Chapter 1148: Recalling the Past
Zhao Jun didn't expect that Boss Zhao would make such a request, but he didn't refuse.
Guests are welcome, and although Zhao Weipeng has not been with Zhao Jun for a long time, his behavior and conduct have been recognized by Zhao Jun.
As Zhao Jun agreed, Zhao Weipeng, Zhao Jun and Jie Chen dragged the brown bear down the mountain together.
I saw a fat man with a hemp rope on his shoulder, his hands tightly grasping one end of the rope, his fat body leaning forward, and the fat on his face was tight.
The other end of the hemp rope was tied to the brown bear's leg. As Zhao Jun shouted, the three of them worked together to drag the big brown bear through the snow.
When they got down the mountain, it was already past noon. There was still another seven or eight miles to go before they met up with Wang Qiang, Huang Gui and others. Zhao Weipeng sat on the brown bear's waist, panting. He refused to move forward no matter what.
"Nephew, I can't do it anymore." Zhao Weipeng said to Zhao Jun with a sad face, "My stomach is growling."
"Little brother," Zhao Jun asked Jie Chen, "Do you have any dry food in your pocket?"
"Yes!" Xie Chen agreed first, then asked, "Brother Jun, shall we eat?"
"I'm not hungry. I'm going to go find my uncle and his family." Zhao Jun raised his hand in the direction of the crowd and said to Jie Chen, "Make a fire and have a meal with you two, Uncle Zhao."
"Hey!" Xie Chen said, "Brother Jun, then go slower."
Zhao Jun nodded and said to Zhao Weipeng, "Uncle, I'm going to go find them to sled. You and Xiaochen can stay here for a while, and then we'll have a good meal tonight."
"Well, go ahead." Zhao Weipeng waved his fat hands and said, "We'll wait for you here."
"Okay then." Zhao Jun responded to Zhao Weipeng, then looked at Jie Chen and said, "Little brother, you guys should be more careful."
"Don't worry, nephew." Before Xie Chen could say anything, Zhao Weipeng took over Zhao Jun's words. He confidently took the submachine gun beside him and said, "Your uncle is here, what are you afraid of?"
It would have been better if he hadn't said that. When he said that, Zhao Jun immediately thought of Zhang Yuanmin. When he thought of Zhang Yuanmin, Zhao Jun's heart was lifted up all of a sudden.
Zhao Jun thought about it, then took the gun off his shoulder, raised it into the air and fired three shots in an attempt to scare away any wild animals nearby.
After firing three shots, Zhao Jun put the gun on his back and gave instructions to Zhao Weipeng and Jie Chen again before he set out to meet up with Wang Qiang and others.
After Zhao Jun left, Zhao Weipeng patted the brown bear, then shouted at the top of his voice: "Go pee!"
"Uncle Zhao." Hearing Zhao Weipeng's call, Xie Chen didn't even bother to pick up the firewood, and ran over to ask, "What's going on?"
"Hey?" Zhao Weipeng asked Jie Chen, "Can I peel off the bear skin and make a coat?"
"No." Xie Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhao. This thing is too heavy. You won't be able to wear it after it's done."
At this point, Xie Chen paused for a moment and said, "It's OK to make a mattress. A bearskin mattress will keep you warm."
Zhao Weipeng heard this and said, "I still want to make a coat. It will look good if I can't wear it but hang it at home."
"That's fine." Xie Chen glanced at the bear as he spoke, then smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, how can you make clothes after this blind bear beats you like that?"
Zhao Weipeng beat the blind bear's chest and back like a sieve, and his clothes were full of bullet holes.
"You don't understand this." Zhao Weipeng said with a smile: "These bullet holes are traces of battle, and they are a testimony to my bravery."
Upon hearing this, Xie Chen's mouth twitched, his eyes clicked, and he didn't say anything. He turned around and continued to collect firewood.
A few minutes later, Xie Chen came back with the firewood. After throwing it on the ground, he grabbed the bag next to him and took out a flour bag.
Inside the flour bag were three layers of gauze bags. When Zhao Weipeng saw the dry food that Xie Chen took out from the gauze bags, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Vegetable basket?"
These days Huang Gui, Jiang Weifeng and the Chen brothers are living in the newly bought house of the Xie family. They don't come to the Zhao family for dinner in the morning, but go directly to the Jiang family next door to live with the old lady and Xie Sun.
When I came back from Zhao's house last night, Liu Lanying gave me a bowl of cornmeal, Xie Sun chopped four heads of sauerkraut, and I steamed three pots of sauerkraut this morning.
The Zhao family's gang has grown rapidly in the past few days, and the consumption of large pancakes has also increased a lot. The more than one pound of pancakes left in the Zhao family is not enough for Zhao Jun and his men to go up the mountain today, so Liu Lanying filled a dozen sauerkraut baskets for Jie Chen.
Zhao Weipeng's hometown is Huludao. When he was a child, his family often made this. But later, as his family conditions improved, Zhao Weipeng never touched cornmeal again.
Twenty or thirty years later, some people always advocate that eating whole grains is healthier. But for people of Zhao Weipeng's age, he ate too much cornmeal when he was a child and he hates it.
But the sudden appearance of the sauerkraut basket today instantly brought back Zhao Weipeng's childhood memories.
"Uncle." Xie Chen said to Zhao Weipeng, "Let's make do with this."
"Okay, okay." Zhao Weipeng nodded repeatedly and watched Jie Chen string the vegetable basket together with branches. Zhao Weipeng looked straight at the vegetable basket that Jie Chen had inserted into the snow, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
"My parents were working outside a few days ago, and I stayed in the village with my grandma." Zhao Weipeng seemed to be mumbling to himself, but Jie Chen heard him clearly. He only heard him say: "I like to eat stuffed dumplings, but what can anyone have at home? The old lady made this for me in winter, with sauerkraut and cornmeal, which are what we have at home. But the old lady made two different stuffings. For me, she put lard in it; for her own, she didn't put anything in it, just sauerkraut."
"We have oil here too." Xie Chen said frankly, "It's already been filled with oil."
Zhao Weipeng's mouth twitched. What he was missing was the greasy food? What he was missing was the old man who used to pack vegetables for him.
Strings of vegetable baskets were placed around the fire. Xie Chen told Zhao Weipeng to turn over the dry food while he continued to collect firewood from the surroundings.
After spending the whole morning at home, the vegetable basket was frozen. I stuck it somewhere far away from the fire and let it slowly thaw.
Zhao Weipeng rubbed his hands together and then spread them out in front of the fire to keep warm.
When Xie Chen came back with firewood, he threw it aside and said to Zhao Weipeng, "Uncle Zhao, you get up first."
"Huh?" Zhao Weipeng stood up subconsciously and saw Jiechen pulling one of the brown bear's arms, exposing its chest.
Jie Chen took out a knife, cut a small piece of fat from the brown bear's chest, and roasted it by the fire with the tip of the knife.
As the fat meat was roasted, fat quickly came out. Xie Chen smeared bear fat on the vegetable basket, and Zhao Weipeng nodded repeatedly.
Although cornmeal dry food is a coarse grain, it tastes better after being fried with oil than roasted or fried steamed bread slices.
After Jie Chen and Zhao Weipeng had eaten their fill, Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang and a group of people came over on foot.
Xie Chen and Zhao Weipeng were on a drivable firewood transport road that could be driven on by both Jiefang trucks and Dongfanghong tractors, let alone sleds.
But the horse could smell the scent of a brown bear from afar and refused to move forward no matter what.
Horses are different from cows. If you force a horse to come forward, it will easily get its hair damaged.
There was no choice but to stop the sled far away, tie the horse to a tree, and then everyone came to pull the bear.
The bear got closer and closer to the horse, and the horse growled and pulled at the reins tied to the tree.
On the return journey, they first arrived at the 129th Lengchang. According to the agreement between Zhao Jun and Wang Fenghai, Zhao Jun found the inspector Ma Liang.
"Oh my god!" Ma Liang was surprised when he saw Zhao Jun for the first time, "I thought I wouldn't see you before the New Year."
Zhao Jun laughed, and secretly pulled Ma Liang over and said, "One day when it's convenient, find another half meter of wood for Wang Baotou."
"Okay, that's easy." Ma Liang agreed immediately, and then asked, "Did you kill that blind bear?"
"Yes!" Zhao Jun nodded with a smile and said, "Shall I cut you a piece of meat?"
"That's great!" Ma Liang followed Zhao Jun out with a smile. Seeing Ma Liang chatting and laughing with Zhao Jun, Wang Fenghai hurried over and nodded to Ma Liang, saying, "Technician Ma."
The inspector's position is not high, but he has considerable power, especially in front of the bosses and the households.
Ma Liang glanced at Wang Fenghai and nodded, "Technician Zhao told me about this. I'll remember it."
"Hey, hey!" Wang Fenghai was very happy. He stood aside, rubbing his hands, watching Zhao Jun cutting meat for Ma Liang.
Zhao Jun was never stingy. He cut off seven or eight pounds of fat from the brown bear and cut open the inside of the brown bear's thigh to take out about three pounds of lean meat.
The ten pounds of meat, both fat and lean, were given to Ma Liang, and Zhao Jun cut off about five pounds of fat and gave it to Wang Fenghai.
After thanking Zhao Jun, Wang Fenghai and his brother continued to drive the sled to take Zhao Jun and his group down the mountain.
After going down the mountain, they loaded the brown bear into the truck. Zhao Jun drove the jeep and Jie Chen drove the Liberation truck, and they headed straight to Yong'an Forest Farm.
After arriving at Yong'an Forest Farm, they stopped the car in front of the office building. Zhao Jun and Zhao Weipeng went to Zhou Chunming's office to hand in the task, while Zhou Da Kui ran to the security team to find his colleagues.
When they arrived at Zhou Chunming's office, Zhao Jun knocked on the door twice. Soon Yu Quanjin came to open the door. When he saw that it was Zhao Jun and Zhao Weipeng, he quickly invited them in.
"Zhao Jun!" Seeing Zhao Jun, Zhou Chunming immediately stood up and asked him, "How are you?"
"Beat him to death!" Before Zhao Jun could say anything, Zhao Weipeng answered first: "I beat him to death!"
"Huh?" Zhou Chunming and Yu Quanjin were stunned, and they looked at Zhao Weipeng in disbelief.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Although Zhao Weipeng is also a fun-loving person, he has been in business for many years and is quite good at observing people's expressions. Zhao Weipeng felt that Zhou and Yu's eyes were not right, and he was a little unhappy.
"Boss Zhao, I'm a little confused, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"We're done." Zhao Weipeng waved his fat hand and said, "Secretary Zhou, I have to call Old Chu."
"Call, call!" Zhou Chunming picked up the phone and quickly answered it. After connecting the forestry line, he turned around and said to Zhao Weipeng, "Director Chu called me this morning and asked you to call him when you get back."
As soon as Zhou Chunming finished speaking, Chu Anmin's voice came from the other end of the microphone. Zhou Chunming handed the microphone to Zhao Weipeng, who shouted with excitement, "Old Chu, I killed that big brown bear, Xiong Ba, who bit people to death!"
After Zhao Weipeng finished speaking, he paused for a moment. It should be because Chu Anmin on the other end of the microphone said something. Zhao Weipeng's face instantly turned red and he shouted, "No! I'm not bragging! Look! Why don't you believe me?"
Not to mention that he didn't believe it, even Zhou Chunming didn't believe it. He walked over and winked at Zhao Jun, who smiled and nodded, saying, "Boss Zhao bought the gun."
"Did he really kill him?" Zhou Chunming asked Zhao Jun again. Zhao Jun said, "He really killed him. He is now downstairs."
"Then I'll go down." Zhou Chunming said, walked to the sofa, picked up the cotton monkey and put it on, then walked to his desk, opened the drawer and took out a wad of money.
Fifty big unity tickets, this is the bonus the forest farm promised to give to the bear hunter.
Seeing Zhou Chunming walking towards Zhao Jun with the money, Zhao Weipeng shouted to the other end of the phone: "If you don't believe me, just throw it away!"
After saying that, Zhao Weipeng hung up the phone.
"Hey! Hey?" Chu Anmin was anxious on the other end of the phone. Before he had time to urge Zhao Weipeng to investigate quickly, the call was hung up.
But when Chu Anmin called again, no one answered Zhou Chunming's call.
Zhou Chunming and Yu Quanjin followed Zhao Jun and Zhao Weipeng downstairs to see the brown bear. When they got downstairs, all the security guards had already arrived.
Although the security team leader Liu Jinyong went home, his colleague's revenge was avenged, and all the security guards on the scene came.
Zhou Chunming came over to take a look and was shocked to see the big brown bear's grim death. He subconsciously asked, "How many bullets did it take?"
Zhao Jun and others smiled and no one said anything. At this time, Zhao Weipeng was eager to try.
"Um..." At this time, a security guard walked out. He had gray hair on his temples and looked quite old.
His name is Bao Xinguo, and he is an experienced security guard at the forest farm. However, his legs and feet are not as agile as they were when he was young, and he is approaching retirement, so he gave up his position as deputy team leader to Hong Yuntao last year.
"Brother Bao." Zhou Chunming was very polite to Bao Xinguo and asked, "What do your security team say?"
"Secretary Zhou, our team leader Liu has been working at the site for three days and three nights, and he just came down the mountain this morning." Bao Xinguo first explained on behalf of Liu Jinyong, and then said, "Our security team has nothing to say, except to thank Zhao Jun."
As he spoke, Bao Xinguo turned to Zhao Jun and bowed slightly. The security guards followed Bao Xinguo and saluted Zhao Jun one after another.
Zhao Jun quickly made way for him, then held Bao Xinguo's arm from the side and said sincerely, "Uncle Bao, we are all colleagues, and this is what we should do."
Bao Xinguo smiled at Zhao Jun, gently pushed away the hand that was supporting his arm, then clasped his fists and said to Wang Qiang and others: "Thank you, everyone!"
Others may not know Bao Xinguo, but Wang Qiang does. He clasped his fists and said to Bao Xinguo in return, "Brother, we are all relatives in the village, so there is no need to be polite."
As he spoke, Wang Qiang waved his hand aside and pointed at Huang Gui, saying, "These are not outsiders."
Bao Xinguo smiled and nodded to everyone, then said to Zhao Jun, "Xiao Zhao, Master Bao wants to ask you a favor."
"Uncle Bao, we men don't ask for favors." Zhao Jun said hurriedly, "What's the matter? Just tell me."
"Give us that blind bear's head..." Before Bao Xinguo could finish his words, someone shouted, "No!"
"Huh?" Bao Xinguo looked in the direction of the voice and saw a strange fat man. He couldn't help but frowned.
"Brother." Zhao Weipeng was not an unreasonable person. He had not stolen Zhao Jun's limelight just now, but at this moment he clasped his fists towards Bao Xinguo and said, "I can't give you this blind bear's head now."
Bao Xinguo was a little confused. A bear's head was not as good as a wild boar's head or a roe deer's head. No one would eat a bear's head.
"Hurry up!" After speaking to Bao Xinguo, Zhao Weipeng waved to Zhao Jun repeatedly and urged him.
Zhao Jun curled his lips helplessly, but his hands did not slow down at all and took out the camera from his bag.
Looking at Zhao Weipeng again, he turned around and stretched out his hand to Zhou Chunming, saying, "Secretary Zhou, give me the bonus."
"Ah..." Zhou Chunming put the money in Zhao Weipeng's hand in a daze, and then saw Zhao Weipeng climbing onto the back of the Jiefang truck with the money in his hand.
Surrounded by twenty or thirty people, Zhao Weipeng lay on the brown bear, holding the bear's head with his left hand and holding the prize high in his right hand, asking Zhao Jun to record this moment for him.
Sorry brothers, the update is over. I was woken up by the cold at around three in the morning. After that, I sat in front of the stove until around five, then found a car and drove down the mountain.
I returned to the village at the foot of the mountain at around 10 o'clock, and will update as usual tonight
