Chapter 1164: Ru Hai Zhang Family
Chapter 1164 Ru Hai Returns Home
Zhao Youcai was a little confused at the moment. He came down from the mountain before dawn in the morning and went directly to Mangliutun to find Zhang Lifeu. He told Zhang Lifeu to drive the sled up the mountain at dawn and pick up the cattle from the 27th Lengchang.
After the dead big blue snake was pulled down, it was transported directly to Zhang Lifu's house to be skinned and meated. Then Zhang Lifu would take the meat to the market to sell it.
Zhao Baotou did not show up during the whole process, so as to avoid being known about his second slaughter of cattle.
In this way, Zhao Youcai not only saved his face, but also recovered part of his capital.
Zhang Life is Zhao Youcai's old brother. His obedience to Zhao Baotou is no less than Li Dayong's, and much higher than Wang Qiang's. It stands to reason that he should not make mistakes when doing things for Zhao Youcai.
But at this time Zhao Youcai had a bad feeling, and the person who came might not be Zhang Lifeu.
According to what Ma Dafu said just now, the person who delivered the cattle could not find the exact location of the Zhao family, so this person was not Zhang Lifeu.
Zhao Youcai walked towards the door with doubts in his heart. Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan, who were following behind him, looked at each other, and the two mothers curled their lips at the same time.
When Zhao Youcai arrived at the gate of the yard, a sled stopped in front of him.
The person driving the sled was Liu Er, the sled owner whom Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng met when they went up the mountain the day before yesterday.
There was an ox lying on the sled and a man sitting. The ox was the one shot to death by Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng, and the man was Fan Tiangui.
They came down from the mountain at dawn and sent Tang Xiaomin, Lin Weilong and Lin Weihu to the railway station next to the market. Then, they drove the oxen to Yong'antun.
Because they were not taking the same road, Fan Tiangui and his companions did not run into Zhang Lifeu. At this time, Zhang Lifeu, who had come up empty-handed, was looking for someone in the 27th field to inquire about cattle.
"Second brother." Fan Tiangui stood up from the sled and greeted Zhao Youcai enthusiastically, saying, "Are you home?"
The corner of Zhao Youcai's mouth twitched, and at this moment he wished he could kill Fan Tiangui with a hammer.
"Brother." As soon as Fan Tiangui finished speaking, Liu Er next to him greeted Zhao Youcai in a muffled voice.
"Hmm?" Zhao Youcai frowned as he looked at this man and asked, "Brother, you are... why do I feel confused when I see you?"
The traitor was startled when he heard this, then smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother, don't you remember me? That day you and the fat guy went to the northwest poplar forest, and that was the path I pointed out to you."
"Ah..." Hearing him say that, Zhao Youcai suddenly remembered, but before Zhao Youcai could say anything, the tenant continued, "Brother, you said that you blamed me that day. If I hadn't shown you that path, you wouldn't have been beaten to death by Old Lin's bull."
Zhao Youcai: "..."
Zhao Jun, Wang Meilan: "..."
Ma Dafu and Wang Cuihua looked at each other. The couple were shocked by Liu Er's words.
"My relative-in-law killed a cow again?" Ma Dafu looked at Zhao Youcai with shock in his eyes. The last time Zhao Youcai's "feat" of slaughtering a cow spread throughout the Yong'an Forest District, it had only been a short time. Only about a month had passed, and yet another cow died at the hands of Zhao Youcai's gun.
As soon as Liu Er said that, Zhao Youcai looked at Ma Dafu with a little shame. When he met Ma Dafu's strange eyes, Zhao Youcai wanted to die.
"We brought this cow to you." Liu Er couldn't tell who was doing what, and continued, "We didn't touch any of the meat. And the offal was also put in there. But you shot the cow's stomach, and the stuff inside leaked out and buried Ba Tai."
"Okay, brother." Zhao Youcai stopped Liu Er from speaking, and then said to him and Fan Tiangui: "Brother Fan, let's go inside."
"Yes, come in and warm up." Wang Meilan also let someone in, saying, "After that, I'll pick out a few dishes and we'll have lunch here."
"No, no." Fan Tiangui hastily declined, saying, "We have to go back. We still have work to do in the field."
The households working in the mountains are not well off. After all, those with good conditions would not come out to do this.
But although they are poor, their spirits are not poor. Most of these people abide by the rules and will not easily visit other people's homes unless they are relatives or friends.
Because they worked in the mountains and lived in shacks, their clothes were very dirty. They had not taken a bath for a long time, so their hair was full of lice, and the gaps in their cotton-padded jackets and the seams of their jackets were full of white nits.
In addition, because he had been around cattle and horses for a long time, he smelled bad, so he would not easily enter other people's homes.
After hearing Fan Tiangui reject the Zhao family's invitation, Liu Er also waved his hand and said to Zhao Youcai: "Brother, we won't go in. Just send the cattle to you."
It would have been fine if he didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, Zhao Youcai felt very touched.
Seeing that the two were determined to leave, Wang Meilan hurriedly urged Zhao Jun, saying, "Son, quickly check the big jar for dry food and get a bag for your uncle Fan and the others."
After talking to Zhao Jun, Wang Meilan turned to Fan Tiangui and Liu Er and said, "Brother Fan, can you and this brother have a meal at our house?"
Fan and Liu declined again. Soon Zhao Jun came out of the house with a butter paper package and two packs of flower-shaped cigarettes. He gave the two dry food and cigarettes.
Fan and Liu did not enter the house, but accepted the cigarettes and dry food given by the Zhao family. Then, with the help of the two, Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai, Ma Dafu and other five men pulled the big blue bull off the sled and dragged it into the Zhao family yard.
At this time, the windowsills of the east and west rooms in the Zhao family's house were full of people, but when Zhao Jun came in just now, he asked them to wait a while before leaving, so everyone was watching the fun in the house.
After seeing off the "kind" Fan and Liu, Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan welcomed Ma Dafu and Wang Cuihua into the house. After greeting each other, Zhao Youcai looked at Lin Xiangshun and said, "Shunzi, you guys should quickly drag that old cow behind the house."
There is a road in front of the yard, and it is not good to have people coming and going there. The right thing to do is to move them to the backyard as soon as possible.
Just as Lin Xiangshun agreed, Wang Meilan said, "Pick out the good meat and leave it aside for us to eat."
After saying that, Wang Meilan turned to Ma Dafu and Wang Cuihua and said, "My dear relatives, you are not going to walk today. You can eat here for lunch and dinner."
"No, no." Wang Cuihua shook her head and said, "My daughter is at home cooking. We have to go back soon."
"Yes." Ma Dafu continued, and gestured to Zhao Youcai, saying, "I didn't see my in-laws during the meeting today, and then I heard from the boy that my in-laws were not well, so your mother-in-law and I came here."
"Come here and don't leave." Wang Meilan said, turning to Zhao Jun and said, "Son, go to your uncle Ma's house and pick up Ling'er and little Ma Yang."
At this time, Ma Dafu and Wang Cuihua, who were "sheep in the tiger's mouth", could not leave even if they wanted to. They were kept in the house by Zhao Youcai, Wang Meilan, Wang Qiang, Li Dayong, the old lady, and Jie Sun.
Jin Xiaomei, Zhao Ling, Xu Chunyan, and Liu Lanying took knives and basins and followed Lin Xiangshun, Li Baoyu, and Jie Chen to skin and unload the cattle.
Zhao Jun went to Ma Ling's house to pick up the two sisters, while Zhao Weipeng came out of the house to watch the fun.
Zhao Weipeng didn't know how the cow got to Zhao Jun's house, but he had already accepted his fate. Thinking about it, it was a good thing to have beef to eat in the evening.
When Zhao Jun arrived at the Ma family, Ma Ling was the only one at home peeling potatoes. As for Ma Yang, Ma Ling said that he had gone to a classmate's house to do homework.
But Zhao Jun scoffed at this. He guessed that there was an 80% chance that the boy had gone to the earth to hunt pheasants and mountain rabbits.
When Ma Ling heard Zhao Jun asking her to come over for dinner, she refused at first, but she couldn't resist Zhao Jun's persuasion, so she left a note in Ma Yang's house, and then the two of them went to Zhao Jun's house.
There is strength in numbers. When Zhao Jun returned from Ma's house, all the cowhide had been peeled off.
At this time, Jin Xiaomei and the others were cutting meat. After Zhao Jun brought Ma Ling over, Ma Ling wanted to help, but Zhao Ling drove her back into the house.
How can you ask your young wife to work when she is not married yet? If you want to work, don't be in a hurry. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
After Zhao Jun and Ma Ling entered the house, Wang Meilan pulled Ma Ling to her side. Wang Meilan was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law. Of course, it was mainly because her son liked her. Wang Meilan's idea was very simple. If her son was happy, she would be happy.
In the house, Zhao Youcai, Wang Meilan, Li Dayong, the old lady, and Xie Sun were accompanying Ma Dafu's family of three. Wang Qiang and Zhao Jun came out of the house and went to the backyard to watch Jin Xiaomei and the others cut meat and remove bones, and chatted with Lin Xiangshun and the others.
"Oh!" Wang Qiang, who was smoking next to him, shook his head slightly and sighed, "Such a big bull was killed with just two shots."
Zhao Weipeng rolled his eyes at Wang Qiang and said unhappily, "No matter how big it is, it can't withstand a gun."
After spending these days together, Zhao Weipeng got along well with this group of people, and chatting, laughing and arguing were common.
"Brother Zhao." Wang Qiang smiled at Zhao Weipeng and said, "Beating this cow has nothing to do with you, right?"
"Huh?" Zhao Weipeng was startled, and then he heard Wang Qiang continue: "These two shots were fired by my brother-in-law, right?"
"This..." Even though Zhao Weipeng was a reliable person, he wanted to agree with Wang Qiang at this moment, because the nickname "Tuniupang" was too embarrassing.
But then, Wang Qiang laughed and said, "Brother Zhao, you have to take action. This old cow will be shot 20 to 30 times."
Hearing the laughter coming from all around, Zhao Weipeng realized that Wang Qiang was mocking his poor shooting skills.
"Who said that? What did they say?" Zhao Weipeng said, "We each fired one shot. I fired the second shot, and I saw the old cow fall down right after I finished firing."
"That's right." Li Dayong also joked, "The gun you added last would have fallen down earlier, and you wouldn't be able to shoot it."
"Is that possible?" Zhao Weipeng shouted, "We have planned the shooting. Once Zhao Jun's father's gun goes off, my gun will go off as well."
"Uncle." Zhao Jun pulled Zhao Weipeng and said, "Why are you fighting over this? It's not a good thing!"
"Huh?" Zhao Weipeng was stunned, but he also reacted. Yes, Zhao Jun was right, this is not a good thing, and he can't get the limelight even if he fights.
Everyone laughed. Zhao Weipeng sighed, raised his head 45 degrees to the sky, and muttered quietly: "Anyway, I have no problem shooting."
"Yes." Lin Xiangshun was a junior. When Li Dayong, Wang Qiang and Zhao Weipeng were joking, he and Zhao Jun tried to smooth things over, saying, "Uncle Zhao was a soldier. He must have no problem with shooting a gun."
"That's right!" Zhao Weipeng's face trembled, and he said, "When I was in the army, I was the one who took on the dirtiest and most tiring missions!"
At any time, the PLA has never let the people down. When Zhao Weipeng mentioned his military experience, both men and women were in awe. In this atmosphere, no one thought carefully about what Zhao Weipeng had just said. They thought that other people had the hardest and most tiring jobs, so why was he the dirtiest and most tiring?
A large piece of cowhide was hung up, and the cow's head, tail and four hooves were collected in a pile.
Pieces of the best beef were thrown onto the chopping board, and large beef bones were collected in a large basin.
There are four and a half ribs, stacked two by two, with two tenderloins next to them.
Seeing that the cattle were almost unloaded, Jin Xiaomei said to Zhao Jun, "Jun, why don't you call your mother out? Let her see how to prepare the meat?"
They are only responsible for doing the work, and the general direction is always controlled by Wang Meilan.
Zhao Jun came back not long after he left. He said to Jin Xiaomei, "Aunt, my mom told you to watch over the process and make lunch first."
Zhao Jun gestured to the front yard and said, "Cook some frozen dumplings, stir-fry three vegetables and make a cold dish."
It was almost twelve o'clock, and the women were busy together. Smoke was coming out of the three big pots in Zhao Jun's house.
Soon, four dishes, including beef with green onions, beef with sauerkraut, beef with cabbage and black fungus, and home-cooked cold dishes, were served along with dumplings. Men, women, young and old enjoyed a sumptuous lunch in the east and west rooms of the Zhao family.
When the women eat, they take care of their children first, but the children have small appetites and leave the table after not eating much.
Maybe because she ate too many fried peanuts in the morning, Li Xiaoqiao felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, so Xiao Lingdang took her to the toilet.
When he came out of the toilet, Li Xiaoqiao saw Li Ruhai coming from the west.
"Brother!" Li Xiaoqiao ran towards Li Ruhai. She was still young and didn't know what her brother had done. She only knew that Li Ruhai was good to her.
"Xiaoqiao." Li Ruhai missed his sister after not going home for a whole week, but he didn't dare go home after the meeting and has been hanging around outside until now. He only went home when he saw others go home for lunch or nap.
Seeing Li Ruhai, Xiao Lingdang greeted him, but at this time the brother and sister were already hugging each other. Xiao Lingdang shook her head and walked into the yard.
When Li Ruhai returned home, Xiaohua was very excited. Other dogs didn't bark much, only Xiaohua kept barking.
Its cry attracted the attention of people in the house.
Seeing Xiao Lingdang enter the house, Wang Meilan asked, "Lingdang, which dog is barking outside?"
"Xiaohua." Xiao Lingdang answered, "My uncle Li is back, and Xiaohua just kept calling."
"Your Uncle Li?" After hearing Xiao Lingdang's words, Jin Xiaomei put down her chopsticks and stood up. Wang Meilan couldn't stop her.
Coming out of the east room, Jin Xiaomei stood in the outer room and called out to Li Dayong, "Dayong, your son is back!"
You have to listen to Yin'er when he is obedient. When he is happy, he is our son. When he is angry, he is your son.
Li Dayong, who was holding a glass to clink glasses with everyone, was stunned. He tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Then he stood up and walked out.
At this time, the brother and sister no longer hugged each other. Li Ruhai held his sister's shoulders and said, "Little brother, look at my sister. Oh, her little face has become fatter again."
Li Xiaoqiao smiled at Li Ruhai and said, "Brother, I've gained weight and my clothes can no longer fit me."
"Hahaha..." Smart people don't need to say too much. Li Ruhai laughed and said, "Then the cotton-padded jacket that mom made for you will be just right, right?"
Children still need to grow, so whether you are making clothes for them or buying clothes, you should always order one or two sizes larger.
Li Xiaoqiao pursed her lips when she heard that, shook Li Ruhai's arm, and said, "Brother, I think the down jacket that Zhao's sister-in-law is wearing is really beautiful..."
"Brother will buy it for you!" Li Ruhai made a promise to the little girl before his sister finished speaking.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoqiao threw herself into Li Ruhai's arms and said coquettishly, "Little brother, you are the best..."
"Li Ruhai!" A loud shout interrupted Li Xiaoqiao's words. The little girl glanced secretly and saw her parents coming out of the Zhao family's yard angrily. Li Xiaoqiao tried to break free from Li Ruhai's arms without saying a word.
At this time, Li Ruhai was a little panicked. He subconsciously hugged Li Xiaoqiao, thinking that his parents would definitely not use force since his sister was in his arms.
But the next second, Li Xiaoqiao squatted down, broke away from Li Ruhai's arms, and pushed Li Ruhai out with both hands.
Li Ruhai: "..."
