Chapter 1166: Several Blind Bears Have Been Created
The east room of the Li family.
Li Ruhai knelt on the ground, with whip marks crisscrossing his bare back.
Opposite him, Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei were sitting on the edge of the kang, taking turns verbally abusing him.
On the other side of the kang, Li Ruhai's vest, Mao suit, cotton jacket and marmot hat were thrown there in a mess.
On the kang table between Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei, there was a stack of paper and a wad of money.
That stack of money was more than a hundred yuan, and Li Ruhai had only been working for less than three months. This money was definitely not his salary, but was all earned by patching together his money.
No wonder that on the day when Li Ruhai stained the cafeteria with blood, when he tremblingly handed the account book to Li Dayong, he said to his father that everything written on the paper was wealth.
You should know that this hundred yuan is not all of Li Ruhai's income, he also has some money that he lends out. And the stack of papers on the kang table are all IOUs with fingerprints.
Jin Xiaomei took a rough look and found that some borrowed as little as three or five yuan, while some borrowed hundreds of yuan. After a rough calculation, she found that the amount of money her son had lent out was as much as two hundred and sixteen yuan.
This kid has only been in this business for more than a month, and he has earned such a large fortune. If this child is sensible, Jin Xiaomei will definitely support her son unswervingly, just like Wang Meilan supports Zhao Jun. But this child, he is not sensible at all.
This needs even more attention, because children like this will cause big troubles whenever they get into trouble.
"Dad, Mom." At this time, Li Baoyu, who was sitting on the kang, called Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei in a low voice, saying, "I just saw that my brother seemed to have passed under the window. Is it my aunt calling us back for dinner?"
Li Baoyu said this not because he was greedy, but because he wanted to help Li Ruhai out of trouble.
After all, they are brothers. When Li Baoyu saw Li Ruhai being pinned to the ground and beaten by Li Dayong, it was he who spoke up for Li Ruhai. Otherwise, Li Ruhai would not even have the chance to kneel.
Hearing what Li Baoyu said, Jin Xiaomei raised her eyebrows, glared at him, and shouted at him, "You still want to eat? Do you still have the nerve to eat other people's food?"
Li Baoyu twitched the corner of his mouth and bowed and retreated quickly.
When Jin Xiaomei got angry, she pointed at Li Ruhai and cursed, "Li Ruhai, how can you be considered a non-human? Your aunt is so good to you? When you work shifts, she always thinks of you when she has something delicious. How can you be considered a human being?"
As she said that, Jin Xiaomei picked up the V-belt on the table and hit Li Ruhai on the head.
Li Ruhai was not stupid either. He quickly put his arms over his head to protect his face. The triangle belt hit his arms and back, leaving streaks of blood.
Jin Xiaomei whipped him seventeen or eighteen times in a row, took two steps back, raised her hand and pointed the triangle belt at Li Ruhai, and said, "Isn't this Little Wolf San'er?"
In Zhao Jun's family, people don't talk about ungrateful people. The one that has the same meaning is Little Wolf San'er.
Li Ruhai sobbed as he listened to Jin Xiaomei saying, "Since 64, when I married your father, your uncle and aunt have been helping us. Let's not talk about anything else these years. You have been eating their food. Don't you know that?"
As she spoke, Jin Xiaomei became angry again and swung the triangle belt to hit Li Ruhai again.
After three more slaps, Jin Xiaomei sat back on the kang, threw the triangle belt onto the table, and then sighed, "I'm too embarrassed to go back to the East Courtyard this time!"
After hearing Jin Xiaomei's words, Li Dayong and Li Baoyu looked at Li Ruhai unfriendlyly.
At this moment, there was a noise at the door of the outer room. Zhao Jun opened the door but did not go in. He just shouted outside: "Uncle, aunt, it's time to eat."
Upon hearing this, Jin Xiaomei glared at Li Ruhai fiercely, then replied, "Jun, we're not going. We've just finished eating."
"Auntie..." Zhao Jun thought for a moment and called Li Dayong, "Uncle, come on over. My dad and mom are waiting for you to have dinner."
Zhao Jun said this, which was also a way for the Li family to get out of trouble. To be honest, Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei were not greedy for the Zhao family's food. They also had a hard life and were full of backbone.
But they could skip the meal, but they couldn't give up the atmosphere of the Zhao family. After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Li Dayong thought, "If I don't go, my eldest brother will definitely wait for me to eat."
Thinking of this, Li Dayong turned to Jin Xiaomei and said softly: "Xiaomei..."
Jin Xiaomei let out a long sigh, and when she stood up, she waved her hand toward the outer room and said, "Let's go and eat."
At Jin Xiaomei's command, Li Dayong and Li Baoyu got off the ground one after another, and at this time Li Ruhai, who was kneeling on the ground, also wanted to get up. But when he stood up, he almost fell to the ground.
Jin Xiaomei subconsciously took a step forward, but then pulled her foot back abruptly.
Looking at her little son covered in wounds, Jin Xiaomei gritted her teeth and pointed at Li Ruhai and said, "Don't go. There is some dry food in the bowl rack in the outer room. Just eat it yourself."
There were some leftover sticky bean curd in the bowl rack, and the only vegetables left were probably pickles. But Jin Xiaomei's firm attitude made Li Ruhai dare not even think of resisting.
But even if he didn't say anything, Jin Xiaomei would pick up the triangle belt again, point it at Li Ruhai and say, "If you dare to show off in the village again, I will beat you to death. I am not your mother!"
After saying that, Jin Xiaomei threw the triangle belt into Li Dayong's arms, turned around and took the money and IOU on the table.
Even so, Li Ruhai did not dare to say anything. At this moment, he was just thankful that he had burned the manuscripts of "Yong'an Bai Li Kui" and "Zhao Erxue's Night Stay in the Mountains", otherwise he would be missing parts.
When Jin Xiaomei, Li Dayong and Li Baoyu came out of the house, Zhao Jun was teasing Xiaohua in the yard.
When the four of them returned to the Zhao family's home in the east courtyard, the tables in the two rooms had not been cleared yet, and Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan were also waiting there.
"Okay, sister-in-law." Wang Meilan pulled Jin Xiaomei to sit down and said, "If our own child is really beaten up, shouldn't we intervene?"
"Alas!" Jin Xiaomei sighed and said, "It's too late. Otherwise, I'll build two more rooms for Baoyu's new house."
In the west room, Zhao Weipeng looked at Li Dayong with great interest. Although he did not personally participate in today's events, Zhao Weipeng was able to understand the cause and effect by listening to everyone's chat at the dinner table.
Zhao Weipeng was very curious about the women's director who was less than fifteen years old. At the same time, he also thought that the Zhao family was interesting.
Zhao Weipeng grew up in the countryside and had experienced rural life, but he had never seen the kind of life the Zhao family lived.
Several families gathered together, eating, drinking, talking and laughing, and the whole house was full of happy people.
Birds of a feather flock together, and Zhao Weipeng unknowingly joined in.
After dinner, the men smoked, drank tea, and chatted in the west room. Whoever felt sleepy lay down on the kang. The women cracked melon seeds, ate frozen pears, and watched TV in the east room.
Around 1 p.m., smoke was rising from the three large pots in the Zhao family. Xie Sun and her daughter-in-law Liu Lanying were plucking goose feathers, Zhao Ling was frying cod, and Jin Xiaomei and Xu Chunyan were chopping donkey meat.
Wang Meilan, Wang Cuihua, Ma Ling and the old lady were wrapping beef in the house. They wrapped some beef legs, beef ribs and beef brisket in butter paper and tightened them into rectangular shapes just like the sauce cubes of Northeastern stew.
Then, take the wrapped beef outside and freeze it. This will be saved for future use in making meat rolls with a planer for hot pot.
We have donkey meat and donkey ribs today, and the beef dinner will be postponed to tomorrow.
But Zhao Jun left out a piece of beef brisket and asked Xu Chunyan to help cut it into small pieces. While Xu Chunyan was cutting the meat, he took Li Baoyu and Jie Chen out to make charcoal.
When it comes to chopping bamboo shoots, pick out mountain pear and basswood branches that are as thick as your wrist, pile them together, light them on fire, and cover them with a large basin.
At this time, Li Baoyu came out of the cellar carrying a feeding bowl.
It was winter and the ground outside could no longer be dug, but the cellar was still frozen, so Zhao Jun asked Li Baoyu to dig some soil.
Add water to the soil and mix it into mud. Use the mud to seal the outer circle of the large basin. Burn it for an hour or so and you will get a pile of charcoal.
While the charcoal was burning, Zhao Jun and his men broke off tree branches and sharpened sticks.
At this time, in the west room of the Li family, Li Ruhai lifted the curtain and took a look outside.
Because he was far away, he couldn't see the hustle and bustle in the Zhao family's courtyard, but he could see smoke rising from the courtyard.
In the west room of the Li family, Zhao Weipeng looked out the window in amazement at the busy scene. Two large stoves were emitting smoke, one was boiling donkey ribs, and the other was boiling a clean ox head.
Boss Zhao has traveled around the country for many years, but he has never seen a family that is so extravagant. Not to mention the countryside, you can't find such a family in the city. They have to spend as much as a banquet every day. Zhao Weipeng is worth nearly a million, but his family's meals are not so extravagant.
At this time, Wang Meilan's voice came from the outer room.
"Yan'er," Wang Meilan said, "Just add the chopped green onions. It's just a token of my appreciation."
At this point, Wang Meilan paused for a moment, then asked, "Have you chopped off all the thigh meat?"
Xu Chunyan agreed, and then she heard Wang Meilan say to Jin Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, I'll put the dumplings in your pot later."
Wang Meilan was thinking that she could leave some dumplings for Li Ruhai by steaming them next door. Children are ignorant, and if the elders are not tolerant, can they expect outsiders to be tolerant of their own children?
"Brother." Listening to Wang Meilan's words, Zhao Weipeng glanced at the outer room, then whispered in Zhao Youcai's ear: "Our family is so organized, it would be strange for my sister-in-law to be elected as the director of the Women's Affairs Department."
"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was stunned, and then he heard Zhao Weipeng continue: "Too out of touch with the masses."
"Who said it wasn't true?" Zhao Youcai said, "She wouldn't listen even if I told her. Who can eat like this every day?"
Their voices were so low that Wang Meilan, who was in the outer room, could not hear them, but Wang Qiang, who was lying next to the kang cabinet, moved his ears and slowly opened his eyes.
"Brother, has your family always eaten this way?" Zhao Weipeng asked again, which made Zhao Youcai slightly startled. After thinking for a moment, he said, "We didn't eat it before, but we have been eating this way for the past few months."
"These past few months?" Zhao Weipeng was shocked, and then he heard Zhao Youcai muttering, "Everything that flies and runs in the mountains, swims and jumps in the river, the chickens, ducks, geese, and sheep raised at home, all of these have been eaten. That guy, from last autumn until now, has killed several blind bears."
Zhao Weipeng: "..."
"Wild boars only pick on old and yellow-haired animals." Zhao Youcai whispered, "Anyway, once they are caught, they are eaten. They have lost count of how many they eat."
"Little pigs are delicious," Zhao Weipeng said, and Zhao Youcai nodded, "Your sister-in-law used to be a landlord, so she only eats the best food. She doesn't hesitate to eat wild boars that weigh more than 200 kilograms, because the meat is too tough. Big ones... that is, deer, they eat their testicles, and she doesn't want those that weigh more than 300 kilograms."
"You're so picky?" Zhao Weipeng frowned and asked, "Then what else can we eat?"
"Well, you've seen it..." Zhao Youcai gestured and said, "My kid is pretty good, he caught a lot of wild boars. And as you've seen, your brother's shooting skills are really awesome. Let me tell you, brother. That time I went up the mountain, I only had a gun with ten bullets in a magazine, and I killed eleven pigs in one battle that day."
"Really?" Zhao Weipeng asked casually, and saw Zhao Youcai curl his lips and said, "Really? I didn't say that before we drank that day? What's the matter? You just drink whatever I say?"
"No, brother." Zhao Weipeng might have been drunk that day, so he just laughed and changed the subject.
"In just these few months..." Zhao Youcai calculated in his mind, and then said to Zhao Weipeng: "We will have to eat thirty or forty wild boars."
"Ah?" Zhao Weipeng was shocked when he heard what Zhao Youcai said, "Is that what you guys eat?"
"Yeah." Zhao Youcai said, "The amount of food eaten by roe deer is even more uncountable. Yes, they also eat sheep."
Zhao Youcai laughed as he spoke, "A good, big ewe was suffocated by your sister-in-law with a hammer."
"Oh my God!" Zhao Weipeng was startled, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Is my sister-in-law so evil?"
"Oh my..." Zhao Youcai was about to reply when he heard someone beside him say, "The old cow is still eating one."
Wang Qiang sat up.
"You!" At this time, Zhao Weipeng thought Wang Qiang was mocking him and Zhao Youcai for shooting at Daqingniu, so he immediately rolled his eyes at Wang Qiang and said, "Qiangzi, you can't just insult people without exposing their shortcomings. Why do you keep talking about this? Wasn't that a mistake between me and your brother-in-law?"
"No, Brother Zhao." Wang Qiang glanced at Zhao Youcai, then smiled at Zhao Weipeng and said, "I didn't say you. I said before you came, we were eating an old cow."
"Ah?" Zhao Weipeng was even more shocked. The Zhao family ate wild boars, bears, and roe deer. These were all mountain animals. The Zhao family could eat as many as they wanted. Chickens, ducks, geese, and even sheep were fine. But cattle were big animals. As the old saying goes, one cow can do the work of seven people. Especially in forest farms and rural areas, cattle were very precious.
"Get out of here." At this time, Zhao Youcai said to Wang Qiang unhappily, and asked, "Weren't you there that day too?"
Zhao Youcai felt wronged when talking about this incident. Three people went there that day, so why did he get all the blame?
"Hmm?" Zhao Weipeng knew there was a story here. Before he could ask, Zhao Youcai explained, "It happened the other day. We were leading the dogs up the mountain. When we got to the southern end of the land, we ran into them herding cattle. Then one of our dogs was wicked and went over to bite other people's cattle. When it took the lead, the other dogs rushed over and knocked the old cow down."
"Ah..." Zhao Weipeng said sympathetically after hearing this: "Brother, this is not your fault."
"Who said it wasn't true?" Zhao Youcai said, rolling his eyes at Wang Qiang and said, "They keep talking about it, and it spreads. The villagers are not good at talking, and what they say is outrageous."
Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Zhao Weipeng suddenly remembered something. When the two of them were running down after killing the big blue ox, Zhao Youcai had told him that if they didn't run away quickly, the villagers would give them a nickname if the news got out.
Thinking of this, Zhao Weipeng hurriedly asked Zhao Youcai, "Brother, now that the story is over, what nickname did the villagers give you?"
Zhao Youcai: "..."
I will start to update tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Before the Chinese New Year, I have to catch the Siberian tiger on Laoguitouzi Ridge and send it for breeding and feeding. After the Chinese New Year, Zhao Jun got married.
