Chapter 1219 Zhao Jun's Stepmother
When Zhao Jun heard Tang Daquan say he had something to discuss with him, he thought it was most likely hunting, and he was looking for a live roe deer or wild boar.
But when they arrived at Tang Daquan's house, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen had rolled the leaf tobacco beside them, and Tang Daquan's wife had brought him tea. Then Tang Daquan said to Zhao Jun, "My nephew, I want to ask you something."
"Uncle Tang, what's the matter? Tell me." Zhao Jun responded politely, and then Tang Daquan asked, "I heard that you went to Yongxing to participate in the spring hunting in the early spring this year."
"Ah!" Zhao Jun nodded, and pointed to the side, pointing at Li Baoyu and said, "That's right, Uncle Tang, we two brothers went there."
"They give bonuses for good performance in spring hunting, right?" Tang Daquan asked.
Zhao Jun was confused by his question. Zhao Jun couldn't understand why Tang Daquan asked this question. Although the Tang family's conditions were not as good as Zhao Jun's, they were still a superior family in the forest area. And I didn't hear that anyone in the Tang family hunted, so why were they thinking about the bonus from Yongxing Brigade?
Are you asking on behalf of others?
"Nephew, what do I mean?" Just as Zhao Jun was thinking about it, Tang Daquan explained himself: "I want to instigate it. Let's hold a spring hunt in our family quarters in the early spring of next year."
Hearing his words, Zhao Jun became even more confused.
To organize a spring hunt, you have to know how to hunt.
But in the four family settlements, the main labor force is almost all working in the forest farm. The proportion of hunters in the village is far less than that of Yongxing Brigade, let alone Lingnan.
The Yongxing Brigade has a special hunting team, and the higher-ups have allocated guns to the militia. Yu Xuewen and Tao Dabao can command a team of 200 people with a single shout, while the Yongli Village has only two semi-automatic rifles, and even if the scattered guns in the village are counted, there are no more than ten people armed.
There are thirty or forty people in the four family quarters together, which is not as many as the group of beards on the mountain before.
Zhao Jun followed Zhao Youcai to Tang Daquan's house to serve as a feast master since he was ten years old. He has never seen the old man again since then, but Zhao Jun has memories of his previous life.
In Zhao Jun's opinion, Tang Daquan was a very good person and a very competent village chief. But there was only one thing about him: he was ambitious and could not sit still.
Tang Daquan served as the village chief until he was seventy years old.
"Uncle Tang." Zhao Jun said cautiously, "How many people in our four family quarters can go hunting?"
"Um..." Tang Daquan pointed out the window and said, "Aren't there still our security team?"
"How many people are there?" Zhao Jun said with a wry smile, "Master Tang, can there be fifty people?"
The people in the security team can shoot, and their shooting skills are pretty good, but being able to shoot and being able to surround are two different things.
But there was no way he could discuss this in detail with Tang Daquan. If Zhao Jun talked too much, it would seem as if the kid was looking down on him.
"That's fine." Tang Daquan waved his hand and said, "There are those old hooligans on our left and right. Many of them go up the mountain."
Hearing this, Zhao Jun blinked his eyes.
Zhao Jun didn't say anything, Tang Daquan continued: "When the time comes, we can also give out some bonuses and certificates, and these people will sign up quickly, right? I heard that there are 200 to 300 people in Yongxing Spring Hunting, and we don't have that many people here, so we have to have at least 100 or 800 people."
"Uncle Tang, you..." Zhao Jun thought about it, but didn't say it directly. He just asked tentatively: "Have you told our team about this idea?"
"No." Tang Daquan said calmly: "I'll think about it first. If it's feasible, I'll tell Secretary Zhou."
Hearing what Tang Daquan said, Zhao Jun nodded slightly, but he wanted to complain in his heart.
Spring hunting is a good thing. There are many livestock in the mountains these days. When autumn comes, they come down from the mountains and damage the crops. Some even attack farmers.
Since it is a good thing, why didn't Yongan Forest Farm organize it? There must be a reason.
But Zhao Jun may have forgotten that when he hunted the Pig God in early spring this year, he slaughtered the wild boar gang under the Pig God.
Dozens of wild boars were sold to Zhao Guofeng. Zhao Guofeng not only made a lot of political achievements with the wild boars, but also made a lot of money.
Because of this, Tang Daquan had a different idea. In his opinion, if he could take the lead in organizing the spring hunt, the people in the surrounding villages would all remember his kindness.
But Tang Daquan was not stupid. He knew that if he wanted to organize such an event, he had to first consider feasibility. It would be best if he could make a plan himself and figure out the possible problems and solutions. In this way, he would report it to the venue and not only would they approve it, but they might even let Tang Daquan be the general commander.
Tang Daquan had a good idea, but Zhao Jun couldn't help but pour cold water on him, saying, "Uncle Tang, the weapons in our hands are not as powerful as those of the Yongxing Brigade, not to mention those hooligans. This...if we can't handle it well, what are we going to do with one or two people left on the mountain?"
After Zhao Jun said this, Tang Daquan remained silent.
Seeing this, Zhao Jun hurriedly said, "Uncle Tang, I just said this. If what I said is not right, please don't be angry."
"If I'm not angry, then why should I be angry?" Tang Daquan shook his head and said, "I have to thank you, Master. I really need to think about this matter."
Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this, picked up the cup and drank some water. After putting down the cup, Zhao Jun said goodbye to Tang Daquan and ran away quickly with Li Baoyu and Jie Chen.
After the winter solstice, the days get longer each day, but the days in the forest are still shorter than outside.
It was about three forty when Zhao Jun came out of Tang Daquan's house, and it was already dark.
But after getting in the car, Li Baoyu, who was driving, asked Zhao Jun, "Brother, let's go home?"
"No, no." Zhao Jun raised his hand and pointed forward, saying, "Walk around the village, look for the Third Uncle."
No one knew where the old man had gone, but Zhao Jun wanted to look for Xing San in the village.
Li Baoyu agreed and the car drove around the village.
……
"Damn it!" Xing San was standing at a fork in the road, looking around and saying, "Which way should I go?"
There are four family quarters in the forest area, Yongan and Yongsheng are in the same direction, and Yongli and Yongfu are in the same direction.
There were two roads in front of Xing San, one leading to Yong'an and the other leading to Yongsheng.
He came out of Yonglitun and was heading for Zhao Jun's home.
But if he came down from the mountain, Xing San could find it anywhere. But coming from Yongli, there were two roads in front of him, and Xing San couldn't find it.
Just then, two people came on the road on the left.
A man and a woman, the man is a young man, the woman is a middle-aged woman. They are dressed in ordinary peasant clothes, big cotton trousers, big cotton trousers, dog fur hats, and big cotton shoes.
However, the man had a unique way of walking. His legs were not bow-legged, but when he walked, his legs stretched outward like a big duck.
"Hi!" Xing San raised his head, tilted his chin forward, and asked, "Which way is Yong'an going?"
The people here just don't like to talk, and their tone is harsh. But this is how it has been for generations, and the locals are used to it.
Zhang Laibao turned around, pointed to the way he had come, and said with a smile, "Master, go that way."
Hearing this, Xing San nodded to Zhang Laibao and said, "Thanks, man!"
Zhang Laibao smiled and nodded repeatedly. Looking at Xing San's departing back, the smile on his face gradually turned into a sneer.
"Let's go, eldest son." Xu Meihua called Zhang Laibao and said, "Let's go home."
Zhang Laibao said "hmm" and followed Xu Meihua to the right.
"Son, how is that girl today?" Xu Meihua asked Zhang Laibao as they walked.
"I think it's good." Zhang Laibao smiled and said, "The gift is not much."
"Yeah!" Xu Meihua nodded and was about to say something when she was interrupted by Zhang Laibao.
"Oh my!" Zhang Laibao cried out, "Mom, was the clothes that Lao Deng wore just now made by Wang Meilan and the others?"
Today, when Wang Meilan and her colleagues were making cotton-padded jackets, they deliberately made some of them with stand-up collars to prevent wind from entering the jackets.
This kind of cotton-padded jacket is unique in Yong'an, and it is newly made. You can tell at a glance that it was produced by Wang Meilan and her group.
"Oh, that's not good!" Xu Meihua widened her eyes and asked, "Could it be a relative of Old Zhao's?"
"If so, isn't that even better?" Zhang Laibao smiled evilly. He pointed Xing San in the direction of Yongshengtun. The mother and daughter had gone to Yongshengtun to meet someone at noon and had just returned from there.
"Won't we run into Ergudong?" Xu Meihua pulled Zhang Laibao and said, "Let's go quickly, or they'll chase us away."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Laibao hurriedly ran away after Xu Meihua.
Xing San walked all the way to Yongshengtun. After walking for about a mile, the sky was gray and it was almost dark.
The old man lived in the mountains all year round, and he didn't have much good food to eat, but he ate a lot of roe deer entrails. So Xing San had good eyesight.
At this time, Xing San vaguely saw someone walking towards him, and the two were about forty or fifty meters apart.
Suddenly, two black shadows jumped out from behind the tree nearby. The black shadows grabbed the man's sack and pulled it down. As they got closer, there were ghostly howlings.
Xing Sanhua frowned and thought, "Did we run into a robber?"
Thinking of this, Xing San was about to turn around and leave.
The old man is not afraid of trouble, but he is unwilling to wade into this muddy water.
But at this moment, another person jumped out from the woods not far away. He glanced at Xing San and shouted at the top of his voice, "There's someone here!"
"Woman?" Xing San was stunned, thinking, are women robbing people these days?
But when the woman screamed, the two attackers kicked the man in the sack twice, and then ran towards Xing San.
Seeing the two men holding sticks, Xing San's eyes instantly became fierce. He immediately drew a knife from his waist and squeezed out three words between his lips and teeth: "Fuck you!"
"Ah..." Seeing Xing San taking out a knife, the woman screamed at the top of her lungs. When the two men heard the woman's scream, they quickened their pace and ran over here.
The two men walked past the woman without stopping, but when they saw Xing San holding a knife, they both stopped in their tracks.
"Ah?" Xing San was stunned, frowned, and squinted his eyes, trying to see the appearance of one of them clearly.
"Brother!" Zhao Youcai pushed Li Dayong next to him, threw the stick in his hand away, and walked towards Xing San, saying, "Don't do it!"
"Ah!" At this time, Xing San recognized Zhao Youcai, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard Zhao Youcai said in a hoarse voice: "Brother, don't talk!"
Xing San thought of the scene he had just seen, and knew that Zhao Youcai was out to do something dirty, so he put away the knife without saying a word.
Seeing this, Li Dayong clamped the stick under his armpits and followed Zhao Youcai closely.
Seeing that they knew each other, the woman trotted over.
"Let's go, brother!" As soon as Zhao Youcai came over, he pulled Xing San into the woods next to them.
The grove was not as clean as the road, and the snow in the grove was quite deep.
Xing San asked Zhao Youcai, "Brother, why are we hiding? We've just beaten him up, what else can we do?"
"Brother, stop making noise." Zhao Youcai whispered to Xing San, "That's a relative of my wife's. He came to bully my dog this morning. I had no choice but to use a large sack to trap him..."
"Xiong Zhaojun's dog?" Zhao Youcai's words changed in Xing San's ears. Xing San's eyes narrowed and he immediately took out a knife from his waist and said, "Then why don't we kill him?"
"No, no!" Zhao Youcai hurriedly grabbed Xing San, and Li Dayong also stopped him at the side.
The three of them walked quickly in the woods, and the woman's voice came from behind: "Second brother! Second brother!"
Zhao Youcai paused, turned around and said, "Go home."
At this time, Xing San also stopped, turned his head to look at the woman, and then asked Zhao Youcai: "Is that your sister-in-law?"
"What sister-in-law?" Zhao Youcai was startled, his voice changed, and he waved his hands quickly and said, "That's me..."
Halfway through his words, Zhao Youcai didn't know how to explain.
The woman ran to Zhao Youcai, glanced at Xing San next to him, and then said to Zhao Youcai: "Second brother, don't forget what you promised me."
"No?" Zhao Youcai was a little confused, and hurriedly asked: "What the hell, I promised you?"
"Give me two roe deer thighs!" the woman said, "What do you think I'm telling you?"
"Ah, ah!" Zhao Youcai said, "I know. Wait for me to go to work. I'll give those thighs to your sister and ask her to bring them back to you."
This woman's name is Cui Yulan, and the sister Zhao Youcai mentioned is Cui Yuying, the kitchen worker.
Cui Yulan was a widow. Cui Yuying had previously asked Zhao Youcai to help Cui Yulan find a new partner.
This is very common, but the premise is that Wang Meilan has to be in good health. Because in Zhao Jun's previous life, Cui Yulan directly became Zhao Youcai's second wife.
Logically speaking, Zhao Youcai shouldn't have any contact with Cui Yulan now. But this afternoon, Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong followed Wang Dalong out of the village and followed him all the way to Yongsheng.
When the two were sneaking around, they ran into sisters Cui Yuying and Cui Yulan.
Cui Yuying asked Zhao Youcai why he came. Zhao Youcai did not mention the dog, but said that he came to catch Wang Dalong in the act.
Cui Yuying and Cui Yulan are not fools. Even if Zhao Youcai is their uncle, you can't control this, right? The key is that you are not a relative.
Zhao Youcai had no choice but to tell Cui Yuying about his grudge with Wang Dalong, as Cui Yuying was very tight-lipped.
As soon as Cui Yuying heard this, she asked for hush money, but the other party didn't want money, he just wanted wild boar meat.
This was nothing to Zhao Youcai, who agreed immediately. Then Cui Yulan told Zhao Youcai that Wang Dalong was having an affair with Liu Hongyan from Yongsheng Village, and that Liu Hongyan's home was in the west yard of her house.
In this way, Cui Yulan ran back to the village to keep watch for Zhao Youcai. As a reward, Zhao Youcai gave her two roe deer thighs.
What Zhao Youcai meant was that the day after tomorrow when he went to work, he would bring the roe deer thigh to Cui Yuying at the office, and then ask Cui Yuying to bring it back to Cui Yulan.
"No, second brother!" Cui Yulan disagreed and said, "If you give it to my sister, she will have to keep one for herself. You should give them all to me."
"Then how can I give it to you?" Zhao Youcai frowned and asked. At this time, Cui Yulan said, "Second brother, I will go with you."
"Will you come with me?" Cui Yulan's words scared Zhao Youcai.
This chapter makes up for yesterday's. I still have half a chapter left to finish for today's update. I'll post it around one o'clock. Brother, if you're sleepy, go to bed first.
