Chapter 1325: The ups and downs of wealth, the domineering declaration of Zhao Jun on Lingnan Road
This was the second round of drinking at the Zhao family tonight, and the men drank until around nine o'clock before leaving.
At the dinner table, Xie Zhong, feeling happy, kept raising his glass and drinking.
Drinking is all about creating an atmosphere. Everyone was happy today and got drunk in the end.
Li Dayong returned to the next room, leaning against the kang cabinet with drunken eyes, and shouted again and again: "Son! Son!"
"Which son are you calling?" Jin Xiaomei, who was warming herself in the quilt, said, "Ruhai and Dazhi went to the toilet."
"Ah..." Hearing this, Li Dayong changed his words and shouted, "Baoyu, Baoyu! Li Baoyu!"
"What are you doing, Dad?" Li Baoyu, who was lying on the kang in the west room, responded, and then Li Dayong shouted, "Come here!"
"What are you doing?" Jin Xiaomei freed her hands and confronted Li Dayong, saying, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. Baoyu has been tired all day."
Li Dayong waved his arm, swept Jin Xiaomei's hand aside, then frowned and squinted his eyes, glanced at Jin Xiaomei, and shouted: "Don't worry about it!"
"I..." Jin Xiaomei rarely said anything, because she knew Li Dayong was drunk. People who are drunk have no reason, if he really slaps her twice, Jin Xiaomei will be wronged.
"Dad, what's going on?" Li Baoyu appeared at the door, holding the door frame.
"Come here, eldest son!" Li Dayong stretched out his hand and called Li Baoyu to his side.
Fathers of this generation are more reserved in expressing their emotions. Even if they have something on their mind, they won’t say it out loud.
But it was different when he was drunk. Li Dayong patted Li Baoyu's hand and said, "My eldest son, even if we separate, you are still my good eldest son!"
"Of course you have to!" Li Baoyu was also drunk. He slapped Li Dayong's hand with his big slap, and the back of Li Dayong's hand turned red instantly.
Li Dayong was drunk and didn't feel much pain. The father and son continued to pat each other's hands. Then Li Dayong said, "Son, do you know what the top problem in our family is right now?"
Hearing what Li Dayong said, Jin Xiaomei thought that this old man had some serious business. The top priority for their family now was to buy a gift for the Zhao family, and Jin Xiaomei thought that Li Dayong wanted to discuss this.
"I don't know." Li Baoyu answered in a muffled voice. Li Dayong said, "We have to hurry up and give your uncle a nickname."
Jin Xiaomei: "..."
It must be said that Li Dayong is really loyal to Zhao Youcai. Even after drinking so much, he still hasn't forgotten about his elder brother.
"What nickname are you thinking of?" Li Baoyu raised his head and touched his dizzy head, saying, "Doesn't my uncle have a nickname?"
"That's not good." Li Dayong used the word "all" and then said, "Think of something cool and loud, something related to tigers."
"Something about tigers?" Li Baoyu was drunk and the information in his head was not connected. He was unable to respond to Li Dayong's request.
"It's useless to do nothing all day!" Jin Xiaomei couldn't help but complain. Seeing Li Dayong looking at her, Jin Xiaomei threw Li Dayong's pillow to the edge of the kang and asked, "It's also related to tigers. Has his uncle ever beaten a tiger? Or caught a tiger?"
"Don't give a damn!" Li Dayong glared at Jin Xiaomei and said, "What do you know? My elder brother is going...going..."
Li Dayong was halfway through his words when he suddenly got stuck. Before sending Zhao Youcai off, Li Dayong once said, "Brother, the sky is high and the birds fly freely, the sea is wide and the fish leap freely."
He still wanted to say this, but because he was drunk, Li Dayong's mind went blank after he said the two words "here and there".
He knew he was going to recite a poem next, but he just couldn't remember what poem it was.
"What are you going to do?" Jin Xiaomei asked with a smile. Li Dayong blinked twice in confusion, then reached out and patted Li Baoyu, asking, "What's the last word?"
"How should I know?" Li Baoyu was in a daze and couldn't remember it. At this moment, Li Ruhai, who had gone to the toilet, came back first.
Hearing the bustle in the east room, Li Ruhai came in to join in the fun and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Your father can't say anything more." Jin Xiaomei pointed at Li Ruhai, then pointed at Li Dayong and said, "Old son, teach your father what to do after this trip."
"Is this the end of this trip?" Li Ruhai rolled his eyes, waved his hand forward, and said with a smile: "I will go to Quantai to recruit old subordinates, with a flag of 100,000, to kill Yama Luo."
Li Dayong and Li Baoyu were stunned. They were too drunk to react. Jin Xiaomei was not well educated and did not understand the meaning and background of this poem. She laughed and pointed at Li Ruhai and said to Li Dayong: "Look, you are not as good as my old son, right?"
……
Two jeeps were parked, one in front and one behind, outside the Yongxing Brigade Guesthouse.
This way... Zhao Youcai from Yongxing got out of Chu Anmin's car carrying a semi-automatic rifle, while Tao Dabao and Li Laowu got out of the video crew's car at the back.
Chu Anmin and others also got off the car, and after saying goodbye solemnly to Zhao Youcai, Tao Dabao and Li Laowu, they got back into the car and left.
After watching the two jeeps disappear around the corner, Tao Dabao turned to Zhao Youcai and said, "Second brother, if it were you, I'd say you should just come to my house."
According to Tao Dabao's plan, Zhao Youcai must live in his own home when he comes to Yongxing Brigade, because when Tao Dabao arrived in Yongan, he was warmly received by the people there.
Li Laowu also invited Zhao Youcai to his house, but Zhao Youcai rejected them all.
Because Zhao Youcai had a special purpose for this trip, it would be difficult for him to escape no matter where he stayed.
In this way, under Zhao Youcai's repeated insistence, he finally moved into the guesthouse.
Seeing Zhao Youcai coming, Li Wencai was so happy that he took out the Yingchun cigarette that Zhao Jun had given him last time and stuffed it into Zhao Youcai's hand.
Seeing that the two of them were getting along well, Tao Dabao sighed and said to Zhao Youcai, "Second brother, come to my house for dinner tomorrow morning. I'll ask my dad about lunch and dinner, and then we'll see how to arrange it."
"This..." Zhao Youcai was anxious, but he knew that he could not avoid this meal.
If I didn't eat the meal and just ran away, Tao Dabao would definitely call Yong'an.
So Zhao Youcai thought, if he couldn’t leave tomorrow, he would get up early the day after tomorrow.
After Tao Dabao finished speaking to Zhao Youcai, he said to Li Wencai and Li Laowu, "Uncle Li, Laowu, you all come tomorrow, and we can all have fun together."
"Okay, Brother Tao." Li Laowu said, "Your family will make the arrangements tomorrow, and I'll make the arrangements the day after tomorrow."
After saying this, Li Laowu reached out and patted Zhao Youcai on the arm, saying, "Second brother, my father has some good wine. I'll ask him to take it out and we'll give it to him."
"No..." Zhao Youcai became even more anxious. I eat at your house today and at his house tomorrow. When can I leave?
"Hey, Youcai." At this time, Li Wencai pushed Zhao Youcai, then pointed at Li Laowu and said, "His father is the master chef of our brigade's winery. The old man has a lot of good wine, and he puts them in jars and hides them in his cellar. No one is allowed to drink."
"Haha..." Li Laowu smiled when he heard that and said, "I'll go back later and tell my dad that my second brother is here and we must bring out all the good wine."
"Haha." Zhao Youcai laughed dryly. Just as he was about to say something politely declining, he heard Li Laowu say to Li Wencai, "Uncle Li, you can come too when the time comes."
It is better to leave behind a village than to leave behind a single person.
Everyone was talking here, and Li Wencai was listening on the side. It would be bad to not bring Li Wencai along for the meal since three of them were having the meal together.
What's more, Li Wencai has a good relationship with the old men of both families.
"Okay!" Li Wencai was not polite, but the old man was not the kind of person who would drink other people's wine or eat other people's food for free.
Thinking of how good Zhao Jun was to him, and how his nephew had cheated Zhao Youcai, Li Wencai gritted his teeth, slapped his hand on his thigh, and said, "Then I'll treat you the day after tomorrow."
"Ah?" Zhao Youcai was stunned, and then he saw Li Wencai waving his hand at Tao Dabao and saying, "Dabao, I will pay for a pig from our brigade, and then I will kill the pig and treat you all the way the day after tomorrow. You all can come then."
"No, Uncle Li, you old..." Tao Dabao wanted to persuade Old Li not to be so temperamental, but Li Wencai said, "It's okay, it's okay, I still have some money in my hand, you can just come over there."
Zhao Youcai was extremely anxious. The three of them took turns to invite him for three days, but the big claw had already run away.
……
Yong'an Tun, Zhao family.
Zhao Jun was sitting on the edge of the kang washing his feet when he suddenly heard Wang Meilan say outside the door, "Son."
"Hey, Mom." Zhao Jun said hurriedly, "What's going on? Come in."
Wang Meilan pushed the door open and asked Zhao Jun, "Can we have some leftovers tomorrow morning?"
We have been entertaining guests at home these two days, especially yesterday when we set up such a large table, there were a lot of meat and vegetables left over.
Just now Wang Meilan distributed the leftovers to several families and kept some for herself.
"Okay, Mom." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "I can eat anything."
After saying this, Zhao Jun paused for a moment and then said, "Mom, I have to go to work tomorrow morning."
"Ah?" Wang Meilan was stunned when she heard this. She was used to her son not going to work. But now that he suddenly went to work, Wang Meilan was not used to it.
Seeing that his mother didn't react, Zhao Jun smiled and said, "I will go to the site for a walk tomorrow, and then I have to go to the third work section."
"Ah... then mom knows. Mom heard you say that." Wang Meilan was talking when she suddenly remembered something and asked Zhao Jun, "Then your uncle and Xiaochen have to go too, right?"
"It's better to go." Zhao Jun said, "Anyway, Xiaochen and I will be together, and they will leave the day after tomorrow."
"Did you tell them?" Wang Meilan asked. Zhao Jun smiled and said, "I forgot. It's okay. I'll go out and tell them tomorrow morning."
"Then can I go the day after tomorrow?" Wang Meilan asked again. Zhao Jun nodded and said, "That won't affect us. We'll go to the construction site for the first time tomorrow and get to know the people there. Then the day after tomorrow..."
When he said this, Zhao Jun smiled, and then continued: "We will do it as usual the day after tomorrow."
"Ah..." Wang Meilan nodded and said, "Don't have to go to work again?"
"Of course!" Zhao Jun laughed, "Walk around in the woods every day. If you see any livestock that might disrupt winter production, just shoot it to death."
"Ah!" After hearing her son's high-sounding words, Wang Meilan nodded twice and asked Zhao Jun with a smile: "It's just hunting?"
"Oh my!" Zhao Jun laughed and said, "Mom, you can't say that. We call this forest protection."
"Yes, yes, that's right." Wang Meilan smiled and said, "My son is really good at talking. Let's see which wild animal is destroying the winter transportation production. There are only a few wild animals like that in a year."
"Look... Mom." Zhao Jun also joked with Wang Meilan, saying, "The roe deer gnawed the tree branches, the big guys plucked the bark of the poplars, and the wild boars used their shoulders to rub the red pines until the bark was bald. Aren't these all destroying forest resources?"
"Haha..." Wang Meilan laughed and said, "Okay, my son is really amazing. It's like what you said, jumping cats and chewing locust tree bark!"
"Yeah!" Zhao Jun laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if I can't see them. If I have to watch them, I will punish them to death!"
"Haha..." Wang Meilan laughed at her son's amusement. Later, she said to Zhao Jun, "Son, didn't your dad tell you? Go to the third section and find Chen Liangyou. He's his sworn brother."
"Yes, Mom, I know." Zhao Jun said, "Before my sister left, Uncle Chen came. I know him."
No matter what the couple is like in normal times, as long as Zhao Youcai is not at home, Wang Meilan feels uneasy and wants to complain to Zhao Youcai.
Wang Meilan couldn't talk to the two kids, she could only talk to Zhao Jun. But Zhao Jun didn't talk to his dad as soon as Wang Meilan mentioned it.
Wang Meilan had no choice but to continue. She said, "Your dad only gets to show off for a day. I told him not to go, but he insisted on going. Why is it so good to go to someone else's place? If you go, you'll just cause trouble for them."
"It's okay, Mom." Zhao Jun wiped his feet with a towel and said, "Before my dad left, I gave him money and asked him to go there to buy some things for my Master Tao and Master Li."
"He has money, so he doesn't want to buy anything." Wang Meilan said, "I gave him the money that time, but he didn't spend it. He went hunting there, killing roe deer and wild boar and gave them meat."
The corner of Zhao Jun's mouth twitched. This was indeed something his father would do.
Zhao Jun sighed and said, "So when he goes back, he will go hunting again to give them meat?"
Wang Meilan also said helplessly: "No one needs his meat. Before leaving last night, I said I would give your Uncle Tao and Uncle Li the wild boar, but they said they didn't want any."
"It's okay, Mom, don't worry about it." Zhao Jun said, "Wait a day, I'll go over when I have time, and I'll buy something for them."
"Son, that's not the matter." Wang Meilan shook her head and said, "Look, when they left today, Director Chu took a wild boar, and the TV station took a wild boar, but your Uncle Tao and Uncle Li left empty-handed. Mom feels uncomfortable."
"Yeah." Zhao Jun frowned when Wang Meilan said that. Zhao Youcai followed her without giving her anything.
"Son, you don't have to worry about this." Wang Meilan waved her hand and said, "Mom has thought about it. We still have more than 20 kilograms of donkey meat and more than 30 kilograms of beef outside our house. I will distribute them tomorrow. When I leave with your mother the day after tomorrow, I will ask me to go around and give some donkey meat and beef to the families in Yongxing."
"Well, that's fine." Zhao Jun agreed with Wang Meilan's idea. His Yongxing Brigade had no shortage of wild animals or poultry and livestock.
But how many cows and donkeys can they die in a year? They still don't have beef or donkey meat.
Seeing that her son agreed, Wang Meilan went back to the east room to sleep.
The next day, Zhao Jun got up at around five o'clock.
Just after seven o'clock after dinner, Zhao Jun hurried out of the house to inform Wang Qiang and Jie Chen to go to work today.
When he was almost at Wang Qiang's house, Zhao Jun saw a man. Zhao Jun smiled, waved his arms twice, and then ran over.
"Ling'er." Zhao Jun ran to Ma Ling and asked, "Are you going to exchange for tofu?"
"Yeah." Ma Ling curled her lips slightly and said, "My little brother got up and clamored for tofu soup."
"Ah? What time is it?" Zhao Jun asked, "Didn't he have dinner with you?"
"No, he just got up a while ago." At this point, Ma Ling smiled. She glanced at Zhao Jun and said, "He had a headache yesterday and didn't sleep for half the night. He got up late this morning."
"You have a cold?" Zhao Jun asked with concern, "Did you catch a cold running outside?"
"No." Ma Ling smiled and said, "I pulled it out while eating ice cream."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was startled. After listening to Ma Ling's explanation, Zhao Jun said with a wry smile, "I bought him six and wanted him to take them back so that you guys could eat them."
Regarding what happened yesterday, no one in the Ma family blamed Zhao Jun. They all blamed Ma Yang for being useless.
Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Ma Ling laughed and said, "He said he was afraid that my dad and mom would scold him."
"Haha." Zhao Jun also laughed, and said, "In the end, he will be wiped out?"
"Ha ha……"
The young couple was talking and laughing, and Zhao Jun inadvertently glanced to the west.
He was startled and turned to look at the road to the west, only to see a large number of people coming over there.
