Chapter 1337 A Ride is Coming
After leaving Xishan Village, Zhao Jun rode his motorcycle and rushed home quickly. It was not advisable to stay in this village for a long time, otherwise it would easily corrupt oneself.
After returning to Yong'antun, Zhao Jun rode his motorcycle home. Just as he turned a corner and was about to reach home, he heard the barking of a dog.
"Huh?" Zhao Jun saw someone pacing in front of the east tent outside his yard. Judging from the figure, it should be Wang Meilan.
"Mom!" Zhao Jun stopped the car in front of Wang Meilan and asked, "What are you doing outside in this cold weather?"
"Son!" Wang Meilan stepped in front of Zhao Jun and grabbed his arm.
Zhao Jun was startled, and then he saw Wang Meilan glance around, then lowered her voice and said to him: "Son, there is news from our baby!"
"Ah? Any new news?" Zhao Jun was a little surprised. He had just left for such a short while, and there was new news.
"Weren't you there when your uncle was talking?" Wang Meilan said excitedly, "All the good things in our house are not lost!"
The corner of Zhao Jun's mouth twitched. His mother was just starting to get excited because of the backlash.
Wang Meilan seemed not as steady as Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang, but among the three, she was the only one who had seen those things, and those things carried some good memories for her.
"Son, what are you going to do?" Normally, Wang Meilan is not a person who likes to procrastinate, but she might be too excited at this moment.
"Mom, mom." Zhao Jun hurriedly comforted Wang Meilan and said, "Haven't we talked about it? When my dad comes back, let's ask him if my great-grandmother left any words before she passed away."
"It seems quite bad." Wang Meilan shook her head and said, "What does your grandma want to say to him? He can tell me."
"That's right." Zhao Jun thought that Zhao Youcai probably didn't know, because Zhao Youcai never mentioned it in his previous life, nor did he make a fortune.
"What a wicked man!" Wang Meilan cursed Zhao Youcai from a distance, saying, "He ran out to show off again. When will he be able to come back?"
"Mom, how about I go to the military headquarters and make a phone call to summon him back?" Zhao Jun was also afraid that Wang Meilan would be too anxious and it would not be worth it for her to get angry about this matter again.
"Forget it." Wang Meilan thought about it, and finally shook her head and said, "If you continue to make fun of me, people will tell you that Zhao Youcai will be back after two days of being out."
Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this, patted the roe deer on the butt, and said to Wang Meilan, "Mom, don't think about it anymore, let's get rid of this roe deer quickly."
Zhao Jun wanted to find something for Wang Meilan to do to distract her attention.
Wang Meilan glanced at the roe deer. When the roe deer's eyes met Wang Meilan's, the roe deer's ears, which could rotate 360 degrees, all turned back.
This is equivalent to a cat's airplane ears, and is a sign of being frightened.
"Son!" Wang Meilan waved to Zhao Jun, then pointed at the roe deer and said, "Hang it in the backyard."
"Hey!" Zhao Jun pushed the motorcycle into the yard and went directly to the backyard to untie the roe deer.
Wang Meilan helped Zhao Jun hang the roe deer upside down, then waved at Zhao Jun and said, "Son, you are not needed here anymore. Go back to the house. When you are done, ask your aunt and uncle to get the basin and the skinning knife."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was startled. He had never seen Wang Meilan kill a roe deer before. He pointed at the roe deer and said to Wang Meilan, "Mom, let me kill this roe deer for you."
"No need for you." Wang Meilan reached out and pulled Zhao Jun, pointed to the front of the house, and said, "Go back to the room and chat with your uncle."
"Ah..." Zhao Jun thought that Wang Meilan had the help of Jin Xiaomei and Zhao Ling, so killing a roe deer should not be a problem.
But when he took a few steps and looked back, Wang Meilan was no longer next to the hanging roe deer.
When Zhao Jun arrived at the front of the house and reached out to pull the door, he happened to meet Jin Xiaomei, Zhao Ling, and Xu Chunyan coming out of the house carrying basins and knives.
"Jun, please come in." Jin Xiaomei said something to Zhao Jun and left with Zhao Ling and Xu Chunyan.
In the west room, Wang Qiang and Xing San were smoking, drinking tea and eating melon seeds on the kang.
Seeing Zhao Jun coming in, Xing San said to him, "Boy, what is your mother busy doing outside? Tell her to just make dumplings and not do anything else."
"She's not busy." Zhao Jun saw that there was no one else in the room. In the east room was an old lady with a group of children, so he smiled and said to Xing San, "My mother is a little worried about the babies."
"Ah?" Xing San was stunned, then he looked at Wang Qiang and they smiled at each other.
"Uh! Ah..." Suddenly a donkey's bray came from behind the house. The donkey seemed to be frightened. Xing San subconsciously wanted to get up and said to Zhao Jun, "Where's your donkey's hair?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Wang Qiang, who had seen his sister committing the crime, reached out to stop Xing San and said, "Brother, don't worry about it. Here, I'll give you this cigarette. Don't always smoke that tobacco leaf."
As he spoke, Wang Qiang took out a stone and stuffed it into Xing San's pocket.
"I've smoked this cigarette before." Xing San took the cigarette, pinched it in his hand and said, "Before we went looking for something, Zhao Jun's father gave me this cigarette."
"Just smoke it." Wang Qiang struck a match, handed it to Xing San and lit the cigarette for him.
At this time, Zhao Jun sat down next to Xing San and said, "Uncle San, have you been busy these past two days?"
"I'm not busy, but they are." Xing San said, "Those people are rushing to complete their tasks, working from dawn to dusk."
"You don't have anything to do, just stay here for a few more days." Zhao Jun said, "We are catching the hanging sheep these two days, you can still help me."
"Hanging sheep?" Xing San raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said, "Boy, that thing is not easy to deal with."
"It's okay, I have a plan." Zhao Jun finished speaking, and then he heard Wang Qiang say, "Nephew, why don't you go to the blacksmith's furnace and ask them to make clamps for you?"
"After lunch, I'll ask the two old men to help me with the work." Zhao Jun said with a smile, "Tomorrow we'll go up the mountain to find the tracks first. Once we figure it out, we'll go up with the traps and catch the feet the day after tomorrow."
"It's easy to follow that thing, but hard to catch it." Xing San suddenly interrupted, saying, "Whether it's putting food or doing something else, it's usually not far from the tree where it hangs its food. We just need to find the tree where it hangs its food."
Hearing what Xing San said, Zhao Jun blinked his eyes. He remembered seeing the tree where the sheep were hanging their horns when he was hunting the bear king last year.
He thought to himself that the direction provided by Zhao Youcai seemed to be not far from the two places where the traces of the hanging sheep were found last year.
Wang Qiang knew that this old man Xing San was one of his own, so he didn't hide the news and said, "Brother, my brother-in-law called me yesterday from Yongxing and said that the three people above were hanging sheep."
"Really?" Xing San's eyes lit up and he said, "It would be great if we could catch them all. Sheep blood is a good thing."
"Uncle, have you ever drunk it?" Zhao Jun asked Xing San casually. He was just chatting with the old man, but Xing San looked at Zhao Jun straight for two seconds before saying, "I drank it once, at your grandmother's house."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang were both startled. Xing San raised his chin and pointed at Wang Qiang, saying, "You weren't here before. I was carrying chores for your family."
At this point, Xing San sighed and said, "At that time, I didn't know what your father was doing. The big sack was really heavy, it must have weighed more than 200 kilograms."
For the porters, 200 pounds is nothing. But Zhao Jun felt something was wrong. Since they needed a special person to carry the load, it meant that it was not just one sack, but many.
So the question is, what did my grandfather do back then? The mountain products at that time were not valuable. If he was doing food, Xing San would not say that.
Suddenly, Xing San pushed Zhao Jun and said, "My second brother and the big guy's grandfather were there at the time."
"Huh?" Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the big guy Xing San was talking about was not a deer, but Li Baoyu.
At this time, Xing San said again: "Wang Daba Zhang is kind and righteous. He takes care of our meals at noon. He makes a lot of rice and tofu."
No matter who mentioned Wang Daba Zhang, they all said that he was a generous and righteous man. Zhao Jun had never seen the old man, but just by looking at his mother's style, he could imagine what kind of person the old man was.
"At that time, we worked for him and he gave us food." Xing San tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Food, we were given two taels of millet for carrying five carts, so we worked very hard.
I remember it was early spring, early May, and the bean sprouts had just grown this tall.”
Xing San said, using one hand to indicate a length of about a foot, and continued, "I was the first one to go there that day. I started carrying the load at about six o'clock. I carried it until noon when I had a bite to eat, and then I continued carrying it until about two o'clock in the afternoon. I was so tired that the guy vomited blood."
"Oh my god." Wang Qiang frowned and said, "Brother, you are risking your life."
"My family is in financial difficulty." Xing San said, "My child is still sick, so I'll just do whatever work I can get. I'm still vomiting blood, so I'll just keep doing it.
Later, your father stopped me from doing that. He took me to your room and poured me a small cup of wine. I was so tired that my chest hurt, but after drinking that cup of wine, I felt better. "
"Xuan Yang Liquor?" Zhao Jun asked. Xing San nodded and said, "Yes, then he didn't let me do it anymore and sent me home to take care of it for a few days."
As Xing San finished speaking, there was a noise from the outer room, and Jin Xiaomei and Xu Chunyan came in, each holding half a roe deer.
Half of the roe deer was thrown on the stove, and the other half was thrown on the side.
At this time, Wang Meilan came in with Zhao Ling. Zhao Ling went to help Jin Xiaomei cut the meat, and Wang Meilan went into the west room and said to Xing San, "Brother, it's too late for lunch, I'll cook you a few dishes to make you eat, and then we'll make dumplings tonight."
"Oh!" Xing San waved his hand and said, "Don't bother too much. I have a stutterer."
"That won't do." Wang Meilan said with a smile: "Brother, you are a distinguished guest, we must treat you well."
At this point, Wang Meilan gestured to Zhao Jun and said, "Son, think about it and make a bottle of Xifeng for your uncle."
The Zhao family had a lot of cigarettes and alcohol, so they were afraid that the children would bump into the bottles of wine in the house, so they put them on the shelves in the warehouse.
Strong liquor is not frozen no matter how cold it is, but cold liquor is not spicy and is much easier to drink. In addition, drinking cold liquor is not comfortable, so Wang Meilan asked Zhao Jun to bring the liquor back and heat it up.
Zhao Jun said, and got up to go out to get some wine. Xing San said to Wang Qiang with emotion: "In my lifetime, I will only be a guest here."
Wang Qiang smiled when he heard this, took the kettle and refilled Xing San's teacup with hot water.
Wang Meilan said she would have a simple lunch, but she still prepared six dishes. Although there were no big dishes, there were both meat and vegetables.
When Wang Qiang and Xing San were drinking and Zhao Jun was accompanying them, a Liberation truck stopped at the Yongxing Brigade Guesthouse.
"Mom, please sit in the car." Xie Chen said as he was about to get out of the car, but Xie Sun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, pushed the door open and said, "Why should I sit? Isn't your uncle Wang here? I'll go down and see him."
The Uncle Wang that Xie Sun mentioned was Zhao Youcai. After hearing her say that, Xie Chen did not dare to stop her.
As soon as the mother and daughter got out of the car, they saw the door of the guesthouse open and Li Wencai came out.
"Hmm?" The person facing this side was the co-pilot, and the first person Li Wencai saw was the wealthy old lady Xie Sun.
Xie Sun perfectly illustrated what it meant to return home in glory. She wore a newly made cotton-padded jacket on her upper body, newly made washed cloth trousers on her lower body, and new cotton shoes on her feet.
In addition, she got up early today to boil water and washed her hair with shampoo. After her hair was dry, she combed it neatly and put on a black hairpin.
In addition, Zhao Jun and his friends bought a variety of red moisturizing cream in the city. Xie Sun applied two layers on her face, and her old face became shiny and oily.
"Master Li!" Xie Chen came around the front of the car and ran towards Li Wencai.
"Oh, Xie Chen!" Li Wencai was surprised to see Xie Chen and asked, "Why are you here? Where is Zhao Jun?"
"My brother Jun didn't come." Xie Chen said with a smile: "He told my Aunt Zhao that he asked me to come and see you."
As he said that, Xie Chen pointed back at the trunk and said, "I'll take the things they gave you down for you."
"What did you get me?" Li Wencai asked casually, and then when he saw Jiechen running out of the yard, he followed him.
When passing by Xie Sun, Li Wencai couldn't help but look at her again.
"Hmm?" Seeing the old man stealing glances at her, Xie Sun narrowed her eyes.
"What's this?" Li Wencai had already reached the trunk of the car. Seeing Jie Chen pulling down the sack, he reached out to take it and asked, "A whole sack."
"Meat." Xie Chen said, "Master Li, please take it slowly. It's quite heavy."
Although Li Wencai is old, he still has the strength to work. After taking the sack, Li Wencai opened it and saw that it was filled with butter paper packages.
"What are these?" Li Wencai asked again. Xie Chen said, "Beef, donkey meat, and horse meat."
As he spoke, Xie Chen picked up a butter paper bag and said to Li Wencai, "The square one here is beef, the round one is donkey meat, and the long one is horse meat."
"Zhao Jun gave me all this?" Li Wencai said, "They kept the meat for themselves, why did they give me anything else?"
"My brother Jun is thinking about you." Xie Chen smiled, glanced at the yard, and asked, "Master Li, where is my uncle Zhao? Is he going up the mountain?"
"No." Li Wencai said: "The Liu family invited him to drink, so he went to the ninth team."
"Ah? Which old Liu family?" Xie Chen was curious. Zhao Youcai's connections here should all be people under the Zhao army. How come the old Liu family showed up?
"Wasn't he killed by the devils..." After Li Wencai briefly introduced the situation, Jie Chen said, "Okay, Master Li, then we won't wait for him. There are still some things in the car, send them to my Uncle Tao, Uncle Tao, Uncle Li and others."
"Okay, then you go." Li Wencai held the sack and watched Jie Chen and his mother get into the car. Then he pulled the sack into the yard.
More than 20 minutes later, Xie Chen came back. He entered the house and asked Li Wencai, "Master Li, there is no one at my fifth uncle Li's house."
"Ah... I forgot to tell you just now." Li Wencai stuffed the firewood into the stove, stood up and said, "He may have gone to help Lao Liu's family. The two families are relatives. Um... kids, you haven't eaten yet, right?"
"It's okay, we have dry food in the car." Xie Chen said, "Master Li, how about this? I'll leave the food for Uncle Li Wu with you, and you can help me give it to him later."
"Then you might as well just stay here and have a meal." Li Wencai said, "Your uncle Zhao will be back at two or three o'clock."
"Then... I don't want to wait for him anymore." Xie Chen said, "We want to go back to Lingnan."
"If you are not in a hurry, why don't you leave today?" Li Wencai said, "I will kill a pig tomorrow and you can eat the butcher's food here."
"I won't eat the pig-killing dishes..." Xie Chen was halfway through his words when he heard Li Wencai say, "Then don't be in a hurry to leave. I'll cook some noodles for you. Eat them while they're still hot before you leave."
"Well...that's fine too." Xie Chen's car had no heater and the cabin was very cold.
Seeing that Jiechen had gone out, Li Wencai glanced out through the window and then scooped water into the big pot.
Soon, Xie Sun and Xie Chen came in from outside. Xie Sun said to Li Wencai, "Brother Li, this is causing you trouble."
"No trouble, no trouble." Li Wencai smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Jie Chen, quickly go into the house with your mother and get on the kang."
After the three of them had a hearty meal of noodles in hot soup and pickled vegetables, it was already past one in the afternoon.
"Jie Chen, why don't you wait for your uncle Zhao for a while." Li Wencai kept the guest company, saying, "He will be back soon."
"Well..." Xie Chen looked at Xie Sunshi after hearing this. Xie Sunshi said, "Okay, you can wait for him for a while. I'll talk to him when he comes back. Let him go home quickly."
Xie Chen twitched the corner of his mouth and stood up to help Li Wencai pick up the bowls and put away the chopsticks.
They waited until after three in the afternoon, when Li Laowu drove the sled to bring Zhao Youcai back.
The sled was quite stable. When Zhao Youcai saw the Jiefang truck parked outside the yard, his first reaction was that he was seeing things.
After confirming that it was Xie Chen's car, Zhao Youcai's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, "Oh no, that little bastard is here to hunt!"
Just when Zhao Youcai was in a state of confusion, Li Wencai came out of the toilet. When he saw Zhao Youcai, he shouted, "Youcai, come in quickly. Xie Chen and his mother are here."
"Ah?" Zhao Youcai was startled and asked hurriedly, "Uncle Li, why are they here?"
"They said that the mother and daughter are going back to Lingnan." When Li Wencai said this, Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up.
The ride is coming!
