Chapter 1348 Wang Daba's Last Words Youcai Reveals the Treasure Location
As soon as Zhao Jun shouted "Second Uncle", the angry Zhao Youcai pressed him against a tree.
"Oh my!" Zhao Jun seemed to be frightened and quickly changed his words and shouted, "Second Uncle!"
"Fuck you!" Zhao Youcai was so angry that he cursed. He held Zhao Jun with one hand and raised his other hand to hit him.
"Dad! Dad!" A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. When Zhao Jun saw that things were not going well, he quickly admitted his mistake.
Zhao Youcai pushed Zhao Jun's hand forward, then let him go and said, "Little bastard! If you keep showing off, I'll beat you up!"
"Haha..." Zhao Jun smiled, but seeing Zhao Youcai glaring at him, he quickly stopped smiling and said, "Dad, I've been thinking about it all night, but I still can't figure it out. How come you are here?"
"I was just about to ask you something." Zhao Youcai asked Zhao Jun in a bad mood, "Why are you here? Didn't you go to pick up the sheep?"
"Why didn't I go?" Zhao Jun said, "We went there to track the animals the day before yesterday. As soon as we got home from the mountains, Fan Zhisheng called me and told me to come over no matter what."
Hearing Zhao Jun say this, Zhao Youcai rolled his eyes at him, and then he continued to listen to Zhao Jun: "Before I left home yesterday, Baoyu, my uncle, and my third uncle went up the mountain to catch feet and set traps to see if they could catch the hanging sheep."
Zhao Youcai didn't care about the sheep, but he heard some extra information from Zhao Jun's words, so he asked, "Old Xing is coming to our house again?"
"Hmm, eh?" Zhao Jun suddenly remembered something important, so he asked Zhao Youcai, "Dad, before my great-grandmother passed away, you were the only one who was with her, right?"
"Ah?" Zhao Youcai frowned and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
Zhao Jun told Zhao Youcai that Wang Dabazhang might have hidden a large amount of treasure.
But after hearing this, Zhao Youcai took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it calmly, as if nothing had happened.
"No, Dad?" Zhao Jun asked Zhao Youcai in surprise, "You don't believe it?"
"I believe it." Zhao Youcai was stunned by Zhao Jun's question and said, "Why shouldn't I believe it?"
"Then you..." Zhao Jun hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Why aren't you excited? Are you unhappy?"
"Fuck!" Zhao Youcai rolled his eyes at Zhao Jun, stiffened his neck and said, "You really underestimate your father. When has your father ever cared about money?"
Zhao Jun: "..."
Ever since Zhao Baotou nearly froze to death while sleeping in the mountains on a snowy night, he really didn’t care much about money anymore.
"Dad, the problem now is that my great-grandma hid those things without telling my mom or my uncle anything." Zhao Jun said, "I heard from my mom that before my great-grandma passed away, only you and him were at home. Did the old man say anything to you at that time?"
"What were you talking about..." Zhao Youcai held the cigarette in his hand and tilted his head to recall.
Seeing that Zhao Youcai didn't say anything, Zhao Jun reminded him, "My mother said that you should feed the old man some wine and meat."
Zhao Jun said this to let Zhao Youcai recall the past.
When Wang Daba, a wealthy businessman from Yong'an, was dying, he kept mumbling about wanting to eat watermelon, so Wang Meilan and her mother went out to the production team to buy watermelon. Zhao Youcai, who had come back from cooking for others, was left at home to accompany the old man.
Not long after the mother and daughter left, Wang Dabazhang suddenly called Zhao Youcai and said that he was dying and asked Zhao Youcai to find him some old clothes immediately.
It’s called “old clothes” here, and it actually means funeral clothes.
In those years, there were no ready-made boxes of old clothes for sale, so people would buy cloth and make them at home.
This is just like funeral supplies. The elderly can arrange it themselves without their children having to worry about it.
Zhao Youcai found the clothes and put them on the old man. It is said that the old man could still stretch his arms and legs at that time.
After helping the old man change his clothes, Zhao Youcai wanted him to wait until Wang Meilan and Wang Qiang came back, so he said, "Dad, Wang Meilan and my mom are going to buy you some watermelon, please wait a little longer."
Unexpectedly, Wang Daba said, "I want to eat meat and drink wine."
Coincidentally, that day was the day Qi Shengli, now the head of Yongshengtun, got married. Zhao Youcai came back from cooking for the Qi family and brought back half a braised pork elbow.
With Zhao Youcai's feeding, the old man sucked up two pieces of elbow skin, drank two cups of wine, then closed his eyes and left with a smile.
Regarding this matter, Wang Meilan and Wang Qiang both remembered the good things about Zhao Youcai.
"Tsk..." Zhao Youcai smacked his eyes and said, "That day when Qi Shengli got married, I went to attend the banquet. I think I drank a lot."
"So you mean you drank too much and you can't remember it?" Zhao Jun said with a wry smile, "Then my mother and uncle weren't around, so why didn't your grandmother tell you anything?"
Seeing that Zhao Youcai was still blinking his eyes, Zhao Jun reminded him again, "Didn't I ask you to tell them something?"
"I think I asked him at that time." Zhao Youcai recalled, saying, "Dad, don't you have anything to say to Qiangzi?"
At this point, Zhao Youcai paused, flicked the ash from his cigarette and said, "Your uncle is your son after all."
"Then what?" Zhao Jun asked, "What did my grandmother say?"
"He didn't say anything." Zhao Youcai answered, then looked at Zhao Jun and said, "Later, when your mother and the others came back, I told them everything."
After saying that, Zhao Youcai threw his hands and said, "Okay, I can't remember it. It's been so many years."
"No, Dad!" Zhao Jun grabbed Zhao Youcai's arm and said, "Think about it again. There are so many valuable things there."
"So many valuable things?" Zhao Youcai glanced at Zhao Jun and said, "Isn't it just the gold plaque or something? How much can it be worth? I made that leopard skin myself, how much is it worth? Didn't I give it all to you two?"
“I…” Zhao Jun was speechless, but still didn’t want to give up, so he gestured with his hands and said to Zhao Youcai: “My mother said there is a golden watermelon this big.”
"Ah." Zhao Youcai took a puff of cigarette and said disapprovingly, "What else?"
"And there are bunches of golden grapes." Zhao Jun emphasized, "Ten bunches!"
"Grapes?" Zhao Youcai was stunned and his face slowly turned to the left, as if he was recalling something.
Zhao Jun stared at Zhao Youcai closely, and suddenly he saw Zhao Youcai's small eyes widened, and at the same time Zhao Youcai opened his mouth and let out an "ah".
After the voice fell, Zhao Youcai threw the remaining half of the Stone Forest Cigarette under the tree and said, "That's what I said, oh..."
"What's going on, Dad?" Zhao Jun grabbed Zhao Youcai's arm and asked, "What did my grandma say?"
"When I asked the old man, he said no." Zhao Youcai said, "I just heard him mumbling about mountain grapes and so on, and I thought he wanted to eat wild grapes. It was summer then, otherwise how could your mother go to the production team to buy watermelons?
Then I said to my father, the wild grapes just bore fruit a few days ago, and they are not even as big as soybeans, so we can’t eat them.”
"And then?" Zhao Jun was so anxious that he asked, "What did my grandmother say?"
"Your great grandmother said..." Zhao Youcai suddenly paused, then looked at Zhao Jun and said, "What does your great grandmother say have to do with you? That was left for your mother and your uncle."
"Oh my!" Zhao Jun grabbed Zhao Youcai's arm, jumped up and down anxiously, and said, "Dad, my mom's share is ours."
Zhao Jun was not only after that thing, the key point was that Zhao Youcai only spoke halfway, which made him feel like he was being scratched by a cat.
"That won't work either." Seeing Zhao Jun's anxious look, Zhao Youcai smiled and said, "Wait until I get home and tell your mother and uncle."
"Dad, you..." Zhao Jun shook off Zhao Youcai's arm and said, "If you don't tell me, I won't be able to sleep tonight."
"Hehe..." Seeing Zhao Jun so anxious, Zhao Youcai actually laughed.
Zhao Jun knew that Ergudong was seeking revenge on him, so he said, "If you hadn't told me, I would still call you Second Uncle!"
"Fuck you!" Zhao Youcai waved his hand to scare Zhao Jun, saying, "If you keep yelling like that, I'll whip you!"
Zhao Jun dodged to the side and said to Zhao Youcai, "If you don't tell me, I won't care if you call me Second Uncle. Then I will go home and call my mother Second Aunt."
Zhao Youcai: "..."
Zhao Jun continued, "My mom will scold me after this, so I will tell her everything that happened yesterday."
"Little guy! Are you a tiger?" Zhao Youcai rushed over and Zhao Jun ran around the tree.
After the two of them chased each other for two rounds, Zhao Youcai stopped, pointed at Zhao Jun and said, "Little boy, come here, I'll tell you."
Zhao Jun's head was shaking like a rattle. When he was a kid, he was a troublemaker at home, but with his grandmother protecting him, Zhao Youcai couldn't beat him at all.
That Ergudong was really bad. In order to beat the child, he pretended to be nothing. After a while, he said to Zhao Jun kindly that he would take Zhao Jun out to buy delicious food. After tricking Zhao Jun out of the house, he dragged him to the warehouse and gave him a lecture.
"Come here, Dad will tell you." Zhao Youcai pretended to be amiable again. Seeing that Zhao Jun still shook his head, Zhao Youcai pretended to be angry and said, "If you don't come here, I'll leave."
Zhao Jun was suddenly caught in a dilemma. When he was a child, he was cheated by Zhao Youcai more than once. Later, although he knew that there was a high possibility that Zhao Youcai was cheating him, he could not resist the temptation of the candy balls.
Zhao Jun is now grown up. He recalled that he was always cheated and beaten when he was a child, so this time he can't accept it no matter what he says.
Seeing that Zhao Jun was not fooled, Zhao Youcai rolled his eyes at him and said, "You little calf, you have learned to be treacherous."
"Why do you always have to pester me?" Zhao Jun replied unhappily.
Zhao Youcai sighed softly, took out a cigarette box from his pocket, lit another cigarette and put it in his mouth.
Seeing Zhao Youcai lighting a cigarette, Zhao Jun couldn't help but relax his vigilance. But when Zhao Youcai lit the cigarette and extinguished the match, he suddenly rushed around the tree and rushed straight to Zhao Jun.
"Ouch!" Zhao Jun wanted to run, but he started too late and was caught by Zhao Youcai.
Zhao Youcai held a cigarette in his mouth, clamped his arm around Zhao Jun's neck and tightened his grip.
Zhao Jun tried to pull Zhao Youcai's arms free with both hands, but Zhao Youcai's arms were extremely strong and he held Zhao Jun tightly.
"You're still showing off?" Zhao Youcai asked. Zhao Jun quickly said, "It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable."
Zhao Youcai loosened his arms and pushed Zhao Jun away.
The playfulness between the father and son added a little warmth to the situation. Zhao Jun came to Zhao Youcai and said with a grin, "Dad, what's going on? Tell me about it."
Zhao Youcai exhaled a puff of smoke and said to Zhao Jun, "Didn't I tell you? I thought the old man wanted to eat wild grapes. I said the wild grapes weren't ripe yet. Guess what the old man said?"
"What did he say?" Zhao Jun asked. Zhao Youcai said, "He said that the wild grapes we picked the first two years we went up the mountain were delicious."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was startled when he heard this and interrupted, "Dad, have you two ever been up the mountain?"
"Choose a cemetery for him." Zhao Youcai gave this answer, but Zhao Jun felt it was very reasonable.
China promotes cremation, but it is not mandatory.
Even twenty or thirty years later, the elderly people who died in Yong'an Forest District were buried.
The older generation not only prepares their own coffin and funeral clothes, but also chooses their own burial site.
"Is it where my great-grandmother and my little-grandmother are buried?" Zhao Jun asked this question. On the day they went to the city to buy a color TV, they also went to visit the graves of Wang Daba Zhang and his wife. But the old man's resting place now is not at the door frame of Widow Wang.
Zhao Youcai didn't say anything. He shook his head, then said to Zhao Jun with a serious face, "It's under Widow Wang's door frame!"
"Yes!" Zhao Jun clapped his hands and said, "That's it!"
Unlike his son's excitement, Zhao Youcai took a puff of cigarette without any expression on his face and said, "It was already late autumn that year, and the river bank was frozen. We walked down from Widow Wang's door frame and walked to the second rib of the mountain. Your grandmother said that she smelled the scent of wild grapes."
This time Zhao Jun did not interrupt and listened patiently to what Zhao Youcai said.
"We should have walked downhill." Zhao Youcai continued, "But he insisted on taking that fork, saying there were wild grapes over there. We walked about two and a half miles and saw wild grapes."
"Dad!" Hearing this, Zhao Jun's face also became serious, and he said, "My great-grandmother said that on purpose."
"Yeah." Zhao Youcai said, "Now that I think about it, it's true. But I didn't know it at the time. I didn't dare to say anything at the time. I thought this old man's nose was as bad as a big-headed dog."
"Haha..." Zhao Jun was amused by Zhao Youcai's words. He laughed and said, "If my mother heard you say that, she would peel off your skin."
"What else is there to say?" Zhao Youcai also laughed, and then said: "I remember it very clearly. The wild grapes climbed up the white girl, and the stems were red. Then there was frost in the first two days. Once the frost hit, the grapes were so damn sweet."
Zhao Jun's mouth twitched when he heard this. Zhao Youcai continued, "So, before your great grandmother left, she kept saying how sweet mountain grapes were, and I remembered that place. Then your great grandmother told me that there were treasures in that mountain, and asked me to wait until the year was good and peaceful, and then take your uncle to the mountain to look for them."
"Dad!" Zhao Jun frowned and looked at Zhao Youcai, asking, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
"I..." Zhao Youcai said, "I think he is talking nonsense, talking about wild grapes and so on."
"Oh my father!" Zhao Jun complained, "If you don't tell me this, how much trouble will you have to wait for?"
"What am I wasting time on?" Zhao Youcai said, "Hasn't the harvest been good these past two years? We can just go find it someday."
What Zhao Youcai didn't know was that Zhao Jun was complaining that Zhao Youcai didn't tell the secret in his previous life and took it to his coffin. As a result, the Pang family became rich and bought many buildings!
"Dad, if we go now, you can find it, right?" Zhao Jun asked. Zhao Youcai nodded, then he paused and said, "Son, it's broken!"
"What's going on?" Zhao Jun was startled, and then he heard Zhao Youcai say, "Didn't they cut trees over there in the past two years?"
