Chapter 1475 The Four Yong'an Masters of the Previous Generation and the Six Masters of the Wan
Chapter 1475 The Four Great Masters of Yong'an and the Sixth Master of the Wang Family
Outside the gate of Zhao's courtyard, there was a horse-drawn sleigh parked.
Zhao Jun had sharp eyes and saw a familiar person sitting on the sled, it was Shi Baofeng.
"Ouch!" Zhao Jun's heart skipped a beat and he felt a little unwell.
Shi Baofeng had injured his foot and stopped hunting, so Zhao Jun took his men to the hill to hunt big beasts. This was not a wrong thing to do and did not violate the rules of the mountain.
The clamp under Shi Baofeng caught the big skin, and Zhao Jun happened to pick it up.
But Zhao Jun never thought of taking someone else's things. He had a lot of things to do recently, so he thought about waiting for the morning of the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month to find some time to return the big leather to Shi Baofeng. At that time, he would talk to Shi Baofeng about him taking the big white leather.
There is nothing wrong with doing this.
But if Shi Baofeng comes here first, then this matter will be difficult to explain and it will be easy to get confused.
Zhao Jun felt a little troubled, but when the time came, Zhao Jun did not back down, but walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard to meet the enemy.
At this time, an old man and a young boy got off the sled. Shi Baofeng had a leg injury, so he sat on the sled and couldn't move.
When Zhao Jun walked to the gate, he saw the old man and the young man looking at him. Although he didn't know them, Zhao Jun smiled and nodded to them out of politeness.
"Fourth Uncle." Then, Zhao Jun greeted Shi Baofeng who was sitting on the sled and said, "Your legs are weak. I'll help you down."
"I won't go down." Shi Baofeng heard this and waved his hand, saying, "I'll go to my second uncle's house."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was stunned, then he realized that he was overthinking. It turned out that Shi Baofeng wanted to go to Old Xu Pao's house.
Seeing Zhao Jun's surprised expression, Shi Baofeng continued, "Isn't it New Year's Day? I have to come and see my second uncle."
As he said this, Shi Baofeng turned around and called out to the man driving the sled, "Come, Guoliang, come and meet him. This is your brother Zhao Jun."
The sleigh driver came over to greet Zhao Jun and introduced himself, saying that his name was Xu Guoliang and that he was the son of Shi Baofeng's eldest brother.
Shi Baofeng has three older brothers, all of whom are blind. Shi Baofeng raised all the children of these three brothers, and Xu Guoliang treated this uncle like his father.
Zhao Jun exchanged a few polite words with Xu Guoliang, then looked at Shi Baofeng and asked tentatively: "Uncle, we are already at the doorstep, why don't you come in and sit for a while?"
"No." Shi Baofeng refused and said, "I'm leaving now. My second uncle and my second mother are waiting for me to eat."
Zhao Jun was even more confused after hearing what Shi Baofeng said. Why are you standing at my doorstep instead of coming into the house? If you want to accuse me, then just say it.
"Then Fourth Uncle, you..." Zhao Jun just opened his mouth to ask, when he saw Shi Baofeng raised his hand and pointed at the old man and the young man standing next to him, saying: "Zhao Jun, this is your relative, I brought him to you!"
"Ah!" Zhao Jun suddenly realized what was going on and turned to look at the old man and the young boy.
They say one is old and the other is young, but the young one is only relative to the old one. The old one looks to be in his sixties, almost seventy, while the young one is also in his forties.
Both of them had thick eyebrows and big eyes. Zhao Jun guessed in his heart that their surname should be Wang.
How can I neglect the relatives from my mother's side?
Zhao Jun stepped forward, bowed his head slightly, and asked the old man politely, "Old man, you always..."
"My name is Wang Changhai." As soon as the old man got on the sled, Zhao Jun came out. He didn't say anything but watched Zhao Jun for a long time. Seeing Zhao Jun's thick eyebrows and big eyes, Wang Changhai said to Zhao Jun in a very affirmative tone: "You are the boy from the Lanzi family, right?"
"Ah! Yes, yes." When Zhao Jun heard this, a smile appeared on his face and then he nodded heavily.
"Well...you guys keep chatting." It was freezing cold outside, and Shi Baofeng couldn't stand watching them flirt with their relatives. He waved his hand to the east and said, "We're leaving first!"
"Let's go, brother." Xu Guoliang also said hello to Zhao Jun, and Zhao Jun hurriedly asked Shi Baofeng: "Fourth Uncle, are you staying at my master Xu's house for one night today?"
"Why stay? There are still a lot of things to do during the New Year!" Shi Baofeng said, "I'm here just to see the old couple. I'll go back around three o'clock."
This generation of people speak like this, with a heavy tone and a falling pitch, and their words are not polite at all. Outsiders who hear them would think they are fighting a war.
"Ah, that's fine, Fourth Uncle." Zhao Jun said, "Then I'll go to my uncle Xu's house before three o'clock. I have something to talk to you about."
"Okay." Shi Baofeng responded, and at this time Xu Guoliang whipped the horse and drove the sled away.
"Grandpa." Zhao Jun turned around and called Wang Changhai, saying, "Let's go into the house quickly."
Damn uncle, there's nothing wrong with calling him master. Once we know how high up this old man is among their uncles and cousins, we can just call him grandpa.
“Let’s go.” Wang Changhai nodded and followed Zhao Jun inside, saying, “We are uncles and cousins. Your great-grandmother is the eldest and I am the sixth. You have to call me Sixth Grandpa!”
"Hey, Sixth Grandpa, my name is Zhao Jun." Zhao Jun quickly changed his words and introduced himself. At this time, Wang Changhai pointed at the middle-aged man and said to Zhao Jun: "This is your fourth uncle in our family."
"Fourth uncle." Zhao Jun hurriedly turned around and greeted Wang Yanshuang.
"Hey, hey." Wang Yanshuang responded with a smile.
Zhao Jun was about to speak when he saw Wang Yanshuang's face suddenly darken.
"Dad!" Wang Yanshuang called Wang Changhai and said, "Where are you getting that thing for Lan Zi?"
Wang Changhai was stunned by his son's question, and then he cursed: "Qiaoliwa, you are asking me?"
Zhao Jun was stunned by the father and son. Not only him, but even the three red dogs, one big and two small, under the west wall were staring at them in a daze.
Wang Yanshuang slapped his thigh, turned around and ran out of the yard.
"I'm pretty!" Wang Changhai seemed to have a bad temper. He chased Wang Yanshuang out of the yard, cursing, "Why don't you lose your head?"
"It's okay, Sixth Grandpa." Zhao Jun chased after him and advised, "The things can't be lost."
When Zhao Jun and Wang Changhai walked out of the yard, they saw Wang Yanshuang running towards them with a triangular bag in one hand. Xu Guoliang was driving a sled and stopped not far away.
"Dad, I found it." Wang Yanshuang's face was covered with sweat as he spoke, while Wang Changhai was still cursing.
"Give it to me." Wang Changhai stretched out his hands, snatched the two triangular bags with two hands, and glared at Wang Yanshuang fiercely.
"Sixth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, let's go upstairs quickly." Zhao Jun invited the two of them into the house, which helped Wang Yanshuang out of the predicament.
The three of them walked into the Zhao family compound again. Wang Changhai suddenly raised his left hand and pointed to the west courtyard with the triangular bag he was holding. He asked Zhao Jun, "Is that Li Daming's home?"
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was stunned. Including the time before his rebirth, he hadn't heard anyone mention this nickname for twenty or thirty years.
Forty years ago, the Yong'an Forest District did not yet have the name Yong'an. At that time, it was called Shibadaogangzi.
Forty years ago, there were four famous people in Shibadaogangzi, who were comparable to the four wonders of Yong'an in Zhao Jun's previous life.
The four celebrities are Wang Dabazhang, Zhao Dazhuizi, Li Damingbai and Zhang Da Naotou.
These four are not outsiders actually. Among them, Wang Dabazhang, Zhao Dazhuizi and Zhang Danaotou are needless to say.
Li Daming was no one but Li Dayong's father. He claimed to be the best scholar in Shibadaogangzi, and he knew the past 500 years and the future 500 years. He knew astronomy, geography, chickens, ducks, geese and dogs.
The three of them walked to the front of the house while talking. Zhao Jun opened the door to let the Wang family father and son in first, and shouted, "Mom, there are guests at home!"
"Hey!" Wang Meilan responded. She took the washed teacup and went to the table against the wall, ready to pour water for the guest.
But at this moment, she heard someone behind her say, "Lan Zi."
If Wang Meilan wasn't stupid, she would know that this was a call to her. And in Wang Meilan's memory, no one had ever called her like this since her mother passed away.
Wang Meilan turned around and took a look at the old man who walked into the room. She was stunned for a moment.
"Lan Zi." Wang Changhai called Wang Meilan again, and then asked, "Do you still recognize me?"
“Sixth Uncle!” Wang Meilan’s eyes widened. She jumped in front of Wang Changhai in surprise, grabbed Wang Changhai’s arm with both hands, and excitedly shouted again: “Sixth Uncle!”
"Hey!" Wang Changhai responded happily. It can be seen that the old man is really happy, his face is full of wrinkles.
"Lan Zi." At this time, Wang Yanshuang, who followed in, also called out to Wang Meilan. Wang Meilan looked at him and said in surprise, "Fourth Brother!"
While talking to Wang Yanshuang, Wang Meilan still held Wang Changhai's arm, and then called to the two of them, "Sixth Uncle, Fourth Brother, hurry up and get on the kang!"
Just now, as soon as Wang Meilan called out "Sixth Uncle", Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai got up from the kang. Zhang Yuanmin held the cat toy in his hand like a eunuch holding a whisk.
Li Ruhai stood aside holding the little lynx in his arms, and the two of them and the beast watched the scene of the recognition of relatives with curious eyes.
Wang Changhai did not get on the kang, but pushed the small basket of tobacco leaves on the kang table aside, and then placed the two triangular bags he brought on the kang table.
There is a strap on each side of the triangular bag. After putting things in it, tie the two straps into a cross buckle, and then you can carry it.
When Wang Changhai was unbuttoning the button, Wang Meilan had already poured water for the father and son.
Wang Meilan turned around and saw that Wang Changhai and Wang Yanshuang were not on the kang, so he hurriedly called out, "Sixth Uncle, Fourth Brother, you two should get on the kang quickly. After that, take off your cotton-padded jackets and warm yourself up."
The father and son came here on a sled. They were freezing all the way and their cotton-padded jackets were soaked with chill.
"Lan Zi." At this time, Wang Changhai had untied a triangular pocket and took out a large butter paper bag from it.
The old man held the butter paper bag in his hand and smiled at Wang Meilan, "Look what Uncle Six got you."
As he spoke, Wang Changhai placed the paper package on the table and began to open it.
Wang Meilan came over to take a look. Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin, and Li Ruhai also stretched their necks to see what good stuff the old man had brought to Wang Meilan.
When Wang Changhai opened the butter paper package, everyone saw that there were twisted dough sticks inside.
The fried dough twist that Wang Changhai brought was much thinner and smaller than those sold outside. It was obvious that it was fried at home.
Seeing the fried dough twist, Zhao Jun and the other two were a little disappointed, but Wang Meilan suddenly looked up at Wang Changhai and said with certainty: "This was fried by my sixth aunt!"
At this time, Wang Yanshuang had opened another triangular bag and took out a large butter paper package and placed it on the kang table.
Wang Changhai did not open the butter paper package, but patted it gently and said, "Lanzi, your sixth uncle is here, and I didn't buy you anything, so I just gave you two bags of fried dough twists."
"Lan Zi." Wang Yanshuang said beside him, "My mother said that you like to eat the fried dough twists she makes."
Hearing Wang Yanshuang's words, Wang Meilan looked down at Mahua, then looked up at Wang Changhai. Looking at Wang Changhai's face, the slightly blurred face of her father in Wang Meilan's memory became clear at this moment.
Wang Meilan's eyes felt hot and her nose felt sore. She raised her hands to cover her mouth and nose, then lowered her head.
"Mom!" Zhao Jun was startled and quickly took out two pieces of toilet paper from his pocket and handed them to Wang Meilan.
"Lan Zi, what are you doing?" Wang Changhai saw this and gently touched Wang Meilan's shoulder with the back of his hand, saying, "If you continue to do this, Uncle Six will leave."
Hearing this, Wang Meilan wiped the tears from her face with toilet paper, sniffed her nose, and when she looked up at Wang Changhai, she reached out and grabbed the old man's arm, saying, "Sixth Uncle, get on the kang and warm up."
After saying that, Wang Meilan stood up and said to Li Ruhai: "Ruhai!"
Seeing Wang Meilan getting ready, Li Ruhai quickly stepped forward and said, "Auntie!"
"Lanzi!" Wang Yanshuang was a man who could interrupt. He pointed at Li Ruhai and asked Wang Meilan, "Isn't this your child?"
"This is Ruhai from Dayong's family in the west courtyard." Wang Meilan was distracted to answer, but she saw Wang Changhai looking at Li Ruhai and asked, "Li Da Ming is your grandfather?"
"Ah!" Li Ruhai nodded and responded. At this moment, Zhao Jun couldn't help but say in his heart, "His name is Li Dabaihua."
At this time, Wang Changhai looked at Zhang Yuanmin again, and then asked Wang Meilan: "Who is this?"
"This is the aid worker..." Wang Meilan started, but then she remembered that Wang Changhai had left Yong'an quite early, so she added, "His father is Zhang Da Wang."
Zhang Da Wang is the name of Zhang Yuanmin's father. Legend has it that Zhang Yuanmin's grandfather was also very smart and insisted on giving his son a domineering name, so Zhang Da Wang was born.
After hearing Wang Meilan reveal Zhang Yuanmin's background, Wang Changhai and Wang Yanshuang looked at Zhang Yuanmin in unison with surprise in their eyes.
Zhang Yuanmin smiled faintly, raised his hand and clasped his fist towards Wang Changhai, and said, "Old man, you are in good health."
Wang Changhai didn't say anything. Wang Meilan saw this and waved at Zhang Yuanmin, saying, "Yuanmin, you've worked hard, go home and catch a big goose."
"Okay, old lady." Zhang Yuanmin agreed, and then said to Wang Changhai: "Old man, you sit down and drink some water and smoke. I'll go catch a goose for you."
"No, no." Wang Changhai heard this and quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't make it so troublesome. Just eat whatever you have."
Although Wang Changhai said this, when he saw Wang Meilan waving at him, Zhang Yuanmin hurriedly turned around and walked outside.
"Ruhai." At this time, Wang Meilan ordered Li Ruhai again, "Go to the west courtyard and ask your mother and the others to cook quickly. There are canned food, ham and other things in the cellar, bring them all up to me!"
"Under my command..." Li Ruhai shouted strangely and walked out in small steps.
"Tsk!" Seeing this scene, Wang Changhai smacked his lips, sighed and said to Wang Meilan: "Watching you act like this, I feel like I'm watching my elder brother!"
When Wang Meilan looked at Wang Changhai, it was like seeing her father. And when Wang Changhai looked at Wang Meilan, it was like seeing his elder brother.
For a moment, the uncle and nephew sighed together.
The additional chapter will be posted a little later, around 6:30. Brothers, go to bed first and read it tomorrow morning.
The sixth uncle of the Wang family did not come simply to visit relatives. He and his son came because of Wang Daba’s business venture back then.
Just imagine how a mountain man could become so rich. We will find out in the next chapter.
