The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

Chapter 1615: Visiting and Asking for Gifts (9K2 Chapters in 1)

Chapter 1615: Visiting and Asking for Gifts (9K Two Chapters Combined into One)

By the time Zhao Jun and his men had carried the two deer and a bear down the mountain and fed the dogs, it was already noon.

A few of them took out the pancakes they brought from home, ate a quick bite, and then got on the bus to return home.

By the time they entered Yong'an Village, it was already past one in the afternoon. Zhao Jun asked Li Baoyu to drive the Liberation vehicle directly to the village headquarters to register the prey.

Zhao Jun signed up for this spring hunt, but he didn't actually participate. Firstly, as the main person in charge of this spring hunt, it would be inappropriate for him to participate in the award judging.

Another thing is that he is getting married soon. There are so many things going on at home. How careless would it be to go up the mountain to hunt?

When Zhao Jun arrived at the garrison, the garrison compound was very lively. As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. These old men in the forest area are basically qualified mountain runners. Otherwise, when Zhao Jun's squirrel skins were valuable in his previous life, all the forest workers would not have bought air guns to go up the mountain.

At this time, many people carrying guns gathered in the yard. Some of them had roe deer next to them, some had wild boars, and some were holding pheasants and hares to register.

Xie Chen's Jiefang truck has been going in and out of Yong'an for almost a year, and the people of Yong'an have gotten used to it and are familiar with it.

When they saw the Liberation truck parked outside the compound of the garrison, everyone went over to help Zhao Jun unload the prey.

Compared with Wang Meilan, Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai are more popular in Yong'antun.

In fact, this has nothing to do with popularity, but the fact that the way men get along with each other is different from the way women get along with each other.

Men care about looking good on the surface, so no matter how much they dislike a person in their heart, as long as they haven't fallen out, they have to greet each other and chat about family matters while meeting.

Women, on the other hand, are more direct; they will form cliques and gossip and do small things.

Compared with the father and son of the Zhao family, Zhao Jun has better popularity than Zhao Youcai. After all, Er Gudong has been famous for many years, while Xiao Gudong has only known very few people.

Moreover, the impression people in Yong'an Forest District have of Zhao Jun is not that he is a little idiot, but that he is a man of great benevolence and righteousness.

These days, in Northeast China, calling someone benevolent and righteous is considered quite a high compliment.

In addition, Zhao Jun was promoted and became rich this year, and the people around him became more and more powerful.

Let’s not talk about Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun, or his brother-in-law’s family. Just look at the new forestry director. Isn’t he pulling a big elk with Zhao Jun now?

"Xiaojun, how is your dad?" At this time, Zhao Guofeng asked Zhao Jun with concern, "I heard that he was scratched by a black bear. I just got the news and haven't had time to go. I thought I would go to see him after dinner."

Zhao Guofeng's attitude towards the Zhao family remained the same. Not only did he and Zhao Youcai grow up naked together, but the two Zhao families had been good brothers since the previous generation. In local dialect, it was called "son's generation, father's generation". Even though Zhao Jun and Zhao Jinshan didn't have much contact, if one of them had a problem, the other would help.

In his previous life, Zhao Jun returned to his hometown in poverty. When he had nothing to do, he would go fishing in the reservoir contracted by Zhao Jinshan, and Zhao Jinshan never said anything.

"It's okay, uncle," Zhao Jun said, "He was scratched by the black bear, it's just a flesh wound, he will be fine after healing."

"Oh!" Zhao Guofeng sighed and said, "Your family was building a shed that day, and I saw him at home. I was wondering about him. I thought it was good that he didn't go up the mountain. The child is about to get married, so why did he go up the mountain again?"

Zhao Jun also smiled bitterly and said, "He was careless. He fought several big guys the day before yesterday and didn't get any back. When he went up the mountain yesterday, he wanted to catch two big guys, but a black blind man jumped out from the side and he was attacked by him."

This was Zhao Jun trying to make up for Zhao Youcai, after all, that was his father. Zhao Jun knew that his father cared about his reputation, so he explained the accident as an accident, not a mistake made by his father.

"It's this Black Bear?" When Zhao Jun and Zhao Guofeng were talking, the people nearby could hear clearly, so they looked at the Black Bear they dragged into the courtyard and asked, "Is Black Bear out of the warehouse so early?"

"Who should be allowed to fight?" Zhao Jun said, and then someone next to him said, "How about this? Brothers fight together, and fathers and sons fight together. If his father has something to do, his son will really go."

"What else are you talking about?" As soon as the man finished speaking, someone else echoed him, "Zhao Jun is filial to begin with. Otherwise, I would say that he has wealth but doesn't know how to enjoy his blessings. I watched him in the cafeteria and I have said this to him so many times. I asked him why he always goes up to the mountains? His family doesn't need your stuff."

"Not really." After he finished saying this, someone else said, "If my son is as successful as Zhao Jun, I will do nothing, I won't go to work, I will just stay at home and be a grandfather every day."

Zhao Jun didn't expect that just because he said a few words to defend Zhao Youcai, the scene turned into his own commendation meeting.

Zhao Jun saw that something was not right, and hurriedly helped Zhao Youcai explain from the side, saying to Zhao Guofeng: "Uncle Zhao, this black bear was shot by my father yesterday. He was beaten to death, and he was in a hurry and didn't come back. Today I went up the mountain to bring him back. After that, Uncle Zhao, you can register it and put it under his name.

"Okay," Zhao Guofeng responded, and then asked everyone to help weigh the two big elk and black bear.

The two elks and the black bear were gutted, but these people had experience. By weighing the gutted prey, they could estimate how much the prey weighed when it was alive. Although there was a slight difference between the estimate and the actual weight, the difference was negligible.

The two elks weighed a total of 675 kilograms, while the black deer weighed 323 kilograms.

After soaking and weighing, Zhao Jun asked the villagers what kind of meat each wanted, and he would cut it for them with a knife.

Those who grow small gardens in the countryside can eat the fruits of their labor as long as they don’t sell them.

The same was true when Zhao Jun and his men went hunting. As long as they didn't aim to sell the prey for money, any of their neighbors would come to help skin and meat the prey so that they would not leave empty-handed.

It's okay if you don't help, just give a little as long as you open your mouth. As the old saying goes, a man's mouth is worth three points of profit. We all live in the same village, and everyone's mouth is a face. If you taunt someone, you will offend him.

There were several people who wanted venison, and several who wanted black bear meat, so Zhao Jun's family bought five or six pounds of them.

These people not only took advantage, some of them gave the rabbits and pheasants they hunted to the Zhao army, and some cut wild boar legs and roe deer legs to the Zhao army.

Zhao Jun said no, some refused to give it to him, and some just threw the meat into the trunk.

After sending those people away, Zhao Jun came to Zhao Guofeng and saw Zhao Guofeng took out the notebook for recording the results. Zhao Guofeng turned to that page and the first name was Zhao Youcai. Because he was the first one in Yong'an Village to bring back prey, after the mobilization meeting that day, Zhao Youcai didn't wait for the guns to be issued, and he took Li Dayong directly to the mountains.

Zhao Jun took a look and found that Zhao Youcai's performance was quite good, and he was now the first in Yong'an Village. According to Zhao Jun's estimation, the only one who had a chance to surpass Zhao Youcai in this spring hunt was Huang Gui.

"Six hundred and seventy-five, three hundred and twenty-three." Zhao Guofeng muttered the numbers on the scale just now. When he was recording the results for Zhao Youcai, Zhao Jun whispered in Zhao Guofeng's ear: "Uncle, I'll chop off a big guy's leg and a black bear's palm for you, and then I'll send you home directly."

"No, Jun!" Zhao Guofeng refused without hesitation, saying, "Your father has been bringing a lot of meat to my family recently, and we can't eat it all. Once the temperature goes up in a few days, there will be no place to store it."

What Zhao Guofeng said was right. It was because the temperature was high these two days, otherwise the meat in Zhao Jun's house would have gone bad.

In this way, Wang Meilan took advantage of the low temperature in the evening to fill basins, buckets, and other containers with water and put them outside to freeze. The next morning, she got up early, turned the containers with water and ice upside down, and poured hot water on the bottom of the containers, so that the ice would separate from the containers.

Then Wang Meilan smashed the ice into pieces and put them in a large vat, layering the meat and ice. Now the Zhao family's beef, bear paws, and red deer meat are all stored in this way, otherwise they will not go bad and will not be fresh.

Fortunately, Zhao Jun’s wedding was just a few days away, and Wang Meilan thought that the meat would be enough as long as it lasted until his son’s banquet was over.

"Uncle, then I won't send it to you." Zhao Jun knew that Zhao Guofeng would not pretend with him, so if he didn't want it, then forget it.

Seeing that Zhao Guofeng had completed the registration, Zhao Jun was saying goodbye to him and preparing to leave, but was grabbed by Zhao Guofeng.

"Jun!" This time it was Zhao Guofeng's turn to whisper in Zhao Jun's ear: "Are the two deer in your car male or female? If you want a male, leave the gun to me."

"Uncle, I can't give you a male or female one." Zhao Jun laughed and said, "These two are just stubborn and can't do anything."

"Ouch." Zhao Guofeng knew what Zhao Jun meant when he heard it. But at this time, Zhao Jun laughed and said, "Uncle, the day before yesterday, my dad killed a whole big buck, weighing more than 600 kilograms. I will send you the gun one day."

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events. Zhao Guofeng's eyes lit up and he nodded decisively, "Okay!"

After coming out of the village, Zhao Jun did not go home directly, but asked Li Baoyu to drive the car to Mangliutun.

The information about the last wild boar was given by Zhang Lifu. After killing the wild boar, no meat was given to Zhang Lifu. The Zhao army wanted to leave a small part for Zhang Lifu so that he could peel the skin and meat and sell them for money.

The "little two-year-old" mentioned by Zhao Jun's family is a large animal about one year old. And the "niu danzi" is about two years old.

The deer have not yet reached sexual maturity, so Zhao Jun said that his gun was not working and had no medicinal effect.

But the meat of immature animals is delicious, but once they mate, the meat is no longer as delicious as before. This is not only true for animals, but also for chickens, ducks, and geese. The mating of poultry is called back-trampling, and no matter whether you are the one stepping or the one being stepped on, the meat is no longer as delicious as before.

Compared with adult red deer meat, niandanzi venison is more tender and less smelly. The meat is delicious when fried, stewed or cooked in sauce, and is much more popular than naanzi meat.

Zhao Jun threw a bull's egg to Zhang Lifu, and it was no problem for Zhang Lifu to skin and meat it and sell it for a hundred yuan.

Zhang Life always said that if there was no Zhao Youcai, he wouldn't be where he is today. In the past year, Zhang Life followed Zhao Jun and his family's life became better and better.

Seeing Zhao Jun coming and offering a deer, Zhang Lifu and his family were very grateful. Zhang Lifu warmly invited Zhao Jun into the house, but Zhao Jun declined. Zhang Lifu was a little unhappy and said, "What's the matter, nephew? Do you look down on your uncle?"

"That's impossible, uncle." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "Uncle, I have to go back quickly. There are a lot of things going on at home, and my dad was scratched by that black bear."

"What?" Zhang Lifeu was shocked when he heard that, and asked quickly, "What happened? How could Second Brother be scratched by the black bear? What's wrong with that? Let me go and see him!"

"It's okay, uncle." Zhao Jun hurriedly stopped Zhang Lifu and said, "He's just a flesh wound. He can just lie down on the kang and heal. Don't bother with it. Go dig a deer for my aunt."

"No, no." Zhang Life waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Just leave their mother at home. I'll go see my second brother!"

After saying this, Zhang Life sighed and said, "Oh, my second brother, I have told him so many times that the child is better at hunting than he is. Let you go out hunting, and he can just stay at home and enjoy the good life."

"Ah?" Zhao Jun was shocked by Zhang Life's words, while Wang Qiang at the side asked with a smile: "Brother Zhang Liu, when you say that, what did my brother-in-law say?"

"I got scolded." Zhang Life said with a wry smile, causing everyone to laugh. Except for Wang Meilan, anyone who dared to say that to Zhao Youcai would be scolded.

"Okay, stop laughing." Zhang Life waved his hand and said, "I'll go with you. I'm going to see my second brother!"

Seeing that Zhang Lifu was determined to go with him to see Zhao Youcai, Zhao Jun stopped trying to persuade him. Because Zhao Jun knew that even if he didn't take Zhang Lifu with him today, he would still go tomorrow. If Zhang Lifu went by himself, he would have to spend money to buy things, so it would be better to drive him to his home.

But when Zhao Jun asked Zhang Lifeu to get in the car, he saw Zhang Lifeu running into the house and carrying out two cans and two bottles of wine.

Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, Zhang Lifeu smiled and said, "My second brother smoked Shilin, and I couldn't afford it, so I took two cans to make up for it."

"Uncle Zhang." Li Baoyu asked curiously, "Does your family have any gifts?"

"No way!" Zhang Lifeu said with a smile, "My second brother's birthday is coming up soon, right? I was thinking I'd go visit him someday, and if I happened to buy some goods on the way, I'd buy some."

Zhang Lifeu's wife set up a stall at the market, and Zhang Lifeu would go out every now and then to sell some miscellaneous daily necessities.

"Huh?" After hearing what Zhang Lifeu said, Zhao Jun was stunned, and secretly wondered in his heart when was Zhao Youcai's birthday?

"Brother Zhang Liu, do you know when my brother-in-law's birthday is?" Wang Qiang said in surprise: "I don't know."

"I also heard his old lady muttering that year." Zhang Lifu said, "My second brother's birthday is March 22nd."

The March 22nd that Zhang Lifu mentioned must be the lunar calendar, and Zhao Jun kept this date in mind.

It has been a year and a half since he was reborn. During this year and a half, Zhao Youcai's personality has become more and more changeable. He was a pretty cool old man in his previous life, but now he is almost a funny guy.

But as long as it doesn't involve major issues, Zhao Jun is willing to coax him.

On his way back to Yong'an from Mangliutun, Li Baoyu, who was driving, saw Ma Yang coming from the opposite direction.

Ma Yang also recognized the car and ran towards it with his hands raised high.

Li Baoyu, who was driving, stepped on the brakes and stopped. Ma Yang ran to the driver's seat and when he couldn't see Zhao Jun inside, he raised his hand to signal and then ran to the trunk.

Zhao Jun was wondering why the car was stopped, and when he looked out he saw Ma Yang.

"Where have you been, Xiaoyang?" Zhao Jun asked. Ma Yang said, "I just came back from watching the fun at your house."

When Ma Yang said this, Zhao Jun's face darkened. He thought Ma Yang was going to laugh at Zhao Youcai, but then he heard Ma Yang say, "You installed a telephone in that room, so there are so many people outside watching the fun."

Hearing what Ma Yang said, Zhao Jun smiled and asked, "Is the An An finished yet?"

"Is it almost done?" Ma Yang said, "I'm leaving, Jun Ge. My eldest aunt and my third aunt are here today, and I'm anxious to go back."

When Zhao Jun heard this, he saw the soy sauce bottle in Ma Yang's arms and guessed that this boy must have been sent by his family to get some soy sauce, but ended up going there to watch the fun.

"Xiaoyang, wait a moment," Zhao Jun called Ma Yang, then turned back to Xie Chen and said, "Xiaochen, quickly remove a deer leg, a black bear's paw, and two pieces of black bear meat."

"I don't want it," Ma Yang shook his head and said, "Brother Jun, you guys can keep it and eat it. I have everything at home."

The child could even say polite words. Although he said no, he had no intention of leaving at all.

Just like that, about 5 minutes later, Ma Yang held the soy sauce bottle under his armpit, dragged the elk leg with his left hand, and held the bear paw and bear meat in his right hand, and hurried home.

After seeing Ma Yang off, Li Baoyu continued to drive home. At this time, Lin Xiangshun in the back of the car said to Zhao Jun: "Jun, when we get home, I will tell my uncle that we are going to Ma's house, otherwise all of Ma's relatives will come."

Lin Xiangshun was talking about going to the Ma family to ask for etiquette, which was just a formality to be done. But a toad jumped out from the frog pile, and there really was something fishy going on.

When Wang Dalong got married that year, his relatives went to Wei Xiaojuan's parents' home to ask for gifts.

A distant relative of the Wei family was there at the time, and he shouldn't have interrupted, but he did, saying that the clothes made by Wang Dalong's family for Wei Xiaojuan were not good. The person from Wang Dalong's family who went to ask for a gift got sulked on the spot, making the two families very unhappy.

That relative of the Wei family is a complete scoundrel. He shouldn't have said that, and Wei Xiaojuan's family didn't ask him to say that. His behavior is called "qianerdeng" in Northeastern dialect. Since then, Wei Xiaojuan's family has cut off contact with that relative.

Now it’s only a few days until the Ma family’s wedding, and it’s about time that real relatives and distant relatives come up.

Although I haven't heard that the Ma family has any distant relatives, it's better to be safe than sorry. It would be a shame if a stupid person pops up and makes both families unhappy.

So, what Lin Xiangshun meant was to get it done quickly today and finish it quickly.

"Okay, second brother," Zhao Jun agreed without hesitation.

As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, the Liberation truck stopped at the door of the house. Li Baoyu honked the horn twice to alert people to come out.

The people in the car got out, lowered the trunk barrier, and started pulling the deer down.

After dragging most of the big guy into the yard, the door of Zhao's house opened. Wang Meilan was not at home at this time, and the women led by Jin Xiaomei walked out of the house with basins and knives.

Zhao Chun was also among them. When he saw Zhang Lifu, he first called him "Sixth Uncle" and then said to Zhao Jun, "Brother, Dad is asking you. Are those two big guys and the blind bear listed under his name?"

Zhao Jun heard this and twitched his lips, saying, "I have written it."

"Okay then," Zhao Chun turned around and walked back, saying, "Dad is worried about me, I'll go tell him right away."

After Zhang Life helped Zhao Jun and his men catch the sika deer and the black bear, he went into the house with the gifts to see Zhao Youcai.

Jin Xiaomei, Zhao Ling and others peeled the deer skin and unloaded the deer meat. Zhao Jun, Li Dazhi, Wang Qiang, Lin Xiangshun, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen walked together towards the Zhao family's new house.

Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen went to see the situation of the telephone installation, while Li Dazhi, Wang Qiang and Lin Xiangshun went to find Zhou Jianjun and Zhang Yuanmin, and then the four of them went to the Ma family to ask for gifts.

When he learned about this on the way, Li Dazhi also clamored to go.

Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang and Lin Xiangshun had no objection to this. If more people went, the scene would be more complete, not to mention that Li Dazhi was the director of the forestry farm.

When they arrived at the Zhao family's new house, they happened to meet Wang Meilan sending someone out.

Just as Ma Yang said, many people from Yong'an Village gathered inside and outside the Zhao family's new house to watch the fun.

There were men, women, young and old, but mostly women. Ever since they learned that Wang Meilan had become the head of Xishan Village, the atmosphere in Yong'an Village had completely changed. At this time, those women were no longer comparable to Wang Meilan, and their envy, jealousy, and hatred for Wang Meilan seemed to have disappeared overnight.

Zhao Jun walked over and, with the introduction of Zhou Jianjun, he got to know the two technicians in the village. Before Zhao Jun became a cadre, he was known as Xiao Zhao Pao, and was listed in the village head's office. It is said that for a period of time, the wild boar meat sold by Xiao Zhao Pao was 20 cents more expensive than the wild boar meat sold at the market.

The two technicians had lunch at Zhao Jun's house. When they came back to the new house to continue working after lunch, Wang Meilan gave each of them a pack of Shilin cigarettes.

The wholesale price of Shilin cigarettes is 45 yuan per pack, which is equivalent to half a month's salary for each of them. Zhou Jianjun has a favor here, and the two technicians happily call Zhao Jun's home.

After Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan sent the technician away, Wu Dongxia asked Wang Meilan, "Aunt Zhao, can I call your home phone now?"

"You can fight now," Wang Meilan replied with a smile, and then she heard Sun Yongrong, who had always been at odds with Wu Dongxia, say, "Whether you can fight or not, it's not your turn. It's useless to ask."

"Why can't I fight?" Wu Dongxia glared at Sun Yongrong and said, "Can't I go to Yongxing to fight for my sister?"

After saying this, Wu Dongxia sneered: "Unlike you, an outsider, you don't have any relatives here!"

"You," Sun Yongrong, whose sore spot was touched, glared and was about to quarrel with Wu Dongxia.

At this time, Li Ruhai in the crowd hurriedly advised: "Aunt Qi, Aunt Sun, please stop making noise. It's been so busy this morning, go home and have a rest."

Although Li Ruhai was young, he had great prestige among the women in the village. As soon as he said this, Wu Dongxia and Sun Yongrong immediately stopped talking, glared at each other, and turned their heads away.

Under Li Ruhai's persuasion, the crowd dispersed. Wang Qiang called Zhou Jianjun and Zhang Yuanmin, together with Li Dazhi and Lin Xiangshun, and the five of them went to the Ma family to ask for gifts on behalf of the Zhao family.

Wang Meilan locked the door and walked home with Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu, Jie Chen and Li Ruhai.

On the way, Wang Meilan praised Li Ruhai to Zhao Jun, saying, "Today is all thanks to Ruhai."

"What's the matter, Mom?" Zhao Jun asked. Wang Meilan said, "Look, we have a telephone at home. That black-haired kid is talking nonsense."

"What the hell," Zhao Jun cursed, "Wait till my dad gets better, let him and my uncle Li use a big sack to cover him up!"

Hearing this, Wang Meilan smiled and punched Zhao Jun: "Don't talk nonsense. What are you trying to cover up?"

"Then what am I talking about?" Zhao Jun sneered, "He's been jumping around all day, I've wanted to beat him up for a long time."

"Why don't you tell our uncle?" Li Ruhai suddenly interrupted. Wang Meilan and Zhao Jun said in unison, "Just calm down."

As soon as the two finished speaking, Li Baoyu added: "This man deserves a beating, but his crime does not deserve the death penalty!"

"Hey? Ruhai." At this time, Xie Chen asked Li Ruhai curiously: "How do you deal with these things? I can't stand a bunch of old women chattering."

"That's you." Li Baoyu said with a smile, "My brother likes this."

"Go to hell!" Li Ruhai glared at Li Baoyu, and Zhao Jun also asked Wang Meilan, "Mom, what did the black-haired kid say about our family?"

"They said it was against the rules to call our house." Wang Meilan said so, Zhao Jun cursed again, and then asked Li Ruhai: "Ruhai, how did you solve it?"

Zhao Jun found this kind of thing difficult to handle, because it was indeed against the rules for his family to do so.

"I expected it a long time ago." Li Ruhai smiled proudly and said, "I went out to spread the word in the morning. I said that Xishan Village had no village office and no telephone. My aunt sacrificed herself for others and her own family for the sake of everyone else, and spent money to build a village office and install a telephone for the village.

The village headquarters has not been built yet, so I had no choice but to connect the telephone to my home in order to contact the organization more conveniently. "

"Ah?" Zhao Jun frowned and asked, "Do they believe it?"

"I believe it!" Li Ruhai nodded and said, "Today when that black-haired kid was nagging me in the store, Aunt Qi directly refuted him."

Zhao Jun blinked his eyes when he heard Li Ruhai's words. This kid's actions really made Zhao Jun understand what it means to specialize in one's field. Old Aunt Qi Wu Dongxia kept complaining about Zhao Youcai's faults, but she believed everything Li Ruhai said.

The facts before his eyes reminded Zhao Jun of Zhang Yuanmin's words. Zhang Yuanmin told Zhao Jun that the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce must occupy this position to promote it. Especially after the freight business started, if this position was occupied by the enemy, there would be endless troubles.

To occupy this position, Li Ruhai must be used.

Seeing him today, I can see that little Zhuge is still far-sighted.

……

They returned home chatting and laughing. Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen were tired after a day's work and went back to their room to rest. Wang Meilan and Li Ruhai joined the team to steal red deer and black bears.

When Zhao Jun and his two companions entered the room, Zhang Lifeu had not left yet. He was chatting with Zhao Youcai in the east room, accompanied by Li Dayong. The old lady was teaching Li Tongyun embroidery in the west room. Xing San did not want to get involved with the two gangs, so he moved a small stool and sat in front of the stove to smoke.

Seeing Zhao Jun coming back, Xing San raised his eyes and said, "The boy is back."

"Uncle." Zhao Jun knew Xing San's character, so he just greeted Xing San and walked towards the east room.

Seeing Zhao Jun and his two companions enter the house, Li Dayong looked at Li Baoyu and asked, "Where is your sixth uncle?"

"My sixth uncle has gone to my uncle Ma's house." Li Baoyu replied, "He has gone to ask for gifts for my brother."

"Fuck!" Li Dayong jumped up from the edge of the kang upon hearing that and said, "Why didn't you tell me? I'll go too!"

As he said that, Li Dayong grabbed the cotton jacket next to him and ran out.

"Are you in time for it?" When Li Baoyu asked this question, Li Dayong had already rushed out of the outer room.

"Brother, can you go?" Li Dayong asked Xing San, and Xing San shook his head.

Watching Li Dayong's back as he walked out, Xing San frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something. Then, Xing San stood up and walked towards the west room. As Li Tongyun eavesdropped, Xing San discussed something with the old lady.

Li Dayong ran out of the Zhao family's yard and ran towards the Ma family.

Fortunately, Wang Qiang and his companions were walking slowly, so when they entered the Ma family courtyard, Li Dayong caught up with them.

Li Dayong, panting, followed Wang Qiang and four others into the Ma family's house.

Just as Ma Yang said, his eldest aunt, eldest uncle, third aunt and third uncle were all here.

They came so early to help the Ma family. As for their children, Ma Ling's cousins, they lived nearby and would come on the two days when the Ma and Zhao families were doing business.

Ma Dafu personally came out to greet them and let Wang Qiang and his friends into the west room. Wang Qiang and his friends sat down, and Wang Cuihua and her two sisters hurriedly made tea for them.

Ma Ling was a girl after all, and she was shy, so she went to hide in the west room. The first thing Ma Dafu said after he sat down was to ask Wang Qiang: "Qiangzi, how is Youcai?"

How can Ma Dafu not be anxious?

With only a few days left before the child's wedding, the father-in-law was scratched by a black bear.

"It's okay, nothing happened." Wang Qiang secretly blamed Zhao Youcai, but his face was full of smiles. He said, "Don't listen to the rumors of the villagers."

Anyway, Zhao Youcai said that he must be there on the day when the Ma family held the event. In that case, Wang Qiang said that he was fine.

When Wang Qiang thought of this, he blamed Zhao Youcai in his heart. If Zhao Youcai didn't come on the day when the Ma family was doing business, it would not be the Ma family who would be lost, but the Zhao family.

What father? It's so ridiculous. Don't you think it's appropriate?

"Ah... it's okay." Upon hearing this, Ma Dafu smiled and said, "I thought I'd go over and take a look after dinner."

"No, no!" Wang Qiang waved his hands and said, "It's nothing, Brother Ma. I won't make any trouble, haha..."

Wang Qiang's words made the Ma family feel relieved. The Ma family was very enthusiastic about the arrival of Wang Qiang and his six companions.

After smoking a cigarette and taking a few sips of tea, Wang Qiang turned around and looked around the room, then asked Ma Dafu, "Brother Ma, my sister and brother-in-law asked us to come over and ask if there's anything missing at home. Don't be polite, we're all family, just say whatever you want."

"Oh." Ma Dafu smiled when he heard this and said, "Look at what happened. It even made my in-laws and mother-in-law worry about it."

After saying this, Ma Dafu shouted to the outer room: "Cuihua, come here."

Wang Cuihua, who had already prepared, hurried into the house, and then heard Ma Dafu ask her: "Cuihua, is there anything missing at home?"

"Oh my!" Wang Cuihua pretended to be surprised and said, "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that we didn't buy an axe or red cloth."

"An axe?" Ma Dafu asked, "What do you want to buy that for?"

"Girls should hold it when they go out." Wang Cuihua said, "One axe can suppress a hundred troubles!"

"Brother Ma, you have to buy this!" Wang Qiang quickly said, "If you need an axe, let's buy it. If you buy it, you won't need it anymore. Isn't this happiness and contentment?"

"Not so good!" Ma Dafu slapped his thigh and turned to Ma Sheng and said, "Boss, go buy some tomorrow."

"Hey, Dad, I got it." Ma Sheng agreed immediately, and then Wang Qiang took out a brand new big unity from his pocket, handed it to Ma Dafu with both hands, and said with a smile: "Brother Ma, my sister and brother-in-law told us before we came here. We must add what is missing at home."

"Okay, brother, haha..." Ma Dafu took the money with a smile and said, "Then let my in-laws and mother-in-law pay for it."

"That's nothing to waste." Wang Qiang said with a smile, "When our daughter comes to our house, we have to treat her well."

"That's great." Ma Dafu took the opportunity to say, "Brother, my family only has this one daughter, and we usually spoil her. If there is anything you can or cannot do in the future, let my in-laws and mother-in-law bear with it."

"Of course, haha." Wang Qiang said with a smile, "We are all family, our own children, no problem."

"Brother, your words are enough." After Ma Dafu finished talking to Wang Qiang, he turned to Wang Cuihua and said, "Cuihua, hurry up and prepare the food. The brothers will eat here tonight."

"No, Brother Ma." Wang Qiang heard this and quickly stood up and said, "There are a lot of things going on back home. We'll come over today to take a look and go back as soon as we're done."

"Let's go now." Ma Dafu kept the guest and said, "Let's eat first."

"Brother Ma, let's come back when the time comes." Wang Qiang said with a smile, "Let's have a good drink that day."

"Okay!" Ma Dafu stood up and said, "Then I'll wait for you."

While Ma Dafu was speaking, Ma Sheng and his two uncles also stood up, got off the kang, and saw Wang Qiang and his party out.

After coming out of the Ma family, Wang Qiang breathed a sigh of relief and asked the people around him, "Am I okay today?"

People are nervous because they care. Wang Qiang definitely treats his eldest nephew's lifelong event as a big deal.

"Okay." Li Dazhi still liked to play with Wang Qiang. He just laughed and said, "I have known you for all these years, and today is the day you show your worth."

"Go to hell!" Wang Qiang glared at Li Dazhi, and then Wang Qiang smiled. Because Li Dazhi praised him, there must be no problem with him.

"Qiangzi." Suddenly, Li Dayong said to Wang Qiang, "Some of the things you said were wrong."

"Ah?" Wang Qiang was shocked when he heard this and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"

At this time, Zhou Jianjun, Lin Xiangshun and others also looked at Li Dayong. They felt that everything Wang Qiang said at the Ma family was correct and was all according to the script.

Then, Li Dayong said seriously: "You always say 'my sister, my brother-in-law', you should put my elder brother first."

Wang Qiang: "..."

Li Dazhi, Lin Xiangshun, Zhou Jianjun, Zhang Yuanmin: "..."

Seeing that Wang Qiang didn't say anything, Li Dayong continued, "My eldest brother is also the head of the family. You are too neglectful... Hey?"

Before Li Dayong could finish his words, he saw Wang Qiang walking quickly forward, leaving the five of them behind.

At this moment, Wang Qiang walked and muttered: "I am lucky to be able to mention him!"
