The whole mountain is my hunting ground

When Zhao Youcai said he could buy a mallet and quoted a price, neither Zhao Jun nor Wang Meilan suspected that there was something fishy about it.

"Fifty..." Zhao Jun frowned slightly, glanced at the trembling Black Tiger lying on the bed, then looked at Wang Meilan and said, "It's not expensive!"

"Son, you figure it out." Wang Meilan touched the black tiger's head and said to Zhao Jun: "If possible, we can buy another seedling for the tiger."

After saying this, Wang Meilan held the black tiger's head in both hands, scratched its chin and said, "The tiger has come to our house and has done a lot for us this year."

Wang Meilan said this, but she was actually looking for a reason to buy ginseng for Black Tiger.

And after hearing what she said, Zhao Jun immediately nodded and said to Zhao Youcai: "Dad, then you can see how to give Hu Zi Zhang Luo Miao a stick."

"Hey! Okay!" Zhao Youcai agreed without even thinking about it.

"Mom, then I'll go back and get some more plaster for Black Tiger." After Zhao Jun finished speaking, Wang Meilan said, "You find a basin for him to drink water from, and then give him a bowl of chicken soup when you're done."

When Wang Meilan mentioned the word "chicken soup", Heihu raised his head subconsciously, but as soon as he rolled his eyes, he lowered his head again.

No one noticed Black Tiger's little move. Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai, Jie Chen, Zhao Chun, and the old lady came out of the house and walked back to Zhao's house through the courtyard gate.

At this time, the old lady was cleaning the rice, and Jie Chen was busy fetching water. The old lady took Zhao Chun and Jie Sun to wash the big basin and weave the basket first.

Zhao Jun did not participate in the labor, but followed Wang Meilan's instructions and went to the warehouse to get the basin from which Black Tiger usually drank water.

As soon as he came out of the warehouse, he saw Zhao Youcai coming over with the little helmet containing chicken soup. He came to Zhao Jun and said, "This soup is still congealed. Can it be done?"

Domestic hens are not as big as roosters, but they are heavier than roosters. This is because there are large pieces of chicken fat in the hen's belly, just like pork suet.

When making soup for Black Tiger, Wang Meilan put a palm-sized amount of chicken fat in the soup. The soup was oily and watery, and would solidify when it got cold.

"Then wait for a while." Zhao Jun said: "Dad, put a spoonful of it in this basin and put it under the fire wall to keep it warm."

"Okay!" Zhao Youcai responded. After taking Black Tiger's dog food bowl from Zhao Jun, he looked directly at Zhao Jun.

"Huh?" Zhao Jun was startled and asked, "Dad, are you okay?"

"Tsk!" Zhao Youcai moved his head back, glared at Zhao Jun and said, "Give me the money."

"Money?" Zhao Jun didn't react for a while and blurted out: "What money?"

Zhao Youcai curled his lips when asked by Zhao Jun and said angrily: "What money are you talking about? It's just money to buy a mallet!"

"Ah... buy a mallet." Zhao Jun reacted and immediately said with a smile: "Dad, then you get dressed and we can go?"

"Ah?" This time it was Zhao Youcai's turn to be puzzled. He was stunned for a moment and then heard Zhao Jun say: "I'll drive up the mountain in a while. You come with me. When we're done, we can go to his shack and buy something."

Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Zhao Youcai's eyes widened.

"Dad, who are you?" Seeing that Zhao Youcai didn't say anything, Zhao Jun remembered that Zhao Youcai was ill last night, so he quickly changed his words and said, "I don't know you? If you don't want to move, just tell me where to put it. That's it." I passed by myself.”

"No..." Zhao Jun's words made Zhao Youcai a little flustered. How could he know the old mountain dog carrying the stick?

Besides, it’s almost December now. Who wouldn’t exchange the mallet that was carried out earlier for money?

And Zhao Youcai said that because he and Zhao Jun had squinted a seedling when they went to Laotunzi to carry ginseng.

At that time, Zhao Youcai escaped by urinating and buried the ginseng behind the back slope of Laotunzi. Not long after, he secretly dug out the ginseng seedlings.

Then, Zhao Youcai used special means to process the ginseng seedlings. And it was this seedling that he wanted to sell to Zhao Jun.

Therefore, Zhao Youcai could not take Zhao Jun to buy ginseng, let alone let Zhao Jun go by himself.

"Then..." Zhao Youcai waved his hand and said, "Well...we'll go up there without warning, and he won't necessarily leave it there. If I ask, you don't have to worry about it. Just give me the money."

"Dad, you're going to work tomorrow, why did you go up the mountain to buy a mallet from him?" Zhao Jun asked in confusion.

"I'm not too busy at work." Zhao Youcai said, "The day after tomorrow at the latest, I got the stick back."

"Ah, that's okay!" Zhao Jun had no doubts about Zhao Youcai's words. He didn't think Zhao Youcai could do anything but refuse to accept the money, so he took out the stack of unity from his pocket and counted out five cards. Gave it to Zhao Youcai.

Boss Zhao is usually a very cold person, but when he sees money, a smile spreads across his face unconsciously.

But just when Zhao Youcai got the money, the green tiger rushed out of the kennel in the west and barked fiercely at Zhao Youcai.

"Woof! Woof! Woof..."

Zhao Youcai, who was immersed in the joy of getting rich, was startled by the sudden barking of a dog.

Zhao Jun was also frightened. He looked at the green tiger and yelled: "Tiger! What are you doing?"

"Woof! Woof! Woof..." The green tiger pulled the chain and roared fiercely at Zhao Youcai.

"This dog is so wicked!" Zhao Youcai was angry and scolded Qinghu: "I just fed you Qian'er, why didn't you bite me?"

After saying this, Zhao Youcai rolled his eyes at Qinghuo and continued amidst the barking of the dog: "You can't tell a good person from a bad guy!"

Then, Zhao Youcai ignored Qinghuo and turned around and walked back into the house.

As soon as he left, before Zhao Youcai could enter the house, the green tiger became quiet. The old dog wagged its tail at Zhao Jun, turned around and went back to his den.

Zhao Jun glanced at the back of Green Tiger and then at the back of Zhao Youcai, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

But Zhao Jun would never have imagined what Zhao Youcai wanted to do. It was getting late now, so Zhao Jun went into the house to pack his things.

After Zhao Jun changed his clothes, he took the measuring tool and a semi-automatic rifle.

Then, Zhao Jun asked Jie Chen, who was cleaning rice, to come out of the house with him, and the two of them worked together to lift the wild boar behind the house into the car.

By the way, there was also the iron cage containing the rats, which Zhao Jun placed in the trunk.

After taking everything he should take, Zhao Jun started the car and left home for Yongshengtun.

When Zhao Jun arrived outside Zhou's courtyard, Hu Sanmei was sitting on her kang, folding her children's clothes.

She missed her grandson.

Suddenly, a car horn sounded outside the house, and Hu Sanmei raised her eyes and looked outside.

When she saw the Jiefang car, Hu Sanmei jumped up from the kang, pulled on her cotton-padded shoes and ran out.

Because I was so anxious, I almost lost my cotton shoes.

When Hu Sanmei went outside and looked at Zhao Jun who got out of the car, Hu Sanmei stretched her neck and took a look, then the smile on her face solidified.

But the next second, when she heard Zhao Jun greeting her, Hu Sanmei had to pretend to smile in response to Zhao Jun.

"Auntie!" Zhao Jun looked around, and then said to Hu Sanmei: "Whose old man is at home? You can call him to help."

With that said, Zhao Jun pointed to the car and said, "Send a wild boar to my brother-in-law."

"Oh, why are you giving us wild boars again?" Hu Sanmei said gratefully, "You have done a lot of favors for us this year."

Hu Sanmei knew that the wild boar could help her family make connections, but she wanted her grandson to come back more than the wild boar.

"Auntie, why are we being so polite to our own family?" Zhao Jun said with a smile, "See if you can find someone to carry it down with me."

"Hey, just wait!" Hu Sanmei hurriedly ran to the west courtyard and came back soon with two men, an old man and a young man.

"Uncle Xue!" Zhao Jun looked at the two men and hurriedly greeted them respectively: "Fourth brother!"

These two people are father and son. The eldest is Xue Wanyou, and the younger is Xue Wanyou’s fourth son, Xue Zhongjie.

"Young man!" Xue Wanyou raised his hand to Zhao Jun and said with a smile: "Your sister doesn't leave home, but she still gives things to your brother-in-law?"

The old man made a wisecrack, which made Hu Sanmei laugh and scold: "Old man, why do you talk so much?"

Zhao Jun also felt that it was difficult to answer Xue Wanyou's words, so he just looked at each other and smiled at Xue Zhongjie.

When Xue Zhongjie went to the trunk and took a look, he was shocked and looked at Zhao Jun and said, "Brother, I'm just wondering, how can you catch anything alive?"

Previously, Zhao Jun brought live wild boar and live roe deer to the Zhou family, and the Xue family, as neighbors, would definitely see it. In fact, they were not the only ones curious, the entire forest area was curious about how Zhao Jun did it.

"Haha, dogs are easy to work with." Zhao Jun smiled lightly and found an excuse to be vague. And Xue Zhongjie is not an annoying person. He asked purely out of curiosity and surprise, and did not intend to get to the bottom of it.

With the help of the Xue family and his son, Zhao Jun transported the wild boar to the Zhou family's warehouse.

Putting the wild boar down, Xue Wanyou raised his foot and lightly kicked the wild boar's buttocks. Looking at the wild boar's trembling buttocks, he said, "This pig is good."

After saying this, Xue Wanyou turned to look at Hu Sanmei and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, why did you kill a pig before and treat us to meat?"

"Go to the other side!" All the old neighbors were talking and laughing. Hu Sanmei was not angry. She just smiled and waved to Xue Wanyi and said: "Didn't you eat the meat that time when you killed the pig?"

"Haha..." Old Boss Xue laughed and said, "Isn't that that time?"

"How many times do you want to have more? Why are you so greedy?" Hu Sanmei glared at Xue Wanyou and said with a smile: "I can't give this to you, I have to give it away."

"Don't give up!" Xue Wanyou turned around and waved to Xue Zhongjie, saying: "Let's go home."

"Are you leaving?" Out of politeness, Hu Sanmei asked casually, and then heard Xue Wanyou say: "What are you doing if you don't leave? You won't even eat the pork."

"You old guy!" Hu Sanmei scolded with a smile, and then said: "Then I won't let you guys go. I want to tell you something."

"Okay!" Xue Wanyou said: "My eldest brother will stay at your house after we finish. Jianjun will still go to work during the day. If anything happens to you, just come and call us."

Let's talk about it, let's make trouble again. We have been neighbors for so many years, and we are absolutely unambiguous when it comes to matters.

"Yeah!" Hu Sanmei smiled and said, "I can't run away from you if something happens."

After saying that, Hu Sanmei waved to Xue Zhongjie and said, "Thank you Si'er!"

"Oh, aunt!" Xue Zhongjie smiled and said, "Why should we be so polite?"

After watching the Xue family and his son leave, Hu Sanmei asked Zhao Jun to follow her into the house. Just now, Zhao Jun heard that Hu Sanmei told Xue Wanyou and Xue Zhongjie that he had something to do with him, and he also had something to do with Hu Sanmei, so he followed Hu Sanmei into the house.

After entering the house, Hu Sanmei Zhang Luo wanted to pour water for Zhao Jun, but Zhao Jun declined.

"Auntie, don't bother your family." Zhao Jun said: "My dad asked you, does our family have a distribution map of the old logging area of ​​the forest farm?"

"Yes!" Hu Sanmei answered cheerfully and asked, "Does your dad want it?"

"He wants it." Zhao Jun said, "Auntie, please find one."

"It's easy to find." Hu Sanmei waved her hand and said, "Get it outside."

When Hu Sanmei said outside, she did not mean the yard, but the warehouse outside.

Zhao Jun nodded when he heard this, and then asked Hu Sanmei: "Auntie, you just said you had something to tell me, what is it?"

"Oh!" Hu Sanmei sighed softly, casually took the children's clothes folded aside, and said to Zhao Jun: "You are here just in time. I want you to take these clothes to Zhou Zhou." Chun'er took the child and left. , I didn’t say that I would be there for so many days, so I was not fully prepared. I was afraid that the child would have to pee or something and wouldn’t be changed.”

"No need, aunt." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "I went down the mountain a while ago and brought back a lot of cloth from the city. My mother has been making a lot of clothes for my nephew these days."

When Hu Sanmei heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She was not afraid of anything else, but that her grandson would be too happy to be in his grandma's house.

"Um..." Hu Sanmei hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Can't the child cause trouble when he comes home?"

When she asked, Zhao Jun understood that the little old lady was anxious to get her grandson back, and immediately smiled and said: "That's fine, I won't do it. After the forest farm has a holiday this week, my brother-in-law will come to our place. I will go to our place on Sunday." Just drive back to them."

"Ah..." Hu Sanmei was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Did your sister come back?"

"Ah!" Zhao Jun nodded and said, "My brother-in-law said he would pick them up on Saturday."

Zhao Jun didn't know what happened between the couple. He only heard from Zhou Jianjun yesterday morning that he would go pick up Zhao Chun and his children this Saturday.

"What did you say before?" Hu Sanmei asked.

"Yesterday morning." Zhao Jun said, "I said it before dinner."

"Before dinner..." Hu Sanmei couldn't help but grit her teeth when she heard this, and clenched her fists tightly on the kang table.

When Zhou Jianjun got home yesterday, he didn't dare to tell Hu Sanmei that it was because he didn't buy anything and made Zhao Chun angry that the two of them didn't come back with him.

All he said was that the original plan was to go up the mountain during the day yesterday and then come back as a family of three last night. But on the way up the mountain, he met Li Daguai. Although he had been outside Yong'an Village before returning to Yongsheng, because Li Daguai was in the car, he was afraid that his children would be contaminated, so he did not take Zhao Chun and his children.

In other words, if the son lies to his mother, he will always lie to his mother.

Hearing what Zhou Jianjun said, Hu Sanmei did not complain. After all, the deceased was the eldest, so Hu Sanmei would have accepted it if she didn't pick up the child because she was concerned about Li Daguai.

But when Zhao Jun said that Zhou Jianjun had decided yesterday morning to pick up the child this Saturday, Hu Sanmei knew that she had been deceived by her son.

Hu Sanmei, who missed her grandson so much, was so angry that she wanted to give her son fifty yuan the day before yesterday and ask him to go to his in-laws' home to pick up his grandson. As a result, didn't he lose his grandson and lose his fortune?

At this moment, Zhao Jun, who was sitting opposite Hu Sanmei, felt that something was wrong with the little old lady.

Hu Sanmei's cheeks were tense and her eyes were looking straight at the wall behind her. Zhao Jun subconsciously looked back and saw nothing on the wall, so he called softly: "Auntie!"

"Ah?" When Hu Sanmei came back to her senses, her thoughts were confused for a moment, and she subconsciously said to Zhao Jun: "The morning before yesterday, your brother-in-law said that he would come to your place in the evening. I asked him to buy apples for my biological mother. I don't know if he bought them. ?”

That's what Hu Sanmei said. Zhou Jianjun told her about buying apples when she asked about it this morning.

"Auntie, you have your own family, why should you buy it?" As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Hu Sanmei's eyes widened instantly, because Zhao Jun said this, which meant that Zhou Jianjun did not buy it.

Seeing that Hu Sanmei looked wrong, Zhao Jun hurriedly explained to Zhou Jianjun: "My dad said when he got home, my brother-in-law bumped into him before buying something, and my dad didn't let him buy it."

Hu Sanmei: "..."
