The whole mountain is my hunting ground

After having enough food and wine, everyone went back to their homes.

When Zhao Jun came back from going to the latrine, Wang Meilan and Zhao Chun were warming their quilts in the east room. They heard Zhao Chun say: "Mom, the beef is delicious today."

"Is it delicious?" Wang Meilan smiled and said, "It's delicious. Mom will stew it for you tomorrow."

At this point, Wang Meilan paused for a moment before continuing: "Yes, tomorrow is Saturday. Jianjun and your father will come over tonight. I have to prepare two good dishes for my uncle."

"Alas!" Upon hearing that his man was coming, Zhao Chun sighed and said, "Mom, I haven't thought about going back with him yet."

"Then don't go back." Wang Meilan said directly without thinking, "We also have a place at home, so you can live there."

"That won't work!" Zhao Chun let out a long breath and said helplessly: "Last time I came here, he told me to go back with him."

Northeastern women are strong, but they will consider their men and care about what their men say.

"Sister!" At this time, Zhao Jun walked in, sat sideways on the edge of the kang, hugged Zhao Na who was playing with dolls at the side, and then said to Zhao Chun: "It's okay, if you are happy to be here, just follow me Please stay with your nephew. My brother-in-law will settle the mess for you."

"Huh?" After hearing Zhao Jun's words, Zhao Chun and Wang Meilan both looked at him. Zhao Chun even asked expectantly: "How do you settle it?"

"He will come tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I will take him to Dongdagou to catch fish." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Isn't this what my brother-in-law is good at?"

Zhou Jianjun doesn't like hunting, but he likes fishing and fishing.

"What about after you've picked out the fish?" After hearing this, Zhao Chun couldn't help but feel a little discouraged and said, "Don't you have to go back after you've picked out the fish?"

"Haha..." Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this, reached out and took the little cloth bear in Zhao Na's hand, gently pressed the little cloth bear's face against Zhao Na's face and rubbed it, making the little girl laugh out loud.

Zhao Jun casually returned the little bear to Zhao Na, and then said to Zhao Chun: "I went to Brother Zhang's house yesterday to get a chainsaw blade for Gu Yang, and I saw that he had a floor cage in his warehouse."

Saying that, Zhao Jun smiled, and then Zhao Chun also smiled.

Two siblings, one has big eyes and the other has small eyes. The big eye smiles like a crescent moon, while the small eye is completely closed.

"When I get up early and have dinner, I will take him to fish out." Zhao Jun said, "Come back at noon, have lunch, and then go down to the cage in the afternoon."

With that said, Zhao Jun looked at Wang Meilan and said: "It's done, Mom, you guys can squeeze out all the fish we picked out in the morning at home in the afternoon, make sauce for what needs to be sauced, and fry what needs to be fried. When we come back in the evening, we will put it on the table for dinner. .”

"Yes!" At this time, Wang Meilan also understood. She smiled and said to Zhao Chun: "The cage is finished, let him come back next week!"

The ground cage is not something that can be set up on the same day. Moreover, the Zhao family did not do this to eat fish, but to let Zhou Jianjun come back next week.

"Okay!" Zhao Chun smiled and patted Zhao Jun on the shoulder and said, "Brother, just do it!"

"Yeah!" Wang Meilan was also very happy when she heard that her eldest daughter and grandson could stay at home for another week, and said with a smile: "On Monday, we will grind tofu."

As she said that, she patted Zhao Chun's hand and said, "Mom will make some small tofu for you to eat when the time comes."

"Yeah!" Zhao Chun nodded repeatedly, and Zhao Jun said to Wang Meilan, "Mom, don't forget, I will eat tofu to cure my mother."

"That's all easy to prepare." Wang Meilan waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "Let's prepare the tofu, small tofu, large tofu, and dried tofu, and everyone can eat as you like."

"Mom, look." Zhao Jun raised his hand and pointed toward the back of the house and said, "Is this the right donkey to keep? We have a family like this that has to be left to work, what can we do?"

"Okay, Mom knows." Everything Wang Meilan said at home mattered, but the killing of the donkey was obstructed by everyone in every possible way.

After comforting the eldest sister and saving the donkey's life, Zhao Jun returned to the west room from the east room with satisfaction. When he pushed the door open and entered the house, he saw Zhao Youcai sitting on the kang, rubbing the leopard skin that Zhao Jun had brought back.

Since Zhao Jun shot his head with one shot, this leopard skin was simply perfect, much stronger than the one Zhao Youcai shot.

In addition, the leopard Zhao Jun hunted was male and weighed about 80 kilograms during his lifetime. The leopard Zhao Youcai shot was a female leopard, which was much smaller than the one Zhao Jun shot.

"Huh?" Seeing Zhao Jun come in, Zhao Youcai pointed his hand at the leopard skin and asked Zhao Jun: "You led the dog, so before you shot, the dog didn't bite it?"

"No." Zhao Jun replied with a smile.

"What's going on?" Zhao Youcai asked.

"The dogs have been trained." Zhao Jun smiled and sat sideways on the edge of the kang. He reached out and touched the leopard skin. He raised his head and asked Zhao Youcai, "Dad, how are you doing?"

"It's very good." Zhao Youcai praised Zhao Jun in a rare way, and then asked: "Tell Dad, how do you know how to handle dogs so well?"

"What are you playing with?" Zhao Jun said with a smile: "The dog is smart and has seen more battles. The more he works, the better he becomes."

Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Zhao Youcai nodded, rolled up the leopard skin casually, and asked Zhao Jun: "Are you still going up the mountain tomorrow?"

"No way!" Zhao Jun pointed to the leopard skin roll in Zhao Youcai's hand and said with a smile: "Isn't this piece of skin enough to get through? I'm leaving home to rest for a few days."

"Okay." Hearing Zhao Jun say that he would rest for a few days, Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up and he said, "Then we will rest the day after tomorrow. I will take the dog for a walk up the mountain."

"Huh?" Zhao Jun was startled when he heard this. He opened his mouth and wanted to mention it but did not dare to mention the last time Zhao Youcai took the dog out to slaughter the cow.

Seeing that Zhao Jun was silent, Zhao Youcai said, "Uncle Li and your second brother are coming with me. Your second brother is a good drag dog."

"Haha." Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Zhao Jun didn't say anything, just laughed.

But for some reason, Zhao Youcai felt unhappy when Zhao Jun laughed at him.

At this time, Zhao Jun turned sideways and lifted his legs. While taking off his shoes, he muttered: "If you put cotton trousers on leather trousers, you must have a set. Either the cotton trousers are thin, or the leather trousers are hairless!"

"What are you mumbling about?" Zhao Youcai suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Jun, feeling that what this kid just said was not a good thing.

"No, no." Zhao Jun chuckled and comforted Zhao Youcai by saying, "Just say a few words."

"Don't mess with that evil order!" Zhao Youcai glared at Zhao Jun, stood up and stuffed the leopard skin on the kang cabinet.

The two of them got into bed, turned off the lights and went to sleep. The next day was Saturday, December 5, 1987.

Just after three o'clock, before dawn, Zhao Youcai woke up.

He quietly lifted the quilt and when he sat up from the quilt, he startled the little lynx sleeping between his and Zhao Jun's pillows.

The little lynx was awakened, and instantly jumped on Zhao Jun, and woke up Zhao Jun who was dreaming of marrying a wife.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Jun vaguely thought that the little lynx was cold, so he immediately hugged the little lynx around the waist with one hand, lifted the quilt with the other hand and stuffed the little lynx in.

The little lynx, who had entered the bed, turned around and stuck his head out of the bed, resting his warm and comfortable pillow on Zhao Jun's arm.

Today is the fifteenth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, when the moon is full. Zhao Jun saw the darkness next to him through the moonlight coming through the window. He was immediately startled. He stretched out his hand from the quilt again and touched it. He touched Zhao Youcai who was wearing clothes.

"Dad, what are you doing up so early?" Zhao Jun asked.

"Go to the latrine." Zhao Youcai said, "I couldn't eat well last night."

"Did you eat too much?" Zhao Jun asked again.

Zhao Youcai was very happy after catching a leopard yesterday. He shook his cheeks and had a hard meal. He didn't eat beef every time he made it before, and he didn't eat less last night.

"Get out of here!" Zhao Youcai scolded, "You think you're dead, why don't you care about me!"

Zhao Jun pouted, put his hands under the quilt, closed his eyes and prepared to go back to sleep.

Zhao Youcai put on his cotton clothes and trousers, got off the kang, put on his shoes and left the house.

When Zhao Youcai went out from the house, all the dogs in the yard were standing outside the kennel, and they all looked at the Li family next door.

Zhao Youcai came to the front and said softly "Hmm".

The next second, a dark shadow flashed out from behind the pile of firewood in the Li family's yard.

"Brother!" Li Dayong came forward with his hands in his sleeves. When he took his hands out of his sleeves, he was holding a handful of money in his hands.

"Here you go!" Li Dayong handed the money to Zhao Youcai across the wall and said, "I just dug it out from the pile of firewood. This is two hundred. I'll get you another two hundred when I get to work."

Last year, Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong failed to embezzle and sell bear bile and lynx skins, which led to the exposure of the money they hid in their cotton-padded jackets.

But Cunning Rabbit Sancao, Zhao Youcai still has a sum of money stored with Han Daming. Li Dayong hid part of the money in his firewood pile and put the other part in his work unit.

Zhao Youcai asked Li Dayong to borrow money last night. He was afraid that others would see him, so the two brothers got up early and came out to do this.

"Okay!" Zhao Youcai took the money, held it in his hand, and said to Li Dayong, "Brothers, it's better for us two. When I sell the leopard skin, I'll give you more."

"Oh!" Li Dayong chuckled softly: "Brother, if you are telling your brother this, who in this forest area doesn't know how good we are?"

Hearing Li Dayong's words, Zhao Youcai grinned, and then Li Dayong asked again: "Brother, is four hundred enough?"

"That's enough!" Zhao Youcai gritted his teeth and said, "I still have four hundred left with you, and with your four hundred, I'll stop Zhou Chengguo's gun money today."

Although the semi-automatic gun is no longer in Zhao Youcai's hands, the money owed to Zhou Chengguo for the gun must be repaid. In particular, when he returned to the forest farm from the mountains yesterday, Zhao Youcai was the first to go to the equipment team and give Zhou Chengguo a good shout.

"Brother, are everything arranged well?" Li Dayong was not afraid of the cold outside and said to Zhao Youcai with concern: "We can't make any mistakes."

"No, brother, don't worry..."

"Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof..."

Before Zhao Youcai finished speaking, he was interrupted by a fierce barking of a dog. The green tiger pulled the chain and barked at Zhao Youcai.

Although this old dog is old, his bark is extremely loud.

It was already quiet at around three o'clock in the morning, but its barking immediately woke up all the adults in the room.

Seeing that something was not going well, Zhao Youcai hurriedly waved his hand to Li Dayong, and then ran to his door.

"Woof! Woof! Woof..."

As soon as Zhao Youcai ran away, the green tiger screamed even more happily.

"Stop yelling!" Zhao Youcai pointed back at the green tiger as he ran, and shouted in a low voice: "If you yell again, I'll kill you!"

It was a good thing that Zhao Youcai didn't yell. As soon as he said his threatening words, Qinghuo seemed to understand. He stretched his chain and continued to roar at Zhao Youcai.

When Zhao Youcai was driven into the house by Qinghuo, he happened to catch up with Wang Meilan coming out of the east room wearing a cotton-padded jacket.

Hearing the dogs barking outside, Wang Meilan was afraid that bad guys were coming, so she stood at the door of the east room and shouted to the west room: "His dad! His dad!"

Just as Wang Meilan shouted twice, the door to her home was pulled open from the outside. Wang Meilan suddenly thought that an outsider had entered the house and was startled.

"You wicked person! You scared me to death!" Seeing clearly that it was Zhao Youcai, Wang Meilan rushed over and punched Zhao Youcai twice on the shoulder.

It didn't hurt much after being punched twice, but Zhao Youcai felt guilty. He had two hundred yuan of unknown origin in his pocket, and it would be difficult to explain it to Wang Meilan if he found out.

"What are you afraid of?" Zhao Youcai smiled at Wang Meilan and said, "I felt sick in my stomach, so I got up and went to the hut. The dog was wicked and barked endlessly."

"Which dog?" Wang Meilan heard this and subconsciously looked out through the window, but it was pitch dark outside the window and she couldn't see anything clearly.

These dogs at home are very smart, they know when to bark and when not to bark. Usually when Wang Meilan gets up early and goes to the tofu shop to buy dry tofu or soybean tofu, they never bark.

"The new green tiger I bought." Zhao Youcai said: "It's not mature yet, maybe."

"You can pull him down." Wang Meilan looked sideways at Zhao Youcai and said, "That dog is an honest dog. It usually doesn't make a sound. Why did you bark at it as soon as you went out?"

After saying this, Wang Meilan looked Zhao Youcai up and down and asked, "Did you stab me?"

"No!" Zhao Youcai said anxiously: "If I leave it to my own house, what can I do? How can I steal things from your house?"

Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Wang Meilan looked away from him, but then she remembered something and hurriedly asked Zhao Youcai: "Huh? By the way, I forgot to ask you, did you get a refund for the forty yuan you paid for the mallet? "

"No." Zhao Youcai felt uncomfortable because he didn't have the money to refund Wang Meilan, so he said, "The cafeteria was busy yesterday, so I didn't have time to go out."

"Okay." Wang Meilan didn't seem to care, but just when Zhao Youcai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Meilan said: "Then you have a rest tomorrow. You can go and give the money and get it back."

Zhao Youcai: "..."

"Lan Na!" Zhao Youcai thought for a while and said to Wang Meilan: "My son said he would stay at home for two days. I thought he wouldn't go up the mountain, so I'll go."

"Are you going?" Wang Meilan blinked and looked at Zhao Youcai and said, "You do something useful first, then go and give me the money and ask for it back."

"Qian, I'll go there the day after tomorrow." Zhao Youcai said, "I'll go up the mountain tomorrow and I'll fix whatever I can."

At this point, Zhao Youcai felt that Wang Meilan had not wavered, so he quickly added: "I will definitely get the forty yuan back to you after get off work the day after tomorrow."

Zhao Youcai made a good calculation and wanted to go up the mountain to catch wild boars tomorrow and sell them to statistics Liu Renshan, guard Hong Yuntao or dispatcher Wu Feng. After taking the money, he paid Wang Meilan the bill.

"Okay!" Wang Meilan curled her lips slightly and waved her hand: "If you are willing to go, you can go."

Zhao Youcai was very happy to hear that Wang Meilan agreed to go up the mountain tomorrow, but then he heard Wang Meilan say: "Anyway, I have thought about it. No matter what you are hunting, our family will eat meat."

"Huh?" Zhao Youcai felt that what Wang Meilan said was not very friendly, but Wang Meilan glanced at him and explained: "I mean, no matter whether you are hunting a black man, a wild boar, or a roe deer, aren't we the ones who eat it?"

It was okay that Wang Meilan didn't explain. Once she explained, Zhao Youcai heard it even more unpleasantly, but he found that he couldn't find anything wrong with Wang Meilan's words.
