The whole mountain is my hunting ground

At this moment, Zhao Youcai was a little confused. He came down from the mountain early in the morning before dawn, and went directly to the gangster village to find Zhang Lifu. He told Zhang Lifu to drive the sledge up the mountain at dawn and pick up the cattle at No. 27 Lingchang.

After pulling down the dead big green pig, transport it directly to Zhang Lifu's house to skin and remove the meat. Then Zhang Lifu takes the meat to the market and sells it for money.

Zhao Baotou did not show up during the whole process, so as to avoid as much as possible the fact that he slaughtered the cow for the second time from being known.

In this way, Zhao Youcai not only saved face, but also recovered part of his capital.

Zhang Lifu was Zhao Youcai's old brother for many years, and his obedience to Chief Zhao was not lower than that of Li Dayong, but much higher than that of Wang Qiang. It stands to reason that when he works for Zhao Youcai, there will be no mistakes.

But at this time, Zhao Youcai had a bad feeling. He was afraid that the person coming was not Zhang Lifu.

Because according to what Ma Dafu just said, the person who sent the cattle couldn't find the location of the Zhao family, so this was not Zhang Lifu.

Zhao Youcai walked toward the door with doubts in his mind. Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan who were following him looked at each other, and they curled their lips in unison.

When Zhao Youcai arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, a sledge stopped in front of him.

The person driving the sledge was Liu Er, the investor who met Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng when they went up the mountain the day before yesterday.

There was an ox lying on the sledge and a person sitting there. The ox was the one that Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng shot, and the man was Fan Tiangui.

They came down from the mountain at dawn and sent Tang Xiaomin, Lin Weilong, and Lin Weihu to the train station next to Daji. Then, they took the cattle and rushed to Yong'an Tun.

Because they were walking on a different road, Fan Tiangui and the others did not meet Zhang Lifu. At this time, Zhang Lifu, who had missed the opportunity, was looking for someone to inquire about cattle in the 27th farm.

"Second brothers." Fan Tiangui stood up from the sledge, greeted Zhao Youcai warmly, and said, "Are you going home?"

Zhao Youcai twitched the corner of his mouth. At this moment, he wanted to kill Fan Tiangui with a hammer.

"Brother." After Fan Tiangui finished speaking, Liu Erweng said hello to Zhao Youcai angrily.

"Huh?" Looking at this man, Zhao Youcai couldn't help but frown and asked, "Brother, are you...why do I look so confused on your face?"

The tenant was startled when he heard this, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Brother, don't you remember me? That day, you and the fat man went to the northwest poplar forest, the way I pointed out to you."

"Ah..." After hearing what he said, Zhao Youcai remembered it instantly, but before Zhao Youcai could speak, the tenant continued: "Brother, you said you were relying on me that day. If I don't show you the way, you It won’t be beaten to death by Lao Lin’s cattle.”

Zhao Youcai: "..."

Zhao Jun, Wang Meilan: "..."

Ma Dafu and Wang Cuihua looked at each other, but they were shocked by Liu Er's words.

"My in-laws killed a cow again?" Ma Dafu looked at Zhao Youcai with shock in his eyes. Zhao Youcai's last "feat" of slaughtering cows spread throughout the Yong'an Forest District. How long has it been? It's only been about a month, and yet again. A cow died by Zhao Youcai's gun.

As soon as Liu Er's words came out, Zhao Youcai looked at Ma Dafu with a little shame. When he met Ma Dafu's strange eyes, Zhao Youcai wanted to die.

"We brought this cow to you." Liu Er couldn't tell the difference between his eyebrows and continued: "We didn't touch a single bit of the meat or anything like that. After that... all the water and other things were put in it. That’s it, big brother, you shot the tripe, and something leaked out and buried Batai’s body.”

"Okay, brother." Zhao Youcai stopped Liu Er, and then said to him and Fan Tiangui: "Brother Fan, let's go into the house."

"Yes, it's warm in the house. It's warm." Wang Meilan also went into the house and said, "After that, I'll prepare a few dishes and put them here to eat at noon."

"No, no." Fan Tiangui hurriedly declined and said, "We have to go back. There is still work in the factory."

The conditions at home for these tenants working in the mountains are not good. After all, if you have good conditions, you won’t come out to do this.

But people are poor but ambitious, and most of these people abide by the rules. Unless they are relatives and friends, they will not go to other people's homes easily.

Because I had to work in the mountains and live in a shack, my clothes were too outdated. They haven't bathed for a long time, their hair is full of lice, and the gaps in the quilted jackets and cotton-padded jackets are full of white lice.

In addition, after walking around cows and horses for a long time, they all smell bad, so tenants rarely enter other people's homes.

Hearing that Fan Tiangui rejected the Zhao family's invitation, Liu Er waved his hand and said to Zhao Youcai: "Brother, we won't go in. Just bring the cow to you."

It's okay if he didn't say this. When he said this, Zhao Youcai felt quite heartbroken.

Seeing that the two of them were determined to leave, Wang Meilan hurriedly urged Zhao Jun and said, "Son, hurry up and see if there is dry food in the big vat. I'll get you a pack for Uncle Fan and the others."

Finish talking to Zhao Jun. Wang Meilan turned to Fan Tiangui and Liu Er and said, "Brother Fan, can you and this brother have a meal at our house?"

Fan and Liu declined again. Not long after, Zhao Jun came out of the room with a butter paper bag and two packets of cigarettes. I gave them dry food and cigarettes.

Fan and Liu did not enter the house, but accepted cigarettes and dry food from the Zhao family. Then, with the help of the two men, five men, Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai, and Ma Dafu, pulled Da Qinggu off the sledge and dragged him into the Zhao courtyard.

At this time, the Zhao family's house was full of people lying in front of the windowsills of the east and west rooms. However, when Zhao Jun came in just now, he asked them to go out later, so everyone was watching the fun in the house.

After seeing off the "kind-hearted" Fan and Liu, Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan welcomed Ma Dafu and Wang Cuihua into the house. After greeting each other, Zhao Youcai looked at Lin Xiangshun and said: "Shunzi, you guys, hurry up and give me The old cow grabbed the back of the house and ripped it off."

That's right in front of the courtyard. It's not good for people to see people coming and going, so it's only right to drag them to the backyard as soon as possible.

As soon as Lin Xiangshun agreed, Wang Meilan said: "Take out the good meat and leave it alone for us to eat."

After saying that, Wang Meilan turned to Ma Dafu and Wang Cuihua and said, "My parents-in-law, my mother-in-law, you are not walking today. You will stay here to eat at noon and evening."

"No, no." Wang Cuihua shook her head and said, "My daughter is cooking at home. We have to go back soon."

"Yes." Ma Dafu continued, and gestured to Zhao Youcai, saying: "I didn't look at my in-laws during the meeting today. Afterwards, I heard that my in-laws were not easy to deal with, so your in-laws and I came here."

"Come here and don't leave." Wang Meilan said, turning to Zhao Jun and saying: "Son, go to your Uncle Ma's house and pick up Ling'er and Xiao Ma Yang."

At this time, Ma Dafu and Wang Cuihua, who were "sheep entering the tiger's mouth", couldn't leave even if they wanted to. They were kept in the house by Zhao Youcai, Wang Meilan, Wang Qiang, Li Dayong, the old lady, and Xie Sun.

Jin Xiaomei, Zhao Ling, Xu Chunyan and Liu Lanying took out the basin with knives and followed Lin Xiangshun, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen out to skin and unload the cattle.

Zhao Jun went to Ma Ling's house to pick up the two sisters, while Zhao Weipeng came out of the house to watch the fun.

Zhao Weipeng didn't know how the cow got to Zhao Jun's house, but he had already accepted his fate. On second thought, it would be a good thing to have beef to eat at night.

When Zhao Jun arrived at Ma's house, Ma Ling was the only one peeling potatoes at home. As for Ma Yang, Ma Ling said that he went to a classmate's house to do homework.

But Zhao Jun sneered at this. He guessed that 80% of the time the kid went to the land to hunt pheasants and mountain rabbits.

When Zhao Jun asked her to come over for dinner, Ma Ling refused at first, but she couldn't resist Zhao Jun's persuasion, so she left a note in Ma Yang's house, and then the two of them walked to Zhao Jun's house.

There is strength in numbers. When Zhao Jun returned from Ma's house, the cowhide had been peeled off.

At this time, Jin Xiaomei and the others were carving meat. After Zhao Jun brought Ma Ling over, Ma Ling wanted to help, but Zhao Ling forced her back into the house.

How can I let others work if my little daughter-in-law is not married? You have to work, don't be anxious, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

After Zhao Jun and Ma Ling entered the house, Wang Meilan pulled Ma Ling to her side. Wang Meilan was still very satisfied with this daughter-in-law. Of course, the main reason is that her son likes it. Wang Meilan's thoughts are very simple. If her son is happy, she will be happy.

In the house, Zhao Youcai, Wang Meilan, Li Dayong, the old lady, and Xie Sun accompanied Ma Dafu's family of three. Wang Qiang and Zhao Jun came out of the house, and they went to the backyard to watch Jin Xiaomei and the others carving meat, removing bones, and chatting with Lin Xiangshun and the others.

"Ouch!" Wang Qiang, who was smoking next to him, shook his head slightly and sighed, "Such a big cow was killed with two shots."

Zhao Weipeng rolled his eyes at Wang Qiang and said angrily: "No matter how big it is, it can't hold a gun."

After getting along these days, Zhao Weipeng got along well with this group of people. Talking, laughing, and making noises were commonplace.

"Brother Zhao." Wang Qiang smiled at Zhao Weipeng and said, "It has nothing to do with you to beat this cow, right?"

"Huh?" Zhao Weipeng was startled, then Wang Qiang continued: "My brother-in-law shot these two shots, right?"

"This..." Even though Zhao Weipeng was a very reliable person, he wanted to obey Wang Qiang's words at this moment, because the nickname of "Fat Tu Niu" was too shameful.

But then, Wang Qiang smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, if you take action, this old cow will have to take twenty or thirty shots."

Hearing laughter coming from around him, Zhao Weipeng realized that Wang Qiang was laughing at his poor marksmanship.

"Who said that? What are you talking about?" Zhao Weipeng said: "Each of us shot once, and I shot the second shot. After I shot it, the old cow fell down as soon as I saw it."

"That's right." Li Dayong also joked, saying: "The last gun you added will fall down early, and you won't be able to shoot it yet."

"Is that possible?" Zhao Weipeng shouted: "We have planned the shooting. As soon as Zhao Jun's father's gun fires, my gun will also fire."

"Uncle." Zhao Jun pulled Zhao Weipeng and said, "Why are you fighting for this? It's not a good thing!"

"Huh?" Zhao Weipeng was stunned, but he also reacted. Yes, Zhao Jun is right, this is not a good thing, and you can't stand out if you fight.

Everyone laughed, Zhao Weipeng sighed, looked up at the sky at 45 degrees, and whispered: "Anyway, I have no problem shooting."

"Yes." Lin Xiangshun was a junior. Li Dayong, Wang Qiang and Zhao Weipeng were joking. He and Zhao Jun went out to smooth things over, saying: "Uncle Zhao has been a soldier, so he definitely didn't say anything about shooting."

"That's right!" Zhao Weipeng's cheeks trembled and he said, "I didn't brag when I was a soldier. I was responsible for the dirtiest and most tiring tasks!"

No matter when, the People's Liberation Army has never let down the people. When Zhao Weipeng mentioned his experience as a soldier, both men and women were in awe. It was in this atmosphere that no one thought carefully about what Zhao Weipeng just said. I think everyone is the most miserable and tired. Why is he the dirtiest and most tired?

A large piece of cowhide is hung up, and the cow's head, tail, and four hooves are gathered in a pile.

Pieces of good beef were thrown on the chopping board, and big beef bones were collected in the big basin.

There are four half-fans of ribs, stacked two by two, with two tenderloins next to them.

Seeing that the beef was almost done, Jin Xiaomei said to Zhao Jun: "Jun, why don't you call your mother out? Let her see how to prepare the meat?"

They are only responsible for the work, and Wang Meilan has always been in charge of the overall direction.

Zhao Jun came back not long after he left. He said to Jin Xiaomei: "Aunt, my mother told you to watch the whole thing. After that, we'll make lunch first."

With that said, Zhao Jun gestured to the front yard and said: "Cook some frozen dumplings, stir-fry three vegetables and mix them with cold dishes."

It was already twelve o'clock, the women were busy working together, and the three large pots in Zhao Jun's house were all smoking.

Soon, beef stir-fried with green onions, sauerkraut stir-fried beef, cabbage and fungus stir-fried beef, and homemade cold dishes were served. The four dishes were served with dumplings. Men, women, and children had a sumptuous lunch in the east and west rooms of the Zhao family.

Women take care of their children first when eating, but children have small appetites and leave the table after eating little.

Perhaps because she ate too much fried peanuts in the morning, Li Xiaoqiao felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, so Xiao Lingdang took her out to the hut.

When Li Xiaoqiao came out of the hut, he saw Li Ruhai coming from the west.

"Brother!" Li Xiaoqiao rushed towards Li Ruhai. She was still young and she didn't know what her brother had done. She only knew that Li Ruhai was good to her.

"Xiaoqiao." Li Ruhai didn't go home for a whole week, and he missed his sister, but he didn't dare to go home after the meeting, and has been wandering outside until now. Seeing that everyone else was going home to have lunch and take a nap, he came home.

Seeing Li Ruhai, Xiao Lingdang said hello to him, but at this time the brother and sister were already hugging each other. Xiao Lingdang shook her head and walked into the courtyard.

When Li Ruhai came home, Xiaohua was also very excited. The other dogs didn't bark much, but it barked one after another.

And its cry attracted the attention of the people in the room.

Seeing Little Lingdang enter the house, Wang Meilan asked: "Lingdang, which dog is barking outside?"

"Little Hua." Xiao Lingdang replied, "My Uncle Li is back, and Xiao Hua keeps screaming."

"Your Uncle Li?" After listening to Xiao Lingdang's words, Jin Xiaomei put down her chopsticks and stood up without Wang Meilan stopping her.

Coming out of the east room, Jin Xiaomei stood in the outer room and called Li Dayong: "Dayong, your old son is back!"

You have to be obedient. When you are happy, you are our son, and when you are angry, you are your son.

Li Dayong, who was holding the wine and clinking glasses with everyone, was startled, raised his neck and drank all the wine in the glass, then stood up and walked out.

At this time, the brother and sister had stopped hugging each other. Li Ruhai held his sister's shoulders and said, "Little brother, look at my old sister. Oh, her little face is chubby again."

Li Xiaoqiao smiled at Li Ruhai and said, "Brother, I'm so fat that I can't even put on my clothes."

"Hahaha..." Smart people don't need to speak too clearly. Li Ruhai laughed and said, "Isn't the cotton-padded jacket that mom made for you just right?"

Children have to grow, so whether you make or buy clothes for your children, they are always one or two sizes larger.

Hearing this, Li Xiaoqiao pursed her lips, shook Li Ruhai's arm, and said, "Brother, I think the down jacket worn by the Zhao family's sister-in-law is pretty..."

"Brother, I'll buy it for you!" Li Ruhai made a promise to the little girl before his sister finished speaking.

Hearing this, Li Xiaoqiao jumped into Li Ruhai's arms and said coquettishly: "Little brother, you are the best..."

"Li Ruhai!" A loud shout interrupted Li Xiaoqiao's words. The little girl took a sneak peek and saw her parents coming out of Zhao's courtyard angrily. Li Xiaoqiao broke away from Li Ruhai's arms without saying a word.

At this time, Li Ruhai was a little panicked. He hugged Li Xiaoqiao subconsciously, thinking that his parents would not be violent with his sister in his arms.

But the next second, Li Xiaoqiao squatted down and broke away from Li Ruhai's arms, and pushed Li Ruhai out with both hands.

Li Ruhai: "..."
