The whole mountain is my hunting ground

The east room of the Li family.

Li Ruhai knelt on the ground, with whip marks crisscrossing his bare back.

Opposite him, Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei were sitting on the edge of the kang, taking turns verbally abusing him.

On the other side of the kang, Li Ruhai's vest, Chinese tunic jacket, cotton-padded jacket and marmot hat were randomly thrown there.

On the kang table between Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei, there was a stack of paper and a stack of money.

The pile of money was more than one hundred yuan, and Li Ruhai had only been working for less than three months. The money was definitely not wages, it was all made by him.

No wonder Li Ruhai was stained with blood in the cafeteria. When he handed the account book to Li Dayong, he told his father that everything written on the paper was wealth.

You must know that this one hundred yuan is not Li Ruhai's entire income. He still has some money that he has given out in the form of loans. The stack of papers on the kang table were all handprinted IOUs.

Jin Xiaomei looked through it roughly, some borrowed three to five yuan, some borrowed hundreds, and a rough calculation showed that the money her old son had given out was as much as two hundred and sixteen yuan.

This guy has only been doing this for more than a month and has already earned such a huge fortune. If this was a sensible child, Jin Xiaomei would definitely support her old son unswervingly just like Wang Meilan supported Zhao Jun. But this kid is not sensible at all.

This makes it even more important to take care of it. Children like this are the ones who make things difficult for them.

"Dad, Mom." At this time, Li Baoyu, who was sitting at the end of the kang, whispered to Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei, saying: "I just saw that my brother passed under the window. Did my aunt invite us back to eat?"

Li Baoyu said this not because he was greedy, but because he wanted to save Li Ruhai.

After all, they are brothers. When he saw Li Ruhai being pushed to the ground and beaten violently by Li Dayong, it was Li Baoyu who said good things to Li Ruhai, otherwise Li Ruhai wouldn't even have the chance to kneel down.

Hearing Li Baoyu's words, Jin Xiaomei raised her eyebrows, glared, and shouted at Li Baoyu: "Are you still thinking about eating? Do we still have the nerve to eat from others?"

Li Baoyu twitched the corner of his mouth and hurriedly bowed and retreated.

Speaking of her anger, Jin Xiaomei was furious, pointing at Li Ruhai and scolding: "Li Ruhai, you are not a human being? How nice is your aunt to you? You work shift, she is thinking about you even if she has something delicious to eat, what are you doing?" Is he a human?"

With that said, Jin Xiaomei picked up the triangle belt on the Kang table and rushed towards Li Ruhai to hit him.

Li Ruhai was not stupid either. He hurriedly put his arms over his head to protect his face. The triangle belt was slapped on his arms and back, and streaks of blood suddenly appeared.

Jin Xiaomei twitched seventeen or eighty times in a row, took two steps back, raised her hand and pointed the triangle belt at Li Ruhai, and said, "Isn't this Xiaolang San'er?"

In Zhao Jun's family, we don't talk about white-eyed wolf. The person with the same meaning is Xiaolang San'er.

Li Ruhai sobbed and listened to Jin Xiaomei say: "In 1964, I got married to your father, and your uncle and your aunt helped us. If nothing else, you eat other people's food over the years, don't you know?"

After saying that, Jin Xiaomei became angry again, picked up the triangle belt and hit Li Ruhai again.

After three more strokes, Jin Xiaomei sat back on the kang, threw the triangle onto the kang table, and then sighed: "This time I'm too embarrassed to go to the East Courtyard!"

After hearing Jin Xiaomei's words, Li Dayong and Li Baoyu both looked at Li Ruhai with evil eyes.

At this moment, there was movement at the door of the outhouse. Zhao Jun opened the door but did not enter the house. He only shouted from outside the house: "Uncle, aunt, let's eat."

Hearing this, Jin Xiaomei glared at Li Ruhai fiercely, and then replied: "Jun, we're not going. We just finished eating."

"Auntie..." Zhao Jun thought for a while and called Li Dayong: "Uncle, come on. My dad and mom are waiting for you to eat."

Zhao Jun said this, which can be regarded as giving the Li family a step forward. To be honest, Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei are really not greedy for the Zhao family's food. They have also come through hard times and are full of integrity in their bones.

But they don’t have to eat. The atmosphere of the Zhao family is something they can’t give up. After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Li Dayong's thought was: "If I don't go there, my eldest brother will definitely have to wait for me to eat."

Thinking of this, Li Dayong turned to Jin Xiaomei and whispered: "Xiaomei..."

Jin Xiaomei let out a long breath. When she stood up, she waved her hand to the outer room and said, "Let's go eat."

After Jin Xiaomei gave the order, Li Dayong and Li Baoyu got down to the ground one after another, and at this time Li Ruhai, who was kneeling on the ground, also remembered. But when he stood up, he almost fell to the ground.

Jin Xiaomei subconsciously took a step forward, but abruptly took her foot back.

Looking at her little son who was covered in bruises, Jin Xiaomei gritted her teeth, pointed at Li Ruhai and said, "Don't go there. There is dry food in the bowl shelf in the outer room. You can just take a bite of it yourself."

There were leftover sticky bean buns from the morning in the dish rack, and the only vegetables left were probably pickles. But Jin Xiaomei's decisive attitude prevented Li Ruhai from even a hint of resistance.

But even if he didn't say anything, Jin Xiaomei picked up the triangle belt again, pointed at Li Ruhai and said: "If you dare to complain all over the village again, if I don't beat you to death, I won't be your mother!"

After saying that, Jin Xiaomei took the triangle and threw it into Li Dayong's arms, turned around and collected all the money and IOUs on the kang table.

At this point, Li Ruhai didn't dare to say anything. At this time, he was just glad in his heart that he had burned the manuscripts of "Yong'an Bai Li Kui" and "Zhao Erxue's Night in the Mountains", otherwise he would be missing parts.

When Jin Xiaomei, Li Dayong, and Li Baoyu came out of the house, Zhao Jun was playing with the little flowers in the yard.

When the four of them returned to Zhao's house in the east courtyard, they had not picked up the tables in either room. Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan were also waiting.

"Okay, sister-in-law." Wang Meilan pulled Jin Xiaomei to sit down and said, "If our own child is really beaten, we have to take care of it?"

"Alas!" Jin Xiaomei sighed and said, "This is too late. Otherwise, I will add two more rooms to Baoyu's new house."

In the west room, Zhao Weipeng looked at Li Dayong with interest. Although he did not participate in today's events in person. But listening to everyone chatting at the dinner table, Zhao Weipeng sorted out the cause and effect.

Zhao Weipeng was very curious about the women's director who was less than fifteen years old, and he also thought that the Zhao family was interesting.

Zhao Weipeng grew up in the countryside and experienced rural life, but he had never seen the life of the Zhao family.

Several families gathered together, eating, drinking, talking and laughing, and the whole house was full of fun people.

Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. Zhao Weipeng unconsciously integrated into it.

After dinner, the men smoked, drank tea, and chatted in the west room. Those who were sleepy would lie on the kang. The women cracked melon seeds, ate frozen pears, and watched TV in the east room.

At about 1 p.m., the three big pots in the Zhao family all started to smoke. Xie Sunshi and her daughter-in-law Liu Lanying plucked goose feathers, Zhao Ling fried cod, and Jin Xiaomei and Xu Chunyan chopped donkey meat stuffing.

Wang Meilan, Wang Cuihua, Ma Ling, and the old lady wrapped beef in the house. They wrapped some beef legs, beef ribs, and beef brisket with butter paper, and made them into rectangular blocks like the sauce cubes of Northeastern stew.

Then, they took the wrapped beef outside to freeze it, which was to be rolled into meat rolls with a plane for hot pot tomorrow.

Today there was donkey meat and donkey ribs, and the beef dinner was changed to tomorrow.

But Zhao Jun left a piece of beef brisket and asked Xu Chunyan to help cut it into small pieces. While Xu Chunyan was cutting meat, he took Li Baoyu and Xie Chen out to make charcoal.

When they went to the casserole, they picked up the mountain pear and basswood branches that were as thick as their wrists and piled them together. After they were set on fire, they covered them with a large basin.

At this time, Li Baoyu came up from the cellar with a keel.

In the middle of winter, the ground outside could not be dug, but the cellar was not frozen, so Zhao Jun asked Li Baoyu to dig a keel of soil.

This soil was mixed with water to make mud, and the mud was used to seal the outer circle of the large basin covering the ground. After burning for an hour or so, a pile of charcoal could be obtained.

While the charcoal was burning, Zhao Jun and his men broke off the branches and sharpened the sticks.

At this time, in the west room of the Li family, Li Ruhai opened the curtains and looked out.

Because he was far away, he could not see the hustle and bustle in the Zhao family courtyard, but he could see the smoke coming out of the courtyard.

In the west room of the Li family, Zhao Weipeng looked at the busy scene outside the window in surprise. Two large stoves were smoking, one large pot was boiling donkey ribs, and the other large pot was boiling clean cow heads.

Boss Zhao has been traveling around the country for many years, but he has never seen a family that can do so much. Not to mention the countryside, there is no such family in the city. They eat as much as a banquet every day. Zhao Weipeng is worth nearly a million, but his family doesn't eat so much.

At this time, Wang Meilan's voice came from the outer room.

"Yan'er." Wang Meilan said, "Just put the chopped green onions, just for the sake of taste."

At this point, Wang Meilan paused for a moment, and then asked, "Have you chopped the thigh meat?"

Xu Chunyan agreed, and then heard Wang Meilan say to Jin Xiaomei, "Xiaomei, I'll steam dumplings in your pot later."

Wang Meilan thought that if she steamed dumplings next door, she could leave some for Li Ruhai. Children are ignorant, and if the elders are not tolerant, can they expect outsiders to tolerate their own children?

"Brother." Listening to Wang Meilan's words, Zhao Weipeng glanced at the outer room, and then whispered in Zhao Youcai's ear: "Our family is like this, it's strange that my sister-in-law can be elected as the director of women's affairs."

"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was stunned, and then heard Zhao Weipeng continue: "Too out of touch with the masses."

"Who said it wasn't?" Zhao Youcai said: "I told her but she didn't listen, who can eat like this every day?"

Their voices were low, and Wang Meilan in the outer room couldn't hear them, but Wang Qiang, who was lying on the kang cabinet next to him, moved his ears and slowly opened his eyes.

"Brother, has your family always eaten like this?" Zhao Weipeng asked again, which made Zhao Youcai startled. After thinking for a moment, he said, "We didn't eat it before, but we have been eating it like this for the past few months."

"These past few months?" Zhao Weipeng was shocked, and heard Zhao Youcai muttering, "We have eaten everything, including flying and running in the mountains, swimming and jumping in the river, chickens, ducks, geese raised at home, and sheep. That guy, from last autumn to now, the blind bear has killed several."

Zhao Weipeng: "..."

"Wild boars only pick the ones that have sunk the previous year and the yellow-haired ones." Zhao Youcai whispered, "Anyway, we eat them when we catch them, and we have lost count of how many we have eaten."

"Piglets are delicious." Zhao Weipeng added, and saw Zhao Youcai nod his head and said, "Your sister-in-law, her family used to be landlords, and she only picked the best food to eat . Wild boars weighing more than 200 jin are eaten by people because they think the meat is too tough. Big ones... like deer, they eat their testicles, and those weighing more than 300 jin are not eaten by people. "

"You are so picky?" Zhao Weipeng frowned and said, "What else can we eat?"

"Then you see..." Zhao Youcai gestured and said, "My kid is pretty good, he catches a lot of wild boars. And as you can see, your brother's shooting skills are really awesome. Let me tell you, brother. That time I went up the mountain, I only had a gun, a magazine with ten bullets, and I killed eleven pigs in one battle that day."

"Really?" Zhao Weipeng asked casually, and saw Zhao Youcai curled his lips and said, "Really? Didn't I say that before we drank that day? What's the matter, you just drink whatever I say?"

"No, brother." Zhao Weipeng might have been drunk that day, so he just laughed and let the topic go.

"Just these few months..." Zhao Youcai thought about it in his mind, and then said to Zhao Weipeng: "I have to eat thirty or forty wild boars."

"Ah?" After hearing Zhao Youcai's words, Zhao Weipeng said in shock: "Is this what you eat?"

"Yeah." Zhao Youcai said: "The roe deer ate, not to mention countless. Yes, they also ate a sheep."

As he spoke, Zhao Youcai smiled and said, "What a good big ewe, your sister-in-law will kill you with just one hammer."

"Oh my God!" Zhao Weipeng was startled, and then lowered his voice and said: "Is my sister-in-law so evil?"

"Oh..." Zhao Youcai was about to answer when he heard someone beside him say: "The old cow is still eating one."

Wang Qiang sat up.

"You!" At this time, Zhao Weipeng thought that Wang Qiang was mocking him and Zhao Youcai for fighting Da Qinggu. He immediately rolled his eyes at Wang Qiang and said: "Qiangzi, you don't expose your shortcomings even if you curse people. Why do you keep talking about this? I With your brother-in-law, isn’t that a mistake?”

"No, Brother Zhao." Wang Qiang glanced at Zhao Youcai, then smiled at Zhao Weipeng: "I didn't tell you about you, I said before you came, we were still eating an old cow."

"Ah?" Zhao Weipeng was even more shocked. The Zhao family eats wild boars, bears, and roe deer. These are all mountain animals. The Zhao family can eat as much as they can. Just have chickens, ducks, geese, and even sheep at home. But cows are big animals. As the old saying goes, one cow can support seven people. Especially in forest farms and rural areas, cows are always precious.

"Go away." At this time, Zhao Youcai said angrily to Wang Qiang and asked, "Weren't you there that day?"

Speaking of this matter, Zhao Youcai felt aggrieved. Three people went there that day, so why did the blame fall on him?

"Huh?" Zhao Weipeng knew there was a story here as soon as he heard it. Before he could ask, Zhao Youcai explained to him: "Isn't this that day? We led the dogs up the mountain. As soon as we reached the land at the south end, we bumped into They were grazing the cows. After that, there was a bad dog in our family who used to bite other people’s cows. When he took the lead, all the other dogs went and knocked down the old cow.”

"Ah..." After hearing this, Zhao Weipeng said very considerately: "Brother, it's not your fault."

"Who says it's not true!" Zhao Youcai said, rolling his eyes at Wang Qiang, and said, "They just keep mentioning it, and it spreads around. The people in the countryside are not good at talking, and they don't tell the truth."

After hearing Zhao Youcai's words, Zhao Weipeng suddenly remembered something. When the two of them killed the big green bull and ran down that day, Zhao Youcai once said to him that if they didn't run away quickly, the villagers would give them nicknames.

Thinking of this, Zhao Weipeng hurriedly asked Zhao Youcai: "Brother, the message is over, what nickname did the villagers give you?"

Zhao Youcai: "..."

More updates will start tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Before the Chinese New Year in the book, the Siberian tiger on Lao Guitouzi Ridge must be caught and sent for breeding and food supply. Years later, Zhao Jun got married.
