The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Hearing that Zhao Jun's decision to collect the fox skin for ten yuan remained unchanged, the gangsters were extremely happy.

Tong Youfeng rubbed his hands on his cotton trousers, then took Zhao Jun's hand and said, "Leader Zhao, on behalf of our 272 people from the 58 households in Xishantun, thank you."

Zhao Jun was startled. Next to him, Zhang Xinglong squeezed Tong Youfeng away with his shoulder. Then he took Zhao Jun's hand and said, "My dear, I also want to thank you on behalf of our 272 people from the 58 households in Xishantun. "

"Haha..." Zhao Jun was amused by these two people.

Seeing everyone happy, Wang Meilan said: "You guys sit down, I will give you some hot water."

"Second sister-in-law, don't be too troublesome." Zhang Lifu, who felt like he was causing trouble to the Zhao family, chased him to the outhouse and heard Wang Meilan say, "It's okay. I'll give them some warm water to keep them warm."

Seeing Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei about to rinse the tea vat, Zhang Lifu waved his hand to stop them: "Just take two big bowls and take turns drinking."

"Is that possible?" Wang Meilan disagreed. Her idea was very simple. Regardless of whether she was rich or poor, everyone who came was a guest and she had to treat them well.

"It's okay." Zhang Lifu said: "Whoever we work for, we drink like that."

This is true, there is so much humanity these days. Generally, when a family builds a house, people from a village or a village come to help.

After a busy day, the host arranged the meal, but these days, most people don’t have such cups at home, so everyone at the table would fill a big bowl with wine. No one cared about anyone else, and everyone took turns drinking.

"That won't work!" Wang Meilan didn't say anything. She was stunned and collected fourteen teapots and water glasses. Even Zhang Lifu also took the teapot and drank the hot water.

It was around six o'clock in the morning, the coldest time of the day. These people had been walking all the way from Xishantun, and they were all freezing.

After drinking this hot water, Tong Youfeng felt much warmer all over.

At this time, Jin Xiaomei came in with a thermos bottle, placed it on the table against the wall, and then said to Ruhai: "Old son, watch and add water to your uncles and uncles."

"Hey." As soon as Li Ruhai responded, Tong Youfeng called, "Ruhainiang."

"Huh?" Jin Xiaomei was stunned, hearing someone call her that for the first time.

"Ruhai Niang." Tong Youfeng didn't see Li Ruhai winking at him, but still said to Jin Xiaomei: "Why don't you let Ruhai go to our village to collect mountain goods?"

Jin Xiaomei twitched the corner of her mouth. If she didn't think that the visitor was a guest, Jin Xiaomei would have to say a few words to him.

"Ruhai Niang." Zhang Xinglong also called people this, and then said to Jin Xiaomei: "This child Ruhai comes to our village to collect things and helps us a lot. Without her, it would be difficult for us to make some money. "

"Brother." At this time, Wang Meilan appeared at the door of the West House. She asked Zhang Xinglong: "It's now, what else does your village have to sell?"

"Oh, Mrs. Zhao, that's an old thing to say." Zhang Xinglong clapped his fingers and said, "Just before it started snowing, we killed those chickens and geese, and Ruhai sold us a lot of them. , but there are still a few that are not sold.”

"There are still five to six hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes." Tong Youfeng answered and said: "The fungus, hazel mushrooms and Yuan mushrooms that were dried in the sun, and the shredded ones are still one hundred and eighty kilograms."

"Ah..." Wang Meilan blinked, and then asked Zhang Xinglong: "Brother, how many chickens and geese do you have in total in your village?"

"How many more..." Zhang Xinglong said, pointing to a gangster sitting under the north window, and asked: "Lao San, how much is left in your family?"

The man replied: "I have ten chickens and six geese left."

"Where is your family?" Zhang Xinglong pointed to Wu Dalin and asked, Wu Dalin quickly said: "My wife went to the market and sold a few, and when she was finished, there were still thirteen chickens, two ducks, and eight geese."

After listening to what the two said, Zhang Xinglong looked at Wang Meilan and said, "There are a few more in our village. Adding theirs, we can have forty or fifty chickens, and about the same number of geese."

"Were they all killed and frozen?" Wang Meilan asked, "Did you hang the wax?"

"That's definitely not a bad thing." Zhang Xinglong said with a smile: "Everyone in our family works, so they must be upright."

"That's okay!" Wang Meilan waved her hand and said, "Someday you will give those chickens, ducks, and geese, and they will be gathered into a pile."

"What is that for?" Zhang Xinglong was confused, and he didn't know that he had met a kind-hearted rich woman.

"I bought them all!" Wang Meilan said casually: "You send me a message when the time comes, and I will send someone to your place to get them!"

"Did you buy them all?" Zhang Xinglong excitedly looked at Wang Meilan from the edge of the kang with wide eyes and asked, "How about fifty chickens and fifty geese?"

"Oops!" Wang Meilan smiled faintly, waved her hands gently and said, "I know, weren't we finished just now?"

The chickens raised by the Zhao family last year were all eaten before the New Year.

There are still quite a few geese, but they are all reserved for the New Year to lay eggs.

Wang Meilan was worrying about what to do during the New Year, when a bunch of hooligans suddenly appeared and brought chickens, ducks, and geese to Wang Meilan.

"Sister-in-law Zhao." Seeing that Zhang Xinglong had accomplished a big thing for the villagers, Tong Youfeng couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but he didn't dare to call Wang Meilan Zhao Junniang.

"Huh?" Wang Meilan looked at Tong Youfeng, who smiled apologetically and said, "Sister-in-law Zhao, we also have some fungus, mushrooms and so on."

"Then bring them all." Wang Meilan said casually: "But don't fool me. You can't show me anything, not even the mess."

"That's not possible." Tong Youfeng waved his hands repeatedly and said, "We can't do that."

After Tong Youfeng finished speaking, a hooligan asked Wang Meilan: "Sister, I have about twenty kilograms of dried pineapples at home, do you want them?"

"Yes!" Wang Meilan didn't even hesitate. The dried sorbus was sweet and sour and delicious, and it could also be used to make cans.

"Auntie, I also have fifteen or six kilograms of dried sorbus at home." Another hooligan said: "After that, there are seven or eight kilograms of frozen round dates."

The round dates he was talking about were the ones that the black blind man loved to eat most when he was trying to get fat in the autumn.

Round dates, like mountain mushrooms, are subject to frost in late autumn, and become sweeter after being beaten by frost.

Some round dates were left on the seedlings without being picked or rolled, and they were frozen in the winter.

Frozen round dates, like frozen pears and frozen persimmons, are soft and delicious, and have a unique flavor.

"I want it, I want it all." Wang Meilan said, "But dried berries, jujubes, etc., I can't give you much money."

"It's okay, Auntie." For a gangster, money is good for nothing, as long as it can be exchanged for money.

"Ruhai." Wang Meilan called Li Ruhai and asked him, "How much do you charge for these?"

"Auntie, I'm helping to sell them." Li Ruhai chuckled and said, "Dried sorbets cost 12 cents, and frozen jujubes cost 3 cents a pound."

After hearing what Li Ruhai said, Wang Meilan looked at the gangster just now and asked, "Can we pay this price?"

"Okay, okay!" The hooligan nodded hurriedly and said, "That's great, Auntie!"

When he was happy, the gangster seemed to remember something, and asked Wang Meilan again: "Auntie, you won't take our money, will you?"

"Huh?" Wang Meilan was startled, then smiled and said: "I eat at my own home, how much do I have to pay you?"

Speaking of this, Wang Meilan glanced at Li Ruhai, and then said to everyone in Xishantun: "You guys are dealing with those mountain goods. I want the good ones, but I don't want the inferior ones. Okay, whatever price Ruhai gives you, I will What’s the price for you?”

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this. The price was the same and no one took any money yet. This was equivalent to a price increase.

Seeing that the hooligans were very happy, Wang Meilan smiled and said: "Winter is just like this. When spring comes after the new year, our family will start collecting mountain products. No matter what you have, you can collect the honest ones and sell them at my house. I will I’ll give you money.”

As soon as Wang Meilan said this, everyone started talking. Someone asked: "Auntie, what kind of wild goods do you accept?"

"I'll take everything." Wang Meilan said: "You are a wild vegetable, pine nuts, mushrooms, schisandra chinensis, gallbladder, big bark, yellow leaves... Anyway, I will take whatever you have."

Hearing this, the gangsters became even happier.

"Zhao Junniang, we are so grateful to you!" There are differences between men and women. Zhang Xinglong did not hold Wang Meilan's hand, but cupped his fist towards her and said, "You don't know, it's too hard for us hooligans to make some money."

"It's not good!" Tong Youfeng stopped talking and said: "When I go up the mountain to dig out those things, sometimes others snatch them away, and sometimes I get beaten..."

"Ah?" Zhao Jun frowned and blurted out: "Why are there still people who intercept the road? Are they still being beaten?"

"Okay." Tong Youfeng looked at Zhao Jun quietly and said, "Those forest rangers will beat us up if they say they will."

As he spoke, Tong Youfeng pointed at Wu Dalin and said: "Dalin asked them to beat him last year, and his back molars were moved. He gave them the cigarette bag, cigarette pot and pot."

"Is this like this?" Zhao Jun knew that after the forest area stopped production and logging, the forest rangers were very arrogant, but he didn't know that this was the case these days.

"Well, Leader Zhao, do we dare to lie to you?" After Tong Youfeng finished speaking, another gangster said: "The year before last, I went up the mountain to pull out the fungus and met two forest rangers. If you must say that I felled the tree, I How can you have that ability?”

"This is nonsense!" Li Dazhi couldn't stand hearing it anymore. The wood that can grow fungus is rotten wood that has been put down for many years. If you blame others, isn't that confusing right and wrong?

"Dazhi." At this time, Wang Meilan called Li Dazhi, and Li Dazhi hurriedly turned around and said, "Miss, what's going on?"

"Dazhi, you have to take care of this." Wang Meilan said, "This is too bullying."

Li Dazhi nodded solemnly, turned to look at Zhao Jun, and said: "Jun, this matter is your responsibility. If you want to go to the forest area today, just talk about it. If they want to have seven or eight people, just let them sit on the ground." He goes home!"

Li Dazhi is the director of the forest camp, and it's all a matter of his words to leave or leave the forest rangers.

Zhao Jun, like Wang Meilan, disliked bullying the weak the most. With Li Dazhi's support, he immediately responded: "Okay, Uncle Liu, I know."

Tong Youfeng mentioned this matter because he wanted Zhao Jun to help them come forward. At this time, his goal was achieved, and Tong Youfeng hurriedly thanked Zhao Jun.

With Tong Youfeng taking the lead, the thirteen gangsters in Xishantun thanked Zhao Jun together, shouting "Thank you, Leader Zhao" one after another.

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me." Zhao Jun waved his hands repeatedly, and then introduced Li Dazhi to everyone, saying: "If you all want to thank me, just thank my sixth uncle. My sixth uncle is the forest camp director of the forest farm."

Upon hearing this, everyone thanked Li Dazhi one after another and shouted: "Thank you, director."

"Oh, no need to thank me..." Li Dazhi was a little embarrassed and hurriedly gestured to Wang Meilan and said: "If you want to thank me, thank my lady. My lady has spoken, and we all have to listen."

Wang Meilan knew that Li Dazhi was joking, but the gangster excitedly thanked Wang Meilan.

Compared with Xie Zhaojun and Xie Li Dazhi, Xie Wang Meilan was a little confused.

Mainly there is confusion in terms of titles. Some say thank you sister-in-law, some say thank you auntie, and some say thank you eldest sister.

And Wu Dalin, who was bullied miserably by the ranger, said to Wang Meilan with his hands clasped in fists: "Thank you, Aunt Zhao! Thank you, Aunt Zhao!"

"Ah?" Wang Meilan was stunned, and Zhao Jun stood up and asked Wu Dalin: "Brother, what do you call my mother?"

"Grandma Zhao!" Wu Dalin said with a simple face: "We all call her that in Guan."

"Why do you call her that?" Li Dazhi laughed and said, "You made my lady a local housewife, right?"

"Haha..." Everyone laughed, and Wang Meilan was also happy.

At this time, the whistle sounded, and the forest farm commuter bus arrived.

Zhang Lifu put down the teapot in his hand and said to everyone: "We are almost ready to leave. I still have to go to work."

"Go, go..."

All the gangsters stood up one after another and said goodbye to Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan. Go out on both sides.

When they came out of Zhao's house, the cold wind blew, and the gangsters suddenly felt uncertain.

Walking to the door, someone asked Zhao Jun: "Leader Zhao, are we really going to kill foxes when we go back?"

"Fight!" Zhao Jun said: "Don't worry, everyone, I, Zhao Jun, will do what I say. The finished fox skin will cost ten yuan a piece. If you can show off, I will pay you more."

"Grandma Zhao!" Wu Dalin called to Wang Meilan: "Then I will bring you my chickens, geese, and so on."

"You can't scream like that!" Wang Meilan smiled and pointed at Wu Dalin. Wu Dalin grinned and heard Wang Meilan say: "You don't have to give it to me."

With that said, Wang Meilan looked at Zhao Jun and said, "Son, look, when will you go to someone else's place to get the leather?"

"Then it'll be next Sunday." Zhao Jun said, "It's just in time for the holiday. I'm almost back, so we'll drive there when we're done."

"Listen, right?" Wang Meilan asked Wu Dalin: "Next Sunday, you pack your things in advance. My son drives over and blows the horn, and you go out and carry your things."

After hearing this, everyone thanked them again. There were two more people calling "Grandma Zhao" in the crowd. Wang Meilan feigned anger to no avail.

"Leader Zhao." Before leaving, Tong Youfeng said to Zhao Jun: "If we kill foxes and bald people over there, you can't leave us alone."

Zhao Jun blinked his eyes, and then said decisively: "Don't worry, if that doesn't work, just come to my house and deliver a letter. I know the letter, and I'll be there right away."

After receiving this guarantee from Zhao Jun, Tong Youfeng and others were willing to leave.

After seeing off the hooligans, it was time for Zhao Jun and the others to go to work. Zhao Jun hurriedly rode on his motorcycle to find Wang Qiang and Jie Chen, and then rode his motorcycle to catch the commuter train.

Today, Zhao Jun and the other three are going to the forest farm, and then to the third construction section.

So, Zhao Jun pushed the motorcycle onto the train. I thought it would be faster to ride a motorcycle from the forest farm to the third construction section.

After arriving at the forest farm, Zhao Jun took Wang Qiang and Jie Chen to the security team for a meeting.

Today is Monday, and all teams and groups basically have morning meetings.

After sitting down in the security team, Zhao Jun was just chatting with his colleagues when he heard someone at the door asking: "Is Zhao Jun here?"

"Ouch!" Zhao Jun saw it was Zhou Chunming's secretary Yu Quanjin. He hurriedly walked over and asked, "Brother Yu, what's going on?"

"Follow me quickly." Yu Quanjin said: "Secretary Zhou is looking for you!"

"What's going on? Is this what it is?" Zhao Jun wondered. He just sent Zhou Chunming home last night. Nothing happened last night. What are you doing this morning?

After hearing Zhao Jun's question, Yu Quanjin whispered: "It seems something happened in Lingnan. The three big claws gathered together. They should be looking for you."

Zhao Jun was shocked when he heard this: "What?"
