The whole mountain is my hunting ground

After Li Liangwei left, Zhou Chunming also said goodbye to Chu Anmin. It was already past two o'clock, and they still had to go back to the forest area.

Chu Anmin did not keep him and Zhao Jun, but when Zhao Jun and the others went downstairs, Chu Anmin followed them all the time.

"Director Chu, how can I ask you to see us off?" Zhou Chunming was flattered and stopped immediately.

Chu Anmin gestured downstairs, and although Zhou Chunming didn't know what he was going to do, he also went downstairs.

After reaching the first floor, Chu Anmin waved his hand to signal Zhao Jun and Zhou Chunming to follow him.

The three of them came to the reading room, and Chu Anmin gathered the "RM Daily" and "Reference News" for the past half month of this year, and then handed them to Zhao Jun in person.

"Go back and study hard, study hard." Chu Anmin told Zhao Jun so much, his expression and tone were exactly the same as those high school head teachers who expected the top students in the class to pass the entrance exams for Tsinghua and Peking University.

Zhao Jun secretly complained in his heart, he hadn't studied for many years, and he was still asked to read newspapers? This newspaper has some rare characters, and I can't recognize them all. It's really hard for me.

But he is the leader, Zhao Jun not only has to raise both hands to take the newspaper, but also has to thank Chu Anmin.

Chu Anmin raised his hand and patted Zhao Jun on the shoulder twice, feeling like he had high hopes for Zhao Jun, and Zhou Chunming on the side was envious.

Coming out of the Forestry Bureau office building, Zhao Jun and Zhou Chunming got in the car, and Han Genliang started the jeep to go back.

When they returned to Yong'an Forest Area, it was almost five o'clock, and it was dark outside.

"Go directly to Yong'an." Zhou Chunming, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said to Han Genliang: "Send Zhao Jun home first, and then we will go home."

At this time, Zhou Chunming also planned not to go back to the forest farm. Going home to stay overnight can also see his eldest grandson.

Twenty minutes later, the jeep stopped outside the Zhao family yard.

Every time he came to the Zhao family, Zhou Chunming had to look at the big red lanterns and thousands of winter plum flowers.

"Uncle." Zhao Jun didn't rush to get out of the car. He sat in the back seat and greeted Zhou Chunming in front, saying, "Come in, we're home now."

"That's incredible." Zhou Chunming refused, saying, "Your brother Han and I are going home directly."

Han Genliang's home is also in Yongshengtun, and his home and Zhou's home are front and back yards.

"My brother Han will come too." Zhao Jun took the opportunity to invite Han Genliang, saying, "We'll have dinner at my house tonight."

"That's incredible, that's incredible." Zhou Chunming refused repeatedly. One of him wanted to go home to see his grandson, and the other was to come to his in-laws' place. It would be bad to come empty-handed.

While they were talking, Wang Meilan came out of the house after hearing the dog barking.

With the help of the big lantern hanging on the gate, Wang Meilan saw a jeep parked outside the yard. She was slightly startled, and then walked out quickly.

Seeing his mother-in-law coming out, Zhou Chunming had to say hello. He hurriedly got off the car and shouted, "Mother-in-law!"

"Oh, it's my mother-in-law!" Wang Meilan didn't expect Zhou Chunming to come down the mountain. Seeing her son coming down from the back, Wang Meilan asked, "My mother-in-law, what did you do today?"

"My mother-in-law." Zhou Chunming smiled and said to Wang Meilan, "Your Xiaojun really made us proud?"

"What's wrong?" Wang Meilan smiled happily when she heard it.

"Mom." Zhao Jun interrupted and called Wang Meilan, "It's so cold outside. Let my uncle and my brother Han go in."

Just when Zhou Chunming got off the car, Han Genliang also got off the car. He wanted to say hello to Wang Meilan, but he didn't talk to her.

"No, what can I do?" Wang Meilan hurriedly called Zhou Chunming and said, "My dear, come in and warm up, and eat here tonight."

"That's great, my dear mother." Zhou Chunming declined, but Wang Meilan was too enthusiastic. At this time, Wang Qiang also came out of the house and forcibly pulled Zhou Chunming into the Zhao family.

Zhou Chunming found that every time he came to the Zhao family, their family was full of people.

The people who went to work had not returned yet, and the outer room and the east room were full of people.

Especially in the outer room, Jin Xiaomei, Zhao Ling, Xu Chunyan, Xie Sunshi and others were busy.

In the big pot, strips of dried sweet potatoes were bubbling with oil and frying.

Today, Wang Meilan and her group returned with a full load. When they left, the 2,500 yuan in the money bag was not enough, and later Wang Meilan took out more than 300 yuan from her pocket.

They spent so much money because they not only collected 62 fox skins and 25 gray skins.

They also collected 186 kilograms of dried small fish, 75 kilograms of dried mountain pears, 163 kilograms of dried bean shreds, 182 kilograms of dried eggplants, 76 kilograms of dried cucumbers,

220 kilograms of dried potatoes, 285 kilograms of dried sweet potatoes, 242 kilograms of dried red radishes, 478 kilograms of dried green radishes, 36 kilograms of mountain fungus, 58 kilograms of hazel mushrooms, 122 kilograms of Yuan mushrooms, and 186 kilograms of elm yellow mushrooms.

The Zhao family had almost all of these things, but they just ate them all. Only the dried sweet potatoes were not available in the Zhao family before.

There is a piece of yellow sand land on the south slope above the root of Xishan, and the people of Xishan Village plant a lot of sweet potatoes there every year.

After the autumn harvest, they picked the big and good sweet potatoes and buried them in the cellar to sell them during the New Year.

As for those small sweet potatoes and those with irregular shapes, the people of Xishantun peel them, cut them into strips, steam them in a pot, and then dry them in the sun.

When eating, soak the dried sweet potatoes in clean water, blanch them in boiling water, and eat them as soon as the steam comes out of the pot.

The steamed dried sweet potatoes are soft on the outside and sweet on the inside, and they are delicious.

In Yong'an Village, every household would buy frozen pears and frozen persimmons during the Spring Festival. The people in Xishan Village were poor, so they would give their children dried sweet potatoes as snacks during the Spring Festival.

But after the Zhaojia Chamber of Commerce's sweep, the children in Xishan Village will not be able to eat dried sweet potatoes during the Spring Festival this year. But now that they are rich, they should be able to eat frozen pears and frozen persimmons.

The people in Xishan Village steamed dried sweet potatoes, but Wang Meilan thought that was not delicious.

Wang Meilan took a few handfuls of the dried sweet potatoes and soaked them in water. After soaking, she scalded them with hot water and drained them after taking them out.

Since it was impossible to drain the water, she put them directly into the cold oil pan. As the oil temperature rose, the moisture on the surface of the dried sweet potatoes was fried dry.

The dried sweet potatoes were even more fragrant after being fried, and even Zhou Chunming couldn't help eating a few more.

"My dear." Wang Meilan brought the brewed Mao Jian Duan over to Zhou Chunming, and then said with a smile: "I have collected a lot of dried sweet potatoes today. Before you go home, I will give you a few pounds, and then let my mother-in-law fry them for my eldest grandson."

"Yes, yes, OK!" Zhou Chunming was not polite, because this thing tasted really good.

"Han!" At this time, Wang Meilan handed Han Genliang tea and told him: "You should eat more too, it's like being at home here."

"Yes, auntie." Han Genliang smiled and asked casually: "Are these dried sweet potatoes sold in Xishantun?"

"Yes." Wang Meilan smiled and said: "I went there today, but I was there."

"What's wrong, mom?" Zhao Jun felt something was wrong when he heard it, and asked hurriedly: "Aren't you going to collect skins? What else did you buy?"

"Oh." Wang Meilan raised her hand and gestured to the window, saying: "Bean shreds, dried eggplants, a mess, about 2,000 kilograms."

"Mother-in-law, what are you doing?" Zhou Chunming was shocked. He asked Wang Meilan: "You collect these, and you can sell them for money?"

Zhou Chunming heard Zhao Chun muttering that her mother wanted to do business, but he didn't expect that Wang Meilan would collect everything.

This reminded Zhou Chunming of what Hu Sanmei had told him. Some people in the village said that Wang Meilan had the style of a ZCJ-level rich lady, and her squandering was no less than that of Wang Daba Zhang in his heyday.

Zhao Jun looked at his mother and sighed silently. The people in Xishan Village had never seen money, so they sold everything.

Northeastern people store autumn vegetables and dry vegetables for five months in winter. They start storing autumn vegetables in October and eat them until around Qingming Festival next year, when they can get some wild vegetables.

The people in Xishan Village didn't sell any dried vegetables. After the Chinese New Year, their sauerkraut and cabbage were gone, and they had no more dried vegetables to eat.

Especially the dried green radish, which was used to mix pickles after soaking, and the people in Xishan Village even sold it. After the Chinese New Year, they ate porridge and big pancakes, not only without vegetables, but also without pickles.

But it's really not Wang Meilan's fault. Today, the people of Xishan Village were so excited when they saw the money that they brought dried vegetables from their homes to exchange for money. Wang Meilan had to accept them.

"If we don't sell them, what's the money?" Facing the question of her in-laws, Wang Meilan smiled and said, "We'll keep them for ourselves."

As she said that, Wang Meilan raised her hand and pointed at Zhao Jun, saying, "Next spring, Zhao Jun and Baoyu will do things, so there will be vegetables, right?"

"Ah..." After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhou Chunming nodded. This was a good reason.

At this time, there were dog barking outside the house. It was Zhao Youcai and others who had come back from work.

Zhao Youcai, who entered the yard, wanted to get close to Erhei, but was called back by Li Dayong at the instruction of Wang Meilan.

Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong and others accompanied Zhou Chunming to talk, and they inevitably asked what Zhou Chunming had done with Zhao Jun that day.

Zhou Chunming did not hide or hide anything, and recounted what happened after he went to the Forestry Bureau today.

He had already told Wang Meilan, Wang Qiang and others about it once when he just entered the house. At this time, Zhou Chunming talked about Wang Meilan who was directing the dinner in the outer room, and could not help but move closer to the door again.

Her son made her so proud. After appearing on TV, he was going to be on the newspaper, and when facing the newspaper interview, Zhao Jun's answer was so perfect.

This made Wang Meilan determined that after these two days, she must go to the graves of her parents and parents-in-law to burn more paper.

After listening to Zhou Chunming's words, Li Dayong, Li Dazhi, and Lin Xiangshun praised Zhao Jun one after another.

As Zhao Jun's father, Zhao Youcai praised his own son, which seemed like Wang Po selling melons.

But at this moment, Zhao Youcai looked at Zhao Jun with a proud and approving look in his eyes, as if silently saying to Zhao Jun: "You are a good boy."

"Hey?" Suddenly, Li Dazhi saw the "Reference News" placed on the kang. Usually, the post office delivers newspapers to the forest farm, including "Shanhe Daily" and "RM Daily", but "Reference News" is not delivered.

"Where did this newspaper come from?" Li Dazhi asked curiously.

Now he is at his in-laws' house, eating a family dinner, and there are his own people inside and outside the house.

Therefore, Zhou Chunming was not as serious as usual in the forest farm. He actively answered Li Dazhi's question and said, "That was given by Director Chu to Zhao Jun. Let Zhao Jun study hard."

"Oh my God!" Li Dayong looked at Zhao Jun in surprise and said, "My nephew has made progress. Director Chu thinks so highly of us."

"Then what are you thinking about, Dayong." Zhou Chunming continued, "Director Chu is very good to Zhao Jun."

At this point, he laughed and said, "If Zhao Jun wants to say something to Director Chu, it will be much better than me."

Hearing Zhou Chunming's words, Zhao Youcai laughed and said modestly on behalf of his son: "How can that be possible, in-law. The forest farms under the Forestry Bureau are among the best in scale, right? If we go on the road transport next year, you will have to be transferred to the bureau."

Zhao Youcai's words were not related to what Zhou Chunming said, but he was praising his in-laws, and he was praising them on behalf of his son.

But what Zhao Youcai didn't expect was that Zhou Chunming smiled and said to him: "Really, Youcai, you don't know. As soon as we got there today, Director Chu asked Zhao Jun how his work was going. If you need anything, just tell him. By the way, you were also promoted."

"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was stunned, pinching the butt of Shi Linyan's cigarette, and asked: "What did they promote me for?"

"Your son promoted you." Zhou Chunming smiled and said: "Xiaojun said that you went to Lingnan and got killed by that big claw. The brigade also gave you a bonus and a certificate."

When Zhou Chunming said this, Li Dazhi, Wang Qiang and others looked at Zhao Youcai in surprise. Zhao Youcai's going to Lingnan to fight tigers is still in the confidential stage, and only a few people know about it.

"Oh my." Zhao Youcai smiled and waved his hand, saying: "That's nothing, hehe..."

Although he said it was nothing, Zhao Youcai's face was full of joy. When his little eyes looked at Zhao Jun, there was endless satisfaction in his eyes.

This son is so good. He went to the director to brag about himself. He was so proud.

"Brother, what happened a while ago?" Li Dayong pretended not to know and asked Zhao Youcai, "Aren't you talking about the three big claws there? How did you deal with it?"

Zhao Jun's mouth twitched when he heard this, but Zhao Youcai laughed and said, "That's nothing. I'll kill two of them if I go there."

"Oh! Otherwise, I have to say it's my brother!" Li Dayong gave Zhao Youcai a thumbs up, and then said, "Brother, isn't there another one?"

"That one was scared away, hehe..." Zhao Youcai laughed and said, "It jumped into the garden at that time. Fortunately, it ran fast, otherwise it would have been finished!"

Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Zhou Chunming said, "It's said that a tiger father will have a dog son. You two are so powerful."

"Hehe..." Zhao Youcai was so proud.

But then, Zhou Chunming said, "Today, Chief Li of the Security Department said that being a cook is a waste of talent. You should also be allowed to work with Zhao Jun as a forestry security guard."

"Hmm?" Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up, and he quickly winked at Li Dayong beside him.

The tacit understanding between the two brothers for many years made Li Dayong understand Zhao Youcai's meaning in seconds, and he said directly, "It's OK for my eldest brother to work as a forestry security guard, but that's... there are no vacancies."

As he spoke, Li Dayong looked for Li Ruhai in the room.

At this time, Zhou Chunming said, "Whether there are vacancies or not, isn't it a matter of Xiaojun's words? Today, Director Chu asked him, if there are not enough people, add a few more. Xiaojun said no, saying that these people are enough now."

After Zhou Chunming said this, Zhao Youcai's eyes changed again when he looked at his son.

There will be more updates tomorrow. One of our brothers named Xiaowei has won the big pants crotch wine. I will send it to you when I go to the city in two days.
