The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Zhao Jun thought his father was trying to transfer him to another job.

But what Zhao Jun didn't expect was that after lying down, Zhao Youcai only chatted with Zhou Jianjun about Zhao Chun and Zhou Zhou for a few words, and then turned over and fell asleep.

He was so timid that Zhao Jun was quite puzzled. He stared wide-eyed and stayed awake for half the night.

It wasn't until about one o'clock in the evening that Zhao Jun fell asleep.

It was only after five o'clock the next morning that Zhao Youcai and Zhou Jianjun got up. Zhao Jun yawned and got up. When he came out of the back room to wash his face, he saw Wang Meilan and Zhao Chun rolling out stuffing in front of the panel.

Yesterday, I made a lot of noodles and stuffings. After making the dumplings, Wang Meilan divided them among everyone, allowing each family to eat by themselves this morning. Whether it’s dumplings, steamed buns or pies, it all depends on your taste.

At this time, Zhao Youcai came back from going to the latrine. Wang Meilan, who had a mysophobia, said to him: "Go and wash your hands. After that, break some soybeans and go to the tofu shop to exchange for tofu curds."

Zhao Youcai agreed, and Wang Meilan continued to mutter: "The pot is occupied today, so I can't make porridge."

"Hey, Mom." Zhao Jun, who was wiping his face with a towel, called Wang Meilan and said, "Can our family buy a rice cooker?"

When Wang Meilan heard this, she immediately became interested and asked, "Son, does that thing work?"

"The stewed rice shouldn't be as good as our big pot." Zhao Jun said, "But if this pot is occupied, let's make porridge out of that pot."

"That's fine..." As soon as Wang Meilan started speaking, Zhao Youcai, who was rolling soybeans in front of the dish rack, said, "You two are such a waste of money. You even spend money to buy that thing while you are making porridge."

Wang Meilan glared at Zhao Youcai, and Zhao Jun said: "Dad, you don't know. In the summer, if you put the rice cooker to cook rice, the house will not be so hot without a fire. After that, let's eat it with pickles. It won't cool down." Well?"

There is nothing wrong with what Zhao Jun said, although there is a partition between the big stove and the kang in the east room. When the weather is hot, put up the partition and then burn the stove pit, and the kang in the house will not be hot.

But in summer, it’s still hot without lighting a fire in the house, and it’s even hotter when you light a fire for cooking.

But Zhao Youcai stood up after rolling the soybeans, raised his hand and waved to the outside of the house, saying: "Isn't there a big pot outside? Let's go outside to cook it in the summer!"

As soon as Zhao Youcai said these words, Zhao Jun fell silent. Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai and said, "Quickly change your tofu brain!"

Zhao Youcai left with a basin and a flashlight.

After Zhao Youcai left, Zhao Chun, who was rolling the pie, smiled at Wang Meilan and said, "Mom, my dad can talk better than before."

In Zhao Chun's memory, her father was a taciturn man. Just like what happened just now, in the past, Zhao Youcai would only say "don't buy it".

As for family matters, as long as Zhao Youcai expresses his opinion, Wang Meilan will definitely listen to him.

Zhao Chun didn't know when her father's status in the family had changed. Things that could be settled with just two words in the past now had to be explained in a series of words. That's it, does anyone listen to him or not?

"What's your father's day?" Wang Meilan smiled and said, "Maybe it's disturbing."

"Hey, Mom." At this time, Zhao Jun walked up to Wang Meilan and whispered a few words in her ear.

Zhao Chun leaned in to listen, and she knew that her brother was not carrying her, but Zhou Jianjun.

And it won't be a big deal. It's probably because her father wants to act like a monster and is afraid of making Zhou Jianjun laugh.

"Can't you?" After hearing this, Wang Meilan looked at Zhao Jun with wide eyes, and Zhao Chun also stared with small eyes.

"Mom, have you forgotten?" Zhao Jun asked back: "The two times we went to the city, he sneaked up the mountain. Once, he abandoned the house for our two sisters and didn't even cook for noon."

Yes, Zhao Jun sued Zhao Youcai again in front of Wang Meilan. But he was not retaliating, but was afraid that Zhao Youcai would be in danger.

Zhao Youcai didn't mention his job promotion last night, so Zhao Jun suspected that something was going on because it didn't fit with his father's character.

Zhao Jun thought about it for a long time before he thought that his father might chase the brown bear that was causing harm.

Zhao Jun didn't tell anyone about Zhao Jun being chased by the brown bear yesterday. It's not that he's afraid of being laughed at, but he's afraid that when he goes up the mountain in the future, Wang Meilan at home will miss him.

Zhao Jun did not say anything about the evil nature of the brown bear, but he knew that chasing the bear was very dangerous.

Especially today, Wang Meilan is taking men, women and children into the city, leaving only Wang Qiang and his wife at home.

Wang Qiang stayed here to deal with people who came to sell skins or buy shotguns. It was impossible for him to go up the mountain with Zhao Youcai.

And based on Zhao Jun's understanding of Zhao Youcai, Zhao Youcai would definitely chase the brown bear alone.

This is very dangerous!

"This old kid!" Wang Meilan became angry when she mentioned the past, but she was afraid that her son-in-law would listen, so she lowered her voice and said, "It only takes a day!"

Speaking of this, Wang Meilan said a little bit: "Don't worry about him, he can do whatever he wants."

The gentlemen in the family were so disobedient, and there was nothing Wang Meilan could do about it. It was an angry thing to say that Zhao Youcai was kicked out of the house. If he really did that, their whole family would be treated as a joke by the entire forest farm.

"Mom, I can't leave him alone." Zhao Jun really wasn't causing trouble. He was a little scared when he remembered the scene of being chased by a brown bear yesterday. If Wei Lai and Jiang Ming's three dogs hadn't given him a chance, there was a high probability that Zhao Jun would have suffered a loss yesterday.

Zhao Jun continued to say to Wang Meilan: "The blind bear kicked the two of them. He said, try not to take it seriously."

Last year, after leader Lao Jiang went on a bear hunt and was killed, Zhu Dajiang wanted to ask Zhao Jun to take action. Zhao Jun had the same concerns at that time.

This is not nonsense, it is something passed down from the elders.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Wang Meilan rarely spoke to Zhao Jun in a not-so-good tone, saying, "He doesn't listen, what can I do?"

Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this, waved to Wang Meilan, then put his mouth to Wang Meilan's ear and said something.

When Wang Meilan heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, while Zhao Chun smiled and punched Zhao Jun on the shoulder.

…

Zhao Youcai came out of home, holding a basin in one hand and a flashlight in the other as he walked towards the tofu shop.

Halfway there, Zhao Youcai saw a flashlight on the opposite side, and then heard a familiar voice: "Brother, what are you going to do?"

"Dayong." Zhao Youcai said, "I'll change it to tofu nao."

"Don't go." Li Dayong walked towards him and said, "I just changed back and I brought them all out for you."

At this time, Zhao Youcai used the flashlight to see Li Dayong holding a large basin in both hands.

Zhao Youcai hurried over, took out the flashlight that was held by Li Dayong under his arm and turned it off, then smiled and said, "We brothers want to go together."

As he said that, Zhao Youcai showed Li Dayong a look at his basin of soybeans and said, "I'm still thinking of bringing it to you."

"Haha..." The two brothers laughed and walked home together.

While walking, Zhao Youcai couldn't help but complain to Li Dayong: "I'm making pancakes today, but the pot can't make porridge. My mother-in-law is also looking for a rice cooker to buy."

"Huh?" Li Dayong's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he didn't express any opinion.

They arrived home within a few steps. Hearing the barking of dogs coming from the direction of their home, Zhao Youcai said to Li Dayong: "Brother, come to the work today and ask Zhang Guoqing to ask me for leave."

"Okay, brother, I understand." The two brothers didn't discuss it in advance and Li Dayong didn't need to ask. He directly responded to Zhao Youcai's words: "Go by yourself. Please pay attention."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of anything with my handle." As Zhao Youcai spoke, the two of them walked into the Zhao family yard.

Since there were soybeans in Zhao Youcai's basin, Li Dayong could not pour the tofu to him for the time being.

So, the two of them entered Zhao's house one after another.

"Ouch." Zhao Youcai suddenly entered the house. Zhao Jun, who was beside Wang Meilan, hurriedly moved inside with a guilty conscience, but Zhao Youcai said to him: "Give me a hand and let your uncle take it over!"

"Hey, hey!" Zhao Jun hurried over and reached out to take the basin Li Dayong was holding.

"Uncle, how much does it cost?" Zhao Jun asked with a smile, and Li Dayong replied with a smile: "It belongs to our two families."

"Dayong, come in!" Wang Meilan called to Li Dayong and said, "Let's eat here in the morning."

"That's incredible, sister-in-law." Li Dayong said, "My Xiaomei also makes pancakes."

"I know." Wang Meilan said with a smile: "It's all the same. I was thinking about you and your eldest brother, what are you talking about."

"It's terrible, sister-in-law." Li Dayong took the half bowl of tofu nao sent back by Zhao Jun and said, "I'm going back. I have to discuss something with Xiaomei."

"Ah..." After hearing what Li Dayong said, Wang Meilan nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, okay, then you can go back."

After watching Li Dayong leave, Wang Meilan and Zhao Chunniang continued cooking.

Logically speaking, Zhao Youcai should have returned to the house at this time. But he stood in the outhouse and said to Wang Meilan: "Lan, if you go out today, you should wear more clothes. It's freezing outside."

After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Wang Meilan said "hmm" and poured oil into the pot to start pancakes.

Zhao Chun curled her lips and turned to look at her mother.

Fire the firewood in a large pot evenly, and when both sides of the pie are golden brown and red, the pie will be cooked.

Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai, and Zhou Jianjun came to the table. Zhao Chun delivered the cakes to the room and said, "Dad, you eat first. My mother is still baking them."

The three of Zhao Jun moved their chopsticks, and after a while, Zhao Chun came in with another pile of pies.

At this time, Zhao Youcai shouted outside the house: "Lan Na, it's almost done. You should hurry up and have dinner with your daughter."

"Ah, I understand." Wang Meilan responded, her tone calm, no different from usual.

"Huh?" Zhou Jianjun nudged Zhao Jun with his elbow and said, "Look at how close our dad and mom are. If our family section wants to judge model couples this year, we should apply for them."

"It's okay to pull it down." Zhao Jun thought deeply and commented that the couple would praise it very much and it would not be conducive to the righteousness of annihilating the relationship in the future.

"What do you mean by pulling him down?" Zhao Youcai glared at Zhao Jun, seemingly dissatisfied with his son's attitude.

Zhao Jun was busy eating cakes, but Zhou Jianjun was really a filial son-in-law and kept coaxing Zhao Youcai to talk.

By about seven o'clock, when the family and the animals were full and well-fed, and the house and the outside were neatly tidied up, a few dogs were heard barking outside.

"Son, let's see if it's your uncle and the others who are here?" Wang Meilan, who was combing her hair, called out to Zhao Chun.

"Mom, it's Bell Ding who's here." Zhao Chun said, hurriedly urging Zhao Hong and Zhao Na to go out and join Little Ling Dang.

"Oh, it's time for us to go to work." Zhao Youcai stood up as soon as he spoke, put on the cotton monkey and walked to the outhouse. Zhou Jianjun hurriedly followed.

He went out of the house and called Li Dayong to the west courtyard, and the three of them walked outside the village together. After meeting Lin Xiangshun on the road, Zhao Youcai suddenly covered his stomach, stopped and waved to the three of them: "You guys go first, I have to go to the hut."

"Dad, go ahead, we'll wait for you." Zhou Jianjun pointed to the south, and there was a hut over there.

"No need to wait." Zhao Youcai said, "It's so cold outside. Hurry up and get in the car and wait for me."

After Zhao Youcai finished speaking, Li Dayong also left. Lin Xiangshun, who was standing by, had experienced such a thing before, so he didn't say anything. Only Zhou Jianjun followed Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun, looking back every few steps.

The three of them walked for about ten minutes until a whistle sounded outside the village, and Zhao Youcai walked out of the toilet.

At this time, Wang Meilan and Zhao Chun were already dressed up, and now they were waiting for the gang to come.

Suddenly, they heard two dogs barking outside the house, and Wang Meilan and Zhao Chun looked out the window together.

"Hey?" When Zhao Jun looked out the window, he saw a person who surprised him.

Zhao Jun hurried downstairs, and at this time the door of the outer room opened, and Zhao Ling came in with Ma Ling's arm around her.

"Hey, Ling'er!" Zhao Chun enthusiastically took Ma Ling's hand, touched the girl's wool gloves, and asked, "Are you cold?"

"No, sister." Ma Ling responded, and seeing Wang Meilan coming out of the house, she hurriedly greeted Wang Meilan.

Wang Meilan saw her daughter-in-law coming, and she was not in a hurry to leave. She took Ma Ling into the east room.

Seeing a stranger coming, the little lynx wanted to go forward to smell the smell, but Wang Meilan slapped him back and slapped him away.

Wang Meilan, Zhao Chun, Zhao Ling, Xu Chunyan, the four of them accompanied Ma Ling to sit on the kang in the east room.

Wang Meilan knew that Ma Ling must have something to do, but if the girl didn't say it, she didn't ask, and chatted with Ma Ling enthusiastically.

But she didn't ask, and Ma Ling didn't say it either.

It was not until the old lady, Xie Sunshi and Xie Chen came that Zhao Ling told Ma Ling what she wanted. She pointed to the triangle bag beside Ma Ling and said, "My daughter is here to bring clothes to our Jun."

Ma Ling blushed at Zhao Ling's words.

She had been coaxed by Zhao Jun before and took the initiative to promise to knit a sweater for Zhao Jun. In the past month, the girl knitted during the day and at night, and finally knitted the sweater.

Today, she wanted to go around Zhao Jun's door. If she happened to meet Zhao Jun, Ma Ling would give the sweater to Zhao Jun.

But there were dogs at the door of Zhao's house. Now the Zhao family's dog gang was not very familiar with her. When she got close, the dogs kept barking.

There was no way, Ma Ling could only wander in the distance.

If she was not at the door, where could Zhao Jun watch her?

In this way, Zhao Jun did not find her, but Zhao Ling and Wang Qiang found her first.

Zhao Ling asked what she was doing here in such a cold weather. Ma Ling said she was so nervous that she was brought to Zhao's house.

At this point, Ma Ling could only open the triangle pocket and take out the smoky-colored sweater inside.

The sweater was knitted with more than two kilograms of wool, and the wool alone cost forty or fifty yuan, which was exclusively sponsored by Ma Dafu.

Seeing this sweater, everyone praised Ma Ling and asked Zhao Jun to try it on.

Zhao Jun put it on and it fit him perfectly.

"Son, don't take it off, just wear it like this." Wang Meilan said to Zhao Jun: "Ling'er knitted it for you so well!"

"Sister!" Zhao Ling said to Wang Meilan: "When you go to the city today, help me bring a few kilograms of wool, and I will learn from you later."

"I will learn too." Xu Chunyan responded.

"Then let's buy them all." Wang Meilan smiled and said: "Let Ling'er teach us later."

As Wang Meilan finished speaking, the mother and son of the Li family and Li Tongyun came. When Wang Meilan saw that everyone was there, she said to Ma Ling, "Ling'er, we are going to the city today, you can go for a walk with us."

"I won't go, auntie." Ma Ling was a little embarrassed, but she heard Zhao Chun say, "Let's go, Ling'er, you know which wool is good, help us choose it when the time comes."

"Let's go together, sister Ling'er." Li Tongyun came over and pulled Ma Ling and said, "I'll take you for a walk."

The two of them are of the same age and both are girls, so they can really play together.

With so many people cheering together, Ma Ling followed the crowd in a daze.

When they got outside the yard, Wang Meilan directed, "Chen'er, you drive. Auntie, you and my sister Sun, you two sit in the front."

The co-pilot was given to the oldest old lady and Jie Sun, and Wang Meilan and others got on the trunk.

At this time, there were short and thick tree stumps in the trunk. This is what Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu and others had brought up in advance. It is more comfortable to sit in the back of the car.

The tree stump is thick and short, and it does not move even when it bumps in the car. It is better than a stool.

Xie Chen drove away from Zhao's house. When he was about to leave the village, Wang Meilan suddenly patted the car twice.

Xie Chen hurriedly braked, and heard Wang Meilan say to Ma Ling: "Ling'er, if you come with us, you must tell your mother?"

"Oh, it's not good!" Ma Ling, who was dizzy, realized that if she left like this, she would not be able to find anyone at home for a day. What would happen?

At this time, Wang Meilan shouted to the front: "Xiao Chen, let's go to your uncle Ma's house!"

Xie Chen agreed and drove to Ma's house. When he was about to reach Ma's house, Wang Meilan stopped the car again.

"I just remembered!" Wang Meilan said, "I put the money bag in the kang cabinet, so... I have to go back and find it for Qiangzi. Otherwise, if someone comes to sell goods, Qiangzi won't be able to find the money and won't be able to pay them."

"Then go back quickly, Mom." After Zhao Jun finished speaking, Wang Meilan said to him, "We'll go to your uncle Ma's house later. You and Ling'er go up and call your aunt and Xiaoyang. Let's go to the city for a stroll."

"Okay, Mom." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Then we'll wait for you at the door of Uncle Ma's house."

Wang Meilan responded, got out of the trunk, and ran home.

At the same time, Zhao Youcai also came out of Wang Fu's store and walked home quickly.
