The whole mountain is my hunting ground

"What are you two doing?" Li Tongyun was startled when her arms were grabbed. Li Baoyu saw that the naughty kid had run away. He laughed dryly and said to Li Tongyun, "Sister... I'm afraid that kid will take things, so I want to protect you."

Li Tongyun felt warm in her heart when she heard this. Just like she said, Li Dazhi changed jobs every now and then. When she came to a new environment, she was surrounded by strangers. She was stubborn, so she didn't have many friends.

Now that she had arrived in Yong'an Forest District, Li Tongyun had finally found an organization. "Hey?" At this time, Wang Meilan held Ma Ling with one hand and waved to Li Tongyun with the other hand, saying, "Come on, girl, I'll buy you some candied haws."

Li Tongyun smiled and walked over quickly.

There was a man pushing a cart selling candied haws on the side of the road. There was a pile tied to the handlebars, and the pile was full of more than 30 strings of candied haws.

When Wang Meilan saw the candied haws, she immediately thought of her children at home and said to the vendor, "I want all of them."

"What?" The vendor, with his hands in his sleeves, was stunned. He made candied haws at home in the morning and came out after lunch. He had just stood here and had no time to shout, but the buyers came.

It was so cold, who would want to stand outside? It would be better to go home early.

There were 34 strings of candied haws in total, and Wang Meilan bought them all.

Normally, candied haws are not packaged, but Wang Meilan wanted so much. The vendor couldn't give the whole stack to Wang Meilan, so he ran to the store and asked the pastry seller on the first floor to give him a piece of butter paper, and then went out to wrap the remaining candied haws.

Wang Meilan picked the first string of candied haws and gave it to Ma Ling, and the second string to Li Tongyun.

As soon as Li Tongyun took the candied haws, the naughty child rushed out with his box gun again.

The naughty kid stood still and just raised the gun in his hand, he saw Li Tongyun holding a candied haws and waving it at him.

The naughty kid's eyes were straightened instantly.

Then he saw Li Tongyun open his mouth, and with a "click", he bit a hawthorn into his mouth.

As he chewed, Li Tongyun's cheeks bulged.

Seeing this, the naughty kid turned around and ran. Not long after, a child's cry came from the depths of the alley.

The peddler pedaled away, and the Zhaojia Chamber of Commerce, led by Wang Meilan, walked into the department store.

Looking at Wang Meilan walking in front, Zhao Jun remembered the first time he and Wang Meilan went to Daohua County, and Wang Meilan was at a loss when she got off the car. Compared with that day, Wang Meilan's temperament has changed dramatically.

Today is not Sunday, and it is not time to get off work. There are not many customers in the department store in the afternoon.

"Oranges!" Seeing the oranges in the bamboo basket, Wang Meilan's eyes lit up.

The oranges these days are not big, and the skin is not shiny, but they taste good.

"How much is this per pound?" Wang Meilan pointed at the oranges and asked the salesperson, who said, "85 cents."

This is not cheap.

Although forestry workers like Zhao Jun earn dozens of dollars a month, money is everywhere in their lives. Not many people in the city can afford to buy oranges.

"How much is this basket..." Wang Meilan was pulled away by Zhao Jun before she finished speaking.

"Mom, let's buy it when we come back." Zhao Jun raised his hand and pointed upstairs, saying to Wang Meilan, "Don't we want to buy a rice cooker?"

"Yes!" Wang Meilan, who was reminded, walked upstairs with ease. The TV in her east room was bought upstairs.

Ma Ling is also very familiar with this place. The down jacket, jeans, and hairpins she wears are all bought upstairs.

There is also wool yarn. Last time Zhao Jun was upstairs, he bought two pounds of red wool for Ma Ling and asked Ma Ling to knit a sweater for her.

When they got upstairs, everyone dispersed. Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei went to look at the rice cooker, Zhao Chun, Ma Ling, Li Tongyun, and Xu Chunyan went to look at the wool, the old lady and Xie Sun wanted to buy needles and thread, and Li Baoyu and Li Ruhai ran to the place where books were sold.

Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai, and Xie Chen didn't want to buy anything, so they wandered aimlessly on the second floor.

Suddenly, Zhao Youcai pulled Zhao Jun to a corner and said, "Give me fifty yuan."

"Dad, what do you want to buy?" Although Zhao Jun had already reached into his pocket to take out money, he still asked Zhao Youcai.

"I want to buy a pack of cigarettes." Zhao Youcai said so, and Zhao Jun was startled and said, "Didn't you just unpack the pack at home?"

He wanted fifty yuan, so he must be going to buy Shilin.

Recently, Wang Meilan and Zhao Jun discussed that after the Shilin at home was finished, Zhao Youcai would smoke Yingchun. Now their family is in the start-up stage, and every penny should be spent on the right things.

Zhao Jun agreed with Wang Meilan's point of view. What kind of family is it to smoke Shilin every day?

"I want to do something." Zhao Jun frowned when he heard this and said, "Dad, what do you want to do?"

Zhao Jun was puzzled, not because Zhao Youcai wanted to do something. But in Yong'an Forest District, what kind of thing did they need to ask for help? Who could make their family spend so much money?

"What are you asking about, kid?" Zhao Youcai looked back and didn't see Wang Meilan coming over, so he turned back and urged Zhao Jun, "Hurry up!"

"Dad!" Zhao Jun got curious, and while taking money out of his pocket, he asked Zhao Youcai, "What's your matter? How about I help you?"

Before, Zhao Youcai had asked Zhao Jun to help him transfer jobs, but Zhao Jun didn't think about it at this time. He thought Zhao Youcai still had illusions about him, but he didn't know that Zhao Youcai had already seen through him.

Knowing that Zhao Jun couldn't help him, Zhao Youcai set his sights on Yan Shugang.

But he and Yan Shugang were not familiar with each other, so he wanted to buy a pack of cigarettes to build his relationship.

So when Zhao Youcai heard that Zhao Jun wanted to do something for him, he squinted his eyes and glanced at him, but said nothing.

Seeing that Zhao Youcai didn't say anything, Zhao Jun took five big unity notes and smiled: "Dad, just tell me what it is. If I can't do it, I'll ask my brother-in-law to do it for you."

"Why would I need you?" Zhao Youcai snatched the money from Zhao Jun's hand, and then said unhappily: "I don't know him?"

After that, Zhao Youcai turned around to buy cigarettes.

Looking at Zhao Youcai's back as he left, Zhao Jun's mouth corners slightly raised.

The second floor of the department store in the afternoon became very lively because of the arrival of Zhao Jun and his group.

Jin Xiaomei went to the counter and asked, and was immediately dumbfounded. A Triangle brand automatic rice cooker was priced at 115.

Jin Xiaomei was dumbfounded, not because it was expensive, but because it was cheap. Of course, cheap is relative, after all, Li Dayong's monthly salary is only over 100.

But because the gifts from Wang, Zhang, and Jie to Zhao were all worth thousands of dollars, Jin Xiaomei felt that it was a bit shabby for her family to give Zhao a rice cooker.

But there was nothing else to give, so Jin Xiaomei gritted her teeth and bought three rice cookers at once.

Two of them were for the Zhao family. More and more people ate at the Zhao family every day, and one rice cooker was not enough.

The other one was prepared by Jin Xiaomei for Li Baoyu. As the New Year was approaching, the day when Li Baoyu would separate and live alone was getting closer, and Jin Xiaomei was more and more reluctant to give it up.

I don’t know how Jin Xiaomei talked to Wang Meilan, but in the end Wang Meilan accepted the kindness of the Li family and accepted the two rice cookers.

Then, the two of them rushed to meet up with Zhao Chun and others, and they also wanted to buy wool.

This group of people caught up with the order, one bought five kilograms, and the other bought eight kilograms. Among the women, Xu Chunyan bought the least. Her family invested all their money in the Chamber of Commerce, and she only bought two kilograms of wool to knit a big sweater for Lin Xiangshun.

Of course, Wang Meilan bought the most. She planned to knit a sweater for Zhao Youcai, Zhao Chun, Zhao Hong, Zhao Na, Zhou Jianjun and the old lady, and she bought ten kilograms of wool for them all at once.

The wool contained 25% wool, and one kilogram cost 60 yuan, so ten kilograms cost 600 yuan.

In addition, Wang Meilan brought six kilograms for Zhao Ling, which was enough for their family of three.

What people didn't expect was that Xie Sun also bought ten kilograms of wool. She wanted to knit one for herself, Xie Zhong, Xie Chen, Liu Lanying and Xie Yingming. Of course, if Xie Sun knitted alone, she would be exhausted. But they were a big group of people who knitted at home when they had nothing to do.

The price of wool depends on the percentage of wool in it. Xie Sun's wool was not that expensive, and she only spent 400 yuan on ten kilograms.

But the two of them bought 26 kilograms, plus Jin Xiaomei's eight kilograms and Li Tongyun's six kilograms, and the people selling wool were stunned. In a normal month, she might not be able to sell so many.

After several women paid, Wang Meilan shouted to Li Baoyu.

Wool yarn is not very heavy, but it takes up space. Two kilograms of wool yarn, that's a big pile.

Li Baoyu ran over, took off the sack from his body, took out a large sack from it, and put all the wool yarn into it in front of the shocked eyes of the salesperson.

At this time, Zhao Youcai, who was buying cigarettes, also slipped back. Everyone had nothing to buy upstairs, so they went downstairs.

"Sister Ling'er." When going downstairs, Li Tongyun said to Ma Ling: "You have to teach me how to knit sweaters."

Ma Ling smiled and said: "Then come to my house tomorrow."

"Girl." Wang Meilan interrupted and said to Ma Ling: "You should come to your aunt's house. We are all waiting for you to teach us."

"This..." Ma Ling hesitated. The girl was shy and was afraid that she would be laughed at by the people in the village if she went to her husband's house every day before getting married.

Seeing Wang Meilan speak, Xu Chunyan hurriedly said, "Come on, Ling'er, my second sister-in-law will pick you up tomorrow!"

For this kind of thing, it is different for someone to pick you up and for you to come by yourself. Hearing what Xu Chunyan said, Ma Ling didn't say anything.

As soon as she got downstairs, Wang Meilan was like a mouse falling into a rice jar. She bought ten kilograms of small peppers, cucumbers, and garlic sprouts shipped from the south.

She also bought two baskets of apples and oranges. Whenever someone stopped her, Wang Meilan said that there were too many people at home.

At this time, Zhao Youcai had become a pile of people. He looked at Wang Meilan in the trunk and muttered to himself that Wang Meilan was a spendthrift.

There were enough sacks brought from home, and the vegetables and fruits were covered with two layers and placed in the trunk with tarpaulin.

Wang Meilan bought some cakes and canned food before she stopped. A group of people got on the car, and it was almost six o'clock when they got home.

At this time, everyone who worked had returned. Zhao Ling cooked at home first, and Lin Xue helped her when she got home.

After eating and drinking, the diners dispersed and agreed to come to the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow to learn crafts and knit sweaters.

When the diners left, Wang Meilan asked each family to take a newspaper back.

Seeing that Li Baoyu and Li Tongyun had left with the books they bought during the day, Li Ruhai called Wang Meilan and asked, "Auntie, where is the book I bought?"

"Book?" Wang Meilan was stunned and asked, "Ruhai, what book did you buy?"

"That...that one." Li Ruhai was embarrassed to say the name of the book, and only said, "Auntie, the book with those newspapers."

"Newspaper...ah..." Wang Meilan looked back and said to Li Ruhai, "Didn't your mother let you buy it?"

"Ah..." Li Ruhai was stunned, and then heard Wang Meilan say, "If you don't buy it, I bought it myself."

Li Ruhai: "..."

"Okay, Ruhai, you go back first." Wang Meilan said with a smile: "You wait until I finish reading, and I'll see what's in the book."

Li Ruhai left unhappy, but at this moment Zhao Youcai poked his head out of the west room and asked Wang Meilan: "How many words do you know? Do you read?"

"I know a lot." Wang Meilan opened the page she had read before, showed it to Zhao Youcai and sneered: "Look, this is where women are taught how to divorce!"

This is wrong. They teach how to manage a marriage and then give some negative teaching materials. Wang Meilan studied those negative teaching materials.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Youcai asked Wang Meilan, "Don't you want to go through it?"

Wang Meilan did not answer when she heard the words, but pointed to an article above and said: "Look what it says here, this woman and her man are just playing around with money and not recruiting, but his wife got anxious and chased her. He went to work."

"What are you doing at work?" Zhao Youcai asked innocently, "He lives in work?"

"Go to work and accompany him to work." Wang Meilan's eyes flashed coldly, and she sneered: "Aren't you disobedient? His wife accompanies him to work and off work every day. How wonderful is this?"

Zhao Youcai is not stupid, and he didn't drink too much today. From Wang Meilan's words, Zhao Youcai heard a strong threat.

…

It's late at night and the night wind is still.

The mountain breeze in the winter evening makes the branches all over the mountain rustle.

In a shack, Qin Dajiang was sleeping soundly on the kang. Mountain runners are used to going to bed early and getting up early.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared outside the shack.

"Bang!" A huge force pushed the shack door open, and a brown bear jumped directly onto the kang.

"Huh?" Qin Dajiang was awakened and couldn't see anything. He only smelled a fishy wind blowing towards his face.

He has lived for most of his life and knows that such a thing is not a good thing, but the next second, Qin Dajiang was pinned down by the brown bear.

Qin Dajiang couldn't see clearly, so he only used his fists to try to cut off the blind man's nose.

Qin Dajiang has been running in the mountains for half his life, so he is really experienced. He used this set of king's eight punches to hit the brown bear's nose to gain a chance to escape.

But the brown bear pulled its claws, then lowered its head and bit, and there was a crunching sound, followed by a scream, and Qin Dajiang almost died from the pain.

There was another crunch, and the brown bear bit off Qin Dajiang's other arm.

The screams were endless. When Qin Dajiang was unconscious, he thought of his son Qin Qiang.

"Son, please don't take revenge on dad!"
