The whole mountain is my hunting ground

It was a quick trip to Yongsheng. When Zhao Jun came back from Yongsheng, Zhao Youcai was sitting cross-legged on the kang, describing to Wang Meilan his bright prospects of helping at home.

Recently, Wang Meilan also felt that she was really short of manpower, so she listened patiently to Zhao Youcai's chatter.

Until she heard the door open, Wang Meilan hurriedly got off the kang, grabbed the account book she had prepared, and said to Zhao Youcai, "You put my daughter to sleep."

After saying that, Wang Meilan went to the west room.

Even though Wang Meilan is popular as the president, her son is always her backbone.

"Son." As soon as Wang Meilan arrived in the West Room, she handed the account book to Zhao Jun and said, "Look at today's account."

Zhao Jun hung the cotton monkey behind the door. When he reached out to take the account book, he casually asked: "How are you today, Mom?"

"We don't want to catch up on the first two days today." Wang Meilan shook her head and said, "The skins and bear bile are only a little over 10,000 in total."

"Okay, Mom." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "If we continue to charge like that, we won't even have enough money to borrow."

Wang Meilan also smiled when she heard this. At this time, Zhao Jun thought of something. He put down the account book and took out a cloth bag from the shoulder bag hanging on the wall.

Under Wang Meilan's gaze, Zhao Jun opened the cloth bag and revealed the pig belly inside.

Zhao Jun casually pulled over a pile of "Reference News" that Chu Anmin gave him, and then said to Wang Meilan: "Mom, put two newspapers on the table for me."

"Hey, hey!" Wang Meilan hurriedly followed the instructions, and then she saw Zhao Jun put the pig belly on the newspaper, and then used a knife to scrape the pig grit from the inside.

"Hey, son?" Wang Meilan looked at Zhao Jun's operation in surprise and asked, "Why is this pig sand like this?"

Compared with the previous two pig gizzards, the pig gizzards this time were blood red.

"This pig is extraordinary, Mom." Zhao Jun continued to scrape the pig sand and said, "This pig has lived a long time. If not ten years, it must be eight years."

"I'm telling you." Wang Meilan agreed, "That liver weighs almost fifteen pounds."

While the two women were talking, Zhao Youcai opened the door and came in.

Wang Meilan turned to look at him and asked, "Are the two girls asleep?"

"Yeah." Zhao Youcai said, "If you don't leave the house, those two girls will fall asleep in a while."

Hearing what he said, Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at him. Those two children couldn't sleep because it was all because of him, Zhao Youcai, who was whining there.

"What is this?" At this time, Zhao Youcai turned his attention to the work in Zhao Jun's hand.

Zhao Jun is scraping pig grits. On the left is a small lynx with its front paws on the table. On the right is a small black bear sitting there watching Zhao Jun's operation.

When Zhao Youcai asked, Zhao Jun, Little Lynx, and Little Black Bear all looked up at him.

"Killing that wild boar today will bring out pig sand." Zhao Jun responded and continued working.

Zhao Youcai also came over and watched Zhao Jun scrape the blood-red pig grit onto the newspaper.

As soon as he touched the pig belly, Zhao Jun didn't let Wang Meilan do anything. He got off the kang and sent the pig belly to the outhouse. When Zhao Jun came back, Zhao Youcai was holding the newspaper and lifting the pig sand to a high place.

The pig grits just taken out are a bit wet and need to be dried. Zhao Jun's family has many children, and there are two little guys who don't know much about human affairs, so he put the pig sand on the top of the kang cabinet.

"Mom." At this time, Zhao Jun said to Wang Meilan: "Before we leave, please help me think about it. I have sold all the pig sand I made these times."

"A wasteful thing." Zhao Jun just finished his words. Before Wang Meilan could say anything, Zhao Youcai scolded him and said, "That good thing, why are you selling it? You won't be able to buy it when you use it again." ”

"What should I use it for?" Zhao Jun asked, and then said: "How good is it to use oxytetracycline for anti-inflammatory? Besides, we are not doctors, who would use this thing?"

When Zhao Jun said this, Zhao Youcai fell silent.

Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai, and then said to Zhao Jun: "Okay, son, Mom, let me think about it for you. So what... should we sell all the bears we killed ourselves?"

"Sell!" Zhao Jun said resolutely: "Didn't I, Mrs. Jiang, give us an open one? Keep that one, it will be enough for anything in the future. When we finish hanging the bear bile in the warehouse, we will give it to him Sold."

"That's okay, son." Wang Meilan said, "Before you leave, I'll have installed it for you the day before."

"Yeah." Zhao Jun responded, and then said to Zhao Youcai: "Dad, if I weren't at home, you would have to worry more about the family."

Zhao Jun said this just to set the stage. But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Youcai said, "Then you don't have to worry about it. I'll take care of you when you go out."

"Huh?" Zhao Jun heard something was wrong with Zhao Youcai's words. Wang Meilan smiled and said to Zhao Jun: "My son, this time your father supports us."

"Ah?" Zhao Jun was startled, but when Wang Meilan blinked at him, Zhao Jun hurriedly said, "What's going on, Mom?"

"Your dad." Wang Meilan gestured to Zhao Youcai, and then said, "I feel sorry for you and I. We are so busy. You have to help us share the burden at home."

After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhao Youcai raised his head in cooperation.

"Oh, that's great." Zhao Jun looked at Zhao Youcai in surprise and asked, "Dad, do you want to ask for leave from the canteen?"

"What kind of leave are you asking for?" Wang Meilan stretched out her hand to grab Zhao Jun, and then said: "Your father and that... who director in the field?"

"Security chief Yan." Zhao Youcai replied, Wang Meilan nodded repeatedly, and continued to say to Zhao Jun: "Your father has already told him that he will give the quota of camp forest protection to your father, and then your father can help us at home."

"Oh!" Zhao Jun heard this, pretended to be surprised and looked at Zhao Youcai, and asked: "Dad, can you stay at home for a long time? My uncle has been working at home for a few days, and he is very annoyed."

"Why not?" Wang Meilan answered for Zhao Youcai before he did, and imitated what Zhao Youcai said before, and said to Zhao Jun: "Your uncle is a fickle person, how can he chase your father away?"

Zhao Jun pursed his lips to prevent himself from laughing. He had discussed with Wang Qiang before, asking Zhao Youcai to come home to help. But before he could implement it, Zhao Youcai came to the door by himself.

This is like a mountain runner going up the mountain to trap roe deer, and the wire trap is not ready yet, and the stupid roe deer comes home by itself.

"Your dad is so experienced." Wang Meilan still praised Zhao Youcai, saying, "Whether it's hide or bear gall, he can recognize it at a glance. Your dad also said that if he were at home, he could cook for us."

"Oh!" Zhao Jun looked at Zhao Youcai with surprise and said, "Dad, that's great. I can't even eat enough of the two dishes you cooked tonight."

"Really?" Zhao Youcai didn't even have a chance to answer. As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, Wang Meilan echoed, "Your dad My sister just burped while lying in bed. It's been a long time. The child must have eaten the most tonight. "

"Yes, yes." Zhao Jun said: "Mom, look, the dishes you cooked are all left, right? Look at my dad's fried pig heart, he even ate the peppers."

"Not bad..." Wang Meilan just opened her mouth, and Zhao Jun took over the conversation again, saying: "Mom, my dad has to be at home, let's not talk about anything else. My two sisters are growing up, and the food must be kept up, that's fine!"

"Did you hear me?" Wang Meilan knocked the back of her hand on the dizzy Zhao Youcai's shoulder and said, "The family is counting on you."

"Ah..." Zhao Youcai said in a daze, "That... that's fine."

"It's fine as long as it's fine." Wang Meilan smiled and asked Zhao Jun, "Son, are you going to chase that blind bear tomorrow?"

"Of course you will." Zhao Jun sighed and said, "But tomorrow, my uncle will have to go. I still have no experience."

"Today is not that." Wang Meilan immediately Zhao Youcai understood what Zhao Jun meant and helped explain: "Someone wants to sell bear gall. It's not good for Xiaochen to stay at home. What does he know? Is that why he left it to your uncle?"

"Yes." Zhao Jun said: "My uncle is a little worried."

"Look, your father said that he is not determined." Wang Meilan said: "This is a special case, he still has to go. If he wants to go up the mountain before he has nothing to do, can I stop him?"

When Wang Meilan said this, Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up instantly.

...

The next morning, Zhao Youcai got up at five o'clock. He took a small basin to the tofu shop to exchange for large tofu.

After returning from the tofu shop, Zhao Youcai stewed the tofu.

Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan came out of the east and west rooms at the same time. Wang Meilan said apologetically, "Oh, I got up late today."

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Youcai smiled and said, "I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't call you."

"Mom, look at my dad." Zhao Jun said to Wang Meilan with a smile, "He got into the role in advance and started cooking for us."

"Hehe..." The three of them smiled together. Zhao Youcai smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You and your mother go wash your faces. I've filled the thermos with hot water."

"Hey!" Wang Meilan responded happily, and then said to Zhao Jun, "It's the first time your mother has enjoyed this treatment after more than 20 years of marriage."

The food came out of the pot, Zhao Youcai added water to the big pot, and poured the potatoes and squash that had been washed and cut in advance into the pot.

Then, the three of them sat on the kang and ate, talking and laughing.

Zhao Jun mixed the stewed potatoes with the rice and added some peppers and pickles. He ate two bowls of rice.

This was Zhao Jun's normal amount of food, but Wang Meilan praised Zhao Youcai.

"Look, my son, how delicious it is." Wang Meilan smiled and said to Zhao Youcai, "You still cook the best."

Zhao Youcai laughed, and at this time Zhao Jun put down his chopsticks, and while preparing to get off the kang, he said to Zhao Youcai, "Dad, you eat, I'll go out to feed the dog."

"No, no." Zhao Youcai hurriedly stopped Zhao Jun and said, "Son, you take a break after dinner, and it's time to clean up and go. Dad finish this bite, I'll go out to feed the dog."

After that, Zhao Youcai picked up the bowl and ate the rice.

Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan looked at each other, and the mother and daughter lowered their heads at the same time.

"Lan, you clean up." Zhao Youcai put down his bowl, left a message for Wang Meilan, got off the kang and walked out of the house.

Put the dog food in a big basin, Zhao Youcai carried the basin and walked out of the house.

Zhao Jun, who was lying on the kang, got up, looked out the window, and then said to Wang Meilan: "Mom, Xiaofei came to give me money today, and you can have a meal with them after that."

"Son, don't worry about this." Wang Meilan said: "There is nothing else at home, there is also a big goose."

"Yes, yes." Zhao Jun was afraid that Wang Meilan would say "There is nothing else at home, there is also a donkey."

"Money and other things, you should check it in person, don't be embarrassed." Zhao Jun reminded Wang Meilan: "This is the money we borrowed from their brigade, it does not involve individuals."

"Yeah, Mom knows."

While the two mothers were discussing the matter, Zhao Youcai was feeding the dog outside the house. A spoonful of dog food was placed in the basin. Qinglong lowered his head to lick the food. Zhao Youcai touched the back of Qinglong's head with one hand and said with a smile: "Eat, eat. After a while, you can go up the mountain with me again."

Speaking of this and thinking of this, Zhao Youcai couldn't help laughing.

"Woof!" Suddenly, Qinglong raised his head and shouted, startling Zhao Youcai.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

"Woof woof woof..."

It's not that Qinglong wants to bite Zhao Youcai, but that there's someone in the afterlife, and the dogs in the yard are barking outside.

Zhao Youcai looked outside the courtyard and saw an old cow appearing at the entrance of the courtyard.

Zhao Youcai was startled when he saw the ox pulling a sledge behind him. The person driving the sledge was his good brother Zhang Lifu.

"Second brother, look after the dog for me." Zhang Lifu stopped the sledge and shouted at Zhao Youcai.

"Stop barking!" Zhao Youcai scolded the dog, and then strode out of the courtyard.

"Lao Liu, have you eaten yet?" Zhao Youcai asked, Zhang Lifu said, "My second brother came here after eating."

"Give it to the old cow..." Zhao Youcai subconsciously wanted Zhang Lifu to tie the cow to the stake at the door, but before he could finish his words, he remembered something bad.

So, Zhao Youcai waved his hand to Zhang Lifu, pointed to the big tree on the opposite side of the road, and said: "Tie it over there. When we're done, we two brothers will go to the house."

"I'm not going into the house, second brother." Zhang Lifu held the reins in one hand and waved the whip in the other, refusing: "I'll say something, and I'll leave after I finish speaking."

As soon as Zhang Lifu finished speaking, the door of Zhao's house opened. Zhao Jun came out of the house and shouted to the courtyard door: "Dad, come into the house with Uncle Zhang."

"Jun, I'm not going in." Zhang Lifu shouted, "Come here and I'll say a few words to you."

Despite his loose tongue, he spoke quite fast. At this time, Zhao Youcai couldn't stop him.

After he finished shouting, Zhang Lifu looked at Zhao Youcai and asked, "What's wrong, second brother?"

Zhao Youcai twitched the corner of his mouth and only raised his eyelids to Zhang Lifu, but said nothing.

"Uncle Zhang." Zhao Jun came to Zhang Lifu and asked, "What's going on? Why don't you go into the house?"

Seeing Zhang Lifu coming from the window, Zhao Jun guessed that he probably wanted to tell him the news about the mountain animals.

Sure enough, Zhang Lifu said: "Jun, that old ghost in our village let a blind man pick it up in the shack."

"Ah?" Zhao Jun heard this and instantly thought of the deaths of Deng Zhaoshan and Qin Dajiang.

So, Zhao Jun hurriedly asked: "Uncle Zhang, where is his shack?"

"Under the fork on the way from 112 to 109." As soon as Zhang Lifu said this, Zhao Jun's expression changed and he said, "Didn't the ranger tell him that no one can live in the shack over there?"

On the day he found out that Deng Zhaoshan was dead, Zhao Jun told Liu Jinyong on the mountain. Ask him to give a message to the team leader of the ranger, and ask the ranger to notify the nearby camps and shacks to let everyone be careful of bear bully attacks.

Especially those who live in shacks, it is best to go home and hide for a few days. As for Qin Dajiang, he didn't have time to notify him. But it's been two days, so old ghost Bai should have received the letter.

"It seems that there is." Zhang Lifu said: "The two of them didn't take it seriously, plus there were two condoms that didn't slip away..."

Zhao Jun understood as soon as he heard it. The gangster was in trouble at home and would give up his life rather than his wealth. In addition, people have a luck mentality and think that bad luck will not happen to them.

"How are the two of them injured?" Zhao Youcai asked. He analyzed from Zhang Lifu's words that one of the two old men must be fine. Otherwise, if the blind man had taken out the shack last night, why would the news have been spread this morning?

"Old Ghost Bai's arm was bitten off." Zhang Lifu said: "His son is fine. He left it to his father overnight. When we entered the village just now and there was a quarrel, everyone went over to take a look."

"Uncle Zhang." Zhao Jun asked Zhang Lifu, "Can you find his shack?"

"Yes." Zhang Lifu said, and Zhao Jun asked again: "Do you have anything to do today?"

"It's nothing." Zhang Lifu asked, "Jun, shall I go with you?"

"Uncle Zhang, go home and deliver the sledge." Zhao Jun said, "When you're done, just wait at home until I pick you up."

"Okay." Zhang Lifu tugged on the reins and said to Zhao Youcai, "Then I'm leaving, second brother."

Zhao Youcai twitched the corner of his mouth and saw Zhao Jun turn around and run into the house. Zhao Youcai followed quickly with the dog food bowl in his arms.

"Son!" Zhao Youcai stopped Zhao Jun and said, "Dad, are you going with you?"

"Dad, hurry up and feed the dog." Zhao Jun's words made Zhao Youcai stop abruptly.

Just when he was staring at Zhao Jun with his small eyes, he heard Zhao Jun say again: "Hurry up to work today and deal with your work matters. After that... we will talk about it later. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Hey, okay, son, Dad knows." Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Zhao Youcai smiled on his face.
