The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Every time Zhao Jun launched a siege, whether he killed bear bile or peeled off the skin, all the money after selling it was given to Wang Meilan.

This is the rule of the elders. There are thousands of people in a family, but one person is in charge.

In this family, not to mention Zhao Jun, even the salary Zhao Youcai got back had to be handed over to Wang Meilan. Then, Wang Meilan gave him pocket money.

But Wang Meilan never failed her eldest son, so Zhao Jun never lacked money.

It's just that this mother has one attitude towards her son and another towards the old man.

But this was Zhao Youcai's own doing. Before it was revealed that he hid money in his cotton jacket, Wang Meilan really didn't restrict him from spending money.

At that time, Zhao Youcai was quite dark. How brave are you to lose more than half of your money by selling a lynx skin?

And now Zhao Youcai is greedy enough. He just wanted to sell the wild boar and use all the money he earned instead of receiving Wang Meilan's reward of dozens of dollars.

But if this was the case, Zhao Youcai would lead his dogs up the mountain to fight the siege when Zhao Jun and his wife were not at home. They would hunt wild boars and send them to Liu Renshan in exchange for money. Then he brought all the dogs back without anyone noticing.

However, Wang Meilan rarely spends a day away from home. But Zhao Youcai remembered that when Zhao Jun and his son went to Lingnan to purchase, he went into the mountains to hunt the Wild Boar King.

Although he failed in the end, Zhao Youcai believed that it was not a crime of war. Moreover, since that day when the lynx was killed with one shot, Zhao Youcai was quite high-spirited.

Thinking of this, Zhao Youcai mentioned that he wanted Wang Meilan to follow Zhao Jun to sell mallets.

A long ridge divides two provinces. The supply and marketing cooperative on the south side of Lingnan accepts sticks but not bear bile or skins.

But Lingxi is different from Lingnan. The supply and marketing cooperative collects bear bile and skins, but not sticks.

Also, the state-owned pharmacy in town charges low prices. If you want to sell sticks, you have to go to the market.

This requires taking a small train to the town first, and then taking a bus for more than an hour to the city.

It happened again and again. When I returned to town from the city and caught the five o'clock train, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening when I returned to Yong'an Tun.

Therefore, Zhao Youcai told Wang Meilan to accompany Zhao Jun to sell mallets.

Wang Meilan was startled when she heard this, rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai, and said, "What am I going to do? What's going to happen at home now that I'm gone?"

"Oops!" Zhao Youcai thought, Wang Meilan was not at home, but Jin Xiaomei was still at home next door. When the time comes to take the dog out, doesn’t Jin Xiaomei have to tell Wang Meilan?

But at this moment, Wang Meilan muttered: "Xiaomei won't be at home tomorrow. She asked me to help her take care of Xiaoqiao? What will they do after school if I leave?"

As soon as Wang Meilan said this, Zhao Youcai became lively in an instant. While he was secretly happy in his heart, he rolled his eyes and said, "Is that what you said? Am I not at home?"

"Ah? Are you at home?" Wang Meilan was stunned. She frowned at Zhao Youcai and asked, "You are at home! Why should I go? You can just go with your son!"

Just now, Zhao Youcai asked Wang Meilan and Zhao Jun to sell mallets. Wang Meilan thought that Zhao Youcai had something to do with his work unit and couldn't ask for leave.

At this time, listening to Zhao Youcai's intention, he took leave and was at home, but asked himself to follow his son to the city. This made Wang Meilan a little confused.

When the couple was talking, the two little girls couldn't understand, so they just kept busy cooking, while Zhao Jun looked on coldly.

"Then what..." Zhao Youcai said: "Don't you think about it? You have worked hard for our family all day long. Tomorrow you and your son will go for a walk in the market. If you see something you like, you will buy something."

Wang Meilan's eyes lit up after hearing Zhao Youcai's words.

Women love shopping, regardless of age or generation.

Especially since she made a fortune selling bear bile and leopard skins, Wang Meilan was thinking about when she could show off her style again during her trip to Lingnan.

Wang Meilan slowly put down her chopsticks and aligned the two chopsticks with one hand. At the same time, she rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai and said with a smile: "You said that, so you don't have to spend money on things?"

"Spend money!" Zhao Youcai had just picked up the wine glass. After hearing Wang Meilan's words, he put the glass down on the table and said loudly: "What are the conditions of our family? Are you still afraid of spending money?"

"Mom!" Suddenly, Zhao Hong said to Wang Meilan, "I want to go too!"

"I'll go too!" Xiao Zhao Na followed suit.

"You two can't go!" Wang Meilan fooled the children and said, "Mom and your elder brother will go to do errands tomorrow and we can't take you with us. You two go to school well and your dad will prepare delicious food for you when you come back from school. Mom will be back in the evening." .”

Okay, Wang Meilan was moved, and the matter was settled immediately!

Hearing what Wang Meilan said, the two little girls were not very happy, but Zhao Youcai on the side smiled and raised his eyebrows.

But at this moment, the smile on Zhao Youcai's face instantly froze when he heard "Dad".

"This little kid..." Zhao Youcai glanced at Zhao Jun, feeling that his son was going to cause trouble for him.

Sure enough, Zhao Jun lowered his body slightly, putting his chest close to the Kang table, then turned to look at Zhao Youcai and said, "Dad, my mother will go to market tomorrow, won't you support her money?"

"What?" Zhao Youcai became anxious upon hearing this. He glared at Zhao Jun and said, "How can I have money? I will support..."

"Why don't you have any money, dad? Didn't my mother give you fifty yuan that day?" Zhao Jun directly interrupted Zhao Youcai, and the fifty yuan he just mentioned was Zhao Youcai's reward for wearing a lynx skin.

"I..." Zhao Youcai just started to speak, but Wang Meilan said on the other side: "After you spent your expenses the day before yesterday, I will give you five yuan from my son."

Zhao Youcai: "..."

Normally, spending means paying money out. But in the Northeast, when talking about expenses, we generally refer to wages.

Zhao Youcai knew that the two of them were relying on him, but for his plan to catch the pig, Zhao Youcai moved his hands under the kang table, then glanced at Zhao Jun, and then looked at Wang Meilan.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Youcai twisted his shoulders and turned around in an instant.

Then, Zhao Youcai quickly tugged on the rope that tied his trousers and unbuttoned his outer trousers, revealing the thin cotton trousers underneath.

These days, people in mountainous areas don’t wear underwear or long johns. The wind is strong and cold in the mountains, so I wear thin cotton pants in late October and autumn.

Zhao Youcai looked back and saw that although Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan were both looking at him, they were still sitting in their original positions without moving.

Zhao Youcai felt relieved and turned around quickly, then pulled up the waistband of his cotton trousers, revealing a small pocket in the waistband of the cotton trousers.

This little pocket is actually made of socks.

For cotton socks, just take the sock pile and sew the bottom, and sew the sock cuff inside the cotton trousers, and it's also elastic.

The stitching of this little pocket is amazing!

But considering that Zhao Youcai could stuff money into cotton-padded jackets and trousers in the past, his needlework is amazing!

Even the idle rural ladies can’t keep up with him!

At this time, Zhao Youcai grabbed the waistband of his cotton trousers with one hand, put his other hand into his sock pocket, and pulled out a wad of money.

With so much effort, no wonder Zhao Youcai asked Li Dayong to reward Li Ruhai on the commuter bus that day instead of paying for it himself.

The moment he grabbed the money in his hand, Zhao Youcai turned around suddenly and saw that Zhao Jun, Wang Meilan, Zhao Hong, and Zhao Na had not moved, but they all looked at him with strange eyes.

Zhao Youcai ignored them and turned around quickly, opened the money and took out the last ten-dollar note, then put the other money in a pile and stuffed it into his small pocket.

Zhao Youcai put the big ball in front of his knees, quickly adjusted his trousers, then pulled down his shirt, then turned around and raised his hand, his arm across Zhao Hong's head, handed the money to Wang Meilan and said, "Well, Lan, here you go."

Wang Meilan was stunned for a moment and whispered: "Put it there first and give it to me after you finish eating."

When Zhao Youcai heard this, he was instantly furious. This woman didn't think she could afford to spend so much money on her!

"Dad, I'll keep it for my mother." At this time, Zhao Jun suddenly stood up and took the money from Zhao Youcai's hand.

Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan were both startled. Zhao Youcai thought to himself: "You little brat are just going to make me lose money!"

But what Wang Meilan was thinking was, wouldn't it be a good idea to just let her son wash his hands before continuing to eat?

But as Wang Meilan glanced away, she felt relieved. It turned out that Zhao Jun's bowl was empty.

Zhao Youcai's temper came and went quickly. He also thought about it. He had spent all his own money, so why not make a good deal with the shopkeeper at home?

Thinking of this, Zhao Youcai said to Wang Meilan: "Lan Na, go to the city this time and see if there is anything this big..."

As he said that, Zhao Youcai made a small round shape for Wang Meilan with both hands and said, "It's in a small round box."

"What the hell?" Wang Meilan asked curiously.

"For face wiping." Zhao Youcai said: "I heard them say, what is it called Wan Zi Qian Hong? All the girls in the city use this. You should also buy a box of Fine Skin."

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Youcai hurriedly added: "Aren't I going to get you money? Just buy it."

"Yeah, it's just like clam oil." Wang Meilan smiled lightly and said, "I'll buy it."

As soon as Wang Meilan finished speaking, Zhao Hong took the few rice grains left in the bowl into his mouth, then pushed the bowl and said, "I've finished eating."

"Have enough." Wang Meilan warned, and little Zhao Na over there also put down her chopsticks and got off the table.

Wang Meilan only had a mouthful of rice left in the bowl. She took it into her mouth and stood up, stacking the bowl with one hand and putting away the chopsticks with the other.

At this time, only Zhao Youcai was sitting at the Kang table, taking a sip of wine and a sip of food, eating and smiling.

Zhao Jun probably knew what his father was going to do, but he was already prepared, so he went back to the house to play with the kitten.

The kitten is the little lynx. Since yesterday, several little girls have been calling it that. But today, Zhao Jun suddenly discovered that the little lynx really turned around whenever anyone called it a kitten.

So, the name was decided hastily.

Zhao Jun fed the kitten malted milk, then held it in his arms and petted it.

This little guy is a mother if she has breasts. It has only been two days since she kissed Zhao Jun. She lay on her arm and let Zhao Jun stroke her.

After a while, the little lynx fell asleep, and Zhao Jun gently put it back into the pine box.

At this time, Zhao Jun suddenly thought, if Zhao Youcai goes up the mountain to fight tomorrow, what will happen to the little lynx?

So, Zhao Jun got up, walked a few steps to the opposite room, and said to Zhao Youcai, "Dad!"

Zhao Youcai, who was thinking about something beautiful, was startled, raised his head and asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhao Jun smiled and said: "Tomorrow, my mother and I will stay home together. You can take care of the kitten."

"This...ah! OK!" Zhao Youcai agreed, but he was having trouble in his heart. He has to take care of whether the little guy belongs to him or not. Otherwise, the little lynx would starve, and Zhao Youcai would feel bad.

But he was going to catch wild boars tomorrow, and he had to find a way to arrange lunch for the little girls, and he had to feed the kittens. Zhao Youcai suddenly felt uncomfortable.

…

Early the next morning, just after five o'clock, Zhao Jun was awakened by the little lynx. He got up to hold back the urge to urinate, first gave the little lynx some malted milk, and then went outside to the latrine.

When Zhao Jun came back, he opened the door and saw Wang Meilan walking out with food.

At around four o'clock this morning, Jin Xiaomei returned to her parents' house with her luggage, leaving Li Dayong, Li Baoyu and Li Xiaoqiao behind. None of them knew how to cook. When Wang Meilan was cooking, she brought them a bite.

Zhao Jun helped Wang Meilan share the big basin of steamed buns. He carried it to the partition wall and shouted, and Li Baoyu ran out of the house.

"Brother!" At this time, Li Baoyu said to Zhao Jun: "When are you leaving?"

"It'll be a while, don't worry." Zhao Jun gave Li Baoyu a subtle wink, and then said, "My mother is coming with me today."

"Ah?" Li Baoyu, who was taking the vegetable basin from Wang Meilan, was stunned and asked Wang Meilan: "Auntie, are you going with my brother?"

"Yeah." Wang Meilan responded with a smile, and then said: "Your uncle will stay at home, and he will take care of lunch."

"Ah!" When Li Baoyu heard this, he was not thinking about his sister's lunch, but what his brother told him yesterday afternoon.

Thinking of this, Li Baoyu hurriedly looked at Zhao Jun, but saw Zhao Jun gently shake his head at him. Relying on the tacit understanding between the two brothers for many years, Li Baoyu immediately understood what Zhao Jun meant. He immediately spoke to Wang Meilan and walked into the house with the food.

After Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan had eaten, they started to pack their things. They took out the ginseng buns in the cellar and put the lynx skins into the white cloth pockets and rolled them up.

The change is carried in the outer pocket, and the whole money is carried in the inner pocket. There's nothing we can do about it, because there are no sock pockets sewn into their cotton pants.

Then, Zhao Jun took out a pack of bullets from the drawer and put it in his shoulder bag. He also took off his semi-automatic rifle from the wall and walked out.

Seeing Zhao Jun take out a gun, Zhao Youcai was stunned and hurriedly asked Zhao Jun: "Son, what are you doing with a gun when you go out?"

"Take a gun to defend yourself." Zhao Jun said: "How can we sell the few seedlings of sticks we have at home for eighty thousand dollars? Will someone be jealous and kill us two?"

As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Wang Meilan, who had gold earlobes, a gold necklace around her neck, a gold barb on her finger, and a gold bracelet on her wrist, hurriedly came out of the east room and asked Zhao Jun, "Son, can't you?"

"It's okay, Mom." Zhao Jun raised his gun and said with a smile: "I rolled it up in a sack and it didn't sink when I put it in the nest. No one knows what it is."

Wang Meilan heard it right, but she turned back to the house and hurriedly took off the gold bracelet.

At this time, Zhao Youcai was no longer calm. Originally, there were two semi-automatic rifles hanging in Zhao Jun's room, one was taken back from the Yongxing Brigade, and the other was borrowed from Zhao Guofeng of the Tunbu Division.

But recently, Zhang Yuanmin followed Zhao Jun up the mountain, so Zhao Jun left one of the semi-automatics at Zhang Yuanmin's house to save him from having to carry it back.

Therefore, Zhao Jun's family only has such a gun now. If Zhao Jun carries it away, what will Zhao Youcai do?

We want to catch wild boars, but we have to bring a gun!

Just when Zhao Youcai was thinking of a way, two dogs barked outside the house. It was the little bell coming to pick up her three little aunts from school!
