The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Yong'an Tun, in the east room of Lao Li's family.

Li Dayong and Li Baoyu both fell asleep.

Although the two men didn't drink too much today, they didn't drink too much either. They sat there each holding a little book, reading and waiting for Li Ruhai. I yawned endlessly as I watched, and then fell asleep unconsciously.

Li Baoyu was lying on his side on the kang, his head resting on his wrists, his legs curled up, and his feet still exposed outside the edge of the kang.

When he came back tonight, Li Dayong was ready to beat Li Ruhai. In order to free up space, he and Li Baoyu didn't get into bed.

At this time, in the Northeast, heating mainly relied on fire pits and fire walls.

This resulted in that only the kang and the fire wall were warm in the whole house, which could not be used as a heater. The places other than the kang and the fire wall were cold.

Li Baoyu was lying there sleeping. It was warm under his body, but his body was a little cold. When he was asleep, he felt hot and cold. He was a little uncomfortable, but he still fell asleep.

As for Li Dayong, he fell asleep sitting up with his back against the kang cabinet. It was past twelve o'clock, and Li Dayong also felt cold. He crossed his arms on his chest, holding a little book in one hand.

At this time, Li Dayong had a dream. He dreamed that he was lying on the kang at home, reading a book about villains, and he was watching the episode where Wu Song got drunk and beat up Jiang Menshen.

What a great Takejiro!

He used a jade ring to step on the mandarin duck's legs, and whipped Jiang Mengoshen's face with a whip, knocking that Jiang Mengoshen to the ground!

At this exciting moment, Li Ruhai suddenly appeared in his dream. Li Dayong vaguely remembered what happened in reality today.

At that time, Li Dayong was still thinking in his sleep: "I can't let this kid run away, I'll give him a kick!"

At this moment, reality and dreams were confused. Li Dayong, who was on the kang, raised his foot and whipped his leg. Then, there was only a muffled sound, followed by a squealing sound, mixed with Li Dayong's scream: "Oh my god!"

"What the hell!" Li Baoyu suddenly woke up from his sleep and got up from the kang in excitement.

And Li Dayong was grinning and covering his calf, humming constantly.

A second ago, Li Dayong in the dream and in reality took action at the same time. I don't know what happened in the dream, but I only know that in reality, he kicked a leg of the kang table.

This old elm kang table was made by Zhao Youcai when Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei got married.

Although it is not a precious wood, it is strong and heavy!

Li Dayong swept over with his mandarin duck legs, and the kang table just slipped out to the edge of the kang, and then stopped steadily. The two large tea jars placed on the table flew out with inertia, making a squeaking sound when they landed, and the remaining tea spilled all over the floor!

"Ouch..." Li Dayong covered his legs and pressed his upper body forward. His face was full of pain.

"Dad!" Although Li Baoyu looked confused, he immediately rushed to Li Dayong, held his shoulders and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Dayong covered his left calf with his hands, raised his upper body back, closed his eyes tightly, grinned and said, "Ah haha..."

This haha ​​is not a laugh, it is completely a modal particle.

Fortunately, Li Dayong was wearing thin cotton trousers, which could provide some protection. When he passed his leg, he probably only suffered some serious injuries. As time went by and he groaned in pain, the pain in Li Dayong's leg gradually receded a lot.

"Dad!" Li Baoyu still didn't know what happened, so he asked eagerly: "What's wrong with you?"

Li Dayong didn't answer. He covered his legs with one hand and threw the other hand towards the door. He grinned and said, "You idiot! Let's see if that little brat comes back!"

Hearing this, Li Baoyu hurriedly went down to the outhouse, then to the west room, walked around in a circle before coming back and said to Li Dayong: "Dad, Ruhai hasn't come back yet."

After saying that, Li Baoyu turned to look at the teapot and teapot lid on the ground, and then asked Li Dayong: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, Li Dayong's legs no longer hurt much. He glanced at the kang table, gritted his teeth and said, "What the hell! Sleeping Mao was stunned!"

Li Baoyu followed Li Dayong's gaze and looked at the kang table. He probably knew what was going on, and he felt relieved.

Li Baoyu got up and went to the ground to pick up the teapot and teapot lid, and asked: "Dad, it's already this time, can Ruhai leave it outside to freeze?"

Hearing this, Li Dayong looked back at the big clock on the wall and saw that it was almost half past twelve. He immediately stood up slowly from the kang, went to get the quilt on the kang cabinet, and said: "Ignore him, he won't do it either." Tiger, maybe he’s looking for a place to stay somewhere!”

Li Baoyu thought about it. That kid Li Ruhai was not stupid. It was dark and cold outside this late at night, so he must have found a place to live by himself.

After Li Dayong finished undressing the quilt, as soon as he took off his pants, he saw some bruises on the bumped area. He pressed lightly with his fingers and suddenly felt a jolt of pain!

"You idiot!" Li Dayong gritted his teeth and said, "You were waiting for me!"

Li Baoyu glanced at Li Dayong secretly and did not dare to say anything more.

…

Early the next morning, Zhao Jun felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach just after four o'clock. He hurriedly got off the kang, pulled on his shoes and walked out.

These days, every house has a bedpan, most of which are the classic Double Happiness models. Put a bedpan in the house so that you can use it when you get up at night, otherwise it will be troublesome to go out and it will be cold in winter.

It's just that the bedpans usually have small ones, so Zhao Jun can only go outside.

At this time, the Jie family brothers and Li Ruhai were not awake yet. In order not to wake them up, Zhao Jun opened the door quietly even if he was anxious.

When Zhao Jun came out of the room, he saw Zhao Youcai sitting in front of the stove, with his back to him.

Zhao Jun took a closer look and saw that Zhao Youcai had his head lowered. Wasn't he poking something there?

Zhao Jun was thinking that his father was counting his private money, so he quietly walked behind Zhao Youcai.

When he came over, he saw Zhao Youcai looking at the big gold ring on his hand with a smile.

"Ouch!" Zhao Youcai suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw Zhao Jun standing behind him. Zhao Youcai was startled and couldn't help but shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing? Thieves don't slip away!"

"Haha." Zhao Jun chuckled and said as a favor: "Dad, how about this gold plate? My mother and I bought this for you."

"You can pull him down." Zhao Youcai sneered and scolded: "You are the worst kid."

"Huh?" Zhao Jun was startled when he heard this, thinking that this was a serious statement. He was calling himself an idiot.

Seeing Zhao Jun's confused look, Zhao Youcai said "ha" and continued: "You damn, you gave so much to that child like Ru Hai. When you honor your father, you give me just five yuan." money!"

"This..." After hearing Zhao Youcai's words, Zhao Jun didn't know what to say for a moment.

After he took Li Ruhai back to his room last night, Zhao Jun did not ask Li Ruhai what happened because Jie Zhong and Jie Chen were there.

As for the child Li Ruhai, he had been frightened all night. He was sleepy and cold at that time, but as soon as he settled down from the cold, he huddled in the bed and slept soundly.

Because of information asymmetry, Zhao Jun was caught off guard by Zhao Youcai. He didn't know what Li Ruhai had explained, so how could he dare to say more?

By coincidence, Wang Meilan came out of the back room. Wang Meilan heard what the two men said just now. She quickly came in front of Zhao Jun, frowned at Zhao Jun, and asked: "Son, how can you give him so much money?"

Wang Meilan rarely complained about her son, but this time, she spoke up.

This is not a matter of principle, this is really a matter of principle!

Although Wang Meilan is more aggressive in spending money, Wang Meilan is almost forty and her family still has the conditions.

As for Li Ruhai, he is only a fourteen-year-old child. He only earns more than ten yuan a month. If he dares to spend money like this now, what will happen when he is sixteen or seventeen?

Children of that age are sensible even if they say they are sensible, and they are not sensible even if they are ignorant. If you go astray, it will really be a lifetime thing.

Even Wang Meilan spoke. Zhao Jun suddenly felt that something was wrong and asked hurriedly: "What did Ruhai do?"

"What did you do?" Zhao Youcai sneered and counted: "After you gave him the money, he bought a marmot hat! He bought big leather shoes."

"Ah? Marmot hat..." As soon as Zhao Youcai said this, Zhao Jun was a little confused.

When Zhao Jun gave Li Ruhai money that day, he told him to buy food and villain books.

According to Zhao Jun's opinion, Li Ruhai is just like his younger brother. This child is running around outside without recruiting anyone every day. If you give him some money, he can buy some food by himself if he gets hungry outside.

As for whether this child can learn to be bad if he has money, Zhao Jun has also considered it.

But twenty years from now, children may go to game arcades, go to Internet cafes, or read some colorful magazines.

But where are those these days?

In this small mountain village, the only things that can corrupt people are unscrupulous women and money-playing.

The former has little appeal to Li Ruhai now, and even if those people knew that Li Ruhai had money in his pocket, they would not dare to put their ideas on Li Ruhai.

After all, Li Ruhai is only fourteen years old. Anyone who dares to harm the child will not have to stay in these ten miles and eight villages.

As for playing with money, Zhao Jun had given Li Ruhai some advice, and he also believed that no one would play with a fourteen-year-old child.

Therefore, Zhao Jun had not considered it. In his opinion, Li Ruhai could only buy some food and drink when he took the money.

This small village didn't even sell soda, so Li Ruhai could only buy some food.

However, the consumption level of rural people is still low, and Wang Fu does not dare to buy anything expensive.

Candies, ten dollars can buy a sack. The trough cake costs five yuan and will make Li Ruhai vomit!

Therefore, Zhao Jun was quite relieved.

As for the day Li Ruhai said he wanted to buy big leather shoes, Zhao Jun thought he just went to the market and bought a pair of artificial leather shoes for not even one dollar.

Zhao Jun was still joking with Li Ruhai and asked him to buy another marmot hat.

But Zhao Jun never expected that he underestimated this kid Li Ruhai.

Marmot hat! Big leather shoes!

For a while, Zhao Jun didn't feel anything in his stomach anymore. He was not even in a hurry to go to the hut. He just asked, "Where did he buy it?"

These things can really be regarded as luxuries in the forest area these days.

Even if I go to a big market, I will only have a few pairs of artificial leather shoes at most. There were no leather shoes or marmot hats at all, so people didn’t dare to buy them for fear that they wouldn’t be able to sell them and then throw them away!

So Zhao Jun couldn't figure out where this kid was messing with these things!

"Where did you buy it?" Zhao Youcai smiled and said, "I asked your Uncle Wang to bring it back. Your Uncle Wang went to buy it yesterday and brought him a marmot hat and a pair of big leather shoes."

Speaking of this, Zhao Youcai added: "It cost a total of eleven and a half dollars."

"I..." Zhao Jun was speechless for a moment, knowing why Li Ruhai was beaten yesterday.

Seeing that Zhao Jun didn't speak, Zhao Youcai snorted again, and then continued: "Your father, I have supported you for so long, and I haven't put on a marmot hat or big leather shoes."

Zhao Jun: "..."

Wang Meilan heard this and stretched out her hand to tug Zhao Youcai's sleeve, but Zhao Youcai still said reluctantly: "You are still stopping me. When Dayong asked yesterday, Ruhai said he gave the money."

As he spoke, Zhao Youcai pointed at Zhao Jun and continued: "This one was made for me, and that one is shameless."

Zhao Jun blinked twice and said to Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan: "Dad, Mom, this is all up to me, and I didn't even think about it... Oh, I just asked him to buy some snacks."

"Ha!" Zhao Youcai sneered: "Are you thinking? Do you think about that too much? You broke the kidnapping for someone else's child, how are we going to explain it to your uncle and your aunt?"

"Okay." At this time, Wang Meilan stopped Zhao Youcai and said, "Xiaomei will be back in the morning, I'll tell her."

After talking about Zhao Youcai, Wang Meilan looked at Zhao Jun again and said: "Son, you can't give him so much money in the future. Just give him thirty-five cents, and you can give him twenty for this... …”

"Alas!" Zhao Jun lowered his head and said, "Mom, I know, I did this wrong."

After saying that, Zhao Jun opened the door and walked out.

At this time, Zhao Youcai pointed to the door and said to Wang Meilan: "I tell you, don't give him so much money, don't let him go with his salary."

"Okay." When Wang Meilan heard this, she frowned impatiently and tugged on Zhao Youcai's arm, then turned and walked towards the house.

Zhao Youcai saw that he could not persuade Wang Meilan, but he was not discouraged. He lit a fire and added half a ladle of water to the big pot.

The water boiled quickly. Zhao Youcai poured a small basin into the pot to cover all the boiling water.

Then, Zhao Youcai took the large basin aside, pulled the curtain of sorghum stalks covering it, and stretched out his hand to grab the cornmeal that had grown inside.

There was a lot of food left last night, and Zhao Youcai had no intention of cooking this morning.

Although there are still pancakes left, Wang Meilan made dough yesterday morning. Now that the noodles have risen, they must be made into dry food.

After the corn flour rises, it will not take shape, so it will slide down when your hands are pressed into a ball on the pot. It would be fine if there were vegetables stewed in the pot, but if it were just water, the noodles would become porridge if it slipped into the water.

Therefore, when drying the big pancake, you have to put a basin on the water. In this way, the corn dough stops when it meets the basin, and as the pot heats up, it becomes a pancake.

Zhao Youcai was about to grab the dough and knead it, but stopped. I saw him take off the ring on his hand, hold it in front of his eyes, look at it, and put the ring into his pocket with a smile before grabbing his noodles.

Zhao Youcai grabbed a handful of noodles with his left hand and threw it into his right hand. He caught it with his right hand and immediately threw it back to his left hand. When it was thrown back to his right hand, the noodles were already in a ball.

Zhao Youcai shook his right hand and the dough fell to the edge of the pot. The dough quickly slid down, leaving only a thin layer where the dough passed.

The dough stopped when it met the basin, and Zhao Youcai then turned each pancake in a circle and stuck it to the edge of the pot.

After the sides of the big pot were circled with pancakes, Zhao Youcai covered the pot and then the basin, then went inside to wash his hands.

After washing his hands, Zhao Youcai took out the ring and put it on again. Looking at the bright gold plate, Zhao Youcai couldn't help but smile, thinking: "These days are getting better!"

Thank you brothers for your monthly tickets and rewards, thank you brothers.

Let me tell my brother, the reason why Li Ruhai was beaten is not because of his wealth. Even if Wang Meilan saw it, she still had to tell Jin Xiaomei about it.

Some brothers may not understand, but at that time, no matter which child dared to spend such money, he would be beaten!
