The whole mountain is my hunting ground

As an acceptance inspector, Zhao Jun is often called a technician by workers in Lengchang. But in fact, his job has no technical content.

But the mountain field technicians are different. They are real technical masters. Exploration, forest selection, forest division, and demarcation of logging areas. In such a large mountain farm, all the mountain topography and forest resources are all stored in the heads of the mountain farm technicians.

The technician at Yongan Forestry Farm is named Zheng Quan. As one of the eight kings under the production director, Zheng Quan has followed Zhou Chunming for many years.

With this relationship, he and Zhao Jun are not outsiders. However, although Zheng Quan knew that Zhou Jianjun had such a brother-in-law, he had never met Zhao Jun.

When Zhao Jun and his ministers arrived outside Zheng Quan's house, Zheng Quan's daughter-in-law Liu Shuqin and daughter Zheng Shan were hanging clothes in the yard.

It's getting cold now, so if you want to wash your clothes, you have to rush in the morning, then put them in the yard, let the wind blow for a day, take them back to the house at night and dry them in front of the fire wall, and you can wear them the next day!

Seeing a car parked outside the courtyard, Liu Shuqin patted Zheng Shan, then walked towards the entrance of the courtyard and asked loudly: "Who is it?"

Liu Shuqin's voice was a reminder to Zheng Quan in the room so that he could be mentally prepared.

"Is this Aunt Zheng?" Zhao Jun asked politely as he got out of the car, then announced his home address and said, "My name is Zhao Jun, and I came here from Yong'an!"

"Ah!" Upon hearing the name Zhao Jun, Liu Shuqin immediately laughed and said, "Little Zhao Pao."

"I don't dare to take it seriously!" Zhao Jun smiled, bowed slightly to Liu Shuqin, and asked, "Where is my Uncle Zheng at home?"

"She's at home, I..." Liu Shuqin turned around and saw her daughter still standing there. She hurriedly waved her hand and called Zheng Shan: "Daughter, come here, this is your Brother Zhao!"

Hearing this, Zheng Shan walked quickly to Liu Shuqin's side, nodded to Zhao Jun and said, "Brother Zhao."

"Hey!" Zhao Jun just responded when he saw the two women turning their eyes to him.

Zhao Jun looked aside and saw that the minister was standing aside, and hurriedly introduced him: "This is Jie Chen, a good brother of mine."

After hearing Zhao Jun's introduction, Liu Shuqin first nodded and smiled at Jie Chen, then raised her hand back and said, "Let's go inside, your Uncle Zheng is staying in the house!"

"Aunt Zheng, let's not be in a hurry." Zhao Jun pointed to the back of the car and said, "I'll bring you a wild boar, and we'll unload it."

"Ouch!" Upon hearing that Zhao Jun was here to deliver wild boars to them, Liu Shuqin immediately showed a smile on her face, but she said, "This kid, you came just when you said you would, why are you trying to trick wild boars?"

After saying that, Liu Shuqin hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "I'll help you carry it!"

"No need!" Zhao Jun turned around, smiled at Liu Shuqin, and said, "Just the two of us, Aunt, don't come forward."

After Zhao Jun finished speaking, he and his ministers took down a yellow hair weighing more than eighty kilograms from the car.

This little wild boar is not big, but it is short and fat. When Zhao Jun and Jie Chen lifted it down, the little pig's butt was fat and round, and the meat on its buttocks trembled.

"Oh!" Looking at the fat on the little yellow haired boy, Liu Shuqin became even more happy. She was busy leading the way to Zhao Jun and Jie Chen, guiding them into the courtyard.

At this time, Zheng Quan came out of the house and saw two strange young men carrying a wild boar into the yard. He suddenly had a guess in his heart and said, "Let's see, who is here?"

Zheng Quan said this as if he knew who sent the wild boar. But if he wants to say that he doesn't know Zhao Jun, there's nothing wrong with that.

"Uncle Zheng!" Although Zhao Jun was carrying the wild boar, he nodded to Zheng Quan and said with a smile: "Me, Zhao Jun!"

Zhao Jun answered like this. At first glance, it sounded like he knew Zheng Quan, but in fact it was him who was introducing himself to Zheng Quan.

"Come, come!" At this time, Liu Shuqin was greeting from the side, pointing to the base of the west wall, and said to Zhao Jun and Jie Chen: "Just leave it here for Auntie!"

Zhao Jun and Jie Chen quickly followed the instructions. After putting down the wild boar, Zheng Quan and Liu Shumei greeted them into the house.

The two of them came to the back room and went to the west room of Zheng Quan's house. They saw an old man sitting on the kang, smoking a dry cigarette with his legs crossed.

Zhao Jun knew that this was Zheng Xueyan, a technician at the Yongan Forest Farm. The Zheng family's father and son knew this mountain farm very well. Back then, Mr. Zheng passed on all his skills to his son, allowing Zheng Quan to secure his position as a mountain technician.

Even though Zheng Quan is at the lower end of the Eight Great Vajras in terms of rank and position, no one can replace him. Even if a capable person is brought in from outside and is better than Zheng Quan in terms of professional ability, no one can compare with the Zheng family and his son in terms of understanding of this mountain farm.

As soon as Zhao Jun entered the room, the old man looked up at him. Zhao Jun bowed slightly, nodded and called: "Master Zheng."

"Hey." Zheng Xueyan responded, and then said to Zheng Quan: "I look at this kid... he looks so confused?"

Mianhuang means "familiar", which is an old Northeastern dialect. People of Zhao Jun's generation rarely use this word anymore.

"Dad." Zheng Quan pointed at Zhao Jun, and then said to the old man: "This is the son of Master Zhao in the cafeteria!"

"Master Zhao? Ah..." Zheng Xueyan suddenly reacted and suddenly realized: "Ah, Zhao Er's son!"

Zhao Jun smiled and nodded. The old man waved his hand to him and said, "Come on, kid, get on the kang!"

"Hey!" Zhao Jun responded first, then stretched out his hand to Zheng Quan beside him and said, "Uncle Zheng."

Zheng Quan was slightly startled, knowing that Zhao Jun wanted him, the elder, to sit first. At this time, Zheng Quan thought to himself: "Well, Zhao Youcai is so stubborn all day, but his son is quite polite!"

When Zheng Quan, Zhao Jun and his ministers all sat down, Zheng Xueyan picked up the small basket containing his tobacco leaves from the kang, put it on the kang table, and called to Zhao Jun and his ministers: "Come on, gentlemen, roll it yourself. "

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Zheng Quan took out another pack of Yingchun from his pocket and placed it on the Kang table. He pushed it to the tobacco leaf basket with his hand and said to Zhao Jun and Jie Chen: "There are also these cigarettes. You can smoke whatever you like." Which."

"What a piece of shit you have!" Before Zhao Jun could say anything, Zheng Xueyan scolded Zheng Quan, then turned to Zhao Jun and Jie Chen, pointed to the small basket where he held the tobacco leaves, and said: "Roll this one and smoke it. This one is better." smoke!"

"Hey!" After Zhao Jun was reborn, his young body had no craving for cigarettes, so he gave up smoking. But looking at the "interaction" between the two men just now, Zhao Jun couldn't refuse. He picked up a piece of calendar paper torn into small strips, then pinched a handful of tobacco leaves and spread them evenly from one end of the paper to the other.

Seeing Zhao Jun's skillful movements, Zheng Xueyan smiled, pointed to the small basket containing the tobacco leaves, and said to Zhao Jun: "This is the tobacco leaf my brother brought back to me before the Chinese New Year. I dusted it off and drank it for a few days. , and dust the honey water."

Zhao Jun understood this time that these tobacco leaves were given by the old man's grandson as a tribute to his old man. No wonder he was so busy promoting them!

It is said that two generations apart, even if Zheng Quan bought two boxes of Huazi for the old man, it would probably not be as good as the two taels of tobacco leaves that Zheng eldest son bought for his father.

"Uncle Zheng!" Zhao Jun looked at Zheng Quan and asked, "Your eldest brother Pangweihe, when will he be transferred back?"

Zhao Jun had long heard that Zheng Quan's son Zheng Xu, like Zhao Jun and others, belonged to the forestry system. But he is in Weihe Forestry, located between Yabuli and Dahailin.

"He, haha." Speaking of his son, Zheng Quan was also very proud and said with a smile: "It's fine for him to leave him there. He won't come back yet."

While Zheng Quan was talking, Liu Shuqin came in with a teacup, placed it in front of Zhao Jun and Jie Chen, and said with a smile: "My child, have a drink of water."

"Hey, Auntie, stop working." Zhao Jun said politely: "We two brothers will sit down for a while and then leave!"

"Why are we leaving?" As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Zheng Quan immediately gave up. He turned his face, pointed at Zhao Jun, and said, "You have to stay home to eat, and then leave after eating!"

After speaking, Zheng Quan turned to Liu Shuqin and asked, "When will the meal be ready?"

"It'll be ready soon!" Liu Shuqin said, "I'll pick up another dish."

At this point, Liu Shuqin said to Zhao Jun and Xie Chen: "My son, listen to your uncle Zheng, don't walk until you finish eating."

"Okay." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Auntie, let's eat here and eat whatever we have."

"Yeah." Liu Shu responded with a smile, and then she said to Zheng Xueyan across the kang table: "Dad, these two kids are bringing a wild boar to our family."

"Yes!" Hearing this, Zheng Xueyan looked at Zhao Jun and said, "My child, did you hit him?"

"Yeah." Zhao Jun responded with a smile: "We caught it in the mountains yesterday."

The old man was old. After hearing what Zhao Jun said, he didn't react for a while. At this time, Zheng Quan leaned towards his father and said with a smile, "This kid gave us a live pig."

"Live pig?" Zheng Xueyan's eyes widened, his old face was filled with wrinkles, and he said happily: "I'll go take a look!"

The old man said that he was about to go to the ground. Zheng Quan, Zhao Jun, and Jie Chen all got up and, together with Liu Shuqin, accompanied Zheng Xueyan outside.

As soon as they came out of the house, they met Zheng Shan who had returned from collecting eggs after leaving the house.

Seeing a group of people coming out of the house, and her grandfather walking at the front of the group watching the wild boar, Zheng Shan stepped aside to make way for everyone.

When Jie Chen passed by Zheng Shan, he couldn't help but look back at Zheng Shan.

The moment their eyes met, Zheng Shan quickly turned her head and walked quickly into the house.

Jie Chen blinked and glanced at the girl's back before following the others in front of the wild boar.

In fact, the conditions of the Zheng family are considered good in the entire Yong'an Forest District. After all, the Zheng family has always had a stable income since Zheng Xueyan, an old technician. According to local parlance, his family has a solid foundation.

Every year in the twelfth lunar month, Lao Zheng's family would buy a pig with money, kill it and invite relatives and friends to eat the meat. Save the leftover meat for the New Year.

But even so, Lao Zheng's family and Wang Meilan are incomparable. Therefore, Zheng Xueyan and Liu Shuqin have great enthusiasm for killing pigs.

There is another difference between the old Zheng family and the old Zhou family. In the old Zhou family, only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are at home, but in the old Zheng family, Zheng Xueyan is here, and he can kill whenever he wants.

When Zheng Xueyan heard that the pig had been hungry for a day and its intestines were empty, he discussed with Liu Shuqin that the pig would be killed today.

Speaking of pig killing, Liu Shuqin wanted to keep Zhao Jun and Jie Chen at home to eat pig killing dishes, but Zhao Jun politely refused.

When the four of them returned to the house and sat down, the vegetables and rice were out of the pot.

The dish is stewed with tofu and potatoes, and the staple food is Lianghe noodle steamed buns.

Because there were guests, Liu Shuqin and Zheng Shan set aside some dishes, and they planned to eat them in the room opposite.

When Liu Shuqin served the dishes, she specifically said to Zhao Jun and Xie Chen: "Children, don't be anxious, eat slowly, and Auntie will give you an egg."

…

By the time we finished eating, it was already past seven o'clock. Zhao Jun and his ministers stood up to leave. At this time, there was a wild boar under the big fan cloth in the car.

It was for Zhang Xuefeng. Although Zhang Xuefeng's family was also in Yongli Village, he couldn't go too late. After all, he had to catch the commuter train to work.

Hearing that the two were leaving, Zheng Xueyan and Zheng Quan both stood up to see each other off. Zheng Quan went out of the house first, took Liu Shuqin to the next door and muttered a few words, and then the couple came out together. Liu Shuqin said to Zhao Jun: "Jun, aunt I have something to ask you."

"Auntie!" Zhao Jun said: "We are still talking about whether we ask for it or not. If you have anything to do, just tell me and that's it!"

"Then wait for me for a while." After Liu Shuqin finished speaking, she quickly walked to the dish rack, opened the door of the dish rack, and took out a flour bag from underneath.

Zhao Jun was stunned by her move, thinking that this aunt was trying to get food for herself, right? But when I thought about it, Liu Shuqin just said that she was asking for help, and she should be asking her to give it to others along the way.

Sure enough, Liu Shuqin returned to Zhao Jun and said: "I have an aunt who lives in your village. This old lady has no children. She is so pitiful..."

"Huh?" Zhao Jun felt that Liu Shuqin's words sounded familiar.

Liu Shuqin continued: "I discussed with your uncle and said that I would bring her ten kilograms of rice. But your uncle is busy at the farm, and I can't do without it at home. You happened to be here today, and I am asking you to bring it to her."

"This is unreasonable." Zhao Jun responded first, and then asked tentatively: "Auntie, let us live in the village, whose house is it?"

"My uncle's surname is Jiang." Liu Shuqin said: "The old man died last year. He said it was..."

Having said this, Liu Shuqin suddenly reacted. Her uncle was kicked by the black blind man, and the one who avenged her uncle seemed to be the little Zhao Pao in front of her!

At this time, Zhao Jun also confirmed his guess that the girl Liu Shuqin mentioned was the old lady Jiang Liu.

However, the old lady is not Liu Shuqin's biological aunt. But not far. The old lady's father and Liu Shuqin's father were biological brothers, and the two had little contact in their early years.

It wasn't until the old lady moved to Yongli Village, lived in Jiangzhou, and wandered around the village that she met her eldest niece Liu Shuqin.

At that time, the old lady was feeling uncomfortable, so she told Liu Shuqin these things about her family. But both of them are women and have married into other families. Even if Liu Shuqin wanted to help, she couldn't help much.

But since the old lady moved back to Yong'antun, Liu Shuqin had dreamed of her several times, and then she always talked about her with Zheng Quan and the others.

So Zheng Quan said that when he had the opportunity, he would ask someone to bring some food to the old lady. No matter how much it was, it would be regarded as a gift from the younger generation. In this way, Liu Shuqin can feel at ease.

Since Liu Shuqin was talking about the old lady, Zhao Jun smiled and said: "Auntie, then I know who it is."

"Huh?" At this time, Liu Shuqin asked Zhao Jun with some worry: "How about the old lady being alone in the village?"

"It's pretty good." After Zhao Jun finished speaking, he saw Liu Shuqin frown and added, "I've gained weight these days!"

Liu Shuqin is one year older than Wang Meilan. How could she not know how difficult it is for an old lady to live in the countryside?

She didn't believe that the old lady could live a good life, let alone gain weight.

Not only Liu Shuqin didn't believe it, but even the Zheng family and his son didn't believe it. Then Zheng Xueyan said directly to Zhao Jun: "You kid! Why did you get fat? Is it because you were hungry and bloated?"

Zhao Jun: "..."

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

There was no signal on my phone just now, so the update couldn't go out, so this chapter was a little late. It’s still past twelve o’clock at noon, so I’ll keep going!
