Chapter 1229 The Zhao Family Gang's Opportunity to Take Off

Since rebirth, Zhao Jun was so angry for the first time.

But in fact, Zhao Jun did not have many direct conflicts with Cui Yulan in his previous life.

After Wang Meilan passed away in the previous life, the father and son of the family took care of two little girls. Although Jin Xiaomei from next door helped to take care of them, it was not the same after a long time.

So, less than half a year after Wang Meilan left, Zhao Youcai married Cui Yulan into the family.

This made Zhao Jun difficult to accept, and what made Zhao Jun most angry was that Cui Yulan's name also had the word "Lan". In the past, Zhao Youcai called Wang Meilan "Lan Na, Lan Na", and when Cui Yulan came, Zhao Youcai also called her that, and it was smooth.

Zhao Jun quarreled with Zhao Youcai for this several times, and Zhao Jun ran away after being slapped by Zhao Youcai. The Li family next door was too close, so Zhao Jun ran to Wang Qiang or Lin Xiangshun's house.

Zhao Youcai had only one son, and it was reasonable that he should not divide the family, but leave Zhao Jun to take care of him in his old age. But the family conflicts were irreconcilable, so Zhao Youcai had no choice but to build a house for Zhao Jun and marry him off.

In fact, Cui Yulan behaved well during this period.

But since Zhao Jun moved out, the two little girls have suffered. Cui Yulan seems to be doing a good job on the surface, but she is a shady woman behind the scenes.

She really doesn't abuse Zhao Hong and Zhao Na. She cooks for the two little girls on time and does a good job of washing and cleaning the house, but she will say very ugly things to Zhao Hong and Zhao Na.

How ugly is it?

Zhao Hong once told Zhao Jun that if she and her sister did something wrong, Cui Yulan would say to them: "They are just like your dead mother."

In a normal family, it is okay for a mother to say to her children sometimes, "You are the same as your father" or "You are just like that J8 in your family."

But can a biological mother and a stepmother be the same?

After Cui Yulan said that, the two little girls thought of their dead mother again, so they felt even more wronged.

When Zhao Hong and Zhao Jun talked about this, Zhao Hong was already 40 years old, but she burst into tears.

But in those days, people didn't know what PUA was. There were many children in the family, and it was good enough to have food and drink and no illness or disaster.

So, everyone thought that Cui Yulan, as a stepmother, did a pretty good job of not abusing the two girls and cooking and washing for them on time.

The whole village thought so, and Zhao Youcai was no exception. Zhao Hong and Zhao Na complained to him several times, but Zhao Youcai didn't take it seriously. In his cognition, it was normal for children to be scolded by adults for making mistakes.

Now Wang Meilan is in good health and swings the sledgehammer with the wind; the two sisters are growing up and like to fight with little boys. The family is not rich, but it is definitely the richest in the entire Yong'an Forest District.

Zhao Jun feels that this is very good, and his life is carefree and comfortable.

What Zhao Jun didn't expect was that Zhao Youcai was hooking up with that evil woman again.

Zhao Youcai had explained it just now, and his words were reasonable, and he had Li Dayong and Xing San as evidence, but Zhao Jun was still angry.

Zhao Jun laughed in anger, and the sparrows flew away with laughter, and Zhao Youcai was stunned with laughter.

"You are silly, what are you laughing at?" Zhao Youcai rolled his eyes at Zhao Jun, then walked past him and said, "Okay, you go back, I'm leaving."

Zhao Youcai told Cui Yulan that his son was here to pick him up, but he just said that, and wanted to send the widow away quickly.

After all, people's words are scary, and a married man giving things to a widow will make people gossip, and this is why Zhao Youcai asked Cui Yulan to deliver meat outside the village.

"Woof woof..." Seeing Zhao Youcai, Erhei climbed the fence and wagged his tail at Zhao Youcai.

"Good dog!" Zhao Youcai touched Erhei happily, and suddenly he felt like he was on edge.

Zhao Youcai turned around, and Zhao Jun, who was looking at him, grinned.

Zhao Youcai glanced at Zhao Jun, turned around and walked towards Yongli Village.

After Zhao Youcai left, Zhao Jun got into the car with Wang Qiang and Jie Chen silently. On the way home, Wang Qiang, who was squeezing in the co-pilot with Zhao Jun, noticed that Zhao Jun's body was shaking constantly.

The car entered the village, and there was no time to eat, so he had to go back to Zhao's house to settle the dogs.

The thirteen dogs got off the car and went back to their dens. After running in the mountains for a whole morning, the dogs had walked enough and had eaten enough, and now it was time to go back to their dens to sleep.

But there was an exception among these dogs, Hua Niuniu was still very energetic, sticking her little butt up to Dahua.

"Ah...ah..." The next second, Hua Niuniu was grabbed by the back of the neck by Zhao Jun and dragged to the backyard of the Li family.

"Uncle, I'm going to the toilet." Xie Chen and Wang Qiang greeted him, and then he ran to the toilet.

"Hey!" Wang Qiang responded, and then he chased Zhao Jun.

Chasing to the backyard of Li's house and seeing Zhao Jun tying Hua Niuniu, Wang Qiang came over and whispered to Zhao Jun: "Nephew, your father... my brother-in-law, he is not the kind of person who runs around."

The words were rough but the truth was true. Zhao Youcai had many problems, but he was always very disciplined when it came to men and women.

But after Wang Qiang finished speaking, Zhao Jun took a long time to respond: "Well, uncle, I know."

Wang Qiang was slightly startled and felt that his nephew was not as calm as he appeared.

But Wang Qiang couldn't say anything else, after all, no matter how close his brother-in-law was, he was not as close as his sister and nephew.

After tying Hua Niuniu, Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang walked out of Li's house and met up with Xie Chen to go to Zhang Yuanmin's house together.

When the three of them passed by the fence tent of Zhang's courtyard, they saw Zhao Ling and Xie Sunshi each holding a large basin, walking out of the courtyard in small steps.

"Oh, you're back!" Zhao Ling greeted the three of them, and Wang Qiang hurried forward to take the basin.

The large basin that one person hugged was not filled too full to prevent spilling, but it was still filled with two-thirds of the hot soy milk.

Grinding tofu is different from grinding flour. Grinding tofu requires continuous water grinding, and the ground tofu is soybean milk with bean dregs.

This process cannot be frozen, so the shed is always on fire. Since the simple boiler made from a large iron barrel has been lit, the big pot is used to boil soybean milk.

The boiled soybean milk is sent to Zhang's house to make tofu brain and tofu.

Wang Qiang took the basin from Zhao Ling's hand. Seeing this, Xie Chen went to help his mother, but was rejected by Xie Sun.

Xie Sun was really energetic. She walked fast with the big basin in her arms, and was not left behind by Wang Qiang.

When he arrived in front of Zhang's house, Zhao Jun saw that a plate of tofu had been placed under the window.

The pressed large tofu was cut into pieces and placed directly outside to freeze.

When everyone entered the house, Zhang Yuanmin was reading a book on the kang in the west room. Recently, he could not go out, so he read the "military book" at home from beginning to end and reorganized what he had learned.

"Brother!" Zhang Yuanmin was very happy to see Zhao Jun, and hurriedly put the comic book aside.

"Brother, how are you?" Zhao Jun walked to Zhang Yuanmin's pillow, lifted the bottom of his cotton monkey, and sat sideways on the edge of the kang.

"Very good, brother." Zhang Yuanmin smiled, and then asked back: "How are you today?"

"I knocked down..." Zhao Jun just opened his mouth and heard Wang Meilan's voice coming from the outer room.

"You're back, Qiangzi." Wang Meilan said: "Drink a bowl of freshly boiled soy milk while it's hot, and I'll make you pancakes after that."

"Hey!" Wang Qiang responded, and Zhao Ling took out three large bowls from the bowl rack, and then took out the sugar jar.

When Zhao Jun first came to Zhang Yuanmin's house last year, Yang Yufeng brewed sugar water to entertain Zhao Jun. At that time, Zhao Jun only took a sip, and then left the cup of sugar water to Xiao Lingdang.

Times have changed. Now Xiao Lingdang doesn't even drink canned soup much, and the Zhang family is no longer short of white sugar.

Take a spoon and scoop two spoons of sugar into the bottom of the bowl, then scoop a scoop of soy milk into the bowl, and the aroma of soy beans will spread instantly.

The soy milk was too hot at this time, and Zhao Jun and his friends had just come back from outside, so their whole bodies and even their teeth were cold. At this time, they were eager to drink hot soy milk, and their teeth would definitely explode.

The soy milk was slightly cool, and a layer of bean skin condensed on it. Zhao Jun pinched it with his thumb and index finger, picked up the bean skin and held it high, raised his head, opened his mouth and ate the bean skin, and then slid along the edge of the bowl to drink a mouthful of soy milk.

There was plenty of soy milk, but Zhao Jun and his friends just wanted to drink it for the novelty. The remaining soy milk was placed in the outer room, and when the temperature dropped, they could make tofu.

While this was going on, Wang Meilan made pancakes for Zhao Jun and the other two.

The pancakes were made with bear oil, and the aroma filled the room.

Zhao Ling and Xie Sun continued to chat and work in the shed, while Yang Yufeng, the host, came back.

She scooped out the cucumbers in the sauce jar, cut them into cubes and put them on a plate. In the past two days, relatives and friends from the Zhang and Yang families came to visit Zhang Yuanmin who had been discharged from the hospital. In order to entertain the guests at home, Yang Yufeng went to the store to buy a lot of canned fish and luncheon meat.

Yang Yufeng opened the cans and put them on the plate. Wang Meilan baked a large pancake and threw it on the plate. Yang Yufeng took a kitchen knife and cut the pancake into small fan-shaped pieces.

As soon as the staple food was ready, the meal started immediately.

Small tofu with egg sauce, tofu brain with wild boar stew.

Spicy in the east, sour in the west, sweet in the south and salty in the north.

The tofu brain at Zhao Jun's house tastes salty. Wang Meilan soaked chicken leg mushrooms and black fungus in advance and made a stew with wild boar cubes.

Zhao Jun and his friends ate and drank while chatting with Zhang Yuanmin. Talking about the hunting of lynx in Shitang today, Wang Qiang couldn't help but tease Zhang Yuanmin, saying: "You said that your life is bad enough. You can't kill a black bear, and the black bear will fall into a big pit."

"Oh!" Zhang Yuanmin sighed and shook his head, saying: "My reputation in this life."

"Forget it." At this time, Yang Yufeng came in with cut oil cakes and complained about Zhang Yuanmin: "What kind of reputation do you have?"

"You woman..." Zhang Yuanmin glanced at Yang Yufeng indignantly, raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Jun, saying: "Our brothers are here, ask our brothers, who killed the black bear weighing more than 700 kilograms?"

Zhang Yuanmin was talking about the black bear monster that fought the tiger. They also hunted the black bear in Shitang. If it weren't for Zhang Yuanmin, Zhao Jun would have been unable to return.

"Yes, big brother." Zhao Jun bit the oil cake and echoed: "You knocked him to death."

"Yeah." Zhang Yuanmin raised his head slightly and said: "And the three of us brothers in Yongxing knocked down the 1,300-jin big bear. Was it my trick?"

"Yes, yes." Zhao Jun slurped his mouthful of tofu brain and responded vaguely.

Swallowing the food in his mouth, Zhao Jun suddenly said to Wang Qiang: "My big brother Zhang mentioned Yongxing, and I remembered it."

"What happened?" Wang Qiang asked, Zhao Jun smiled and said: "That day, Baoyu, Xiaochen, and I went to Yongli to deliver the black bear to the old Xing family, and we ran into that... Tang Daquan."

Tang Daquan was a big shot in Yong'an Forest District. After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Wang Qiang hurriedly asked: "What happened when you ran into him?"

"He asked me if we can also have spring hunting in our forest district." Zhao Jun ate while repeating the conversation with Tang Daquan that day.

Zhao Jun talked about it as a joke, and Wang Qiang listened as a joke. When family members have dinner, they just chat.

The uncle and nephew, along with Jie Chen, didn't take this to heart. But when Zhao Jun finished speaking, Zhang Yuanmin, who was lying on the kang, suddenly laughed three times: "Ha! Ha! Ha!"

This laugh was a bit deliberate.

The sudden shock also startled Zhao Jun and the other two. Wang Qiang asked unhappily: "What are you doing?"

"Auntie! Auntie!" Zhang Yuanmin ignored Wang Qiang and called Wang Meilan from the outer room.

After he finished shouting, Yang Yufeng appeared at the door and asked, "Why did you call the old lady? Our old lady is making pancakes."

"You make them!" Zhang Yuanmin shouted, "Let the old lady come upstairs!"

Yang Yufeng had asked Wang Meilan to rest a long time ago, but Wang Meilan refused. After hearing what Zhang Yuanmin said, Yang Yufeng took over the shovel in Wang Meilan's hand and replaced Wang Meilan's work.

"Wait for me to wash my hands!" Wang Meilan washed her hands in front of the washbasin, wiped her hands with a towel, and walked into the east room, asking Zhang Yuanmin, "Yuanmin, what did you call me for?"

At this time, Zhao Jun, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, moved his butt inward and let Wang Meilan sit next to him.

"Aunt! Brother!" Zhang Yuanmin's eyes were bright, and he called Wang Meilan and Zhao Jun happily, saying, "The opportunity for our Zhao family to take off is right in front of us!"

"What?" The three people eating cakes and Wang Meilan were all stunned. Wang Meilan looked at Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang in surprise, wondering if the news about the treasure had leaked out.

"Brother." Zhao Jun looked at Wang Meilan, and then he looked at Zhang Yuanmin and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Aunt." Zhang Yuanmin did not answer Zhao Jun's words, but asked Wang Meilan, "Aren't you going to collect mountain products next year?"

"Ah!" Wang Meilan nodded, and heard Zhang Yuanmin continue, "Isn't this spring hunting an opportunity to make money?"

When Zhang Yuanmin said this, the eyes of the four people lit up.

Zhang Yuanmin continued to perform, saying: "Gather all the villages in the surrounding area. Those who can hunt in large areas can do so. Those who can't do so can hunt gray dogs and yellow leaves. Can't we collect all these things?"

As he said, Zhang Yuanmin raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Jun, saying: "Brother, don't you have one air gun that you haven't sold yet? Take this opportunity to sell it!"

"Not bad!" Zhao Jun slapped his thigh. The 500 air guns have been in his warehouse. Zhao Jun is waiting for an opportunity to let everyone know that hunting squirrels is profitable, so that he can sell those air guns at a high price.

As Zhang Yuanmin said, if Yong'an also holds spring hunting, it will undoubtedly be the best opportunity. At that time, you can make money by selling guns and collect gray skins and resell them. Isn't this a good idea?

"What about the big hunting?" Wang Qiang raised his question, saying, "Don't they go for the prize money? Our forest area is not like the production team. We don't have those guns."

The number of people participating in the spring hunting in Yongxing is large because there are hunter teams and militia. And the guns used by these people are all taken from the brigade.

"If they don't have guns, let them borrow them." Zhang Yuanmin said, "Let's borrow a No. 16 or something for a few days. A group of people, one gun is enough, and when we get the bonus, can't we share it among these people?"

"In our villages, there are many forestry workers, but few hunters." At this time, Wang Meilan said, "There are many hooligans who run to the mountains, but they have no weapons, so they are just doing small things."

"Encourage them all!" Zhang Yuanmin suggested, saying, "Let them borrow guns from outside, and let them buy gun sand and gun powder from us."

Gun sand is lead beans. Nine lead beans are filled in a bullet shell. When the nine lead beans are fired, they are fanned out. This is used to shoot roe deer and the like.

And if you want to shoot big animals such as wild boars, red deer, and bears, you have to put a clamp in the bullet shell.

This kind of bullet also needs to be fired with gunpowder, so people who keep guns have to buy gun powder and lead cakes in addition to the regular gun press machine.

"Buy from us?" Zhao Jun frowned and asked, "Where do we have that stuff?"

"Tsk!" Zhang Yuanmin pointed his chin at Jie Chen and said, "Doesn't my second brother-in-law know the confidential factory? That stuff doesn't cost much. I heard that if you buy more, a ton of gunpowder is only three or four hundred yuan."

Zhao Jun: "One ton..."

Well, the 500 air guns ordered earlier haven't been sold yet, and now we have to buy another ton of gunpowder. Is this to collect mountain goods, or what else?

Brothers, I'll take a break today and update tomorrow
