Chapter 1394: All for the Child (One-Line Inheritance of Dong Xuanzi, Thirty Free-Hand Leader, Plus 45)

A thick rubber band was tied to the door of the Zhao family, which served as a door bow.

As soon as Wang Meilan left the house, the door slammed shut.

Zhao Youcai, standing in the door, took a deep breath and turned to walk to the east room.

The children were all in the Li family in the west courtyard, managed by the old lady and Li Tongyun. The other women went to tan leather under the leadership of Wang Meilan, and Jie Chen drove Li Dayong, Li Dazhi, and Lin Xiangshun to grind rice.

In addition, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu visited their father-in-law, Wang Qiang went up the mountain to hunt with a gun, and Li Ruhai chatted in the store, leaving Zhao Youcai alone at home.

Zhao Youcai walked into the east room angrily, and just as he sat sideways on the edge of the kang, he heard the dog barking outside the house.

Zhao Youcai stood up and looked out the window, only to see two people standing at the gate of the courtyard.

Zhao Youcai suppressed his anger and stood up to greet them.

About forty minutes later, Zhao Youcai smiled and sent the two out of the house. Looking at their backs as they left, the smile on Zhao Youcai's face gradually froze.

Back in the house, Zhao Youcai took out potatoes from the basket made of tree branches in front of the bowl rack.

Seeing that it was eleven o'clock, others didn't eat, but Zhao Youcai was still hungry.

There were more than twenty people eating at home, and if they cooked less, it would not be enough. So Zhao Youcai picked up eight potatoes and held them in one arm to the stove.

Just as he put the potatoes on the ground and pulled the small stool to peel the potatoes, there were dog barking outside the house again.

Zhao Youcai jumped up from the bench and stretched his neck to look out the window.

At the same time, in the east room of the Ma family, Zhao Jun, Ma Dafu and Ma Sheng were eating melon seeds and chatting.

In the field outside the house, there was a "sizzling" sound of oil, and Wang Cuihua poured the chopped chicken pieces into the pot.

The big rooster that had been raised for two years had red chicken meat.

Wang Cuihua was frying the chicken with a spatula. At this time, Ma Ling brought a small helmet and said to Wang Cuihua: "Mom, I've cleaned up the fish."

"Take it to your eldest brother's house." Wang Cuihua said: "Ask your sister-in-law to fry it and stew it for a while."

"Okay." Ma Ling responded and was about to leave with the small helmet, but was stopped by Wang Cuihua.

"Don't forget to tell your sister-in-law." Wang Cuihua reminded: "Ask her to bring the children to eat here."

The son-in-law came to the house, and the chicken was soulless.

A chicken stewed with mushrooms, a braised crucian carp, and some side dishes. Although it was not as good as the Zhao family's banquet, Wang Cuihua was able to prepare so many dishes in a hurry, which was already very good.

...

As the chicken stewed with mushrooms finished, Wang Cuihua put three pieces of chicken in a small bowl and put them aside. The remaining chicken and mushrooms in the pot were all put in the small helmet by Wang Cuihua and asked Ma Ling to take it to the table in the east room.

Zhao Jun, Ma Dafu and Ma Sheng were sitting around the kang table in the east room.

At this time, the three of them were eating and drinking. On the table were braised crucian carp, sliced ​​luncheon meat cans and fried peanuts.

Zhao Jun usually doesn't drink, but today Ma Dafu forced him to drink a glass, so Zhao Jun drank with his father-in-law and brother-in-law.

In the west room, there was also a kang table on the kang.

There were three people around the kang table, one was Ma Yang, one was Ma Sheng's son Ma Tianshi, and the other was Xu Xiaoqing.

Logically, Xu Xiaoqing shouldn't sit here when her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were cooking in the outer room. But Ma Tianshi was only three years old, so Xu Xiaoqing had to take care of his meals.

At this time, Wang Cuihua took the time to bring in the small bowl with three pieces of chicken, put it in front of Xu Xiaoqing, and said with a smile: "This is for my eldest grandson."

There is not much meat in free-range chickens. After a big rooster is plucked and gutted, there is less than three pounds left.

If there are guests at home these days, no matter what delicious food is prepared, it must be served to the guests. That's why Wang Cuihua loves her grandson, so she served three pieces of chicken to Ma Tianshi.

As for Ma Yang, even if he got the first place in the exam, he didn't get this treatment.

But when Wang Cuihua left, Xu Xiaoqing turned her head and looked at the door, then picked up a piece of chicken wing from the small bowl and put it directly into Ma Yang's bowl.

…

"Jun, you eat this meat." In the east room, Ma Dafu picked up three pieces of meat for Zhao Jun in a row. But he and Ma Sheng didn't touch a bite of chicken, but only picked up a few mushrooms.

Again, this is the way to entertain guests.

And Zhao Jun must eat. The more he eats, the happier Ma Dafu and Ma Sheng are. On the contrary, if Zhao Jun eats less, the Ma family will think more.

Farmhouse dishes must be made by farmers, and this chicken stewed with mushrooms is delicious made by Wang Cuihua.

Just when Zhao Jun was eating chicken, Wang Meilan and a group of people came back in a Jiefang car.

When they were walking back from cooking the skin at Lin Xiangshun's house, they met Li Dayong and his group who were coming back from grinding rice.

When they entered the house and saw the big pot steaming, Wang Meilan asked Zhao Youcai while untying her headscarf, "What are you cooking?"

"Stew three slices." Zhao Youcai stewed potato slices, carrot slices and dried tofu slices together. These three things were all chewy after stewing, and they were very delicious and good with rice.

"Mom." At this time, Zhao Hong came out of the west room and shouted to Wang Meilan, "I'm hungry."

"Dad, why are you cooking just now?" Wang Meilan asked Zhao Youcai with a complaint. It was past twelve o'clock, and not only the children were hungry, but the adults were also hungry.

"Why am I cooking just now?" Zhao Youcai waved his hand outside the house in annoyance and said, "People have been coming all morning. What do you want me to do?"

Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Wang Meilan hurriedly said, "Oh, you've worked hard, you've worked hard."

Zhao Youcai rolled his eyes at Wang Meilan. He would definitely not treat Wang Meilan like this if he wanted to leave it alone. But today I am at work. I have been busy all morning and still have to cook for you. Which of you dares to beep?

There was only one dish at noon, and everyone was hungry, so they mixed the dishes with rice one by one, picked up their bowls and slurped it into their mouths.

After dinner, the men sat in the east room and smoked, the children played in the west room, and the women cleaned up in the outhouse.

After cleaning up, Wang Meilan started to leave again. Zhao Youcai, who heard the noise, hurried out of the house and asked Wang Meilan, "Lan Na, are you still leaving?"

"Ah." Wang Meilan said to Zhao Youcai while tying her headscarf, "The work is not finished yet. How can we fix it if we don't leave?"

"Woof woof woof..." As soon as Wang Meilan finished speaking, there was another dog barking outside the house.

"Come on!" Wang Meilan greeted, and the women huffed and puffed out of the house.

The old lady and Li Tongyun greeted the children to leave, while Li Dayong, Li Dazhi, and Lin Xiangshun hid in the west room.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Youcai was alone in the room again.

He took a deep breath and walked out of the house.

At this time, Wang Meilan was talking to someone in front of the courtyard. Seeing Zhao Youcai coming out, Wang Meilan smiled and said: "Uncle Xiao, Youcai has come out, you can chat."

The person who came was an old man. He was dressed in tatters and exuded an unpleasant smell. At first glance, he looked like an old mountain dog building a shack in the mountains.

Just as Zhao Youcai welcomed Xiao Wanshan into the house, Zhao Jun was wandering out of Ma's house.

For those who have never drank alcohol, after drinking more than two taels of white wine today, they feel a little overwhelmed.

Ma Ling went out to see off Zhao Jun. The two chatted and walked slowly in the village.

Zhao Youcai invited people into the house, Xiao Wanshan sat down on the Kang, Zhao Youcai poured him tea, and Xiao Wanshan rolled a cigarette and smoked it himself.

"Uncle Xiao." Zhao Youcai said to Xiao Wanshan, "Why did you come back?"

"I arrived at home last night." Xiao Wanshan stared at Zhao Youcai and asked, "Youcai, why did your family collect these things before?"

"Oh!" Zhao Youcai couldn't hide his exhaustion and said, "Isn't my son getting older? My mother and I are thinking about making more money for him."

"Alas!" Xiao Wanshan sighed, shook his head and said, "It's all for the sake of the children."

With that said, Xiao Wanshan picked up the triangular bag on his lap, took out each leather roll and placed it on the kang table.

Zhao Youcai unfolded them one by one, inspected the yellow leaves in front of him, and then separated the male and female leaves on both sides.

"Youcai, are you ready to fight the big siege now?" Xiao Wanshan asked, and Zhao Youcai said, "Let's fight, Uncle Xiao."

After saying this, Zhao Youcai looked up at Xiao Wanshan and asked, "Uncle Xiao, what are you looking at in the mountains?"

"Looking at a bunch of pigs." Xiao Wanshan said, "There are twenty-five or six pigs."

"Where is it?" Zhao Youcai asked, and Xiao Wanshan said: "On the red pine hill at No. 62. When I came down yesterday afternoon, I saw a bunch of pigs feeding on the opposite hill."

"Ah..." Zhao Youcai clicked his eyes twice, and then said to Xiao Wanshan: "Uncle Xiao, you have ten males and thirteen females. I will give you thirty-eight males and twenty-eight females. "

"Okay, I have money." Xiao Wanshan was straightforward, because his family lived in Yong'an, and he didn't feel cold after walking for three or four minutes. So, he took the money Zhao Youcai gave him and went home.

Before leaving, Xiao Wanshan said to Zhao Youcai: "Youcai, I will get up early and go back to the shack tomorrow. If you want to go up the mountain, you can come to me."

"Uncle Xiao, I can't go these two days." Zhao Youcai said: "My family cannot live without people now. I have to be able to go in a few days."

Zhao Youcai was very self-aware. He wondered why he had to stay at home for three days and then think about going up the mountain.

After sending Xiao Wanshan away, when Zhao Youcai entered the house, he heard snoring one after another in the west room with the door closed.

Zhao Youcai returned to the east room, sat down on the edge of the kang, and then leaned back. After lying on the kang with his upper body, Zhao Youcai raised his feet and stepped on the edge of the kang to use his strength to get on the kang.

He had gotten up at 4:30 in the morning, and now it was two in the afternoon. Zhao Youcai wanted to lie down on the kang and squint for a while while no one was around.

As soon as Zhao Youcai lay down and closed his eyes, he heard a dog barking outside the house.

Zhao Youcai sat up in an instant, stretched his neck and looked outside, and immediately frowned.

The visitor is Tao Sansheng, Qin Qiang’s brother-in-law.

Zhao Youcai did not go out immediately, but the dogs in the courtyard kept barking. Zhao Youcai was afraid of disturbing the people sleeping in the west room, so he got up and went out.

"Uncle Zhao." Seeing Zhao Youcai coming out, Tao Sansheng greeted him with a smile and said, "Are you having a rest today?"

Zhao Youcai looked Tao Sansheng up and down with his little eyes. Seeing Tao Sansheng carrying a triangular bag, Zhao Youcai asked, "Why don't you, Uncle Qin, come out today? What are you waiting for? Isn't his eldest son back?"

Normally, a funeral takes place three days after death.

For people like Qin Dajiang, the funeral should be counted from the day the Tao brothers found out that he was dead, and the funeral should be the day before yesterday.

But Qin Dajiang's eldest son was out of town. After learning the news, he rushed back to the village last night.

"Uncle Zhao, I really don't understand this." Tao Sansheng smiled bitterly and said, "Who knows what the three brothers are doing."

Zhao Youcai stared at Tao Sansheng without saying anything. He didn't believe that Tao Sansheng didn't know.

The Zhao and Qin families have been very close friends since Zhao Jun.

After Zhao Jun was reborn the year before last, he had some unpleasantness with Qin Qiang because of Hua Xiao's incident, but that did not affect the relationship between the two elderly people.

Even though the Tao brothers later brought Qin Qiang to Zhao's house to cause trouble, Qin Dajiang also made things right.

From then on, regardless of the relationship between Qin Qiang and the Zhao family, Qin Dajiang and Zhao Youcai were still on good terms.

Now that Qin Dajiang is gone, there are still disputes between his sons, which makes Zhao Youcai feel a little uncomfortable.

Moreover, before Qin Dajiang was buried, Qin Qiang was eager to sell the yellow leaves that his father worked so hard to harvest, which made Zhao Youcai feel that Qin Dajiang was not worth it.

"Then why are you here?" Zhao Youcai asked. Tao Sansheng lifted the triangular pocket in his hand slightly and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhao, I have a few yellow leaves. I was wondering..."

"My family collects the yellow leaves." Zhao Youcai narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Thirty-six for the male and twenty-six for the female."

"Ah?" Tao Sansheng was stunned, looked at Zhao Youcai in disbelief, and asked: "Uncle Zhao, didn't you say the male's is thirty-eight and the female's is twenty-eight? Who was that yesterday... the one we went to the pole with? , Wei Tie’s uncle is here to sell it, why don’t you pay the price?”

"The price has dropped today." Zhao Youcai lowered his head and picked at his fingernails and said, "The manager of the Daohua County Supply and Marketing Cooperative is my wife's nephew. He called us specifically this morning to tell us that the price of Huang Yezi has dropped."

"Uncle Zhao, this can't be done!" Tao Sansheng heard this and said anxiously: "It's only been one day, how can you kill such an old man? Then what...Uncle Zhao, you still press thirty-eight or twenty Let us take eight, okay?"

"Is that okay? Okay?" Zhao Youcai said angrily: "My family has collected everything, how can I calculate the loss?"

With that said, Zhao Youcai waved his hand at Tao Sansheng and said: "If you are willing to sell, then sell it. If you are not willing to sell, then sell it down."

After saying that, Zhao Youcai turned around and walked into the courtyard.

"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao!" Tao Sansheng chased into the yard, grabbed Zhao Youcai and said, "Can't I sell it to you?"

Zhao Youcai paused. He originally wanted to use the excuse of lowering the price to refuse the yellow leaves that Tao Sansheng brought. But this man was chasing him. Zhao Youcai glanced at him and said, "Let's go into the house."

When the two of them went into the house, Zhao Youcai didn't pour water for Tao Sansheng, nor did he let him roll a cigarette. Tao Sansheng didn't care about that, he just took out the yellow leaves from his triangular pocket one by one.

Zhao Youcai checked and found that these yellow leaves were fifteen male and eighteen female.

Looking at these yellow leaves, Zhao Youcai felt even more uncomfortable. Think of Qin Dajiang, who is over sixty years old and still crawls around in the mountains for a day without enough food or drink to support such a son.

Zhao Youcai threw out a wad of unity and gave Tao Sansheng eight yuan in change, a total of one thousand and eight.

When Tao Sansheng was counting the money, the corners of his mouth almost reached the base of his ears. This money was left by Qin Dajiang for Qin Qiang, but Qin Qiang couldn't resist listening to his wife. In Zhao Jun's previous life, Na Tao Hehua was the second supporting brother of Yong'an Forest Farm.

As for number one, of course it is Zhao Chun.
