Chapter 867 Zhao Jun Returns Home as if in a Dream (October Additional Update 2741)
"Hold!" Zhang Yuanmin waved the whip made of triangular belts and drove the donkey to pull the sled to Mangliutun.
After walking two steps, Zhang Yuanmin reined in the donkey and looked at the distance.
"Why don't you move?" Wang Qiang, who was sitting on the sled, looked forward and hurriedly got off the sled.
Not far ahead stood a man, holding a triangular bag in one hand and a sheep in the other. It was Zhao Jun who came back from Yongshengtun.
"Brother!" Zhang Yuanmin shouted. He finally saw the backbone after encountering a sudden change today!
"Jun!" Wang Qiang ran towards Zhao Jun. Zhang Yuanmin held the donkey in his hand and wanted to move forward but couldn't.
The donkey had just arrived at the Zhao family not long ago and was still a little shy, and didn't recognize Zhang Yuanmin, so Zhang Yuanmin didn't dare to let it go casually.
"Uncle." Zhao Jun looked at Wang Qiang, then at Zhang Yuanmin, and said in surprise: "What are you doing? No... Why did you bring the donkey out?"
"Ah... what?" Wang Qiang stretched out his hand to stop Zhao Jun, saying: "Let's go out to do something!"
Wang Qiang said so, but he didn't say what he was going to do. But Zhang Yuanmin over there would not speak nonsense when he heard Wang Qiang's words.
"Ah." Wang Qiang didn't say anything, and Zhao Jun didn't ask in detail, just said: "Then uncle, how about I go with you? Hey?"
Zhao Jun suddenly thought of something, he frowned at Wang Qiang, and asked: "Aren't you going to hunt with my dad today?"
"Ah..." Wang Qiang blinked his eyes and said: "Your dad... well, their unit had something to do, and he was called away again this morning. So I didn't go today. Anyway, it's just hunting, so I'll go tomorrow."
Wang Qiang said so, which was reasonable, and Zhao Jun didn't think much about it. But at this moment, Wang Qiang suddenly grabbed Zhao Jun's triangular pocket.
"Huh?" Zhao Jun was startled, but he knew Wang Qiang, so he didn't fight with Wang Qiang.
But then, Wang Qiang took out a big stack of unity from his pocket and stuffed it in by pulling the pocket.
"Hey..." Zhao Jun was about to speak, but he saw Wang Qiang pretending to be mysterious and said: "This money is not convenient for my uncle to hold now. You put it back first, and let your mother keep it for me when you get home."
"Ah..." Zhao Jun didn't feel anything wrong when he heard Wang Qiang say that. As for Wang Qiang's inconvenience, Zhao Jun understood it as a secret between Wang Qiang and his wife.
So Zhao Jun didn't think about anything at this time, and thought that his uncle was quite capable and could hide so much money behind his wife's back.
This is only outside, otherwise Zhao Jun would have to tease Wang Qiang.
"Okay, uncle." Zhao Jun took the bag and said with a smile, "Then you go, I'm going back."
"Brother, where did you get the sheep?" Zhang Yuanmin had already understood Wang Qiang's thoughts at this time, so he didn't mention the matter of hunting cattle and paying money, but only asked Zhao Jun where the sheep in his hand came from.
Zhao Jun couldn't say that the sheep was bought by Zhao Youcai to feed the leopard, so he just said, "My sister gave it to me."
"Okay!" At this time, Wang Qiang, who got on the sled, waved to Zhao Jun and said, "Jun, you should go home quickly, it's very cold outside!"
"Well, then uncle and big brother." Zhao Jun said, "You two should go slowly!"
After that, Zhao Jun led the sheep away.
Seeing Zhao Jun leave, Wang Qiang whispered to Zhang Yuanmin, "Yuanmin, drive the sled and go to my house first. After that, we will go to find Zhang Dashetou!"
The thousand yuan was given to Zhao Jun, and Wang Qiang had to go home to get the money.
"Okay!" Zhang Yuanmin responded, whipped the donkey and rushed straight to his home.
"Hey! Hey!" Wang Qiang saw something was wrong and wanted to call Zhang Yuanmin.
But Zhang Yuanmin ignored him, and the donkey didn't listen to Wang Qiang's shouting, and soon arrived at Zhang Yuanmin's door.
"You..." Wang Qiang was about to speak, but saw Zhang Yuanmin hang the donkey reins on the tent, turned around and asked Wang Qiang: "Uncle, what do you think my brother treats me?"
"Ah? Ah..." After hearing what Zhang Yuanmin said, Wang Qiang knew what he meant, and nodded immediately: "Okay! You two brothers are really good, he treats you well, and you are also very kind to him."
"Hehehe..." Zhang Yuanmin laughed and said: "My uncle is a smart man, he understands it at once!"
"Don't talk to us about this!" Wang Qiang got off the sled and said to Zhang Yuanmin: "Let's not quarrel. Anyway, I tell you, the cow is one thousand yuan, and our family is five hundred. Don't pay for it yourself, I will share half with you."
"Okay!" Zhang Yuanmin was also straightforward and responded immediately: "Uncle, since you said so, then I will listen to you."
After saying this, Zhang Yuanmin asked, "Uncle, are you going home to get the money?"
"Do you have any here?" Wang Qiang asked back, "If you have it, you can give it to me. We'll go home together in the evening. I'll give it to you as soon as you pass by my door."
"Okay!" Zhang Yuanmin said, "Uncle, let's go in."
"What room?" Wang Qiang waved his hand and said, "Let's do what we need to do. When we get back, we still have to burn that big bull's head?"
"Oh!" Zhang Yuanmin glared and said, "That's not a big deal!"
"That's not a big deal!" Wang Qiang also imitated him and said, "Let your wife go too. This job can't be missed today."
"Yeah! Yeah!" Zhang Yuanmin responded twice, turned around and ran home, while Wang Qiang looked around with his hands behind his back.
At this time, Yang Yufeng was cleaning the cabinet at home. She suddenly looked up and looked out the window, and saw Zhang Yuanmin coming back.
Yang Yufeng was stunned, thinking: "Why is this bad guy back? Did he get into trouble again?"
She threw the rag away and walked quickly to the outer room. When Yang Yufeng arrived at the outer room, Zhang Yuanmin also entered the room.
"Wife!" Zhang Yuanmin raised his neck, pointed his chin at Yang Yufeng, and said, "Hurry up and give me a thousand yuan!"
"I think you look like a thousand yuan!" Yang Yufeng rolled her eyes, but heard Zhang Yuanmin say, "Keep your voice down, my brother will use it!"
"Ah! My brother will use it!" Hearing this, Yang Yufeng turned around and went into the room, got on the kang, opened the kang cabinet, and took out a nine-point bag from it.
At this time, Zhang Yuanmin followed in, and Yang Yufeng looked up and asked him, "Is one thousand enough?"
Yang Yufeng did not doubt Zhang Yuanmin's words at all, because she knew that Zhang Yuanmin was indeed a good liar, but he never lied about Zhao Jun.
"Enough." Zhang Yuanmin nodded, and saw Yang Yufeng took out a whole bundle of big unity and handed it to him. Then Zhang Yuanmin added: "I can return 500 in the evening."
"What?" Yang Yufeng frowned and said, "Give it to our brother, why should I return it?"
At this point, Yang Yufeng asked: "What's the matter? What happened to our brother?"
"Our brother is fine." Zhang Yuanmin remembered that Wang Qiang asked Yang Yufeng to go to Zhao Jun's house, but he was afraid that Yang Yufeng would be frightened and tell everything.
So Zhang Yuanmin briefly described the matter. After listening to Zhang Yuanmin's words, Yang Yufeng was stunned!
There are also hunters in Yang Yufeng's family. The legendary Yang Xiazi is still Yang Yufeng's elder!
When Yang Yufeng was a child, her parents and brothers often talked and boasted about hunting wild boars and black blinds when they drank.
So although Yang Yufeng didn't know the tricks of hunting, she knew a lot of stories.
But Yang Yufeng had never heard of such a thing as carrying a gun and a dog to slaughter an old cow.
"I'm leaving!" Zhang Yuanmin didn't care what Yang Yufeng was thinking, and just told her: "Pack up and go there quickly. There's a lot of work to do at my uncle's house. When you get there, don't talk nonsense!"
After that, Zhang Yuanmin ran out with the money in his pocket, leaving Yang Yufeng behind for a long time.
At this time, Zhao Jun was almost home. Suddenly, a cold wind blew and a smell of mutton came into Zhao Jun's nose.
"Huh?" Zhao Jun was stunned, feeling something was wrong, and looked down at the big ewe beside him.
"It's not the smell of sheep!" Zhao Jun was still wondering.
At this time, the dogs of the Zhao and Li families all barked. The dogs of the Li family were still okay, but the dogs of the Zhao family were originally staying in the doghouse, and suddenly all rushed out.
Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up, and he stood up and looked outside the yard. He knew that the dogs had such a reaction, and he must have thought that Zhao Jun was back.
Zhao Youcai felt like every second was a year while Wang Qiang and Zhang Yuanmin were gone.
Wang Meilan said nothing, but she glared at him from time to time, which made Zhao Youcai feel uneasy.
"Huh?" Zhao Jun saw Zhao Youcai through the wicker curtain. He blinked twice and thought, "Didn't my uncle say that my dad went to work?"
Zhao Jun suddenly realized that something was wrong and hurried to the gate of the yard. When he reached the gate, he saw a round table standing by the side of the yard and some cow bones that had not been completely decomposed on the ground.
If the cowhide was hung in the front yard, Zhao Jun would have seen it at a glance. But now, Zhao Jun walked into the yard blankly.
"Go! Go!" Wang Meilan chased the dog away twice, and she came to Zhao Jun quickly, saying, "Son, are you back? Where did this sheep come from?"
"Ah?" Zhao Jun handed the rope to Wang Meilan, saying, "My Aunt Zhou gave it to me."
Wang Meilan looked at the sheep's belly and recognized it. She looked back at Zhao Youcai, who turned around and chopped beef ribs with an axe.
Zhao Jun never thought that his father could work as a cow when he went out. In these days, the yards in the countryside are also large. At this time, Zhao Jun was nearly 20 meters away from Zhao Youcai, and he didn't see clearly what was wrong over there.
So Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan went into the warehouse together, settled the big ewe, and put the fungus and dried pears into the storage cabinet in the warehouse.
"Mom." Zhao Jun touched the bulging part of the cotton monkey and said to Wang Meilan, "I picked up a little black bear yesterday."
"Yes!" Wang Meilan smiled and said, "Then send it to the house quickly."
Zhao Jun smiled and responded, and walked out of the warehouse and walked towards the house. When he arrived at the door of the room, Zhao Jun tilted his head and took a look, and couldn't help thinking, "What did my dad do?"
Zhao Jun went straight to his room, and then he pulled out the pine box where the little lynx used to sleep from under the table.
Since the little guy grew up, it no longer sleeps in the box. Like a domestic cat, it lies at the feet of its owner at night. When it gets cold in the room in the middle of the night, it also crawls into the quilt.
The box is now empty, just right for the little black bear to live in.
Zhao Jun touched the head of his kang and felt that the temperature was okay, so he put the box on it.
When he first came in, he saw that the door of the east room was closed, and there were still some sounds in that room. He thought that the little lynx must have been locked up in that room by Wang Meilan.
Zhao Jun took the little black bear out of his arms and put it in a box. There was an old quilt in the box, and the little black bear lay on the quilt. Zhao Jun covered it with another layer at the mouth of the box. It wouldn't be cold to stay at the head of the kang like this.
After settling the little black bear, Zhao Jun put the triangular bag on the kang cabinet.
Then Zhao Jun wanted to go out. He wanted to find Wang Meilan and tell her everything that Wang Qiang had just given him, and entrusted to him, with one thousand yuan.
But at this moment, Zhao Jun saw the canvas backpack placed against the kang cabinet.
Before, Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang came into the house to deliver guns and other things, hung the guns on the wall, and then put all the things in Zhao Jun's room.
When Zhao Jun saw the bag, he knew it was issued by the forestry team. In the previous life, the forestry team issued this kind of bag, and Lin Xiangshun gave his to Zhao Jun, so Zhao Jun was particularly impressed.
"What is here?" Zhao Jun curiously touched it and felt that there seemed to be a dough-like object inside.
"Huh?" Zhao Jun opened the bag again and found that it was a flour bag. Zhao Jun opened the flour bag again and couldn't help curling his lips.
It turned out to be cornmeal inside!
Zhao Jun was stunned!
Who took the trouble to put this thing in the bag?
Suddenly, Zhao Jun saw the triangular bag on the table in the corner. From the tie of the bag, he could see that there was also a flour bag inside.
Zhao Jun was purely curious, so he went over to open the triangular bag and then the flour bag. After taking a look, he curled his lips again. There were big pancakes inside.
Zhao Jun tied up the flour bag and the bag regretfully and went out of the house. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Wang Meilan coming over with a bunch of branches.
"Oh my god." Zhao Jun asked with a smile: "Why did the cornmeal and pancakes end up in my house?"
Wang Meilan glanced at Zhao Youcai and said: "That's supplies."
"What? Chickens?" Zhao Jun's heart skipped a beat. He didn't understand and thought Wang Meilan was scolding him.
"Supplies!" Wang Meilan pinched her throat and said: "Didn't people have supplies when they fought in the past? When Zhao Batou went up the mountain to hunt, didn't he have to prepare everything?"
"Ah..." Zhao Jun understood. He subconsciously looked at Zhao Youcai, but saw his father with his back to him, still chopping ribs there!
Zhao Jun frowned. He felt that the bones were not from the animals he was familiar with.
Zhao Jun squinted his eyes and thought, "What is my father doing?"
But at this time, Zhao Jun thought of the supplies again, and couldn't help muttering to himself, "Those things must be more than 30 kilograms. How can we carry them up the mountain? Aren't they heavy?"
"Why can't we carry them?" Wang Meilan said on the side, "If they can't carry their heads, they still have their subordinates, right?"
Supplies and subordinates, these were what Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong said at the beginning, and now they have been sent back by Wang Meilan.
"Hands..." Zhao Jun was stunned. He squinted his eyes twice and thought, "Didn't I stay at home last night? What happened at home?"
Zhao Jun looked at the table standing aside, looking at the meat, bones, and hooves on the table, he walked towards it with his eyes wide open.
When Zhao Jun arrived at the table, he saw a big iron bucket next to it. Zhao Jun looked inside and met a pair of cow eyes that were still open.
"Oh my god!" The frightened Zhao Jun couldn't help but swear. At this moment, he just suspected that he was dreaming!
