Chapter 985 There Is Always Someone Trying to Trick Me
Today, Wang Meilan and her family members did tailoring work at home for a whole day, and they didn't finish work until 4:30.
Jin Xiaomei, Yang Yufeng, Xu Chunyan, the old lady, and Jie Sun were packing up in the house, while Wang Meilan took Zhao Chun and Zhao Ling to cook in the outer room.
Wang Meilan put the thawed and chopped wild boar halaba bones into the pot and blanched them with water, while Zhao Chun and Zhao Ling cut sauerkraut on the side.
"I've been busy these days." Wang Meilan muttered, "I haven't had time to make something to eat."
"Huh?" Zhao Chun was stunned when she heard this. She didn't quite understand what her mother meant by "food".
Everyone was busy at noon today, and they didn't cook. They just ate trough cakes and drank hot water.
But we can eat big bones stewed with sauerkraut at night. Is this food bad?
A wild boar only has two halaba bones, but the halaba bones that Wang Meilan wants to stew with sauerkraut are collected from four wild boars. After being chopped into small pieces, they fill up half a basin.
Besides, today is Friday. Last Sunday, we had a feast at home and prepared more than ten hard dishes. There were many leftovers because we couldn't finish them. We have been cleaning up the leftovers these days.
Although they are leftovers, they are hard dishes. There is meat every day, so why do you still complain about the bad food?
What Zhao Chun didn't know was that she didn't catch up with the good times. Wang Meilan had a feast every day a while ago, but she has been quiet recently.
Of course, there is a very important reason here, that is, Zhao Jun has not brought back many preys recently.
The day after the wedding, Zhao Jun got the marriage certificate and was busy with the birth of the little bear, so he didn't go up the mountain.
On Tuesday, he took the dog out to fight and met the Siberian tiger. Although Zhao Jun brought back half of the wild boar that the Siberian tiger had eaten when he returned home. But the wild boar had been frozen in the mountains for a day, and it was frozen through when we got home. If we wanted to skin it, we had to drag it into the house and put it under the fire wall to slowly thaw it.
Because the dog died in those two days, Wang Meilan was not in the mood to prepare food, so she buried the half wild boar in the snow behind the house.
The same treatment was done with the four pig legs that Li Baoyu and his friends brought back yesterday.
Just as Wang Meilan was feeling melancholy, a faint dog barking came from outside the house.
"Ah! Ah!" The barking came from Hei Hu, who was "hospitalized" in the warehouse. He heard the sound of a car in the distance and knew that Zhao Jun had returned.
But he was in the warehouse, and when the barking reached Wang Meilan's ears in the house, she couldn't hear it clearly.
Then, the three dogs raised in the Li family next door barked.
The barking of the dogs became a series, and Wang Meilan hurriedly threw the strainer into the basin, pushed the door and ran out.
In the past, whenever Zhao Jun went out hunting, Wang Meilan would wait for her son to return home with a full load.
But today, Wang Meilan was worried about the hunting dogs Zhao Jun took out.
Black Tiger was healing his leg, Little Bear was in confinement, and the five main forces died in battle. Now Zhao Jun took away seven dogs. The two hard-core accomplices Erhei and Bailong were okay, but Qinglong, Heilong, and Xiaohua were not considered mature dogs, and their fighting power was far inferior to that of Dapang and the others.
As for Huanglong and Hualong, Wang Meilan temporarily ignored their fighting power.
"Son!" When Wang Meilan ran out of the house, she just caught up with Zhao Jun getting off the co-pilot.
It was late at night, and there were no street lights in the countryside. With the weak light from the house, Wang Meilan vaguely saw a figure and subconsciously called Zhao Jun.
"Mom!" Zhao Jun hurriedly said, "Don't worry!"
"Why are you running, sister?" Wang Qiang echoed, "Slow down!"
When Wang Meilan arrived at the door, she heard Zhao Chun shouting at the door: "Mom, are Xiaojun and the others back?"
"Yes!" Wang Meilan responded, and turned around to ask Zhao Jun, "Son, how are you today?"
"Very good, Mom." As soon as Zhao Jun opened his mouth, he heard Wang Meilan ask, "Where's the dog?"
"The dog is also fine." Zhao Jun added, "It was just that the head of Hualong's shoulder was picked by Pao Luanzi, but it's okay. I guess it's sealed now."
"Ah..." When Wang Meilan was talking, Wang Qiang and Jie Chen had put the hunting dogs down from the car. When the dogs saw Wang Meilan, they immediately started to have fun. The small dogs pounced and rubbed against Wang Meilan, and the big dogs shook their heads around her, flipping their paws and clapping their hands.
As soon as these dogs made a noise, the three dogs in the Li family yard instantly fell silent.
The hunting dogs were in a mess, and Wang Qiang shouted at Zhao Jun: "Nephew, what should we do with the wild boar and black bear in the car?"
Zhao Jun heard this and turned to Wang Meilan and said: "Mom, what should we do?"
It was dark, and Wang Meilan couldn't see clearly, but she felt relieved when she heard Zhao Jun say that the dogs were fine.
At this time, Wang Meilan was overjoyed to hear that there were wild boars and black bears.
"Sister-in-law!" Jin Xiaomei's voice came from the other side of the house. She walked to the gate of the yard and shouted: "Can't we call them out?"
"Xiaomei!" Wang Meilan waved her hand behind her and shouted: "Light the lamp!"
Wang Meilan often heard his father shout these two words when he was a child. At that time, Zhao Jun's grandfather Zhao Dazhu and Xu Changlin went up the mountain to hunt, and often walked a hundred or eighty miles in the mountain a day. Although it was dark when they returned to the village, they had to send the prey to Old Wang's house first to see if Wang Daba Zhang would like it.
At that time, the rich man Wang would have people light lanterns and use the light to select prey.
When she shouted "Light the lanterns", Wang Meilan felt her heart suddenly brightened, and immediately turned around and added: "Take out the lanterns, flashlights, etc."
At Wang Meilan's order, Zhao Jun's house suddenly became lively. Soon, lanterns were hung on both sides of the courtyard gate, and there were people in the courtyard holding electric batons.
"Oh my god." Zhao Jun said to Wang Meilan, "I don't think it's cold here. Shall we dig it up tonight?"
Wang Meilan went up to take a look and her big eyes instantly disappeared with laughter.
Two wild boars and two black bears, one big and one small. But of the two wild boars, the smaller one was still alive.
"Dig it up!" Wang Meilan's eyes lit up and she said, "After digging, we'll roast the meat tomorrow!"
"Then dig it up now?" Wang Qiang said, "After digging, shall we eat?"
"Okay!" Wang Meilan nodded heavily and said to Jin Xiaomei, "Xiaomei, take Feng and the others to your house and clean up the land in the outer room. When you're done, dig it up inside."
It would be fine if it was done during the day in the middle of winter. Now it's dark and you can't see clearly with the lamp, so you definitely can't do it outside.
Jin Xiaomei agreed and took Yang Yufeng, Zhao Ling and Xu Chunyan to her own home.
As soon as they entered the house, the other three put away the table in the outer room and sent the benches and brooms to the inner room. As for Jin Xiaomei, she was busy cleaning the pot and lighting the fire.
The bear bile brought back by Zhao Jun had to be processed quickly, and there were pickled cabbage and bones stewed in the Zhao family's pot, so the work of dipping the bear bile had to be done at Li's house.
Just as Jin Xiaomei boiled the water, Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang, and Jie Chen dragged the big cannon egg in.
This big cannon egg weighed more than 450 kilograms when it was alive, and it still weighed more than 400 kilograms at this time.
This is because the pig hair tube is hollow, and the wild boar is also the same. When dragging a wild boar on the snow, the wild boar hair is wrapped in snow, and the more you drag the wild boar, the heavier it becomes.
"The intestines and other things are all in the stomach." Zhao Jun laughed and said, "Didn't my mother say to feed dry intestines? I didn't throw away the intestines."
"Then I'll get a basin!" Jin Xiaomei hurried to the bowl rack.
"Well, you guys can peel it." Wang Qiang said, "The sooner you finish peeling it, the sooner it will be clean."
Whether it is a wild boar or a black bear, the smell on the body is not small, making the house full of pungent smell. But for the sake of eating, you can't care about this.
The outer room of Li's family is small, so they dragged the cannon egg in. The outer room of Zhao's family is large, so they had to get both black bears in, and then everyone started to dig together.
The big black bear weighed more than 300 kilograms when he was alive. After death, it was fat and plump. As soon as it entered the Zhao family yard, the black tiger in the warehouse kept "wow".
On the contrary, Qinglong and the others didn't react much. After all, they were with the black bear all the way back, and they were familiar with its taste.
"Brother Jun!" Xie Chen said to Zhao Jun in the sound of dogs barking: "Black Tiger knows how to guard the house."
"Yeah." Zhao Jun nodded and smiled: "It's not in vain to feed it."
"Wow..."
The two people outside were talking and laughing, but the black tiger in the warehouse was anxious. It has a good nose. It can not only smell the smell of wild boars and black bears, but also the smell of blood.
The black tiger knows everything. It knows that it can eat this meat, so it keeps barking.
But Zhao Jun didn't want to feed it meat today. After dragging the two black bears into the house, Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang, and Jie Chen took the big one, while Wang Meilan, Zhao Chun, the old lady, and Jie Sunshi took the small one.
After everyone got started, Zhao Chun, who was near the door, heard the faint barking of dogs coming from outside and asked in confusion: "Why is the dog still barking?"
"Is it for the wild boar behind the house?" Wang Meilan raised her hand and gestured in the direction behind the house, saying: "Isn't it still alive, in the roe deer pen?"
"Ah..." After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhao Chun nodded and ignored the "howling" dogs outside.
...
The small train stopped outside Yong'an Village, and the workers got off the train one after another, walking home in groups of three or two.
As soon as I entered the village, I saw a flashlight beam coming out from the alley in the east.
"Hey, Brother Han!" Li Baoyu saw that it was Han Shang who was carrying a medical kit, and hurriedly greeted him.
"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Li, Brother Lin, are you off work?" Han Shang saw that it was them, and hurriedly trotted over to greet Zhao Youcai and others.
"Ah, Xiao Han." Zhao Youcai greeted casually: "What are you doing?"
"That..." Han Shang pointed back and said: "Grandma Xu is not in a good mood today, let me go over to see her."
"Ah?" Zhao Youcai glanced at the direction Han Shang pointed and asked: "Is it Old Xu Pao's house?"
"Yeah." Han Shang nodded slightly and whispered: "The old lady urinated blood, it seems not too good."
"Oh!" Zhao Youcai frowned when he heard the words, and Li Dayong and others also sighed.
At this time, Han Shang looked at Li Baoyu and asked, "Baoyu, how is the big yellow dog at home? Why didn't you ask me to go over for injections these two days?"
"Ah..." When Han Shang mentioned Dahuang, the faces of the three Li family fathers and sons all darkened. Li Baoyu sighed and said, "The dog is gone, no need to inject it, Brother Han."
Hearing Li Baoyu's words, Han Shang blinked his eyes twice and didn't say anything. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little solemn.
"Well...that..." Then, when Han Shang spoke again, he said, "I only went home once, and the medical fee was just that."
"Huh?" Zhao Youcai and others were all stunned, and Li Dayong immediately said, "Han, don't be so mean, let's just pay the money we should pay."
Before, no one expected Dahuang to leave so soon. Zhao Jun originally planned to give Dahuang injections every ten or twenty days.
So, at the beginning, he agreed with Han Shang that they would settle the bill together after all the injections that should be given were given.
But the next day, Dahuang passed away, and everyone was so immersed in grief that they were eager to avenge the dog and forgot about the matter.
In theory, since I only visited Han Shang once and didn't use his medicine, it wouldn't cost much in total. They all live in the same village. Even if Han Shang doesn't want the money, the Zhao and Li families will give him some money from other places in the future.
But since Han Shang asked for it, the Li family had to give it. After all, they used someone else's money, so they really owed Han Shang a visit fee.
"What are you going to give me back, Uncle Li?" Han Shang smiled and said, "Eight cents, one dime, that's all!"
"No, no!" Li Dayong waved his hands and said, "What are you going to do? It's not easy for you this day!"
As he said that, Li Dayong reached into his pocket to take out the money.
Money is easy to talk about, but it's hard to repay favors.
Especially Han Shang, who is a calculative person, is not easy to get along with. I don't know if he really cares about that little money or wants to make trouble. So no matter what he said, Li Dayong wanted to give him the money quickly.
Li Dayong reached into his pocket and took out a five-yuan bill.
Like Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong also gets five yuan in pocket money every month. But Li Baoyu has kept these five yuan for more than half a month and hasn't spent them.
"No change." Li Dayong glanced at Li Baoyu and asked, "Boss, do you have any?"
"Yes!" Li Baoyu said, reaching into his pocket, taking out a one-yuan note and handing it to Han Shang, saying, "Brother Han, get out of the way."
"Oh!" Han Shang pulled his hand back and said, "Brother, I don't have any change in my pocket, so let's just leave it like this."
Li Baoyu's mouth twitched, and he tilted his head to look at Li Ruhai. Li Ruhai was about to speak when he heard Zhao Youcai say, "Han, I have some here, I'll give it to you."
As he said that, Zhao Youcai took out his 42 cents from his pocket. Moreover, Zhao Baotou didn't give Han Shang a dime, but gave him two dime directly, and said: "Han Na, thank you for your trouble."
"Oh? Uncle Zhao, what do you say?" Han Shang smiled and said: "If there is anything in the future, you and Uncle Li will call me."
"Okay, okay." Zhao Youcai said, pointing to the side, and said: "You should go home quickly, Juanzi has prepared the meal at home, right?"
"Okay!" Han Shang smiled when he heard the words, and said goodbye to everyone and left in a hurry.
After looking at Han Shang who was leaving, Li Dayong said to Zhao Youcai: "Brother, I'll give you the money when we get home."
"What the hell is that?" Zhao Youcai rolled his eyes and said: "What are you giving me?"
Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Li Dayong smiled and said: "Forget it."
After saying this, Li Dayong suddenly changed the subject and said: "Brother, do you have the money to buy a dog? If not, I can help you get fifty?"
When Li Dayong said this, Li Baoyu and Li Ruhai looked at each other, and Lin Xiangshun curled his lips.
"No need." Zhao Youcai said, "The money is ready. When will he need it?"
"That's not urgent." Li Dayong said, "Just go get the dog someday and give it to him someday."
"Ah..." Zhao Youcai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask Zhao Jun to get it tomorrow."
"Hmm?" Li Baoyu was stunned when he heard this and blurted out, "Sir, let my brother go?"
"Ah!" Zhao Youcai glanced at Li Baoyu and said, "He doesn't have anything to do all day, so he can go. It just so happens that I have a car, so I'll drive to Yongfu and bring back the three dogs I bought from Lao Hong's house."
Hearing what he said, Li Baoyu blinked twice and felt that someone was trying to trick his brother.
