While Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan were bickering in the east room, bursts of laughter came from the west room.
Xing San sat on the edge of the kang and washed his feet, while Zhao Jun warmed the quilt on the kang.
Sleeping on a kang is bound to be hot in the first half of the night and cold in the second half, so when warming the quilt, you can't just spread it out flat. Instead, you have to fold the two sides of the quilt inward, then curl your feet inward, making it like a sleeping bag, and then crawl into it.
When Zhao Jun moved the quilt, the little lynx was making trouble nearby.
This kind of messing is actually in its blood and instinct. The little lynx begins to change its teeth, and its nature as a top predator gradually emerges. When it sees the shaking horns, it will subconsciously pounce.
But it had never seen blood in its entire life. After it was weaned, the Zhao family fed it raw meat, which they fed it with the meat they had cut off.
Therefore, the little lynx is not very aggressive. It is just playing when it pounces on the corners of the quilt. At most, it will take a few bites after it catches the quilt.
When Zhao Jun put a pillow cushion on the pillow, the little lynx became extremely excited. It bit one side of the pillow and started pulling with Zhao Jun.
"Fuck!" Zhao Jun raised his hands as if to attack, but the little lynx was not afraid.
Zhao Jun put down his raised hands, then used both hands to snatch the pillow from the lynx's mouth.
Looking at Fei Bianzi's pillow, Zhao Jun pushed the little lynx away and said, "Look at what you got bitten!"
The little lynx was not afraid of Zhao Jun at all. It moved forward again. When Zhao Jun reached out to push it, the little lynx lay down on the mattress. Then it used its head to hit the kang, and then twisted its body and turned over with its belly facing up.
This one is somewhat similar to Black Tiger, but its movements are much cuter than Black Tiger's.
"What a day!" Zhao Jun complained, but his hands involuntarily rubbed the little lynx's belly.
When he was touched, a smile appeared on Zhao Jun's face unconsciously.
In all wild animals, the hair on their bellies is softer than that on other parts of their bodies.
The little lynx has become plump and plump after eating so much at Zhao Jun's house, with a round belly. When you touch its belly, it feels so velvety.
"Ao!" At this time, the little black bear in the pine wood box in the corner of the kang let out a loud cry at Zhao Jun.
The year 86 was the year before last.
When Xing Zhiyong and Li Hu asked the Zhao army to go hunting, they wanted to capture the little black blind mouse alive.
Zhao Jun was watching from the side at the time. The little black blind cat, which weighed about 80 to 90 kilograms and was about one year old, had a childish but creepy voice.
But the cry of my own little black bear is soft and sweet.
According to Zhao Youcai, Wang Qiang and others, there used to be a beekeeper at the south end of the village who raised black bee cubs in his apiary.
Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang also went to see it, but the calls of the two-month-old black bees raised in the apiary were unpleasant, unlike the ones they raised at home.
Until the day before yesterday, the little black blind boy was running on the kang towards Zhao Jun, but he stepped on the small broom used to sweep the kang and slipped onto Xing San.
This little black fat boy, as fat as a ball, weighs 28.5 kilograms. He was almost suffocated by the pressure from the old man.
Xing San stood up, grabbed the little black bear by the back of the neck, and slapped it twice. The little black bear howled after being beaten, and the sound was really unpleasant.
From then on, Zhao Jun knew that when the little black bear barked at his family, it made a clapper sound.
Since Xing San slapped it twice, the little black bear has been very obedient in front of the old man. Every night when Xing San sits on the kang, it will run back to its pinewood box.
When Xing San fell asleep, it would come out of the box and sneak to Zhao Jun's side. Like a puppy, it would curl up at Zhao Jun's feet and sleep. When it got cold in the second half of the night, it would crawl into Zhao Jun's bed with the little lynx.
Seeing Zhao Jun playing with the little lynx, the little black bear couldn't help but cry out.
Zhao Jun took one look at it and couldn't help laughing out loud.
The pine box was not very big, and it was fine for the black bear cub to sleep in when it was born.
How big is it now?
It's more than ten times bigger than before.
At this time, the little black bear lay down in the box with meat spilling out, which looked very funny.
"You're still happy." Xing San wiped his feet and said to Zhao Jun, "You've ruined this little tiger cub."
"What's the matter, Uncle?" Zhao Jun asked. Xing San said, "You are still pointing at it to catch roe deer. I think it has a hard time catching mice. Look at that fat one, look at its belly."
"Hehe..." Upon hearing that, Zhao Jun couldn't help but pat the little lynx on the belly twice. The little lynx looked at Zhao Jun with its round little eyes.
Lynx looks its best at this time.
When it is too young, it has a pointed face and monkey cheeks. But when it grows up, it is not cute anymore.
"What fun, Third Uncle." Zhao Jun said with a smile, "I've grown attached to it. I don't care what it catches anymore. I'll just treat it like a cat."
"Then what are you going to do with that thing of yours?" Xing San said, pointing back at the little black bear.
Seeing Xing San pointing at himself, the little black bear raised its head suddenly, and then it seemed to want to put its head away, but the entire pine box was filled with it, and there was no place to put its head.
"Oh, let's keep it for now." Zhao Jun didn't even look up when he spoke. He was very happy as he felt the little lynx's belly burst.
But even without looking, Zhao Jun knew who Xing San was talking about.
"What are we going to do next?" Xing San said, "It's not like a tiger cub. A tiger cub weighs only about 100 to 180 kilograms at most. With the conditions at your house, a female black bear can weigh up to 400 kilograms."
"What should we do?" Zhao Jun said with a bit of helplessness in his tone, "I can't bear to sell it, let alone kill it. Let's just keep it for now..."
Zhao Jun said, turning his head to look at the little black bear. This look made Zhao Jun laugh.
The little black bear that Xing San had just pointed at turned around because it had nowhere to hide, with its head facing the corner and its butt facing Xing San.
"If you can't raise it anymore, just let it go." Zhao Jun said with a smile, "If you develop feelings for it, what can you do?"
At this point, Zhao Jun paused, then called out, "Xiao Hei."
Hearing Zhao Jun calling his name, the little black bear in the pine box suddenly stood up and jumped out of the box, but he was a little clumsy and knocked the box over.
The little black bear pounced towards Zhao Jun. The little lynx, who was lying on its back beside Zhao Jun, felt a black sensation on its head and turned over and got up.
After getting up, the little lynx saw the little black bear pounce on Zhao Jun, so it raised its paw and hit the little black bear on the lower back.
The little black bear was thick-skinned and tough at a young age, and the little lynx didn't show its claws. So the little black bear rubbed its head against Zhao Jun's leg as if nothing had happened after being slapped twice.
……
The next morning, just after four o'clock, Zhao Youcai got up.
He put on his cotton jacket, went out to fetch firewood, press water, make a fire, and boil water in the two large pots outside the house.
There is still dog food in one pot of water, but the other pot is not filled with pig food today, but just boiling water.
Zhao Jun in the west room felt some movement nearby. He opened his eyes dazedly and heard Xing San say, "Go to sleep, kid. I'll go out and work with your dad. You're not needed."
"Uncle, please wear more clothes." Zhao Jun reminded him, turned over, and continued to sleep with the little lynx on his arms and the little black bear on his lower body.
When Xing San left the house, Li Dayong from next door also came out. Following Zhao Youcai's instructions, the two of them hung the wild boar skin on the wall between the two houses, and then used a water scoop to pour boiling water on the wild boar skin.
In fact, this is the process of removing the hair from pigs.
All the boar hair that fell off was collected in a large basin. It was brought into the house, with a little clean water poured in, and then the boar hair in the basin was scrubbed with pig pancreas.
The bristles of wild boar hair are like needles, and even though they are not bristles, they are quite hard and not easy to scrub.
Zhao Youcai and Xing San sat on a small stool and scrubbed the clothes slowly, while Li Dayong was outside putting out pig food, feeding the dogs and pigs.
After scrubbing the wild boar hair, rinse it with clean water twice, scoop it up with a colander and put it on the lid curtain, then place it next to the fire wall to dry.
By the time they finished all these, it was already half past six. Zhao Youcai had no time to eat, so he got into the jeep with Zhao Jun and headed towards Yongshengtun first.
There is a saying: three days is an invitation, two days is a request, and one day is a trick.
The earlier you invite someone to dinner, the more you value it.
Although today is only two days before the Zhao family slaughters the pig, transportation and communication are not convenient these days. It is well done that Zhao Youcai and his son Zhao Jun can go to the house in person to invite them.
The big jeep is fast and it only takes about ten minutes to reach Yongshengtun.
After entering the village and arriving at Zhou's house, Zhao Jun parked the car and walked into the yard with Zhao Youcai.
At this time, most of the families of forestry workers have already gotten up and started cooking.
The same was true for Old Zhou's family. At this time, the field outside his house was filled with fog.
This is how cooking is done on a stove in the countryside. Once the steam comes up, it fills the whole house.
In the outer room, opposite the bowl rack, Zhou Jianjun was brushing his teeth in front of the washbasin.
When they saw Zhao Youcai coming in, the mother and daughter were stunned. Zhou Jianjun hurriedly rinsed and wiped his mouth and shouted "Dad".
"My dear, you are here..." Hu Sanmei subconsciously wanted to ask Zhao Youcai why he came, but she felt that it was not right to ask halfway, so she quickly changed the topic and said, "Come upstairs."
After greeting Zhao Youcai, Hu Sanmei shouted to the inner room: "Chun'er, stop busying yourself, your father is here!"
"My dad?" Zhao Chun, who was wiping the cabinet in the room, was stunned. The kang had just been heated in the morning, and the room was dusty, so he had to wipe it with a rag.
At this time, Zhao Chun realized that the father that Hu Sanmei was calling was not her father-in-law. If it was her father-in-law, Hu Sanmei would not have called him, but would have called him "Your father is back".
Zhao Chun threw the rag away and ran out of the house without even caring about the child who was woken up by Hu Sanmei.
Her father must have something to do since he came here so early. And considering her family's financial situation, it was impossible for her to come here to borrow money.
So at this time Zhao Chun guessed that her father and mother must have had a quarrel, and her father was kicked out by her mother.
But when he went out to the outer room, he saw Zhao Jun had also come in, and Zhao Chun was relieved.
"My eldest daughter." Seeing Zhao Chun, Zhao Youcai raised his head, pointed his chin at Zhao Chun, and asked, "Where is my eldest grandson?"
As soon as Zhao Youcai finished speaking, he heard a child crying in the house.
Seeing that his father didn't seem to be in trouble, Zhao Chun hurriedly turned around and ran into the house, followed closely by Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai, Zhou Jianjun and Hu Sanmei.
Zhao Chun entered the room, picked up the child, and patted him twice. The child stopped crying when he saw his mother.
"My great grandson." Zhao Youcai came over, looked at Zhou Tao with a pout, and said with a smile, "Come, let grandma hug you."
As he said that, Zhao Youcai took Zhou Tao over. With four children in his family, Zhao Youcai knew how to hold a child. His arms were still strong, so he held the fat boy in his arms and bounced him around a few times, making the child grin.
Zhao Chun looked at Zhao Youcai, then at Zhao Jun, and asked, "Brother, what are you two doing here so early?"
If Hu Sanmei and Zhou Jianjun are embarrassed to ask, it is okay for Zhao Chun to ask.
But Zhao Jun did not answer. Instead, he reached out and pulled Zhao Youcai. Zhao Youcai had to speak up first.
"Haha." Zhao Youcai smiled at Zhou Tao, then raised his head and said to Hu Sanmei, "Mother-in-law, when my father-in-law comes back tonight, tell him that you all should go to my house to eat pork tomorrow."
"Oh my!" Hu Sanmei heard this and said, "Your family is going to slaughter the pig tomorrow? Your in-laws haven't come back yet, and we haven't discussed when to slaughter it yet."
"Come to my house for dinner tomorrow." Zhao Youcai replied to Hu Sanmei with a smile, then glanced at Zhao Jun and said to Hu Sanmei, "Just wait at home tomorrow, and I'll ask the boy to pick you up after that."
"No, no." Hu Sanmei quickly refused and said, "Please don't bother the child."
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Youcai gently shook the little Zhou Tao in his arms and said to Hu Sanmei, "Your Excellency is fine, but the main thing is that I can't let my eldest grandson get cold."
Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Hu Sanmei laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll talk to your in-laws when they come back."
"That's settled." Zhao Youcai said, handing Zhou Tao back to Zhao Chun, and said, "Then we'll go."
"Why are you leaving, relative?" Upon hearing this, Hu Sanmei hurriedly said, "Eat here and then go back."
"Dad, don't leave." Zhou Jianjun also said, "I'll go and exchange for two large pieces of tofu. You and Xiaojun can eat here."
"No more eating." Zhao Youcai reached out and gently stroked Zhou Tao's little face, then said, "We still have to go to those two villages, we have to tell people the news before we go to work."
After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Zhao Chun and the other two stopped trying to persuade him. They sent Zhao Youcai and Zhao Jun to the outer room. Seeing Zhou Jianjun putting on a cotton jacket, Zhao Youcai stopped him and said, "Jianjun, you don't have to send us off. We are family. Why are we going out? It's very cold."
After talking to Zhou Jianjun, Zhao Youcai said to Zhao Chun in a very kind manner: "My dear daughter, Dad is gone."
"Dad, slow down." Zhao Chun, who was holding the child, responded. She stood at the door and watched Zhao Youcai and Zhao Jun go out. Hu Sanmei pushed Zhou Jianjun, and Zhou Jianjun hurriedly followed.
After being discharged from the hospital and getting in the car, Zhao Jun glanced at Zhao Youcai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, with an inexplicable look before starting the car.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhao Youcai noticed that there was something wrong with Zhao Jun's eyes, so he opened his mouth and asked why.
Zhao Jun first waved to Zhou Jianjun outside the window. After starting the car and leaving Zhou's house, Zhao Jun said to Zhao Youcai, "Look at you talking to my sister, calling me a big girl. But when you come to me, you act like a black-eyed wind, calling me a little calf, little calf."
Heiyanfeng is a Northeastern dialect, meaning enemy.
"Ha!" Zhao Youcai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, sneered and said, "Your elder sister is so filial."
"So what? My elder sister is more filial than me?" Zhao Jun glanced at Zhao Youcai, but did not wait for Zhao Youcai's answer.
At this time, Zhao Jun suddenly felt guilty, mainly because he remembered that in his previous life, his eldest sister and two younger sisters were indeed more filial to Zhao Youcai than he was.
"Ahem." Zhao Jun coughed lightly, then asked Zhao Youcai, "Dad, let's say, what if I don't obey you in the future, what will you do?"
When Zhao Jun said this, Zhao Youcai turned his head sharply, looked at him and said, "Why the hell are you not filial to me? What the hell have I done to let you down?"
"No, Dad." Zhao Jun smacked his lips and said, "Don't I say if?"
"What if?" Zhao Youcai blinked his eyes, reached out his hand and took out a cigarette box from his pocket. As he took out the cigarettes, he sighed and said, "What can I do? If you are not filial, I will go back to the old house with your mother. What else can I do?"
After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Zhao Jun asked again: "Dad, if I don't obey you, can my sister and my two younger sisters obey you and take care of you in your old age?"
"You are talking nonsense!" Zhao Youcai didn't even put the cigarette in his mouth, but cursed: "You are shameless, but my grandson still has dignity? I have a son, why should I let my daughter take care of me in my old age?"
After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Zhao Jun fell silent.
Zhao Jun’s previous life was Zhao Youcai. After Cui Yulan died, he lived alone in the old house.
At that time, there were many empty houses in the forest area. Zhao Chun said that she would rent a house for him in Yongsheng and let Zhao Youcai move there so that she could take care of him more conveniently, but Zhao Youcai refused to go no matter what.
Zhao Hong didn't want to live with the old lady, so she wanted to bring Zhao Youcai over to stay with her for two days, but Zhao Youcai refused.
Men are no match for women in terms of living. Even though Zhao Youcai can cook, he doesn't like it because he's old. He's even less willing to do the washing and cleaning.
But even so, he was unwilling to go to the girl.
The reason is that he has a son.
Before the family planning and one-child policy, it was a tradition for sons to take care of the elderly. If a man had a son but asked his daughter to take care of him in his old age, people would not laugh at the old man, but would laugh at his son.
Therefore, even if the son is not filial, the old man is afraid that his son will be criticized by others, so he would rather suffer hardship himself than go to his daughter's home to enjoy happiness.
"Dad, don't worry." Suddenly, Zhao Jun said, "I will definitely be filial to you and my mom."
"Really?" Zhao Youcai asked this question, and Zhao Jun felt uncomfortable.
"How could it be fake?" Zhao Jun rolled his eyes at Zhao Youcai and said, "Just wait and see how your son treats you in the future."
"No need for later." Zhao Youcai said to Zhao Jun: "You are at home today and let me go up the mountain. This is your filial piety to me."
Zhao Jun: "..."
"Hey?" Seeing that Zhao Jun didn't say anything, Zhao Youcai asked, "Is it okay?"
At this time, Zhao Jun had already driven the car out of the village. He raised his hand and pointed to the road ahead and asked Zhao Youcai, "Dad, can't we go this way?"
Zhao Youcai looked in the direction Zhao Jun pointed, and then realized. This place is near where the kid runs every day, how could he not know the way?
"I'm pretty!" Zhao Youcai scolded and hit Zhao Jun on the head.
"Hey? Dad! I'm driving, stop it." Zhao Jun said so, but Zhao Youcai threw his hand out the window and said, "Stop driving, stop."
"Dad, look, why are you still angry?" Zhao Jun saw this and hurried to comfort Zhao Youcai, but Zhao Youcai said, "Don't go forward, drive back."
"What are you doing?" Zhao Jun asked, "Aren't we going to Yongli?"
"What Yongli?" Zhao Youcai said, "We went to Chengguo last week, tell them!"
Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Zhao Jun subconsciously slammed on the brakes, causing Zhao Youcai to be knocked forward.
