The whole mountain is my hunting ground

The night wind blew, and as Zhao Youcai smoked, the cigarette butt suddenly became red.

Zhao Jun curled his lips slightly, how could he not understand what Zhao Youcai meant?

But thinking that Zhao Youcai had been working hard recently, helping his family feed pigs and collect mountain products, Zhao Jun said: "Dad, well... I will go to the city the day after tomorrow, and I will buy you a few more cigarettes, enough for you to smoke during the New Year."

Zhao Youcai's smoking fee is because there are many people in his family. For those who come to sell mountain products, if they are acquaintances, Zhao Youcai will give them a grape; if they are not acquaintances, Zhao Youcai will give them leaf tobacco.

Mainly Wang Qiang and his family, except for Zhao Jun and Li Ruhai, even Li Baoyu and Jie Chen smoke, and Zhao Youcai can't not give them any.

So, Zhao Youcai can only smoke for a day at most after opening a pack of cigarettes.

"The day after tomorrow?" Zhao Youcai was startled when he heard that, and said, "The day after tomorrow is the Little New Year, what are you going to do?"

Just as Zhao Jun was about to speak, he heard Zhao Youcai say, "I don't need you to buy anything, don't go out."

"Huh?" Zhao Jun was stunned. When he was wondering why Zhao Youcai didn't even ask for money, Zhao Youcai continued, "You spend money as soon as you come to the city. You can't spend money like that even if you have money at home."

Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Zhao Jun couldn't help but smile. His father is a careful person, unlike the mother and daughter who spend money lavishly. In order to prevent him from going down the mountain to shop, his father even gave up cigarettes.

"Dad, I'm going to the city with my brother-in-law the day after tomorrow." Zhao Jun said to Zhao Youcai, "Didn't you say you'd send a roe deer to Director Chu? If you don't send it, after the 24th, we'll have to kill pigs every day, so how can we have time?"

"Ah..." Zhao Youcai blinked his eyes after hearing what Zhao Jun said, and then said, "Okay, then you can go out, but don't buy everything. We have almost everything we need for the New Year, so we can buy anything we need at the store. Don't be like your mother, who buys everything that's good and expensive, and how can we live like this? Is that the case?"

"Yes, yes, I'll buy you a few cigarettes, and we have other things at home." In order to prevent Zhao Youcai from nagging, Zhao Jun quickly changed the subject and said, "Dad, should I buy you Hongtashan? Or Shilin?"

"Hmm?" Zhao Youcai paused slightly, then asked, "How much is Hongtashan? Four dollars and fifty cents?"

These days, people around the forest don't know much about Hongtashan. The convenience stores and forestry stores don't sell this cigarette. Everyone knows Shilin more.

But the cadres above the middle level in the forestry farm who have some knowledge know Hongtashan.

"It won't cost 4.5 yuan." Zhao Jun said, "It seems that the retail price down the mountain is 4.3 yuan or 4.4 yuan. If you buy it in strips... one strip is cheaper than a box."

"Ah... then you..." Zhao Youcai hesitated for a moment and said, "Buy me Shilin."

"That's fine." Zhao Jun agreed very straightforwardly and said, "Shilin is sold in strips at the supply and marketing cooperative down the mountain. It's cheaper than here. I'm risking it this time and buying you ten strips, enough for you to smoke for a while."

"Okay." Zhao Youcai agreed straightforwardly and said, "Buy ten strips of Shilin, and then buy me two strips of Hongtashan?"

"What?" Zhao Jun didn't react for a while, only to see Zhao Youcai take another puff of cigarette and said, "Just mix them together."

Zhao Jun pulled the corner of his mouth and lowered his head to hurry on his way.

Seeing that Zhao Jun didn't speak, Zhao Youcai thought for a while and said, "For wine, you can just buy Xifeng."

"Why did I say I bought you wine the other day?" Zhao Jun blurted out his question.

"Then you have to have wine for a treat?" Zhao Youcai said so, and Zhao Jun said, "Isn't the corn wine from my uncle Wang's house good? And the time when Director Chu came over, he brought you the Shanhebai, isn't there a bottle left?"

What kind of person is this? Just now he said that Wang Meilan was just living a good life, and now he is drinking Shilin cigarettes and Xifeng wine.

When Zhao Youcai heard what Zhao Jun said, he turned his head and glanced at him, but didn't say anything else.

Because the old Ma family was in front.

Entering the yard and in front of the house, Zhao Youcai raised his hand and patted the door twice, and then pulled the door open.

Zhao Youcai was not impolite, on the contrary, it was considered polite. There are not so many rules in the countryside. Generally, people don't knock on the door when they come in, they just pull the door open.

At this time, normal people should have finished their meals, and Wang Cuihua and Ma Ling should be cleaning up in the outer room.

But when Zhao Youcai opened the door, he saw that there was no one in the outer room, and there were still curses coming from the inner room.

Zhao Jun saw this and hurriedly tried to pull Zhao Youcai's arm, meaning that it was inconvenient for him, so let's go first.

But when he grabbed Zhao Youcai's arm, he heard Zhao Youcai shouting: "In-laws? Are you home?"

Zhao Jun curled his lips and loosened his hand on Zhao Youcai's arm. When Zhao Youcai shouted, the curses in the inner room stopped abruptly.

Then Ma Dafu walked out of the west room quickly, followed by Wang Cuihua and Ma Ling.

Seeing this, Zhao Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing them coming out of the west room, it means that it was not Ma Dafu and his wife fighting, but Ma Yang who got into trouble again.

"Oh, in-laws! Come in, come in." Seeing Zhao Youcai standing at the door, Ma Dafu's face was full of joy. If he was not too close to the door, he would have to run a few steps.

When they arrived at the door, Ma Dafu saw Zhao Jun who was blocked outside by Zhao Youcai. His smile became even bigger and he said, "Xiaojun is here too. Come in. What are you looking at?"

Since Zhao Jun appeared on TV, Ma Dafu and his wife have always been curious about him.

This has nothing to do with the Zhao family's conditions. In the Northeast, "benevolence and righteousness" is a high compliment to a person.

The folk customs are simple these days, and there are good people and good deeds in every village. But as soon as Shanhe TV's "Evening News" was broadcast that day, Zhao Jun became recognized as the most benevolent and righteous person in Yongan.

Even if he is a very vicious person, if you ask him to choose someone to be his friend, he will still be willing to choose a person who is kind and righteous.

The Ma family is a serious family, let alone that.

The son-in-law's benevolence and righteousness satisfy Ma Dafu and his wife more than their son-in-law's wealth.

"In-laws, come in quickly." Wang Cuihua, who came with Ma Dafu, didn't ask Zhao Youcai and Zhao Jun whether they had eaten or not, and said directly: "Go sit on the kang. After I finish cooking, you and your brother Ma have something to drink." ”

Ma's pot station was neatly tidied up, and it looked like they had finished dinner. But Wang Cuihua definitely meant it sincerely when she said she wanted to cook.

"Stop working so hard, mother-in-law." Zhao Youcai smiled and said, "I came here after dinner."

"Then make some water." After Ma Dafu directed Wang Cuihua, he also ordered: "My dear, go outside and give your uncle some hair to eat."

The thing I eat is melon seeds. Plastic bags are rare in forest areas these days, and fried melon seeds will become damp if left in the house overnight.

Therefore, fried melon seeds are always placed outside, where there is no moisture at 20 to 30 degrees below zero. When it's time to eat, go outside and grab a couple of handfuls.

The Ma family's melon seeds were bought by Zhao Jun when he took Ma Ling into the city. Zhao Jun also bought it at that time, but he ate it within a few days after taking it home.

As for the Ma family's peanuts, melon seeds, and candies, except for Ma Dafu's grandson, only Zhao Jun had eaten them once when he was a guest.

The two women got busy, and Ma Dafu called Zhao Youcai and Zhao Jun into the house.

Ma Dafu put Zhao Youcai and Zhao Jun in front of him, and he quickly walked to the door of the west room and said, "Your uncle and your brother Zhao Jun are here. Don't you know why you should come out and say something?"

After saying this, Ma Dafu lowered his voice to a very low level, pointed at Ma Yang and said, "You're so pretty, you'll be so happy!"

Ma Yang hurriedly went to the ground, went to the east room and bowed to Zhao Youcai, who was sitting on the kang, nodded, and said, "Uncle Zhao."

Then, he called Zhao Jun and said: "Brother Jun."

"What's wrong with the child?" Although Ma Yang didn't look like he was crying, his submissive look, and the fact that Ma Dafu and his wife were scolding each other in the West Room before, Zhao Youcai had to ask Ma Dafu at the door, otherwise Ma Dafu would explain None of them.

"His sister caught him smoking." As soon as Ma Dafu said this, Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai were stunned. The father and son looked at Ma Yang in unison.

At this time, Ma Yang was a little embarrassed. He stepped back and almost bumped into Wang Cuihua who came in with water.

"This kid!" Wang Cuihua glared at Ma Yang, and then sent two water glasses to Zhao Youcai and Zhao Jun.

"Drink water, please. It's warm." Wang Cuihua said to Zhao Youcai with a smile, and then said to Zhao Jun: "Jun, drink water."

"Yes, ma'am." Zhao Jun responded with a smile and reached out to take the cup in his hand.

Please...you...collect_6_9_书_Bar (Six//Nine//Books//Bar)

At this time, Ma Ling came in with a small basket made of wicker sticks. The basket was larger than the plate, and it contained melon seeds, peanuts and naughty things.

Wang Cuihua took the small basket, turned around and put it on the Kang table. After inviting Zhao Youcai to eat melon seeds and peanuts, Wang Cuihua reached out and picked out two pieces of candy from the small basket and stuffed them into Zhao Jun's hands.

When she turned back, Wang Cuihua saw Ma Dafu rummaging through something in the drawer and said, "If you're not with your in-laws, what are you rummaging over there?"

"I'll get a box of cigarettes for my in-laws." Ma Dafu closed the drawer as he spoke, and when he turned around, he held two boxes of Shilin cigarettes in his hand.

"In-laws." Ma Dafu put a box of stone forest next to Zhao Youcai's hand and said, "Take this back for you to smoke."

With that said, Ma Dafu opened the remaining box of Shilin cigarettes in his hand, then took out two cigarettes and handed one to Zhao Youcai first.

Seeing this, Wang Cuihua smiled and said to Zhao Youcai: "That day, my third uncle came and brought him these two boxes of cigarettes. He said he didn't smoke anything and was just waiting for you to come."

"Hahaha..." Zhao Youcai smiled, lit the cigarette with the fire Ma Dafu handed him, then looked at Ma Yang and said with a smile, "What are you smoking? Your dad has good cigarettes."

Ma Yang, who lowered his head, looked up at Zhao Youcai and grinned.

This kid is not smart, but he has been beaten a lot and has a lot of experience. He knew that when Zhao Youcai said this, his parents would scold him as Zhao Youcai said, and the matter would be over.

After listening to Zhao Youcai's words, Wang Cuihua reached out and pinched Ma Yang's arm.

After Ma Dafu got on the kang and sat down, he said to Zhao Youcai: "This guy is also a good smoker."

"Ah?" Zhao Youcai was startled, then looked at Ma Yang and asked with a smile, "What are you smoking?"

At this time, Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai, and Ma Dafu were sitting on the kang, while Ma Ling, Wang Cuihua, and Ma Yang were sitting on stools under the kang.

When asked by Zhao Youcai, Ma Yang said nothing, while Ma Ling, who was sitting next to him, whispered: "It's good to welcome the spring."

"Ouch." Zhao Youcai clicked his eyes, turned to look at Ma Dafu and said, "Who gave it to our child?"

In any case, Zhao Youcai found a place for Ma Yang to step down first. If the child stole the family's money, it would be difficult to tell him in front of himself and Zhao Jun.

Ma Dafu is not stupid. Since he mentioned this matter in front of Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai, there is a reason.

Ma Dafu took a puff of his cigarette, then leaned his head towards Zhao Youcai and said, "Li Ruhai gave it to him."

If this happens thirty or forty years from now, let alone smoking, parents will find it easy for their children to eat other people's food.

But in this day and age, there is no blackmail in war. Although the cigarettes that Ma Yang smoked were given by Li Ruhai, Ma Dafu and his wife still put most of the blame on their own children.

As for Li Ruhai, Ma Dafu and his wife did not want to go to the Li family to complain. They just wanted to wait until tomorrow morning when they met Li Dayong on the commuter bus on the way to work. Ma Dafu would just talk to Li Dayong and leave it at that.

"Ah?" Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai were both stunned when Ma Dafu said this.

"Does Ruhai still smoke?" Zhao Youcai looked at Zhao Jun, and Zhao Jun shook his head and said, "I don't know."

That day, Li Ruhai bought cigarettes at the Little Redwood Forest Farm, but he didn't smoke in front of Zhao Jun. Zhang Yuanmin saw it, but because he was afraid of Li Ruhai's revenge, he didn't dare to tell Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu.

"Smoking." Ma Dafu took over the conversation and said, "My Ma Yang said that Li Ruhai started smoking since he couldn't read."

"Really?" Zhao Youcai looked at Ma Yang and saw Ma Yang nodded heavily.

"Oh!" Zhao Youcai's eyes turned and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Seeing this, Zhao Jun beside him hurriedly pulled Zhao Youcai's cotton jacket under the table.

At this time, Wang Cuihua said, "That child is in the store every day. It must be brought to him by those second-rate people."

Hearing Wang Cuihua's words, Zhao Youcai did not comment. After extinguishing the cigarette butt, Zhao Youcai said to Ma Dafu and Wang Cuihua, "My dear relatives, my family will kill a pig on the 24th. I came here to tell you that you can eat pork at my house that day."

If it were normal, Zhao Youcai would invite Ma Dafu to his house for dinner, and Ma Dafu would definitely refuse. But for things like killing a pig and inviting guests, people come to invite them, so there is no need to be polite.

"Okay." Ma Dafu responded, "I and your mother-in-law will go earlier that day, and we can help you with some work after that."

"That's great." Similarly, when the Ma family wanted to help, Zhao Youcai didn't need to refuse, and immediately smiled and said, "Then you come earlier, and call my daughter's brother and sister-in-law after that."

"Hey, hey, okay." Ma Dafu responded repeatedly, and at this time Zhao Youcai stood up and said, "Then my dear, we will go back."

"Sit for a while, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Ma Dafu heard this and hurriedly tried to keep you.

Wang Cuihua also said, "Sit for a while, my dear, and eat some melon seeds."

"No more, my dear mother." Zhao Youcai responded, and then said to Ma Yang, "Boy, you can't smoke anymore, you are too young."

"Did you hear that? Your uncle told you!" Wang Cuihua pulled Ma Yang's head back, and Ma Yang knew that the matter was over, so he quickly said, "I heard it."

Zhao Youcai smiled and walked out of the house.

Ma Dafu and Wang Cuihua followed closely to see Zhao Youcai off, while Zhao Jun, Ma Ling, and Ma Yang walked behind.

After leaving the house, Zhao Jun turned around and stuffed the two small pieces of naughty cakes that Wang Cuihua had given him and had been holding in his hand into Ma Ling's hands.

Ma Ling's two big eyes smiled into crescents, and this scene made Ma Yang next to her curl his lips.
