The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

Chapter 450 Li Ruhai: Chatting for a while

The three little girls threw themselves in front of their respective mothers. Wang Meilan touched a little head with one hand, but she didn't have time to comfort the two little ones. She just asked Li Dayong, "Where's your elder brother?"

At this time, Li Dayong had put down his chopsticks and hair cakes, got down from the kang, frowned and said to Wang Meilan, "My elder brother... went to the siege."

As soon as these words came out, Li Dayong saw Wang Meilan's cheeks twitched and her cheeks twitched.

If it wasn't for the presence of Jie Chen, Wang Meilan would have scolded her.

At this moment, Jin Xiaomei pushed Li Xiaoqiao who was hugging her thigh, and said, "Old girl, why are you crying?"

That's right, Zhao Hong and Zhao Na were crying because their father had nothing to do and left their daughter to go hunting.

But why are you crying, Li Xiaoqiao?Your mother is not at home, so why not your father?

Li Xiaoqiao wiped her tears with one hand, pointed to the Kang table behind her with the other, and said, "It's too unpalatable."

Hearing this, Jin Xiaomei dragged Li Xiaoqiao to the kang table, and saw that where Li Dayong was sitting just now, there were only two pieces of cakes and a pickled cucumber.

In front of the three little girls, there are vegetables, but the bowl is filled with a spoonful of solids. The thing is yellow or not, or white or white. With honeycomb eyes.

Jin Xiaomei took Li Xiaoqiao with one hand, and handed the bowl to Li Dayong with the other, turning the bowl's heart towards Li Dayong, and asked, "What are you doing for the child?"

Although he made it himself, Li Dayong subconsciously glanced into the bowl, then raised his head and replied, "Isn't this egg cake?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Meilan stepped forward to look curiously, and said with a smile, "Dayong, did you steam the chicken cake without water?"

"Yeah?" Li Dayong was stunned, and asked, "Do you still have to put water?"

Men in Northeast China these days, apart from cooks, rarely know how to cook. Whether a dumpling can be cooked is a problem.

Therefore, Jin Xiaomei didn't dare to ask Li Dayong to cook even if she hid her private money and was undergoing labor reform. At most, she asked him to help wash rice and wash vegetables.

"Ah!" Jin Xiaomei pulled Li Xiaoqiao to the Kang table, sighed and shook her head, "How many eggs are you steaming? The child doesn't seem to have eaten it yet."

"My dad steamed six eggs." At this time, Li Xiaoqiao said crisply: "I gave me three spoonfuls, Zhao Hong four spoonfuls, and Xiaona four spoonfuls. not go down."

"Brother!" Wang Meilan was at the side, listening to Li Xiaoqiao say that Li Dayong shared chicken cakes for the three of them, Zhao Hong and Zhao Na, more than Li Xiaoqiao. Make complaints.

So, Wang Meilan said, "You don't put salt when stirring the eggs, and you have to pour some soy sauce after steaming them."

"No!" As soon as Wang Meilan finished speaking, Jin Xiaomei asked Li Dayong again, saying, "Our eggs, the other day when Baoyu's uncle came, didn't they all be fried? Where did you get six eggs?"

At this time, Jin Xiaomei thought that these eggs belonged to Zhao Jun's family and were left by Zhao Youcai for the children before he left.That's why he asked Li Dayong to answer in a questioning tone, so that he could intercede with Zhao Youcai from the side.

But Li Dayong said: "Zhao Jun's aunt gave it to me."

"Ah?" Wang Meilan was startled when she heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "What is his aunt doing here?"

"Let's look for his uncle." Li Dayong said: "My eldest brother was taken away by Wang Qiang early in the morning, Wang Qiang was not home that day, so his wife was looking all over the place.

Later, I heard from Mrs. Han that Wang Qiang asked my elder brother to call him away, so she came to your house.Seeing that there is no one in your house, you came to my house again.

Hearing that his uncle and the others went to play siege, his aunt asked me what to feed the child at night, and I said pickle sticks for the fat cake, and his aunt asked me what I would do, and I said I would steam egg cakes. "

Li Dayong's words made Wang Meilan's cheeks puff up again. Seeing that things were not going well, Jin Xiaomei quickly smoothed things over and joked with Li Dayong, "You still said you can steam chicken cakes. You're blind. Let Zhao Ling get it for you." Those six eggs."

Li Dayong chuckled and said, "I don't know, you need to put water in to steam this thing."

Seeing Li Dayong's straightforward appearance, everyone laughed, but there was no joke in it, because it's normal for old men these days not to know how to cook.

"You." Jin Xiaomei glanced at the cake thrown by Li Dayong on the table, and said with a smile, "You steamed the chicken cake, don't you say you want to tēng the cake?"

"Ah, I forgot, ha ha." Li Dayong laughed and said, "I'm only busy steaming chicken cakes, but I forgot steaming cakes."

Hearing what Li Dayong said, everyone laughed again, and Wang Meilan couldn't hold back her laughter, and most of her anger disappeared.

At this time, Jin Xiaomei looked at the steamed corn flour cake on the table, and thought that her family hadn't steamed cakes in the past few days, so Zhao Youcai must have steamed them for the child.

Thinking of this, Jin Xiaomei wanted to help Zhao Youcai put some powder on his face, so as to save Wang Meilan from getting too angry.

Therefore, Jin Xiaomei said to Li Dayong: "Is this hair cake brought to you by my elder brother? It looks good after steaming. Look, there are still beans on it."

"No!" But to Jin Xiaomei's surprise, Li Dayong shook his head and said, "This is given to Shunzi's wife."

Jin Xiaomei froze for a moment, and asked subconsciously, "Shunzi's wife?"

"Ah!" Li Dayong said: "Shunzi went with my eldest brother. Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Shunzi's daughter-in-law came over to see if they came back. Seeing that I brought the three children home, I knew I couldn't cook, so I went back. Later, he sent me a few more cakes."

This time, when Wang Meilan got angry again, Jin Xiaomei didn't say anything.What kind of father is this?People like myself have to go to Lingnan on Sunday, just thinking that Li Dayong can't cook, and he, Zhao Youcai, a chef, can cook something for his four children at home.

Unexpectedly, he waited for others to drive away, and he, Zhao Youcai, also drove away on the back.

As a result, all these people who went to see a doctor or shop across provinces came back, and he, Zhao Youcai, hasn't come back yet.

Now think about it, don't look at the bad food on the table, but without Wang Qiang's wife and Lin Xiangshun's wife, the three children and Li Dayong, they wouldn't even be able to eat this bite.

Jin Xiaomei also felt sorry for the child, raised her hand and gave Li Dayong a slight push, and said in a low voice, "You won't go out to buy something to eat?"

"I don't have any money either." Li Dayong replied without thinking. He listened to Zhao Youcai in everything. The cunning Zhao Youcai hid money in a cunning rabbit hole. Li Dayong naturally had some private money, but he couldn't reveal it.

Otherwise, it would be a disaster if Jin Xiaomei thought about it later and asked again.

"You..." Jin Xiaomei was speechless, tilted her head to look at Li Dayong, and said angrily, "You won't go to Lao Wang's house to get a few boxes of canned food first, and we'll give him money later?"

"Our family has never paid any bills!" Li Dayong said confidently.

"Brother!" Seeing that the two couples were quarreling, Wang Meilan quickly helped to change the subject, and she was also concerned about her two daughters, so she asked Li Dayong, "What did you have for lunch?"

"It's noon." Li Dayong said, "Xiaomei stewed the rice in the morning, and I picked up two pieces of tofu, and we ate the tofu with sauce."

"Ah." Wang Meilan nodded slightly upon hearing this.It's kind of silly, but it's always swallowable.

"Hey!" At this time, Jin Xiaomei sighed, and then said to Wang Meilan: "Okay, sister-in-law, you don't have a fire in your house. Just leave it at my house and bring in the dried noodles we bought, cook some hot noodle soup, and have a bite." Got it."

"Row."

As soon as Wang Meilan responded, the minister stepped forward and called Li Dayong: "Uncle."

Then, Jie Chen turned to Jin Xiaomei, called his aunt, and asked, "Is there no one in your family?"

"Ah!" Jin Xiaomei reacted suddenly, stared at her, stepped forward and pushed Li Dayong hard, and shouted: "Where is Ruhai?"

Li Dayong was also a little dazed for a while, subconsciously looked left and right, and finally lowered his head and asked Li Xiaoqiao, "Where is your second brother?"

Li Xiaoqiao answered simply: "I don't know."

"Who are you asking?" Jin Xiaomei was anxious, went up and pushed Li Dayong again, and shouted, "When did the child leave?"

Li Dayong said: "Didn't he go out after dinner early in the morning?"

"Did you come back again?" Jin Xiaomei hurriedly asked.

Li Dayong recalled it carefully, then shook his head and said, "No."

When Jin Xiaomei heard the words, she became anxious in an instant, and shouted at Li Dayong: "The child hasn't been home all day, don't you know how to look for it?"

At this time Li Dayong was also in a hurry, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he replied: "I've only been busy with the little ones this day, so I just forgot about him!"

"Okay, okay!" At the time of the crisis, Wang Meilan stepped forward to take charge of the overall situation, and first persuaded the couple: "Stop quarreling, this matter is not bad for anyone, it's up to my family and your elder brother, you don't have a serious business all day.

That's enough, let's stop arguing, let's not eat, go out quickly, ask around, ask, see if the child has gone to someone's house. "

Although Wang Meilan said so, she didn't know what to do. It was past eight o'clock, where could Li Ruhai go?

But at this moment, Zhao Jun heard the Qinglong and Heilong in his courtyard calling. As soon as he turned around and walked out of the outhouse, he saw the door of Li's house being pulled open from the outside.

Immediately afterwards, Li Ruhai came in with a smile.

Li Ruhai didn't look like a lost child, his face was flushed, and he was holding a roe deer thigh in his hand, which weighed nearly ten catties.

Li Ruhai saw Zhao Jun and asked with a smile: "Brother Jun, you are back? Why do you buy so many things? It doesn't cost money?"

"This dead child." Jin Xiaomei in the room heard the movement, rushed out of the room in a few steps, grabbed Li Ruhai's collar, slapped Li Ruhai's shoulders twice with one hand, and cursed: "Where are you running this day?" went?"

Saying that, Jin Xiaomei saw the thigh of the roe deer in Li Ruhai's hand, and couldn't help changing her expression, and shouted: "Are you going up the mountain again?"

"Little bastard!" Li Dayong heard that, his left leg was below the knee, folded up, and he stretched out his hand to pull off the cloth shoe under his foot, and he was about to beat Li Ruhai.

"Hey, hey!" Seeing this, Li Ruhai hurriedly threw the roe deer's thighs to the ground, raised his hands as a sign of surrender, and shouted, "I didn't go up the mountain. My old brother Chen gave it to me."

"Old Brother Chen?" Jin Xiaomei was taken aback, then frowned and asked, "Which Old Brother Chen?"

"It's Chen Dalai." Li Ruhai said, "I forgot what his real name is."

When Li Ruhai said this, Zhao Jun, Wang Meilan, Li Dayong, Jin Xiaomei, and Li Baoyu were stunned. They called Chen Dalai, Chen Dalai every day, but no one knew what Chen Dalai's real name was. .

"Why did he give you the roe deer's thigh?" Li Baoyu asked, "Why did you come back at this time?"

Li Baoyu asked two questions in a row, but Li Ruhai smiled and said, "It's a long story."

Jin Xiaomei's expression changed, she pointed at Li Ruhai, and said, "Stop talking nonsense."

"Hey." Li Ruhai said: "In the afternoon, I'm at the door of the small shop, with those old women... no, I chatted with those aunts and aunts for a while, and caught up with old Mrs. Chen to get jealous, and even beat them Soy sauce and white wine, I will help her take them home.

I went to her house with my front foot, and her man dragged back two roe deer with my back foot. I helped them pick up the roe deer, but they insisted on letting me stay for dinner.Mom, don't tell me, my old sister-in-law Chen is quite interesting, and she weighed four dishes for me. "

"Second brother." At this time, Li Xiaoqiao pulled Li Ruhai's hand wrongedly, and said in a low voice, "How about four dishes for you tonight?"

"what!"

"Don't say it's useless?" Seeing this, Li Dayong hurriedly interrupted Li Ruhai, and shouted: "Four dishes, until this time?"

"Yeah." Li Ruhai replied with a smile: "After dinner, let's chat with his family for a while."

Once he heard Li Ruhai chattering, Li Dayong stopped asking, he knew his youngest son's abilities.If you want to start chatting, let alone eight o'clock tonight, even if you chat until eight o'clock tomorrow morning, that's fine.

"You!" Jin Xiaomei pointed at Li Ruhai and scolded: "You eat, just eat. What are you doing with his roe deer thighs? How difficult is his family? You still want his things."

"Auntie." At this time, Zhao Jun said to Jin Xiaomei: "It's okay, I've been going up the mountain for a walk these two days, and I want to hunt roe deer, so let's cut off both of Chen Dalai's thighs."

"No need!" As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, Li Ruhai waved his hand and said, "I didn't want his roe deer thighs for nothing. When I went to his house, I took a dozen pieces of trough cake and gave them to him. The child ate it."

"Second brother!" Li Xiaoqiao heard this, licked her lips, took Li Ruhai's hand, and said aggrievedly: "You still bought trough cakes?"

Seeing this, Li Dayong quickly pointed to Li Ruhai and asked, "Why are you buying trough cakes?"

"I didn't buy it!" Li Ruhai said, "My sister-in-law bought it for me."

"Your sister-in-law?" Li Baoyu became anxious when he heard this. The sister-in-law Li Ruhai mentioned was his fiancee Liu Mei.If the two get married, it's okay for the sister-in-law to buy some food for the uncle.

But now, is your old Li's family unable to eat or drink?Let the unmarried daughter-in-law buy food for the youngest son?

So, not to mention Li Baoyu, even Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei felt that their faces were dull.

But before they got angry, they heard Li Ruhai say: "Ah, as soon as I went out this morning, I saw my sister-in-law and Mrs. Liu going south to the land. When I asked, my sister-in-law said that today her mother and father are going to pick some corn." , I followed and helped them with their work all morning.

When I came back, I passed by a small shop and caught up with the trough cake, so many people bought it there, and my sister-in-law insisted on buying me two catties. "

When Li Ruhai said this, the expressions of the Li family members eased up. It was another matter for the future sister-in-law to work and the future sister-in-law to buy food for the uncle.

After Li Ruhai finished speaking, he glared at Li Baoyu, and said angrily, "Why did you stare at me just now? Didn't I do this work for you?"

"Yes, yes." Upon hearing this, Li Baoyu hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, put his arms around Li Ruhai's shoulders, and said, "Brother will buy you delicious food tomorrow."

Li Ruhai rolled his eyes at him, but didn't speak.At this time, Li Dayong asked Li Ruhai again: "Did you eat trough cake for lunch?"

"Yeah." Li Ruhai said: "My sister-in-law asked me to go to her house for dinner. I said I didn't go there, so I put the trough cake from the small shop and the boiled water that Aunt Wang poured for me. After eating, I put The small shop chatted with them from past twelve o'clock to past three or four o'clock."

"Oh my God." Jie Chen had just been here for a few days, and he didn't know what was going on. He was very surprised at first hearing it, and couldn't help asking Li Ruhai, "Brother, what have you been talking to them about? Son."

"Just chatting for a while." Li Ruhai said with a smile: "The sky is long and the east is long and the west is short."

"Long in the east and short in the west?" Xie Chen couldn't help being a little puzzled when he heard this.He understands what the world means, but he doesn't know what it means to be long in the east and short in the west.

At this time, Zhao Jun leaned on Jiechen's shoulder, tilted his head and said in a low voice, "It's the master of the east family, and the short of the west family."

Xie Chen was taken aback, and looked at Li Ruhai in surprise.If I remember correctly, this is still a child.

Suddenly, Li Baoyu remembered something, quickly let go of the arm holding Li Ruhai's shoulder, and asked him seriously: "Ruhai, when you broke corn with your sister-in-law and Mrs. Liu in the morning, you didn't talk nonsense, did you?"

"No!" Seeing that his elder brother was so wary of him, Li Ruhai rolled his eyes at Li Baoyu, and said displeasedly, "Let's chat for a while."

Li Baoyu: "..."

　Thank you brothers for giving me rewards and monthly tickets, thank you brothers.

　　Update at noon tomorrow!
