Siheyuan: I am the seventh uncle of Banggen

"Are we eating lamb?" Zhang Cuihua said in a low voice.

"Why do you care so much? You'll know when the time comes. By the way, did you get your waistcoat back? Banggeng remembers it." Zhang Dabao suddenly thought of the waistcoat he had been making for a long time.

"I forgot. I'll go now." Zhang Cuihua gave instructions to her daughter-in-law and ran out of the door.

He Yuzhu did not come to help today because he was working overtime at the steel rolling mill. There were a dozen yellow sheep that needed to be cleaned up, especially the sheep offal, which was very troublesome to clean up.

After dinner, Zhang Dabao wanted to take a break and see what was written on the two pieces of paper, but Zhang Cuihua came wearing a leather vest. She didn't take it off during dinner tonight and she was sweating profusely while eating, which made Zhang Lianhua laugh so hard.

"Sister, it's already the middle of April, and the temperature outside is over 20 degrees. People in good health are wearing short sleeves, but you are wearing a leather vest. Don't you feel hot?" Zhang Dabao was speechless. She even said that Jia Dongxu couldn't hide dry food in a doghouse. I can see that you are Jia Dongxu's mother. What's the difference between you and Jia Dongxu?

"Da Biao, it's warm now. It's so comfortable," said Zhang Cuihua, wiping the sweat from her head.

"How can it not be warm? It has skin and fur, so it may not be comfortable. It's so hot now, go home and take it off and wear it in winter" Zhang Dabao laughed angrily.

"Mom, you are so annoying. You can't just put away some things. Is it appropriate to wear leather jackets on this day? Listen to my seventh uncle and change them at home." Jia Dongxu also talked about his mother.

"This was made for me by Da Biao. What does it have to do with you? I have been married to your Jia family for so many years. I have worked like a slave every day. Have I ever gotten a decent piece of clothing? I was so lucky back then. I raised you with so much effort..." Zhang Cuihua started again, and Jia Dongxu was speechless.

"Grandma, I told you that my dad doesn't care about hygiene. When he was a kid, he was in shit and urine every day. It was too dirty. I never do that. The teacher always praises me for being clean," said Bang Geng.

Hearing Banggeng's words, Zhang Dabao sprayed out the tea in his mouth and thought to himself, Jia Geng, you are such a good boy.

"Need I say more? Your father just doesn't care about hygiene. Banggeng is so clean." Zhang Cuihua changed the subject after being scolded by Banggeng, but she still didn't go home to change the leather vest and continued to wear it.

Zhang Cuihua sat in the backyard for a while, then went to the front yard and shared her sheepskin waistcoat with the women in Yard 95. She said it was so warm and comfortable, and pointed to the sweat on her head as proof.

"Zhang Cuihua is too good at showing off," said Yang Ruihua.

"Isn't it? It's so hot now. Aunt Jia is sweating profusely, but she insists that she is comfortable," said the Niu family's wife.

"It's the middle of April, and the locust flowers are about to bloom. You're still wearing a leather vest. You really have no sense at all," said the Guo family's wife.

"Mom, if I had a leather vest, I wouldn't feel hot in it," Yan Jiedi said to her mother.

"Oh..." The women all sighed and thought, kid, I think the same as you do. If you can't eat the grapes, you will say they are sour.

Zhang Dabao closed the door and opened the two pieces of paper. One of them was a letter written to Jin Jing'e. When his girlfriend passed away, he told her that if she needed to leave, she should not take anything with her, but just take this small box and go back to her hometown.

The other one is a picture, which seems to show that something is hidden somewhere in the mountains that can help the Yang family make a comeback. It turns out that the deaf old lady’s husband’s surname is Yang, and his hometown is Zhangjiakou, Hebei, a village called Yangjialing at the foot of Xiao Wutai Mountain.

The deaf old lady did not touch the small box because her life was still pretty good. Maybe in the end she even forgot the existence of the box.

What is that thing? It's too far from the capital, I'll go take a look when I get a chance. Zhang Dabiao put the picture into his space and went to sleep.

Today is Friday. Zhang Dabao was awakened by the children's laughter. After getting up, he saw Guo Xiaobao, Jia Jingshu and Guo Xiaobao's mother flying a kite in the backyard. In an instant, Zhang Dabao thought of many words: green willows, red flowers, singing orioles and dancing swallows, and a hundred flowers in full bloom...

spring is coming!

Let's go out for a walk. It's boring to go out alone. Let's go and see if Teacher Wen has time. Zhang Dabao came to the courtyard in Ma Si Hutong. The gate was locked and the soil in front of the gate was very thick. It seemed that Wen Li had not lived here for a long time and should have reconciled with her parents.

Zhang Dabao came to Mashi Hutong again and looked at his watch. It was 7:20 in the morning, so Wen Li should not have gone out yet.

At 7:30, Wenli came out on a bicycle. Zhang Dabao honked the horn and Wenli got off and walked over.

"Da Biao, you're back from the countryside." Wen Li had a big smile on her face and seemed to be in a good mood.

"You came back yesterday. Do you have classes today?" Zhang Dabao asked her.

"I don't have any classes. Now that I'm divorced, the school thinks my reputation is bad and won't let me attend classes. They asked me to help in the cafeteria instead." Wen Li showed a trace of embarrassment on her face.

"Please take a day off, we will go out and take a look, and then come back to work to see if we can replace you," said Zhang Dabao.

"Okay, you wait for me at school for a day and a half. My eldest sister and I have agreed to take Yanni and her children to the zoo on Sunday," said Wen Li.

"That day, I prepared some things and camped outside," Zhang Dabao said and started the motorcycle.

When Wenli heard about camping, she was very happy. She had never camped before, but had only heard about it in novels. Wenli was very willing to try new things.

Wenli rode her bike very fast. When she arrived at school, she made up a random excuse to ask for leave and then walked out of the school gate.

Wen Li waited for about five minutes, and Zhang Dabao's motorcycle arrived.

Chapter 111 Spring Outing with Beauty

Zhang Dabao rode the motorcycle northward, his destination being the mountainous area thirty kilometers away, where there were mountains, water and picturesque scenery. However, no one would go there because it was a mountain road and it was very exhausting. People nowadays could not even get enough food, and they had no habit of hiking or outings.

After two hours' journey, they arrived at their destination at around ten o'clock in the morning. There were green mountains and clear waters, and birdsong and flowers blooming everywhere. Wen Li fell in love with it at first sight and kept taking pictures with her camera.

While Wen Li was taking pictures, Zhang Dabao set up the tent, which was built against the mountain. He took out a machete and cut down a few trees. The branches were used to make a fence to surround the tent. He also made a fence door and dug an earthen stove inside the fence. He first brought a bucket of water over. Zhang Dabao boiled water in a kettle, then came to the pond with his fishing gear, made a nest first, and then caught a few fish.

"Sister Wen, eat first." Zhang Dabao had prepared the meal, but Wen Li was still walking around with great interest.

"Dabao, it's so beautiful here." Wen Li heard Zhang Dabao calling her, and then she reluctantly returned to the camp.

"How is it? Is it okay to use it as a temporary home?" Zhang Dabao asked Wen Li.

"That's absolutely perfect. It fits in with the surroundings. If you're going to live here for a long time, you can just build a wooden house," Wen Li said.

"When you want to live here, I'll build you a wooden house. Now wash your hands and eat." Zhang Dabao brought up the cooked fish and baked buns.

"How about we go up the mountain to hunt some game in the afternoon?" Zhang Dabao asked Wen Li.

"Hunting, I want to hunt too" Wen Li became even more excited.

"I've prepared the bow and arrow for you. We'll go up the mountain after dinner," said Zhang Dabao, scratching Wen Li's nose.

Wen Li quickened her eating pace and finished in a short while. She urged Zhang Dabao to eat faster so that they could go up the mountain earlier.

Zhang Dabao took a quick bite, and then the two of them picked up their bows and arrows, carried their water bottles, and set off to the top of the mountain.

The scenery on the mountain is different from that at the foot of the mountain. The flowers here are still buds and have not bloomed. The two did not find any prey along the way, but they found a lot of wild onions and wild leeks. They dug some and continued to move forward. When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, Zhang Dabao heard the call of pheasants and signaled Wen Li to speak more quietly.

Zhang Dabao drew his bow and shot an arrow, and a pheasant fell to the ground. Zhang Dabao went over and picked it up.

"Da Biao, you hit it before I even saw it?" Wen Li asked.

"I am an experienced old hunter, and you are an apprentice and you still need practice," said Zhang Dabao.

"Then how can I learn it?" Wen Li asked again.

"If you want to learn, you must sleep with the master. You must sleep comfortably with me first," said Zhang Dabao with a smile.

"You're so annoying." Wen Li blushed.

There were a lot more prey halfway up the mountain. Zhang Dabao shot two more pheasants, and Wen Li also found a pheasant, but she didn't hit it either. But after all, it was the first time she shot an arrow in her life, so she was very excited.

We have reached the top of the mountain.

I will climb to the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains. The ancients summed it up very well. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking into the distance, everything seems so small, and the whole person feels relaxed and happy.

"Sister Wen, how about we shout out loud? Shout out the sorrow in our hearts and welcome a better life tomorrow," Zhang Dabia suggested.

"Okay, ah..." Wen Li shouted loudly.

Zhang Dabao also shouted in agreement.

After shouting, Wen Li felt refreshed and said, "Dabao, thank you," and threw herself into Zhang Dabao's arms.

"Sister Wen, look, there is a wild boar there." Following Zhang Dabao's finger, Wen Li saw wild boars, but not just one, but a group.

"There are so many. Let me help you," Wen Li said.

"No, it's no joke when they charge at us. Let's ambush them on the tree in front of us. I'll pull you up to the tree and we'll attack from there. If we stay below we won't be able to withstand it," said Zhang Dabao.

Zhang Dabao took Wen Li's hand, and the two of them went around the top of the mountain to the front of the wild boar herd and ambushed on a tree.

In order to prevent Wen Li from falling down due to nervousness, Zhang Dabao tied her waist to the tree trunk together. Wen Li also nervously drew out her bow and arrow and prepared herself.

"Here it comes," Zhang Dabao said in a low voice.

The two men had their bows and arrows ready. A wild boar passed under the tree and they shot their arrows at the same time. Coincidentally, they both hit their targets. Zhang Dabao shot a boar weighing 160 to 170 kilograms, and Wen Li shot a boar weighing 130 to 140 kilograms.

"Da Biao, I hit it!" Wen Li jumped up excitedly. If she hadn't been tied to the tree trunk, it might have been an accident.

"Be careful, wait a little longer. Wait until they run far away and the wild boars that were shot are dead, then we can go down." Zhang Dabao pulled Wen Li.

After waiting for another five or six minutes, they could no longer hear the wild boars, so they climbed down from the tree. Zhang Dabiao made a cart out of branches, put the two wild boars on it, and pulled them to the pond below the camp.

"Let's process it. It won't taste good if it's left overnight. How about making it into smoked meat? It can be kept longer." Zhang Dabao asked Wen Li.

"I don't want to..." Wen Li wanted to refuse.

"You can't refuse it. Whoever kills it gets it. Go pick up some branches with leaves on them, more." Zhang Dabao said and started to deal with the wild boar.

A small stone shed was built for smoking meat, and the meat was smoked before dark. Thick branches were used to protect the surrounding area to prevent wild animals from stealing the meat at night.

Night finally came. In fact, the spring breeze was still a little cold at this time, but the hearts of both of them were warm.

The mountain is quiet, with the occasional sound of birds chirping, which makes the mountain even quieter. However, the noise in the tent is very loud. It’s good to be in the wild. You can shout loudly without worrying about being heard. The breath of spring is very strong.

They had so much fun that night that Zhang Dabao and Wen Li got up a little late.

"Get up, the sun is shining on your butt." Zhang Dabao patted Wen Li's butt, which was very elastic.

Wen Li opened her sleepy eyes and saw that the sun was already high in the sky. "What time is it, Dabiao?"

"It's ten o'clock. Get up and wash up. We won't go hunting today. Let's go to the hillside to see the scenery over there. When we are tired, we can build a small grass hut and read books and drink water inside, isn't that nice?" said Zhang Dabia.

"Okay," Wen Li agreed of course. Today's breakfast was very greasy, so they ate it together with lunch. They ate the pheasant they had shot last night, and Zhang Dabao made it into beggar's chicken. They each had one. After eating, they took their machetes and shovels, put on their schoolbags, and lay down on the hillside.

"When the sun came out, I climbed the hillside. When I reached the top, I wanted to sing. I wanted my sister to listen to my singing. When she heard the singing, she laughed..." When Zhang Dabao reached the hillside, he sang a song.

"Da Biao, it sounds quite nice. I have never heard it before," Wen Li said excitedly.

"Sister Wen, I am a treasure boy, you have to be good at digging," Zhang Dabao said with a smile.

"You think about that every day, so I won't talk to you anymore." Wen Li blushed and ran to the side, picking wild flowers, and occasionally shouted, "It's so nice."

Chapter 112 The Children Want to Help

Zhang Dabao and Wen Li were on the mountain looking at the scenery until the afternoon, and they became each other's scenery.

Look at Jinsong in the dusky sky, and still calmly fly across the chaotic clouds.

Born to be a fairy cave, infinite scenery is in the dangerous peak.

Since they planned to go back today, the two had fun again on the mountain at noon, and as a result, Zhang Dabao carried Wen Li back to the camp.

After he had packed up his things, he took the smoked meat, pig heads and other internal organs with him. Wen Li didn't see what Zhang Dabao was doing, but of course she didn't care about it. Zhang Dabao put them all in the space.
