Chapter 4 Neighbor Zhao Da understands
The next morning, Zhang Peng slept until he woke up naturally.
When he got up from the kang, he only felt that his chest was still a little tight. It was probably because he was so nervous yesterday that he didn't feel anything. Now that he was relaxed, his stamina increased.
But I don’t think it’s serious, I think it’ll be fine after two days.
"Let's eat quickly." Wang Xiufen brought breakfast to Zhang Peng on the kang table. Compared with last night's three meat and one vegetarian meal, today's breakfast was much simpler, with the leftovers from last night and a salted duck egg.<
/p>
Just as Zhao Jun was digging salted eggs into the bowl, he heard Wang Xiufen say: "I've packed the wild boar meat. I'll deliver it to your eldest sister after dinner later."
"No need to wait for my dad?"
"No need." Wang Xiufen said, "When you go this time, don't forget to ask about your work."
"Okay, I understand." Zhang Peng responded, and he was very concerned about it. Because he knew that if nothing happens, in three or two months, the forest area will start to ask for people.
The person who can arrange a job for him is none other than his eldest brother-in-law’s uncle, who is also the accountant of the forestry farm.
In his previous life, he was injured and had no way to work, so he could only take advantage of other people in the forest area. There was no other way but they were all staring at this opportunity. There were more wolves and less meat.
After Zhang Peng had eaten, he went back to his house to rest for a while, put on his coat and trousers, said hello to Wang Xiufen, picked up the prepared wild boar meat and walked out.
As soon as he left the door, he saw his neighbor Zhao Chunming also coming out of the house. It seemed that he wanted to go to the hut in front of the yard. Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming grew up together and were neighbors. They had a good relationship since childhood.
Zhao Chunming also followed Zhang Peng's lead.
Zhang Peng also takes good care of Zhao Chunming. He usually takes him with him when fishing or shrimping, but yesterday he went up the mountain without calling him because it was dangerous.
Zhao Chunming saw Zhang Peng walking out with a bag and shouted: "Second brother, where are you going?"
"Ah, Chunming, I'm going to my eldest sister's house. Didn't I catch a wild boar yesterday? There's a lot of meat and I can't finish it. I want to give her some meat." Zhang Peng stopped and said with a hint of pride.

Hearing this, Zhao Chunming immediately jumped over the wall excitedly and said, "Second brother, did you kill this wild boar? This morning, my aunt brought a piece of pork to my house and said it was hunted at home yesterday. I thought it was the uncle.
"Wild Boar"
"I went up the mountain to try my hand yesterday morning," Zhang Peng said.
"Ah? Second brother, tell me how you got it yesterday," Zhao Chunming said excitedly
Then Zhao Peng briefly talked about what happened when he went up the mountain yesterday. When he talked about being knocked to the ground by a wild boar, Zhao Chunming was really worried about Zhang Peng.
"Second brother, this is too dangerous. You could have just taken me with you yesterday. I can still help you," Zhao Chunming said with a scared look on his face
"It's okay, Chunming, I will take you up the mountain when I have the chance next time. I will feel more at ease when we are together," Zhang Peng said
In his previous life, Zhao Chunming had always been helpful and his life was not rich. However, after Zhang Peng's wife passed away, Zhao Chunming still wanted to take him home and take care of him.
But Zhang Peng, firstly because he didn’t want to trouble this old brother, and secondly because he was frustrated and wanted to stay by himself for a while, ended up going up the mountain to sleep and was reborn.
"Second brother, when you come back from eldest sister, let's go up the mountain. We haven't eaten meat at home for a long time. Eating potatoes and cabbage all day has made me feel exhausted," Zhao Chunming complained.
Zhao Peng looked around and whispered: "Wait, Chunming, wait for my brother to come back. Let's see if we can get some sticks, and then we go up the mountain."
"Put it out?" Zhao Chunming's eyes lit up
"Well, I remember that Yang Erlunzi's house in the east of the village has a stick, which is quite new. I will get it when the time comes, and then go up the mountain. If there is no one who can take advantage of it, nothing will happen. It will be too dangerous," Zhang Peng said

"Putting the handle" is actually the name for a hunting sand gun. Because when loading and ejecting a hunting sand gun, you need to open the lock at the connection between the butt and barrel of the hunting gun and then fold it.
It can be loaded with bullets or ejected from shells. Therefore, in Northeastern dialect, this type of shotgun that can be loaded with bullets or ejected from shells after being folded is called a pout handle.
The advantage of this kind of gun is that it has many uses and is very common. In this era when guns are not banned, it is easy to use in forest areas. It can be used to shoot iron sand and single-point bullets. It is very powerful. It can be loaded with iron sand to hit a fan, and the area is large.
Small animals such as pheasants and hares are easy to shoot down. When encountering wild boars, it is no problem for a blind bear to load a single-point bullet.
The disadvantage is that the ammunition is small and can only be fired once. In an emergency, there is no way to reload the ammunition in time. Usually, after firing one round, it is resigned to fate.
"Okay, second brother, then you can go to our eldest sister's place first, and wait until you come back, and then we can talk," Zhao Chunming said
"Well, I'll go over there first." Zhang Peng carried the bag and walked out of the hospital. Suddenly he remembered something and turned around and said, "Chunming, is Uncle Zhao at home?"
"No, I went out early in the morning and went to Xiakan to collect the floor cages," Zhao Chunming said
There are four people in Zhao Chunming's family, including his parents and a younger sister. His father's name is Zhao Decai, his mother's name is Li Cuihua, and his sister's name is Zhao Xiaoman.
Speaking of Zhao Decai, he is a very famous figure in Kaoshan Village. His nickname is Zhao Dabai. His father was a decentralized household before. When he first came to Kaoshan Village, he didn’t know much. Building a house and digging a vegetable cellar were just a few tasks.
Peng's grandfather helped organize it, so the friendship between the older generation has continued until now.
At that time, Zhao Decai followed his father to the countryside from the city. He had a broad vision in the countryside at that time, and he also liked to read some miscellaneous books. He did not say whether many things were right or wrong, but he could tell one or two, and he was praised and criticized in the village.
One, but all the big and small things in the village could not escape his eyes, so Zhang Peng wanted to ask who else in the village had a good gun.
"Oh, I understand. You should go back first and wait for me to come back." Zhang Peng said goodbye to Zhao Chunming, then carried his bag and walked straight to the Li family shack.
Zhang Peng carried the meat into the Li family's shack and came to a fenced yard within a short distance.
As soon as Zhang Peng stood at the door of the courtyard, the dog in the yard barked immediately. Zhang Peng did not rush in directly, but shouted at the door: "Is the uncle at home?"
As soon as Zhang Peng finished his voice, he heard the sound of the door opening inside. A rural man in his sixties came out of the house and walked towards the door with a big pipe in his mouth.
This person is Zhang Chengcheng’s father-in-law Li Dakui
"Hey, second boy, I haven't seen you for a while." When he saw it was Zhang Peng, Li Dakui nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Why are you still on the outside? Why don't you come into the house?"
After saying that, he called to him: "Second boy, come into the house quickly." He let Zhang Peng inside.
