Chapter 819 Finalized
After Wang Xiulan finished her instructions and left, Zhou Mingxuan was about to start cooking, but was stopped by Liu Jingxue.
"Brother Zhou, don't rush, let's wait a little longer.
My uncle, aunt, brother and sister-in-law haven't seen each other for more than two years. I guess they have a lot to talk about, which can't be finished in a short time.
Don’t let the food get cold by the time they’ve heated it up and have to be heated up again before they’ve finished talking.”
Hearing this, Liu Jianjun nodded in agreement and said, "Little sister is right, let's wait a while before we take action."
"Mom, why don't you just make a hot pot? Why stir-fry so many dishes?
If it's hot pot, there's no need to heat the food."
Liu Jianjun could say this, but Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao didn't dare to say it, and even Liu Jingxue couldn't say it.
Worried that Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao might have some thoughts in mind, Liu Jingxue quickly said,
"Second brother, don't you think about it? Forget about eldest brother, but eldest sister-in-law has never eaten hot pot, and I don't know if she likes it.
I didn’t even let them finish their first meal after arriving home.
Besides, there is also Little Tiger.
The hot pot base we made is so spicy, and he can’t eat it.”
"It's you who wanted to eat hotpot, don't blame it on your aunt."
Liu Jianjun shook his head and teased Xie Yumei, “Little sister, it seems that you don’t know your sister-in-law well enough.
If she knew there was such a good thing as hot pot, she would probably not be able to stop eating it.
As for Little Tiger, that is a problem.”
When Zhou Mingxuan heard what Liu Jianjun said, he was worried that Liu Jingxue might be imagining things, so he quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Brother Jianjun, why are you in such a hurry?
If you want to eat hotpot, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so it doesn’t matter if you eat it for one or two meals.
As for little Hu, he can’t eat spicy food, so I’ll have to make some extra for him.”
"We don't need to worry about this, we have sister-in-law and mom, they will take care of it.
Especially the eldest sister-in-law, she knows more about Little Tiger's preferences than we do."
Having nothing to do in the kitchen, and not wanting to go inside and listen to the family chatting, Liu Jingxue quickly started a topic for fear of being reminded of other family members.
"Brother Zhou, did you buy the soft sleeper ticket? Which day is it?"
Seeing Liu Jingxue asking, Zhou Mingxuan nodded happily, "I asked someone to help me order it a long time ago, there's no way I couldn't buy it.
I took down all four soft sleeper tickets for the same small compartment."
Seeing that he didn't mention the date, Liu Jingxue asked again, "Which day?"
Only after knowing the time could she confirm whether they could join the hunting team the day after tomorrow.
"number 14."
Liu Jingxue calculated the time. Today is the 9th, and the hunting team will go into the mountains the day after tomorrow, the 11th. They will leave early and return late, and will not spend the night in the mountains.
The ticket for No. 14 would not delay the two of them from entering the mountains with the hunting team.
She breathed a sigh of relief, finally not having to let the captain down.
"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhao, the captain came to see me this morning.
He said he went to your house, but no one was there, so he came to my house to look for my second brother, but didn't see him either.
The captain asked me to tell you something."
Zhao Junhao guessed, "Xiaoxue, did the captain tell you about the hunting team entering the mountains?"
"How do you know?" Liu Jingxue asked in surprise.
Zhao Junhao shrugged, "That's not hard to guess.
The last time the hunting team came back, the captain saw that the harvest was not great, so he said that he would organize another hunting team to go into the mountains again before the Spring Festival.
But there has been no movement during this period of time. He came to us and to you at this time. I can't think of anything else except the hunting team."
Liu Jingxue nodded, "He did come to talk to me about going into the mountains."
She looked at Liu Jianjun and said, "Second brother, the captain invites you to join the hunting team and go into the mountains together.
Didn’t you promise your uncle that you would go into the mountains with the hunting team to protect the safety of the villagers?
I took the initiative and agreed to it on your behalf.
Not only you, but I've also accepted it on behalf of my elder brother."
"I don't know if my brother will blame me for making the decision for him without his consent." Liu Jingxue said worriedly.
When Liu Jianjun heard this, he remembered that after he met Liu Jianguo in the morning, Liu Jianguo often asked him if he could go into the mountains to hunt after coming here, as there were many prey in the mountains. He couldn't help but laugh.
"Little sister, you can rest assured. Big brother will not only not blame you, but will thank you.
All the way there he kept talking to me about going into the mountains to hunt.
If you knew this news, you would be so happy. "
"I told him on the way that unless the production team allows it, if you go into the mountains to hunt privately, you have to hand in too many prey if you hunt too much.
He would be so happy if he could go into the mountains with the hunting team and show off his skills without any restraints."
Liu Jingxue heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this, "That's good."
She looked at Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao again.
"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhao, the captain asked me to tell you that the hunting team will go into the mountains the day after tomorrow, leaving early and returning late, and will not stay overnight in the mountains.
If you have enough time, I would like you to go into the mountains with the hunting team."
Zhou Mingxuan thought for a moment and said, "It's 11 the day after tomorrow. That's no problem. We can go together."
"You guys go together, and share some of the meat and take it back to Beijing.
So that you don’t end up bringing back only cured meat.”
"That's true.
I also want to make more hot pot base to bring back and have hot pot at home, but bacon is not easy to cook in hot pot.
But back home, you need tickets to buy meat, so I can’t get that much fresh meat for my hot pot.” Zhao Junhao said thoughtfully.
Liu Jianjun suggested, "Then you should bring back more fresh meat.
If the hunting team gets too little after entering the mountain, we can sneak into the mountain again.
Anyway, your train is on the afternoon of the 14th. Xiaoxue and I will take you to Xishi to catch the train. Just make sure you arrive on time."
Zhou Mingxuan thought for a while. It was cold now, so if he just kept the meat in the package for a day, it should not go bad.
At most, it will be frozen in the snow for two more days. It will be frozen hard and it will take a long time to thaw.
When the time comes, put it on the floor of the box, and the melted water will have to be cleaned up by the staff.
"Brother Jianjun, can you drive?" Zhou Mingxuan suddenly asked.
"Drive," Liu Jianjun was stunned at first, then nodded, "Then I will definitely do it.
I learned this specifically in the army.”
Zhou Mingxuan nodded, "As long as you can drive.
We have too much luggage. If we take the bus, if there are too many people, there will be no place to put the luggage, and it will be too conspicuous.
If some people with bad intentions knew what was in the package, it would cause trouble."
Liu Jianjun thought about it and felt that this was indeed possible.
Although the meat in the Northeast is mostly eaten in the mountains and forests, and people living near the mountains basically go into the mountains to hunt and eat meat, no one has the ability like them to get so much meat.
If seen by some jealous people, it might really cause trouble.
"You asked me if I can drive. Do you have a way to borrow a car?" Liu Jianjun asked curiously.
Then he remembered the boy's family background and felt relieved.
Given this kid's impressive family background, it shouldn't be difficult for him to just borrow a car.
Even if it was him, if he revealed his identity and went to certain units, he could borrow a car.
Zhou Mingxuan filtered through his mind the people who could borrow the car, and nodded affirmatively, "It should be no problem, just find a way to get some oil.
I will finalize this tomorrow.”
“If we can borrow a car, and if the weather is good and there is no snow in the next two days, we will set off for Xishi early in the morning on the 14th.
After I drop you off in the car, I will drive Xiaoxue and I back to Linshan Town to return the car, so we don’t have to spend the night outside.”
Liu Jingxue was also happy. This way, she no longer had to worry about the snow and the bus suspension, and she would have to stay in Xi City for a few days.
If she was alone, she could just fly back on her sword, but doesn't she still have Liu Jianjun?
It was the end of the year, and she didn't want to spend the New Year in a guesthouse because of the weather.
She was so happy that a smile appeared on her face.
When Zhou Mingxuan saw her expression, he immediately felt that his idea was a good one.
I have made up my mind to get this done tomorrow.
