Chapter 71 A Visitor from the Zhou Family
Yue Feng grinned: "Hey, don't mention it! A rabbit was caught up by kicking a ball at his feet. It didn't even run ten meters before it was pinned down by an eagle!
This eagle has never caught a rabbit, and it works very hard. When Xiaotao and I went over to see the rabbit, guess what?"
Yue Lei glanced at his son with disapproval. Yue: "You little bastard, you still lie to me, talk in human language, and sneer again, I'll cut you off!"
"Hey, I saw this big eagle holding the rabbit's butt with one talon and the other claw. Holding the rabbit's waist, I pressed the rabbit's lower legs with brute force, causing the rabbit to trample and scream!"
Anyone who knows how an eagle catches a rabbit knows that a rabbit will only scream when it feels completely desperate. If there is even a chance of struggling to escape, it will not scream.
When a big eagle catches a rabbit, it usually uses skill to subdue its prey. It is rare for a big red eagle to subdue a rabbit purely by brute force.
"How big is the rabbit?" Yue Lei nodded and asked another question.
Yue Feng said nothing and gave Xiao Tao a look.
Xiao Tao immediately took the rabbit out of the bag.
"It's not too small. This rabbit weighs three to three and a half pounds!"
"Well! This eagle has turned back and let go, so he must be a good hand! The eagle got a big crop today, and we will do it again tonight. Stay up all night and try to catch two of them tomorrow, and they will be fine the day after tomorrow!" Yue Feng thought to himself while stroking the eagle's tail.
"Hey, are you all at home?"
While Yue Feng, Xiaotao and Yue Lei were chatting in the yard, a middle-aged man about forty years old pushed away The front door of Yue Feng's house.
Yue Feng turned his head and saw the face clearly. The expression that was smiling a second ago immediately became colder.
"Who do I think you are? It turns out to be Uncle Zhou. What kind of wind has brought you here?" Yue Feng greeted with a smile.
"Hey, it's easy to talk! Brother Yue Lei, how are you recovering from the injury on your leg recently? I've been busy these days and haven't had time. I happen to be free today. Come and see you!"< br>
Zhou Jianjun said a few words of hypocritical concern.
"You come to see people with your empty paws. You old Zhou family really understand the ways of the world!"
At this time, Xiao Tao, who had been silent, also followed the yin and yang.
Zhou Jianjun is forty-two years old this year and is a well-known capable person in the village. The Zhou family is one of the representatives of the old households in the village. The Zhou family, the Zhang family, and the Wang family are all old households in the village. They have a large number of people and are quite influential.
Yue Lei paid him to find a job for Yue Feng at a forestry farm. When he got the money, his chest was slapped loudly. Yue Feng went to work for a few days. Yue Feng was so angry that he was ostracized for no reason, so he got into a fight with the person who was looking for trouble. As a result, he was beaten and knocked unconscious by the gang of blind people.
You know, when he was looking for forestry work for Yue Feng, Zhou Jianjun took forty-five yuan from the Yue family!
It is said that you should go in first and work, and when there are places, a formal establishment will be arranged for Yue Feng.
But after Yue Feng returned home after being injured, Zhou Jianjun never showed up again. Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to visit today.
Yue Lei looked at Zhou Jianjun with the same smile: "Why is Xiaotao talking to your Uncle Zhou? There are no rules!
As long as your Uncle Zhou has this intention, it doesn't matter whether it's something or not. Now We don’t lack these things at home!
Jianjun, my legs and feet are not very good, so I won’t invite you into the house. If you want to see me this time, I’m here to arrange work for Xiaofeng. "Brother Yue Lei, what you said made me embarrassed to open my mouth!"
I really have nothing to do with Xiaofeng going to the forest farm. I only keep this money for myself. I paid ten yuan, and the rest was given to the boss of the forest farm as a treat and as a favor. That Wang Erhu was so unreasonable that he accepted my gift and screwed me over!
I heard that Xiaofeng got hurt! I also went to the forest farm to find him, but the grandson drank too much and even I was beaten. If you don’t believe it, look at the blood scab on my hands.
I came here this time to give away the remaining money!
Things didn’t go well, so I, Zhou Jianjun, owe your family a favor. We are all from the same village, so if there is affection, I will make it up to my eldest nephew sooner or later! ”
While talking, Zhou Jianjun took out two five-yuan notes from his pocket and handed them to Yue Lei’s hands in public.
Spent 45 and got back 10 yuan, and Thirty-five yuan disappeared, but the expression on Yue Lei's face softened significantly after he got the money.
"Okay, thank you for giving me an explanation. Our family will accept the loss of finding a job for Xiaofeng!" Yue Lei put the banknotes into his pocket.
Zhou Jianjun paid back ten yuan and expected Yue Lei to let him into the house and then find a topic to talk about. However, he did not expect that Yue Lei still had no intention of entertaining Zhou Jianjun after accepting the money. , just sitting in the yard, playing with the small pine nuts in his hand.
The scene was somewhat awkward for a while.
After about thirty seconds, Zhou Jianjun couldn't hold himself any longer.
"Uh, what, is this the big eagle Xiaofeng just trained? It looks really mighty, more beautiful than the colorful roosters in the village!" Zhou Jianjun said in a stunned voice.
Yue Feng nodded: "Yes, Uncle Zhou. It's winter now, and there's not much work at home! Just keep it for fun!"
Still refusing to say anything, Zhou Jianjun didn't know how to answer the question, what's the situation like? There was some stalemate again.
However, the reason why Zhou Jianjun is recognized as a capable person in the village is that he still has a shameless attitude.
Seeing that Yue Lei and his son did not accept the offer at all, and did not ask if there was anything else, Zhou Jianjun had no choice but to explain his purpose.
"Well, actually this time I came here, in addition to sending money, I also have a small business, and I want to help pull some strings! Once this thing is done, I will make a lot of money. !" Zhou Jianjun continued to think about himself.
"What's the business, Uncle Zhou?" Yue Feng knew that Zhou Jianjun wasn't holding back, but he was also curious about what the other party wanted to do, so he asked.
From Yue Feng's accident in his previous life until Yue Lei's accidental death, this Zhou Jianjun had never shown up.
Meng Yulan went to the Zhou family several times, but she also tried Tai Chi and hit soft nails with no results. In the end, the orphans and widows were unable to compete with the Zhou family, a big family in the village. The matter dragged on until the end. Let it go.
“I have a friend from the city’s Military Control Commission, and I’m asking around who knows how to train falcons! I want to find someone to help me buy a few trained falcons! I just heard that our ancestors knew this, We fly eagles every day now, so I came here to ask if our eagles are for sale.”
Hearing Zhou Jianjun’s words, Yue Feng instantly knew what the other party was planning.
He said that a friend in the city asked him for help, but in fact he was 90% jealous of Yue Feng's business of making money by leading people to fly eagles.
After all, it has not been long since Yue Feng just bought a new bicycle in the village, and now he has tied up the big eagle and walks around in the village every day.
The Zhou family is thinking about how profitable it is and they have an idea.
