1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

Yesterday was an eventful day. In the evening, under the guidance of Chen Tiezhu, they experienced the culture of the stove pit and drank some wine.

The result was that their family was lazy in bed.

Chen Tiezhu woke up, but he was too lazy to get up. He just wanted to lie on the kang today.

"Tiezhu, are you home?"

At this time, Li Chengxiang's voice came from outside.

"Oh, Uncle Chengxiang, you are at home. Is there any new situation?"

Chen Tiezhu hurriedly got out of the bed, put on his coat and slippers, and ran out.

"No, no, everything is fine. I slept soundly." Li Chengxiang said hurriedly.

"You helped my family so much yesterday. I'm giving you something. Don't be disgusted. You have to accept it. If you don't accept it, I'll feel bad."

"Yes, Tiezhu. I didn't sleep all night last night. I was watching over the mother and daughter. I was thinking, if anything happened to them, how would I live?" Li Tongda, who came with them, also spoke up.

"I lived a miserable life before. I want to be like you and start a new life in the future. I..."

"What are you talking about? I think Tiezhu is actually pretty good, both before and now."

Before he finished speaking, Li Chengxiang slapped him on the back of his head.

"Uncle Chengxiang, what he said is really good. If I don't experience things, I won't grow up." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"But we have to make it clear first. If it's too expensive, I can't accept it. Although your family is okay, it's not too rich."

"It's nothing valuable. I just caught the chickens, ducks and geese at home and kept them for laying eggs." Li Chengxiang said hurriedly, and then opened the sack covering the basket beside him.

"I rode my bike to the town this morning and bought a pig's head. I heard that your family couldn't bear to eat the wild boar head, so you sent it to Zhang Yuanmin's house. Keep this for yourself." Li Tongda also took out the pig's head.

"Hey..., this gift is a bit heavy." Chen Tiezhu sighed.

When the father and son of the Li family heard him say this, they became nervous and were afraid that he would not accept it.

"How about this, I still have three slices of wild ginseng slices left when I was replenishing the body of the second master." Chen Tiezhu continued.

"No, no, it's too expensive." Before he could continue, Li Chengxiang said hurriedly.

Chen Tiezhu was happy, "There's nothing to be reluctant about. After we go back, we can stew it and drink the soup. One slice at a time is enough. Stew one slice every two days. After these three slices, the qi and blood will be replenished."

"If you don't accept this, I can't accept the things you bring. In such a situation, who can lend a hand and watch the fun with their hands in their pockets?"

"Hey..., we will accept it, you are so kind." Li Chengxiang sighed and said with emotion.

After Chen Tiezhu came out with the ginseng slices, the father and son also thanked him profusely.

For them, this is really not that easy to find.

And the second master used this even though he was so seriously injured, so it must be no problem to replenish his body.

"Dad, when did they come?" Looking at the chickens, ducks and geese in the yard, Doudou asked curiously.

"Someone gave it to them. Later, we have to make a nest for them so that they can lay eggs and eat them." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Dad, won't we stew it and eat it?" Doudou asked curiously.

Chen Tiezhu rolled his eyes, "We can't think about stewing everything. These are all chickens, ducks and geese from that year. It would be a pity to stew them."

"By the way, keep an eye on the little confused egg. Don't let it bully them, and don't steal their eggs in the future. If it steals, Doudou will have no eggs to eat in the future."

"Okay, Doudou, watch it." Doudou nodded seriously.

Other things are easy to say, but not having eggs to eat is not okay.

"Hey..., two chickens, ducks, geese, and one pig's head, is there anything special about this?" Han Xiuying asked as she walked out of the door.

Chen Tiezhu looked back and was stunned.

Han Xiuying was lazy in bed today. When she came out, her hair was loose, revealing a lazy beauty.

"What are you looking at? Are you going to cut me?" Han Xiuying warned.

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just the four-color gift in the countryside." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"It's just a formality. You can take some peanuts, melon seeds, flour, and sugar. This is also a four-color gift. If you want something a little more upscale, you can cut a piece of meat and replace it with a fruit box or something."

"What the Li family brought us is affordable. We just need it at home. Don't think that they only gave us a pig's head, which is not an even number. In fact, when Li Tongda went to his father-in-law's house, he gave about the same level."

"They are not asking me to do something. They just want to show their appreciation. I..."

"Dad, can we eat the pig's head today?"

Seeing that he was going to continue, Doudou spoke up.

Han Xiuying was so amused that she was very happy.Very happy too.

This smile attracted several souls of Chen Tiezhu.

"What are you looking at? Doudou, let's go wash our faces." Han Xiuying glared at him, took Doudou's hand, and twisted her body to walk into the house.

Chen Tiezhu scratched his scalp, found a broken basin, and had to prepare food and drink for the six new members of the family, and also expected them to lay eggs.

The food mixed with space water is still the kind that is enough to make. For these chickens, ducks and geese, it is definitely a delicious delicacy.

Although they share the same basin, they all stick their heads in it and eat non-stop.

"Old Fang, eat more pork head meat today, and you will also get half of the military medal." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

Fang Zhiyong was happy, "I was just watching the fun. I just remembered to ask now, what do you think if it didn't come yesterday?"

"No way." Chen Tiezhu shook his head.

"I know you thought of a cesarean section, but in that case, do you think it's too late? And without anesthesia?"

"It's very likely that your operation hasn't been completed yet, and there will be two deaths. The probability of multiple complications after the operation is really too high."

"Ah..., I came to you and realized that it's really difficult for female comrades in the village to give birth now." Fang Zhiyong sighed.

"If you have an idea, when you return to the county, you can work hard in this regard." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Our medical conditions are like this now. If you want to have an extra layer of protection in terms of childbirth, you can't do it without talent and funds."

Fang Zhiyong grinned, how could he have such great ability.

Besides, he is not an obstetrician.

"I'll go get some rosin, and come back to clean up the pig's head. Comrade Fang, come on, there is a long way to go."

Chen Tiezhu smiled and said, and walked out directly.

Leaving Fang Zhiyong scratching his scalp in distress.

"Director Fang, didn't you ask him how he knows so much?"

Han Xiuying walked out and asked.

"Isn't this as it should be?" Fang Zhiyong turned around and was a little confused.

Han Xiuying really didn't know what to say. Fang Zhiyong was now a little superstitious about Chen Tiezhu.

No matter what that guy does, it's as it should be.

Little Doudou was very curious about the new chickens, ducks and geese in the house. But after seeing Chen Tiezhu coming back, he didn't care anymore and had to clean up the pig's head with his father.

This is meat, it smells good.
