1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"What's the matter? Who in our town doesn't know the young leader of Erdaoling Village? He's very powerful." Li Yinglin said.

"Haha, is it because of the incident at the market?" Chen Tiezhu laughed.

"It's because of this incident. There were too many people who saw it at the time, so the news spread." Li Yinglin said.

"Don't be so vague, those three are not good people. They don't have any major problems, but they make small mistakes all the time. They suffered such a big loss at your hands this time, and they must still be thinking about you."

"Tsk, just three people who are trying to scam people, I'm afraid of what they are." Chen Tiezhu said indifferently.

"Hehe, just three people who are trying to scam people? Judging from what we have experienced, the ones who dare to do it are really these inconspicuous people." Li Yinglin said with a sneer.

"When they get excited, they might do anything. Those who are famous will be more cautious, and there will be traces no matter what they do."

"Thank you for your teachings, Brother Li." Chen Tiezhu said seriously.

Li Yinglin was stunned, turned his head to look into the house, and saw Han Xiuying looking away.

He felt helpless in his heart, and his bitter words were not as effective as Xiuying's eyes.

"Brother Li, do you think my reputation has spread among the gangsters?" Chen Tiezhu asked again.

"Yes and no, it's more spread among the common people." Li Yinglin said.

"I didn't care about it before, but later I found out that the old boss, Erye, is well-known in the surrounding villages. Now you are the young boss, and the news spread yesterday, so naturally more people are talking about it."

"That's fine, I'll clean up this black fish stick first, it's not that easy to clean up. I have to soak some dried vegetables, and it will be fragrant after stewing." Chen Tiezhu nodded.

Li Yinglin looked at him in surprise, thinking that he was making so much trouble at the market just to become famous.

But looking at his attitude now, it seems that this is not the case?

In fact, Chen Tiezhu really doesn't care about this reputation at all.

To put it more, he would rather not have it, and just want to live his life in peace.

"It seems that today's dishes are all related to fish."

While cleaning up, Erye led He Jianguo and Qiao Shulin in.

"Why are you together?" Chen Tiezhu asked curiously.

"I was at my second uncle's house, and then Doudou went over. When we came out, we saw Shulin coming over here, and Doudou called him over directly." He Jianguo said with a smile.

"That's great, it saves my eldest daughter from running back and forth." Chen Tiezhu said.

"I had to come to your house anyway, the kitchen knife is almost sharpened, and it's just a matter of sharpening it." Qiao Shulin said.

"When I remembered that the second master's method of sharpening the knife is better than mine, I thought I'd better bring it over. The rest will be almost done tomorrow, you can see if it's handy."

After saying that, he opened the bundle, and the kitchen knife inside was exposed.

Chen Tiezhu weighed it in his hand, and his face showed joy, "Uncle Shulin, this weight is just right. Second master, how do you sharpen it?"

"Why are you so impatient? Now that I tell you, it seems like you can sharpen it." Second master rolled his eyes at him.

"I'll talk to you in the afternoon. I still have to make arrows, so I don't have to waste too much spit. This kitchen knife is really good, but it's a bit of a waste to use it for cooking."

"Second Master, I'm not happy. I won't cook delicious food for you in the future." Chen Tiezhu said.

Second Master was stunned and looked at him helplessly, "Then you cook well and let me have more good meals."

"That's a must. Yingzi ordered four dishes and one soup today, and the wine is warmed up. But Second Master still has to be greedy, and the wine is not for you to drink," Chen Tiezhu said.

"It's the same as saying nothing." Second Master muttered.

"Everyone, hurry up and go into the house, let him clean up by himself." At this time, Han Xiuying called out.

Everyone and Li Yinglin said a few words of courtesy to each other, and then came to the house.

"Xiao Li, why do you still have time today?"

After sitting down in the house, Second Master asked casually.

"It's all because of Tiezhu. After all the trouble at the market, he's now quite famous." Li Yinglin said.

"Shulin, I also heard what everyone said. What's going on?" He Jianguo asked.

"Ah..., thanks to Tiezhu." Qiao Shulin sighed, and then briefly explained the situation.

He also had a lot of grievances in his heart, and he never thought that he would be bullied like this in all these years.

"They deserve to be beaten, these people are too heartless."

After listening to him, the second master said angrily.

"Old man, now is a little different from before. Otherwise, we shouldWhat are these police officers doing?" Li Yinglin said with a wry smile.

"This uncle is the victim, and Tiezhu can indeed help. But asking for money directly is also considered extortion, right? But it's not a big deal, and they dare not make it public."

"How is this considered extortion? Then they can blackmail the forest, but we can't ask for compensation?" Erye asked with some confusion.

"Old man, what is this? One thing is one thing. What they can do, we can't do. Because we are good people who abide by the law, not bad people like them." Li Yinglin thought for a while and said.

"But Tiezhu still does things in moderation, and finally handed the person over to our station. We are all the same, and the mountains have their own rules, I understand."

"But after all, it's different from before. If some rules are too strict, it's better to let us handle it to avoid causing trouble."

"But, I think Tiezhu does things in an orderly manner. Take the Zhang family for example. They were tormented by him like that, but they dared not say a word. "

"Haha, it's actually good. If the reputation of the young master spreads, I can worry less in the future. I'm old, and I really can't hold on any longer. I have to admit that I'm old." Erye said with a smile.

"Erye, if you say you're old, I really don't accept it. Tiezhu said that you can only shoot half of the bow, and many good guys can't do it." Han Xiuying, who came in with tea, said.

"That's because of Tiezhu, otherwise, I would have gone to see Marx earlier." Erye joked.

"Second Grandpa, what does Marx do? Can he hu galaha? I can't even hu galaha." Doudou asked curiously.

"Hahahaha..., you're still young, you'll be able to hu galaha when you grow up." Erye was so amused.

"It's just a little clever bean, and I couldn't catch the black fish stick today. After catching Tiezhu, she prepared to stew it for a meal, so as to vent her anger. "Han Xiuying said.

"It smells good after stewing it." Doudou said happily.

With the addition of Doudou, the chat became much more lively.

Listening to the laughter in the house, Chen Tiezhu was also very happy while busying outside.

What is the purpose of living? Isn't it just to be happy and peaceful?

Now he is very content and happy, and he cooks more skillfully and attentively.

After he prepared all the food and served it on the table, even the second master was looking forward to the bowl of mixed fish sauce.
