1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"My dear daughter, where did you get the saddle and whip?" Chen Tiezhu asked in confusion. "Grandpa Dong made the saddle and the second great grandfather made the whip. Dad, do they look good?" Doudou asked happily. "It looks good. Second Master, Uncle Dong, why did you think of making this for Doudou?" Chen Tiezhu praised and asked the second master who followed. "Didn't you ask her to make it?" Second Master asked in confusion. "This little naughty girl is so lazy." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly. "I did say that I would ask Uncle Dong to make a saddle for her so that she can ride on the An Dahan. Who would have thought that she would ask you to make it for her, and she also made a whip." "This is what the child asked the adults to make?" Gao Xiaoguang asked in surprise after seeing all of them. How old is this little girl? She can figure out all these things? "He's just a little troublemaker." Chen Tiezhu tapped his daughter's nose.

"County Magistrate Gao, this is the old leader of our village. According to my generation, everyone calls him Second Master. The group of people arrested last time was also the first one that Second Master encountered. His arm hasn't recovered yet."

"Hello, Second Master. I have also read the report of that case. It was really too dangerous." Gao Xiaoguang hurriedly greeted.

"Leader, thank you for your concern. Fortunately, I met Tiezhu, who saved my arm and snatched my life back from the King of Hell." Second Master said with a smile.

"This kid is really capable, but sometimes he just likes to play and doesn't work hard." Gao Xiaoguang said.

Chen Tiezhu rolled his eyes, "I won't get involved in your suspenseful affairs. Uncle Dong, don't spoil Doudou too much in the future. When he grows up, he can climb up the roof and take off the tiles."

"Nothing, nothing, Doudou is so popular." Hu Yadong said with a smile.

"When he came to my house, he asked me, 'Grandpa Dong, I want to ride the An Dahan, and my father said that Grandpa Dong is great and can make saddles.' So I have to make it for him no matter what I say, right?"

"It's all painted with bright oil, and there's cotton padding underneath. On the way here, Doudou rode very steadily. He looks like a real person, very good."

"Yeah, Doudou is very good."

Doudou next to him said happily.

"You are still good, just a little naughty." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

"Dad, when can we make a car for An Dahan? Doudou wants to be the driver." The little guy jumped off An Dahan and asked while holding Chen Tiezhu's legs.

"Wait a minute, wait until Dad finds a broken axle and a broken wheel for you, then I will make a small car for you." Chen Tiezhu said.

Doudou's big eyes blinked, "Grandpa Dong, you are also very good, can you make a car?"

"Don't worry, Grandpa Dong will make it for you when the time comes." Hu Yadong nodded with a smile.

Doudou grinned happily, and there was hope for a small car.

He waved to An Dahan, and An Dahan lay on the ground obediently. The little guy came over and rode steadily, and then patted An Dahan's neck with his little hand.

"Go"

When An Dahan stood up, the little guy took the small whip and shouted.

"Moo..."

An Dahan called out, and then took Doudou for a walk in the backyard.

"Hey..., if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have thought that such a young child could be so smart." Gao Xiaoguang said with emotion.

"Don't talk about you, I didn't expect it for my own daughter either." Chen Tiezhu said with a wry smile.

"I was wondering why I didn't recruit a family these days, and it turns out that she has been at your house. Second Master, you too. Her arm is not well yet, why are you braiding a whip for her?"

"It's not that I can't use it if it's not well, I'm willing to do it."

Second Master answered confidently, which made everyone laugh.

"Tiezhu, after calling the girl, call all the villagers over."

At this time, He Jianguo also led people in from the back door.

The villagers were a little restrained. After all, in everyone's mind, the county magistrate was already a great official.

"Everyone relax, today is a solemn and happy day." Chen Tiezhu greeted with a smile.

"We have to be more formal when the time comes, so let's celebrate today. I will find a way to get a contract tomorrow and sign it with everyone."

"Don't think that I am just a makeshift team, we have to perform a big show. If I don't pay you in the future, you can take the contract to the leader to sue."

"Tiezhu, it's too formal to say that. There's no rush for money, just focus on your side."

"Yes, there will be a lot of work next time, right? When will we start?"

"I'm free anyway, so I'll do it., I will help you farm the land when the time comes. We will calculate from the beginning of spring. You can take care of any work during these days. "

...

These villagers also spoke one after another.

They are not just polite words, but sincere words.

Tiezhu is a man who really wants to do business. He has to put so much money into this business. Not to mention paying wages, even if he doesn't pay wages, he can still ask people to help. How can he not ask for help?

Gao Xiaoguang was very moved when he saw it. What is this called? This is called "people's hearts can be used".

No wonder Chen Tiezhu has so much confidence. It's really not a big deal to handle these jobs.

"Okay, Uncle Jianguo, help me take care of them. I'll drive to the town to buy some meat and pick up Yingzi and the others by the way." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Okay, don't worry about the family." He Jianguo nodded.

"Leader, I was in a hurry to see it last time. Let's take a good look at these mushrooms today. There are mycelium, but it's different. "Chen Tiezhu added.

Gao Xiaoguang smiled and nodded, he was in a really good mood.

The decline of the county's enterprises weighed on his mind, making him breathless. Seeing the villagers of Erdaoling Village united as one, it seemed as if he saw a ray of light.

"Tiezhu, what are you doing?"

As soon as Chen Tiezhu walked to the back door, he saw Qiao Shulin coming in with a small frying pan, a small shovel, and a small spoon.

Chen Tiezhu grinned, "Uncle Shulin, this is not something that Doudou asked you to make for her, right?"

"It's for Doudou. Doudou said she would cook in the future, so I made some for her while I was working." Qiao Shulin said casually.

"Oh..."

At this time, Doudou also ran over happily on his An Dahan.

"Grandpa Shulin, you are amazing, you did it well. ”

After climbing down from the Andahan, Doudou praised him happily.

“Hahaha, you didn’t care about this. I didn’t dare to give you a kitchen knife, for fear that you would hurt your hand.” Qiao Shulin said with a smile.

Chen Tiezhu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

What else can you say?

Doudou knows what he wants to do, and he, the father, has become a decoration.
