1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Dad, how come the peanuts grow on the tree?" Doudou asked curiously.

"Doudou, these peanuts don't grow on the tree, they are the food for this little squirrel." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

"The hole you just dug is its nest. Don't dig it again, put it all back. If someone digs our house, you will be so sad."

"Dad, it doesn't have a kang, how does it live?"

Doudou frowned, looked at the tree hole and asked in confusion.

"Uh..., it doesn't need a kang, it won't be cold if it stays in the tree hole." Chen Tiezhu said.

Doudou's little world is somewhat incomprehensible.

Without a kang, it won't be warm when sleeping, what's the point?

"Little squirrel, go home with Doudou. Let you sleep on the kang, it's warm, and you can eat meat." Doudou looked at the little squirrel and said seriously.

The little squirrel was unmoved, and its little brain could not accept the tragic fact that its home was raided.

"Doudou, Daddy has some peanuts and Mao Ke here, leave them for the little squirrel as a gift." Chen Tiezhu shouted.

"Dad, what if it doesn't meet me?" Doudou asked unhappily.

"It doesn't matter, it will remember you when we come next time." Chen Tiezhu coaxed.

He was worried that his daughter would stay on the tree and not come down because the little squirrel didn't accept her temptation to use the kang. Doudou now has a little temper.

Fortunately, Doudou still listened to the advice. He slowly climbed down from the tree, opened Chen Tiezhu's bag, and stuffed peanuts and Mao Ke into his little pocket.

He didn't feel sorry at all, this was a gift for the little squirrel.

I am Doudou who values ​​friendship, so the gift must be heavier.

After packing, Doudou climbed up the tree again.

Because his pockets were too full, he kept dropping things along the way. Chen Tiezhu, who was below, had to help pick them up.

Finally, he climbed to the side of the squirrel's house, and the little guy stuffed everything into the hole. Chen Tiezhu was very worried. What if the squirrel's house was full?

The little squirrel, who had reacted a little, was also a little puzzled. He didn't know what Doudou was doing.

"You have to remember that Doudou gave you a gift, and we are good friends." Doudou said seriously.

The little squirrel looked at it and changed his position.

Doudou looked very miserable.

If it was Goushengzi and Xiao Mihudan, they would have been humiliated by him if he had given them so many delicious foods and even a warm bed.

After watching for a while, he found that the little squirrel still had no signs of coming over, so Doudou climbed down unhappily.

"Be good, Doudou. When there's a chance, Dad will catch one for you to play with at home." Chen Tiezhu looked at his unhappy daughter and coaxed her.

"No, Doudou wants to make friends with the little squirrel. Dad, can you give the little squirrel milk powder? Milk powder tastes good." Doudou asked.

"Okay, Doudou can drink whatever he wants. Now let's continue playing. Dad will take you to see the springs on the mountain. There is also gurgling water there." Chen Tiezhu hurriedly diverted the little guy's attention.

"Dad, the mountain is full of rocks, how can water gurgle?" Doudou asked curiously.

"Because there are holes in the mountain, it comes out of the holes. Dad will take you to see it." Chen Tiezhu explained in a bluff.

He breathed a sigh of relief. His daughter is still a fool now.

After they walked away, the little squirrel crawled back to the door of his home.

Looking at the half-filled peanuts and mao ke at home, he opened his mouth with joy.

He quickly picked up a peanut with his little paws and bit it open quickly. He was stunned for a moment when he chewed the fried peanuts in his mouth.

In his limited life, the squirrel has never eaten such delicious peanuts. They are different from the usual ones.

He doesn't care about anything else. Now he just eats happily. It smells so good.

If Doudou saw this scene, he would definitely be very happy.

But what the little guy is thinking about now is to see how water gurgles out of the stone.

But Chen Tiezhu frowned now.

There is still some snow on the Erdaoling side, but there are some messy footprints on the snow. It looks very fresh, and they should all be today.

Who is so brave? Dare to go to Erdaoling to hunt?

It must not be someone from his own village. Even if he didn't warn me, he wouldn't bring them to Erdaoling.

Following the footprints of these people for a while, he frowned even more tightly, and had a rough guess in his mind.

The root of the problem was still in himself.

Because these people were not hunting, there was no trace of hunting along the way. How dare they go there?I came to Erdaoling, and it was for the lightning-struck wood.

In this case, I am the culprit.

I just don't know if it was arranged by the people who participated in the auction, or if they heard the news and wanted to make a fortune in the mountains.

Now he regrets it a little.

The jujube tree survived the lightning strike, and if it was cut down because of his own reasons, it would not be a beautiful thing.

It's not that he can't bear to see others get rich, but he wants to leave a glimmer of hope for this tree.

It can be said that he is both a person and a person. If he were to choose now, he would definitely not arrange the auction.

"Doudou, let's go quickly."

After Chen Tiezhu finished speaking, he also held the bow in his hand.

"Dad, what are you going to shoot?" Doudou asked curiously.

"We won't shoot anything this time, let's go to save the tree. Well..., maybe to save the tree, let's see first." Chen Tiezhu responded randomly, and then quickened his pace.

Doudou thought about it, so he followed. Anyway, she was not tired because she had the An Dahan to help her walk.

After climbing for a while, Chen Tiezhu smiled bitterly.

It was almost there, even though the trail was a bit winding, but the goal was definitely the top of the mountain.

With such a discovery, he didn't care whether he would be discovered or not. He adjusted himself and took a shortcut to climb up.

"Brother, we found this tree. Please come."

Just when he climbed to the top of the mountain, a man holding an axe blocked his way.

"Are you hired to cut down the jujube trees? Who hired you? Don't hide it." Chen Tiezhu said calmly.

"Why do you care about us? Do you want to come and mess with us?" A young man came out from behind a tree next to him, his hand on his waist.

"I am Chen Tiezhu, the young leader of Erdaoling Village. You come to see our trees in Erdaoling. Do you think I should care?" Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"It's not easy to climb up, and it's also risky. So, come down the mountain with me, I'll cook a table of food, and we can have a good drink."

"Burn newspapers at the grave, are you fooling the ghosts? We cut down this tree for 800 yuan, how much is your wine worth?" The young man who spoke later glanced at him.

"What the hell is the title of young master? Who gave it to you? Don't talk nonsense to me. This tree is cut down today."

"Hey..., I have to bear the consequences of the cause I planted." Chen Tiezhu sighed and put the bow aside.

He came here to talk and negotiate, but people didn't give him the opportunity at all.

If you don't take yourself seriously, then you can be arrogant.
