1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Yingzi, you are right. I just shaved my head. I think I look a little handsome." Chen Tiezhu said cheerfully.

"Don't talk nonsense. Let's go now." Han Xiuying said fiercely.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't I say I would listen to you? You ride too slowly. I'll take you with me and try to finish the procedures in one morning." Chen Tiezhu felt a little aggrieved.

Whatever you say is wrong, how can you live in the future? How can you grow mushrooms happily?

"Well..., okay."

Han Xiuying hesitated for a moment and nodded.

When I went back to Erdaoling Village yesterday, I also saw the speed of this guy riding a bicycle. It was really fast.

"Well, are you sitting firmly?"

Chen Tiezhu asked after they came outside and got ready.

"Sit firmly, you can ride." Han Xiuying said.

"Then hold me tightly, or I will throw you off." Chen Tiezhu said.

Han Xiuying, who was sitting on the rear frame, rolled her eyes. Her true colors were revealed, right? She just wanted to take advantage of me secretly.

Chen Tiezhu pedaled hard, and then squeezed the brakes.

"Oh..., if you do this again, I'll cut you."

After being shrugged, Han Xiuying punched him on the back in anger, feeling a little regretful.

"Dad, Dad, you're still playing."

Doudou, who was sitting on the crossbar, thought this was fun and wanted to continue experiencing it.

Han Xiuying was helpless, feeling sorry for this little guy in vain.

"Sweet, your smile is sweet, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze..."

After starting again, Chen Tiezhu also sang with his broken voice.

Han Xiuying was not only regretful in her heart, but also hated herself for forgetting to bring a kitchen knife. She should have chopped this thing into pieces, minced it into stuffing, and fed it to the dog leftovers.

This guy is full of nonsense, didn't he see the look of people passing by?

After enduring all the way, we finally arrived at the Agricultural Science Institute.

"I warn you, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't care about you."

After the car stopped, Han Xiuying said with a serious face.

"Don't worry, I'm as obedient as Doudou." Chen Tiezhu said seriously.

Han Xiuying opened her mouth and didn't know what to say next.

What the hell are you obedient?

She glared at him, and then walked into the Agricultural Science Institute with Doudou in her arms.

Chen Tiezhu followed happily, and his heart was full of expectations.

Growing mushrooms can really bring great profits.

A man in his forties in the office sat by the heater, reading a newspaper and drinking tea, and nodded to them.

Looking at the situation of this comrade, Chen Tiezhu frowned slightly.

But thinking about it, he was relieved. Isn't this the case in government agencies nowadays?

"You are Technician Wu, right? I am Han Xiuying from the county bureau." Han Xiuying greeted politely.

"Director Han, we still take this matter very seriously after receiving your call yesterday." Technician Wu put down the newspaper in his hand, picked up the teacup and took another sip.

"Ah? You are still the director?" Chen Tiezhu asked in surprise.

"Shut up and listen." Han Xiuying didn't give him a good look.

"The mushroom planting project is a delicate job. The comrades in the province can provide relevant technology and strains, but you need to mix the culture medium with straw and cow dung yourself." Technician Wu continued.

Chen Tiezhu's hot and passionate heart was cooled down by the cold water poured by Technician Wu.

He was inertial thinking and thought that it was similar to the planting method in later generations, that is, the mushroom sticks wrapped in plastic film were placed in the mushroom house.

If you just spray it with space water, the mushrooms will grow quickly, right?

Who would have thought that I would have to find straw and cow dung to make this culture medium myself?

There is no one who grows rice in Erdaoling Village, it is all dry land, so straw must be bought from other places.

Cow dung?

There are people who raise horses, donkeys, and mules in Erdaoling Village, but no one who raises cows.

My ambitions were aborted by cow dung?

"Can't it be provided directly?" Chen Tiezhu frowned and asked.

"What are you thinking? If everything is ready, wouldn't the ground be full of mushrooms?" Technician Wu glanced at him.

"What the hell are you talking about? Say it again." Chen Tiezhu's eyes widened.

Even if he is just an ordinary farmer now, he, as a technician, should provide technical assistance to him, and he is so arrogant.

"Pa"

Technician Wu picked up the teacup and slapped it on the table.

"Didn't you hear what I said? You don't know anything, but you are so ambitious and fanciful? Last summer, someone in Dawangzhuang wanted to grow mushrooms. What happened? More than 300 yuanAll the money has been lost."

"And then you blame us and ask us to pay compensation. I have seen many people like you who want to take advantage of the opportunity. Even if Director Han brought you here, I would say the same thing."

"Technician Wu, isn't what you said a bit too much?" Han Xiuying said with a gloomy face.

"Whether this project is feasible or not, does it still need to be decided by our bureau? Our Agricultural Science Institute is only responsible for providing information and evaluation?"

"Director Han, you misunderstood my meaning. I was just giving you a kind reminder, but you took my kindness for granted. "

Technician Wu stretched out his voice, and after he finished speaking, he picked up the newspaper again.

That means you don't understand anything, and we are too lazy to tell you.

Can Chen Tiezhu tolerate his bad habits?

He grabbed the enamel teacup on the table and threw it against the wall.

With a "bang" sound, the teacup came into close contact with the wall. The tea inside mixed with tea leaves and splashed all over the wall.

After falling to the ground, the teacup also bounced a few times before lying on the side.

Han Xiuying didn't expect Chen Tiezhu to have such a bad temper, and hurriedly hugged his arm.

"What are you going to do? Do you still want to commit murder?"

Seeing Chen Tiezhu being held back, Technician Wu, who was stunned for a moment, stood up and asked fiercely.

"Speak human words, but don't do human things. Eat human food, but don't do human shit." Chen Tiezhu curled his lips.

"Who do you think you are? I think the guy from Dawangzhuang was right to find you. You definitely didn't give any guidance at all. You have an attitude problem. I feel like I'm dirtying my hands if I hit you."

Han Xiuying, who was holding his arm, rolled her eyes, "Just say less. Just give us the mushroom growing materials, and we'll go to the farm to get the cow dung ourselves."

Although I also felt that Chen Tiezhu's raising the teacup was quite gratifying, but this guy actually dared to use "attitude problem" to make a point? As if his attitude would be corrected.

Technician Wu didn't say anything, but took out the information from the folder next to him.

The shaking hands also showed that he was in a very uneasy mood. I don't know if he was angry or scared.

"Don't always look at people with your ass eyes. Who do you think you are? At most, you are a donkey's liver and lungs. "Chen Tiezhu pointed at Technician Wu's nose and said.

Technician Wu instinctively took a step back and bumped into a chair. When he fell, he also swept the folder beside him to the ground.

"Okay, you should stop talking. Come with me and go to the farm."

Han Xiuying said helplessly, holding the materials and pushing Chen Tiezhu out.

Technician Wu looked at their backs in shock, "Let you be arrogant, wait until we get to the farm, let Liu Dayou deal with you."

After complaining, he hurriedly picked up the enamel teacup from the ground.

This was the prize he received when he won the award. Now the word "award" on it has been smashed into a hole, and he felt very sad.
