1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Uncle Jianguo, auntie, what's in the basket?" Chen Tiezhu asked with a smile. "Some time ago, you were talking about pickling salted duck eggs for Doudou, but I didn't see you doing it. I saved some duck eggs and brought them to you." Li Guijie said. "Auntie, this won't work. It's too much trouble to save them. I'm just busy recently and haven't been busy enough. I'll go to the county to buy some later, and that will be enough for Doudou." Chen Tiezhu said hurriedly. In rural areas, those who raise chickens, ducks and geese at home don't eat the eggs themselves, but mostly keep them for sale. This small basket of duck eggs must have at least 30 or so. How long does it take to save them? I'm afraid they must have been exchanged from other people's homes to make up the eggs. "This is not for you to eat, but for Doudou. Pickle it well later. If you don't have salt, come to my house to get it." Li Guijie said. "Uncle Jianguo, why didn't you stop me?" Chen Tiezhu said helplessly. "What can I do to stop you? Your aunt is thinking about this." He Jianguo said with a smile.

"I wanted to save more, but the New Year is coming soon. After it's pickled, it can be a dish for your family during the New Year."

"I know you are rich now, and you can have a good meal during the New Year. But the duck eggs we save at home are different from those outside. I don't know how long they have been stored."

"Okay, I'll take it. You can have lunch at my house. It's not a good thing, just rolling noodles." Chen Tiezhu made an invitation.

"What to eat at your house? The meal at home is almost ready." He Jianguo said with a smile.

"Just now your elder brother Chengmin called home. The town held a meeting and adjusted his job. He was transferred to the labor service team. At least he has something serious to do."

"That's great, but he will be very busy in the future. There are quite a few people sent out by our town service team. Although not as many as in the production team, the proportion is still quite high." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Hey..., don't worry too much. Don't think that I gave you duck eggs because of the adjustment of Weimin's job." He Jianguo said.

"Uncle Jianguo, what do you think of me? When I was incompetent earlier, I ate whatever your family had." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Brother Weimin's job adjustment is also a test for him from the leadership. Work hard, so that he can take on a bigger burden in the future."

"Don't worry, no matter what, I can't let him embarrass our villagers. If he dares not to work hard, you can see how I will punish him." He Jianguo said.

"Why are you cutting it? You are a proper cadre now. In the afternoon, harvest corn husks, and in the evening, come to my house. Let's have some fish and shrimp paste and drink with the second master." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Then, you should hurry up and get busy. I'll leave the basket at your house first." He Jianguo nodded and agreed.

He knew that his son's job adjustment must be due to Han Xiuying's efforts.

This is a favor. You have to mention it when you get the news. You can't pretend that you don't know anything.

A special mention also represents the favor between the two families, not for these duck eggs.

"Master, is this labor service team a good unit?" Lu Dan asked curiously.

"If you go back a few years, it was a real hot commodity." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Let's say someone from a production team wants to go out to work. How can you do it without the dispatch of the labor service team? They all hold great power."

"People lived a very difficult life at that time. They had nowhere to sell their hard work. How many people could go out from a village? The labor service team had the final say."

"But now it's a little worse. After all, people are free to work. But people who have been dispatched by the town's labor service team must work as long-term workers."

"This job position can still be useful. But it depends on whether he can do a good job. If he does a good job, he can be promoted in the future."

"If he doesn't do a good job, even though he is Uncle Jianguo's son, Yingzi doesn't tolerate any sand in her eyes. He will basically retire at this level."

"From what you said, it seems that you don't recognize this work ability?" Lu Dan asked with a smile.

"Yeah, just like you, you have high expectations but low skills." Chen Tiezhu replied happily.

Lu Dan rolled his eyes in anger. He never thought that he would get into trouble.

"There will be changes in the town. It seems that Old Ma will be assigned to the county soon. I don't know who will be assigned to be the mayor." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Uncle, how did you know?" Qi Cuiwen was a little puzzled.

Ma Guoming also came to the house for dinner and went there when the fish was distributed yesterday, but judging from the scene, he didn't look like he was going to leave soon.

"Silly girl, if Old Ma is about to leave,He left, and then adjusted He Weimin's job, which was a disadvantage. You can't adjust his job and leave it to the people behind or to Yingzi. "Chen Tiezhu said.

"It must be arranged in advance, so that everyone can see your ability to take action. In this way, Yingzi can also save a lot of worry. Otherwise, it's really hard to arrange for Uncle Jianguo."

"But from the adjustment to the current position, Lao Ma is still a bit conservative. I don't want He Weimin to leave trouble for Yingzi in the future because of his lack of work, so I gave him such a not very important job."

"But it doesn't matter. If he is willing to work hard in the future, he will have the opportunity to be adjusted to other important positions."

"Don't talk about this. When Yingzi comes back, he will definitely talk about this matter. Let's talk about it then. Especially Dandan, you will go to the hospital in the future, and the personnel relationship in the hospital is also very complicated."

Lu Dan nodded in approval, "That's not very complicated, it's quite complicated. Sometimes my grandpa is so worried when he comes home. He is always fighting and snatching things, but he cannot offend anyone. "

"Isn't Grandpa Lu the dean? Don't we have to listen to his command?" Qi Cuiwen asked in confusion.

"It is true that we have to listen to Grandpa's command, but we also need the cooperation of others." Lu Dan said with a wry smile.

"That's why my cheap master, who successfully corrected the bones of the provincial leaders last time, made my grandpa speak better. Otherwise, it would be very difficult."

"What do you mean by cheap master? I am also very precious." Chen Tiezhu pouted and said, and then continued to work.

The cleaned crucian carp was salted, then coated with flour and fried directly.

After the first pot came out, three girls, one child and two adults, each had one.

It was so crispy and fragrant.

It was the first time for the two big girls to eat it, and they licked their lips and wiped their tongues.

"Save some food for us, the noodles we made are not given for free. "Chen Tiezhu reminded.

"Master, the water here is boiling, should we pour it in?" Lu Dan asked.

"Put it in, and then stir it with a strainer to avoid burning the bottom of the pot." Chen Tiezhu said casually.

It's really convenient to do any work with a little helper.

It's all very simple work. After a while, the fish here were fried and the noodles were cooked.

Just as they were put in the basin, the jeep stopped at the gate.

Chen Tiezhu didn't care about the pig food at all, and ran out happily.
