1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"I'm really stupid, really, how could I be so stupid? I'm such a smart person, how could I make such a low-level mistake..."

Looking at the crops in front of him, Chen Tiezhu muttered to himself.

Although he didn't dare to compare with Zhuge Kongming, who had planned everything, he also enjoyed the surprised eyes of others with his "foresight".

It can be said that there is a single mistake in a hundred precautions. He considered everything except pollination.

He was so proud that he wanted to use seeds produced in space to plant the land, what the hell?

Nowadays, there is not so much technology and hard work, and you can't catch bees in the cold winter.

What to do?

Life, you have to rely on your hands.

As you walk by, shake the corn and sorghum, and as many as you can successfully pollinate.

His tall figure gradually became shorter as the pollination time prolonged.

By the time he came out of the space, it was already dark outside, and he was still pounding his old waist.

"This job is really not for humans."

After pounding a few more times, Chen Tiezhu complained.

For corn and sorghum, just shake them as you walk. But what about the vegetables? They are all small flowers, are they so easy to deal with?

Even though he has been busy until so late today, there are still many vegetables that have not been pollinated, and he has to find time to continue.

Because he hasn't done what he should have done today, if he doesn't catch the hares and pheasants, do he still want to live?

After struggling to catch three hares and two pheasants, he rushed home.

"Dad, why are you back just now?"

Doudou, who had just returned to the gate and was playing with his friends in the yard, shouted.

Chen Tiezhu grinned, it's over, this level is not easy today.

"Master, there is a saying that life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in the hands of God. You old man..., wish for good luck."

Before he could speak, Lu Dan looked at him with sympathy.

Qi Cuiwen beside him was also hesitant to speak, and finally shook her head.

"Brother Chen..., sometimes, how should I put it, men..., have to be cowardly when they should be cowardly." Zhou Fengxia added earnestly.

"I know, I am a sinner today. Didn't you light a fire?" Chen Tiezhu asked in a low voice.

"Master's wife said that we have to wait for you to catch rabbits. Maybe, today we can catch a rabbit as big as a wild boar." Lu Dan said with a pout.

"Don't think too much, I just recreated the scene. This is what Master's wife said. Master, come on, you can do it, I believe in you."

While saying words of encouragement, the look in his eyes was very jumping, flashing with excitement.

Chen Tiezhu gave her a slap on the head, this is just a spectator who doesn't mind making trouble.

However, when he walked into the outer room and saw that there was no fire in the stoves of the two rooms, he knew that his problem today was much more serious.

"Oh? You still remember to come back."

Han Xiuying, who had just walked into the east room and was writing something, glanced at him.

"Hey, well, I forgot the time while walking in the mountains. I'm sure there won't be any next time. The rabbits and pheasants have been brought back. What do you want to eat today?"

Chen Tiezhu came to the edge of the kang and stood obediently. Temporarily ignoring the four heads outside the window, one big and one small.

"Oh..., when will it be my turn to make the decision in this family? I'm just a temporary resident, you can play however you want." Han Xiuying said in a sarcastic tone.

"No, absolutely not. In my heart, you have permanent residency." Chen Tiezhu accompanied her and sat down carefully next to her.

"Stay away from me, don't try to get close to me." Han Xiuying glared at him.

"Then I made a mistake, why are you punishing yourself?" Chen Tiezhu quietly grabbed her hand and said distressedly.

"It's so cold in the room, why don't you light a fire? We have to set a rule, no matter how angry you are with me in the future, you can't let yourself suffer."

"I made a mistake, you just have to punish me. This hand is so cold, let me warm it for you. Do you understand? Don't make such a mistake in the future."

After saying that, he put Han Xiuying's hand into his cotton jacket.

"Oh my God, what are they doing?" Lu Dan widened his eyes.

"I think we should withdraw." Zhou Fengxia said, but still looked at him.

"You two, you are so good to your uncle." Qi Cuiwen criticized, but her expression did not change.

"Oh..., let go." Han Xiuying was a little anxious.

"No, I won't let you go until you admit your mistake and your hands are warm." Chen Tiezhu said.

"How dare you say that? It's fine if you go out to play, but you should prepare lunch for them.Ah." Han Xiuying said unhappily.

"In the morning, it's rice porridge and pickles, and at noon, it's still rice porridge and pickles. Doudou is too lazy to eat, and he went to Uncle Jianguo's house to eat... Are you happy?"

"Hehe, I just thought that our Doudou would never be the one to suffer a loss, and would go to other people's houses to eat." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

Han Xiuying was also happy, but then she realized that it was not the time to be happy, so she pinched his belly.

"It hurts, it really hurts, don't put your hand on it." Chen Tiezhu grimaced in pain.

"What are you talking about, let go quickly, they are still watching." Han Xiuying warned again.

"Let them watch, it's a good time to learn." Chen Tiezhu said indifferently.

"What to learn?" Han Xiuying asked in confusion.

"How to find a partner if you learn. You think the three of them plus Zhenwen can't make two pairs? I think these two girls are pretty good, and they are no different from us brothers' wives." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Eh? You know what, this is really possible, Zhenwen is not young anymore." Han Xiuying nodded, and her mind was also attracted by this little suggestion.

"It feels to me that Xiao Zhou seems to have some little ideas about Dandan." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Really? How did you find out?" Lu Dan's spirits became even more full.

The two of them met in the room, covering their hands and studying, but the three people outside were worried.

"What are the master and the master's wife talking about? Why can't I understand it?" Lu Dan asked puzzledly.

"I don't understand it. Is there anything important at home? It seems not, right?" Qi Cuiwen thought carefully and asked.

"No, it's just the New Year's Eve tomorrow, and the New Year pig will be slaughtered. With the relationship between Brother Chen and the leaders, it will be in time to call tomorrow. "Zhou Fengxia said.

"I know, Dad and Sister Yingzi are thinking about what to eat." Doudou, who was held in Qi Cuiwen's arms, said happily.

"It's too worrying, why don't we go and ask? How can it be more interesting than watching Huo Yuanjia?" Lu Dan was a little anxious.

"Forget it, if we go and ask, isn't that just delivering food to them?" Zhou Fengxia retorted.

"Well..., that makes sense. But we have to figure it out, otherwise it will be so annoying." Lu Dan nodded in approval.

"It's coming out, it's coming out..., we'll act according to the situation later."

Seeing the two people in the room stand up, Qi Cuiwen said hurriedly.

The three people also perked up, and they had to figure out what they had just done.
