Hold His Hand

After the water boiled, Lu Yanzhou filled a bottle with a hot water bottle, scooped some out for washing, then added rice to the pot and cooked rice to eat.

The original owner has everything, including a thermos, toothbrush, etc., but they are all the same, so these days, he and Xie Chengze use the same toothbrush to brush their teeth.

Xie Chengze was lying on the bed before, and he didn't know much about this. Today, when he saw Lu Yanzhou brushing his teeth with his brushed toothbrush, his face turned red.

He also felt a little real, Lu Yanzhou really planned to live with him.

Xie Chengze sat behind the stove and looked at Lu Yanzhou who was squatting in front of the door brushing his teeth. The morning sun shone on Lu Yanzhou, which made Lu Yanzhou look particularly handsome, and he couldn't get tired of it.

Then Lu Yanzhou turned his head and said to him, "The weather is fine today. I'll move you outside to get some sunshine?"

Xie Chengze: "???" What did Lu Yanzhou say?

Most of the people in the village do not speak Mandarin, and they usually communicate in dialects. The dialects here are quite different from Mandarin...

Xie Chengze couldn't understand Lu Yanzhou's words, but he had an impulse in his heart - he must learn Mandarin, he must understand Lu Yanzhou's words!

At this time, Xie Chengze didn't know that when he finally spoke Mandarin smoothly, Lu Yanzhou would start to speak English to him...

Lu Yanzhou speaks his mind, and he will no longer use dialects at home.

After all, there is a place for communication, Lu Yanzhou talked for a few days... Xie Chengze could understand the general idea, and he started to learn first grade knowledge with Lu Yanzhou.

In the last world, Xie Chengze didn't care about learning. This world Xie Chengze is different. He learns things very fast and pays special attention, which makes Lu Yanzhou very gratified.

For the first grade text, Lu Yanzhou read it to him several times, and wrote each word several times for him to read, so that he could read and write by himself.

There was not enough pen and paper at home, so Lu Yanzhou made a sand table for him.

Xie Chengze sat on a bamboo chair with a bench in front of him and a sand table on top of the bench. Then he took a wooden stick and practiced calligraphy according to the sand table.

Everyone in the village lived close by, and Xie Chengze was sitting at the door like this, so naturally some people came to visit.

They didn't think that Xie Chengze was studying, they thought it was because Lu Yanzhou was afraid that Xie Chengze would be bored and let him play with the sand.

Xie Chengze, who heard other people's comments: "..." He didn't play with sand!

Adults learn things faster than children, especially when the adult is determined to learn.

By the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xie Chengze had already learned a lot of Chinese characters in the past half a month, and he even started to learn mathematics.

There is no need to work these days, but Lu Yanzhou is not idle. He turned over all the newspapers he brought back, and then wrote a few articles.

In this era, it is not easy to submit articles, and the wording in the newspapers is completely different from that of later generations. Fortunately, he used to be in the system, he has written official documents, and has experience in this area. Of course, he must be careful when writing, not involving politics. .

He was the least fond of writing this kind of stuff back then, but now he has to.

The manuscript was already written, so Lu Yanzhou went to town to send it out, leaving only Xie Chengze at home.

"Where's my brother?" Lu Hongxing came in with his things and asked with a frown.

Xie Chengze, who was practicing calligraphy on a sand table, said, "He went to town, are you okay?"

"My parents asked me to bring him something." Lu Hongxing said angrily.

Lu Hongxing lived at home for half a month and just came back today.

This time back for the Chinese New Year, Lu Yanzhou not only brought fish and meat to the family, but also did not want the money from his parents. In the past half month, his parents told him how sensible Lu Yanzhou was every day and asked him to learn from Lu Yanzhou.

His parents also prepared a lot of things for him to bring to Lu Yanzhou.

That's okay, his parents didn't give him money this time, saying that his brother didn't ask for money for raising Xie Chengze, he was alone and shouldn't ask for money from his family.

Lu's father and Lu's mother did not give money to the two of them, in fact, they felt that Lu Yanzhou and Lu Hongxing were not too young. They would get married in a few years and plan to save some money.

But Lu Hongxing didn't know, so he made another note to Lu Yanzhou.

"Brother Yanzhou should be back soon, do you want to wait for him?" Xie Chengze asked.

"No need, I'll put the things here for you." Lu Hongxing took out the things in the basket and put them aside, then gave Xie Chengze a sympathetic look before leaving.

Xie Chengze is a little unclear - why does Lu Hongxing sympathize with him?

Lu Hongxing sympathized with Xie Chengze, of course, for a reason.

He couldn't figure out what was going on with Lu Yanzhou, so he found his own assistant. After thinking about it for a long time, he really found a reason.

Lu Yanzhou did this mostly to have a good reputation!

Lu Yanzhou himself graduated from high school, and if he does some good deeds, he might be able to get a good job!

Lu Hongxing thought about it carefully and thought that was the case.

When he didn't go to the countryside before, Lu Yanzhou wouldn't help people all day long. He was usually studying and then working everywhere to find a job.

In fact, with Lu Yanzhou's ability, he was able to find a job, but other people couldn't see that his family's children stayed in the city, and they had to go to the countryside after using some means.

It was only after he came here that Lu Yanzhou did good deeds everywhere. Now people in the village are praising Lu Yanzhou. If there are any job opportunities in the future, they will definitely recommend Lu Yanzhou.

Lu Yanzhou is too treacherous!

After understanding this, Lu Hongxing began to sympathize with Xie Chengze.

Xie Chengze regards his brother as a good person, but his brother only regards Xie Chengze as a tool person!

When his brother finds a job, he will definitely use the reason that he can no longer stay in the village, and then get rid of Xie Chengze!

Lu Yanzhou didn't know what his younger brother was thinking.

On his way back, he met a hunchbacked old man with a basket of things on his back. Seeing that the other party couldn't carry it, he helped him carry it and sent him home.

This old man went to the town to pick up rubbish. In her basket were the grass she mowed in the town, as well as some small rocks and rotten wood.

Small stones can be used to build houses in the future, and rotten wood can also be used to make fires.

In the eyes of people of this era, almost nothing is really garbage.

After such a delay, Lu Yanzhou went home a little late and was in a hurry to cook when he saw what Lu Hongxing had brought.

There are noodles and rice cakes in it, as well as dried bamboo shoots and kelp, all of which are edible.

"There are noodles..." Xie Chengze swallowed when he saw the noodles.

Lu Yanzhou had made black fish noodles for him before, and it was very delicious, but before that, he had never eaten noodles.

He has no chance to eat anything that can only be bought with money and food stamps.

"I'll make noodles for you at noon today." Lu Yanzhou smiled, then took out a small piece of sesame cake wrapped in newspaper and gave it to Xie Chengze: "The sesame cake I bought in the town, you eat the pad first."

They give gifts here, this kind of sesame flour cake called "flat cake" with bean paste in it is very popular.

However, although this flatbread is the size of a ping-pong racket, few people buy the whole piece. The store usually cuts it into eight slices and sells them one by one.

Lu Yanzhou bought a slice for Xie Chengze and let him taste it.

"You eat first." Xie Chengze said without thinking.

"I don't like sweet food, you can eat it, don't be reluctant to eat it and end up spoiling it." Lu Yanzhou stroked Xie Chengze's hair.

He bought a pack of cloud cakes for Xie Chengze at the beginning. Although he kept urging Xie Chengze to eat it, Xie Chengze was always reluctant to eat one piece a day, and in the end he just grew hairy.

After he found it, he threw it away, which made Xie Chengze distressed for several days.

Xie Chengze held the pie in his hand and did not speak.

This thing is said to be delicious, how could someone not like it, Lu Yanzhou just wanted to leave it to him!

After taking a small bite, Xie Chengze began to practice calligraphy with great energy.

He actually wanted to learn something else, but Lu Yanzhou said that after he learned to read, he could find a good job...

time flies.

By the summer, Xie Chengze had already learned both Chinese and mathematics in elementary school.

At this time, there was not much knowledge in elementary school, but it was not easy to finish it in such a short time. Lu Yanzhou was very happy, so he went to the town early in the morning to buy meat, and prepared a pot of meat to celebrate.

At the beginning of the year, Lu Yanzhou sent several manuscripts to the newspaper. At that time, one of them was selected for publication. Later, Lu Yanzhou wrote some more articles one after another, and a total of three articles were published.

The manuscript fee is not much, but there is a little money. Lu Yanzhou knows the future situation. He is not saving money like other people.

Because of this, he and Xie Chengze lived a good life.

He would give Xie Chengze an egg every day, and after a while, he would buy some meat to eat, so he finally raised Xie Chengze with some meat.

Xie Chengze, who no longer basks in the sun and does farm work, has become much whiter, and his skin has become delicate. He is now the most handsome guy in the village after Lu Yanzhou.

Lu Yanzhou said that he wanted to stew a pot of meat, but in fact he only bought a pound of meat, but he added more soybeans to stew, and there was a full pot.

Lu Yanzhou, who came home from work, was cooking while teaching Xie Chengze to memorize the Chinese text for junior high school. The two of them were memorizing, and someone came.

"Lu Zhiqing!"

"Lu Zhiqing, thank you very much!"

It was a middle-aged couple who came with a seven- or eight-year-old child in their hands. As soon as they saw Lu Yanzhou, they thanked them repeatedly.

Last night, Lu Yanzhou went to fix the bones of the old man Zhou who fell in the next village. When he came back, he encountered a child who fell into the water and picked it up. This is the parent who came to thank him.

In the past six months, Lu Yanzhou has been helping people around him, accumulating merit, and under the pretext of being interested in medical skills, he learned some medical skills from the barefoot doctors in the village.

At this time, there were very few doctors, and the barefoot doctors in the village were only the ones who had received simple training. Lu Yanzhou "learned" with him for a few days, and he even dared to let Lu Yanzhou give injections to patients!

Because of the "value" of the barefoot doctor, Lu Yanzhou became half a doctor in the village.

He will also straighten his bones, which is more popular.

However, the only doctors Lu Yanzhou can contact at this stage are the barefoot doctors in the village. The doctors in the town hospital will not pay attention to him, and he will not be able to see more powerful doctors.

Relying on people's headaches, Lu Yanzhou saved some merits.

But even though he has been helping others, yesterday was the first time he saved a life.

"No need to thank you, you can take good care of your children in the future." Lu Yanzhou said.

In summer, the weather is hot, and if one parent is not optimistic, children can't help but go into the river, and accidents are easy to happen.

"Yes, yes!" The parents thanked them repeatedly and took some eggs to give to Lu Yanzhou.

Lu Yanzhou didn't plan to accept it, but he put it down and ran, running so fast.

Lu Yanzhou: "..."

Seeing this scene, Xie Chengze couldn't help laughing. Lu Yanzhou reluctantly put away the eggs and said to Xie Chengze, "I'll scramble eggs for you tomorrow."

"Yeah." Xie Chengze nodded with a smile.

At this time, the villagers who had eaten dinner gathered at the gate of the village committee compound, and they talked about Lu Yanzhou while enjoying the shade.

"Lu Zhiqing is really a good person."

"The boy from the Zhou family yesterday, if it wasn't for him, he might have died!"

"I accidentally cut my leg when I was cutting rice, and he sent me to the barefoot doctor."

"I was uncomfortable last time, and he showed me that."

"He also helped fix the roof of my house."

…

The people in the village have an appreciation for Lu Yanzhou!

Lu Yanzhou has done many good things, the most famous of which is that he took care of Xie Chengze!

How many people in this world are willing to take care of a person whose lower body is paralyzed?

Even if it is to take care of, it will not take care of people so well!

Lu Zhiqing is a great man.

As everyone was talking, the village chief came from a distance with a happy face.

"Village Chief!" The villagers greeted one after another.

"Everyone is enjoying the shade!" The village chief laughed.

"Village chief, is there a happy event?" Someone asked immediately when they saw the village chief like this.

The village chief did not hide it: "It's a happy event! I went to the village today, and they told me that someone would come to interview Lu Zhiqing tomorrow!"
