The leisurely life of rebirth

Li Qingjie was a little embarrassed and replied: "We are distinguished guests there. We are Qiu Zi's comrades-in-arms. I was once a soldier under Qiu Zi!"

"Ever? Then he changed his job." Uncle Qiu heard the words and enthusiastically praised: "The work unit assigned by the country must be very good, otherwise..." He glanced up and down, envious but not greedy, just right.

The expression is beyond words.

"What a good thing! Our education level is not high. It would be nice to have a serious job. The state-owned factory was good at first, but then it went bankrupt and I was laid off." Li Qingjie looked embarrassed by his direct look.

, scratched his head.

"I'm laid off." Even though he was already feeling cold, he still asked worriedly, "What's going to happen then?" As a village official, he still defended the government. "The government will not treat you soldiers badly. It will definitely..."

"Haha... Uncle Qiu really guessed that the county arranged for us to work in a private factory." Li Qingjie said.[

"Ah! It's a private factory! There is no guarantee there! Is it possible?" Uncle Qiu asked worriedly at the right time.

"His second uncle, he's fine! It's no worse than the state-owned ones. By the way, it's a factory that produces instant noodles and ham sausages, which the children are eating." Li Qingjie pointed to the crowded women and children outside the curtain.

"Oh! That factory! It's so well-known that it advertises on national television." Uncle Qiu exclaimed, "That factory must be very prosperous."

"That's right!" Li Qingjie looked as proud as if he was being praised. "You don't know how big our factory is."

"Second Uncle Qiu, thank you for taking care of Qiu Zi these years." He Junyao said nothing. That guy could blow the sky, even though what he said was true.

"That's what it should be. Don't say that we are related to each other, let's just say that Qiu Zi is also a first-class combat hero from our place. It's a pity that we are poor here! I always feel sorry for the hero." Qiu Er

The uncle's eyes became red as he spoke.

"His second uncle, what are you talking about? You have helped us a lot," Qiu Zi said.

The scene became silent for a moment. Uncle Qiu looked up at He Junyao, who always had an unsmiling expression. He changed the subject and said, "This is..."

Qiu Zi continued: "He is the company commander of our company. He took good care of me in the army at that time. Without him, I might not have been able to come back. They came here to treat my illness this time." Comrade-in-arms

What are they doing now? Qiu Zi really doesn't know. He knows the details of He Junyao, but he is in the military.

.During the reform and opening up, everyone wanted to get rich, and everyone wanted to have connections if they could, but what Uncle Qiu was thinking about was that the barber stalls were not going to be popular.

Company commander! This official position is too small! Second Uncle Qiu lowered his head, rubbed it with two fingers, and thought in his mind.

"Ah! So Yuan Wazi can be cured!" After hearing this, the third uncle who said nothing said happily: "This is really great. If it can be cured, it will be worthy of Hui Rong and her mother. After so many years

They never gave up, which is really hard for them both. With such perseverance and tenacity, no grown man can compare with them."

"We plan to take him to have a look." He Junyao said.

Li Qingjie saw that he couldn't finish the meal today, and looked at the eldest daughter and the younger daughter-in-law who were secretly looking at them outside. "Sister-in-law, we haven't eaten these things yet. Let's make a pot of them and give them to the children!"

"Then how can it be done?" After hearing his words, Mu Huirong walked in, shaking her head like a rattle, "No way! No way!"

"Just do as he said? Come and have a bowl of rice porridge with just one bun." He Junyao ordered directly.

"Listen to him, Huirong." Qiu Zi also spoke.

"Okay then!" Hui Rong called Qiu Lian to carry the steamer down.

Uncle Qiu felt embarrassed, "You see, we came at the wrong time and disturbed your meal, really."

"It doesn't matter?" Li Qingjie said with a heartless smile.[

"Then when are you leaving?" Third Uncle asked, he was very concerned about Qiu Zi's illness.

"If possible, we will leave tomorrow. The car will be parked in the county town. I just wonder if Qiu Zi has anything to pack?" He Junyao looked over and asked.

"There's nothing to pack, just bring two changes of clothes." Mu Huirong walked in and said, Qiu Lian was there for the smorgasbord outside, so it wouldn't be a problem, and those old ladies were also there!

"It is better to treat the disease sooner rather than later. Go early and come back early." The third uncle said, "Don't worry, you have old bones like us at home to look after you? We are all waiting for you to come back on your own."

Uncle Qiu, what are you talking about? People are here to treat illnesses, not to help them get rid of poverty and become rich. He can still distinguish this point. It's enough to express what you mean, not more to make people annoying.

"Yeah!" Qiu Zi choked and leaned his head against the wall.

"We have to let Qiu Lian follow, so that the little girl can take care of Qiu Zi." He Junyao continued.

"Okay! Qiu Lian has gained experience in taking care of her over the years. I will guard this home and wait for you to come back." Mu Huirong said reassuringly.

"Qiu Zi, do you have any other questions?" He Junyao asked.

"I have no problem with you all making arrangements." Qiu Zi said in a hoarse voice.

The woman was busy preparing a large pot of vegetables, adding some cabbage and stewing the potatoes. About a hundred households from the whole village came. It was just like eating a big pot of rice in the past. One person would eat such a bowl.

There will be enough to eat.

In the cold weather, what about having a bowl of hot food to keep you warm? It feels so good to be lucky enough to cover up a piece of meat.

After drinking and eating, sleeping became a problem. Qiu Zi's house only had two rooms and a kang, and three or three people were crowded in it. There was really no place to stay for the guests in this house.

Uncle Qiu said: "Come to my house! There are at least three rooms in my house. We are crowded together, and the other Kang is given to the distinguished guests."

Qiu Zi didn't care anymore at this time. The family's conditions were obvious, and he immediately responded: "Then I'll trouble Second Uncle Qiu."

He Junyao and Li Qingjie also said: "I have caused you trouble, thank you."

"It's not troublesome, I won't even clear it out. It's not troublesome, I'm just afraid that you guys will dislike me." Uncle Qiu's face blossomed with a smile, and his eyes became even smaller.

"Qiu Lian, come here." Li Qingjie waved, watching the little girl walk over, and took out two porcelain bottles from his backpack, "The red one is taken orally for pain relief, and the white one is best for treating bedsores. Give it to your father after we leave.

Put it on and remember it." These two bottles of medicine were given to me by Dr. Fang when I left Yun County.

"Hey! Remember." Qiu Lian said, holding the medicine bottle tightly.

"Follow me!" Uncle Qiu led the way, and his eldest son Da Gua followed beside him holding a torch.

The whole village was holding torches, so He Junyao could clearly see the appearance of the village. It is no exaggeration to say that there are all kinds of houses. Some houses are made of strips of stone and look very heavy.

Some of the houses are made of adobe bricks and are very dilapidated. Others are wooden houses, which look quite quaint. But no matter what kind of house, they have one thing in common, that is, they only have one floor and no more than two floors.

. It stretches from the hillside to the valley.

Not a single word!

It can be seen from the moment you enter the county that the county seat is so dilapidated, let alone this village. It is built on a slightly flat slope at the bottom of the hillside, with bluestone walls and dried thatch on the roof.

There is a layer of mud, and there are three houses in total. Uncle Qiu lives in one room, and Dagua and his siblings live in the same room as a part-time worker.

Next to the kitchen, the living room serves as his office and temporary reception room. Of course, unless the weather is particularly cold, cooking is done outdoors, with an earthen stove and firewood burning. There are neat firewood stacked in a corner of the house. In winter, it is

Indoors, some coal and some charcoal can be used for both cooking and heating.[

He Junyao and the others walked in with their heads lowered. The furnishings in the living room were very typical. The walls were papered with newspaper, and the red lacquered sitting cabinets were the earliest furniture. They were a must-have for weddings in the 1970s and were used for decoration.

Used for clothes and sundries. The sitting clock is very ancient

Yes, farm families mainly rely on it to keep track of time. There is also the word "happy" on it, which is a gift for a newlywed. The frame hanging on the wall seems to be photos of the older generation and family life. It is obviously yellowed, but it has

Of great commemorative significance.

The clear-flowered porcelain vase is of period, and contains a feather duster, which is only used in rural areas. Cabbage is placed under the cabinet, which is the main vegetable in winter, and the ground is paved with blue bricks.

"The kids' rooms are not very clean. It's going to take one night." Second Uncle Qiu was a little embarrassed, "I'll let the kid clean it up first. We'll just sit here for a while and we'll be fine."

After a while, He Junyao and the others walked in. This is the place where they will sleep tonight. It is almost the same as Qiu Zi's house. It is two meters wide and has a long earthen kang, with two more kang-top cabinets. The floor is for washing

white sheets

, you can still smell the scent of soap locust, and the quilt that was covered with it has been washed and turned white with rough edges. It makes him see that the patch is not far away. A child who loves to kick on the quilt will make a big hole when he kicks it. The whole thing is not good.

Clean, no odor.

"We are in such a hurry! What a waste of time." Uncle Qiu looked at the tidied room, and when others were not paying attention, he glared at his wife with his eyes, which were as big as a fish's eyes.

"Humph!" Second Aunt Qiu turned her head away.

"Okay, it's good." He Junyao said calmly: "During the war, I slept in the mud, not to mention there was a bed and quilt."

"Then I won't disturb you. Let's have a rest! We have to drive on the mountain road tomorrow morning!" Second Uncle Qiu waved the whole family out, then closed the door and shouted: "Dagua, take your brothers and sisters to us."

Go to sleep on the kang first, and I'll go see how your third uncle is doing."

Then he took Aunt Qiu and hurried out of the house. It was far away from the house. Uncle Qiu said, "You prodigal bitch, I asked you to make the bed, and that's what you did. Ah! You need a new quilt."

, new sheets, why are you keeping them? Ah!"

Second Aunt Qiu glanced at her and said, "Are you so flattering? You didn't even ask about her origins, so you're such a sucker. My new quilts and sheets are reserved for my son to get a wife." (Unfinished)
