After returning from the Duji clinic, Lao Mu asked Xiuhua to boil a large pot of boiling water that night, the bottom of the stove in the kitchen and the temperature of the boiling water, the indoor temperature rose a lot, although Mu Zhen, who was stripped naked, still felt a little cold, but according to the doctor's statement, this is also the most effective treatment, washed it thoroughly, and then smeared the potion and ointment, changed into the clothes that Xiuhua had already prepared, and took off the clothes with a strong sulfur smell on her body. According to Dr. Du's instructions, Xiuhua disinfected the clothes Mu Zhen had changed on, bed sheets and other bedding with boiling water. Just as the Spring Festival was happily welcomed, Lao Mu's family was busy with the "war" to cure scabies.

In the blink of an eye, it is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the end of the lunar calendar is most like the end of the year after all, just after breakfast, there is a clanging sound of chopping meat, which constitutes the most concise and bright symphony in the countryside. Lao Mu cooperated with Xiuhua to pick up a green onion and just peeled off a layer of skin, when he heard a familiar voice coming: "Are you at home?"

It was a natural voice, a unique mixed male and female voice, with a man's thick voice and a woman's sharp voice.

"It's in the house!" replied Mu Bao, who was about to whip it outside the gate.

Lao Mu hurriedly put down the green onion in his hand and greeted him.

"Why aren't you busy this Chinese New Year?" asked Lao Mu a little surprised.

This old classmate has rarely seen him since he raised his beloved piglets, and every day he is busy with the affairs of the village except for taking care of his piglets, he has become the busiest man in the village, and whenever he asks about others, the answer he gets is always that if he is not in the village, he must be in the pigsty. During this period, I also listened to Xiuhua nagging about the stories in his pigsty.

"No matter how busy we are, we have to celebrate the New Year!" Tiancheng spread his hands and continued: "The New Year is our New Year, and we can't just raise pigs because of the New Year! Everyone has helped a lot, this is not the New Year, I invite everyone to have a meal, and I can communicate with you about my harvest this year!"

Lao Mu knows that this year's pork prices have increased a lot compared with last year, and Tiancheng's income should still be good.

"Okay, this is good, you don't forget our poor people when you get rich!" Lao Mu joked.

"That's, besides, aren't we not rich yet?" Tiancheng pouted.

"It doesn't matter whether you are rich or not, what matters is our brotherhood!" Wang Tiancheng deliberately dragged out the word "friendship" a little longer.

"Then will I go to your house or the pigsty later?" Lao Mu learned from Xiuhua that the house Tiancheng built in the pigsty could cook and eat, and in order to take care of his pigs, it was common to eat and live in the pigsty.

"At home, where can I invite you to the pigsty!" Tiancheng pursed his lips and smiled.

"Okay, I'll go in a moment. Tiancheng's hospitality is difficult to refuse, and Lao Mu naturally agreed.

"Then I'll invite the others!" Tiancheng said, waving his hand to Lao Mu: "Don't wait too long, let everyone wait for you for a long time!"

"You still don't worry about me, I'll be there if you can't go home!" Lao Mu raised his hand and promised.

When Lao Mu came to Tiancheng's house, he saw seven or eight people sitting at the table of eight immortals at the door of the hall, although these seven or eight people were not the leading figures in the village, Lao Mu felt that these people must have a good relationship with Tiancheng, so they were invited to eat together.

Everyone stood up when they saw Lao Mu coming in, and everyone seemed to have some respect for this Lao Mu who was teaching in the school, after all, there were few people here who were educated, and there were no people like Lao Mu who had such a high level of education, so everyone greeted him politely.

Lao Mu looked around at the people sitting around the table, and felt very puzzled, these people are ordinary villagers, and there is nothing special in them, what is the purpose of the old classmate inviting such a few people?

Lao Mu also politely replied to everyone. When he was pulling the family routine, another person came in with Tiancheng outside the door, everyone knew him, this is Bu San who has been slaughtering in the place of borrowing Xiaowangzhuang these days, what is he doing? This makes Lao Mu even more confused, this is a dinner party for the people in the village, and let Bu San come to the east to entertain him?

Although everyone showed a blank face, out of courtesy, everyone stood up very politely when they saw Tiancheng come back.

Wang Tiancheng saw everyone's doubts, took Bu San's hand and explained: " Today, please come, there is no one else, mainly the neighbors who helped me build a pigsty at that time, Brother Bu is a noble person I invited, he slaughtered here in us, in fact, to help me, if I really let me kill so many pigs, I am really worried about sales, and he with many years of sales experience, not only sold very well, but also from other places to pull a lot of pigs to slaughter in our place, and all sold a little left, and will be a noble person in my life, so I invited to sit down and talk about it. ”

Only then did Lao Mu understand that this banquet was a thanksgiving banquet. And the biggest help is Bu San in front of him, Lao Mu is contemplative, Tiancheng politely asked Bu San to sit next to the seat reserved for him, this seat is a VIP seat.

"I'll just sit down, there's no need to be so polite!" he said, taking a seat next to the door.

Tiancheng hurriedly grabbed him: "Today's seat is reserved for you, if you don't sit, there will be someone sitting there?"

Everyone echoed in unison: "Yes, yes!"

Bu San couldn't refuse, so he sat down on the VIP seat in everyone's eyes.

"Today's dinner, I asked everyone to come, just to thank everyone for their support!" Tiancheng said a little excitedly.

As soon as Tiancheng's command to "serve" came out, in a few minutes, a table of sumptuous dishes filled the table, and Tiancheng took out the rice wine that had been prepared and poured the cups in front of each person.

"This first wine, I congratulate everyone on a happy Spring Festival! I took the lead in doing it!" After speaking, he raised his neck, and the three-dollar wine was down.

Everyone's hands in the same way raise their glasses, sipping them in front of their mouths, and their faces are dry.

"This second wine is a side hustle for me, everyone has contributed money, contributed efforts, and expressed gratitude for the support and help given!"

Everyone still drank dry.

After two glasses of wine, Tiancheng picked up the chopsticks in front of him: "It's also morning, please eat first!"

Everyone was slightly polite and began to pick up the dishes in front of them.

After three rounds of wine, Bu Sanling took the lead and raised the wine glass: "I have been busy here these days, and the help given by everyone has made me unforgettable for life.

After drinking the wine, Bu San casually took out a thick paper bag from the bag, put it on the table and pushed it to Tiancheng who was sitting next to him: "Let's witness, this is my pig money for Brother Tiancheng, if there is no help from Brother Tiancheng these days, how can I make a little money before the festival?"

Everyone drank very happily, unconsciously had drunk for more than two hours, a few plates of meat dishes had seen the bottom, everyone was full of wine and food and ready to leave, Tiancheng took out the red envelopes that had been prepared and handed them to everyone.

"Don't see the outside, no matter how much, it is a part of my natural heart, these days, everyone has contributed to my pigsty, without everyone's help, my natural pigsty is not as smooth as today, everyone help me, how dare I forget, one day I will really get rich, give everyone a bigger red envelope!" Tiancheng said with two hands in front of a big circle.

After taking the red envelope in Tiancheng's hand, everyone was very surprised, in everyone's opinion, neighbors help each other, that is what it should be, not to mention that Tiancheng usually helps everyone solve practical problems in life.

Everyone felt embarrassed and politely greeted each other before slowly putting away their red envelopes and going home.

After returning home, Lao Mu gently opened the red envelope, the brand-new ten-yuan bill, he hurriedly twisted it, a total of three, these three banknotes were his salary at school for two months, and he hurriedly showed it to Xiuhua.

"Let's go to help in the past half a year, I never thought about taking his money in my heart, I think that the neighbors should help, you see that Tiancheng is really a caring person, and if you have money, you don't forget everyone, and give everyone a red envelope, if there is anything in the next step, there will be more help!" Although Xiuhua said that he didn't need money to help, but getting this red envelope did feel like a spring breeze, full of warmth.

"My classmate is not an ordinary person, you see that he is not only busy raising pigs, in order to raise pigs well and master the technology, he also enrolled in the county agricultural school to study, and the knowledge he learned is used in his own pigsty, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!" Lao Mu said a little proudly.

"He was originally a powerful man, you see that he usually handles the affairs of the village, in an orderly manner, no one does not praise him, and he gives out red envelopes like this during the Spring Festival, and there will be people who are willing to help him in whatever he wants to do in the future!" Xiuhua said very seriously.

Lao Mu was silent in thought, but in Lao Mu's heart, this classmate who admired him very much back then will have a bright future in the future!

After the joy, the old Mu family did not immerse themselves in the festive New Year, but paid more attention to the scabies on Mu Zhen's body, even on the first day of the Lunar New Year, they did not dare to take it lightly. Drying quilts, ironing, bathing, and applying medicine, none of them is missing, Mu Zhen found that the scabies on her body has been reduced exponentially, and there is no new occurrence, and the scabies "war" on Mu Zhen's body is about to be won, and Mu Zhen's mood has also become better. This incident made Mu Zhen understand a simple truth - the whole family works together, pushing mountains and mountains falls, and it is not difficult to change water.
