Time flickered, the vegetables in the vegetable field were ripe, the mountains and fields on the bank of the river had been a large area of yellow, the south wind turned north, the leaves on the trees trembled in the wind, the leaf roots had turned yellow, only a little leaf tip was still a little green, from time to time there were leaves torn off the tree by the wind, dancing with the wind a few times, falling to the ground, telling people that it was late autumn. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Autumn in the Northeast is beautiful, the ripe crops in the fields are the greenest in their lives, and the wild grasses on the mountains have been haggard and yellow, and their waists are also low, gradually withering to the end of their lives. The trees on the mountain stand straight under the vast sky, the coniferous pines and cypresses are even more verdant, thick and black, but there are still new green leaves on the broad-leaved trees, but most of the leaves have turned red, the old leaves have withered and begun to fall off, from a distance, several kinds of leaves, thick or light, are crowded together, swaying in the wind, one after another.

The river will appear bluer, deeper, and cool in the wind. The temperature difference between morning and evening can reach 10 degrees, which is the season of messy dressing.

At that time, people in the Northeast were busy preparing winter dishes as soon as autumn began.

The wind was cool in September, frost in October, and the snow began to fall at the end of October and November, and the land could no longer produce anything, and entered a seven-month rest period. Since September, regardless of the city and the countryside, whether poor or rich, every family has begun to enter a busy state, the countryside is busy harvesting from the field, the city is busy buying from the non-staple food store, green onions, cabbage, radish, potatoes, these are the main four things, sweet potato, eggplant, cucumber, cowpea, kidney beans (called green beans in the south), peppers These are depending on luck, sometimes you can buy it, but most of the time there is no goods, or grab a little bit, eat a few meals and it is gone.

If you can buy it, you don't want to eat it directly, boil the eggplant in a large pot until it is eight ripe, and then dry it in the autumn sun, cut the cowpea from the middle, dry it, and the kidney beans can be boiled or dried directly, anyway, it is made dry, and then put it away, and wait until the snow is heavy in winter to take it out and eat. At that time, those who could cook these kinds of winter food were generally relatively wealthy families. Ordinary people either get a piece of land and plant it themselves, or there are immediate family members in the countryside who have received some from the field and sent some to large and small bags, but there will not be many of them.

At that time, there were actually a few vegetables in the whole Northeast in winter: green onions, cabbage, radish, and potatoes. Generally, it is bought back from hundreds of catties and hundreds of catties, and it is very common to buy a home of thousands of catties because it is cabbage.

The green onion pulls up the green onion leaves, a few bundles, hangs them under the eaves with wire, and puts the radish potatoes in the vegetable cellar, generally digging a pit three or four meters deep underground, and building a strong top on it, and covering the top with more than one meter thick soil, in order to play the role of storage, leaving only a hole that can barely drill a person.

Cabbage is more complicated, first pick a hundred and ten pounds of good out, cut off the old leaves, and then put it into the vegetable cellar, called yellow seedlings, generally you can eat until November, because cabbage is easy to rot, can not be put for a long time.

The rest of the cabbage is used to pickle the sauerkraut.

Peel off the old leaves of the cabbage, cut the roots, then boil water in a large pot, put the trimmed cabbage roots down into the pot and boil, take them out when the cabbage is just hot and the leaves are slightly curled, and stack them in the open clay jar.

When it is hot, the heat is very important, the stamen is still cold and fished out, it is not easy to be sour, it is sour slowly, others have eaten it, your house has not reacted, it is easy to break the meal, there is no food to eat, and it tastes very hard. The sauerkraut must be ready before it is opened, that is, it can be fished out and eaten, otherwise it will be all bad.

It's not good if it's too hot and too cooked, it's sour and fast, but it's easy to rot, this thing is rotten in a tank, and no one runs.

And when the yard is in the jar, the vegetable leaves should be pinched tightly and rolled to the roots, and then the roots of one by one are squeezed outward, and the yards are very tight, generally a layer of yards, and then adults put on the clean rain boots and stand in it and step down, and feel loose to add a few more. Yard a good layer, sprinkle some large salt, refined salt is not good, can not be made sauerkraut, not delicious.

In fact, salt is mainly used for antiseptic, and the antiseptic function of refined salt is weaker.

A pot yard is good, the cabbage should be three to four layers higher than the cylinder mouth, from the cylinder mouth to the inside ladder layer by layer, and finally, on the top of the stacked vegetables, put a small bean stone. The weight of the adzuki bean stone depends on the size of the tank, such as the No. 1 cylinder, which uses about 30 catties of stones. You can only put a complete stone in a tank, and you can't put several small pieces in this way, if you can't hold it down, it will rot.

Azuki stone is the kind of stone section that looks like a bunch of adzuki beans squeezed together, blue-gray, and heavier than ordinary stones. Why put azuki stone instead of other stones, I don't know, the ancestors have been passed down from generation to generation, and a stone will be used from generation to generation year after year. My grandmother's stone has been used for at least 100 years, and the water soaked in the stone is sour.

After the cabbage is loaded and pressed, it is placed outdoors, sometimes the temperature is too low, and the tank has to be dressed in cotton clothes. I don't think how to live in a bungalow, every family has a yard, and then I went upstairs, a sauerkraut jar at the door of my house, and when I entered the building in winter, the taste of the whole corridor was called a sour. After the sauerkraut stain is good, it smells sour.

At that time, life in the city was more miserable than in the countryside, there was not enough food, there was not enough food, there was not enough vegetables, and there was no way to buy it, and as long as there was a piece of land in the countryside, the vegetables could be eaten and planted, and they could still eat enough, so many people in that era tried every means to go to the countryside, saying that they would not go to the city to work as workers.

But there are also benefits in the city.

Zhang Xingming's father is an employee of the concentrator plant, and as soon as September enters every year, the benefits come.

Each employee, 10 catties of eggs, 20 catties of pork, 10 catties of beef, 10 catties of saury, 10 catties of cod, 20 catties of soybean oil, 5 catties of more than 10 centimeters of bamboo shrimp, 5 catties of shrimp chips, 50 catties of white flour, and 100 catties of rice. 100 catties of green onions, sometimes 200 catties. 500 catties of cabbage, sometimes 800 catties. 200 catties or 300 catties of potatoes. Fifty pounds of apples and fifty pounds of autumn pears. There are also vermicelli, yuba, kelp, radish, and sometimes one or two more, fixed every year.

From September to the end of November, the workers kept carrying things to their homes, dividing this today and that tomorrow, and it was lively until the end of the year. Every household is jubilant, the things are taken back, and several families come together to clean up, this is the New Year's goods, and when they are packed up, it will be the end of the year.

By 95 years, eggs were ten catties per worker per month, and the annual pigs, beef and mutton were twenty catties or more, and the most in memory was forty catties. There are also many varieties of fish, not only cod, but also mackerel, squid, yellow croaker, crystal fish (voice, I don't know what it is called, pike sea fish, silvery-white, delicious). The eggs are carried with folding nets, metal, one per month, and at the end of the year, some people collect them everywhere, a few dollars a piece.

In addition to the factory's distribution, such as green onions, potatoes and cabbage, each family still has to buy it, and the distribution is not enough.

At the end of September and the beginning of October, Zhang Xingming's family went to the neighboring countryside to directly contract land and buy a few ridges of cabbage. The vegetable ridges in the northeast are generally very long, generally several hundred meters, and kilometers are also very common.

After setting the ridge and paying the money, the whole family mobilized, pulled up the cart (the same size as the standard ox cart, pushed and pulled by manpower), brought a kitchen knife, Zhang Xingming and his brother sat on the car, the father and mother pushed and pulled one by one, and walked a few kilometers from home to the place where they bought vegetables, and then the parents cut the vegetables, Zhang Xingming and his brother hugged the car, and wanted to put the cabbage on the cart neatly and neatly.

Cutting cabbage is a tiring job, (as if there is no work in the field that is not tired) people have to squat, hold the cabbage with one hand, and cut off the root of the cabbage with the kitchen knife with the other hand, that is, it can not hurt the vegetables, and it cannot be rooted, and then keep moving forward, forward. It is not possible to squat down all the time, it will greatly reduce the work efficiency, and if you squat together, people are more likely to get tired.

When the yard is full of a car, you have to pull it back, use a soft rope to pull the cabbage together, my father pulls it back alone, my mother stays in the ground and continues to cut, Zhang Xingming and my brother also continue to hug, pile up a pile on the ground, and wait for the car to come back and then load. Later, when they were older, one stayed here to hug them, and the other had to follow the car to help push them.

Generally, it is almost the same for two or three trips, and this amount is quite accurate for each family, and there are few that are not enough or exceed too much.

When the last car was held, it must have been dark, the cold wind was whining, and I felt that my face was spicy and spicy, there were no street lights at that time, there were no entertainment venues, and it was pitch black everywhere. Occasionally, the lights of someone's house are only a bright spot in the dimness, and no one is willing to use a large light bulb, which can't shine outside the room at all.

Mom and Dad pushed and pulled one by one, Zhang Xingming and his brother stumbled and followed behind, and at first they would usually push for a while, but they were too small and soon couldn't keep up, so they pulled their mother's clothes and followed, and they couldn't see the road under their feet at all.

When the cabbage is bought, it is necessary to save it, that is, to re-stack it, and it must be breathable, otherwise it will be hot, that is, the internal heat of the vegetable pile, and the vegetables are particularly easy to rot. It is said that vegetables and fruits have this characteristic, they are particularly easy to heat, and once heated, they rot very quickly, and a lot of them will rot in one night.

Where does it get its heat? I don't know.

Cooking and eating is to stack the cabbage well, and the children are hungry and screaming to eat these days every year.

The next day, my father set up a large pot in the yard, the diameter of the pot mouth was more than one meter two, poured half a pot of water, and began to boil. This should be burned with split wood, not coal. My mother was cleaning the tank on the side, and the tank had to be cleaned, and there could be no oil or water. It's a strange thing, and it's understandable that there can't be oil, but it's clear that the food is blanched with water, so why can't there be water?

Then Zhang Xingming and his brother began to hold the cabbage, put it in the pot, and then carried the scalded one to the side of the pot in a basin.

Mom is hot, dad yards the tank, it takes half a day to get it done, and then press the cleaned bean stone, and this year's sauerkraut will be stained.

Speaking of the yard jar, there is a joy here, but I don't know why, everyone says that people who usually have a sour personality yard jar, sauerkraut will be sour fast, and delicious. And in the Northeast, it is derogatory to say that people have a sour face. A sour face refers to a person who is small-minded, especially angry, calculating, and stingy.

Then in the factory, you can always hear: "Lao Wang, go to my house tomorrow to help the yard cylinder." ”“…… Grass nib. ”

Or: "Hey, Lao Li's sauerkraut is delicious, and it is sour fast." ”“…… Grass nib. ”

Or: "Oh, you've all eaten, and I haven't foamed yet." ”“…… Roll Ni", this is a group mockery mode.

The sauerkraut is stained, and the things in the factory are divided, and it is already time to wrap in silver makeup.

Snow is always sudden.

One morning, you wake up with a hint of freshness in the air, even if you're still under the covers. Put on your clothes, roll up the thick cotton curtain on the window, and the dazzling white light will shine through the glass into your eyes. At this time, the glass window must be translucent and frosted. The adult said, "Oh, it's snowing." The child jumped and cried, "It's snowing, it's snowing." "I got out of the bed and pulled my clothes in a hurry.

After getting dressed and washing their faces, adults and children will run outside, adults will go out to see if there is anything crushed by the snow, the snow on the road in the yard will be cleared, and the children will simply go out to play, shoot snowmen, build snowmen, hit snow poles, and just step on a series of footprints on the snow are full of fun.

At that time, it was normal for the snow to be tens of centimeters thick, and sometimes a heavy snowfall was nearly a meter deep, and it was normal to crush a tree, a house or a cowshed and pigsty. After 2000, the snow was not so thick, and the temperature was increasing every year, but after 2010, the snow also fell less, and the temperature was only minus ten degrees, which is no longer like winter in the Northeast.

Going out on a snowy morning is a lot of effort, and the snow will block the door, and it takes a lot of effort to push the door open. Sometimes the snow is so heavy that you have to be outside to shovel the snow before you can open the door, and it is not okay to jump out of the window, and in winter you have to use thick plastic sheeting to seal the whole window from the outside.

The adults in the neighborhood are holding wooden shovels or shovels, and their mouths are spraying heavy white gas to remove the snow, in their own yards, on the roads outside, in the yards of neighbors where there are few people or only the elderly are at home, and on the roofs of pigsty and chicken coops. Thirty or forty centimeters of snow is very tiring to shovel, and after a while, someone will take off the padded jacket and put it on the roadside fence or railing, and the whole upper body will emit white smoke.

I've always seen books about snow sweeping, and I've seen snow sweeping with a big bamboo broom on TV, but the snow really can't be swept with a sweep, and it can't be swept at all. Unless it's just a little bit down, a centimeter or two thick.

The cleared snow is piled up in vegetable patches or low-lying places on the side of the road, and it will turn into water at the beginning of the next spring, so there is no need to bother to carry it away.

Winter days in the Northeast are very short, the sky does not light until nearly seven o'clock in the morning, and it starts to get dark at half past four in the afternoon, but after the snow, you can see everything when it is dark, but it is not as clear as during the day.

When it snows heavily, the whole world becomes black and white.

The ditches were filled, the river was hidden, the houses, the walls, the trees, everything was pressed under the thick color of snow. The plan is white, the bevel and façade are black.

Walking on the snow will be very tired, and the whole body must exert force, otherwise it will fall. If it is new snow, you have to tie up the corners of your pants, otherwise the snow will go into your shoes and pants after a few steps, and melt into ice water, and when you walk up, it will only be wet and nothing, as long as you stop and stand for a while, you can freeze your whole feet and calves into an ice lump and lose consciousness in ten minutes.

Once the foot is unconscious, the person will fall when walking, and without a sense of balance, the severe toes will rot.

At that time, there were many people who froze off their noses, ears, and toes because of carelessness. Of course, most of them will not be so serious, but, as long as it is frozen, when you enter the house a little warmer, the frozen part will quickly warm up, that kind of itch, called itching to the bone, itching in the itch and still sandwiched pain, the more it hurts, the more itchy, you can't touch it, you can't scratch it, that taste, that is the life and death recipe of Tianshan Tong in Tianlong Babu.

Jin Yong must have been frozen.

Frostbite is terrible, at first I just feel a little cold, and it hurts a little for a while, but this will be just freezing, not hurt, just frozen, if you don't care, feel that you are not afraid or can hold on, then you will lose consciousness, and slowly it will not be cold or painful, and it will hurt.

Once frostbite is no way, gently rub it with snow, don't go to a place where the temperature is too high, slow it down, and when you feel the itch, there is a certain possibility of recovery, but it hurts for a few days, and it hurts to the bone. Those who are seriously injured will die, and when they are warm, they will fall off. If you fall off, you will have no problem if you raise it for a period of time with some medicine, which is also lucky, but the bad thing is that it is not over, and it will suppurate or drip yellow water after it is warmed up, and you may have to amputate it again.

When a snow falls, the world changes its appearance, and the next day will be the next one from time to time, and gradually the vegetable garden and both sides of the road will become huge snowdrifts, and children walking on the road are not as high as the snow walls on the side of the road. Adults who love to move will take a shovel to pat the snowdrift to repair the shape, and slowly pour water on it, it becomes a slide, and every day there are children dressed like zongzi on it screaming and sliding down, and then clumsily climbing up.

The winter after the snow is very clean, and no matter how much you roll and fall, you won't get dirty clothes.

After the snow has passed, it will be a little colder than before the snow, and the wind has become bitter, and the north wind is always sandwiched with a puff of snow chips, whirling, whining, sticking to the top of the ground and constantly skimming, blowing on the face like grinding with sandpaper, painful and painful.

Zhang Xingming's house is the top of this family area, and further down is a large vegetable field, with dozens of hundred and eight acres. The vegetable field used to be a highway, and then the highway was a fine river, the river surface was 34 meters wide, and the people who lived on both sides of the river were basically the rural households who moved back to the factory area, and each factory also gave a place to work, belonging to the large collective, and the treatment was much worse than that of the whole people, and there were many fewer things during the New Year.

These rural households have land, but they only grow vegetables, mainly for the workers' families in the factory, and the land is allocated by the factory.

The toilet and the boiler room are next to each other, and the water in the boiler room is non-stop all year round, flowing from the ditch less than one meter wide in front of each house, flowing into a larger horizontal ditch on the edge of the vegetable field, and then along the edge of the vegetable field zigzag into the canal in front of the school, the top of the canal is connected to the boiler room of the bathhouse, from the front of the school gate, through a self-built house, across the road, into the fine river.

In winter, the vegetable patch is covered with a thick layer of snow, and the north wind howls in this open space, and the snow forms a hard shell in the wind, and children will not collapse when they run on it.

The water in the boiler room has turned a corner here, and because the ice in the water is constantly thickening, the water will come out of the bend and freeze into ice, and the ice surface will continue to expand, and sometimes the whole vegetable field here is more than half of the mirror-like ice surface.

So it became a paradise for children, from a few years old to a teenager, three or two together, seven or eight together, gathered on the ice to play ice paddling, playing with earth skates and one-legged donkeys, and those who had a way to get skates and ice swords from the factory would be surrounded by a bunch of people to please them, just to play for a few minutes.

Soil skates are tied to the sole of the shoe with a thin piece of bamboo, which also needs to be technical, that is, to tie firmly, but not to let the rope touch the ice, then it will not slide. Adults don't care about these things, that is, the children themselves are thinking about it, and naturally they have a good one, and they have become recognized masters by all children, and they are complimented by everyone, so that he can help them get it for themselves.

The one-legged donkey is not something that children can play with, this thing is a wooden board that is slightly longer and wider than the feet together, and a wooden square is nailed horizontally in front of the board to prevent the feet from slipping out of the front. In the middle of the plank, a wooden plank is erected, the top is high and the bottom is low, the top is sandwiched between the two feet, and the bottom is the single leg used for skating, and a steel bar should be fixed on it to increase the sliding force.

The man stepped on it with both feet, clamped the vertical plate in the middle, and slid against the steel bar on one leg below. But that's not enough, you can't stand up, and if you go up, you'll fall. You have to use thicker steel bars, sharpen one end, and put a round wooden handle on the other end to make a snow pole, hold the snow pole in both hands to maintain balance, squat on top of the one-legged donkey, and then use the ski pole to exert power, and then slide up.

This game is very fast, not only the balance of the person playing is quite high, but also the production process is also very high, so there is a one-legged donkey and can skate well, it is quite awesome. Often a dozen children stay on the side, taking everyone's turn to skate for a while, there is no timer, and they will be replaced when they are down. There are also people who are more independent, so they skate by themselves and don't play with others, but everyone doesn't like him for such a child, and they don't usually look for him when they play.

Every day on the ice, shouts and laughter drift far away from the north wind.

Sleep a warm nap on the warm kang, everything is so beautiful. Zhang Xingming rubbed his eyes and sat up from the small quilt, looked around, and got off by himself, clumsily put on a small cotton jacket, lay on the edge of the kang and looked down, did not find the shoes, thought that it was put on the stove by his father or mother to bake, looked down and looked for it, only a pair of big scalp cotton shoes of his father, climbed down from the kang with both hands, groped with his feet to find his father's big shoes, stepped on his feet, and dragged out of the house with laborious dragging.

In the dimly lit kitchen, only Sister Ping was tinkering with what she was eating, Zhang Xingming yawned and asked, "Miss, where is my brother?"

Sister Ping shook her head towards the gate and said, "I was still in the courtyard just now, so I'll go skating on the earth with your second brother and them." ”

Zhang Xingming looked at the stove, Sister Ping was eating baked potatoes, and she was not interested, so she dragged her big shoes into the heavy door curtain, pushed open the door vigorously, and came to the courtyard.

It was silvery white outside, Zhang Xingming shrunk his neck and squinted his eyes to look around, no one, no one was in the nest.

Tightening his cuffs, he dragged his father's big shoes and walked out of the courtyard, wanting to go to the side to find his brother.

The exit of the path in the yard is connected to the avenue outside, which is a small slope, not too steep, but the shoes Zhang Xingming was wearing today were too heavy, causing him to take just two steps up the slope before he couldn't control it, and fell face down on the ice and snow pavement.

I didn't feel much pain, but Zhang Xingming knew that he was going to the hospital for stitches, and what happened in his previous life still hasn't been avoided in this life, which is simply a fatal injury.

The heavy scalp cotton shoes fell on his feet, and he struggled a few times to get up, but he couldn't do it at all, and the blood trickled down his head and dripped onto the ice, and the moment it dropped, it condensed into ice, red ice flowers one by one.

"Oh mom, Erming. Like in the previous life, the eldest sister was the first to find him, ran over in a panic, threw away the things in her hand, fell beside him, and didn't care about the pain, picked up Zhang Xingming and hugged him in her arms, saw that his forehead was still bleeding, took off his gloves and turned over and pressed them on the wound, covering them tightly. This is for fear that the wound will freeze.

may be too flustered, the eldest sister hugged Zhang Xingming, and had to help him cover his wounds, but she couldn't stand up after several efforts, and sat on the ice in a hurry and shouted: "Xiaoping, Xiaoping." Little Lizi. "At this time, only Sister Ping and the second brother were in the house, and of course the elder brother was there, but he was too young and was ignored.

The windows were sealed, and there were thick cotton curtains, although it was only more than ten meters away, she still shouted a few times before Sister Ping pushed open the door of the outhouse and showed her head to look here. The second brother and his brother were still playing on the ice on the other side of the earth, and only Sister Ping was in the house.

"What's the matter?" Sister Ping ran out with her cotton shoes and threw away the potatoes in her hand.

"As soon as I came in, I saw Er Ming lying here, with a big hole stuck in his head, what are you doing, don't you look at it, ah?" The eldest sister was very angry, her face was red, and she yelled at Sister Ping. (Card: Fall)

Sister Ping was a little flustered, this matter was indeed her fault: "What's the matter? I didn't look at it, I watched it alone for most of the day, and I just turned around." ”

"Help me up. The eldest sister glared at Sister Ping. Sister Ping remembered that the eldest sister was still sitting on the ground, and reached out to hold the eldest sister's arm and pulled the eldest sister up with Zhang Xingming. "Pick up the things back, I'll take Erming to the hospital, and when my aunt comes back, you will say it, so don't worry about it." The eldest sister crackled and arranged it, hugged Zhang Xingming and went to the hospital.

Sister Ping was stunned for a moment, ran over and picked up the thing that the eldest sister had just thrown on the ground, thought about it, turned her head and ran to the head of the room, and shouted at the earth: "Second brother, Xiao Lizi, come back quickly." The second brother pulled his brother over the ice with one hand, and white smoke came out of the heads of the two of them.

"What's wrong?" the second brother asked.

Sister Ping stretched out her hand and said, "Give me Xiaojun, you go and chase the eldest sister, Erming is stuck, and the eldest sister is carrying her to the hospital." ”

"Huh?" The second brother picked up his brother and walked to the ground and handed it to Sister Ping, ran away, ran two steps and came back, and said, "Give me some money, do you have any money?" Sister Ping took out two yuan and a few cents in her pocket, and handed it to the second brother, and the second brother ran away after the money and went to chase the eldest sister.

The second brother ran away, and Sister Ping reacted, hugged her brother and shouted: "The eldest sister is rich, you take my money?"

There are more than two miles from Zhang Xingming's house to Guobao Hospital, which is not far, but it is not so easy to hold a child in this north wind and snow. When the second brother caught up with the eldest sister, he was almost at the grain station, and the eldest sister almost ran all the way here with Zhang Xingming.

The second brother caught up, took Zhang Xingming from the eldest sister's hand, pressed the glove covering Zhang Xingming's head with one hand, and asked as he walked: "The card is very powerful?" The eldest sister was full of sweat, and the white breath exhaled was half a meter long, and she panted and said: "There is a big hole on the door of the head, and I can't see the blood clearly, it's not light." You said Xiaoping, you can't watch a child, why did Aunt Zhang say this when she came back. ”

Zhang Xingming was very moved in his heart, thinking about it, in his last life, the eldest sister ran to the hospital with her, stretched out her little hand to wipe the sweat on the eldest sister's head, and said, "It's okay sister, it's not serious, don't worry." The eldest sister clenched his little hand and said, "Erming is really sensible, don't worry, don't be afraid, just wipe some two hundred and two." ”

When I arrived at the hospital, I didn't register, I rushed directly into the surgical outpatient room, Dr. Zhang was wearing glasses, was sitting there reading the newspaper, looked up at them, and asked, "What's wrong with this child?" and stood up.

"It's stuck, the brain door card is broken, Uncle Zhang, take a look, there's a lot of blood. The eldest sister dragged the second brother to Dr. Zhang.

Dr. Zhang lifted the glove with his hand, which was already stuck to the wound, turned around to find the salt water, and said in his mouth: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's not a big deal, the child is getting better quickly." I took the saline solution, dipped it in a cotton swab, moistened the gloves little by little, and shook Zhang Xingming's head from side to side to look, "Whose child is this?

This is a staff hospital, and the people who work in the hospital also live in the family area, and basically know each other.

The eldest sister took the gloves and put them in her pocket, and said, "My Uncle Zhang's second child, my Xiaoping didn't take care of it, and when I went to the courtyard by myself, I was stuck, seriously Uncle Zhang?"

Dr. Zhang checked it, put the salt water on the table with his hand, and said, "It's not frozen, the opening is a little big, you have to get a few stitches, it's okay, it's fine in a few days." "So I went to the cupboard by the wall and got something.

The eldest sister was stunned for a moment and said, "Mom, it's not serious to get stitches? This can't be a scar? Zhang Xingming leaned over and touched the eldest sister's face and said, "It's okay, eldest sister, I don't hurt, don't worry." ”

Doctor Zhang took out a flange from the cabinet, listened to Zhang Xingming's words, and said: "This little toy is very sensible, your house is right? Is his father the one who transferred from the cadre, Zhang, Zhang Qingzhi, right?" The eldest sister held Zhang Xingming's hand and said, "Yes, it's my Uncle Zhang." ”

Dr. Zhang was holding a dark blue thin needle, which was an anesthetic needle. Pushed, shook it, held Zhang Xingming's head with one hand, and said, "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt after this injection." I know his father, an old soldier, and he is also an honest man. As he spoke, he pricked Zhang Xingming's wound twice and put the anesthetic needle back into the flange.

"This time, the factory revolutionary committee held a meeting and pushed him out, he was too honest and bullied. Dr. Zhang took the tweezers and threaded the thread, and said to the eldest sister.

"Ah, then my Uncle Zhang is not a cadre anymore?" the eldest sister asked in surprise.

"It's still now, it's hard to say it in the future, who knows, in this world, it's hard to say anything, anyway, honest people will suffer a big loss. After putting on the thread, Dr. Zhang stretched out his hand and pressed it on Zhang Xingming's head, and said to the second brother: "Hold it, don't shake it." The second brother agreed, leaning back on the desk to make himself more stable.

After three stitches, it didn't hurt to take the anesthetic, and the numbness and itching were over, Dr. Zhang wrapped it with a yellow medicine cloth again, pasted it with white tape, and said while cleaning up things: "Okay, go back, just raise it for a few days, look good these days, don't tell the little guy to go out, don't freeze." Three days to remove the stitches. ”

The eldest sister went to dig out her pocket and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhang, how much?"

Dr. Zhang put the flange back in the cabinet, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, what money is, and there is no medicine." The eldest sister thanked her, and the second brother took off her hat and put it on Zhang Xingming's head, covered the wound, and the three of them went home from the hospital.

At that time, the medical treatment of employees was free, and the system of immediate family members was half price, but they were not implemented very seriously, they were all minor problems, and major illnesses would not be seen here.

At that time, the welfare of all employees was really good, like Zhang Xingming, as soon as he was born, his father had a few more money in his salary, washing fees, for cutting hair and bathing, non-staple food subsidies, for buying vegetables and meat, the two things added up to more than seven yuan, at that time it was really not a small money, and half of the medical treatment factory was paid, and the school factory was free, no wonder the workers of that era could really love the factory like home, this is a home.

When I got home, it was already dark, my parents had returned, and Sister Ping was admitting her mistake there.

The mother hugged Zhang Xingming over, took off his hat, wrapped the wound, and couldn't see it, just looked at it distressedly, Zhang Xingming said: "It's okay, just break some skin, I ran out while Miss didn't pay attention, and I don't complain about Miss." The eldest sister said: "I had three stitches, and Dr. Zhang said that the injury was not serious, but the break was a bit big, and the stitches were fast." ”

The eldest sister shook her head and said, "I didn't spend any money." Tired is not tired, walking a few steps, but that scare is enough to choke, at that time my legs are weak, I can't stand up. ”

Dad opened the door and took a look at it and said, "It's okay, eat." ”

Everyone was eating, and the matter passed like this, leaving behind the scar on Zhang Xingming's forehead.

Meal.

Sister Ping: "Second brother, did you forget something?"

Second brother: "What's the matter?"

"Think about it. ”“……”

"Do you remember?" "What's the matter?"

Gritted his teeth: "You give me back my money." "What's the money?"

"Do you want to give it?" "What's the matter?"

"Money. "What's the money?" ............
