Chapter 22 The Old Man Has Something to Do

Chinese New Year's Eve, Huang Chenglong's family returned to Zuozhou for the New Year, and by the way, Liu Dehou and Chen Xiaomei were sent to Qingshan, in order not to affect Huang Chenglong to go home for the New Year, at the fork in the road not far from Qingshan County, Chen Weizheng waited with two children.

It didn't take long for the car to arrive, not the usual four laps, but a car that was overbearing. Liu Dehou and his wife got out of the car, said goodbye to Huang Chenglong, and asked him to hurry up. There are 40 kilometers of national highway from Qingshan to Zuozhou, from Zuozhou County to Huang Chenglong's home, there are 20 kilometers of mountain road, this mountain road is very difficult to walk, it is estimated that Huang Chenglong arrived at home, and it was almost dark.

Liu Dehou was very happy to see the two children, and touched Liu Songzhao's head very rarely, which made Liu Songzhao a little flattered. Chen Xiaomei was carrying a delicate small gift box in her hand, which was the red belt red shorts and red tie bought for Chen Weizheng.

Get in the car, go back, and prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The Chinese New Year's Eve meal is very simple, a yellow-haired chicken stew, added to the secret recipe prepared by Liu Da Chinese medicine himself, becomes a high-grade medicinal meal, placed on the induction cooker, and slowly simmered.

When Grandma Chen saw the cod, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, cut it into pieces and marinated it, baked it in the oven, and made some egg whites to make hibiscus eggs for the bottom plating, and threw a few coriander on it, the color and fragrance were good.

Grandma Liu became interested in the prawns, and studied several plans with Old Man Liu and overturned them one by one, and finally boiled.

Chen Xiaomei has been a daughter-in-law in Liu's family for many years, and she also learned a few hands from Grandma Liu, and she is stuffed with scallop and glutinous rice.

Steaming a sea bass, the New Year must have a head and a tail. Grandma Liu's chef.

A cold dish of cashew nut beef offal pot and a cold dish of sour radish are the handiwork of Mr. Chen.

Vegetarian dishes and stir-fried dishes are not listed one by one.

A chicken, a knife of meat, a fish, burn incense and paper, and worship the gods. Then the world moves.

At night, Chen Weizheng and Liu Songzhao shared a room, and Liu Dehou and his wife lived in Chen Weizheng's room, which had been occupied by Xiaozhu, and drove Xiaozhu to the Luohan bed in the study. At nine o'clock, in everyone's surprised eyes, Liu Songzhao said good night to everyone and went back to sleep. He has completely adapted to this kind of life, and what Spring Festival Gala or the sound of cannons in the middle of the night has nothing to do with him.

On the first day of junior high school as usual, Komatsu Xiaozhu got up on time and practiced in the yard, Liu Dehou glanced at the window on the second floor, couldn't help it, and walked down in formal clothes. Chen Xiaomei also followed, saw Liu Dehou dancing with his hands and feet, and said: "If you really want to move, you will go to the market to buy a set of copycat sportswear and come back." ”

"Then you don't move?" Liu Dehou said.

"I'm going to go and make it early." Chen Xiaomei escaped.

After breakfast, Chen Weizheng took the two young ones to the family of the six old men and three widows to pay New Year's greetings. The New Year's gifts were sent over a year ago, and Chen Weizheng gave 300 yuan to each family, as well as rice noodles and sugar cakes. Let the handler be very polite.

Chen Weizheng's move made a large number of juniors who came back from migrant workers very passive, and several Uyghur generations also joined forces and jointly gave gift packages to the older generation. Let the older generation make a small fortune, and also make the New Year's atmosphere in Chen Village this year particularly good. The older generation has also raised the New Year's greeting package from two yuan in the past to an unprecedented five yuan. Let all the children and teenagers shout: "Get rich!" ”

This time you can go empty-handed, firecrackers are wanted, and you want to set off firecrackers when you enter the door, and someone will come to greet you when you hear the sound of cannons. Worship all the way, drink sweet wine all the way, walk nine houses, and feel a little drunk. On the way home, I heard a little kid spreading: Come to Uncle Weizheng's house to pay New Year's greetings, Aunt Xiaomei, Aunt and Grandpa and four ancestors, worship a round of six red envelopes, each with ten yuan.

Each person gave out more than 100 packets, and the four old ones were satisfied. Liu Lao TCM said: "I haven't made so many envelopes for many years, and it's really soft to send envelopes." ”

"This custom in the countryside is not good, and if the economic ability is poor, it will become a burden." Liu Dehou said.

"Once a year during the Chinese New Year, we will save all year round and squander it. This is China's national condition. Old man Chen said.

"I think it's good, do what you can, fight more if you have money, and fight less if you don't have money." Grandma Chen is more pragmatic.

"This is difficult, people are afraid of comparison, and if you compare, you will be high. It's hard to say that we will become the culprit of Chen Cun's malicious push up of the packet market this time. "Grandma Liu can see it through.

Everyone laughed.

The first son of junior high school is the second lang, the third and fourth junior high school go to all directions, the fifth and sixth junior high school start the new year, and the seventh junior high school packs up and goes to work.

Since the third year of junior high school, Chen Village has ushered in an unprecedented scene, in the Spring Festival of Chen Village, there have never been so many small cars, people who get off the car, when they see children, they will send sugar cakes, and when they see men, they will smoke well, and then they all walk towards Chen Weizheng's house. The people of Chen Cun couldn't understand it at all.

Seeing this scene, Liu Dehou knew that he had destroyed the tranquility and peace of Chen Village, and decided to return to the city ahead of schedule. For Liu Dehou's early return to the city, the four old ones are very much in favor, because with Liu Dehou here, there will be non-stop entertainment, and it will only stop when he leaves.

The four old decided to live in Chen Village for a long time. Liu Da TCM made a phone call to the dean, no longer working! The dean repeatedly requested, Liu Da TCM resigned, and he would spend the rest of his life studying Chinese medicine in Longshan.

Near the beginning of the school year, Komatsu and Xiaozhu left Chen Village, and Chen Weizheng sent them to Guyi City, accompanied by a full five-gallon bucket of water.

The New Year's envelope is very useful, and the four old ones have a reputation in Chen Village, and the little butts of the Weizi generation called when they saw them Tianyuan: "Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Chen." The shouting of the Chinese characters is better: "Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Chen." "The two old ladies always carry candy with them, and they give them to whoever they like.

There is a small clinic in the village, next to the village office, relatively simple, the doctor who sees the doctor is not very smart, one day, Liu Da Chinese medicine doctor walking in the village walked through the clinic, heard a two or three-year-old child crying in the clinic almost out of breath, professional habits let him can't help but go in to see, three fingers together, asked the parents to go to the township hospital to pick up the medicine, the director of the township central hospital saw the prescription on the signature of Liu Da Chinese medicine, startled, and hurriedly ran into Chen Village to greet. Chen Weishi, the doctor in the village, pleaded again and again, and asked the eighteenth master to come forward and set up a banquet, so that Liu Da Chinese medicine doctor could sit in his small clinic for half a day a week. There was a rumor early that the old lady of the county party secretary was the first in line. In the city, queuing for three days may not necessarily be the number of Liu Da Chinese Medicine.

Grandma Chen worked as an English teacher at a primary school with no pay. This news made the director of the township education committee very happy, and demanded that all English teachers in the school district must come to the classroom to listen to Teacher Chen's class, and they must also go to the night to light torches, and if they can't sit in the classroom, they can sit outside to listen, and if they don't have a stool, they can stand and listen. Hearing Grandma Chen's standard London accent, the people of Longshan knew what English was, no longer bird language.

Grandma Liu's biggest hobby is to feed the half acre of vegetable field, which has been completely turned into a work of art, and there is not a single weed on it. It is estimated that whoever wants to enter her territory next will have to change their shoes.

Old man Chen's mind was on the fish pond, and he didn't know what method he thought of, so he actually divided the fish pond into four areas, and raised different fish, including a pool of ornamental fish. Around the fish pond, several kinds of ornamental bamboos are planted, the most famous are square bamboo and spotted bamboo. It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo.

What a joy to be old!

The most boring is Chen Weizheng. Go back to Yongsan and open QQ for the first time.

That little penguin danced quite happily! Almost every avatar is moving. When I opened it, half of them left their phones, and the students went to other places, got jobs, changed phones, and left messages on QQ.

Only Ou Jie's avatar is black! I don't know if it's because the United States can't use QQ or if the time is wrong, no one talks about QQ.

Leave Longshan's phone number for Ou Jie, leave a message: "I really want to know your current situation", and went offline.

At breakfast, Chen Weizheng said to the four old men: "I am going out for a few days, and some classmates have come to Pingnan for a party." ”

The old man knew that young people had the life of young people, and he gave a few words. Chen Weizheng pretended to pick up a little luggage and left. came to Guyi Chen Xiaomei's house, this time the main reason for coming was to solve the matter of buying a car, Chen Weizheng wanted to give, Chen Xiaomei didn't want it. Giving is a must, although it is not much, but sending a car is by no means something that an ordinary civil servant can do, nor is it something that an ordinary civil servant's aunt can afford.

had a long talk with Chen Xiaomei, and reached a consensus on several issues, first, Chen Weizheng is not short of money and has enough money to buy a car. Second, the fuel card of the No. 26 car allowed Huang Chenglong to return it to the public, and this kind of small advantage is not taken advantage of. Third, Chen Weizheng is building a large number of construction projects in Chen Village, and there will definitely be people who have a cheap mouth to reflect it to the above, thinking that it is because of Chen Xiaomei's support, and the Commission for Discipline Inspection must be prepared to investigate Liu Dehou and Chen Xiaomei's personal property. This time, Chen Weizheng just wanted to go to Nancheng to solve the problem of the source of funds. The best thing to do is that Ou Jie's supermarket can give a certificate of withdrawal of shares.

Hearing Chen Weizheng's words, Liu Dehou asked Chen Xiaomei to accept the purchase price of the car and said, "Xiaozheng, you lend me 500,000 yuan, and I will send you an IOU." ”

As soon as he heard this, Chen Weizheng smiled, immediately knew Liu Dehou's thoughts, and said, "Okay." 500,000 is not enough, if not enough, 1 million. I went to Nancheng this time to find a way to solve this problem. ”

Liu Dehou really made an IOU of 1 million to Chen Weizheng, and the time was before the National Day last year. Chen Xiaomei looked confused on the side.

stayed at Liu Dehou's house for one night, checked Liu Songzhao's progress, and also checked Xiaozhu's physical condition, Chen Weizheng was very satisfied.

Early in the morning, Chen Weizheng left Liu's house, drove to a remote place, threw the car into the space, took a taxi to the passenger station, and got on the bus to Pingnan. Taking a bus saves money and effort, Chen Weizheng has not scratched his bag to the extent that he can drive a long distance alone, and there is space as a parking lot, how good.

I bought a hard seat in Pingnan and got on the train, anyway, it was into the space, and there was no need for a soft sleeper.

When I was waiting for a car at the train station, a message appeared on my mobile phone, which was Ou Jie's, the mobile phone number of the United States. Chen Weizheng immediately opened an international long-distance text message, ready to call at ** o'clock in the evening.

I got on the train and it was 6 p.m.

Not long after the Spring Festival, there were very few people on the car, and there were only six people in a carriage, standard VIP treatment.

Walked to the corner of the carriage and took out a pack of fast noodles, two bags of tea eggs, and a ham sausage from the space. This is his long-lost fast food, he often eats like this when he is a student, and he hasn't eaten like this in the past six months. Soak it well, take a bite, it's not delicious, take another bite, it's a little unpalatable, and another bite, it's quite unpalatable, and it's a loss to eat so delicious when you were a student.

The time slowly came to nine o'clock, Chen Weizheng took out his mobile phone, pressed Ou Jie's phone number, and dialed out.

"Wei Zheng, is that you?" Ou Jie's voice came from the phone.

"It's me, it's me, Ou Jie, how are you?"

"Is your body okay?" Ou Jie asked first.

"No problem, it's strong now, it's stronger than ever." Chen Weizheng really felt that he was very strong, and then said: "I went back to my hometown to raise it for a while, and it was very good. What about you? Is it okay in the United States? ”

"It's okay! Being a stranger in a foreign land, my adaptability is not bad. I'm currently studying for a degree at a university here, and I'm working part-time at a supermarket. Ou Jie said.

Someone shouted next to him, and Ou Jie said, "Something's wrong, I'm going to move the goods." I'll call you when I'm ready. ”

Chen Weizheng hummed and hung up, he knew that Ou Jie was lying to him, because he understood what the person was shouting. During this time, Xiaozhu and Grandma Chen had a complete English conversation, which made his English level increase a lot. The man was shouting: "Yellow pig, if you don't give money, you will die." ”
