Chapter 1 Returning Members
The weather in April is still a bit cold. But fortunately, it is already spring, and you can already see some greenery on the roadside.
Cai Hongming sat in the car and looked out the window, feeling the different climates in the northwest and southern Fujian. It's still green and full of flowers, but it's a bleak spring.
When they got off the bus at the door of their clinic, he and Cai Hongsheng were about to go in with their luggage, when they suddenly saw Ji Dong, a junior high school classmate who was going to be a soldier, walk out of it, and said unhappily: "Adong, when did you come back?" ”
Ji Dong was also very happy to see him, looked at him behind him and said, "It's been back for a while, I heard your mother say that you got married, didn't you bring your wife back?" ”
"She's still studying, and she's not graduating until a few months away. Let's not talk here, let's sit inside! With that, he and Cai Hongsheng pulled their luggage into the house. His father was busy giving massage, and after saying hello to Hongsheng, he ignored them, and his mother didn't know where to run, and he couldn't see half a figure.
Cai Hongming took Ji Dong and Hongsheng upstairs, asked Hongsheng to go to the room that his mother had cleaned up for him, and after putting his luggage in the house, he made tea with Ji Dong in the hall.
"The last time I met your father, I heard that you have been a company commander in the army, congratulations."
"Thank you." Ji Dong nodded.
"Come, tea."
Cai Hongming put the brewed tea in front of Ji Dong, and suddenly saw him holding the teacup with his left hand, and his right hand hung down weakly, so he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's wrong with your right hand?" ”
"It's fine, a little hurt." Ji Dong said disappreciably.
Cai Hongming didn't believe it, took his hand, pinched it from the finger bones and tendons all the way up, and reached his arms and shoulders, it seemed to be too hard, Ji Dong couldn't stand it, and frowned.
"What the hell is going on? How could you be so badly wounded in the troops. ”
"Actually, nothing, just bad luck. Last year, I was fortunate enough to be selected into the special forces, and while on a mission, I was accidentally pierced by an armor-piercing bullet through the bone meridian and was stabbed again, so it became like this. It's okay, you should be fine with a little rest. Ji Dong smiled indifferently.
Cai Hongming didn't believe his nonsense, if he could be good, it is estimated that he would not come to his father.
"What did my dad say?"
"He said it was difficult to get back to normal, but he could regain some strength in his hand, but he couldn't lift anything heavy."
What is the difference between such a hand and a cripple. Cai Hongming frowned and said, "You take off your clothes and let me take a look." ”
Seeing that he insisted, Ji Dong had to take off his clothes, and he took him outside to take a film. Looking at the filmed film and carefully checking the location of Ji Dong's shoulder injury, Cai Hongming felt that his hand could still recover if he wanted to. This time he went back, and he learned a lot from the books given to him by his grandfather, among which was a plaster that specifically treated this kind of meridian injury. However, the medicinal materials are very expensive, and his family has not boiled them well, so he has to prepare them.
Cai Hongming told him, Ji Dong didn't care, he didn't care about it, he didn't get cured for so long in the army, and this time he came back to see Cai Tianfu to see that he was holding a dead horse as a live horse doctor, if it didn't work, it was nothing.
After seeing the injury, the two continued to make tea.
After a while, Cai Hongming asked, "Then are you retired now?" ”
"Hmm." Ji Dong nodded.
"What are you going to do when you come back?"
"I don't know, you say I'm crippled, what else can I do." Ji Dong touched his arm and smiled bitterly. Saying that he didn't think it was fake, but it was already like this, and it was useless to be sad, so he was so open-minded.
"That's it!" Cai Hongming thought for a while and said: "After a while, I will develop the desert I bought, and now there is a shortage of manpower, so you can come and help me." ”
"I heard your mother say this, but what can I do over there as a cripple."
"Stewards! There's a lot going on, and if you have a comrade-in-arms, you can call over to help. But I'm just a bit of a vegetable grower, so don't dislike them if they come. ”
"I'll try to get in touch with you, I don't know if anyone is coming."
Cai Hongming is not sympathetic to him, he really needs manpower, a thousand acres of land, even if it is all machinery, it also needs people to drive. After saying that, he took out Nanzhou's famous specialties of longan, wind sausage, and stone yard five spices from the things he brought back, as well as a large zongzi wrapped with dried scallops, abalone, chestnuts, three-layer meat, and other good things for fifteen yuan that he bought in the city when he came. This is his favorite thing to eat, and he brought back a lot of it this time.
"This is a specialty I brought from home, and you can take it back to your aunt and uncle to eat."
"That's too much."
"There's more, and if I don't want it, I'll bring some back."
As he was talking, the little chubby Su Cancheng ran up from below.
"Brother, you're back!" Before he went upstairs, he heard him shouting below, and when he saw Ji Dong upstairs, he hurriedly greeted: "Brother Adong is also here!" ”
"Hmm."
Seeing him coming, Cai Hongming went inside again and took a bunch of things out for him and asked him to take them back to eat.
"Have you gone to Hachiko and their side to have a look?"
"Yes, I go every few days, and I stay there for half a month during the Spring Festival?" The little fat man hurriedly said.
Cai Hongming listened, but said: "I guess there is something good to eat over there, otherwise you wouldn't have stayed there for so long." ”
Su Cancheng scratched his head, it was really like this. During the Chinese New Year, the eight men and their sheep, chickens and other things can be killed, and he has gained four or five pounds of fat after eating, and when it snows, Uncle Fu also takes him to the forest to pick up pheasants and hares, and the wild things taste much better than those raised at home.
Seeing him so stupid, Cai Hongming didn't know anything, he was also a person from here. Let him bring his things back and help him get his friends together and eat at the barbecue stand in the evening.
As soon as Su Cancheng heard this, he ran away. Ji Dong also said goodbye and left.
At night, the old house where the barbecue stall is located is brightly lit, and there is a steaming hot pot on the table, with all kinds of dishes and things such as sausages, stone yards and spices, zongzi and so on that Cai Hongming specially brought from home.
Lacquer carving Ji Shao, Tuoba Niu, Gu Lixian and so on were all called over, and a group of people huddled together, eating and drinking to their heart's content, so lively. Cai Hongsheng and Su Cancheng seemed to smell a little like each other, and it didn't take long for them to get acquainted, talking shoulder to shoulder.
The weather is getting warmer, and after Cai Hongming comes back, he also plans to open this barbecue stall.
He planned to let Cai Hongsheng learn barbecue from Su Cancheng first, and then hand over the barbecue stall to him when he got acquainted, while the chubby Su Cancheng asked him to go to the city to open another store. With money in his hand, he plans to carry forward his barbecue stall and make it a chain store, specializing in roast yak meat, mutton, and ostrich meat with northwest characteristics, and then with the rice he grows in the future, boiled sweet potato porridge and called chicken, the business should be good.
