But it was said that Lao Jia was discharged from the hospital and returned to the hospital on November 29th, the twentieth day of October in the lunar calendar.

Zheng Zhendong lived very comfortably during this time, and went out to hang out after breakfast every day, and spent more than half of the time visiting Sijiu City.

At the end of the month, Zheng Zhendong climbed up and put on his clothes in the shouting of Zheng's mother.

Zheng's mother, who was cooking, spoke.

"Third child, don't go out to wander around today, you have to go to school after the New Year, you have nothing to do at home to read books and study."

Zheng Zhendong, who had just washed his face, asked.

"Mom, I've completed the transfer procedures, where can I study?"

"It's done, your Uncle Zhang did it for you, he came to the factory yesterday to hand over the transfer certificate to me and left in a hurry." Zheng's mother returned.

"Oh, this Uncle Zhang has transferred to a local job, his temper has not changed, and he is still doing things in a hurry." Zheng Zhendong said in an old-fashioned manner.

At this time, Zheng Xinyi, who went out to play, walked into the house and asked.

"Mom, are you cooking, I'm hungry!"

"Right away, you take out the dishes and chopsticks and prepare to eat, third, you sit the kettle on the stove."

Mother Zheng took the steel pot off the stove and put it on the pot shelf, and told the brothers and sisters to eat quickly.

After the three of them finished eating, they cleaned up together, and Zheng's mother went out to work.

Brother and sister, one of them took a stool, sat next to the fire, and chatted over the fire.

"Third brother, I went to play with He Yushui just now, He Da, how can you call Yushui his brother stupid, isn't stupid a bad word." Sister Zheng Xinyi asked suspiciously.

Listening to my sister talk about the stupid pillar, Zheng Zhendong remembered the last time I heard He Yushui say that the stupid pillar went out to learn the craft, and came back at the end of every month.

Today happens to be the end of the month, and Silly Zhu should come back to rest.

I wanted to go out to see what the stupid pillar looked like when I was young, and whether he was so old, but he said.

"What are you doing in charge of other people, Uncle He is his father, you can call him whatever you want, if you don't call him stupid, it's over." Zheng Zhendong thought about things and said to his sister casually.

……

The brother and sister were chatting about the sky, and He Yushui shouted from outside the door.

"Xinyi, Xinyi, are you at home, I'll come to play with you."

When her sister Zheng Xinyi heard the shout, she hurriedly ran out.

Zheng Zhendong looked at his sister who ran out and shook his head.

Then, pour the freshly boiled water into the thermos, add cold water to the pot and sit on the stove, and then press the stove and go out.

I saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy in the courtyard practicing potting, and He Daqing next to him pointed out from time to time.

Zheng Zhendong walked over and greeted He Daqing.

"Uncle He, you're busy, why didn't you go to work?"

"It's Dongzi, it's not my stupid pillar who came back last night, I'll see how his basic skills are, I'll go to work in a while, anyway, the rolling mill doesn't make breakfast and rushes away."

Zheng Zhendong listened and continued.

"Yes, it has to be you, life is nourishing, this is your son, what should I call it?"

He Daqing heard Zheng Zhendong ask about this, and hurriedly introduced.

"This is my son He Yuzhu, who is fifteen years old this year." After speaking, he turned his head and said to the stupid pillar.

"Zhuzi, this is Zheng Zhendong, the son of your Aunt Zheng who just moved in."

"By the way, Dongzi, who is the eldest of you?"

Zheng Zhendong looked at the two men in front of him and said separately.

"Uncle He, I'm thirteen years old this year, who do you say is older?"

Brother Zhuzi, hello, please take care of me. ”

Silly Zhu hurriedly responded: "Alas, alas, hello Brother Dongzi, if you have something in the future, you will greet me, and you will be polite to me." ”

Silly Zhu thought to himself that these neighbors in the courtyard, regardless of adults and children, even his father called him stupid pillar when he was in a hurry.

Only Zheng Zhendong, who calls him Brother Zhuzi, is very useful in his heart, so Zheng Zhendong is particularly pleasing to the eye.

"Okay, you two guys, let's talk, I'm going to work." He Daqing said when he saw the two chatting.

"Uncle He, go slowly!"

"Dad, you go slowly!"

After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled, and Silly Zhu let Zheng Zhendong to his house and continued to chat.

……

Through the conversation, they learned about the basic situation of both parties.

After chatting until almost noon, Zheng Zhendong wanted to go home to cook.

Silly Zhu had to let Zheng Zhendong try his craft, and in the end, he couldn't refuse, but Zheng Zhendong's brothers and sisters had to stay.

Seeing that Zheng Zhendong's brothers and sisters stayed, Silly Zhu hurriedly rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, found out a lot of ingredients and quickly disposed of them.

After a while, four dishes and one soup were made, namely fish-flavored shredded pork, kung pao chicken, muxi pork, sour shredded potatoes, and tomato and egg soup.

Looking at the dishes on the table, He Yushui and Zheng Xinyi only swallowed their saliva.

The four of them hurriedly took their seats, and Silly Zhu took out half a bottle of wine from under the table and said.

"Brother Dongzi, I don't know what's going on, how do I think you are so pleasing to the eye, accompany my brother to drink?"

Zheng Zhendong looked at the stupid pillar and gritted his teeth and said.

"Drink a little, drink some, who is afraid of whom!"

After speaking, he took the wine bottle from the stupid pillar and poured a glass for the two of them.

"Brother Dongzi, let's take one!" Silly Zhu raised his glass and said.

"Let's go, Brother Pillar!"

The two of them took a sip each, and then listened to Silly Zhu.

"Pick up the vegetables, taste them, how does it taste?"

After letting Zheng Zhendong finish, he said to Zheng Xinyi and He Yushui.

You two eat too, don't be stunned, it won't taste good when it's cold for a while. ”

Four people drink and drink, and eat and eat.

The two girls had a small amount of food, and they were full after a while.

Looking at the dishes on the table, he reluctantly said hello and went out to play with Xu Fengling in the backyard.

At the table, Zheng Zhendong followed Silly Zhu and continued to drink and eat at the same time.

"Brother Dongzi, how is my brother's craftsmanship?"

"Brother Zhuzi, your skills are really good, you are proficient in two cuisines at a young age, it's really amazing!" Zheng Zhendong raised his thumb and boasted.

"Hey, I can't be proficient, I can only cook a few home-cooked dishes, and I have to learn!" Silly Zhu said modestly.

"Home cooking is a test of a chef's real skills, just take these dishes you make."

First of all, this muxi meat has a salty and fragrant taste, smooth and tender meat, and a side dish, crisp and refreshing, and has mastered the essence of it.

Besides, this vinegar shredded potatoes are sour, fragrant, crispy, slippery, light, hateful, and have another plate.

Next, this kung pao chicken is sweet in spicy, sweet and spicy, crispy and fragrant in the mouth, and the meat is tender, if it is served with a bowl of rice, it will be better.

Next, this fish-flavored shredded meat, ruddy in color, sour and spicy, rich in aroma, silky and soft texture of shredded meat, is really delicious in the world.

Finally, I said that this pot of tomato and egg soup is thick, the color is bright, sweet and sour, and the soup is delicious.

"Brother Dongzi, okay, I didn't expect that your kid is also a eater at a young age." Silly Zhu said with a smile.

……

After the two drank and ate, they talked about idle farts again.

Zheng Zhendong staggered home, lay on the bed in a daze, and fell asleep after a while.

……

When Zheng Zhendong woke up again, he had a splitting headache, knowing that this was caused by his body's discomfort after drinking for the first time.

I quickly got up and got a hot towel and put it on my head, and after a while, I didn't feel so uncomfortable.

Then I went out of the house and saw that the sun was about to set in the west, and I turned around and went home.

Poke on the stove, fill it with some charcoal, and sit the steel pot on the stove.

Pour the warm water from the pot into the steel pot and put the grate.

From the basket on the cupboard, take out the nest head, put it on the grate in the pot, and close the lid.

He put down the board that was standing on the cupboard, picked up a cabbage from the ground, picked up the leaves, put it on the board, and began to cut it.

At this time, there was a commotion in the courtyard, and Zheng Zhendong glanced out of the door.

It turned out that a group of people who went to work in the rolling mill came back, and Zheng Zhendong didn't care about them and continued to cut vegetables.

Mother Zheng pushed the door in, looked at her son who was chopping vegetables, and said with relief: "Okay, the third child knows how to cook, I'll come." ”

After speaking, he hung the bag in his hand on the nail on the wall, and then took the kitchen knife in Zheng Zhendong's hand and got busy.

"Mom, what were you talking about in the courtyard just now, why did you just make a fuss?" Zheng Zhendong asked curiously.

Mother Zheng said while chopping vegetables.

"On the way back just now, I met Director Ma from the Street Office."

"She said she would come over in a moment and give everyone a meeting."

There is a policy to preach to everyone, and everyone is guessing what is going on, so they will be in a mess. ”

After a while, Zheng's mother cooked the meal, and Zheng Xinyi also returned home at this time, and the three of them began to eat.

……

When the Zheng family finished dinner, they came to the courtyard, only to see three wind lanterns hanging in the courtyard, and the neighbors in the courtyard were in twos and threes, muttering what was going on.

At this time, two people came out of the backyard, a deaf old lady in the backyard, and a middle-aged woman about forty years old.

The middle-aged woman first chatted with Yi Zhonghai.

Then he walked to the middle of the courtyard and said loudly.

"Everyone, be quiet, listen to me, I'll introduce myself first, my name is Ma Hongmei, and I am the director of our street office."

Then he paused and continued.

"Today, when I come to our hospital, there is only one purpose, the new country is just established, the country is in ruins, and there is a shortage of talents in all walks of life, especially in the police force and the streets.

Now above, I ask everyone, actively respond, the call of the country, in order to better, serve everyone, manage the orderly ......,

For reasons such as mediating neighborhood conflicts and disputes, guarding against enemies, etc., each hospital has set up a temporary management of the uncle or aunt.

In the spirit of openness, justice, fairness, principles, and comrades who are interested in taking responsibility, you can ask me to sign up, and wait for everyone to vote! ”

……

The last to sign up, there is a front yard, Yan Bugui.

Yi Zhonghai and He Daqing of the Intermediate Court.

In the bangs in the backyard, Xu Youfu and the two.

Several people who signed up said to everyone that if they were elected, what would they do, how, to serve everyone, and as much as possible, canvassing for themselves.

Everyone, their faces were embarrassed, and they all talked about who everyone chose and who they didn't choose, they were afraid of offending people, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

In the end, Director Ma saw that it was not possible to go on like this, and then asked everyone to adopt a secret ballot for the election.

Everyone said that they didn't know what a secret ballot was.

Director Ma explained for a long time before everyone understood what was going on.
