Dead wood grows buds, coinciding with spring.

Chen Dasho, a bad old man in his sixties, is going to get married.

After Zhao Xiaohua went to school, at the end of September, he felt that since he beat last year, he scared away the three thugs, especially borrowing money a few days ago...... Solved their urgent needs. She Zhao Cuihua worked more diligently, and changed her name to Lao Chen. Although he was eight years old, although she didn't say it, he read the secret of her liking him from the sparkle in her eyes.

He also likes her, young and neat, like his ex-wife Lu Xiaohong.

There were two in the ditch to introduce Chen Dasho, and he refused. Shanggou, three days ago, he went to buy some pork and drove an electric car back to pass by Caitun. met his old classmate Lao Zhang, he said: "Lao Chen, you have had a good life in the past few years, and you know it all over the ditch." It's time to get a wife. It just so happens that my third daughter-in-law, named Xiaoyun, was widowed last year and is nine years younger than you. Lao Chen, Shangxiagou, you should have seen her, right? ”

"I've met a few times, but I haven't spoken." Chen Dasho replied.

"Isn't it pretty?" Lao Zhang asked.

"Beautiful!" He said.

Lao Zhang said: "She doesn't know how to know that we are old classmates, so she begs me to be a matchmaker and takes a fancy to you...... What do you think, people are prettier than you......"

"I don't think we're people on the same road, it's enough, forget it!" He said.

Lao Zhang hurriedly said: "According to the seniority, she is called Uncle I, and we are classmates, give face, and then consider ......"

"Let's talk about it...... It stinks when I nag my meat again. ”

He felt that the meaning of what he said was obvious enough that he should have rejected him (her).

After another two days, Chen Dasho's shop closed at night and went back to his old house to rest.

He added two ladles of water to the pot and a few handfuls of wood to the stove, and made the kang hotter so that he could sleep and relieve his fatigue. He put the futon away and covered it. He sat on the kang, took off the notebook and pen on the book, and flipped through a few yellowed pages of old books, which were seven heroes and five righteousness. After a while, he heard footsteps coming from the courtyard, who was it? Could it be Zhao Cuihua? After a while, when he entered the house, he looked up and was surprised, Mom, why is it Xiaoyun, the daughter-in-law of Shanggou Chi.

He saw that she was dressed red, and the fragrance of alabaster on her face was smeared, and drilled into his nostrils...... "Brother Dafa, hello ......" She greeted him with a smile, and touched his quilt casually, and said: "Brother Dafa, your quilt is not hot, let the little sister warm your ......" said on the kang.

"You are precious!" Chen shoveled down the kang and sat on the ground stool.

I saw Xiaoyun take off his clothes, get into his quilt, lie on the pillow, smile, and say to him: "Brother Dafa, a good night is worth a thousand gold, how rare it is......"

Chen Dasho saw that he was on it, and Jiao Lina's old trick was repeated. "Then you can sleep here, you have to walk five miles back, it's dark outside in the middle of winter, be careful that the wolf pulls you away." He got up and walked outside.

"Don't go, Brother Dafa...... It's okay, if you go out for a walk and think about it carefully, what is the little sister who is not worthy of you? You have thought about coming back, my little sister is waiting for you in the bed, and we will go into the gentle country together......" She seduced him again.

Chen Dasho closed the door of the house, closed the street door, and went to the village to fight the old Geng's head and make up for a night. He saw that the sky was already bright in the morning, and when he returned, he saw Xiaoyun on the small book on the kang and wrote:

Cripple Chen, this lady is committed to marrying, and she wants to insert a flower on your pile of cow dung, and you still don't appreciate it? In these years, it is difficult for widowed and elderly women to remarry! If it weren't for the fact that you barely look like a person, have a little savings and do some small business, this lady wouldn't bother to pay attention to you! You're not a person, you're a eunuch, curse you to be lame a few more times......

Chen Dasho smiled after reading the message. He said to himself: "You scold me, I don't get angry." I was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of the well rope for ten years. Who knows if you're like Jiao Lina, a vixen who can't be raised? It's still as the ancestor said, the ugly wife is close to the treasure. Zhuge Liang, a big man, married an ugly wife. What's more, I'm a grass farmer? ”

Ex-wife Lu Xiaohong is reliable, and Zhao Cuihua is also reliable in observation, but she only let me touch my hands, and I don't know what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd?

After a few more days, there were no customers in the shop. Zhao Cuihua cleaned up the kitchen, washed her hands, and wiped it with a towel. Chen Dasho leaned forward and took her hand and said, "Let me see ......" He stroked her hand and said, "The skin is dry and cracked, let me put some alabaster on you......"

"No, I'll do it myself later." She said.

"Let me put on a face, right?" He said.

She replied, "No." If you stick to your face, you will have to inch in......"

"How?" He asked.

Zhao Cuihua finally had a showdown and said, "Lao Chen, there are no guests today." You are interested in me, and I have affection for you. I said it thoroughly, how do you write the words? A skimming and a pinch, for the herringbone. To be a man, you must not lose the sky, and then touch your chest, worthy of your conscience. Let's start with the dog, you name the dog the loyal minister. A dog biting someone from behind is a traitor, and being a civilized dog is a loyal minister, which shows that the dog is loyal and traitorous in a thought. What about being a human being? In your early years, you were restless and self-conscious, and you committed a greedy word, marking things that do not belong to you as own. As a result, the reputation is bad, and over the years, you have gradually changed, but not completely. ”

Zhao Cuihua got up and poured a glass of water for Chen Dasho, and continued: "Have you heard of it? You must have heard that a deputy official in our neighboring city committed a corrupt ......"

Chen Dasho interjected and said: "I have listened to talented nagging......"

Cuihua continued: "A few years ago, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection reported that he was greedy for money alone...... Your mother told you to do good deeds and not do things that lacked virtue. And this embezzler's mother asked him to bring his brothers and sisters out to make a fortune. The embezzler finally confessed: I took my brothers and sisters to prison. Lao Chen, you are not a bad person, but you can't grasp it for a while, and you are greedy, if you rely on me for one thing, I will go with you to prove it......"

"What's the matter?" Chen Dasho asked.

She said: "You have refunded the subsistence allowance!" I just let you completely break this greedy word and be a new person. ”

Chen Dasho stood up, limped around the house, and said, "Cuihua, is this a lump of money?" ……”

"It's only 5,000 yuan a year." She said. "As the old saying goes, you can't be poor in food, you can't be poor in clothing, and you can't be poor if you don't plan well. Lao Chen, you haven't raised pigs in the past few years, and all the leftovers in the restaurant have been thrown away. Have you calculated how much meat you have to buy and how much it costs to open a restaurant this year? Let's talk about it, from next spring, I will raise and raise three pigs, and the store will no longer have to buy meat. One reversal and one positive, our small store is less than 20,000 yuan a year, and the income of the store is added, how much is that? Let's work for a few years...... You're old, can I leave you alone? You kiss your children, can't they give you a pension and send you to the end of your life? ”

Chen Dasho said: "Cuihua, your analysis is indeed reasonable. Now the country is in difficulty, and epidemic prevention costs the old nose money...... It also saves the villagers from saying that I take advantage. Cuihua, do you count? If this thing is done, let me stick to my face......"

"After retiring the subsistence allowance, immediately pull the certificate, what's the point of sticking a face?" Cuihua felt that the words were too big, and she was exposed, her face was red to her neck, but she still looked at him with a smile.

Chen Dasho stomped his limp legs, "Medium!" ”

The next morning, Chen Dachan and Cuihua sat on chairs, looking at the brand-new marriage certificate that had just been issued, and their faces were full of joy.

When the subsistence allowance was withdrawn, the village chief secretary praised Chen Dasho for being conscious and said that when it was difficult in the future, he would apply for a reissue.

On this day, Chen Dasho took over two small tables of business. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the guests departed. After Cuihua cleaned up, he fried four more side dishes, the amount was not large, Chen Dasho drank two taels of wine, it was six o'clock, it was dark, he got up and wanted to go to the old house.

"Lao Chen, where are you going?" Cuihua asked.

He replied, "I'll go back to the old house and rest." ”

"Got used to it, right? You forgot what day it was, let's prove it, right? She asked with a smile.

Chen Dasho patted his head, "I'm dizzy...... If you are a legal husband and wife, you should spend candles in the cave. He smiled like a flower. Cuihua, let's have a glass of wine, okay? ”

"Okay." Cuihua took two cups and poured one or two white wines each.

He also proposed: "We have a deep relationship, and we are bored." ”

I saw that the two of them wrapped their arms around each other and poured wine into each other's mouths. Chen Dasho slapped his leg, "Cool!" ”

"Let's go!" Cuihua pulled Chen Dasho's hand, "Go to bed!" I've covered the quilt early. ”

Chen Dasho smiled and followed lightly. The two took off their clothes, got into the bed, and turned off the lights.

A long drought is a rainy day. The two must have made love, and Cuihua soon fell asleep.

Chen Dasho borrowed the moonlight from the window, and saw that there was a happy smile on the corner of his wife's mouth. He was satisfied, he couldn't sleep with excitement. He thought: It's better to be a good person...... My old Chen Tou is really a blessing, and he scored three times!

He was happy to fall asleep very late. I had a dream in my sleep, and I dreamed that Jiaolina had returned from the south, "Brother Dafa, ......" He was so frightened that he sat up. Seeing that the sky was already dawning, I saw Cuihua holding two poached eggs and sitting in front of him.

"Old man, why are you scared...... Eat the poached eggs, make up for your body, hard rod and hard stick. She said.

Chen Dasho swallowed the poached egg into his stomach in a few bites, he thought it was so good, it was too fragrant!

Since then, he has lived a sweet life with her, like glue.

Eleven has passed.

Chen Dasho snacks take one order in the morning and one order in the evening...... The guest leaves.

He helped Cuihua clean up the kitchen, Cuihua was sweeping the floor, the dog was lying on the side, he said, "Cuihua, let's ...... on the hour?" ”

Cuihua said: "The old man wants to enjoy the blessings in the bed for a long time......"

"What to do?"

"Drink chicken soup!" She laughs.

"It's too greasy."

"Eating apples and radishes at the same time is nutritious and healthy." She said

"Thank you for your teachings!" Chen Dasho brought out the words in the play.

"I've learned to be poor." Cuihua giggled, raising the broom in her hand to fight.

"Please be gracious!" Chen Da shovel stopped lame, and scurried from the kitchen to the dining room with a few steps of laughter, almost faster than a rabbit.

What do dogs do? Specializing in rabbits. Xiao Huang, the little loyal minister, saw the hostess raise the broom, thought it was beating it, swished more than the "rabbit", ran to the gate and lay down, and continued to be his loyal minister. The dog raised by Chen Dasho is a civilized dog and a loyal minister, others look down on him, and he looks down on others. Some dog owners are actually ashamed to say to people: "Mom and Dad don't cry when they die, the dog dies, she cries for several days...... Hearing this, he will be so angry that he will go home and scold: "Scum, brute!" ”

In another flash, the clock came to the beginning of December 2022, and Chen Dasho Xiaofa snacks were half dead and were doing business.

Immediately afterwards, the country issued new regulations, fully liberalized, the full flow of personnel and materials, if you are sick, go to the hospital, feel good about yourself, and go around the country and the world!

Zhong Nanshan said: I don't encourage everyone to get it. Another expert said that there is a high probability that everyone will get it, at least more than 80% of the country.

Originally, people were used to doing nucleic acids, so what do they like to do. Now I understand that in essence, it is to let people, like the flu and a cold, have to go through it and connect with the world, so that the epidemic prevention can finally succeed.

It happened so suddenly, and this time there was more panic and fear than any wave. Everyone is the first person responsible, the street person. There is no need to call for help, there is no need to urge, everyone locks themselves at home and takes the initiative to prevent the epidemic.

Therefore, Chen Dasho Xiaofa snacks are no longer patronized, and all cities and villages in the country, the streets and highways are empty...... All the business in the service industry has quietly stopped.

On TV, uploaded on the Internet, Beijing, Shanghai...... The new crown is blowing like a gust of wind across the country's urban and rural areas. Beijing hospitals are overcrowded with patients, and the medical staff are sick to work, and their coughing is worse than that of patients, which is strange and scary.

Zhong Nanshan said that his granddaughter was fine within a few days of getting the new crown, and there was no need to be afraid of panic. Beijingers say that those who are seriously ill will call 120, and those who are mild will be treated like a cold, and they will take some fever-reducing medicine at home. I should praise the paracetamol tablets produced by Shenyang Northeast Pharmaceutical Factory, no price increase at all, almost no shortage of goods, two yuan and one board, compared with those so-called tall fairy medicines, the greatest contribution, how much urgency has been saved, and how many lives have been saved?

Experts estimate that the mortality rate should be 1 in 1,000...... Shenyang, surnamed Wang, 36 years old, was a member of the national football team, now a coach, a little diabetic, got the new crown, and died young. Later, Beijing Yichuanchuan, 21 years old, from Guangzhou, is an Internet celebrity, has millions of fans, earns a lot of money, looks beautiful, hits, and the flowers have withered.

It seems that young people can't escape this eternal law of nature

See the rainbow after the storm.

After a month's effort, the Chinese people have almost all over it. The light ones said that they didn't react, like a cold, and the heavy ones said that they had no energy, coughed all the time, escaped death, and continued to sit at home for "confinement......

Originally, the people of the country panicked, and the streets were empty...... Now that I have recovered, it is said on the Internet that it is like being beaten with chicken blood, and I am jumping around again, slowly freeing myself from fear, and I am not afraid, but I see that life is so beautiful......

As the Spring Festival approaches, cars, trains, and planes are moving. Beijing is the capital, not bad for money, take the lead with the whole family to Sanya, Hainan to travel...... The rise of domestic people is rare, and a small upsurge in consumption is rare. Buying New Year's goods, there are more people on the street, on the road, in shopping malls, and on large markets......

The fireworks that should be in life are back, congratulations! Of course, there are also those who are afraid of the new coronavirus, but they are not able to reach this small number of groups, and the elderly do not dare to go home without children and take the initiative to protect them.

Chen Dasho is lucky, but he hasn't gotten it yet, so he is afraid of death. He had just married a beautiful wife, and he was afraid of death and losing her. He hurriedly went to the village clinic to buy two plates of paracetamol tablets and a small bottle of licorice tablets.

At night, he and Cuihua lay on the kang, and Cuihua said: "Old Chen, don't be afraid, you can't run away from it, and you can't avoid it." Isn't it worse for you to be so scared that you don't get the new crown but are scared of other diseases? ”

"That's right......," he said.

Cuihua continued: "Now that people should get sick, they are almost gone, and the flow of people is all liberalized. I pondered, in March and April, the spring flowers bloomed, and there would be more of this person. If there are more people, won't our hotel business come alive? ”

"That's right." He chimed in.

"Lao Chen, your original concept of running a restaurant is too old, and you can eat enough home-cooked food. I think I will search the Internet if I have traffic, and I should put more effort into the quality of food next year. The original good dishes should be retained, plus some spicy tofu, gongbang chicken, back pot meat, and husband and wife lung slices...... The staple food should be added Tianjin Goubuli buns, Shanxi meat sandwich buns, and palace cakes...... Let's explore and do, and gradually form the specialties and signature dishes of our small shop. The quality of the food has come up, let's not rip off customers, raise the price appropriately, won't the turnover come up? Do you want to dream of making a fortune, is it one step closer? Cuihua proposed to analyze.

When Chen Dasho heard that he was going to make a fortune, he sat up happily, and Cuihua also sat up. He touched Cuihua's hand and said, "Flowers, my mobile phone can only make calls, listen to a song, and there will be an old lady in the small shop." ”

Then they discussed, pigs have to be raised, how to improve the quality of meals, treat customers with sincerity, and improve the service attitude. When the national situation improves, the operation of small shops also has to fight a turnaround.

According to the customs of the Chinese, according to the calculation of the Chinese lunar calendar, today is Chinese New Year's Eve and the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Chen Dasho said to Cuihua: "I Xiaomei graduated from college early, I am married and have a daughter, I Xiaohu already has a girlfriend, your Xiaohua is at her grandmother's house, they can't come back to protect both of us, how many dumplings can you make do?" ”

Cuihua said: "Today is the day to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, I fry four side dishes, I can't be sloppy......

Too suddenly, at half past eight, Xiaomei, Xiaohu and Xiaohua all came back. The dog does not bark and wags its tail to welcome the little masters home.

The room was bustling with activity. Xiaomei walked up to Chen Dasho with her daughter in her arms, but before the adults could speak, "Grandpa, I'll tell you a little secret......" Xiaomei's daughter said.

"What's the secret?" Chen Dasho touched her little hand and asked with a smile.

"Grandpa, I'm a little yang, my parents are a big yang, okay, it's not contagious...... She said in a childlike voice.

Chen Dasho's face bloomed with joy, and he hurriedly said: "Xiaoyang people are good, Yang people have become Yang Kang, and the people of the whole country are healthy." After he finished speaking, he shouted at the kitchen: "Cuihua, serve!" ”

With everyone's assistance, Cuihua brought four side dishes and dumplings, and the eldest son-in-law also brought two dishes. Xiaomei introduced: "Dad, I have a prawn, and I make a fish, more than one year in a row, together, it is called Liuliu Dashun......"

Xiaohu led Xiaomei's daughter, as well as his girlfriend, and Zhao Xiaohua set off firecrackers in the courtyard, as well as Zhanggao fireworks.

Chen Dasho almost didn't let go, and the dog loyal minister Xiao Huang felt strange, and after a while, he took two steps back, and then took two steps forward, and the courtyard was full of joy......

Firecrackers and fireworks in the city are set off again, and the night sky is breathtaking.

Everyone in the room raised their wine glasses, and Xiaomei said, "On behalf of the whole family, I wish my parents good health and all the best in the Year of the Rabbit!" ”

Chen Dasho's eldest son-in-law is talented, and he may have listened to Xiaomei's pillow to tell too many legendary stories of his father's past, so he was poetic, looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, and chanted a poem, saying: "Life is like a dream.

Firecrackers in the night sky,

Labor to get rich is glorious,

We are not exhausted! ”

……

Anyway, now, we have finally pushed away the haze of disease, finally don't have to worry about our children's schooling, and can finally travel and do foreign trade again......

As for how Chen Dasho's small restaurant business will be in 2023, whether the people are healthy, and whether the country's economy will develop greatly, Chen Dasho and his family will tell us the answer next Chinese New Year's Eve.
