1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Doudou, where did you get this cart?"

"Doudou, can it pull people? Can I sit on it?"

The two girls asked together when they ran to Doudou.

"Sister Dandan, An Dahan is still young and can't pull it. When An Dahan grows up, he can pull it." Doudou said with a stern face.

Listening to Doudou's words, Lu Dan felt very sorry. It would be so nice to sit on such a small car and play for a while.

It's no wonder that the two girls are so fond of it, because this small cart is really exquisite.

The wheels are a bit thin, and you can tell at a glance that it was removed from a 28-inch truck.

In the past, the driving position of horse-drawn carriages and donkey-drawn carts in rural areas was on the side of the carriage. This small car is in the middle, and there are steps up and down.

What's the key point? The driving position is very wide, and there is a cushion underneath.

Now Doudou's friends, even the silly roe deer, are lying on the car box board safely.

"Dad, what are you going to do? Are you going to catch small fish?"

Seeing Chen Tiezhu coming over, Doudou asked curiously.

"I'm going to catch small fish. Who made this car for you?" Chen Tiezhu asked.

"Grandpa Dong."

Doudou said crisply.

"Hey..., have you thanked Grandpa Dong?" Chen Tiezhu sighed.

"Thank Grandpa Dong, let Dad make delicious meat for Grandpa Dong." The little guy said seriously.

"Then let's go to Grandpa Dong with Dad." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

This car must have been made for a long time. This favor is a bit big, and it's not just as simple as a saddle.

Doudou didn't care about that thing. He climbed into his own driving seat. When he pulled the reins, An Dahan turned around obediently.

Lu Dan was so envious. It would be so much fun if he could go and catch the bells for a while.

"Doudou, why are you back again? I was in a hurry just now, and I didn't tie the bells for you."

Hu Yadong's voice came just after he entered the yard of Hu Yadong's house.

"Uncle Dong, thank you so much. It took a lot of effort, right?" Chen Tiezhu said hurriedly.

"Tiezhu came too. It didn't take much effort. Besides, I didn't do it alone." Hu Yadong said with a smile.

"Earlier, you said you would give Doudou a whole carriage, but you were so busy that you couldn't take care of it. Everyone thought about it and collected materials. This family collected some, that family took some, and then everything was gathered."

"Don't think too much. This is a gift from everyone to Doudou. Doudou is different from other children. Other children like it, but she may not care about it."

"Grandpa Dong, Doudou likes the carriage." The little guy next to him hurriedly interrupted.

"Hahahaha, as long as Doudou likes it, then everyone's efforts will not be in vain." Hu Yadong said with a big laugh.

"Doudou, how come you are so amazing? Everyone in the village is thinking about you." Lu Dan tapped Doudou's little nose.

Doudou was also happy, with her little head held high.

"Doudou is also a good child. She didn't feel bad at all when she distributed so many candied haws to the children in the village last time." Hu Yadong said.

"Such a temper, just like Tiezhu, she is a good child. For a good child, we should give her some rewards. In fact, this small cart is not very troublesome. It is not a big horse-drawn carriage for pulling things. It is easy to make."

"It makes everyone worry about it. In the future, we can't let her do whatever she wants." Chen Tiezhu said.

"What can Doudou want? She has no worries about food and drink in your house, so these are the only things she needs." Hu Yadong said indifferently.

"You look like you're going to catch some fish? Then go quickly. It's almost noon, and you still have to cook for the girl?"

"Yes, I'll go catch some fish. But you don't have to send her today. She's eating in the company cafeteria." Chen Tiezhu nodded with a smile.

"Let's go catch some fish."

Doudou climbed onto the car again and shouted happily.

"Let's go."

Chen Tiezhu waved his hand.

"Let's go"

Doudou imitated a sentence and pulled the reins.

The car started, and the bell tied to the side made a crisp sound.

This made Doudou even happier, the sound was nice.

On the contrary, the silly roe deer lying in the car was aroused by curiosity, and his eyes once again shone with wisdom. He had to study where the noise came from.

Looking at its silly look, Chen Tiezhu didn't know what to say, so he just let it go.

"Uncle, this is the little car that everyone took the initiative to make for Doudou. I think the carpentry skills are really good, and it's very well made." Qi Cuiwen said.

"In fact, there are also craftsmen in our countryside. They may not be very famous, but their skills are all good." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Take this little car for exampleWell, the carpentry work must have been done by Uncle Dong and Uncle Nan. There are many iron parts on it that cannot be bought outside, and they must have been made by the blacksmith in our village. "

"In addition to the wheels, axles and so on, there are so many parts on the car. Although it can't be put together, everyone is busy."

"It's done, I won't sell this car no matter how much it costs." Lu Dan sighed.

"Well, it can't be sold." Doudou said nervously.

"Don't worry, this is your exclusive car. Later, Dad will prepare a place for you in the shed at home for you to park your car." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Oh..., Doudou, did you catch the car? But Jun."

"Doudou, don't drive too fast when driving the car, it will be bumpy."

"Tiezhu, the onions at home are almost gone, right? I'll ask Doudou to drive the cart to my aunt's house to pick up a bundle of stuff later."

"How come Doudou is so energetic? He drives the cart very skillfully. "

……

Everyone who passes by will praise Doudou no matter who they meet.

For Doudou, who likes to be praised the most, this is really happier than eating meat.

The little mouth is so happy that it can't close. When seeing people, it must be happy first.

Chen Tiezhu is very emotional. His precious daughter has become the village's favorite.

The information revealed in everyone's words is very clear. Everyone in the village knows that a small car is being prepared for the little guy, but his family doesn't know.

The second master is also very tight-lipped. He never revealed anything.

Anyway, Chen Tiezhu is very satisfied now. His little contribution to the village can be exchanged for such a big reward. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?

This happiness of my daughter is really something you can't buy with any money.

Doudou is really happy now. She is pulling her friends in the car, and there are two sisters on both sides to protect her. She looks really happy.

"Dad, walk faster, you can't keep up. "

The little guy turned around and shouted.

"You're still urging me. I don't know who always took the little animals running around." Chen Tiezhu complained.

But Doudou didn't care at all and was still happy.
