1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

Such a large cart of cow dung, still dry, let alone the cellar mushroom house that Chen Tiezhu has dug out now, even if he builds another one, it is more than enough.

"I remind you, don't get too close to Liu Dayou." Han Xiuying whispered.

"What's the matter? The county wants to deal with him?" Chen Tiezhu asked curiously.

"How should I know? Anyway, I just think this person is not reliable." Han Xiuying said.

"That's okay, he won't ask me to do anything, just give me a few carts of dung, what should I be afraid of?" Chen Tiezhu said indifferently.

"By the way, I was planning to stew chicken at noon. I think beef is good. Do you like stewed radishes or potatoes? You have to decide on this matter."

"Don't you think about other things every day?" Han Xiuying asked again.

"Why not? But you have to eat when it's time to eat. Now that you have the conditions, don't you have to eat something more delicious?" Chen Tiezhu asked back with a smile.

Han Xiuying didn't know what to say.

Her reasons were legitimate, but Chen Tiezhu's were stronger.

"Oh, have you got the cow dung and straw?"

While unloading, Li Yinglin and Wang Lifeng came out from the back door.

"Brother Li, you came just in time. Let me introduce you to the farm manager Liu Dayou. It was Brother Liu who helped me get the cow dung." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Hello, Manager Liu, this is a great help to Tiezhu." Li Yinglin said.

"Li, you are too polite. We met several times at meetings, but we didn't have the opportunity to communicate. Tiezhu is my brother, and I can't just watch the fun if he can help me." Liu Dayou smiled.

Now there are more speculations about Chen Tiezhu's identity. This is really not simple.

"Comrade Xiao Wang, what are you doing with a coat?" Chen Tiezhu looked at Wang Lifeng.

"Li said your coat is all worn out. This is the new one he got this year." Wang Lifeng said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I can still fool you with this one." Chen Tiezhu said hurriedly.

"I can wear this one for a few more years. This one is too big. It fits you perfectly." Li Yinglin said with a smile.

Han Xiuying beside him bit her lips lightly and said nothing.

"Okay, I won't be hypocritical." Chen Tiezhu took the olive green military coat over.

"Today, Brother Liu came to give me warmth, so I borrowed his flowers to offer to Buddha. Let's have a good meal at noon. Brother Li also came to give me warmth. This coat is very heavy. I must keep warm this winter."

Military coats are definitely fashionable and popular items in the 1980s. With the rise in prices, the price is much more expensive now.

The one Chen Tiezhu is wearing now cost him 19 yuan at the beginning. That was a long time ago.

The olive green one that Li Yinglin brought to me now has a big fur collar and two yellow stripes on the cuffs. It looks like it belongs to the public security unit.

Wearing it like this will make you look very confident.

After taking a look, Chen Tiezhu took off the one he was wearing and stuffed it into Han Xiuying's arms, and put the new one on directly.

"Look, I told you, this one fits you well. When I wear it, I have to wear it like an opera singer." Li Yinglin said with a smile.

"It should be said that our brother Tiezhu is a clothes rack. No matter what clothes he wears, he looks so good." Liu Dayou also praised him on the side.

This made Li Yinglin confused about the real relationship between him and Chen Tiezhu.

In theory, Chen Tiezhu should be closer to Liu Dayou. What about now? Why is it the other way around?

"Take it off quickly, new clothes are so troublesome?"

Han Xiuying, who was holding the broken military coat on the side, said with a fierce face.

"Hehe, I'm just having a little fun."

Chen Tiezhu said with a smile, and had to change back quickly.

He was also very puzzled in his heart, wondering why Yingzi was so angry today.

He climbed onto the car again and pushed the cow dung down with a wooden shovel. With his participation, this job was really too easy.

"Okay, now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing." Chen Tiezhu clapped his hands.

"We have to hurry up and prepare lunch, I'll make the decision for Yingzi, we'll stew beef with radish, and I'll make a few pancakes."

"When do we have to stew some sauerkraut? I didn't make it yesterday." Wang Lifeng muttered.

"You're always thinking about eating, why don't you think about business?" Chen Tiezhu said with a fierce face, imitating Han Xiuying's behavior.

"Get out, hurry up and cook." Han Xiuying kicked him angrily, and then led Doudou and Gou Shengzi into the house.

"Show off, let you show off." Li Yinglin said gloatingly.

Chen Tiezhu scratched his head, "Brother Li, nothing happened after she went back yesterday? Why is she so upset today?"

"You ask me,Who should I ask? You must have provoked her, right?" Li Yinglin asked back.

Chen Tiezhu opened his mouth. How could he have provoked her?

But he didn't want to think about this matter for now. He still had to prepare today's lunch.

Cut the beef into pieces and blanch it in water. After washing, add soup directly to the pot and stew without adding oil.

"Kneading dough is a technical job. We will use half-hot dough to make pancakes today." Chen Tiezhu said after filling the bowl with dough.

"What is half-hot dough? It means using hot water of about 50 to 60 degrees. Don't use boiling water, warm water or cold water. Pour it in like this, stir it, and it's almost done now."

"One more point will make it thinner, and one less point will make it dryer. Just like now, the dough is not sticky after kneading, and this is the best ratio. Look, how good this dough is. ”

He praised himself, took the basin and put it on the dough, and started to knead the dough.

“Why should we worry about this? Just come to your house when you want to eat. Uncle Jianguo, is that the truth?” Li Yinglin asked with a smile.

“That’s right, I’ve been craving for food recently.” He Jianguo said happily.

“Hahaha, this is necessary.” Chen Tiezhu grinned happily.

“Yingzi, what’s in the bag you brought? Anyway, the dough has to wait for a while, so let’s take a look.”

“I also saw that your military coat is worn out, so I found an old one and you can wear it later. "Han Xiuying said expressionlessly, and stuffed the bundle on the kang into Chen Tiezhu's arms.

It seemed that the bundle was very hot, and then she sat on the kang with Doudou, and turned her head to one side.

With such a series of actions, not to mention Chen Tiezhu, even He Jianguo found something wrong.

After opening the bundle, everyone stared at it.

"Hey..., it has to be Yingzi, this is a treasure. The warmth given by Yingzi is the warmest."

After seeing the things inside clearly, Chen Tiezhu sighed.

Li Yinglin and Wang Lifeng didn't say anything, but just nodded vigorously.

Liu Dayou didn't say anything either, but the expression on his face kept changing.

Did he still underestimate Director Han?
