1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

The next morning, Chen Tiezhu also tried to save trouble by making some dumpling soup and boiling two eggs.

On the contrary, Goushengzi was very worried. This stuff smelled really good, but it was a bit hot on the tongue.

"Are you still picky? Compare and learn from Dahuang." Chen Tiezhu touched its forehead.

"Dahuang is so capable, but you only know how to eat and sleep all day. Can you be a hunting dog in the future? I think you will be a sleeping dog."

"Woof, woof..."

Goushengzi protested his accusation with dissatisfaction.

What does hunting have to do with me? I'm only a few months old?

"Doudou, daddy will put away this yellow lump first. When you want to play with it, ask daddy for it." Chen Tiezhu picked up the gold bars scattered on the kang again.

"Well, it's not fun."

Doudou, who was trying hard to eat the dumpling soup, took the time to reply.

"Hey, if it's not fun, who would have wanted to sleep last night?" Chen Tiezhu said happily.

Doudou pretended not to hear it. The poached eggs are really delicious.

But the egg yolks are not very delicious, so give them to dad and replace dad's egg whites.

After Chen Tiezhu finished cleaning up, he saw two egg yolks in his bowl. Doudou, who was next to him, was still eating silently, and he was a little helpless.

Is it so easy to take care of children?

What good things are you thinking about.

When he went to bed last night, the gold bars hurt his old waist.

Doudou is still quite well-behaved, even like this. If he was a little more naughty, he would definitely raise his hands and surrender.

After the lively and somewhat chaotic breakfast, Chen Tiezhu swept the yard with a big broom, and then led Doudou and Gou Shengzi to the village entrance.

"Zhuzi, hurry up, it will take a while for the second master to come back."

"Tiezhu, take good care of that mushroom, and when it's done, I'll grow mushrooms with you."

"Tiezhu, if there's work at home, just let me know, we're all so idle now."

...

The villagers of Erdaoling who passed by greeted him warmly.

He responded casually, somewhat uncomfortable.

He didn't enjoy this treatment before.

"Uncle Jianguo, why does it seem like everyone in the village has come out?" Chen Tiezhu asked curiously as he squeezed to the front.

"Everyone knows that the second uncle went into the mountains for the good of our village. When they heard that he was coming back today, they all wanted to pick him up." He Jianguo said with a smile.

"This is the affection in our village, which you don't see at ordinary times. But if something really happens, we'll see each other there."

Chen Tiezhu nodded.

It's been several days since I was reborn, and I thought I knew this village pretty well. In fact, it's just the tip of the iceberg.

Today's scene had another impact on him, making his thoughts yesterday more firm.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the ambulance drove over.

"Fire the cannon."

He Jianguo waved his hand.

The young men guarding in the front held firecrackers and set them off with a "bang... bang".

Frightened by the sound, Gou Shengzi hid directly beside Doudou's legs.

"Oh, Yingzi, you're here too."

The ambulance stopped steadily, and seeing that Han Xiuying was the first to get off, Chen Tiezhu ran over.

"Go aside, Erye wants to walk home by himself, and the truck carrying materials is following behind." Han Xiuying pushed him away.

At this time, Erye also got off the ambulance with a coat and an arm in a sling, and was supported by Fang Zhiyong.

Chen Tiezhu was a little puzzled. Fang Zhiyong was the director of the Department of Surgery, so why did he follow?

But he didn't have the energy to think about it, so he came over to help.

Although the old man looked a little embarrassed after this disaster, he looked very energetic now.

"Thank you, fellow villagers."

The second master looked around and said in a deep voice.

"Our Erdaoling Village guards the mountain, and we can hunt but not indiscriminately. In the past, people respected me, an old man, and gave me some face."

"But if we encounter people who eat raw meat, I, an old man, can't help. This time I was almost dead, thanks to Tiezhu. If it weren't for him, I would have died long ago."

"I won't say much about other things. Everyone respects me, calls me the second master, and lets me be the old leader. I know it's not working."

"In the future, Tiezhu will be the leader of our village. Tiezhu is actually a good boy. In the future, if you have something, just go to him. It's more useful than me."

The already quiet scene became even quieter as the second master's voice fell.

Even Chen Tiezhu didn't expect that the second master would announce this matter as soon as he came back. It is conceivable that this news would be a big shock to the villagers.How great is the impact on them.

"Baotou" is not just a title, but also a responsibility, and it also has a very high status in Erdaoling Village.

To put it bluntly, everything on the mountain is under the control of Chen Tiezhu.

In this regard, even He Jianguo, the branch secretary and part-time village chief, must abide by it.

It can be said that Chen Tiezhu's original status in the village was in his newly dug cellar, but now? It has jumped up all of a sudden.

For these situations, many villagers are temporarily unable to accept it.

After all, the significance of Baotou is extraordinary.

"It is said that Tiezhu is quite powerful now. Can he really become the head of the gang?"

"It is hard to say, but after all, it was the second master who appointed him, so it should be okay."

"It is hard to say. Anyway, a lot of people were arrested in the mountains that day. Were they arrested by Tiezhu?"

"Come on, do you think the police are just for show? Those were the people arrested by the police."

...

"Second master, isn't it too early?" Chen Tiezhu said with a wry smile while listening to the villagers' discussion.

Second master smiled and patted his hands, "Not at all. Captain Jiang came to see me yesterday and talked to him for a long time. You have to be the head of the gang to be qualified."

For some reason, Chen Tiezhu felt that there was something else in the smile of the second master.

"Young head, should we send the second master home first?" Han Xiuying teased with a smile.

"Why have you become as naughty as Doudou? Not obedient at all." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

"What's wrong? Just call him, Young Master, Young Master, Young Master..." Han Xiuying was not convinced at all.

Seeing the two bickering, Erye smiled even more gratified.

"Second brother, should we take it slow in dealing with him?" Zhang Guangliang, who was following behind, asked with a guilty conscience.

"What's the point of being afraid of him? I don't know how he flatters Second Master. If he is really capable, can he live like this?" Zhang Guangming said indifferently.

Zhang Guangliang thought about it and it seemed to be the case.

Chen Tiezhu, who was walking in front, felt a little prickly on his neck.

This feeling was still very familiar.

Turning back, he was facing the fiery eyes of Director Fang.

He was so scared that he shuddered.
