1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"What's wrong? Did you step on dog shit?" Chen Tiezhu asked seriously. "What the hell is it? Why would I step on that?" Han Zhenwen asked depressedly. "If you didn't step on dog shit, how could you be so happy? Wenwen didn't come today, how could you be so happy?" Chen Tiezhu pinched his chin and asked playfully. Zhou Fengxia and Lu Dan were very happy, which was Chen Tiezhu's usual style. "Brother-in-law, you are so frivolous every day, and my sister doesn't care about you?" Han Zhenwen asked with a bitter face. "Hehe, she likes people like me, what can you do. Get in the car, Xiao Zhou and Dandan are reunited after a long time." Chen Tiezhu greeted. "Master, what do you mean by reunion after a long time?" Lu Dan asked with a smile. "One day without seeing you is like three years. Tell me, how long have you two not seen each other? How many years have passed?" Chen Tiezhu said seriously.

"Eh? That makes sense."

Lu Dan thought about it and nodded.

"Are you still okay? I have to get down to business." Han Zhenwen was a little anxious.

"What's the matter? Are you going to get engaged to Wenwen?" Chen Tiezhu asked curiously.

"Doudou, take care of your dad." Han Zhenwen was about to cry.

"Uncle, Doudou can't take care of it. Dad is too old." Doudou said seriously.

"Hahahaha, this is my eldest daughter. What good thing is it?" Chen Tiezhu asked happily.

"Didn't you ask me to study that asbestos? I also referred to a lot of information, both domestic and foreign. The harm of this thing is really great." Han Zhenwen said seriously.

"Actually, I shouldn't be happy about this, although it can make my paper more substantial. However, in the production and use of asbestos products, it does bring great harm."

"It's just that such harm was not so obvious at the time. Although some labor protection has been done in China, it seems that it has not attracted enough attention."

"Should I be happy? You have to write this paper." Chen Tiezhu said.

"It would be better if it can play a certain warning role in the industry. At least it can help some people. Of course, you will also become the public enemy of the industry."

"The sales of some asbestos products will definitely be affected, and manufacturers must increase their investment in labor protection."

"I'm not afraid of this. What if I find a problem but can't say it?" Han Zhenwen said indifferently.

"Yes, then just get it out unswervingly." Chen Tiezhu was even more indifferent.

"Brother-in-law, can't we be serious? I'm a little nervous. When I finish writing, can you help me take a look?" Han Zhenwen asked tentatively.

"What's so stressful about this? You just need to speak with facts. But I think that if you want to finish this paper, you have to go to the provincial hospital to complete it." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Some of the instruments and equipment in the county hospital are probably difficult to support this research. Hang on a little longer, we will go to the provincial capital in a few days, and then you can go to the road with Wenwen."

Han Zhenwen gave up. His brother-in-law is like this. What can you do with him?

"Dad, why do you want to go to the road? Won't the road be damaged?" Doudou asked curiously.

"Haha, you are still young, you will know what's going on when you grow up." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

"Don't worry about this matter so much. Why do you have such a twisted personality? Just do what you have to do. It's not like this matter was caused by you. You just found the problem."

"Also, Dandan can't be careless. You have to carefully count the data of the operation later, and then we have to write the paper. This is a task."

"I know..." Lu Dan stretched out his voice.

"Zhou'er." Chen Tiezhu spoke again.

"Brother Chen, I can't write a paper." Zhou Fengxia said hurriedly.

"Did you write a paper? Dandan is so worried, are you still a caring boyfriend? You have to give some comfort or something." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

Zhou Fengxia directly raised her thumbs, "Brother Chen is really good at fanning the flames."

"Of course, he is my master. But don't you have to show some expression? Just watching me worry?" Lu Dan also said with a smile.

"Of course there is. When we get home after dinner, if we don't have a road to drive on, we can drive on the village road." Zhou Fengxia said hurriedly.

"Oh, what nonsense are you talking about."

He was so frank that Lu Dan was embarrassed.It can be regarded as livening up the atmosphere. Anyway, the way back was full of laughter.

When we got home, it was even more so.

Little Doudou was the happiest one.

These people were all good to her. Now that they were all together, how could she not be happy?

"Brother-in-law, isn't it time to get off work? Why hasn't my sister come back yet?"

After helping out, Han Zhenwen asked.

"Now your sister's normal time to get off work will be delayed by more than half an hour, and the longest is about an hour." Chen Tiezhu said.

"The labor export project has reached a critical moment, and her mind is now on it. This makes me feel distressed, there is no way, no way."

Han Zhenwen curled his lips when he heard it. His brother-in-law is so powerful that he is not ashamed to say anything.

And today, Han Xiuying's overtime work really went along with Chen Tiezhu's words and came back an hour later than usual.

Chen Tiezhu sat in the yard waiting eagerly. When he saw the car stopped, he ran over to help open the door.

"Hey? Xiao Zhou is here too." Han Xiuying greeted with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, your work has been too hard recently." Zhou Fengxia said.

"It's not hard or not, it's work after all." Han Xiuying said with a smile.

"You have to eat well today. You are all very busy now. It's not easy to get together. What did Doudou play in kindergarten today?"

"Sister Yingzi, eat first. After dinner, Doudou will tell Sister Yingzi." Doudou said happily.

"Where are the old men?" Han Xiuying asked again.

"Uncle Dong's family made sorghum rice dumplings, and they all went over there to eat." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Then don't wait for me to eat in the future. Sometimes I really don't know how busy I will be." Han Xiuying said casually.

"What can we do? If you don't come back, is this home still home? Nothing will taste good." Chen Tiezhu said seriously.

He poured water for Han Xiuying and prepared towels.

Seeing his attentive service, Zhou Fengxia and Han Zhenwen suddenly felt great pressure.

With this "role model" around, how can they live their lives in the future?
