Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 34 Unexpected surprise
After returning from the Duji clinic, Lao Mu asked Xiuhua to boil a large pot of boiling water that night. The bottom fire in the kitchen and the temperature of the boiling water increased the indoor temperature a lot. Although Mu Zhen, who was naked, still felt a little cold , but according to the doctor, this is also the most effective treatment method. I washed it thoroughly, then applied the lotion and ointment, changed into the clothes that Xiuhua had prepared, and took off the clothes with a strong sulfur smell .According to Dr. Du's instructions, Xiuhua disinfected Mu Zhen's changed clothes, sheets and other bedding with boiling water.Just as the Spring Festival is being celebrated happily, Lao Mu's family is busy in the "war" to cure scabies.

It’s New Year’s Eve in a blink of an eye, and the end of the lunar calendar is the most like the end of the year. Just after breakfast, there are clanging sounds of chopping meat, which constitute the most concise and lively symphony in the countryside.Lao Mu cooperated with Xiuhua to pick up a green onion and just peeled off a layer of skin when he heard a familiar voice: "Are you at home?"

It was Tian Cheng's voice, a unique double voice mixed with men and women, the voice had the mixed thickness of a man, but also contained the squeaky voice of a woman.

"It's in the house!" Mu Bao, who was preparing to set off the whip outside the gate, responded.

Lao Mu hastily put down the green onion in his hand and came out to meet him.

"It's Chinese New Year, why aren't you busy?" Old Mu asked in surprise.

This old classmate has rarely seen him since raising his beloved piglet. Apart from taking care of his piglet every day, he is also busy with the affairs of the village. He has become the most busy person in the village. What about others?The answer I get is always that if I am not in the village, I must be in the pigsty.During this period, I also listened to Xiuhua nagging about his stories in the pigsty.

"No matter how busy we are, we still have to celebrate the New Year!" Tian Cheng spread his hands, and continued: "The New Year is our year, we can't let the New Year pass just because we raise pigs! Everyone has helped a lot, this is not a New Year, I Please have a meal with everyone, so I can communicate with you about my harvest this year!"

Lao Mu knew that the price of pork this year had increased a lot compared to last year, so Tiancheng's income should still be good.

"Okay, this is good, you don't forget us poor people when you get rich!" Old Mu joked.

"That's, besides, aren't we not rich yet?" Tian Cheng curled his lips.

"It doesn't matter whether you are rich or not, what matters is our brotherhood!" Wang Tiancheng deliberately prolonged the word "friendship".

"Then go to your house or the pigsty later?" Lao Mu learned from Xiuhua that the house Tian Cheng built in the pigsty can cook and eat. In order to take good care of his pigs, it is common for him to eat and live in the pigsty. thing.

"At home, where can I invite you to the pigsty!" Tian Cheng smiled and pursed his lips.

"Okay, I'll go in a while." Tian Cheng's kindness was hard to refuse, and Lao Mu naturally agreed.

"Then I'll invite other people!" Tian Cheng said, and waved to Lao Mu: "Don't take too long, let everyone wait for you for a long time!"

"Don't worry about me, I'll be there if you can't go home!" Lao Mu raised his hand to promise.

When Lao Mu came to Tian Cheng's house, he saw seven or eight people sitting in front of the Eight Immortals Table directly opposite the main room. Although these seven or eight people were not prominent figures in the village, Lao Mu felt that these people must have a good relationship with Tian Cheng, so they were rejected. Please come and eat with us.

Everyone stood up when they saw Lao Mu coming in. Everyone seemed to respect this Lao Mu who was teaching at the school. After all, there are not many educated people here, and there are not many people with such a high education as Lao Mu. , so everyone greeted him very politely.

Lao Mu looked around at the people sitting around the table, and felt very puzzled. These people were ordinary villagers, and there was nothing special about them. What was the purpose of the old classmate inviting these people here?
Lao Mu also politely talked back to everyone.While doing homework, another person came in following Tian Cheng outside the door, everyone knew him, this was Bu San who was borrowing the place of Xiaowangzhuang for the past few days to carry out butchering, what was he doing here?This made Lao Mu even more puzzled. This is a gathering of the villagers, and Bu San is still the host to treat the guests?
Although everyone showed a dazed look, out of courtesy, when they saw Tian Cheng's return, they stood up very politely.

Wang Tiancheng saw everyone's doubts, took Bu San's hand and explained: "Everyone is invited to come today, and there is no one else, mainly the neighbor who helped me build the pigsty at that time. Brother Bu is a noble person I invited. He Slaughtering here is actually helping me. If I were to kill so many pigs, I would really worry about selling them. With his years of sales experience, he not only sold well, but also brought in good pigs from other places. The young pigs are slaughtered here, and all of them are sold out, and they will be the nobles in my life in the future, so please come and sit down and chat."

It was only then that Lao Mu realized that this banquet was a thank you banquet.The one who helped the most was Bu San in front of him, Lao Mu's meditating Kong'er, Tian Cheng very politely asked Bu San to sit beside the seat reserved for him by everyone, this seat was the VIP seat.

"I can sit as I please, there is no need to be so polite!" As he spoke, he was about to sit down on the seat next to the door.

Tian Cheng hastily pulled him back: "Today, this seat is reserved for you, if you don't sit, where else will someone sit?"

Everyone also echoed in unison: "Yes, yes!"

Bu San couldn't refuse anymore, so he sat down on the VIP seat in everyone's eyes.

"Today's meal, I asked everyone to come to express my gratitude for your support!" Tian Cheng said a little excitedly.

As soon as Tian Cheng issued the command to greet his family members to "serve the food", within a few minutes, a table was filled with sumptuous dishes. Tian Cheng took out the rice wine he had prepared and filled the cups in front of everyone.

"This first wine is for me to wish everyone a happy Chinese New Year! I took the lead in doing it!" After speaking, he raised his neck and drank Sanqian's wine.

The same goes for everyone's toasting hands. They sip it to their mouths and their faces are dry.

"This second drink is to express my gratitude to my sideline business, everyone who has contributed money, effort, and support and help!" Then there was another movement of raising the neck, and the pouring of the glass was another upturned .

Everyone still drank it up.

After two glasses of wine, Tian Cheng picked up the chopsticks in front of him: "It's already morning, please eat something first!"

Everyone expressed a little politeness and began to pick up the dishes in front of them.

After drinking for three rounds, Bu San took the lead to hold up the wine glass: "I've been busy here for the past few days, and the help you have given me is something I will never forget. Here, I would like to offer a toast to everyone with flowers!"

After finishing the wine, Bu San casually took out a thick paper bag from his bag, put it on the table and pushed it in front of Tian Cheng who was sitting beside him: "Everyone, please bear witness, this is my pig's money for brother Tian Cheng. Without Brother Tiancheng's help, how can I earn some money before the festival?" He raised his full wine glass again and said, "Thank you again to Brother Tiancheng!" The wine has bottomed out.

Everyone drank to their heart's content, unknowingly they had been drinking for more than two hours, and several plates of meat dishes had bottomed out. When everyone was full and ready to leave, Tian Cheng took out the red envelopes he had prepared and handed them to everyone.

"Don't look outside, no matter how much it is, it's my Tiancheng's heart. These days, everyone has contributed to my pigsty. Without everyone's help, my Tiancheng's pigsty would not be as smooth as it is today. Everyone help me, How dare I forget that one day I will really get rich and give everyone a bigger red envelope!" Tian Cheng said with two hands gesturing in front of him.

After receiving the red envelope from Tian Cheng's hand, everyone was very surprised. In their opinion, neighbors should help each other, not to mention Tian Cheng often helped everyone solve practical problems in life.

Everyone felt embarrassed and greeted each other for a while, then slowly put away their red envelopes and went home.

After returning home, Lao Mu gently opened the red envelope. He quickly twisted the brand new ten-yuan bills. There were three bills in total. These three bills were his two-month salary at school. look.

"We went to help out in the past six months, and never thought of taking his money. I think it's right for the neighbors to help. You see, Tian Cheng is really caring. He doesn't forget everyone when he has money. He also gives everyone red envelopes. What's next? , there will be more people to help!" Although Xiuhua said that she didn't need money for her help, she really felt like a spring breeze when she received this red envelope, full of warmth.

"My classmate is not an ordinary person. You can see that he is not only busy raising pigs. In order to raise pigs well and master the technology, he also applied to the County Agricultural Broadcasting School to study, and used the knowledge he learned in his own pigsty. , It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!" Lao Mu said a little proudly.

"He is a very capable person. You can see that he usually handles the affairs of the village in an orderly manner. No one praises him. During the Spring Festival, he gives out red envelopes to win people's hearts. No matter what he wants to do in the future, someone will be willing to help him!" Xiuhua is very serious. say.

Old Mu was silent, but in his heart, this classmate who admired him very much in the past will have a bright future in the future!

After the joy, the old Mu's family did not indulge in the festive New Year, but paid more attention to the mange on Mu Zhen's body. Even on the first day of the new year, they did not dare to take it lightly. But the "war" to eradicate the mange on Mu Zhen's body is still going on.Drying the quilt, ironing clothes, bathing, and applying medicine are indispensable. Mu Zhen found that the scabies on her body had decreased exponentially, and there were no new occurrences. The "war" on Mu Zhen's scabies was about to be won. , Mu Zhen's mood also improved.This incident made Mu Zhen understand a simple truth - the whole family works together to push mountains and fall, and it is not difficult to change water.
