My village can't be like this

82 The Return
The two sat on the chairs in the hospital lobby and finished the fried rice on their hands in two or three strokes.

Zhang An asked the doctor about the situation. After the bone setting was completed, it took about two hours for the plaster cast to come down.

After looking at it, there is no place that needs his help in the hospital, so Zhang An thought about going to the street to sell cherries for a while before coming back.

"Brother Shuanglin, it's still early for my sister-in-law. I'll go to my friend's side. Since my sister-in-law doesn't need to be hospitalized, I'll pick you up before three o'clock."

Zhang An estimated the time, and he would be back in about two or three hours.

"Okay, if you have something to do, go and do it first, we have nothing to do here."

Zhou Shuanglin originally wanted to give Zhang An some money to buy a bottle of water or popsicles to cool down, but the weather outside is really too hot.

But Zhang An refused without even thinking about it, and told Zhou Shuanglin that they were all from his own family, and that he could save a little by going out, so don't be so polite.

Zhou Shuanglin was so moved by what Zhang An said. He not only helped to send it to the hospital, but also thought about saving money for his family.

This kind of favor is not ordinary, ordinary people help to send it over, you have to take care of food and drink, otherwise it will be unreasonable for you to spread the word, and no one will help you next time.

Zhang An didn't care about these things, even if he changed his family for a few days, Zhang An would do the same. Everyone in the village is in poor condition, so it's a little bit to help save a little.

In addition, Zhou Shuanglin's family has a good relationship with his family.

His son Zhou Yang and Zhang An were classmates from elementary school to junior high school, and their relationship has always been close.

Although the two have always been classmates, since childhood, every time Zhou Yang saw him, it was Uncle An, Uncle An.

There is no way, Zhang An's seniority is high, Zhou Yang's grandmother is Zhang An's cousin, and she is still relatively close.

Zhou Yang used to call Zhang An by his first name when he was young, but after being caught and taught by Zhou Yang's grandma several times later, he kept calling him uncle.

At that time, Zhang An was quite calm. Every time Zhou Yang didn’t call him uncle, but only called him by name, he would complain to Zhou Yang’s grandma, so Zhou Yang was always taught by his grandma. I don't know that it was Zhang An who filed a black case later.

But later, when both of them grew up, Zhou Yang got used to calling Zhang An uncle, but Zhang An became unaccustomed to it, and told Zhou Yang every time that it was enough to call him by name instead of uncle.

It is true that some children have a disposition, which is probably a kind of psychological superiority.

Rural people care too much about the etiquette of this appellation, no matter what they think in their hearts, they never want to be talked about.Especially the elderly in the family, I am afraid that if they fail to do a good job, it will ruin their reputation if it is spread out, especially among relatives who are relatively close.

Of course, apart from the old woman's house diagonally across the door, Zhang An doesn't have a good impression of their family. When she was a child, the dead old woman often quarreled with her mother and cursed at every turn. Their family will never survive this life.

Zhang An drove to the place where cherries were sold before, and on the way there had already taken out several baskets of cherries from the space and put them on the car seat.

The family has been spending a lot recently, so I have to get some money back to make up for it. I can't just go out and not in all the time, and I will sit and eat.

But today's business was unexpectedly good. There were people coming and going under the overpass. Zhang An didn't expect that a group of people would gather around him as soon as he put the cherries out.

He still has impressions of many individuals and has bought them before.

He sells space cherries for six yuan a catty, the same price as last year.

But even so, there are still a lot of people who buy it. Although some people still come to Zhang An to bargain, this is probably because they find it interesting.

The result is not important, just enjoy the process.

This may have something to do with the hot weather. It is now a serious summer, and most of the cherries are out of the market. Only a few late-maturing varieties are still hanging on the trees.

Zhang An was on the side of the road and saw a big sister selling Liangpi. He was a little greedy, so he bought a bowl of Liangpi and sold it while eating by the car. It is refreshing to eat this stuff on a hot day.

In more than an hour, the three baskets of cherries that Zhang An brought out were all sold out, and many people asked Zhang An if there were any more, and then Zhang An took out another basket, which was picked up in two or three strokes.

You can’t continue to take out the back. The back seat of your pickup truck can hold three or four baskets at most, and the time is almost up. You have to go back to the county hospital to pick up Brother Shuanglin and his wife.

Thinking of the Liangpi he ate just now, Zhang An went to the farmer's market for a stroll.I bought a few catties of cold noodle from a noodle stall in the vegetable market. The weather outside was too hot, and it was not easy to put the cold noodle in the car, so Zhang An threw it into the space to store it.

I have eaten it myself, and I want to buy some back home, so that my parents can taste it too. If the family wants to eat this food, they have to go to the town to buy it, so Zhang An wants to buy more.

Then he went to the store and bought two cans of canned fruit, which Zhang An bought for his sister-in-law Zhou.

Generally, relatives and friends in the village are sick or injured, and everyone will bring something to visit. Anyway, if they see it, they will buy two cans by the way. When the time comes, they will take them back and let their mother come to visit.

When most people went to visit patients, they chose to bring canned food, so Zhang An followed the trend.

It was only a little past two o'clock when Zhang An came to the county hospital, and he quickly found Zhou Shuanglin and his wife.

The plaster cast on sister-in-law Zhou's leg has been put on and bandaged.

But the doctor is giving medical orders to the two, and then they have to go to get the medicine.Although the doctor had asked Zhou Shuanglin to pay the medical expenses after Zhang An left, he had to go to the window to check out the bill after the medicine was prescribed, and the overpayment was refunded and the underpayment was underpaid.

After sitting in the hospital lobby for about half an hour, it was already done there.

Wait for the doctor to explain what they need to pay attention to, when to come back for a review, and so on.

Zhang An helped brother Shuanglin to help sister-in-law Zhou into the car, and the group was ready to go back.

Although it is said that sister-in-law Zhou will not be able to go to the ground for a long time in the future, after all, she will be hurt for a hundred days.

But this result is already very good, at least there is no need to be hospitalized, otherwise it will cost a lot of money to be hospitalized, and someone at home will have to take care of it.

Back home, at least you don't have to pay extra expenses, and it's much more convenient to take care of.

On the way back, Zhang An drove a lot slower. It was a special situation when he came in the morning, and he needed to race against time. Now, if you are not in a hurry, drive slowly. Safety is the most important thing.

When they arrived in the village, Zhang An sent the man to the gate of Zhou Yang's house before leaving.

Zhang An returned home and handed the bought Liangpi and canned food to his mother.

"Have you eaten yet, or let me make you something to eat."

Seeing that Zhang An would come back, Wang Fang first asked her son if he had eaten.

"Mom, we've already bought food on the street, so there's no need to do it."

"Mom, take these two bottles of canned food to see Mrs. Zhou at night, and bring some duck eggs. I'll make this cold noodle later. Make a cold noodle with red oil and chili. We also have Zhe Ergen and shallots in our vegetable garden." , get some to mix and eat at night.”

Wang Fang took the things Zhang An handed over, and she didn't say that Zhang An likes to spend money randomly, because Zhang An's family has earned a lot of money this year.

Then he remembered Mrs. Zhou who was going to the hospital, and asked Zhang An.

"Is your sister-in-law okay?"

"The situation is not too bad. Although the bone is broken and the doctor put plaster on it, it is the best result not to be hospitalized. You can go home and recuperate, but you won't be able to get to the ground in a short time. The crops in the field will have to rely on double Lin Ge is alone."

"Hey, what can I do? This person's luck is not good. I met him here. He has been injured for a hundred days. He needs to take a good rest. It's better to come back. It's more convenient for him to do anything at home, and he can find it by himself." Eat some herbal medicine for bone injuries."

After Zhang An rested at home, he took the hoe to the vegetable garden to dig the ears.

Zheergen, coriander, and shallots are all indispensable.

These folded ear roots were dug back from the mountain by Zhang An, and they were buried in the garden when they couldn’t finish eating them. I didn’t expect them to grow so well. It was too troublesome to go to the mountain to dig them every time I wanted to eat them. Now it’s fine. If you want to eat, just take a hoe and dig in the garden.

The dinner in the evening was of course Liangpi, and Zhang An mixed a bowl full of Liangpi.

Wang Fang's own red oil pepper was poured in it, and Zhang An put a lot of chopped Zheer root and coriander, and some sauerkraut.

In Zhang An's eyes, this is a rare delicacy in the world.

Zhang An's taste is better than that sold by the big sister on the street, because the red oil chili in Zhang An's family is made by Wang Fang himself.

She has her own special recipe for making this red oil chili, not to mention eating, it just smells delicious.

Anyone in the village will ask her to help make a pot of oil and chili for the banquet.

In the past, Wang Fang only made oily chili with oil and chili, and added some peanuts and fried beans at most, but now the conditions at home are better, every time when making red oily chili, Zhang An will buy some meat and cut it into minced meat Cook together.

So now Zhang An's red oil chili can be used as a seasoning, and can also be used directly with rice.
