Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 10 There are bad people among the crowd [-]

After Gu Weijun left the courtyard, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative first and told Sister Xiaoqing that he would have dinner at Tiezi's house in the evening.When he came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Gu Weijun had another sack on his shoulders.

We arrived at Zhao Chenggang's house with three kilos and five kilos. As soon as we untied the sacks, Xiaoyu burst into cheers. 2 kilograms of beef, 2 kilograms of pork, 2 bags of 20 kilograms of rice, 2 bags of 20 kilograms of white flour, 1 bag of 5 kilograms of white flour and 40 egg.

Gu Weijun hugged Yang Yu's neck fiercely, "If you want money, 1 cent for rice and white flour, 5 cents for eggs, go home and get the money!"

"Besides, after you go home and put away your things, go find Uncle Yang and ask him to cooperate with me. These things were all brought by Uncle Yang, understand?" The chicken on Xiaoyu's head pecked at the rice, and there was only flesh in his eyes. .

Gu Weijun slapped his forehead. It was over. The kid was dumbfounded. Then he turned to Zhao Chenggang and said, "Tie Zi, you too!"

Zhao Chenggang also smiled "hehe", but he immediately went into the bedroom to find Zhao's mother and took five yuan and gave it to Gu Weijun.

Gu Weijun casually put the money in his pocket, then found a bag with Zhao Chenggang, carefully put the rice, flour and 20 eggs into the bag, then put the bag into Yang Yu's arms and kicked his butt at the same time, " Get out of here!"

Zhao Chenggang kneaded and fermented the noodles, while Gu Weijun cooked the dishes.

Cut the beef into pieces, add cold water to the pot, skim off the foam after boiling, add ginger, green onions, a few drops of white wine after 5 minutes, turn to low heat and continue to simmer.

Bake the pork skin, brush it clean and stir-fry the oil. When the skin is golden, take it out. Add rock sugar to the pot and stir-fry until the color becomes sugary. Add the pork and stir-fry. Add ginger and green onions at the same time, then pour in soy sauce to adjust the color, and run the boiling water over the pork. centimeters, after boiling the pot, add a few drops of white wine to increase the aroma, and continue to simmer over low heat.

When Gu's mother and Yang's mother arrived, the whole courtyard was filled with fragrance. Yang Yu, who was following behind the two mothers, winked at Gu Weijun, which made Gu Weijun feel at ease.

Mother Gu first took Mother Yang into the house and chatted with Mother Zhao about the household chores. She glanced at the rice vat pretending to be casual and nodded with satisfaction.As a result, when Gu's mother opened the lid of the pot, she exclaimed, "You bastard, your life is over!" After chasing Gu Weijun, he was beaten and beaten again and again!
The arrival of the mothers directly deprived Chef Gu of his position. He added carrots to the beef and potatoes to the pork.
When all the fathers arrived, four cold dishes: spicy shredded radish, fresh spicy cabbage, hot and sour potato shreds, and garlic cucumber shreds were served directly to the table, allowing the gentlemen to drink first.Well, a few young men have now joined the old men's team, plus Zhao's father's apprentice Ren Jun.

Several mothers and their children, including Yang Qing who was not married, were chatting around the stove, but their inadvertent stares at the stove and their constant swallowing of saliva also fully reflected the mood of the female generals.

The sound of "The steamed buns are ready" immediately ignited the female generals. They opened the steamer placed directly on the big pot. The meaty smell of beef and the sweetness of white noodles filled the courtyard, constantly stimulating everyone in the courtyard.

When it came to the dish, there were no other dishes, just a bowl of beef and radish, a bowl of braised pork and potatoes, and a bowl of white flour steamed buns.

Tiezi visited his neighbors one by one, and each family had a bowl of beef and radish, a bowl of braised pork and potatoes, and two white-flour steamed buns.Neighbors also give you a fish and half a chicken in my house in return.

When we started to eat, no one said anything, everyone just kept busy.After he was half full, he slowed down his pace and resumed talking and laughing.Mothers complained about their husbands and sons, while fathers talked about the whereabouts of their children.

Father Gu started first and asked Father Yang: "How are the children doing with their electrician studies now? What did the master electrician say?"

"Everyone studied well, especially Dajun. I also looked for electrical engineering textbooks and electrical engineering principles to read. Electrician Master Zhou said that he can take the exam now! Xiaoyu and Tiezi can study for another half a month and a month."

"The army goes to defend the department!" Father Zhao interrupted.

Dad Gu glanced at Dad Zhao doubtfully, "Dazhuang, you mean to send the army to the security department of the steel rolling mill?"

"Well, with the army here, Xiaoyu and Tiezi won't suffer!" Zhao's father was still concise and to the point.

Father Gu turned to Father Yang and asked, "Xingjian, what do you think?"

Yang's father thought for a moment and said, "What Da Zhuang said makes sense. If the army goes to defend Ke, we can protect the two children."

Dad Gu looked at the three brothers who were sitting upright and nodded, "Well, then let the army go to the security department?" After saying that, he turned to look at Zhao Dazhuang.

"I'll call Zhao Yang from the city bureau tomorrow." Father Zhao nodded.

Father Yang interrupted, "Is it Deputy Director Zhao of the Municipal Bureau?" Father Zhao nodded again.

Dad Gu glanced at Yang Yu again and said to Yang's father: "Xingjian, why don't you let Xiaoyu study medicine with me?"

"Haha, I wish I could have asked for it!" Yang's father slapped his thigh, "Xiaoyu, why don't you hurry up and give your master a toast?"

Xiao Yu excitedly picked up the wine glass and bowed to Dad Gu first, "Master, I respect you!" After saying that, he raised his neck and drank too much and coughed.Gu Weijun smiled and patted Yang Yu on the back. Dad Gu waved his hand to signal Xiao Yu to sit down. "Okay, I will tell Lao Li from the Health Bureau tomorrow. Xiaoyu, you first endorse with Da Jun, and then I will arrange for you to attend the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. First, the systematic study of the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine. There are many schools of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and we must learn from the strengths of each school. ; The second is the study of Western medicine, anatomy, pathology, and pharmacology, which must be combined and dialectical; the third is to have a further education certificate after graduation." Dad Gu noticed the envy in Zhao Chenggang's eyes and said softly: "Tiezi, you come too. , see if you like it." Zhao Chenggang said happily: "Yeah!"

Then Dad Gu looked seriously and scolded the three brothers: "However, you three must take the electrician certificate exam first, otherwise if Aunt Wang doesn't whip you, I will whip you too!"

"Haha, I have no arrangements here!" Yang's father pointed to the children at the next table, "The remaining children, Guohong and Dazhuang, please don't fight with me. I also want to do more for the supply and marketing cooperative. What a talented couple!"

After saying that, he teased the female family members at the next table, "It seems that there are still too few children. You should work hard to have a few more!"

"You can't just count on us lesbians to have a baby. If you gays can't do it, there's nothing we can do about it!" After Gu Ma finished speaking, the female relatives burst into laughter, and only Yang Qing blushed.

Yang's father turned around and asked Gu's father helplessly, "Guohong, when are you and your sister-in-law going to the Northeast this year? We have to get some ginseng, tiger penis, and deer penis soaked in wine to make up for it, otherwise the lesbians will not be satisfied! "Another burst of laughter!
Dad Gu responded with a smile, "Just give it another week to make arrangements for the children."

Then everyone talked about some customs and specialties of Northeast China, and then extended it to other parts of the country.

At the beginning of the lanterns, everyone who was full of wine and food agreed to meet again when Gu's parents came back from the northeast, and then they broke up and went home.

After seeing everyone off, Father Zhao said to Zhao Chenggang in a low tone: "Tiezi, the factory is the best!" He then told his apprentice, "It will be good for you to walk around more with the army!"

The next day, everyone with and without children took action!

Zhao Dazhuang entered Jiaodaokou Police Station early in the morning, went straight to the director's office, threw a cigarette to Director Zhang, picked up the phone, "Call me the Beijing City Public Security Bureau" and "Call Zhao Yangxian!"

Along with the "zilla sound", a mellow voice came from the other end of the phone, "I am Zhao Yangxian, who is this?"

"I, Zhao Dazhuang!"

"Haha, old squad leader, what a rare day today! Why did you remember to call me?" A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone.

"My nephew is a good young man, take a look!"

"The family?"

"His father retired from the 38th Army."

"Haha, okay, let him come to me tomorrow, and I'll keep the good ones in the city bureau!"

"Go to the rolling mill!"

"Oh, are you really your nephew?"

"Gu Weijun."

"Okay, I will give him a good test tomorrow! Old squad leader, make an appointment with Xiaomiao and the others to have a drink together some other time. How long has it been since we last met?"

"Okay!" Zhao Dazhuang put down the phone with a bang.

Director Zhang was holding a teacup and eavesdropping, "Hey, Lao Zhao, if there is a good seedling, you should also think about our office?"

"What a waste!" Zhao Dazhuang took the tea cup in Director Zhang's hand and took a big sip before returning it and turning around to go out.

"Xiao Ren, come with me to patrol!" "Master is here!"

"Hey, hey!" Director Zhang was speechless, "This Old Zhao!"

Yi Zhonghai specially waited for Qin Huairu to go to work this morning. He greeted and asked questions along the way and entered the factory gate. "Huairu, if you have any difficulties in life or work, please tell me. I know you are suffering, so don't worry." Don’t keep it to yourself.”

"What should I do if my body is broken? There are old people at the top and young ones at the bottom!"

"You go to the workshop first. I have something to ask Director Yang."

Yi Zhonghai walked towards the logistics building with great satisfaction, thinking about the various push-hands he had done, but he was not entirely in a mood.When he arrived at the factory director's office, Yi Zhonghai adjusted his mentality, took a deep breath, and said, "Take a breath."

"Come in!" "Old Yi is here?" Director Yang was pouring water sideways, "Sit down." He poured another cup of tea for Yi Zhonghai, "Old Yi, try it. I specially asked people to bring the Tieguanyin from Fujian. .”

Yi Zhonghai smelled it and took a sip, "It smells good!" "It's sweet in the mouth!"

"Haha, Lao Yi, you know tea! In autumn, you should drink Tieguanyin. Green tea is too cold, black tea is too hot, and oolong tea is just right. It clears away restlessness and quenches thirst, and stimulates the mouth and tongue."

Factory Director Yang then added water to Yi Zhonghai, "Old Yi, I wanted to thank you last time when I recruited workers. You responded very well, but things got messier later on. Thanks to the timely handling!"

"Is there anything going on this time?" Director Yang asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai felt more confident and organized his words, "Factory director, you also know that after I was busy with the factory affairs recently, I went to Shijingshan to cooperate with the workers there to renovate our factory. Study the equipment and parts process."

"While chatting in the middle, the workers there reported to me that they all heard that Dr. Gu in our factory has excellent medical skills. Is it because the conditions there are difficult that they don't support the main factory?"

"And workers in several workshops said so. I even specifically asked the affiliated hospital in Shijingshan, hoping to transfer Dr. Gu there!"

"Director, I think we and Shi Jingshan are brother companies after all. I still need to report this situation to you in time." Yi Zhonghai looked at Director Yang with a simple face.

Director Yang tapped the tea cup with his fingers, listened and thought, and then looked at Yi Zhonghai, "Okay, let me understand the situation."

Yi Zhonghai raised the tea cup a few times and said, "Director, I have to shamelessly take a few more sips. Such good tea is rare in Beijing."

"Haha, Lao Yi, come and sit down more often when you have time!" Director Yang laughed heartily.

After seeing off Yi Zhonghai, Director Yang paced around the office for a while, thinking, and then dialed Shi Jingshan's phone, "Hey, Director Wang, this is Old Yang!"
