Li Qingjie replied with some embarrassment: "There are distinguished guests, we are Qiu Zi's comrades in arms, and I used to be Qiu Zi's soldier!"

"Ever? Then I changed jobs." Uncle Qiu heard the words, and enthusiastically boasted: "The work unit assigned by the country must be very good, otherwise..." Eyelids glanced up and down, envious but not greedy, just right The expression is beyond words.

"What's the matter! Our education level is not high, so it would be nice to have a serious job. The state-owned factory was good at first, but then it went bankrupt, and I was laid off too." Li Qingjie was embarrassed by his staring eyes. , scratching his head.

"Laid off." Although his heart was half cold, he still asked worriedly, "What's the matter?" As a village official, he still defended the government. "The government will not treat you soldiers badly, it will definitely..."

"Hehe...Second Uncle Qiu really guessed, the county arranged for us to enter a private factory." Li Qingjie said. [

"Ah! Private factory! There is no guarantee! Can it work?" Second Uncle Qiu asked worriedly at the right time.

"His second uncle, it's good! It's no worse than the state-run one. By the way, it's the factory that produces instant noodles and ham sausage, which the children are eating." Li Qingjie pointed to the crowded women and children outside the curtain.

"Oh! That factory! It's well-known, and it's advertised on national television." Uncle Qiu exclaimed, "That factory must be booming."

"That's right!" Li Qingjie listened to people's praise, just like himself, with an air of pride. "You don't know if you are old, our factory is very big."

"Second Uncle Qiu, thank you for taking care of Qiu Zi all these years." He Junyao remained silent.That guy can blow the sky up, even though what he said is true.

"That's what it should be. Don't say that we have relatives, just say that Qiu Zina is also a first-class combat hero who has gone out from our place. It's a pity that our place is poor! I always feel sorry for the hero." Qiu Er As the uncle spoke, the circles of his eyes turned red.

"His second uncle, what are you talking about? You have helped us a lot." Qiu Zi said.

The scene became cold and silent for a while, Second Uncle Qiu looked up at He Junyao who was always serious and changed the subject: "This is..."

Qiu Zi continued: "He is the company commander of our company. He took good care of me in the army at that time. Without him, maybe I really wouldn't be able to come back. They came this time to take me for treatment." Comrades What are they doing now?Qiu Zi really didn't know, he knew the details of He Junyao, but he was in the military.It is not close to those in the local area, and I haven't had time to ask for specifics.How could he not know what Uncle Qiu was thinking.With the reform and opening up, everyone wanted to make a fortune, and everyone wanted to get rich, but what Uncle Qiu had in mind was that the shaving stall was too hot.

Company Commander!This official position is too small!Second Uncle Qiu lowered his head and rubbed his fingers, thinking about it.

"Ah! So Yuanwazi can be cured!" The third uncle, who didn't speak, heard it.He said happily: "This is really great. If it is really good, I am sorry for Hui Rong and his wife. They have not given up for so many years. It is really hard for them. With such perseverance and tenacity, no big man can compare .”

"We plan to take him to have a look." He Junyao said.

Li Qingjie saw that he couldn't finish his meal today, and looked at the older girl and the younger daughter-in-law who were secretly looking at them outside. "Sister-in-law, we haven't eaten these things yet, so cook them up and give them to the children!"

"Then how can it be done?" After hearing his words, Mu Huirong walked in, shaking her head like a rattle, "No way! No way!"

"Just do as he said? Come to a bowl of rice porridge, just a steamed stuffed bun." He Junyao ordered directly.

"Listen to him, Hui Rong." Qiu Zi also said.

"Alright then!" Hui Rong called Qiu Lian to lift the steamer down.

Second Uncle Qiu felt embarrassed, "You see, we came here at an inappropriate time and interrupted your meal, really."

"It's okay?" Li Qingjie said with a heartless smile. [

"Then when are you leaving?" Third Uncle asked, he was very concerned about Qiu Zi's illness.

"If possible, I'll leave tomorrow, and the car will be parked in the county seat. I just don't know if Qiu Zi has anything to pack?" He Junyao looked over and asked.

"There's nothing to clean up, just bring two changes of clothes." Mu Huirong walked in and said, Qiu Lian was there for the big stew outside, so it's not a problem, and those old women are also there!

"It's better to get the treatment sooner rather than later. Go early and return early." The third uncle said, "Don't worry, we have our old bones at home for you to look after? We are all waiting for you to come back by yourself."

Uncle Qiu is not good, what are you talking about?People are here to treat illnesses and not to help them get rid of poverty and become rich. He can still distinguish this point. It is enough to express enough meaning, nothing more to be annoying.

"Hmm!" Qiu Zi choked up and leaned his head against the wall.

"I have to ask Qiu Lian to follow, so the little girl can take care of Qiu Zi." He Junyao continued.

"Okay! Qiu Lian also has experience in taking care of her over the years. I will guard this house and wait for you to come back." Mu Huirong said reassuringly.

"Does Qiu Zi have any questions?" He Junyao asked.

"I'm fine with all the arrangements you have made." Qiu Zi said in a hoarse voice.

The woman was busy preparing a large pot of vegetables, adding some Chinese cabbage and stewing potatoes, and a hundred or so households from the whole village came.Just like eating big pot rice in the past, such a bowl will be enough for one person.

In the cold weather, how about a bowl of hot drink to keep you warm?To be lucky enough to be covered with a piece of meat makes me feel refreshed.

After drinking and eating, sleeping became a problem. Qiu Zi's house only had two rooms, one kang, and three or three people were crowded on it. The guests from this house really had no place to live.

Uncle Qiu said: "Come to my house! My house has at least three rooms, we are crowded together, and the other kang is given over to the distinguished guests."

At this time, Qiu Zi didn't care about it anymore. The family's conditions were obvious, and he immediately responded: "Then I will trouble Uncle Qiu."

He Junyao and Li Qingjie also said: "Thank you for causing you trouble."

"Don't bother, I can't even clear it up, don't bother, I'm just afraid that you will dislike it." Uncle Qiu's face bloomed with a smile, and his eyes became smaller.

"Qiu Lian, come here." Li Qingjie beckoned, watching the little girl approach, and took out two porcelain bottles from his backpack, "The red one is good for pain relief, and the white one is best for bed sores. We will give it to your father after we leave." Put it on, remember." These two bottles of medicine were given by the little doctor Fang when he left Yun County.

"Hey! Remember it." Qiu Lian said while holding the medicine bottle tightly.

"Come with me!" Second Uncle Qiu led the way, and his eldest son, Da Gua, followed beside him holding a torch.

The whole village was holding torches, so He Junyao could clearly see what the village looked like.It is no exaggeration to say that there are all kinds of houses.Some houses are built of stones, which look very heavy.Some houses are built with adobe bricks, which are very dilapidated.There are also some wooden houses, which look quite simple.But no matter what kind of house, there is one thing in common, that is, there is only one floor, and there are no more than two floors.It stretches from the hillside to the valley.

One word is poor!As soon as you enter the county, you can tell that the county town is so dilapidated, let alone this village.At the bottom of the hillside, it is built on a slightly flat slope, with bluestone walls, and the roof is covered with dried thatch, covered with a layer of mud. There are three houses in total.Uncle Qiu lived in one room, and Da Gua and his younger siblings lived in one room that also served as a kitchen. The living room was his office and temporary reception room. Of course, if the weather wasn’t particularly cold, cooking would be done outdoors. Stove, firewood.One corner of the house was neatly stacked with firewood.In winter, it is indoors, with some charcoal and some charcoal, which can be used for cooking and heating. [

He Junyao and the others walked in with their heads down. The living room's furnishings were very typical.The walls are pasted with newspapers, and the red lacquered sitting cabinets are the earliest furniture. They were necessary when getting married in the 70s, and they were used to store clothes and sundries.The sitting clock is very old, and farmers mainly rely on it to keep track of the time. There is also the word "happy" on it, which proves the gift of the newlyweds.The picture frames hanging on the wall seem to be photos of the older generation and family life photos, which have obviously turned yellow, but they have great commemorative significance.

The Qinghua porcelain vase is time-honored, and there are feather dusters inside, which are specially used in rural areas.Put cabbage under the cabinet, which is the main vegetable in winter, and the ground is paved with green bricks.

"The little ones' rooms aren't very clean, so we'll have to deal with it for one night." Second Uncle Qiu was a little embarrassed, "I'll ask the mother to clean it up first, and we'll be fine just sitting here for a while."

After a while, He Junyao and the others walked in. This is the place where they will sleep tonight. It is similar to Qiu Zi's house. It is two meters wide and long, and there are only two more cabinets on the top of the kang.The sheets were washed and turned white, and the smell of soap locust could still be smelled, and the quilt covered was also washed white and frayed.Let him see that it is not far from mending the patch. For a child who loves to kick the quilt, there will be a big hole when he pushes it. The whole thing is clean and there is no peculiar smell.

"Time is short! I've been neglected." Uncle Qiu looked at the tidied room, and while no one else was paying attention, he gave his daughter-in-law a hard look with his eyes as big as fish eyes.

"Hmph!" Second Aunt Qiu looked away.

"Okay, it's good." He Junyao said lightly: "During the war, I slept in the mud, let alone the bed and the quilt."

"Then don't bother me, let's rest quickly! You have to go to the mountain road tomorrow morning!" Uncle Qiu waved the whole family and walked out, then closed the door, and shouted: "Dagua, take your siblings to our Sleep on the kang first, I'll go see how third uncle is doing."

Then he dragged Second Aunt Qiu out of the door in a hurry, far away from the house, Second Uncle Qiu said, "You prodigal bitch, I told you to clean up the bed, and that's what you did. Ah! You got a new quilt , New sheets, what are you doing with them. Ah!"

Second Aunt Qiu glanced at her mouth and said: "Are you so flattering? You didn't even ask about the family's background, what a fart you are. My new quilt and bed sheets are reserved for my son to marry a wife." (Unfinished to be continued)
