Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 7 There are bad people among the masses [-]
Gu Weijun followed his father and sent Uncle Huang to the entrance of the alley. Uncle Huang pushed the bicycle and let out a sigh of relief. He took the lunch box from Gu Weijun's hand and said with a smile to Dad Gu: "Guohong, come to your yard and try to beat us." The mountains are so tiring!”

"And why do I feel that your yard has an indescribable... smell?" Uncle Huang smacked his lips, trying to find the right words.

"Feudal remnants!" Dad Gu answered with a smile.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! That's what it feels like!" Uncle Huang laughed when he heard this, "It hits the nail on the head!"

"Tell me, what's your kid's idea?"

"Haha!" Gu's father, Gu Guohong, laughed when he heard this and gave a thumbs up, "Political commissar, you can see thousands of miles away!"

"You idiot, you think I am Chairman Chiang Kai-shek! Say it quickly!"

"Political commissar," Dad Gu said in a serious voice in a low voice, "I joined the army in 46, was demobilized and returned to my hometown in 52, was called to Beijing by the chief in 54, and moved from the street clinic to the steel rolling mill in 56 and moved to this yard until now. "Dad Gu paused slightly,
"In 59 and 60, all the Soviets withdrew. In the past three years, we have had bad years and we have to pay back the Soviets' money! Our life is not easy!"

"But this year we have finally recovered. Two months ago, when you transferred the political commissar to the steel rolling mill, I guess the country will definitely arrange for the expansion of the steel rolling mill. Without the Soviets, we will not develop?"

"However, the steel rolling mill is, after all, a transformed enterprise from a public-private partnership, and the people's ideological level is still a bit weak, as you can see today."

"Our revolutionary road has a long way to go!" Uncle Huang looked solemn.

Dad Gu's tone became more relaxed, "So, doesn't this allow you to get closer to the masses?"

"Of course, I also have selfish motives. At the end of last year, I felt that the atmosphere in this courtyard was wrong. If you come, maybe you can deter this unhealthy trend!"

"What did the Chairman say? Going deep into the masses, relying on the masses, and mobilizing the masses are the only magic weapons for us Communists to win!"

"Haha, okay! Okay!" Uncle Huang Juikun smiled happily, "Based on your words, I will guarantee the associate degree at the end of this year!"

"Your boy is now a good political worker. Do you want to come over and help me?"

"Political Commissar, you also know that I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. A few years ago, the chief helped me contact a teacher Lu Bingkui. Last year, he also helped me enter the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine to continue my studies." Dad Gu smiled wryly and spread his hands, "You think I can Did you live up to the chief’s expectations?”

"Haha, you're still such a naughty kid! But the medicinal wine you prepared is really overbearing. After drinking it, my legs and feet don't hurt on rainy days! I'll prepare a few more bottles someday and I'll give them away! Okay, that's it for today. I'll be here another day. At my house, call Zhu Guoli and the others and let's have a good drink together!" Uncle Huang turned around and patted Gu Weijun on the shoulder, "The army is good! Let's go!" He stepped on the car and quickly disappeared into the night.

Watching Uncle Huang go away, Dad Gu took out a cigarette and gave it to Gu Weijun. Gu Weijun took it with a smile and lit the match.The two men were strolling home while puffing on smoke. Gu's father said to Gu Weijun: "Don't take this matter to heart in the yard, you still have to take a long-term view!"

"I will stop reading if I don't want to read it after I graduate from junior high school, but I can't stop studying. I have to memorize the properties of medicines, Tangtou Song, and Four Hundred Flavors by heart. I also have to read the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, Treatise on Febrile Diseases, and Synopsis of the Golden Chamber. I also have to read the Compendium of Materia Medica and Pinhu Pulse Study. Turn it over properly.”

"Yeah!" Gu Weijun nodded, and then told his father what happened today.

After hearing this, Dad Gu nodded and chuckled, "Are you still thinking a lot now?"

"Okay, I'll make an appointment with Lao Yang and Lao Zhao in a few days to sit down and have a chat!"

After thinking for a while, he said, "Well, you should also read more about the Three Kingdoms and Mao Xuan!"

Put out the cigarette, "Let's go, don't keep your mother waiting."

On the other side of Zhao Chenggang's house, Zhao Dazhuang and his wife were lying on the kang. Zhao's mother was tossing and turning with sadness and couldn't sleep. "What's wrong?" Zhao's father got up and put on his clothes, "What's wrong with you?"

"Shall I pour you a glass of hot water?"

Zhao's mother told her about Tiezi's plan to transfer his work to Gu's mother in the afternoon, and finally added, "Lao Gu is very kind to our family. If it weren't for Lao Gu, my whole body would be paralyzed. Either that." Just transfer the work to Gu Ma. Anyway, I am too weak to go to work now? What will I do if I am just an iron child?" When she thought of her son, Zhao Ma felt worried and sighed.

Father Zhao pondered for a while and said to Mother Zhao: "You are wrong!"

"I'll arrange for the army to go to the police!"

"Go to sleep!"

Silent all night.

In this day and age, it is impossible not to go to bed early and get up early.The next day, Gu Weijun woke up at dawn and looked at the clock. At 6:10, Gu's mother was already busy next door.The younger brother on the right is sleeping soundly, and on the left is the screen that Gu's father bought from the second-hand market. Gu Weijun got up quietly, put on his clothes, pulled on his cloth shoes, said hello to Gu's mother, and went straight to the toilet. "Well, a good day starts with emptying yourself!"

When I got home, I immediately opened the door with my left hand, and the three-piece northeast courtyard was opened: pig pen, vegetable garden and breakfast.

After opening the door again, she was disgusted by Gu's mother again. She opened the door and pooped twice. Why didn't she poop twice...

Pretending to be ashamed, he lowered his head, picked up his toothbrush, towel and washbasin, covered his face and left.In the pool in the middle courtyard, Auntie and Qin Huairu were laughing and talking about washing clothes. Gu Weijun joked, "Sister-in-law, your family has so much clothes to wash!"

Returning to the house again, Gu Weijun picked up a medical book and sat at the table by the window with Dad Gu to read.

The main theme of breakfast was vegetable dumplings, sweet potato porridge and pickles. Gu Weijun reluctantly ate one. He went back to the house and secretly took out the eggs and luncheon meat from his schoolbag to add to his brother's meal. After that, he put on his military water bottle and went out to meet Xiaoyu and Tiezi. .

It was still a grain station. Gu Weijun agreed with the brothers that they would take their time today and go to the river early in the afternoon to catch a fish and go to Director Wang's house.

Gu Weijun deliberately did not bring a cigarette today. During the break, he finally had the opportunity to test the "golden finger" on his left hand and opened the back door of the grain station.

Looking at the friendly Northeastern courtyard in front of him, Gu Weijun put his hands on his hips again, looked up to the sky and smiled, "I just asked, who else is there!"

“The world is so big, there’s no place you can’t go!”

After touching the rhubarb dog's head wrapped around his feet, Gu Weijun held his waist with one hand and jumped into the depth charge with high spirits!Pointing left and right, "Look, this is my kingdom!"

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Gu Weijun spotted a mineral water bottle on the window sill outside the door!Pick it up, there is still about one-third of the water in it, shake it against the light, the water in the bottle has a faint golden light shining!

For a time, various words filled Gu Weijun's mind: "Reborn!" "Easy tendons and cleansed marrow!" "Instantly become an immortal!"

"Not to mention bath water, even foot washing water, I will definitely drink it!"

Gu Weijun carefully poured the bottle cap, "No one can stop me, I said so!" He raised his neck and did it!He tightened the bottle carefully, clucked his tongue, "It's tasteless!" and then waited carefully.

5 seconds, 10 seconds, 1 minute, Gu Weijun lit a cigarette and fell into deep self-doubt, "Is it the wrong way to open it?"

He took a long puff of the cigarette butt and crushed it under his feet, "Forget it, go back first and talk about it later!"

As soon as Gu Weijun put his left hand on the door handle, he felt his heart beat faster, "Boom boom boom!" His ears seemed to hear the sound of blood flowing faster, "Boom boom boom!" The skin of his body began to heat up. He lowered his head and looked at his left arm. Veins and blood vessels bulge, and the skin gradually turns red!

Gu Weijun made a quick decision, opened the door with his right hand, rushed into the main room and went straight to the kitchen. He quickly made himself a basin of salt and sugar water with cold water in the bucket, and drank it down.I turned on the fire and cooked 10 eggs. I immediately ran to the living room, took out a carton of milk, and rushed to the shower room. I didn't even have time to take off my clothes. I turned on the water switch and drank milk to replenish energy while cooling down with cold water.

After drinking the milk, I trotted to the kitchen again to mix a basin of salt and sugar water, fished the eggs into the basin of salt and sugar water, and boiled the eggs at the same time.Take the basin to the West House storage room, fill it with cucumbers and tomatoes, return to the shower room, and start eating and drinking!
After two more visits, Gu Weijun felt that his heartbeat gradually slowed down, and his blood flow and body temperature gradually returned to normal.Gu Weijun sat down on the ground, breathing heavily. His throat was so dry and itchy that he couldn't bear it. "Cough!" He coughed up a mouthful of thick gray phlegm with blood streaks.He got up with difficulty, walked to the toilet, took off the soaked cloth belt around his waist with difficulty, squatted down with his hands on his hands, held his breath, and let it fall down!

He wiped it clean, stood up, fetched well water and flushed the toilet clean. He not only sighed, "Daluo Jinxian's bathing fruit is really extraordinary!"

Dragging his weak body and sitting on the pony, Gu Weijun slowly recovered and gave up the idea of ​​giving it to his family and friends immediately.

After procrastinating for a few more minutes, Gu Weijun gritted his teeth and stood up, opening the door with his left hand. He was worried that it had been too long and Xiaoyu and Tiezi could not find him to worry about.

Back at the grain station, it turned out that Xiaoyu and Tiezi had already gone out to look for him, and asked Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian to help them find them. Gu Weijun continued to sit and rest.

About 5 minutes later, Xiaoyu ran back first. Seeing Gu Weijun's pale face and wet body, he couldn't help but laugh, "Hey, Junzi, did you fall into the toilet?"

"Get lost! I'm going to save people!" Gu Weijun thought to himself, saving himself is not saving people!

After another 10 minutes, Tie Zi also came back, followed by Uncle Zhao's apprentice Gao Fang.Seeing Gu Weijun's body half-dry and slumped, Tiezi carried Gu Weijun to the hospital without saying a word.Gu Weijun knew his own affairs, so he grabbed Tiezi and said no, and thanked Gao Fang who came to help!Gao Fang waved his hand and said he couldn't help, and he went back as there were still many things to do in the hospital. Tiezi felt the strength of Gu Weijun's hand and did not insist on going to the hospital.

At noon, Gu Weijun finished the two pancakes with a bang. Although he still felt empty in his stomach, he still declined Xiaoyu and Tiezi's noodle pancakes.When working in the afternoon, Gu Weijun obviously felt much more relaxed, his hands and feet were strong, and his heartbeat was strong, and it only cost about 1 per minute.

Looking at the steel rolling mill again, it was almost noon. Yi Zhonghai arrived at the cafeteria early, said hello to Sha Zhu, packed the food, and hid in the corner and ate slowly.Seeing Director Yang's secretary Xiao Sun, he immediately closed the lunch box, walked over and said hello with a smile, "Xiao Sun, can you help Director Yang pack the lunch box?"

"Hey, Master Yi, have you eaten?"

"The factory director just came back from a meeting in the department in the morning. Isn't there going to be a meeting in the factory this afternoon? I'm writing a manuscript. Now, let me help bring lunch back." Xiao Sun packed the rice and closed the lunch box. In response to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai followed Xiao Sun and sighed as he walked, "Our factory has grown from a few hundred people before the founding of the People's Republic of China to more than 2000 people now, thanks to the hard work of Director Yang!"

"Yeah, yeah!" Xiao Sun responded casually, "That's right, I heard other masters say the same thing..."

"Xiao Sun, are you a technical secondary school graduate? A top student!"

"Master Yi, you are joking, I still need to learn more..."

The two walked to the factory office. Xiao Sun knocked on the door. Yi Zhonghai said quickly: "Xiao Sun, help me ask Director Yang, are you busy? I have something to report to the factory director." Xiao Sun nodded and opened the door. enter.
