Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 46 Mr. Yan went it alone

The next day, Sunday.

Ma Xiuzhen woke up in the morning and wore a newly bought gray turtleneck sweater with dark blue trousers. She wore a white coat overalls outside the sweater, which just exposed the gray turtleneck from the collar. Adding a pair of white socks and a pair of black leather shoes, the whole thing was complete. People appear to have temperament.

After she carefully combed her hair with a comb and put on her shabby blue cotton-padded jacket over her work clothes, she went to the kindergarten... to clean.

The two sisters were reading in the living room, and the two little girls were still sleeping. Grandma went to the hospital before dawn this morning. In order to enjoy breakfast with the hospital escorts, she deducted Lao Zhang's food supply!

Of course, the main reason is that she is worried that Zhang Bing can't think about it, and she also wants to persuade him.

Because yesterday, the whole family was taking care of Zhang Heping's mood and were dissatisfied with Zhang Bing's stubborn behavior of giving money in the blink of an eye.

In other words, you are like that and you still can’t see the situation clearly!
  Huang Xuemin, who was immersed in the painful drama of the ward, rode over in the morning, took Zhang Heping to return some coarse and fine grain to the four old comrades, and then went to the hospital.

However, Zhang Heping did not experiment with Huang Xuemin today, but directly injected the needle into Uncle Zhuang. The main reason was that his hemiplegia was aggravated and he needed relief.

After the acupuncture, Zhang Heping read the "Huangdi Neijing" for a while. After Grandma Yang confirmed that Uncle Zhuang's symptoms had indeed been relieved a lot, she gave Zhang Heping two cans of malted milk and let him go.

"Sanwazi, would you like to press your father's hand too?"

"Let him find Widow Tian!" Zhang Heping still ignored Zhang Bing and walked away.

He even doubted whether the other party had a mental problem. How could he cheat his own wife and children to lick someone else's.

"Look, how angry have you made Sanwazi because of a few outsiders?" Grandma Xie Ermei sat beside the hospital bed and began to scold Zhang Bing on the bed again.

"This month, Xiuzhen and the others have taken turns taking care of you day and night. They are looking forward to you waking up every day. But when you wake up, this is how you harm them?"

"Do you know that your wife, son, your two daughters and me drank syrup on New Year's Eve?"

Grandma Yang felt uncomfortable and interjected: "Second sister, the more you talk about him, the more ungrateful he becomes. Just leave him here and let the full-time nurse feed him and let him reflect!"

……

In the afternoon, the uncle came with his 19-year-old eldest son empty-handed. As soon as he came, he wanted Ma Xiuzhen to find a job for his son in the city, emmm...

Zhang Heping responded with silence and began to pay attention to the behavior of his two sisters.

At dinner time, the second sister Zhang Pandi went to the cafeteria and came back with twice the usual amount of food. She also bought a lot of steamed buns and flattened them for dry food.

The eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi went to the right wing to get the small piece of bacon, sliced ​​it and fried it into the vegetable cabbage brought back from the canteen, and added fire to the earthen kang in the left wing next to it.

When the beaming grandma came back with her eldest son and grandson, her mother, Ma Xiuzhen, had already followed Zhang Heping's suggestion and divided two bags of stick noodles in advance for them to choose one.

After they finished choosing, Ma Xiuzhen locked the remaining bag of noodles into the right room, and Zhang Heping also took out his accounting notebook.

"Brothers will settle the accounts tomorrow!" Zhang Heping saw that his uncle and the others were hesitant, his grandmother looked displeased, and his two sisters pretended to be busy, so he opened the first page of his book and said lightly:

"This is my family's current debt, which is more than 100 kilograms of stick noodles. If uncle is not in a hurry to borrow it, we will use it to pay off the debt."

The uncle and his son looked at grandma Xie Ermei and saw her nodding in confirmation, so they reluctantly asked the cousin to write down his name, Zhang Cuishan!
  The uncle and his son spent the night on the earthen bed without bedding in the left wing room. The next day, grandma took the two little girls to deliver it. Ma Xiuzhen and the others went to school and had no time to come over.

"Mom, I want to send the fourth child here, do you think so?"

Hearing what her eldest son Zhang Cheng said, Xie Ermei immediately remembered the conversation between Zhang Heping and Zhang Zhaodi on the kang last night.

Little did she know that Zhang Heping deliberately asked his eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi to ask.

"Brother, can you let the third sister and fourth son of my uncle's family come to our house?"

"Okay! Let our parents divorce when the time comes, and the food and salary will be given to grandma. You can do whatever you want."

Grandma Xie Ermei thought of this and sighed: "The third family is already like this, so don't make trouble, hey..."    Then, Xie Ermei took out the 3 yuan given by her grandson Zhang Heping this morning and handed it to the father and son who looked complicated.

……

When he came back at noon, Zhang Heping and the friendly old man were sitting at the door of Yan's house, holding two skinned rabbits and two bunches of dried red peppers in his hands.

"Heping, he said he is your grandfather." The third aunt smiled at Zhang Heping: "You don't know him, right?"

After being reminded like this, Zhang Heping looked up his memory and looked at his appearance, and took his grandfather home with a smile.

Zhang Heping was in charge of the simple canteen food at noon. He slurped up the 4 taels of sesame oil he had just received this month and made a spicy boiled rabbit.

In view of the ginger, garlic, and potatoes that Yan Jiefang came to pay tribute to, Zhang Heping was not stingy when he started the pot. The big basin he brought to Yan Jiefang was filled with potatoes. Under Yan Jiefang's shameless plea to call him brother, Zhang Heping just gave a spoonful of diced rabbit on top of the potatoes, which looked like a lot.

However, over the next four weekends, Yan Laoji's behavior made Zhang Heping frown.

The old boy rode a bicycle with two sacks hanging on the back, taking Yan Jiecheng out early and back late.

Although they did not bring any fish back, the bait in the two jars in the vegetable cellar was rapidly decreasing.

After interrogating Yan Jiefang, it was confirmed that Yan Laozha left Zhang Heping and went on his own!
  Some people may wonder, why doesn’t Zhang Heping go it alone?

At first, it was because he had little strength and no tools. The fish that he could sell once with Yan Bugui would have to be sold more than ten times by himself, which was a waste of time and unsafe.

Now...he's not that interested in fishing.

First, fish without seasoning is not delicious.

Second, he has other ideas for making money!
  This month, Zhang Heping ate a lot in order to supplement his consumption of running, push-ups, squats, climbing and other exercise skills!

The canteen meal tickets that could originally support his family for half a year can only barely support him until the end of April.

However, his gains were also great. Zhang Heping was a head taller than the emaciated Bangge!

For this reason, Huang Xuemin took Zhang Heping to his house for a meal, and asked his wife to find Zhang Heping some sets of their son's old clothes, including white shirts and green military uniforms, the favorite clothes of children in these days.

Later, when Huang Xuemin was promoted, Zhang Heping went to the Huang family again, and was taken to the military compound on the next street by the Huang family's 17-year-old second eldest son and 15-year-old third eldest son.

Then I followed a group of big boys into the mountains and watched them walk their dogs and hunt birds.

It was this hunting trip that gave him a new way to make money!

Zhang Heping followed them, helped carry a rabbit, and then... Hunting: Xiao Cheng (22%).
  This was the first time in his previous life that he went hunting with someone. Although he was just a hunter, he was not even allowed to touch the shotgun.

However, just once, he had an irrepressible thought in his mind: hunting and collecting herbs!
  Hunting is to replenish one's own nutrition, maintain idle exercise, and also to make money by selling prey.

The purpose of collecting herbs is to sell them for money. This stuff is quite valuable, and drug stores sell it by the gram.

Last time I heard my grandpa say that the two rabbits he brought were caught by my uncle in a trap in the mountains.

Their village sent people into the mountains to hunt a few years ago; unfortunately, the prey was not caught, and several people were injured, so they did not have a good year.

Zhang Heping lacked hunting equipment. Those big boys in the courtyard regarded several broken guns as their wives and would not let Zhang Heping touch them, let alone borrow them.

As for his grandfather, there happened to be a hunter who was injured and was not fully recovered. In addition, Zhang Heping’s traditional Chinese medicine skills had reached an advanced level (2%), so he was wondering if he could go to his grandfather’s place and cure the injured hunter. , get some hunting equipment back.

"Zhang Bing! I heard that you can speak! You must give me an explanation for your son not giving me money last month!"
