Hello, 1983

Liu Qingshan and Li Tieniu walked towards Jiapigou through the night.

At the pharmaceutical factory, after having a pleasant dinner with the team developing paclitaxel, the two went home.

Lu Xiaolong originally wanted to drive them, but Liu Qingshan saw that this guy didn't drink too much, and it happened that there was no wind or waves outside, so he just walked home.

This part of the road is more than ten miles away. When I was in middle school, I walked every day, and I could touch my home with my eyes closed.

Just the two brothers, no outsiders, Liu Qingshan chatted with Li Tieniu about some more private topics:

Tie Niu, sleep with your wife at night, once in a few days?

When Li Tieniu first got married, Liu Qingshan talked to him privately and told him to make out once every three days.

Li Tie Niu babbled, and was a little embarrassed to say it, and finally explained honestly:

In the beginning, as you said, once every three days, but then once a day.

You're disobedient again, aren't you? Liu Qingshan was a little angry.

Li Tie Niu shook his head vigorously: No, it's Master who doesn't know how to help Xiao Cui to recuperate. It's so fierce, I can't stand it now...

Liu Qingshan couldn't hold back, he burst out laughing, and then worried that Li Tieniu would become angry, and quickly changed the subject:

When you take Xiao Cui'er back to the nursing home tomorrow, you have already married a daughter-in-law, so don't forget your roots.

Ai, Li Tie Niu readily agreed, he was still thinking about this matter in his heart.

The white snow reflected the starlight. Although the moon was a half-crescent, it was not dark at all. The brothers chatted while walking, and it didn't take an hour before they returned to Jiapigou.

Several dog barks came from the entrance of the village, Li Tie Niu shouted and immediately stopped.

It is mid-January now, and there are still more than 20 days before the Chinese New Year, so the lantern poles in every household have not yet been erected.

As soon as he walked to the avenue opposite his house, the big dog rushed out and slapped his tail vigorously.

As soon as Liu Qingshan saw that the dog's tail was bald, he knew that it must have been cut out by the little brother and the others to make a shuttlecock.

As soon as the door was pulled, the big dog got in first, and Lin Zhi's voice came from the room immediately: With a fishy smell,

Get out now.

In winter, the domestic dogs are kept in the kennel outside.

The temperature outside is low, and after entering the house, the dog's fur will be heated, and it will emit a fishy smell.

Then came the voice of the little fourth child: The big dog comes here quickly, it just so happens that the little sixth child is going to make a shuttlecock.

As a result, Liu Qingshan saw the big dog with its tail drooping, and with a swish, it ran past him, probably afraid of being cut.

You can't be a dog's tail when you make a shuttlecock.

Mom, we're back.

Liu Qingshan shouted and saw that the door of the inner room was pushed open, and the fourth and the fifth ran out.

Xiao Lao Si still complained: Brother, why did you guys come back? We've been home for several days.

When Liu Qingshan and Li Tieniu entered the house, they saw a large group of people sitting on the kang chatting, and Xiao Cui'er was also there.

Brother, take off your clothes quickly. Shan Xing helped Liu Qingshan unbutton his coat.

On the northeast side, if you have been outside for a long time and come into the house suddenly, you must take off your coat first.

Because the room is hot, the heat will quickly squeeze the cold air on the surface of the clothes into the body, making it easy to get sick.

Look at our Shan Xing, you know it hurts when you are a child. The grandma sitting on the head of the kang said with a smile.

There was also Xiao Cui, who also went to the ground to help Li Tie Niu take off his coat, and poured two bowls of hot tea for the two of them.

While watching TV, chatting about daily life, and going to bed early at eight o'clock in the evening.

Liu Qingshan and Li Tieniu haven't come back these few days, they are all three little girls, they are the three little girls, sleeping with Xiaocui in this house.

In this case, Liu Qingshan simply went to the eldest brother-in-law's house.

Li Tieniu took the coat and wanted to follow, but Liu Qingshan glared back: You have to accompany your daughter-in-law.

When I got to the eldest brother-in-law's house, Xiaohuo had already fallen asleep. The eldest sister didn't come back today. In winter, the days were short, so I couldn't go back and forth every day.

After washing their feet and getting on the kang, the two were lying on the bed and chatting.

After turning off the light, the cigarette butt in Gao Wenxue's hand flashed and dimmed: Sanfeng, Brother Wang still hasn't won the Nobel Prize.

Hearing this news, Liu Qingshan was also a little disappointed, but he comforted Gao Wenxue in turn: Brother-in-law, there is still a chance this year.

The cigarette butt in Gao Wenxue's hand lit up again, and then said, Victor called and said that although he didn't win the award, his popularity spread.

In an ordinary world, sales have soared, and the word of mouth is also very good. It is very popular with foreign readers. It seems that there is indeed hope for next year.

In the darkness, Liu Qingshan said, Brother-in-law, you have to work hard too.

Um!

Gao Wenxue extinguished the cigarette butt and made up his mind secretly.

The next day happened to be Laba. In the morning, I cooked Laba porridge. After eating, Li Tieniu went to the nursing home to have a look.

For more than 300 miles, of course you have to drive, and even drive a car.

Liu Qingshan was driving a jeep with six children sitting in it, as well as two fourth and fifth children who had to follow along to join in the fun.

In the back is Li Tie Niu driving a truck with his daughter-in-law sitting next to him.

The road conditions were average, and there was a lot of ice and snow, so I couldn't drive fast. It was after two o'clock in the afternoon that I came to Shengsheng Township Nursing Home, where Li Tieniu grew up.

Outside the gate, Li Tieniu jumped out of the car excitedly and shouted, I'm back!

Soon, some old men and old ladies came out of the house with bright smiles on their faces, as if they saw the children at home coming back.

Liu Qingshan also came down, looked at the newly built brick house, and nodded with satisfaction: This was built by Li Tieniu with money.

Xiao Liuzi ran at the front, and when she got here, she also went home.

Oh, Tie Niu is back, and Yaya is back too!

Dean Gao laughed and opened his arms, holding Xiao Liuzi in his arms.

He had to hold them. Those old men and ladies were too old to hold them.

Although Xiao Liuzi is not beautiful, she is happy. She squinted her eyes with a smile, and called out one by one, Uncle Gao, Grandpa Wang, Grandma Li...

Listening to everyone was stunned, Dean Gao rubbed her little head: Haha, Yaya, you can talk now, come, call Uncle Gao again to listen.

While talking, he used his unshaven chin to prick Xiao Liuzi's face.

Xiao Liuzi pushed with his two small hands: Uncle Gao, it's time to shave your beard. I bought you a razor, but it's imported.

On the Heihe side, there are many electric shavers for young and old, but the things made by Maozi are relatively rough.

This kind of razor, in a truck, will be pulled to the capital, and will be sold in shopping malls together in the future.

Li Tie Niu pulled Xiao Cui and grinned:

President Gao, this is my daughter-in-law; Grandpa Wang, this is my daughter-in-law; Grandma Li, this is my daughter-in-law, Xiao Cui'er...

Miss Xiaocui also called people one by one, making these old people elated.

Grandma Li took Xiao Cui'er's hand: Good girl, she's a good girl, come here, this is the gift grandma gave you.

As he spoke, he started rolling down the silver bracelet from his wrist.

Thank you grandma, I have it all. How could Miss Xiaocui want something from the old lady.

On the other hand, Li Tie Niu was not polite at all: What Grandma Li gave you, you must take it.

The old lady also nodded her head with a shriveled cheek: Yes, this bracelet is reserved for Tie Niu's daughter-in-law.

She is an orphaned old lady, and she has long thought about it whether she will bring it with her life or not.

Grandma, thank you for being old. Little Cui could only put it away, then patted Li Tieniu's arm and pointed to the truck.

Li Tie Niu hehe twice, and then took down two large cardboard boxes from the carriage.

Liu Qingshan also went up to help, someone came back with a box, Xiao Cui and Xiao Lao Si, who also carried a lot of things, entered the house together.

The cardboard box was placed on the ground, and Dean Gao looked at the drawing outside the box and couldn't help shouting, TV!

At this time, a few little kids came in from outside. They were all orphans adopted by the nursing home. They had just returned from the village.

Yaya! The little kids hugged the little six sons together.

Brother Xueniu! There was only a little boy with a gaping lip, jumping directly into Li Tieniu's arms.

Rabbit, you have grown taller too. Li Tieniu rubbed the little guy's head and said:

Rabbit, the hospital on BJ's side can cure your broken lip. After the new year, Brother Tie Niu will take you to the hospital for treatment.

As soon as the little guy heard it, he jumped up and down with joy. Because of this disability, he was often teased by other children.

You're really a rabbit, you jump really high, come on, eat candy quickly. Little Old Four came up with a smile, and stuffed a handful of toffee into the little guy's pocket.

She and Shan Xing also came here once and were deeply impressed.

Shan Xing also came over and gave the little guy a skating hat. The hat was blue with a white stripe. It was the dream hat of the little boy at this time.

Putting the hat on the little guy, Shan Xing helped him tidy it up with his little hands: When the lips are cured, you can no longer call the rabbit. Then, ask the dean to give you a name.

Well, the little guy nodded his head vigorously, and smiled towards Xing Shan Xing, his three mouths were all happy.

On the other hand, Xiaocui distributed the gifts she brought to the elderly one by one.

And Liu Qingshan and Li Tieniu were busy setting up the TV.

The parts are all complete, mainly because it is more difficult to erect the antenna mast outside.

The fourth child taught everyone how to adjust the TV in the room. Accompanied by the cheers of the little boys, a voice came from the TV, and then a figure shook.

This channel is a local channel, and it's playing the two-player, which makes the old men and the old ladies so happy: it will be fine in the future, sitting on the big kang, you can watch the two-player.

After the image was adjusted to the clearest, Liu Qingshan entered the room.

Dude, dozens of people, all intently staring at the TV.

On the TV, there was a classic singing: The first month is the New Year, and the first day of the new year...

From the spring to the eighth day of the first lunar month, the new daughter-in-law lives at my mother's house, lead my little son-in-law, and take two boxes of fruit.

Mother-in-law, when we meet, clap your hands and laugh, haha, eh yo yo, auntie is coming to our house...

The TV sang cheerfully, and the group of old people in front of the TV also clapped their hands and laughed happily.

Dean Gao also laughed: If you want me to tell you, it should be the iron bull leading the daughter-in-law back to her mother-in-law's house.

As he spoke, he twisted his waist and sang, Hey yo yo yo, bring the new daughter-in-law home.

Everyone burst into laughter, and the return of Li Tieniu and Xiao Liuzi brought laughter and laughter to this gloomy nursing home.

Don't look, put the table to eat!

The master cooks have come to urge several times, and a group of old people strolled to the restaurant.

Now the place is spacious, so there is a special restaurant, with complete tables, chairs and benches.

Li Tie Niu also brought two halves of pork and several sacks of frozen fish, so in the evening there was braised pork, stewed big fish, and fried sauerkraut powder. The staple food was steamed buns and gruel.

You guys, don't just pick meat and eat it, be careful with your stomach! Li Tie Niu shouted at the kids, he remembered that he was like this when he was a child.

If you can eat meat during the Chinese New Year, it will be cold, and your stomach will not be able to fall down, and you will definitely have a stomachache.

On the other hand, those old people basically only tasted two pieces to relieve their cravings, and they dared not eat more.

However, fish is still ok. The old people rarely eat fish, not one by one.

After eating, Dean Gao drank a few cups of wine with Li Tieniu and Liu Qingshan, so his face was flushed, and his mouth was open:

Tie Niu, Qingshan, let's go and have a look at our activity room. After dinner every night, the old people play a big yangko in it for a while to digest food.

The activity room is next to the canteen, all in this newly built house.

There are about four or five rooms, which is quite spacious.

There are several tables on the side, where the old people play poker and watch cards, and there are several cardboard boxes next to them, where there are fans and handkerchiefs, all used for yangko.

And there is also a tape recorder, which of course Li Tieniu bought before.

After Dean Gao introduced it, he was a little puzzled: Why is no one here today? Oh, I must put down my chopsticks and go to watch TV. Rabbits, rabbits, call the grandparents to the activities.

The children were pulling and pulling, and this was considered to have called all the old people. The song was played on the tape recorder. The old people took fans and handkerchiefs and twisted in the open space.

It doesn't matter if the twist is good or not, it's just digesting food anyway.

Liu Qingshan and the others watched with a smile on their side, the little elder was leading the fifth and the sixth, and went up to follow him.

Looking at it, Liu Qingshan muttered: It seems that square dancing is not bad.

In this era, the square dance army has not yet appeared, and most of them are twisting Yangko or playing Taijiquan.

Liu Qingshan wondered, should the singers under the tree lead the trend of square dancing?

When she went to bed at night, many old men and women came over to give Xiao Cui money, mostly five or ten yuan.

She made Xiaocui wave her hands, and then took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills from her pocket. She and Li Tieniu had discussed it: each person in the nursing home, regardless of age, would have one.

Unexpectedly, the old people gave her money first.

Cui'er, take it, this is the money for the new daughter-in-law, and it must be taken. Grandma Li explained.

Then we can only accept it, and then return a banknote to each old man.

Seeing that Xiao Liuzi slapped his hands next to him and said, Okay, grandparents, you guys still made money!

Shan Xing reached out and touched Xiao Liuzi's head: What you earn is not money, but love.
