Just when I was at a loss what to do, a few ordinary village women walked into the yard carelessly, carrying some vegetables and fruits in their hands and some meat on their backs. My eyes lit up and I suddenly had an idea.
This is a habit in rural areas, helping in the kitchen.
Qian Dagui's cow died mysteriously. He had to trouble the village cadres, hire a veterinarian, and always prepare a table of food for entertaining. In this case, Qian Dagui's daughter-in-law must have no intention of cooking, so she called Xiangchang It was perfectly normal for the women above to come to help.
I looked at the village cadre and said, "I have to go to class in the afternoon, but my home is in XX Village. How far is it to go back to eat at this time?"
"You didn't bring a lunch box?" The village cadre was a little angry and funny.
"I'm just going to have a meal here, okay? Uncle?" I tried my best to look greedy, which is understandable. What delicious food can be found in the lunch box? Regardless of the taste of this kind of table, there is always a lot of meat.
Such a request must be made by someone with a certain degree of shamelessness. I felt uneasy and kept saying, "Fortunately, I am a child, well, I am a child."
The village cadre had no choice but to look at Qian Dagui.
Dagui, who is stingy with money, actually has a good character. How could he care about a child who wants to eat at the table? He said: "Let him eat before he goes to school. Anyway, it's just a matter of extra pairs of bowls and chopsticks."
I was finally able to stay justifiably, but even my ears were burning. At the same time, I admired my master. It took so much courage to live in the village for many years.
Time passed by, and I looked at the door eagerly. Finally, when it was time to start the banquet, three people walked into the courtyard without a care in the world.
"It smells so good. Rural rice is delicious. Big bowl of meat, big bowl of wine..." Needless to say, this voice belonged to my master. I buried my head and muttered to myself a hundred times, I don't know him. ,I do not know him.
But Su Rou saw me at this time, and ran over with a 'dong dong dong', and he also picked up a stool, squeezed me out of the way, then sat down and said to me: "Sanwa'er, I'm tired." You're running around so hard, your kid is so unkind, so you end up eating it here?"
I feel like my face, which has been around for almost 15 years, will be completely wiped out. Do you have any grudge against me? I have to portray my image of eating and drinking so clearly, but the torture is far from over.
My side tightened, and old man Huijue squeezed in and sat down on my right side: "Okay, okay, scrambled eggs with leeks, delicious, Sanwazi, do you know that you like to eat this?" He said hello to the kitchen .”
I felt like I was about to suffocate, so I whispered to Old Man Hui: "This cooking pot is used for frying meat. Why don't you avoid it? Even if you eat eggs, you also eat leeks? What kind of monk do you think you are?" "
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. If you don't see the killing, don't hear the killing, and don't kill it for yourself, the meat is clean. What's more, the poor monk has a kind heart and won't even touch the three pure meats, Amitabha." Huijue looked compassionate. He looked like one, spoke in a standard Beijing accent, and even sang a Buddhist chant.
Everyone at the table was dumbfounded. He was clearly an old farmer from Shaanxi just now. How could he be transformed into a monk from Beijing
Forget it, with this group of people, you must first learn to be 'shameless' in order to live a stable life. I silently thought to myself that I can't see and I can't hear, so I just ignored everything.
There was another tightening around me, and I knew that my best master had sat down. He didn't talk nonsense. As soon as he got on the table, he threw a piece of pig ear into his mouth. He chewed it loudly and poured himself a glass. The wine was drank with a "chiliu" sound.
"Why are you all standing there? Eat quickly!" He greeted the people at the table enthusiastically, as if he was the master.
"Ahem" Qian Dagui coughed. With such a group of inexplicable people coming, it was strange that he, the master, could not sit still.
"Why are you coughing? Don't you remember me? The person who helped you with your disease and deworming for free! I'm here to help you with your cattle." Old Man Jiang's eyes widened, as if he had been greatly wronged, but he finally managed to He said something to explain.
As soon as he said this, the people at the table realized, weren't these two old men the same ones who handed out insecticides? No wonder they didn't recognize you. You said that as soon as you entered the yard, you crowded onto the table like a gust of wind. Who knows you
Thinking of the origins of these two old men, Qian Dagui felt a little better. At least they did not come to his house to eat and drink. He had also done things for people in the countryside, but when he thought of these two old men, Qian Dagui's heart twitched as he revealed his son's identity.
What is your identity? You specialize in killing insects! Did he just come to help when he mentioned the cow thing? Could it be that our cattle are infected with the insect disease? The insect patient can't escape. If the situation of cattle escalates to that of humans, things will be terrible.
Qian Dagui looked at my master with a pale face. Also with a pale face was his wife. Qian Dagui looked at my master and was about to speak.
My master glanced at him and said, "Let's eat first. If you get infected, there are insecticides available, so don't worry."
These words reassured Qian Dagui and his wife. The anti-worming medicine was indeed effective, but their reassurance was limited. Think about the miserable condition of the cow. How could a person repay it like this
After finishing the meal, Su Rou and I could justifiably refuse to go to school. The reason is very simple. Old Man Jiang’s current identity has been confirmed at the wine table as old Chinese medicine doctors, and the two of us are his. Just a little apprentice.
When the village cadre heard about it, he even said: "I said I wanted to stay here, but it turns out that I don't want to see him for free at this time. I want to have a meal."
When Old Man Jiang heard this, his eyes widened and he said, "Go and ask your township chief to come and tell Jiang Lizhun to find him."
Such a big honor, the village cadre took a breath, and was a little unsure of the situation, but Old Man Jiang said something next, and he had to go; "Why are you standing there? If you want me to do it myself Take a trip and I will demote you when you come back."
This is of course a naked threat, but in some cases threats are more effective. The village cadres went.
When the mayor came and looked at the cows, he returned to the yard with a heavy face. Just after he sat down, the veterinarian also came. When he saw the veterinarian, the mayor rushed over, grabbed the veterinarian, and stood aside. I don’t know what to mutter.
After finishing speaking, the veterinarian went to see the cow, and I quietly asked Old Man Jiang: "Master, what is this township chief doing?"
"Nonsense, of course you ask the veterinarian to conceal the facts. I guarantee that the veterinarian has never seen this kind of thing. What if he yelled and yelled and said something? What impact did you have? What are the consequences? Brat, why didn't you? What's your IQ?" Old Man Jiang rolled his eyes at me.
I'm so angry, I'm less than 15 years old, what kind of IQ do you want me to have
Su Rou also mysteriously ran up to Old Man Jiang and said, "Master Jiang, is that insect here?"
Old Man Jiang glanced at the room with a heavy expression and said, "What do you think? If Qian Dagui didn't make a big fuss about his cattle today, I can tell you responsibly that after tonight, only the rest of their family will be left." It’s a pile of rotten meat, do you believe it?”
Surou was startled, put his schoolbag on his back, and said with an upright expression: "Master Jiang, I am a good student. I have to go to class in the afternoon."
Old Man Jiang sighed and said carelessly: "Go, go, go, you are in the way anyway."
Su Rou put down his schoolbag and said, "I really don't want to leave yet, I'll stay here."
Old Man Jiang glanced at Su Rou mysteriously and said: "In the evening..."
As soon as he said these two words, the veterinarian over there was helped out. It looked like he had just vomited. Qian Dagui hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
I heard the veterinarian say a little weakly: "The situation is that he is infected with a parasite. I don't have special anthelmintics here, so there is nothing I can do."
This rhetoric was obviously taught by the township head, but it was obviously enough to fool Qian Dagui and his wife.
Qian Dagui looked a little worried. He originally held out hope that the disease was caused by the cow itself. Originally, he thought that his cow was harmed and poisoned because it was too miserable. , he did not expect this result.
The mayor put his arm around the veterinarian's shoulders and went out. He didn't know what he was going to preach to the veterinarian again. Old Man Jiang sat in the yard and lit up his precious dry cigarette. I yawned. I really wanted to go to Qian Dagui's house to sleep, but thinking about the bugs, I felt afraid.
Only the crispy meat kept running in front of Old Man Jiang, muttering: "What are you going to do tonight? Mr. Jiang, why don't you tell me?"
Helpless, Old Man Jiang ignored him at all.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, in the yard of Qian Dagui's house.
The township head tried hard to talk to Qian Dagui about the work of persuasion, but Qian Dagui and his wife still looked confused.
"Township chief, you said that if a cow dies, it will die. If people are infected, don't you have anti-parasitic medicine? Why do you want us to stay at the township government for one night?" Qian Dagui's daughter-in-law said.
It is indeed difficult to find a reason for this matter. The township chief was a little at a loss for words. He looked at Old Man Jiang with a helpless expression in his eyes.
At this time, Old Man Jiang stood up slowly, walked over with his hands behind his back, and said to Qian Dagui and his wife: "You should go live in the township government. It is safer that way. After all, the effect of insecticides is limited. One or two are fine, but if you have a stomach full of worms, how can you fight them?"
Qian Dagui and his wife were obviously intimidated. They looked at Old Man Jiang and said, "How can I be so full of worms?"
"It's not there now, I'm sure it will be tonight. It's such a big cow. How many worms do you think it has in its belly? You've parked it in the cattle pen for so long. How many worms do you think will escape into your house? Several people will have to help tonight, cooking a big pot of traditional Chinese medicine to repel insects, and there are a lot of troubles. You two can't help, so you are standing in the middle of the room. What if you get infected?" Jiang As soon as the old man finished speaking, the mayor looked at Old Man Jiang with admiration.
No matter how they are doing, what I am worried about is, what should I do at night? Faced with such a big insect
