He found four gifts for the old man in the space. Although the old man wouldn't blame him, he would feel bad if he didn't bring back some gifts. The gifts were very simple. Four pairs of super thick and super warm house slippers for two men and two women. The design was bamboo, chrysanthemum, and plum orchid.
Chen Weizheng set off alone to return to Chen Village in Longshan.
There was a roast duck rice noodle shop on the other side of Longjiang Bridge. He had eaten there when he was in high school. Eating a bowl of roast duck rice noodle was already a luxury and left a deep impression on him. Six years had passed in the blink of an eye. He wanted to see if he could eat the same food again. However, he was disappointed. He suspected that it wasn't the rice noodle that tasted bad, but his taste buds had changed. When he heard the discussion of the diners next to him, he felt that it was more reasonable. The diners thought that the ingredients now were generally not as authentic as before. The meat was quick-cooked duck meat. The duck meat was already five kilograms in weight even before the feathers were removed. It was directly marketed as a commodity. The taste of the duck hadn't been developed yet, so how could it taste good?
The pigs now were the same. In the past, they raised one pig a year. Now, the pig farms were so high-tech that they could raise three pigs a year. How could the taste be the same? There was also the American roast chicken … Chen Weizheng went to the farmer's market and bought twenty native duck seedlings. He planned to bring them home and make a small duck rack in the fish pond. It would be good to eat some ecological ducks. The duck seedling seller tricked Chen Weizheng into buying a bag of duck feed and said that without it, the ducklings wouldn't grow up. Chen Weizheng didn't understand. How did the ducklings grow up in the past when there was no duck feed?
He went to the grocery store and bought a hundred and one meter high nylon net. He planned to wrap it around the iron fence of the fish pond to prevent the ducklings from running around the yard. Otherwise, duck poop would be everywhere. There was still a template left over from the construction of the house on the roof. A few boards were placed at the corner of the fish pond where the ducks rested. A colored steel plate on top of the iron fence was enough to shelter the ducks from the wind and rain.
He had to remind the grannies at home to not feed the ducks too well. They had to pay attention to the ducks from time to time to lose weight.
When they got home, Grandma Liu saw a carton of ducklings and said happily, "If we raise some ducks now, we'll have ducks to eat during the New Year!"
The ducklings could not enter the water immediately after returning home. Grandma Liu was experienced. She used a nylon net to enclose an area of three to four square meters between the fish pond and the vegetable field. This was the ducklings' habitat.
There were two new things added to the corridor. They were two birdcages surrounded by black cloth. After asking Grandma Liu, she found out that two days ago, Zhao Changfu asked Wei Gang to send two talking myna for the two old men to relax. The two old men were not very knowledgeable about this, so they had been studying it hard for the past two days.
Ruan Lei and Liu Yi were the first to arrive. As soon as they finished their shift, they came straight over. Before they came, they called Grandma Chen and told her that they would buy breakfast for their grandparents. They just needed to wait and they didn't need to cook anymore. There was the deep-fried dough sticks and soy milk that Grandpa Liu had been craving for for a long time, the roll noodles that Grandma Chen had been thinking about for a few days, the soup dumplings that Grandpa Chen wanted to eat, and Grandma Liu's braised meat noodles. There was a lot of braised meat noodles. The rice noodles, brine, soup, braised meat, and side dishes were all packed separately. When they came back, they just needed to boil water to get the original taste. This was the main dish, and the rest were snacks.
The breakfast that Liu Yi and Ruan Lei bought made the four old men happy. Chen Weizheng's four pairs of thermal slippers made the four old men happy again.
After Liu Yi and Ruan Lei finished their breakfast, they were chased upstairs to catch up on sleep by the four old men. Grandma Chen said, "This night shift is really tiring!"
Grandma Liu had worked in the hospital all her life, so she had a lot of experience with night shifts. She said, "Back then, I chose to be a Chinese medicine doctor because I felt that night shifts were tiring. These two children must change their jobs. Even if they are like Wei Gang's wife, they can do some administrative work. Night shifts are too tiring, and it will be even more tiring when they have children in the future. "
Before ten o 'clock, the first person to enter the courtyard was Chen Weixin's younger brother, Chen Weiyi. He brought a basket of fresh green mushrooms. This kind of mushroom was plentiful in the pine forest in Qingshan Town. The mushroom was rich in protein, amino acids, plant fiber, and other ingredients. When it entered the mouth, it was tender and fragrant, with a strong natural fragrance. Looking at the freshness of this basket of green mushrooms, Chen Weiyi probably went up the mountain early in the morning to pick them.
Chen Weizheng knew that this thing wasn't expensive, but it was rare for someone to pick it, so it was a big favor. He took out two packets of sugar cookies and a Double Happiness cigarette from the space and gave it to Chen Weiyi as a gift. Chen Weiyi declined again and again, and only left when Grandpa Liu said so. Grandpa Liu's status in Chen Village was quite high. Once, the butcher Chen Weizhang's youngest son fell sick in the middle of the night. His limbs were twitching, and Chen Weizhang couldn't do anything. The village hospital also couldn't do anything. The village hospital asked them to come back and find Grandpa Liu. The group of people rushed back to Chen Village in the middle of the night and woke Grandpa Liu up. He took a look and asked Chen Weizhang to bring a set of silver needles. He personally inserted a few needles into a few key acupuncture points. As he did so, he told Chen Weizhang what kind of disease it was, why children were prone to this condition, and what would happen if it wasn't treated well, such as epilepsy, dementia, and so on. Grandpa Liu explained it simply, and Chen Weizhang also benefited a lot. However, Chen Weizhang's family was so scared that they broke out in cold sweat. After that, Grandpa Liu's reputation as a living god of Chinese medicine spread like wildfire. He was quite popular in the village.
Grandma Liu told Chen Weizheng that the best way to eat this thing was to serve soup. It was better to use yellow feather chicken to make soup. Before she finished speaking, Chen Weizheng ran out. In less than 20 minutes, he came back with a yellow feather chicken. He was faster than catching his own chicken. When he came back, Chen Weizin was already there. The braised baby fish made Grandpa Liu shake his head. He probably felt that it was wrong to eat a national protected animal. If he didn't eat it, he wouldn't be convinced. Just as he was thinking about it, Zhao Changfu, his wife, and Chen Weigang arrived. Seeing the green mushrooms, yellow feather chicken, and baby fish on the table, Auntie Wei said, "It's perfect. My Qingshan Town's specialty goes well with these dishes." She opened it and saw two raw sheep heads and a basin of raw sheep blood.
Seeing these two things, Chen Weizheng was happy, "Auntie Wei, this is the most special. I haven't eaten it in a long time!" He looked forward to it. Grandma Chen said, "Little Zheng, how do you eat this?"
"Cut a white sheep head and eat raw sheep blood paste. It's delicious!" Chen Weizheng said with an exaggerated expression.
"Look at you. Eat more later." Grandma laughed and scolded.
Auntie Wei knew the four elders, but Zhao Changfu was more familiar with them. After greeting them, they went to sit in the living room. Chen Weigang introduced Chen Weixin to Zhao Changfu, and the two sides had a friendly talk.
Before they could sit down, Liu Dehou and the others arrived. Huang Shengyuan helped Chen Xiaomei carry a big bag of things. Huang Chenglong carried a top-grade Yi Quan wine. It seemed that the task at noon was not small.
The men went to the living room. Chen Xiaomei was about to take out her Gu Yi City specialty. Seeing the things on the table, he was a little embarrassed and said to Auntie Wei, "Seeing these things, I'm embarrassed to take out the things I prepared."
Grandma Chen laughed, "You've already bought them. It's not like you can go back and change them."
Chen Xiaomei's dishes were mainly finished products. A roast duck, a piece of roasted pork, two rolls, and a big bowl of steamed pork.
Grandma Liu saw this and said, "Not bad, not bad. It's just right. We can make two tables of good dishes!"
Liu Dehou heard it and said, "I recommend Liu Yi for lunch today. I still have the taste of the five-cup roast duck I ate in Qingshan Town. Why aren't Ruan Lei and her here today? "
"They're here!" The one who answered was Grandma Liu, "They came early in the morning. The two of them were working the night shift last night. They came early in the morning to bring us breakfast. There's the deep-fried dough sticks and soy milk that your dad usually forbids, and the soup dumplings that Xiaomei's dad loves. Those two old things were so happy that their fake teeth fell out!"
"Ah! You're not happy? Xiao Yi made you braised pork powder and you drank three big bowls in a row. "Grandpa Liu exposed.
"Where are they?" Liu Dehou asked.
Grandma Chen said, "They came early in the morning. They didn't sleep last night, so I chased them upstairs to catch up on sleep. I'll call them when it's time for lunch. It's noon today. You'd better accept us as the third generation! "
Liu Dehou said to Zhao Changfu, "Think of a way to deal with this. It's a bit troublesome to work the night shift."
Zhao Changfu nodded.
"I have an idea." Chen Xiaomei said, "Xiao Yi is still a student. She's now an intern at the County Women's and Infants Hospital. She can consider changing her internship. Changfu, how about she go to your Party School to be a school doctor?"
Zhao Changfu said, "It can be arranged. She'll go to the Party School's Medical Clinic for an internship first. After graduation, she'll stay there directly. She'll be a professional first. Civil servants still have to go through the procedures."
"I'm not sure about this girl, Ruan Lei." Chen Xiaomei said, "She's very independent and has her own ideas. When she comes down, I'll ask her."
Liu Dehou said to Zhao Changfu, "Xiao Yi is Wei Zheng's fiancee. Ruan Lei is Ou Jie's fiancee. Ou Jie is Wei Zheng's classmate. He's also the General Manager of Tian Che Energy Company. Tomorrow, he'll be the one leading a group of people. "
Zhao Changfu raised his eyebrows. He knew that this Ruan Lei was not a simple person. She was an important person.
Only Chen Weixin had seen Ou Jie before. He was a very arrogant playboy. He was actually taken down by a girl from Qingshan Town. He couldn't help but feel happy.
Chen Weizheng was about to ask Liu Dehou if they should start the discussion when two girls came down from upstairs: "Auntie, Auntie Wei, have you been here for a long time? We just wanted to take a nap. Who knew that we would fall asleep the moment we woke up. "
After greeting, Liu Yi stayed in the dining room. Ruan Lei walked into the living room: "Hello, Uncle! Hello, Uncle Zhao! Wei Zheng, you guys go upstairs to talk. Liu Yi and I will tidy up the small study room. It's enough for you guys to talk. It's quieter upstairs. It'll also save you guys from disturbing us while we're playing mahjong with Grandpa and Grandma. "
"Okay, okay. We'll go up and leave the seats for you guys." Liu Dehou said happily. This Ruan Lei was really sensible.
When they went upstairs, Chen Weizheng's small study room had already been tidied up neatly. The arhat bed was moved into the bedroom. The study room immediately looked spacious. There were four bedrooms upstairs. Each bedroom was equipped with two rattan sofas and a small glass coffee table. Ruan Lei and Liu Yi gathered the eight sofas and four coffee tables in the study room. The four coffee tables were put together and the eight sofas formed a circle. It was just like a small meeting room. Liu Dehou had lived here before. He knew that the two girls had done it temporarily. It must have been Ruan Lei's idea. He nodded his head in appreciation. No wonder Chen Weizheng listed Ruan Lei as the sixth leader of the Shao Guan Sect. It was very reasonable!
"Let Ruan Lei participate in today's meeting." Liu Dehou said decisively. He decided not to give up this talent. It didn't matter whether she would be together with Ou Jie in the future or not. It also didn't matter whether she would go into business or official career in the future.
Chen Weizheng went downstairs to call for her. Liu Dehou said to Zhao Changfu: "You pay more attention to this girl. I want to focus on training her. You should consider where to let her go to train."
"Come to my Party and Government Office to be a clerk?" Chen Weixin interrupted.
"No, the Party and Government Office can't solve the problem of civil servants. We have to think of a solution in the county. " Liu Dehou expressed his rejection. At this time, everyone knew that Liu Dehou's training efforts were not ordinary.
"This time, the county reported that Deputy Mayor Liu Zhixing will be the Deputy Secretary of Qingshan Town's Party Committee. The position of Deputy Mayor will be taken over by Xiling Town's Party Committee Secretary Zhong Qinghong. I think we can recommend Ruan Lei to the future Deputy Mayor Zhong to be his secretary." Chen Weigang suggested. Zhong Qinghong was a person who was trained by Zhao Changfu. She was Zhao Changfu's direct subordinate.
"If the city approves, I think there won't be a problem." Zhao Changfu said.
"The city has no problem. You guys go and prepare. "Liu Dehou said.
Chen Weizheng and Ruan Lei walked in. Chen Weizheng was holding a teapot. Ruan Lei was holding a tea tray. There were eight empty cups and two ashtrays on the tray.
