The last ray of rays of light on the horizon dissipated, and night was approaching. After the medicine shop got off work, the mountain col returned to tranquility.
Zhou Zhilan and Professor Kong were having dinner together. It was getting dark now, and the two women were busy in the kitchen, one lighting the fire and the other cooking.
Since Yin Fan started hunting with He Yan, he would go into the mountains from time to time to get some prey for tooth sacrifice.
He learned a lot from Bai Su and hunted a lot of rabbits, pheasants, etc., and he could use them to make bacon.
So Zhou Zhilan and Jiang Yuquan teamed up with them. Although they didn't eat as much as the white soda to help them wash away the dust, they could still get some meaty taste from time to time.
For example, tonight, Professor Kong was craving for meat, so he cut off a piece of bacon hanging from the beam and steamed it.
The dried bamboo shoots were soaked and spread on the bottom of the bowl, and the cured rabbit meat was spread on top to steam. Zhou Zhilan, who had worked hard all day in the medicine field, was helping to light the fire. She smelled the aroma of the food and her mouth watered with greed.
Professor Kong is hungry too!
Yin Fan said that she was helping Hehua repair the stairs. It was getting dark and no one was around. She finished cooking and wiped her hands on her apron.
"The pharmacy is off work now. Sister, please help carry the food out. I'm going to see why Yin Fan isn't back yet?"
Professor Kong took off his apron to find someone, but Yin Fan entered the kitchen.
"where have you been?"
Professor Kong smiled jokingly: "You said you were helping Hehua repair the stairs because you were afraid that she would fall. This staircase has been repaired for a long time."
Yin Fan naturally knew what Professor Kong was talking about. He Hua often came to see him, and Professor Kong always laughed at the fact that the two of them matched each other. The man was talented and the woman was beautiful, and they looked like a couple.
But he pretended not to understand and shook the pheasant in his hand: "The stairs have been repaired a long time ago. Before it gets dark, I went into the mountain. The trap I dug a few days ago paid off and I hunted a pheasant."
"Okay, you got the pheasant again."
Being interrupted like this by Yin Fan, Professor Kong forgot to laugh at Yin Fan. She happily said to Zhou Zhilan: "I still have tea tree mushrooms that are dried in the sun. I will make some chicken stew tomorrow to make up for it."
Now helping to take care of the medicinal field, Professor Lin and Professor Kong opened a piece of land behind the house. Bai Su helped them ask Li Xiangyang for seeds. They have already planted the vegetables, and the vegetable seedlings that have grown are as high as a finger.
Although there are too few vegetables to grow in autumn, with experts like Jiang Yuquan here, it is not impossible to grow vegetables in winter.
After a while, they no longer have to dig wild vegetables and can eat the vegetables they grow themselves.
Now I live in a red brick house.
Compared with the experiences of those who lived in bullpens in other brigades, thanks to Bai Su, they lived like gods.
When the food was brought to the table, no one was polite. Each person shared a few pieces of bacon for the meal and ate the whole-grain rice.
Yin Fan took a few mouthfuls of rice and raised his head to talk to Zhou Zhilan: "Aunt Zhou, when I was helping Lotus build the stairs today, weren't you and Brother Changqing talking in the medicine field? I saw that Zhou Hongbo. He was helping
Lotus collects medicine on the roof of the medicine shop and keeps looking towards you."
"He also asked He Hua, are you familiar with Brother Changqing?"
Zhou Zhilan is such a smart person, and she is vigilant.
In particular, she also likes the Bai Su family and hopes that Zhou Changqing and Lan Hua will get married soon.
She was also careless!
The Peace Brigade gave her a great sense of security, making her temporarily forget her previous situation.
She didn't want her and Jiang Yuquan to harm her nephew Zhou Changqing.
Knowing what Yin Fan meant, Zhou Zhilan was very grateful that he told her this.
"Yin Fan, Aunt Zhou wants to thank you."
Zhou Zhilan thought for a while: "I will keep a distance from your brother Changqing in the future. It is not good because his uncle and I will hurt him later."
"We only have one man in the Zhou family, and I hope he will marry a wife soon."
Yin Fan heard He Hua say that since Zhou Changqing revised and polished the articles written by her second sister and submitted them to the newspaper to get the royalties, Lu Lanhua wrote two or three articles one after another and submitted them.
The second sister of Hehua is indeed very talented in literature and has good luck. Every time she submits an article, it is used by the newspaper.
Because of this incident, Principal Qi valued Lu Lanhua very much. Even the commune knew that there was a teacher at Jinjin Elementary School who had published an article in the newspaper, which was very impressive.
After Zhou Changqing left school, Liu Fanyang, an educated youth from the next-door brigade, also became a substitute teacher.
But because Liu Fanyang has some problems with his composition, and Lu Lanhua is a native of the country, and has experience of publishing articles in newspapers, there is no doubt that Hehua's second sister has an advantage when it comes to competing for formal teachers.
Zhou Changqing also wanted Lanhua to become an official teacher at Qianjin Elementary School, but was afraid that his status would affect her, so the two lovers were in a good relationship, but they had not yet taken the final step to obtain a marriage certificate.
Yin Fan also accompanied his grandfather to the countryside, so he felt the same way.
Knowing what Zhou Zhilan was thinking, Yin Fan comforted her: "Aunt Zhou, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."
"That is, there must be a road for cars to reach the mountain, and for boats to reach the bridge, it will be straight."
Professor Yin spoke at the side: "Zhilan, look at my body. When I was sent to the Peace Brigade, I didn't know how long I could survive. But then, Yin Fan and I met Dr. Bai, and she helped me treat my illness.
, my old problem is almost gone.”
"Also, people with the same composition as us can only live in cowsheds in other brigades, but we live in red brick houses. We don't have to avoid people, and we can grow our own vegetables through the medicinal fields."
"You see, things are always changing and developing, and the current situation is also changing."
Professor Yin is very optimistic now: "I don't know for sure. The things I worry about now will not be a problem in a while."
Zhou Zhilan and Jiang Yuquan felt that it made sense, just like they thought they had no hope for the rest of their lives when they stayed on a farm in the deep mountains and forests.
As a result, they came to the Peace Brigade and often saw their beloved nephew.
All this is because of Baisu.
Zhou Zhilan thinks these words make sense: "You are always right, I want to help Sister Bai take care of the medicine field."
"That's right!"
Professor Kong gave Zhou Zhilan a piece of bacon and said happily: "Have a meal. Yin Fan has learned hunting from He Yan. We often make tooth sacrifices. You and Xiao Jiang have never eaten bacon. If you eat an extra piece, you can still eat it tomorrow."
Eat pheasant stewed with tea tree mushroom soup..."
Zhou Hongbo's mother came to the medicine shop crying. When the wife and mother-in-law who came to deliver herbs for weighing told the brigade, it quickly spread. The people who were ready to make a move and had the idea of the medicine shop now completely lost their minds.
.
They all know that Bai Su is not easy to mess with, and they are not afraid of them gossiping behind his back.
In the past few years when Zhou Dajiang was the party secretary, he was a strong man and was not very popular. Now he is even more lonely. His mother-in-law has not made any noise. He is finished as the party secretary of the brigade.
In this way, following Aunt Mei's commotion, Zhou Dajiang withdrew from the historical stage of the Peace Brigade.
The members and educated youths who were selected by the Health Bureau to work in the pharmacy cherished this job very much. In a short period of time, they had become a tightrope under the leadership of Bai Su. It was only the second day that Aunt Mei came to the pharmacy to cause trouble.
What's going on? Several people from the Educated Youth Point couldn't come to work on time.
