Chapter 749 What you earn is not money, but friendship (ask for a monthly ticket)

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

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

   Lu Xiaolong was going to drive them off, but Liu Qingshan saw that this guy was drinking a lot, and it happened that there was no wind or waves outside, so he just walked home.

   This section of road is more than ten miles long. 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, how many days?"

  When Li Tieniu first got married, Liu Qingshan had a private conversation with him and told him to make out once every three days.

  Li Tieniu babbled, and was a little embarrassed to say it, and finally confessed honestly:

   "At first, it was according to what you said, once every three days, but then it was once a day."

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

  Li Tieniu shook his brain vigorously: "No, Master didn't know how to help Xiao Cui to recuperate, old man, I can't stand it now..."

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

   "When you take Xiao Cui'er back to the nursing home tomorrow, you're already married, so don't forget your roots."

  Ai, Li Tieniu readily agreed, he was still thinking about this matter.

  Bai Xue reflected the starlight. Although the moon was half a crescent, it was not dark at all. The two brothers walked and talked, and returned to Jiapigou in less than an hour.

  A few dogs barking came from the entrance of the village, and Li Tieniu yelled, which immediately stopped.

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

  As soon as he reached the avenue opposite his house, the big dog rushed out, wagging its tail vigorously.

  When Liu Qingshan saw that the dog's tail was bald, he knew that it must have been cut off by Xiao Lao Si and the others to make shuttlecocks.

  As soon as the door was pulled, the big dog got in first, and Lin Zhi's voice came out of the room immediately: "You smell fishy, ​​get out quickly."

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

  The temperature outside is low. After entering the house, the dog hair will emit a fishy smell when it is heated.

   Then came the voice of the fourth son: "Big dog, come quickly, it happens that the little six is ​​also going to make a shuttlecock."

   As a result, Liu Qingshan saw the big dog drooping its tail, swishing, and ran past him, probably scared of being cut.

  You can’t be a dog’s tail if you make a shuttlecock.

   "Mom, we're back."

   Liu Qingshan yelled, and saw the door of the inner room was pushed open suddenly, and the fourth and fifth children ran out with a thud.

  The fourth youngest was still complaining: "Brother, why did you come back? We have been home for several days."

  Liu Qingshan and Li Tieniu entered the house, only to see a large family sitting on the kang chatting, and Xiao Cui'er was also there.

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

   In the northeast, if you have been outside for a long time and enter the house suddenly, you must take off your coat first.

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

   "Look at our family's mountain apricot, as a child you know it hurts." The grandma sitting on the kang said with a smile.

   And Xiaocui also went down to the ground to help Li Tieniu take off his coat, and poured two bowls of hot tea for them.

  Watching TV while chatting about homework, wait until eight o'clock in the evening, and go to bed early.

  Liu Qingshan and Li Tieniu haven't come back for the past few days, they are the little four and the three little girls, sleeping with Xiaocui in this room.

  Since this is the case, then Liu Qingshan simply went to the house of the eldest brother-in-law.

  Li Tieniu took his coat and wanted to follow, but was stared back by Liu Qingshan: You have to accompany your wife.

  When I arrived at the eldest brother-in-law’s room, Xiaohuo was already asleep. The eldest sister didn’t come back today, and the days are short in winter, so I can’t go back and forth every day.

  After washing their feet and going to the kang, the two of them lay on the bed and chatted.

   Turning off the lights, the cigarette **** in Gao Wenxue's hand flickered on and off: "Sanfeng, Brother Wang still hasn't won the Nobel Prize."

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

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

  "In an ordinary world, the sales volume has soared, and the word of mouth is also very good. It is very popular with foreign readers. From this point of view, there is indeed hope for next year."

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

Ok!

  Gao Wenxue snuffed out the cigarette **** and secretly made up his mind.

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

  For more than three hundred miles, of course I have to drive, and I even drove a car.

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

   Behind is Li Tieniu driving a truck, with his wife sitting beside him.

  The road conditions were mediocre and there was a lot of snow and ice, so I couldn’t drive fast. It was after two o’clock in the afternoon, and then I arrived at the Nursing Home in Shengsheng Township, where Li Tieniu grew up.

  Arrived outside the gate, Li Tieniu jumped out of the car excitedly and shouted: "I'm back!"

   Soon, some old men and women came out of the house, all of them had bright smiles on their faces, as if they saw their children come back.

  Liu Qingshan also came down to look at the newly built row of brick houses, and nodded with satisfaction: This was built by Li Tieniu with money.

  Little Six ran ahead, and when she got here, she also went home.

   "Oh, Tieniu is back, and Yaya is back too!"

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

   He has to hold him, those old men and women are too old to hold them.

  Little Six is ​​not pretty, but she is happy. She squinted her eyes with a smile, and called one by one: "Uncle Gao, Grandpa Wang, Grandma Li..."

  Everyone was stunned for a while, Dean Gao rubbed her little head: "Haha, Yaya, you can talk now, come on, call Uncle Gao to listen again."

   While talking, he used his unshaven chin to stab Xiao Liuzi in the face.

  Little Liu pushed with two small hands: "Uncle Gao, it's time to shave your beard. I bought you a razor, and it's imported."

  In Heihe, there are quite a few electric shavers, but the ones made by Maozi are relatively rough. After plugging in the electricity, they chug, like small four-wheeled wheels, full of power.

   This kind of razor has entered a truckload and has been taken to the capital. They will be sold together in shopping malls in the future.

  Li Tieniu pulled Xiaocui and grinned:

   "Dean Gao, this is my daughter-in-law; Grandpa Wang, this is my daughter-in-law; Grandma Li, this is my daughter-in-law Xiaocuier..."

  Miss Xiaocui also called people one by one, and the old people were all elated.

  Grandma Li took Xiao Cui'er's hand: "Good girl, she is a good girl, come, this is a greeting gift from grandma."

   While speaking, he began to slide down the silver bracelet from his wrist.

   "Thank you grandma, I have it all." Miss Xiaocui can't ask for things from the old lady.

   Li Tieniu was not polite at all: "Grandma Li gave it to you, you must take it."

  The old lady also pouted her cheeks and nodded vigorously: "That's right, this bracelet is reserved for Tieniu's wife."

  She is a lonely old lady, she has long thought about whether to bring this thing with her life or not.

   "Grandma, thank you for being old." Miss Xiaocui could only put it away, then patted Li Tieniu's arm and pointed towards the truck.

  Li Tieniu heheed twice, and then he took down two large cardboard boxes from the carriage.

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

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

  At this time, a few children ran in from outside. They were all orphans adopted by the nursing home. They had just returned from going to the countryside.

   "Yaya!" The little boys and the little six hugged together.

   "Brother Xueniu!" The little boy with only one lip jumped directly into Li Tieniu's arms.

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

   "Rabbit, the hospital over there in BJ can heal your cut lip. After the Chinese New Year, Brother Tie Niu will take you there for treatment."

   When the little guy heard this, he immediately jumped up with joy. Because of this disability, he was often teased by other children.

   "You really belong to the rabbit, you can jump really high, come on, eat candy quickly." The little fourth came up to him with a smile, and stuffed a handful of toffee into the little guy's pocket.

  She and Shan Xing have also been here once, and they have a deep impression on this place.

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

  Put the hat on the little guy, and Shan Xing helped him tidy up with his little hands: "When the lip is cured, you can no longer be called a rabbit. When the time comes, ask the dean to help you choose a name."

  Well, the little guy nodded his head vigorously, and smiled at Shan Xing, his three-petal mouth was full of happiness.

  On the other side, Xiao Cui handed out the gifts brought to the old people one by one.

   And Liu Qingshan and Li Tieniu are busy installing TV.

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

  The little fourth was teaching everyone how to adjust the TV in the room. With the cheers of the children, there was a sound from the TV, and then there was a figure shaking.

  This channel is a local station, and it is playing Errenzhuan, which makes the old men and women very happy: It will be better in the future, sitting on the big kang, you can watch Errenzhuan.

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

  Good guy, dozens of people are all staring at the TV intently.

  In the TV, a classic singing came out: "It's the New Year in the first month, the first day of the new year..."

   "It's spring until the eighth day, 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 met, she clapped her hands and laughed haha, hey yo yo yo, my son-in-law came to our house..."

  Singing happily on TV, a 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, Tie Niu should lead his wife back to her in-law's house."

   As he spoke, he twisted his waist and sang: "Hey Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo, take the new daughter-in-law home."

  Everyone burst into laughter, and the return of Li Tieniu and Xiaoliuzi brought laughter to this dreary nursing home.

   "Don't look, put the table to eat!"

  The master cook came to urge several times, and then a group of old people strolled over to the restaurant.

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

  Li Tieniu also brought in two pork halves and several sacks of frozen fish, so in the evening there was braised pork, big fish stewed, sauerkraut powder, and steamed bun porridge as the staple food.

   "You boys, don't just eat meat, be careful of stomach upset!" Li Tieniu yelled at the children, he remembered that he was like this when he was a child.

   Just eat meat during the Chinese New Year, it’s cold, and the stomach can’t get down, so it’s sure to have a stomachache.

   But those old people basically tasted two pieces to satisfy their cravings, and dare not eat more. They are old and have weak digestion, let alone eat more.

  However, fish is still acceptable, and the elderly seldom eat fish, and none of them eat less.

  After the meal, Dean Gao’s face was flushed because he drank a few cups of wine with Li Tieniu and Liu Qingshan, and he opened his mouth:

   "Tie Niu, Qingshan, let's go, let's go to our activity room. Every night after dinner, the old people will dance big Yangko in there for a while to digest food."

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

  The space is about four or five rooms, which is quite spacious.

  There are several tables on the side, where old people play poker and watch cards, and there are several cardboard boxes beside them, which contain fans and handkerchiefs, which are all used for performing Yangko.

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

  After an introduction by Dean Gao, he was a little puzzled: "Why is no one here today? Oh, I must have put down my chopsticks and watched TV. Rabbit, rabbit, call all grandparents to the event."

  The children were pulling and pulling, which is considered to have called the old people. Yang songs were played from the tape recorder, and the old people took fans and handkerchiefs and twisted in the open space.

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

  Liu Qingshan and the others watched with a smile on the side, and the youngest and fourth led the fifth and sixth, also went up and followed.

  Looking at it, Liu Qingshan muttered: "It seems that square dancing is also good."

  In this era, the army of square dancing has not yet appeared, and most of them are dancing Yangko or doing Tai Chi.

  Liu Qingshan pondered, should the singers under the big tree lead a trend of square dancing?

  When it was time to go to bed at night, many old men and women came over and gave Xiaocui money, most of which were five or ten yuan.

   Xiaocui kept waving her hands, and then took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills from her pocket. She and Li Tieniu discussed it: people in the nursing home, no matter how old or young, get one bill.

   Unexpectedly, the old people gave her money first.

   "Tweety, keep it. This is the pocket money for the new daughter-in-law, and you must keep it." Grandma Li explained.

  Then you can only keep it, and then each old man will return a banknote.

  Looking at Xiao Liuzi clapping his hands beside him, he said happily: "Okay, grandpa and grandma, you still made money!"

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