Chapter 47 Care
It's not time to get off work yet, He Tiantian will continue to stay here for a while.
The meeting is over, and Aunt Liu hasn't come back. According to Aunt Liu's personality, she usually won't come to the animal husbandry team again, and she will go home directly when it's time to get off work. Anyway, the animal husbandry team has a lot of Tiantian and Old Man Qi, so nothing will happen.
Yesterday He Tiantian asked for leave, and Aunt Liu was busy, so He Tiantian should do more today. It's just right that Aunt Liu won't come, she doesn't have to explain the source of the pheasant, and she doesn't have to share it with Aunt Liu.
Professor Gu and Professor Wang sat decadently on the hay in the straw house, deeply affectionate and sad. Every meeting is a trampling on their dignity.
Fortunately, they were not injured this time, which is a blessing.
He Tiantian took a basin and brought two basins of water to the door for them to wash.
However, their sadness did not last long, and their stomachs would not stop being hungry because of sadness, and they would still growl, especially when they smelled the rich smell of chicken soup, they would growl more happily.
Man is iron, food is steel, and a meal is not hungry. This is more profoundly reflected at this moment.
"Okay, don't be sad, compared to the city, these things are much lighter, don't be ungrateful." The white old man's voice was not loud, but extremely firm, and his eyes were sharp.
The two old men around him were younger than the white old man who just spoke, and they were also injured, but they were in better condition than the old man who spoke.
"Yes." The two men couldn't help, and the two old men still defended them everywhere, so that their injuries became worse.
"Don't be polite here." The old man waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "I want to live well, and you have to live well too."
"Yes." The man answered habitually.
"Call me Lao Bai." The old man said, "There are many people, so change the name."
"Yes." The two agreed.
These two people are the white old man's subordinates. They are the white old man's confidants, but they don't treat the white old man like others. Because of this, the people in the investigation team did not find conclusive evidence, only some trivial things. When something happened to Old Man Bai, these two people did not escape either. Fortunately, they came here and could keep each other company.
To outsiders, this was a coincidence.
But in the heart of Old Man Bai, he vaguely guessed that someone from above was helping him.
It was just that at this time, some people were not suitable to come forward. Although it was not certain who it was, there was already a guess.
What he had to do was to live well and see how long those who did evil and made trouble could last.
In the grass house next door, there was a tall and thin old man named Qian Shikun. He was a smoke seller in Zhejiang Province before liberation. He was a black and white man and had several concubines at home. During the War of Liberation, he could not get on the ship to Hong Kong and had to stay in the country.
Those sons and concubines abandoned him in order to get rid of their relationship with him. He was in prison for ten years. He had just been released and had no time to breathe, and he came to this place where no one was shitting.
Qian Shikun was a tough guy before liberation, with a strong character and good health, so even though he was tortured, he was still in good spirits. The reason why he was lying there unwilling to move was to win sympathy.
Another short old man, Sun Sihao, owned the largest foreign company in Nanshi before liberation. He sold the finest silk, tea and porcelain to foreign countries, and also did some antique trading in private, and then sold foreign goods to China. He was considered a businessman.
The last straw house was Professor Gu and Professor Wang.
He Tiantian cut the pickled cabbage pickled by Old Man Qi, stir-fried it with chicken blood, and made soft pancakes. For a while, the pot room was filled with fragrance.
"Tian girl, are you done?" Old Man Qi outside urged. He smelled the fragrance but couldn't eat it. His stomach was really uncomfortable.
"It will be ready soon." He Tiantian smiled, "Go and call some grandparents, wash your hands quickly, and get up to eat something."
"Okay!" Old Man Qi laughed heartily and hurried to call people, "Have you rested? If you have, come out to eat. People are iron and food is steel. If you don't eat, you will be hungry."
"Yunxi, let's go out to eat something." Professor Gu was free and easy, and he quickly adjusted himself and said to his old wife who was bored and not tired.
Professor Wang also knew that this place was better than the city. She didn't have to do anything and could eat. There was no such treatment in other places. Moreover, with her husband by her side, she could endure any hardship. She wiped her tears and said, "I just saw Tian girl busying around. We remember this thought. A little girl can live well in an unfamiliar environment, and we two old men and women who have experienced so many ups and downs can do the same."
"You are right." Professor Gu laughed, "Being content with what you have is also a state of mind."
The couple came out and saw a basin of clear water at the door.
The five people in the other two rooms supported each other and came out of the straw house.
They also saw the clean water at the door, and suddenly felt that their hearts were not completely filled with hatred. They rinsed their mouths and washed their faces, and they were clean and upright again.
So many people came at once, and there were not enough bowls and chopsticks here for Old Man Qi. Fortunately, Secretary Qi sent some old bowls and chopsticks yesterday. Although they were old, He Tiantian had washed them clean.
There was no room in the room, so He Tiantian moved out Old Man Qi's table and worked back and forth with a smile on her face.
"Professor Gu, Professor Wang, and the other grandfathers, please sit down, I'll serve you soup." He Tiantian made arrangements and turned back into the house.
Old Man Qi helped serve the dishes with one hand.
Professor Wang saw that He Tiantian was busy alone, so he came to help. When he saw a big pot of chicken soup, he was stunned and said, "Where did you get this?"
"Professor Wang, I caught it in the mountains. You are weak, so you must replenish your body." He Tiantian said while serving the soup.
Professor Wang was touched. Hey, this child is really kind and has good cooking skills.
The chicken soup was served outside. When others saw it was chicken soup, they were also stunned and dared not eat it.
"Hurry up and eat it. Fortunately, we are at the foot of the mountain. We can often catch pheasants. There are few people here and the villagers don't know." Old Man Qi said, "There is still a lot in the pot. You should drink it quickly. Tian girl, you should drink some too."
"Hey!" He Tiantian filled a small earthenware jar and covered it. She would take it back to Grandma Qi San later.
After hearing this, the old man laughed and said, "This is a kind gesture from Brother Qi and the little girl. We won't be hypocritical! Let's drink it quickly. Only when we are full can we have strength and recover our health, so as not to drag others down."
"That's right." Xiang Rong and Zuo Li echoed.
