Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 263 - He Ping

Brother Zhenkai founded the poetry journal in 1978, and it ceased publication in 1980. Nine issues were published during this period, and it was sought after by a large number of literature lovers.

After the publication ceased, Brother Zhenkai fell into a state of doing nothing.

"Brother Zhenkai is now hanging out in the unit. He has become a transparent person in the unit. No one dares to talk to him easily."

This is the current situation of brother Zhenkai that Li Tuo described to He Ping in his letter, and it sounds miserable.But Li Tuo also said in the letter that brother Zhenkai doesn't need to do any work in the unit, and his salary will be paid as usual.

There is nothing to complain about. If the young people who are blessed with "996" and "007" in future generations know that it is light to spit on you, and a good beating is indispensable. I will let you Versailles, let you Versailles.

But He Ping also knows that today's young people cannot be judged by the eyes of future generations, especially literary workers like Brother Zhenkai and Li Tuo.

Li Tuo's letter meant that he wanted He Ping to take Brother Zhenkai in for a while.

When He Ping thinks about it, he finds it inconceivable that a young and promising young writer with a serious job needs to be taken in by others.

"He was spent there, his salary was paid, and he went to work every day, but there was no work to do. He wanted to leave, but there was no place to accept him. He was very depressed and urgently needed to change to a new environment to change his mood."

This is the real reason for Li Tuo's letter.

Although He Ping didn't know Li Tuo and his wife for a long time when he was in the capital, they got along well.Li Tuo was able to write to him to make this request, which proved that he was a reliable friend in his eyes.

Li Tuo knew that in addition to his writing career, he also cooperated with the team to open a chicken farm, so it was not difficult to find a place for Brother Zhenkai.A rural place like Hantun is suitable for brother Zhenkai who is depressed at this time to relax and cultivate.

As a representative figure of "Misty Poems", anyone who has read books will have heard of Brother Zhenkai's name. It seems that it is a good choice to take in this character who stirred up the situation in the 80s. He Ping's current psychology is similar to Celebrity stamp collection.

He Ping called Li Tuo and agreed to Li Tuo's request. While Li Tuo was happy, he also felt that he had a lot of face. He was such a person. Otherwise, his family would not have become a transit point for writers and literary youths coming to Beijing. stand.

Li Tuo happily told the news to Brother Zhenkai who was suffering in the work unit. The job of magazine editor, which was regarded as a decent job by others, was like a cage for him, and he wished to break free immediately.

But he is not alone, he has a wife.

Brother Zhenkai's wife is Shao Fei, a teacher at the Beijing Academy of Painting.

His wife, Shao Fei, understands brother Zhenkai's situation very well. She tries to make her husband happier every day, but to no avail.

The external environment was too stressful, even she could feel that aura.

Hearing that Li Tuo had found a place for brother Zhenkai to relax, Shao Fei asked about the situation, and brother Zhenkai told his wife what Li Tuo had said.

"It's a writer friend from Northeast China who has written many works. His last work was "Fu Gui", which is now a very influential novel. He is quite well-known in the local area."

As a person in the cultural circle, Shao Fei has of course heard the name of "Fu Gui".Hearing that this was the case, she was relieved.

"Since Brother Li Tuo has made arrangements for you, then you can go."

"But you..." Brother Zhenkai looked at her reluctantly.

"Don't worry about me. I'm such a big person that I can take care of myself. You can come back after a while, or I can go to see you."

Brother Zhenkai put his arms around his wife, "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."

Shao Fei patted her husband on the shoulder, "Don't worry, time will pass soon."

After the husband and wife talked about themselves for a long time, Shao Fei started to pack Brother Zhenkai's luggage.

Brother Zhenkai boarded the truck to Liao Province that night.

Recently, the sows in the pig farm have ushered in a wave of production, and there will be sows that give birth almost every day. He Ping dare not relax and stays in the pig farm most of the time every day.

Although he can't help much, he feels at ease staying here, and so do the workers on the pig farm.

The news that Brother Zhenkai was coming to Hantun was told by his girlfriend Mao Chunhua on a bicycle. Li Tuo called the post office of the commune. Mao Chunhua came over after receiving the news, saying that Brother Zhenkai had boarded the train now. .

Good guy, what has become of this suffocation in the capital.He Ping just called Li Tuo yesterday afternoon, brother Zhenkai has already boarded the train today.

He had to sigh, he really deserves to be a literary youth with his own tossing attributes.

Given the current nature of the green leather train, it would take a day from Beijing to Ping County, so He Ping was not in a hurry to pick him up at the station.

In the morning of the next day, he estimated that it was almost time, and was about to pick up the station, when someone from the team came and told him that the sows in the pig farm had dystocia.

As soon as He Ping heard this, he rushed to the pig farm in a hurry, and asked Han Zhaojun to pick him up at the train station by the way.

"The number of piglets in this sow is relatively small, and too much feed in the later period caused the fetus to be too large." Guo Wenxing frowned and explained to He Ping the reason for the sow's dystocia.

He Ping understood the reason for the dystocia, and he felt a little better.

For a pig farm, every sow and piglet is real money, and if something happens, the loss will be real money.

He Ping looked at Ding Youcai anxiously. At this time, his hand was reaching into the birth canal of the sow, intending to hook the piglet's palate with his hand, and pull the fetus out bit by bit along with the contraction of the uterus.

"Come and help!" Ding Youcai cried out instead of stretching his hands out of the sow's birth canal.

He Ping hurriedly jumped into the pigpen to help, and the two struggled to pull the first piglet out.

"It's finally done." Ding Youcai gasped with sweat on his forehead.

Midwifery for sows is a physical effort. A normal sow has about fifteen litters. When it is difficult to deliver, it needs to be pulled out one by one.

He Ping was tired after helping the baby for a while, not to mention Ding Youcai who had been midwifery.

"Master Ding, you should drink more tonight." During the delivery, He Ping did not forget to joke with Ding Youcai.

"That's necessary." Ding Youcai, a 60-year-old man, was really struggling to do this job, and his lips turned white from the effort.

It took two hours for the sow with dystocia to be considered safe and gave birth to ten piglets.

The sow is safe and the piglet lands.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. He Ping and Ding Youcai's bodies were covered with pig manure, pig urine and blood, which were the products of sows' dystocia.

He Ping chatted and laughed with everyone, and before he had time to clean up, he heard Han Zhaojun's voice: "Brother He Ping, I brought you back."
