Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 6 Best Buddies
The imperial doctor Zhao that grandma mentioned was the father of his mother's best friend Zhao Baihe and Mrs. Zhao, a well-known doctor in the county, Zhao Shanwen.

Zhao Baihe's husband, Zhang Qingping, is also his father's neighbor, a classmate, and an educated youth from his hometown.

Both Zhang and Zhou's ancestors lived in a place called Zaoling Bridge on the outskirts of the county seat, and they were neighbors across a wooden wall. It was a friendship of three generations.

When Zhang Qingping was a doctor in a cement factory, he and his mother were colleagues. My mother thought that my father's buddy was not bad, so she introduced her best friend to him.

With such a deep friendship, when my mother begged the old doctor, the old doctor Zhao was very dedicated.

In the end, grandma was able to take care of herself from being paralyzed in bed to walking, which was a medical miracle at that time.

Grandma sat back on the chair, still unable to take her eyes off Zhou Zhi: "My grandson has lost weight."

"That's how thin you are." My mother said in a bad mood, "I'm breathing now. The doctor said that you can start eating liquid food. Don't worry, in a few days, I will definitely return to your elderly parents."

"Is that Director Xinhua good? How come after three or four days, my grandson can't walk anymore?" Grandma was still worried, and emphasized for the second time: "I still have to see Doctor Zhao."

Zhou Zhi had just wiped away her tears, but now she couldn't help laughing.

In grandma's heart, Old Doctor Zhao is the half-god body of life and death.Uncle Xinhua has to hear this, but he still doesn't know how depressed he will be.

But laughing hurts the wound, so Zhou Zhi had no choice but to hold down the right side of his lower abdomen with one hand, and hurriedly interrupted: "Did you finish the kimchi at home again?"

The balcony clipped out is an old and long passage, and the old brick wall of the Industrial and Commercial Bank next door is next to the balcony.

Grandma was honest and rude, and made some small holes in the gaps between the cement bricks of the house, nailed wooden nails, and pulled ropes.

Now there are a lot of half-wilted gingers hanging on those ropes.

Jiachuan is very hot, and it is sad in summer. Generally, each household eats rice or noodles in the morning, and dry rice at noon. The main meat is garlic and white meat, and most of them eat porridge in the evening.

The porridge is cooked together with dry rice at noon, and when it is already cold at dinner time, eat cold porridge, eat some cold spinach, pickled vegetables, and cut some braised pork if you want to eat meat. This is the main way of life of Jiachuan people in this period.

A lot of pickles were consumed in one summer, but my mother didn't learn how to make pickles from my grandma, but my father and Zhou Zhi learned everything.

Later, my father was too busy, so these became the affairs of Zhou Zhi and grandma.

Putting cabbage, clappers and cucumbers directly into the kimchi jar will cause flowers, so scoop out the salt water and soak them separately.

Grandma is very particular about this aspect, so every year, pickle salt water must be prepared in advance, mainly by adding pepper and ginger to the old salt water, and then filling it.

There are also cowpea, sword bean, and radish that are resistant to foaming. You can also soak them first, take them out and fry them with water spinach, stew with sour radish and duck, or mix them with fried chili and eat them directly. They are all delicious.

It is said that Douban is the soul of Sichuan cuisine. In fact, Zhou Zhi thinks that soaking ginger and pepper is the only way to do it.

"Tingting helped take it back, so it's time to put it down," said grandma.

Guan Tingting is the daughter of Guan Dabin, secretary of the sugar and wine company, and her mother is Tsing Yi from the Sichuan Opera Troupe. The little girl has been delicate since she was a child, and she is three grades younger than Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi still remembers being pulled by Guan Tingting, the third grader, to threaten and bully her male classmates when she was in the sixth grade.

This girl also helped with this matter?
"Well, thank her another day."

Zhou Zhi dragged a stool, and sat down slowly in the sun against the wall: "Grandma is in good health, isn't she?"

My mother brought the water bottle and basin to the bottom of the cement cabinet in the kitchen, and when she heard Zhou Zhi's words, she felt awkward asking, "What are you talking about, it's like I haven't seen you in half a year."

Not only half a year, but many years.

Zhou Zhi complained secretly in his heart, but he felt very satisfied.

Holding up the wrinkled hand of grandma: "Third sister has returned to her hometown, grandma, I will accompany you well this winter vacation. You can teach me what you want to eat, and I will make it for you."

My mother was a little scared: "You can't do it like the last time you made Shaobai. Your appendicitis this time may have something to do with that eating Shaobai."

Shaobai is a classic in Sichuan cuisine. It is similar to pickled meat with pickled vegetables, but it uses sprouts from Yizhou.

Grandma's teeth are not good, she has dentures in her mouth, and she likes soft food.

At that time, the family cut two catties of meat, and Zhou Zhi, under the command of his grandmother, steamed a large pot of roasted meat in one go.

After it was done, both parents had dinner parties, so he, the third sister, grandma, grandparents and grandchildren all ate up two catties of pork in one sitting.

When my mother came back and saw the two slices of meat and sprouts left in the basin, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Is the whole meal finished?"

In fact, Zhou Zhi only took second place in that meal, third sister was third, and grandma was first.

Zhou Zhi couldn't help feeling depressed: "That was all a month ago, even if there are sequelae, it won't last so long."

"Besides, grandma ate more than me that time, no..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his mother with a shudder.

That afternoon, Zhou Zhi's classmates and buddies came to find him.

My mother went to work, and the family was injured and disabled, and they all had limited mobility. In the end, Zhou Zhi simply opened the balcony door and the main door, so that people who came could directly enter the living room.

There are boys and there are girls.

The county seat is so big, and most of them are classmates of the same age since elementary school.

During the holidays, everyone played in the street, often wandering around, the small group turned into a large group, and Zhou Zhi's operation was considered a news among classmates. Everyone came to see it, and most of them found it novel and interesting.

Zhou Zhi dealt with several dials in one afternoon.

Boys and girls will also have an ambiguous affection for each other when they reach junior high school. Zhou Zhi's best friends in the city add up to two hazy couples and three "single dogs".

But the remaining two have their own "peripherals", and Zhou Zhi is purebred.

There is also a nice Jiachuan dialect - "Tuo Ba Er".

The word comes from lychee, a single piece that falls from a bunch of lychees, called "tuo shan'er".

The classmates who made good friends in junior high school are usually a group of people who used to be at the same table, and then they basically followed the same way to and from school, and they could meet and go home.

Zhou Zhi's buddies are the ones who study better in a class in junior high school. In high school, they are divided into different classes, but they will walk together when they meet at school, wait for each other after school, and go home together.

During the holidays, we often get together, mainly at Zhou Zhi's house, there are many delicious things, and we don't have to worry about the attitude of our parents;

There is also Fang Wenyu's house. Fang Wenyu's father is the deputy minister of the armed forces. There are sight alignment mirrors, bayonets, military binoculars, anti-aircraft machine gun shells, compressed biscuits and military books for the militia in the house.

There is also a training ground in the yard of the Armed Forces Department, as well as equipment such as barbells, stone locks, and parallel bars.

There are more fun things.

Fang Wenyu also had the key to an empty warehouse in the Armed Forces, and Fang’s mother was well-educated, and if a girl entered the house, it was like a thief, so everyone more often gathered in the empty warehouse.

Fang Wenyu has sharp eyebrows and stars. She is a school girl in Zhou Zhi's class. She is not only good at studying, but also good at sports. Every morning at 06:30, her father will wake her up to run on the playground to practice equipment.

It's fine if you study well, and you're still handsome; it's fine if you're handsome, but you're still dressed in flesh; it's fine if you're handsome, and you still have his dad's military uniform on!

The first one is okay, but the last one is simply too unreasonable!
With the blessing of the military uniform, the handsome man becomes even more handsome. Many girls in the grade have a good impression of Fang Wenyu.

This child has an inherited military temperament, and has been a squad leader and a member of the school team committee since she was a child.

According to my mother's evaluation, there are many children in military uniforms all over the city, but they are all hooligans.Just Fang Wenyu is a decent guy!
This is actually quite true, because the favorite outfit of the city hooligans these days is to wear a pair of super wide military trousers, the bottom of which reaches to the knees, commonly known as "hanging crotch trousers".

The crotch trousers are tied with an armed belt, and the bottom trousers are neatly rolled up a few times, and the shape of the trousers must be harvested, so that the high-top white sneakers must be exposed.

Fang Wenyu also wears crotch trousers, but the trousers don't play tricks like hooligans. His upper body is the "cadre uniform" that his father can get every year, and his father's leather shoes or high-top leather boots are on his feet. Adding steel plates is a rare commodity these days, and the temperament of a military family is properly grasped.

Now there are only two pairs of seven, Fang Wenyu stood on the edge of the cloth sofa at home like a tree facing the wind, and said condescendingly to Zhou Zhi: "It's nothing serious, it's just appendicitis, just rest for half a month."

Zhou Zhi felt that this handsome Nima was a bit like a leading cadre consoling the injured people.

Before Zhou Zhi could speak, Fang Wenyu said again: "After the final exam, we had a party. It's a pity that you're not here. I wrote the chalk characters. It's so ugly."

"Yongmei! Bring the paper for the final exam to Elbow, this is what Teacher Hu specially instructed."

"Go away, go away." Zhou Zhi waved his hands impatiently: "Marshal Fang! If you're in such a hurry to pretend to be a big carrot, then the panda is back?"

The other handsome guy who just entered the door smiled and said: "No! This dog day has been pretending all the way."

After laughing, he taunted Zhou Zhi: "It's okay for me to be a striker, but you've been thrown as a defender, so I have to criticize you. You're really embarrassing for our second class!"

It was Yan Xiao who was speaking, because he was the striker and captain of the school football team, he was smart and good at sports, and he was quite popular in school.

However, he is a bit slippery, and his grades in junior high school are not bad, but in high school they have fallen sharply.

The first time Zhou Zhi met Yan Xiao, he called him "a friend of Three Points of Water". Yan Xiao couldn't understand it at the time, so Zhou Zhi showed him "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji".

Only then did Yan Xiao know that there was a Haisha sect in "Yi Tian Shou Long Ji", all of whom were salt lords, and were called "friends of three o'clock water" by the second son of the Wudang sect.

Since then, Yan Xiao has become a fan of martial arts, and sometimes Zhou Zhi even feels that maybe his own martial arts novel enlightenment has delayed this child.

Seeing the fruits on the table, Yan Xiao grabbed one and threw it to Fang Wenyu, grabbed another one himself, and let out the two girls who had just entered the door with a smile: "I'll settle the score with you when you're better, come on, let the original partner comfort you first." a bit."
