The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Chapter 236 Chinese Begonia Leaves
Under Huang Yaqin's stubborn persistence, Huang's father finally returned to the city with Secretary Guo and others, and asked her to continue to follow Li Feng to Hongxing Commune to perform the "mission."

After seeing the people from the Transportation Committee leaving, the leader of the bus company hesitated for a moment and chose the truck driver to take the two people directly to Red Star Commune before returning.

The two of them watched General Tie guard the commune, probably because the commune's on-duty staff went to the hospital after receiving a phone call. They originally wanted to ask official personnel for the addresses of those people, but now they can only find someone to ask.

Opposite the Red Star Commune is the big canteen that was used half a year ago. The square at the entrance is already filled with firewood and haystacks. The signboard of the canteen is hanging crookedly, fluttering with the gust of wind.

In the shed on the side, seven or eight stoves were set up. At this time, there were no big pots on them, only black holes remained, as if mocking passers-by.

"Young man, are you looking for someone?"

Sitting on the steps in front of the big cafeteria, an old man smoking a dry pipe, with deep wrinkles on his face, looked at the two people dressed as city dwellers, put the pipe on his shoulders, raised his hand and chatted.

Li Feng and Huang Yaqin looked at each other, both of them were a little confused. Huang Yaqin didn't know what fun place there was here, and Li Feng didn't know.

How did I find Puyi's people here? When I saw someone greeting me, I felt sleepy and just brought pillows.

"Uncle, do you know that some reformers have been assigned to our Red Star Commune!"

Taking out the bag of peonies from his pocket, Li Feng handed one over, came forward, and asked with a smile.

"Reform, the reformed ones will not be sent to our commune. They have already gone to the northwest. Are you looking for the ones who are pardoned?"

The old man seemed to know a lot. He glanced at Li Feng cautiously, put his hands on his chest, and turned his head sideways without taking the cigarette Li Feng handed him.

Seeing that the uncle didn't want to talk to him and looked quite defensive, Li Feng began to wonder, had these people all been greeted and not allowed to have contact with "those people"?

"Uncle, the higher ups need to supervise their transformation. Send me to take a look. This is my ID!"

Taking out the black notebook from his pocket, Li Feng blocked Huang Yaqin's view, stuffed it into the uncle's hand, and murmured in a low voice.

Seeing the black notebook, Li Feng saw a flash of light in the uncle's eyes, carefully pushed the document back into his hand, and put on a smile again.

"Oh, young man, they are in the Jiugong Brigade. They are not far away. They are two miles away. I will go with you!"

After speaking, the uncle stood up, patted the dust on his butt, and walked ahead to lead the way.

"Hey, uncle, I don't dare bother you to lead the way. We know where it is. We can walk there ourselves. You can lead us there without wasting your time!"

"It's okay. The commune is closed today anyway. If something hadn't happened to Qin Wazi, I wouldn't be here."

The uncle took the cigarette pot off his shoulder, got rid of the bags under his eyes, cut off a piece of tobacco the size of a fingernail, put it into the cigarette pot, and sighed while smoking.

"Qin Wazi, what happened? Is it the one who crashed today?"

Huang Yaqin followed, watching the uncle walking and talking, and thought of the motorcycle driver. His surname was also Qin, and he was from Hongxing Commune.

"How do you know?"

The uncle stopped and looked at the two of them in surprise. He had forgotten to light up the cigarette rod.

"The bus we took when we came here in the morning, and then the bus he was riding happened to hit the bus we were on. If he hadn't been sent to the hospital, I don't know what would have happened!"

When Huang Yaqin heard that he had not met anyone on the side of the perpetrator, he explained clearly what happened to him that morning with words and gestures.

"How is he now!"

The uncle asked nervously, looked at Li Feng who was taking him to the hospital, and stepped forward to grab his sleeve.

"At Daxing People's Hospital, my arm was broken. The doctor said I might have to rest for a while."

"You said, you still have a hairless mouth, can't do things well, and can't even drive a car well. What do you think of this kid?"

After getting the exact answer, the uncle stamped his feet angrily, his face turning red from holding back.

Maybe he is related to the driver who caused the accident, otherwise he wouldn't show such concern, Li Feng thought to himself.

"Thank you. Please send him to the hospital. Fortunately, just now..."

The uncle looked a little embarrassed, thinking about Li Feng's indifferent look before he saw his ID. He didn't expect that this young man would save the life of his younger brother's baby.

"It's a casual thing. If you see it, you can't ignore it. Do you know him here?"

"This useless thing is my nephew. How could I not recognize him? It was his father who asked me to teach him how to ride that chariot. You said that if Sun Laosan hadn't come to my house to find me, I wouldn't have known that such a big thing had happened. , waiting here for their return."

Shaking his head and sighing, the uncle continued to lead the way, but his waist was straightened a little. Maybe because he knew that he did not lose his life, but only lost his arm, and he felt a little less guilty.

"Are you talking about Qinjia Village?"

"Hey, young man, you also know?"

"In our courtyard, there is a married woman from Qinjia Village named Qin Huairu. She said that she is from Red Star Commune, so I really know!"

The uncle was even more surprised. He turned his head and looked Li Feng up and down. He saw that he was well dressed. He looked like a city cadre or the like, from a good family. Xiao Huang on the side was also muttering about the family the Qin family girl married into. , doesn’t seem that good.

"The eldest girl from Qin Lao's fourth family got married in the city, but she didn't expect to be in your courtyard?"

"What a coincidence. Girl Qin hasn't come back for many years. Mr. Qin has been thinking about it all day long, how about leaving her there?"

"That's it. My mother-in-law is hard to talk to, and now she's pregnant with her third child. A few days ago, the man was arrested for washing his hair."

The uncle's shoulders were shaking a little. This news was even more shocking than the traffic accident. Traffic accidents had nothing to do with character. Washing your hair would ruin your reputation.

"This, how can you do such a thing? You are young, your wife and children are on the hot bed. Qin Laosi was blind at first, and gave the girl to such a family."

The uncle's hand holding the cigarette rod trembled slightly, and he hammered his chest. Only then did he regain his breath, and his dry lips trembled.

"Hey, she's still in the steel rolling mill now, but she's working as an apprentice. She can't come back. I guess her husband's family won't let her come back. They're so cruel!"

"Qin Laosi is still showing off that the girl who married in the city is going to enjoy the blessings, but this young man has not received any blessings at all!"

Maybe he thought of the ID that Li Feng showed him before. A person with this status would not spread rumors and cause trouble. Fourth uncle Qin worked in the steel rolling mill, and the information was correct, so he finally believed it.

"It's just ahead. The bridge is just over it. I have to go back to find Qin Laosi first, otherwise he will still be kept in the dark!"

The uncle took the two of them to the bridge connecting the Jiugong Brigade and the commune. He pointed to the thatched hut in front and wanted to go back impatiently.

Originally, I was waiting for the news that Qin's baby was in the hospital at the gate of the commune. Now I know that Qin Huairu is not doing well in the city, and I want to communicate with Qin Laosi in time. "Uncle, please slow down on the road. My identity is a cadre of a steel rolling mill. Do you understand what I mean?"

Watching the uncle turn around to leave, Li Feng saw Huang Yaqin jumping to the stone bridge, and hurriedly grabbed his arm and gave a vague reminder.

"I know, you all have other identities, the public has passed it on, don't worry, junior."

The uncle patted Li Feng's hand, nodded vigorously, and said seriously.

"Twenty years ago, I embarked on the journey from Xuzhou and started the second Northern Expedition. The Chinese begonia leaves were unified. Wherever my troops went, the people wholeheartedly welcomed them. It was really a great opportunity to seize the opportunity and live full of vitality. , the realm of all things competing is still before our eyes..."

"Haha...Old Song, you don't look like your acting at all. I heard that the old man was so angry that he threw his white gloves on the table. Your hands are so black, go ahead and light the fire!"

"Shenzui, don't be poor with me. I thought I could still attend the meeting. You were still in the south at that time, playing in the mud!"

Perhaps because he was poked in a painful spot, there was a roar from inside the thatched house, and he cursed at Shen Zui who was wearing an apron and rubbing his dough on the millstone outside.

"Hey, Old Song, you can't attack me personally. I was an uprising at that time, so you just have a meeting with the old man, and you're still complacent!"

Shenzui took out his flour-stained hands from the basin, wiped his nose, and shouted into the room without showing any signs of weakness.

"Hey, Boss Shen, you're kneading dough!"

Li Feng, who came over from the stone bridge, put one hand on the bamboo fence of the wall and said hello to Shen Zui.

Huang Yaqin followed smartly, looking at the people in the yard curiously. Seeing that Chen Zui's nose was also covered with flour, she covered her mouth and snickered.

"Hey, this is not, Li, Li Feng!"

Turning his head in surprise, Shen Zui pointed at Li Feng on the edge of the fence with his hand stained with yellow and white flour. He frowned at first, but after remembering his name, he called out with determination.

"Are you two acting? If the old man knew about it, he wouldn't have to curse Xipi!"

"Hahaha!"

"Lao Du, come out quickly, an old acquaintance is here!"

Listening to Li Feng's teasing, Shen Zui didn't take it seriously. He put his hands into the bucket beside him, grinned and washed his hands with ice water, wiped them randomly on his apron, and then rushed over to open the door.

"Hey, why is the girl beside me changed again today!"

Seeing Li Feng and Huang Yaqin entering the yard, Du Yuming was shocked when he walked out of the thatched house, pointed at Huang Yaqin, and asked Li Feng.

"Have you brought anyone else here?"

When Huang Yaqin heard what Boss Du said, she grinded her teeth, looked at Li Feng suspiciously, and asked in a low voice.

"Last time we visited the Forbidden City, that was my sister, and this is my colleague. The driver of the Red Star Commune had a traffic accident and collided with a bus. Let's come over and notify her."

Seeing that Huang Yaqin looked like he wanted to eat people, Li Feng hurriedly explained.

"You are this?"

"I just went to the commune and the door was still locked. What's the matter? Since we are acquaintances, we wouldn't be reluctant to have a casual meal at noon!"

Li Feng took a familiar look at the furnishings in the yard. Everything was neatly prepared. He picked up a stool and sat down on it.

"Hey, we can't afford a meal. It's just a simple meal. Just don't get used to it."

Lao Song, who opened the curtain and walked out, saw that Li Feng and Boss Shen Zuidu seemed to know each other, so he hurriedly put his dark hands into the bucket to wash them, and started joking.

Seeing a group of middle-aged men cooking with live noodles, Huang Yaqin was a little confused. She didn't know who was here, but when she heard that Old Song was the target of a joke, she just smiled shyly and did not explain.

"How's it going? Are you getting used to it here?"

After picking up the enamel bowl and taking a sip of hot tea, Li Feng opened the curtain, looked inside, turned around and asked.

"What's wrong with it..."

"It's not as comfortable as inside. I have to cook here. There's no meat to eat. If I had known, I wouldn't have come out!"

Lao Du seemed to have noticed something, so he handed Li Feng a cigarette and squatted under the eaves to smoke.

But Shen Zui, who had just come out not long ago, might not be used to the hard life. He muttered to himself, looked at the noodles in the basin, then looked at his hands, and complained with a wry smile.

"Uncle Shen, now that you have enough food and clothing, you have to kill pigs while you are in there."

"When you are almost used to it, there will be arrangements from above. I have already said that you are all highly educated people. How can you continue to farm and cook? This is a process."

"Little guy, is what you said true?"

As if seeing hope, Lao Song also moved a stool and sat not far from Li Feng, looking expectantly.

"Don't worry, the country will not forget you. Chinese Begonia leaves are inseparable from the construction of high-quality talents. We are not the captain of the transportation team who is willing to bury talents and take personal command."

"Uncle Pu, why didn't you see him?"

Glancing at Boss Song, Li Feng threw a peony, stood over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Lao Pu himself went to the city again and said he wanted to take a look at the garden. I don't want to accompany him today. The stairs were too hard to climb last time!"

Boss Du patted his leg, shook his head and sighed. Li Feng nodded. The garden is probably the one that was burned by the fire. It can also be regarded as his ancestral property. When people get old, they just want to go to the place where they stayed when they were children. .

"Shenzui, add a little more noodles, so we can eat for two more people at noon. Later, we will bake the bacon and put it on the stove every day. If we don't eat it, we will wait for the Chinese New Year!"

"Then I'll help you and I won't eat for free. I took the bus today and the car hit me. I was busy sending people to the hospital and I'm already hungry!"

When he heard that there was marinated fresh meat, Li Feng became excited. He laughed and slipped into the kitchen where Lao Song had just come out. He picked up the bacon on the stove and started looking for a knife.

"This is waiting for the Chinese New Year. It's just one pound of meat. You have to worry about it every day. When Lao Pu comes back, you have to call me again!"

"He turned out to be an emperor, so he could eat without meat. At that time, we slept in the open air every day, and we were hungry and full every day. Today we will eat bacon. I will go to the vegetable cellar to get cabbage!"

Xiao Huang on the side looked stunned. Li Feng seemed familiar with these people but not familiar with them. They left them to eat, but he just started cutting the meat.
