Last night, Yu Cuihua followed her daughter Song Guiqin to scold Zhao Heping, but was beaten by Wang Yushan.

Sun Baocai argued with the Wang family for a long time.

In the end, the Wang family lost five yuan, which was the end of the matter.

But who knew that because everyone was discussing things, Sun Youfu himself was playing in the yard wearing a thin coat and caught a cold.

After sleeping all night, I woke up early with sneezing and runny nose and coughing.

This reminded Yu Cuihua of what Zhao Heping said yesterday.

He said you are blessed to be sick, and you are really sick if you are blessed.

Thinking of her uncle's two missing fingers again, Yu Cuihua felt her scalp numb.

"Mom, aren't you going to borrow a cigarette shell? Why are you back?" Sun Baocai asked curiously.

He still needs to completely heal his finger injury at home before he can go to work in the factory again, so he stays at home.

He has been taking care of his son when he was sick.

My mother-in-law said that the folk remedy of big smoke shell boiled in water can cure headaches, colds, and sore throats, so she had to borrow it from Aunt Shen’s house.

Why did you close the door again before you even went out?

"Oh, I'll go right away." Yu Cuihua came back to her senses, opened the door and took a look. Seeing that Zhao Heping had left, she went to Aunt Shen's house to borrow a cigarette casing.

Common people are superstitious about folk remedies.

Yu Cuihua, in particular, has formed the habit of firmly believing in folk remedies to cure serious illnesses in rural areas.

So when her grandson caught a cold and coughed, she immediately thought of Aunt Shen’s big smoke shell.

There are no secrets in the courtyard. As soon as Yu Cuihua borrowed the cigarette casing, everyone knew that Sun Youfu had a cold.

"Zhao Heping got it right again. Sun Youfu is really sick."

"It was the same last time. Zhao Heping talked about Sun Baocai last time, and something happened to Sun Baocai the next day. It happened again this time."

"It's a coincidence once, but it can't be a coincidence twice, right?"

"Did he really learn any skills when he became an educated youth?"

Everyone is restless.

Although feudal superstitions are said to be getting rid of, many people secretly pray to gods and worship Buddha.

No matter how bad life is, during the holidays, old ladies will sneak out and find a place to burn paper money.

why?

Isn’t it just awe of ghosts and gods?

If Zhao Heping has the ability in this area, who can live a good life without having to offend him for nothing?

"According to me, the quarrel between Baocai's wife and his mother-in-law is a little too much. The clay figurine is still earthy. What does Heping's father's matter have to do with Heping and his mother? As for scolding people with this every day?"

"It's just that we are all neighbors. It's hard to tell others. We have seen each other for so many years. Heping has always been honest. If he hadn't been pressed, he wouldn't have known anyone else."

"That's right, they all live in a courtyard. They value peace and build up some moral integrity for themselves."

The wind direction in the courtyard began to change instantly.

Zhao Heping didn't know about Sun Youfu's cold. He went out to see Secretary Song at the No. [-] Steel Rolling Mill, and planned to call Shen Qingru to ask about his father.

However, Secretary Song called but did not find Shen Qingru.

"The Shen family said that Qingru had to go out because of something and would not be able to return home until noon."

As for what it was, Secretary Song was not in a position to ask, so there was no way to know.

Zhao Heping couldn't wait all morning, so he said: "Secretary Song, I came here this time to inquire about the progress of my father's clearing of the charge of defection."

"Please call Shen Qingru at noon and ask her to help me ask."

"I still have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."

Only Shen Qingru had the ability to help him with this matter.

Secretary Song nodded with a smile on his face: "Okay, I will make another call at noon to ask."

"If there is definite news, I will send someone to the courtyard to inform you."

"That way you can rest assured."

Ever since he knew that Shen Longyi was willing to marry his granddaughter to Zhao Heping, Secretary Song became extremely concerned about Zhao Heping's affairs.

"Okay, thank you, Secretary Song." Zhao Heping expressed his sincere thanks.

Then he told Secretary Song, and after coming out of the steel rolling mill, he went straight to Zheng Dingfu's house.

Now that Old Huangtou is here, his body also needs nutrition, so vegetables, meat and eggs are essential.

He still had money and food stamps, but not meat and egg stamps, so he had to go to Zheng Dingfu and exchange his food stamps for some meat and egg stamps first.

As for the final payment owed to Zheng Dingfu, it can only be postponed for a while.

When they arrived at Zheng Dingfu's house, Zheng Dingfu was quite happy to see him appear: "Zhao Heping? How did you know that I was back?"

"I'm telling you, this trip is the farthest I've ever gone out. I've been on trains, passenger cars, donkey carts, and horse-drawn carriages."

"When I have money in the future, I will definitely go to all parts of the country and enjoy the mountains and rivers."

Going on a trip for the first time was a very novel experience for Zheng Dingfu, and he never forgot it when he came back.

Zhao Heping understood his mood.

For those who have never been out, from seeing only the neighbors where they live, to going out and seeing people going north and south, and hearing different people talk about what they saw and heard, they will inevitably have a lot of emotions in their hearts.

"How was it? Did this trip go well?" Zhao Heping asked casually.

Zheng Dingfu said with a smile: "It went well, it's just that your friend's people suddenly found me and shocked me."

Zhao Heping quickly asked what was going on.

Zheng Dingfu explained what happened in detail: "At that time, as you said, I was in the town called Tupo Town to inquire about the salesman."

"It took two days of asking before I found out where the salesman was."

"Then I went to the salesman and paid him to go to Taojia Village to help find out about Shen Qingru you mentioned."

"Who knew that when the salesman came back, he would bring two soldiers with him."

"The two soldiers were armed with guns. When they saw me, they pointed their guns at me and interrogated me as to why I wanted to inquire about Shen Qingru."

When Zheng Dingfu said this, his eyes showed fear.

It was obvious that the incident of being pointed at a gun left him still frightened.

"I thought at the time that I was being treated as a spy. It would be unjust to be shot."

"So I quickly begged them not to shoot, and then confessed you."

He was afraid that Zhao Heping would blame him, so he quickly added: "Don't blame me. At that time, I could only tell the truth."

Zhao Heping smiled: "I don't blame you, you did the right thing, what happened next?"

Zheng Dingfu continued: "Later, the two soldiers listened to what I said, asked a few questions in detail, and then left directly."

"He came back the next day and told me that the person I was asking about was fine and had returned to Beijing safely."

"Just let me go back to Beijing directly. You also asked me how much money you promised to give me, and how much money you still owe me. After asking me clearly, you will settle it for me."

"Then I came back. I just got home last night, and you are here today."
