Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 50 Going to the countryside with grandpa

Now that he has decided to be discharged from the hospital, Zhang Heping has no intention of dragging his feet.

Zhang Heping asked his cousin to help him carry his things and took him to Dr. Zhao, leaving two net bags with gifts as thanks.

If it weren't for Dr. Zhao, Comrade Zhang wouldn't be admitted to the special needs ward.

Later, Zhang Heping asked his cousin to follow him to carry the canned fruit, and went to the doctor's office to deliver one bottle per person. Then he went to deliver three bottles to the full-time nurse in the special needs ward who worked in the third shift, and asked her to share it with the other two nurses.

In this way, Zhang Heping had some connections at Xuanwu Hospital in the capital.

"Lao San, San Wazi gave away so many good things and you didn't say anything about it? This is too wasteful!"

Zhang Heping returned to the ward, frowned and said to his uncle Zhang Cheng, who had a pained face:

"Uncle, put away your little family spirit. This is the capital. Be careful that your cousin won't be able to marry a wife from the city in the future!"

As soon as these words came out, the uncle immediately shut up, and grandma glared at him.

When I was discharged from the hospital, hired a truck to haul people and things, and carried those gifts, it was really arrogant...

At noon, Zhang Heping took his mother Ma Xiuzhen and his two sisters to the department store and bought his mother a gray double-breasted Lenin suit and two white Shirts.

After buying the clothes, Ma Xiuzhen kept saying they were expensive on the way back.

As a result, she wore her new clothes to kindergarten in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Zhang Heping took his uncle and cousin on a shopping spree, letting them experience what it means to spend money like water...

25 yuan, 6 cents and 8 cents!

In the middle of the journey, he even took the time to send a telegram to his grandfather: Get food!

After they went to return 4 kilograms of stick noodles and tickets to Zhang Bing's four old comrades, it was evening and the whole family rushed to the bathhouse.

The men had their hair cut first, and then the uncle and cousin helped Lao Zhang into the bathhouse. Zhang Heping followed behind with his fourth child, Zhang Cuiyan, who was curious about everything.

When it was time to go to bed, Zhang Bing slept in the east wing, and Zhang Heping, next to his uncle and his family of three, slept on the kang in the left ear room and spread out old clothes for the night.

The next morning, after grandma saw off his uncle and the others, Zhang Heping secretly prepared his luggage.

A white cloth bag, a large glass can with boiling water, a small glass can with 3 taels of salt, a box of matches, and the hatchet at home.

This knife is magical and contributes a skill to him.

Wood Cleaver Technique: Dacheng (5%).

His grandfather's home was in a mountainous area, and Zhang Heping estimated that the food and accommodation there would not be very good, so he prepared 15 steamed buns for dry food and a hollow hammock that he made with hemp rope.

Finally, there was the silver needle. He searched several trust stores but couldn't buy it, so he had to give up for the time being and think of a solution when he got to Majiatun.

Near noon on the third day, my grandfather Ma Changming arrived carrying two pheasants and some ginger and garlic in a backpack.

Most of the ginger and garlic were used by grandma Xie Ermei to plant seeds in the flower garden. Zhang Heping only kept a little bit, and added some angelica root, rhizome root, eucalyptus root, locust root and chicken blood vine bought at the drug store, and stewed two pheasants.

Pheasant Angelica Decoction can treat muscle and bone weakness.

Day 4, Saturday, April 7th.

Under his grandma's jealous eyes, Zhang Heping put two bottles of canned fruit, two boxes of canned luncheon meat, two cans of malted milk, and two packages of brown sugar wrapped in yellow paper at the bottom of his grandfather's basket, and then put the 70 kilograms of corn noodles in the cloth bag. Press on it.

Finally, Zhang Heping brought a small spoon to his grandma, opened a can of canned cherries, and called two little girls over to distract her. Then he put a roll of woolen tickets into her pocket and asked her to give it to her mother, Ma Xiuzhen, at noon.

Then, in the name of taking his grandfather to the station, he took two more bags of sugar, put them into a white cloth bag, and went out with the white cloth bag in hand.

When he arrived at the station, Zhang Heping took his grandfather's letter of introduction and ran to buy a ticket, and then followed his grandfather onto an airbag bus.

Seeing the driver sitting in the driving seat and the ticket inspector starting to check the tickets, grandpa Ma Changming quickly asked Zhang Heping to get out of the car, "Sanwazi, the bus is about to leave. You go back early. Grandpa will bring you meat next month."

"Grandpa!" Zhang Heping handed the ticket to the ticket inspector who came over and said with a smile, "Today is Saturday."

"Uh..." Grandpa Ma Changming saw the ticket inspector going to see other people, and found that Zhang Heping had two tickets in his hand, "Why did you buy two... No, you followed grandpa, does your mother know?"

"I left them a note!"

"That won't work, you still have to go to school, get off the car!" Grandpa Ma Changming said, and was about to ask the driver to stop driving, but unexpectedly, his left pulse gate was buckled by Zhang Heping, and his whole body suddenly lost all strength, until After the car drove out of the station, he regained his composure.

……

At noon, when the Zhang family was having dinner in the east wing of the front yard, they discovered that Zhang Heping had disappeared somewhere.

They didn't pay attention at first until a telegram from Baoding arrived in the afternoon: We have arrived in Baoding.

Then, grandma Xie Ermei remembered that her grandson had given her a roll of woolen tickets and asked her to give them to Ma Xiuzhen when he left.

When Ma Xiuzhen came home at night and opened the ticket and found a key and a note inside, she learned that Zhang Heping had gone to Majiatun, her natal home.

The key is that this brat has already asked for leave from the school in advance, which means that it has been planned for a long time.

Ma Xiuzhen was angry, "Zhang Xiaosan, wait until you come back and see how I deal with you!"

……

After eight o'clock in the evening, Zhang Heping took the letter of introduction issued by the Majiatun Village Committee and even asked several hostels in the county to let them stay.

"Grandpa, why doesn't your letter of introduction work?" Zhang Heping looked at the scattered lights in the distance and thought about countermeasures rapidly. If it didn't work, he would pretend to have appendicitis and go to the hospital to sleep on a bed.

"Bad boy, I thought you knew everything!" Grandpa Ma Changming smiled and took back the letter of introduction, carefully folded it and put it in his pocket, "This is a letter of introduction issued by the village committee, not by these units. In their case It definitely won’t work!”

"Grandpa, drink some water!" Zhang Heping took out the glass jar from the bag, handed it to his grandfather, and asked: "With this letter of introduction from the village, where can I stay?"

After Ma Changming took a sip of water, he handed the glass jar back and said with a smile: "It depends on how courageous you are!"

Later, no matter how Zhang Heping asked, grandpa Ma Changming would not say where he was going.

Not long after, when the two arrived at the guest house next to the county government, Ma Changming took out a letter of introduction, handed it to the receptionist, frowned and said, "You're from Majiatun, come here and report the difficulties to the leader!"

Then, after paying 1 yuan, they stayed in the county committee guest house!

Zhang Heping paid 5 cents to go to the water room to get a bottle of boiled water. He returned to the triple room where they lived, closed the door and asked, "Grandpa, what should I do with this timid person?"

Ma Changming called his grandson in front of him and whispered: "If you are timid, go to a hotel near the station and sleep in a big room. Things will be stolen easily."

The next morning, the grandfather and grandson ate two steamed buns with boiling water from the guest house, and then headed into the mountains.

"Grandpa, how long does it take to walk on this mountain road?" Zhang Heping felt tired after walking for who knows how long.

"Come on, we can see our house after climbing over the two mountains in front."

Zhang Heping felt bored, he put the cloth bag on his shoulder with his left hand, and held the woodcutter in his right hand, chopping downwards one after another, using his woodcutter technique.

"Grandpa, when you left home before and arrived in Baoding at night, did you also use the same trick as reported and stay at the county committee guest house?"

"That's not true. The county party committee guest house is too expensive. The Datong store in the hotel only charges 1 cents. I sleep lightly at night and I am not afraid of theft."
