Chapter 10 chapter Ten

As soon as Uncle Ma arrived at the entrance of the veterinary station, he set up the cart, his face was red and rusty, like pig iron, and walked around the cow, and then said sharply: "Okay! Old Du, it's good for you to treat the cow. , put it to death!" Uncle Du said with a mournful face, "Captain, since the bull was eunuched, what Arhat and I have suffered is not a human crime. It is going to die, and there is nothing we can do about it!" I said, "We haven't slept for four days and four nights." Uncle Ma said: "Shut up! If you dare to intervene again, let's see if I dare to slap you with a big ear scraper!"

Uncle Ma asked Uncle Du: "What do the people at the veterinary station say?" Uncle Du said: "Until now, I haven't seen a single person in the veterinary station!" "Are you dead people?" Uncle Ma said, "Why didn't you call them?" Uncle Du said: "We almost broke the big iron gate! Ask Arhat if you don't believe me." I shut my mouth tightly, for fear that words would come out of my mouth. Uncle Ma rolled a cigarette, stuck out his tongue and licked the cigarette paper, Hua took out the cigarette powder on his tongue, and cursed by the way: "Damn it!"

Uncle Du said: "Captain, you can kill or chop as you like, but you can't scold me. I will be 70 years old in a blink of an eye." Uncle Ma said, "Did I scold you? Really, I scolded you!" Uncle Du said: "You can scold the cow, but you can't scold me." Uncle Ma looked at Uncle Du and threw the rolled cigarette in his hand. Uncle Du caught it in a hurry, took out the lighter and lit it himself.He squatted down to smoke, shrinking his body like a frightened hedgehog. At this time, the broadcast stopped, the fog basically cleared, and the sun rose.As soon as the sun came out, our eyes suddenly became brighter.The bustling scene of the commune resident is unfolding in front of us.Opposite the veterinary station, across a stone-paved street is the large courtyard of the commune's revolutionary committee.On the two brick piles at the gate, there are two long and large signs, both with red letters on a white background, one is for the Revolutionary Committee, and the other is for the Commune Party Committee.Facing the gate is a rectangular wall with a red sun, green waves, and a big white boat with its bow raised high.Next to the red sun, there is a line of crooked characters: Sailing the sea depends on the helmsman.On the left of the Gongdu gate is the supply and marketing cooperative, and on the right is the restaurant.On the right side of the hotel is the grain management office; on the left side of the supply and marketing cooperative is the post office.Behind us is the veterinary station; on the left of the veterinary station is the slaughter team; on the right of the veterinary station is the armed department.The party and government organs and business departments of the whole commune are all in this group, and our cattle are almost lying in the very center of the commune.I felt that the gates of those institutions were all gloomy, as if they were going to swallow us up. This feeling was very strong, but Uncle Ma had forbidden me to speak, so I could only hide my feelings in my heart.

The number of people on Shitiao Street quickly increased.White smoke rose from the chimney of the office cafeteria, and soon there was an aroma.The strongest and most captivating of these smells is that of fried dough sticks.I seem to have seen the scene of golden fried dough sticks rolling in the oil pan.Then I remembered, isn't Uncle Du's eldest daughter and son-in-law a master cook in the commune cafeteria?If Uncle Du went in to find him, he would definitely eat him up.Uncle Du may have forgotten about this relative because of the dead cow.He also has a four-day son-in-law who is slaughtering pigs in the slaughter team. If Uncle Du wants to go in and find him, he will definitely have a good stomach.Uncle Du also forgot about this relative.More importantly, Uncle Du's sons-in-law are likely to invite me and Uncle Ma in, and let us have a good meal with their father-in-law.I looked at Uncle Du and reminded him with anxious eyes.But Uncle Du's eyes were squinted, as if he couldn't see anything.The words are on my lips, and they may break out at any time.At this time, Uncle Ma said: "Old Du, you didn't go to see your two noble sons-in-law?"

Uncle Du said, "What are you looking at? They are all government officials, and they have gone to affect their work." Uncle Ma said: "The emperor has two poor relatives! Go and have a look, it's time for dinner." Uncle Du said: "I will starve to death and will not eat the food I begged for." Uncle Ma said: "Old Du, I know how narrow-minded you are. Aren't you just afraid that I and Arhat will be in your favor? We won't go if we don't go!" Uncle Du grinned, as if about to cry, and held back for a long time before saying, "Captain, you are bullying an honest man!"

"I was just joking with you, but you took it seriously!" Uncle Ma said with an awkward smile; suddenly he said seriously: "Old Comrade Dong is here!" Old Comrade Dong came jumping up and down the stone street on his bicycle.He rode very fast, as if he saw us.He jumped out of the car in front of the cow and said loudly, "Old Guan, is it you?" He looked at me and Uncle Du, and said, "It's you?" Then he stood in front of the cow and said, "What is this?" What did you do?" Old Comrade Dong squatted down, looked at the bull's eyes, squatted and moved back a few steps, looked at the cow's egg skin, as if he couldn't see clearly, he took off his glasses, put them on his trousers, wiped them, put them on, Looking more closely, his nose is almost touching the hide of the cow.He poked it with a finger and sighed.He stood up, took off his glasses and wiped them again, squeezing his eyes hard, with a painful expression on his face.He said, "You guys, why didn't you come earlier?"

Uncle Ma said, "We came here last night! The doorknob was broken!" Old Comrade Dong lowered his voice and said: "Old Guan, if someone asks, I hope you will say that I was rescued all night, and finally died of a serious illness!" Uncle Ma said: "You are telling us to lie!" Old Comrade Dong said: "Help me!" Uncle Ma said to us in a low voice: "Did you hear clearly? Follow the old Comrade Dong's instructions!" Old Comrade Dong said: "Thank you, I will issue a death certificate for you."
