Chapter 36 Twenty-nine, blowing the loess wind

At noon in summer in the capital, the whole city takes a nap, and the streets are so quiet that only cicadas are heard.The man who sharpens the scissors and sharpens the kitchen knife prefers to come at that time. When he comes, when he calls, the women go out to the street to find him sharpening their knives.The chef is in charge of sharpening the kitchen knives in the successor family, so Chen Xiang is most afraid of hearing the knife sharpener call at noon.It would be even worse if you played the trumpet again, which would startle people out of sleep, and the sound would be so loud that it would still reach your bedside even through high walls.Chen Xiang sometimes simply waited for him to come and then waited for him to leave before going to sleep.In the afternoon, when everyone got up, they heard the popsicle seller yelling: "Go to the popsicles, three minutes and five minutes—" When Hong Jun came home on weekends, he went to buy popsicles in the afternoon and came back to eat.He's grown into a lad and he's still a kid, love

Go to temple fairs with Chen Xiang, love to buy clay figurines, love to watch big grass goldfish fight.Chen Xiang was careful with her stepchildren, and the chef joked with her: "Not yet married? Why don't you have two children?" Chen Xiang decided that she couldn't give birth to such good children, and besides, these children were not the same mother born.The newly hired temporary female worker came from a nearby village. Every day when she came, she would talk about the things between her and her husband. Chen Xiang was so ashamed for her, but she couldn't stop talking, as if she would have to talk about it if she didn't talk about it. Get ill.When she spoke, her face glowed, and she turned red when the light magnified, but she was not ashamed.Chen Xiang's little knowledge about men and women comes from her.Sometimes she started the talk by crying that her husband beat her up. As soon as Chen Xiang worried about her and wanted to comfort her, she started talking about how happy they were in bed.Chen Xiang felt that there must be something wrong with this woman's brain.Once, a female worker said that her husband was ill and was hospitalized, and the doctor injected him with "mosquito killer".After a few days, she quit her job and went to take care of her husband.

Mei came back and said that the church was cleaned up, and Chen Xiang was glad that he had no public office and no longer had to be censored.Later, Mei said that Shufeng was judged as an ambitious man and was demoted, saying that he ignored the main church.Chen Xiang's heart sank, remembering that every time Shufeng came to this house, everyone in the yard always laughed so hard that everyone in the courtyard could hear that Ming'er couldn't laugh so much anymore, and the hall heard that he was arrogant. An old man came from the big island, he said he was a friend of Jicheng, and he also knew Jihe.No one in the book owner's family had seen him before, but they still accepted him to live in the guest room, and entertained him with delicious food and drinks.The old man said that Jihe entrusted him with a dream and asked him to take a look. No one would believe his words, so he entertained him with delicious food and drinks.The old man wandered around the yard all day long and didn't sleep at night, walking from the front yard to the back yard alone.Chen Xiang woke up in the middle of the night and saw him wandering around through the window. It was so embarrassing. One day, the old man said to Chen Xiang: "Something is going to happen. Something big is going to happen." Chen Xiang said: "It should have happened earlier." She told the old man Something about book style.The old man said: "This is just the beginning. Bigger things are yet to come." Chen Xiang said: "How is it possible? Such a big family is still doing well. Don't scare me." The old man Er said, "To tell you the truth, I'm more worried about Da Dao, because the people of Da Dao are going to be in trouble." Chen Xiang said, "How can things here go to other places? Don't worry too much, it's better to stay in the city." Let's have fun." The old man walked away muttering, and the next day, Chen Xiang found that the old man had disappeared, and he could not be found anywhere, so he left without saying goodbye.

Immediately afterwards, loess fell from the sky, the yellow wind blew, and the sky was full of red.After the loess wind blows, the church will demote the title of the book owner, and all the senior leaders of the original unified 67th Army will be demoted.The guards are gone, the pistols are confiscated, the chef has been transferred, and there are no other civil servants except the driver.Chen Xiang was thankful again that she was out of public office and could stay in her step-family. She felt that she was the only free person in the world who could choose which family to live with and which family to bring up the children with a lot of salary.

After a while, I moved to a smaller courtyard house. It was said that it was small, but there were still twenty rooms in two courtyards.Chen Xiang was secretly delighted, and said to Hong Jun: "Look, anyone who has made a career will never go anywhere. Look at your father, the government still values ​​him. It's best when you grow up." Don't be afraid of blows if you do great things." Hong Jun was speechless after hearing this.Hongyue has grown up a bit, and likes to piss on the ground and walk around in the yard with her feet, stepping on rows of wet footprints, watching and laughing to herself.

In the new home, Chen Xiang became the leader inside and out.Cooking, grocery shopping, taking care of the kids, cleaning.She also planted big chrysanthemums and peonies in the yard, saying it looked festive.She said to Mei: "Energize this family, even if they are all dismissed, they will still be able to live." She raised a large flock of chickens and went to see if the hens were laying eggs every morning. kill.Another large litter of rabbits was raised and fed with rotten vegetable leaves. Once the rabbits gained weight, they were stewed with chicken. Every time the meat was served, Chen Xiang had to say: "Rabbits have no taste, what kind of meat comes with it. "Once in a while I would bring a sheep to kill, but if I didn't dare to kill it, I would ask the book owner to help kill it.If the book owner can follow Chen Xiang to kill sheep, Chen Xiang must make the book owner satisfied with his daily meals.She invented a big dish, which is to put pig, sheep, beef, and chicken together, cook a big pot of soup, put all kinds of vegetables, spices, potatoes, everything in it. Bring to a simmer.This thick broth can be eaten with flatbread or soaked in rice, and it tastes delicious no matter how you eat it.

After the book owner was demoted, he was assigned to the department in charge of the hospital.He didn't know medicine, so he wrote to his father Jicheng for advice, and found that his father was researching how to make a medicine that would allow women to have sons, saying that it was to support the unified army.The owner of the book suspects that the old man is old and has something wrong with his brain, so his mother, Xiuer, wrote another letter saying that the reason why Jicheng made the medicine was because he remembered the old man Jihe's wish during his lifetime, and hoped that the owner would have more sons.The book owner joked about this matter at the dinner table, saying that his father should be transferred to the Ministry of National Defense to help military families with family planning, or he should go to the Ministry of Agriculture. "What's wrong with a girl? She's also a step-family member," said the book owner.He still goes to work early and late, and loves his family and the government's medical career.Chen Xiang said to Mei: "If I had known that Minister Ji loves herbal medicine, it would be better to learn medicine early, so as to be safe." Mei said: "Sister, what are you talking about? Unification is the first. We have to believe that the government will make misunderstandings come true." Clear." Chen Xiang believed in Mei's words, and sometimes when she was cooking, she thought, it's okay to let the government criticize, everyone should be content with such a stable life.Look, the garden is full of flowers, not worse than before. If Mei gives birth to another son, our life will be even hotter.

Not long after, the news came: Shufeng committed suicide.
