Hearing Zhang Tianzheng's shouts, a middle-aged woman who was feeding pigs in the nearby pigsty came out with a spoon. When she saw it, she said with a smile, "it's brother Zhang. The old man in my family is drinking a little wine at home. It's just like this old man. People are working and he's still drinking. You can help me to persuade him."
"Ha ha, brother-in-law, it's not a bad thing to drink. It's better than going out to do those stupid things in the dark, isn't it?" Zhang Tianzheng said with a smile, "is Qinglong back? Still working in Ninghai? "
"No, I'm working on Ninghai construction site with my daughter-in-law! It's not easy to make money these days. As you know, we have little land and no other business. Ah, it's hard for my son. He's so dark that he hasn't given birth to a fat boy yet. Lao Niu's disease is cured, but he can't do heavy work, and he owes some debts. His family depends on him for a living! " The middle-aged woman sighed, and then she noticed the beautiful Zhang Jingyi. She said, "brother Zhang, is such a beautiful girl your granddaughter?"
"How can I be so lucky? This is Miss Zhang from Ninghai, the provincial capital. She is a friend of my grandson Xiao Qiang." Zhang Tianzheng is quite proud when he talks about this. Although Xiao Qiang has explained that Zhang Jingyi and he are not lovers, the more he looks at them, the more they are right. When he introduces them to others as friends, he always thinks in this way. His grandson has such a beautiful female friend, which is undoubtedly a face to Lao Zhang's parents, isn't it?
"Yo, your grandson's girlfriend is really beautiful. She's still a city dweller. It's amazing." Middle aged women show admiration and respect. After all, they have a natural sense of respect for beautiful women from the city and rural people.
"Hello, auntie. It's not a little respect." Zhang Jingyi's pretty face flushed slightly. Instead of explaining, she handed the gift she had prepared before. You can't visit people empty handed, let alone ask questions?
"You see, it's an honor to come to our shabby house. I can't take any gifts with me. I can't..." the old Niutou's wife just wanted to politely refuse, but she found that Zhang Jingyi was carrying two bottles of Maotai liquor and a Chinese cigarette. Her eyes were staring straight. She couldn't say no more if she didn't want to. Although she is not knowledgeable, who doesn't know Maotai is a famous liquor? Who doesn't know China is a famous cigarette?
After receiving the gift, the old Tauren's wife immediately became more enthusiastic and quickly said with a smile, "come into the house, old Tauren's legs are inconvenient. Let's go into the house and have a chat."
Zhang Tianzheng nodded with a smile, and the three went into the humble thatched cottage. As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Qiang smelled a strong smell of inferior liquor. Sitting on the low stool, he drank alone a middle-aged man in his late fifties. His skin was dark, his body was thin, and his face was a bit of morbid red. This man is Lao Niutou, the owner of this poor family.
"Brother Zhang, are you here? Come on, have a drink with me. " The old ox head took the initiative to pour a cup of wine to Zhang Tianzheng, belched and said, "let's go one."
"I said, laoniutou, don't indulge in alcohol too much. Drinking too much wine will hurt your health." Zhang Tianzheng did not mean to drink, but sighed and handed a cigarette in the past, said, "the family is so bitter, although you have a leg injury, but at least you should share some of the work you can do."
After drinking the wine in the bowl, Lao Niutou said helplessly, "what else can I do? If I were not lucky, I would have died long ago. Sometimes I think that it's more painful to live if I die earlier than I live. "
"How do you say that?" Zhang Tianzheng said anxiously, "if you think so, I'm sorry for the old Chinese medicine doctor who cured you!"
Laoniutou said with a bitter smile, "the old Chinese medicine doctor really cured my disease, but now I have lost the ability to work. I can't work in the field. I eat and sleep all day like a waste man. What fun do you have in this life?"
Xiao Qiang noticed at this time that there was a shocking scar on laoniutou's right leg. It can be seen that his leg was seriously injured. Zhang Tianzheng said with a smile, "let me introduce you. This is uncle Niu. He used to be the biggest man in our village! But two years ago, he was hit by a tractor and his right leg was seriously fractured and deformed, becoming a cripple. Fortunately, the old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in the mountain corrected his lame leg, but now he can't go down to the ground to do heavy work. "
Hearing what Zhang Tianzheng said, Xiao Qiang knew that he wanted help. After thinking about it, he said, "Uncle Niu, you can't be too pessimistic. You can't grow this field. You can do other things! So, isn't your son working in Ninghai city? That's just right. You can work as a security guard in my friend Miss Zhang's company. The security guard is only responsible for the work on duty. It's not very complicated, and you don't have to do any heavy manual work. It's just right for a person like you. What do you think, Miss Zhang? "
Of course, Zhang Jingyi knew that Xiao Qiang was flattering laoniutou. After giving him kindness, it would be no difficulty for him to tell the truth. She immediately nodded with a smile and said, "no problem. My company was going to recruit security guards. Of course, uncle Niu couldn't be better. The salary of our company's security guard is 2500 yuan per month, including food and housing. I wonder if Uncle Niu is interested in it? "
"What?" The head of the old cow stared at them, and the wine bowl in his hand fell to the ground. After waiting for his reaction, he immediately said excitedly, "this, this is true?"
"Of course, it's true. You can report it anytime you want. My company is Melinda Cosmetics Co., Ltd. It's in Tianyu Building, block a, No.3 Xihang street, Ninghai city. I'll call my secretary so that you can report at the end of this month. " Zhang Jingyi said with a smile, "in this way, your family can get together in Ninghai."
"Good, good! Oh, thank you so much Lao Niutou was so excited that he could hardly speak. In a panic, he picked up the wine bowl and said, "Miss Zhang, I'm stupid and I don't know how to say thank you. I respect you... Oh no, I'm going to work. I promise I won't drink any more!"
"Ha ha, laoniutou, look at your nervousness. Miss Zhang is my grandson's friend. She can't speak without words. You can rest assured." Zhang Tianzheng of course also knows why Xiao Qiang took the initiative to introduce his work to laoniutou. When he said that, he cut to the point and said, "laoniutou, we have something to ask you for help today."
"Oh, brother Zhang, what can I do for you? As long as you have something to say, it's not ambiguous as long as I can do it!" Laoniutou's expression is excited. Compared with being able to go to a big city and have a stable job, nothing is busy.
"Ha ha, it's like this. Miss Zhang is suffering from a strange disease, which can't be cured by the hospitals in the city. So she wants to go up the mountain to find an old Chinese medicine doctor. Do you know how to find an old Chinese medicine doctor? " Zhang Tianzheng said bluntly, "I think about it. It's like you are the last one who has been treated by the old Chinese medicine in the village, so I want to ask."
As soon as laoniutou heard this, he frowned. After thinking about it, he said, "brother Zhang, to tell you the truth, my illness was treated by an old Chinese medicine doctor more than two years ago. As you know, the old Chinese medicine doctor has many temporary residences on the mountain. I found him that year because someone in the village happened to meet him when he was cutting firewood. After talking to him, I agreed on a place to find him. If I wanted to go up the mountain to find him, It's not that difficult. The mountain area behind Jiang village is a vast area of barren mountains, where there are few people. It is no doubt that looking for an old Chinese medicine doctor is looking for a needle in the sea. He's such an eccentric person that it's hard for ordinary people to find him
Hearing this, Xiao Qiang and Zhang Jingyi were filled with disappointment. It seems that it's not so difficult to find old TCM doctors. It's impossible to find any clues.
