Chapter 1 Returning Friends
The weather in April is still a bit cold. Fortunately, it is already spring and you can see some green on the roadside.
Cai Hongming sat in the car and looked out the window, feeling the different climates in the northwest and southern Fujian. There were still green trees and flowers in full bloom, but here was a bleak spring.
When he got off at the door of his clinic, he and Cai Hong N were dragging their luggage and were about to go in when they suddenly saw Ji Dong, a junior high school classmate who was going to serve in the army, and said happily: "A Dong, when did you come back?"
Ji Dong was also very happy to see him, so he looked at him and said, "I've been back for a while. I heard your mother say you're married, didn't you bring your wife back?"
"She is still studying and will not graduate in a few months. Let's not talk here, sit inside!" As he said that, he and Cai Hong N pulled their luggage into the house. His father was busy giving massages to others. He said hello to Hong N and ignored them. His mother didn't know where she ran, and she couldn't see anyone.
Cai Hongming took Ji Dong and Hong N upstairs and asked Hong N to go to the room his mother had already packed for him. After putting his luggage in the room, he made tea with Ji Dong in the lobby.
"Last time I met your dad, I heard that you were already a company commander in the army. Congratulations."
"Thank you." Ji Dong nodded.
"Come on, have tea."
Cai Hongming put the brewed tea in front of Ji Dong, and suddenly saw him holding the teacup with his left hand and his right hand was weak. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "What's wrong with your right hand?"
"It's okay, a little bit of injury." Ji Dong said disapprovingly.
Cai Hongming didn't believe it, so he took his hand and squeezed it upward from the bones of his fingers. He reached his arms and shoulders. It seemed that he was too hard, and Ji Dong couldn't stand it and frowned.
"What the hell is going on? How could he be so seriously injured in the army?"
"Actually it's nothing, it's just bad luck. I was lucky enough to be selected into the special forces last year. I was accidentally penetrated by armor-piercing bombs while performing a mission and was stabbed again, so it turned out like this. It's okay, it should be better if I rest for a while." Ji Dong smiled calmly.
Cai Hongming didn't believe his nonsense. If he could be good, he probably wouldn't come to find his father.
"What did my dad say?"
"He said it was difficult to get back to normal, but he could get some strength to restore his hands, but he just couldn't lift heavy things."
What is the difference between such hands and disabled people? Cai Hongming frowned and said, "Take off the clothes and let me see them."
Seeing that he insisted, Ji Dong had to take off his clothes and was taken outside to take a picture. Looking at the filming and carefully checking the location of Ji Dong's shoulder injury, Cai Hongming felt that his hand could recover. This time he went back, he learned a lot from the book his grandfather gave him, including plasters that specifically treat this kind of meridian injury. However, the medicinal materials are very expensive and his family has not cooked them well, so he has to prepare them.
Cai Hongming told him that Ji Dong didn't care. He had been in the army for so long but had not been cured. This time he came back to see Cai Tianfu that he was holding a dead horse as a living horse. If it didn't work, it would be fine.
After watching the injury, the two continued to make tea.
After a while, Cai Hongming asked, "Then are you retired now?"
"Yes." Ji Dong nodded.
"What are you going to do when you come back?"
"I don't know. You said I'm disabled, what else can I do?" Ji Dong touched his arm and smiled bitterly. He said that he didn't think it was fake, but it was already like this. It was useless to be frowning, so he was so open-minded.
"That's it!" Cai Hongming thought for a while and said, "I will develop the desert I bought. Now there is a shortage of people, so come and help me."
"I heard from your mother about this, but what can I do if I go there?"
"Main the worker! There are so many things. If you have comrades in your arms, you can call me here to help. But I just have some life to grow vegetables and raise animals. If they come, don't dislike me."
"I'll try to contact you as much as possible. I don't know if anyone comes."
Cai Hongming didn't sympathize with him. He really needed manpower. One thousand acres of land was all made of machinery. After that, he took out the famous specialty longan, sausage, stone spices from the things he brought back, and a big rice dumpling that he bought in the city with fifteen yuan in wallets of scallops, abalone, chestnuts, three-layer meat and other good things. He liked to eat this thing the most, and brought a lot of it back this time.
"This is a specialty I brought from my home. You can take it back and give it to your aunt and uncle for food."
“This is…too much.”
"I'll bring some back even if I want it."
As he was talking, the little fat Su Cancheng ran up from below with a "double pistol".
"Brother, you are back!" Before he could go upstairs, he heard him shouting below. When he went upstairs, he hurriedly called out, "Brother Adong is here too!"
"Um."
Seeing him coming, Cai Hongming went there and took a bunch of things for him to take them back for food.
"Have you ever gone to Hachikong and the others to take a look?"
"Yes, I'll go there every few days. I've been there for half a month during the Spring Festival?" the fat man said quickly.
After hearing this, Cai Hongming said, "I guess there is something good to eat there, otherwise you wouldn't have stayed there for so long."
Su Cancheng scratched his head, and it was really like this. During the Chinese New Year, Bagong and his friends were so excited that they killed the raspberry and chicken, and they ate four or five pounds. When it snowed, Uncle Shafu took him to the forest to pick up pheasants and rabbits. The wild things tasted much better than those raised in the house when they were cooked.
Seeing him being so stupid, Cai Hongming didn't know anything. He was also a veteran. He asked him to take the things back and help call those friends who often stay together to eat at the barbecue stall at night.
When Su Cancheng heard this, he ran away happily. Ji Dong also said goodbye and left.
In the evening, the old house where the barbecue stall was located was brightly lit, with a steaming hot pot on the table, with various dishes and the sausages, Shima Five Spices, Zongzi and other things specially brought from home by Cai Hongming.
Qi Diao Ji Shao, Tuoba Niu, Gu Lixian and others were all called over, and a group of people were crowded together to eat and drink, which was very lively. Cai Hong N and Su Cancheng seemed to have a bit of a stinking smell, and soon they got along and talked with each other on their shoulders.
The weather became warmer, and after Cai Hongming came back, he also planned to open the barbecue stall.
He planned to let Cai Hong N learn barbecue from Su Cancheng first, and when he got familiar with it, he handed him over the barbecue stall. Xiaopang Su Cancheng asked him to open another store in the city. With money in his hand, he planned to carry forward his barbecue stall and make it a chain store, specializing in Northwest specialty roasted yak meat, mutton, and ostrich meat in the future. With the rice cooked sweet potato porridge and beggar chicken, the business should be good.
