Chapter 674 The Fat Man Wants to Seek Medical Treatment
It has been sunny these days. I guess God also knew that the harvest season was coming, so it was a blessing that it didn’t rain and the sun was shining every day.
The washed rapeseed is actually not very moist. It is not as humid as when it was just recovered from the field, so it only took half a day to dry it all.
"Zhang An, Xiao Chen, you can take the bags and go to the fields to collect rapeseeds."
Before five o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Fang was walking around the fields with a rake. After a lap, he came back and called Zhang An and the others to collect the rapeseeds.
Although God is very generous now, the weather in May and June is no different from that of a child. No one can tell when it will start to change its face.
Wang Fang has suffered a lot of losses after spending so many years watching the sky and eating, so after seeing the rapeseed drying, she was ready to take it back.
And I posted so much today, it will take a lot of time to take it back.
"Aunt Wang, the sun is still so bright now, don't you need to bask in it more?"
Chen Ze looked at the sun still hanging high in the sky, blooming with rays of light, and asked Wang Fang .
It's summer now, and the daylight hours have lengthened a lot. When the weather is good, the sun doesn't start to set until after six o'clock, and it doesn't get dark until about eight o'clock.
It’s just before five o’clock, which is indeed quite early.
“It’s ready. It has already been dried in the sun. Today, it is just to dry out the soaked water vapor. Moreover, water needs to be added when it is used for oil extraction. There is no need to dry it too much. "
Wang Fang said as she picked up the nylon bags tied into a bundle and walked into the field.
Don’t be too hasty about what’s drying in the yard, because it’s right at the door. It won’t take much time and you can finally clean it up.
When he heard his mother shouting, Zhang An had already arrived in the field and was gathering the mosquito nets together with his father.
As soon as Chen Ze came over, he took the initiative to pick up the dustpan and put handfuls in his pockets.
Most of the items here are owned by them, so you can’t be lazy.
Because there was too much sun, it was too slow for just a few of them to clean up. Some villagers who had nothing to do saw it and took the initiative to come over and help.
In rural areas, this kind of thing is very common. Today you help me and I will help you tomorrow. No matter whose family needs to dry food, there may be times when they are too busy, so it is good for each other to help each other. It's normal.
Even if other people came to help, Chen Ze was still very tired in the end.
He has always been used to being leisurely, but today he suffered a serious crime.
This was when Zhang An was moving into the truck bed, but Zhang An didn't let him pass his hand, otherwise, he might be lying still now.
Because he planned to use it to press oil tomorrow, he took it to the yard. Zhang An didn't bother to move it down anymore. He just brought a large tarpaulin to cover it in case the weather changed at night.
Not long after dinner in the evening, Fatty called me for the first time in a long time.
"Zhang An, what have you been doing during this time?"
I don't know why, but after marriage, the fat man's tone of voice is not as loud as before, and he feels that he has been weakened a lot.
"There is nothing to do, we are all at home, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Zhang An was lying in the yard, blowing the cool evening breeze, and his tone was lazy of.
"Because we are going to your place tomorrow, and we are afraid that you will not be at home for something, so we call in advance to ask."
After the Chinese New Year, Fatty didn't come back much. He looked very busy. The few times he came here to pull fish, it was all the masters under him who came here.
"By the way, Daozhang Zhang is still in the village recently, right?"
After finishing speaking, the fat man asked about Zhang Yixing again.
"They must be there. The old man doesn't go out to travel anymore. He stays in the temple every day. Why do you ask?"
Zhang An heard the fat man talking about Zhang Yixing, I couldn't help but asked curiously.
"That's right, he has been feeling a little uncomfortable recently, so we want to go to his old man for help."
On the other end of the phone, before the fat man spoke, Zhang Zilin spoke first. .
"Are you not feeling well? Where do you feel uncomfortable? What is the specific method of discomfort? Tell me and I will show it to you."
When I heard that the fat man seemed to have some minor problems, Zhang God comes when you settle down.
In the past few years, he has read all the medical books that Zhang Yixing has collected all his life, and he often goes there to ask for advice.
So now he can be considered a good doctor. Even compared with those experienced old Chinese doctors, he only lacks a little experience.
So normally, as long as it is not too difficult a problem or an incurable disease, he can take a look at it. After all, he is familiar with 300 Tang poems and can recite them even if he can't compose them.
"Well, it's not a big problem, so I won't tell you. I'll just ask Mr. Zhang for help then."
Hearing Zhang An ask, The fat man became a little hesitant when he spoke, as if it was difficult to speak.
"Well, that's okay, we'll talk about it when you get here."
Hearing the fat man's hesitation, as if he had something to hide, Zhang An stopped asking in detail.
But seeing the fat man like this, he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that problem?
But he felt something was wrong, because the fat man was quite young and had only been married for a short time, so he shouldn't have gotten married so quickly.
But then I stopped guessing. Anyway, we will know when people come over tomorrow.
"Yeah, well, let's go there tomorrow, but we set off relatively late, so we don't have to wait for us to eat at noon. We probably won't arrive until the afternoon."
Fatty was afraid that Zhang An's family would wait for them to have lunch together, so he told them in advance.
"Okay, I understand."
Fatty's arrangement is quite good, but it does miss the time when he and Chen Ze will go to press oil tomorrow morning.
With so many rapeseeds, even if you don’t have to wait for anyone, it will still take half a day.
The next day, Zhang An got up early in the morning.
Because Su Ying was on vacation and didn't have to go to class, Wang Fang didn't prepare food as early as usual.
So Zhang An had no choice but to take matters into his own hands, made something to deal with, and then went out with the rapeseed in the car.
When they arrived at the intersection of Dongliyuan, Chen Ze was nowhere to be seen, so Zhang An stopped the car and ran to their house to have a look.
When Zhang An passed by, Aunt Li was already cleaning up the housework, and Mr. Chen had also gotten up. He was wearing a loose Tang suit and doing martial arts in the yard.
The practice was Tai Chi, which was exactly what Zhang An taught Chen Ze before.
Zhang An didn't expect that although Chen Ze didn't persist, he actually let Mr. Chen learn it.
“Zhang An is here.”
Seeing Zhang An, Mr. Chen said while moving slowly.
"Grandpa Chen, has Chen Ze gotten up? I came to see him to squeeze the oil."
Zhang An greeted Mr. Chen and then asked about Chen Ze.
"I haven't gotten up yet. I'm afraid I'm still dreaming about Duke Zhou. You can just go in and call him."
Chen Ze had collected some rapeseed with him and Zhang An before leaving. The oil extraction was discussed at home, so Mr. Chen was not surprised at all. So, Zhang An opened his mouth and entered Chen Ze's room.
This man is still sleeping soundly in bed, with no intention of waking up.
“Hey, you guy, didn’t you agree yesterday that you were going to press oil with me today? Why don’t you get up yet.”
Seeing this, Zhang An wanted to play a prank, so he quietly walked to the bed and suddenly shouted loudly.
"Oh, it's only what time it is. You can go later. I feel sore in my back now. Let me sleep a little longer."
Chen Ze was woken up by Zhang An. From then on, I just looked at it a few times and closed my eyes again, just like the children in the village who needed to go to school and were woken up by their parents every morning.
"That's not possible. If you go late, you will have to queue up. We have so many rapeseeds, so we have to go early. How about I go there first, and you can come back a little later."
It would take them half a day to collect 1,500 kilograms of rapeseed without waiting for anyone. If there were a few people waiting in front, they would probably have to work until the afternoon. That’s why Zhang An got up early today. I want to go over and grab some time.
"Forget it, I'll get up."
He was really tired yesterday, and he didn't want to get up from lying down today.
But he was not a child after all. After hearing what Zhang An said, he dragged his tired body and got up from the bed.
When I was washing, my eyes that were still sleepy, after taking two handfuls of cold water, the sleepiness dissipated a little and I became much more energetic.
“Then I’ll prepare some breakfast.”
Seeing Chen Ze going out, Aunt Li quickly put on an apron and went to the kitchen.
“Don’t bother Aunt Li, we are in a hurry, we can just go to the street and deal with it later.”
Chen Ze does not dislike roadside food stalls, especially in the past two years. The breakfast stalls in Hongyan Town taste good and are much cleaner than in previous years.
When the two of them arrived at the oil press in the town, they were really lucky. There was only one person in line in front of them, and the units in the oil press were already running.
This made Zhang An very satisfied. Not only did they not have to wait too long, but they also did not have to have the oil press swallow the one or two kilograms of oil, because someone had already fed the oil press for them.
"Hey, you're here again, how much do you want to squeeze this time?"
Zhang An only came here a few days ago, and the owner of the oil shop still remembers him.
"It's not much, just over a thousand kilograms. Shall I move it in now and weigh it?"
Zhang An greeted the boss, then pointed to the car at the door and said.
“Oh, that’s not much, it’s going to be a long day of work at least.”
The owner of the oil mill immediately laughed when he saw the cart of rapeseed. Compared with the one or two hundred kilograms scattered by other villagers, this was a big business.
“Come on, boss, smoke.”
Chen Ze knew this was the owner of the oil shop, so he took out the cigarette and handed it to him.
“Thank you, brother, but there is a lot of gas in this oil shop, so I won’t smoke.”
The oil shop waved his hand and refused. Although this oil shop is not as good as a gas station, he was ordered. It will still be ignited if you put it on.
When Chen Ze heard what the owner of the oil shop said, he put away his cigarettes and stopped smoking himself.
Not long after the scale was passed, the first person to come had already finished squeezing it out, and it happened to be Zhang An's turn.
But because there were too many rapeseeds pressed here in Zhang An, the owner of the oil mill called his mother-in-law and son over to help.
"We don't know when we can go back. You go to the town to get something to eat before you come back. It's enough for me to watch here alone."
Put the rapeseed into the bucket After arriving, Zhang An told Chen Ze.
It's not too busy at the moment, and Chen Ze has no use here. He can go get something to fill his stomach before coming back.
On their way here just now, they saw that many roadside stalls had been set up and there were many people around them. Business was really good.
"Okay, what do you want to eat, I'll bring you some by the way."
Chen Ze didn't refuse, he only had to carry his big bag at the moment, and he was here too Can't stand it.
“No, I came here after eating at home, you can go alone.”
Zhang An shook his head and refused, not to mention that he had already eaten, even if it was Chen Zedai Come here, he doesn’t have time to eat either.
Subsequently, while Zhang An was pressing oil, several more people led horses and carried rapeseed over to press oil.
"You may have to wait until the afternoon to squeeze. I still have a lot to squeeze."
When the boss saw someone coming, he immediately walked up to greet him. There was something wrong with his attitude. No.
“Isn’t there only one person extracting it?”
Those who came later stretched their heads and looked around the oil mill, and found that Zhang An was the only one pressing oil.
"Well, he's the only one, but he squeezed a lot, more than a thousand kilograms. You must wait until the afternoon."
In order to show his innocence, the boss, He pointed to the rapeseed placed behind the unit and told them.
"Okay, let's put the rapeseed here after we weigh it, and come back in the afternoon."
After a few people took a look, they realized that they had indeed encountered a ruthless person today.
Because these days, everyone can squeeze only one or two hundred kilograms of oil, and there are not many people who can even squeeze three to five hundred kilograms.
Fortunately, their home is not too far away. After the rapeseed is weighed, they go home and wait until the afternoon.
The boss of the oil mill trusted me. The rapeseed has been weighed and they are not worried about it being gone. Putting it here is equivalent to lining up first.
If you take it home, when you come back, there will be people in front of you again.
The time was about the same as Zhang An estimated. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when the oil was pressed.
"Brother, are these more than a thousand kilograms of oil residue? I'm sure you can't use up all the fields in your family. Why don't you sell it to me and I'll give you an extra cent."
The owner of the oil shop looked at Zhang An With more than a thousand kilograms of oil residue, his eyes were almost glowing with gold, and he came to Zhang An again to ask.
Last time Zhang An said he wanted to take it back to the fertile fields, so he didn’t buy it.
I probably won’t take it home as fertilizer this time. Some good person would take more than a thousand kilograms of oil residue back to his house and spread it on several acres of fields.
He collects oil residue here, usually for more than 20 cents per catty, and sells it for 50 cents, or even 60 cents.
So even if you give Zhang An an extra dime, he can still make at least more than ten cents. As long as he gets these more than a thousand kilograms of oil residue, he can easily earn more than a hundred yuan.
"Brother, it's not that I don't want to sell it to you. Although my family doesn't have much land, we still have seventy or eighty acres of orchards. This one thousand kilograms is nothing at all."
Zhang An returned the oil shop owner's apologetic smile again. Although their fields didn't require so much, they could still be used for fruit trees.
Even if the fruit tree is not needed, it is better for him to take it back and sell it to the villagers than selling it to the boss. The price is not an issue, the key is to get everyone's favor.
