Chapter 621: People's joys and sorrows are different, and they cannot empathize

"We will give you mother and daughter one hundred yuan, this is Comrade Han Bin's pension..."

"Hasn't it already been given? We don't want it, we have money..." Sister Yang shook her head stubbornly.

"Comrade Yang Xiulan, this is the heart of our farm headquarters. It is our dereliction of duty, we didn't send anyone back to Han Bin's hometown to understand the situation, we just sent the money and belongings back, what was given was given to her mother, this one hundred yuan is for you mother and daughter.

You also have to consider Han Fang, after all, Han Fang still has to go to school... In addition, please leave an address, we will send ten yuan to Han Fang every month as child support."

"Then the hometown side..." Yang Xiulan asked.

"After all, Han Bin's mother is still there, we will still send money, but it will also become ten yuan, until Han Bin's mother... passes away."

There is a pension policy for martyrs, and of course, it must be combined with the actual situation of the unit.

Yang Xiulan didn't refuse again. She could set up a stall every day, but it wasn't stable, and it was inevitable that she would have a headache or fever, and Han Fang would definitely have to go to school. If she stayed on the farm, of course, it would be fine, but she didn't want to stay on the farm.

It wasn't just because she felt this place wasn't as good as Maxian, but also because she had heard about the policies of the Corps side when she was setting up a stall in Maxian, and Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia had also chatted about it at the dinner table.

She felt that the policy of the Corps wasn't very good for a period of time.

Better go back to Maxian. But her income there wasn't fixed, and she still had to consider Han Fang.

Her husband was gone, and she was left with only her daughter. She wouldn't think about her hometown, now she was just thinking about her daughter.

"Also, these grains and oils are our heart, it's almost New Year, just treat it as... New Year's welfare." Section Chief Xu said, "We don't have any specialties in our unit, we have some self-brewed wine, I'll take some for you."

Someone came over and put these grains and oils into the trunk of the car. Li Long didn't stop them either. The things were for Sister Yang and her daughter, and since Sister Yang didn't speak, he accepted them.

Section Chief Xu finished speaking, Li Long let Sister Yang and her daughter get into the car, he shook hands with Section Chief Xu and the others, and drove away.

On the road, Li Long was thinking that no matter what, Red Flag Farm did these things quite well. They didn't ignore Sister Yang and her daughter just because they had already issued the pension, and they even took the responsibility upon themselves.

According to normal logic, it would be quite good for Sister Yang to stay here.

Of course, people have their own aspirations.

All the way back, Sister Yang and Han Fang didn't speak, and Li Long didn't know what to say either.

When the car drove to Wucheng and they ate lunch, Sister Yang finally spoke:

"Uncle Li, this trip troubled you."

"Sister Yang, why are you being polite? You helped us so much, and we didn't say anything."

Li Long planned to treat Sister Yang's family as relatives in the future. At first, he saved people because they looked pitiful, but later, as they interacted more, the relationship between the two sides became closer. Now that Sister Yang had lost her man, the support in her heart was gone, and her spirit definitely wasn't as good as before.

He and Gu Xiaoxia still had to pay more attention to comforting her.

The joys and sorrows of the world are not connected, and people cannot truly empathize.

Li Long knew Sister Yang was very sad, and when she was sad, she was still forcing herself to hold up her spirit, she knew she couldn't fall, if she fell, there would be no one to take care of Han Fang.

He knew all these, but he really couldn't feel it deeply. Li Long knew this was because he had no intersection with Han Bin, they hadn't even met, so it was impossible to be truly sad for a stranger.

It was just that Sister Yang was pitiful. Life had just gotten better, and suddenly there was good news, who would have expected this news to be followed by bad news?

Sister Yang only said this one sentence and didn't speak anymore. She stared fixedly out the window, her gaze a bit dull. Li Long didn't know if she was thinking about the days she spent with her husband, or thinking about how to live in the future.

Li Long knew he had to get Sister Yang's household registration handled as soon as possible. To tell you the truth, Sister Yang decided to go back to Maxian, Li Long knew that part of this should be out of trust in him and Gu Xiaoxia.

Then, did he have the responsibility to solve this household registration problem?

Fortunately, at this time, it was still a time of wild growth moving toward order. If he really wanted to handle household registration, there were still some rules that could be utilized.

Brother-in-law Chen Xingbang was able to be valued by the food factory because he had skills, and now he became a city dweller, had household registration, ate commodity grain, and even brought his sister Li Xia to have Shicheng household registration.

Then this showed that as long as there were specialties, or some special circumstances, they could get this household registration.

Right, Li Long's eyes lit up: that small courtyard!

Then he dismissed this idea.

At this time, although the courtyard allowed buying and selling and had a property certificate, it didn't allow bringing household registration.

At this time, commodity grain household registration was still very precious. Li Long vaguely remembered that when the county opened up the purchase and sale of agricultural-to-non-agricultural household registration, it had already entered the nineties, and at that time, household registration wasn't cheap, ranging from four thousand to six thousand, about the same price as installing a telephone line and opening a program-controlled telephone at that time.

And at that time, agricultural-to-non-agricultural household registration no longer had a grain book, and there was no planned grain and oil. He vaguely remembered that the Chinese medicine doctor in the team's health center spent six thousand yuan to buy a city household registration, and later often complained that he didn't eat a single bit of commodity grain, and finally wanted to transfer back to the countryside, but had to spend money.

Then find someone he knew to see if it could be handled.

The three had their own worries, and drove back to Maxian from Wucheng without a word.

"Uncle Li, just drive back to the courtyard south of the road." Sister Yang spoke again, "We won't go back to the big courtyard. Her aunt is pregnant, we are not suitable to see her now. Wait... wait until after the New Year."

"Fine." Li Long knew Sister Yang was quite firm, once she decided, she wouldn't change, so he nodded and said: "Then I'll send you to the courtyard south."

The jeep drove to the gate of the courtyard, Han Fang got out of the car, holding the key in her hand, and went to open the gate first.

The courtyard wasn't big, but the jeep could still drive in. Li Long backed the jeep in, and people nearby opened the door to see the situation—after all, the jeep's sound was a bit loud.

Seeing the jeep, the people opposite and diagonally opposite were a bit surprised, after all, in this day and age, those who could drive a jeep weren't ordinary people.

Then seeing Sister Yang wearing black cloth on her arm, the opposite side immediately closed the door.

Li Long vaguely heard someone over there say "unlucky."

He didn't care about these, and after Han Fang opened the room door, Li Long moved those things out of the jeep's trunk and put them over.

Two bags of rice and two bags of flour sent by the farm. Two plastic jugs of oil, about ten kilograms or so. After unloading these things, Li Long also unloaded the fish and meat he brought this time.

With these things, Sister Yang and Han Fang could live for a period of time. There were also some winter vegetables stored here, and it was closer to the market than the big courtyard, so if they wanted to eat, it should be easy to buy.

Seeing Li Long still wanted to lift the two plastic cages of wine down, Sister Yang stopped him and said:

"Uncle Li, we won't take this wine, you take it back, it can still be used for soaking things."

Li Long didn't refuse, closed the trunk door, and said:

"Sister Yang, then you rest, I'll go back first. If there's anything, come find me."

"Good."

Sister Yang's expression was a bit wooden, wanting to smile, but that expression looked like she was crying.

Li Long couldn't smile either, nodded, walked to the car door, touched Han Fang's head by the way, left a sentence "Take care of your mom, I'll close the courtyard gate after I go out," and got into the jeep.

Driving the jeep out slowly, when turning to the Wuyi Highway, Li Long felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

Was he a bit like a deserter? In that kind of oppressive feeling, he really couldn't stay.

Cannot empathize.

Go home first. This kind of thing, can only be walked out by Sister Yang herself, others can't help.

Li Long drove the jeep home, and Han Fang here, after hearing Li Long's words, obviously felt a kind of responsibility.

She supported Sister Yang into the house, and then started setting up the stove.

Sister Yang looked at the busy Han Fang, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, then wanted to get up and work together, but felt her body was very heavy.

"Mom, you lie on the bed for a while, I see you didn't sleep well last night, just rest for a while." Han Fang lit the stove, supported Yang Xiulan to lie on the bed, "I'm watching."

"Then... I'll lie for a while." Yang Xiulan said weakly, and slowly closed her eyes.

In front of Li Long, in front of Section Chief Xu, she was holding on, but now, she didn't want to hold on.

Really tired, very exhausted.

Maybe she would be fine after a sleep?

Han Fang's sadness for her father's passing wasn't that strong. She was just thinking about Li Long's words, take good care of her mother.

Seeing her mother lying on the bed, she went over to cover her with a quilt, and then started burning water.

Although she didn't know how to cook much, she knew the necessary things.

Burning water, setting up the kitchen stove, cooking porridge.

She didn't know how to make other meals, but she knew how to cook rice porridge.

There were pickles in the kitchen, Han Fang scooped some out. She remembered her mother saying that when scooping pickles, use clean chopsticks, and wash your hands clean.

Scooped out, thought for a while, and used a knife to chop a piece of meat—could only chop, it was frozen hard.

No steamed buns, Han Fang didn't know how to steam buns, but she knew how to stick unleavened cakes, and there were a few kilograms of sesame cakes left by Li Long, enough.

Yang Xiulan slept for more than an hour, and when she was called up by Han Fang, she felt her body was much lighter, and her underwear was wet.

Sweated. After sweating, she felt not so exhausted.

After she got up, changed clothes, and then went to the kitchen side.

Looking at the rice porridge, unleavened cakes, and the stir-fried pickles with meat that were cut in a mess but tasted fine on the dining table, Yang Xiulan's eyes were wet again.

"Mom, eat." Han Fang was quite proud of her masterpiece, hoping her mother would praise her.

"Good, let me taste your craft." Yang Xiulan touched Han Fang's head, sat down, picked up chopsticks, and picked up a pickle.

Too salty.

Thinking about it, when Xiao Fang stir-fried the pickles, she must have put in another handful of salt, right?

But Yang Xiulan still ate it, smiled and said: "Quite delicious."

Han Fang smiled.

When Li Long drove the jeep back to the big courtyard, there was no one in the courtyard.

Gu Xiaoxia hadn't gotten off work yet, Li Long settled the jeep and went into the house.

The stove in the house hadn't gone out, he added coal to it, then went to the kitchen to set up the stove, and finally went to look at the glass room side.

Reading the original text!

The temperature over there was a bit low, Li Long went to set up the stove, and after the stove was up, he watered the vegetables again.

Although quite tired, he didn't want to sleep.

Thinking about it, there was really one thing he hadn't done.

The two deer placentas given by Old Old Old Luo Shu were still frozen.

He went to the corner of the wall to find a tile, cleaned the ice and snow stuck on it, then took it to the kitchen and washed it repeatedly several times, before taking it to the glass room in the back.

To process it, he had to take it far away, it was said that this thing was quite fishy, and now Gu Xiaoxia was in the pregnancy reaction period, he didn't want to induce a serious one because of this.

The processing of deer placenta was relatively simple, use a non-gold container, roast the placenta dry, grind it into powder, and then take it in portions.

Of course, it could also be washed clean, and then stewed into soup, but no seasoning could be added, it was estimated to be very hard to eat.

Li Long decided to make it into powder, which was easier to take.

At this time, there were no special roasting utensils, so just use a tile. Anyway, he often saw ancient people use this thing in novels.

Put the tile on the glass room stove to roast first, then Li Long went to take a placenta, first get a big basin and clean it.

This thing was directly frozen after Old Old Old Luo Shu picked it up, and there were quite a few grass stalks stuck on it, as well as some other impurities.

The weight wasn't heavy, about one kilogram or so, Li Long soaked this in warm water, wash first.

After slowly melting, Li Long determined that this thing had to be cut open, otherwise, firstly, the tile couldn't hold it, and secondly, when roasting, the heat would be uneven, wouldn't it be scorched?

When roasting, don't use gold, but cutting doesn't need to be so strict, right?

At this time, there were no ceramic knives, he thought about it, still didn't use a knife, and forcefully tore the placenta into five pieces of about the same size with his hands.

Cleaned, separated, put in an enamel basin, and took it to the plastic room.

The tile was already very hot, put a piece of placenta on it, and smelled a strange smell.

Too hot, no. Li Long knew he was wrong, he took the placenta off and put it into the basin, then took the tile off.

Wait until the fierce fire in the stove burned out, and only red charcoal fire remained, then roast it.

Look at the time, have to go make dinner.

This busy day.

Fortunately, when doing things, Li Long wouldn't think about so many things. When the sun set, Li Long finished making dinner, and Gu Xiaoxia and Gu Bo Yuan also came back together.

Seeing Li Long was there, Gu Xiaoxia looked around and asked:

"Where is Sister Yang? Where is Xiao Fang?"

"Went to the courtyard south. She said that encountering this matter, they have to keep vigil for a few days over there, and you have a child, it's not suitable for them to come over now."

"That's right." Gu Bo Yuan nodded, "Are there things over there?"

"There are, rice, flour, oil, the farm side brought them, I also put down the fish and meat."

"Then fine, let them be quiet, rest and rest." Gu Bo Yuan said, "We can't help with this matter, it's better for them to stay alone."

Gu Xiaoxia, although a bit worried, also knew that she really couldn't help.

After eating, Gu Bo Yuan didn't stay here, and went back to his own courtyard.

He said he had to pack up, it was almost New Year, and he had to prepare to go back to the team.

After Gu Bo Yuan left, Li Long cleaned up the kitchen and the glass room in the back, the placenta could only be processed tomorrow.

Returning to the bedroom, Gu Xiaoxia had already turned on the TV, and when Li Long entered, she asked:

"What exactly happened?"

Li Long told the story.

"Xiao Fang's grandmother is really..." Gu Xiaoxia was quite angry when she heard this, "How could she be like this? People have already sacrificed themselves, and she actually hid it from Sister Yang and the others..."

Human nature is selfish, this is just one side. In later generations, there were many things more excessive than this, Li Long had seen and heard too much in his previous life, so he wasn't surprised.

At this time, there were many people who wanted face, and some things would be covered up even if they happened, there were not so many information sharing channels, and everyone was still quite simple.

That was why they would be deeply disgusted by such selfish behavior.

Discussing this matter didn't take long, and neither of them wanted to talk much, so they washed and slept.

The next day Li Long got up early, but he didn't expect Gu Xiaoxia to get up even earlier, and was already busy in the kitchen.

The couple was very tacit, Li Long set up the stove in the house to burn water, went to set up the stove in the glass room, and then went to the kitchen to help Gu Xiaoxia.

The two worked together to make breakfast, and after eating, Li Long drove the jeep to send Gu Xiaoxia to her unit—mainly because both of them got up a bit late, and weren't used to it yet.

After Li Long returned, he started processing the deer placenta.

Learning from yesterday's lesson, after the stove fire turned into red charcoal fire, Li Long put on the tile, then put the deer placenta on it, and started roasting it dry.

The smell was a bit strange, Li Long stayed away.

Originally, he wanted to copy the notebook given by Liang Donglou while watching the fire, but thought about it and gave up.

That thing was too precious, better not copy it here, being distracted wasn't good.

Five placentas, roasting one dry took more than an hour.

Just roasting dry wasn't enough, it had to be roasted until charred and crispy, so it would be easy to grind into powder.

Li Long was very patient, while watching the fire, he went to look at those vegetables.

Lunch also had to be prepared, at this time he still had to be distracted thinking about preparing lunch.

Fortunately, it was winter, if it were summer, he really wouldn't necessarily have time to do so many things.

Lunch... ate noodles for two meals, make rice for lunch, stew a fish, stir-fry a dish, and that was about it.

The small crucian carp that had been cleaned were all frozen, Li Long first used warm water to melt them, until they were completely melted, then cleaned them again, and dried the water, so the taste would be better when cooking.

Of course, if he could stew it with a crab, the taste would be even better.

Sure enough, only delicious food could dispel the sadness in the bottom of his heart.

Li Long prepared while watching the fire, and when Gu Xiaoxia got off work at noon, Li Long had already finished making the meal.

Two pieces of deer placenta were also roasted dry, he felt he could process one deer placenta today.

Li Long planned to process the deer placenta and tiger bones before returning to the Fourth Team before the New Year, and then grab medicine to soak in wine.

Because after the New Year, he had to prepare for the tractor matter.

Of course, this was an ideal state, no one was sure if there would be any changes. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 622 =====

Because preparations for the tractor matter have to be made after the New Year.

Of course, this is an ideal state; no one is sure if there will be any changes. (End of chapter)
