Chapter 70, Hammer

Before setting off back to Wenchangwei, Nanyi received a telegram with two words on it - call back.

After dialing the phone with difficulty, Xian Yaodong's voice came from the other side: "Ke Hongxing's parents are here and they want to see you."

"Are you still in the brigade?"

"No, I went to stay in a guest house in the city."

"What are their names?"

"Ke Hongxing's father's name is Ke Jianzhen and his mother's name is Sun Muxi. He looks like he has a special smell."

"What does it smell like?"

"In the past, when you looked at the smell of a young master or a young lady from a wealthy family, you could tell that you had read books by saints and sages."

"Nonsense, haven't you seen Ke Hongxing's file?" Nan Yi spat, and then said, "Be right back."

Nan Yi had vaguely felt that there was a connection between Ke Jianzhen and Ke Hongxing before. They both had the surname Ke and were both from Shanghai. Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

When Nan Yi returned to Wenchangwei, he met Ke Jianzhen and Sun Muxi and fell in love with them.

The style of the two people was so upright. Nan Yi saw the profound thoughts and independent thinking, and the proud and upright spirit of the serious scholars of the Republic of China came to his face.

"Mr. Nan, thank you for taking care of my little girl's funeral. I am very grateful." Ke Jianzhen bent down and bowed to Nan Yi with a seventy-five-degree bow.

Nan Yi did not offer any false support. He could bear this bow and must continue it. Otherwise, Ke Jianzhen would not be able to bear it.

After Ke Jianzhen finished the ceremony, Nan Yicai said: "Mr. Ke, please call me Comrade Nan directly, or call me by his first name. I can't bear to call you sir. Although Ke Liya and I have not known each other for a long time, we have

As an acquaintance, I should lend a hand in her affairs.

You two sit here for a while, and I'll get some tea. I'm usually in the capital, and there's no one here. It would be rude to boil water temporarily."

"No need to bother, Mu Xi and I are not thirsty."

"Whether you are thirsty or not, you must drink something. Otherwise, I am neglecting you, which is contrary to the way of hospitality. Wait a moment."

Nan Yi said and walked to the kitchen.

First, he poured a little water into the pot, boiled the water, rinsed the pot, and then added half of the pot of water. When the water boiled, Nan Yi poured a little into the thermos, shook it, rinsed it, and repeated it twice.

This time, I filled the thermos bottle.

Holding a thermos in one hand and the handles of three tea cups in the other, he walked to the Eight Immortals table, put down the tea cups and thermos, and took out a can of tea from the shelf in a corner.

Add the tea leaves, pour out the first brew, wait for the second brew, and then put the tea cup next to Ke Jianzhen and Sun Muxi.

"Please give me tea, Fenghuang Dancong. It shouldn't be brewed like this. The conditions in this humble house are poor. Please bear with me."

Ke Jianzhen picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put the teacup down again, "Good tea! I haven't had such good tea in many years."

"That's good. I'm just Dong Shi. I'm arty, but I don't actually understand tea."

"Comrade Nan is self-effacing. You can tell a person by looking at a house. You have taken care of this house in an orderly manner, making it dignified without losing vitality."

"That's ridiculous."

After that, the three of them didn't talk about any substantive topics. After staying in the bullpen for too long, both Ke Jianzhen and Ke Jianzhen became a little numb.

After chatting politely for nearly an hour, Ke Jianzhen and the others said goodbye and left.

Nan Yi didn't try to persuade him to stay, let alone talk about the antiques. It's not the time to talk about this yet, but to talk about it now is a bit suspicious of repaying a favor.

Moreover, it also seems that he does not pay enough attention to others.

After the new year, Nan Yi planned to bring some snacks and visit the Ke family to make enough gifts.

After the two left, Nanyi went to find Ge Cuizhu, registered with her, and asked the tractor of the reclamation brigade to help him pull two trucks of yellow mud.

When the reclamation brigade's tractor is not needed for plowing or hauling goods, anyone in the brigade who wants to use it can come and borrow it. All you need to do is register it with Ge Cuizhu and pay the diesel fee.

Nan Yi did not go to the tractor driver, but went to the warehouse built by the Reclamation Brigade in the fields. He found a very domineering Z-shaped car key under the driver's seat.

Click, click, click, fidget with the steering wheel a few times, shift the gear lever to neutral, and move the accelerator handle to the starting position.

Walk to the front of the car, insert the car key into the key hole [crankshaft], press the decompression handle with your left hand, hold the key handle with your right hand and start to turn the key, slowly increase the speed of rotation, and quickly relax the decompression handle with your left hand as the speed increases.

Keep turning the key until there is a buzzing sound.

Nanyi pulled the key out of the keyhole, checked whether the oil pressure indicator valve was raised, listened to the sound of the diesel engine for a while, and then checked whether the smoke exhaust was normal.

Everything was normal. Nanyi stood beside the tractor to smoke, let the diesel engine run for a while, and waited for the water temperature to rise to 40-60 degrees.

After smoking a cigarette, the water temperature is almost the same.

Nan Yi sat in the driver's seat, without holding the steering handle, and fiddled with the steering wheel [handrail] left and right until it could no longer move, then he pulled the gear lever to shift it to first gear, and pulled the clutch until it was in the closed position.

The tractor rolled forward suddenly.

First he drove to the arsenal, took out his gun and a magazine, hung the gun around his neck, and then drove the tractor towards the barbed wire fence.

There is a small soil slope next to the barbed wire fence. This soil slope is made of yellow mud. Nanyi comes here to pull the yellow mud.

The tractor shuddered and jerked, and if it weren't for holding the handrail, people might be flying.

The shock absorbing function of a walking tractor is almost zero. If you happen to be holding in your urine, the urine will shake out for you.

With a creak, the tractor stopped next to the slope. Nan Yi got off the car. He wanted to go up to a higher place and see if there were any people fleeing nearby. Who knew that a border guard was coming this way.

"Nanyi."

"Weizong, is it your turn to patrol today?"

Chen Weizong came from the Chen family in Guiyu, the largest surname in Guangdong Province, in Jieshi Town under Luyi.

"Yeah, it's my turn. If you come here to transport anything, please bring the tractor." Chen Weizong walked up to Nan Yi, patted the tractor's bucket and asked.

"I'm here to transport yellow mud, and I plan to make a patch of ground at the entrance of the yard where I can put a drying mat to dry things."

"Would you like some help?"

"No, you're still on duty. If you have another day off, come to my place to play and I'll get you something delicious."

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I'll continue patrolling."

"good."

Looking at Chen Weizong's back, he muttered, "Da Zong Weihan, he has such long hair." What on earth did Chen Weizong's father call Chen Zong?

Holding a shovel, he stood on the slope and dug for a while, then lifted the excavated yellow mud into the bucket of the truck.

Tu tu tu tu, transport one cart back, and then dig out another cart.

Deng Deng Deng, carrying the dung basket, went to the school construction site to prepare some slaked lime and a little sand; click, click, ran to the kitchen and put a third of the pot of glutinous rice in the iron pot, cooking and stirring at the same time.

Finally make a pot of glutinous rice paste.

After getting everything ready, Nan Yi went to the pile of yellow mud and transformed into a chef, adding slaked lime for the head, sand for the head and glutinous rice for the head.

Use a wide hoe to stir the yellow mud first, then slice it into pieces, stir it again, and slice it again. Repeat this several times until it is evenly mixed.
