I wasted a lot of time catching the thief, so I didn't do much in the afternoon.
But we still had to eat dinner. Lin Mei cooked the meal early, and then went to the clinic to ask someone to come back for dinner.
"Tie Zhu, let's not go to dinner. It's too much trouble..."
"Yes, we are all family members. Don't be too polite. We will have food to eat when we go back. We will come back tomorrow morning..."
Liu Quanyou and Zhang Lei said.
"How can this be done? Don't let anyone leave. If anyone leaves, don't come back tomorrow. I've been doing this for so long and don't want to eat. How can you make me feel embarrassed? Hurry up, don't talk nonsense and come home with me..."
Zhang Tiezhu stretched out his hand to stop these two guys and refused to let them go.
"Yes, that's right, no one can leave..." Liu Shitou walked over, pulled Liu Quanyou and Zhang Lei and walked towards Lin Mei's house.
Fortunately for Zhang Lei, he was a wine lover and agreed to go after just a few polite words. However, Liu Quanyou was still polite and refused to go to dinner, and was finally dragged over by Liu Shitou.
There was no good food in the mountains, so in order to entertain everyone, Lin Mei killed the old hen, cooked half of it, and kept the other half for lunch tomorrow.
"Wow, old hen stewed with bamboo shoots, it's so fragrant..." Liu Shitou sniffed as soon as he walked into the room. This guy is very good at eating. He can tell what kind of food it is by smelling it.
At this time, there were four dishes on the table, an old hen stewed with bamboo shoots, a large bowl of fried green beans, a large bowl of cabbage, and a mountain specialty, wild mushroom and egg drop soup.
"Wash your hands..." At this time, Lin Mei brought out a large basin of water and placed it at the door.
Several people laughed and washed their hands, then walked in and sat down. Just now they were polite and wanted to go home for dinner, but now they smelled the aroma of the food and their appetites were whetted.
"Brothers, let's drink first and have a good time tonight..." At this time, Zhang Tiezhu walked into the room and came out with a can of sweet potato wine.
Seeing the wine, Zhang Lei immediately took it and poured wine for several men.
The atmosphere in the room immediately became very lively, and the man's voice became louder and louder.
Since the death of the master, the house has not been so lively for a long time. Lin Mei and Li Yunmei were sitting with rice bowls, eating, and chatting in low voices.
"Mei Yun, is your mother feeling better?"
"Yeah, it's much better. I can now move around with a stick..."
"That's good. Let Tiezhu treat her in a few days and she should be better..." Lin Mei said.
"Sister Lin Mei, Brother Tiezhu's medical skills are so amazing. Did your father teach them? Why have I never seen Dr. Lin use this kind of medical skills before..."
"Um..." Lin Mei was a little embarrassed. To be honest, she didn't know. She had never heard her father talk about this kind of medical skill before. Of course, she knew about using Chinese herbal medicine to bathe, but it didn't have such a miraculous therapeutic effect.
"Maybe, maybe he learned it by reading medical books..." Lin Mei said with a slightly red face.
"Brother Tiezhu is really amazing. He can learn such powerful medical skills even by self-study..."
Li Yunmei admired Zhang Tiezhu even more. She didn't expect that guy to be so smart and self-taught.
Just when the house was bustling with activity, the village chief came over with his wife, but stopped again outside the courtyard gate.
"Here, there are so many people in his room, wait a moment before we go in..." Zhang Shubao was really embarrassed to go in now.
"Then either go to the other two people's homes first and give them the 20,000 yuan..." Chen Cuiju said in a low voice.
Now that the matter has reached this point, there is no other way to solve it, so the money that should be spent must be spent. Zhang Shubao and Chen Cuiju, who have always regarded wealth as their lives, also figured it out. After all, things that can be solved with money are best.
Forget it with money, going to jail is not fun.
Especially today, hearing the sound of the police car almost scared the two of them out of fear. Only they could understand that feeling.
"Okay, let's go give the money first. According to what Zhang Tiezhu said, it's the hardship subsidy from the superiors..." Zhang Shubao quickly reminded Chen Cuiju, for fear that this woman would spill the beans and everyone would know his secret.
The two of them took advantage of the darkness and first went to Zhang Yaofa's home.
Seeing 10,000 yuan, Zhang Yaofa thought he was dreaming. When did Zhang Shubao, an old boy, be so kind? He actually personally delivered the 10,000 yuan subsidy to his home without paying a penny.
So rare.
"Mr. Zhang, in fact, I have always seen your difficulties. Last time, your subsistence allowance was canceled due to special reasons. I have always kept this matter in mind, so I applied to the superiors again and again and explained it to the leaders above.
After noticing your difficulties, the superiors immediately agreed, providing a one-time subsidy of 10,000 yuan and restoring your subsistence allowance..."
"This, this is true..."
Zhang Yaofa picked up the stack of money and looked at it repeatedly.
"Don't worry, old man. It's guaranteed to be real money. As long as you have a piece of fake money, you can come to me..."
Zhang Shubao patted his chest and promised that it was not like he was telling lies.
At this time, Zhang Shubao took out a piece of paper, which said that he had received a subsidy of 10,000 yuan, and asked Zhang Yaofa to put his fingerprint.
Walking out of Zhang Yaofa's house, Zhang Shubao suddenly felt much more relaxed. Just now he was really worried that Zhang Yaofa wouldn't accept his money, and he would not be able to explain to Zhang Tiezhu then.
After eating, everyone dispersed.
Zhang Tiezhu sat soaking his feet and lowered his head to check the red seal on the soles of his feet. Lin Mei was clearing away the dishes in the kitchen.
"Tie Zhu, um, I've always wanted to ask, what's going on with your medical skills? Why did you suddenly improve?"
In the past, although Tie Zhu's medical skills were a little better than hers, her senior sister, it was impossible for her to be so good that she couldn't understand.
Zhang Tiezhu raised his head and looked fascinated at the senior sister's perfect figure from behind. Then he wiped his feet and stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Senior sister, medical matters are very simple, just think about it by yourself..." Zhang Tiezhu stood next to Lin Mei and whispered.
"Nonsense..."
Lin Mei looked back at Zhang Tiezhu with a red face. This guy was so close to her today and almost touched him.
"Really, I didn't lie to you. I learned how to give Aunt Yuqin a bath last time in my dream..."
"You must be drunk, you are really talking nonsense again..."
Lin Mei wanted to hit him, but stretched out her hand and stopped.
This junior brother has been doing nothing since he was a child. He was often beaten by his master when he was a child, but he seems to have changed a lot recently. I originally thought that the junior brother has grown up and become more sensible, but I didn't expect that he drank some wine and joked around again tonight.
"Senior sister, why did I lie to you? It's true..."
Zhang Tiezhu boldly grabbed Lin Mei's little snow-white hand raised in the air, holding it in his hand and reluctant to let go.
Lin Mei suddenly panicked and wanted to break free from his hand, but Zhang Tiezhu not only did not let go, but also pulled Lin Mei towards him.
