Chapter 170 The Waves Rise
The grass grows and the warbler flies in February, and the willows are drunk in the spring.

The children came back early from school, busy taking advantage of the east wind to release paper kites.

How could one not think of his fellow villagers when he had something good? Wang Deming specially left a copy of the Rural Doctor's Handbook to take back to his hometown in Changping, Hebei Province, and of course he also went back to celebrate the Labor Day without taking a day off.

"Mom, uncle, hurry up, we're going to miss the train!" Nephew Chang Renchun was so anxious that he kept walking around in the yard with the swallow kite he bought on Longfusi Street in his hand, stamping his feet from time to time.

The swallow kite is made by roasting split bamboo strips over fire to form a woven frame, which is then glued together with strong thick leather paper and then painted with dye to create a lifelike swallow.

In addition to swallows, the kites sold on the street also include butterflies, eagles, phoenixes, etc. They are all made slowly by experienced craftsmen, and they can fly high and far.

Yichun was holding a small spinning windmill in one hand, a few pieces of cheese in the other, and one piece in her mouth, which was melting slowly.

Yan Jiecheng, the eldest son of Yan Bugui's family next door, looked at the kite in Renchun's hand with envy; Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang stared at the cheese in Yichun's hand and swallowed their saliva continuously.

"What's the hurry?" Yan Baozhen, who was already swollen with a big belly, appeared at the door, holding his waist and slowly walked out. He raised his eyebrows at Renchun and said, "Can the train still fly?"

""

Wang Deming and Qin Huairu followed out with bags and locked the door.

At this time, three children came running from the second courtyard. He Yushui brought a silly little boy of about the same age and a little girl of about 2 or 3 years old with pigtails and a runny nose.

He Yushui ran to Yan Baozhen and looked up and asked, "Aunt, are you going back to the countryside? How long will you be gone?"

Yan Baozhen gently stroked He Yushui's hair and said, "I'll be gone for three days and will be back soon."

He waved his hand back and Wang Deming understood and handed over the bag of Fengshenggong cheese.

Yan Baozhen took a handful of dried cheese from the bag and gave it to He Yushui, saying softly, "Help aunt to share it."

"Well, thank you, auntie."

Yang Ruihua, the wife of Yan Bugui from the opposite side, came out holding the infant Yan Jiedi and greeted her warmly: "Baozhen, are you going back home?"

"Yes, it just so happens that De Ming is on vacation recently." Yan Baozhen could only grab another handful of cheese from the bag and shouted, "Liberation."

Yan Jiefang rushed forward with his eyes shining and his fluffy head on top. Yan Jiekuang followed closely behind him, "Here."

Yan Baozhen frowned slightly as she looked at the two brothers' muddy hands, but still put the cheese into their hands.

"See you later, inside."

Yang Ruihua smiled even more and said, "See you later." As soon as Yan Baozhen passed the Chuihua Gate, Yang Ruihua immediately called his two sons over. He confiscated all the cheese except the one he had already eaten, and angrily scolded them, "Why are you such a spendthrift?"

"The few pieces you three brothers ate would be enough for our family to have several meals if we wash them down with boiling water!"

"Oh, the rain."

He Yushui pretended not to hear anything and quickly ran back to the central courtyard with the two followers behind him.

"This little girl, Baozhen just told you to distribute it to all the children." Yang Ruihua muttered a few words and went back to the house.

As usual, I took the train from Zhengyangmen East Station to Changping, and then took a donkey cart back to Wayao Village.

The season has passed the Grain Rain, and the land along the way is lush and green, with everything growing. In the farmland on both sides of the dirt road, farmers wearing straw hats and gray-black long-sleeved coarse cloth jackets are carefully removing weeds.

The closer you get to Wayao Village, the more different it feels. In addition to Wang Deming's house, there are several more brick and tile houses with blue bricks and blue tiles. Even the previous adobe houses have been repaired, as if they were patched with a different color. There are no weeds on either side of the road, and the entire village is clean and tidy.

Near noon, smoke rises from the chimneys of every household.
Greeting everyone along the way, the coachman stopped in front of the house. The coachman looked at the three bright big tiled houses with envy and said, "Your villages are so good! They are famous wealthy villages in Changping, and many girls want to marry here." "Haha, it's all because of the Party's policies!" Wang Deming replied with a smile. He and Qin Huairu helped Yan Baozhen get off the car, paid the coachman 3 cents, and continued to carry the bags.

Renchun and Yichun had already run into the fenced yard, shouting, "Grandma, we're back!"

Wang Shuqin, the godmother who was cooking in the main room, heard the bells on the donkey cart early in the morning and came out to greet them. She held the two children, one on each side, and kissed them again and again, "Oh, my dear grandchildren."

"Woof woof" the big yellow dog in the yard wagged its tail quickly. It came forward and sniffed left and right, making the two children laugh "ga ga" with pleasure.

"mom."

"Hey, you're all back." He stretched his neck to look back, then withdrew his gaze from Yan Baozhen and Qin Huairu's bellies, and saw the large and small bags on Wang Deming's body, complaining, "Why do you bring so many things every time you come back?"

“There is nothing missing at home!”

The crow's feet at the corners of Wang Shuqin's eyes swam happily, and the smile on her mouth made her unable to close her mouth. "Hurry up and go into the house to rest. Deming will help me light the fire."

"We're having pancakes for lunch today."

Qin Huairu would never let Wang Deming light the fire. She sent Yan Baozhen into the house, pushed Wang Shuqin into the house to chat, and then quickly put on her sleeves and apron and started making pancakes.

The Chinese cabbages, green onions and lettuces in the yard are growing well and there are no pesticides on them, so they can be washed simply with well water. The pork from the oven that was brought back is cut, and the leeks and eggs are spread out, and a hearty lunch is served on the table.

After lunch, the two children ran out of the house to find their friends in the village. Yan Baozhen felt sleepy and went to the east room to sleep leaning against the quilt.

Wang Deming was drinking tea and chatting with his godmother Wang Shuqin in the main room, while Qin Huairu was sitting obediently beside them.

"Deming, the county came to inspect us before, saying that they would use our township as a pilot and upgrade the mutual aid group in the village to a primary agricultural production cooperative. The land allocated to our family was converted into shares, and the livestock and large farm tools were discounted. Later, everyone worked together. At the time of the autumn harvest, the public grain was paid, and after deducting the production fee, provident fund, public welfare fund and management fee, the remaining money after the land dividend was distributed to the members according to their work."

Commune was launched so soon? Wang Deming subconsciously looked up at the blue calendar on the wall, which read May 52, 5, and asked, "Oh, what about the sideline business?"

"Of course they will. The government will continue to support the chickens, ducks, geese and fruit trees raised in our yards. Otherwise, how can we buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, needles and thread?" Wang Shuqin was a little puzzled. "Besides, our village is most famous for raising chickens and ducks."

"Mom, this is a good thing for our family. After all, you are the only one in the countryside now, and we can't farm without help."

Wang Shuqin smiled brightly, "Isn't this party's policy good?"

Of course it is! What a great policy! In a few decades, the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme will be able to reimburse medical expenses for only a few hundred yuan a month.

Uncle Yan used a towel whose original color could not be seen to shake off the dust on his body and walked into the yard with a loud voice: "Deming, are you back?"

"Last time you sent a telegram saying you wanted to bring back a precious book. What book was it?"

Qin Huairu poured tea swiftly after they entered the main hall. Wang Deming took out a red-covered Rural Doctor's Handbook from his bag and handed it to Uncle Yan, proudly introducing it as follows: "This is a book compiled by our Chinese Medicine Association. It contains carefully selected prescriptions. If you have a headache or fever in the future, you can pick herbs from the book and take them yourself."

"Oh, that's good!" Uncle Yan didn't drink the tea. He wiped his hands on his clothes twice, carefully took the book and opened it:

Uncle Yan stood up with his eyes wide open: "Deming, I'll go to the village to broadcast the news right away!"

"Starting tonight, everyone must listen! Learn!"

After saying that, he left Wang Deming's house without even drinking any tea.

　If conditions permit, you can really read the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" and then buy some medicine from Hu Qing Yu Tang or Tong Ren Tang. If you feel unwell, take some Chinese medicine according to the instructions. It's pretty good.
