Second grade of junior high school.
After breakfast.
"Master Li, please come and pick me up again." Zhou Bingkun spoke and gave Master Li a box of cigarettes from the Phoenix brand. Qi Peng knew that Zhou Bingkun was going to his mother-in-law's house today, so he arranged for a car to come. It is more convenient to have a car. After all, Zheng Juan is pregnant and Zhou Jiaping is still young.
"No trouble. Doctor Zhou, when will you go back? I will pick you up later." Master Li asked. He took the cigarette without courtesy.
"Master Li, come here around three o'clock in the afternoon." Zhou Bingkun thought for a while and said.
"Okay, Doctor Zhou, we will also use the car at Qiju today. Otherwise, I will wait for you here." Master Li said with a smile.
...
Get off the car and say goodbye to Master Li.
Zhou Bingkun and his family walked into the alley.
From a distance, I could see Zheng Guangming wandering back and forth outside. He was waiting for Zheng Juan and the others to come.
"Brother Bingkun, sister, Jiaping, you are here!" Zheng Guangming hurried over.
"Guangming, what are you doing waiting outside? It's not cold." Zhou Bingkun shouted.
"It's not cold." Zheng Guangming smiled. He hurriedly took the things from Zhou Bingkun's hands.
"Guangming, why don't you wear the new shoes I bought for you?" Zheng Juan asked.
"I forgot." Zheng Guangming said embarrassedly. He couldn't bear to wear it.
"Guangming, you are still growing taller. If you don't wear them now, you won't be able to wear the new shoes after a while." Zheng Juan also knew that Zheng Guangming was reluctant to wear new shoes.
"Then I'll put them on later." Zheng Guangming looked at the old shoes on his feet.
door.
Zheng Xiu looked at Zhou Bingkun and the others with a smile.
"Mom, come in quickly, it's cold outside." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
"It's not cold. The heat in the room has eased." Zheng Xiu said with a smile. Zhou Bingkun had someone send her coal to her house. They were all good coal, resistant to burning, and had very little smoke.
Several people entered the house together.
"Mom, why didn't you put on new clothes?" Zheng Juan asked. She also bought new clothes for Zheng Xiu. The whole family's clothes, including Li Suhua's, Zhou Bingkun's, etc., were all bought by Zheng Juan.
"I'm afraid that my new clothes will be stained while cooking. I'll put them on later." Zheng Xiu said with a smile.
"Mom, I'll cook later, just rest." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
"How can I let you cook?" Zheng Xiu asked hurriedly.
"Mom, my cooking is delicious. I usually cook. You can try it later." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile. He has said this before. Every time, Zheng Xiu was embarrassed to let Zhou Bingkun cook.
"Brother Bingkun, please teach me how to cook." Zheng Guangming said. He was too embarrassed to let Zhou Bingkun cook.
"Okay, it's a good thing that you can cook by yourself. You can't wrong yourself." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
"Guangming, how have you been studying recently?" Zheng Juan asked.
"Sister, I'm still studying the junior high school textbooks. Algebra and geometry are more difficult." Zheng Guangming was worried. He mainly relies on self-study, which is a bit difficult.
"Mathematics is indeed difficult to learn. I'll let your brother Bingkun teach you later." Zheng Juan said with a smile.
"Mom, come here, I'll help you feel your pulse." Zhou Bingkun said.
"Bingkun, I drank all the medicine you gave me." Zheng Xiudao. Zhou Bingkun also prescribed Chinese medicine for her. Her physical problems were bigger.
Zhou Bingkun nodded and began to take his pulse seriously.
"Zheng Xiu's body is similar to Zhao Shumin's, but a little better than Zhao Shumin's. He can live one or two years longer." Zhou Bingkun sighed in his heart.
The lower the class, the greater the probability of physical problems. They have the lowest income, but they do not have the right to free treatment. Even if they have medical insurance, the nearest hospitals are much worse than those in big cities.
A serious illness is a disaster for people at the bottom.
This has been true since ancient times.
After a while.
"Mom, there is nothing wrong with your body. However, you should drink a few more Chinese medicines to heal yourself." Zhou Bingkun brought a pen and paper with him, and he quickly wrote a prescription. He was about to hand it to Zheng Xiu, but took it back and smiled. He said: "Well, Mom, I'll send you the medicine after you've got it."
"Bingkun, no need to trouble you, just let Guangming get the medicine." Zheng Xiu said hurriedly.
"It's just a matter of convenience for me, no trouble." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile. His prescription was for Yangyuan, and the medicines in it were not cheap, so he planned to spend money on them.
The Chinese medicines he gave to Li Suhua and Zhou Zhigang were also obtained in this way, and they were all relatively expensive medicines.
Chat for a while.
Zhou Bingkun started cooking.
"Brother Bingkun, you cut so fast, it's so beautiful." Zheng Guangming watched Zhou Bingkun show off his knife skills.
"Guangming, this is knife skill, it needs to be practiced, but you can't practice it with a real knife, you have to use a wooden knife. This knife skill is very important, you must achieve the unity of hand and eye..." Zhou Bingkun explained casually.
"Brother Bingkun, you have so many skills just cutting vegetables!" Zheng Guangming couldn't help but said.
"That's right, there are a lot of things that need to be considered here. You should learn it slowly." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
He and Zheng Guangming cook together.
On the side, Zheng Xiu and Zheng Juan were playing with Zhou Jiaping.
"Jiaping, call me grandma."
"Grandma!"
"Juan'er, Jiaping looks like you, good-looking."
"Jiaping's eyes are like Bingkun's." Zheng Juan said with a smile.
"Jiaping's ears are like Bingkun's, and his small mouth also has dimples, which looks like you." Zheng Xiu said with a smile.
"Mom, you have more gray hair." Zheng Juan looked at Zheng Xiu seriously and said.
"I'm old, I'm almost seventy." Zheng Xiu smiled.
"Mom, the frostbite on your hands hasn't healed yet?" Zheng Juan frowned.
"It's much better now. The ointment Bingkun gave is very useful. Juan'er, do you know that Bingkun often brings food here." Zheng Xiu whispered.
"I know, Bingkun told me." Zheng Juan smiled.
"Juan'er, years ago, Bingkun sent me a large piece of meat. I haven't finished it yet. There is also white flour and a big bag." Zheng Xiudao.
"Bingkun didn't tell me about this. But, Mom, you can eat with peace of mind. Bingkun is capable. We have no shortage of meat, white flour, and eggs over there. We eat several eggs every day. Your eggs Just keep it for yourself." Zheng Juan looked at Zhou Bingkun who was cooking and said with a smile.
"Juan'er, Bingkun, I'm treating you well, right?" Zheng Xiu said with a smile. Her eyes were full of kindness.
"Yes, Mom, Bingkun is so kind to me." Zheng Juan smiled. Her eyes were full of happiness.
...
Not long after.
The meal is ready.
"It's so delicious, Brother Bingkun, I must learn to cook!" Zheng Guangming said happily. He is Zhou Bingkun's little fanboy. He wants to learn whatever Zhou Bingkun does.
"You should learn cultural knowledge first, and then learn to cook after you are admitted to college." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
"Okay, Brother Bingkun, I will definitely be admitted to college." Zheng Guangming said.
"Can I get into college in the future?" Zheng Xiu asked.
"Definitely." Zhou Bingkun said. In fact, I also took the college entrance examination once in 1973, but this time the results did not count. Why don't you say it?
"Then study hard." Zheng Xiu looked at Zheng Guangming and said kindly.
"Mom, how are you at the linen factory? Are you tired?" Zhou Bingkun asked.
"It's not bad, the work is not tiring, and the director takes good care of me. He doesn't let me do heavy work and always lets me rest." Zheng Xiu said with a smile.
"That's good. If you feel uncomfortable staying there, just tell me and I will find you another job. I guarantee it will be better than the linen factory." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile. His interpersonal relationship is different now, and he can arrange a better job for Zheng Xiu, but since she is older, she can only be a temporary worker, but the treatment is the same as that of a regular worker.
"No need, I'm fine there." Zheng Xiu smiled. She is quite contented, and she never makes too many demands.
Zhou Bingkun actually discussed with Zheng Juan that he would provide money to support Zheng Xiu and Zheng Guangming so that Zheng Xiu would not have to go out to work, but Zheng Juan did not agree. Zheng Xiu would not agree.
After eating and drinking, we chatted for a while.
It's almost three o'clock.
"Mom, Guangming, let's go." Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan stood up and said goodbye.
"Bingkun, Juan'er, please come here often when you have time." Zheng Xiu was a little reluctant.
"Okay, Mom, come over if you have nothing to do." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
"Guangming, hurry up and send your brother Bingkun and the others away." Zheng Xiu said.
"No need to send him off, it's cold outside, go back quickly." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
Zheng Guangming kept sending Zhou Bingkun and others outside the alley.
Master Li has already driven over and is waiting.
Say goodbye to Zheng Guangming.
in the car.
"Doctor Zhou, I need to ask you to go out later." Master Li said.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Bingkun asked casually.
"We have a guest at Bureau Qi's house. He seems to be feeling unwell and wants you to come over and have a look." Master Li said.
"Okay, let's wait and see." Zhou Bingkun said casually.
...
Russian style house.
"Dad, I have to go out for something." Zhou Bingkun did not leave directly. Let him go home first.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Zhigang asked.
"I went to see a doctor in Gaogan Community again, but I had no choice but to turn it away." Zhou Bingkun said helplessly.
"Haha, you still want to turn it down? How many people want to go, but they don't like it." Zhou Zhigang said with a smile. Zhou Bingkun is very happy that he is making a difference.
