Now Zhou Bingkun still looks like a naughty boy. Of course Wang Yan will not argue with the stupid boy. He just lightly kicked him for disrespecting him and flicked the ashtray into the ashtray on the kang table: "Don't you say anything about me?" I also know."
Zhou Bingkun looked at him uncertainly: "What do you know?"
"Isn't it Taiping Hutong?"
Zhou Bingkun's eyes widened and he couldn't help but come closer, wondering: "How did you know? Did you watch?"
"Silly boy, why should I look after you?" Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "Years ago, someone in Taiping Hutong went to the health center to see a doctor. I happened to have seen you before and knew that you were my brother. I asked me what you were doing there. Later. A few other people said they saw you going there. We don’t have any relatives or friends there, so something is wrong with you. If you didn’t tell me, I would have gone to Taiping Hutong, and I would be able to find out in a while. "
"Say, I said it's not okay." Zhou Bingkun shook his head repeatedly and said helplessly: "Then can you not tell my mother?"
"It depends on the situation. Just tell me. The old man is whining like a little girl. Please be happy."
"Actually, it's nothing. The one I told you before who was nice to me at the lumber factory, remember the Tu Zhiqiang who was shot because he beat someone to death?"
Seeing Wang Yan nodding, Zhou Bingkun took a long breath and slowly said: "Not long after Tu Zhiqiang was shot, two people found me, one was Shui Ziliu and the other was Luo Shibin. They were good brothers with Tu Zhiqiang. They said so. Tu Zhiqiang’s daughter-in-law is pregnant, and his wife’s conditions are not good. She has an old mother and a blind brother. It was because of this situation when she went to the countryside that her daughter-in-law was reluctant to leave and wanted to take care of her at home. The old mother and brother stayed here and were not given a job, so they had no choice but to marry Tu Zhiqiang through someone's introduction.
Now that Tu Zhiqiang is dead and she is still pregnant, it is inconvenient to do anything and her life is very difficult. Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin were quite particular about taking care of their brothers and their wives. However, because the ingredients were not good and it was inconvenient for them to show up, they asked me to help deliver the money. On the last Saturday of every month, both of them would give me thirty-five dollars, five of which was for running errands. But I see Zheng Juan, oh, Tu Zhiqiang’s wife’s name is Zheng Juan. I think Zheng Juan is suffering too much, so I don’t ask for the five yuan for running errands, and I give them thirty-five yuan every month. "
"Finished?"
"It's over. Otherwise, what else is there?"
"Aren't you deceiving me? Bingkun, are you so brave now? Are you going to rebel?" Wang Yan slapped him on the back of the head: "Don't you just fall in love with this Zheng Juan? What do you think? Please explain clearly."
"Who said I'm attracted to you? If not, you just misunderstood."
Ignoring his insincerity, Wang Yan asked: "How many months old is the child? Can it be aborted?"
"It's been four months, and her belly has grown big, so it's hard to beat her. Besides, Zheng Juan's mother believes in Buddhism and won't let her beat her. She says it's a sin and will harm her good fortune."
"Auntie, uncle, let's not talk about it. Are you willing to raise other people's children?"
"What's the point... No, brother, dear brother, I really didn't mean that. Look where you said it." Zhou Bingkun shook his head repeatedly, refusing to admit it.
"Then this will be difficult for you. If you don't talk about this matter to your father, then your parents will not agree to it. After all, you are a young man, and our family's conditions are not bad. We are not looking for a widow, let alone Not to mention that you are still a widow with a child, your parents definitely can't do it..." Waving his hand to indicate that he didn't need to quibble, Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "If you want to be with her, there is only one way."
"What can I do?" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhou Bingkun wanted to give himself two big mouths. His mouth was weak, but his brains were weak.
"Behead first and tell later. Your mother is easier to talk to than your father. Just say that this child is yours. Bring Zheng Juan back and tell your mother that she was in love for a long time when she gave her money as a gift. But because she didn't dare to talk to her family, He said that he has hidden it until now, and he can no longer hide his pregnancy. Although this will have a little impact on the reputation of your old Zhou family, you have to explain it to others, and your mother can understand it.
As for your dad, he can't come back anyway. The mountains are high and the roads are far away. He could only curse a few words in the letter if he was exhausted. Let’s be with Zheng Juan first, and we’ll talk about the rest later. You and Zheng Juan are related to the old Zhou family. It won't matter if this matter is exposed in the future. And didn’t your second sister secretly go to Guizhou and bring her to your door to marry some poet who is ten years older than you? Although your father has been angry for three years, isn't this also forgiveness? If it comes to you, if three years doesn't work, just four years. We are all biological fathers and biological sons. Isn’t there any unsolvable grudge?
Don't be duplicitous. I'm telling you, Bingkun, now is the best time. It would be inappropriate for you to wait until the child is born and then say that the child is yours. Your mother is not stupid. Even though she is illiterate and uncultured, she understands things clearly. And when the time comes, it will be even harder to say about your father. I'm telling you this, but don't sell me out. As far as you and the Zhou family are concerned, I am an outsider after all. If word spreads that you are trying to marry a young widow with a child, I will be called a white-eyed wolf. "
Zhou Bingkun shook his head and said: "No, Brother Yan, my father and mother watched you grow up, and we have been playing together since we were young. We have been a family for a long time. My mother is not out to find a partner for you. Well, if you are not one of your own, how can you take this job? You just think too much."
"Just don't recruit me out." Wang Yan asked: "If you are so obsessed with it, then Zheng Juan is good-looking?"
When the words came to this point, Zhou Bingkun didn't hide it: "I don't know what your standards are, anyway, according to my standards, she is always good-looking."
"So how was your chat?"
"Brother Yan, I'm telling you the truth, don't laugh at me. I've only met her a few times in total, and we haven't spoken more than thirty sentences. Just when I have nothing to do, I can't help but think about her. She also thought about marrying her back. But you said that I have only met her a few times and said a few words to her, and I don’t know what she thinks. Now that we are talking about these, why do we kill first and then say this and that? , it’s useless, it’s all my wishful thinking.”
"Damn it, I'll move forward if I like you." Wang Yan shook his head and said, "Bingkun, you have to figure out what's going on now. She is pregnant with her own child, has an old mother, and is blind. My younger brother, with this condition, there is basically no chance of remarrying in the future. If you are willing, you said you want to think about it all day long, and you can't just think about how good-looking he is, right? Her mother, her brother, her children, that's all a matter. Now that you've thought about it , If you still miss me, just do it better. If it works, everyone should hurry up. If it doesn’t work, you can’t delay yourself, your mother is thinking about you. "
"Then what should I say?"
"Whatever you have to say, just say what you think." Wang Yan stood up and said, "Wait at home for a while. Zheng Juan's family is not in good condition, so they must be somewhat weak. I will go to the health center to give them a pair of anti-abortion supplements." Qi medicine can be taken by pregnant women and will not harm the fetus. Take it and go to Taiping Hutong to find Zheng Juan and have a chat with her."
After saying that, regardless of Zhou Bingkun who was a little panicked for a moment, he neatly put on his shoes and left. I rode my bicycle to the health center, greeted the person on duty, quickly grabbed some medicine and left. Of course I had paid for it, but it wasn't much, and the cost price would have to be recharged. After all, the supervisor here is another man in his thirties who attends clinics. He is responsible for the accounts and everything else...
Returning to Lao Zhou's house again, Zhou Bingkun had already tidied up the house and was working on the edge of the kang, very active.
Seeing Wang Yan enter the room, he quickly got up and came to pick him up: "Thank you, Brother Yan. How about I go over and take a look first?"
"Just wait a moment. I thought about it on the way back and forth, and something's not right."
"We are just a poor family, what can be wrong?"
Wang Yan shook his head and sat aside to pour hot water: "Think about it, why are those two people, Luo Shibin and Luo Shibin, so active in sending money to Zheng Juan?"
"Aren't they good brothers? Aren't they supposed to take care of their brothers and their wives?" Zhou Bingkun sat aside and said, "No, brother, you have the most say in this matter. Look at your uncle and aunt leaving. After you died, didn't my father and mother take the initiative to find the streets to take care of you?"
"Can it be the same? Our two families have lived together in the same house for so many years. Your parents and mine have been helping each other since we were not born. How many years of friendship is that? Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin How old are they? How many years have they realized? It is indeed right and righteous to help brothers and wives, but thirty-five a month, is that a small amount? How much do you earn, how much do I earn?
Their money must have come from something shady. Didn't you say that the two of them have bad qualities? If the ingredients are not good, no serious company will accept it, and they can still give you thirty-five cents, which seems to be speculation, vote scalping, cigarette and alcohol abuse, etc. The money comes in abundance, but it's not easy, and it comes with risks. With such hard-earned money, if you ask them to give you ten yuan, I believe that they are being particular. But thirty-five would be too much, and it would be abnormal. "
"Do you suspect that the child in Zheng Juan's belly belongs to one of them? Just because you gave too much money? Doesn't that make it more obvious that they are just? And they are speculating and they must have made a lot. You are just overthinking. ,elder brother."
Wang Yan sighed. The child was too young and was not very familiar with the ways of the world: "Come on, I don't seem to be able to explain it to you. Let's go find Zheng Juan."
"You just think too much." Zhou Bingkun shook his head and fiddled with the medicine: "Are there all the precautions written on it?"
"We rely on this to make a living, how can we forget about it? Go quickly."
"Okay, I'm leaving then."
Zhou Bingkun turned around and left the house. After a while, the sound of bicycles leaving and tires pressing on the road could be heard outside, gradually getting farther and farther away.
He left so simply because he had done some psychological counseling before. Wang Yan shook his head, put his slippers on the kang, and drank tea against the window sill.
His side will definitely be spread out, but he will do it in the future. It's only 1973, and it won't be until 1979 that the pilot special zone will be established. It won't be until around 1984 that something can be done in the Northeast and other inland areas. It's still early.
So he has nothing to do now. He is just to be his old Chinese medicine doctor and make a name for himself as a miracle doctor first. As for money, he won't need to start a business in the future, or go to the black market for ticket scalping or anything like that. Because his current salary is enough to live on, and he wants more money. As long as he is known as the 'Wang Miracle Doctor', then he will not be short of money or resources.
Although treating diseases and saving lives is a doctor's duty, all patients' families hope that through some material gifts, doctors can do their best. Decades later, giving red envelopes to doctors is still a matter of course. It’s just that some people don’t want it, or charge it for hospital bills, and some people are used to it and feel uncomfortable without doing it.
Not only did he work as a full-time doctor before, but he also worked as a doctor in the best hospital in China. He was also promoted to the highest chief physician. He was also the most popular professor and most popular doctoral supervisor in the college. He also participated in the health care work of national leaders. . He understands all the nonsense about doctors and patients, hospitals, etc.
And this process won't take long. It just depends on whether he can cure a few fatal diseases. When the time comes, others will spread rumors and praise him to the sky. Fortunately, he is strong enough and can hold on.
Of course, we also need to help Zhou Bingkun during the process to make it safe and smooth. He didn't fool Zhou Bingkun yesterday, he really wanted to let him rise to power.
Zhou Bingkun is not stupid, he is also a little clever. Including the opening of an educational bookstore in the original drama, and the moving company in the later period, which are actually pretty good. Although the restaurant he runs is too small to see much, the restaurant is well organized and he opened it by himself, and the management is somewhat decent. Give me a platform and practice, it won't be a big problem.
Of course, not to mention that Zhou Bingkun himself still has a few tricks up his sleeve, but even if he doesn't, he can get it by spending a lot of resources. Wang Yan is familiar with this job, he has done it many times before.
As for Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin, he was thinking about killing them directly. After saving, a lot of bad things will happen because of the children.
But it's okay that the water flows by itself. He has some conscience. As Tu Zhiqiang's "real affectionate friend", he insisted on sending money to Zheng Juan. Otherwise, Luo Shibin would not give the money.
Now that Shui Ziliu has a high status, Luo Shibin is just the younger brother behind Tu Zhiqiang and the others. Later, it was Luo Shibin who got up, and Shui Ziliu became a vassal, and was even kicked out of the company. Although he still helped Luo Shibin with this and that, he didn't know if he was willing to do so.
As for Luo Shibin, Zhou Bingkun accidentally killed him. When he was arrested, he didn't know whether Luo Shibin was dead or alive. But when he learned about Luo Shibin's death, maybe he was relieved. Although he married Zheng Juan and recognized his son, he was still a man, and he could not really pretend that what happened to a miserable woman like Zheng Juan, whom he loved deeply, had not happened.
It's February now, and Zheng Juan is four months pregnant, which means she will give birth in July or August. In the original play, old age passes very harshly, but the time in between is not very clear. Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin were arrested after Zheng Juan gave birth. The scene was not winter. Basically, they should have been arrested in more than half a year, and they would not be seen again for ten years.
With this in mind, Wang Yan decided to let Luo Shibin and Shui Ziliu go and wait until later. Try to let Zhou Bingkun solve it by himself. Revenge with your own hands is always the most satisfying...
Zhou Bingkun rode his bicycle and wandered to Taiping Hutong, thinking about what he should say to Zheng Juan when they met. Ben was not too far away, and they were turning around again. The closer the distance, the more panicked he became.
"What are you doing, Bingkun?"
Zhou Bingkun, who was deep in thought, was caught off guard by the sudden greeting. The wheel just turned sideways. Coupled with the heavy snowfall just the day before yesterday, the ground was covered with ice. One of them didn't control it well and happened to slip sideways. Fortunately, it stabilized. Otherwise, it would have plunged into the snowdrift next to it.
Xiao Guoqing looked at the general Zhou Bingkun in confusion, and stepped forward with a smile and punched him: "What are you thinking about, you don't even look at the road? Why didn't you just dive in? I can laugh at you. Two years."
"Get out of here." He punched back angrily, and Zhou Bingkun pedaled away.
"Hey, no, what are you doing there? That's Taiping Hutong over there. What's wrong with you?"
"Ah... something happened, um... what, my brother Yan asked me to go over there to deliver medicine to people. Look, isn't it?" Zhou Bingkun cleverly made an excuse and showed off the clothes tied to the handlebars. Mention the square medicine wrapped in yellow paper.
"I looked at Debao this morning. He and Chunyan's family are going to get married today at noon. You don't know, we broke up yesterday and I left with Qichao. That made Qichao very sad."
"Then what's the point of being sad? Chunyan was proud of Cao Debao and said he was very handsome when he played the harmonica." Zhou Bingkun shook his head: "Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I'll go deliver medicine to people quickly."
"Okay, go ahead and talk about it someday."
After nodding, Zhou Bingkun pedaled away on his bicycle and headed towards Taiping Hutong.
When he arrived at the two-room house facing the street with only a small courtyard, he hesitated a little and did not dare to speak. He rode his bike with his feet on the ground and looked at Zheng Juan's house in a daze.
"Bingkun? Today is not Saturday. Why are you here?"
The old wooden door creaked under the weight. An old lady with gray hair, wrinkles on her face, and a little dirty body opened the door. It was Zheng Juan's old mother.
Poor people, especially in such an era of material scarcity, many people are like this. Working hard day after day to make a living, there is no time to do the most useless honorable work.
Her voice interrupted Zhou Bingkun, who was stunned.
"Ah, aunt. Well, my brother is a doctor at the health center. He prescribed a pair of medicines for Zheng Juan to prevent miscarriage and replenish gas. I will bring them over. Are you going out, aunt?"
Before Zheng's mother could speak, Zheng Guangming, who looked malnourished at first glance, ran out: "Brother Bingkun!"
"Hey, light."
Zheng's mother rubbed Zheng Guangming's head: "How about you come in and sit for a while? Drink some hot water?"
"……Why."
Seeing Zhou Bingkun's promise, Mother Zheng let him into the house with a smile: "I have to go get some soy sauce. There is no more soy sauce at home. Guangming, come with me."
"Okay, Mom."
Zhou Bingkun stood in the outer room, watching helplessly as Zheng's mother left with Zheng Guangming. He looked at the door curtain in front of him, not knowing whether to go in or not. There was no movement in the room.
2k
After being silent for a long time, he couldn't stand being so depressed, so he stumbled and spoke: "Well, I put the medicine on the stove, and the instructions for usage and dosage are in it. My brother said, this is for miscarriage and gas replenishment. It's good for the baby in your belly."
"Come in, I'll get you some water."
The door curtain was lifted open, and the thoughtful face appeared in front of him. Zhou Bingkun nodded blankly: "Hey."
In the small room, he held an enamel jar in his hand and stared intently at the bumpy ground. He couldn't say a single word of what he was thinking about at home and on the road.
Zheng Juan sat next to him, stroking her belly with her hand, and looked at his side face.
After a long time, Zheng Juan broke the silence...
