"Auntie, Juan'er."
Wang Yan greeted Li Suhua and Zheng Juan who were busy in the outhouse of the old Zhou family.
Pregnant women are expensive, but not much. Zheng Juan is a conscientious person, and because of her guilt, she still does everything from lighting fires, cooking, washing dishes, tidying up the house, and doing laundry even though she has a big belly.
Of course Li Suhua couldn't give in, but Zheng Juan insisted. She couldn't force it anymore, so she could only try not to let Zheng Juan do too much. Find your nephew to check on Zheng Juan every day and ask him to pay attention.
Hearing Wang Yan's greeting, Zheng Juan nodded and called her brother, then turned back and continued working. Li Suhua glanced at her and pulled Wang Yan into the room with a smile: "Are you tired after a long day of work? Why did you suddenly become enlightened? How did your head grow? You became a famous doctor all of a sudden. Then you usually have it. Aren't all such famous Chinese doctors old? It's our Wang Yan who is smart, and they all say you are a genius."
"Haha, auntie, I'm still surprised now. I suddenly figured out that I can tell you about many diseases. Maybe it's because although I haven't cured a few in the past few years, I have seen a lot of diseases and gained a lot of knowledge. If you study more, you will make progress.”
"Auntie doesn't understand that. Auntie, I just know that you are a miracle doctor who can cure incurable diseases. These people are all begging you and want to see a doctor first. Look at that pile of things, it's today again Sent."
Wang Yan looked at the cans, pastries, tobacco, alcohol, sugar, tea, etc. that were placed in the corner, which were suitable for walking around and giving gifts. He said with a smile: "Keep them all. They are grateful for these. There are many people sending them to the health center." I can't accept it because it doesn't look good. It was sent directly to our house. I have no room to refuse. I don't know who sent it back even if I wanted to return it. Eat them all and let Bingkun give them to Juan'er's mother and her later. I’ll give you some.”
The reason for the current system is really people's medical care. No matter how many doctors he sees, how many medicines he prescribes, or how many people he treats, he only gets a salary of 22 yuan a month. This was the medicine he had prescribed to Li Weiguo before, and this guy thanked him for reporting it.
Going to the hospital for surgery or borrowing advanced equipment for treatment is a huge expense. But here, the price is relatively much less. The main cost is the money for medicine. The rest is just a dime for his consultation, and acupuncture and massage are free of charge.
Of course, the prescriptions he prescribed inevitably used rare medicinal materials, which were quite expensive and difficult to find. But he also has a good thing here, that is, there are many difficult and complicated diseases, and many of the rare medicinal materials they need to use overlap, and the dosages are just different. So in this regard, they all pool money together and then find ways to make group purchases. Taken together, it is much cheaper than Western medicine.
They were from poor families, and they didn't know how to thank him, so they bought some relatively affordable things in this era and sent them to his home. From time to time, someone would come, say a few words to Li Suhua, and then leave, expressing their gratitude and forgetting it.
"Auntie, don't be burdened. No one will care about you. Just be down-to-earth. Leave some hard-to-buy things later and send them to my uncle and the others. It's not easy for them outside."
Although it was not the first time, he continued to give instructions.
"Okay." Li Suhua nodded repeatedly, pulled Wang Yan to sit on the edge of the kang, and carefully took out a letter: "Xiao Yan, this is a letter sent by your uncle. It just arrived today. Look at what he said. Said?"
"Isn't Zheng Juan literate? Didn't you let her read it first?"
"Are you stupid? You are usually very smart, why are you confused now." Li Suhua hit him moderately and whispered, "It's not like you don't know that those two letters last month, I wrote a few more letters asking about the situation. If Bingyi hadn’t said that his dad was fine, I would have thought something had happened to him. If you said that this old guy hasn’t received any letters for so long, isn’t that just to vent our anger? .
What if your uncle says something unpleasant in this letter? If Bingkun and the others knew about it, would they feel better? Juan'er is due to give birth in two months. What if it affects the child? Auntie is thinking, let's explain this matter to your uncle first, and then talk to Bingkun later. "
"Auntie is very considerate, let me take a look."
As he spoke, Wang Yan took out the letter from the envelope that had been neatly torn open. Li Suhua was anxious and had opened it earlier, but he didn't know the words and couldn't understand it. He didn't know how hard this day had been.
After looking at the letter's header, Wang Yan knew that it was okay, because it said 'Suhua, Xiaoyan, Zheng Juan, hello. Li Suhua: "My uncle agreed, but his attitude is not very good."
Li Suhua grinned at first, and then felt a little like crying, because there was Zhou Rong's example before, and now Zhou Bingkun is more ruthless than Zhou Rong. Compared to four years of no contact, this time we only received news after half a month of silence, and we still agreed, which is good. She was afraid that her wife would be a fool, so she stubbornly disagreed and actually kicked Zhou Bingkun out of the house.
"Look at this old guy like your uncle, he finally understands what's going on. Okay, it doesn't matter if he's too different. Just agree. Just agree." She slapped Wang Yan: "Then what did he say in the letter? Yes? Read it for me."
"Bingkun will be back soon. Let him read it then, and we can listen to it together with Juan'er. It won't be long, auntie."
"Okay, I'll go on and cook. Juan'er is a child who accepts death. I have to keep an eye on her, but don't get tired." Li Suhua took a deep breath, got up and went to the outhouse to continue working.
Wang Yan put the letter back into the envelope and placed it on the kang table. Then he lit a cigarette and sat down on the small bench in the yard, puffing away some smoke.
Not long after, Zhou Bingkun came back on his bicycle. He stopped and greeted, "Brother Yan."
"Here, this month's." Wang Yan took out the envelope containing the money in his pocket.
"Thank you, brother." Zhou Bingkun took the envelope neatly without hesitation, folded it and put it in his pocket.
"My uncle has a letter."
"Really? How to say?"
"I just took a brief look and will wait for you to come back and take a look together."
Zhou Bingkun nodded and ran into the house to greet his mother and daughter-in-law. After cleaning up, the food was placed on the table set up underground in the house. It was to take care of Zheng Juan's big belly, which was inconvenient on the kang.
"Son, hurry up and read your father's letter."
Zhou Bingkun sighed, took out the letter, cleared his throat and started reading.
"Suhua, Xiaoyan, Zhengjuan, hello.
You must have been waiting impatiently for me to express my position, right? But this time, will my attitude be useful? What have you been doing? Why did we wait until we were almost five months pregnant to tell her? Is this the responsibility a man should have? How dare you admit it even after being kicked to death, and still live there despite being kicked out of your house? My belly is so big that I can’t hide it any more. The house is on fire. Now do I dare to take any risks? Then tell me what to do? Is it okay for me to speak now?
Zheng Juan, I am not saying this to you, please don’t think too much about it. I have seen your photos and you are very beautiful. When we arrived at our house, we found something like a flower stuck in cow dung, which was a sign of good deeds from our Zhou family. Your mother made it clear to me what kind of person you are, and I see it clearly, so don’t feel pressured. The child in your belly is getting bigger day by day, so you must pay attention to your health. Your mother said that you always rush to work, and I want to criticize you for this. Now that you have entered this family, you are a member of this family, so you should let go and don't have any baggage.
Suhua, you have to keep an eye on things, this is a critical moment, don't be careless. In addition, the conditions of Zheng Juan's family are not very good. Our family is not a snobbish family. When we have difficulties, we must help if we can. If we can't, we will try our best to help.
The prescription Xiaoyan prescribed was very good. After drinking it a few times, I felt that my body was much more relaxed and I felt much more energetic. On our side, we have a miracle doctor that everyone praises. But you must not be proud. Humility makes people progress. You must maintain this momentum, improve your medical skills, treat more people, and contribute to the country. In addition, you should worry more about Zheng Juan. Give her a regular check-up and ensure that the baby is born healthy.
Suhua, Xiaoyan is already twenty-two years old this year, which is not a young age. In the old society, he is already the father of several children. You need to do something about finding a partner. He is the only one in our family who is not married now, so it’s time to get interested. But marriage is a lifelong event, so don't be too impatient and make do with it. You must find the right one.
When it comes to family matters, Xiaoyan is there, so I can rest assured. Suhua, you should take care of your health and eat and drink well. You don’t have to worry about me at home. In your words, if you have different opinions, you should reserve them, and if you feel angry, you can digest them by yourself. You also said that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I have already reserved and digested them, and I have also opened up to the blessings of my children and grandchildren.
Everything is fine with me outside, don't worry about me.
Zhou Zhigang,
March 30, 1973. "
Wang Yan listened with a smile. He had only glanced at it briefly before, without taking a closer look. Now that I hear it, it’s quite interesting. The entire letter only contained a few hundred words and two pieces of paper, but it sternly expressed dissatisfaction with Zhou Bingkun.
Zhou Zhigang was very concerned about face. Zhou Rong had already suffered enough. Now that Zhou Bingkun was here, it would be strange not to be angry. That is to say, the child that was bitten to death was Zhou Bingkun's. He couldn't deny it, so he suppressed many objections. If Zheng Juan was not pregnant and had simply lived with someone for a period of time, it would be impossible for Zhou Bingkun to be with Zheng Juan unless the relationship was truly severed. This matter, in this era, is almost the same for all parents.
As for Zhou Zhigang's partiality, there must be some. After all, not all of the three children are Duanshui Masters. It's my personal subjective feeling. Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong had good academic performance since childhood, and later went to university. One was an official and the other was a university teacher. The person they were looking for was one from a high-ranking official's family and the other a famous poet. When it comes to Zhou Bingkun, he has been naughty since he was a child, married a widow, and raised children for others. How can he feel comfortable?
Even if he goes to save face and really doesn't care about other people's opinions, then he will be troubled by his own thoughts. It is said that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, but how could a father not think about it? Besides, someone else's wife and son were dangling in front of his eyes, who could he not think about?
Of course, they are all his own children, what can he do? Even if there is a bias, it is within limits. Later, when he is old, it is best not to cause trouble to his children. Wherever there are messy thoughts, that's all.
To be honest, Zhou Zhigang, a father-in-law, was quite useful in the land of China at the same time and in countless cities and outside the city. Not bad.
"This old guy, it's really interesting. He doesn't get angry when he talks, but thinks about it. Look at what he wrote in this letter. It seems that no one can tell that he is so resentful." After listening to the letter read by his old son, Li Suhua said He put a piece of meat into Zheng Juan's bowl: "Juan'er, this old guy has a donkey temper, don't think too much about it. Although he didn't speak well, he was complaining that Bingkun said it too late and too suddenly. This The matter is settled now, so you can live your life with Bingkun in a down-to-earth manner."
Feeling the warmth on her thighs under the table, Zheng Juan turned to look at Zhou Bingkun who was grinning stupidly: "Mom, it's you who are overthinking. I have never thought about those messy things from beginning to end, so don't worry."
"My dad is acting like a child. He still writes a letter and refuses to nominate him." Zhou Bingkun shook his head and spread his chopsticks on the table with a smile: "I won't talk anymore. I'm tired from a day's work and eating. Eat more.”
Li Suhua asked: "After dinner, write a reply to your father later."
"Don't worry, Mom, as long as my dad agrees. I'm not the same as him. I'll write him a reply after dinner." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile: "Mom, brother, thank you."
"You kid, I am your mother and he is your brother. Why are you thanking me like this? Hurry up and eat."
"No, one family doesn't speak the same language. Thank you. It doesn't seem like the person you're talking to is from this family."
"Really?" Li Suhua gave her old son a symbolic slap: "You're a big man now. You don't know how to handle things and don't know how to speak. Please let mom worry about it."
Wang Yan then said: "Auntie, then you have to think about it wrong."
"What's going on?"
"Zheng Juan will have a baby in two months, so you won't have to worry about it then. The eldest brother and second sister will also have babies by then. Especially Feng Huacheng, there is no one on his side either. Isn’t it all your job from now on?”
"When you say that, it's true. Oh, I'll be working hard all my life. And you, Xiaoyan, I've introduced you a lot. Either they don't like you, or you don't like them. You can also get some snacks, catch them Tighten it a little, and while my body is still strong, I can help you take care of your children."
Li Suhua had a picture of a group of little kids surrounding him in his mind, and said happily: "Bingkun, after dinner, write a letter to your brother and sister, and tell them your father's attitude, so that they won't worry about it. . By the way, when do they plan to have a child? Your sister is two years older than you, and your brother is two years older than your sister. You said they are so old, why are they not in a hurry? "
…
After all, Zhou Zhigang is the head of the family. He nodded and agreed to the matter between Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan. This was the end of the settlement. Zheng Juan and Zhou Bingkun, as well as Zheng Mu and Zheng Guangming behind them, were finally relieved.
However, although Zhou Bingkun had a silly grin on his face, his mood was exactly the opposite. It's normal to think that what his biological father was angry with him for was something he hadn't done. To say it was all his doing, it was just like the story he made up. He could happily jump three feet high. But fate is so unpredictable, and the love between men and women is so uncontrollable.
Of course, he would not tell anyone these things and would only keep them silently in his heart. Since he has chosen, he should suffer.
As the days passed, Zhou Bingkun's life became peaceful. He would go to and from get off work every day, accompany Zheng Juan, and look forward to the arrival of the child with her. Li Suhua stopped knitting sweaters and switched to making clothes for her eldest grandson. She hummed a little tune and laughed every day, feeling happy.
Of course there were no rumors outside, but no one was stupid enough to say it to his face, so they just pretended not to know. Live your own life, tell others whatever they want.
As for Wang Yan, he didn't care even more. When he arrived at the First City Hospital, considering his medical skills, his salary was directly raised to thirty-five yuan. And after he cured the minor problems of several leaders in a hospital, he was assigned a two-bedroom brick-and-concrete building in the family building. Talents can receive preferential treatment at any time. Although there are a lot of people waiting for room allocation, it is inevitable that there will be complaints, but there is really nothing to say, after all, the strength is there.
Medical staff can better understand what a person with superb medical skills means to them. Although they always say that it is a doctor’s duty to save lives and heal the wounded, there is a priority in treating diseases, it’s as simple as that. This has nothing to do with anything else, it’s just human nature and the wisdom of the world. Ever since Wang Yan arrived at the First City Hospital, this doctor and that director had arranged for him to see a doctor in advance. This does not include arrangements from other cities and provinces, those who have some power in their hands. He is very busy.
However, even though the house was divided, he only found someone to buy some furniture and move it in, but he did not live there. He would still go back to Lao Zhou's house. I only take a rest there occasionally when I'm too busy. When the news reached Zhou Zhigang, he was so happy that he wrote a letter to encourage him to work hard and serve the country and the people.
It was about four kilometers one way and eight kilometers round trip from Lao Zhou's home to City No. 1 Hospital. He couldn't walk there, so he bought a new bicycle to travel.
In this world, for him, the only distractions were matters involving the old Zhou family, and his life had always been stable. In this era, he didn't have the opportunity to show off his talents, that is, he would treat people with a dead salary every day and feel the joys and sorrows of the world.
He sat in the clinic in the morning and used some of his methods to treat patients in the afternoon. Of course, he also brought a few Chinese medicine apprentices who were about the same age as him. This is normal and what he should do. He can't take many apprentices, not because he doesn't have enough energy, but because he only has so many positions around him, which is limited. He plans to write a book to spread his medical skills and ideas. The debate over the existence and abolition of traditional Chinese medicine has been going on since the founding of the People's Republic of China. He wants to plant a flag and build a mountain.
Of course, he has not forgotten the major events in life. Even if he forgets, Li Suhua will not forget them either. In fact, since he arrived now, it has basically never stopped, and he has had many kisses.
He used to work at a health center in Guangzipian, and the salary was 20 yuan a month. Although the conditions were not bad, they were not great, so dating at that time was almost uninteresting. Later, his reputation as a miracle doctor spread, and his quality improved. When he was transferred to the First City Hospital, especially after he was assigned a house, it would be even better, and his channels would be improved to a higher level.
In the past, it was Li Suhua or someone from Guangzi Film who came to him. Later, he was introduced by colleagues and leaders from the First City Hospital and other far-sighted officials. Now he, Mr. Wang, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, is very marketable. of……
After going round and round, the time came to the end of June, and Zheng Juan, who had been pregnant for more than nine months, gave birth. Of course, the place was in the First Hospital of the City. Wang Yan arranged for her to move in in advance to wait for the birth. After more than ten hours, the child was successfully born. No matter how difficult Zheng Juan's birth process was, the result was already destined to be a boy.
Li Suhua was extremely curious, saying how much he looked like his old son and how much he looked like Zheng Juan. Just based on what people say, you can always find a few things in common.
Zhou Bingkun wanted Wang Yan, the most educated person in the family, to name him, but Wang Yan shook his head and refused, asking him to write a letter to his biological father Zhou Zhigang asking for the name.
Zhou Zhigang is also tough. Although it's not like what happened later in the original play, where neither of them wrote letters to each other, it's still quite interesting. Zhou Bingkun was addicted to writing letters, determined to play rogue to the end, and regularly mailed one letter a week, starting from Li Suhua, Zheng Juan, Wang Yan, Zheng's mother and Zheng Guangming's situation. Anyway, I had nothing to say, so I just wrote on two pieces of paper. Zhou Zhigang's side also came back on a regular basis, twice a month, and there was never Zhou Bingkun on the letter's header.
Faced with the important task of naming the next generation, Zhou Zhigang was a little slow in replying to the letter. But by coincidence, I received his reply on the day when the child was one month old. From Jichun to the mountain city where Zhou Zhigang is located, the postal system's mailing time is about ten days. In the ten days left in between, you can imagine how serious Zhou Zhigang was in naming his eldest grandson.
In his reply this time, he wrote 'Bingkun' on his letterhead and named the child 'Zhou Jianhua'. The old Zhou family is now broken up, otherwise it should be named according to the original generation. The name is not bad, Building China, it is very characteristic of the times, and it also expresses the good hopes of the elders for the younger ones, which is very good. Zhou Bingkun thought it was okay, since his father had given it to him anyway, so if it wasn't good, it would be good.
While naming the family, the letter also included Zhou Zhigang's advice to his old son. The elder's letter was Zhou Zhigang's half-life accumulation and his sincere teachings to his old son.
There were no gorgeous and touching words in the letter, it was just the calm words of an old father. But that day, Zhou Bingkun broke his guard and cried like a child.
He used to always feel that his parents cared more about his eldest brother and second sister than him. But the letter from his biological father made him feel a mountain of fatherly love.
But this was not the reason for him to cry. What he cried was still the guilt in his heart for deceiving his parents. He had always known his father's temper, but the more he knew about it, the more guilty he felt.
Li Suhua didn't understand the key, so she just talked about the silly boy in a dumbfounded way and comforted him. Only Zheng Juan and Wang Yan knew the truth. The former cried with him, while the latter only looked at it with a smile...
Of course Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong also received the news. Because of the distance, they mailed some things they could use after giving birth, and also sent some money to show their appreciation.
That month, the money brought by Shui Liuli was one hundred yuan, which was given to the child. Of course Wang Yan accepted the order, but if he really wanted to give it to his children, how could these be enough? But don’t give it up for free. In many cases, there is no need to struggle with money.
With children, Lao Zhou's house is very lively every day. Especially Li Suhua, she is the happiest and extremely rare. What she must do every morning is to ask her nephew, the miracle doctor, how her grandson is doing...
In this way, the time came to mid-August. After half a year, Wang Yan finally saw a good girl...
