"I'm telling you, if you haven't been there, you don't know how good the capital is. My dad took me and my mom just off the bus, and after finding a hotel, we went to eat roast duck. Oops, it's so delicious... We I also sent my mother to Beijing University. That school is really good. I will also take the exam for Beijing University in the future... We went to the Great Wall. It was the Great Wall that Mao Zedong said was not for men to go to. The old man has grown up, and those bricks are so big... ...The place where the emperor lives is called the Forbidden City..."
In the old Zhou family, the adults were eating on the Kang in the east room. On the other side of the west room, a few children who were not serious about eating were eating the things Wang Yan had brought back from the capital. Wang Jianye, who was anxious to pretend to be in competition, compared with that person.
Li Suhua ate the food with a smile: "Hey, don't talk about it. Jianye is such a loudmouth, and what he said is quite clear. I want to go."
"Then go, aunt. It only takes more than half a day from Jichun to the capital. We leave in the morning and arrive in the afternoon."
"Hey, that's what I said. With old arms and legs, why bother?" Li Suhua said with a smile: "Bingyi and Zhou Rong have also been admitted to Beijing University. Have they arrived? You haven't seen them this time. Looking after them?"
"I met Brother Bingyi. He went there the day after we arrived, and we had dinner together last night. He said that Zhou Rong and the others would be arriving this morning, but I had already bought the ticket for the hospital. The patient couldn’t be delayed any longer, so I didn’t see him.”
Zhou Bingkun, who was smiling and drinking a small drink, frowned: "My eldest brother left so early? Then why didn't you stop with Ji Chun and come back to have a look? Besides, Sister Dongmei has to go home, right? He didn't send her off. Go directly to the capital?"
Li Suhua rolled her eyes at her old son: "The summer vacation is just a few months away, isn't it? He won't be able to stay for a few days when he comes back, so why bother? He could just go directly, and he won't miss those few days."
"Zhi Zi Mo Ruo Mu, aunt, that's what he said. He said that he would stay for two days and then leave. It's hard for you. Just wait for the reunion during the summer vacation and come back. You will be happy." Wang Yan said with a smile: "He is himself Let’s go, sister-in-law Dongmei still has some things to deal with over there, and she will start school a little later, so we won’t be together.”
Zhou Bingkun snorted and said nothing. Although his mother said that, he couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, he could see it clearly. It's normal to think that there are so many things going on when you can't live in a house.
"Then look, do I still know what he thinks?" Then, the smiling Li Suhua changed her face and glared at her old son: "What the hell are you talking about?"
"No, brother, Juan'er, look at it, I'm fighting for her, and you're backing me, how wronged I am."
Zheng Juan pursed her lips and smiled: "Eat your food quickly."
Wang Yan also smiled: "Okay, I'll be back in just a few months. My aunt said it would be within a few days."
This was not something he was trying to do to instigate unity within the old Zhou family. When Li Suhua asked, he told the truth. Even if he didn't ask, he wouldn't take the initiative to mention it. Even if he doesn't say it, when Zhou Bingyi comes back, maybe he will tell it.
After joking for a while, Li Suhua exclaimed: "Xiao Yan, Jing'er has gone to the capital to go to college. You two will definitely not be able to cope with each other at home. Jianye is not old enough to go to school. It is the time to be naughty. How about you two?" Just come back and live there, it’s not like we don’t have room. The kids will have company here to play, and you can have hot meals when you come back from get off work, saving you the trouble of running back and forth.”
Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Okay, aunt, I'll go back tonight to get some things or something, and I'll come over and sleep with Guangming in the West Room tomorrow. It happens to be nearby, and I'll give him some extra lessons."
Zheng Guangming, who was eating silently, raised his head when he heard the sound, smiled at Wang Yan, and continued to eat his meal without saying anything.
Zhou Bingkun raised his glass and said: "Okay, come on, brother, let's have a drink. You moved out in 1973, and it's been more than four years. If you look at it this way, my sister-in-law went to the right university, right? Mom." "
"Looking at what you said, it's right for Jing'er to go to college. You put it like that, as if Jing'er is getting in your way."
"Okay, I'm sorry today, I won't talk anymore, brother, let's drink and drink."
Next door is a group of kids who are listening enviously to Wang Jianye's bragging. Here is a family enjoying dinner together. Outside the window is the sharp north wind in early spring and the biting cold. Inside the house is the warmth of the world, peace and beauty. Life……
The next day, Wang Yan returned to the hospital to start treatment for the patient who had been waiting for half a month and was already anxious. In the evening, I went home to get some clothes for Wang Jianye and stayed at Lao Zhou's house.
On the fourth day after he returned to Jichun, he arrived at the hospital early in the morning and saw Hao Dongmei looking at him awkwardly at the door of the consulting room.
"Sister-in-law Dongmei, when did you come back?"
"I came back the day before yesterday. There were a lot of things over there. I came back a little late. After I came back, there were a lot of things reported. I was busy until today, and I didn't even bother to go back and see my mother-in-law. Bingkun and the others.”
"Then why are you anxious? We will be in Jichun from now on. We can see you at any time. I will talk to my aunt when I go back in the evening. I will see when you have time and go back for a meal. Regarding your situation, Brother Bingyi has told me before I said, come in, I’ll show you first.”
Hao Dongmei looked at the patients looking at her unhappily at the door, smiled apologetically at them, and followed them into the consulting room.
The patients are unhappy, but they understand. After all, she calls her sister-in-law, and she still has to go home for dinner, so the relationship must be close. Of course, even if they don't understand, they can only hold it in, so they understand.
Wang Yan and Hao Dongmei didn't talk that much, and they weren't very familiar with each other. The last time they met was during the Spring Festival two years ago, she and Zhou Bingyi left within a few days. This is the second time we meet, and we are here to see a doctor. Even if we are familiar with each other, we can't tell anything. After all, this disease is not something else. Therefore, the two of them did not gossip and entered the room to directly check their pulse and ask about their symptoms.
She fell into the cold well water in winter, which caused amenorrhea. Wang Yan took a look at it, took a pen to write a prescription on the paper, and then handed it to her: "I'll give you a prescription first, and then I'll get it." Some moxibustion, some moxibustion at night before going to bed... Pay attention to it... After three days, you come over in the afternoon and I will give you acupuncture diagnosis and treatment."
Hao Dongmei took the prescription and put it away, and asked hopefully: "Wang Yan, can I be cured?"
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "I can't say enough about the treatment of the disease. I can only say that there is hope. Let's treat it first and see how it goes."
"I know too, I just couldn't help but want to ask." Hao Dongmei stood up with a wry smile: "Okay, you are so busy, then I won't disturb your work. Tell your mother-in-law that I will go there this Sunday and leave first. Yes."
Hao Dongmei had been back for three days and did not visit the old lady. Of course it was unjustifiable. Where can I be really busy and have no time? I just don’t want to go and I habitually procrastinate. Throughout the whole play, she actually doesn't have much close relations with the old Zhou family.
This is normal. After all, her family's conditions are so good that it would be difficult for her to blend in, regardless of whether she likes her or not. It's also a matter of fact that her parents never met Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua until their death. It was difficult for Zhou Bingyi to do, and it was also difficult for her to do it. But she still couldn't control her biological father and mother, and she was so angry that she couldn't change much, so that was it. Just meet less on weekdays and think less about those bad things.
In the play, Li Suhua was originally paralyzed on the kang at this time. Although she did not express it, I think she only went there a handful of times during the period when Li Suhua woke up. So it's the same now, even if there aren't that many things going on, I won't go there.
"Next."
Without thinking any more, Wang Yan called in the patients waiting outside and started the day's work...
In the evening, when he returned home, Wang Yan told Zheng Juan about the matter. Li Suhua just smiled and asked Zheng Juan to buy meat and vegetables in the past two days and prepare meals for Sunday.
Of course, this attitude goes without saying, instructing the older son's daughter-in-law to welcome the eldest son's daughter-in-law as a guest. Except for those who are very self-centered, the distance between people can generally be perceived.
And to be honest, Li Suhua was also unfamiliar with Hao Dongmei. Before going to the mountains and countryside, Hao Dongmei came twice. Then, during the Spring Festival of 1976, she had not seen her since then, and it was not possible to get close to her.
Of course, this did not slow down Li Suhua's enthusiasm for Hao Dongmei. When people came on Sunday, they showed great concern. We talked from noon to afternoon, laughing and joking, and very sincerely asked her to have dinner and stay one night.
However, Hao Dongmei had to go to school the next day, and Guangzi was still a little far away from her home, so it was difficult to walk when it was dark, so she rode her bicycle home without having dinner.
In the evening, the family gathered around the table to eat, and the little ones ate in a mess. Li Suhua smiled and told them not to be impatient. Zheng Juan gave them a few taps one by one to keep them honest. Wang Yan drank with Zhou Bingkun. Little wine.
Li Suhua couldn't help but sigh: "Dongmei still doesn't get along very well with us. You're too polite."
"Mom, don't think about it. It's my brother and sister Dongmei who live together, not us. You also said that since my brother and sister left in 1969, they really left. Besides, sister Dongmei The conditions at home are not on the same level as those of us ordinary people, so it’s great that she can do this.”
"That's true, but it's hard on Bingyi. I guess he won't feel well over there either."
"The book says that without desire, one must be strong. It means that if a person has no purpose and does not rely on others, then there is nothing to fear. If my eldest brother has no other intentions, he will be fine."
"What do you want from your eldest brother? When he married Dongmei, Dongmei's parents had not yet been rehabilitated and were raising cattle in the south. Besides, we can't ask them to cause any trouble to your eldest brother. Isn't that what we just did? Are you on it?"
"Okay, aunt, you have spoken. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Brother Bingyi will not come back in the future. After all, it is them who live their lives. Come and eat." Wang Yan said with a smile: "But Bingkun has made progress recently. What he said Has it all started to be ‘said in the book’?”
Zhou Bingkun grinned: "Isn't it true that all my family members have gone to college, so I have no future? I think that if you don't go to college, you won't go to college. You can't be uneducated, right? It's another cabinet of books, which is easy to read. Isn’t this just a matter of watching and learning, and improving at the same time?”
Li Suhua couldn't help but shook her head: "You, I wish you had such energy back then."
"I just want to improve my ideological consciousness without thinking about anything else. It's different from when I was in school. Now I can be regarded as living and learning."
"Go on, how old are you to live to be old? Wait until you are my age before you say this."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Zheng Juan, who was sitting at the door taking care of her children, got up and went to the outer room to open the door. Soon, Zheng Juan's voice sounded: "Bingkun, come here."
"Who is it?" Zhou Bingkun put down his chopsticks and stood up. He walked out of the house in a few steps. When he saw the person standing at the door, he smiled and said, "Brother Xiaoguang, have you eaten? We are eating right now. Can we have a drink together?"
"No, I came here after dinner." Zhou Xiaoguang shook his head and said, "Come out and I'll tell you something."
Zhou Bingkun asked Zheng Juan to go back to the house to eat, then closed the door and walked out. He stood at the door and asked in confusion: "What's the matter, Brother Xiaoguang?"
"I want to ask you to do something."
…
When Zhou Bingkun sent Cai Xiaoguang away and returned to the house to sit down, the kids had already finished eating and went to play in the next room. Zheng Juan and Li Suhua also finished eating, leaving Wang Yan alone to drink there.
Looking at Zhou Bingkun who wanted to speak but was struggling, Wang Yan had already thought of what it was. He patted the table and woke up Zhou Bingkun who was struggling with himself: "If you have something to do, just say it. If you can do it, don't blame me if you can't."
Zhou Bingkun glanced at his biological mother who was glaring at him, sighed and said: "What? Cai Xiaoguang has been admitted to college, but now isn't it time to bring things back to order? Cai Xiaoguang's father was expelled last year. He turned out to be a publicity manager at a tractor factory The director of the company was also sent to work in the workshop. This time he was admitted to college, but the factory said that he had a problem with his composition and would not let him go. Now that their school has started, if he doesn't go, the exam will be in vain. There is no way to come and find him. I am coming.
Brother, you also know that when Tu Zhiqiang was shot, I was so stunned in the lumber factory. I pretended to go to work and wandered around for a while. Finally, Cai Xiaoguang asked his father to get me the soy sauce factory I have now. So I thought, help if you can. You also know what Cai Xiaoguang is like. His father is not good, so his future cannot be delayed because of this matter.
I just wanted to ask you if there is anything you can do. He said if it doesn't work, just go to my sister, let my sister go to my brother, and let Sister Dongmei and her father think of a way. "
Before Wang Yan could say anything, Li Suhua on the side refused directly: "We can't find Bingyi, so what we just said during dinner is, don't beg others, don't cause trouble to your brother. Dongmei's dad is such a high-ranking official, for this reason It’s not enough to worry about other people’s affairs.”
Zhou Bingkun sighed: "Yes, I think so too. My brother Yan is also very popular. If he can solve it, then don't cause any trouble to my elder brother."
"Auntie, you don't have to worry. I can handle this matter. You don't need to ask Senior Official Hao." Wang Yan replied, and then looked at Zhou Bingkun: "Do you feel it's difficult to handle? It's okay. There will be more of this kind of thing in the future. Wait. Aren't you a young gentleman? Lu Chuan and Tang Xiangyang are now going to college. Now that college students are very popular, they should not be too bad in the future. But Xiao Guoqing, Cao Debao, and Sun have caught up with them, but they can't. Their conditions are not as good as ours. According to the national situation I told you before, it should be difficult for them to get along.
I feel that I still know a few people who can do some things. Needless to say, Brother Bingyi, the son-in-law of a high-ranking official, will definitely join politics when he graduates from college. And as I told you before, when you get rich and reveal your wealth, you will suffer the consequences. "
"I'm not stupid, and I don't owe them anything. Who knows what will happen in the future." Zhou Bingkun shook his head and said, "Then about Cai Xiaoguang..."
"It will be done tomorrow."
"Thank you, brother."
Li Suhua, who was on the kang, said, "Sorry to trouble you, Xiaoyan."
"No trouble, aunt. That person helped Bingkun. I am Bingkun's brother, so I have to pay him back. You put it like that, and then you told me about Lao Zhou's family again."
Li Suhua rolled her eyes: "You said it simply and neatly, and my aunt is not stupid. So, is there anyone who won't be troublesome when asking for help?"
Wang Yan said with a smile: "It's really not that difficult. Over the years, I have treated many officials and their relatives, and I have saved a lot of face. Just make a phone call and talk about the situation. I will look for opportunities later and try again." It’s just a matter of inviting people to have a drink, it doesn’t matter.”
"Okay, I won't say anything anymore. As long as you don't embarrass yourself, hurry up and eat."
Wang Yan followed Zhou Bingkun and continued to talk about the topic of finding someone to do things. He talked about the personalities, current situation and future of these friends...
The next day, Wang Yan took care of Cai Xiaoguang's schooling. As he said, it was really not that difficult. It was just a phone call to Mayor Jichun.
Of course, there are other ways. After all, the tractor is short of funds and wants a grant. He can also solve this problem, but compared to the cost of a phone call, it is obviously larger. Or he could help the tractor factory with some ideas to improve tractors or something, but he was too lazy to put in the effort.
The main reason is that he can only talk but not do it, and this process requires a certain amount of capital investment, and the people at the tractor factory are not very good at it. Because his own profession limits him, a doctor who is well-known in the Northeast is very unconventional and unconvincing when he instructs on upgrading tractors.
Besides, the tractor factory itself lacked subjective initiative. During the decades of its establishment, it only focused on technological advancement at the beginning, but later stopped and relied on the special nature of state-owned enterprises to survive. After all, production and marketing are integrated, the state deploys them, and they have a place to go after they are created. There is no sense of crisis, lack of creativity, and even less vitality. Over the years, there have not been many product iterations. And this is not just a problem for one tractor factory, it is a common problem for a considerable number of state-owned factories in China. This is also a necessity of reform and opening up.
This time, there is no Cai Xiaoguang incident, which may affect the attitude of Hao Dongmei's parents. After all, it is said that it was because of this incident that Hao Dongmei's parents had opinions on Zhou Bingyi. It can be regarded as a small help.
But there is another possibility. People always have to go through some lessons to make progress. Without Cai Xiaoguang to look for things, Zhou Bingyi may not reflect as much as he originally did on "you can't fall twice in the same place", and then ask his father-in-law to do things for others. maybe.
That has nothing to do with someone else, everyone has his or her own destiny...
