It's December in the blink of an eye, and it's snowing heavily.
Yunling put on a warm vest made of khaki wool and the thickest cotton pants. Her originally two slender and straight long legs now looked like two round and thick ham sausages. Finally, he buttoned up his ankle-length brown imitation military coat, put on a velvet hat, earbags, scarf, and large cotton leather shoes. After being fully armed, he walked out the door with a pained look on his face.
There is no other reason for this trouble - the winter in Harbin is really too cold.
The lowest temperature in the past few days has been minus 30 degrees Celsius, and it has been as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius on sunny days.
Since she no longer has to go to work, Qian Li, unlike Yunling and Chu Silan, has to work at the clinic and purchase medicines. She has not been out of the educated youth center for five or six days. In her words, she would rather die of heat on the heated kang. , and don’t want to go out even half a step!
So on weekdays, when Yun Ling and Chu Silan were not at home, Qian Li would help burn the kang in their house in advance, so that the house would be warm when they got home.
There are not many patients in winter, because everyone is in winter and don't go out often, so bruises and bruises are rare. However, colds and wind chills are common in this kind of weather, and the alternation of hot and cold inside and outside the house can easily lead to abnormal body temperature.
In less severe cases, just drink some red ginger syrup and have a good sleep; but once a high fever occurs, Yunling can only arrange to take medicine and fluids. Medical treatment costs money. Some villagers thought they could survive it at first and were unwilling to come to the clinic to prescribe medicine. However, when the condition became more serious, they spent even more money.
In order to prevent a small-scale outbreak of the disease, Yunling and the team leader made a suggestion: the clinic will prepare some traditional Chinese medicine powder packets, which can be taken with hot water when the body feels unwell. It mainly has the effect of repelling cold, and each household will be given two packets. , can also be regarded as the high-cold subsidy distributed by the brigade.
However, although the brigade paid for this matter, it was Yunling who came up with the idea, so the villagers had a better impression of her, and even when visiting relatives in other villages, they would show off a few words——
"Our village has distributed traditional Chinese medicine powder to remove colds, but you don't have any, right?"
"Our brigade subsidized it, we didn't spend any money at all, it was Dr. Yun's suggestion!"
"It's all because the weather is too cold. The captain said this is called a cold allowance!"
"It's better for our captain and Dr. Yun..."
As a result, word spread in various villages and brigade, and many members were still dissatisfied. Why did Yongsheng Village have this kind of high-cold subsidy, but they didn’t?
When the commune held a meeting at the end of the year, Captain Zhao was blocked by several captains and asked: "What do you think your village is doing with the cold weather subsidy? It makes the rest of us not do anything!"
Captain Zhao was cheerful and not annoyed, and calmly said: "We all serve the people! If the team has money, it must be spent on the members. It is too cold here, and it is inconvenient to go out to see a doctor. Doctor Yun from our village said Okay, this medicine pack can at least prevent colds, so let’s buy it for the members!”
Secretary Huang of the commune received the year-end summaries submitted by each brigade. Seeing the situation in Yongsheng Village, he nodded with satisfaction: "We cadres must consider everything comprehensively, and grassroots work is closely related to the lives of the people. Like our Zhao Youzhi Comrade did a very good job!"
"The fact that he was able to come up with this cold-weather subsidy plan and distribute Chinese medicine powder to prevent colds shows that as a grassroots worker, he pays close attention to the health of members. This is a good example for us to learn from!"
When Captain Zhao returned to the village with an enamel water cup awarded by the commune and the "Advanced Brigade" banner, he also had a bonus of 500 yuan in his pocket as reimbursement for the high-cold subsidy.
He was still a little overwhelmed by the praise. After the cold wind blew and he regained his senses, he felt more and more that Yunling, an educated youth comrade, was really a good comrade!
As he was walking and thinking about what reward he wanted to give Dr. Yun, he vaguely heard someone calling his name from behind him, and when he turned around, he saw an unexpected person.
"Boy from the Fu family? Are you back to visit relatives?"
Captain Zhao enthusiastically stepped forward to help him carry his luggage, but how could Fu Chengxu ask his elders to carry things for him? His subordinates avoided him and replied: "A few months ago, I was transferred to the Hongqi Farm to garrison to help with agricultural production, and now I have been saving for several days. During the holiday, come back and see grandma."
Zhao Youzhi didn't understand the transfer of the army, but Grandma Fu would definitely be happy to be closer to home. The conversation between the men was nothing more than career and family, so he asked: "There must be a change in your position this time you come back, right?"
Then he whispered again: "Is it promoted or not?"
Fu Chengxu didn't intend to hide it from anyone. He actually got a promotion this time.
Most of the farm officers were demobilized officers, but he was not considered a demobilized officer, more like a regular officer. In addition to the fact that he performed the mission well last time, the organization decided to make an exception and directly appoint him as deputy regiment.
Before being transferred, Fu Chengxu received psychological counseling for more than half a month, and his mental condition was much better than before. So before leaving, Captain Feng entrusted him with a secret mission, and the object of observation was Hongqi Farm.
"Promoted, now deputy commander."
Despite Fu Chengxu's calm demeanor, Zhao Youzhi was not stupid and would not regard becoming the deputy leader at the age of 22 as ordinary.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as this kid doesn't become confused in the future, his good days are yet to come!
Captain Zhao sighed with emotion: "Heroes come from young, and you are the most promising in our village!"
Previously there was a seventeen-year-old Doctor Yun, and now he is a twenty-two-year-old deputy regimental officer. Each of these had to give Captain Zhao a thumbs up.
But when I turned around and thought about the discord in this child's family, I couldn't help but feel sad. I didn't intend to help Fu Hua and his wife cover up the bad things they had done, so he told the story about how Grandma Fu fainted from anger.
"Your grandma heard a lie from your stepmother before, saying that you were seriously injured and your life or death was unknown. The old man fainted immediately. Fortunately, Dr. Yun went to get an injection. Otherwise, if you had followed your father's cowardly temper and refused to send you to the hospital, the old lady would have... …”
It's not nice to talk about death, but Fu Chengxu knew what Captain Zhao had left unfinished.
Grandma Fu didn't mention this when she wrote to him before, so this was the first time she heard about it. She was angry and scared at the same time. She was angry that his biological father was cowardly, incompetent, ignorant and unfilial. She hated his stepmother for being ambitious and wolf-hearted, and she was afraid that if it weren't for Yun When the doctor arrives for treatment, he may never see his grandma again.
Fortunately, now that he is back, he can take his grandma out.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and couldn't help but ask: "Who is this Doctor Yun...?"
Captain Zhao accepted Yun Ling's affection and praised him for free: "This Yun educated youth is from the capital. Her name is Yun Ling. The girl is only seventeen, but her surgical skills are amazing! At present, the commune After traveling to several villages, there is no disease that she cannot cure."
Fu Chengxu thought to himself, isn’t it awesome! Even performing the surgery on him alone to remove the bullet was done neatly and without any hint of timidity.
And later he returned to the military hospital for a review, and there were no fragments of shrapnel left. The doctor who examined him also praised the smooth wound incision and asked him who performed the surgery on him. He said that this kind of surgical incision is not only conducive to wound healing but also beautiful.
Captain Zhao continued to blow the rainbow fart: "Needless to say the usual doctors, she proposed to distribute cold-repelling traditional Chinese medicine powder as a subsidy for high cold in winter. Although our team paid for it, but you see, I will be the first to go ahead today." I got the honor of the brigade, and the expenses were reimbursed! I'm still worried, Doctor Yun gave me such a good suggestion, how should I reward her?"
Fu Chengxu's mind inexplicably recalled that night at the Educated Youth Point. Under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, the girl's smile was like a flower, as if shrouded in mist, blooming with a soft and gentle light.
"Every household in our brigade has connected electric wires and lit electric lights. It seems that there is no such thing at the educated youth point? You can consider this, which is both a reward and rural infrastructure."
If one person is in the limelight, it is easy to attract jealousy, but if her limelight benefits others, she will be favored by others.
Besides...if it was under bright light, her beauty would be clearer, and he would be able to remember it more deeply.
Captain Zhao didn't realize that he hadn't come back for several years. Why did he still know about the lack of wires at the Educated Youth Point? He just clapped his hands and responded: "What a great idea! People from the Educated Youth area have always come to ask questions before. We just happened to be together this time." It’s settled, and the amount reimbursed by the commune is more than enough.”
Fu Chengxu smiled: "That's alright! Uncle Zhao, I'll go back first and come to visit you after I've settled in."
"No need to bother, I'll tell you when I have time." Captain Zhao waved his hand.
