A night of fierce fighting turned Liu Guangqi from a vigorous tiger into a soft-legged cat walking and holding on to the wall. He ran to the space to rest for two days before he dared to come out.
"Hey, you got up so early, Guangqi."
"Well, don't you still have to go to work? What if you don't do it earlier?"
"Have you eaten, man?"
"I've eaten, uncle."
When Liu Guangqi went out the next morning, everyone he met on the road greeted him.
Especially when Liu Guangqi wanted to leave the alley, he had to pass by the public toilet. In the early morning, there were people queuing up outside the public toilet, waiting to go to the toilet. Liu Guangqi walked out of the alley almost like a military parade. When he left Nanluogu Lane, his whole face was frozen with laughter. Got it
No way, who made him so famous recently? In addition to good news, newspapers all over the country wrote about him, saying how much good news he has brought to patients with amputated limbs, and what the prospects are for surgery to re-open limbs. Okay, what about leading the world?
The person involved, Liu Guangqi, was a little embarrassed. After all, this was a not difficult operation. If it was a lung transplant or a heart transplant, Liu Guangqi felt that it was acceptable.
"Hey, a big celebrity from our medical clinic is here. Come on, make room for our national treasure."
As soon as Huzi saw Liu Guangqi, he immediately came up to him with a smile.
"Go away and talk to me."
"Guang Qi, please tell us how you connected your toes to your hands."
After arriving at the Bai Family Medical Center, the situation was not much better. The workers at the medical center immediately surrounded Liu Guangqi when they saw him, and even the patients who came to see him came to watch the excitement.
Faced with this situation, in order to maintain his positive image, Liu Guangqi could only show his professional fake smile again. After all, he could not hit the smiling person.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. After all, ordinary people are forgetful. Soon Liu Guangqi's incident was replaced by fresh and interesting things. Compared with this, whose daughter-in-law broke her shoes again, it is obviously more interesting to arouse people's interest.
As the public's attention shifted, Liu Guangqi's life returned to calm again.
The happy and stable days always passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, the time came to June 1959.
I don’t know what happened, but as soon as we entered 1959, the climate became abnormal. Since the end of the New Year, there has been not a drop of rain for more than three months and almost four months. Not only was there no rain, but the temperature was also terrifyingly high. It had just entered June and the temperature had already soared to over 40 degrees.
It was so hot that not only the trees on the roadside were wilted, but also the people. Wangfujing Street is usually crowded with people, but now there is not even a person walking on it, and the asphalt road on the ground is hot to the feet.
Even the three-wheel truck driver hid in the shade to cool off. After all, making money is important, but life is more important.
"Oh, it's so hot on this road. Godmother, please get me a bottle of soda. What the hell is this weather like? It's even hotter than my hometown."
Naturally, there were fewer people shopping on such a hot day. Chen Xueru returned home before seven o'clock. As soon as she entered the door, she yelled at Liu's mother for a soda.
"Get me a bottle too, godmother."
"Then I want it too"
"Bring me a bottle too, Auntie."
"Okay, I have everything."
When Liu Ma saw Chen Xueru sweating profusely, she immediately stood up and walked towards the water tank outside the door.
Bai Mei, Bai Hui, and He Ruiyun, who were sitting together playing Landlord, also raised their hands when they saw this. Soon Mother Liu came in carrying several bottles of soda and divided the soda among her daughters-in-law.
"Don't tell me you haven't seen it before. I have never seen such a hot day in all my life.
The day before yesterday, I went to your grandpa's house and saw a small river on the road. I planned to go there and wash my face to cool off, but when I walked closer, I saw that the water in the river had dried up. I think there is no hope for the crops in the fields this year. I don't know what it's like in other places. "
After watering the soda, Liu Ma sat behind Bai Hui and fanned herself.
Although she was sitting in the house with a fan on her head and a cattail leaf fan in her hand, the sweat on Liu's forehead was still dripping down. This was the case for everyone sitting at home, so what about working outside? Needless to say, the son of a child.
Especially for people like Lao Liu who work in the forging workshop, you can imagine how hard it is. So these days, Liu’s mother will cook a large pot of mung bean soup for Lao Liu every day and then chill it. He took the thermos to the workshop, but no matter how much Liu Ma cooked, when he came back the next night, the thermos was still completely drunk.
"Don't count on it. With such a hot weather, there will definitely be a drought. This year's grain production is definitely reduced. And it's not a small reduction, it's a big reduction."
At this moment Liu Guangqi also walked in wearing an undershirt and shaking a folding fan. Because everyone was busy smelting steel last year and neglected agricultural construction. Coupled with this year's severe drought, a reduction in grain production in North China is a certainty.
"Guangqi, according to what you say, life will be difficult for ordinary people this year."
When the sister-in-law on the side heard this, her alarm bells rang.
"That's for sure. If you don't believe it, go to the fields and see for yourself."
**** is not just saying this casually. China’s current agricultural production capacity and food reserves are simply not enough to face such a natural disaster. Starvation is a certainty.
"I'm just saying that it's become harder and harder to buy food at the grain store in the past two days. Even if you have a ticket, you can't buy it. Guangqi, our family needs to prepare some food in advance. Otherwise, what will happen if we don't have food to eat? Let’s do it.”
The sister-in-law looked at Liu Guangqi and said worriedly that she was sold as a daughter-in-law because her family could not afford to eat. Now she was very flustered when she heard that she was going hungry again.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, if anyone is hungry, our family will not be hungry."
Seeing Liu Qiufang's nervous look, Bai Mei patted her shoulder. Others also pursed their lips and smiled.
Although Liu Qiufang didn't know why Bai Mei was so relieved, she felt relieved when she saw everyone pouting and snickering. She knew there were secrets in the family, but she wouldn't ask if Liu Guangqi and the others didn't tell them.
"No, I really can't stand it anymore. I have to take a shower. It's almost dark today, why is it still so hot?"
After playing poker for a while, Chen Xueru still felt unbearably hot. Not only she, but also everyone else in the room felt the same. They were wearing enough clothes now, but they still felt a little unable to sit still.
"It would be nice to have a pool."
He Ruiyun's words immediately attracted the attention of the girls to Liu Guangqi.
"If you want to come, then come in."
Liu Guangqi knew what the girls were thinking as soon as he saw their eyes. How could Liu Guangqi refuse such a good thing? He took the girls directly to the space and the swimming pool.
Bai Zhenhao, who was playing with blocks on the side, looked at his parents who suddenly disappeared. He couldn't figure out why his parents didn't take him with them when they came home. He was so hot.
Just when Liu Guangqi was leading a group of beauties in swimsuits to have sex in the swimming pool of the space, the originally sunny sky outside suddenly turned into dark clouds, and then a thunderbolt sounded out of thin air, and a heavy downpour followed.
Seeing the sudden heavy rain, the residents of Sijiu City who were tortured by the high temperature suddenly burst into cheers. Some people even rushed directly into the heavy rain, letting the rain wash away their hot bodies.
The farmers outside the city and the leaders in the compound frowned when they looked at the rain outside. Some even ran into the heavy rain and cried bitterly because they couldn't bear it.
For them, the rain came at the wrong time. Anyone who has planted fields knows that rain is the most feared thing whether it is wheat harvest or autumn harvest, because at this time the wheat in the field is mature and dry, and will germinate once it encounters rain. Once the wheat sprouts, nothing can be done except making maltose.
Now is the critical time of wheat harvest. Various places have just started wheat harvest, or are preparing to start wheat harvest. Now that it has been rained, most of the work has been in vain. The grain output this year was not high, and now it is even worse. , if it fails, nothing will be harvested.
It would be fine if it was localized.
However, according to telephone reports from various places, it has been raining moderately to heavy rain in the entire Hebei region. It is strange that the leaders are not worried.
Liu Guangqi and his wife stayed in the space for six hours, until all the heat in everyone's hearts was soaked away. Only then did he walk out of the space with satisfaction.
After dinner, Liu Guangqi came to Bai Hui's east wing according to order.
The best thing to do on a rainy day is to light a pot of incense, lean by the window, and listen to the rain while sipping tea and reading. The most beautiful thing is that there is a beauty like Bai Hui beside me. This feeling of reading at night with red sleeves and fragrant fragrance is really pleasant.
Just when Liu Guangqi was patiently tying incense and seals, Lao Liu walked in with a full belly.
"Is something wrong, Dad?"
When Bai Hui saw her father-in-law coming in, she quickly walked out from behind Liu Guangqi and moved a chair for Liu Haizhong, and then took Bai Zhenhao back to her room.
"Hey, it's okay. I just came to see you. Ahem, there are a lot of paintings in this room. I usually don't pay attention to them."
Old Liu coughed twice, pretending to be nonchalant, and wandered around in the study.
"What's interesting about me? If you have something to say, just tell me directly without beating around the bush. You're not doing something you shouldn't have done behind your back, are you?"
Liu Guangqi looked at Liu Haizhong who was hesitant to speak, and suddenly burst into laughter, and then asked with a serious face.
"No, absolutely not. That's it. Boss, the new deputy director Yang wants you to go to the factory to guide the doctors in the factory. Let me ask you if you agree."
Lao Liu rubbed his hands and said awkwardly.
"this one?"
"this one!"
"Nothing else?"
"Nothing else!"
"Then, can I say I disagree?"
Liu Guangqi said deliberately while looking at Old Liu who didn't dare to breathe.
"No, what a great thing. Why don't you agree? I already promised to Deputy Director Yang."
Liu Haizhong became anxious when he heard that Liu Guangqi disagreed.
"I knew this was the case. Didn't I tell you not to always make decisions for me? You promised others. If by that time, I really can't leave, what should you do? I'm already at work now. It’s no better than before.”
Liu Guangqi was also troubled by Liu Haizhong's tendency to make his own decisions. For his own vanity, Liu Haizhong often agreed to other people's requests behind Liu Guangqi's back, either for medical treatment or other matters, which made Liu Guangqi tireless.
The most serious incident was when he took it upon himself to accept gifts from others during the Chinese New Year and asked Liu Guangqi to help arrange a job in the hospital for the son of a friend of his.
Liu Guangqi got angry at that time and directly lost his temper and complained to him once, and he finally calmed down a little. Unexpectedly, it only took half a year for him to fall into his old ways again.
"Okay, but this is the last time. You must discuss this matter with me in the future,"
Seeing Liu Haizhong's pitiful appearance, Liu Guangqi still felt soft. He remembered how awesome Liu Haizhong was, and could scare the three brothers of the Liu family to tremble with just one look. He didn't expect that he would lose his height in just a few years.
"Come on, I know that our eldest son is the most filial, and he will definitely not ignore me. Okay, if it's okay, I'll go back to bed first. It's a rainy day and I can have a drink and have a good sleep."
After getting a satisfactory answer, Bangzhong walked outside with satisfaction.
Nine days of majestic rain curtains spread out, and green ink flows between the sky and the earth.
Leaning against the railing, the window suddenly appears, the tree is still a tree, the sky is still the sky.
After Lao Liu left, looking at the storm outside the window, Liu Guangqi drank a cup of hot tea and spoke with emotion.
"Welcome, welcome. Warm welcome."
Three days later, Liu Guangqi brought Wang Dongfang and Zhao Tai to the steel rolling mill as scheduled. As soon as they entered the steel rolling mill, the three of them were warmly received by the leaders of the steel rolling mill.
"Director Yang, what are you doing? This is too enthusiastic."
Liu Guangqi looked at the grand reception team in front of him and said flattered.
"This is quite enthusiastic. You are our factory trainee.
He has raised an outstanding son. It is his first time to come back to guide the work, no matter how enthusiastic he is, he cannot be too enthusiastic. "
Deputy Factory Manager Yang held Liu Guangqi's hand and said excitedly.
"What kind of outstanding son am I? It's good that I didn't bring trouble to our factory."
Liu Guangqi said modestly.
"You're too polite, Guangqi. If you can't be considered an outstanding student, then our factory won't have any outstanding students."
Said a workshop director who usually had a good relationship with Liu Haizhong.
"Okay, let's stop talking here. Let's go into the factory and chat while we eat."
"It's not too early to eat now, Director Yang. Otherwise, let's go to the factory infirmary first."
Liu Guangqi looked up at the sky. It was only eleven o'clock at most, and it was still early for dinner.
"It's not early. It's time to go over and talk for a while. People are like iron rice or steel. You won't be hungry if you don't eat a meal. When you arrive at our steel rolling mill, we can't let you go hungry to carry out the revolution. Besides, this I've been working on the guidance for several days at a time, so I'm not in a hurry at this moment."
As he spoke, Deputy Director Yang dragged Liu Guangqi and his group towards the No. 2 canteen of the steel rolling mill.
As a large factory with thousands of people, the steel rolling mill naturally cannot have only one canteen. After all, the steel rolling mill is so big. If everyone goes to one place to eat, then all the time will be spent on the way to eat every day.
Therefore, in order to facilitate employees to eat, the steel rolling mill has set up a total of five canteens. Among them, Canteen No. 2 is the most special. Because the headquarters of Hongxing Steel Plant is located in the steel rolling mill, Canteen No. 2 is not only responsible for the dining requirements of ordinary employees, but also responsible for the catering of leaders and the catering of guests received by the factory. It is what people usually call a small stove.
At this time, in the No. 2 cafeteria, chef He Yuzhu was bragging with his colleagues. Coincidentally, the person he was bragging to others happened to be Liu Guangqi, and the content of the bragging was naturally about the close relationship between him and Liu Guangqi.
"Let me tell you, Guangqi and I grew up naked in the same courtyard, and our relationship was never mentioned.
Even though he is outside making trouble now, he still has to call me Brother Zhuzhu when he comes back to our courtyard.
Liu Lan, don't you want to see what Liu Guangqi looks like? When the food is served later, go and take a good look at what he looks like. "
"Okay, I'll go, I'll go. You have such a good relationship with him, so can you tell him if he can go to my house to see my father."
Liu Lan looked at Silly Zhu's frustrated look and made a request.
"This, this"
Upon hearing this request, Silly Zhu immediately showed a troubled expression on his face.
"Why, it's a misfire. Didn't you just say how good your relationship is? He won't even do this little favor for you, right?"
Liu Lan glanced at Silly Zhu with disdain. I think Silly Zhu is just bragging.
"It's not impossible. The main reason is that he is too busy. He is a busy man now. How can he have time to go to your house? Not to mention that your house is so far away."
"Okay, Silly Zhu, stop talking nonsense there. Guangqi and the others are already here. Get ready to serve the food quickly. Don't keep the leaders waiting for too long."
Just when Silly Zhu was scratching his head, Director Wang from the cafeteria came in and urged.
"You're here so early. What time is it? Just eat."
Silly Zhu immediately jumped up from his chair when he heard the canteen director's voice.
"The leader doesn't just have to eat at what time he wants. What nonsense, he just has to do it quickly."
After the canteen director finished speaking, he walked out.
"I know, these grandsons just eat and drink all day long and don't dare to do anything serious."
After the canteen director left, Shazhu whispered softly.
"Okay, Silly Zhu, be careful with what you say and let the leader hear you, otherwise you will suffer the consequences."
"If you hear it, you will hear it. He can still fire me. The worst thing is to go to the workshop or the toilet. Liu Lan, believe it or not, how they get me out will be how they get me back."
"Believe, believe, I believe. Just go about your business."
Hearing Sha Zhu's heroic words, Liu Lan curled her lips and walked towards the eucalyptus board on the other side of the cage with the vegetable basin in her arms.
"Here comes the dish, braised carp noodles, Yanjin recipe. Doctor Liu, this dish was specially made for you by Shazhu, saying you like it."
In the blink of an eye, Shazhu had prepared the first dish. Liu Lan took small steps and walked to the private room carrying the plate.
"In a year of great disaster, it's too expensive, Director Yang."
Liu Guangqi looked at the baked carp noodles in front of him and sighed.
