The breeze blew, shaking the leaves and shattering the spots of light on the ground.
Ding Qiunan pursed her lips and smiled: "I was treating He Hu a while ago, and I saw you in the courtyard..."
Looking at Li Aiguo, she hesitated: "It's just that you seemed a little different back then than you are now."
The Li Aiguo in Ding Qiunan's memory was soulless, with empty eyes and no energy at all.
And the person in front of me is wearing a snow-white shirt, crisp overalls, shiny black leather shoes, and his hair is neatly combed and smooth...
He just put his hands in his pockets and stood casually in the sunshine, but he was like a tall and straight bamboo, full of vitality rushing towards him.
It's simply the most handsome comparison in the Four Nine Cities.
Li Aiguo was completely confused by Ding Qiunan's words.
He didn't remember anyone named He Hu in the courtyard.
"He Hu family?"
"Ah?! Where is the He Hu family? She is a deaf old lady. She is a five-guarantee household. She is old and in poor health. Our hospital will send someone to check her health every month."
Ding Qiunan was stunned for a moment, his face changed slightly, and he quickly explained.
Her guilty look was caught by Li Aiguo.
He Hushi....
The deaf old lady turned out to be named Hu.
And her husband's last name is He...
Could it be that the deaf old lady is Shazhu’s biological grandmother?
None of this matters.
What's important is the name, why it's so important.
Look at Ding Qiunan's frightened look, as if he has revealed a major secret.
Perhaps because he was afraid that Li Aiguo would ask further questions, Ding Qiunan quickly changed the subject: "I also heard that the third uncle in your compound mentioned you."
...
Li Aiguo silently remembered what happened just now.
"Do you still know Yan Bugui?"
"A while ago, our hospital distributed free candies. According to regulations, they can only be given to children under ten years old. Only three children in the Yan family met the conditions. But he insisted on five pieces of candies."
Speaking of Yan Bugui, Ding Qiunan's face was full of helplessness.
"I explained the policy to him at the time, but Yan Bugui claimed that he and the third aunt also had roundworms in their stomachs. The hospital did not give him roundworm candy, which was a disregard for the health of the people."
"He also told me that if I gave him more medicine, he would introduce me to someone."
"I really had no choice but to give him two more pills. I was criticized by the director for this."
"Yan Laoji can do this kind of thing."
Li Aiguo smacked his tongue.
Roundworm sugar is actually the prototype of later pagoda sugar.
Sanitary conditions were relatively poor in this era, and many people had roundworms in their stomachs.
In order to solve this problem, in 1952, a plant called Artemisia roundworm was introduced from the Soviet Union.
Crush the roundworm into powder, add some Cuban sugar, and make black pills, which is the roundworm sugar.
After eating roundworm candy, you will feel a huge pain in your stomach, and then you rush into the hut, and the roundworms will come out of your butt hole, which is really scary.
Large-scale cultivation is currently not possible in China.
The quantity of Ascaris is limited and can only be used closely by children.
Many adults suffering from ascariasis need to go to the hospital and spend money to buy ascariasis sugar.
1 yuan per pill.
Yan Bugui earns 2 yuan directly from this one.
Make a fortune.
It was already noon, and the rich aroma of food wafted from every house.
Li Aiguo was thinking about whether he should invite the young doctor home and make her a bowl of Erhe noodles.
It's not that Li Aiguo is stingy, the key is that there are indeed no Fuqiang fans in his family.
Food stamps and vegetable stamps can only be collected from Da Kui's house at night.
It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
At this moment, a voice came from afar.
"Hey, I'm borrowing books patriotically. I know how to study. That's a good thing! What did you think about the introduction I told you last time?"
I saw Yan Bugui walking from a distance carrying a foreign iron bucket and a handmade net.
Judging from the way he walks with wind, the harvest must be quite big.
The third uncle also saw Ding Qiunan following him.
His expression changed and the metal bucket almost dropped to the ground.
One moment he pointed at Li Aiguo, the other moment he pointed at Ding Qiunan: "Why are you staying together...So you know each other?"
"Yes, third uncle, are you surprised?" Li Aiguo said with a smile.
He finally figured out that the person Yan Bugui wanted to introduce to him was not Ran Qiuye, but the young doctor in front of him.
"Third uncle, Comrade Li Aiguo and I just met yesterday. It's not the kind of relationship you think."
Ding Qiunan looked shy.
She seemed to feel something was wrong and wanted to explain something.
Yan Bugui looked at her shy look and slapped her thigh suddenly.
"Oh, how do you know each other?"
Then he picked up the iron bucket and ran away quickly.
"what happened to him?"
Ding Qiunan looked at Yan Bugui's back, which was faster than a rabbit, and was a little confused.
Li Aiguo crossed his arms and laughed: "It's nothing, the third uncle feels that he has suffered a loss."
Suffer? What does this mean? Ding Qiunan was even more confused.
...
"What a loss, what a big loss!"
Yan Bugui carried the iron bucket and hurried home.
"Hey, three big ones and two small ones, Lao Yan, okay, you will make a lot of money this time."
When the third aunt saw Yan Bugui coming back, she hurriedly dropped her work and came over to clean up the small fish.
"What's the point of making money? I've been tricked!"
"Who can scheme against you? Have you earned anything else?"
The third aunt looked at Yan Bugui, who had a droopy face as soon as he entered the room, and said angrily.
"This time it was really calculated."
Yan Bugui picked up the enamel jar and took two swigs: "Guess who I just saw on the street?"
"I won't guess." The third aunt rolled her eyes.
Yan Bugui took a deep breath and said, unlike the third aunt, "I saw Li Aiguo and Dr. Ding! Their closeness, oh, I can't describe it."
"Dr. Ding? Dr. Ding from the community hospital?"
The third aunt's face became solemn: "How could she know Li Aiguo so early!"
"Who says it's not the case! I still expected to be a matchmaker for them and earn half a pound of fat, but now it's all over."
Yan Bugui felt a little pain in his heart, so he covered his heart and said, "Also, if we introduce a partner to Dr. Xiao Ding, and we go to the community hospital to see a doctor in the future, wouldn't Dr. Xiao Ding give us more medicine?"
"That guy Li Aiguo is so careless that he bypassed me as a matchmaker and went directly to talk to this girl."
"It's a pity that my win-win plan has all come to nothing."
Yan Bugui wandered into the house as if he had lost money, pulled up the quilt and covered his head and cried.
"I'm going to apply fertilizer... I'm going to apply insecticide..."
....
Yan Bugui didn't feel depressed for a long time and became happy.
The third aunt opened the door excitedly and shouted to Yan Bugui, who was wrapped like a rice dumpling: "Old man, we're here for business. Li Aiguo is here to borrow a bicycle."
The crying stopped suddenly, Yan Bugui opened the quilt, jumped off, and ran to Li Aiguo.
Seeing tears still hanging from the corners of Yan Bugui's eyes, Li Aiguo chuckled: "Third uncle, are you being abused by the third aunt?"
"You kid, stop sowing discord!"
Yan Bugui put his hands behind his back and raised his head: "Aiguo, you are also an old resident, you should know..."
"I know your rules, I won't borrow money in vain." Li Aiguo took out two cents from his pocket.
Yan Bugui narrowed his eyes, swallowed the words immediately, and handed over the key to the wire lock: "Our two families have a good relationship, so I won't ask you for a deposit. If there is a collision, you have to compensate me according to the price. .”
"Okay, third uncle, don't worry. If it really crashes, I will go to Liu Haizhu's place and get you a new one." Li Aiguo took the key: "I remember your car, it seems that it was saved there. ?”
"Hey, you kid, what are you talking about? I'm a serious store product."
Just as Yan Bugui was about to stamp his feet, Li Aiguo had already pushed his bicycle and jumped out of the courtyard.
....
The sun dies later in summer.
It was around seven o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was burning beautifully with red clouds.
After Li Aiguo got the tickets from Wang Dakui, he turned to Chaoyang Vegetable Market.
I walked around the vegetable market and wandered to the meat stall. There were only a handful of meat strips hanging on the meat racks, and they were all lean meat.
The butcher was a middle-aged man, sitting on a horse and smoking a cigarette.
"Brother, are you still fat?" Li Aiguo stepped forward and asked.
"It's all gone early in the morning. All that's left is lean meat, which costs fifty cents a pound." The middle-aged man didn't even raise his head.
"Do you need meat tickets?"
"No, no one wants to buy something like this. Why do you need meat tickets?"
"Okay, give me two pounds."
Li Aiguo took out a dollar and handed it over. The middle-aged man put out the cigarette butt on the sole of his shoe and picked up the machete hanging on the wall.
Without taking a closer look, he just slashed away with his knife.
A white light flashed and he caught it casually.
Then the middle-aged man used a machete to make a small hole in the pork, tied it with a straw rope, and hung it on the scale hook.
"Two pounds, tall."
