But what makes Li Aiguo happy is that.
The street office clerk only registered all kinds of valuable furniture and did not load it into a truck and take it away.
That is to say.
The collective scrap shop purchasing agency still has the right to use the furniture, but it cannot sell it.
After the street office clerk left, Li Aiguo picked up a shovel.
"Okay, brothers, this will be our base from now on, let's start tidying up."
When it hit the root of a weed, the shovel head broke unexpectedly.
Chopping wood does not miss the opportunity to sharpen the knife.
Still have to borrow a few handy guys.
Li Aiguo confessed to Wang Dakui and Zhang Erpao, then rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.
The home is under construction and the construction crew sure has plenty of tools.
When passing by the community hospital.
Ding Qiunan was sitting at the door reading a book. When he saw Li Aiguo's figure, his eyes lit up, and he ran up and stopped in front of the bicycle.
That light movement, coupled with the white coat, looked like a big white rabbit from a distance.
"Comrade Patriot, take your medicine." Ding Qiunan said nothing, unscrewed a glass bottle, pursed his lips and handed it over.
The glass bottle contains a dark liquid.
It smells like a bitter taste unique to traditional Chinese medicine.
The sky was scorching with the sun and the light was bright. Li Aiguo was at a loss for a while.
Are you going to murder your husband before you get married?
So impatient! !
Isn’t this pure Pan Jinlian?
Holding the handle of the car, Li Aiguo said in a calm tone: "Pan Jinlian, why do you just drink medicine?"
Ding Qiunan: "Ah?!"
"Oh, no. I'm talking about Comrade Ding Qiunan, what disease does this medicine treat?"
Ding Qiunan breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the glass bottle and shook it twice. He smiled shyly and pursed his lips to explain:
"Many nearby residents are suffering from a 'fake' situation these days.
The superiors decided to carry out the campaign of 'all people take medicine to prevent and treat malaria'.
All residents in the capital, every household and every household, must take traditional Chinese medicine to prevent malaria.
Yesterday, the community hospital organized a medicine delivery event.
All the residents in the courtyard have taken it, except you who are not at home. "
Wouldn't it be over if I explained it earlier? Do you think Ding Qiunan really turned into Pan Jinlian?
As a time traveler, Li Aiguo knows the ins and outs of this "all people take medicine to prevent and treat malaria".
Due to the poor medical level and backward sanitation conditions in the country, the biggest epidemic is malaria, commonly known as "beating the disease".
Before liberation.
Cao Xueqin's grandfather, Cao Yin, also died from an infection called "Da Bo Zi".
Cao Yin was the envoy of Jiangning Weaving and Lianghuai Salt Canal Supervision. He was similar to a feudal official. Ordinary people could imagine that this was the case.
In history, countless people have lost their lives due to "beating".
After liberation.
In order to eliminate malaria and ensure the safety of people's lives, the country has launched a vigorous nationwide drug taking campaign.
Now it is only carried out in the capital.
As time goes by, the activity will be extended to rural areas and remote mountainous areas, where barefoot doctors will deliver medicine to your doorstep.
Whether you are sick or not, you all need to take traditional Chinese medicine.
Although this approach is a bit "human sea tactics", it is somewhat unscientific.
But it had a miraculous effect, and in just a few years, malaria was almost eliminated.
So that the young people of later generations don't know the horror of "showing off".
It is in this era, under the guiding ideology of "everything is for the health of the people", that we can finally win this war that has lasted for thousands of years, regardless of costs and gains and losses.
Li Aiguo took the glass bottle.
He smiled and asked: "Is the Chinese medicine in this based on the "Qinghao Recipe" written by Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?"
"How do you know?" Ding Qiunan opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff a sausage.
"Hey, you forgot, I studied medicine."
Li Aiguo picked up the glass bottle and drank it in one gulp.
joke.
In a few decades, Mr. Tu will propose artemisinin that shocks the world from this prescription.
After the hoes, shovels and other tools were delivered, Zhang Dakui, Zhang Erpao and Xiao Heidan got busy in the courtyard.
Li Aiguo returned to the courtyard and discussed the details of the decoration with Captain Liu.
Captain Liu had another novel idea.
"Comrade Patriot, running water has been introduced into the house, and the indoor toilet has been renovated. How about I build you an indoor shower room, just like the residence of Soviet experts."
Look, the decoration boss started to fool people again.
Li Aiguo has already seen through the true face of 'honest man' Captain Liu.
He took out a cigarette and handed it to him: "Old Liu, the Su Guo experts' Tongzi Building has a collective supply of hot water. There are hot water pipes in the house. Even if you take a shower in winter, you won't feel cold. It's not like we don't have that condition. Well."
"Ahem, a living person can still choke to death with urine."
Team Liu said with some pride: "Fighting against the sky is endless fun! I have been the captain of the construction team for so many years and I have never been stumped."
He took Li Aiguo's arm, walked into the toilet, pointed to the unfinished wall and said: "Although our house does not have hot water, I can weld an iron box for you here.
I heated hot water on the stove and poured it into the iron box. Isn't this the same as the collective hot water supply in the Tongzi Building? "
Li Aiguo's eyes suddenly widened.
Don't tell me.
That's really what happened.
Local methods can cure serious illnesses.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
"okay."
Captain Liu shouted outside: "Xiao Zhang, go to the locomotive depot and ask Lao Ma from the machine repair shop to come over and ask him to bring a few sixty by eighty steel plates and a welding gun to charge to Driver Li. "
Li Aiguo looked at his excited look and felt that he had been deceived again.
It’s better to come here as little as possible.
Captain Liu has regarded this house decoration as a business benchmark, and he can come up with new ideas every time he comes.
The key is.
These ideas are also practical and can improve the comfort and convenience of life.
It just costs too much
Touching his shriveled pocket, Li Aiguo left the house and prepared to sit at Aunt Liu's house for a while.
Two brothers, Liu Tianquan and Liu Diquan, are currently fighting in the Gobi Desert to grow mushrooms.
We, the people, should take good care of their families at the home front.
Just walked under the eaves.
Then I saw Xu Jixiang leading Lou Zhenhua and Tan Liya in from the outside.
"Lao Xu, I'm really sorry. You said it well. Today, Xiao'e suddenly feels sick to her stomach and can't come."
"Director Lou, you're welcome, the child's health is important. Besides, you are the head of the Lou family, and the matter is decided by you. Even if Xiao'e doesn't come, it doesn't matter."
Xu Jixiang nodded and bowed, seemingly respectful, but his words kept reminding Director Lou.
You promised to marry Lou Xiaoe to our family, Damao.
If you regret it, you will have broken your promise.
"That's...that's" Lou Zhenhua, who never spoke softly, could only mutter in a low voice at this time.
Who made Lou Xiaoe disobedient!
After taking two steps, Lou Zhenhua suddenly stopped.
He looked at Li Aiguo blankly, with an expression of surprise.
"You, you are the train driver!"
"Hello, Comrade Lou." Li Aiguo clasped his hands behind his back.
Xu Jixiang noticed something was wrong and whispered, "Do you know each other?"
"We know each other, we know each other so well!"
Lou Zhenhua rolled his eyes and entered Xu Damao's house angrily.
He is a big capitalist in the capital.
Even after liberation and undergoing transformation, those people were still polite to him.
Unexpectedly, I was scolded by a little train driver in front of so many people.
Shame on you!
"Patriot, look at this."
Xu Jixiang was a little confused, smiled awkwardly, turned around and entered the house.
"Zhi Ning"
The door to Zhang Gangzhu's house next door opened.
Zhang Gangzhu's eyes were bloodshot: "Patriot, I heard the voice of that old thief Lou Zhenhua."
He was carrying a butcher's knife in his hand.
The blade flashed with cold light.

When the capital was facing liberation, the army immediately entered the city.
In order to ship goods as soon as possible and earn the last piece of the ocean, Lou Zhenhua, the owner of the steel rolling mill, forced the workers to "work overtime."
This kind of forced order is not a small 996 method such as salary deduction.
Instead, a vicious factory guard team was sent to guard the entrance of the workshop.
Anyone who dares to be lazy and leave early will be attacked with whips and sticks.
Many workers were beaten black and blue and had to work twelve hours a day.
Because the machine did not have any safety protection measures and he was mentally exhausted, Wang Shan's arm was caught in the rolling mill and he was injured.
To rescue Wang Shan from the rolling mill in the machine, the rolling mill must be dismantled.
Compared with expensive machines, workers at that time were cheap consumables.
After Lou Zhenhua arrived at the scene.
Without any hesitation, he immediately ordered the factory protection team to chop off Wang Shan's arm with machetes.
After Wang Shan was sent to the infirmary, he did not receive the treatment he deserved and died soon after.
In order to evade responsibility, Lou Zhenhua claimed that Wang Shan damaged the machinery of the steel rolling mill and asked Wang Gangzhu and his mother to compensate for the losses of the steel rolling mill.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai appeared in time.
"Convince" Lou Zhenhua.
Instead of pursuing further losses, Lou Zhenhua also gave the Wang family two yuan as burial expenses.
Yi Zhonghai won unanimous praise from the residents, Lou Zhenhua was also called a good person, but Wang Gangzhu lost his father.
That night, Wang Gangzhu squatted in front of Lou's house with a machete, but his mother grabbed his ears and took him back.
The mother knelt down to Wang Gangzhu on the roadside and begged Wang Gangzhu to forget the incident.
Wang Gangzhu looked at his mother who was crying bitterly, bit off a tooth, swallowed it into his stomach, and nodded with the help of the pain.
Just last year, Wang Gangzhu's mother passed away.
Wang Gangzhu rediscovered the butcher knife that had been hidden under the bed for seven or eight years, and often sharpened it at the door.
This is the opportunity I have been waiting for.
today.
The opportunity finally came.
"Patriotic brother, is Lou Zhenhua at Xu Damao's house?"
Wang Gangzhu’s eyebrows were raised, and veins appeared on his face.
His voice gradually grew from low to high, then roared, his face turned red, and the wooden handle of the knife creaked when he clenched it.
Li Aiguo frowned and stepped in front of him.
"Wang Gangzhu, what do you want to do, rush in and steal Lou Zhenhua now? You avenge your father and relieve your hatred.
Then what? Wait until Wang Zhenshan from the police station takes you away and feeds you peanuts.
What about your wife and children? "
When Wang Gangzhu heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning.
The whole person was stagnant in place, as if tens of thousands of kilograms of steel spindles were tied to his legs, and he could no longer move a step.
Li Aiguo saw that some residents around him popped their heads out of the house to watch the fun, and reached out to push Wang Gangzhu into the house.
Grabbing his shoulders and pushing him down on the chair.
"Wang Gangzhu, when I was a child, Uncle Shan hugged me and often gave me sweet-scented osmanthus candies. I also hate Uncle Shan's affairs.
“But now that we are liberated, lynching is illegal.
"If you commit a crime, Xiao Shitou will become a family member of the criminal. Your future schooling and studies will be affected, and you won't even be able to get a wife."
Li Aiguo is not exaggerating. In this era, going to school, studying, and working all require political review.
When marrying a bride on a blind date, the woman will also inquire about the reputation of the man's family in advance.
If so many innocent men remain unmarried, who would marry the son of a murderer?
Wang Gangzhu also knew this, the anger on his face gradually disappeared, his fingers loosened slightly, and with a "clang", the butcher knife fell to the ground.
He gasped for air, sweat broke out on his forehead, and his voice trembled: "But, if I just let the thief Lou go, I will go underground in the future, how can I have the face to see my father!"
"Who said we should let him go?"
Li Aiguo took out a cigarette, lit it with a lighter, and took a deep breath.
hiss.
call.
A cold voice burst out from the thick white smoke and penetrated into Wang Gangzhu's ears.
"Big capitalists like Lou Zhenhua, who are stained with the blood of working people, think that donating a few materials and donating factories can erase all the sins of the past. It is really wishful thinking! Just wait, there is always a chance for revenge.
Before that, you endured it for me, swallowed your tears into your stomach, and hid your hatred in your heart. "
Wang Gangzhu looked up at Li Aiguo.
Although he didn't know what opportunity Li Aiguo was talking about.
But he inexplicably believed Li Aiguo's words.
Nodding heavily, he raised his arms and wiped away his tears with his greasy sleeves.
at this time.
Wang Gangzhu's daughter-in-law Zhang Gangzhu came back from shopping for groceries.
At the gate, she heard from the third aunt that Lou Zhenhua had come to visit the Xu family.
She ran back in a hurry, fearing that Wang Gangzhu would act recklessly.
Seeing Li Aiguo in the room, the butcher's knife on the ground, and Wang Gangzhu with his head hanging down, Zhang Gangzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
She came over and patted Li Aiguo heavily on the shoulder: "Brother Patriot, I really owe you this time, otherwise our family would be doomed."
"You're welcome, we are neighbors and we should help each other."
"Wait a minute, your Brother Gangzhu got something good yesterday, take it back."
As he spoke, Zhang Gangtang ran into the house and took out a hanging pig intestine.
"You can go home and wash it, then make it into a dish. It will be delicious."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Li Aiguo was worried about what to eat for dinner, so he took it over.
"My wife, I'm going to eat it raw." Wang Gangzhu said timidly.
"Snapped"
He received a slap on the forehead.
"Do you still have the nerve to speak?" Zhang Gangtang pinched his waist and roared like a Hedong lion.
Wang Gangzhu shrank his neck and did not dare to say anything anymore.
Seeing this scene, Li Aiguo finally felt relieved.
Although Wang Gangzhu is impulsive, he is afraid of his wives.
With Zhang Gang staring at him, he didn't dare to act recklessly.
The other side.
In order to entertain Lou Zhenhua, Xu Jixiang also put in a lot of effort.
After entering the house, he greeted Xu Damao and Xu's mother to serve food from the kitchen.
Two cold dishes were served first, one was Qianlong cabbage and the other was saliva chicken.
Lou Zhenhua and Tan Liya sat on the chairs without even raising their heads.
Then there are six hot dishes, steamed yellow croaker, steamed egg with minced meat, braised pork elbow, pork sausage, fried pork with day lily, and stir-fried musu in vinegar.
Lou Zhenhua's expression changed slightly, he raised his head and glanced at Xu Jixiang in surprise: "Okay, Comrade Xu Jixiang, today's meal is sumptuous enough."
"You are the most distinguished guest of our family and the benefactor of Damao's mother. Now that our two families are going to be related, we cannot wait any longer."
Xu Jixiang licked his face and smiled, looking a little proud: "Don't worry, there is still more."
Braised abalone, steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli, and spicy stir-fried razor clams.
When the three seafood dishes were served, Lou Zhenhua couldn't sit still anymore. His butt felt like grass and he twisted twice on the chair.
Looking at Xu Jixiang: "Old Xu, you are quite capable."
"Director Lou, even though I am just a projectionist, I have contact with many leaders on weekdays. We can do things that ordinary people can't do."
Xu Jixiang's eyes narrowed when he was praised.
At this time, the food has been served.
For fear of being discovered by the residents, the door of Xu's house was closed tightly, and the smell of mixed food filled the whole house.
