After seeing Lu Zhengjun off, Zhou Yang told Li Youwei about Lao Lu's dinner party that evening, and asked her to clean up and go there together in the evening.
Although Li Youwei was somewhat nervous about eating with these cadres in the capital.
But thinking of the friendship between Zhou Yang and Lu Zhengjun, Li Youwei nodded.
Before coming, her father specifically talked to her about what she should do after arriving in the capital.
In her father's words, once she returns to the capital, she will not only be Zhou Yang's lover, but also the mistress of the Zhou family.
When she was in the village, her man would support her in everything, and the interpersonal relationships in the village were relatively simple, so she didn't have to worry about anything.
But after returning to the capital, the people and things she has to face are far more complicated than those in the village. Every move she makes not only represents herself, but also represents Zhou Yang and the entire Zhou family. She must know how to grasp the balance.
In addition, her father also warned her that no matter what happens in the capital, she must be generous and don't have stage fright.
But she didn't expect that someone would treat her to dinner as soon as she returned to the capital, and it was a cadre like Lu Zhengjun.
After discussing this matter, Li Youwei thought that she had not been to her house for nearly a year, and she didn't know if the house was leaking or if there were mice.
So, taking advantage of the time she had now, she proposed to go to the Family Hospital at the Capital Medical College first and send the things she brought back there.
Zhou Yang will naturally not refuse!
After leaving the children in the care of his mother, he immediately headed straight to the new house with Liu Yunlong, Chen Beixuan and others.
It was already past three in the afternoon when the group of people arrived at the Family Court of the Medical College.
Because the weather was so cold, there were very few pedestrians on the road near the Medical College Family Courtyard, and not a few people could be seen at all.
After the car stopped in front of his house, Zhou Yang and others got out of the car.
Although the New Year has been celebrated for some time, the couplets on the door are still there, but they are covered with dust.
Zhou Yang untied the tarpaulin wrapped around the lock and opened the door smoothly with the key.
When I opened the door and came in, the yard was quite clean.
Although there is some dust, there is no snow or dead leaves, and it does not look dilapidated.
The door to the main room was also locked. I found the key and opened the door. There was no musty smell or mice scurrying around as I had imagined.
Zhou Yang knew that this was because his eldest brother and mother came here every now and then to clean.
Otherwise, if the house is not lived in for a long time, it will be abandoned in a short time, and it will not be as clean as it is now.
However, no one has lived here for nearly a year, and the stove has not been turned on all winter, and the windows have not been opened to let in the wind. Therefore, the house looks particularly cold and damp, and standing in the house feels like entering a cold storage.
Zhou Yang walked around several houses and found that there were no stoves installed in any of them, but there were stoves, stove barrels, stove hooks, etc., but they were not set up.
At that moment, Zhou Yang, Liu Yunlong, and Chen Beixuan immediately started installing stoves in each room.
Li Youwei and Huang Rufeng found a washbasin and a rag and cleaned the house.
They were all capable people, and soon the stoves in the main room and the side rooms were installed.
But when Zhou Yang planned to light all these stoves to force out the moisture in each room, he would move here with Li Youwei in a few days so that they would not get used to it.
But when he was about to light the stove, he discovered that although there were rotten wooden boards removed from the yard during renovation the year before, there was no coal at all.
Zhou Yang was dumbfounded this time!
Coal is rarely used in life in the village. Even if it is useful, you only need to go to the small coal kiln dozens of kilometers behind the village to get some.
But things are different in cities. Coal for urban residents’ daily use is provided with vouchers.
Coal stamps are issued quantitatively based on coal certificates and population.
The most important thing is that every year in the fourth quarter, urban residents must bring their old ID card, household registration book, and grain book to apply for a coal purchase certificate for the next year. When purchasing coal, residents must go to a designated coal store to queue up to buy coal.
His family's household registration is in the village, so naturally they don't have a coal purchase certificate. Even if they have money, they can't buy coal.
In desperation, the matter of lighting the stove was abandoned.
Now for Zhou Yang, the top priority is to get some coal back as soon as possible.
After all, Li Youwei and her children will move here in a few days. It would be really difficult without coal.
Just when Zhou Yang was thinking about where to go to get some coal, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the gate.
Zhou Yang looked out of the window and found that Liu Jimin and Wang Yuanhua had walked in.
At that moment, Zhou Yang immediately greeted him!
Seeing Zhou Yang walking out of the room, Liu Jimin immediately smiled and said, "Comrade Zhou Yang is really back!"
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Wang, why are you here?"
"Haha, we just came back from school. When we passed by your house, we saw the door open and thought you might be back, so we came in to take a look!" Liu Jimin said with a smile.
"You two, please!"
After entering the house, Liu Jimin and Wang Yuanhua exchanged pleasantries after seeing Li Youwei.
After a few people sat down in the living room, Zhou Yang said with some embarrassment: "I just came back and I don't even have hot water at home. I'm really sorry!"
"It doesn't matter...but it's really cold in your house, why don't you light the stove?" Wang Yuanhua said, rubbing his hands.
Old people like them are more sensitive to low temperatures. They feel unbearable cold after just staying for a short time.
Zhou Yang said with a wry smile: "The house has not been occupied for some years. When I came here, I discovered that there is no coal here, and the stove cannot be lit!"
"Hey, don't you even have a coal purchase certificate?" Liu Jimin looked at Zhou Yang and asked.
"No, I have been in the village all these years, and my household registration has not been transferred back. I don't have a coal purchase certificate at all!" Zhou Yang said.
"That's it. Then wait a minute and I'll find you some coal stamps. You can deal with the emergency first!"
"Do you have coal stamps in your hometown?"
"There happen to be a few of them. I won't use them anyway, so I'll give you an advantage!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Jimin walked outside without waiting for Zhou Yang to speak!
After Liu Jimin left, Wang Yuanhua looked at Zhou Yang and said, "We haven't seen each other for more than a year. How are you? Are you busy?"
"I'm busy. I planned to come back during the Chinese New Year, but I couldn't get away from work, so I didn't come back!" Zhou Yang replied.
"It's better to be busy. You are still young and it's time to start your career. Unlike us old guys, we can't do it even if we want to!"
"I am an old man who has great ambitions. You are just in your early sixties and you are not old at all!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
Wang Yuanhua smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then said: "I used to have the same idea as you, and I didn't accept aging at all. But after I got sick this winter, I feel that my body is obviously not as good as before. I can't accept aging!"
"By the way, Mr. Wang, how has the prevention and control of Keshan disease been in the past two years?"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "As you know, I have been busy with village affairs in the past two years, and I haven't paid much attention to this matter."
Wang Yuanhua smiled and said: "No need to explain, I know you are a busy man, so I just want to talk to you about this matter."
"The year before last, we set up a research group on Keshan disease in Liao Province to conduct scientific research on Keshan disease. Based on the treatment methods you proposed, we once again improved the treatment plan for Keshan disease, which greatly It has reduced the mortality rate of Keshan disease."
"In addition, we have held eight training courses on Keshan disease prevention and treatment at Beijing Medical College and trained a large number of medical personnel. At present, Keshan disease in China is basically under control."
"That's good, thank you for your hard work..."
Just as he was talking, he saw Liu Jimin returning to Zhou Yang's house again, and then handed a stack of coal tickets to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang took a look and saw that each of these coal tickets was fifty kilograms, and there were at least seven or eight in the stack in his hand.
"Mr. Liu, this is a real help in times of need. I don't even know how to thank you!" Zhou Yang said with a grateful face.
"You're welcome, it's just a few coal tickets, I don't know what they're worth, don't worry about it!" Liu Jimin said.
"No way, if you ever need anything in your old age, just come to me. I'm sure I can help..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Jimin suddenly said: "Don't say anything, I just have something to ask you for help!"
Zhou Yang:%?!.?…
