"Master, please keep your eyes open, please!"
In the store, Wang Zhong took out an antique wooden box. Behind the counter was an elderly man in his sixties, wearing glasses and looking like an old scholar.
At first, the old scholar was a little unconcerned. After all, Wang Zhong was wearing too ordinary clothes and his military uniform was patched. But when Wang Zhong opened the wooden box and revealed the pair of high-quality, crystal-clear and moist bracelets inside, the old scholar was His eyes changed immediately.
Before Wang Zhong could say hello, he immediately bent down and squinted his eyes to watch carefully.
Then he raised his eyes and looked at Wang Zhong in great surprise: "What a good thing!"
At this time, Wang Zhong was wearing a summer military uniform without epaulettes. His back was straight and his eyes were quite sharp. He had the aura accumulated from killing more than forty enemies. At first glance, he was a soldier.
The old scholar took out a square handkerchief, took out a magnifying glass, carefully picked up the table with the handkerchief, placed it under the magnifying glass and looked at it carefully. He turned over the two tables and looked at them for a while, and then carefully put them back into the box.
"The water type, color, and texture are all of the best quality." The old scholar couldn't hide his joy and couldn't help but shake his head and praise: "This is the best thing I have seen in the past few years, bar none."
Wang Zhongdao: "Please tell me how much it is worth?"
The old scholar raised three fingers.
Wang Zhong said: "Three thousand?"
The old scholar nodded, "I can only give you so much."
"Changed!"
Wang Zhong was very decisive.
The old scholar reminded Wang Zhongdao: "You have to think clearly, this is a good thing that can be used to pass down the family!"
Wang Zhong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for reminding me. I also understand the truth. However, this thing is dead and people are alive. If the thing is gone, we can still think of ways in the future, but we have to live our lives now."
The old scholar looked Wang Zhong up and down, looking at Wang Zhong's old military uniform that was a little faded and had a few patches. He sighed, shook his head, and kindly reminded: "It can still be done within a month." Redeem it, but if it’s been a month, there’s nothing you can do!”
"If I can really redeem it, I will definitely come back to see you again!"
Wang Zhong said sincerely, this old man is quite enthusiastic, but unfortunately Wang Zhong has no intention of passing this thing down to his family. There are still more than ten pairs of bracelets like this lying in the space.
After receiving three thousand yuan, plus the post-retirement allowance and the wife's book that Liu Feng had saved over the years, Wang Zhong's pocket suddenly swelled.
The reason why Wang Zhong prepared these things in the space was to face situations like this.
In the next few days, Wang Zhong was out shopping, walking in the streets and alleys, asking around, and often went to the pigeon market.
It has been seventy-nine years now, and although reform and opening up has not yet begun, it is almost there. If he waits a few more years and wants to buy a house with the little money he has now, it will not be enough.
In July of this year, the policy of opening up to the outside world had just been implemented. In the city of Yanjing, many people who had heard the news and had a keen sense of smell had already gone south.
When people go south, they naturally need to prepare funds. Although most of them may have basic financial resources, there are inevitably some who don't have much cash and are eager to make money.
….This is a good time to start.
Wang Zhong was not in a hurry, since he still had time anyway, so he walked around the streets looking for Tian'er, went to the pigeon market, and asked the ticket dealers.
Wang Zhong was willing to give up the money, and several ticket sellers rushed to help Wang Zhong inquire about it.
After all, professionals have more connections. Wang Zhongxun searched for several days but found nothing, but the ticket sellers found several yards that were interested in selling to the outside world in just a few days.
Compare and choose.
I spent 3,200 yuan to buy a three-story yard on the edge of Xicheng City.
Wang Zhong didn't want to be so tired in this life, and he didn't want to be so busy that he was hanging upside down like in the human world.
In the future, when you have money, you can buy a few courtyard houses in Yanjing City, just below the Imperial City, and you will definitely make a profit without losing money.
Wang Zhong did not tell He Xiaoping directly about buying the yard, but wanted to give He Xiaoping a surprise after he decorated the yard.
On August 31st, He Xiaoping took a special day off to accompany Wang Zhong to the school to report.
Wang Zhong was riding a bicycle, and He Xiaoping was wearing a floral dress, sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, holding Wang Zhong's waist.
There were not many people at the beginning, but as the two got closer and closer to the school, the flow of people on the road gradually increased.
Although Wang Chong was not admitted to Yan University, he was inextricably related to Yan University.
Now it is called Yenching Medical College, and it will be renamed Medical University in the future. It is directly under the leadership of the Central Ministry of Health. However, its predecessor was just a department under Yenching University. In the next few decades, it will merge with Yenching University again and become The Medical Department under Yan University.
Of course, the current Yenching Medical College was separated from Yenching University and established independently after the nationwide adjustment of colleges and universities in 1952. Its history can be traced back to before the Revolution of 1911, which is quite long.
After Wang Zhong signed up, the two of them wandered around the nearby Yanda campus. He Xiaoping was a little tired by the famous Weiming Lake, so the two of them found a bench nearby and sat on it. , looking at the sparkling lake surface, admiring the scene of the lake and the sky.
"School will start soon. The school is so far away from our home. If you go back home to live, won't it take too long for you to go back and forth every day?"
He Xiaoping held Wang Zhong's arm and put her head on Wang Zhong's shoulder. She looked at the beautiful inexplicable lake in front of her and felt the cool autumn breeze blowing from the lake. She felt unprecedentedly calm and comfortable inside.
The Grand Courtyard is near the Second Hospital of the City, which is quite far from Yanda.
"Then we must live at home!" Wang Zhong said matter-of-factly: "We have just gotten married, so we should hurry up and have a child! If I live in school, wouldn't it be delayed!"
He Xiaoping's face turned red immediately after saying this. If there weren't many people around, He Xiaoping would have had to bury her head in Wang Zhong's arms.
"What are you talking about!"
"so many people!"
After saying that, He Xiaoping was so embarrassed that she directly hit Wang Zhong twice.
"Isn't this what you asked me to say?"
"You still said that!"
Wang Zhong chuckled and changed the topic: "By the way, what do you think about work? Although being a nurse is good, the work is too tiring and it is not a long-term solution."
"Isn't the nurse bad?" He Xiaoping frowned and looked at Wang Zhong in confusion.
...Wang Zhongdao: "It's not that the nurses are not good, it's that the nurses' work is too tiring and the hours are too long, and there must be night shifts. It's okay in the short term, but I can't bear to do it in the long term."
He Xiaoping knew that Wang Zhong cared about her, and she felt happy in her heart. But after thinking about it for a while, she asked doubtfully: "What can I do if I don't become a nurse?"
He said with some worry: "Besides, it's hard to find a job now."
He Xiaoping's words are not nonsense. As the educated youth who went to the countryside have returned to the city one after another, there are only so many jobs, one carrot after another. Now there are countless young people who have returned to the city and are unemployed at home. They have nothing to do and just wander the streets all day long.
He Xiaoping came back from the army, so it stands to reason that she should enter the hospital.
But the competition for jobs now is too great, and everyone wants to get into military hospitals. He Xiaoping has no background and no connections, so it is naturally difficult. Fortunately, He Xiaoping has performed well in the army and has been commended. Her resume is impressive enough. Only then was he assigned to the Municipal Second Hospital.
"Isn't it reform and opening up? If there are no suitable jobs, we will start our own business."
"Start your own business?" He Xiaoping didn't understand Wang Zhong's words. After all, she was used to the planned economy, but she immediately realized: "You mean we become self-employed?"
Wang Zhong nodded and said, "It almost means the same thing."
"Is this possible?" He Xiaoping was a little worried. Her father's experience was still before her eyes.
Wang Zhong held He Xiaoping's hand and comforted him softly: "It's no different now than before. Reform and opening up means more than just policies."
"If the country wants to be prosperous and strong, industry is the foundation and the economy is the catalyst. Now the reform and opening up in Shenzhen is in full swing, and I heard that the results are quite remarkable."
"Let's see!" Although He Xiaoping trusted Wang Zhong's words, He Xiaoping was a little worried about what the future situation would be like and how the situation would change.
Looking at He Xiaoping's expression, Wang Zhong couldn't guess her worries: "I just suggest that if you really like to be a nurse, I will definitely support you."
"Thank you, Liu Feng!" As soon as He Xiaoping finished speaking, a familiar but very surprised voice suddenly came from behind.
"Liu Feng? Xiaoping?"
Xiao Suizi had just finished reporting from the Literature Department, put her bedding and luggage in the dormitory, sent her father who sent her to register out of school, and rushed to Moming Lake impatiently.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked around the lake for a while, she saw two familiar figures on the bench not far ahead. When she got closer, she saw that they were Wang Zhong and He Xiaoping who had just said goodbye to her at the art troupe station in Spring City. Two people.
And looking at their intimate appearance, they look very much like a couple.
"tassel!"
"Xiao Suizi?"
Wang Zhong and He Xiaoping turned around and saw that the person who appeared in front of them was Xiao Suizi who had just parted ways.
"Why are you here?"
Xiao Suizi walked up to the two of them in surprise. Looking at the two people who were behaving intimately, her eyes trembled and her eyes suddenly shrank: "Are you married?"
Wang Zhong smiled and said: "I just received the certificate a few days ago."
"Congratulations!" Xiao Suizi looked at the intimate movements of the two and felt the sweet atmosphere between them. A smile appeared on her face involuntarily: "You have to make up for the wedding wine."
.... Xiao Suizi may be the only one among the Yingying Yanyan in the art troupe who doesn't have too much prejudice and ridicule towards He Xiaoping.
"Are you free today?" Wang Zhong asked.
"Today?" Xiao Suizi was completely unprepared.
"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. I think today is pretty good. Of course, if you are not free, then change it to another day!" Wang Zhong didn't mean anything else, he just said it casually.
Fortunately, Xiao Suizi has never experienced the baptism of the Internet.
"I'm free, of course I'm free!" Xiao Suizi was very happy. Wang Zhong was willing to invite her to drink the wedding wine between him and He Xiaoping. Even if it was just to make up for it, it was enough to make her happy.
"It's almost noon. If you're not afraid that we might abduct you, why don't you come with me later?" Wang Chong said with a smile.
Xiao Suizi was happy and not afraid: "There is nothing to be afraid of, you two are not tigers."
"Women are not inferior to men!" Wang Zhong gave a thumbs up: "She is indeed a female warrior of our art troupe."
"Let's talk about it first, the place we are going to is a bit far!"
"how far?"
"Almost across most of Yanjing!"
"That's okay! My family lives right next to Nanluogu Lane, so it's definitely not far from where we want to go."
"Let's go then!" Wang Zhong held He Xiaoping's hand, and Xiao Suizi walked beside He Xiaoping. The three of them walked side by side in the tree-lined avenue of Yanda campus.
"By the way, why did you two come to Yan University? You didn't come to see me specially, did you?" After chatting with Wang Zhong for a few words, Xiao Suizi's words also opened up.
"Look how beautiful you are!" Wang Zhong glanced at him sideways: "You are the only one who can go to Yanda, but we can't?"
He Xiaoping smiled and said nothing.
The smile on Xiao Suizi's face froze, and she turned to look back and forth between Wang Zhong and He Xiaoping: "You two are really here to sign up, right?"
He Xiaoping explained: "Liu Feng was admitted to the medical university next door, and I accompanied him to register."
"Medical University?" Xiao Suizi was really shocked. Medical University is the best among medical schools, no worse than Yanda.
Xiao Suizi never expected that Wang Zhong could be admitted to the Medical University.
"Liu Feng, how could you... why would you want to study medicine?" Although she was shocked that Wang Zhong was admitted to the medical university next door, Xiao Suizi was not a fledgling, she still knew a little about the world. , know what to say and what not to say.
Moreover, this question also confused her. Wang Zhong was a dancer in a cultural troupe. He knew some carpentry skills, was very capable, and was enthusiastic, but none of these had anything to do with studying medicine.
"Perhaps I have experienced too many life and death on the battlefield. Watching the young and fresh lives passing away quietly, I want to do something! But I think it is more probably curiosity and fear!"
"Afraid?" Xiao Suizi really didn't expect to hear such an answer from Wang Zhong.
A fighting hero who is brave and fearless on the battlefield, not afraid of life and death, and walks out in the hail of bullets, can actually be afraid.
Wang Zhong did not explain, but suddenly changed his voice: "In the past, the country was divided, foreign enemies were watching, the people had no faith, and they were all driven by the desire for profit. Mr. Lu Xun once said that studying medicine could not save the country, so he immediately gave up medicine and became a literary scholar. .
….And now, our country has ended that period of darkness and suffering. Our ancestors worked hard, poured their blood and flesh with their blood, and the red flag is flying over this land, in exchange for the current peace. A new and bright future is coming soon, faith is there, and the war is almost over. If you can practice medicine to save the world, wouldn't it be a good story? "
Looking at Wang Zhong with a narcissistic look on his face, Xiao Suizi could no longer hold back her laughter.
"The hanging pot helps the world and the common people, and the skillful hand brings rejuvenation with a sincere heart!"
After laughing, Xiao Suizi suddenly said two sentences: "Liu Feng is indeed the same Liu Feng as before."
"Thank you for your good words!" Wang Zhong returned the pretentious gesture and cupped his fists at Xiao Suizi.
Xiao Suizi smiled so brightly that she almost didn't close her lips.
"By the way, Xiaoping, have you changed your career now?" Instead of continuing to argue with Wang Zhong, Xiao Suizi was afraid that her stomach would hurt if she continued laughing, so she started chatting with He Xiaoping.
"Yes! In the Second Hospital of the City!" He Xiaoping changed from her usual sunny and carefree attitude when she was with Wang Zhong, talking about everything. When facing Xiao Suizi, she still felt a little knotty in her heart.
No one is perfect, and He Xiaoping is certainly not a saint.
The bicycles were left at school and the three of them got on the bus. Wang Zhong didn't even think about taking Xiao Suizi out to eat out. Now was the time to use money, so there was no need to waste it.
The couple took Xiao Suizi and ran straight to the market, bought a fish, and cut five kilograms of mutton. Xiao Suizi watched Wang Zhong chatting with the butcher, added some money, and bought four sheep bones and some More than a dozen pairs of sheep hooves filled a basket full, which made me a little stunned.
"Why did you buy so much? And there's not much meat at all." Xiao Suizi looked at the large frame Wang Zhong was holding in his hand with a puzzled expression.
"You don't understand, these are all good things!" Wang Chong said with a smile.
"Sheep bones can also be used to stew soup, but sheep hooves..." He Xiaoping rolled her eyes: "They are hard and have no meat. Will they be delicious when made?"
Wang Zhong chuckled and said, "Whose belly was full from the braised pork a few days ago, and she was lying on the kang, holding her belly, crying and feeling uncomfortable!"
He Xiaoping blushed, and Xiao Suizi was watching next to her, wishing she could find a crack in the ground and crawl in: "Oh!"
Xiao Suizi looked at this scene, and while she was happy for them, she was also a little envious in her heart.
The figure playing the trumpet appeared in my mind for no reason.
Then she felt a little sad in her heart. Wang Zhong and He Xiaoping were finally in love, but where was her Chen Can now?
After buying the vegetables, Wang Zhong and He Xiaoping took Xiao Suizi back to their den.
"Outside is the living room and kitchen, and inside is the bedroom. It's not big. It's only about forty square meters in total. It's pretty good everywhere, but there is no toilet, so you can only go to the public toilet outside." He Xiaoping introduced to Xiao Suizi.
If Wang Zhong had just crossed over, he would definitely not be able to adapt to this, but after staying in the army for nearly a year and getting used to collective life, Wang Zhong gradually got used to it.
Even when the war broke out at the beginning of the year, there was no toilet paper, let alone toilets. Wang Zhong always used sticks and leaves to solve the problem many times.
...Wang Zhong also gradually understood why the people who charged into battle and shed blood and tears under the hail of bullets and bullets were basically men. If a woman was replaced, personal hygiene alone would be a problem, among other things.
During the war, how could there be so much toilet paper in sufficient supply, but there was a lot of rain on the border in southern Yunnan, so it seemed that it could be washed directly with water.
"It's quite big!" Xiao Suizi was sitting at the square table, looking around the room, nodding her head, "Not bad, not bad!"
"Is this the house you rent?" Xiao Suizi asked curiously.
"The house in Xiaoping's work unit!" Wang Zhong said.
"Xiaoping, the treatment in your unit is too good, isn't it? You have just started working, and you are given such a big house?" Xiao Suizi was happy for He Xiaoping from the bottom of his heart.
"It's okay!" He Xiaoping blushed a little.
Wang Zhong said with a proud look on his face: "Well, don't even look at whose daughter-in-law she is!"
"Ouch!" Xiao Suizi became sour: "Let's see what you can do."
Wang Zhong still looked proud: "There is no way, the doctor said, I have a bad stomach and can't digest food that is too hard, so I can only eat softer food."
He Xiaoping didn't quite understand, and Xiao Suizi didn't react at first, but then an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of it.
Then he raised his hand to cover his mouth, and laughed like a child.
"Liu Feng, when did you become so thick-skinned?" Xiao Suizi couldn't stop laughing.
Wang Zhong said: "I have been through the gate of hell several times, why should I be so shameless?"
"I admire you! I admire you!" Xiao Suizi cupped her hands and said with a serious look on her face.
"Xiao Ping, you roll out the dumpling wrappers and I'll cut the meat. Suizi, you sit down first and help me make the dumplings later."
"I'm going to wash the side dishes!" Xiao Suizi volunteered. The celery needs to be selected first.
Wang Zhong was not polite to her, soaked in a bowl of pepper water, took the mutton and mutton ridge bones to the sink outside and washed them.
He Xiaoping is responsible for mixing and kneading the dough, and her movements are so skillful that it seems that she has done it frequently at home.
In fact, there are almost no girls in this era who can't cook. Even those who come from high-ranking families, regardless of gender, have basically helped in the kitchen under the guidance of their parents.
When I was in the art troupe, as long as it was a bag of dumplings, the director would call on everyone to help.
Wang Zhong first cut the sheep and scorpions into large pieces and blanch them in a pot with cold water.
Then cut the mutton into pieces, cut the celery washed by Xiao Suizi into mince, and cut the carrot into cubes.
Wang Zhong was skilled in swordsmanship and could move the sword like flying. Xiao Suizi felt that even the masters in the art troupe cafeteria might not be as capable as Wang Zhong in terms of swordsmanship alone.
Xiao Suizi's eyes were filled with brilliance.
Even the way he looked at Wang Zhong changed.
Mix the mutton with celery and carrots respectively, add various seasonings, and stir until even to make two kinds of meat fillings.
After adjusting the stuffing, Wang Zhong then fried the lamb and scorpion with heavy oil and heavy ingredients until slightly charred, then put it into a pressure cooker and stewed it on the stove.
Xiao Suizi helped He Xiaoping knead the dough into long strips and cut it into pieces.
He Xiaoping has a rolling pin in each hand, and her skills are extremely skillful. She presses the two dough balls with the palm of her hand and rolls them out, and the two dumpling skins are formed in just a few seconds.
…Wang Zhong didn’t go to help, but instead went to the pool outside to pick up the sheep’s hooves.
"Hey Xiao Liu, why did you buy so many sheep crest bones and sheep hooves? Although the sheep crest bones don't have much meat, they can at least make soup, but these sheep hooves of yours don't have much meat even though they taste strong. , it’s hard to do..."
The person who spoke was Aunt Wu from across the street. The last time they had a bowl of braised pork, Wang Zhong and He Xiaoping had marked Aunt Wu as a good boy.
But now when I look at it again, I see that this young man doesn’t know how to live his life.
"Aunt, it didn't cost a lot of money, so it was half sold and half given away." Wang Zhong said with a smile.
"It's half sold and half given away. I think you've just been deceived!" Aunt Wu shook her head and said with hatred: "When I look at you, I don't know how to live. You are still too young. With such a With the money, go buy some more pieces of pork belly and make noodles with soybean paste!"
"How many meals can I eat!"
"I didn't expect that." Wang Zhong gave a thumbs up: "Aunt Wu is still good at living. I will have to ask Xiaoping to learn more from you in the future."
Aunt Wu was so happy when she said this, she took Wang Zhong and taught her the secrets of living a good life.
After briefly cleaning the sheep's hooves, Wang Zhong took out a small stove from the house, which was filled with burning coal. He burned the sheep's hooves first, and then burned the iron tongs. If it turns red, use red-hot iron tongs to scald the wool dirt in the difficult-to-treat gaps on the sheep's hooves, and then clean it.
By the time Wang Zhong finished packing the sheep's hooves, He Xiaoping and Xiao Suizi's dumplings were also cooked.
It was just before three o'clock in the afternoon, and the three of them gathered at a table, eating dumplings and nibbling on the fragrant lamb scorpions.
"Liu Feng, I didn't expect you to have such skills!" Xiao Suizi gave Wang Zhong a thumbs up: "The filling of this dumpling is amazing!"
"If it's delicious, eat more!" He Xiaoping said.
Xiao Suizi was stunned, looking at He Xiaoping whose eyes were full of Wang Zhong, and seemed to understand something.
······
Time flies, and as the new year is approaching, the work at He Xiaoping Hospital is as usual, with no changes, but the relationship with colleagues is not bad.
Wang Zhong's first article has been serialized in Yanjing Publishing House for quite some time.
This time, Wang Zhong did not continue to use "Changjin Lake" and "Bright Sword" adapted in the human world, but used a new story - "My Brother's Name is Shunfu"
Because he is a new writer, the manuscript fee will naturally not be too high. However, because Wang Zhong's penmanship is sophisticated and his writing is extremely wonderful, the publisher still gave him a salary of twelve thousand words.
In less than half a year, Wang Zhong earned several thousand yuan in royalties alone.
Wang Zhong didn't use these thousands of dollars elsewhere, he spent them all on preparing a surprise for He Xiaoping.
On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, He Xiaoping came back from get off work looking very preoccupied, even eating a little absent-mindedly.
"Xiaoping, what's wrong? What happened?" Wang Zhong asked with concern.
He Xiaoping looked at Wang Zhong: "I met my mother in the hospital today!"
"Your mother?" Wang Zhong asked doubtfully, "Why did she go to the hospital? She didn't come all the way to see you, right?"
He Xiaoping shook her head and said, "She is going for a prenatal check-up!"
Wang Zhong somewhat understood He Xiaoping: "It is quite dangerous to have a baby at her age!"
He Xiaoping is already twenty-one this year, and her mother is in her forties, which doesn't mean she can't give birth, but at her age, she is already an advanced maternal age.
"Worried about her?" Wang Zhong looked at her and asked in a low voice.
He Xiaoping nodded.
Although He Xiaoping did not live well in her stepfather's house, she was not treated harshly. Her stepfather and mother did not miss out on her food and clothing, and even let her learn to dance.
Although He Xiaoping didn't like her stepfather's family, she didn't resent them. When she returned to Yanjing, she took Wang Zhong back home, brought gifts to meet her stepfather and mother, and told her that they were getting married soon. things.
"Well, I'll go out to buy some supplements tomorrow, and let's go see your mother together!"
The world of film and television starting from phototype films.
