Although the price is lower than before, you can still earn a few hundred yuan by translating a book, which can greatly reduce the financial burden on your family. Bai Narcissus is quite satisfied with this.
Gong Linglong is actually a little moved. She is also proficient in English, has a professional level of CET-8, and speaks fluently. She has no problem talking to foreigners. However, the original owner has never been exposed to English. If her mother finds out about her submission, she will not be able to explain it later. On the contrary, it will make the mother suspect her abnormality, which will affect the relationship between mother and daughter.
Therefore, this idea only passed through her mind for a moment, and then she gave it up.
After the mother and daughter finished eating, Gong Linglong asked Director Yang to borrow the unit's tricycle and sent her mother and the heavy package to the nursing home.
The old leader was particularly enthusiastic and generous. All the goods sent by his comrades in the mail were delicacies from the Northeast. Before Gong Linglong left, he stuffed half a bag of hazelnuts, pine nuts and pecans.
When she returned to the unit on a tricycle, she saw everyone except Secretary Yan talking in the warehouse. She walked over with a cloth bag and gave everyone two handfuls of the gift the old leader had given her.
Director Yang told her the news he had just received, "Linglong, I just met Director Qin outside and heard him say that Yu Nan remembered the identity of the two teenagers who beat her and Meng Xiaoying. Now the Public Security Bureau is doing its best to investigate and arrest them."
Gong Linglong's eyes moved slightly and he quickly asked: "Aren't these two teenagers gangsters? Are they the ones who have a grudge against them?"
"They are not gangsters. Their grandfather is a well-known doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. He was once a university professor at the National Medical College in Kyoto. Later, due to various reasons, the whole family was sent to the Seoul Lake District for labor reform."
"It must have been four or five years ago that I heard that certain orders were issued from above, asking this professor of traditional Chinese medicine to hand over academic materials and drug formulas. He refused on the grounds that they were ancestral formulas."
"The person in charge of supervising the matter at the time was Meng Xiaoying's father, Meng He. He had just been promoted and was eager to make meritorious deeds. He was aggressive in doing things and had a big conflict with the family. He seriously injured the professor's wife and almost killed her."
"This family is a hard-nosed family who would rather die than surrender. Later, they were given other labels and sent to the northwest labor camp. I don't know how they returned to Seoul recently."
When Gong Linglong heard that this professor was from the National Medical College of Beijing, her mother should know him. Thinking that these professors of traditional Chinese medicine were being persecuted in this way, she felt particularly uncomfortable. She asked without leaving any trace: "How did Yu Nan suddenly remember it?"
"Their whole family's jobs were gone, and there was no source of income. She was seriously injured and had a lot of expenses, and Western medicine was expensive. She just thought about taking Chinese medicine to treat her, and suddenly she thought of Professor Shui."
"I heard that those two young men look a lot like Professor Shui. The Yu family and Meng Xiaoying met Professor Shui's family when they were in Seoul."
After talking about this, a group of people started working. When they returned to the office, Director Yang arranged the work tasks for the two days, "Linglong, the last batch of supplies has been distributed, and it should have arrived at various relief units now. You should pay a return visit two days ago to confirm, and if it hasn’t been distributed yet, please urge the street to get it done as soon as possible.”
"Okay, I'll go out for a return visit now." Gong Linglong immediately packed his things.
"You can go back directly when you get off work. When the visit is over, come back and give me a unified report." After Director Yang finished speaking, he took the folder and went to Secretary Yan's office for a meeting.
Gong Linglong took advantage of the convenience of going out and first rode a bicycle to the nursing home. She had been here a lot. The receptionist already knew that she was a public employee and asked her to register her information according to the procedure and let her in.
"Linglong, why are you here again?"
Bai Narcissus was cupping the leader in the room. When he learned that she was coming, he immediately ran out to meet her during his free time.
"Mom, Director Yang just told me that Yu Nan has confirmed the identity of the teenager who beat them. They are..."
When she finished speaking, Bai Narcissus' complexion changed drastically, "Linglong, are you sure? Is your surname Shui?"
"Director Yang said his surname was Shui, but I didn't ask for his name carefully. Mom, do you know this professor?" Gong Linglong asked hurriedly.
"I know him. He is my mentor. There is only one professor named Shui at the National Medical College in Beijing, named Shui Tingyi."
Thinking about what happened to her teacher, Bai Narcissus felt very sad. She pointed at the back of her hand and said quickly: "The burn ointment that Jingchuan brought back last time is the ancestral secret medicine of Professor Shui's family."
"Mom, I understand, you can continue to work."
"I saw that boy last time I went to the black market. I'll try my luck. I'll call Brother Jing and ask him to ask someone to check."
Bai Narcissus was very worried about the teacher's family, but she couldn't live without people here. He took her arm and whispered: "Linglong, I leave it to you to find them. If you can see the Shui family, you can tell them that you She is Gong Wantang’s daughter and Gong Kaizhou’s granddaughter.”
Gong Linglong finally knew her mother's real name and smiled when she heard this: "Mom, your name is really nice."
Bai Narcissus twitched the corners of his lips, and there was a hint of pain in his smile, "The name your grandma gave me."
"Mom, wait a minute, it's almost time. You'll be able to use your real name soon."
Gong Linglong comforted her and said nothing else. She hurriedly said, "Mom, you go to work. I'll call Brother Jing now."
"Okay, please be safe."
Lu Jingchuan was in the military area today. After receiving a call from his wife, he agreed to help find the person without saying a word. After arranging the training tasks at hand, he immediately called the army's jeep and came to the city.
After Gong Linglong called him, she went to the black market invisibly. She didn't see the young man, so she had to go to work first.
After getting off work at 5:30, Gong Linglong rushed to the door of the state-owned store, where she had made an appointment with Lu Jingchuan on the phone.
Lu Jingchuan arrived five minutes later than her, driving a jeep, "Linglong, get in the car first."
Gong Linglong opened the car door and sat down, taking an apple from her backpack and giving it to him, "Brother Jing, eat an apple."
"You eat, I'm not hungry."
Lu Jingchuan didn't answer, thinking that she had had a hard day at work, and said, "Mom said apples are nutritious, so you should eat more."
"I just bought two kilograms at the state-owned store and ate one."
Gong Linglong thrust the apple into his hand. In fact, the apple was grown in space. She could pick it fresh whenever she wanted. She immediately asked about business: "Brother Jing, have you found it?"
"I went to the Public Security Bureau and asked my friends to inquire. The names of the suspects registered in the case are indeed Shui Hongjie and Shui Hongbin, Shui Tingyi's grandsons."
"Their family lived a very hard life in the northwest. Professor Shui's wife was seriously injured by Meng He and did not seek medical treatment in time. Over the years, she was almost paralyzed in bed and relied on medicine to survive. His daughter was also in poor health and was seriously ill. Surgery was necessary and he had no choice but to contact his old friends for help.”
"It's unclear which old friend I contacted. I can only confirm that they returned to Seoul in the middle of last year. Their specific residence has not yet been found."
"I've asked someone to check. He will notify me as soon as he has any news. Let's wait for now."
