"Aunt Wang, I've come to see you. Have you eaten?"
After leaving Nanluogu Lane and going south for more than 300 meters, it is Mianhuahu Alley. Director Wang's house in the street is a single courtyard house with a waiter in it. Li Yuan knocked the door open and said in a solemn manner.
Director Wang, whose name is Wang Yamei, looked at Li Yuan in surprise. Hearing his words, he smiled angrily and said, "Don't pretend to be worldly wise!"
Li Yuan smiled with shame and said, "My Shifu said that although we live by technology, we still need to learn some worldly wisdom. Otherwise, no matter how advanced our medical skills are, we will have bad luck."
Why do people like Zhao Yehong, who are cold and unsophisticated, think that worldly wisdom is important? Let's start with the tragic situation of traditional Chinese medicine.
In addition to the conflict between TCM and western medicine, the internal conflict among the major schools of TCM can also be described as quite tragic.
Zhao Yehong asked Li Yuan to learn more about worldly wisdom, which was also because he saw many famous doctors at the national level, and his fate was sad because of his lack of human feelings.
Wang Yamei is the street director of Huangchenggen. Naturally, she doesn't know this. She smiled and said, "It's good to learn a little."
As he stepped in, he found Li Yuan was holding something in his hand. He said unhappily, "What are you doing, Xiao Li?"
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Aunt Wang, this is not for you."
Wang Yamei was surprised, but she didn't believe him. She said, "If you don't give me a gift, you can carry our house? You didn't mean to give it to me. Take it away later!"
Looking at Wang Yamei's serious face, Li Yuan said with a smile: "I happened to meet a fellow villager on my way here, and he was carrying two crucian carp. It's also strange that the ice in the moat has not been unfrozen completely. I don't know where they fished the crucian carp, which is still alive. I heard that my sister-in-law was in the middle of the month. Aunt Wang, you are also looking for eggs everywhere. This egg is not as good as crucian carp soup. I bought it without authorization.
I gave this fish to my sister-in-law. It's said that my elder brother didn't come back after serving in the army for the Spring Festival? The eldest brother is a hero who went to the east to fight Laomei. My sister-in-law is at home for the confinement. I will do my best, right? Of course, if you want to have a clean conscience and a reputation as an honest and upright official, you can pay me two cents for fish. "
Wang Yamei said with an angry smile, "Nonsense again! What are you doing with your two cents? OK, I will accept your love and thank you for your elder brother and sister-in-law!" After a pause, she said, "Xiao Li, you said that you are so good at talking, and what kind of sophistication do you want to learn? Did you just make fun of me? No wonder I heard about it in the street, and your son is wilting!" This was a reaction.
Li Yuan complained: "Heaven and earth, conscience! You go to our hospital to inquire about my reputation. I don't know how good it is. I ate steamed buns myself, got half a kilogram of pork, and returned it to the deaf old lady in the backyard to make braised pork noodles to improve her life. After seeing a doctor in the neighborhood, I confiscated the money!"
Wang Yamei was surprised and said, "I know you can't pay for a doctor's visit. Why do you eat steamed buns and braised pork for the deaf old lady?"
Li Yuan said, "An old man in our hospital said that the deaf old lady had made shoes for both the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army. I admire such old comrades most. They have suffered so much for the country and the people in their early years. Now they can't suffer any more. I can't do much..."
Wang Yamei talked a little, but her eyes softened when she looked at Li Yuan. She said, "The deaf old lady in your hospital has a special situation. You don't have to do that in the future."
After they entered the living room in the north room and sat down, Li Yuan said in surprise, "Isn't she? Can't she? That country still gives her five yuan a month?"
Let's not talk about low-income families and five guarantee families. That was the policy that came into being after the 1980s.
How can the current national strength afford so many orphans and widows
Yi Zhonghai is not reckless, and other quadrangle residents are not all fools. Don't they dare to publicize it?
Moreover, in the current situation, almost every household in the street has been found out, and it is impossible not to know which quadrangle is blowing what wind.
So Li Yuan is really uncertain about the identity of the deaf old lady.
Wang Yamei shook her head and said, "It's hard to explain what's going on here for a while. Just don't bully the lonely and widowed old people. Don't care about anything else."
Li Yuan had a clear idea and nodded, but he had other purposes, not really just to respect the elderly
Wang Yamei took the "bag" made of straw rope in Li Yuan's hand, opened her eyes, and a fresh smell of soil came to her face. She said happily, "It's really fresh fish, too good. It's good to stew a crucian carp soup in the evening, so it's easy to milk... Xiao Li, you sit and drink tea, and I'll put the fish in the kitchen. I'll make delicious food for you at noon!"
Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Aunt Wang, please hurry to do something for you. Don't be polite. Besides, I really have something to do at noon today. I have to go to my master's house, and my master is waiting for me at home. It was not easy to coax my master to relax and would like to teach me some skills. I have to go and study hard! Next time, I will try your skills again..."
Hearing what he said, Wang Yamei was somewhat helpless. It can be seen that he learned so much and was also somewhat pleased. He said, "You have a good idea, son. You can say everything! You have to go at noon, but not at night."
Li Yuan said with a smile, "It was also agreed yesterday. It's not easy to change it." He said aside, "By the way, Aunt Wang, I have moved. Although the house is still living, I want to repair it. I will take my parents to live for some days later. My mother cried when they came to see the gatehouse where I lived the year before last. Now I'm a full member, and I have some spare money in my hand. I'm all well organized, so that the old people in my family can be relieved. You must know where there are reliable craftsmen near us... "
Wang Yamei said with a smile, "You know, it's easy to do this. Our street has its own engineering team, which is convenient. You should have this heart, and filial piety is good. In this way, I don't have anything to do after dinner at night, so I'll show people around."
Li Yuan hurriedly said, "Thank you, Aunt Wang! I will feel much more at ease if you show up. It took me several years to build this house. It's not easy, but I have to fix it firmly."
When Wang Yamei saw what he said frankly, she became more fond of him and said with a smile, "It will be much better in the future. You are the only one in the city. With your salary of thirty-seven yuan and five yuan a month, plus some welfare subsidies from the hospital, you can't spend all the money. Can you make up the money now? If it's not enough, I'll borrow it from you first, and pay it back later. Anyway, I'm not worried about you."
People's hearts are mutual. When Li Yuan saw someone selling crucian carp on the road and thought of her daughter-in-law's confinement, she accepted the favor.
Li Yuan said with a smile, "It's enough to help. I followed my Shifu out of the clinic several times, but my Shifu refused to accept all the gifts."
Wang Yamei said, "Well, I'll take people to have a look at it at night. If it's not overhauled, it will be ready in a week or so."
……
From Wang Yamei's home, Li Yuan went straight to the Beijing Department Store, took the bicycle ticket given by Zhao Yehong, and spent another 140 yuan to buy a Phoenix bicycle.
At present, bicycles are a rarity, mainly because tickets are hard to get and money is easy to say.
Of course, it will not become a Mercedes Benz or a BMW for later generations, otherwise it would be outrageous for a cook in a worker's canteen to buy a BMW for his sister to drive to school
Out of the Beijing Department Store, I found a car repair shop and spent fifty cents to make people tighten the spokes and parts of the bicycle all the time. Then I went to the police station and smashed the steel seal on the door. Then I rode to the Black Sesame Hu near Beihai.
When passing a driverless intersection, two bags were added to the handlebars of the bicycle, one bag was a four-color snack, and the other bag contained two kilograms of mutton.
Arriving at the Sun's home in Black Sesame Alley, Li Yuan opened the door himself and pushed the bike in together.
He has been here too many times, and he is no stranger at all.
Just entering the front yard, I saw a girl in a cotton padded jacket with two ponytails. A girl of 14 or 15 years old was standing beside the screen wall and scolding a boy of 7 or 8 years old.
When the little boy saw Li Yuan's appearance, it was like seeing the great savior. He shouted excitedly, "Brother Yuanzi is coming!"
The boy's name is Sun Jianguo. He is the same age in the Republic. At his age, there are thousands of people with that name.
This is Zhao Yehong's youngest son. He is just the age when people hate dogs. He looks like a monkey.
Just grab the handlebars of Li Yuan's car and grab the two bags to see what's delicious.
The girl was his second sister, Sun Yueling. On the fifteenth day of this year, when he saw his younger brother being so rude and his beautiful little face twisted, he picked up a piece of tree from the ground and whipped Sun Jianguo.
The boy was very skinny and forced himself against the pain on his buttocks. He also took off the two bags on Li Yuan's handlebar. He bared his teeth in pain but still said happily, "Wow! The snack box in Daoxiangcun has jujube cakes and ox tongue cakes! Brother Yuanzi, be particular!" He opened another bag and found it was meat. He was also happy: "mutton!! You can have a good taste today... Ouch!"
Seeing that the tree bar had already been pulled from his head, Sun Jianguo was frightened and ran away with two bags in his hand, making faces while running.
When Sun Yueling suddenly raised her hand, Sun Jianguo said "Ouch" again. When she fell back, she ran away without fear of pain.
Sun Yueling's eyes were red with anger. Standing there, her chest heaved violently, and she didn't forget to blame Li Yuan: "Brother Yuanzi, you let him be so rude? You kick him! Or my mother will blame you later!"
Li Yuan said with a smile, "It's the naughty age. He will be embarrassed if you let him be so naughty in two years."
Calculate his age. Ten years later, the boy just stepped on the threshold of going to the mountains and countryside. There are many good days.
Seeing Sun Yueling's disobedience, Li Yuan turned his hand over and stretched out, laughing, "Look what this is?"
Sun Yueling was still angry, but when she saw something in Li Yuan's hand, she couldn't move her eyes. She blushed and said with surprise, "Ah! Brother Yuanzi, where did the big white rabbit come from?"
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Where do you care? Eat quickly, and then Jianguo will grab it again."
Sun Yueling then shyly took the milk candy from Li Yuan, opened it and put it in her mouth. Her sweet eyes almost melted. Looking at Li Yuan, she said in a small voice: "My elder sister came today. My mother is angry inside. Brother Yuanzi should be careful."
Hearing the words, Li Yuan was shocked and said, "Sister Yuexiang is back?"
Sun Yuexiang is the eldest daughter of Sun Da and Zhao Yehong. She is very gentle and beautiful. Her work unit is also good. She is a lecturer in the university.
Everything was very good. It happened that four years ago, because of the story of a dog's blood hero saving the beauty, he fell in love with a coolie who pulled a rickshaw in Qianmen Street.
This is totally unacceptable to the Sun family and Zhao Yehong.
But Sun Yuexiang bit her dead and decided to follow the man. As a result, neither Sun Da nor Zhao Yehong allowed Sun Yuexiang to come back after they were married.
Sun Yuexiang is also tough. He will not come unless he comes to the door. However, the man is also unlucky. He gave birth to a daughter just the second year of marriage, and died unexpectedly. Sun Yuexiang and a daughter were left behind, along with an old woman who was ill in bed and a younger brother and sister who were still at school
In a word, the life that was barely passable reached a very difficult point.
Even so, Sun Yuexiang has been gritting her teeth for two years.
But I don't know why I suddenly came here today.
Most likely, I can't live any longer
This kind of housework is the most troublesome. Even honest and upright officials can't be broken, let alone an outsider?
Li Yuan wanted to turn around and walk back, but he also knew that it was inappropriate to run away at this moment.
Zhao Yehong and even Sun Da are very good to him. They don't think of him as an outsider. He is now hiding away from home.
Master and apprentice father and son, master and apprentice father and son, when master has something to do, turn around and run away, then what about master and apprentice father and son?
Unable to help, Li Yuan and Sun Yueling went to the main house together after putting up their bicycles.
