Chapter 147: Making Trouble in Heaven

"Sister-in-law Zhao, why are you thinking about going to Pigeon Market?"

Li Yuanxun took out a licorice apricot and gave it to Xing'er to eat, and asked Widow Zhao.

Widow Zhao smiled and said: "Who has a little wealth in the past two years, who doesn't go to the pigeon market? In fact, I have been there several times, but these two times I always feel like someone is following me. Although I have a wrench on me, but in my heart I'm still a little scared. After thinking about it, I thought of asking you to help me. Don't you have a bicycle? Give me a ride. I won't let you run away in vain. For the food I bought, I will give you three kilograms of stick noodles!"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "In the pigeon market now, a pound of stick noodles can be sold for eight cents, right?"

In 1958, a pound of stick noodles cost only eight cents.

Widow Zhao curled her lips and said: "It seems you have never been to the Pigeon Market, Ba Mao? Ba Mao is already old! It's already one and a half pounds, and it's still going up! By the end of the year, the stick noodles will probably fly Go to three yuan. It better be better next year as you said, otherwise our family will not be able to survive. I heard that in rural areas in other provinces, one person only has about ten kilograms of rations a year. Oh my god, what are we doing these days? Pass……"

Li Yuan didn't want to bring up such a heavy topic, so he said: "Sister-in-law Zhao, please don't go... Don't be impatient. I'm going to go shopping tonight and you've been targeted. If you show up again, something will happen." If there is a conflict, it is better not to go. I will help you buy the stick noodles, and I will buy twenty kilograms first. Your family's ration, plus these twenty kilograms, should be able to last until the end of the month. I will come every month from now on, and you It's definitely not safe for a woman to go to the black market in the middle of the night. If something happens to you, your two children will not be safe."

Widow Zhao was slightly moved. After thinking about it, she thought it was okay, so she gave Li Yuan the money and refused to accept it.

After Widow Zhao left, Li Yuan collected the money. Of course he would not go to the pigeon market.

There are dragons and snakes mixed together, the closer it is before dawn, the darker it becomes.

A crazy person may not be able to do anything, but a person who is extremely hungry can really do anything.

Not to mention other people, if he saw that his wife and children were about to starve to death, he would also think of ways to take advantage of others.

Morality, humanity?

These people are going to starve to death, this is nothing!

Where better to start than outside the black market?

Although he has learned kung fu for two years and has some talent, he is still far from being invincible.

What's more, the number of guns in the country can be described as rampant.

I went to the black market blindly, and if I was shot in the dark, I wouldn't have any room to explain...

He has a negative system around him and can predict danger in most cases.

But it's not without flaws.

If someone is just hot-headed, has no hatred, and just wants to shoot for no reason, then he won't feel it.

At that time, wouldn’t it be unfair?

Although the possibility of this is slim, there are still certain risks after all.

So Li Yuan decided not to go, and went back to the grain dealer directly, selling a few catties of grain to Widow Zhao.

Because of the emergence of pressurized water wells, the extreme difficulties originally expected for rural families did not occur. This also resulted in the consumption of less than 80% of the food saved in the past three years.

The main reason is that the family feels sorry for him and does not want to eat more of the food he saved.

Every time I persuaded each other, I said that compared to other families, my family is already ten times better, and a hundred times better, so how can I prepare for a calamity year?

So there are still a few tons of grain in the space, and selling twenty or thirty catties a month to Widow Zhao is nothing.

Originally, he planned to mask his face and make up, and find a few old people and children to exchange food for some antiques.

Finally, after careful consideration, I felt that it was not necessary. In a few years, all the old things will be destroyed. Then send people to collect scraps to use as firewood. If you can collect a lot of them, just say that you want to light a fire. Why bother to do it yourself? risk……

"According to such a poor way of living, I don't know if I can live to one hundred and fifty in the future..."

Li Yuan laughed mockingly and continued reading.

It's just that he was overthinking. Five minutes after Widow Zhao left, there was another knock on the door. This time it was actually Yi Zhonghai and Da Ma who came here.

Li Yuan said "yo" and said happily: "Master, are you finally willing to take your pulse? Oh, that's right! Take good care of your body, and I will have a son with my aunt next year. How great! Come on, come on, Let me show you!"

Yi Zhonghai: "..."

Negative emotions from Yi Zhonghai +666!

The first mother forced a smile and said, "Yuanzi, it's not about this... Your uncle loves me because I'm old, and it's dangerous to have a child."

Li Yuan nodded and said: "That's right, this worry is not unreasonable. Older women are in danger at any time."

Yi Zhonghai's complexion improved a bit, and after coughing dryly, he sat down and said, "Yuanzi, the matter of Dongxu's family, should this be over?"

Li Yuan wondered: "This will never pass, and it has nothing to do with me, right? If Brother Zhuzhu hadn't provoked me today, I wouldn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs. They say that when a couple fights, they fight at the end of the bed. Hey, why are we, an outsider, getting involved?"

Yi Zhonghai took it seriously and said: "Who says it's not the case? That's the truth! I just say that what happened today is all caused by Zhu Zhu. It's no wonder that people call him Silly Zhu, because he messes in everything. I have already criticized him just now, and speaking of it, you young people are all in the same courtyard, and you should get along well."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Yes, the conditions have been more difficult in the past two or three years, otherwise our brothers would have been drunk and lost their sorrows. Can a group of young people still hold grudges?"

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Li Yuan with a complicated expression. It would be great if this was his child... Taking a step back, this child would be willing to listen to him and provide for him in his old age.

But he knew better that there was no need to even think about such a thing.

Clearing his throat again, Yi Zhonghai said: "Come here and sit down today. First, we will talk about the Jia family. Dongxu has already agreed. He will not do anything in the future and live a good life..."

Li Yuan snorted and said, "Master, please don't say anything. I'm really not interested in his family's affairs. He's so hungry that he doesn't even have the strength to swallow. If Dongxu hadn't scolded Brother Zhuzhu today, It was so cruel that I didn’t even want to say anything.”

Seeing his clear-cut attitude, Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's not talk about his family's affairs. The second thing is that your aunt wants you to have a meal at home every morning. Breakfast, although it is porridge, does not have many grains of rice, but it is better than cold water, right? Your aunt is soft-hearted. She has wiped her tears several times when she saw you pouring cold water in the courtyard. You didn’t even call me several times. Come on, we are here to call you today."

The eldest mother said earnestly: "The old lady in the backyard means the same thing. How can anyone pour three large ladles of cold water into their stomachs every day? We are old and have small appetites. You and your eldest uncle should eat more."

She knew that her wife agreed because she wanted to be able to control Li Yuan in the future.

The truth that cannibalism is short-tongued is unbreakable through the ages.

If Li Yuan went to her house to have breakfast for a while and dared to confront the uncle in the future, others would poke his spine.

But even so, Auntie wanted Li Yuan to come home for a hot meal.

She stood there pouring cold water every morning, and she couldn't stand it...

Li Yuan smiled and said: "If you don't say that aunt is my biological aunt, she is still thinking of me in this year. But aunt, I am really not being polite to you. Although I didn't eat this morning, when I got to school, my classmates But please treat me to a full meal. Think about it, most of those classmates in college have some backgrounds in their families. In addition, girls eat less, so each of them eats less, so I am full. "

The aunt looked even more worried at first, but she became happy when she heard it later and said, "Oh, I forgot about this. Just because of Genko's talented appearance, wouldn't it make other girls look after her?" If that’s the case, then I’ll be relieved, then I’ll be relieved.”

Yi Zhonghai felt a little depressed, why did this kid have such a good life, and there were women to support him everywhere.

The couple of them came to invite him to dinner, but he didn't go...

Too bad!

The couple sat for a while and then left. Li Yuan simply pasted a piece of paper "I'm studying, don't disturb" at the door, and the world finally became quiet...

…

"call……"

In the laboratory of Beijing Second Medical College, Li Yuan exhaled slowly, his eyes were a little straight.

He has never looked forward to the lottery draw like this moment, and for nothing else, he hopes to get a pipette.

Although the hope is a bit slim, I don't seem to have ever owned my own pipette in my memory, and I was messing around when I was doing experiments in college.

But if he remembered correctly, he lost the school money for breaking a pipette.

Should this be considered ownership?

The most direct manifestation of the progress of human science and technology is probably the progress of tools.

In the era without pipettes, the complexity of doing experiments was more than ten times higher.

Every time you take a sample and pipette, you must carefully determine such a small volume. The accuracy is difficult to guarantee, and it will take a lot of time.

What can be done with a pipette in five minutes takes two or three hours to grind. This is because he has the accuracy and stability in his hands.

Li Yuan is worried that sooner or later he will wear reading glasses...

There is also a bottle washing machine, which can be cleaned with one click. The bottle washing machine can perform main washing by heating and detergent, and then rinse with pure water, which is simple, efficient, time-saving and labor-saving.

Now...not to mention all manual work, it is also very easy to cause large errors due to pollution.

As for the centrifuge and the like, let alone think about it.

Now the centrifuges in colleges and universities across the country are probably sent to the Malan base...

To live a normal life, if you can make a living, you will make a living.

But when doing things related to science and technology, the strong sense of backwardness makes Li Yuan feel depressed.

He really wants to learn pharmacy well, not just be a hooker and draw out the instructions of medicines by lottery to shine, that would be boring.

But the current conditions are limited, it is too difficult to make progress...

"Student Li Yuan, why don't you look very happy? I just saw your experiment, and your chromatography technology is already very good."

The biochemistry laboratory teacher is a middle-aged male teacher, looking at Li Yuan and smiling.

Li Yuan naturally couldn't tell because the instrument was too backward. He smiled and said: "Teacher Qu, I heard that Huaqing has an atomic absorption spectrometer? It would be great if our college also had one."

The teacher shook his head helplessly and said: "What a beautiful idea! If there is no domestic production for one day, it will be our turn. Even if it is domestic production, we don't know how long it will be. It's a pity that we have fallen out with Lao Maozi, otherwise I would recommend you to go there They study there. The conditions of the university over there, we can hardly catch up with them in another fifty years, alas.”

Fifty years, huh...

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi are most appropriate for today.

Thirty years later, the old man is dead.

Of course, at that time it was still more developed than China.

Looking at it this way, fifty years is quite accurate...

After Li Yuan smiled and said goodbye to the teacher, he was stopped by the monitor as soon as he left the laboratory before taking off his white coat.

The squad leader is a girl named Qiu Rui, her family is from Sijiu City, and she lives in the Artillery Compound.

"What's wrong, monitor?"

Li Yuan asked politely.

Qiu Rui smiled and said, "Student Li Yuan, do you have something to do on Sunday?"

Li Yuan thought for a while and nodded, "It's okay. My son lost the fight with the kid last time. They will have another appointment this Sunday."

"Pfft!"

Qiu Rui couldn't help laughing, she couldn't hold back, she punched Li Yuan on the arm, and said, "Stop coming!"

Li Yuan smiled and said nothing. Qiu Rui rolled her eyes at him and said: "Our compound's auditorium will show the color cartoon movie "Havoc in Heaven" this Sunday. If you have time, you can bring your wife and son with you. , I'll take you in."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said "Yo": "Color movies? Are there any cinemas outside?"

"Havoc in the Sky", this is a classic among classics!

It's actually a movie from 1961...

Qiu Rui shook her head and said: "Not yet, it will probably take a while."

Li Yuan sighed and said: "Forget it. Monitor, thank you for your kindness, but I won't go. The people in the compound are different from the people outside. I think you know that they are not happy either. Too much contact with people outside."

It's not that they are inherently bad, but they have been in a good environment since childhood, and no matter how hard it is for outsiders to eat, they still have a stutter.

It is understandable that at times like this, the more important it is to ensure the stability of the military first.

Naturally, when looking at people outside, they have a condescending gaze.

This is due to human nature. Li Yuan doesn't blame it, but he can't understand it. Just stay well.

Qiu Rui smiled and said, "You can trust me. I will take you in personally. No one will do that."

Li Yuan looked sideways when he heard this. The boss of the artillery seems to be named Qiu now?

However, he still held up his hands and said: "Thank you, but no need. The fight on Sunday is related to my son's dignity as a man, and I can't break the appointment. Monitor, take your leave."

Amidst Qiu Rui's helpless laughter, Li Yuan walked away.

Looking at his back, Qiu Rui showed admiration in her eyes, and then sighed with regret...

…

In No. 5 Beixincang Courtyard, Lou Zhentao and Tan Yuemei are also here today.

Seeing the two old men loving Li Xing in every possible way, Li Yuan smiled.

The eldest and second eldest children of the Lou family have children, but they are not here. Lou Xiu has not yet given birth, and currently the only grandson of the Lou family, Li Xing, is in Beijing.

In this year, Lou Zhentao tried his best to find four large boxes of imported milk powder for Li Xing.

After sitting down and talking for a while, Li Yuan went to cook.

It was a simple home-cooked meal, but Lou Zhentao and Tan Yuemei were full of praise for it.

After the meal, Tan Yuemei looked at Li Yuan and exclaimed: "Yuanzi, you actually learned Tan's cooking and cooked it so well. It's amazing."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "It's nothing. Ezi likes to eat, glutinous rice balls, and third sister also likes to eat. I just learned a few more dishes."

Tan Yuemei looked at her favorite daughter. After looking at her for a while, she was very satisfied and said, "It's a lot plumper."

Lou Xiu was embarrassed and said: "Mom, what are you talking about? Where are you fat..."

Tan Yuemei smiled and said, "I mean, it's a good thing. I didn't say you became fat."

Li Xing actually understood this sentence and kept shouting "fat smash" and "fat smash".

The family laughed.

Compared to the suffering in the world outside, the laughter in this small courtyard is really rare.

Seeing that Lou Zhentao seemed to have something to say, Li Yuan invited him to sit in the study.

Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, Lou Zhentao got straight to the point: "Yuanzi, do you have any Shenglong Pills? I have a friend who needs it urgently!"

Li Yuan: "..."
