Chapter 390 A Little Help

"I'm telling you, you haven't been there, so you don't know, the capital is so good. My dad took me and my mom to eat roast duck after we got off the bus, and we found a hotel. Oh, it was so delicious... We also sent my mom to Beijing University, that school is really good, I want to apply to Beijing University in the future... We went to the Great Wall, which Chairman Mao said was not the Great Wall for men, it's so long, the bricks are so big... The place where the emperor lives is called the Forbidden City..."

In the old Zhou family, the adults were eating on the kang in the east room, and in the west room on the other side, a few children who were not eating properly were eating together, eating the things Wang Yan brought back from the capital, and listening to Wang Jianye, who had just returned and was eager to show off despite his fatigue, gesticulating with that.

Li Suhua ate the dishes with a smile: "Hey, you guys don't say, Jianye's little mouth is quite clear, listening to me makes me want to go."

"Then go, aunt. It's just a little more than half a day from Jichun to Beijing. Leave in the morning and arrive in the afternoon."

"Hey, I just said that. Why are you still tossing around with your old arms and legs?" Li Suhua smiled and said: "Bingyi and Zhou Rong have also been admitted to Beijing University. Have they arrived? Didn't you see them this time?"

"I saw Brother Bingyi. He went there the day after we arrived. We had dinner together last night. He said Zhou Rong and others would arrive this morning, but I had already bought the tickets and the patients in the hospital could not be delayed, so I didn't see them."

While drinking a small glass of wine with a smile, Zhou Bingkun, who was drunk, frowned: "My elder brother left so early? Why didn't he stop with Jichun and come back to see him? Besides, sister Dongmei had to go home too, right? He went straight to Beijing without seeing her off?"

Li Suhua rolled her eyes at her old son: "Isn't summer vacation just a few months away? He can't stay for a few days this time. Why bother? Just go directly. It doesn't matter if you leave a few days."

"No one knows a son better than his mother, aunt, that's what he said. He said he would stay for two days and then leave, and you felt uncomfortable. Just wait for the big reunion during the summer vacation and come back, everyone will be happy." Wang Yan smiled and said, "He left on his own. Sister Dongmei had some things to deal with there, and she would start school a little later, so they didn't go together."

Zhou Bingkun hummed and said nothing. Although his mother said that, the disappointment in her eyes could not be hidden, and he saw it clearly. It's normal to think that if you don't enter the house, there won't be so many things.

"Look, how can I not know what he thinks?" Then, the smiling Li Suhua changed his face and glared at his old son: "What are you humming about?"

"No, brother, Juan'er, look, I am standing up for her, but she is bullying me in return, how wronged I am."

Zheng Juan pursed her lips and smiled: "Hurry up and eat your meal."

Wang Yan also smiled: "Okay, it's only a few months or so, and the aunt said that those few days are not a big deal."

This thing is not that he is trying to sow internal unity in the old Zhou family. If Li Suhua asked, he would tell the truth. If not asked, he would not take the initiative to mention it. Even if he didn't say it, when Zhou Bingyi came back, he might tell it himself.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Li Suhua sighed: "Xiaoyan, Jing'er went to Beijing to attend university. You two can't live well at home. Jianye is not old enough to go to school. He is just naughty. Why don't you come back to live here? It's not like there is no place. The children have company to play with here, and you can have a hot meal when you get home from get off work, saving you the trouble of running back and forth."

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Okay, auntie, I'll go back to get some things tonight, and come over to sleep with Guangming in the west room tomorrow. It's nearby, so I can give him some extra lessons."

Zheng Guangming, who was eating quietly, looked up at the sound, smiled at Wang Yan, and continued to eat his meal without saying a word.

Zhou Bingkun raised his glass and said, "That's good. Come on, brother, let's have a drink. You moved out in 1973, and it's been more than four years. If you look at it this way, my sister-in-law was right to go to college, right, mom."

"Look at what you said. Jing'er was right to go to college. You said that, as if Jing'er was getting in your way."

"Okay, I'm offended today. I won't say anything. Brother, let's drink."

Next door, a group of kids were listening to Wang Jianye's bragging with envy. Here, a family was having a happy dinner. Outside the window was the biting cold north wind of early spring. Inside the house was the warm atmosphere of the world, a peaceful and beautiful life...

The next day, Wang Yan returned to the hospital to start treating the patient who had been waiting for half a month and was already anxious. In the evening, he went home to get some clothes for Wang Jianye and moved back to Old Zhou's house.

On the fourth day after he returned to Jichun, he arrived at the hospital early in the morning and saw Hao Dongmei looking at him awkwardly at the door of the clinic.

"Sister-in-law Dongmei, when did you come back?"

"I came back the day before yesterday. There were a lot of things going on over there, so I came back a little late. After I came back, there were a lot of things to report. I was so busy until today that I didn't have time to go back to see my mother-in-law and Bingkun."

"Why rush? We will be in Jichun from now on. We can see each other anytime. I will talk to my aunt when I go back tonight and see when you have time to go back for dinner. Brother Bingyi has told me about your situation before. Come in and I will take a look at you first."

Hao Dongmei looked at the patients who were looking at her unhappily at the door, smiled at them apologetically, and followed them into the clinic.

The patients were unhappy, but they understood. After all, they called her sister-in-law and had to go home for dinner. The relationship must be close. Of course, even if they didn't understand, they could only hold it in, so they understood.

Wang Yan and Hao Dongmei didn't talk that much, and they weren't very familiar with each other. The last time they met was during the Spring Festival two years ago, she and Zhou Bingyi left within a few days. This is the second time we meet, and we are here to see a doctor. Even if we are familiar with each other, we can't tell anything. After all, this disease is not something else. Therefore, the two of them did not gossip and entered the room to directly check their pulse and ask about their symptoms.

She fell into the cold well water in winter, which caused amenorrhea. Wang Yan took a look at it, took a pen to write a prescription on the paper, and then handed it to her: "I'll give you a prescription first, and then I'll get it." Some moxibustion, some moxibustion at night before going to bed... Pay attention to it... After three days, you come over in the afternoon and I will give you acupuncture treatment. "

Hao Dongmei took the prescription and put it away, and asked hopefully: "Wang Yan, can I be cured?"

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "I can't say enough about the treatment. I can only say that there is hope. Let's treat it first and see how it goes."

"I know too, I just couldn't help but want to ask." Hao Dongmei stood up with a wry smile: "Okay, you are so busy, then I won't disturb your work. Tell your mother-in-law that I will go there this Sunday and leave first. ”

Hao Dongmei had been back for three days and did not visit the old lady. Of course it was unjustifiable. Where can I be really busy and have no time? I just don’t want to go and I habitually procrastinate. Throughout the whole play, she actually doesn't have much close contact with the old Zhou family.

This is normal. After all, her family's conditions are so good that it would be difficult for her to blend in, regardless of whether she likes her or not. It's also a matter of fact that her parents never met Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua until their death. It was difficult for Zhou Bingyi to do it, and it was also difficult for her to do it. But she still couldn't control her biological father and mother, and she was so angry that she couldn't change much, so that was all. Just meet less on weekdays and think less about those bad things.

In the play, Li Suhua was originally paralyzed on the kang at this time. Although she did not express it, I think she only went there a handful of times during the period when Li Suhua woke up. So it's the same now, even if there aren't that many things going on, I won't go there.

"Next."

Without thinking any more, Wang Yan called in the patients waiting outside and started the day's work...

In the evening, when he returned home, Wang Yan told Zheng Juan about the matter. Li Suhua just smiled and asked Zheng Juan to buy meat and vegetables in the past two days and prepare meals for Sunday.

Of course, this attitude goes without saying, instructing the older son's daughter-in-law to welcome the eldest son's daughter-in-law as a guest. Except for those who are very self-centered, the distance between people can generally be perceived.

And to be honest, Li Suhua was also unfamiliar with Hao Dongmei. Before going to the mountains and countryside, Hao Dongmei came twice. Then, during the Spring Festival of 1976, she had not seen her since then, and it was not possible to get close to her.

Of course, this did not delay Li Suhua's enthusiasm for Hao Dongmei. When the people came on Sunday, they showed great concern. We talked from noon to afternoon, laughing and joking, and very sincerely asked her to have dinner and stay one night.

However, Hao Dongmei had to go to school the next day, and Guangzi was still a little far away from her home, so it was difficult to walk when it was dark, so she rode her bicycle home without having dinner.

In the evening, the family gathered around the table to eat, and the little ones ate in a mess. Li Suhua smiled and told them not to be impatient. Zheng Juan gave them a few taps one by one to keep them honest. Wang Yan drank with Zhou Bingkun. Little wine.

Li Suhua couldn't help but sigh: "Dongmei still doesn't get along very well with us. You're too polite."

"Mom, don't think about it. It's my brother and sister Dongmei who live together, not us. You also said that since my brother and sister left in 1969, they really left. Besides, sister Dongmei The conditions at home are not on the same level as those of ordinary people like us, so it’s great that she can do this.”

"That's true, but it's hard on Bingyi. I guess he won't feel well over there either."

"The book says that without desire, one must be strong. It means that if a person has no purpose and does not rely on others, then there is nothing to fear. If my eldest brother has no other intentions, he will be fine."

"What do you want from your eldest brother? When he married Dongmei, Dongmei's parents were still raising cattle in the south. Besides, we can't ask them. If we don't cause trouble to your eldest brother, isn't this just the end of the world? ”

"Okay, aunt, you have spoken. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Brother Bingyi will not come back in the future. After all, it is them who live their lives. Come and eat." Wang Yan said with a smile: "But Bingkun has made progress recently. What he said It’s all said in the book?”

Zhou Bingkun grinned: "Isn't it true that all my family members have gone to college, so I have no future? I think that if you don't go to college, you won't go to college. You can't be uneducated, right? It's another cabinet of books, which is easy to read. Isn’t it just a matter of watching and learning and improving?”

Li Suhua couldn't help but shook her head: "You, I wish you had such energy back then."

"I just want to improve my own ideological consciousness without thinking about anything else. It's different from when I was in school. Now I can be regarded as living and learning."

"Go on, how old are you to live to be old? Wait until you are my age before you say this."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Zheng Juan, who was sitting at the door taking care of her children, got up and went to the outer room to open the door. Soon, Zheng Juan's voice sounded: "Bingkun, come here."

"Who is it?" Zhou Bingkun put down his chopsticks and stood up. He walked out of the house in a few steps. When he saw the person standing at the door, he smiled and said, "Brother Xiaoguang, have you eaten? We are eating right now. Can we have a drink together?"

"No, I came here after dinner." Cai Xiaoguang shook his head and said, "Come out and I'll tell you something."

Zhou Bingkun asked Zheng Juan to go back to the house to eat, then closed the door and walked out. He stood at the door and asked in confusion: "What's wrong, Brother Xiaoguang?"

"I want to ask you to do something."

…

When Zhou Bingkun sent Cai Xiaoguang away and returned to the house to sit down, the kids had already finished eating and went to play in the next room. Zheng Juan and Li Suhua also finished eating, leaving Wang Yan alone to drink there.

Looking at Zhou Bingkun who wanted to speak but was struggling, Wang Yan had already thought of what it was. He patted the table and woke up Zhou Bingkun who was struggling with himself: "If you have something to say, you can do it. If you can't, don't blame me."

Zhou Bingkun glanced at his biological mother who was glaring at him, sighed and said, "What? Cai Xiaoguang has been admitted to college, but now his father has some problems. He used to be the director of publicity at the tractor factory, and he was also sent to He went to work in the workshop. This time he was admitted to college, but the factory said there was something wrong with him and wouldn't let him go. Now that their schools have started, if he doesn't go, the exam will be in vain, and he can't come to see me.

Brother, you also know that when Tu Zhiqiang was shot, I was so stunned in the lumber factory. I pretended to go to work and wandered around for a while. Finally, Cai Xiaoguang asked his father to get me the soy sauce factory I have now. So I thought, help if you can. You also know what Cai Xiaoguang is like. If his father is not good, he is his father. You cannot delay his future because of this matter.

I just wanted to ask you if there is anything you can do. He said if it doesn't work, just go to my sister, let my sister go to my brother, and let Sister Dongmei and her father think of a way. "

Before Wang Yan could say anything, Li Suhua on the side refused directly: "We can't find Bingyi, so what we just said during dinner is, don't beg others, don't cause trouble to your brother. Dongmei's father is such a big official, for this reason It’s not enough to worry about other people’s affairs.”

Zhou Bingkun sighed: "Yes, I think so too. My brother Yan is also very popular. If he can solve it, then don't cause any trouble to my elder brother."

"Auntie, don't worry. I can handle this matter. You don't need to find Dongmei's father." Wang Yan replied, and then looked at Zhou Bingkun: "Does it feel difficult to handle? It's okay. This kind of thing will happen in the future. There are still more. Aren't you a young gentleman? Now that Lu Chuan and Tang Xiangyang are going to college. College students are very popular now and they should not be too bad in the future. But Xiao Guoqing, Cao Debao and Sun will catch up with them. , but their conditions are not as good as ours. According to the situation I told you before, it should be difficult for them to get along.

I feel that I still know a few people who can do some things. Needless to say, Brother Bingyi, Sister-in-law Dongmei and her father are there, and she will definitely join politics when she graduates from college. And as I told you before, when you get rich and reveal your wealth, you will suffer. "

"I'm not stupid, and I don't owe them anything. Who knows what will happen in the future." Zhou Bingkun shook his head and said, "Then about Cai Xiaoguang..."

"It will be done tomorrow."

"Thank you, brother."

Li Suhua, who was on the kang, said, "Sorry to trouble you, Xiaoyan."

"It's no trouble, aunt. That person helped Bingkun. I am Bingkun's brother, so I have to pay him back. You put it like that, and then you told me about Lao Zhou's family again."

Li Suhua rolled her eyes: "You said it simply and neatly, and my aunt is not stupid. So, is there anyone who won't be troublesome when asking for help?"

Wang Yan said with a smile: "It's really not that difficult. Over the years, I have treated many officials and their relatives, and I have saved a lot of face. Just make a phone call and talk about the situation. I will look for opportunities later and try again." Just treat them to a drink and that’s it, it doesn’t matter.”

"Okay, I won't say anything anymore. As long as you don't embarrass yourself, hurry up and eat."

Wang Yan followed Zhou Bingkun and continued to talk about the topic of finding someone to do things. He talked about the personalities, current situation and future of these friends...

The next day, Wang Yan took care of Cai Xiaoguang's schooling. As he said, it really wasn't that difficult, just a phone call away.

Of course, there are other ways. After all, the tractor is short of funds and wants a grant. He can also solve this problem, but compared to the cost of a phone call, it is obviously larger. Or he could help the tractor factory with some ideas to improve tractors or something, but he was too lazy to put in the effort.

The main reason is that he can only talk but not do it, and this process requires a certain amount of capital investment, and the people in the tractor factory are not very good at it. Because his own profession limits him, a doctor who is well-known in the Northeast is very unconventional and unconvincing when he instructs on upgrading tractors.

Besides, the tractor factory itself lacked subjective initiative. During the decades of its establishment, it only focused on technological advancement at the beginning, but later stopped and relied on the special nature of state-owned enterprises to survive. After all, production and marketing are integrated, the state deploys them, and they have a place to go after they are created. There is no sense of crisis, lack of creativity, and even less vitality. Over the years, there have not been many product iterations. And this is not just a problem of one tractor factory, it is a common problem of quite a few factories in China.

This time, there is no Cai Xiaoguang incident, which may affect the attitude of Hao Dongmei's parents. After all, it is said that it was because of this incident that Hao Dongmei's parents had opinions on Zhou Bingyi. It can be regarded as a small help.

But there is another possibility. People always have to go through some lessons to make progress. Without Cai Xiaoguang to look for things, Zhou Bingyi may not reflect as much as he originally did on "you can't fall twice in the same place", and then ask his father-in-law to do things for others. maybe.

That has nothing to do with someone else. Everyone has his or her own destiny...
