363. Chapter 360: Encountering a Junior High School Classmate

The three children were very happy eating the fish balls, even sucking up the soup.

After eating, I immediately wanted to take the bowl to the river to wash it, and then return it to the fish ball seller.

The uncle quickly said: "No need to wash it, I will wash it together when the sales are about the same."

But the three children still washed the dishes and returned them to the uncle who bought the fish balls.

The little girl who took the lead took her two younger brothers and bowed to Li Duoyu, thanked her, and left in a hurry.

These children carefully carried the fish balls and fish ball soup, hoping to take them back while they were hot and give them to their mother-in-law.

Although these children are very thin and poor, and they all look like little beggars, Li Duoyu feels that their tutors are very good.

Even though he was so poor, he did not go to the streets to beg, but relied on his own resources.

Seeing the three children washing the dishes very clean, the uncle couldn't help but sigh: "It would be nice if those naughty children in my family could be half as sensible as them."

Li Duoyu frowned slightly. He just heard from the children that their family members seemed to be sick.

"Uncle, do you know these children? Are their family members sick?"

The uncle smoked a cigarette and said, "I know them. They are quite famous in this area. They often catch crickets by the river. The eldest girl is nicknamed 'Landi'. I can't tell the difference between the two younger ones. One is called Anan and the other is called Anbei.”

Li Duoyu was a little curious.

"Why is it called a mine?"

The uncle smiled and said: "Although she is thin and small, she also sings very well. When she is angry, she is like a landmine. She can beat boys of the same age until they cry."

"It's so beneficial."

The uncle sighed: "There is no such thing as being powerful or not. They are all forced. Their family is a single-parent family. A year ago, their mother contracted tuberculosis and now she can't even leave the house."

Li Duoyu frowned when he heard the word 'tuberculosis', and this tuberculosis was actually tuberculosis.

Ten diseases and nine tuberculosis.

In the past, tuberculosis was a terminal disease. Once you contracted it, there was almost no cure, and you could only wait to die slowly.

But it's already the 1980s, and although the overall medical technology level in the country is still not good, there are already many treatments and anti-tuberculosis drugs.

Such as streptomycin, isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol, etc.

In addition to these drugs, there is also the BCG vaccine to prevent tuberculosis.

As the village director, he has a rigid work target, that is, he must rush the villagers to the health center to get vaccinated against smallpox, hepatitis B, and tuberculosis.

As for the BCG vaccine that prevents tuberculosis, the BCG vaccine is most effective for infants and young children before the age of three.

Li Duoyu actually didn't understand it very well. Less than a month after Xiaorong came back, he forcibly took Xiao Tutu to receive the BCG vaccine.

After this vaccine is administered, white pustules will appear at the injection site, which will then cause ulcers and eventually scabs.

After seeing the festering wound, their mother-in-law, Chen Huiying, was heartbroken and scolded Xiaorong for five or six days.

Judging from the uncle's description, the mother of these children cannot even leave the house and is probably a seriously ill patient.

But now there are medicines, and as long as we take active treatment, there is still hope for a cure.

But the premise is that her family must be rich. Treatment for tuberculosis takes a long time and the cost is beyond the reach of ordinary families.

Just that moment.

Li Duoyu really wanted to follow those children to see and help them, but finally gave up.

The uncle looked Li Duoyu up and down and said: "You don't look like a rich man. Why are you so generous? You treat others to three bowls of fish balls and yours for a total of one dollar and two. Give it to me." Just one piece.”

Li Duoyu took out a "Red Golden Dragon" from his pocket and handed it to the uncle, asking: "What does a rich man look like?"

The uncle thought for a while, pointed to a young man not far away wearing glasses and polished leather shoes and said: "It's like that kind of person. You can tell at a glance that he is a rich person."

Following the direction that the uncle pointed, there were indeed two well-dressed young people.

One male and one female.

That man's outfit, including his watch, costs at least a hundred yuan.

In this era, such people are indeed rich. If I have to use metaphors, they are probably the kind of people in later generations who wear LV and Armani all over their bodies.

When Li Duoyu saw those two people, he always felt that they were very familiar, and he should know them, especially the beautiful woman in a skirt.

But for a while,

Li Duoyu just couldn't remember who they were.

Li Duoyu said seriously: "Uncle, I am actually a householder worth ten thousand yuan, do you believe it or not?"

The uncle rolled his eyes and said, "Fuck you, if you were really a millionaire, you would definitely go to eat the Japanese food in No. 1 Courtyard. How could you come to eat my fish balls?"

Li Duoyu said seriously: "Don't tell me, I think the food in that Japanese restaurant is not as delicious as your fish balls."

"Don't flatter me, but I really like what you said. Not long ago, my son also invited me in for a meal. I think the food from abroad is not as delicious as our local food. ”

Li Duoyu smiled and said:

"Yes, I think so too. I like to eat our local drunken pork ribs, lychee meat, fried liver, and Buddha jumping over the wall." "You know how to eat."

"Of course, I am a millionaire after all."

"Okay, you are a householder worth ten thousand yuan. I'm leaving and continue selling fish balls." The uncle shook his head helplessly, then continued riding his bicycle, knocking on the bowl and shouting: "Fish balls, fish balls."

"The fish balls that have been sold for more than 20 years are fish balls that even households worth ten thousand yuan want to eat."

What surprised Li Duoyu was that the two people the uncle just pointed at were walking towards him.

The young man wearing black-framed round glasses said in surprise: "Isn't this Duoyu? Why are you here in Rongcheng?"

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly. It turned out to be an acquaintance whom he didn't know. He tried his best to look at the man with glasses in front of him. He had some impression, but he really couldn't recognize who he was.

After all, based on Li Duoyu's actual age, he had not seen the person in front of him for at least 40 to 50 years.

"Hello, you are?"

After hearing this, the man with glasses was stunned and looked a little unhappy: "Pretend, I'm your junior high school classmate, Zhang Jianhua!"

"oh"

Li Duoyu racked his brains and finally remembered something. In junior high school, there was a man with glasses who loved to tell stories.

He, Agui, and other classmates would go out to play over the wall in the middle of the night, but the man with glasses would always report them.

As a result, they were criticized several times by teachers and school leaders, and in order to retaliate against him, Li Duoyu and the others certainly "took care" of him.

Later, when pirated goods became popular, this guy and his family benefited from the benefits. They rented out the store and opened a restaurant, making a lot of money.

"It's you. You've changed a lot. I remember you always had a runny nose before, so I almost didn't recognize you."

Zhang Jianhua sneered: "The one with the runny nose is Chen Xiaoliang, okay?"

Li Duoyu slapped his forehead.

"Look at my memory."

Zhang Jianhua and Li Duoyu tried hard to think about it, but they still had some impressions. As for Chen Xiaoliang, Li Duoyu's mind was really blank and he didn't remember this person at all.

Zhang Jianhua frowned. They had met before when the goods were shipped. It had only been a few years, so they couldn't forget it so quickly.

When Li Duoyu was in junior high school, he was a very good person. At that time, everyone in the class was afraid of him. It must be because he is not doing well now, so he pretended not to know him.

Next, the good-looking young girl next to the man with glasses smiled and said hello to Duoyu.

"Duoyu, long time no see."

Li Duoyu looked her over. She had a very good figure and temperament. She had long legs and was a bit outgoing. In his previous life, he had also watched countless short videos.

This kind of woman looks like a dancer at first glance. Even though I haven't seen her for "forty or fifty years", you can still recognize her identity after looking at her twice.

The woman in front of him was the one that Zhou Xiaoying could not forget and would use to stab Li Duoyu from time to time.

Because Li Duoyu once asked Zhou Xiaoying to help write a love letter for her, and now Li Duoyu finally remembered her name: Chen Ziyi.

"You are different from junior high school. You are becoming more and more feminine now. I almost didn't recognize you."

Chen Ziyi blushed slightly, pursed her lips and said, "Are you saying that I am too old to recognize you?"

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly. Sometimes women's brain circuits are really weird and there is no logic at all.

"No, it really looks better than before."

Seeing the two of them chatting happily, Zhang Jianhua immediately felt unhappy. This toad had been pestering Chen Ziyi since he was in junior high school.

"Duoyu, I heard that you and Zhou Xiaoying are married?"

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "Yes, we got married the year before last, and our children are now over one year old."

Chen Ziyi's face changed slightly, but she still kept her smile: "Congratulations, you're married. Why didn't you notify us?"

Li Duoyu explained:

"Weddings held on the island have too many local customs, so we didn't notify everyone."

Li Duoyu wouldn't tell them because it would be too troublesome. During that time, he thought about leaving the goods every day and didn't bother to contact them.

Zhang Jianhua sighed with emotion: "You guys are really unlucky. Xiaoying is such an excellent woman, how can you be worthy of him?"

Li Duoyu rolled his eyes at him. If you can't speak, just speak less. No one will think you are mute.

Zhang Jianhua continued:

"By the way, Duoyu, aren't you fishing on the island? Why did you come to Rongcheng? Are you planning to come to the city to find a job? If you can't find one, I can help you.

Now, after all, I am also a cadre of a state-owned enterprise. There will definitely be no problem in arranging a security job for you. Although the salary will not be too high, it will at least be more than what you can earn as a fisherman. "

Li Duoyu turned his head and showed a look of disgust. Even if this person likes reading newspapers, he would not dare to say such words in front of him.

Also, Li Duoyu finally figured out that Zhang Jianhua didn't come to greet him just to reminisce about the past.

But he was deliberately showing off, pulling him down so that he could show off in front of Chen Ziyi.

It's really childish. (End of chapter)
