A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 10
"Aunt Wang, let me come and see you. Have you eaten?"

Walking more than 300 meters south from Nanluoguxiang, you will find Mianhua Hutong. Director Wang's house in the street is a single-door courtyard house with a small second entrance. After knocking on the door, Li Yuan greeted him solemnly.

Director Wang's name was Wang Yamei, he looked at Li Yuan in surprise, and laughed angrily after hearing him speak: "If you are not worldly, don't pretend to be so worldly!"

Li Yuan smiled ashamedly and said: "My master said that although we rely on technology to make a living, we still need to learn some human sophistication. Otherwise, no matter how good the medical skills are, there will be times of bad luck."

Why does someone like Zhao Yehong with a cold personality feel that sophistication is important?We have to start with the tragic situation of Chinese medicine.

In addition to the suppression of Chinese medicine by the higher authorities and western medicine, the internal conflicts among the major schools of Chinese medicine can also be described as quite tragic.

Zhao Yehong asked Li Yuan to learn more about the world, and it was also because he had seen too many great doctors at the national level because he was unreasonable and ended up miserable.

Wang Yamei is the street director of Huangcheng Gen'er, so she naturally knows this. She smiled and said, "It's good to learn a little bit."

While stepping in, it turned out that Li Yuan was actually holding something in his hand, and said displeasedly: "Xiao Li, what are you doing?"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Aunt Wang, this is not for you."

Wang Yamei was surprised, but she didn't believe it. She said, "If you don't send me, you take it to our house? You said you didn't send it to me. Take it away later!"

Looking at Wang Yamei's serious face, Li Yuan smiled and said: "On the way here, I happened to meet a fellow villager who was carrying two crucian carp. It's also strange. The ice in the moat has not been thawed yet. I don't know where they fished it from." The crucian carp is still fresh. No, I heard that my sister-in-law is in confinement after giving birth. Aunt Wang, you are still shopping for eggs. This egg is not as good as crucian carp soup, so I bought it on my own.

I gave this fish to my sister-in-law. I heard that my eldest brother served as a soldier in the army and didn’t come back for the Chinese New Year?The eldest brother is a hero who went to the east to beat Laomei, and my sister-in-law is confinement at home. I can't do my best, right?Of course, if you want to have a clean sleeve and a reputation as an upright official, you can give me [-] cents to buy fish. "

Wang Yamei laughed angrily and said, "Nonsense again! What are you doing with two cents? All right, I accept this favor, and thank you for your elder brother and sister-in-law!" After a pause, he said: "Xiao Li, you said you are so good By the way, what else do you need to learn about the world? Did you deliberately make fun of me just now? No wonder I heard about it in the street, you are so lazy!" This is the reaction.

Li Yuan called Qu and said, "Heaven and earth conscience! You go to our hospital to inquire about it. I don't know how good my reputation is. I eat corn bread by myself, and I get half a catty of pork. I also made braised pork noodles for the deaf old lady in the backyard to improve her life. Give it to the neighbors. No money for seeing a doctor!"

Wang Yamei was surprised when she heard that: "I know that you don't charge money for seeing a doctor, why do you still eat corn bread by yourself and braised pork for the deaf old lady?"

Li Yuandao: "The old man of our hospital said that the deaf old lady made shoes for the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army. I admire such old comrades the most. They suffered so much for the country and the people in the early years, and now we can't let them No matter how hard it is, there is not much I can do..."

Wang Yamei twitched the corners of her mouth, but looked at Li Yuan with a softer gaze, and said, "The deaf old lady in your courtyard is in a special situation, so you don't have to be like this in the future."

After the two entered the living room of the north room and sat down, Li Yuan said in surprise: "Isn't she? No way, the country still gives her five yuan a month?"

Don't talk about low-income households and five-guarantee households. Those are policies that only existed after the 80s.

How could it be possible to afford so many orphans and widowed mothers with the current national power...

Yi Zhonghai is not a reckless person, and the other residents of the courtyard house are not all idiots, so they dare to make such a statement?

Furthermore, in the current situation, almost every household in the street has been found out, and it is impossible not to know which courtyard is blowing and which wind is blowing.

So Li Yuan was really not sure about the identity of the deaf old lady.

Wang Yamei shook her head and said, "It's not clear what's going on here, as long as you don't bully the widowed old man. Don't worry about the rest."

Li Yuan knew it in his heart, and nodded, but he had other goals in mind, and it wasn't really just to respect the elderly...

Wang Yamei took the "carry bag" woven with straw rope from Li Yuan's hand, opened it and looked at it, and a fresh earthy smell came over her face, she said happily: "It's really fresh fish, it's great, let's stew crucian carp soup tonight, It's time to milk...Xiao Li, sit down and drink tea, and I'll put the fish in the kitchen. I'll cook something delicious for you at noon!"

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Aunt Wang, go and do your work quickly. Don't be polite. Besides, I really have something to do at noon today. I have to go to my master's house. My master is waiting for me at home. It was hard to coax my master You are so relieved, you are willing to teach me a few unique skills, I have to learn them quickly! I will try your skills next time when I find a chance..."

Hearing what he said, Wang Yamei was a little helpless. It can be seen that he was so eager to learn, and he was also a little relieved, saying: "You child, you have a good idea, and you can tell everything! You have to go at noon, can't you go at night?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "It was also agreed yesterday, and it is not easy to change." He changed the subject and said: "By the way, Aunt Wang, haven't I moved? Although the house can still be lived in, I want to repair it. I will pick up my parents to live with me for a while. After they came to see the concierge I lived in the year before last, my mother cried and went home. Now that I have become a full-time employee, I have some spare money in my hand. The elderly at home are relieved. You must know where there are reliable craftsmen near us..."

Wang Yamei smiled and said: "I know, I know, this matter is easy to handle. Our street has its own engineering team, which is convenient. You should have this kind of heart, and it is a good thing to have filial piety. In this way, I have nothing to do after dinner at night. Go and have a look."

Li Yuan hurriedly said: "Thank you, Aunt Wang! I feel more relieved when you come forward. It took me several years of savings to build this house. It is not easy, but it needs to be repaired and strengthened."

Wang Yamei felt more fond of him when she saw his frankness, and said with a smile, "It will be much better in the future. You are the only one in the city, with a salary of 37 yuan a month, plus some welfare subsidies from the hospital. You can spend it no matter what. Done. Can you make up the money now? If it’s not enough, I’ll lend it to you first, and then I’ll pay it back when I have it. Anyway, I’m not worried that you won’t pay.”

People's hearts are mutual. Li Yuanneng saw someone selling crucian carp on the road and thought of her daughter-in-law's confinement, so she took the favor.

Li Yuan said with a smile: "It's enough. I went out to the clinic with Master a few times. My Master refused to accept the gift of thanks, so I gave it to me."

Wang Yamei said: "That's okay, I'll take someone to have a look at it tonight. If there is no major repair, it can be done in a week or so."

……

After leaving Wang Yamei's house, 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 brand bicycle.

Bicycles are a rarity these days, mainly because tickets are hard to come by, but money is easy to come by.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that it will become the Mercedes-Benz and BMW of later generations, otherwise it would be unreasonable for a cook in a worker’s cafeteria to buy a BMW for his sister Yushui to drive to school...

After leaving the Beijing Department Store, I found a car repair shop and spent a lot of thread to have someone tighten the spokes and various parts of the bicycle as much as possible. Then I went to the police station and smashed the steel seal to register. Then I rode to Beihai Go to the nearby Black Sesame Hu.

When passing a certain unmanned intersection, there were two extra bags on the handlebar of the bicycle, one bag of four-color snacks, and the other bag contained two catties of mutton.

When he arrived at Sun's house in Heizhima Hutong, Li Yuan opened the door by himself and pushed his bicycle inside.

He has been here too many times, and he is not extravagant at all.

As soon as I entered the front yard, I saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in a flowered padded jacket and two ponytails standing next to the screen wall and scolding a seven or eight-year-old boy with her hips on her hips.

Seeing Li Yuan appearing, the little boy seemed to see a great savior, and excitedly shouted: "Brother Yuanzi is here!"

The boy's name is Sun Jianguo, and he is the same age as the Republic of China. There are tens of thousands of people with this name at his age.

This is Zhao Yehong's youngest son, at the age when people hate dogs, he looks like a monkey.

When they came up, they grabbed Li Yuan's handlebars, trying to grab those two bags to see what was delicious.

The girl was his second sister, Sun Yueling, who was fifteen this year. Seeing how rude her younger brother was, her delicate and pretty face was distorted. She picked up a tree stick from the ground and lashed at Sun Jianguo.

The boy was so skinny, he endured the pain in his buttocks, and also untied the two bags on Li Yuan's handlebars, grinned in pain but still laughed and said: "Hey! The snack box in Daoxiang Village has jujube flowers Crisp and ox tongue cake! Brother Yuanzi, pay attention!" He opened another bag and found that it was meat. He was also happy: "Mutton!! I have a good meal today... Oh, it hurts!"

Seeing that the tree branches were coming towards his head, Sun Jianguo ran away in fright, holding two bags, turning his head and making faces while running.

When Sun Yueling raised his hand violently, Sun Jianguo uttered "Ouch" again, and tripped while backing up, but he was not afraid of the pain, and ran away rolling and crawling again.

Sun Yueling's eyes were red with anger, she stood there with her chest heaving violently, she still didn't forget to blame Li Yuan: "Brother Yuanzi, why did you let him be so rude? You kicked him! Otherwise my mother will blame you later! "

Li Yuan smiled and said: "It's the naughty age, if you let him be so naughty in two years, he will be embarrassed."

Counting his age, ten years later, this kid will just step on the threshold of going to the mountains and going to the countryside, and there will be many good days.

Seeing that Sun Yueling refused, Li Yuan stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Look what this is?"

Sun Yueling was still angry at first, but when she saw the things in Li Yuan's hands, she couldn't take her eyes away, her face blushed, and she said in surprise, "Ah! Brother Yuanzi, where did you get the big white rabbit?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Where do you care? Eat it quickly, and that kid Jianguo will come to grab it later."

Only then did Sun Yueling shyly take the toffee from Li Yuan's hand, opened it and put it in her mouth, her sweet eyes almost melted, she looked at Li Yuan and whispered: "My eldest sister is here today, my mother is inside You're angry, Genko-san, be careful."

Li Yuan was very surprised when he heard the words: "Sister Yuexiang is back?"

Sun Yuexiang is the eldest daughter of Sun Da and Zhao Yehong. She is very gentle and beautiful. She works well and works as a lecturer in a university.

Everything is fine, but four years ago, because of the bloody heroic story of saving the beauty, he fell in love with a coolie pulling a rickshaw on Qianmen Street.

This is completely unacceptable to the Sun family and Zhao Yehong.

But Sun Yuexiang was determined to be with that person, but no matter whether it was Sun Da or Zhao Yehong, Sun Yuexiang was not allowed to come to the house after the two got married.

Sun Yuexiang was also stubborn, and would not come if he didn't come to the door, but who knew God's will trick people, that man was also unlucky, he just gave birth to a daughter in the second year of marriage, and died in an accident, leaving Sun Yuexiang and a daughter, plus An old woman who is sick in bed and her brother and sister who are still in school...

In short, the life that was barely passable at first has suddenly become extremely difficult.

Even so, Sun Yuexiang gritted her teeth and persisted for two years.

But I don't know why I came to the door suddenly today.

Eighty percent, I can't live on...

This kind of housework is the most troublesome, even an upright official can't figure it out, let alone him as an outsider?
Li Yuan wanted to turn around and walk back, but he also knew that it was not appropriate to run away at this moment.

Zhao Yehong and even Sun Da are very kind to him, if you don't treat him as an outsider, it would be a bit unreasonable for him to hide and relax at the moment.

Master and apprentice father and son, master and apprentice father and son, when the master has something to do, he turns around and runs away, so what is the master and apprentice father and son talking about?
Having no other choice, after setting up the bicycle, Li Yuan and Sun Yueling went to the main room together.
