A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 299 Retribution
Huguo Temple, Courtyard No. [-].

Mei family.

The Mei family, which had been closed to guests for many years, finally opened its doors to welcome guests again.

The ninth elder of the Mei family, Mei Baojiu, welcomed Li Yuan into the gate with a friendly smile. After passing the screen wall, he saw the hostess of the Mei family, Fu Zhifang, her daughter Mei Baoyue and Zhu Jiashu's daughter Zhu Chuanrong waiting there.

Li Yuan said "ouch" and said with a smile: "Aunt Fu, two sisters, you can't bear this. It's enough to let Xiao Jiuer go out to meet 200 meters. How can I dare to trouble you three?"

The three women laughed, and Mei Baojiu was speechless and said: "Yuanzi, I am four years older than you!"

Fu Zhifang said: "Xiaojiu, be polite to Doctor Li."

Mei Baojiu: "..."

Zhu Chuanrong was overjoyed and said: "Ninth brother, your current status is not comparable to Dr. Li."

Mei Baoyue smiled and said: "My father is still in the room talking to Mr. Lao She and the others about Dr. Li. If Dr. Li hadn't given him the idea to go to the countryside and teach the commune members to sing model operas, he would have insisted on it. Not until now. He has been staying in the countryside for the past few years. Although it is hard work, at least it is not that dangerous. The superiors saw that he could go deep into the countryside and the masses, and they praised his father by name. Dr. Li, come into the house quickly. Uncle Wang Shixiang has been here Yelling, why hasn’t his little brother arrived yet? Dr. Li, Uncle Wang really misses you."

Li Yuan laughed, and then said seriously: "Maybe he was moved by my character... You see, he doesn't miss Ninth Brother."

Mei Baojiu: "..."

A burst of laughter sounded like silver bells, and the great beauty Wang Danfeng walked out of the inner courtyard, looked at Li Yuan and said: "Dr. Li, I haven't seen you for almost 20 years, and you are still so funny and humorous."

She can no longer be considered a beauty, after all, she is over 50 years old, but her elegance seems to be engraved in her bones.

Li Yuan asked with concern: "Sister Wang, how have you been in these years?"

Wang Danfeng couldn't hold back, and her shoulders trembled while she was hiding her smile.

Zhu Chuanrong couldn't stand it anymore, so he came over and punched Li Yuan on the shoulder and said, "That's too much! Doctor Li, when we met, you never cared about me like this!"

Li Yuan explained: "The situation in Shenghai is not that bad. Besides, you live in Nanluogu Lane. Do I know if it's good or not?"

"Bah! Man!"

Mei Baojiu whispered from the side.

Li Yuan gave him a horrified look, his expression so vivid that the four women burst into laughter.

Wang Danfeng joked: "Dr. Li, how can your wife trust you to go out? She has mature charm and is so funny. The key is that she is not old. She is almost 40 years old. She still looks like she is in her twenties."

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Maybe it's because she knows that my moral character is very trustworthy. Sister Wang, you are welcome to visit my home at your leisure. I will coax the children to sleep at home and hum your song "Little Swallow"."

That's right, it's the song "Little swallows, wearing floral clothes, come here every spring."

The group entered the living room laughing and talking.

Seeing Mr. Mei Lanfang stand up to greet him, Li Yuan politely stepped forward to shake hands and said: "Mr. Mei, you are too polite."

Mei Lanfang held his hand and said to Zhu Jiaxin, Wang Shixiang, Lao She and a chubby man wearing glasses: "As I said just now, when it was the most dangerous time, it was this little friend who helped me find a way out. .”

Wang Shixiang shouted: "Okay, okay, we are not outsiders, everyone knows..." But he looked at Li Yuan suspiciously and said: "That's not right, why didn't you give me an idea at that time?"

Li Yuan chuckled and said: "There's really nothing you can do, you can't sing. You see, most of the opera singers are fine. Isn't Mr. Zhu fine too? He also sang Farewell My Concubine with Xiao Jiu. He played the role of Ba Wang, Xiao Jiu. Nine is chicken.”

Mei Baojiu trembled with anger, raised her orchid finger and pointed at Li Yuan and scolded: "Yuanzi, you are going too far!"

The crowd laughed!

Mei Lanfang introduced the unfamiliar person to Li Yuan and said: "This is Cao Yu. You must have read "Thunderstorm", "Sunrise" and "The Wilderness"."

Cao Yu stood up and shook hands and said: "Bai Wuyi is just a scholar. Compared with the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" written by Dr. Li, which has hundreds of millions of people alive, my achievements are really not worth mentioning."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "It is you who will be remembered forever. Medical skills will continue to improve. Barefoot doctors are really poor and have no other solution. Sooner or later they will withdraw from the stage of history. But "Thunderstorm", "Sunrise" and "The Wilderness" will inevitably Last forever."

Cao Yu shook hands happily.

After everyone sat down, Mei Lanfang said with emotion: "After the disaster, seeing each other again seems like a lifetime ago. I just hope that we will never experience such a terrible era again. I invite everyone here today because I want to meet again. Let's talk. …”

Lao She, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "Dr. Li, were you the one who saved me at Taiping Lake that day?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and looked at the two people in confusion.

Li Yuan did not deny it, and said happily: "I happened to visit a famous Chinese medicine expert that day. When I came back and passed by Taiping Lake, I saw someone throwing himself into the lake, so I went over and fished it up. Is it you?"

The pain on Lao She's face was obvious, and he told Mei Lanfang and others: "That day Jie Qing reported me, and I was taken away by students from a girls' middle school and beaten severely. When I got home, I couldn't knock on the door in the heavy rain. The sky and the earth were vast, windy and rainy, but there was no place for me. My heart was devastated by despair, so I went to Taiping Lake and jumped in."

Everyone exclaimed, and Wang Shixiang looked at Li Yuan and said, "I never heard you mention it."

Li Yuan chuckled and said, "I have saved many people over the years, but the one in Taiping Lake is indeed the only one."

Lao She said: "The cold lake water stung me soberly, and I regretted it. "Under the Red Flag" has not been finished yet. Although I was abandoned by my first wife, there are still people who love me..."

Li Yuan clicked his tongue in his heart, but didn't say anything sarcastic.

Although this scumbag is a bit scumbag, his works are indeed pretty good.

He is not a moral deity and is not responsible for correcting moral affairs in the world.

However, Zhu Jiapu became more straightforward and said: "Mr. Shu, what Sister Jie Qing did was indeed inappropriate, but to say that she abandoned you is an overstatement. When you left Beijing alone, Sister Jie Qing took you with you. How difficult it is for a mother and three children to live alone in the capital. Sister Jieqing studied under Mr. Shiraishi and amazed many people with her paintings. But such a woman has taken on the responsibility of a large family. After the old lady passed away, she supported it alone After sending the old man away, I took my three children to find you. After walking for 52 days on the road, when I arrived in Sichuan and Chongqing, you and the female secretary Zhao Qingge lived happily without seeing anyone, which made them unfamiliar with each other. Stayed for more than 20 days. Zhao Qingge ran to Shenghai, and you chased Shenghai. If you really fell in love with someone else, forget it, just leave and live with Zhao Qingge. But it happened that Sister Jieqing got pregnant again. You fell in love with the fourth child of your family... and you have been unwilling to completely break up with Zhao Qingge, which has caused harm to everyone who is still unmarried..."

Seeing that Mr. Lao She couldn't lift his head, and his face was flushed and ashamed, Mr. Mei Lanfang advised: "Ji Huang, please spare him if you can. Brother Sheyu is not a person with bad character. It was just that he couldn't let go for a while, which led to the consequences of that day." situation."

Mr. Lao She looked up to the sky and sighed.

Fu Zhifang looked at Mei Lanfang and smiled.

This person was also very romantic with Meng Xiaodong back then...

Wang Shixiang also advised his old friend: "You are really nosy! The couple fights at the end of the bed and at the end of the bed, and they are living a good life now? You are so good at fighting injustices, why don't you care about your little brother?"

Li Yuan said inexplicably: "What's wrong with me? Who among the people in the Forty-Nine Cities wouldn't praise me for my benevolence, justice and integrity?" Seeing Mei Baojiu was about to speak, he smiled and said, "Except Lao Jiu."

Wang Danfeng said with a smile: "I believe this. If a person as outstanding as Dr. Li really wants to be a talented man, he must have become famous in the forty-nine cities."

Mei Baojiu hehe hehe...

After having a meal at Mei's house, Mei Lanfang went out for a while, took out a scroll and came back. He gave it to Li Yuan with both hands and said: "In the past few years, every time I saw you stopping in front of this painting to look at it, I knew you loved this painting. It's just that the environment was difficult at that time. Brother Ji Yuan was well-known and close to Wanwan. If this painting were in your hands, I'm worried that it would bring you trouble. Now that the situation is peaceful, there is no longer such a worry. Today, I will give this painting of Mei Lan to the artist. Pictured as a gift to my little friend."

Ji Yuan is the character of Zhang Daqian.

Li Yuan said in surprise: "Mr. Mei, this is a famous painting jointly created by you, Mr. Zhang Daqian, Mr. Xie Zhiliu and Mr. Wu Hufan. It is not only very valuable, but also contains your friendship. Although I appreciate it very much, a gentleman does not take away what others like. …”

Mei Lanfang smiled lightly and said: "It doesn't matter. I believe that the living environment will become more and more relaxed in the future. Most of these old friends are still there...except for Brother Hu Fan who couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide ten years ago. But in the end, there are still There is a chance to get together. If you like this painting so much, take it."

Fu Zhifang also prepared two brocade bags, put them in Li Yuan's hands and said: "A golden Buddha and a jade Bodhisattva. I heard from Chang'an that you have a new pair of children. Knowing that you are going out again soon, I don't want to Waiting for you to buy a drink."

After Li Yuan took it in his hand and thanked him, he scolded Wang Shixiang and said, "Look, look, how generous I am, Aunt Fu! Aunt Yuan wants to give me your gourd to take home for your son to play with, but you are reluctant to part with it. You are so stingy!"

A group of people laughed, and Wang Shixiang laughed and said: "It's easy to get gold and jade, but there's no need to talk about that fire-painted gourd! That was the love token I gave to Tsuen You four or five years ago!"

After leaving Mei Mansion, Wang Shixiang, Zhu Jiapu and Li Yuan were traveling together. Wang Shixiang invited Li Yuan to sit in Fangjiayuan, but Li Yuan declined politely: "I have to go back to the courtyard."

Wang Shixiang asked curiously: "You don't live there anymore, why are you going back there?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I have to go and be grounded. You people live too elegantly. I have to go and be tacky." Wang Shixiang laughed and stretched out his hand to Li Yuan: "Here, let me save this Meilan picture for you first. , you can come back to me for it later."

"Go! Go! Go!"

Li Yuan dodged and laughed: "Are you kidding me? You can still get it out of your hands? Brother Wang, Mr. Zhu, let's see you next year!"

……

"Hey! Director Li, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, he saw a man with gauze on his head sitting in the middle courtyard. Next to him were Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and several other workers from the steel rolling mill. Li Yuan stepped forward and asked with concern.

The man with half his face wrapped in gauze was Li Huaide. When he saw Li Yuan coming back, his eyes lit up and he said, "Oh, Xiao Li is back!"

He stood up and said excitedly: "They also said that you would probably not come back. Unexpectedly, you are back! Xiao Li, where have you been transferred to now?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Director Li, I am now transferred to the Women's Federation."

"..."

Li Huaide smiled awkwardly and said: "The Women's Federation... Okay, the Women's Federation is good, pay attention to women and children across the country!"

Liu Haizhong blinked his mung bean eyes and asked curiously: "Yuanzi, why did you adjust that?"

Li Yuan sighed helplessly and said: "It's not Daxue. She is now considered a big leader, on the same level as the director, but it is said that she has to go up a bit. So someone came to talk to me and asked me to carry forward my style and go. As a leader of the Women's Federation, we should pay more attention to the physical and mental health of women and children, and also take good care of the lives of Daxue and the children at home. What can I do? The official level is crushing people to death."

The fringe in the bangs is almost flowing out, and the green pea eyes are about to turn into red pea eyes.

I screamed crazily in my heart: What kind of world is this! !
Li Huaide was also jealous, but that was not what he cared about at the moment. He coughed dryly and said, "Xiao Li, is there a quieter place? I have something to talk to you about."

Li Yuan said frankly: "Okay. Let's go to the backyard..."

The two of them went to the backyard, and Liu Haizhong followed them subconsciously. Li Yuan looked back suspiciously and said, "Second uncle, don't you want to chat with your two brothers?"

Liu Haizhong made a sound and said: "What are I talking nonsense to them? Let me see the two leaders and see if there is anything they need to run errands for..."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Old Liu, go ahead and do your work. I'll call you if I need anything."

Liu Haizhong: "..."

Li Huaide said disgustedly: "Go, go, don't follow."

Liu Haizhong nodded and bowed back, quietly said "bah" toward the backyard, and said to Yi Zhonghai: "Look at how successful that villain is, and he still calls me Lao Liu?!"

Yi Zhonghai said calmly: "What are you talking nonsense to us?"

Liu Haizhong: "..."

Silly Zhu said with a bad smile: "Second uncle, Ren Yuanzi was looking up to you before. It was you who called the leader. Can't they cooperate with you?"

Xu Damao said without hesitation: "Some people want to be a leader and they almost go crazy, but they end up being fucked off after only two days. What's going on, second uncle?"

Liu Haizhong became anxious and said: "You...you..."

Yan Bugui chuckled and said: "Okay, Old Liu, don't let the inside listen anymore. Alas, I really didn't expect that Yuanzi would become prosperous like this. The first wife ran away, and the second wife was so powerful. Before, Some people also joked that he married a girl from the countryside. Hey, it’s really good!”

Silly Zhu looked down upon him and said: "Third uncle, come on! It was you and Third Aunt who laughed at Yuanzi for marrying a girl from the countryside who laughed the most. That means Yuanzi won't live here anymore, otherwise You, an old Westerner, have long since become an old Easterner."

……

Backyard wing.

After Li Yuan gave up his seat, he smiled and said: "I don't usually live here, and I don't even have a cup of hot water. Director, don't be surprised."

Li Huaide said "ouch", pointed to his head, and said: "Xiao Li, do you think I am still in the mood to drink tea now?"

Li Yuan said in surprise: "Director, what's going on? Now we don't let people fight, how did we end up like this?"

Li Huaide smiled sadly and said: "Don't call me director, I have been given some time off to recuperate. Last time, I got the recipe you wrote. When I got home that night, a group of gangsters forced their way into my house. After knocking me unconscious, they also killed me. Everything in the house was looted!”

It's like gnashing one's teeth!

Li Huaide has been domineering in a large factory like the steel rolling mill with tens of thousands of people for ten years, and has accumulated countless good things.

You know, during special times, the security department of the steel rolling mill manages more than one steel rolling mill!

Almost half of the eastern part of the city was within the radiation range of his power, and he didn't know how many good things he had confiscated just by confiscating homes.

After getting the prescription from Li Yuan, I was ready to find a way to escape.

In this way, not only will a large sum of gold be around you, but the subsequent wealth will also be guaranteed.

Who would have thought that the villain was so vicious that he not only beat him half to death, but also wiped out all the good things hidden in his home.

There are hundreds of thousands in cash alone, plus several suitcases of gold and silver jewelry, valuable antiques, and especially a box of gold bars...

He actually worked hard to package it and it was all ready-made!

Let people finish it in one trip!
My heart is bleeding! !

If it weren't for Cunning Tusanku, he would still have some savings in another house, and he would even want to die!
Seeing the pain on Li Huaide's face, Li Yuan said "ouch" and said urgently: "Hurry up and call the police!"

At this time, the public security department was the first force to restore order.

Li Huaide thought to himself, "I'll tell you to rake up. There are so many things. It's really hard to solve the case. He got in before the thief."

Moreover, he suspected that someone from the relevant department might be dealing with him.

Otherwise, so many things, so much porcelain that even he was ready to give up, had been looted, and it was simply not something that three or five people could do.

But I couldn't say that on my face, I just said bitterly: "I reported it, they are busy investigating. But for a while, there is no chance..."

Li Yuan started to look through the liberation bag, took out a few big black tens, and said: "Director, I only have so many in my hand, you can use it first..."

Li Huaide was really moved. He held Li Yuan's hand and said, "Xiao Li, you showed me what true revolutionary friendship is! However, I don't need the money, and I have to trouble you to write another recipe. I'll send it up there again. Let's see if there's any chance to work in a health and medical unit..."

Without saying a word, Li Yuan stood up, went to find paper and pen, returned to the table and said, "Director, please sit down for a moment, I will write now!"

Soon, in less than a cup of tea, Li Yuan wrote two more copies and warned: "One is the old recipe before the improvement, and the other is the improved one. This time, you must keep it." Yes! Director, I think your previous residence was being watched. If you go back this time, see if you can find another place to stay, hide out for a few days and then come out..."

Li Huaide deeply agreed. After shaking hands again, he said: "Xiao Li, see you later!"

Li Yuan shook hands heavily: "Director, take care!"

……

That night, Li Huaide was attacked again in his hiding place, and the rest of his hidden wealth was looted.

When he woke up to the dazzling sunlight the next day, he saw an empty room, not even his favorite table and chairs from the Ming Dynasty. It looked very much like other people's homes after he ransacked them all those years ago.

Li Huaide did not get up again, letting his tears flow...

Could it be that this is retribution?
