Chapter 118 Meeting Xiao Suizi Again

"Master, I'm sorry to trouble you to keep palming me!"

In the store, Wang Zhong took out an antique wooden box. Behind the counter was an elderly man in his 60s, wearing glasses and a pedantic appearance.

At first, the old pedant didn't take it seriously, after all, Wang Zhong's clothes were too ordinary, and the military uniform on his body was patched, but when Wang Zhong opened the wooden box, revealing the pair of high-quality, crystal-clear and moist bracelets inside, the old pedant's His eyes immediately changed.

Before Wang Zhong greeted him, he immediately bent down, squinted his eyes, and watched carefully.

Then he raised his eyes and looked at Wang Zhong in great surprise: "Good stuff!"

At this time, Wang Zhong was wearing a summer military uniform without epaulets, his back was straight, and his eyes were quite sharp. It was the aura of more than forty people who had killed the enemy, and he was a soldier at a glance.

The old pedant took out a square handkerchief, took out the magnifying glass, carefully picked up the table with the handkerchief, placed it under the magnifying glass and watched it carefully, looked at the two tables over and over for a while, and then carefully put them back into the box.

"The water species, color, and texture are all excellent." The old pedant couldn't hide his joy, and couldn't help shaking his head in admiration: "This is the best thing I have seen in recent years, bar none."

Wang Zhong said: "You always show it, how much is it worth?"

The old pedant held up three fingers.

Wang Chong said: "Three thousand?"

The old pedant nodded, "I can only give so much."

"Changed!"

Wang Zhong was very decisive.

The old scholar reminded Wang Zhongdao: "You have to think clearly, this is a good thing that can be passed down to the family!"

Wang Zhong clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for reminding me all the time. I also understand the truth, but this thing is dead, and people are alive. Things are gone. You can still think of a way in the future, but the current life has to go on."

The old pedant looked Wang Zhong up and down, saw that the starched suit on Wang Zhong was a bit faded, and there were a few patches of old military uniform, he sighed, shook his head, and kindly reminded: "Within a month, you can still go back." Redeem it back, but after a month, there is no other way!"

"If I can really redeem it, I will definitely come back to find you again!"

Wang Zhong said quite sincerely, this old man is enthusiastic, but unfortunately Wang Zhong didn't intend to pass this thing on to his family at all, there are still dozens of pairs of bracelets like this lying in the space.

With 3000 yuan, plus the subsidy he received after he was discharged from the army, and the wife money that Liu Feng had saved over the years, Wang Zhong's pockets suddenly bulged.

The reason why Wang Zhong prepared these things in the space was to face the current situation.

In the next few days, Wang Zhong spent a lot of time wandering outside, walking the streets and alleys, asking around, and even went to the Pigeon Market.

It has been seven or nine years now, and although the reform and opening up has not yet started, it is almost the same. If he waits a few more years, with the little money he has now, if he wants to buy a house, it will not be enough.

In July of this year, the policy of opening up to the outside world had just been implemented, and in Yanjing City, many people with a keen sense of smell had already heard the news and went south.

When someone goes south, it is natural to raise funds. Although most of them may basically have a family background, it is inevitable that there will be some people who have no cash in their hands and are eager to make money.

Now is a good time to start.

Wang Zhong was not in a hurry, anyway, there was still time, so he went to the pigeon market to find out about the ticket dealers.

Wang Zhong was willing to give up the money, and several ticket dealers were scrambling to help Wang Zhong inquire.

After all, professional people have more connections. Wang Zhong searched for several days and found no news, but those ticket dealers found several yards that they wanted to sell in a few days.

A comparative selection.

It cost three thousand and two, and bought a three-entry yard on the edge of the West City.

In this life, Wang Zhong didn't want to be so tired, and he didn't want to be so busy like in the world.

In the future, when you have money, you can buy a few courtyard houses at the foot of the Imperial City in Yanjing City, and you can make a safe profit without losing money.

Wang Zhong didn't tell He Xiaoping directly about buying the yard, but wanted to surprise He Xiaoping after he finished decorating the yard.

On August 31, He Xiaoping deliberately took a day off to accompany Wang Zhong to the school to report.

Wang Zhong was riding a bicycle, and He Xiaoping was wearing a floral dress, sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, with her arms around Wang Zhong's waist.

At the beginning, there were not many people, but when the two got closer to the school, the traffic on the road gradually increased.

Although Wang Zhong was not admitted to Yanda University, he has inextricably linked with Yanda University.

Now it is called Yenching Medical College, and it will be renamed as Medical University in the future. It is directly under the leadership of the Central Ministry of Health, but its predecessor is just a department under Yanjing University. In the next few decades, it will merge with Yanjing University again and become The Department of Medicine under Yan University.

Of course, the current Yenching Medical College was separated from Yanda University in 52 after the adjustment of colleges and departments across the country and was established independently. Its history can be traced back to before the Revolution of [-].

After signing up with Wang Zhong, the two started to stroll around the nearby Yanda campus. He Xiaoping was a little tired from walking around the famous Weiming Lake, so the two found a nearby bench and sat on it. , looking at the sparkling lake, enjoying the scene of the lake and the sky.

"School will start soon. The school is so far away from our home. If you live at home, will you delay going back and forth every day for too long?"

He Xiaoping held Wang Zhong's arm, put her head on Wang Zhong's shoulder, looked at the beautiful inexplicable lake in front of her, felt the cool autumn wind blowing from the lake, and felt unprecedented peace and comfort in her heart.

The Dazayuan is near the No. [-] Municipal Hospital, and it is indeed a bit far from Yanda University.

"It must be living at home!" Wang Zhong said as a matter of course: "We are just married, so we must hurry up and have a child! If I live in school, it will be delayed!"

After saying this, He Xiaoping's face immediately turned red, if not for the many people around, He Xiaoping would have buried her head in Wang Zhong's arms.

"What do you say!"

"so many people!"

Speaking of which, He Xiaoping directly punched Wang Zhong twice in shame.

"Isn't that what you told me to say!"

"You still say it!"

Wang Zhong chuckled and changed the topic: "By the way, what do you think about work? Although being a nurse is good, the work is too tiring and not a long-term solution."

"Is the nurse okay?" He Xiaoping frowned and looked at Wang Zhong in confusion.

Wang Zhongdao: "It's not that the nurses are bad, but that the work of the nurses is too tiring and the hours are too long, and there must be frequent night shifts. It's okay in the short term, but I can't bear to do it in the long term."

He Xiaoping knew that Wang Zhong cared about her, and she was very happy in her heart, but after thinking about it for a while, she asked doubtfully, "What can I do if I don't want to be a nurse?"

He said with some worry: "Besides, it's hard to find a job now."

What He Xiaoping said was not nonsense. As the educated youths who went to the countryside returned to the city one after another, there were only so many jobs, one radish and one hole. Now I don’t know how many young people who have returned to the city are waiting for work at home, just hanging out on the streets all day long.

He Xiaoping came back from the army, so it stands to reason that he should enter the hospital.

But the current job competition is too great, and everyone wants to enter the military hospital. He Xiaoping has no background and no connections, so the difficulty is naturally great. Fortunately, He Xiaoping performed well in the army and was commended. Her resume is good enough. It was assigned to the Second City Hospital.

"Isn't it reform and opening up? If there is no suitable job, we will start our own business."

"Start your own business?" He Xiaoping didn't quite understand Wang Zhong's words. After all, she was used to living in a planned economy, but she immediately reacted: "You mean we should become self-employed?"

Wang nodded and said, "Almost the same meaning."

"Can this work?" He Xiaoping felt a little terrified, the experience of her father was still in front of her eyes.

Wang Zhong held He Xiaoping's hand, and comforted him softly: "Now it's not like before. Reform and opening up have not only changed policies."

"If a country wants to be prosperous and strong, industry is the foundation, and the economy is the catalyst. Now the reform and opening up in Shencheng is in full swing. I heard that the results are quite remarkable."

"Let's see!" Although He Xiaoping trusted Wang Zhong's words, He Xiaoping was a little worried about the future situation and how the situation would change.

Looking at He Xiaoping's expression, Wang Zhong couldn't guess her worry: "I'm just suggesting, if you really like being a nurse, I will definitely support you."

"Thank you, Liu Feng!" Just as He Xiaoping finished speaking, a familiar but surprised voice suddenly came from behind.

"Liu Feng? Xiaoping?"

Xiao Suizi had just finished her report from the Department of Literature, put her bedding and luggage in the dormitory, and sent her father, who had sent her to enroll, out of the school, and couldn't wait to run to Mo Minghu.

Unexpectedly, just walking around the lake for a while, I saw two familiar figures on the bench not far in front of me. When I got closer, I saw that they were Wang Zhong and He Xiaoping who had just parted from her at the station of the art troupe in Spring City. two people.

And looking at their intimate appearance, they look like a couple.

"tassel!"

"Xiao Suizi?"

Wang Zhong and He Xiaoping turned their heads and saw that the person who appeared in front of them was Xiao Suizi who had just parted for a while.

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Suizi walked up to the two in surprise, looked at the two who behaved intimately, his eyes trembled, and his pupils shrank suddenly: "Are you married?"

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "I just got the certificate a few days ago."

"Congratulations!" Xiao Suizi looked at the intimate actions of the two, felt the sweet atmosphere of the two, and smiled involuntarily on his face: "We have to make up for the wedding."

Xiao Suizi was probably the only one among the Yingying and Yanyan in the art troupe who didn't have too much prejudice and ridicule towards He Xiaoping.

"Are you free today?" Wang Zhong asked.

"Today?" Xiao Suizi was completely unprepared.

"Choosing a day is worse than bumping into a day. I think today is pretty good. Of course, if you don't have time, then choose another day!" Wang Zhong didn't mean anything else, he just said it casually.

Fortunately, Xiao Suizi has not experienced the baptism of the Internet.

"I'm free, of course I'm free!" Xiao Suizi was very happy, Wang Zhong was willing to invite her to drink the wedding wine with him and He Xiaoping, even if it was just to make up, it was enough to make her happy.

"It's almost noon. Are you afraid that we will kidnap you and come with me later?" Wang Zhong said with a smile.

Xiao Suizi was not afraid: "There's nothing to be afraid of, you two are not tigers."

"Women don't give way to men!" Wang Zhong gave a thumbs up: "You are worthy of being a female warrior of our art troupe."

"Let's talk about it first, the place we are going to is a bit far away!"

"how far?"

"About half of Yanjing!"

"That's okay! My family lives on the edge of Nanluoguxiang, so it must not be far from where we are going."

"Then let's go!" Wang Zhong held He Xiaoping's hand, Xiao Suizi walked beside He Xiaoping, and the three of them walked side by side in the boulevard of Yanda campus.

"By the way, why did the two of you come to Yanda? Didn't you come to find me on purpose?" After chatting with Wang Zhong for a while, Xiao Suizi's words also opened up.

"Look how beautiful you are!" Wang Zhong squinted at him: "You can go to Yanda University, but we can't?"

He Xiaoping smiled and said nothing.

The smile on Xiao Suizi's face froze, and he turned his head to look back and forth between Wang Zhong and He Xiaoping: "Are you really here to sign up for both?"

He Xiaoping explained: "Liu Feng was admitted to the medical university next door, and I accompanied him to sign up."

"University of Medicine?" Xiao Suizi was really shocked. The University of Medicine is the best among medical schools, no worse than Yanda.

Xiao Suizi never expected that Wang Zhong could be admitted to a medical university.

"Liu Feng, why... how come you want to study medicine?" Although he was shocked that Wang Zhong was admitted to the medical university next door, Xiao Suizi is not that fledgling stunned young man after all, he still knows a little bit about the world , knowing what to say and what not to say.

Moreover, this question also confused her. Wang Zhong was a dancer in the art troupe. He knew how to do carpentry.

"Perhaps I have experienced too many life and death on the battlefield, watching those young and fresh lives quietly passing away, I want to do something! But I think it may be more curious and fearful!"

"Afraid?" Xiao Suizi really did not expect to hear such an answer from Wang Zhong's mouth.

A hero who is brave and fearless on the battlefield, who is not afraid of life and death, and who comes out of the hail of bullets, is also afraid.

Wang Zhong did not explain, but suddenly changed his voice: "In the past, the country was divided, foreign enemies spied on, and the people of the country had no faith, and they were all driven by the desire for profit. Mr. Lu Xun once said that studying medicine could not save the country, so he immediately abandoned medicine and followed literature. .

But now, our country has ended those years of darkness and suffering. Our ancestors have worked hard, poured flesh and blood, and the red flag made of blood is flying over this land. In exchange for the present peace, a new and A bright future is coming soon, faith has been preserved, and the war is almost over. If he can practice medicine to help the world, it will be a good story. "

Looking at the narcissistic Wang Zhong, Xiao Suizi couldn't hold back her laughter anymore.

"Hanging the pot to help the world for the common people, rejuvenation with a wonderful hand and a strong heart!"

After laughing, Xiao Suizi suddenly said a few words: "Liu Feng is still the same Liu Feng as before."

"I accept your auspicious words!" Wang Zhong clasped his fists at Xiao Suizi in a fake manner.

Xiao Suizi's pear blossoms spread out when she smiled, and she almost closed her mouth.

"By the way, Xiaoping, you have changed your job now, right?" Xiao Suizi didn't continue to argue with Wang Zhong, fearing that her stomach would hurt from laughing any longer, so she chatted with He Xiaoping instead.

"Yes! In the second hospital of the city!" He Xiaoping changed from the sunny and free-spirited days when she was with Wang Zhong in the past, and said everything, but when she faced Xiao Suizi, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

No one is perfect, and He Xiaoping is naturally not a saint.

The bicycle was left at the school, and the three of them boarded the bus. Wang Zhong didn't even think about taking Xiao Suizi out to eat out. Now is the time to spend money, so there is no need to waste it.

The couple took Xiao Suizi straight to the vegetable market, bought a fish, and cut five catties of mutton. Xiao Suizi watched Wang Zhong chat with the butcher, added some money, and bought four mutton backbones, and More than a dozen pairs of sheep's hooves filled a basket full, and I was a little stunned.

"Why do you buy so much? And there's not much meat left." Xiao Suizi looked at the big box in Wang Zhong's hand with a puzzled expression.

"You don't understand, these are all good things!" Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"Sheep bones can still be used to stew soup, but the sheep's hooves..." He Xiaoping rolled her eyes: "It's hard and has little meat, can it be delicious?"

Wang Zhong chuckled and said, "The braised pork a few days ago, who ate up his stomach, lying on the kang holding his stomach and yelling uncomfortable!"

He Xiaoping's pretty face blushed, and Xiao Suizi was watching beside her, wishing she could find a crack in the ground and sneak in: "Oh!"

Looking at this scene, Xiao Suizi was happy for them, but at the same time, she couldn't help feeling a little envious in her heart.

Inexplicably, the figure playing the trumpet appeared in his mind.

Immediately, I felt a little sad, Wang Zhong and He Xiaoping could be regarded as lovers who finally got married, but where is her Chen Can now?

After buying the vegetables, Wang Zhong and He Xiaoping brought Xiao Suizi back to their nest.

"Outside is the living room and kitchen, and inside is the bedroom. It's not big, and the total is only about forty square meters. Everything is pretty good, but there is no toilet, so we can only go to the public toilet outside." He Xiaoping introduced to Xiao Suizi.

If he had just crossed over, Wang Zhong would not be able to adapt, but after staying in the army for nearly a year and getting used to living in groups, Wang Zhong gradually got used to it.

Even when the war broke out at the beginning of the year, let alone the toilet, there was no toilet paper. Many times, Wang Zhong used sticks and leaves to solve the problem.

Wang Zhong also gradually understood why the people who rushed into the battle and shed blood and tears against the hail of bullets were basically men. If it was a woman who went up, nothing else, just personal hygiene would be a problem.

During the war, there was not so much toilet paper that could be supplied in sufficient quantities, but the southern border of Yunnan has a lot of rain, so it seems that washing directly with water is also possible.

"It's quite big!" Xiao Suizi was sitting at the square table, looking around the room, and kept nodding, "Not bad!"

"Is this the house you rented?" Xiao Suizi asked curiously.

"Xiaoping's unit!" Wang Zhong said.

"Xiao Ping, isn't your company's treatment too good? You just started working, and you were given such a big house?" Xiao Suizi was really happy for He Xiaoping.

"It's okay!" He Xiaoping blushed a little.

But Wang Zhong said proudly: "That is, you don't even look, whose daughter-in-law is it!"

"Ouch!" Xiao Suizi became sour: "See if I can give you."

Wang Zhong still looked proud: "There is no way, the doctor said, I have a bad stomach, I can't digest too hard food, I can only eat softer food."

He Xiaoping didn't quite understand, and Xiao Suizi didn't realize it at first, but then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of it.

Then he raised his hand to cover his mouth, leaning forward and backward with a smile, showing off his beauty.

"Liu Feng, when did you become so thick-skinned?" Xiao Suizi couldn't stop laughing.

Wang Zhongdao: "I've walked to the gate of hell for several times, what's the use of shame?"

"Admiration! Admiration!" Xiao Suizi cupped his fists, pretending to be serious.

"Xiao Ping, you roll the dumpling wrappers, and I'll cut the meat, tassel, you sit down first, and help me later when the dumplings are made."

"I'll go wash the side dishes!" Xiao Suizi volunteered, and the celery needs to be chosen first.

Wang Zhong was not polite to her, soaked a bowl of pepper water, took the mutton and mutton spine to the sink outside to wash.

He Xiaoping is in charge of kneading and kneading the dough, and her movements are so skillful that she has done a lot at home before.

In fact, there are almost no girls in this era who can't cook. Even those from high-ranking families, regardless of gender, have basically helped in the kitchen under the guidance of their parents.

When I was in the art troupe, as long as it was a bag of dumplings, the chief secretary would call on everyone to help.

Wang Zhong first cut the sheep scorpions into large pieces and blanched them in a pot under cold water.

Then cut the mutton into pieces, cut the celery washed by Xiao Suizi into pieces, and cut the carrots into cubes.

Wang Zhong is proficient in sword skills, and he can handle swords like flying. Xiao Suizi felt that in terms of sword skills alone, even the master chefs in the art troupe's cafeteria might not have Wang Zhong's skills.

Xiao Suizi's eyes were full of splendor.

Even the gaze towards Wang Zhong has changed.

Mix the mutton with celery and carrot respectively, add various seasonings, stir until even, and make two kinds of meat fillings.

After adjusting the stuffing, Wang Zhong then fried the sheep scorpion with heavy oil until slightly charred, then put it in a pressure cooker, and put it on the stove to simmer.

Xiao Suizi helped He Xiaoping knead the dough into long strips and cut them into pieces.

With a rolling pin in each hand, He Xiaoping is very skillful. Pressing the two ingredients with the palm, turning and rolling, the two dumpling skins can be formed in just a few seconds.

Wang Zhong didn't go to help, but went to the pool outside to pick up the goat's hooves.

"Oh, Xiao Liu, why do you buy so many lamb spines and hooves? Although the lamb spines have no meat, at least they can be stewed in soup, but your lamb hooves are heavy, and you don't have much meat. , and it takes a lot of effort to do..."

The person who was talking was Aunt Wu who was at the opposite door. With the bowl of braised pork last time, Wang Zhong and He Xiaoping had labeled Aunt Wu as a good boy.

But looking at it now, this young man is definitely not good at living.

"Auntie, I didn't spend a lot of money, so it's half sold and half given away." Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"It's half sold and half free. I think you are just being fooled!" Aunt Wu shook her head, hating iron and steel, and said, "I don't know how to live when I see you. You are still too young. If you don’t have enough money, go buy a few more pieces of pork belly, and it’s good to make fried noodles!”

"How many meals can I eat!"

"Why didn't I think of that." Wang Zhong gave a thumbs up: "Aunt Wu still knows how to live, and I have to ask Xiaoping to learn more from you in the future."

These words made Aunt Wu's words happy, and she pulled Wang Zhong to teach her the tricks of life.

After cleaning the sheep's hooves briefly, Wang Zhong took out a small stove from the house, which was filled with burning coals, and burned the sheep's hoofs at the door of his house, and then burned the iron tongs. If it is red, burn the wool dirt in those difficult crevices on the sheep's hooves with red-hot iron tongs, and then clean it up.

After Wang Zhong finished packing the sheep's hooves, He Xiaoping and Xiao Suizi's dumplings were also cooked.

It was just before three o'clock in the afternoon, and the three of them gathered at a table, eating dumplings and savory lamb scorpions.

"Liu Feng, I didn't expect you to have such a skill!" Xiao Suizi gave Wang Zhong a thumbs up: "The stuffing of this dumpling is perfect!"

"Eat more if it tastes good!" He Xiaoping said.

Xiao Suizi was taken aback, looking at He Xiaoping whose eyes were full of Wang Zhong, seemed to understand something.

······
Time flies, and seeing the end of the year is approaching, the work of He Xiaoping Hospital is the same as usual, without any changes, but the relationship with colleagues is not bad.

Wang Zhong's first novel has been serialized in Yanjing Publishing House for quite a while.

This time Wang Zhong did not continue to use "Changjin Lake" and "Bright Sword" which were adapted when he was in the world, but used a new story - "My Brother is Shunliu"

Because he is a newcomer writer, the manuscript fee will naturally not be too high, but because Wang Zhong's writing skills are sophisticated and the novel is extremely well written, the publishing house still gave him a salary of twelve thousand characters.

In half a year's work, Wang Zhong took several thousand yuan just for the manuscript fee.

Wang Zhong didn't use these thousands of dollars for anything else, it was all spent on the surprise he prepared for He Xiaoping.

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, He Xiaoping came back from get off work with a preoccupied look, even absent-minded about eating.

"Xiaoping, what's the matter? Did something happen?" Wang Zhong asked with concern.

He Xiaoping looked at Wang Zhong: "I met my mother in the hospital today!"

"Your mother?" Wang Zhong asked suspiciously, "Why did she go to the hospital? Didn't she come here specially to find you?"

He Xiaoping shook her head and said, "She's going for a check-up!"

Wang Zhong understood He Xiaoping a bit: "It's quite dangerous for her to have a baby at this age!"

He Xiaoping is 21 this year, and her mother is in her 40s, which doesn't mean she can't give birth, but at her age, she is already an advanced maternal age.

"Worried about her?" Wang Zhong looked at her and asked in a low voice.

He Xiaoping nodded.

Although He Xiaoping's life in her stepfather's house was not good, she was not treated harshly. Both her stepfather and mother did not miss her, and even let her learn to dance.

Although He Xiaoping didn't like her stepfather's family, she didn't resent them. When she returned to Yanjing, she took Wang Zhong back home and brought a gift to her stepfather and mother, telling her that they were going to get married soon. things.

"Well, I'll go out and buy some supplements tomorrow, and let's go visit your mother together!"
