Chapter 195: Those Years in the Great Northern Wilderness (31)
Chapter 195: Those Years in the Great Northern Wilderness (31)
Yun Tinglan already had the answer in her mind. The child often ran to Xiangzuo Village, where there was also a five-year-old girl, and the two often played together.
Although the adults were rightists who had been sent down to the countryside, the children were innocent. Besides, those rightists worked honestly, were educated and knowledgeable, and most people in the field were quite friendly to them.
The only difference is that Wang Aijun has to find some faults from time to time to show her firm stance. And because she likes to go to extremes, although everyone does not make things difficult for those right-wingers, they will not take the initiative to contact them either.
It was only because Shanwazi was young that Wang Aijun couldn't get angry, otherwise it would seem that she was deliberately bullying the child.
Yun Tinglan didn't ask Shanwazi, what could a six-year-old child explain clearly? She didn't write much in the letter, just asking her to help get a box of anti-inflammatory medicine and cough medicine.
The gold watch was the reward.
Upon investigation, it was found that Qi Shuyuan's daughter had pneumonia and it was impossible for her to leave the island for treatment. Even if Xu Jianmin turned a blind eye, the hospital would not accept her.
Li Ping can still find some food, but Yun Tinglan is the only one who can cure the disease.
Yun Tinglan did not take the watch, but asked Shanwazi to take it back and burn the letter.
At night, she asked Ling Xi to quietly place the medicine at the door of Qi's house. It was not Chinese medicine, but Western medicine stored in the space. After she prepared it, she ground it into powder. She still had a conscience to save the child, but she had to be on guard against others.
Chinese medicine is too obvious in its direction, so she won't take the risk.
As for letting them know who saved their daughter so that they can ask for a reward in the future? Forget it. Whatever the couple needs, they can get it themselves.
Song Jinhan also found out Li Ping's background through his connections.
His family has been poor peasants for eight generations. He has three older sisters. The eldest sister was sold early in her life, and the second and third sisters married local farmers.
That Qi Shuyuan should be his eldest sister who was sold in his early years.
The couple talked privately in the space, "Qi Shuyuan is Qi Zezhi's second wife. It is said that she is a socialite he met when he was lurking in Shanghai in his early years. She saved his life. In order to conceal his identity, he married her and gave her his husband's surname. The couple has a good relationship."
Isn't this right?
"Qi Shuyuan had multiple miscarriages in her early years and could no longer have children. The child was the daughter of Qi Zezhi's comrade-in-arms, and they treated her as their own."
The children of combat heroes should be given even more help and protection.
Yun Tinglan asked curiously, "Why were you labeled a rightist and sent down to the countryside?"
Song Jinhan only said four words, "Faction cleansing!"
After winter came, in addition to the people in the chartered vehicle group who went out to transport supplies every day, a wave of learning was set off in the field, and those who were illiterate participated in literacy classes.
While other people were attending the class, the couple gave lectures and also learned quotes from great men.
Song Jinhan took out several sets of selected quotations from great men from his bag. He bought a new edition of the Little Red Book every year, and now was the time to take them out.
They specially made a glass display case to store them, placed statues of great men in it, and hung photos of great men on the walls of the house.
When Xu Jianmin came in, he couldn't help but look him up and down. He just smiled and talked about business. "The headquarters is holding a mobilization meeting for the Great Leap Forward. You are in charge of agricultural production and machinery in our farm. You know more about it than I do. You should go to the meeting."
The Great Leap Forward? The Great Leap Forward with high targets, blind command, and exaggerated style! It's too late to avoid it, how can I take the initiative to participate!
The next day, Song Jinhan's old rheumatoid arthritis came back. The workers who had frostbitten in early spring also had leg pains. The couple were both stuck and unable to move.
It was at this time that a new batch of farm workers arrived.
People around them moved to warmer adobe houses. Yun Tinglan and her husband "carried forward their style" and continued to live in the old wooden house. The house closest to her home was converted into a clinic, and the others were allocated to new people.
Seeing Xiao Wenshu and Chen Dandan, Yun Tinglan didn't know what to say.
She estimated the distance and found that they lived quite close. Well, the days ahead would be lively.
"The day is hot now, with chickens flying and dogs shouting!"
Xu Jianmin spent the New Year's Eve dinner with Yun Tinglan and others. After eating and drinking, he was accidentally hit by a snowball thrown by the children as soon as he went out. He didn't get angry, but watched the lively scene happily.
Before leaving, he even joked, "When are you going to have children? Don't let them be so old by then."
Yun Tinglan actually calculated the time, and then was carried home, feeling very miserable.
Of course, the matter of having children still needs to be dealt with slowly, but the second generation of the poor in the farm are being born in batches. During the peak period, three families are born a day, and Yun Tinglan receives a lot of red eggs.
Someone knocked on the door again in the middle of the night. She thought there was a fire in someone's house, but the person who led the way took them to Xu Jianmin's residence.
"Can it be cured?"
After taking Yun Tinglan's pulse, Xu Jianmin pulled her aside, his expression full of concern.
Cataract surgery is just a minor operation, but she doesn't have the conditions for it. "Why don't you go to an eye hospital? It can be cured with surgery."
"First... He is resistant to anesthesia. The anesthesia is useless. He also has asthma."
That is quite tricky, as any movement of the patient undergoing eye surgery may result in the failure of the operation.
So you came to her to try acupuncture?
Xu Jianmin nodded.
That's no problem. "It just takes a little time. If it's surgery, you'll recover in a few days. I can help with acupuncture anesthesia." Are you sure you don't want to consider it?
This is a serious matter, "We can't do it lightly."
Well, it’s almost obvious that this old man has a special identity.
If you don't improve your favor now, when will you?
When Yun Tinglan saw the old man again, he was already awake. Seeing Yun Tinglan, he happily invited her to sit next to him, "Young comrade, your acupuncture is amazing. I haven't slept so comfortably in a long time!"
The long-term high-intensity work has made him a little nervous, and he has always been troubled by insomnia and poor sleep quality. When he woke up, he felt like he had taken a tonic and felt comfortable!
She is more confident that she can cure her cataracts.
The old gentleman was a person who could not sit still. He was not only interested in the experimental fields, medicinal fields, greenhouses, and cellars, but also had many questions, and his questions were always to the point.
The secretary was asked to write down carefully the answers given by Song Jinhan and the others.
Seeing the first draft of the "Medical Manual" on Yun Tinglan's desk, he picked it up curiously, took the glasses handed to him by the secretary, and read it page by page. The more he read, the more shocked he was. It covered the diagnosis and treatment of common symptoms, common pediatric diseases, how to prevent diseases, massage, and other content.
It was almost dinner time and the heated food was about to get cold, so the secretary had to interrupt him.
The old man then put down the book with a reluctant look on his face. "It's very practical! It's easy to understand. Even someone like me with no basic knowledge can understand it. It's worth promoting!"
He told Xu Jianmin, "This book will benefit the present and the people, and it will be a great merit! Xiao Xu, please take care of it and don't give Comrade Xiao Yun too many chores so that she can concentrate on perfecting it."
Xu Jianmin almost couldn't help but salute, nodded, and promised to complete the mission!
He then said to Song Jinhan, "Xiao Zheng, your rice planting techniques and water conservancy outlines should also be compiled into a book!"
The good impression achievement was achieved! The couple smiled in tacit understanding.
At night, the two of them guessed his identity and wrote three words on their palms. Then they smiled in tacit understanding. A great man who has gone through ups and downs and can lead China into a new era is worthy of respect.
