Chapter 502 Grandpa Zhang's Request
Liu Jingxue was walking home after work in the morning. On the way, she saw a cowshed nearby and wondered whether she should tell them that Grandpa Zhang had called.
But then I thought, I didn't even know what Grandpa Zhang wanted to say on the phone. If I went over to tell them, it would just make them worry. It would be better to tell them in the evening after I picked up the phone.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Jingxue packed up and prepared to set off for the commune.
Thinking of bringing something for Secretary Yan, Liu Jingxue knew that he would definitely not accept anything too valuable. After thinking for a moment, she took out a vegetable basket and got a free-range pheasant, a wild rabbit, and some fresh mushrooms from the space.
Secretary Yan said he was a commune cadre and lived in the commune, but in fact he was also a peasant and his hometown was a nearby brigade.
Like the team leader, he had served in the army and became a team cadre after retiring. Because of his outstanding work ability, he was promoted to the commune and worked there for many years.
Liu Jingxue had been to the commune several times. Every household had a small vegetable garden and there was no problem in supplying their own vegetables, so she did not take any vegetables.
As for these mountain products, the commune is far away from the mountains, so they are not as easy to get as in the Red Star Production Team.
Taking these mountain products over won't be too expensive, people won't dare to accept them, and it can also express your thoughts.
After locking the door, Liu Jingxue went out with her vegetable basket.
At that time, everyone was working in the fields, and I didn't meet anyone along the way. I was only seen by the children at the entrance of the village.
"Sister Xiaoxue, where are you going?" Seeing Liu Jingxue coming, the children greeted her one after another.
Liu Jingxue took out the candy she had prepared early in the morning from her pocket and gave one to each of them.
"Sister, go answer the phone. This morning, the commune secretary came to tell you that someone called and asked for you.
You forgot that it was Tiedan who brought him to the field to find me."
"Sister Xiaoxue, we remember that grandpa came to our village to look for you several times."
"Sister Xiaoxue, are you going to the commune to answer the phone? Is the commune fun?"
A child who had been to the commune answered first, "The commune is not fun at all, the town is more fun.
The town has a state-owned restaurant, a cinema, and a park, but the commune has nothing.”
Seeing that their friend had been to the town, the children who had not been there hurriedly asked him about things in the town.
Seeing that the children's attention was attracted, Liu Jingxue breathed a sigh of relief, greeted the aunties who were watching the children nearby, but walked towards the commune with the vegetable basket.
When they arrived at the commune, there was still some time before 3 p.m. Liu Jingxue was worried that going too early would affect Secretary Yan's work, so she walked around the commune.
There was also a small supply and marketing cooperative on the commune side. Liu Jingxue scanned it with her spiritual sense and found that there were not many goods in it. It was far inferior to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town. No wonder the people in the production team would rather go to the town than come to the commune.
If you come here with all the effort and there is no goods, it would be a wasted trip.
Thinking that the time was about right, Liu Jingxue went to the government office building. After speaking to the guard, she was allowed in directly. It seemed that Secretary Yan had given instructions in advance.
Liu Jingxue went straight to Secretary Yan’s office.
The two exchanged greetings and Liu Jingxue also presented her own gift.
Secretary Yan repeatedly delayed accepting it, but under Liu Jingxue's repeated requests, he finally accepted it, saying that it would not happen again.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the phone on the desk rang on time.
Secretary Yan smiled and said, "It must be Commander Zhang calling. Liu Zhiqing, just answer the phone. I won't bother you anymore. I'll find another place to work.
Just help me close the door, I have a meeting and won't be back for a while."
"Okay, Secretary Yan."
Liu Jingxue picked up the phone and heard Grandpa Zhang's voice, "Hello, I'm looking for Liu Jingxue."
"Grandpa Zhang, it's me, Xiaoxue."
Secretary Yan walked out of the office and closed the door.
"Xiaoxue, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, Grandpa Zhang, I've only been here for a while, I didn't wait long."
The two chatted for a while, asked about each other's recent situation, and then Mr. Zhang got to the point.
"Xiaoxue, Grandpa called you because he had no other choice but to do it."
Liu Jingxue's heart skipped a beat. What had happened to make Grandpa Zhang say this?
Could it be that someone put pressure on Grandpa Zhang to deal with me?
That shouldn't be the case. Zheng Pengcheng shouldn't have told the Zheng family about his affairs. The Zheng family is having a hard time protecting themselves now and has no energy to deal with him.
Besides, they don’t know their relationship with Grandpa Zhang.
The post office had already used its own methods, and outsiders had no way of knowing who they were communicating with.
"Grandpa Zhang, what happened?
Is it related to me or to my uncle and the others?" Liu Jingxue asked worriedly.
Hearing the uneasiness in Liu Jingxue's words, Mr. Zhang quickly comforted her, "Xiaoxue, don't guess blindly, it's not a bad thing.
Last year, didn’t you send me the medicine you made and ask me to help find someone to test it?
Your medicine is so effective that the director of the military hospital here has been eyeing it. That old man keeps urging me to get more.
But it snowed all last winter, and there were no medicinal herbs, so we couldn’t make medicine. You sent me a batch of medicine last month.
My goodness, when the old guy found out, he ran straight to my house and blocked the door.
If I hadn’t been smart and given some medicine that your uncle Zou and his friends could use that day, I’m afraid he would have taken all of it.”
"The medicine you sent is so effective. Although the dosage is quite large, you are also aware of the situation in the army. Although there are no large-scale battles right now, there are still many local and secret incidents, and many soldiers are injured.
The hemostatic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-infective drugs you sent were quickly used up, and even the antipyretic drugs were almost all used up.
After using your good medicines, the soldiers' survival rate has been greatly improved. The old man no longer cares about other medicines on the market and keeps urging me to get more medicines every day.
I know you have to work in the fields every day. It's not easy to make these medicines. How can you have so much time to make them?
I broke all this down and told the old guy about it, but he wouldn't listen. He came to block me every day and tried to play the emotional card with me.
They said that after I became the commander-in-chief of a military region, I no longer cared about the lives of the soldiers, allowing them to suffer from injuries and die because of the lack of good medicine and treatment.
He was talking with tears and snot flying all over his face, and it made me cry in pain too."
"I am not as cold-blooded as he said. I feel sadder than anyone else when soldiers are injured and sacrificed.
But the military district is so large and there are so many injured soldiers. How many people can you save with the medicine you make by yourself?
You are a kind-hearted child. If he knew that your medicine was so effective, he would work hard to make it and exhaust himself.
But the old guy said that he didn't ask you to make more medicine. He knew that you couldn't make much medicine on your own. So he asked me to ask you if you could provide the prescription to the military so that the army could open a pharmaceutical factory to make these medicines.
He either sits in my office or comes to my house to bother me every day. I am really exhausted and have no choice but to shamelessly call you to ask you. "
Grandpa Zhang's words were a little hesitant, and his voice was a little lighter, "Xiaoxue, regarding the medicines I just mentioned, can you provide the prescriptions to our military region so that we can produce them with all our strength?
The main thing is that your medicine is so good, it is life-saving and can save the lives of many of our soldiers.
Don't worry, we're not asking you to give it to us for free. Just ask us for any conditions you have, and we'll do our best to meet them."
