Under the pressure of President Lu, Zhang Xudong had no choice but to agree to a series of unequal contracts.
Normally, he goes to school, but when he needs to act up, he acts up. In special cases like serious illness, he is on call.
I see patients for one morning every Sunday and three days a week during holidays.
Salary, what salary do you want if you don't become a regular doctor? If you come, you'll get one yuan a day and a pound and a half of food coupons as a living allowance. If you don't come, you won't get any.
Zhang Xudong left the office dejected. Where was my freedom? Where was my carefree youth? It had just flown away.
Zhang Xudong arrived at He Jingxian's ward and greeted He's mother. He then pretended to take He Jingxian's pulse.
"Auntie, why don't you just go home tomorrow? I won't even give you an IV drip tomorrow, and the hospital environment isn't good. Covering the wound like this won't heal faster than letting it air dry at home."
Zhang Xudong said to He's mother.
"Okay, if you say it's good to go home, then let's go home. It's more convenient there. But you have to keep an eye on it and make sure nothing goes wrong."
"As long as the wound isn't red and swollen, it's fine. The bone-penetrating pills I gave her help with wound healing, so the gunshot wound will heal quickly. The ribs will probably take two months to fully heal.
I'm going back to the village now. My grandmother's former comrades want to see her."
"Old He told me this morning that he's going to the nursing home to pick up your Grandpa Zheng and the others, and he'll be here to pick you up soon.
"Alas, your grandmother's life was not easy. It was hard for her to raise your father during those chaotic times."
As he was speaking, Captain He opened the door, waved to Zhang Xudong at the door, and strode away. Zhang Xudong said goodbye to the mother and daughter and happily followed him.
When they arrived at the yard, Captain He was already sitting in the driver's seat of a jeep, and Mr. Zheng and his wife were sitting in the back seat.
Zhang Xudong quickly climbed to the passenger seat and closed the door.
"Hello, Grandpa Zheng, Grandma Zheng." Zhang Xudong had just finished greeting them when he heard Captain He say:
"Good job, kid, you're pretty proficient at getting on a car! Have you been on one before?"
"Uncle He, even if we haven't eaten pork, we must have seen a pig run. Wouldn't you have learned it if you saw others sitting there?" Zhang Xudong replied quickly. We can't afford to offend this gentleman in the future.
"I think you are just a pig." Captain He said unhappily.
"He Dapao, you're asking for a beating, aren't you? Dongzi is my grandson, whom I just recognized yesterday. If you call him a pig, then what am I?"
Grandpa Zheng was very unhappy when he heard this. He just met his grandson and he couldn't bear to see him being bullied by his own soldiers.
"Old company commander, please don't be angry. I know this, don't I? You don't know how mean this guy is.
"I asked my daughter to give him two puppies, and this wicked guy shot my daughter. And he took advantage of her. Isn't that infuriating?" He Pao didn't dare to say anything more and explained aggrievedly.
"Okay, okay, Jing is a good girl, I like her. Now I even have a granddaughter-in-law. Let's pick a date and get engaged right away." Old Master Zheng acted as if he was making a decision for his granddaughter.
Captain He's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot after being blocked by these words, and he glared at Zhang Xudong fiercely. "I can't afford to offend the old captain, but can't I deal with you?"
Zhang Xudong shuddered at the stare and became an ostrich.
Eighteen miles, about twenty minutes to get there. Zhang Xudong guided the car to park in front of his house.
As soon as the car stopped, Zhang Xudong got out and helped the old couple Zheng out of the car.
Zhang Xudong pushed open the gate and led the three of them into the yard. Inside, seven little guys were practicing their punches, making a series of loud laughs.
"The back is straight, the arms are level, the punches are swift with the movement of the waist, and the punches are retracted smoothly with the body steady. Not bad, well practiced." Grandpa Zheng looked at it and said.
"Grandpa Zheng and Grandma Zheng, they are all my sister's friends. Teaching one is the same as teaching two. I just let them follow the company." Zhang Xudong explained.
"Zhang Xiyan, come and meet your grandparents and uncle." Zhang Xudong called Zhang Xiyan over to meet them.
Then he said to the other children, "Little ones, we have guests at home today. Go back to your own homes and find your own mothers."
"Where's my little sister's grandmother?"
"Grandma is adding hot water to the kang," Zhang Xiyan replied.
"Grandma, come out quickly and see who's here," Zhang Xudong shouted into the house as he led the three of them towards the main room.
"Just come back, you naughty monkey. Why are you making so much noise?" Grandma said as she walked out of the main room.
"Grandma, look who this is?" Zhang Xudong gestured to the nanny to look at the person behind him.
"Isn't this your Uncle He? How could I not recognize him? Uncle He, why are you so free today..."
Before grandma could finish her sentence, she saw Mr. and Mrs. Zheng looking at her with tears in their eyes.
"You, you are Chen Meizhu? Is it you?" Grandma wiped her eyes with the corner of her clothes and looked at the other person again.
"Sister Jin Xiu, it's me! We have been looking for you for more than ten years! We finally found you, Sister Lin." Grandma Zheng said with tears.
This was incredible. The two old ladies hugged each other and cried heartily. Zhang Xudong had never seen his grandmother cry like this before. Even when his father passed away, she only cried when no one was around.
Zhang Xudong looked at her and decided that crying like this wouldn't work. If the two old ladies got hurt, it would only bring him trouble.
"Grandma, don't just cry by yourself! There's someone else who wants to cry but hasn't cried yet." Zhang Xudong pulled his grandmother and pointed at Grandpa Zheng and said.
Zhang Xudong's words made Mr. Zheng's neck muscles bulge with anger. What kind of a jerk did I adopt as my grandson?
After hearing what her grandson said, Grandma Zhang looked over at Grandpa Zheng. The old lady didn't react; she was used to it. If her grandson didn't act up one day, she would have to send him to the hospital.
Grandma Zheng couldn't help laughing after hearing this. She was stunned for a moment, and then she burst into laughter with tears in her eyes. A woman in her late sixties, her laughter was like a rose after rain.
Grandma looked at Grandpa Zheng for a moment and said, "Are you Brother Dajiang?"
"Sister-in-law, it's me. I'm Zheng Dajiang. Zheng Dajiang, who has been fighting the warlords with you and Brother Zhang for over a year.
Meizhu and I both learned to read from you, and you were the matchmaker for us. But, but I feel so sorry for you."
As Mr. Zheng spoke, he bent down deeply, his back always straight even though he was injured. Tears fell like beads into the dust and shattered.
Grandma didn't let him stand up, but just looked at him and asked:
"Brother Hui, is there any news?"
