Chapter 4 The Missing Son of the Lin Family
Hou Daya's roar scared everyone around her.
The voice of Fangshan Ji Niaohou is extremely loud, like an air raid siren, and his quarrels are definitely the most famous in the surrounding courtyards.
Bao Yansheng, known as Changping Sitting Pao in the courtyard, is a man with a hot temper.
Now, when he heard that there was a thief in the yard, what could he do? He looked around, found a stick, shouted, and rushed over:
"Grandson, you're courting death. You sneaked into our No. 38 compound. I'm going to beat you!"
Lin Sanqi was wondering whether he had traveled through time, his eyes were confused, when suddenly a black shadow appeared in front of him. The shadow grew bigger and bigger, and then "bang" hit him on the head.
Lin Sanqi didn't have time to think any further. His eyes went dark and he fainted on the ground.
His face was covered in blood.
In a flash, everyone who was still watching the excitement gathered around, wanting to see what the thief looked like.
Hou Daya patted Bao Yansheng and praised excitedly:
"Wow~~ At the critical moment, you still have to be the cannon, you take action when it's time~~"
Bao Yansheng put down his stick, looking very pleased with himself:
"That's right, don't you see who I am? Hurry up and arrest this thief, Li Erlangzi, run and notify the police station~~"
Everyone in the yard was happy to see a thief caught in the yard. After all, there was a lack of entertainment in that era, and any gossip could spread all over the city.
At this time, a questioning voice came from the crowd:
"Oh, no, no, the more I look at this man's appearance, the more wrong he seems to be."
Hou Daya stretched her head and saw that it was Wu Xinhou from the west wing.
Wu Xinhou is a doctor at Kuanjie Chinese Medicine Hospital. His family has a gynecological tradition, so he is nicknamed "the gynecological expert". In fact, he is just a skinny old man in his 50s.
When Hou Daya heard Wu Xinhou's words were wrong, she felt dissatisfied:
"Hey, Old Wu, what's wrong? We asked him in advance, but this guy doesn't know anything. If he's not a thief, what is he?"
Wu Xinhou didn't say much. He squatted down, took the towel from Lin Sanqi's hand and wiped the blood off his face. He then pulled Lin Sanqi's hair aside to reveal his entire face. Then he said to everyone:
"Come, take another look at this face. Does it look familiar to you?"
Matchmaker Wang was a professional matchmaker on the street. She had seen countless people and was very sensitive to appearance. So she walked closer and took a look. She was also amazed:
"Needless to say, look, he looks 70% like the two sons of Lin Laoguang's family."
"Oh, that's right. If you don't tell me, I won't know. Once I tell you, it's true..."
"No wonder he looked familiar to me just now..."
"It's all this guy's fault. He attacked me without asking any questions..."
Bao Yansheng was furious when he heard this. Before he could say anything in reply, Wu Xinhou spoke again:
"I remember that in 1949, when the Lin family just moved here from the south, their youngest son got lost along the way. The Lin family searched for him for a long time but couldn't find any news. Do you think this person could be the missing third son of the Lin family?"
When these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and no one dared to be sure.
He came out of the Lin family's house and looked similar to the two boys of the Lin family. It is really possible that he is the third son of the Lin family.
But now the people in the courtyard just beat him up without thinking, which seems like bullying no matter how you look at it.
So everyone looked at Bao Yansheng. The previous blow was just an accidental attack and had nothing to do with anyone.
Bao Yansheng got angry as soon as he saw it:
"Hey, what's going on? Everyone played a role in catching the thief before, but now why are you all targeting me? Matchmaker Wang, didn't you ask me to go up and question him?"
Matchmaker Lin quickly waved her hands: "Stop talking nonsense! I asked you to go ask, not to hit anyone!"
Bao Yansheng looked at Hou Daya again: "Ji Niaohou, didn't you ask me to go up and beat him up before? Why are you acting so arrogant now?"
Of course Hou Daya refused to admit it and said:
"Stop framing me! When did I ever let you hit someone? Look how bloody he is! The police will come and take you back soon."
Bao Yansheng looked up at the sky speechlessly, muttering to himself:
"Dark, it's not even dark yet, why can't I tell if the person across from me is a human or a ghost?"
The old man had an idea: "Stop arguing. The Lin family is having a wedding in Banchang Hutong today. Go and call them back and let the Lin family identify him themselves. What if it's not him?"
When Bao Yansheng heard this, his eyes lit up: "Yes, what if it's not a Lin family member, but a thief, then wouldn't I have made a contribution?"
Wu Xinhou's second son, Wu Qingsheng, volunteered upon hearing this:
"I know whose house the Lin family is having dinner at today. I'll go call them right away."
After saying that, the little guy ran away.
When the people in the yard saw this, they complained about the thief and started to carry the "thief" to the platform in front of the house.
Wu Houxin was kind enough to take out some hemostatic drugs and began to provide simple treatment to the wounded.
At this time, they were in a large courtyard in Banchang Hutong.
Today is the wedding banquet for the second son of Li Jingming, an orthopedic doctor at Kuanjie Chinese Medicine Hospital, and the scene is also very lively.
The Li family, like the Lin family, is from Huadu City, Dongguan Province, and is authentic fellow villagers in this northern city.
As the saying goes, when fellow villagers meet, they stab each other in the back, so the Lin and Li families are close friends, and the whole Lin family came to the Li family's wedding.
Although it was called a wedding banquet, the main dishes were pickled vegetables and wild vegetables. A fish on each table was considered a staple dish, and some stir-fried shredded pork was a pleasant surprise.
There was no wine or soda.
However, the host family of the wedding banquet was from the south, and many of the relatives and friends who came were also from the south, so in addition to some steamed buns, each table also had a small bowl of rice for the first time.
Even for such a simple wedding banquet, the Li family had to sell off all their belongings, including many heirlooms, to raise the money and tickets, showing their utmost sincerity.
You should know that now the betrothal gift to marry a girl with a yellow H figure is only 50 kilograms of corn flour.
So ordinary people don’t hold wedding banquets at all. They can’t even get enough food to eat, so who has enough food to invite people to a banquet?
If you can buy two kilograms of fruit and candy, you are considered a very particular person.
At the Li family's wedding banquet, Lin Kucan's family sat at one table.
Lin Kucan, 55 years old this year, looks gentle and neatly dressed. He sits there smiling and chatting with others. At first glance, he looks like an old-fashioned scholar.
Lin Kucan's hometown is Huadu City, Dongguang Province. His family is a traditional Lingnan traditional Chinese medicine family. His specialty is treating typhoid fever and he is very famous in the local area.
After liberation in 1949, the capital was going to establish the first public Chinese medicine hospital in the country. In order to reflect the new atmosphere of the new country, famous Chinese medicine practitioners were recruited from all over the country to support the capital.
At the call of the Z government, Lin Kucan left his hometown with his family and came to this unfamiliar city, becoming one of the founding members of Kuanjie Chinese Medicine Hospital.
