Wang Xiaolan and Zhao Lihan came to the kitchen.
Wang Xiaolan lifted the lid of the kettle, tested the water temperature with her finger, and said, "The water is not hot anymore, Lihan, add some more firewood."
Wang Xiaolan came to the stove and sat next to Zhao Lihan. She asked, "How was the talk with the captain?"
Zhao Lihan carried a handful of firewood to the stove in one hand, and with his other hand, he put his arm around Wang Xiaolan's waist and said, "I discussed this with him according to the plan we discussed at home beforehand."
"What's his attitude?"
"The captain was very happy and kept saying that we had suffered a loss."
"I didn't intend to make any money from this, but I was worried people would misunderstand us as having ulterior motives, so I'll just take a symbolic fee! My goal is to contract the village health center and transform it into a health and wellness hospital. This will be much more profitable than running a small factory."
“Can the brigade health station have such a huge profit margin?”
"Of course, it's a booming industry. When I was in the 21st century, the top three hospitals were packed every day. For example, it was so hard to get an appointment with my father that many people had to use connections to get him treatment. The studio my father and I opened was also packed every day."
Zhao Lihan looked at Wang Xiaolan with a puzzled expression and asked, "Is it really that exaggerated? Our provincial capital's big hospital isn't like what you said. Are people in the 21st century prone to illness?"
Wang Xiaolan was also stunned by Zhao Lihan's question.
I thought to myself, "In my past life, I had to pay for my medical treatment and hospitalization myself, but the hospital was more crowded than a market. The elevators were often packed with people coming in and out, making it hard to breathe. But now, hospitals are deserted. For those with jobs, medical treatment and hospitalization are reimbursed by their employers, and for those without, it's only half price. People in the countryside can only get free medicine in the village, and serious illnesses have to pay for them themselves."
Wang Xiaolan looked at Zhao Lihan's puzzled expression, smiled, and said, "Medical equipment in the 21st century is very advanced. People have a high standard of living and pay attention to health care. They go to the hospital for physical examinations every year to detect and treat early. For example, cancer has no symptoms in the early stages, and once it is discovered, it is impossible to treat. People in our generation don't pay attention to health care, so naturally fewer people go to the hospital."
Zhao Lihan nodded: "What you said is very reasonable. I wonder if I can survive until that era?"
"If you can make it, you'll only be in your seventies."
While they were talking, the water in the pot was boiling.
…
Just when Wang Xiaolan and Zhao Lihan were talking about the future.
Captain Shi and Xiaohua were making love in bed, enjoying themselves to the fullest.
Xia Wei stood alone guarding Xiao Maotuo's body, gently touching his cold body with his hands, tears streaming down his face.
In the bedroom, the captain and Xiaohua were heard screaming in bed. Xia Wei covered his ears with his hands, frowning.
He hated these two people for their inhumanity, but he could do nothing and could only shed tears silently.
He thought: "In my next life, I would rather be a slave than become a family with such a person."
The noise coming from the bedroom was like a needle piercing his heart, causing him unbearable pain.
He is crying.
At this moment, a person came in from outside the door.
He looked up and saw that it was Liu Jinhai who had not been home for several months.
I thought to myself: "I won't be alone anymore, I have someone to accompany me."
He shouted "Brother!" in surprise, but Liu Jinhai covered his mouth and signaled him not to speak. Xia Wei nodded repeatedly.
At this moment, ambiguous sounds were heard from the bedroom again.
Liu Jinhai kicked open the bedroom door and saw two people moving vigorously on the bed, with the bed board making a creaking sound.
He looked at the scene in front of him angrily and roared.
The two people were startled by the sudden sound and quickly sat up from the bed.
"Captain, what do you mean? You're having an affair with my mother, I admit it, but you're not even letting my sister go."
The captain, upon seeing that it was Liu Jinhai, didn't take it seriously and just chuckled.
"Brother, you've done just as much as I have. What's so great about this? If we weren't related, you would have been in jail long ago. How could you even be standing here?"
When Liu Jinhai heard the captain's words, he realized that he had done a lot of bad things, so he suppressed his anger.
The captain lit a cigarette, waved at him, and said, "Come here, I'll give you a chance to make a fortune."
Liu Jinhai walked over with a half-believing and half-doubting attitude,
He whispered something in Liu Jinhai's ear.
A happy smile appeared on Liu Jinhai's face.
"Captain, are you telling the truth?"
"Nonsense, am I the one who lied to you?"
"Then I'll do it right away, Xiaohua, serve the captain well."
Liu Jinhai ran out in a flash.
…
Wang Xiaolan and Zhao Lihan here have both prepared the medicine to be sent to the provincial capital tomorrow and are planning to take a rest.
Then I heard a loud noise downstairs, followed by the barking of the guard dog "Xiao Huang".
Wang Xiaolan and Zhao Lihan hurried to the yard and saw "Xiao Huang" barking wildly outside the yard.
Zhao Lihan quickly opened the gate of the yard, and "Xiao Huang" rushed out. A black shadow flashed and disappeared into the night.
He was about to chase after her when Wang Xiaolan stopped him.
"Forget it, don't chase him, be careful of traps."
At this time, "Xiao Huang" also came back and sneezed several times in a row.
