New Year's first blessing
When the provincial medical team was leaving, Director Sun pulled Zhou Huaiyue aside and gave him another round of persuasion. He insisted that he leave the hospital's phone number and told him that if he had figured it out, he must come to the province to find him.
The next day, on New Year's Eve, Shen Roujiao got up early and went to visit Wang Li's mother. She had recovered well and would be able to go home for the New Year tomorrow. As they were chatting, a little boy ran over, knelt down at Shen Roujiao's feet, and kowtowed three times, "Thank you, sister, for saving me."
Behind the boy was an old woman with a hunched back. She kept bowing and repeating "thank you" on her weather-beaten face.
Shen Roujiao, who had never received such a gift, was frightened at first, then quickly pulled the boy up and brushed the dirt off his knees, "What is this? This is what I should do."
The old man wiped his tears and said, "You helped him save his life, so you deserve this kowtow."
She is the boy's grandmother. The boy has a hard life. His father died of illness two years ago, and his mother died in the plague, leaving only the old and the young to depend on each other. Today, the boy returned home and came to thank Shen Roujiao for saving his life before leaving.
The strong sense of accomplishment of saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Shen Roujiao feels particularly good, as if there is a light shining above her head. It is the glory of defeating the god of death.
When sending the children and the elderly to the car, she stuffed fifty yuan into the boy's pocket, hoping that they could have a good New Year.
Shen Roujiao, who was enjoying the spiritual highlight, looked at Zhou Huaiyue again and couldn't understand why he could be so calm after saving so many people. "Master, aren't you happy to save people?"
"Not bad." His face was expressionless without any emotion.
He used to be a young man who would be excited for several days after saving someone. But later, when he encountered injustice, no one cared how many people he had saved. Even the people he had saved jumped out to blame and slander him, thinking that he deserved it.
From then on, Zhou Huaiyue seldom said that he knew medicinal herbs and medical skills. He gave up on himself and others. Saving or not saving made no difference to him. He just felt indifferent and thought that the world was not worth it.
…
Wu Yi arranged a vehicle, prepared New Year's goods in advance according to Mayor Lu's arrangement, and returned to Hedong Village with their two masters.
The car stopped at the medicinal materials purchasing station at the entrance of the village. Zhou Huaiyue walked around inside and outside and was very satisfied with the wall introducing the medicinal materials.
When a few people were carrying New Year's goods and walking towards Shen's house, the aunties along the way were surprised and happy to see that it was Zhou Huaiyue who came back. They were surprised because he had been gone for more than three months and they thought he would never return to Yunnan; they were happy because the whole village knew that he understood medicinal materials and could lead everyone to become rich.
It is no exaggeration to say that we were welcomed. Along the way, we were greeted warmly by fellow villagers:
"Oh, isn't this Zhou Zhiqing? It's great that you're back!"
"Jiaojiao, educated youth, I asked your father yesterday and he said he didn't know what was going on. Look, you're back now."
"I almost mistook Zhou Zhiqing for Xiao Gu because of the look in my eyes. Jiaojiao, why didn't your partner come back with you?"
!
Oh my god, you are really bringing up something irrelevant.
Shen Roujiao turned her head away guiltily, trying hard to pretend that she didn't hear it.
!
Patron? Target? The county magistrate’s daughter-in-law?
In an instant, Zhou Huaiyue understood all the information of the gossip. Could it be that there really was such a thing as the county chief's son?
!
Target? In addition to Zhou Huaiyue, is there anyone else?
Wu Yi previously thought that Zhang Qingjun was Zhou Huaiyue's only love rival, but now it seems that he is nothing. The girl already has a boyfriend, so both of them are working in vain.
The style of the painting gradually went astray, and many people even praised and questioned Chang Geng. Seeing that she could no longer cover up by pretending, Shen Roujiao decided to throw the pot into the ground.
"Shen Roujiao, how many partners do you have?" Zhou Huaiyue's attitude was not any better.
Just after seeing off a soldier, another patron came.
She was very tight-lipped and never mentioned it in the letter. What on earth was Shen Roujiao doing during the few months he was away?
"If I say no, do you believe me?" She couldn't explain the matter of the villager's son-in-law, Gu Changgeng, for a while. She could only make it as simple as possible, believe it or not.
"Letter." Zhou Huaiyue did not hesitate for a moment. If the letter did not mention a word, it would mean that it was not worth mentioning.
? Oh, I believe you.
…
When they entered the Shen family's yard, Jixiang Ruyi saw Zhou Huaiyue. His tail was about to wag with joy, and he fluttered in his arms for a long time.
Shen Roujiao is most concerned about the health of her father and third brother. This time the meningitis broke out in Xiaonanchuan. The special medicine prescribed by Zhou Huaiyue had a cure rate of up to 97.2%, which enabled the plague to be quickly brought under control and did not spread to Hedong Village.
There is nothing more gratifying than seeing them healthy and well.
Since she was reborn through the book, Shen Roujiao:
She made money and created wealth;
She has done it by reducing disasters and eliminating suffering;
She also helped the Shen family change their fate.
It is not easy to take each step forward.
Next,
In the case of finding relatives and filing a complaint, Wang Jianxin deserves the punishment, the only thing missing is finding his relatives!
Apart from this, nothing can stop Shen Roujiao from moving forward. After this year, it will be the year of 1980 when I think China will be a success!
She wants to spread her wings and fly, and be nominated on the list.
"We'll set out to look for mom tomorrow." After listening to Zhou Huaiyue's story about what he saw and heard in Nanshan Village, especially about the red scar on Tan Cuimei's wrist, the second brother Shen Tiancheng stood up from the stool and expressed the common thoughts of the Shen family.
Taking into account the long journey here, the epidemic situation has just stabilized, the medicinal materials business, etc., the result of the discussion is: the eldest brother Shen Tianhua and Zhou Huaiyue, Shen Roujiao and the other two will go to Ping An together.
After forcing Wu Yi to stay and finish his dumplings, he left to prepare train tickets for everyone to catch up to Ping An the next day.
Returning to the educated youth's yard, Zhou Huaiyue found that the yard was cleaner and tidier than before during the months he was away.
"Did you clean it?" He frowned and asked Shen Roujiao beside him.
"It's my dad! He often brings Fifteen here to play. He cleans the place by the way."
"Fifteen?" Zhou Huaiyue finally understood why Jixiang Ruyi was called Fifteen. In fact, at first they were afraid that Wang Jianxin would take revenge and poison the two dogs. Later, when the Shen family's herbal medicine business was doing well, they didn't need his father's fifteen yuan salary every month, so they just let him take care of the dogs full-time.
Mr. Shen takes Fifteen with him wherever he goes, and they are happy every day with their two dogs.
Zhou Huaiyue found the key on the door frame and opened the door. The paintings on the wall were still there, and a new picture of a little fox was pasted on the empty space in the middle: the cute and playful one sniffing the red flowers of the other shore.
Seeing him looking up, Shen Roujiao explained, "It won't look good if there's a blank space. This painting fits perfectly here."
"Do you like it?" Suddenly, Zhou Huaiyue's gaze fell into her eyes.
"I like it. The little fox is so cute." I like every one of them.
He rarely smiled at Shen Roujiao, his eyes flickering with tenderness, and the subject changed abruptly: "What's the matter with Xiao Gu?"
Just say it, believe it.
Shen Roujiao explained the matter of Gu Changgeng and his junior from beginning to end. She said everything that could be said and left out everything that could not be said. Because she was Gu Changgeng's master, Zhou Huaiyue was bound to be furious. It was not a good thing to be angry during the New Year.
He attached great importance to the word "Master". Thinking of this, Shen Roujiao became curious and asked slyly, "Master, is Sister Wang Li very beautiful?"
The brothers of the Shen family didn't dare to look at her for too long. Wu Yi was amazed when she saw her. Zhang Qingjun also said that she was beautiful. She wanted to know what Zhou Huaiyue's attitude was.
?
What does she mean.
I asked Gu Changgeng if the whole village said he was her target. She asked Wang Li if it was because she had checked her mother's pulse several times that she misunderstood. Wasn't it she who insisted that I go to check her mother's pulse?
"It's okay! I didn't pay much attention."
"Not bad?" Shen Roujiao pouted in disdain and glanced at Zhou Huaiyue, "You have a problem with aesthetics. Is it that hard to admit that someone is beautiful? I just think Sister Wang Li is especially beautiful. She's prettier than movie stars."
!
What's wrong with her?
Do you really have to make me praise someone's good looks?
To be honest, Wang Li is not as pretty as Jiang Qianqian who has been following him since childhood.
"I said it's okay, you haven't seen my childhood friend." He was just telling the truth. But it aroused Shen Roujiao's curiosity even more, and she insisted that he tell her how good-looking her childhood friend was.
"Jiang Qianqian's skin is as white as snow, her eyebrows are like crescent moons, her eyes are like peach blossoms, and she looks like a butterfly." Zhou Huaiyue quoted his father's original words truthfully without changing a word.
"Wow, it sounds beautiful, but it's a pity that her last name is Jiang." Shen Roujiao lost her previous excitement.
Ever since she was angered to death by her third sister named Jiang in her previous life, she has had no good feelings towards beautiful women with this surname.
!
Why are you still biased against people based on their surnames?
Zhou Huaiyue was quite curious, "Why?"
"I was cheated of money by Jiang." She said this with a hint of hatred in her eyes. That couple not only cheated her of money, but also her life.
!
For her to have this expression, she must have been cheated out of a lot of money.
Because of her last name "Jiang", Shen Roujiao was a little unhappy on New Year's Eve. It was not until the crackling of firecrackers at midnight during the New Year's Eve that she was able to drive away the depression in her heart.
In the afternoon, Uncle Shen Shanhe and his family came to the Shen family carrying melon seeds and candied fruits. Aunt Zhao, Sister Ruyu, and Shen Roujiao gathered in a circle to make dumplings. The brothers competed with each other. At this time, Shen Rushan was the worst loser. His face was covered with long strips of paper. He felt that they blocked his eyes too much, so he split the strips in the middle and pinned them behind his ears. It was very funny.
Zhou Huaiyue first watched them play poker, and then helped Shen Roujiao roll out the dumpling wrappers. The wrappers he rolled were thin at the edges and thick in the middle, and were large and round. Aunt Zhao praised him for his hard work.
As night fell, the two Shen families sat around the round table in the main hall. The table was filled with rich dishes, including braised pork, fried chicken, steamed apples, etc. In the middle was a large plate of steaming dumplings.
Under the dim light, everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.
Shen's father and uncle opened the Maotai that Wu Yi brought, and the two brothers drank some wine while watching the kids eating and playing. They had never thought about such a day before, nor did they dare to think about it.
Children from the village brought delicious food one after another, saying they were there to express their gratitude to the brothers and sisters of the Shen family. Shen Roujiao gave them one or two yuan as New Year's money, and Zhou Huaiyue gave them some White Rabbit milk candies.
The children ate candies and played with Shiwu in the yard, waiting for the Shen family's firecrackers at midnight.
The whole village knew that Shen Tiannan bought two hundred yuan worth of firecrackers for the New Year.
Gradually, villagers gathered in front of the Shen family's house to listen to the sound. At one o'clock, as a match was lit, the fuse began to burn with a "hissing" sound. The children covered their ears nervously and excitedly, their eyes fixed on the firecrackers.
In an instant, the sound of "crackling" echoed throughout the yard, and the sound of firecrackers came like a storm, making people's ears buzz.
Shen Roujiao covered her ears, the loud noise made her unable to open her eyes. Zhou Huaiyue looked at her through the thick smoke filled with the smell of gunpowder, and said to her the first second after the sound of firecrackers ended: "Shen Roujiao, Happy New Year!"
The first New Year’s blessing should be given to the most important person.
