For dinner that day, Grandma Ji cooked a table full of dishes with the food sent by the villagers.
Grandma Ji kept picking food for Ruan Tang and kept saying that Ruan Tang had lost weight.
After eating two full bowls of white rice, Ruan Tang lay on the recliner, crossed her legs and watched Ji Nanfeng busy in and out.
After Ji Nanfeng finished his work in the kitchen, he glanced at the leisurely Ruan Tang, took out an axe from the utility room, and prepared to start chopping wood.
"Is there no more firewood in the kitchen?"
Ji Nanfeng didn't say anything, rolled up his sleeves and swung the axe.
Snap—the firewood broke into two pieces with a sound.
Ji Nanfeng moved quickly and swiftly. He picked up the half-chopped firewood and chopped it with an axe.
After Ji Nanfeng chopped a few pieces of firewood, he took off his shirt.
Ruan Tang's eyes suddenly widened.
She and Ji Nanfeng had been married for several months, and every day they would kiss and then fall asleep.
Until now, she had never taken a close look at Ji Nanfeng's strong and muscular upper body.
The strong and streamlined chest muscles were covered with sweat, leaving no trace on the ground.
Ruan Tang swallowed her saliva. Broad shoulders and narrow waist, so tempting.
Ruan Tang hooked her finger at Ji Nanfeng and said, "Look at you, you're sweating so much, can I wipe it for you?"
Ji Nanfeng wiped his face and walked towards Ruan Tangqi.
In front of the reclining chair, Ji Nanfeng consciously lowered his body.
Ruan Tang wiped the sweat off his chest muscles with his hands, and his fingertips moved along the flowing lines.
Ji Nanfeng tensed his body, his dark eyes fixed on Ruan Tang, letting Ruan Tang paint freely.
Ruan Tang suddenly approached and kissed Ji Nanfeng on the chest.
boom!
A string in Ji Nanfeng's mind suddenly broke, and he pressed Ruan Tang tightly on the recliner.
Suddenly, Grandma Ji's door creaked open.
Ruan Tang was frightened and kicked Ji Nanfeng without hesitation.
Ji Nanfeng was caught off guard and sat down on the ground with a thud, then quickly rolled over to chop firewood.
Grandma Ji originally wanted to go to the kitchen to get some water, but when she saw Ji Nanfeng chopping firewood shirtless, she picked up some clothes beside him and asked him to put them on.
"It's a cold March, but it's not cold. Take off your clothes if you sweat a little. Be careful not to get cold."
Ruan Tang's pretty face turned slightly red. Seeing Grandma Ji holding Ji Nanfeng tightly, she yawned and hid in the house.
As soon as Ruan Tang said this, Grandma Ji decisively slapped Ji Nanfeng in the face, "How could I have such a promising grandson like you? People are so happy after a short separation, and you still have to sell your body to hook a wife!"
Ji Nanfeng patted the dust off his pants and said, "When I save up some industrial tickets, I'll buy you a kettle. From now on, after dark, please don't do any more bad things."
"Go back to your room."
Ji Nanfeng put all the firewood into the kitchen before taking a shower.
He wiped himself and went into the house.
Ruan Tang was lying on the bed, writing something.
Ji Nanfeng leaned over to take a look and saw some words and some arrow symbols.
Ji Nanfeng sighed silently in his heart. He just wanted to have a simple meal of meat, but why were there so many unexpected things?
In the bamboo pavilion, they were being intimate and Ruan Tang could even fall asleep.
He was beginning to wonder if his charm for Ruan Tang had waned. Tonight, he had deliberately put on a show of a tough guy chopping wood, but who would have thought that his grandmother would ruin it.
Right now, he just wanted to get straight to the point. Testing his attraction to Ruan Tang was something he could do another day.
After making up his mind, Ji Nanfeng went straight to the cupboard, took out the condoms he had bought and threw them on the bed.
The condom landed squarely on Ruan Tang's notebook. Ruan Tang slowly raised her head. Buy again? It seems Ji Nanfeng has quite a bit of hidden money...
If she can get Ji Nanfeng to use this thing, she will lose.
Ruan Tang was aroused and used all her strength to pester Ji Nanfeng, making Ji Nanfeng forget about the condom...
The next day, Ruan Tang missed breakfast again and woke up at lunch time.
At the dinner table, Grandma Ji announced a shocking piece of news.
Li Guaizi is dead.
After taking non-antimony anti-schistosomiasis drugs, he first had bloody stools, then became mentally confused, jumped from the inpatient department of the county hospital, and died on the spot.
Considering that Li Guaizi was ill, the relevant departments discussed and cremated Li Guaizi. His ashes were placed in a jar and sent to the Qingyun Brigade.
Li Guaizi had been a bachelor for half his life. He had no children to attend his funeral and his body was never found. Everyone in the village sighed with sadness.
Ruan Tang remembered that she had not finished writing the medicine prescription yesterday, so she picked up the pen and continued writing.
In the early 1970s, non-antimony agents were used to treat schistosomiasis, but they still had significant side effects, leading to the deaths of many people, like Li Guaizi. Praziquantel, the drug used later, was not available until 1982.
This means that it will take another 11 years for praziquantel to be put on the market, which means that countless people and families will suffer from it during these 11 years.
Li Guaizi's death made Ruan Tang more determined to bring praziquantel to the market ahead of schedule.
But Ruan Tang wasn't a pharmaceutical major, and had only vaguely heard her roommate mention the credits of praziquantel. To identify praziquantel, she had to experiment over and over again.
Ruan Tang guessed that Ji Nanfeng had some connections, so she asked him to help find a laboratory.
Ji Nanfeng pondered for a while, "How confident are you?"
"I wouldn't say ninety percent, but eighty percent is definitely there."
After Ji Nanfeng got Ruan Tang's handwritten information, he found a laboratory for Ruan Tang a few days later. It was located in the machinery factory.
Ruan Tang looked at Ji Nanfeng doubtfully, "I originally thought they were going to build a laboratory for me at the County First Hospital."
Since Ji Nanfeng had asked for permission from his superiors and arranged Ruan Tang to work in the machinery factory, he did not intend to hide it from Ruan Tang.
"County One is not safe. You were in Honghui Commune for ten days, and almost all the poultry and livestock in the county were killed."
Ruan Tang sat up straight and said, "That's not right. Aunt Dong even gave me some chicken yesterday."
"Yes, our village was the first to be tested, and the results showed that more than half of the samples were healthy. The samples sent in later showed that almost all of them were infected. By the time the higher-ups realized there might be a problem with the test, the frightened villagers had already set their livestock and poultry on fire."
Ruan Tang frowned, not daring to think too much about whether there was a spy in the hospital.
"Do you have any doubts?"
Ji Nanfeng shook his head. "I have no idea. The doctors and nurses in the hospital all have clean backgrounds."
Ji Nanfeng only briefly described the general situation so that Ruan Tang would be mentally prepared, and he did not intend to say anything else.
The two went to Secretary Hu's home and explained that they would be staying in the city for the time being. If there was anything, they could ask someone to go to the machinery factory to find someone. They also left the phone number of the security department of the machinery factory.
Secretary Hu agreed readily and told the couple to focus on their work, and that the villagers would take good care of Grandma Ji.
The two thanked him and went to the machinery factory that day.
After arriving at the machinery factory, Ji Nanfeng took Ruan Tang to the old factory building.
The first factory building is mainly composed of production workshops and maintenance workshops. The second factory building is divided into separate rooms and is mainly used by engineers for research and development and design.
As a master chef in the maintenance workshop, Ruan Tang can be considered half an engineer, and it is not too high-profile for him to have his own R&D room in the workshop.
After Ji Nanfeng took Ruan Tang to register at the factory gate, they entered her exclusive R&D room.
"Your R&D room is made up of two connected rooms. The one inside is the laboratory you want. I'll give you the key."
Ruan Tang opened the door and saw that all the experimental equipment she wanted was ready.
"If you run into trouble, you can find Uncle Wang next door."
Ji Nanfeng lifted Ruan Tang's chin and forced her to look at him. "I'm very busy lately and might get off work late. You can go to bed by yourself tonight."
Ruan Tang agreed to all of them, and urged Ji Nanfeng to hurry up. She couldn't wait to try it out.
