"Oh! He doesn't look like the child, but more like the child's father! I see that you have a sallow complexion, and you often can't eat or sleep recently. You are prone to nightmares." Chen Yintang asked again.
Zeng Wenjuan thought that she had not been able to eat or sleep in the past few days. She thought she was tired of the food, and she often dreamed of a dirty man who kowtowed with every step, and she was awakened by fear every time.
"Yes! Doctor Chen, can you please take my pulse? I do have the symptoms you mentioned recently." Zeng Wenjuan looked at Chen Yintang and said in a kind voice.
"Stretch out your hand, I'll feel your pulse. It's not a big deal, don't worry." After taking the pulse, Chen Yitang sat up straight and said seriously, "Stretch out your hand, I want to take some blood for the medicine."
Zeng Wenjuan had no choice but to do as she was told. Health is the capital of revolution. If she collapsed, what would Goudan do?
Chen Yitang took a needle and stabbed Zeng Wenjuan's index finger directly, and drew half a tube of blood. He helped her stop the bleeding and stood up to go to the medicine cabinet to get medicine.
"Go back and eat more nutritious food. You've made a lot of money these days, so there's no need to save it! And the children also need to eat more nutritious food."
"Thank you, Dr. Chen. I'll leave first!" Zeng Wenjuan took the Chinese herbs and put them directly into the backpack. Then she took Goudan away.
A hundred good things come out.
Lin Baixiang looked at Chen Yitang and said slowly, "Old Chen, the female comrade just now looks a lot like Yike when she was young! To be honest, Nannan was also lost here before."
"Well, especially that little boy, he looks a lot like Yike when she was a child! If I hadn't heard some news before, I would have wanted to check if she was my daughter the last time I saw her. If she is true..." Chen Yitang lay back in his exclusive chair and sighed, thinking about the past again.
Zeng Wenjuan brought Goudan to the supply and marketing cooperative and to the book section. Holding two notebooks, she asked, "Goudan, do you like this one or this one?" The two notebooks were one blue and one black. They were the same style, without the fancy designs of later generations.
"This one." Goudan said, pointing to the blue notebook.
Zeng Wenjuan nodded: "Then you use the blue one, and I'll use the black notebook, and I'll buy you a few pencils." She planned to buy herself a fountain pen, and a bottle of ink could last for a long time.
After buying school supplies, she needed to buy more daily necessities. She found a salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative and said, "Hello, comrade, I want to buy a lot of things. Could you please introduce some to me?"
"Serving the people, what do you need, comrade?" the salesperson said in a good tone. People who work in the supply and marketing cooperative are all shrewd people. As long as others do not offend me, I will not offend others.
Zeng Wenjuan took out a bunch of coupons from her pocket and said to the salesperson, "Comrade, I want to buy a big iron pot and some bowls and chopsticks. I spent all these cloth coupons and cotton coupons."
The salesperson took the cloth and cotton coupons and carefully counted them. Then he looked at Zeng Wenjuan in shock and said, "You have 66 feet of cloth coupons and 30 kilograms of cotton coupons. You want to exchange them all?"
Zeng Wenjuan nodded seriously: "Yes, I just divided the family, and there is nothing at home, so I was given these bills and money and asked to buy them myself. Do you have all these things?"
"Yes, I'll get the stuff out for you right away. Please wait here for a moment." The salesperson returned all the receipts to Zeng Wenjuan and nodded, then went to the storage room and took out a weight and two large bags of cotton. "I guess you want to make two quilts, so I took two quilts and ten kilograms of cotton. Do you think it's okay?"
Zeng Wenjuan nodded happily when she heard such a good thing: "Okay, thank you for thinking of me." After hearing Zeng Wenjuan's words, the salesperson weighed the two hundred cotton balls: "Look! It's still 30 kilograms high."
Zeng Wenjuan came closer and saw that the 30-jin was almost 31-jin. She knew that this was the salesperson's privilege, so she gave herself some extra cotton. She smiled and said, "Comrade, thank you."
"It's okay. I'll get the big iron pot and bowls and chopsticks for you now!" The salesperson smiled. It really makes people happy to be able to help others within their ability.
Afterwards, Zeng Wenjuan bought some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and containers for seasonings, as well as spatulas, straw paper, soap, towels, toothbrushes, ointments, soap, etc. She also bought rice and flour.
She brought the things to the meat processing factory. It happened that not many people were there today, so it was her turn soon. Unexpectedly, the butcher knew her.
"Sister-in-law (honorific title), what are you going to buy today? I just happen to have a few pieces of pork belly today, it's delicious!"
Zeng Wenjuan took out two meat coupons from her pocket and said, "Please give me three pounds of pork belly. My husband just gave me an allowance to supplement the children's nutrition." Seeing the big bone next to it, Zeng Wenjuan pointed and asked, "How much is this bone?"
"These bones have no meat. If you want, I'll give them all to you. I originally wanted to take them home." The butcher said with a smile. These bones have no meat and are not tasty, so they are just right for feeding dogs.
Then Zeng Wenjuan put the big bones and pork belly in a backpack, carried the cotton in one hand and the big iron pot in the other, and followed Goudan and said, "Goudan, you walk in front, mother will watch you from behind." The mother and son then went to the station.
Fortunately, the two arrived early and there were only a few people in the car. Zeng Wenjuan found a seat by the window and put her things on the seat in front of the car.
Soon, the car was full of people, and we didn't take the car to the village on the way. Instead, we returned to the village earlier than in the morning.
When he was carrying such a large pile of things back home, he was seen by the villagers. They pointed and said, "Oh my! Where did this guy get so much money to buy so many things? He didn't do anything stupid outside, did he?"
"What are you talking about! You watched Wenjuan grow up, don't you know what kind of person she is? And Jianguo is getting an allowance outside. Wenjuan got nothing when she separated from the family, so you have to buy it back!" Aunt Xiufang said unhappily to those gossipers.
At this time, Zeng Wenjuan had already gone home. She put the quilt on the bed, cut a piece of cloth, and took out the needle and thread to sew a quilt cover. In order to prevent the cotton from getting dirty, the needle and thread were all brought from Zhao's house.
"Mom, can we cover ourselves with blankets at night?" Goudan said with a smile as he stood by the bed. He kept touching the blanket with his hands, which was comfortable and soft.
Zeng Wenjuan looked at Goudan and smiled sweetly: "Yes, we can use one quilt as a cushion and another quilt as a cover, and then we can have a comfortable sleep at night."
