Chapter 35: Neihan Wanqing, Educated Youth Fighting
Yu Wanqing asked Huo Lanci to go back and have a rest first, and was determined not to let him go to her home, otherwise she would be restricted in what she could do.
When she got home, she rushed to the pharmacy in the space to get medicine.
After the medicine was boiled, Huo Lanci came in with a bamboo kettle. Yu Wanqing poured the Chinese medicine into the kettle and said, "One bowl each time, three times a day. There are five bowls in total. Drink until tomorrow night. When the time comes, bring the kettle back and I will boil the medicine again for you."
"Take five days to see how it goes." In the eyes of Yu Li and Yu Xin, she was just a half-baked person who liked to take unorthodox approaches.
Yu Wanqing felt that this half-baked doctor taught by two lunatics was able to beat many doctors. In addition, she had just used her healing power when examining Mr. Kang's pulse, so Mr. Kang's recovery ability must be better than before.
Huo Lanci nodded: "You should get some rest quickly. I want to send the hot water bottle to them."
Just as he turned around and wanted to leave, Yu Wanqing called him: "Wait a moment."
She took a piece of bacon off the plate, took two or three pounds of rice from the rice jar and put it in a cloth bag: "Let them make porridge for Elder Kang."
"Give Aunt Dong and her friends some bacon as a side dish. Mr. Kang can't eat bacon yet, so he needs to eat a light diet during this period."
He looked at Huo Lanci and said, "After Mr. Kang's fever subsides and he stops coughing, I'll find a way to get some lean meat and make porridge for him."
The rice and bacon were all brought back by Huo Lanci. He used his things to feed his elders. Perfect.
Yu Wanqing found that she smelled of medicine, so she hurried back to her room to take a shower, changed into pajamas, and finally fell asleep.
I slept for more than two hours and woke up at 4:30. I got up, brushed my teeth and washed my face, went into the workspace to drink a cup of coffee to refresh myself, and gathered at the production team's threshing ground at 5 o'clock to receive today's tasks and start today's work in the morning light.
No matter who said it today, she would get four work points for each job and leave after finishing it.
For lunch, I simply had a bowl of noodles with eggs and vegetables.
After eating, Yu Wanqing went straight back to her room and fell asleep.
Huo Lanci felt extremely distressed when he saw this, and also felt guilty. If it weren't for his problem, she wouldn't have to work so hard.
He cleaned up the dishes, washed them, tidied the house, then closed the door and went back to his own home.
The two of them cooked and ate together every day, but Yu Wanqing kept the door open to prevent others from saying that they did something shameful before getting married.
In the thatched house:
In the morning, while drinking the rice porridge cooked by Dong Lianyi, Kang asked, "Ah Ci is here."
If Aci had not come, they would not have been able to get medicine and rice.
Dong Lianyi nodded: "He came last night. Seeing that you had a high fever, he went back to bring his girlfriend here." Speaking of Huo Lanci's girlfriend, she had endless things to say: "The girl knows medicine. After checking your pulse, she said you had an infection. She personally fed you fever-reducing medicine and went back to boil the medicine for Ah Ci to bring to you."
"That child is good-looking and kind-hearted. He is a perfect match for Aci."
When Mr. Kang learned that Huo Lanci had a date, he was a little surprised: "That guy is actually dating a lesbian? And he found such an outstanding lesbian?" No matter how he heard it, he felt that this matter was unreliable and very weird.
In their opinion, Huo Lanci might be destined to live alone until the end of his life.
When she was a child, she scolded all the little girls in the compound until they cried. If the other party couldn't get over it, Huo Lanci would just send the girl back to her home and talk to her parents.
It's really annoying to remind adults to keep an eye on their girls and not let them bother him.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Huo Lanci was not likable. When he was a child in the compound, he was really hated by everyone.
When he grew up, he learned how to cover up everything with a smile, and everyone thought he had changed.
Unexpectedly, a little girl pestered him for several days, and was finally sprayed all over by him. The little girl ran away crying, and soon got married to another place.
Everyone then realized that this guy had not changed at all, he just became better at covering it up.
Even if someone was willing to marry their daughter to Huo Lanci, it was not for him as a person, but for his family.
"It seems that Old Man Huo doesn't have to worry about his grandson. It's a pity that I'm trapped here now. I don't even have freedom, let alone hope for the future."
The 54-year-old, haggard Lu Jing'an said calmly, "My wife died tragically, my daughter jumped into the river, and my son is missing. I have never given up hope. What are you afraid of?"
"Is it worse than what we have now?"
Sometimes he would hate the unfairness of fate, but after hating it and crying, he still had to grit his teeth and persevere to live.
Only by living can you see hope, and only by living can you be reunited with your son.
Mr. Kang smiled and said, "I am 68 years old this year, and I don't even know where to send my children and grandchildren."
As I laughed, my eyes turned red. No one could calculate how much bitterness and pain I felt in my heart.
Everyone present fell silent.
Dong Lianyi said: "At least we are still alive now, but some people really can't survive."
Many of her colleagues were taken away, and some were too proud to be humiliated.
Some people are too fragile to face it.
I can’t imagine what will happen to them in the end.
This was a very heavy topic, and Fu Henian didn't want his wife to continue talking: "Mr. Kang, remember to take your medicine later. The child said you need to take it three times a day."
They all knew that Huo Lanci's girlfriend was Yu Wanqing, but they were afraid that they would let the cat out of the bag, so they used the child instead.
Kang Lao nodded: "Okay, I understand."
"I'm sorry to have troubled everyone these days." He had never troubled anyone before, but he didn't expect that he would have to trouble them to take care of him when he was old.
It really is a matter of fate and time, and it is not something that can be changed by humans.
In the evening, even the elderly Kang was dragged to the brigade headquarters to dry the grain. They first made ideological reports and reflected on themselves, and then accepted criticism from the members.
There were several thousand people in the Five-Star Brigade, but only a dozen of them used smelly leaves to throw at Kang Lao and others.
Even so, seeing that their heads and bodies were covered with rotten vegetable leaves, Yu Wanqing still felt a little upset.
She has never been a good person, but she loves this land.
The people kneeling above also love this land, otherwise they have better choices.
At this moment, she empathized with them.
After enduring for more than ten minutes, the captain asked the militia to take them away.
He also felt reluctant, but his superiors required him to do so. If the Five-Star Brigade did not do it, the people in their brigade would not end well, and those people in Beishan would also be transferred.
I'm afraid it will be more difficult to move to a place other than here.
Huo Lanci kept an eye on them for the rest of his time, and only heaved a sigh of relief when they were taken away.
Apart from the rotten vegetable leaves, no one threw stones and very few people insulted them. This was the best situation so far.
When it was late at night and he was about to go to Beishan, Yu Wanqing knocked on the door and handed him a basket: "In addition to the medicine, there are also some food."
Huo Lanci opened it and saw a few sweet steamed buns and vegetable dumplings.
He wanted to say something, but Yu Wanqing shook her head: "Don't say anything. I don't need your thanks. I did this willingly."
"Not for you, but for them."
For those who love this land as much as I do.
Two days before the looting, the houses of Zhang Hongqi, Guo Hongying, Chu Ming and others were built and the furniture was moved in.
The three of them agreed to treat the people at the educated youth site and the cadres of the brigade headquarters and production team to a meal.
It was difficult to buy meat, so Chuan Ming finally went to find Huo Lanci and went into the mountains to get some pheasants and rabbits.
Yu Wanqing also took a leave to help them cook, and she was still the one who cooked.
While eating, Ou Jianguo said with a smile: "I had a greasy meal before the double robbery, and I don't think I'm that scared anymore."
He had just gone to the countryside and had not experienced the double robbery that Lu Guohua and others described as exhausting.
Even so, we can also understand from their accounts that the workload of both parties was much greater than it is now.
Everyone laughed when they heard this. The team leader said in his unstandard Mandarin: "You new educated youth, remember this. Work hard from tomorrow. Don't just slack off."
"If I catch you, I'll make you work repairing canals in the winter."
dawdle?
Upon hearing this, Yu Wanqing glanced at the captain. Why did she feel like he was talking about her?
