Chapter 82: Going to the Countryside as Educated Youth in the 1970s 45
[This is a parallel fictional world. Please do not take any similarities between place names and people as they appear.]
Zhang Xiaojia opened the letter and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. There were two packages sent from Shazhimo in Xicheng. After opening the packages, there were milk powder, malted milk, bacon, canned food, chocolate, donkey-hide gelatin and dates... There was also a box of ginseng, deer antlers, cordyceps, etc. All of them were high-end products.
Take out the boxes, mark the address and name on each one, and make a wish for medicinal wine, health pills, or ointment.
This is no longer a hint but an explicit statement. Captain Xiao, the guard, said in the letter that as soon as the City Lord of West City opened the medicinal wine, several old friends would rummage through the boxes and cabinets in the City Lord's house every day looking for the medicinal wine to drink. Every time the City Lord of West City opened the wine for a few days, they would drink it all up. The City Lord of West City had no more wine in stock and hoped that she could send more.
I couldn't let her suffer any loss, so I wrote my name and a wish on every gift I sent her.
She had a lot of enhanced health pills and ointments, but only 20 kilograms of medicinal wine were left, which was enough. Zhang Xiaojia packed the packages according to her wishes and asked the He family to help her send them.
Zhang Xiaojia took the donkey-hide gelatin, jujube, malted milk, and ginseng and went to the next door. The old patriarch and Su Lanhua looked at Zhang Xiaojia and spread their hands and said, "Jia Jia, Lao Wu moved the wine, and now no one knows where he put it."
Zhang Xiaojia couldn't get the first place wine, so second place would be fine. He immediately said to the old patriarch, "Grandpa, give me some of your wine too."
The old patriarch said arrogantly, "Didn't you say you only wanted the best wine?"
"Grandpa, if Uncle He Wu doesn't give me wine, your wine is the best."
The old patriarch took the opportunity to say, "Alright! I'll give you 100 kilograms of wine, but I want 10 kilograms of first-crop medicinal wine, otherwise, forget it."
"Grandpa, didn't I give you the recipe?"
"Compared to the medicinal wine you made, yours is better."
Zhang Xiaojia had no choice but to nod in agreement and went directly to the old winery to bring back the wine brewed by the old patriarch.
After putting the wine in the room, he saw that there were actually four jars of wine in the room. Zhang Xiaojia opened one and smelled it. They were from Uncle He Wu. He turned around and saw a group of He family kids led by Yanyan, each with a jar of wine, coming in. Zhang Xiaojia was dumbfounded.
Listening to them talking one by one, Zhang Xiaojia roughly understood that the He family was protecting Zhang Xiaojia, and Zhang Guocheng was protecting the He family members who were away. The He family was taking advantage, and they were disrespecting her. The wine was their apology.
"So you brought Uncle He's wine to apologize to me, right?" Zhang Xiaojia asked in disbelief. Does the young patriarch of your He family know about this?
"Yes, sister-in-law, just accept it!"
"Uncle He Wu, what should we do if we find that the wine is missing?"
He Xinqi said innocently, "It's okay. My mother asked us to bring it to you. We are just porters. If you need anything, come to my mother."
"Sister-in-law, let's go to the fields first."
After they left, Zhang Xiaojia burst into laughter and quickly put all of He Wu's wine into the laboratory.
He Xinqi and his group returned to the fields, picked up farm tools and began to work. Fortunately, they had farm tools to use, unlike the people on the other side of the village who had to work with their bare hands.
Halfway through the day, the farm equipment suddenly stopped. They all got out of their vehicles to investigate. A few thuds and thuds slammed everyone down, and everyone was inevitably drenched in a stream of foul-smelling water. This foul water, mixed with the juice of old melons and weeds, turned skin black if it touched it.
Each of the He family members wanted to leave, but was stopped by He Wu and He Shiwu. They demanded that they complete their farm work before leaving, or their dividends for the year would be deducted. The He family members dared not speak out, and could only endure the stench and black stains on their bodies and continue to work.
When Xiaoyi went down the mountain, he saw a group of smelly and black He family cubs and laughed triumphantly.
Xiaoyi and Jiayi made the He family kids cry for their parents this month.
The He family boys were not to be outdone and set up traps and made their move.
The situation has developed to the point where both sides put sacks on each other at night.
Zhang Xiaojia looked at the people in front of her who were quarreling for a month. She shouted, "Stop, both sides should reconcile and stop quarreling."
"sister"
"Sister-in-law"
Zhang Xiaojia sighed and said, "How can you two reconcile? You can make up over a meal tonight. You've been arguing for a month. If you keep arguing, it will hurt our relationship. You've already deducted all your dividends for this year."
When it comes to the points, everyone lowered their heads, and He Xinqi quickly said, "Sister-in-law, we have been fined, Xiaoyi will also be fined, you can't give money to Xiaoyi this year."
Zhang Xiaojia was reminded by He Xinqi’s words that she actually didn’t give Xiaoyi any work points!!!
“Sister-in-law!!!”
"Okay, okay, you guys go work in the fields, go to the pig farm, Xiaoyi stay here." Zhang Xiaojia drove the He family kids away.
Xiaoyi sat on the chair, and Zhang Xiaojia smiled and said, "Did you have fun this month?"
"fine."
Zhang Xiaojia took out a pen and said, "Why didn't you tell me? I didn't give you any money."
Xiao Yi asked in disbelief, "No, I've calculated that if the work points and money I earned in the Ninth Village were used for food and drink, I couldn't send anything to my parents every month. Coming here, I can eat my fill, an egg a day, meat every few days, and send things to my parents every month. How can I be qualified to take money or tickets? I'm not short of money. I make tricycles for Jiafeng and Jiaqi, and they pay me. I also make lanterns, and I get money too."
"I will give you 5 yuan pocket money every month, but you are not allowed to buy cigarettes or alcohol. I will save the rest of the money and give it to you later." Zhang Xiaojia said directly.
Xiaoyi was too lazy to argue with her sister. At worst, she could use the money she earned to buy household items.
He Jiu walked in with Jiayi.
He Jiu said, "The verdicts for Bai Zhi and Guan Minghui have been announced."
Zhang Xiaojia was a little nervous. There had been no news for a whole month, and she was afraid of the halo of the male and female protagonists.
He Jiu continued, "Baizhi repeatedly entered the black market to resell grain, deliberately fell into the water to frame Jiayi, and injured someone with scissors. For multiple crimes, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Guan Minghui was only convicted of helping Baizhi resell grain, and was sentenced to one year of rural reform."
Zhang Xiaojia asked coldly, "Which farm?"
"The eastern countryside of the forest in the eastern city." Jiayi said.
Zhang Xiaojia was dissatisfied with the male protagonist and fined him for a year, but there was nothing she could do, the law is the law.
He Jiu asked, "Xiao Jia, did you develop the hemostatic medicine?"
Zhang Xiaojia nodded.
He Jiu took out the money and the ticket and said, "The city's investigation team and the armed forces department want to buy it from your clinic. Is that okay?"
Zhang Xiaojia quickly explained, "Uncle He Jiu, no, I've already handed it over to Hongguo. They can start mass production this winter. I can't sell it, but I'm allowed to make a few bottles for my family and friends."
After hearing this, He Jiu immediately said, "I'll beat up He Shiba and give me 5 bottles?"
Zhang Xiaojia couldn't help but twitch his lips and said, "Deal."
"Give it to me tomorrow and I'll beat him up tonight," He Jiu said and left.
Jiayi had something to ask, "Sister Xiaojia, you taught He Xinqi and the other girls to mix shampoo and shower gel. Can we buy the ingredients and then buy it? You don't have to pay, and we'll give you 20% of the profits as dividends."
"Sure." Zhang Xiaojia didn't care. She had hundreds of such formulas.
Zhang Xiaojia asked worriedly, "Is the He family's situation so bad now?"
"It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality. Uncle Wu was afraid that some of the clan members would go to the black market just to get a piece of meat. If they got caught, it wouldn't just be a matter for the He family, it might affect the entire He family. The He family withdrew from all the work at the county winery and donated the profits to the county welfare home and nursing home. Now we make money from the market. The He family needs to develop some new industries. Don't worry, Sister Xiaojia, the He family can make it through this."
Zhang Xiaojia nodded and said, "If you need any help, just let me know."
"OK"
Jiayi left immediately, and Xiaoyi also went up the mountain to collect herbs.
Zhang Xiaojia was writing a case in the clinic when she heard a car pull up. Two middle-aged men got out of the car, sat down in front of her desk, and put their hands directly on the pulse pillow without saying a word.
Yan Jing is currently guarding the inpatient department in Area A. Yan Yan is also in Area A, so she is not there and has not registered them. Zhang Xiaojia took out the registration book and said to another person, "Please register."
After that, he took the pulse of the hand on the pulse pillow. Zhang Xiaojia looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, thought for a moment, and realized that this disease was a private matter, so he said to the other middle-aged man, "Hello, comrade, please go out for a moment."
The middle-aged man who was taking my pulse said directly, "No need to go out, doctor, just tell me directly."
Zhang Xiaojia glanced at the names in the registration book. Both of them had the surname He. He family? Zhang Xiaojia remembered six He family members serving in the army, four of them mid-level cadres. Were these two He Er and He Shi? Didn't they have children?
Zhang Xiaojia asked tentatively, "Second Uncle He, Tenth Uncle He?"
He Er smiled and said, "That's right, what's my problem?"
Zhang Xiaojia said straight to the point, "Azoospermia."
He Shi immediately shouted, "Impossible, quack, my second brother has twins, how is that possible?"
Zhang Xiaojia sarcastically said, "Maybe she is like the Virgin Mary, she can get pregnant without a man."
He Shi was choked by Zhang Xiaojia.
Zhang Xiaojia continued, "Maybe I'm not very skilled. You can go to the hospital and get a test done. You can get the report right away."
He Er nodded and said, "You can tell whether the child and I are father and son or father and daughter."
Zhang Xiaojia took out a pen and paper, and wrote as he spoke, "You can't tell just by looking. There are two ways. One is blood type. There are four blood types: A, B, AB, and O. There are 10 possible pairings. If you are type A and your wife is type B, your child can have any of the four blood types: A, B, AB, or O. If you and your wife are both type A, it can't be AB or B. If you are type A and your wife is type AB, your child can't be type O. If you are type A and your wife is type O, your child can't be type B or AB..."
Zhang Xiaojia handed the written note to He Er and continued, "Look for yourself. I won't go into details. The second method is to use antigens from white blood cells for paternity testing, which has an accuracy of up to 80%."
He Er said calmly, "I'll give you the child's blood. Can you help me check her blood type?"
Zhang Xiaojia came up with an idea and said, "You should talk to Aunt Jiu or He Shijiu. One is the captain of the city's criminal investigation team, and the other is the captain of the county's criminal investigation team. They have ways to test blood types. I can do it. I have a microscope. The red blood cells in different people's blood coagulate differently in AB serum and AB serum. Those that coagulate in B serum but not in A serum are type B. Those that coagulate in both AB serum and AB serum are type AB, and those that don't coagulate are type O."
Zhang Xiaojia asked curiously, "Uncle He, what's your blood type?"
He Er said self-deprecatingly, "Type O, and other blood types that children can't possibly have."
He Shi was going crazy. The child he had loved for more than ten years might be the product of his second sister-in-law cheating on his second brother. His second brother was so calm. These two people actually started gossiping. Fifth brother, help me~ There are two psychopaths here~
He Er thought for a moment and said, "You do it. I believe in Lao Wu's evaluation of you."
