Chapter 75: Going to the Countryside as Educated Youth in the 1970s 38
[This is a parallel fictional world. Please do not take any similarities between place names and people as they appear.]
On the way back, Xiaoyi passed by the provincial capital and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy sugar and batteries.
"Sister, Ping An, what else do you want to buy?"
Zhang Xiaojia shook her head and said, "I don't have anything to buy?"
Ping An also shook his head.
"Then let's go to the grain station and buy some glutinous rice."
"Brother Xiaoyi, you don't need glutinous rice. I have some at home. Go find Brother Jiayi."
"Okay, let's go back to the He family."
When they arrived at the county, they saw the team leader coming to pick up the educated youth, so they called Xiao Yi and took him with them to bring the educated youth back to Zhao Bin.
Xiaoyi had no choice but to agree.
After the educated youth got on the bus, they saw Zhang Xiaojia and Ping An.
One of the female educated youth came up and said, "This bench is so long, I want to sit on it too."
Zhang Xiaojia raised an eyebrow and said, "Stay aside. This is my tricycle. I asked you to get on because the team leader is going to pick up fertilizer. As a guest, you should know your place."
"You, you..." Another female educated youth pulled that female educated youth to the bench.
"Hello, my name is Fang Cuihua, and her name is Lan Xiulan. We are both from Shanghai and grew up together. She is just a bit brainless, but she is not a bad person."
Lan Xiulan said unhappily, "That's right! What's the problem with letting me sit on such a big seat? It looks very comfortable at first glance, unlike this long bench, which is short and narrow."
Fang Cuihua glared at her, and Lan Xiulan immediately said, "I'm sorry, I went off the rails. This place is great, Xiaohua, don't be angry."
"My name is Wu Chenyang, from Tianjin"
"Chen Junjie, from Beijing"
"Li Pengcheng, from Hunan."
"Zhang Xiaojia, from the second batch of educated youth, and the one driving the tricycle is Wang Xiaoyi, from the third batch."
Lan Xiulan said casually, "Sister Xiaojia, is there a lot of farm work here? Is the work in the fields tiring?"
Zhang Xiaojia smiled happily. This little girl really didn't have any scheming. "I'm not sure either. You can ask Zhao Bin later."
Lan Xiulan was so angry that she wanted to say something but was stopped by Fang Cuihua.
Zhang Xiaojia didn't say anything, and neither did anyone else. When they arrived at the Youth League Office, Zhang Xiaojia put them down, and Xiaoyi left directly.
Lan Xiulan watched the tricycle leave and shouted, "Zhang Xiaojia, aren't you living here? Where else can we stay?"
Fang Cuihua slapped her back and scolded her, "Shut up, can you think before you speak? Don't be so heartless."
As soon as Zhang Xiaojia arrived at the clinic, a patient came to see him.
Then he saw the clan elder being carried in. Zhang Xiaojia immediately took his pulse and asked Xiaoai to scan him.
Then I heard He Liu hurriedly say, "My uncle fell this morning. I asked him to come to the hospital, but he refused to come. We had lunch together at noon, and he vomited after eating. He said he felt dizzy, so he went to sleep, and now he can't be woken up."
Zhang Xiaojia ordered again, "Yan Yan, make me an ice pack."
After pushing the elder into the ward, they directly gave him acupuncture at Baihui, Fengchi, Renzhong, Neiguan, Jiquan, Chize, Waiguan, Hegu, Weizhong, Zusanli, Sanyinjiao and Kunlun... and his whole body was filled with needles.
Zhang Xiaojia went to prepare the medicine again, removed the impurities, and asked Xiaoyi to boil the medicine.
Put the ice pack made by Yanyan on the elder’s head.
Zhang Xiaojia held the acupoint and asked Yanyan to feed the medicine and drink it.
Zhang Xiaojia pulled He Liu aside and said, "Uncle He Liu, the elder will probably wake up in two hours. However, after daily acupuncture, medication, and rehabilitation, it will take at least half a year to fully recover. You need to arrange for someone to take care of him."
He Liu nodded and said, "I'll ask Jiaqi to come and take care of Second Uncle. Second Uncle can eat in the cafeteria of the clinic!"
"Okay, I'll ask Xiaoyi to do it."
On the sixth day of the New Year, Aunt Leng was going to work in the county town. She was transferred to the Women's Office as the director of the Women's Office. She was allocated a house, but she did not choose an apartment, but an independent small courtyard.
After Zhang Xiaojia found out, he was happy for Aunt Leng. But when they saw the yard, he realized that he was too happy too early. This was a dangerous building!
The entire yard is only 60 square meters, but it is made of wood and has two floors. The stairs creak when you walk up them, which is great for shooting horror movies.
How are we going to get through this winter? It's so drafty. Who is so smart as to build a wooden house in the cold Northeast?
It is no longer habitable and we need to rebuild the house. The weather is too cold and we have to wait until the snow melts in spring to build the house.
Aunt Leng still had a cold expression on her face. She said she rode her bicycle from the village to the county town. Zhang Xiaojia was so worried. It was snowing heavily and the road was so difficult to ride. Did she understand? She thought it was the road to Zhongcheng Pingzhiyuan. Someone was clearing the snow?
He Shiba played a role and found a house with a large courtyard, which was divided into two parts for six families to live in. However, the house was separated by earth bricks. The house was not big, only 30 square meters, but it had a kitchen, a toilet, and a fire wall. After the fire wall was lit, the temperature in the house was about 17 or 18 degrees, so it would not be cold in winter.
Aunt Leng went to work, so Zhang Xiaojia and Leng Jiaojiao went home to get their luggage. It took them a week to get everything ready for Aunt Leng.
Jiaojiao stayed to accompany Aunt Leng and to strengthen the mother-daughter relationship.
Originally, the health center was supposed to wait until after the Lantern Festival, when the He family elders returned. However, the elder was in the hospital, so okay! Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, bring the rations and ask Xiaoyi to make lunch. The group of elderly people will drink tea and play chess in the elder's ward.
The patients with uremia have been treated for more than four months and are out of danger. They only need acupuncture, cupping and medication three times a week. After a week of observation, Yanyan can complete it independently. Zhang Xiaojia no longer comes every time. Yanyan is given the main treatment. She only needs to be checked once a week.
After all the busyness, it was already the end of the month and it was time to go to Uncle Zhao's house again. Zhang Xiaojia brought seasickness pills, seasickness sachets, and potions to improve her physical condition.
This time, Pangpang, her and Jiayi went together.
When they arrived at Zhao Qiancheng's house, Zhao Qiancheng scolded him directly, "You unlucky child, you are really the boss's bastard. You will never show up until the last moment."
"Uncle Zhao, I got you some good stuff, don't you want it?"
"What good stuff?"
"Concentrated medicinal bath water to improve physical fitness"
How to use it
"Two drops of bath water can improve the physical fitness of 100 people."
Zhao Qiancheng looked at her suspiciously. She wouldn't lie, would she?
The boss often fools him, so won’t this little fox do the same?
Just as Zhao Qiancheng was about to take the medicine, Lao Xu snatched it away and said, "Lao Zhao doesn't believe you, but I, Lao Xu, do."
Zhao Qiancheng was like "Shit" in his heart. He had forgotten about Old Xu. Now that the medicine was in his hands, could he still get it back?
Zhang Xiaojia looked at him and felt that he looked very familiar. He was the middle-aged version of the Lord of West City and He Fei's immediate superior.
Zhang Xiaojia smiled and said, "Uncle Xu."
"Old Xu, give the medicine back to me."
"Whose father are you? Don't think you've been transferred. You still have to call me sir! Even your boss has to salute and call me sir when he sees me."
A higher-ranking official can crush someone to death, which made Zhao Qiancheng angry to death. Fortunately, the medicine belonged to the eldest brother's daughter, so he would not refuse to give it to him.
Zhang Xiaojia handed all the medicine to Uncle Zhao and said, "Uncle Zhao, I will mail it to you next time."
Compared to their fathers, Uncle Xu's father's official position is N levels higher than her father's, and her father's official position is two levels lower than Uncle Xu's.
Old Xu looked at the pills in Zhao Qiancheng's hand and asked Zhang Xiaojia, "Xiaojia, what are these pills?"
Zhang Xiaojia answered honestly, "Seasickness pills and seasickness sachets, and heat-clearing and summer-heat-relieving pills."
Old Xu thought about it and asked tentatively, "Our army also wants it. Don't worry, we will pay for the medicine."
Zhang Xiaojia looked at Zhao Qiancheng. A soldier in the army wanted a seasickness pill?
Zhao Qiancheng said helplessly, "Sir, you are in the army, you don't need seasickness pills, at most you need motion sickness medicine."
Old Xu said angrily, "We want the Qingre Jiedu Pills, and we'll have a share if we see them."
Zhang Xiaojia immediately said, "Qingre Jiedu Pills, there are similar medicines on the market, but they are not even one ten-thousandth as effective. The most powerful thing about my medicine is that one pill can keep you healthy for a month."
After hearing this, Zhao Qiancheng immediately packed the medicine into his suitcase, locked it up, and threw away the key. He was going to the south, where it was humid and hot.
Old Xu looked at Zhang Xiaojia and asked, "What do you want?"
Zhang Xiaojia smiled and said, "I will be 20 in 10 months. He Fei and I have also registered our marriage. He Fei is also eligible for a house in the staff housing complex. Why not give it to him first? I came here to see that he has a place to stay. I can guarantee that He Fei will return to the dormitory every night as usual. We won't make any mistakes."
"Okay, no problem. He Fei's house has been approved a long time ago." Old Xu thought about it and agreed.
Zhang Xiaojia smiled happily and said, "I'll bring the medicine next month."
Zhang Xiaojia moved Uncle Zhao's furniture directly to He Fei's house.
After looking at the house, Zhang Xiaojia drew the areas that needed to be changed. When He Fei heard from his superior that Xiaojia was in the family compound and in the house assigned to him, he wanted to rush over, but his superior suppressed him and did not allow him to go out. This was revenge, naked revenge.
