Chapter 78 078 Sweat is the liquid of the heart & Little genius & Daring to the extreme...
Because when looking at this disease, whether it is Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, Jin Yue and Director Jin are just limited to the symptom of palpitations, and only look for answers in textbooks and treatment guidelines, but ignore some seemingly insignificant minor symptoms.
First of all, since An's father had the accident three years ago, An's mother had vomiting symptoms due to excessive mental stimulation and fear.
"It lasted for more than half a month. I vomited everything I ate. In severe cases, I vomited jaundice water. I was diagnosed with neurogenic vomiting. The doctor said
It has a lot to do with emotions, and it was only barely stopped by using chlorpromazine. ”
Anna continued, "It didn't happen again, and we didn't pay attention to it anymore. Could it be that my mother's illness is related to this?"
Jin Yue nodded, "I asked Auntie about her sweating the other day, and you said it started about two years ago, and then she took medicine and it only came back intermittently, is that right?"
Anna nodded, "Is there a connection between palpitations and sweating?"
In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a basic theory called "sweat is the fluid of the heart". Vomiting and sweating are both ways for the human body to excrete fluids. For people who are already vomiting continuously and sweating intermittently, their heart yang is actually damaged invisibly.
The heart is the yang among yangs and is most dependent on the warmth and transformation of yang energy. If the heart yang is damaged, the heart will naturally palpitate and feel uneasy.
The digitalis drugs prescribed by Western medicine only physically slow down the heart rate and cannot fundamentally solve the problem. The traditional Chinese medicine used by Shu Jinyue to nourish the heart qi is also a bit irrelevant. The reason why it was effective at the beginning is that it is actually just scratching the surface.
Shu Jinyue stood up and apologized, "I didn't prescribe the right medicine last time. It was my mistake."
"It's nothing. You said last time that you were not sure. It was just a tentative treatment. We chose it voluntarily. It has nothing to do with you." Anna was very open-minded and comforted Jin Yue, "Doctor Shu, please don't take it to heart. If we keep bothering you with problems like this, other doctors might have ignored us a long time ago."
Don't think that she didn't notice Director Jin's impatience. Being called to work overtime during the New Year's Day, and it turned out to be a false alarm, anyone would complain. The more Anna could understand, the more she admired Shu Jinyue's demeanor and professionalism.
Shu Jinyue was very happy to meet such a reasonable family member of the patient, and his psychological burden was immediately reduced a lot. "The diagnosis this time should not be wrong. Just treat it according to the damage of heart yang. Here is the prescription, you can take it and get the medicine."
He wrote a few words and handed over the prescription.
Anna took it with a smile, but when she saw that there were only two medicines on it, she hesitated, "Doctor Shu, this... is all?"
"right."
"But there are only... only two medicines on it?"
"Yes, that is 10 grams of cinnamon twig and 5 grams of roasted licorice root. It is the cinnamon twig and licorice soup in the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, and it is also a famous prescription that has been passed down through the ages."
Anna considered and said, "It's not that I don't trust you, but this...isn't it too little?"
In her memory, Chinese medicine prescriptions were always very long, with as many as twenty or thirty herbs, and as few as eleven or twelve. This one, with only two herbs, was something she had never seen or heard of before. According to philosophical thinking, the more complex the situation, the more complex the solution.
Can my mother’s complicated condition really be cured with just two medicines? The last time she prescribed fifteen kinds of medicine, it didn't work, and now there are only two. She is really skeptical.
Jin Yue smiled, "Just go back and take it without worry. Chinese medicine does not look at the amount of herbs, but whether the pathogenesis is correctly identified. As long as the pathogenesis is correct, sometimes a single herb can cure a serious illness."
The An family mother and daughter went there half-believingly. Liu Jinbu heard from the side, "Jinyue, why do I feel like your medical treatment is becoming more and more streamlined now?"
Her prescriptions were not large before, and now they are even smaller. She only prescribed two medicines!
Shu Jinyue explained to him that when Zhang Zhongjing used the original prescription, there were only two herbs, and the ratio between the two herbs was also very particular. Why was the dosage of cinnamon twig different from that of licorice, and exactly twice as much as licorice? Why isn’t there more licorice than cinnamon? Why is it not three to one or four to one, but two to one? This is the secret of Chinese medicine.
Liu Jinbu was stunned and finally gave a thumbs up, "I will let my son learn Chinese medicine in the future."
Jin Yue laughed, "But Chinese medicine practitioners have to sit on the bench when they are young. What can they do with the pressure of supporting their families?" Others have bought houses and cars, but he is still sitting on the bench with a junior professional title.
Liu Jinbu was not embarrassed at all, "If it doesn't work out, just find a rich wife."
"Okay, Liu Jinbu, your son is only in junior high school, and you are already thinking about finding him a wife who can support him?" I don't know when Sister Qiao heard this and she started yelling.
Others rushed forward and said, "Great, Liu Jinbu. You Lius are really good at relying on your sons."
Officer Liu, who was passing by, staggered and almost fell.
Over the years, he has developed a thick skin that means "as long as people don't mention me by name, they are not making fun of me." At this moment, his face was burning and he quickly bent down and ran away. He still had some dignity to save.
***
The next day, Jin Yue got up early and had just packed her things when Xu Duan drove the car to the entrance of the alley and took her to report. Shu Linong, Zhao Wanqiu and Xu Wenli also followed, saying that they wanted to go and take a look at the university.
Although enrollment has resumed this year, the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine has not yet become independent and is still affiliated with Shilan Medical College, which has a special College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is divided into the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and other disciplines.
All Western medicine disciplines belong to the School of Clinical Medicine. On the way, Jin Yue briefly introduced them to his family so that they wouldn't be clueless when they got there.
The Jiang family's car had a different license plate, so they drove smoothly through the school gate. When they arrived at the registration area for new students, the old couple was stunned, looking at the young people from all over the world. They didn't know whether to step out with their left foot or right foot first when getting out of the car.
"Mom and Dad, why don't we just wait here? Comrade Xu can accompany Jin Yue to report." Xu Wenli found a place to sit down and looked around the campus curiously.
She only went to high school. Jin Yue had tried to persuade her to take the college entrance exam, but she would never take it. Just like Shu Wenming, she would rather endure the hardship of working than studying.
But when I arrived at a university campus with a strong academic atmosphere and looked at the college students who were full of hope and youth, I felt a little shaken and secretly regretted it.
Forget it, forget it. I won’t pass the exam anyway. It will be the same if I come to play with Jin Yue more often in the future.
Over there, Xu Duan took Jin Yue to complete the formalities quickly. Mainly because he was tall, good-looking, and had an outstanding temperament, he stood out from the crowd wherever he went, and everything he did seemed to be particularly smooth and quick.
"That's really unfair, huh."
Because he was a day student, and the accommodation conditions were said to be very tight this year, so the two schools were merged. Jin Yue did not apply for a dormitory and just left the bed for students who needed it more. All the formalities were completed within two hours, and I met the head teacher by the way. She was a young woman in her early twenties, younger than Jin Yue, with short hair, tall stature, and a cheerful personality. She would call out the names of every student she saw. Jin Yue had no doubt at all that she would call out their names directly when they met next time.
"Teacher Gao seems to have a good personality."
Xu Duan didn't respond. He rarely made comments about someone when he first met them. "Is it cold?"
This year's spring came especially early. Jin Yue was wearing a cotton coat, but he insisted on running around with him, and he was almost sweating. "It's not cold."
But Xu Duan had already bought a few bags of hot soy milk when he passed by the cafeteria, "Drink it."
Back at the parking lot, Xu Wenli and the old couple were excitedly looking at a small artificial lake. It turned out that there were two white swans in it!
No, no, no, it’s two big swans, leading six little swans, floating leisurely on the water. Their snow-white feathers are reflected on the clear lake water, and the whole world seems to have become a beautiful ink painting.
"Jinyue, your school is so beautiful. There are swans there. Do you think we can find swan eggs in these bushes?"
Xu Wenli took the hot soy milk and drank it with a sizzling sound. If Jin Yue hadn't pulled her back, she really wanted to go down and dig in the bushes.
“I’m not sure, but even if there is, it’s school property, so it’s best not to touch it.”
Xu Wenli felt a little regretful, "I haven't eaten swan eggs yet."
Shu Jinyue: “…” What are you thinking about, sister? Once you eat the swan eggs, jail time won’t be far away!
She discovered that her second sister-in-law's way of thinking was really different from everyone else's. She had to go back and remind her second brother to be more careful and not to want to eat everything he saw, as that would only hurt herself.
Xu Duan had something else to do in the afternoon, so he sent them and the unused bedding that they had brought to the school for a stroll back to Liuye Hutong and left. Jin Yue officially started classes the next day, so she got half a day off.
So cool!
During this half-day holiday, she packed up everything at home. Her neighbors Li Yulan and Shang Guangming were also moving.
Since buying the house in Courtyard No. 3, Shang Guangming has started to renovate it. Everything that needed to be done has been done during this period, and his family is planning to move in now.
Knowing that she was about to lose her tenant, who would leave her without mercy and without looking back, Aunt Li's face drooped to her belly button, "Oh my god, this is ours, you can't take it away."
That was clearly a partition that was built after the Shang family moved in. She even tore off the red window paper-cuts that were pasted on the window glass during the Chinese New Year, "This is mine!"
Li Yulan was pregnant, otherwise she would have fought with her in the morning. She took a few deep breaths and said, "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you, keep it for yourself."
As for the washbasin rack welded with steel bars and the clothes hanger made of bamboo, he had already grabbed the chicken rice and wheat husks into his arms and ran out with them - moving was like fleeing from a disaster.
They both rented out a house, but the Shu family was very generous in renting it to Qian Chunhua and Sun Dalong. Not only did they not care how they renovated the house, they also gave them all the unused items in the old house, saving the young couple a lot of money. In comparison, it is no wonder that everyone really looks down on Aunt Li.
"Bah, she's so short-sighted. I wonder who will dare to rent her house in the future."
"You know what? Yesterday I heard her standing at the entrance of the alley, asking everyone she met if they wanted to rent a house."
Recently, educated youth have started to return to the city. Housing in the city is tight, and many people have moved out to rent houses. She is good at doing business.
"But don't be fooled. Even if you want to rent, rent from the Shu family. They have built a kang for someone else. It's brand new. Even the walls have been painted with lime. The window glass has just been replaced. It's bright and shiny."
I don’t know if it was the spontaneous publicity that was effective or what, but that afternoon someone really came to inquire about renting a house.
Jin Yue was busy, so Zhao Wanqiu stepped in to handle it. "I heard that Xiao Du's family of four came back from the countryside. There are many brothers and sisters at home and they have no place to live, so let them come out and rent a house."
Du Aiguo is also from Shucheng. He was one of the first group of people to go to the countryside. He has been there for ten years. If Zhao Wanqiu hadn't asked him his age, everyone would have thought he was at least thirty-five or thirty-six years old - he really looked too old.
"His wife's name seems to be Qiuyue, right? She seems to be very hardworking. As soon as Wanqiu agreed to rent the house to them, she immediately cleaned the house inside and out. She is much more efficient than those young wives in our city."
No matter how well a daughter-in-law does, a mother-in-law will always find fault with her. “Compared to her, my daughters-in-law are slow at everything except eating, for fear of missing a bite.”
Zhao Wanqiu didn't respond. She was quite satisfied with her two daughters-in-law.
"Qiuyue is a country woman, so she must be more diligent. Otherwise, if Du Aiguo comes back alone without them, she won't be able to do anything."
Zhao Wanqiu disagreed, "If that's the case, then he's really a piece of shit."
"Well, Wanqiu, you've been busy seeing a doctor and haven't been out for a while, so you don't know what's going on outside. I heard that Aunt Niu's nephew, the one who went to the countryside three years ago, married the daughter of the production team's accountant in the countryside, but when the news came out that he had returned to the city, he divorced her and ran back last month without his wife or children."
"The city doesn't accept women and children as household registration. Even if they want to bring their children with them, they can't. When they come back, they have to pay for food and drink. Even the place to live has to pay. Just look at how they live."
"But no matter how difficult it is, you can't just give up like this, right?" These are his wife and children.
Everyone cursed the Niu family for being such a piece of shit, "When a man gets ruthless, he can even abandon his own flesh and blood."
So, a woman who has no blood relationship with them cannot be thrown away at any time?
"But it's not just men who are like this, isn't it the same for girls? She said she was unmarried in the countryside and would go back to the city to find a partner, but I see her figure, she looks like someone who has given birth. Wanqiu, you've been in the hospital for a long time, go and see if she looks like someone who has given birth one day."
Zhao Wanqiu shook her head. She didn't want to get involved in these things. "Come on, it has nothing to do with us. What if they really haven't been married? If we say these things, it would be a rumor and against the will of heaven."
When the others heard this, they also thought it was right, and immediately asked the aunt who started the conversation to stop talking nonsense.
The aunt was reprimanded by so many people, and she felt bad. She couldn't save face. "If you don't believe me, forget it. But just wait and see. She still wants Aunt Li to introduce her to someone. I wonder what kind of person she can introduce to her."
It was not until dinner time that Shu Jinyue realized that he had rented out another room. The rent was not expensive, but it was empty anyway, so it would be convenient for both himself and others.
"Du Aiguo's wife doesn't talk much, but she is very hardworking. I don't have her ability." Zhao Wanqiu couldn't help but talk about how she cleaned and worked. As soon as she moved in, she washed the family's clothes and hung them under the eaves.
"But it's really pitiful. I see that there is not a single piece of clothing on his body that is not patched. Once the clothes are washed, he can only hide in the house and dare not go out to see people."
As for the soap for washing clothes, she was the one who lent it to them temporarily. She had been trying to borrow it but failed and was about to cry. Zhao Wanqiu felt sorry for it and cut half of the soap she had used at home and gave it to her, saying that she would not feel bad if she didn't return it.
Jin Yue didn't react, "Why don't you dare go out?"
"Everyone only has this set of clothes to wear."
Everyone was silent, feeling unhappy. Although the people in the compound were poor, Second Brother and Jin Yue had to borrow clothes to save face when they went on blind dates. But not having good clothes and having no clothes are two different things. At least they had two sets of clothes to change into, so they wouldn't be left with nothing to wear after washing.
"Do they have a boy? If so, Aunt Zhao, please give them my old clothes."
"Yes, the boy is five or six years old, and the girl is less than one year old. I will look for Jin Yue's childhood clothes tomorrow and send two sets over as well."
***
Early the next morning, Shu Jinyue woke up half an hour earlier than usual. Her mother had filled the kettle with hot water for washing last night, so she could pour it out and use it immediately. As soon as she finished washing, breakfast was ready in the old house.
Because it was her first day of school after many years, Zhao Wanqiu took it very seriously and prepared two boiled eggs for her. "You can only eat one now. If you feel hungry during class, eat another one. You are not allowed to eat beforehand."
Jin Yue smiled happily, put the eggs in his schoolbag, and ran out with a steamed bun in his mouth. Sure enough, he saw Xu Duan at the entrance of the alley, "Why are you up so early?"
"I'm used to it. Have you had breakfast?"
When Jin Yue took a look, he saw two steaming brown sugar cakes next to him. The half bowl of corn porridge and the steamed bun in his mouth seemed as if he had not eaten anything.
Xu Duan was amused and got into the car and handed over the brown sugar cake. "I ate before I came here, you eat quickly."
There was no need to be polite to her boyfriend. Jin Yue immediately started eating with relish.
Before getting off the bus at school, she stuffed another treasured egg into his hand and said, "I'll take turns eating it with you. You're welcome."
The man looked at her happily receding back and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. Well, that's great.
Although it was his first day at college, it was not his first time in medical school. Jin Yue was very familiar with the place. He found the classroom where the class meeting was held, chose a seat at the back and sat down, then began to wait for his classmates to come in one after another.
Because the enrollment had just started, there was only one class in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Class of 1977, with 40 students. Unfortunately, only 38 of them showed up, and two did not show up for some unknown reason.
The head teacher Gao Haiping first introduced herself, briefly talked about the enrollment, the professional courses and the teachers, and then asked everyone to introduce themselves in turn.
Jin Yue's seat was relatively far back, but he had memorized most of the guys first. Most of the college students in this class had just come from factories, the army, and the fields. They all looked weathered and mature. Occasionally there were a few younger ones, and they were all fresh graduates. Jin Yue looked very ordinary among them.
Among the 38 students, the oldest is 29 years old and is a member of the third class, and the youngest freshman is only 15 years old. In Jin Yue's opinion, they are simply geniuses!
Think about it, when she was sixteen, her academic performance was so terrible that she didn't even dare to think about going to college. If it weren't for her rebirth giving her an extraordinary memory and teacher Wang Mingchao's dedicated guidance, she knew she would never be able to get into college.
Not only did she get into the same school and the same major as me at the age of fifteen, she even had the highest score in her class!
Shu Jinyue looked at the little girl named Lin Zhen and shed tears of envy.
Perhaps feeling her burning gaze, Lin Zhen smiled at her and blinked mischievously, looking just like those half-grown kids in the alley.
There were several male classmates on Jinyue's left, and the right side was empty. After class, Lin Zhen ran directly to her side and said, "Comrade, let me sit with you. Your name is Shu Jinyue, right?"
"Okay, how do you know my name?"
"I heard you introduce yourself."
Shu Jinyue also smiled. She could remember most of her classmates' names, so there was no reason why they couldn't remember hers. Even if she was ordinary, there would always be a few classmates who would remember her, right?
She didn't know why, but after the heart-to-heart talk with Xu Duan that day, she had unknowingly become more confident in many things. Before, she was only confident in her medical skills, but now she felt that although she looked ordinary and was short, she also had her own attractive side. Otherwise, why would Xu Duan, such a knowledgeable and outstanding person, like her?
She firmly believed that she must have extraordinary qualities besides her medical skills.
Lin Zhen is young and lively. It is rare for her to meet a lively "big sister" like Jin Yue. She is a chatterbox and the two quickly became familiar with each other.
Lin Zhen is from a neighboring province. Both her parents are workers. She skipped grades when she was young. She just graduated from the fourth grade of junior high school this year. When she saw the news that the college entrance examination had been resumed, many of her classmates wanted to try it, so she went with them to try. Unexpectedly, she got a good score.
But even so, she repeatedly emphasized that she just had an average IQ, very ordinary.
Jin Yue, the fool, really believed it and asked quickly: "How long have you attended tutoring classes?" He must have taken some last-minute classes.
“No.”
"You haven't attended class for a single day? Then you must have some amazing review materials!" The review materials for the first year were not open to the public, so everyone showed off their skills.
"Ah, there's such a thing as review materials? Don't we just read the textbook?"
Shu Jinyue: “…” What an mediocre little genius!
Jin Yue beat his chest and stamped his feet: "Your score is good enough to go to a key university in Beijing. Why did you come to a small school like ours, and to study such an unpopular major in Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
"I just wanted to study medicine, and this school happened to be close to home, so I came here."
Shu Jinyue: “…” I’m tired of talking about envy. The gap between people is even bigger than that between people and dogs!
"Xiao Lin Zhen, I want to cling to your thighs. Can you teach me how to study?"
So, the two of them talked about studying until after school, and then to the cafeteria. They hadn’t finished talking even after dinner, and Jin Yue had made his first good friend in college just by relying on his own bootlicking!
Maybe it was because Jin Yue always played with her brothers and sisters in real life, and all her friends were older than her. It was rare for her to meet someone younger than her, so she had a novel feeling and would always pull Lin Zhen to eat with her.
Of course, Lin Zhen is also a weirdo in the dormitory. She doesn’t get along well with her roommates, but she and Jin Yue are “birds of a feather”. Both of them are naive, romantic and food-loving girls. In less than two months, they have already eaten all the hidden delicacies of the locals in Jin Yue Book City.
Jin Yue has money in her hands and is an invisible rich woman, while Lin Zhen is the only daughter in the family. She is doted on by her parents. She is the only grandchild of her grandparents. It takes almost six workers (cadres) to raise her, so she has more pocket money than she can spend.
So this is the happiness of being an only child in the city. Jin Yue is extremely envious.
Of course, there is another good news. Anna's mother's illness has been cured. After taking three doses of Guizhi Gancao Decoction, her heart palpitations have been almost cured. They came to Jin Yue again, hoping that he would continue to prescribe some medicine.
She had taken a lot of Chinese and Western medicines before, but there was no improvement. Doctor Shu prescribed just two medicines and it turned out to be such a big difference. The mother and daughter were so happy that they sent Jin Yue a net bag of pears and pomegranates.
They are all seasonal fruits. Jin Yue would hold one and chew it every day when he comes home. He gains weight the most when he eats fruits after meals. Look, in less than three months, Jin Yue found that he had gained weight.
All the weight I lost while preparing for the exam has been gained back.
"What are you laughing at? Did something good happen to you?" Zhao Wanqiu thought to herself that her daughter was so happy at the university that she saw her smiling every day, and her face was getting plumper and plumper.
"Hey, mom, you don't understand. You guys don't share the same joys and sorrows as young people."
Speaking of this, she and Shu Linong were really worried, "Will your second brother really lose his job?"
It turns out that since a large number of educated youth began to return to the city, jobs have become even harder to find. Many families are mobilizing all their efforts to find jobs for their children who have returned to the city. Even a temporary job is particularly popular. Shu Wenming is now in an awkward situation. The new manager doesn't like him either, and he isn't particularly close to his colleagues. Someone whispered in his ear that the manager's nephew returned to the city last month, and he's afraid that the position will have to go to the nephew.
"Your second brother has been in a really bad mood these past few days. Wen Li said that their manager always finds excuses to embarrass them, the temporary workers."
Of course, the influence of Xu Duan's appearance that year is still there, and the manager has not made things difficult for him in the past two years. But the other two temporary workers are not so lucky. They always do the dirtiest and most tiring work and get the least benefits. Who would have thought that a new manager was recently appointed, and he took his anger out on them, the temporary workers.
"He's been in trouble several times. Wenli persuaded him not to lose his temper the previous times, but he couldn't hold it back yesterday and had an argument with their manager. We almost got into a fight."
Jin Yue sighed. His second brother is not the same as before. The manager must have done something excessive to make him unable to hold back and want to take action.
"Second brother, you are just too impulsive. Don't argue with your boss, otherwise he will be bullied in the future and he won't be able to complain."
Teacher Shu has been accustomed to tolerance all her life. She believes in enduring when she can, and crying secretly when she can't.
Sure enough, when Shu Wenming came into the room and heard this, he snorted, "I'm not as cowardly as you."
Teacher Shu's face flushed red. "If you are not a coward, someone will deliberately find a fault with you in a few days to expel you. I think you will be left with nothing!"
"Look, you only have such a small house. What will you do when you have children in the future? You will live in a slum like this for the rest of your life. Won't you feel helpless then?"
The old couple didn't know that he had undergone a vasectomy, nor did they know that he had already bought the courtyard house. In Teacher Shu's mind, the second brother had been doing small business in the black market in the past two years to earn some food expenses. Coupled with Wen Li, who often needed to take medicine and supplement nutrition, his burden was the heaviest among his brothers and sisters. If you lose your job, you may not even be able to find a place to work.
"He wants to fire me? No way. I have a banner issued by the Public Security Bureau and a thank-you letter with a seal. With these, he can't fire me." But he can't avoid being bullied, and he might even take his anger out on Wen Li. This is something he can't tolerate.
"I don't want to argue with you." Shu Wenming suppressed his anger, did not argue with his old father, and went out by himself.
This really pissed off Mr. Shu. He called him a "rebellious son" on the left and "wanted to piss me off to death" on the right. Jin Yue could only persuade him, "You should just go play some aviary and chess. My second brother is not a child. He can handle his own affairs."
In fact, after spending more time with each other, you will find that although Teacher Shu is a kind father, he is sometimes too stubborn and feudal. He is a typical Long national parent with the "I'm doing this for your own good" attitude, but my second brother has never bought into it since he was a child.
When it was time for dinner, Shu Wenming didn't go home for dinner. Zhao Wanqiu wanted to save some for him, but Teacher Shu said that it was not allowed. "If he wants to go out on the street, let him drink outside."
Jin Yue was not worried about whether he would be hungry. Of course not. The second brother was the most cunning person in the family. He might be enjoying a good life somewhere now.
Well, she was right. After dark, Jin Yue and his second sister-in-law came back from watching TV in Li Yulan's new house. They were about to wash up and go to bed when his second brother came back with his hands behind his back, shaking, "Here."
He took out an oil-paper bag. Xu Wenli smelled the aroma of oil and her eyes lit up immediately. "Roast chicken from East Street?!"
She didn't want to eat alone, so she quickly called Jin Yue to go to their room to eat together.
The weather has been getting hotter these days, and meat basically cannot be left overnight. Jin Yue also ate a lot. Half of the roast chicken was torn by hand, and there was a whole chicken leg and chicken wing that were not torn, which were placed intact on the top. Of course she knew that this was left by the second brother for his second sister-in-law.
Wen Li was embarrassed and forced the chicken leg into her hand, "You eat it, I'm tired of it."
"Yeah, you two secretly ate it alone without my knowledge, that's really mean of you. I can't eat it anymore, I have dignity, I won't eat it if you don't give it to me." Then he immediately said that he liked chicken wings, and the legs should be eaten by the second sister-in-law alone.
Wen Li blushed, "Actually I didn't tell you that. I always shared yours. It was your second brother who said I could eat the chicken leg by myself. There was only one leg each time, so it was hard to share."
Shu Jinyue laughed. That was true. Shu Wenming had just bought a house and didn't have much money. He could only buy half a roast chicken at most, which would only be a chicken leg. If his sister-in-law was not tactful enough to get close to him, wouldn't that be unfair to his beloved fat wife?
"Alas, my second brother really forgot about his sister after marrying a wife."
Shu Wenming glared at her, "Even if there's food, it can't stop you from eating."
Jin Yue was not willing to be outdone, and was about to drag her second sister-in-law to scold him together, but Wen Li gently side-stepped her, "Let's not talk about him, he's in a bad mood."
It turned out that he almost had a fight with his manager this time because of Wen Li. "No matter how the manager treated the three temporary workers, he could actually tolerate it. It was because the manager saw that he couldn't control him that he said he would replace me and let me continue to work at the counter. Your second brother also felt sorry for me, so..."
"After the previous manager stepped down, the current manager didn't do anything obviously wrong, but everyone has a few poor relatives. I heard that he has several nephews and nieces who are unemployed and can't come back without a job. People come to the company every day to look for him, and he is getting crazy. He can't move the regular employees, so he can only move the temporary ones. He has to put a few of them in anyway."
Shu Jinyue thought to himself, no wonder, it’s all because of interests, there are so many big Buddhas in such a small temple like the vegetable station.
Shu Wenming came back from washing his face and saw that they were just eating and not talking. He felt a little strange. Whenever these two sisters-in-law were together, they would not be so quiet. "What's wrong with you two?"
Jin Yue asked nonchalantly: "Second brother, why did you go to East Street?" It's far from here and people usually don't go there unless there is something important.
"Go have a couple of drinks with friends."
Shu Wenming wiped the water off his face, then lay down on the kang with his hands behind his head. "Shu Jinyue, do you think it will have any impact if I lose my job now?"
"What impact? So many educated youth are unemployed. Besides the difficulties in life... Oh, that's not right. What impact do you mean?"
"If I lose my job, will the Youth League Office send me to the countryside? Or will there be any political problems..."
Jin Yue laughed, “What are you thinking about? No, no, the policy will not change anymore. It will only become more and more relaxed in the future. No matter how many people will not have stable jobs in the future, others will still live well.” The sending of educated youth to the countryside has become history.
After that, the room was silent for a moment. Wen Li even forgot to chew the chicken leg. "Wenming, you are not really going to be fired, are you?"
Shu Wenming snorted coldly, "He fired me? I'll fire him first."
Jin Yue always felt that with his current cunning, his second brother would not say such things for no reason. "If you have any plans, let your second sister-in-law know first. Don't let her be kept in the dark and worry."
In fact, she discovered that her second brother was good to his second sister-in-law, but he was a little chauvinistic and liked to have everything handled for her so that she didn't have to use her brain and could live without worries... But if she really wanted to consider her long-term, Jin Yue felt that she should be allowed to gradually participate in the decision-making of the small family, so that she would know how treacherous people's hearts are and that she would have to use her brain.
To put it bluntly, they have no children. If they are lucky enough to have a lot of money in the future, and Shu Wenming passes away early, Xu Wenli will become the child who walks through the busy streets with gold in her arms, and many people will pounce on her like hungry wolves.
Even if they don't have a lot of money, the house they own in Jinyu Hutong will be worth a lot of money in the future. It would be strange if they don't covet it!
It's not that she is sinister. I'm afraid that the person she will be most concerned about at that time will be her brother from her mother's side. By then, she will be old and her brother will be in his prime, and who knows how he will bully her.
People are treacherous. Jin Yue has experienced this deeply in the matter of Yao Qingqing. If he thinks more about it now, he may suffer less in the future.
Sure enough, Shu Wenming also took Jin Yue's words to heart. He pondered for a moment and explained to Wen Li, "It's like this. A few days ago, Sister Li's husband came to me and wanted to find a job for his nephew. He said that if I was willing, they were willing to pay 600 yuan for my position."
He was the big brother who made acrylic pillowcases in the textile factory. Later, the two of them "cooperated" several times. In the past two years, they often shared what they had with each other, so they had some friendship.
"Six hundred yuan?! Are they crazy?" Xu Wenli exclaimed slightly. This was just a temporary job, and the salary was still 18 yuan. After deducting food and drink, there was basically no money left. What's the difference between this and taking out a loan to work?
Spending 600 yuan just to find a class that can't support oneself is also a last resort, because many people don't know the general trend of the future. They think that as long as they have a class to attend, they will not go to the countryside again, and they will have the confidence to date. But how can they know the great changes in the future?
By then, eighteen dollars would not even be enough for a fast food meal, but it would allow them to work diligently for a month without any regrets! But six hundred yuan nowadays is a huge sum of money and can do a lot of things.
Jin Yue thought of that scene and his heart was agitated, "Second brother, sell it."
"You agree too?" Shu Wenming immediately found an ally and sat up. "I won't become a jobless vagrant in the future, right?"
"No, I can sell my job and use the money to start a small business, and I can make more money."
"But the ghost market is not permanent after all..."
"Who said we have to go to the ghost market? Just wait. According to this trend, it won't be long before all kinds of markets will be opened. Then you can buy and sell things openly. You don't have to be sneaky at night anymore." By then, private shop owners, small factories and companies will pop up like mushrooms after a rain. These people will initially be "vagrants" who can't find a job, but later they may become big entrepreneurs and wealthy people.
Shu Jinyue remembered that his second brother in his previous life was stubborn and thought that there was nothing wrong with resigning. He was troubled by his manager for many years and was finally fired in the early 1980s.
With the title of "expelled", he became notorious in Liuye Hutong. As a person with a gloomy personality to begin with, he was even more criticized. His first love died of illness, he refused to get married, was fired, and had a gloomy look in his eyes. He became a well-known weirdo in Liuye Hutong.
Later, he couldn't stand everyone looking at him like a monster anymore, so he went to eastern Guangdong Province. As for how he made his fortune, Jin Yue only vaguely knew that he seemed to have worked as a laborer on a construction site and then became a contractor?
Shu Wenming was moved by what she said, "Are you sure it will be like this?"
"Sure. Look, I'm almost done with one semester at university. Would you have believed it if it was last year?"
Shu Wenming thought to himself that was not the case. The changes in the past two years were so great that sometimes he even doubted whether he was dreaming and whether he would go back to the past.
"How does Jin Yue know so much?" Xu Wenli's eyes were full of stars.
"Our university teacher said so."
Well, Jin Yue is their only connection in the university, so whatever she says is the truth. To be able to be a university teacher, one must be very impressive, and she won’t be wrong.
Xu Wenli is good at persuading herself. She clenched her fists and said, "Wenming, sell your job and mine too. I will share the hardship with you."
"Nonsense, just go to work." He didn't want her to make money, he just wanted her to have something to do, otherwise he would think too much.
Shu Jinyue yawned and said, "You guys take your time showing off. I'm going back to my room to sleep. I have to get up early for school tomorrow."
Unexpectedly, she didn't sleep well. After brushing her teeth, she turned on the electric fan, sat cross-legged on the kang, and planned to read a book before she felt sleepy enough.
Reading has become her habit, especially in the summer when she sits on the cool kang mat. When she feels sleepy, she puts down the book and falls asleep in seconds.
Today was no exception. She put the book down and curled up in the quilt. Just as she was about to close her eyes, she suddenly heard a commotion outside.
"Is Jin Yue asleep? Hurry up and get up, someone is looking for you."
"Mom, who is it?"
Zhao Wanqiu lay on the door panel and whispered, "The secretary Wang who came to see you before, the one who drove the sedan."
Shu Jinyue sat up suddenly, Secretary Wang! That was someone close to Hu Guizhi. When Jin Yue and Xu Duan went to pay her New Year's greetings after the New Year, they met him and chatted with him for a few words. If it wasn't an emergency, they wouldn't come to find me in the middle of the night.
"Wait a moment, I'll be out right away." Jin Yue changed out of his pajamas, put on daytime clothes, casually tidied his hair, put on a coat and went out.
Secretary Wang was in the old house, accompanied by Teacher Shu. He had drunk half of the water in front of him. "Dr. Shu, we meet again. Leader Hu wants you to come over for something. I should have called in advance to let him know, but I thought your street office didn't have enough staff on duty, so I came directly."
Those who can serve as drivers and secretaries for big leaders are not ordinary people. Jin Yue said, "Shall we set off now?"
Seeing Zhao Wanqiu's worried look, "Would it be convenient for my mother to come with me?"
"Of course it's convenient. Please come in."
Secretary Wang only knew that she was being asked to see a doctor: "It seems to be an expert who passed by the bookstore and was about to return to Beijing. He brought a child with him, and the child was sick."
Jin Yue roughly knew what was going on. A few days ago, Xu Duan was called away by Hu Guizhi to go to the neighboring province to pick up some people. They said they were going to pick up a group of old experts who were in the labor reform farm. These experts had their own expertise. Some were foreign language translators, some were medical surgeons, some were botanists, some were experts in mechanical design, and several of them were nuclear physicists.
Because there are still enemies hiding among the masses, the work has to be carried out in secrecy. In order to maximize their personal safety, these experts returned to Beijing in batches. Xu Duan escorted them several times along the way. The last one could not leave for the time being because he was with his child. The child was not acclimatized to the local climate and needed to recuperate in the book city for a while.
This should be the person Secretary Wang was talking about.
But it was just a simple case of acclimatization. Given how much Hu Guizhi valued them, she must have hired the best doctor, so they wouldn't have not recovered yet. Jin Yue thought to himself, the trouble is coming again!
