"Comrade Zhong is very smart. In the future, the baby born to Dashan and Comrade Zhong will definitely be smart." Yan Guofeng was very pleased.
Yan Hejun: “…” The topic has gone off track.
Well, he won't pour cold water on you.
Yan Guofeng smiled to himself, "Tell your wife to urge Dashan to marry your grandson's wife as soon as possible. There are not many good girls like you these days. You don't know that I have rheumatism and cold legs! I often feel pain. When the pain is severe, it becomes difficult for me to walk. Comrade Zhong heard about it and gave me a folk remedy. Now I feel much better. It has been so long since the beginning of winter, and my cold legs have not recurred. The folk remedy she gave me is effective and not expensive. It is something that can be easily obtained."
"What's the remedy?"
"This is a folk remedy for treating rheumatism and cold legs. Look at those old guys from the Cheng, Luo and Lin families, they don't dare to go out now. Even in the middle of winter, I still go out to work." The pain in my body was gone, I felt refreshed and alert.
Yan Hejun frowned slightly, then relaxed. "As long as it works for you, that's all. Since this remedy is so effective, why didn't you tell the other old men about it? At least they can suffer less."
They are all old revolutionaries. Few of the older generation who came out of the war years are in good health.
"Bullshit, the folk remedy is not mine. Besides, I haven't been using it for long. Who knows how effective it will be in the future? Anyway, it's working well now." He is not stupid. Even if it is a folk remedy, it is something in someone else's hands. How can he publicize it without the consent of the owner?
So stupid.
Yan Guofeng frowned in disdain. "Don't tell me anything about this. Wait until I get Comrade Zhong's opinion before making any plans."
“It’s just a little folk remedy…”
"A small folk remedy can cure serious illnesses, why haven't I seen those doctors use this folk remedy?" He was not overthinking it, there must be some doctors who knew this folk remedy, but none of them used it; no matter what the purpose was, his granddaughter-in-law who was not yet married took it out, the selfless kind.
Why should I give it to others for free?
"Maybe they don't know." Yan Hejun said uncertainly, feeling unsure.
Yan Guofeng snorted coldly, "I don't know if they are too ignorant. I'm telling you, don't tell anyone about this. Everything can only be submitted after Comrade Zhong agrees. Let the higher-ups popularize the folk remedies. We can't take it over."
As he is approaching retirement, he doesn't want to take on any work, nor does he want to take on any work for his son. Neither of them work in the same system.
Not to mention that he is not ideologically conscious enough, if the premise of high ideological awareness is to infringe on other people's things, he really doesn't care.
"I know, Dad. I'm not a big talker." Yan Hejun nodded helplessly. "Do you know what the formula is?"
"Ask your son." Yan Guofeng looked at him coldly. "I'm warning you, if you dare to tell anyone about this, I won't give you face just because you're old."
Yan Hejun repeatedly assured him that he would never tell anyone, and only then did Yan Guofeng give up.
As night fell, the Zhong family's house was brightly lit, welcoming a distinguished guest.
Xi Nian was accompanied by two guards. All three of them were carrying heavy bags, and the two guards also had various large and small bags hanging from their bodies.
"Hello, Comrade Xi Nian! Why are you carrying so many things? Just come over." Zhong Yuxiu signaled to Haonan and Tian Shangguo, and they stepped forward to help unload the things and put them aside.
"Well, I only gave you two as New Year gifts. The rest are benefits from my superiors. I happened to be coming over, so I brought them to you on my way. Otherwise, I would have notified you to pick them up tomorrow." Xi Nian moved his wrist and then resumed his polite demeanor. "Comrade Zhong, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year to you too." Zhong Yuxiu pointed to the dining table. "Please take a seat and try some of Goudan's mutton soup to warm you up. I'm really sorry for bothering you with this trip in the heavy snow."
"please."
The two sat down, and Xi Nian smiled and said, "It's my duty to make this trip. With a car to pick me up, how can I say it's hard work? Besides, I can also have a meal, so it's worth it. The New Year's gift from above is generous. I don't know what you like to eat, so I've prepared some seafood and mountain products for you. Try them and tell me what you like. I've requested it and sent it to you."
"Thank you so much. I'd like to trouble Comrade Xi to thank the higher-ups for thinking of me during the Chinese New Year."
"As you should, as you should. You've made a huge contribution, advancing science and technology. We've made a killing this year." Xi Nian then pulled out a narrow slip and handed it to her. "This is this year's dividend, it's all here. There will be even more next year. The range hoods you manufacture are selling very well abroad. Businessmen in several countries have already pre-ordered a large batch, and they'll be ready for export next year."
Zhong Yuxiu took the deposit slip and placed it on the table, looking him in the eye. "That means their country hasn't reached the threshold yet. Our procedures are effective."
The mobility scooters will be exported first. If the program is figured out, those businessmen are not stupid; domestic products are always much cheaper. If they rush to place orders, it can only mean one thing: they cannot crack her program in a short time.
"Indeed, the program you gave me is very useful. We plan to apply it to other important equipment and have already started researching it. I believe we will get the desired results soon." Xi Nian looked relaxed and well-mannered.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded and said, "I look forward to that day."
“We have the same expectations.”
The two smiled at each other. Haonan and Tian Shangguo brought the food to the table. "Comrade Zhong, dinner is ready."
"Okay." Zhong Yuxiu smiled and said, "Comrade Xi, please wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
"I'll go right away." Xi Nian nodded, stood up, and Tian Shangguo took him to the bathroom.
Zhong Yuxiu looked at the two guards and said, "Go wash your hands, both of you. Just follow Comrade Xi Nian. I'll go check in the kitchen."
"yes."
As soon as Zhong Yuxiu left, Haonan followed; the two guards went to the bathroom.
The kitchen was filled with the aroma of food, and Goudan was still frying vegetables. When entertaining guests, vegetables should be fried later; otherwise, they will easily change color and become sticky, and will not taste good.
“How many more dishes are there?”
"This is the only one. The others are already on the table." Hao Nan said, "Comrade Zhong, do you want to wash your hands?"
Zhong Yuxiu nodded slightly, walked into the kitchen, turned on the faucet in front of the sink, and the cold water washed over her skin, making her feel cool all over. After washing it in a few strokes, she retracted her hands and rubbed her fingers.
"It's really cold."
"There's hot water." Haonan poured hot water from the pot for her.
Zhong Yuxiu washed it again. "The weather in Shangjing is much colder than in Province C. The cold front is also very strong. The wind and snow have become a unique landscape."
It never snows in Province C, and she has never seen snow when she went to the countryside.
"It's not like Province C doesn't snow. It's just because of its geographical location that it rarely snows." As he spoke, the vegetables came out of the pot and Haonan took them. "Comrade Zhong, let's go out for dinner."
