Chapter 263 God of Wealth

Hou Deming asked the children: "Are you staying here for dinner tonight? I'll go to the cafeteria to get some more food. Do you want steamed buns or rice?"

Hou Bo thought about his third aunt's instructions and said, "Grandpa, we can just go home and eat. My mother and third aunt asked you to eat well in the hospital, don't worry, there is a grandma in the family hospital who can help buy food stamps."

Hou Deming nodded repeatedly. He said gratefully: "Thanks to your third aunt's family for their help, you children should remember it."

Hou Bo and others immediately said that they would remember it.

Hou Wei said with a smile: "My third aunt is very kind to me, just like my elder brother and sister."

While they were chatting, Zhan Qiuran came over in a white coat, greeted the children, and then helped Mr. Shao take a look.

"Old man, is your cough severe?"

Mr. Shao was directing Tiantian to acupuncture several acupoints on him. He said, "I coughed the most severely last night. I coughed for a while this morning and now I feel better."

It's not that he doesn't cough . , mainly a dry cough, which can be suppressed.

After drinking a bowl of Tremella soup, I rested for a while before getting the injection. I felt much better.

Zhan Qiuran was not surprised to see Tiantian giving the old man an injection. He even came over to take a look and said with a smile "Our Tiantian's technique is becoming more and more sophisticated."

Tiantian laughed, not shy at all.

Pan Pan: "Fuck, don't you see how big Hou Wei and I have sacrificed."

Tian Tian used them as test subjects every day, pricking their acupuncture points here and there. Anyway, some acupuncture points don't hurt and don't bleed. , at most they feel sore and bloated.

They say it can improve their immunity and prevent them from catching colds. After chatting for

a while, Zhan Qiuran said to the children, "Wait a minute for your godfather to come over and take you home."

Chen Yanming drove over and brought food to the two grandfathers, including scallion pancakes, millet porridge, and radish stewed with oil residue.

The children asked the two grandfathers to eat and followed Chen Yanming back.

Panpan waved goodbye to Grandpa Shao reluctantly, "Grandpa Shao, get well soon and come to my house for a visit."

Hou Deming went to the window, watched the children getting into the car downstairs, waved, and the children immediately followed. He waved.

Panpan was still shouting, "Grandpa Hou, let Grandpa Shao have a good rest and get well soon!"

Hou Deming agreed repeatedly, waved his hand and told them to get in the car and go back. When the jeep was no longer in sight, he turned back to the bed and Doctor Shao is having dinner.

He smiled and said, "The two children really like you. They can't bear to leave you now."

Doctor Shao's wrinkled face was smiling all afternoon. He drank a sip of carrot soup and said, "I am still very popular. I like it."

He used to lie still, but now for the sake of recovery, he and Hou Deming go for a walk after dinner.

He wants to recover quickly and return to work as soon as possible.

"I have to go to the Provincial College of Traditional Chinese Medicine later . I have to teach, and I have to open the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is this doctor...”

Hou Deming looked at him in surprise. Yesterday, he said vigorously that he was old and waiting to be buried in peace in his remaining years. He didn’t want to struggle anymore, and he didn’t want to live a long life. You're going to take the initiative to take on the responsibility today even though you're old enough to work?

You go to the medical school to teach, you reopen the Chinese medicine hospital? Isn't this a bit too difficult?

He said: "Brother Shao, I think we should put the Chinese medicine hospital aside for now, you go to teach first, and by the way, I can be an old doctor in the Chinese medicine department of the hospital. After all, I am not young anymore, I have to take it easy and not tire myself out.

He did not persuade his grandson not to work. Everyone knows that doctors, especially Chinese medicine doctors, are more valuable as they age, because they have more experience. The doctor thought about it and realized that he was a little anxious. He could not become fat in one bite. Although

he was stubborn, But he is not stupid. He is stubborn only when he is sure of something, and will also accept advice even if he is not sure of it. After staying in the hospital for three nights, Dr. Shao could n't stand it any longer and had to leave. He was so determined to leave that no one could persuade him. But because of his old age, his recovery was slow, so the director and chief of the hospital refused to let him go. They knew him again and respected him very much. Naturally, they wanted to give him the best treatment and were unwilling to let him leave the hospital early. He asked Zhan Qiuran to use the back door, "Miss, please prescribe me a few bottles of medicine. I will take them home and inject them myself. "Little lady, give me the injection!" Zhan Qiuran couldn't help laughing and said, "Old man, do you need these two days? I want you to be completely cured and discharged from the hospital, so that you don't have to worry about the future." The old man was very stubborn, "Of course it's better. The sooner you get out, the sooner I can go back." Freedom." Hou Deming was at a loss, so he asked Zhan Qiuran for help. Zhan Qiuran went to talk to the director, who finally agreed to discharge the old man and prescribed two days of intravenous drips for him to go home. So when Chen Yanming came to see Zhan Qiuran and bring food to the two old men, he was discharged from the hospital. Chen Yanming also Without saying anything more, they invited Doctor Shao to come to their place. But the old doctor refused, "I will stay at the guesthouse of the Revolutionary Committee for two days, and then move back when my unit arranges housing." Chen Yanming: "Old sir, we There are dormitories there, you can stay together for two days, it's good for everyone to communicate... right?" He originally wanted to say that he was taking care of him, but he was afraid that the old man would be sensitive. Thinking that Tiantian and Panpan would go back and keep praising Grandpa Shao for his greatness and profound knowledge, I still wanted to learn from him, so he said we should communicate. As expected, the old doctor liked the idea of ​​communication and agreed. Zhan Qiuran wrote down the precautions on a piece of paper and asked Chen Yanming to give it to Tiantian. It was useless to give it to the old man because he would definitely not follow it. Although doctors remind patients to follow their instructions, in fact, most doctors do not follow their instructions. Hou Deming After packing up his bag and Dr. Shao's blanket roll, he asked Chen Yanming to take the things over. Dr. Shao said, "Wait, I'll find some clothes to change into." He hadn't made new clothes for several years. He wore old clothes over and over again, and went to work on the farm. All of his clothes had patches, but there were always some with fewer patches, which looked a little better. He took out a Zhongshan suit that he rarely wore and kept underneath . , although there are two patches, at least they are relatively new.

Hou Deming was stunned. If you didn't know him, you might think the old man was going on a blind date. He hadn't dressed up since he was sent down to the countryside a few years ago. Seeing

the old man who was always rough suddenly become particular, Hou Deming was a little uncomfortable.

Before leaving, old doctor Shao poured some water and smoothed his sparse gray hair.

Hou Deming couldn't stand it anymore, "Old Shao, that's enough. It's very cold in winter."

It's already the beginning of winter. If you go out like this and the north wind blows, what will you do if you catch a cold?

He used a towel to ruffle the old man's hair twice to stop him from being conceited.

Chen Yanming and Zhan Qiuran laughed when they saw this, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud. They walked outside the ward and smiled at each other.

On the way, the old man started to worry again, whispering to Hou Deming: "I didn't buy two packs of snacks or anything."

It's impolite to go to someone's house empty-handed.

Hou Deming: "It's okay, it's polite that you can go, the children love you."

You taught Tiantian all your skills, so what do you need snacks for?

Believe it or not, people will treat you like a idol, and they will serve you with good food and drink every day, and even support you in your old age.

The old man thought again and said to Hou Deming: "People have brought me food today, should I go tomorrow?"

Chen Yanming almost couldn't hold it in, and thought about the bad things in his mind, and held back.

Hou Deming: "We are all discharged from the hospital, and we can't go back now!"

Doctor Shao glanced at him, "Old Hou, you have a bad temper. Why do you get angry so easily? I tell you, at our age, we must cultivate our character and keep calm."

Hou Deming: "Haha."

You were quite calm when you couldn't speak because of pneumonia.

When the car passed the front door of the Revolutionary Committee, Mr. Shao curled his lips and muttered, "The feng shui of this courtyard is not good."

Chen Yanming smiled and said, "Old sir, the director of the Revolutionary Committee has been replaced since you went to the farm."

The director of the Provincial Revolutionary Committee is equivalent to the level of □□ and the governor.

When he heard that the director who had demoted him had been replaced, his eyes lit up, "Did he commit a crime?"

Chen Yanming nodded slightly, "Yes."

It was Lao Lu who submitted the information at that time, and that person caught it and took the current director out of the cadre school to take charge of the work.

Doctor Shao applauded and said happily, "Good, a good change. Well, this is good feng shui!"

Hou Deming coughed, "Old Shao, you have to pay attention too. You are a doctor, not a charlatan. Don't say anything more."

If this is left somewhere else, you may be reported again.

Doctor Shao: "I know."

I didn't say it in front of others.

The jeep arrived outside the gate of No. 8 Courtyard. The children upstairs heard the movement and looked out. They were very surprised to see the two old men and ran downstairs with joy.

Lin Shu heard the sound and looked over. She put away the design drafts, opened the door and went to the corridor to greet them. Just then, a group of people came upstairs.

Panpan and Tiantian walked in front, holding the hands of old doctor Shao on both sides. "Mom, Grandpa Shao is here!"

Lin Shu smiled and said, "The old man is finally well, come in and have a rest."

She quietly asked Chen Yanming in the back and learned that the two of them had not eaten yet. Chen Yanming sent the food to Zhan Qiuran and others.

Lin Shu went to make some noodles for them.

The noodles were made by her and her elder sister after they rolled too much and dried them. There was not much, but it was enough for a few meals.

When the noodles are half done, crack four eggs into the soup, mix a purple shrimp skin soup base, put some lard, soy sauce, and sweet noodle sauce in it, stir well, then put the noodles and eggs in, and add a few drops of sesame oil.

In addition, chili oil, vinegar, and pickles are brought over, and the two are allowed to adjust according to their taste.

Hou Deming is not to be mentioned, even Dr. Shao, who has had no appetite for several years, ate until his forehead was sweating, and repeatedly said it was delicious.

Panpan: "My mother's pickles are delicious, Grandpa, you guys try it."

She even peeled garlic for them, taking very good care of them.

After they finished their meal, Hou Bo also ran to call his parents and grandmother over. They had dinner here for the past few days, and then took a walk back to rest after dinner.

The children invited the two grandfathers to go for a walk to help digestion, otherwise what would they do if they couldn't digest the food?

Doctor Shao was worried that it was cold outside at night and the street lights were not bright enough and it was a bit dark. He didn't want to go out, so he told the children that boxing could also help digestion.

He took the children to the corridor to walk a few laps and practice Ba Duan Jin.

Nowadays, things like Ba Duan Jin are basically inherited from family or teachers, so country people naturally don't know how to do it, so Old Man Lu doesn't know how to do it, and the children don't know how to do it either.

Seeing that it was new, they learned very seriously.

Doctor Shao was afraid that they couldn't learn it, so he practiced slowly and wanted to teach them a few more times. As a result, after one practice, Pan Pan and Tian Tian already knew how to do it, and they did it well and their power was correct.

Doctor Shao was shocked. He had seen smart people who had to learn three or five times. You guys were too good to be able to do it in just one time.

Tiantian also told the slow learners Lu Ping, Lu An, Hou Ying and Hou Wei, "It would be better to learn it in combination with the operation of the meridians."

Doctor Shao nodded frequently. This little lady is really amazing!

Under the guidance of Panpan and Tiantian, the children quickly learned it and planned to go back to teach their grandmother and mother.

Doctor Shao: "Ba Duan Jin should be practiced slowly, not quickly."

Panpan: "Grandpa Shao, I see you are playing a little fast?"

Hou Deming finally couldn't help laughing. At last, someone was there to teach the stubborn old man.

Doctor Shao: "I just want to help you digest your food. It will be too late if I take you to practice tomorrow."

When Lu Shaotang came back from overtime, he admired the scene of the children practicing Ba Duan Jin together. Hmm, it was quite pleasing to the eyes.

He chatted with the two old men for a few words and went into the house to find Lin Shu. He glanced at her and asked in a low voice: "Why don't you learn from the children? You should exercise more often in the future."

Lin Shu glared at him silently. Why should I exercise when you are at home?

I can't practice during the day and at night. I am not tired?

Lu Shaotang rubbed her neck with his big hand.

Because the old doctor had not recovered yet and had a dry cough, he needed to rest more, so Chen Yanming asked him to share a room with Xiaozhuang and reminded him to take care of him at night and give him water.

Lin Shu thought that Hou Deming would come back and her brother-in-law would not leave yet, and she was afraid that her sister's place would not have enough room, so she asked Hou Ying to sleep here with Tiantian.

The air was crisp and the night was clear in the early winter night, and the sky was full of stars as bright as water.

Sister Lin and her family returned home under the starlight.

Hou Jianwen hugged Hou Wei, who was already asleep, and said to Hou Deming when he went upstairs: "Dad, my third aunt and her family are really good at taking care of us."

Hou Deming: "Yes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. If it weren't for this family of relatives, our family would have been very sad all these years."

Hou's mother said: "It's okay, relatives help each other."

Hou Deming didn't have the face to say that they help each other. They didn't help the Lin family much at the beginning.

When she got home, the Marquis took a look and found that her granddaughter had not come back. Four small beds and a large bed were enough for sleeping.

She asked Hou Deming in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft: "Doesn't your waist hurt? Can you sleep in such a small bed?"

Hou Deming: "Of course, this bed is not small. When I was working as a servant on the farm, the place I slept in was very small."

Sister Lin: "Mom and Dad, how about you sleep in the big bed, and the child's father and I sleep in the small bed outside."

Hou Deming: "No need!"

Hou Bo: "Grandpa, you sleep on the lower bed, and I will sleep on the upper bed."

Mother Hou didn't say anything, but helped Sister Lin make the bed for Hou Deming.

She said to Sister Lin: "Check your father's bedding to see if there are any lice or something, don't spread it to our family."

Sister Lin smiled and said: "The hospital disinfects all day, it's unlikely."

Mother Hou thought that Lao Shao was likely to have lice, and there was no insurance, so she opened it and looked for it.

Although she didn't find any lice, she was still worried, and she was afraid that there were nits or something.

Sister Lin: "It's okay. I'll take it apart and wash it in the next two days and put it out to dry."

The quilts that the parents-in-law used on the farm did need to be taken apart and washed. After all, the mother-in-law was not good at sewing, and they had not taken them apart and washed them in the past two years on the farm. And they couldn't take them apart and wash them after the last month.

Hou's mother: "When your father goes back to work, we'll make all new ones. Don't use these."

Although some of them were made by the daughter-in-law in the past two years, the dust in the countryside is particularly heavy, so it's more comfortable to change to new ones.

The children fell asleep soon after they went to bed, and Hou Deming and Hou Jianwen sat and talked for a while.

They mainly talked about the arrangements for Hou Deming after he resumed work.

Hou Deming stayed in the hospital with him these two days, and Hou Jianwen went to his original unit to help him with the procedures.

After returning, his salary and benefits will remain the same, and he will still live in the original small building. In addition, his salary for the past two years will also be reimbursed.

The year Hou Deming went to the farm, his salary had just increased to 278.5 yuan a month, which is a huge sum of money!

Hou's mother was in tears and sniffed, "We have finally come to a happy ending after all the hardships." She looked up at Hou Jianwen, "Jianwen, you should transfer your job back in the next two days and don't go to the countryside anymore. Your father and I are back, and we will need someone at home in the future." However,

Hou Jianwen didn't want to come back immediately, as his solar project had made significant progress.

He also wanted to consult his father and go to the machinery factory to get some suitable materials to continue to improve it, so that he could basically succeed when he returned.

"Mom, I'm almost done with this project. If I want to go back, it will be next year."

Hou's mother: "It's not long before the New Year. How hard it is to live in the countryside in the winter? Let's go back to the factory compound. The heating there is sufficient and it's warm."

The machinery factory and the ordnance factory have no shortage of materials, engineers, and workers. It is very convenient to heat the boiler in your unit. It is warmer than the Revolutionary Committee.

Sister Lin naturally supports her husband's career. She said: "Mom, his father is now leading people to improve agricultural machinery. In the past two years, he has made considerable progress. If he comes back, all the previous efforts will be wasted and no achievements will be recovered." It

is useless to tell Hou's mother that the farmers there are pitiful. She must talk about her son's loss.

Hou Jianwen: "Yes, we have improved the water wheel pump, water mill, wheat harvester, seed drill, and tiller. Now we are researching the solar stove. As long as we succeed in researching it, we can solve more than half of the fuel problem in those poor areas."

Hou's mother didn't agree. She didn't understand it and didn't have any sense of mission. She just thought her son was sacrificing his family for others.

Hou Deming: "Don't interfere with your work. I think this is very meaningful. You should do it well."

Hou Jianwen nodded and said happily: "Thank you, Dad!"

He took out his design draft and notebook and asked Hou Deming for advice, "Dad, although we have successfully made two types, the cost is too high and it is meaningless. It must be cheap, easy to use, and safe."

Hou Deming was interested and started chatting with his son in the restaurant.

Mother Hou: "It's getting late, go to bed."

Sister Lin whispered: "Mom, let's go to the inner room to sleep, and let my dad and Jianwen sleep outside."

When Mother Hou heard this, she went to sleep in the inner room with her daughter-in-law.

She felt sore from sleeping in the small bed, and the big bed was more comfortable.

The next day, Hou Jianwen accompanied his parents to move to the arsenal, and Tiantian was in charge of giving Doctor Shao an IV.

Lin Shu invited the old man upstairs and let him lie on the bed in the dining room to get an IV, so that she could take care of him in the room.

Doctor Shao was embarrassed and wanted to sleep in the children's room.

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Grandpa, according to my age, I should call you grandpa. Why are you being so polite? It's nothing to worry about."

The children also agreed with Lin Shu.

Doctor Shao felt warm and sad in his heart, and finally he didn't refuse. Tiantian's

injection was fast and accurate, and she didn't feel anything. She took advantage of people's carelessness to insert the needle.

Grandpa Shao sighed, "People are really different. Some people are just gifted in certain aspects."

Panpan considerately covered the old man with a quilt, took the radio over, and put a previously copied program list next to it, so that the old man could tune in according to the time.

Grandpa Shao didn't say anything, but he was very moved in his heart, and his eyes were sore.

Panpan smiled at him and said, "Master Shao, this is what we call 'the old man values ​​​​dependence and treats with compassion'. We want to impress you and teach us medical skills."

Tiantian tilted her head to look at Panpan, then turned to Doctor Shao and said, "Grandpa Shao, don't listen to his nonsense. Even if you don't teach us, we will take good care of you for the sake of Grandpa Hou."

Doctor Shao laughed, "I know, Panpan is just making me laugh."

This kid is very thoughtful.

Soon, the sound of children gathering came from below.

The three children grabbed their schoolbags, said goodbye to Lin Shu and Grandpa Shao, and ran away.

The old man lay on the bed, his eyes swept around, and he saw that in addition to some propaganda posters on the wall, there were also paintings he had drawn. There were

two one-foot-long fine brush paintings, the flowers and birds were painted very vividly, and there were also some more immature children's paintings, which were obviously the children's practice works. In addition, there are some calligraphy.

The words "Be indifferent to fame and wealth, be calm and peaceful" are actually together with "Attract wealth and treasure", and they are in the same handwriting and font, which is also interesting. In addition, there are several photo frames of different sizes, with many photos inlaid and inserted on them. Although there are many paintings and photo frames, it should be a bit messy, but they are hung very harmoniously, with different heights and sizes, which is quite beautiful. He was fascinated by it for a while, and felt very peaceful in peace and quiet. He didn't even need to listen to the radio or read books to pass the time. After all, at this age, his presbyopia is severe, and he doesn't like reading very much. Lin Shu brought some boiled and fried five-spice melon seeds and peanuts, and there were also hawthorn biscuits and hawthorn cakes made by herself, which were mixed to help digestion. Doctor Shao: "My dear, are you busy?" Lin Shu smiled and said: "No, I am thinking of making some snacks for everyone. Yam cakes and glutinous rice dumplings with date paste and red bean fillings. Do you like them?" Doctor Shao: "I like them all. I am not picky." It's just that I am old and can't eat well. Many things don't taste as sweet as when I was young. Lin Shu thought of adding more sugar to the red bean paste filling. Children will also like it if it is sweet. The glutinous rice dumplings can be made with brown sugar. After a while, Sister Lin came to help take care of the old man. She saw that Lin Shu wanted to make snacks and helped. Lin Shu: "Sister, you take care of your own sketches first, I'm just free and want to make some snacks." Sister Lin: "No problem, I've been drawing for half the morning, let's take a break." The old man is old, Tiantian turned the infusion regulating pump to a low flow rate, so that it would not cause adverse cardiac reactions due to too much cold liquid infusion in a short time. However, the amount of infusion was reduced by half compared to the previous three days, so it was finished before noon. The children had sweet snacks to eat as soon as they got home at noon, and they were very happy. Hou Bo teased Pan Pan, "Why don't you sell the snacks?" Pan Pan said, "This is not the candied haws that we can't finish, this is the snacks my mother made, I can't buy them with my money, how can I bear to give them away?" He would only sell the things that he couldn't finish or didn't need at home, and he wouldn't give away the things that he needed. Mr. Shao really liked the yam cake with jujube paste and red bean paste. Panpan: "Grandpa Shao, when you go to the hospital to work later, we will send you some delicious food." Grandpa Shao stretched out his little finger to tease him, "You can't let me go." He said to Lin Shu, "I remember there are a few books on medicinal diet. If they are returned later, I will give them to you. Some of them are quite good." Lin Shu did not refuse. Recipes should be shared to play the greatest role. She smiled and thanked him, "Thank you very much, old man. I will cook for you when I learn it." In the afternoon, Director Sun, Yan Zhendong, the president and director of the People's Hospital and others came to visit Grandpa Shao with generous gifts. Director Sun and Yan Zhendong were the ones in charge of arranging work for Mr. Shao, after all, it was related to teaching and the hospital. They asked Mr. Shao for his opinion, whether he wanted to live in the hospital family building or the medical school faculty and staff family building. Mr. Shao didn't think twice: "I'll live in the family building here." He wanted to be closer to the children. Director Sun and Yan Zhendong looked at each other. This place was not far from the hospital. He could take the bus or walk. Although it was far from the medical school, he didn't need to go to the medical school to teach. He could just teach the students in the hospital, which would save Mr. Shao's time and save him from the trouble. The hospital director said, "Old sir, if you live in our hospital, we can rent you a small building, and we can also arrange two nannies to take care of you." Doctor Shao said, "I was working in the farm a few days ago, where do I need someone to take care of me? Just give me a room here." Director Sun said, "It must be bigger, at least a three-bedroom apartment." After all, there will be many visitors and students coming to study at home, so a small room is not suitable. Doctor Shao agreed. The hospital director excitedly shook the old man's hand, "Old sir, I am willing to give up my position and let the position of director..." "Forget it!" Old Doctor Shao immediately refused, "How old am I, and I still want you to be the director? Isn't this bullying the old man?" Everyone laughed and said that they would trouble the old man to help train new talents and dare not let him suffer too much. So it was settled. Director Sun and several others said that they would go back to arrange housing for him and return the Shao family's previous belongings, mainly books, furniture, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, etc. Of course, the intact ones will be returned, and the lost and damaged ones will be regarded as gone. In addition, the salary and benefits of the past few years will be calculated and given to him. When the children returned home and knew about this, they were also very happy for Grandpa Shao. Hou Wei asked casually, "Grandpa Shao, how much do you make?" He knew that Grandpa's salary was very high, which made his friends and parents jealous. Old Doctor Shao thought for a moment and said, "My salary peaked when I was sent down to the countryside. It won't go up anymore. It's 322 a month, right?" "Huh?" The children opened their mouths at the same time. 322!!! You're kidding, right? They had never heard of such a high salary.

The country folks tried their best to join the factory, but they only got 16 yuan in the first year!

Not even a fraction!

When they looked at Dr. Shao again, he was no longer just an old man, but more like the God of Wealth hidden by their great-grandmother!
