Chapter 296 Extra Three Years Later

Lujiazhuang Brigade.

These days, the loudspeaker has been shouting three meals a day, "All children under the age of 14 in this brigade should be ready. When the brigade notifies you to get a collective vaccination, those who are not at home should be notified and called back immediately! All students studying in the Lujiazhuang Brigade Primary School can also participate in the collective vaccination!"

"I'll say it again, the brigade is organizing a collective vaccination, all members..."

The primary school is right next to the brigade, and the teachers and students' ears are buzzing from the loudspeaker.

Wang Lijuan packed up her lesson plan and said with a smile, "I heard that the vaccinations were purchased by Lu Pan and Lu Tian through donations. After the vaccinations, students should write a thank you letter to them to let them know how grateful we are."

Hu Zi cooperated and shouted, "Yes! Pan Pan and Tian Tian have donated pencils, notebooks, extracurricular books and so on to our school."

Every year when they go home for the Chinese New Year, Pan Pan and Tian Tian will bring something to Lu Jia Zhuang Primary School, sometimes extracurricular books and sometimes teaching tools.

The two teaching globes in their school were donated by Pan Pan and Tian Tian during the Chinese New Year!

Now the conditions in Lu Jia Zhuang Brigade are good, and girls who originally had no chance of going to school have been persuaded by the brigade cadres to let their parents go to school. Even if they don't go to junior high school or take the high school entrance exam, at least they can finish primary school, right?

If girls don't study, they can only do rough labor at home. If they want to work in the brigade factory, they must at least graduate from primary school. So now all girls in Lujiazhuang Brigade can study.

Huahua, Honghong, Juanjuan and others are also here.

They are Panpan's loyal followers. Although they can't play with Panpan now, Panpan has not forgotten them. Every year when he comes back, he gives them gifts. They

each have a high-end pencil case bought in the city, and a set of triangles and other tools bought in the city.

Originally, if the teacher didn't say it, they would say everywhere that it was Panpan Tiantian who donated money to buy vaccinations for everyone. Now that the teacher has said it, they will make up for it, for fear that someone else doesn't know.

Other students also talked about their friendship with Panpan Tiantian. Everyone was proud to have a friendship with a famous person. Now Panpan Tiantian is a celebrity among elementary school students.

"Chang Xiaogang can't get the vaccination, right?"

Huahua: "He definitely can't get it! This guy is so unkind. He has measles and is still wandering around, trying to infect us. Fortunately, the doctor found something wrong and sent him home."

Chang Xiaogang had measles and originally asked for leave to stay at home, but I don't know if he was bored at home or what, he insisted on coming to school to hang around.

Zhang Peijin clearly told him that measles is contagious and asked him to wait for him at home to get the injection and come out after he recovered, but he still ran to school to hang around.

Why do you say you don't want to miss classes? What are you pretending for!

The little lady army doesn't believe it!

Two days later, the county hospital sent a car with a refrigerated box to deliver several boxes of vaccines to the health center of Fendou Commune, and the barefoot doctors from each brigade had been on standby at the commune early in the morning.

They rode bicycles and carried refrigerated bags, which were specially issued by the superior hospital to barefoot doctors to store special medicines.

Because it was hot, in order to prevent the refrigerated bags from being out of date, the county hospital also provided an ice cream box with ice inside, and then put the refrigerated bags containing vaccines inside and covered them with a small quilt, and then let the barefoot doctors take an ice cream box back to the brigade.

In the first two years when Zhang Peijin worked as a barefoot doctor, he was ignored or looked down upon in both the county hospital and the commune health center. After all, he had no skills and only knew the three tricks of a barefoot doctor.

Later, many people who followed Old Man Lu wanted to make fun of him, thinking that he would soon be fired and go home to farm. But Doctor Lu took him to learn things.

Now that Doctor Lu is not at home, Zhang Peijin can also take charge of the infirmary of Lujiazhuang Brigade.

Of course, he does not have the medical skills of Doctor Lu. At most, he can give people injections and prescribe medicine according to what Doctor Lu taught before. It is impossible to ask him to treat serious illnesses.

Serious illnesses must go to the commune or county hospital, right?

So now he is doing well.

Today, when they came to get the vaccines, everyone was so enthusiastic about him, asking him one after another: "When will Doctor Lu come back?"

"Have Panpan and Tiantian written back? Will they come back by the end of the year?"

"These two children have been educated so well, they have not forgotten their parents even though they have become rich!"

"We are in the same commune with them, so we are all benefiting from it!"

At that time, the vaccination rate was very low. First, there were not enough vaccines, and second, most vaccines had to be paid for by the members themselves, and the members were reluctant to spend money.

But the number of vaccines the children received was directly linked to the work performance of the barefoot doctor. In the past, they had given up this part, but this year they were going to get a share of the credit for free.

The parents of the two children were capable and had a wide network of contacts, so they bought a lot of vaccines for them. In addition to the smallpox vaccine and sugar pills that the country children received on a regular basis, there were also measles vaccine, whooping cough vaccine, and BCG vaccine.

The incidence of whooping cough is still very high for children under the age of seven or eight. Although the incidence of tuberculosis is not very high, the mortality rate is high. The incidence of measles is also high. In addition, many children died of hepatitis, pneumonia, and meningitis.

Now Panpan Tiantian has bought some vaccines on the market for her hometown through the relationship of the eldest brother of the Gu family.

Common vaccines can be vaccinated for more children, and rare and expensive vaccines can only be provided for newborns or children under three years old.

Because Lujiazhuang Brigade is Panpan Tiantian's home, it naturally has more vaccines, so the brigade organizes those under 14 years old, and other brigades can only organize those under 10 years old.

The barefoot doctor of the commune brigade took the vaccines back, and the eligible children have lined up according to age groups waiting for vaccination.

Mother Jing also led her grandson and granddaughter to line up there, and said happily to others: "Lu Pan and Lu Tian promoted by the brigade are our in-laws' children. The child of our third aunt Caixian is very promising. Such a young child is learning to be a doctor."

"Yes, he can treat patients and take pulses. He is learning medical skills from old Chinese medicine practitioners in big cities."

An old woman next to her couldn't stop wiping away tears while holding her eight-month-old grandson, "That's great. Now we can give our grandson the anti-tuberculosis vaccination."

Her first grandson got tuberculosis when he was seven years old. No one knew anything at the time, and the barefoot doctor did not have much experience, so he treated it as bronchitis. As a result, the treatment did not work and the disease was delayed, and the grandson finally coughed up blood.

The family panicked and sent the child to the county hospital, where it was diagnosed as tuberculosis.

Mother Jing patted her arm and comforted her, "It's fine now. The child will be fine after the BCG vaccine. Panpan, Tiantian and their brothers and sisters all have BCG scars on their arms. The doctor in the army was wise enough to spend money on the child. He took the child to the county hospital for the vaccine."

At Linjiatun Brigade, Lin's mother also led Bao'er's sister to line up for vaccinations, while Bao'er was vaccinated at school.

Aunt Lin and Aunt Li also brought their grandchildren to line up.

Zhou's mother said with emotion, "Since I was young, I have seen Panpan as sweet and smart, not an ordinary child, but I never thought they would be so capable. You say, they are all the same children, we also came here when we were children, what are we doing when we are this age?"

Although Lin's mother felt sorry for the children at first for taking out all their own money to buy vaccines for others, she was so flattered that she didn't care about the pain and was proud of the children.

Aunt Lin felt sorry for them, "These two children, when they were young, Panpan seemed to be very frugal," even a little stingy, "How come they are so generous now that they are older?" A little too generous.

How much money does this cost?!

Lin's mother whispered, "It's not all the children's money. Where can they get so much money? It's collected from donations."

Zhou's mother: "What is collection?"

Lin's mother didn't really understand, but the children had explained, "It's to get others to donate together."

Zhou's mother immediately said generously, "Collecting is good. No one has to pay for it. So, if you don't collect money, I'll donate too. I don't have much, but I can't afford to donate three or five cents."

Now there are side jobs in the brigade, and they all make money.

For several days, all the brigades in Fendou Commune were busy vaccinating the children.

Afterwards, the primary school teachers organized their students to collectively write thank-you letters to Lu Pan and Lu Tian. Some of them, who were good at writing and had great ambitions, even wrote directly to the county or city magazines and magazines they knew, expressing their gratitude and saying that they would learn this Lei Feng spirit. Among them,

some teachers and students wrote thank-you letters to the editorial department of "Stories of the People".

Soon, newspapers in Rongcheng and Qizhou reported the deeds of raising funds for vaccines, and also published some thank-you letters from teachers and students.

After seeing the report, some people who were curious about the matter had the first reaction: The parents of the children here are too hypocritical. They are trying to create momentum and fame for their children. This is a big plot!

As a result, before they could figure out how to write an article to attack, someone soon followed suit and also followed Lei Feng's baton to buy vaccines for rural children.

Some middle school and primary school students also raised funds under the organization of their teachers, and then contacted pharmaceutical manufacturers to send love to the rural brigades.

Those who wanted to attack Lu Pan and Lu Tian for their favor looked at the articles they wrote, as if they were slapping themselves in the face, and silently tore them up as if nothing had happened.

Pan Pan and Tian Tian did not think that this was their credit, and they never thought about taking the lead, they just thought about what they wanted to do.

Once it was done, it was over, and they moved on to the next thing.

As for others following suit, they thought it was the spirit of Lei Feng.

In this era, everyone is learning from Lei Feng.

Being willing to learn from them shows that those people are also willing to help.

In the fall, they will enter junior high school, and Panpan and Tiantian have more homework.

For them, school courses are not difficult at all. The key is that they add courses for themselves.

In addition to school courses, learning Chinese medicine with Dr. Shao and others, and learning German with the eldest brother of the Gu family, Tiantian has added some surgical courses.

The courses are arranged by Dr. Gu, who is a professor at Capital Medical University. As long as he goes to the medical university to teach, Tiantian will go to the class, including the anatomy class.

Panpan asked the eldest brother of the Gu family to help him invite a teacher to teach mathematics, physics and chemistry, because his future development direction is pharmacy, which requires in-depth study of chemistry, and he is also interested in physics and mathematics, so naturally he wants to learn them.

With the addition of new courses, they naturally cannot go to school every day.

Therefore, after entering junior high school, Panpan and Tiantian did not need Lu Shaotang and Lin Shu to intervene. They went to the junior high school academic director and class teacher to apply for their own study time. They did not need to go to school every day, but they would guarantee to take the final exam and get excellent grades.

If they were naughty students, the school would naturally not agree. However, the school would naturally agree to these two excellent self-disciplined and proactive students. They would only feel sorry for them for working so hard at such a young age, and they were afraid that they would be exhausted, and they had to repeatedly remind them to combine work and rest, and that learning is endless.

Since then, the two children have been swimming in the ocean of knowledge, and they are busy like a top every day.

In the words of Fang's grandmother, "I haven't seen Panpan and Tiantian for a few days? Hey, these two children, apart from eating and sleeping, they study, they are busier than their parents."

Other children look forward to weekends and holidays all day long, so that they can play happily, but they feel that time is not enough all day long. They want to learn this and that, and wish that one day can be used as several days.

In order to prevent myopia, Tiantian gave Panpan an injection as soon as they met, and she also injected herself in front of the mirror, which scared Fang's grandmother and Fang Dihua.

You read too much and become myopic, what's the point of your injection?

Not to mention their own family members, even the eldest brother of the Gu family felt sorry for them, especially Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, who kept telling him to take good care of the children, to bring delicious food with them, and to feed the two children whenever they saw them.

They always felt that the two children had lost weight, and the weight they had just grown was gone, and their chins were getting more and more pointed.

Grandpa Gu and Doctor Shao discussed making a special Eight Treasures Paste for Panpan and Tiantian that was tailored to their constitutions, and asked them to drink a few spoonfuls of it in the morning and evening to replenish their qi and blood, nourish their essence, calm their nerves and help them sleep, so that they could better repair their damaged brains during sleep.

Three years passed in a blink of an eye in the busy days.

Summer of 1981.

Today is Sunday, and Lin Shu had a rest and slept soundly with satisfaction.

Since moving into the government compound, there is no wake-up call here, so Lin Shu has a particularly good sleep in the morning.

In the first month of 1979, Lu Shaotang and Chen Yanming led the team to participate in the southern border counterattack. After returning, they were promoted and moved out of the military compound. The whole family moved into the government compound in the capital.

The family building here was newly built at the end of last year, and we just moved in this spring.

Lin Shu contributed to the design of this family building. When she first knew that the family compound was going to be built in the capital, she put forward her own suggestions through the art architect she knew.

She felt that the new era of family housing should abandon the Suzhou-style tube-shaped building style. The tube-shaped building with shared water and toilets and no kitchen, where people could only cook in narrow corridors, was too inconvenient.

It was not in line with the level of a government family compound, right?

She suggested that every household should have an independent bathroom and kitchen, and the area could be divided into large and small suites.

Anyway, the rooms were allocated according to the age and level of work.

Lu Shaotang got a four-bedroom apartment with a bathroom and kitchen, and Chen Yanming got a three-bedroom apartment.

Originally, Father Lu and Fang Dihua wanted to take Grandma Fang back to their hometown, but Lin Shu naturally refused. They could live back and forth between their hometown and the capital, but they couldn't just go back to their hometown and never come back.

She knew that Lu Shaotang had been away from his parents when he was a child, and now he hoped that his parents could be around.

Even if he wouldn't stick to his parents, as long as his parents lived here and he was raising them, he would feel at ease.

And Grandma couldn't bear to leave Panpan and Tiantian, so it was naturally better for them to live here.

Originally, Lin Shu's unit could also be divided into rooms, but the couple could only divide one house, so of course whoever had the bigger house would live in it.

Because Fang Dihua was the daughter of Chen Yanming's family, Fang Dihua and Grandma Fang usually lived on his side, anyway, the two families lived on the same floor.

She got up slowly, combed her hair and went to the bathroom to wash up, only to find Panpan and Tiantian sitting in the living room talking.

She thought she was dazzled. These two children usually disappeared, why were they sitting at home today?

The body that had walked into the bathroom slowly came back, and Lin Shu tilted her head to look over, "Daughter, son?"

The two responded, "Mom, we have something to discuss with you."

Lin Shu: "I'll brush my teeth, it'll be quick."

Five minutes later, she washed up and changed her clothes and came out, "Did you go for morning exercise with Dad this morning?"

Since the two went to college to take classes, they often lived in schools, guest houses, hospitals, and pharmaceutical factories. They went home to stay for one or two nights a week at most, and that was to satisfy their great-grandmother and grandpa's desire to see them.

They and Lu Shaotang developed a habit of not neglecting to exercise no matter how busy they were, so morning exercises were retained.

Lin Shu sat at the dining table, "Have you two... eaten?"

Panpan stretched out her wrist to show her the time, "Mom, it's half past eight."

Tiantian ran to the kitchen and brought breakfast out of the pot for Lin Shu. Now that life is better, their family meals are similar to the past.

Millet porridge, boiled eggs, vegetable and meat buns, and so on.

Lin Shu hugged the fragrant and soft lady, "Thank you for the little cotton jacket."

Then she gave Panpan a gloomy look. As expected, her son became less considerate and unlovable when he grew up, woo woo.

Panpan was so considerate when she was little, just like a little cotton-padded jacket. Now... she's a grown-up. She's almost 1.80 meters tall at the age of 15!

She hopes Panpan won't grow any taller, but she estimates that he will definitely be over 1.80 meters tall. Just

don't be over 1.9 meters tall!

She drank a mouthful of porridge, started eating buns again, and then looked at her son and daughter, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Panpan helped her peel the eggs and put them on the plate, "Mom, you eat first."

Lin Shu: "It's okay, tell me."

Panpan: "Mom, your irregular diet is not good for your health. Not eating breakfast can easily cause gallstones. Going to bed late and getting up late will increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease after the age of 50..."

"Stop!" Lin Shu's eyes widened, "I'm still young, I won't have Alzheimer's disease!" I'll

talk about it when I'm old!

Mom, when she was little, she didn't nag her children to go to bed early and get up early, and eat regularly, but now she is being nagged by her children to go to bed early and get up early, and eat regularly.

It's terrible!

She thinks Panpan is a little serious now, and she doesn't know if studying has made him crazy.

Panpan looked at her expression and was a little overwhelmed, but Tiantian squeezed her eyes at him, making him restrained.

Mom is able to let herself go now. She always sleeps until noon on weekends and eats breakfast and lunch together. Dad is used to her and never forces her to get up for breakfast.

If this continues, her health will definitely be bad. As a doctor, I can't turn a blind eye and must correct her.

Lin Shu felt a little uncomfortable when the two children stared at her while eating, so she let them eat together.

Fifteen-year-old children now have a fast metabolism. They get hungry soon after eating and can eat five or six meals a day.

For example, Panpan can eat ten big buns in one meal now!

Scary, right?

Lu Shaotang said it was nothing, he ate more back then.

The parents-in-law also said it was nothing, it was normal.

This is the age when the teenager eats up his parents.

Lin Shu ate an egg, a bowl of millet porridge, and a vegetable bun and was full.

Then Panpan ate four buns, and Tiantian also ate two.

Lin Shu: "..."

Didn't you two just have breakfast?

After dinner, Panpan took away the dishes and washed them, wiped the table clean, and made scented tea for Lin Shu before sitting down to talk about business.

Lin Shu: “…”

Unconsciously, the daughter and son are more clean than her.

They are worthy of being a medical student.

She felt like she hadn’t taken a good look at the two children for a long time, and couldn’t help looking at this and that. She felt that Panpan was more and more like Lu Shaotang when he was young. Well, there are still differences in temperament. Lu Shaotang is more stern, and Panpan has a temperament that is a blend of dignity and bookishness.

It makes people feel that this child is quite noble at first glance.

Tiantian is the same. When she sits there, people will think at first glance, whose little princess is this?

But when she shows her slender but muscular arms, they won’t think so.

Tiantian leaned on Lin Shu, hugged her and said coquettishly, "Mom, did you miss me?"

Lin Shu tilted her head and snuggled with her daughter, smiling, "I dreamed of you when you were little a few days ago."

Maybe because the children are older, she is a little worried and anxious in her subconscious, and she dreams of the scenes in the original plot. She dreams that the two children are missing, and she is anxious to find them everywhere but can't find them. Or she dreams that they are bullied and framed, crying and calling for their mother. She wants to rush over to protect them but can't. She is so anxious that she kicks her legs and wakes Lu Shaotang up.

Panpan: "Mom, we want to take the college entrance examination this year."

Lin Shu: "Yeah."

What?

She looked at Panpan and Tiantian, "You two want to take the college entrance examination this year?"

They nodded.

Tiantian said: "Mom, we are sure, and the teacher won't stop us."

Lin Shu embraced Tiantian and touched her hair which was no longer as soft as when she was a child. In order to facilitate study, Tiantian never grew her hair long, but tied it into a ponytail just below her shoulders.

She felt a little reluctant, "You are already tired enough from studying, will it be more tiring to take the college entrance examination now? In fact, I think life is very long, we just need to take it slowly, there is no need to be so anxious."

Panpan: "Mom, we are not in a hurry, this is our speed."

At the age of thirst for knowledge, if they cannot feed themselves, they will feel very empty.

When the desire for knowledge slowly subsides, they will return to normal.

The teacher and classmates always say that they are geniuses, but he thinks that they are not geniuses, they just have too much physical strength and energy. They

feel satisfied only when they study.

Lin Shu: "That's fine, since you two have learned almost everything, it will be easy to get into a medical university."

They usually study at the medical university and audit many of the teachers' classes, so the exams are not difficult for them.

She just thinks that after they are admitted, there will be too many courses in the university, which will increase their study burden.

Who knows Panpan said: "We don't want to take the entrance exam to the Medical University, we want to take the entrance exam to Capital University first." "Ah?" Lin Shu was surprised, "Why?" Tiantian

smiled and said: "Mom, we can go to the Medical University to study normally. We know the best teachers and doctors in the Medical University. It doesn't matter whether we take the entrance exam or not. We can also take the entrance exam after we finish studying at Capital University. Anyway, taking the entrance exam to the Medical University is just a diploma for us."

Lin Shu: "Then... what majors do you want to take?"

Panpan: "I'm taking the chemistry major, and Tiantian is taking the foreign language translation major."

Lin Shu understood.

The two children have been studying medicine since childhood, and they are studying with famous doctors. Their current level may be higher than that of some teachers.

Panpan is very interested in chemical pharmaceuticals. Many drugs are extracted using chemical formulas.

They will go abroad for further studies and take some courses abroad, so they must learn foreign languages.

They are good at English and German now, so it will be easy for them to take the foreign language exam. It will also be easier for them to study in the future without delaying their medical courses.

Lin Shu didn't know what else to say to the two children. They have a strong learning ability. They are not only good at learning knowledge, but also very good at learning the

ways of the world. Many people have high IQs and low EQs, but they are not low at all. They can learn the principles of being a person by following others in daily life.

In the past two years, they have come into contact with the leaders of the military region, Mr. Gu, the factory director, the doctor, and all kinds of people in the agency, and the influence on them is subtle.

They learn what they need from everyone they meet.

Oh, by the way, they had gone to Master Lin’s shop before, helped them repair the oven, and also designed the small motor and parts for the electric egg beater and sent them to Hou Jianwen.

Hou Jianwen and his team members were inspired by the design drawing and tried to produce an improved version of the finished product.

Now domestically produced household electric mixers, egg beaters, and meat grinders have entered the kitchens of major state-owned stores, snack shops, and state-owned hotels.

For this, Panpan and Tiantian earned more than 680 yuan in design fees.

Now it is more convenient and quick for Master Lin and his team to make cream snacks, and the snacks are getting more and more delicious.

Lin Shu thought about the puffs with a crispy and fragrant crust and a soft and sweet inside.

Panpan: "Mom?"

Lin Shu: "I'm listening, you're notifying me."

What do you mean by "Mom, we have something to discuss with you?" You've already decided to notify me.

Tiantian laughed, "Mom, do you want to eat cream cake?"

Lin Shu's eyes lit up, "It's really Mom's little cotton-padded jacket."

Panpan stood up, "Let's go, I'll treat you to a snack, and we'll go to Dad to have lunch at noon."

Lu Shaotang was promoted and his work became busier. He also had to attend a small meeting with his superiors on Sundays.

Zhan Qiuran also worked overtime. Surgeons are really busy and never stop working, especially now in 1981. After the reform and opening up, the market began to open up, and social security was much more chaotic. There were more stalls and more fights.

For a while, the hospital was seeing people with open heads, broken arms and legs, and even people with knives on their heads.

Lu Shaotang and his team went to the meeting for this matter. They planned to formulate a new charter to strictly enforce the capital's public security, and promote it nationwide after it is effective.
