Chapter 35 The Third Joy

The fact is that Lin Shu is not only not miserable, she is quite comfortable.

She handed the remittance list to Fang Dihua, "Mom, look, this is what his father's comrade-in-arms just collected."

Fang Dihua excitedly took the remittance list when she heard that it was San'er's comrade-in-arms. She was a little presbyopic, so she put the remittance list a little further away and squinted her eyes to look at it.

"Chen Yanming! Ah, this Yanming is San'er's good comrade-in-arms! They were in the same military academy, slept in the same dormitory, and even fought. Well, he can't beat your man." Fang Dihua rarely showed a happy smile, and spoke in a crackling voice, saying a lot about Chen Yanming and Lu Shaotang in one breath.

As she spoke, she took out Lu Shaotang's military uniform photo from the photo frame in the east room.

This photo was taken when Lu Shaotang was promoted to an officer at the age of 18. The man was tall and handsome. The black and white photo took away his youthfulness, making him look particularly cold and sharp.

This is a very handsome and charming man.

Lin Shu found Fang Dihua's words interesting, and she felt a little torn when looking at the dignified and arrogant man in the photo. Could this... seemingly very cold military officer be the... naughty child in her mother-in-law's words?

Unconsciously, she felt a little hot in the face when staring at Lu Shaotang's photo, and then she shuddered, and a little sadness surged in her heart.

But he is already dead, and he was killed by the author at the beginning of this book.

She can't know too much about him. What if she hears too many stories about him and accidentally falls in love with him?

Is there anything more stupid than falling in love with a man you know is dead?

Lin Shu, you must stay awake!

Lin Shu came back to her senses instantly.

Fang Dihua was still happily stroking the remittance list, reading the contents word by word, talking about San'er, and tears flowed out when she was excited.

Lin Shu hurriedly took a handkerchief to her. Fang

Dihua wiped her tears with her sleeve, "It's okay, I'm happy."

San'er was telling her in this way that he was still alive and let them rest assured!

Didn't you see that Chen Yanming didn't call her "Auntie" or "Auntie" in the remittance note, but "Mother"?

Oh, that's great!

A heart finally settled.

Before, I couldn't help but have doubts while worshipping Ma Shenxian, but I was afraid that it wouldn't work if I was not sincere, so I didn't dare to doubt it seriously.

Now, I believe it completely!

From now on, I must worship three times in the morning, noon and evening. No, I must recite the scriptures silently when I have time!

San'er sent back another month's salary. Oh, do I have to return the 800 yuan pension to the government?

Fortunately, I didn't touch the money. I will return it directly when they ask for it.

Even if I don't touch the money, my family will be well-off with San'er's money.

Fang Dihua opened the locked drawer and took out five yuan for Lin Shu, "Buy whatever you want."

Lin Shu was not polite and took it, "Thank you, mother."

Fang Dihua: "If you need money, just tell me, and of course your husband will give you money to spend."

In the past, the third daughter-in-law had money and was coaxed away by others, so she naturally did not dare to give it. Now not only is she not coaxed, but she also coaxes her family, so she is naturally not stingy anymore. Next

time I go to the county, I will buy candy for the third daughter-in-law.

She put the remittance slip first, went back to the commune to get money, and admired the rectangular award certificate.

There is nothing special about the award certificate, there are also at home, she and Lu Laodi and Lu Shaotang have all issued award certificates, but this one has a different meaning.

This was earned by her San'er's wife and two sons!

Her San'er's wife is becoming more and more successful, and is becoming a perfect match for San'er. San'er will be happy when he knows this.

The young couple will be very harmonious by then.

Fang Dihua suddenly turned into a cheerful old lady, completely different from her previous stern and serious appearance. She was as happy as when San'er came home for the New Year.

She wanted to find a photo frame to mount the award certificate to prevent it from turning black due to smoke and fire.

However, there was no glass at home, so she went back to the commune to cut a piece.

Tiantian and Panpan ran home together, "Grandma, grandma! I told you, did you hear me?"

Fang Dihua said happily, "I heard it, I heard it, what are you talking about?"

She heard it before she even said a word.

The two kids clung to Fang Dihua's arms, and one of them was lifted up by her grandmother, and whispered in her ear, "My dad has come back with money."

Fang Dihua also smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, but if people ask, they will say it was collected by my comrade-in-arms uncle."

Panpan immediately waved his little hands and whispered, "Can't tell, can't tell!"

Lest someone come to borrow money and take advantage!

He also pointed to Zhao Meifeng's house next door.

Fang Dihua laughed and took the two children to get more peaches.

Since she scolded him, Big Brother Lu didn't dare to steal peaches anymore, so the peaches can ripen well.

In the past few days, she has been picking ripe ones to give to the children.

In two days, it is estimated that a large number of them will be ripe at once, and they can all be picked and shared.

Lin Shu finished cooking, cleaned up, and took out the new shoes for Fang Dihua, "Mom, try them on and see if they fit you?"

Fang Dihua looked at the big shoes and was stunned for a moment, "Let me try them on?"

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Yes, this is what my second sister-in-law and I gave to you as a gift."

Fang Dihua laughed. How come this third daughter-in-law is becoming more and more like the third son when he was a child, a little naughty.

If she puts on these shoes, the second daughter-in-law would not dare to accept them, but she would definitely be angry and make trouble.

Fang Dihua is not afraid of her daughter-in-law making trouble, but she doesn't want to make trouble too badly and make people laugh at her. It's better to live a stable life.

She asked, "How are you going to deal with your second sister-in-law?"

Lin Shu smiled and said, "The eldest sister-in-law gave me so much cloth, I can make a pair for the second sister-in-law."

She would not say that she would not make it for the second sister-in-law, but when it would be done depended on her mood? On the performance of the second sister-in-law?

If the second sister-in-law was gloomy and annoying her all day long, she would not make it for her.

If she had any good points like the eldest sister-in-law, Lin Shu would not bother with her.

Fang Dihua said nothing, she put on the new shoes and walked around. The third daughter-in-law's craftsmanship was really good. Wow, they fit her feet well and looked good.

Look at the stitches, fine and beautiful, not irritating at all, unlike the needlework of the old family, which was thick and looked irritating.

Fang Dihua, who was so low-key and pragmatic, wanted to wear these shoes out for the old ladies to see and let them be envious.

She walked around the hall twice, and finally took off her shoes carefully, shaking off the dust on the soles. "I'll wear them when I go to the post office to get money."

Lin Shu: "I'll wear them when I go to the hospital for a follow-up check next time."

Fang Dihua has been using eye ointment, washing her eyes, taking anti-inflammatory drugs, and having acupuncture from Father Lu. Her left eye is much more comfortable than before, so she is no longer opposed to going to the hospital for a follow-up check and surgery.

Who would rather suffer than cure the disease? Isn't it because they are afraid that it won't be cured and they'll waste money? Of course they'll be happy if it works.

Lin Shu went to pick a few peaches, washed them, put them in a small basket for rice, and asked Fang Dihua to take them to the family members who were working.

She put a few more in the pot, and asked Fang Dihua to share them with people she was close to.

Fang Dihua: "Eat as much as you want at home, don't save."

As for the three trees, they would be ripe and uneaten by then, just right for the three daughters-in-law to take as gifts when they return to their parents' homes.

It's respectable and delicious.

Most of the members were happy about the Lu family being praised by the Public Security Bureau and the commune. Jin Ping'er, Mrs. Qiu, Aunt Li, Mrs. Wang and others even felt honored, as if they were being praised.

Of course, there were also people who were unhappy, and the most unhappy were the old Chang family.

In the evening, when the old Chang came home, the old woman started to nag him.

"Tell me, what's the reason? Our Gangzi is suffering, how can we benefit them?"

"His charming young wife has been exposed. I heard that she was even in the newspaper."

"It seems that a policeman has a camera hanging on his head to take pictures of them."

She asked Lao Changtou to ask the brigade what was going on and why they didn't send any comfort items to Gangzi.

Lao Changtou was nagged by her and felt that this was a big deal, so he went to the brigade to find the brigade leader.

The brigade headquarters was located in the blue brick house behind Lujiazhuang, which was not together with the production team headquarters.

Next to the brigade headquarters was the primary school, and a little behind was the Houtun production team.

The house was very big, and the barefoot doctor's infirmary was also here.

Old Changtou went to see his nephew first and got some painkillers from him.

Ever since his eldest daughter-in-law was beaten by Fang Dihua and Xiaogang was stolen, his teeth have been inflamed and hurt badly.

The pills cost less than ten cents, but his nephew didn't take his.

Old Changtou tasted the good taste of special treatment. Others have to pay five cents for medical treatment, which is the consultation fee or registration fee, and the medicine fee is paid separately.

But barefoot doctor Zhang Peijin is his nephew, so he doesn't have to pay.

Old man Lu has to pay when he comes.

I don't know what disease the old man has, and he has been to the county twice recently.

He said to his nephew, "The old man from the Lu family will come to get medicine. You should take a good look at him and ask him what's wrong."

Zhang Peijin: "Maybe he wants to get medicine for his wife's eyes. I think her eyes are much better."

Old Changtou: "Anyway, if he comes, you should ask him carefully so that you can tell me later."

Zhang Peijin agreed and asked him about Xiaogang's condition.

Zhang Peijin couldn't cure Chang Xiaogang's leg. The county hospital said that he would be lame. Naturally, he had no idea and only asked out of kinship.

Old Changtou chatted for a while, smoked a bag of cigarettes, and then left with the superior mentality of getting medicine without paying for the consultation fee.

He went straight to the captain's house.

It was not time for dinner yet. The captain was sitting in the yard, enjoying the breeze and drinking peanuts.

He took a sip and made a satisfied sound, then he saw Lao Changtou coming over, "What's going on?"

Lao Changtou walked over, sat down, and sighed.

The captain opened a small wine cup and poured him a cup, "What's wrong? Is the child not well?"

Lao Changtou wiped his face, "The foot must be injured."

The captain sighed, "The child suffered, it's good to find him back."

Lao Changtou: "Yes, it's good to find him back."

He felt that he had a miserable life, and looked at those who were worse off than him, and he felt better.

Others lost their most promising sons, and he just had a lame grandson, what could he have?

Compared to those families who raised a fool or a madman, what could he have?

Nothing.

It's just a lame foot.

The captain clinked cups with him and took another sip.

Old Changtou took a sip of drink with him and talked about the prize giving. "This is not right. Our children are suffering. Why don't you give them something to express your sympathy?"

The captain was stunned: "This is a commendation from the Public Security Bureau."

"Well, then we just suffered in vain?"

"The criminal has been caught. He will be shot."

Sentencing is very strict these days. Hooliganism can be shot. He imprisoned women and children, so he must be sentenced to death.

The commune held a public trial and everyone watched the shooting.

Old Changtou: "Brother, his shooting is not good for us Gangzi, our legs are still lame."

The captain was a little unsure, "What do you mean?"

Old Changtou: "I think this matter should be calculated like this, he should pay for Gangzi's medical expenses, and he should pay for the loss of Gangzi's lameness that affects his work points and marriage."

Anyway, he calculated that it was about three to five thousand.

The captain opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, "The whole fortune of the brazer is less than ten yuan, and there seems to be no better way except to be shot as a warning."

Old Changtou: "No, let him go to the coal mine to earn money to compensate Gangzi, and when he pays off, he will be shot."

The captain: "Then there are seven victims in total."

Old Changtou was anxious, "We were the worst off just now, and they are not lame."

He asked the team leader to discuss with the branch secretary to go to the commune to raise opinions, and then let the commune call the county and Huang County Public Security Bureau to ask them not to shoot the beggar first, but to make him pay the money first.

The team leader was stunned for a moment, he really had no way to make this request to the commune and the public security bureau.

Finally, he gave an idea, "Or, you go to the commune yourself..."

Old Changtou: "Brother, you are a team cadre, your words carry weight..."

At this time, the team security director came back from the commune.

The security director was a retired soldier, in his thirties, and used to be a bugler. He had a loud voice, and he could shout out the momentum of a loudspeaker without a loudspeaker. He was called Deng Dababa.

"Everyone, pay attention. I have great news to announce."

"Comrade Lu Baocheng from our Lujiazhuang has been appointed as a non-staff doctor by the county hospital!"

"The county hospital has issued a license, so he can practice medicine in the brigade!"

"Everyone who wants acupuncture, massage, scraping, cupping, or treatment of bruises can go to him."

Old Man Lu just came back from the county.

Today, the hospital was busy and he didn't catch the bus. Fortunately, he took the commune's coal tractor back.

As soon as he entered the village, he heard Deng Daba shouting at the top of his lungs.

Old Man Lu: "..."

Too high-profile.

The villagers saw him coming back and congratulated him.

Second Master Lu is really capable. He became a barefoot doctor without saying a word. This is a job that others can't even ask for. This is real ability.

"It will be convenient for us to see a doctor in the future. We have to trouble Second Master."

Old Man Lu nodded repeatedly, "Thank you all for your respect."

Soon, Old Changtou, the captain and others also heard it.

Old Changtou thought there was something wrong with his ears, so he scratched his ears and said, "Brother, what did you hear?"

The team leader said happily, "Second brother Lu has been appointed by the county hospital as the barefoot doctor in our village."

Old Changtou suddenly felt a gust of evil wind rushing from the soles of his feet to his fontanelle, "What? No way!" He immediately yelled, "We already have a male barefoot doctor in our team, why do we need to use an old man? If you want to use one, just use a woman, right?"

The team leader motioned for him to be patient, "Don't fight, Second brother Lu is in charge of traditional Chinese medicine, and your nephew is in charge of western medicine and giving medicines and injections." Old

Changtou was still not convinced, "He hasn't received any training, what does he know about traditional Chinese medicine?"

At this moment, the sound of a child crying came from the chicken coop.

The grandson of the team leader was playing and climbed up to the chicken coop to reach the pomegranate flowers. As a result, his foot slipped and he fell headfirst from the top of the chicken coop.

Old Mrs. Zhang, who was mixing chicken food nearby, rushed over and picked up the grandson. She found that the child's arm was limp and was so scared that she immediately shouted: "Old man, the child's arm won't move. Is it broken?"

The team leader dropped his wine cup and rushed over.

Old Changtou immediately said: "Hurry up and call my nephew to come and take a look."

But Old Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said, "No, no, Zhang Peijin doesn't know how to set bones. Hurry up and get a car to the commune health center!"

Old Changtou was embarrassed.

The captain picked up his grandson and said, "I'll go see Brother Lu first. He has learned bone-setting and massage. If he can't be cured, go to the commune clinic."

He ran out with his grandson in his arms without saying a word. Old Chang chased after him, "What can he do? He hasn't been to the hospital for training! Go find my nephew!"

Father Lu really knows how to treat. He learned acupuncture and massage, so he naturally had to learn some bone-setting skills. After all, there were so many friends and children in the family, and you never know when someone will get hurt.

When he was a child, Lu Shaotang was very naughty. He didn't suffer much when fighting with others, but he suffered a lot when he climbed the wall and trees by himself.

Those were all treated by Father Lu himself.

As soon as Father Lu entered the house, he picked up the purple clay teapot that Tiantian and Panpan had brought to him. Before he could drink it, he heard the captain's rough shout, "Second brother, help me!" Father Lu

was so scared that his hands trembled and he almost dropped the teapot again.
