"Grandson, please don't give your grandpa cigarettes anymore. He's already smoked five or six since you were gone for a while."
Mu Xue took off her granddaughter's gloves and hat, pulled her to the stove to warm her little hands, and kept muttering to herself.
Having been the director of the Suzhou Women's Federation for more than ten years, Muxue still knows how much Zhonghua cigarettes cost.
"You old woman, this is a gift from my grandson, so what if I smoke a few more?
Besides, didn’t you drink a whole pot of tea that your grandson brought? You even emptied the thermos.”
Xiao Qingyang is a heavy smoker and has been doing it on the farm for five years. Yang Baiyi suddenly gave him such good cigarettes, he must enjoy it!
"Although I did drink a lot of water, I didn't change my tea leaves. Unlike you, you smoke one less tea leaf after another."
Mu Xue was scared by the hard life in the past few years and developed an extremely frugal lifestyle. The tea leaves in the teacup were so brewed that they had no color at all.
"Grandma, my grandpa is right. This is my filial piety to you two. Just smoke and drink as much as you want. Don't save it for me. I don't lack these things."
Looking at the two elders bickering, Yang Baiyi said with a smile.
"Dad, Mom, you didn't go to the brigade headquarters and missed the commendation meeting for the white-clad soldiers.
The meat distributed today was what the people in white beat last night. You didn’t see the scene. From the brigade cadres to the ordinary members, everyone praised my nephew a lot.
The captain knew I was Bai Yi's uncle and offered me a cigarette, but I refused.
Xiao Fuxing's face flushed with excitement and his whole body was trembling with excitement.
In Yang Baiyi's impression, his uncle had never spoken so many words at once.
Xiao Fuxing was born in a peaceful era. At that time, Xiao Qingyang had already retired. As the son of a high-ranking official, he was naturally surrounded by all kinds of compliments and praise.
Even if you break someone's glass out of mischief, you will probably be praised for your accuracy.
The past five years on the farm were like going from heaven to hell. There was endless work to do every day, and I was surrounded by all kinds of ridicule and contempt.
The captain's respect today actually made Xiao Fuxing feel like tears welled up in his eyes.
"Is Doctor Yang home?"
Just as Xiao Fuxing was expressing his opinion, Chen Baiwang's voice came from the yard.
Originally, Chen Baiwang planned to ask Hu Zi to deliver the wolf meat. Knowing that Yang Baiyi's grandfather and his family were coming, Chen Baiwang found the old branch secretary. The two discussed it and decided to come and visit in person.
"The team leader and Party Secretary Chen are here? Come in quickly."
Yang Baiyi lifted the cotton door curtain and came out to greet him.
"Captain, didn't you say to have Hu Zi bring it over? Why did you two come here in person?"
After entering the main room, Yang Baiyi took the wolf meat from Chen Baiwang's hand and handed each of them a cigarette.
"We know your grandparents are coming! You've made such a great contribution to Chenjiatun, it would be unreasonable for us not to come and visit you!
Are these two Dr. Yang's grandparents? Hello, uncle and aunt, I am Chen Baiwang, the team leader of the Chenjiatun Production Team, and this is Chen Dahe, our branch secretary. Welcome to Chenjiatun with your family of three.
As soon as Chen Baiwang arrived, he put himself in the position of a junior, and called them uncle and aunt very smoothly.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I'm Chen Dahe, the village party secretary. You're worried about these two siblings, so you came to see them, right?
Dr. Yang performed very well and is the most outstanding young person I have ever met.
It is a blessing for Chenjiatun that he can come to the countryside to work in the fields.
We come from a remote area and don't have anything to show for ourselves. Here are two bottles of Xifeng Liquor. I hope you don't mind, old brother."
Chen Dahe took out two bottles of Xifeng liquor from his coat pocket.
Chen Dahe was not being polite at all. These were his true feelings. He had praised Chen Baiwang more than once in the brigade headquarters. This time, bringing Yang Baiyi here was like picking up a treasure.
"Thank you, Secretary Chen and Captain. Bai Yi is still young. If there are any shortcomings in his words and deeds, I hope you will forgive him."
As Yang Baiyi's grandfather, what else can Xiao Qingyang say?
People praise their grandson like a flower. Although I think so too, I still have to be polite.
"Brother, I'm not being polite, Doctor Yang is truly outstanding.
He speaks tactfully and is thorough in his work, and has made great contributions to our Chenjiatun.
Before he came, there wasn't even a barefoot doctor in our village.
The members endured minor illnesses and endured major illnesses. Even if they were taken to the health center, not only would they spend all their family savings, but few of them could be saved. Most of them ended up losing both their money and their lives.
Doctor Yang saved Chen Xiaobao, who had been sentenced to death by the health center, with his first treatment. His medical skills surpassed those of the health center by several streets.
"Old man, the key is that Dr. Yang has very high medical ethics and charges very low fees.
The illnesses that people go to the health center for are usually serious and require serious treatment, but Dr. Yang can cure them for just a few cents.
If you have money, you can settle the bill. If you really don’t have money, Dr. Yang won’t watch you die.
Members of Chenjiatun, when you mention Dr. Yang, who wouldn't give him a thumbs up?
"Brother, normally such a capable young man would be very arrogant, but Doctor Yang is not like that. He can chat with every member and never gives people the impression that he is superior to others."
"Uncle, aunt, Doctor Yang is not only a skilled doctor, but also a man of great vision. He killed three roe deer right away, and he didn't keep any of them. He gave them all to the members.
Last night, a pack of wolves entered the village and even reached the entrance of the pigpen. Doctor Yang killed them all.
Not only did they protect collective assets, but they also distributed wolf meat to the members.
At that time, we wondered what kind of family could produce such an outstanding talent like Dr. Yang. It was only after meeting my uncle and aunt today that I got the answer.
My uncle and aunt are obviously knowledgeable and cultured people. It is no surprise that they can raise such an outstanding junior like Doctor Yang."
Chen Baiwang and Chen Dahe were talking like a crosstalk, with one comment after another, praising Yang Baiyi so much that he felt a little embarrassed.
The smile on Xiao Qingyang's lips was harder to suppress than an AK47. For an elder, it would make him happier if others praised his juniors than if they praised him directly.
A mist rose in Mu Xue's eyes. She knew better than anyone that Yang Baiyi's excellence had nothing to do with them.
It was all thanks to her poor daughter that she raised such an outstanding grandson.
"Old Party Secretary, Team Leader, have some tea. Don't go back at noon. Come drink with my grandfather."
Yang Baiyi poured tea for the two of them and invited them to have lunch at home.
"How can I be so embarrassed, Doctor Yang, please stop working, let's just talk for a few minutes and then go back."
"There's wolf bones stewing in the cafeteria. We can just go there to eat."
No one had enough food, so the two of them quickly declined.
