I left with empty hands and came back with full hands.
Hong Yan is popular. As soon as she arrived at the settlement, many people greeted her and curiously asked who the female comrade she was with was.
After learning that she was Director Zhang's relative, his attitude became even friendlier.
Before I got home, I saw a burly man sitting on a rock in the distance, looking pitiful.
The contrast is so great that it's kind of funny.
After seeing them, the other party hurried over, took the things that Hong Yan was carrying, and greeted Uncle Wu.
Hong Yan glared at her husband in disapproval, then explained to Sang Zhi, "Your brother is just a weight, he's honest and doesn't know how to handle things."
Then she introduced her to her husband, "This is the girl Sangzhi I told you about. She's here to visit her relatives."
The man nodded to her politely, demonstrating the meaning of silence being golden to the fullest.
The two parties separated at the door. Sister Hong Yan took her fifth uncle home first, while Sang Zhi went back to get the money.
She took out her bag from the house and pretended to rummage inside for a long time, but in fact she was taking out money from the space.
Four hundred yuan meant forty Great Unity notes. She counted them twice and tied them up with a rubber band.
The capital is getting smaller and smaller, which really hurts me.
But thinking of the precious pills that were about to be obtained, he was still excited and ran to the opposite yard.
This is also Sangzhi's first time to come to the Zhao family.
Unlike Director Zhang’s simple and empty home, Zhao’s home is decorated with a lively atmosphere by the hostess.
There was a stone table and a water tank in the front yard, and some unwanted furniture and winter vegetables covered with felt were piled up in the back yard.
The old man also looked nervous when he saw her coming, fearing that the young comrade would regret it when he returned and not buy his medicine.
Fortunately, she kept her promise.
Most of the money on Sangzhi is new and emits the scent of ink.
The old man's hands trembled a little when he took the money. Only when he really got the money did his anxious heart finally settle down.
"Uncle, if you have any good things to sell at home, remember to give me priority. You can name the price, and I promise not to bargain."
Who would have thought that coming here would bring such a big surprise?
The old man carefully counted the money twice, his face full of smiles.
He hid the money at his waist, patted it twice, and then waved his hand.
“I do have some at home, but they are just ordinary pills. You are a connoisseur and you will definitely not like them.
But I know an old guy.
I also have Xiaoer Qizhen Dan and Dafeng Wan at home. The ingredients are genuine and they are well preserved.
If you want, I can help you connect with someone, but the prerequisite is that you don’t bargain down the price.”
Sangzhi's eyes lit up again and again.
Qizhendan is also called Baoyingdan. Its main ingredients include seven precious medicinal materials: Ming hemp, rhinoceros horn, antelope horn, bezoar, musk, toad venom, and agarwood.
More than ten Chinese medicinal herbs such as cinnabar, pinellia, platycodon, etc. are used as auxiliary ingredients.
It is mainly used to treat convulsions, high fever, excessive sputum, constipation, coma, convulsions, indigestion and other symptoms in children.
If Director Zhang had had a pill of this at home, Xiao Ping'an wouldn't have had to suffer so much later.
The folk proverb, “If you want your child to be safe, take the Seven Treasures Pill every month” is not in vain.
Sangzhi was sure he wanted it, and the two of them set a time for the transaction, and then the old man was about to say goodbye.
It took quite some time to get to the farm and if I didn't get home by dark, my wife would definitely be worried again.
My little grandson has been craving for meat for a few days, but I knew my family was broke so I didn't ask for it. Now that we have money, I'll try to improve his diet.
Zhao Shizhu picked up half a bag of flour and followed him, intending to take his uncle home.
It is not safe for the old man to walk at night with a large amount of money at his age.
Now holding her precious pill, Sangzhi wanted to go home, close the door, and hide in a corner where no one would notice her.
Bring it close to your face and smell it carefully.
But out of courtesy you still have to see the other person off.
But when passing by the cell, the old man suddenly stopped and looked at something absent-mindedly.
She also noticed that Hong Yan had changed her previous carefree appearance and sighed barely audibly. This time she did not tease the old man, but her voice was particularly gentle.
"Uncle, if you don't go back soon, my aunt will be worried."
The old man hummed and walked forward silently, but his steps were much heavier than before.
Hong Yan could still persuade him to be more open-minded about other things, but when she thought about what happened to her cousin, she herself had countless regrets. How could she have the energy to persuade him?
She was about the same age as her cousin and they were both members of the Xinghuagou cooperative. She met her husband through an introduction.
Her cousin is smarter than her and learns things quickly. She is also the only one in the village who graduated from high school. Later, she met the son of the branch secretary and married him.
In fact, that was the beginning of her misfortune. Her brother-in-law looked gentle, hardworking and capable, but that was all an illusion. He had squinty eyes and was very thoughtful.
Especially after getting drunk, he became like a different person, smashing things and beating her sister. Later, he even became more violent and beat her even when she was not drunk.
That time, because she called him home for dinner after playing cards, he not only beat her up, but also pushed her sister to the ground.
Who knew that with just that push, it would just scrape the sickle and cut the trachea.
While a group of people were rushing to take her to the hospital, she died of excessive blood loss.
In front of so many people, the other party could not deny it and was arrested by the police.
This happened about seven or eight years ago.
The man was imprisoned in a branch. If he had not come here, his sad past would not have been brought back.
In fact, she had advised the girl before, saying that it was a new society and if they couldn't live together, they should just get divorced.
It's not shameful.
But her sister was too sensible. She said that her brother and sister-in-law died early, and it was difficult enough for the old couple to raise their nephew.
If I divorce again, it will not only add burden to my family, but also make my parents worry.
