[Chapter 120 Chapter 120 The Sucker]
Cheng Liyan sat in the office for a while. After calculating the time and making sure that almost everyone at the clinic had arrived, he went straight to find Lian Fengmei.
Lian Fengmei was very happy to see him coming, and she took him aside and talked to him for a long time.
When Cheng Liyan gets stubborn, he won't recognize anyone.
But he is not incapable of saying nice things.
When he wants to talk to you nicely, his voice is gentle and soft, and every word he says can make you feel comfortable and make you feel extremely pleasing to the eye.
The two of them sang in unison, and soon Cheng Liyan made Doctor Lian and Sister Lian smile happily.
Then he got down to business.
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Lian Fengmei frowned.
She said: "Li Yan, it's not that I won't help you, the key is that our clinic really doesn't have so much medicine in stock!
Our regiment’s clinic is small, and we can only get two bottles of berberine every month, and we have to exchange them for empty bottles.
Without the empty bottles, you can’t even get these two bottles back.
Let alone fifty or sixty bottles, I can’t even get you five or six bottles.”
Cheng Liyan was mentally prepared for this before he came, but he was still a little disappointed when he heard this.
Noticing the change in his expression, Lian Fengmei thought for a moment and asked, "Li Yan, what is the character of your comrade-in-arms?"
Cheng Liyan was stunned for a moment, then immediately said: "Big sister, I can promise with my personality that he is not the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity! If there are any mistakes, you can ask me!"
Lian Fengmei waved her hand: "It's not that serious. The main thing is that I do have a way, but this method is not very legal. If someone reports it, both of us will make mistakes."
Cheng Liyan said quickly: "Don't worry, big sister, I will never implicate you."
Lian Fengmei smiled: "I'm really not afraid of you being implicated. To put it bluntly, for us, even if we are discovered, it's just a matter of self-examination. The main thing is you!
The medicines distributed in our army have never been particularly complete. What should we do if we don’t have medicine? We can’t just ignore the soldiers when they are sick.
So we all have some ways to get scarce drugs.
As long as it’s for work and not for speculation, no one will say anything about us. Even if they do say it, we’re not afraid, everyone does it, and it’s an unspoken secret.”
She reached out and patted Cheng Liyan on the shoulder: "I'm worried about you. You want so much at once. If something happens to your comrade in the future and he bites you back, you will be the one who suffers."
She shook her head and sighed, "In today's society, there are many things that cannot be avoided, and good people may not always be rewarded."
Cheng Liyan said sincerely: "Sister, I understand. I will pay attention."
Lian Fengmei wrote a prescription for Cheng Liyan, which included not only berberine, but also oxytetracycline tablets and two supplements suitable for critically ill patients.
She also wrote down the instructions for Cheng Liyan, and then gave him an address, asking him to go to a small alley behind the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine to find an old man named Gu.
Tell him that it was Dr. Lian who asked him to come, and he will find a way to help you get these medicines.
Of course, the price he asks for will be higher, at least much higher than the normal purchase price of the hospital.
Cheng Liyan agreed immediately.
He thanked Dr. Lian and was about to leave.
As soon as I turned around, I heard Doctor Lian say behind me: "Li Yan, wait a moment."
Cheng Liyan stopped.
Doctor Lian said, "Wait a minute. The division headquarters has just issued us a batch of "Barefoot Doctor's Manuals". I'll go get you a copy. You can mail it to your comrade when the time comes.
It contains methods for preventing and treating dysentery. Although medicine is important, daily prevention is also important.
Especially in terms of hygiene, we must implement them one by one. Otherwise, even if we cure it now, it may come back in the future.”
After saying that, he quickly walked back to the clinic.
Soon he came out with a very thick book.
Cheng Liyan thanked Dr. Lian and immediately rushed to the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine with the book.
In a very remote alley behind the Chinese medicine hospital, he found the old man surnamed Gu.
When he went over, the old man was sitting in a low shack, rummaging through things inside.
Only then did Cheng Liyan realize that this man was actually a rag picker.
He explained his purpose to Old Man Gu, and Old Man Gu looked Cheng Liyan up and down.
Perhaps it was the military uniform on his body that finally won the man's trust. He stretched out his thumb and index finger towards Cheng Liyan, making an eight gesture.
Then he said slowly: "Eighty."
Upon hearing this number, Cheng Liyan felt a lump in his chest and was almost laughing at this man!
He immediately said: "Are you taking me for a fool?"
The old man Gu didn't even raise his head, his eyelids still drooping, and said slowly: "Everyone who can find me here is a sucker. You don't have to."
When he spoke, he had no intention of retorting, and he spoke slowly and calmly, but it made Cheng Liyan feel the most suffocated feeling he had never experienced in his life.
He wanted to turn around and leave.
But I know that my second uncle is still waiting for these medicines to save his life.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and asked, "If I pay you now, when can you give me the medicine?"
Only then did Old Man Gu raise his head.
He looked at Cheng Liyan and said, "Come back when it's dark, and come here again."
After hearing this, Cheng Liyan turned around and left!
When he returned, Shen Yuyao was the first to come out to greet him.
Knowing that there was some progress on the medicine, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She immediately brought her husband some clean clothes, asked him to take a shower, and quickly made him a bowl of cold hand-rolled noodles.
The noodles are kneaded by the cook at home. Eggs are added when kneading the dough. The noodles made are soft, chewy and especially smooth.
The stew Shen Yuyao made was egg and tomato. She also prepared shredded cucumber and carrot. She even tore off a piece of chicken breast and prepared shredded chicken.
I also mashed garlic and made vinegar and garlic juice.
In fact, Shen Yuyao didn't eat these things much before.
My mother was afraid that she would like to eat cold food, so cold noodles only appeared in her meals occasionally.
She would not be allowed to use strong-flavored condiments such as vinegar and garlic juice casually.
But Cheng Liyan had made this kind of tomato and egg noodles for her before, and Shen Yuyao thought it tasted good.
The most important thing is that she knows her husband loves this dish.
So I learned how to make it slowly, and now I can do it very authentically.
Sure enough, although it was not time for dinner yet, Cheng Liyan finished the big bowl of noodles after taking a shower.
Even had a bowl of noodle soup at the end.
After eating and drinking, and taking money from his wife, Cheng Liyan went to see Old Man Gu again.
Although the old man spoke harshly, he was obviously quite capable.
When Cheng Liyan went there, he had already neatly stacked the medicines in a box, including a bottle of rehydration solution that the doctor said might not be found.
After Cheng Liyan finished counting, he gave the money to Old Man Gu and prepared to leave with his things.
Unexpectedly, Old Man Gu stopped him at this time and said, "Wait a moment."
Then he took out a piece of yellowish paper from his pocket and handed it to Cheng Liyan.
He said, "I won't ask for your money for nothing. I'll give you this. Just for this, you can take out another eighty and it will be a good deal!"
