Chapter 109
I returned to Xing'an Village at the end of August. Before starting the college entrance examination sprint mode, Weisheng actually opened a foreign language class in the village primary school.
She first taught the 26 letters, then simple words, and only after the students had a general understanding of the foreign language did she begin to teach phonetic symbols.
Weisheng bought a lot of foreign language tapes and dictionaries in the provincial capital, and also found a broken and unusable tape recorder at a scrap yard.
I repaired it myself in the tube building, and then refurbished the outer shell using the techniques of restoring antiques. After all the work, it looked like new.
When he came back from the provincial capital this time, Weisheng took all three things to the village primary school.
Because he was worried that the younger students in the village primary school would get confused with pinyin when reading foreign languages, Weisheng started teaching foreign language classes after school, leaving the children from grades three to five and Zhang Yuhua alone in the classroom.
In the college entrance examinations in recent years, foreign language was optional, but after these three years, foreign language is no longer a subject that you can choose not to take.
Lay a foundation in elementary school, and it will be easier to learn later.
Everyone in the village knew that university was free, with living expenses provided, and that graduates would receive formal employment. Village officials had previously held a meeting and later announced to the entire village: if any village child was admitted to university, the village would cover their travel expenses.
In other words, as long as the child is admitted to university, the family will have almost no expenses except preparing a set of bedding and luggage for the child.
Under such conditions, no family would want their children to take the college entrance examination.
At this moment, Weisheng is making a fuss about "bird language" in the village primary school. Apart from watching the teachers and students chattering away with interest, no one in the village really says that children should not learn foreign languages.
Just like before, the villagers knew that this learning would definitely not be in vain.
After being busy at the village primary school for more than ten days, Weisheng went up the mountain to collect herbs again. After finishing his work, he took some things prepared by Pang Ganma's family for Pang Sihai and went to the provincial capital again.
Originally, I had agreed with Pang Sihai on the specific date for the ride in the letter, but two days ago, Weisheng discovered that the weather in Songbei Town was going to change. He was afraid that it would rain and the roads would be difficult to travel, so he told the old village chief about the rain and set off early.
There was no one to pick him up at the station, and Weisheng was alone, so he stayed in a guesthouse and took the five o'clock train the next morning to Shangning.
After arriving in Shangning, Weisheng took a bus to the tube-shaped building. By the time he got there, many people had already gotten up to make breakfast.
The neighbors who were cooking in the corridor greeted Weisheng, and Weisheng smiled and nodded in response.
Standing at the door with something in his hand, Weisheng first knocked on the door before reaching out to push it.
Instead of pushing it, he knocked on Pang Sihai who hadn't gotten up yet.
Pang Sihai shouted "I'm coming" towards the door and walked towards it.
When I opened the door, I found Weisheng standing outside with a smile on his face.
"Why are you here so early?" Pang Sihai was surprised and happy. He hurriedly took the things in Weisheng's hand and led her into the house.
"Since the weather wasn't right, I came here early." Weisheng quickly looked around the room before turning his gaze back to Pang Sihai, who was hurriedly putting on his vest. "I bought breakfast, Fourth Brother, go wash up."
I glanced down Pang Sihai's bare arm at the scar on his abdomen. He had used some good medicine at the time, so the scar looked very light and not hideous. When I looked away, I caught sight of Pang Sihai's abdominal muscles again.
Although Pang Sihai has not worked in the fields as much as he did in the village in recent years, he has maintained a very good figure.
It looks particularly powerful.
←_←
The window was not closed all night and there was no smell in the room. When Pang Sihai went to the bathroom to wash up, Weisheng took back his Luohan bed and hung his bedding and his own bedding in the inner room out the window.
When Pang Sihai came back and saw that most of Weisheng's body was outside the window, he was so scared that he ran over and his big hands, still covered with water droplets, directly grasped Weisheng's slender waist.
At first, there was a slight coolness from the water droplets, and then a scorching heat spread across the skin. Weisheng felt a little uncomfortable, and after tidying up the bedding, he hurried down from the window.
Seeing this, Pang Sihai loosened his grip on Weisheng's waist. His heartbeat was like a drum, and his hands clenched slightly. He only said, "Why are you still so thin?"
Is it easy for her to maintain this waistline?
Weisheng glared at him unhappily, "Being big and strong is considered good-looking?"
Pang Sihai: At least that kind of figure doesn’t make people feel sorry for him.
.
I heard that Weisheng stayed in a guesthouse in Liquan City yesterday. Pang Sihai also reminded Weisheng to come up early next time, so he sent him a telegram first.
"It's so chaotic around the train station these days, and you don't need a letter of introduction to buy a ticket like you did a few years ago. You're a little girl, be careful not to run into any beggars."
Weisheng felt sweet inside, but he still muttered, "Brother, I'm twenty-five."
But he still looks like he is eighteen or nineteen years old.
Pang Sihai also muttered something, and seeing that Weisheng didn't want to eat anymore, he took the half fried dough stick she had left and finished all the breakfast Weisheng bought.
After lunch, Pang Sihai went to work. Before leaving, he told Weisheng that he didn’t need to cook at noon and he would go to the cafeteria to get food.
Weisheng shook his head after hearing this. "I don't like food in lunch boxes. I slept well yesterday. You can just go home at noon."
Pang Sihai touched Weisheng's head and said, "Then eat noodles."
If you have noodles and eggs at home, you can fry some egg sauce and then cook some noodles. It saves time and effort.
"Got it! Let's go now, or you'll lose your bonus if you're late."
Before leaving, Pang Sihai reached out and scratched Weisheng's nose lovingly, then strode away.
Weisheng stood there, touched his little nose, chuckled, and began to fiddle with the things she brought.
This time, Weisheng came with not only the army green canvas backpack that she always carried before, but also a handbag of similar color.
But no matter how bulgy these two bags look, none of the items inside are heavy.
While Pang Sihai was not at home, Weisheng took out all the luggage that was placed in the space.
For the sake of Pang Sihai's leader's wife, she has to travel back and forth to the provincial capital several times a year, so Weisheng plans to leave two sets of clothes with Pang Sihai to save her the trouble of carrying them back and forth every time she comes.
He took his things to the inner room, and after coming out, he took out all the things that Aunt Pang had given to Pang Sihai and placed them on the operating table.
Then came Weisheng’s medicine box and the things she brought for Pang Sihai.
A large jar of pickles, a can of beef sauce, another can of mushroom and meat sauce, a can of oil tea noodles and a bag of steamed buns made from three-grain flour.
At noon, we made a pot of noodles in the space in the style of Xinjiang Dapanji, and ate it with pickles and blanched choy sum made by Weisheng. Both of us ate a lot.
In the evening, Weisheng stewed a fish for Pang Sihai, put a lot of side dishes in the fish, and steamed flower rolls on top.
After dinner, Weisheng went to change his clothes while Pang Sihai took the dirty bowls and dishes to the bathroom to wash them. When he came back, the two of them went for a walk along the tree-lined path again, just like they did during summer vacation.
The weather was no longer as hot as it had been in August, and after dinner, many people were playing basketball and table tennis along the boulevard. There were also people playing tennis, and in a very small area, people were playing football.
When he saw someone playing football, Weisheng's gaze shifted 45 degrees, as if he couldn't bear to look at it, let alone torture himself.
Those footballs that fall into certain professional football teams are also in trouble.
╮(╯▽╰)╭
At night, Weisheng glanced at the open window. In order to prevent being disturbed by the couple upstairs, she lit the "calming incense" in advance.
But this is just Weisheng's overthinking.
The couple upstairs, after years of unremitting efforts, have finally conceived a child. They found out last week, and they are now nurturing the pregnancy.
After a good night's sleep, Pang Sihai originally wanted to tell Weisheng that he slept very soundly every time he came to the provincial capital, but he was afraid that once he said this, Weisheng would think of the couple upstairs, so he swallowed the words back.
After eating three sweet potato buns with mixed porridge with a lot of side dishes, Pang Sihai talked with Weisheng for a while before going to work.
Before going to work, he still touched Weisheng's head and whispered to Weisheng where his money was and told him to go and get whatever he wanted to buy.
Pang Sihai had said this to Weisheng the last time he came, and he said it again this time, but Weisheng still did not touch the salary, bonus and supply book in the drawer.
Although he came up two days earlier, Weisheng did not go to see the leader's wife for medical treatment in advance, but still lived her life according to her own plan.
He went to the recycling station again and, like a Taobao shop, he found some small items from the Ming and Qing dynasties. He brought the items back to the building in a cloth shopping bag and began to clean and repair them.
When Pang Sihai came back, he saw some bottles, jars and things like pen washers on the table where he usually ate.
Pang Sihai: "What's this for?"
"The antiques I find at the scrap yard can be sold for a good price in a few years when the economy improves."
"Antique?" Pang Sihai picked up one of them and looked at it, then asked Weisheng curiously, "How did you find that out?"
Because in my previous life, I spent my whole life studying antique identification and restoration.
Since the truth could not be told, Wei Sheng tried his best to criticize Pang Sihai, saying, "Books are the golden house. If you don't let it down, it won't let you down either."
Pang Sihai, who had barely read anything other than newspapers and documents since he started working, said: "..."
He placed all the bottles and jars in a bamboo box, padded it with rags and sponges, and then pushed the entire box under the bed in the inner room. After he was done, he told Pang Sihai, "I'll leave these things with you. If you ever move, don't leave them here."
Pang Sihai: "Aren't you going to take it back to the village?"
"I'm going to college next year. There's no one to take care of it at home, and taking it with me is out of the question. I can't even carry my luggage, so how can I have the energy to carry it?"
Pang Sihai chuckled and shook his head when he heard this, "You really trust me."
Weisheng didn't say anything after hearing this, but turned around and went to the stove to bring out today's dinner.
Clay pot rice with bacon, steamed pork ribs with taro, and cold dishes with sauce.
Weisheng’s space cannot preserve freshness, but there is a mountain in her painting world, so Weisheng raised some pigs, cattle and sheep at the foot of the mountain.
Kill a pig, a cow, or a goat. Cut the rest into small pieces and freeze them in the freezer, except for the bacon. Whenever you want to eat, just take out a piece.
Although it is not as delicious as fresh ones, it is already a very good life in an era of material scarcity.
…
Pang Sihai's boss's wife's health had clearly improved after a course of medication. This time, Weisheng came over and adjusted the prescription based on her condition, and also prescribed two more medicinal recipes for her.
The day of the follow-up visit was Sunday. Pang Sihai wanted to take Weisheng to the park, so he did not wait for the leader to come at home, but took Weisheng to the leader's house.
The leader's home was a proper three-bedroom apartment. Pang Sihai had come here once when he was just discharged from the hospital and was going through the onboarding process. Now he had brought Weisheng over directly.
Weisheng found that the leader's family conditions were quite good, so he suggested that the patient take a medicinal bath.
The leader was a smart man and had already sent people to Songbei Town to inquire about Weisheng.
Weisheng is now not only famous in Songbei Town, but also has a certain mass base in Liquan City. In any case, when people ask about Weisheng, they all say good things about her.
It would be fine for others, but the leader was completely confused by the sentence "You even delayed your lifelong event for the children in the village."
Aren’t she and Pang Sihai a couple?
The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, and they are both in love with each other, so why don't they get married?
But the leader is the leader, even if they are curious, they don't gossip to the person in question. Instead, they act as if they know nothing and care about Weisheng's work.
The implicit meaning of his words seemed to be that they wanted to arrange for Weisheng to go to the hospital clinic.
At this time, Weisheng had just finished a follow-up consultation with the leader's wife, and the leader said this, giving people the illusion that the leader was paying for the consultation by arranging work for him.
At this time, most people took the college entrance examination in order to return to the city and get a formal job. If Weisheng also had this idea, then the leader's proposal was a perfect solution.
Unfortunately, Weisheng had a trading mission, and she also wanted to learn some knowledge she had never learned before to prepare for the next journey.
After all, he was Pang Sihai's leader, so Weisheng directly gave him the right to speak.
Pang Sihai smiled and thanked the leader for his kindness, and talked about how Weisheng had no interest in medicine and was preparing to take the college entrance examination next year.
~
After prescribing the prescription for the medicinal bath, Weisheng personally taught the student how to take the bath. After that, the student should just follow the instructions given the first time and take the bath every three days.
This time, the treatment course is still 21 days.
In the following months, Weisheng would go to the provincial capital every ten days or so. The leader's family was not one for errands, so although they did not directly buy a round trip ticket for Weisheng, they did give Pang Sihai a bicycle.
It’s a 26-inch diagonal women’s bicycle from Shanghai Jiuyong.
It goes without saying who this bicycle is for.
Pang Sihai did not refuse on Weisheng's behalf. He happily took the bicycle and then carried it to the inner room where Weisheng lived.
She wrote to Weisheng to tell him about the bicycle, and asked him whether he wanted to send it to her in the village now, or wait until she came to the provincial capital next time and send it back together with her when he sent her home.
Weisheng said that it would be fine for her to stay in the provincial capital, as she would not need a bicycle in the village.
She really doesn't need it. First, she has all kinds of bicycles in her space; second, after she returned to the village, she almost never left the village and didn't use the bicycle for a year or two.
Leaving the bicycle in the provincial capital, Pang Sihai can use it, and she can also use it when she goes to the provincial capital.
Even the antiques were left in the provincial capital, just a bicycle... Weisheng didn't take it seriously anyway.
Not only are the antiques kept with him, but now even the bicycles are kept in the provincial capital... In any case, Pang Sihai keeps it in mind.
After New Year's Day, Weisheng's Gaokao sprint class was held again. Because Weisheng had created another miracle in the Gaokao in 1978, the number of candidates for the Gaokao sprint class in 1979 also reached a new high.
Fortunately, Weisheng prepared a loudspeaker early, otherwise no one would be able to hear what she was saying even if her throat was hoarse.
The town gave Weisheng a bonus and asked the village to submit an application for various expenses of the cram school. After that, the town approved a sum of money for the village to operate the cram school.
Although the amount of money is pitifully small, tutoring classes don’t really cost much.
However, Weisheng still used the money to purchase several boxes of chalk and toilet paper.
Most of it was left to the village primary school, and only a small part was used in the college entrance examination cram school.
For years, the garrison had been sending Weisheng gifts. Last year, after the incident of him collapsing from exhaustion, they sent even more. Now, every month, Weisheng gets a bag of milk powder, two kilograms of rice, two kilograms of millet, and two kilograms of sugar.
It is worth mentioning that during the period when Weisheng was ill last year, all the milk powder and canned snack boxes in the town supply and marketing cooperative were sold out.
The steamed buns at Weisheng's house now all contain milk powder.
Time flew by and it was July 1979. Pang Sihai took a few days off from work just to accompany Weisheng to take the college entrance examination.
To be honest, there were too many people accompanying Weisheng to take the college entrance examination. If it weren't for her strong mental state, which allowed her to answer all those college entrance examination questions with her eyes closed, she probably wouldn't be able to handle all this attention and enthusiasm.
It rained on the two days of the college entrance examination, but as soon as he left the examination room, Pang Sihai rushed to Weisheng with an umbrella, so that Weisheng didn't get wet at all.
During those two days, the village was very quiet both day and night. Several godmothers sat together and did their best to prepare three meals a day for Weisheng.
Pang Sihai personally drove the village donkey cart to pick up Weisheng and take him to the examination room. His brothers and sisters bought a lot of pens for Weisheng to take in and sell, or rather, to use casually.
After the college entrance examination was over, when Weisheng took all the candidates to estimate their scores, many people in the village went to the village committee compound.
Although I was sure that Weisheng would be able to get into university, I couldn't help but feel happy for her after knowing the score she estimated for herself.
God shouldn't treat this child unfairly!
