In the infirmary, Qian Wen was giving injections to his coworkers. He glanced at Sun Qunchao who had barged in and motioned to sit down first and wait for him to finish his work.
Sun Qianchao was very angry. Seeing that his coworkers were there, he sat aside sullenly.
Zheng Juan was practicing acupuncture on her arm. When she saw this scene, she accidentally missed the needle in her hand and frowned. It was wrong and painful.
Zhu Dingbang, who was observing Qian Wen's acupuncture techniques, stood aside and took notes. He did not dare to interfere with the teacher's affairs at will.
The worker who was treating the patient had not yet finished treating him. After Xu Sun caught up with him, another worker came in to see a doctor.
Sun Qianchao waited angrily on the side, and the more he thought about it, the more he was holding his breath. He knew that he liked Qiao Chunyan, but he was trying to attract matchmakers to outsiders without introducing him to him. He couldn't accept it for a while.
Qian Wen's big eyes stared blankly at Qian Wen, which made Qian Wen feel uncomfortable getting an injection.
"Don't move, An Sheng lies down." Qian Wen patted the shoulder of the worker who was getting the needle.
"I understand, Doctor Zhou." The worker nodded.
"Do you see clearly?" Qian Wen looked at Zhu Dingbang standing aside.
Zhu Dingbang shook his head and nodded again, seeming to understand.
"I don't understand what you are doing here as a pillar. Go and memorize the formula. You are so ambitious. You want to run away just after you learn to walk. You can do it!" Qian Wen looked like a strict teacher, then took Zhu Dingbang's notebook, looked at it, and pointed.
, "I remember this acupuncture point wrongly. Don't go home and randomly prick acupuncture points on yourself. If you become paralyzed, the factory director will kill you."
Zheng Juan was prescribing medicine for the worker who had just come in. Qian Wen looked at it, took the worker's pulse, and stopped disturbing Zheng Juan's consultation.
Zhu Dingbang is willing to learn, respects his teachers, and is smart. Qian Wen has already accepted him as his apprentice.
Zheng Juan is already able to sit in the clinic, but she needs Qian Wen to check her every time and cannot prescribe medicines in private.
"So busy? Isn't your work area busy?" Qian Wen sat next to Qianchao.
"Busy!" Sun Qianchao said in a loud voice.
"What makes you so angry?" Qian Wen asked curiously.
"Chunyan and Tang Xiangyang are in love." Sun Qianchao said with a straight face.
Qian Wen suddenly realized that this was what happened. No wonder Sun Qianchao was in a bad mood.
They all knew that Sun Qianchao liked Qiao Chunyan, but Qiao Chunyan didn't like Sun Qianchao at all.
"You were the matchmaker between Tang Xiangyang and Chunyan, right?" Sun Qianchao looked at him and said.
"It's useless for you to look for me. It's not like you don't know whether Chunyan likes you or not." Sun Qianchao's face was gloomy. Qian Wen was helpless. He couldn't do anything about his feelings.
Everyone has their own preferences for radish and green vegetables, and Sun Qianchao is not Qiao Chunyan’s favorite dish.
He originally planned to bring the two of them together, but as soon as the Coca-Cola opened, Qiao Chunyan said she didn't like big noses.
How can he pull the strings with matchmakers?
"I have liked Chunyan for so long. I accepted Chunyan's love for you before, but now you have Zheng Juan, and it turns out that Chunyan and Tang Xiangyang are in love.
Bingkun, can you understand how I feel now?" Sun Qianchao felt depressed and covered his head.
"How about you go out for a drink on National Day after get off work and I treat you?" Qian Wen suggested.
Nothing in the world can explain love, but wine.
Sun Qianchao didn't come to Qian Wen for questioning, but he was aroused when he heard that Qiao Chunyan and Tang Xiangyang were hooking up with each other. He also knew that Qiao Chunyan didn't like him, but he was depressed and had nowhere to vent.
.
But when he got to the infirmary, he couldn't vent his anger. No one could blame him for this, but he just felt aggrieved.
"Come on, come on, I'll give you a cup to go away the fire.
My face is turning red." Qian Wen pulled Sun Qunchao to the medical bed aside.
Qianchao nodded, he felt uncomfortable now.
Days pass by, things are done one by one, time is like running water, one year, two years, three years...
Zheng Juan was pregnant, and their first child was born in 1975.
It was a boy, but Li Suhua was extremely happy. Zhou Zhigang, who received the letter in a distant mountain city, was also extremely excited. If he hadn't been unable to ask for leave, he would have gone back to Jichun City to see his eldest grandson.
He and Zheng Juan’s first child was named Zhou Xuekang.
Qiao Chunyan also has a child.
Qiao Chunyan spotted Tang Xiangyang and quickly won over him. Then she met her parents, which caused a little trouble. After all, she came from a teacher's family, and she had some grudges against Qiao Chunyan, a public bath attendant.
But who was Qiao Chunyan? It didn't take long for her to settle everything by herself, get married to Tang Xiangyang, and move there.
Now I have given birth to a big fat boy named Tang Yi.
Both families gave birth to a boy, but Qiao Chunyan still regretted it and said that it would have been better if there was only one boy and one girl, and they would marry him as a baby.
Xiao Guoqing and Wu Qian also got married and had a fat boy.
It's just that Xiao Guoqing's two sisters who went to the countryside have returned to their hometowns. Now there are many people who have returned to their hometowns. They have no work arrangements and have been unemployed at home.
Wu Qian and Xiao Guoqing were shouting about this matter every day.
Sun Qianchao found a partner, who was also a female worker at a public bathhouse. She was Qiao Chunyan's apprentice, and Qiao Chunyan introduced her to him.
Very beautiful.
Cao Debao is not married, but he has talked a lot with his partner, but because of his family's situation, no woman is willing to marry him for the time being.
In the play, Cao Debao stepped in and lived in Qiao Chunyan's house after marriage. He was considered married. Now he doesn't even have a rented house. Who can follow him?
Zhou Rong also returned to her hometown. With Qian Wen's connections in Wangjiatun, her return went smoothly, but she was also unemployed at home, and the street office did not allocate a unit to her.
Cai Xiaoguang found a place for her to work as a sugar factory worker, and Zhou Rongguang became the working class.
Cai Xiaoguang did date a partner, which was arranged by his parents, but they broke up not long after the relationship.
Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone on the road.
Cai Xiaoguang's parents are quite happy for their son to be with Zhou Rong. After all, their son likes it and knows everything about it, so they can rest assured.
But Zhou Rong is currently out of touch. Whenever the blind date comes up, she pretends to be confused, and Cai Xiaoguang follows her lead and pretends to be confused.
Li Suhua got angry because of this and scolded Zhou Rong, but it still didn't help.
Qian Wen had secretly planned to contact Beituo Temple, "I don't know if we will accept nuns."
Anyway, he has always felt that Zhou Rong is actually quite suitable to live alone. When going to the mountains and countryside, isn't it okay to be alone all the time?
Lu Chuan went to the capital to attend university. He left a year ago and was recommended by the soy sauce factory.
In fact, the lumber factory also had recommended quotas, but they were very few. Qian Wen was also assigned, but he didn't choose to go.
Because the school is average and the college entrance examination is about to open, wouldn't it be good to go with Zheng Juan?
1976.
Before the Spring Festival.
Zhou Bingyi, who has not been back for six years, is back.
"The road along this light-marked road is still the same, and it hasn't changed at all from when we walked on it." The road is still the same as the dirt. Zhou Bingyi looked at Hao Dongmei beside him and said with a little disappointment.
"The streets, alleys, and houses have not changed. They are exactly the same as when I first came here." Hao Dongmei said, looking around.
"No, it has changed. The road has become narrower. Every household has an extra room or half a room." Zhou Bingyi looked at every household on the roadside. They have expanded a lot on the small street. The road has become much narrower.
few.
"I don't know what's going on at home." Zhou Bingyi felt extremely homesick.
Hao Dongmei held Zhou Bingyi's hand and said with a smile, "Didn't the letter say everything is well at home? Besides, it will be here soon."
Zhou Bingyi nodded, feeling homesick as he got closer to home.
Walking through familiar streets and houses, home is right in front of you.
I should have excitedly pushed open the small courtyard of my home, ran in, and shouted that I was back.
But Zhou Bingyi stopped and became panicked.
"Bingyi, where is our family?" Hao Dongmei said dumbfounded.
Yes, where is home.
On the original site of Lao Zhou's house, the familiar and warm tile-roofed house disappeared and turned into a two-story bungalow.
Zhou Bingyi felt uneasy because the home he had always missed was gone.
With sweaty palms, Zhou Bingyi looked blankly at the two-story house in front of him, "Dongmei, are we going to the wrong place?"
Zhou Bingyi thought he hadn't come back for a long time and had gone the wrong way.
Hao Dongmei also had some doubts.
Immediately, she who was still relatively calm thought of the letter from three years ago, "Bingyi, do you still remember the letter that Bingkun and dad sent you three years ago?"
"Three years ago..." Zhou Bingyi began to circle in place, looking at familiar places, familiar intersections, and familiar neighborhood homes.
"Ah, is this Bingyi back?" a neighbor passing by stopped and said.
"Uncle Zhang?" Zhou Bingyi said vaguely.
"It's your Uncle Zhang, are you too old to recognize me?" neighbor Uncle Zhang said with a smile.
"Uncle Zhang, where is my house?" Zhou Bingyi asked hurriedly when he saw his neighbor.
"Your home?" Uncle Zhang, the neighbor, didn't understand and touched his forehead, turned around and pointed, "Isn't that right?"
Following the gesture, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei looked at the two-story bungalow on the original site of the old Zhou family.
They didn't make a mistake, they just didn't dare to believe it.
Hao Dongmei was okay, thinking about the letter saying that her home had been renovated, she didn't believe it a little, but she could still accept it.
Zhou Bingyi also thought about it, but still couldn't imagine it.
It was too hard for him to believe that the house he had lived in for more than 20 years had become a two-story bungalow. Even though he had told him in the letter, he thought it was a clerical error.
"Bingyi, Uncle Zhang has something to do. Come and sit at Uncle Zhang's house when you have time." The neighbor, Uncle Zhang, said hello and left.
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, walk slowly."
"Bingyi..." Hao Dongmei asked and looked at Zhou Bingyi.
"Go, knock on the door."
Zhou Bingyi carried his luggage and walked towards the two-story bungalow.
Standing at the door, Zhou Bingyi tried, "Dong dong dong~"
Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei waited in confusion.
A few seconds later, they heard at the door, "Milk...milk...wow wah wah~"
The loud cry of a child.
"Ah, what's wrong with Kangkang? Let grandma take a look."
"Mom." Hearing the sound coming from the door, Zhou Bingyi hurriedly knocked on the door and called.
Soon, the door opened.
Li Suhua, holding her child, appeared at the door and said happily, "Bingyi~"
"Mom~" Zhou Bingyi shouted happily.
"Mom." Hao Dongmei called hurriedly.
Li Suhua wanted to hug Zhou Bingyi, but with the child in her arms, she hurriedly braked, "Quick, quick, come in, don't stand at the door, it's cold."
Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei walked in and looked at the home curiously.
"Bingkun, Juan'er, come down quickly, your eldest brother and sister-in-law are back." Li Suhua shouted towards the second floor.
Zhou Bingyi looked at this strange Zhou family and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. 'I really want to rebuild the family. Where did Bingkun get so much money?'
Hao Dongmei's father used to be the governor of the province, and the family was not bad at all. She was not that surprised by the new old Zhou family, but she felt quite different in her heart.
You must know that when he first came to Zhou's house, it was still a mud-tiled house. The house was compact and had a fire pit. Now... it is clean and tidy, and the house is as warm as summer in winter.
There's also this floor, and the TV that's on in the living room.
Is this an ordinary family, the old Zhou family?
She had only seen this TV once when she followed Bingyi to the league leader's home. This old Zhou family...
"Bingyi, Dongmei, please sit down quickly, why are you standing?
Bingkun and Juaner are cleaning the windows on the second floor, come down immediately."
Li Suhua took Hao Dongmei to sit in the living room, and then happily went to the utility room to get some delicious food.
"Mom, stop working so hard. This is Bingkun's child, Kangkang?" Zhou Bingyi found out in the letter that his brother had a child.
"Yes, this is Kangkang." Li Suhua hugged Zhou Xuekang and asked him to recognize Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei, "Kangkang, this is your uncle and aunt."
Xiao Kangkang sucked his fingers and hugged Li Suhua's neck while hiding, obviously afraid of the unknown Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei.
Since Qian Wen took charge of the old Zhou family, he has never been short of food and clothing. He was born in a well-off society and even had fine clothes and fine food. Now he is still pretty and cute.
Hao Dongmei looked at Xiao Kangkang, her eyes darkened at first, then she looked at the child and stretched out her hand to hug him.
"Mom, let me hug Kangkang." Hao Dongmei said eagerly.
Zhou Bingyi sighed in his heart when he saw it.
"Come to Kangkang, let Auntie give you a hug, and grandma will tell you where to eat delicious food." Li Suhua coaxed.
Xiao Kangkang looked at the good-looking Hao Dongmei, Li Suhua coaxed her, Hao Dongmei looked at her gently, and then Xiao Kangkang stretched out his hands.
Hao Dongmei hugged Xiao Kangkang excitedly and carefully, feeling Xiao Kangkang's pink and tender skin, she burst into tears.
"Dongmei, what's going on?" Li Suhua was startled.
"Mom, Kangkang is so cute." Hao Dongmei kissed Xiaokangkang's soft little face and said fondly.
Zhou Bingyi patted his wife's back gently, looked at Xiao Kangkang's appearance, thought of something, and sighed again, feeling gloomy in his heart.
"mom."
Qian Wen and Zheng Juan walked down from the second floor.
Zheng Juan has been nurtured by Qian Wen in recent years and has become even more beautiful. When she appeared in front of her eldest brother Zhou Bingyi and sister-in-law Hao Dongmei, their eyes lit up, "What a beautiful girl."
"Brother, sister-in-law is back." Qian Wen patted the dust on his sleeves from cleaning just now.
"Brother, sister-in-law." Zheng Juan called.
Zheng Juan was completely unfamiliar with Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei. She looked curiously at her eldest brother Zhou Bingyi, whom her father and mother had always praised. You must know that when teaching, her family likes to use her eldest brother Zhou Bingyi as an example.
"Bingkun, did you build this house by yourself?" As soon as Qian Wen appeared, Zhou Bingyi couldn't wait to ask out his doubts.
"How is it possible? How could I build such a big house by myself?" Qian Wen said with a smile.
"I paid for it and asked someone to build it."
Zhou Bingyi was silent. He had always been the most promising member of the old Zhou family.
There was a bit of weird melancholy in his heart. He was really happy that his family had gotten better, but the change had nothing to do with him. He was the eldest brother of the Zhou family, so he felt indescribable.
"You must be Juan'er. You are so good-looking. No wonder Xiao Kangkang is so cute." Hao Dongmei walked towards Zheng Juan, holding Xiao Kangkang in her arms.
Qian Wen took Zhou Bingyi to get acquainted with him at home.
Zheng Juan and Hao Dongmei played with their children and chatted intimately.
While chatting, Hao Dongmei felt that her brother-in-law's wife Zheng Juan was very knowledgeable. No matter where the conversation was, she could follow her topic and have her own unique insights.
"Juan'er, which high school did you graduate from?" Hao Dongmei asked curiously.
Zheng Juan smiled and said openly, "Sister-in-law, I didn't go to high school, I didn't even finish elementary school."
Hao Dongmei was surprised. She didn't even finish elementary school, but she had such academic ability and knowledge level?
Perhaps seeing Hao Dongmei's doubts, Zheng Juan explained, "They were all taught by Bingkun.
Ever since we started dating, he likes to read and let me accompany him when he studies, and he also goes to night school from time to time.
I learned a lot after going back and forth.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to recognize all the words.”
Even so, Hao Dongmei still found it incredible. Learning is a very private thing and cannot be learned without being accompanied. Now that Zheng Juan can have such academic ability, Hao Dongmei praised, "Juan'er, you are so smart."
Zheng Juan smiled. She also felt that her sister-in-law Hao Dongmei was very nice. Although she had just met her, she felt very comfortable chatting with her.
Especially her love for Xiaokangkang, she can see it.
Qian Wen took Zhou Bingyi down from the second floor and showed him the kitchen and small courtyard on the first floor.
"The water pipes are connected to the house, and there is a toilet in the courtyard." Zhou Bingyi murmured.
“The toilet is nothing, it just costs money to pump out sewage every month.
It took a lot of effort to get the water pipe into the house, and I found a lot of familiar people to do it, and the water bill was only one yuan a month.
When my mother found out, she beat me and said it was a waste.
When the water was available, he was snickering and couldn't close his mouth, so cute." Qian Wen said to Zhou Bingyi with a smile.
Zhou Bingyi patted Qian Wen's shoulder heavily and said with emotion, "Bingkun, dad said in the letter that you have changed and become very different. I didn't believe it yet, but I believe it now.
Thank you for taking good care of our Zhou family for me, the boss of the Zhou family."
"Harm, why are you talking about this?
Didn't you go to the mountains and go to the countryside? If we could have done it differently, you would have done as well as me." Qian Wen waved his hand carelessly.
Zhou Bingyi patted his shoulder heavily again.
"Let's go and see my nephew.
I was just shocked by your feat." Zhou Bingkun said in his heart.
Li Suhua had already taken out a lot of food from the utility room and placed them on the coffee table in the living room, letting Hao Dongmei try this one and see if it was delicious.
Hao Dongmei also smiled and ate without refusing. From time to time, she carefully and carefully fed Xiao Kangkang in her arms.
As soon as she entered the house, Hao Dongmei lamented the great changes in the old Zhou family's new home, and then she turned all her attention to Xiao Kangkang, kissing her little face, shaking her hands, and teaching Xiao Kangkang to call her aunt.
Zheng Juan felt that her sister-in-law Hao Dongmei liked Xiaokangkang too much.
But as she looked at it, Zheng Juan's pretty brows wrinkled up. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to looking, hearing, asking and understanding. She has been studying medicine for six years and saw the morbidity in her sister-in-law Hao Dongmei.
"Sister-in-law, can I take your pulse?"
Hao Dongmei was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her hand casually, "Juan'er, can you still see a doctor?"
Qian Wen's letter did not mention what Zheng Juan's current job was. Every time he corresponded, he just wrote about Li Suhua's physical condition. Now he just wrote whatever Li Suhua told him to write. Most of them asked Zhou Bingyi whether they were eating well and wearing clothes.
Is it warm or not? Is it tired?
So Zhou Bingyi and the others actually didn't know anything about their family.
Zheng Juan did not speak, but carefully felt the pulse of her sister-in-law Hao Dongmei.
Li Suhua on the side said with a smile, "Juan'er is very powerful now. Many people don't go to the health center when they are sick. Instead, they see Juan'er.
Take a dose of medicine and the disease will be cured.
Last time, just half a year ago, Juan cured a man who was unable to have children."
As soon as these words came out, Hao Dongmei, who was smiling, felt her heart skip a beat.
He was about to take his hand back in a hurry.
Zheng Juan raised her head and said solemnly, "Sister-in-law, you are sick!"
Hao Dongmei's face turned pale when she heard this.
