It should be said that Hong Yanwu's words were quite effective and were somewhat helpful to Zhaoqing.
Although Hong Lucheng quickly showed his disdain and advised Yuntai not to take Hong Yanwu's nonsense seriously, in fact, it was just to show off his prestige and to save Yuntai's face, deliberately doing it for others to see.
In fact, he couldn't come up with any strong arguments to refute Hong Yanwu's words, so he and Wang Yunlin kept trying to persuade Yuntai to be more open-minded.
As for Yuntai's own attitude, it is even more obvious.
He leaned back on the chair and didn't speak for a long time. Just from his expression, it could be seen that the intestines in his stomach were lingering, and he was weighing and thinking over and over again.
After a while, he finally said feebly, "I still can't think clearly about this matter. From a logical point of view, Xiao Wu is right. Looking back on myself, my past calculations and designs that were utilitarian
. Now it seems that it is all fresh nonsense, at least I think so. But after all... some mentality cannot be expressed in words. After all, I am still a mortal, and I really can't do something about some things.
Just laugh it off..."
Then there was a lament, which was so easy to describe with tears in my eyes and so difficult to describe with sadness in my heart.
But it undoubtedly proves that his attitude is no longer as firm as it was at the beginning.
Hong Yanwu does not seek success in one fell swoop. He knows very well that it is difficult to change a person's ideas at once, especially for people who are getting older. Many of their ideas are already deeply ingrained.
After reaching this point, it was hard to say anything, so in the end I only offered one word of advice.
"Uncle, what I said today may be a little rash and abrupt, please don't mind. But for some things, we really can't generally say who is right and who is wrong, nor can we force anyone to do what they should do. Anyway, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
Everyone should have their own way of living. You, you should be considerate. No matter what, just don’t hurt the feelings between father and son..."
This is true everywhere, just to put your mind at ease.
Yuntai naturally appreciated it and nodded. He was just a little uninterested, and his expression was as weak as a baby's.
Wang Yunlin could see that her brother was so uncomfortable, so after thinking about it, she said that she would let him stay overnight and that she would go back to Longkou Village with him tomorrow so that she could help persuade Zhaoqing and see if she could change her eldest nephew's mind.
Hong Lucheng also expressed support for this.
Yuntai was very grateful for the kindness of his sister and brother-in-law, and he immediately thought that it would be a good time for Wang Yunlin to pay homage to his mother, so he agreed immediately.
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu rolled his eyes and made another suggestion, saying that he might as well borrow two tricycles and that he and Quanzi would take them back to Fangshan tomorrow.
This will save time for parents and uncle. Anyone else who wants to go can also find the door. At the same time, it will also be convenient to buy some things for uncle to take.
This is indeed a good idea that kills three birds with one stone.
Wang Yunlin and Hong Lucheng were very moved after hearing this, and Yuntai also understood the filial piety of their third nephew. Moreover, it was summer vacation, and Hong Yanwen and Hong Yanru were feeling uncomfortable staying at home, so they were naturally full of interest.
What needs to be considered is whether it is convenient for Yuntai's home and the issue of asking for leave for those who have to go to work.
Yuntai said that there are plenty of rural areas and it is cooler than in the city. He was just worried about the poor conditions and that the younger generation would not be able to bear it.
Hong Yanwen quickly said, "Don't worry about us. People in the capital haven't gone to the countryside to join the queue yet. I also came back from Yanbei, and I can't even drink water anywhere."
One sentence solved Yuntai's concerns.
Then, Hong Yanwu made a guarantee for asking for leave from the vegetable company without even thinking about it.
In this case, Wang Yunlin entrusted the affairs of her unit to her eldest son, and the matter was settled.
Naturally, Hong Yanwen and Hong Yanru were all smiling. Seeing them so happy, Yuntai felt the care of his family, and the depression in his heart could not help but feel relieved.
But what he didn't expect was that there would be another great thing that really caught him off guard.
When Hong Lucheng remembered Zhaoqing's punishment, he asked his nephew how he was recovering from his injuries. He also asked if he should ask Shou Jingfang to take a look.
What do you mean it takes no effort at all? This is it!
Hearing that Shou Jingfang's whereabouts had been found, Yuntai was so happy that his spirits immediately lifted.
He said that Zhaoqing was suffering from drowsiness, and he had been looking for Shou Jing's prescription. He just asked people to inquire in many ways, but to no avail. Now that he is better, it would be best to ask this miracle doctor to help.
That's it, the specific activities for everyone in the afternoon have been decided.
On one side, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan accompanied Wang Yunlin to buy things for their uncle's house. On the other side, Hong Lucheng and Hong Yanwen personally accompanied Yuntai to visit Shou Jingfang.
Because Xu Manli was pregnant and had a child, Hong Jun, Hong Yanzheng and Hong Yanru had to stay at home to take care of her.
Not to mention, Hong Yanwu is very efficient in his work.
After taking some time to stroll around the west courtyard, he made an agreement with his neighbor Heizi to requisition Heizi's three-wheeler first. In the evening, Heizi would help find another three-wheeler. Starting tomorrow, Heizi and his colleagues will be on sick leave.
.
As for the price of borrowing the car, it is just a "big front door" and a bonus of ten yuan for two people as compensation.
In the afternoon, everyone went out separately.
Hong Yanwu took Wang Yunlin and Chen Liquan on a tricycle and went straight to "Dashilan", and then went to the "Caishikou Vegetable Market", where they had a lot of shopping.
Clothing, cotton, shoes and socks, towels, soap, candles, matches, raincoats, enamel basins, cooked aluminum pots, thermos bottles, kettles, light bulbs, pens, ink, stationery... They want every household item, it's like buying a small
Grocery store.
In comparison, I didn't buy much food. I only bought cigarettes, wine, sugar, tea, canned meat, canned fish, fermented bean curd, pickles and a few boxes of pastries.
This was Hong Yanwu's suggestion. He said that there is a shortage of industrial products in rural areas, so you might as well buy more. Because the weather is hot, you need to buy food that is easy to preserve. If you really feel that it is not enough and want to give more food and drink, you might as well exchange some food stamps.
Good for uncle.
Wang Yunlin was very satisfied and did as her son asked. In the end, she spent more than 230 yuan in total.
Needless to say, Hong Yanwu also posted a lot of posts here.
In fact, it was mainly about industrial vouchers and exchanging food stamps. Although it was inconvenient to show up in front of his mother, he "bullied" her mother for not knowing the market, and used excuses to find an acquaintance to find a solution. In the end, he spent fifty yuan to exchange for industrial vouchers.
, and also exchanged 45 yuan for 300 kilograms of national food stamps. Everything was done properly.
As for Shou Jingfang, things went very smoothly.
The "miraculous doctor" was taking his son Shou Zheng and his apprentice Lin Su to "examine prescriptions" in the afternoon. They were treating patients and teaching them skills. Unexpectedly, they saw Hong Lucheng, Hong Yanwen and his son accompanied Yuntai to visit.
Shou Jingfang and Yuntai were also old acquaintances. They were very happy to meet the old friends. They exchanged a few words and agreed immediately after hearing the purpose of their visit.
Because he was really busy, he didn't waste time. He asked Shouzhen to accompany some relatives to his house for tea first, and then asked Lin Su to stop the "signs" behind him.
Then he took the time to see the existing patients. He also told his apprentice Lin Su that all customers who came to review prescriptions would be delayed for two days. Finally, he went to the pharmacy manager to ask for a two-day break, and then went home.
Here we can say that this is not a case of Shou Jingfang favoring one over the other and neglecting other patients, which is a lack of medical ethics.
Because after all, doctors are also human beings. As humans, they have feelings, and when they have feelings, they have closeness and closeness. Although Shou Jingfang has benevolence in his heart, it is absolutely impossible to ask him to treat everyone equally.
And having said that, no matter how skilled a person is in a certain aspect, if he can't even take care of "his own people" under certain circumstances, how can he be expected to be devoted to others?
Anyway, Shou Jingfang went back early that day, and there was another lively conversation at the door of Shou's family in Tea and Food Alley.
Shou Jingfang listened to Zhaoqing's situation in detail and concluded that the problem should not be serious.
He said that this was a common disease among Manchu and Mongolian princes and nobles, and that the Qing Palace Pharmacy had special diagnosis and treatment methods. He had already asked for leave and could leave with him tomorrow.
Shouzheng was worthy of Shou Jingfang's son, who was naturally enthusiastic about visiting doctors. After hearing this, he said that he also wanted to have a look.
Yuntai had already given up most of his heart at this time and had no reason to object, so he said sincerely and gratefully, "Yangren (Shou Jingfang's cousin), thank you so much. It's such a long way and such a hot day."
Son, I feel sorry for having to trouble you and my son. What can I say?"
Shou Jingfang laughed and said, "You are so polite, calling me by my name for the first time. This is not like the time when you pulled me by the collar and insisted on buying my blue dot chin. But you don't like this anymore.
, let’s just follow the crowd and call them by their first names from now on. By the way, don’t feel that you owe me any favors and have to pay me back. We are friends at first, but across Yunlin, we are also worthy relatives...
…”
After hearing this, Yuntai regained his composure and half-jokingly teased Mengzi.
"Brother, I'm not polite. In short, you are definitely at a loss. I really can't afford the medical fee of two bills now. A few old corn cobs are about the same. In addition, I can't afford to hire a sofa seat.
Please take your car to visit the doctor. Tomorrow we can only ride on the flatbed tricycle borrowed by my third nephew..."
Shou Jingfang almost spit out his tea. After finally swallowing it, he pointed at Yuntai and laughed.
"You, you, you, this is a bit like the old days. But you are wrong, there is more than that. I am destined to have to have a roast duck tonight. I will ask the Hong family to invite you later.
Come on, let’s all go to Qianmen’s ‘Beijing Roast Duck Restaurant’ in the evening..."
But when he said this, he suddenly shook his head again.
"Well, I thought about it as soon as I mentioned this. I thought about how good the name of the old store was! It was called 'Judequan', and now we are also 'Judequan'. Isn't it auspicious? But he changed it, and it's boring!"
"
"Hahaha..." When the people in the room heard this, they all laughed.
