Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 875 Opening Treasure Chests to Earn Credits, Little Li's Flying Elbow to the Actress (Two Chapters Combined)
One characteristic of food prepared in a local dialect is that people don't talk much while eating.

People only had time to talk after they had almost finished eating.

The main reason is that it tastes so good. When we first started eating, we were all stuffing our mouths with food and didn't even have time to talk.
After everyone had eaten their fill, they began to talk about how the local dialect had been used to treat the overseas Chinese merchant's illness that day.

It was mainly Song Jianzhong, Du Heng, and Yan Yifan who spoke.

Wang Yuchuan, Li Zhengji, and others chimed in.

Other members of the Fang family inquired.

Sometimes, a couple of sentences are explained in the dialect.

After the meal, everyone had a pretty good idea of ​​what had happened in Fangyan that morning.

The last patient was arguably the most challenging patient we encountered that morning.

Fortunately, the dialect didn't pose a problem.

After lunch, everyone else went to school, but Fang Yan went back to his study.

He hasn't opened the gifts he received yet; he'll go to school after he opens them.

Sun Menghong's gift was a beautifully packaged gift box.

After opening the gift wrapping, there was a very simple cardboard box inside.

After opening the box, the contents were revealed.

Inside is a brand new Canon A-1 film camera, which was released less than ten days ago.

I saw a preview of the dialect in an international magazine last year.

Along with it is an FD 50mm prime lens with an aperture of f/1.4 SSC.

This machine also uses fully digital control.

On it you can see shutter priority AE, aperture priority AE, fully automatic program AE, preset aperture priority AE and flash AE modes that are available on later digital cameras.

In this era of manually operated mechanical cameras, this was undoubtedly a revolutionary product.

Although it wasn't the first digitally controlled camera, Fang Yan had played with SLRs in his previous life and knew that this thing was the best-selling film camera in history.

The reason is that it's easy to operate.

However, it's quite expensive; the body, lens, and film together cost well over two thousand RMB.

Only someone like Sun Menghong, who is in business, could afford to give such a gift.

It's pretty good; it's like getting a camera for the family.

Taking photos is also a good option.

It's perfect for capturing family gatherings on the weekend.

It's easy to use; anyone can do it.

Fang Yan put the camera aside and looked at another of Gao Wen's gift boxes.

Gao Wen is a businesswoman in the UK, so naturally the gift would be British in style.

After opening the box, they found a set of jewelry inside.

Diamond ring, pearl necklace, gemstone earrings.

It looks very flashy.

It's obvious that Gao Wen had something on her mind. People usually give gifts to Fang Yan, but she's giving this to Fang Yan's wife.

These were designed by famous jewelry brands, and the prices range from several hundred pounds to several thousand pounds.

"Wife, come here for a second," Fang Yan called to his wife.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Lin asked curiously as he entered the study.

Fang Yan pointed to the jewelry on the desk and said:

"It's yours."

Zhu Lin was also taken aback when she saw the exquisitely designed jewels on the jewelry box.

"Such a big pearl? Was it a gift from an overseas Chinese businessman today?" she asked.

Nodding in dialect:

"Yes, the British twins."

Zhu Lin walked to the desk, picked up the jewelry, held it up to his ears, and then said:

"This is too extravagant. I thought only noble ladies in foreign movies had such extravagant outfits."

"Want to try it on?" Fang Yan asked.

Zhu Lin nodded and got dressed.

As she put it on, she said:

"These things are too conspicuous; I can't take them out at all."

"She looks like... the wife of a wealthy landlord."

Fang Yan smiled and watched his wife get dressed.

This set of jewelry looks extravagant, but it looks perfectly natural on her.

After putting it on, Zhu Lin asked Fang Yan:

"How about it? Isn't it extravagant?"

As she spoke, she spun around once.

Fang Yan said with a smile:

"They're quite a good match."

Zhu Lin said:

"Haha, really?"

Fang Yan nodded:
"It's mainly about the temperament."

Zhu Lin said:
"They don't look like medical staff at all; they look like idle royal nobles."

“When we were in college, our teacher said that foreign nobles made their clothes and jewelry particularly extravagant in order to distinguish themselves from ordinary people. The more unsuitable their clothes were for labor, the more popular they were, because this was to show their status and tell others whether they were exploiters who needed labor.”

Fang Yan said with a smile:

"Haha, my wife has a very high level of awareness."

Zhu Lin said:

"Okay, okay, I won't wear it anymore, just look at it."

"I'll pass it on to my daughter-in-law then."

He laughed in dialect:

"Haha, the baby hasn't even been born yet, we don't even know the gender, and he's already thinking about his daughter-in-law."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Lin touched her stomach and said:

"If this is a girl, we'll try harder!"

"I will definitely give you a son."

Fang Yan scratched his head, saying that he didn't really care whether he had a son or a daughter.

Then he changed the subject and said to his wife:
"Hey, don't take it off yet, let me take a picture."

"Taking pictures? Here?" Zhu Lin was a little surprised. He didn't think he had a camera at home.

Fang Yan pointed to the box on the other side and said:
“Sun Menghong from Japan gave me a camera.”

Then the dialect began to be skillfully assembled.

After it was assembled, Zhu Lin said to Fang Yan:

"It's too dark here, let's go outside to shoot?"

He said in dialect:

"Right here, there's atmosphere, and this camera has a large aperture."

Then Fang Yan had Zhu Lin sit behind the desk and took several pictures with the camera.

To be honest, compared to cameras that require manual parameter adjustments, this machine is incredibly user-friendly, giving you a feeling of being transported to another time.

"Don't just take pictures of me, take some pictures of you too." Zhu Lin was counting the rolls of film.

That's the downside of film cameras; you can't just take pictures however you want.

After receiving the camera, Zhu Lin immediately noticed that it was different from the cameras he had handled before.

She said in surprise:

"This camera is pretty high-tech! It even needs batteries?"

He said in dialect:

"Digital control, a new product this year."

It's clear that Her Majesty is more interested in this than in the jewelry.

I snapped several photos of the dialect, and only finished shooting after using up an entire roll of film.

Fortunately, Sun Menghong gave away quite a lot.

After this roll was finished being filmed, Fang Yan realized it was almost time.

He told his wife to pack his things, and then he went to school.

"Oh right, remember to ask Director Feng for the black-boned chicken this afternoon. I need to make a soup for my brother-in-law tonight; he's been using his brain too much lately and needs some nourishment."

"I'll take care of killing the chicken when I get back. You're pregnant now and can't stand the smell."

Fang Yan gave his wife some instructions before leaving.

Zhu Lin nodded and said with a smile:

"Okay, I've got it."

"Alright, I'm going to school." Fang Yan waved goodbye to his wife and then went to Xiehe Hospital to get his car.

This time I'm driving a brand new car.

While this car may not be as flashy as the previous sports car, its comfort level is definitely a step up, and the interior is very spacious, with an extra three people seated in the back.

When Fang Yan drove up to the entrance of the research institute, the gatekeeper was a little surprised, wondering where the new car came from. He only realized it was Fang Yan after seeing that it was Fang Yan.

After they saluted him, they were allowed to enter.

Fang Yan parked the car and arrived at the school.

It was about time, so Fang Yan went straight to class.

When I arrived at the classroom, there were already quite a few students there.

Upon seeing Fang Yan arrive, everyone greeted him as "Brother Fang" and "Class Monitor."

Fang Yan greeted them first, then asked with some puzzlement:
"Where are Li Zhengji and Song Jianzhong?"

Meng Jimin said:
"Aren't they with you?"

He said in dialect:

"They ate at my house and came back first. I didn't see them on the way, so I thought they were in the classroom."

“They didn’t go back to their dorms either,” Wang Zhijun said.

Fang Yan was curious: Where did this person go?
Did he go to Professor Tamagawa's office?

Just as Fang Yan was still wondering, Lao Fan pointed towards the door:
"coming."

Fang Yan turned around and saw that Li Zhengji and the others had arrived.

"What's going on? You guys left first and arrived after me?" Fang Yan asked Li Zhengji.

"I just went to the principal's office," Li Zhengji said, pausing before continuing:
"Going to Peking Union Medical College Hospital with you from now on won't count as taking leave."

Fang Yan was taken aback and asked:

"What's that?"

Song Jianzhong, who was standing to the side, said:
"It's considered an internship, and you even get extra credits."

Everyone has only heard of the options for deducting points, such as not attending ideological and political education classes, fighting, not submitting reports, and staying overnight off-campus without a valid reason. These are all ways to deduct points.

This is the first time I've heard of bonus points today.

The people in the classroom were shocked:

"Is there such a good thing?"

Li Zhengji said:
"Of course, it was decided by Principal Wang Yuchuan and Secretary Wang Enhou."

"This initiative is in response to the Ministry of Health's call for early and extensive clinical practice, and aims to address the long-standing problem of the disconnect between traditional classroom teaching and clinical practice. This institutionalized international clinical teaching also paves the way for securing foreign exchange funding and international cooperation projects, and selects promising students with an international perspective through credit incentives."

These words stunned the students around him. Even Fang Yan was a little confused. Professor Yu Chuan was indeed an academic; all he thought about was how to teach students.

Even this little bit of dialect can't compare to his.

If it were me, I'd always be thinking about making money through foreign exchange trading.

No wonder I can't seem to bless my disciples; it turns out their understanding and awareness haven't kept up.

Li Zhengji said to the dialect:

"We were just discussing this over there."

"However, the official notification hasn't come down yet; they have to hold a meeting this afternoon."

"Will I get extra credits if I do an internship at another hospital?" Fang Yan asked them.

Several people shook their heads, and Li Zhengji said:
"He didn't say, so he probably doesn't plan to."

Meng Jimin, who was standing to the side, said:
"After all, Peking Union Medical College Hospital has limited spots, and not just anyone can go there."

Fang Yan nodded, it seemed that his current practice at Peking Union Medical College Hospital would become a high-end internship project at the school.

"Hiss... someone like me who goes to physiotherapy every day, and someone like Fang Yan who goes to check on patients every day, wouldn't that be counting towards academic credits every day?" Old Fan stroked his chin and began to analyze.

Fang Yan was both amused and exasperated, and said:
"Are you really that short of credits?"

This credit system is not actually designed for people around the dialect, but for others.

However, even if they want to do this, they still need to discuss it with themselves and Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

Otherwise, if Peking Union Medical College Hospital sees too many people or that people with certain dialects don't want to bring any more, their system will be useless.

Sure enough, Professor Wang Yuchuan and Secretary Wang Enhou came over during the first sharing session in the afternoon.

I'm talking about internships.

People who go on internships with the dialect will receive extra credits. This list will be reviewed by the school and the dialect organization, and only those who pass the review will be eligible.

"I'm fine with this, but you'd better discuss it with Peking Union Medical College Hospital," Fang Yan said to Professor Wang Yuchuan.

Fang Yan had no objection; in fact, he was eager to recruit more people so he could expand his network. Moreover, these were all future elites in traditional Chinese medicine who had been screened. As long as they weren't morally questionable, they could all go with him for an apprenticeship in the morning.

But what about Peking Union Medical College?
Whether they're willing or not?
Fang Yan wasn't the dean, so he didn't know what the other person was thinking.

"We'll call and discuss this later, and ask a leader from the Ministry of Health to act as an intermediary. It shouldn't be a big problem," said Secretary Wang Enhou.

Fang Yan had no objection when he said that.

If you can get through it, just cooperate and that's it.

However, they clearly believed that the most important thing was the attitude of the dialect. Since there was no problem with the dialect, they were naturally confident about the Xiehe Hospital.

Fang Yan didn't know how they talked, but before school ended in the afternoon, Professor Wang Yuchuan found Fang Yan and said that he had passed the test and that he would still bring four people and one teacher each time.

Just like today's setup, the number of participants is limited.

This makes the spots even more precious.

By the way, the people going to the dialect learning class tomorrow are Xiao Chengzhi, Meng Jimin, Wang Zhijun, and Cheng Baogui.

As for the accompanying teachers, the school hasn't made any arrangements yet, and it's unclear whether they will be included tomorrow.

Anyway, the student list has been confirmed.

After school, Fang Yan didn't rush home. Instead, she went with Meng Jimin to the "Secret Recipe Research Institute" on the back hill of the school.

The project is still ongoing; the production line has been installed and is now in the commissioning phase.

Professor Chen Keji was still on-site providing guidance.

He was ordered to work for the dialect.

The key issue is that we have to work overtime tonight, mainly because orders are coming in and we need to get things running as quickly as possible.

Fang Yan thanked Professor Chen Keji for his hard work before leaving with Meng Jimin.

Then Meng Jimin walked back to Dongzhimen Hospital, while Fang Yan went to drive home.

When I arrived at Xiehe Hospital, I saw that Lao Hu's car had already returned to the parking lot.

It seems that the production line installation at Chaoyang Dongba is going smoothly.

Fang Yan locked the car, glanced at the Mercedes sports car next to him, and realized that leaving the car parked in the open in the wind and rain was not a good solution; it looked like he needed to find a place to park it.

Fang Yan thought for a moment and realized that there seemed to be a parking garage in the hospital. It seemed that if he talked to the hospital director, he could probably park there.

Just maintain it regularly, and you don't have to worry about it having problems from being exposed to the wind and sun.

After all, I actually quite like the local dialect in this car.

When Fang Yan returned home, her brother-in-law was cleaning the three black-boned chickens that had been killed. They weren't very big, and they were almost all done.

Anton and the Pearl of Justice were squatting to the side watching.

Upon seeing Fang Yan return, his brother-in-law said to him:
"Since I had nothing to do anyway, I decided to kill the chicken myself."

"There are still some internal organs left to be cleaned out, but the chicken has been completely gutted."

That's just how my brother-in-law is; he can't stay still whenever he's at home.

This holiday will probably involve spending most of his time at home doing chores; in his view, doing housework is a form of rest.

Habits formed on the grasslands are hard to change.

The dialect says to take the chicken and stew it.

Anton followed him in. There were many people at home today, so they were making a stew of three chickens.

Although it was supposed to be to help my brother-in-law recover, everyone who saw it got a share.

When Fang Yan started cooking, she began giving lessons to Anton and Zhao Zhengyi in the kitchen.

She was cooking and attending class at the same time, multitasking.

Anton and Zhao Zhengyi also have this ability; they can help others while also attending classes.

After the lecture, they were able to briefly summarize the content of the day's lesson.

After the lesson ended, Lao Hu came over.

His wife, Huang Huijie, also came over today. She's experiencing a lot of pregnancy symptoms, so she came over for dinner and also to check out Fangyan.

Fang Yan was in the kitchen, and he examined her pulse and tongue.

The tongue is pale and swollen with teeth marks, the coating is white and greasy, and the pulse is soft and slow.

Then, for Huang Huijie's symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity and anxiety, vomiting clear water in the morning, abdominal distension, fatigue and loose stools, a traditional Chinese medicine prescription was prescribed to strengthen the spleen and stomach and soothe the liver and regulate qi.

However, the dosage of traditional Chinese medicine has been reduced, mainly for older mothers who are more sensitive, as some of the irritating ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine may trigger uterine contractions. Therefore, the prescriptions for traditional Chinese medicine are written with great care.

It contains ginseng, atractylodes macrocephala, poria cocos, and licorice root (from the Sijunzi Decoction), all essential herbs for tonifying the spleen and stomach. There are no contraindications during pregnancy, but she had some loose stools, so the local dialect changed the atractylodes macrocephala to be stir-fried. (For constipation, use raw atractylodes macrocephala.)

It is also combined with Scutellaria baicalensis, Dioscorea opposita and other pregnancy-stabilizing herbs to ensure complete safety.

When treating pregnant women, especially older pregnant women, everyone has to be extremely careful.

Huang Huijie's physical condition is no longer as good as that of a young, normal pregnant woman.

It was only because Zhu Lin kept massaging her that she felt better during her pregnancy.

This time it wasn't out of necessity; her body was having too many reactions, and she didn't really want to take the medicine.

After prescribing the medicine for her, Lao Hu went to Peking Union Medical College Hospital to pick it up himself.

After receiving the medicine, he personally had Fang Yan confirm its authenticity, and then he personally tended to the stove by the door while decocting the medicine.

Recently, Huang Huijie has been busy with business and running around. In addition, her sense of smell has changed since she became pregnant, and she dislikes the smell on him. The couple rarely spends time together. Today, Huang Huijie was able to experience her husband's love again.

At the same time, she also envied Zhu Lin, who was much healthier than her.

When the two went to ask their mothers for advice on pregnancy, Lao Hu also told Fang Yan about the production line installation in Chaoyang Dongba that day.

"The installation is too slow. Their workers have no experience in this area and are all figuring it out by trial and error."

"I was even planning to hire an engineer from Japan," Lao Hu complained to Fang Yan.

Fang Yan said to him:
"No need. I know a professor who is in charge of installing the production line for my 'Secret Formula Research Institute.' It's all installed and should be ready for testing tonight. He'll be free then."

The dialect refers to Chen Keji.

After hearing this, Lao Hu said:

"Really? How do I contact him?"

He said in dialect:

"I'll go tell them that the Ministry of Health leaders are coming to work tomorrow."

There's another medical treatment project for overseas Chinese businessmen tomorrow; we'll likely run into it sooner or later.

Perhaps Director Liao will also come and talk to him about that fund.

Fang Yan explained Chen Keji's work to Lao Hu:
"Mainly because his job was arranged by his superiors, we contacted him privately about other job arrangements."

Old Hu nodded thoughtfully:
"Okay, then I'll leave this to you."

After saying that, he remembered Fang Yan's secret formula research institute, which was at a higher level than he had thought. He realized it might not be possible to transfer people there. He said:
"But don't force it. If it really doesn't work, I'll just have to bring in engineers from Japan."

Fang Yan shook his head:
"If Japanese engineers are transferred here, won't the fact that the production line was shipped to China be exposed?"

"Then just keep him in the country. With enough money, he can make money anywhere," Lao Hu said.

Fang Yan was speechless. The cost of installing a production line was far too high.

"Don't worry, even if the professor can't come, my dad and father-in-law are professionals. Two professors from Beijing Institute of Technology can't install two TCM production lines, can they?" Fang Yan said to him.

Upon hearing this in dialect, Lao Hu was taken aback, then slapped his forehead:

"Oh yeah! Look at my brain, how could I forget about them!"

There are two more powerful figures in the house, but I haven't used them except for the time I made the moxibustion box.

Next, Lao Hu talked about the casting for the TV series in Hong Kong, which was also completed.

The cast list is now available.

The script for the dialect TV series was written by my younger brother, and the lead actor in the dialect was Zhang Guorong, who played the male lead Jia Baoyu in "Dream of the Red Chamber: Springtime".

He was ten months younger than Fang Yan, and that year he also released his first solo English album, "Day Dreaming".

Fang Yan then realized that by 1978, those familiar faces from Hong Kong films had begun to emerge.

I have no objection to this decision regarding dialect.

After chatting with Lao Hu for a while, Fang Yan started cooking.

Recently, my family has been cooking very bland food to cater to the pregnant woman's tastes.

With two pregnant women present today, the food served in the local dialect was even more bland.

The only dish served to others was a cold dish of shredded pig's ears.

When everything was almost done, my older sister rode back on her bike.

Fang Yan urged everyone to prepare for dinner.

The chicken soup hadn't been simmering for long enough, so Fangyan let everyone eat the prepared dishes first.

By the time we were almost finished eating, the chicken soup was almost done too.

Everyone got a bowl of chicken soup, which had a strong ginseng flavor. There are many people in the family who use their brains a lot, and they all felt refreshed after drinking it.

When the older sister left, Fang Yan also brought a thermos so that she could take some with her younger brother, and also some snacks and side dishes so that she could share them with her roommates.

They'll all be big names in the legal field in the future. Let's lay a foundation today, and then invite them over for dinner sometime later.

After we finished eating and started cleaning up, there was a knock on Fang Yan's door.

When I opened the door, I was surprised to find that it was Xiao Li.

He has recently started filming "Once Upon a Time in China", so he should be quite busy.

There must be something on my mind for you to come here today.

After some questioning, Fang Yan learned that the young man had accidentally injured actress Zhao Yazhi while filming a fight scene with other actors.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yan recalled the historical incident where Xiao Li accidentally elbowed actress Li Jiaxin in "Swordsman II," causing her face to become deformed.

Wow, so this is an old tradition.

He awkwardly said to Fang Yan:

"Junior Uncle, I've come here seeking medicine. Is there anything that can help reduce the swelling on the actress's face quickly so it won't affect filming?"

"Face again?" Fang Yan asked in surprise.

Xiao Li was a little confused and asked:

"Huh? Junior Uncle, why did you say 'again'?"

PS: The basic chapter of 6000 words is now complete. There will be an extra chapter later.

(End of this chapter)
