Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 111: Collecting Interest on Gift Lightbulbs

"Wenjie, go and guard the gate. If Dr. Zhao comes back, quickly bring him to our house. Don't let him go to the Feng family in the front yard. Got it?"

While Feng Danian was discussing with his father Feng Baoyin how and what gifts to give, He Wenhao had already arranged for his ten-year-old brother to guard the door.

Of course He Wenhao was unwilling to give up, he also wanted to have a job.

He also learned from his father that if he worked hard at the musk deer farm and performed well enough, he could earn an apprenticeship salary in just three months.

You can become a regular employee in just half a year and become a first-level employee, or even higher.

His father, He Yuancun, was a first-class worker in the steel plant, and his monthly salary was only 33 yuan.

This means that as long as He Wenhao really becomes an apprentice at the musk deer breeding farm, he may soon be able to get the monthly salary of 32 yuan for a first-level breeder.

Why is he in such a hurry?
That was because he had previously thought that with his junior high school education, he had a great chance of passing the interview.

As for the breeding experience written in the recruitment requirements, who wouldn't think it's nonsense?
Most people born in the 1950s had some experience in animal husbandry. Many people in the city’s courtyard houses had raised chickens, ducks, and geese.

Before liberation, He Wenhao's family raised several chickens. At that time, he raised them together with his younger brothers and sisters. It can be said that he had rich experience in breeding.

As a result, I was rejected during the interview.

Breeding experience is very important, otherwise Zhao Mancang would not have deliberately raised this as an interview requirement.

According to the principle of selecting the best from the best, He Wenhao would naturally not be chosen.

What's more, He Wenhao wanted to compete fairly, but had he asked Wu Huamin?
Don’t want to use money, just want to pass the interview with your own ability?

Want to eat fart!

There aren't many people in the entire capital who have a high school diploma and are unemployed, but there are definitely quite a few.

So why don’t these high school students want to work?
It’s not that they don’t want to, but they can’t take off Kong Yiji’s long gown, which has become the biggest obstacle to their development.

As early as February of last year, that is, February 1957, a social debate triggered by "Xia Kewei's Letter" attracted the attention of more young people.

The cause was very simple. A young man named Xia Kewei wrote a letter to "Literary and Art Studies" entitled "A Letter to Writers Mao Dun and Zhao Shuli". In the letter, he expressed his writing ideals. It was just an ordinary letter.

The reason why it is ordinary is that after the founding of "Literary and Art Studies", that is, in 1954, the editorial department once stated that it had received tens of thousands of manuscripts from middle school students.

These manuscripts were accompanied by a letter stating that the author was a junior high school student around 16 or 17 years old, was interested in writing, wanted to be a writer, and hoped for guidance from the editorial department.

In other words, throughout the 1950s, there were many young people who could not take off the long gown of Kong Yiji, and they dreamed every day of becoming famous overnight and becoming a great writer.

Why become a writer?

Because writers receive high royalties and have a very high social status, and their working hours are flexible and there are no restrictions.

Not only can you make a rich life by earning royalties, but you can also make a name for yourself and improve your social status through writing. It's really killing two birds with one stone.

Then in February 1957, "Literary and Art Studies" published an article by the writer Zhao Shuli: "Don't have so many fantasies - a letter to Xia Kewei, a classmate of Changsha Geological School."

It was because of this letter that many social realities were revealed.

In addition, in April 1957, the People's Daily also published an editorial entitled "On the Participation of Primary and Secondary School Graduates in Agricultural Production", which further pointed out the direction for young students to choose their paths.

It is not difficult to see from the above that at this point in time, the number of junior high school students and elementary school students is already very high.

And this trend is also seen among high school students.

why?

That was because the domestic population was too large and industrial development was too slow at the time. There were simply not enough jobs to supply so many elementary school, middle school and high school graduates every year.

Given the historical context, why didn't He Wenhao give gifts directly to Zhao Mancang or Wu Huamin?
After all, the He family is not without money. He Wenhao's mother, Cao Liyun, is a sixth-level noodle maker, with a monthly salary of 64.40 yuan, plus his father, He Yuancun's monthly salary of 33 yuan.

This salary level was the highest among all households in the entire No. 18 Courtyard before Zhao Mancang received two salaries.

He Wenhao was just too confident. Since he only had a junior high school education, he thought the job of a breeder apprentice was very easy. That was why he thought that with his abilities and education, he could easily pass the interview and there was no need to waste money on gifts.

At most, I would invite Zhao Mancang to dinner.

Unexpectedly, I was rejected.

Now that he knows that breeder apprentices can be converted to regular employees very quickly and may even get a second or third level salary soon, how can He Wenhao just sit still?

Even though this job requires traveling to Jundushan, more than 50 kilometers away, I can only come back to the city one day off a week.

But He Wenhao also wanted to get this job quickly.

Wei Jianguo had the same idea as him. At the suggestion of his father Wei Hongzhou, he even asked his mother Zheng Yuxia to go to Zhao Mancang's house first to get closer to Lin Wan and give the gift away.

So, while Zhao Mancang was still halfway there, the neighbors in Courtyard No. 18 were already making their own plans.

"Aunt Wei, I can't accept this gift."

In the Zhao family's east wing in the central courtyard, Lin Wan hurriedly pushed the box on the table over and politely refused.

This gift is too hot!
Inside the box was a gold bracelet, a large yellow croaker and five small yellow croakers.

The current domestic gold purchase price is three yuan and four cents per gram. The weight of a large yellow croaker made in the Republic of China is 312.5 grams, and that of a small yellow croaker is 31.25 grams.

The total weight of the gold in this box is about 508 grams.

In other words, the total value of the box is about 1,544 yuan.

Obviously, this amount of money is definitely the largest deposit in Wei Hongzhou's family.

Of course, Wei Hongzhou was able to occupy the best northern house in Courtyard No. 18, which was the best house in the courtyard.

As a seventh-level mechanical worker in the steel plant, he can get 84.5 yuan per month. There are only six people in his family, so it is not a problem for him to support his family, and he can even have a lot of money left over.

Moreover, Wei Hongzhou's four children were different from the children in Yard No. 18 and other nearby courtyards. They were relatively plump and good-looking. This was because Wei Jianguo and his children were well-nourished, so they were not as thin as the other children.

From this point of view, Wei Hongzhou's family has always been a relatively wealthy family in the past and now.

Therefore, it is not surprising that their family can come up with gold worth more than 1,500 yuan.

"Xiao Lin, I'm also an experienced person, and we all know that you married a good man like Dr. Zhao."

Zheng Yuxia smiled and pushed the box back, then continued:

"But we all know Dr. Zhao's experience. He didn't save any money before, and now he can't buy a gold bracelet, so this is for you, Xiaolin."

"As women, who wouldn't want a gold bracelet like this?"

"In the past, gold bracelets were..."

Lin Huijun, who was standing aside, stared at the box with bright eyes, but her expression was full of doubt: Why were my mother and aunt pushing the box to each other?

The box was filled with golden things, one of which was the same gold bracelet as the one on her mother's wrist. It was very beautiful and she wanted it very much.

Of course, the little greedy cat was more envious of another box of gifts on the table, because it was a box of peach cakes.

Just as Lin Huijun's eyes were rolling around, Zheng Yuxia's voice suddenly stopped. Why?
Because when Lin Wan pushed the box back to her again, Zheng Yuxia had already seen the golden bracelet flash on her wrist.

Zheng Yuxia was not old and had blurry eyesight. She could see very clearly that the golden thing on Lin Wan's wrist was a gold bracelet.

Although there is only one light bulb in Zhao Mancang's house, it is a 40-watt light bulb, which is definitely the brightest light bulb in the entire No. 18 Courtyard.

Just for this light bulb, the monthly electricity bill is 40 cents.

luxury!

So how could Zheng Yuxia not see such bright lights?

It was because she saw it clearly that Zheng Yuxia was stunned and could not believe her eyes.

"Xiao Lin, was that a gold bracelet you were wearing on your wrist just now? Can I take a look at it?"

Lin Wan smiled slightly when she heard this and shook her head.
"Auntie, you must have seen it wrong. I don't have any gold bracelets. For now, my husband should be getting off work soon. Auntie, please sit down first. I'm going to go heat up the food."

This was undoubtedly an order to expel the guest, and Zheng Yuxia could not have failed to understand it.

Immediately, Zheng Yuxia had no choice but to stand up with a wry smile and leave in a hurry.

She did not take the two boxes on the table.

Even if Lin Wan chased her with the box, she would run away as if escaping.

A gift given away is like water poured out, how can it be taken back?
Don’t worry about it, just send it out.

Seeing his mother Zheng Yuxia coming back empty-handed, Wei Jianguo was overjoyed.

Wei Hongzhou was calmer. After all, he knew the value of the gold in the box. How could a little girl like Lin Wan possibly withstand it?
After his wife sat down, Wei Hongzhou asked Zheng Yuxia for relevant details.

The latter said that Lin Wan had been refusing because she ran fast and Lin Wan couldn't catch up, so this happened.

I was just worried that Zhao Mancang would come back later and might have to return the gift.

She also saw a gold bracelet on Lin Wan's wrist, and she didn't know if it was bought for her by Zhao Mancang.

As soon as these words came out, Wei Jianguo immediately became furious:
"Mom, why do you do things this way? Dad, please help me think of a solution. I really want that job."

"Be quiet!" Wei Hongzhou glared at his boss unhappily and said:
"Are you anxious now? What were you doing before? I asked you to try that temporary job, but you said you didn't want to go."

"Dad, can you please stop bringing up the past? I know I was wrong."

Wei Jianguo hurriedly explained that he didn't dare say anything else and make his father angry again.

After all, the temporary workers recruited by the steel plant's breeding room are really just temporary workers, and it is still a question whether they can become formal apprentices.

But the situation is completely different for the apprentice breeder at the musk deer farm. Wei Jianguo is too eager to get this job.

Just as the Wei family was thinking of a solution, Zhao Mancang had already rode his bicycle back to the Guangliang gate of Courtyard No. 18.

"Brother Zhao, you're back, hurry up."

As soon as he got off the car, Zhao Mancang saw He Wenjie squatting at the door. The other party looked so anxious that he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He wondered if something had happened at home again?

It's like having paranoia!!!
In fact, Zhao Mancang really had such concerns. After all, he didn't know when Zou Tianyun and Zhao Mantang would make another stupid move against him.

After all, ever since the last time Li Dahua instigated Liu Changan to sabotage Zhao Mancang's marriage certificate, and Du Wenbin instigated Jin Wenjian to steal from Zhao Mancang's house, and was later dealt with by Zhao Mancang, he has calmed down a lot.

Zhao Mancang wasn't sure if this was the calm before the storm, or if Zou Tianyun and Zhao Mantang were busy with something else and couldn't get away. In any case, things had indeed calmed down a lot recently.

You know, he went to the Northeast to hunt musk deer, which delayed him for about ten days. After he came back, nothing happened these days.

If murder was not illegal and he did not want to let Zou Tianyun and Zhao Mantang get away with it so easily, Zhao Mancang would have killed them long ago.

Following He Wenjie into the front yard, just when Zhao Mancang was about to enter the main hall, Uncle Feng Baoyin and his eldest son Feng Danian appeared.

"Doctor Zhao, you're back. Why are you so late today? Why don't you come to my house for a hot meal?"

As he spoke, Feng Baoyin stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Mancang's arm, and at the same time asked his eldest brother to help park Zhao Mancang's bicycle.

The father and son, one on the left and one on the right, cooperated very well. As for He Wenjie?

Who cares about this ten-year-old kid?

In order to give Zhao Mancang a gift and get Zhao Mancang to help arrange a job, Feng Baoyin and his son took great pains.

In fact, they are just ordinary families, and it is normal for them to be frugal.

They will only try to please others when it is profitable, otherwise they will not do so.

The main reason was that Zhao Mancang had only moved into Courtyard No. 18 less than three months ago, and neighbors like Feng Baoyin had no time to please him.

Moreover, when they first moved in, no one was sure about Zhao Mancang's personality and character, and then Jin Yuanzhi's family started to take action.

So everyone is busy eating melons, how can they care about so many things?

Then Zhao Mancang grew very fast, and before everyone could react, opportunities appeared one after another.

As a result, Feng Baoyin and others had no choice but to try to get closer to Zhao Mancang as if it were a last-minute effort. At the same time, they could only be a little vulgar and achieve their own goals by giving gifts.

"Uncle Feng, I have something else to do and need to go home first. I won't worry about dinner yet."

Zhao Mancang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He finally understood why He Wenjie was waiting for him at the Guangliang gate.

Although Feng Baoyin and his son did not say clearly what the matter was, as the saying goes, if someone shows kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Zhao Mancang also knew that the Feng family was not wealthy and Uncle Feng was not a generous person. How could he invite him to dinner for no reason?

After politely rejecting Feng Baoyin and his son, Zhao Mancang pushed his bicycle to the Central Courtyard.

He Wenjie still wanted to pull Zhao Mancang back to the He family, but how could the latter agree?
Now that I’m at my doorstep, I must go home first.

When I parked my bike, Lin Huijun had already run out.

"father!"

The little greedy cat's crisp words made Zhao Mancang smile.

Although Lin Huijun is not his biological daughter, Zhao Mancang treats her well and has even arranged her future path in his mind.

In the future, Lin Huijun will have to help take care of his children and even tutor them with their homework.

Therefore, Lin Huijun, who is already four years old, should start to be well trained.

"I'm back. Come wash your hands and have dinner. The food is already heated up."

Lin Wan also came out, looking at Zhao Mancang and the little greedy cat in his arms with a gentle smile, her heart soft.

Zhao Mancang nodded, walked in holding Lin Huijun, and soon saw the two boxes of gifts on the table. He immediately asked curiously.

"It was sent by Aunt Wei next door. I don't know why she gave me such an expensive gift. She didn't say anything," Lin Wan explained distressedly.

"I guessed it. Let's eat first. I'll deal with this matter later."

The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.

Hearing him say this, Lin Wan also nodded.

After dinner, Zhao Mancang picked up the two boxes of gifts and went directly to the north wing of the Wei family.

When Wei Jianguo saw Zhao Mancang coming to his house with gifts, his eyelids started twitching, fearing that he would really lose his job.

On the contrary, his father, Wei Hongzhou, was already an old hand. He was relatively calm and smiling, making it impossible for others to tell what he was thinking.

"Uncle Wei, let me get straight to the point. My wife just told me that Auntie gave us two boxes of gifts. These gifts are a bit expensive, and we dare not accept them."

Zhao Mancang did not hesitate to state his purpose directly. He placed the two boxes of gifts directly on their dining table and then prepared to say goodbye and leave.

However, Wei Hongzhou still invited him to sit down and have a drink first.

If we were to ask who knows how to enjoy life the most in the entire No. 18 Courtyard, it would undoubtedly be Wei Hongzhou.

There are only two fat men in the entire No. 18 Courtyard, one is Wei Hongzhou and the other is Cao Liyun.

That’s right, Cao Liyun, the sixth-level noodle maker, is also fat, of course, not as fat as Wei Hongzhou.

As a fat person, I can eat a lot and I may be good at eating.

Wei Hongzhou put a bottle of Bamboo Leaf Green aside and asked his wife Zheng Yuxia to take out a bottle of Fenjiu from the house. This was definitely a high-end product.

The labels on the Bamboo Leaf Green are very old, so this should be bulk dried melon wine sold in the supply and marketing cooperative, not the real Bamboo Leaf Green wine.

The Fenjiu is unopened and the label is very new. It looks like it was just bought a short time ago.

"Mancang, you've been living in Courtyard 18 for a while now, but you haven't had a drink with us neighbors yet. How about you do me a favor and have a drink with me today?"

Wei Hongzhou put himself in a very humble position and said with a gentle smile while pouring wine for Zhao Mancang.

It seems that he is asking for Zhao Mancang's opinion, but in fact he has already made the decision for Zhao Mancang.

After all, Wei Hongzhou had already opened the wine before Zhao Mancang opened his mouth, which already showed his attitude.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Zhao Mancang had already guessed the other party's intention, so he simply sat down and chatted with him.

"You often drink with our factory leaders, so you probably can't get used to my drinking, right? Come on, let's clink glasses first!"

At this time, Wei Hongzhou opened his mouth to compliment, but he saw that his boss Wei Jianguo was still sitting there in a daze, not even taking the initiative to pour wine, which was really stupid.

On the contrary, the three siblings Wei Jianjun, Wei Shumin and Wei Yuanchao were all staring at the snacks on the table, their saliva drying up.

Because they had been watching it all night, but they couldn't eat, because this was not prepared for them.

Although Wei Hongzhou and Zheng Yuxia were willing to feed their four siblings food on weekdays, such as some pastries from Guixiang Village, they were never short of food when they were young.

But even so, Wei Jianjun and his other children were still envious of the cooked food such as the pig head on the table, because they were all meat.

Ever since the capital city announced the arrival of the ticket era, material control in the entire capital city has become more stringent.

Basic supplies like rice, flour, grain, and oil are particularly under the strictest control. Meat, for example, is scarce to begin with, with a monthly ration of only five ounces per person. Over the course of a year, a person would only get six pounds of pork at most.

How little!
Even though Wei Hongzhou had a high salary, he could only eat out at state-owned restaurants a few times a month at most.

Even if it's too much, Wei Hongzhou still can't afford it with his salary.

"Uncle Wei, you are such a joke. This is Fenjiu, three yuan a bottle. I can't bear to buy it."

Zhao Mancang agreed modestly, and Wei Hongzhou was still complimenting him.

"Several times I've seen the cafeteria's purchasing agent, Jiang Dayong, bringing back fine liquors like Wuliangye and Moutai. Don't tell me you've never tried them."

Wuliangye is one of the best-selling liquors in China. It has the characteristics of long-lasting aroma, mellow taste and sweet taste. It is rated as the number one liquor in China by many wine tasting experts.

Although Moutai is the national liquor, Wuliangye is still more awesome.

The reason why Moutai is so awesome is because of the Long March, while Wuliangye relies entirely on its own strength.

So for people who like to drink, Wuliangye is of course more popular.

In other words, Wuliangye and Moutai are currently the top-tier liquors in China.

However, Wuliangye and Moutai are only very impressive in terms of grade and price, but in fact, in the hearts of ordinary people, in terms of sales volume, Xifeng Liquor, Fenjiu, Jingzhi Laobai Gan, Zhuyeqing, and Huaibei Kouzi Liquor are the strongest kings.

In fact, before the 1980s, the real king of liquor should be Fenjiu.

After chatting with Wei Hongzhou for a while, Zhao Mancang saw that the other party was still talking about other things, so he couldn't help but look at his wrist.

Of course, his little action did not escape Wei Hongzhou's eyes.

Just when Wei Hongzhou thought Zhao Mancang had lost his patience, he heard the latter say:
"Uncle Wei, I just came back from the musk deer farm today. I rode a horse for more than half an hour and I'm very tired. I'll be busy tomorrow and for a while, so if there's nothing else, I'll go back and rest."

The other party didn't want to get straight to the point, and Zhao Mancang was too lazy to respond, so he prepared to escape.

Upon hearing this, Wei Hongzhou was stunned for a moment, then he immediately stood up and comforted Zhao Mancang first, then said to his boss Wei Jianguo:

"You little brat, why don't you quickly pour some wine for your brother Zhao? You're so stupid! If I don't tell you, you won't move, right?"

"Mancang, don't mind me. Jianguo may be a little dull, but he's been very smart since he was a child."

Zhao Mancang thought to himself, why should I mind?

On the surface, he quickly stopped and said that he didn't mind.

"Just now, Mancang, you mentioned the musk deer breeding farm. I'm curious, is it really that difficult to raise such a tiny musk deer?"

Without waiting for Zhao Mancang to answer, Wei Hongzhou immediately said:
"Look, Mancang, my Jianguo is already seventeen years old this year and still doesn't have a formal job, but he is definitely a down-to-earth and capable child. I heard that the number of apprentices you trained increased by six yesterday. Can you see if you can recommend our Jianguo as well?"

"Don't worry!"

Wei Hongzhou spoke quickly, looking at Zhao Mancang expectantly:
"Jianguo still dares to disobey you. You don't have to give me face. Just beat him to death."

"Take these two boxes back. Your aunt has already given them to Xiaolin. They are Xiaolin's things now. You can't take them back."

After a series of moves, an average person would have taken it reluctantly.

But what about Zhao Mancang?

Before he could even open his mouth to speak, someone arrived at the Wei family's door.

It was He Yuancun, Cao Liyun, and He Wenhao, a family of three. They walked in with smiles on their faces and said they were bothering me, but they walked in calmly.

With the arrival of the He family, Wei Hongzhou's expression suddenly became serious.

Zheng Yuxia's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly stood up to greet He Yuancun's family, as if she wanted to send them away quickly.

It’s a pity that now that they are here, how can they leave easily?
Unless Zhao Mancang also leaves the Wei family, He Yuancun and his family of three will definitely not leave.

During the struggle, Feng Baoyin also came over with Feng Danian.

Well, now the Wei family is in big trouble.

The noise soon became very loud and attracted the attention of many other neighbors, such as Mei Xuesong and his sister, the Ma family, Old Lady Liu and others.

In other words, except for Luo Caixia's family in the front yard and the Jin family in the back yard, almost every family in Yard 18 had someone come.

Even Lin Wan came over with Lin Huijun in her arms to join in the fun, feeling that tonight's event was quite interesting.

Zhao Mancang, who was in the crowd, was even more speechless.

They are all idiots!

If this gets out of hand, even if Zhao Mancang originally wanted to agree to let Wei Jianguo, He Wenhao and Feng Danian off and arrange for them to go in, he wouldn't dare to do that now.

It was so grand and everyone knew about it.

Even if the neighbors didn't see the gold in the box, they are not fools, so how could they not guess it?

Therefore, Zhao Mancang now just watched them make trouble, and he had already left the center of the vortex of the Wei family.

Once he left, Wei Hongzhou and the others could no longer make trouble.

"What a bunch of idiots."

After everyone left, Wei Hongzhou asked his wife to close the door and cursed angrily.

"Secrecy is the key to success. He Yuancun and Feng Baoyin are both idiots. How could they not understand this principle?"

"You still come to my house to make trouble? Now everything is ruined, and everyone is out of work."

Wei Hongzhou was very angry at this time.

Wei Jianguo was dejected and said in frustration:
"Dad, why is Zhao Mancang unwilling to accept our gift? Does he think we give too little?"

"Bullshit!" Wei Hongzhou immediately became even more angry:

"That's 1,500 yuan worth of gold. Isn't that a small gift? It's just an apprenticeship as a breeder, and I have to work in Jundu Mountain. This price is more than enough."

"Besides, it's not that he despises our gifts, but he won't accept them because the neighbors know about it."

It is said that things must be done in secrecy!
The neighbors knew about the gift-giving, and even if Zhao Mancang was brave, he would not dare to accept it at this time.

So this opportunity is destined to be missed.

"Then what about our Jianguo's job?" Zheng Yuxia asked worriedly. Wei Hongzhou said unhappily:

"What else can I do? I can just sit back and wait for other opportunities, or wait and see if Zhao Mancang has any work arrangements next time."

In Wei Hongzhou's opinion, Zhao Mancang was responsible for two projects in just over two months, so it seemed reasonable to take on another project.

Just when Wei Hongzhou was angry, He Yuancun and Feng Baoyin's families were also very angry.

It’s just that their focus is different.

Especially Feng Baoyin, the gift he could give was worth at most a few hundred dollars.

Feng Baoyin knew that Wei Hongzhou was rich, and the gift he gave out was probably worth thousands.

So he had to disrupt the deal between Wei Hongzhou and Zhao Mancang.

As for He Yuancun's family, his son He Wenhao is only sixteen years old, there is no need to rush!

That night, the neighbors in Courtyard No. 18 were all discussing this matter.

After Zhao Mancang returned home, he reminded Lin Wan not to accept gifts from others.

Especially for Lin Huijun, Zhao Mancang told her not to accept gifts from other children, and to just go directly to him and her mother if she wanted to eat.

Although Lin Huijun was a little greedy, especially craving delicious snacks, meat and other foods, she was very well-behaved and obedient, and agreed immediately.

Silent all night.

Although it was quite late after finishing the fill-in-the-blank exercises with Lin Wan last night, Zhao Mancang still got up at 4:30 in the morning and went out.

Early this morning, I finally managed to catch up with Zou Tianyun.

It turned out that this grandson went to the toilet in advance because he was afraid that someone would be waiting for him again.

Bang!
Following behind Zou Tianyun, Zhao Mancang knocked the other person unconscious with one punch.

"I wonder how you can escape this time?"

This time, Zhao Mancang did not intend to let the other party go so easily.

According to the accidental fall, Zhao Mancang gave Zou Tianyun several hard blows and even used a wooden board to cut a shallow cut on the latter's thigh.

Then throw the other person into the cesspool.

With the bacteria infection from the pit, he must be in trouble.

After finishing all this, Zhao Mancang left.

When he arrived at No. 7 Qinglong Hutong, God opened his eyes and finally let him meet his cheap elder brother.

The last time I met Zhao Mantang was at Lao Mo Restaurant. At that time, Zhao Mancang and Lin Wan were preparing to have a big meal and we met by chance.

After lurking around this cheap big brother, Zhao Mancang used the same trick again and knocked his big brother unconscious by imitating him.

However, unlike Zou Tianyun, the way to deal with Zhao Mantang is to pretend to be robbed.

Generally speaking, few people would bring money when they get up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, but Zhao Mantang is an exception.

Yesterday was the 28th, and now it is the early morning of the 29th, which means it has only been a few days since the salary was paid.

There was indeed a lot of money and bills in Zhao Mantang's pocket. He had put all this money in his pocket last night.

It just so happens that I’ll just grab it.

Then they beat him up again and disguised the scene to make it look like a dispute and fight. Only then did Zhao Mancang leave with satisfaction.

Soon, it was daybreak, and Zhao Mantang, naked, was discovered by his neighbors.

The aunt's scream did not wake up Zhao Mantang, but instead scared the old man who was going to the toilet nearby and made him wet his pants pocket.

"Hurry up and tell Aunt Lin why her son is lying here naked."

The neighbors naturally knew Zhao Mantang, so someone immediately ran to find Lin Shuyi.

what! ! !
Zhao Mantang also woke up and found himself naked, surrounded by more than a dozen neighbors. At this moment, he wished he could dig a hole and bury himself.

Lin Shuyi, Guo Ran and the others came over. After seeing his mother and wife, Zhao Mantang's inner shame almost made him explode.

This time, Zhao Mantang became completely famous.

He became famous throughout Qinglong Hutong and the nearby tenements.

Like him, Zou Tianyun also became famous. He fell into a pit of feces again, and Zou Tianyun was hospitalized because of injury and infection and had to be treated in the hospital.

The two of them can be said to be brothers in distress. They became famous together. One of them had mental problems and needed to rest and adjust at home, while the other was hospitalized.

Zhao Mancang was much happier because they were so miserable.

Courtyard No. 18 of Huguo Temple was exceptionally quiet in the early morning, completely different from usual.

Such a strange atmosphere was naturally due to what happened last night. Wei Hongzhou's family was very angry that He Yuancun and Feng Baoyin's families came to make trouble and disrupted the transaction between his Wei family and Zhao Mancang.

He Yuancun had no intention of causing trouble, but Feng Baoyin was desperate and accidentally made a big fuss, letting all the neighbors know about it.

It's normal for neighbors to have conflicts.

But Zhao Mancang was too lazy to get angry about it.

Of course he would be happy if he could make some money.

But if he couldn't get it, he wouldn't be so angry or even take his anger out on Feng Baoyin.

That's not necessary!
Anyway, in a few days, he will move to the courtyard house near the Friendship Hotel on Zhongguancun South Street, and he will have less contact with his neighbors near Huguo Temple in the future.

Just like the neighbors in Yongheng Hutong, after he left, they no longer had any contact with each other.

After all, the relationship was just ordinary and they were not relatives, so there was no need to maintain such a relationship.

After breakfast, Zhao Mancang went to work.

"Teacher Zhao, good morning. Have you eaten?"

On the way, Zhao Mancang met Mei Xiye who was also riding a bicycle.

Zhao Mancang didn't expect that Mei Xiye, a doctor who had just graduated from a medical university, was actually riding a bicycle, and it was a women's bicycle.

Bicycles are hard to come by and quite expensive, and women's bicycles are even harder to come by.

why?
Because the market is small, but there are many buyers.

Many lesbians and teenagers are the customer base of women's bicycles.

So since Mei Xiye can ride a bicycle to work, her family must be quite wealthy.

"Good morning."

After greeting the other party, Zhao Mancang wanted to go first, after all, the other party should not be riding fast.

However, Mei Xiye was quite studious and kept pestering him to ask some medical questions.

She is indeed a very studious female comrade. Zhao Mancang thinks that he should not meet her again next time. He doesn’t want to talk about work after get off work.

There was nothing to do in the breeding room today, so Zhao Mancang took a look around and then went back to the clinic.

There weren't many people in the clinic. When Zhao Mancang walked into the office, he saw Mei Xiye was about to start the consultation.

After the other party finished examining the patient and brought out a treatment prescription, Zhao Mancang smiled and made a few comments.

It can be seen that Mei Xiye has a relatively good memory and a high level of medical knowledge, but because of this, she is relatively lacking in experience.

why?

It's just a bit rigid and I don't know how to integrate it.

The prescriptions given are basically fixed textbook-style prescriptions, with not much variation.

When consulting a Chinese medicine practitioner, each person’s condition is different, so the prescription cannot be exactly the same.

It’s impossible to say that the diseases in the textbooks are exactly the same as the diseases encountered in reality, right?

After instructing Mei Xiye, Zhao Mancang had some free time again.

At this time, a worker came in from outside. He came in with a crutch. After sitting down, he began to talk about why his foot was injured.

"Are your feet numb?"

Mei Xiye asked for medical advice immediately, wanting to determine the specific extent of the other person's leg injury.

In later generations, when the nerves of the legs were injured by machinery, and the symptoms of the specific injury were not clear from the outside, they were basically diagnosed after taking an X-ray.

How could we film at this time?
So Mei Xiye could only make a judgment based on the medical interview.

"what?"

The worker was confused at this time. He didn't know whether he didn't hear clearly or the doctor was wrong. He just stood there in a daze.

"Are your feet numb?"

Seeing this, Mei Xiye couldn't help but ask again, her attitude still gentle and without any sign of impatience.

This time, the worker did hear it clearly, but he was also even more confused.

What? You have to call the other person mom when you are seeing a doctor?
That's too much.

There was a piercing pain in the worker's foot because Mei Xiye touched his foot, which made the worker gasp.

Good guy, you started to bully me because I didn’t call you mom, right?
So the worker made up his mind, took a deep breath, and said:

"mom!"

puff! ! !
Mei Xiye didn't react at first, but Zhao Mancang next to her was so happy that his mouth was crooked with laughter.

PS: I still need more than a hundred monthly tickets to reach one thousand, please give me the monthly tickets!
