Chapter 127, Report

Steel plant, health center.

Zhao Mancang walked into his office, followed by Mei Xiye, Guan Changchun, He Zhongyong, Yi Guohua and others. Their faces were full of admiration and respect, and their attentiveness was almost turning into flattery.

In the past, Mei Xiye and the others had heard about the craniotomy and heart repair performed by Zhao Mancang from others, and they had not seen it with their own eyes.

So although everyone admires him, they are not completely convinced.

But things are different now.

The emergency case that occurred the night before yesterday happened right under everyone's noses, and it attracted doctors such as Qu Guochun, Feng Changfu, Li Jinxiong, Tian Huayi, Sergei Salyukov, and even the old doctor Hua Yunlong, a full-time doctor at the Health Bureau, came.

It is conceivable how much of a sensation the limb replantation surgery performed by Zhao Mancang the night before yesterday caused.

Yesterday, Zhao Mancang rested, but Guan Changchun and others stayed in the health center for a whole day, and many doctors came one after another.

Even many professors from He Zhongyong, Yi Guohua, Mei Xiye and other schools came, as well as several people who were said to be big names in the domestic medical field came to see the novelty.

As time went by, Guan Changchun, Mei Xiye, Yi Guohua and others became more and more impressed, venerated and adored by Zhao Mancang with this earth-shattering event.

There is a saying that goes, "The one who is closest to the water gets the moon first!"
Zhao Mancang is now in the steel plant health center, and Guan Changchun and others are Zhao Mancang's colleagues. It would be a waste if we don't take this opportunity to deepen our relationship.

There is no order of learning, the master is the teacher.

What's more, Zhao Mancang's current medical skills are really amazing.

"Doctor Zhao, please drink some water."

Guan Changchun was completely shameless. He came to the health center early this morning and cleaned Zhao Mancang's cup, disinfected it with boiling water, and then filled it with water and took it back to the office.

He was so attentive, but he didn't say it in front of Zhao Mancang. He just thought of "silently nourishing things" and believed that Zhao Mancang would always see his sincere side.

"Doctor Guan, you don't have to be like this. Just do what you normally do. Go back to work and stop crowding around me. There are several other patients waiting to be seen in the waiting area."

Zhao Mancang asked Guan Changchun to put down the cup of water with a smile on his face.

He was not blind, so of course he could see that his office was cleaner and tidier than before. There were even flowers on his desk, giving the whole office a faint fragrance.

However, the more this happened, the more speechless Zhao Mancang became.

In fact, he had long known about the admiration and worship of people like Guan Changchun.

The system gave him a lot of experience points yesterday. To be honest, his experience points have also increased a lot in the past two days since he came back, but the biggest increase was still the night before yesterday and yesterday.

There's no way around it. A limb replantation surgery is quite impressive. It's just a coincidence.

However, no matter how much the experience points increased, the system balance was still consumed a lot.

Because the limb replantation surgery still requires experience points, the more than 3,000 experience points that Zhao Mancang had accumulated in Sichuan and Shu were suddenly reduced by 1,500.

There is still a long way to go before the remaining balance of 10,000 experience points is reached.

"Doctor Zhao, can I also learn from you?"

Guan Changchun didn't say anything, but He Zhongyong asked. Yi Guohua nodded in agreement with a flattering look, wanting to get guidance from Zhao Mancang like Mei Xiye.

Zhao Mancang heard this and shook his head:

"Minor illnesses like these require your own understanding, not relying on me, and I can't teach you much."

"Major surgeries, or those involving difficult and complicated illnesses, require you to accumulate experience and think deeply every day. You must be dedicated to studying medicine. There are no shortcuts, and you must be down-to-earth."

"Don't envy me. Although I came from a different background, I've read as many medical books as you have, and even more than you can imagine."

Zhao Mancang did not say more, but chose to stop there.

Regarding his own experience, I believe any steel plant worker is very clear that Zhao Mancang read a lot of books back then.

You know, he married his ex-wife Huang Xiuling eight years ago, and his ex-mother-in-law Huang Miao was already a dying woman at that time.

In order to treat Huang Miao, Zhao Mancang did read a lot of medical books.

Of course, it's useless.

After all, the 1950s are not the future. In the future, any information you want can be easily obtained from the Internet.

It can be said that there is a 'doctor' per capita!
In the 1950s, knowledge was still very expensive because it was really hard to obtain.

He Zhongyong, Yi Guohua and Guan Changchun all smiled and nodded, looking like good students who were about to be taught.

When they left the office, they cast envious glances at Mei Xiye.

Mei Xiye is really lucky to be able to study under Zhao Mancang.

In the office, Mei Xiye sat opposite Zhao Mancang and said with a smile:
"Teacher Zhao, I am so happy to have you as my teacher."

"You are happy too early. Hurry up and get to work, Xiaoxi. Call someone in."

Zhao Mancang smiled and gave instructions to Liu Xiaoxi beside him. The latter also smiled, turned around and went out to call the patients to come for treatment.

This is his daily routine, and this may be Zhao Mancang’s working mode in the future.

Of course, if you stay in a steel mill, it is actually quite easy.

After all, although the steel plant seems to have a lot of people, in fact there are not many people coming for treatment, because in institutions like the Union Hospital in the city, no one knows where people from where will go directly to the hospital for treatment.

This is the difference between ordinary hospitals and company hospitals. Company hospitals are relatively purer and less complicated.

However, because of this, the probability of the unit hospital encountering difficult and complicated diseases will be much lower, and there is no way to change this.

Mei Xiye smiled happily when she heard this.

In the next half hour, Zhao Mancang guided Mei Xiye to see five patients, and then finished his work this morning.

There weren't many patients in the waiting area, so the work was completed quickly.

After finishing work, Zhao Mancang read a book at his seat for a while. It was past nine o'clock when he left the clinic.

In the morning, Xing Shuqi had already said that he would go to the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army.

I guess it's just a formality.

Inside the city, in a conference room at the PLA General Hospital.

When Zhao Mancang, Xing Shuqi and others came in, there were already several people sitting inside.

Vice President Hua Yunlong was also there, and even Hong Wumin, Pei Shouzhi, Li Jinxiong and others whom Zhao Mancang had met before were there.

However, there were only Hua Yunlong, Hong Wumin and Xu Changkun sitting in the front row. Looking at the white hair on their heads, it actually showed their qualifications.

Xu Changkun and the other three are the foundation of the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army. They are masters of traditional Chinese medicine and have very high status.

So today's so-called "assessment" was actually conducted by Hua Yunlong, Hong Wumin and Xu Changkun as the chief examiners.

As for doctors like Li Jinxiong, Pei Shouzhi, Zhou Kaiquan, and Huang Zhongfei, they were just attending as auditors.

After Zhao Mancang came in and exchanged brief greetings, Xing Shuqi left the meeting room first.

After all, the upcoming assessment has nothing to do with him.

Just when Zhao Mancang thought it was an assessment, who knew that the first question Hua Yunlong asked was not an assessment, but a simple chat.

"Hello, Doctor Zhao. I asked you to come here to take this assessment today because it was actually a request from above. I didn't want to agree to it because it would be a waste of our time and it's not worth it."

"However, we didn't have a good chat the night before last, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to have a deeper chat. Please don't mind."

Hua Yunlong started chatting with Zhao Mancang, but it was not just small talk. Instead, they talked about craniotomy, limb replantation, and the Nine Needles to Restore Yang. It can be said that these topics are still very attractive.

Especially for doctors like Li Jinxiong, if they can learn one or two of these operations and master the relevant techniques, it will be a very good thing for the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army.

Neither Hong Wumin nor Xu Changkun said anything, just listening to Hua Yunlong and Zhao Mancang chatting.

After a few words of idle chat, Hong Wumin, who was eager to learn talents, suddenly interrupted:

"Doctor Zhao, I'd like to invite you to our PLA General Hospital again in person. I know that last time, Dean Ming of the Union Hospital next door treated you as an associate chief physician, but this time, on behalf of our General Hospital, I'd like to treat you as a third-level chief physician. I also promise you that within a year, you'll be paid the same as a second-level chief physician. I wonder if you'd be willing to come to our General Hospital?"

Hong Wumin really admired the young man Zhao Mancang, so he fought so hard to gain benefits for Zhao Mancang.

The salary of a third-level chief physician means a monthly salary of 240.5 yuan, which is definitely not a low salary.

The salary for a second-level chief physician is 278.5 yuan.

It can be said that when you reach the level of chief physician, your salary and benefits will be very different with each level up.

For example, a first-level chief physician has a ceiling salary, which is equivalent to the salary of an academician or professor, and the monthly salary is 322 yuan.

Of course, if you are a first-level professor, your salary is also divided into four different levels. The lowest level is 318 yuan, and the highest level is 345 yuan. The difference between the two is not small.

For Zhao Mancang, all these are still too far away.

Zhao Mancang can make a leap from a level 10 attending physician to a level 4 deputy chief physician, but if he goes any higher, the difficulty level will increase exponentially.

Therefore, although the gap between levels three, two and one seems small, the salary gap is large, and in fact, more levels need to be crossed and more efforts need to be made.

"Mr. Hong, you really think highly of me. I am very grateful and thank you, but I am sorry that I cannot promise you."

Zhao Mancang shook his head and said with a smile.

It's not that he doesn't know what's good for him, it's just that he really isn't suitable to leave the steel mill.

If he agreed to Hong Wumin, how would he face Ming Kecheng from Union Hospital?

Besides, Zhao Mancang didn’t want to get involved in the dispute between the General Hospital and Union Hospital. The best place for him to stay was the steel plant health center.

Seeing that he refused without hesitation, Hong Wumin sighed even though he already knew the answer.

Some people are really like the stuff in the toilet, smelly and hard.

Hua Yunlong smiled lightly. He didn't care too much about these things, because no matter which hospital Zhao Mancang was in, he was a Chinese. As long as he didn't go abroad, it would be fine.

Xu Changkun was even more silent. He was more pure and only wanted to exchange medical skills. He had no interest in participating in other things.

When people reach the same status and age as Hua Yunlong and Xu Changkun, they have already become more open-minded and naturally will not get involved in these things.

The only thing that worries them is probably the inheritance.

So in the following time, Hua Yunlong and Xu Changkun asked Zhao Mancang questions respectively, and they exchanged medical techniques and knowledge.

It was not until this time that Zhao Mancang realized that Hua Yunlong and the other three were not the heirs of the four major Chinese medicine factions in the country.

For example, Hua Yunlong, his ancestor was an imperial physician in the Ming Dynasty, and he was a contemporary of Li Shizhen.

However, during the Qing Dynasty, the Hua family fell into decline and never produced another imperial physician.

However, the Hua family was also a family of traditional Chinese medicine with an orderly inheritance in the local area. It was not until Hua Yunlong that the Hua family's traditional Chinese medicine inheritance rose again.

Today, Hua Yunlong is a full-time doctor at the Health Bureau. He has a grandson, Hua Xiaoqing, who is currently studying medicine at Beijing Medical University.

With Hua Yunlong's status, it is very easy to arrange Hua Xiaoqing's future path.

But Hua Yunlong knew very well that his grandson still had a lot to learn if he wanted to reach his level.

Since Hua Xiaoqing has always been successful, he has not experienced any hardships.

Now that we have such a talented young man like Zhao Mancang, let Hua Xiaoqing get to know him someday and have more contact with him. This may be of great help to Hua Xiaoqing's future growth.

This is Hua Yunlong’s relatively simple idea. In this respect, Xu Changkun and Hua Yunlong are similar.

Xu Changkun is a hermit who rose from the grassroots. In the past, when there was chaos and war, he was an apprentice in a pharmacy. Later, he worked hard to study and finally became a doctor.

Later, he joined the army, where he interacted with more doctors and his medical skills improved even faster.

Perhaps due to his talent, he gradually became famous, mastered many medical skills, and became one of the doctors in the Health Bureau.

Xu Changkun himself has an apprentice, and his son and grandson are also doctors. Naturally, what he wants is the same as Hua Yunlong's.

As for Hong Wumin, he has studied under many people. The reason is very simple. It was caused by the previous chaotic era.

At the beginning, Hong Wumin was a disciple of the Hanliang School represented by Liu Wansu. Later, due to the warlords' chaos, he was taken away.

Afterwards, he spent some time in contact with Li Guanjia, a doctor of the classical prescription school who pursued both harsh and concise efficacy in his use of medication. The two were both teachers and friends, and Hong Wumin was greatly influenced by Li Guanjia.

Later, there were other factions such as the Warm Disease Theory faction represented by Ye Tianshi, Wu Youke and others. In short, Hong Wumin has come into contact with many factions of traditional Chinese medicine.

As a result, he originally belonged to the cold and cool school, but now, when he sees patients and prescribes medicine, he will combine the above schools and give a diagnosis plan based on local conditions.

After talking with them, Zhao Mancang gained a lot.

The entire 'assessment' lasted for two and a half hours. If it wasn't close to lunch time, we could have continued chatting.

"Doctor Zhao, let's go to our General Hospital cafeteria and have a taste of our delicious food."

Hong Wumin said with a happy smile.

Although he was very sorry that Zhao Mancang did not agree to let him work in the General Hospital, he still admired and appreciated Zhao Mancang very much.

It can be said that Zhao Mancang's experience is somewhat similar to that of Hong Wumin and Xu Changkun. They are all doctors who have climbed up from the self-taught path, which is very different from Hua Yunlong who has a medical background.

In the cafeteria, in the private room, Xing Shuqi was also there, but he really couldn't join in the conversation.

It’s because among all the people at the dinner table, he is the only leader who knows nothing about medicine.

But there was no way. Hua Yunlong and the others were talking about these topics, and Xing Shuqi could only act as a listener.

After lunch, Zhao Mancang was taken to the health department by Xing Shuqi to meet Ma Kejian.

In the office, Ma Kejian first exchanged a few words with Zhao Mancang, and then asked about the limb replantation surgery.

"Comrade Zhao, you are very clear about the current situation in our country."

After chatting for a while, Mark Jian came straight to the point and said:

"We now have many factories, and many hospitals have admitted patients like Li Lihang. If we continue to follow the previous treatment methods."

"But now, Comrade Zhao, you've opened up a better path for us. I'd like to confirm the following questions."

Zhao Mancang pricked up his ears and listened attentively.

The other party raised questions about whether Li Lihang's severed hand could be fully restored, how long it would take, and whether limb replantation surgery could be promoted.

These questions are all very critical, and it can be said that Zhao Mancang's answers determine the subsequent conversation.

"Hello, leader. Regarding your questions, I can responsibly tell you that there is over an 80% chance that Li Lihang's severed hand will be fully recovered."

"Even though he can't exert the same strength as before, he can still recover 70% to 80% of his strength. It won't affect his daily work and life, except that he can't lift heavy objects."

"It will take more than half a year to fully recover. It definitely won't be that fast."

"As for whether limb replantation surgery can be promoted, sir, I can certainly confirm that it can be promoted, but there are still many limitations to this surgery."

Upon hearing this, Ma Kejian was overjoyed, but still signaled Zhao Mancang to continue explaining in detail.

Limb replantation surgery is affected by the operation time. If the patient can be sent to the hospital for timely treatment within eight hours after the hand is severed and the best time is not missed, then there will be no major problem.

But the longer the delay, the more difficult the patient's recovery and surgery will be.

"Depending on the cause of the injury, the damage to the severed limbs varies and can be divided into four main categories."

Zhao Mancang gave Ma Jian a very targeted analysis and briefly explained the situation.

Because the result Ma Jian wanted was not simple, Zhao Mancang had to make it clear in advance. Furthermore, once the limb replantation promotion project was spearheaded by the health department where Ma Jian worked, Zhao Mancang would undoubtedly be needed as a technical advisor, or even the project's technical director.

Therefore, Zhao Mancang must be extremely cautious and explain the situation to the other party in advance.

The first type is cutting detachment, which is mainly caused by sharp objects such as punches, milling machines, knives, paper cutters, glass, etc., and is common in the upper limbs.

"A sharp weapon like this will cause the bones, nerves, blood vessels, muscles, skin and other tissues of the severed limb to be cut on the same plane, and the damage to adjacent sections will be less severe."

"Li Lihang's injuries were severed, but his severed limbs still sustained some damage."

"In this case, the success rate of replantation is higher, but there is also the possibility of multiple injuries. For example, injuries caused by flywheels, fans, steel cables, harvesters, etc., can cause more severe damage to the tissues near the cross-section, or even cause the limb to be cut into several sections, making replantation difficult."

Listening to Zhao Mancang's detailed explanation of these technical details, to be honest, both Ma Kejian and Xing Shuqi felt a little uncomfortable.

Even though both of them were leaders who had retired from the army, they were used to seeing life and death when they were in the army. Logically speaking, what Zhao Mancang said now was child's play for them.

But, in fact, Zhao Mancang said it too lightly, he didn't react at all, as if he was just sharing academic knowledge.

"The second is a crushing break."

Upon hearing this, Ma Jian couldn't help but interrupt:

"Okay, Comrade Zhao, I understand. We can discuss the follow-up later. I just want to confirm whether limb replantation surgery can be promoted. We can discuss other matters later."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang nodded, looked at the other party silently, and waited for the other party's instructions.

However, Ma Kejian only asked Zhao Mancang to write a report on the limb replantation surgery and discuss the follow-up situation later.

"Leader, may I ask what this report is for?"

Upon hearing this, Xing Shuqi immediately whispered to Zhao Mancang, "Xiao Zhao, the leader will naturally make his own arrangements. Just do whatever he tells you to do. Why are you asking so many questions?"

After all, Mark Jian is a leader, and their positions are different. Zhao Mancang's direct question is equivalent to forcing the leader to ask when the project will be established. It is too rude.

Ma Kejian really didn't expect Zhao Mancang to ask a direct question, and was a little stumped by it.

However, after Xing Shuqi's scolding, Ma Jian immediately reacted and said with a smile:
"Comrade Zhao is quite anxious. Haha, I'm sure you've already guessed it. This limb replantation surgery is the first of its kind in the country, and even the world."

"If it weren't for Li Lihang not recovering yet, the higher-ups would have come to talk to you."

"In fact, in the next few days, someone in Moscow should invite you to participate in some activities and try to lure you to Moscow again."

"So I need you to organize the relevant materials, techniques, and Li Lihang's case, and submit them to prepare for the promotion of limb replantation surgery."

"Comrade Zhao, you need to be mentally prepared. This limb replantation surgery may become a powerful tool for our country to earn foreign exchange through export."

hiss!
Xing Shuqi was immediately excited when he heard this, and asked Ma Kejian nervously:
"Director Ma, is this true?"

Good guy, earn foreign exchange!!!

As the head of the steel plant, Xing Shuqi is very clear about the current situation in our country. We are extremely short of foreign exchange.

Sam, William, Kimura, Dirk, Louis and other countries and regions have been imposing economic blockades, resulting in us having no way to earn foreign exchange.

Of course, they block their own things, but we still have ways to earn foreign exchange.

However, at that time in the 1950s, all the products we exported were primary processed agricultural products, and there were almost no deeply processed high-value-added products.

The year 1953 was very special because Moscow not only provided us with a large amount of aid, but also imported a large amount of canned fruit from us.

And the following year, in 1954, the amount of canned food exported to Moscow increased significantly, including more than ten varieties such as pork, beef, lamb, poultry, fruits, and vegetables.

In this era, there were almost no heavy industrial factories in the South, but there were many light industrial factories, such as canneries.

For example, in 1956, many canning factories were established in Baiyun City, Minxi City, etc., specifically for the production of canned products.

The main products include canned aquatic products such as braised clams, fruit products such as candied lychees, candied tangerines, candied loquats, and canned vegetables such as canned winter bamboo shoots. There are many kinds of products, and everything can be canned.

Zhao Mancang had been to Sichuan and heard Han Tianqi talk about the "pig plague in Sichuan" in 1954.

At that time, the Baoji-Chengdu Railway had not yet been opened to traffic, and live pigs and pork within the territory of Sichuan and Shu could not be exported. Therefore, Sichuan and Shu hoped that a cannery could be established there.

In 1956, the Chengdu Cannery was completed and put into production. Moscow canning experts came to Chengdu to try to make steamed pork.

Moscow has very strict requirements for pork production, so when the Moscow experts arrived in Chengdu, they immediately went to the slaughterhouse for inspection. If the slaughterhouse did not meet the requirements, no matter how good the conditions of the cannery were, they would not agree to arrange production.

It was during these two or three years that Han Tianqi said that the price of pig offal in their country of Sichuan was only ten cents, and a bowl of pork liver noodles cost only eight cents, and the pork liver in the bowl was even better than the noodles.

The reason is very simple. Sichuan is a backward place. There are no cold storages in slaughterhouses and canneries, and 500 pigs are slaughtered every day.

So much pig offal needs to be processed quickly, otherwise, due to the hot weather, it will go bad if it is not sold out in one day.

When Zhao Mancang heard Han Tianqi say this, he felt incredible.

You have to remember that this was the 1950s, and there was still such a thing as "too many pigs causing a disaster"?

It's really incredible!

But this was the fifties, and this was what we could do to earn foreign exchange.

After all, if possible, we also hope to establish more heavy industrial units to produce high-value-added industrial products such as auto parts, automobiles, industrial rubber, machine tools, aircraft, etc. for export.

But actually?
The actual situation is that we need to import buses, trucks, ships, industrial equipment, etc. from Eastern Europe, Moscow and other places every year.

The foreign exchange we earn, in addition to being used to repay debts, is used to purchase these expensive high-value-added industrial products.

Canned food is our main export product. In 1953, we exported canned food worth 10.6 million rubles.

According to the current official exchange rate, one ruble can be exchanged for 1.1 US dollar, so 10.6 million rubles is equivalent to 11.66 million US dollars.

That’s a lot!

But if you think about it carefully, these are all canned food, and the cans contain agricultural products such as meat, fruits and vegetables.

It's really just a crudely processed product with no added value.

However, Zhao Mancang is currently developing a limb replantation surgery. Once this project is established, Moscow will certainly be willing to spend rubles to learn this technology, right?

why?
Because the heavy industry in Moscow is more developed, they must pay more attention to the life and death of their working class.

The technology of replanting severed limbs is very suitable for ordinary poor people. In today's era, only places like Moscow are willing to spend a lot of money to learn it.

On the contrary, countries and regions like Europe and the United States would not do this.

"Of course it's true. You didn't know that Moscow expert named Alefred had already invited Comrade Zhao Mancang to work in Moscow."

Ma Kejian smiled and said:

"So Comrade Zhao's abilities are very strong. You guys at the steel mill must protect him well and never let him be snatched away by anyone."

Hearing the other party say this, Xing Shuqi nodded seriously, indicating that there was no problem and he would definitely not give anyone a chance to take advantage of him.

Zhao Mancang smiled and said nothing.

There seems to be nothing much to say about this. Actions always speak louder than words.

What's more, in the face of invitations from Union Hospital, PLA General Hospital, Moscow and other parties, Zhao Mancang has never left the steel plant, which already explains his position.

After a brief chat, Xing Shuqi and Zhao Mancang left the health department.

On the way back to the steel plant, Xing Shuqi reminded me several times that if I encountered any trouble at work or in life, I must report it to him immediately.

"Although I'm just a steel mill manager, and your salary is almost catching up with mine, I will definitely not stand idly by if I can help you."

Nowadays, Zhao Mancang receives two salaries, as a fourth-level deputy chief physician and a sixth-level breeder, with a monthly salary of 268.7 yuan.

The salary for administrative level nine is only 253 yuan, so it is normal that Zhao Mancang's salary is almost catching up with Xing Shuqi's.

"Leader, please rest assured. If there are any problems, I will definitely report to you as soon as possible."

Zhao Mancang quickly expressed his determination.

The steel plant is not that important to Zhao Mancang. He can leave or not.

It’s just that Zhao Mancang was used to the people and things in the steel plant and was too lazy to move.

After returning to the steel plant, Zhao Mancang saw that it was still early, so he went to the Jundushan breeding farm.

At the farm, I only stayed until 4:30 in the afternoon and then left.

For breeder apprentices like Liu Baochan and Zheng Haichao, they definitely need to be given more time to learn.

Riding the black horse back to the steel plant, Zhao Mancang rested for a while and prepared to go off work.

'Hey, I finally got off work on time today.'

When it was time to get off work, Zhao Mancang went straight to the bicycle shed.

The incident of Li Lihang's broken hand happened the day before yesterday, which forced all the workers in the steel plant to learn safety knowledge. The workshop directors and other leaders were all called to meetings by Shen Zhongxin, Yang Shourong and others. Even Xing Shuqi personally took part in the meeting, walking around the workshop and conducting random inspections.

Although accidents are inevitable during factory production, if such accidents occur frequently due to workers' negligence, wouldn't that mean they don't take safety issues seriously?
So such a situation is absolutely not allowed.

Otherwise, the health centers would be extremely busy!
After leaving the steel plant on his bicycle, Zhao Mancang went straight home.

When I got home, Lin Wan had not returned yet, but Lin Huijun was already waiting at the door.

"father!"

When Zhao Mancang was still dozens of meters away from his home, two wolf-blue dog puppies were already rushing towards him with their tails wagging. Lin Huijun saw them at the first moment and immediately ran over with her short legs in surprise.

Running and shouting.

When Zhao Mancang pushed his bicycle back home, the little guy was already hanging in his arms.

The little guy was chattering about his house and how it had been dug up.

In the yard, Zhang Dongyue was acting as supervisor, and Master Gong and his team were still busy digging the basement.

"Master Gong, you've worked hard. It's getting quite late. Why don't you go back and rest?"

After Zhao Mancang parked his 28-inch truck, he took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket and handed them to Master Gong and the others.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Master Gong accepted the advice readily and did not rush the work or meet the deadline just because he was responsible for the labor and materials.

After all, Zhao Mancang has already arrived home and definitely doesn't want to be disturbed.

After a brief chat, Master Gong and the others left.

Excavating a basement is not easy. It not only requires digging up the soil and stones underground, but also requires transporting these waste materials away.

At the same time, some construction materials need to be transported back to prevent accidents during the excavation process, and construction is carried out while excavation is ongoing.

Zhao Mancang is only responsible for paying and acceptance, and the specific work is handled by Master Gong and others.

Not long after Master Gong and the others left, Lin Wan also came back.

Seeing Lin Wan coming back, the mother-in-law smiled and said to Zhao Mancang:
"I see your yard is so big, why don't you buy a couple of poultry and raise them?"

Without waiting for Zhao Mancang and Lin Wan to say anything, Zhang Dongyue continued to talk about her own thoughts.

It’s actually very simple. It’s a fact that the yard is big, and raising some chickens, ducks and geese is also allowed by the rules.

Zhao Mancang's home is near the Friendship Hotel, which is Zhongguancun South Street. This place is considered to be in the suburbs, not completely in the city.

So Zhao Mancang's family can be just like those in the countryside. As long as every household raises at least three chickens, three ducks, and two pigs, there will be no problem.

Before her grandmother finished speaking, Lin Huijun was already looking at Zhao Mancang and Lin Wan eagerly:

"Mom and Dad, let's raise one. When I grow up, I can help feed the chickens and ducks."

Lin Wan was very tempted, but she did not speak. Instead, she looked at Zhao Mancang, waiting for him to speak.

"Then raise it."

Zhao Mancang said with a smile.

Although he has a high salary, there is no need for him to raise chickens and ducks, which makes the house smelly.

But the little greedy cat is still young, so it’s a good idea to let her find something to do.

For example, now, two wolfhound puppies follow her almost every day.

But even so, Lin Huijun was still very bored. It would naturally be better if she had something to do.

yeah!
Seeing that Zhao Mancang had said this, Lin Wan also smiled and nodded. Lin Huijun was immediately very happy.

Zhang Dongyue immediately said:

"It's settled then. I'll help you choose tomorrow."

After saying that, Zhang Dongyue left first. She still had to rush back to Heizhima Hutong to make dinner.

"Dad, can I play mahjong?"

In the evening, at the dinner table, Lin Huijun suddenly raised her own questions.

"You are so small and have no strength, how can you catch sparrows?"

Lin Wan smiled and asked as she picked up a piece of meat for the little guy. Unexpectedly, the little guy said, "I'm strong, and Dahei and Xiaohei can help me. They can definitely catch sparrows."

It is now mid-September, and crops such as rice, corn, and soybeans are harvested from mid-September to early October.

In other words, at this point in time, the sparrows are even more crazy.

Wild animals also need to store food for the winter, and the crops grown in rice fields are ready-made food. So at this time, as long as you go to rural areas, you can see many farmers spontaneously driving away those birds and beasts.

Zhongguancun South Street is located in the suburbs, and there are even farmlands nearby.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Lin Huijun knows about playing mahjong.

Zhao Mancang knew that these next one or two months would be the final frenzy of the sparrow-killing campaign in 1958.

Farmers want to protect their crops from being stolen by birds, while sparrows and other birds want to survive, so this conflict is inevitable.

"Haha, if you can command Dahei and Xiaohei, then go catch sparrows, haha!"

Looking at the little guy's expectant and proud expression, Zhao Mancang said with a smile.

The two wolf-blue dog pups naturally listened to him more, but Zhao Mancang did not expect that Lin Huijun could actually command the two wolf-blue dogs.

"Dad, you don't know, they actually caught a sparrow this afternoon, but when I saw them, they had already let it fly away."

Zhao Mancang was very surprised to hear the little guy's words, and Lin Wan widened her eyes.

This is real?

Seeing that the adults didn't believe her, Lin Huijun suddenly became anxious. She quickly started to move and directed Dahei and Xiaohei to catch sparrows.

It was Zhao Mancang who called the little guy back, feeling both amused and helpless.

"Okay, okay, we believe you. How about this, after dinner, I'll take you out to see the world, okay?"

"Okay, thank you, Dad. Big Black, Little Black, eat quickly. We'll be out soon."
