Chapter 106: Chiropractic and Promotion

The weather is getting warmer day by day.

Now is the most comfortable season of the year, neither too cold nor too hot.

morning.

"Meng De, the weather is nice today. You can go out and play with Shengnan. My mother-in-law and I will take care of the child. She will have lunch at home and go back in the evening."

In the living room, Ran Xiaomei gave the order with a smile.

Next to them, Zhou Xiaoyan was holding the two brothers, Wang Yuanxun and Wang Yuandi, one in each hand, and looked very adorable.

She was very happy to see her two grandchildren growing more and more handsome.

"Mom, I'll take care of them at home today. It's already very tiring for you to take care of them on your own during the week. You can take more rest while we're at home on the weekend."

He Shengnan refused with a smile.

In fact, she was somewhat tempted. Ever since she became pregnant and her belly grew bigger, she rarely went out. After giving birth, she had two children tied to her belt and she had even less chance to go out.

But she also knew how hard her mother-in-law worked. Not only did she have to take care of two children, but she also had to do housework and worry about her two brothers-in-law, so she felt somewhat embarrassed.

"It's okay, you guys go and have fun. I don't have anything to do today, so I'm just here to take care of the kids." Zhou Xiaoyan was happy to see her daughter so favored by her husband's family, so she spoke up.

"Okay, I'll accompany Shengnan to play outside for a day today." Seeing his wife's conflicted expression, Wang Mengde made the final decision.

He has been very busy at work recently and wanted to take advantage of the good weather to go out and relax, so that he and his wife can develop a good relationship.

"Brother-in-law, are you and my sister going out to play? I'm going too." He Yanan was in the bedroom. When she heard the conversation outside, she ran out and said to him with her head held high.

Behind him, there were Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo.

"Brother, brother, we want to go too." The two little guys said with shining eyes.

"You stay at home and help take care of Yuanxun and Yuandi." Ran Xiaomei said with a smile, but her tone was unquestionable.

With three little ones following them, my son and daughter-in-law definitely won’t have a good time, and they might even be more tired than at home.

When the two younger brothers heard their mother's objection, they immediately pouted and looked unhappy, but they didn't say much.

He Yanan, on the other hand, rolled her eyes and said nothing. She just stared at her brother-in-law with her big eyes, with a pleading look on her face.

"Ahem. Mom, why don't we let the three of them go together? We'll go outside the city to fly kites and pick wild vegetables this morning. If they go along, they can also help pick vegetables and carry baskets, and then we can come back and cook wild vegetables for lunch."

Wang Mengde said to Ran Xiaomei, then turned around and made three rules for the three children:

"After lunch, in the afternoon, the two of us will go out to play, and the three of you should just stay home and not follow us, okay?"

"Okay, thank you brother."

"Long live brother-in-law!"

Without waiting for Ran Xiaomei's consent, the three children cheered and excitedly went to get the kite, basket and hoe.

Seeing how happy they were, Ran Xiaomei shook her head and ignored them.

Outside Dongzhimen, outside the moat, it is now considered the suburbs, which is outside the second ring road in the previous life. Most areas are now considered standard rural areas.

Apart from a factory, there are villages and large tracts of farmland.

A few people passed the steel mill and walked east for a while. There was a piece of wasteland in front of them. Many people were flying kites there. Not far away, there were some people squatting there, digging wild vegetables.

First, they found a place to put the basket and the small hoe, and then Wang Mengde began to take out the kite. This time they only brought one kite.

This kite was made last year. He used bamboo strips as the frame and glued them together with paper and paste. It was made in the shape of a little swallow, with a hemp rope tied to the tail.

When the little swallow kite was flown up, the three children ran with their heads held high, singing the ballad "Little Swallow" loudly.

The cheerful voice and the childlike lyrics made Wang Mengde and He Shengnan smile at each other.

Nearing noon, several people, holding kites and carrying baskets full of wild vegetables, walked towards Nanluoguxiang with a reluctant heart.

After finishing their meal, they took a short break, got on their bikes, and rode towards Wangfujing Street with He Shengnan. They were going to stroll around there today.

When revisiting the old place, Wang Mengde felt emotional. He thought of two years ago when he and He Shengnan went shopping and had dinner on Wangfujing Street, and finally watched a movie.

He planned to repeat the scene today.

After shopping in Wangfujing Department Store, the two went to the cinema where they watched a movie last time and bought two tickets for fifty cents.

The name of this movie is "Nurse's Diary". It was released on January 57, 1. Many people may not know the name of this movie, but they must have heard of the interlude in it.

That’s right, the nursery rhyme “Little Swallow in Flowery Clothes” is the interlude in this movie.

Coming out of the cinema, He Shengnan was still immersed in the plot. She said excitedly:

"Jian Suhua (the heroine) is so amazing. For the sake of her ideals, she gave up the prosperous Shanghai and came to the remote and poor north to work as a nurse. It's really amazing."

"Well, then if one day I need to leave the capital for a short time and go to work in a remote place, will you support me?" Wang Mengde thought of the country's efforts to prevent and control schistosomiasis, and then asked softly.

He had a hunch that many medical staff, including himself, might have to go to the south in the near future to support the work of preventing and controlling schistosomiasis.

The scale of this event was so huge that it was beyond anyone's imagination, except for him. It could be said to be unique.

"Meng De, if such a day really comes, I will definitely support your work. Then you can go without worry. I will take care of the family and the children."

He Shengnan stopped and said with a serious expression.

Seeing her serious look, Wang Mengde nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go home."

In the evening, after coaxing his two sons to sleep and washing up, Wang Mengde played a game of "on top" with He Shengnan.

The next morning, just as he got up, there was a knock on the door, and then Ran Xiaomei said anxiously outside the door:

"Meng De, are you up?"

"Mom, I'm up. What's wrong?" He asked as he hurriedly buttoned his clothes and opened the door.

"Yuan Chao, he has a fever, and he also said his cheek hurts a little."

When Wang Mengde heard that his brother was ill, he hurriedly said, "Mom, I'll go see him."

When I arrived at the ear room, I saw Wang Yuanchao, lying listlessly on the bed wrapped in a quilt.

"Yuan Chao, what's wrong with you?" Wang Mengde reached out and touched his forehead, and asked in a low voice.

"Brother, my cheeks and throat hurt a little. My head also hurts a little and I feel cold." Wang Yuanchao said weakly, pointing to his cheek under his ear.

"Well, you didn't eat much last night. Did you feel uncomfortable then?" "Yes, brother. I didn't feel like eating yesterday. I felt uncomfortable chewing."

Last night, Wang Yuanchao ate a little less. No one noticed at first and thought he was not hungry.

"Well, next time you feel uncomfortable, tell your brother in time, okay?" Wang Mengde roughly understood his symptoms, and motioned for him to stretch out his hand. He took his pulse, which was floating and rapid.

I looked at the tongue again and found that it was red with a thin white coating, so I had an idea.

He is suffering from mumps (called epidemic parotitis in Western medicine). Through dialectical analysis, it is a syndrome of evil invading Shaoyang.

"Mom, Yuan Chao is fine. I'll get some medicine and boil it for him to drink a few times and he will be fine." Wang Mengde said to his mother.

Ran Xiaomei was worried at first, but after hearing what her eldest son said, she felt relieved. She knew that if her son said it was nothing, then it was just an ordinary problem.

"Brother, I want to take medicine too." Wang Weiguo, who was lying next to him, suddenly said when he heard that his brother was going to take medicine.

"Don't make trouble. Why should a healthy person drink medicine?" Ran Xiaomei raised her eyebrows and said in a bad tone.

He went to a nearby pharmacy to get the medicine, returned home, and told his mother how to make it. Then he hurried to the bus stop and took the bus to Guang'anmen.

As for the bicycle, He Shengnan rode it to Deshengmen first.

When I got home from get off work and just arrived at the hanging flower gate in the front yard, I heard Wang Yuanchao's ghostly howling coming from the middle yard.

"I don't want to drink the medicine. It tastes too bad."

"No, drink it quickly and you will be cured. Pinch your nose and drink it in one breath. I'll give you a piece of candy after you finish drinking it." Then, Ran Xiaomei's voice was heard again.

"No drink, no drink."

"You have to drink it." Wang Mengde handed the bicycle to He Shengnan and quickly came to the central courtyard. Seeing that his brother was struggling and unwilling to take the medicine, he stepped forward and picked him up.

Ran Xiaomei took the opportunity and quickly handed the bowl to his mouth.

Seeing that he was about to turn his head to the side, Wang Mengde pressed his head with his hand again.

There was no choice. Seeing his brother coming back, Wang Yuanchao had to pinch his nose, take the bowl with one hand, and gulp down the medicine in one breath.

After drinking it, his little face was wrinkled and he stuck out his tongue with a painful expression. He didn't feel better until a candy was stuffed in his mouth.

At the dinner table, after Wang Yuanchao took a few bites of rice, he put down his chopsticks and said to Wang Mengde: "Brother, this medicine is too bitter. Why don't you give me some delicious medicine?"

"Nonsense, these medicines are bitter. Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease." Ran Xiaomei said with a smile.

Wang Mengde had an idea after hearing his brother's words. Yes, some medicines are not bitter, and it seems that they have not been invented yet. He can make them in advance.

It just so happens that my research on rickets has come to an end.

the end of April.

He had just arrived at the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, cleaned the office and made some tea. Before he sat down, Mr. Pu walked in with a happy look on his face.

Seeing that he was in such a good mood, Wang Mengde probably thought that something good had happened to him, so he asked with a smile:

"Sir, are you having a happy event?"

"Haha, it's not me who has good news, it's you." Pu Lao sat on the chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then pinched his beard and said with a smile.

"Sir, my good news is that the prescription for my rheumatism disease and the Chinese patent medicine I produce have been approved by my superiors?" Wang Mengde said with a look of surprise.

About twenty days ago, according to President Lu's instructions, he produced a small batch of Chinese patent medicines and plasters. These medicines were soon shipped away by President Lu.

According to his estimation, this matter would not have any results within two months.

"Haha, it's not only recognized, but verified." Boss Pu said with a smile.

Before Wang Mengde asked, he took the initiative to speak: "According to the information I received, the country first shipped this batch of drugs to Eastern Europe, with a focus on East Germany. Unexpectedly, the effect was unexpectedly good.

Those East Germans who had rickets didn't believe it at first, but after using the medicine, they started shouting and screaming with shock on their faces, and they scrambled to buy our medicine to keep at home. "

Eastern Europe!

Yes, why didn’t I think of Eastern Europe, especially East Germany? The Germanic people love drinking beer, and the probability of them getting syphilis is higher than that of people in other countries.

"Sir, what arrangements does the country have now?" Wang Mengde asked hurriedly.

"The country is ready to produce the drug in large quantities according to the formula, and will initially use the drug production lines of several major pharmaceutical factories such as Tong Ren Tang to work overtime.

Some of it is going to be exported to Eastern European countries, and some of it is going to be exported to developed countries in Europe and America through special channels to earn their foreign exchange and support national construction.

Pu Lao explained.

When Wang Mengde heard that they were preparing for large-scale production, he was happy. The more he produced, the more foreign exchange he would earn, and the greater his contribution would be.

Sure enough, Mr. Pu then said something that surprised him.

"Meng De, the country and the academy have not forgotten your contribution this time. After research and decision, we are going to promote you.

You are currently at the seventh grade, level 19. In a few days, the hospital leaders will talk to you and announce your promotion to the sixth grade, level 16. Your monthly salary will be fifty yuan and fifty cents. As for other material rewards, it depends on the hospital's arrangements."

This is to give yourself a three-level promotion!

Seeing his delighted look, Pu Lao nodded and continued, "By the end of this year, not to mention the city, even the national advanced and model, if nothing unexpected happens, your name will be on the list.

At the same time, I am also benefiting from your help. After the head of the internal medicine department is transferred, this position will be mine. No matter how much Xia Yiqing tries, he will have no chance. "

I learned that I would become a national advanced and role model in the future, and that my teacher would also become a leadership member of the institute.

Wang Mengde was overjoyed and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

He doesn't care about material rewards. What he cares about is moving up. In this era, including the future, no matter how much wealth one has, it will be vulnerable in the face of absolute power.

Having power and wealth is easy for someone like him who knows where the future is headed.

a few days later.

As soon as Qian Dayong saw Wang Mengde, he pretended to be heartbroken and said, "Mengde, you hid it very well. You were promoted to the sixth grade and sixteenth level in an instant.

I came here more than half a year earlier than you, but now I am three levels lower than you. It's so unfair.

I had said that I would surpass you in advanced status in two years, but who knew that you would do something so big secretly, and you have left me behind again as advanced and model worker this year."

"Haha, Brother Dayong, do you want to be the advanced and model worker in the city this year?" Wang Mengde said with a smile.
