Chapter 214 White Rabbit and the Female Version of Zhang Taofang

When I saw Wang Mengde and He Shengnan, as well as Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo at the contemporary Bo Tao.

He blurted out excitedly: "It's you!"

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Looking at the middle-aged man not far away, staring at him with fiery eyes, Wang Mengde felt a little uncomfortable.

He put down the small shovel in his hand for shoveling ash, stood up and asked softly.

"You must be Doctor Wang Mengde."

Dai Botao calmed down, then asked instead of answering.

"Yes, I am."

"Doctor Wang, my name is Dai Botao, and I am the family member of the patient who was admitted to Union Hospital a month ago.

My wife had amniotic fluid embolism at the time, and you saved her and the baby, me and our three children, and I came here today to thank you."

Dai Botao said with gratitude.

"Oh, so you are the patient's family member. I am a doctor and it is my duty to treat the patient. You don't have to be so polite."

After listening to his explanation, Wang Mengde suddenly realized.

It turned out that the husband of the patient he accidentally treated at Union Hospital a month ago came to thank him. No wonder he was so excited.

Come to think of it, if I hadn't happened to be there that day, the woman who had given birth might have died.

In this era, unlike later times, caesarean section was very simple.

Caesarean section surgery has only been carried out in China for a few years, and both the level and experience are not very high.

In addition, the mother was in a state of cardiac arrest and shock at the time, and there were signs of heavy bleeding later. Let alone saving the mother or the child, it was luck that either one survived.

All I can say is, they weren't destined to die.

"Doctor Wang, I later consulted with the doctors at Union Hospital, and they all said that if it weren't for you, my wife and daughter might have been in trouble."

Dai Botao said with a complicated expression.

That night, he found his attending physician and asked about the situation.

After hearing about the whole process, I felt relieved but also a little scared.

If his home had not been close to Union Hospital and Wang Mengde happened to be there, he would definitely have regretted it for the rest of his life.

If his wife had not been in danger at the time and had not been in the hospital for observation for more than half a month, he would have come to thank his benefactor long ago.

While the two were chatting, many neighbors in the yard heard the noise and started coming out of their houses to watch the fun.

Even the few people who were sweeping the snow at the door, led by Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, walked from the Moon Gate to the central courtyard.

Seeing so many people looking at them, Wang Mengde quickly said to Dai Botao:
"Comrade Dai, it's cold outside, let's go inside and have some tea to warm ourselves up."

"Hahaha, okay, Doctor Wang, I'll go to your house and sit for a while."

Dai Botao said generously.

After a few people entered the house, the neighbors in the yard gathered together with gossipy looks on their faces, asking each other questions.

"This person is not a simple person. Look at his clothes and temperament. Does he look like a cadre?"

Liu Haizhong put his hands behind his back, stared at the door of Wang Mengde's house, and spoke in a low voice.

"Uncle, you are right. I think he looks like an official, and a high-ranking one at that. His temperament is much better than that of the principal of our school."

Yan Bugui pushed the frame of his glasses and smacked his lips in agreement.

After he finished speaking, he swallowed his saliva again. The pork belly and pastries that the boy was holding just now made him very greedy.

Although the Gregorian calendar has entered the 62nd year, the difficulties have not eased.

Even though the distribution of meat coupons was resumed every month, the grain ration did not change, and other non-staple foods were still in severe shortage.

At the same time, he was calculating in his mind.

It's good to be a doctor. Every now and then, someone comes to Lao Wang's house with gifts to express their gratitude.

It would be great if my son could study medicine and someone would come to thank me in the future.

However, there is a more tricky problem, that is, his three sons are not very promising.

"Uncle, uncle, why are you stretching your necks so long?"

At this time, Sha Zhu walked in from outside, saw everyone in the yard craning their necks, and asked curiously.

"There are guests at Meng De's house, and they brought a lot of goodies. They must be the patient's family members who came to thank him."

Yan Bugui answered without turning his head.

"Hey, what's so strange about this? People often come to the Mengde family. You are making a fuss."

When he heard that it was the patient's family who came to express their gratitude, Sha Zhu lost interest.

He encounters this kind of thing often. At first it may be quite novel, but later he gradually gets used to it.

It would be strange if no one came within a month.

"You know nothing, Silly Zhu. If you have nothing to do, then come with us outside to clear the snow."

Liu Haizhong was unhappy and glared at him.

"Second Uncle, you can't be partial. Meng De and I cleared a lot of snow in the yard early this morning.

If you want to find someone to do the work, you should go to Xu Damao, Yan Jiefang, Liu Guangtian and the others. You are the head of the hospital, so you should treat everyone equally."

When Sha Zhu heard that he was asked to clear the snow outside the courtyard gate again, he hurriedly argued.

Last night, it snowed heavily all night long.

Wang Mengde got up early in the morning as usual. Seeing that the snow outside was very thick, he directly grabbed Sha Zhu out of the quilt.

It took the two men more than half an hour to clear a walkable path in the yard.

"Humph!"

He was choked by Sha Zhu and was speechless. Perhaps he felt embarrassed, so he snorted coldly and turned to walk towards the backyard.

Soon, the cries of Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu brothers begging for mercy were heard from the backyard.

In the living room of Wang Mengde's house.

He Shengnan poured Dai Botao a cup of hot tea, and poured hot water for his three sons, then went out to look after the children.

"Doctor Wang, didn't you save a little boy in the North Moat more than six years ago?"

Picking up the teacup, Dai Botao asked impatiently.

"Ah? How do you know?"

Wang Mengde said strangely.

He remembered that in the summer of 1955, he and He Shengnan took their two younger brothers to play by the North Moat and they did save a little boy who was drowning.

However, this happened more than six years ago. If the middle-aged man in front of him hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten it long ago.

"It was you, Doctor Wang. It was him you saved."

Dai Botao stood up in surprise and said, then he turned around and said to his eldest son, "Big brother, this is the person who saved you at that time. Stand up and kowtow to Uncle Wang."

As soon as he entered the Intermediate Courtyard and saw Wang Mengde leading Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo, he felt a little suspicious.

After seeing He Shengnan again, he was sure.

The son’s savior at that time was Wang Mengde.

He will never forget that afternoon in the summer of 1955 when he took his wife and son to visit his friend's house.

Without noticing, my son slipped into the moat to swim like other children from ordinary families.

It almost happened.

If there hadn't been a kind-hearted person who pulled his son out of the water, he really didn't know what would have become of his family.

Unfortunately, the kind-hearted man left in a hurry after saving the person.

He asked around for a long time but couldn't find anyone.

I only learned from other people that they were a young couple with two twin children about five or six years old. If we were to describe the characteristics of the young couple, the boy was very handsome and the girl was very pretty.

Therefore, as soon as they met, he was certain that Wang Mengde was his son's savior.

"No, no, no."

Seeing the eldest son of the Dai family stand up and prepare to kneel down, Wang Mengde also quickly stood up and supported him.

"Doctor Wang, don't help him, he should kowtow to you.

Not to mention that you saved his life more than six years ago, just say that you saved the lives of his mother and sister last month. What does it mean for him to kowtow to you a few times? "

Dai Botao said quickly from the side.

"Boss, kowtow to your uncle Wang."

After giving the order, he still felt a little regretful.

If Wang Mengde were a little older, he would definitely let his son find a godfather.

pity.

The age gap between the two people is not that big, so I can only call him uncle.

More than an hour later.

Dai Botao took his three sons away.

Of course, all the things they brought were left here.

"Meng De, there are so many good things!"

He Shengnan tidied up the things on the table and said with a look of surprise.

At the same time, he swallowed imperceptibly.

In addition to about one pound of pork belly, there were also two pounds of pastries, one pound of rock sugar, two bottles of Fenjiu, and two pounds of White Rabbit milk candy.

White Rabbit Milk Candy is a rare thing.

Even Wang Mengde, who is in his current position, has only seen a few of them.

The predecessor packaging of White Rabbit Milk Candy used a red Mickey Mouse pattern and was named "ABC Mickey Mouse Candy".

Later, the candy company was nationalized and Mickey Mouse was seen as a symbol of worshipping foreign things, so the packaging pattern was changed to a white rabbit.
In the beginning, due to the shortage of raw materials, most of the products were still made by hand, so the factory that made White Rabbit milk candy could only produce 800 kilograms a day.

In addition, thanks to the promotional advertisement "Seven pieces of White Rabbit milk candies are equal to a cup of milk", it is regarded as a nutritious food.

It is not available for sale on the market at all.

In addition to being supplied as special goods, it is also given as gifts to foreign guests.

"Put all these away. Oh, and try some of the White Rabbit candy."

Wang Mengde sat on the chair and said with a smile.

"Then I really want to try what White Rabbit milk candy tastes like."

He Shengnan carefully peeled one and put it in her mouth.

"Well, it's delicious."

Feeling the rich milky aroma and mellow taste in her mouth, she squinted her eyes and nodded repeatedly.

At this time, several children also walked in, dragging their "bloated" bodies.

"Wow, White Rabbit Milk Candy."

Wang Yuanchao was sharp-eyed and saw on the table the White Rabbit milk candy that he had tasted once and had never forgotten, and he cheered quickly.

After hearing this, the other three also rushed over excitedly.

"Don't rush to grab them. Take them one by one. Two per person. I'll keep the rest for later."

He Shengnan quickly hugged the candy in front of her and spoke quickly.

Then, after distributing the candies to the eager children, she peeled one and put it into Wang Mengde's mouth before hiding the bag of candies in the bedroom.

It goes without saying that if these candies can be eaten up by the beginning of spring, it would be considered fast.

Who knows if it can last until summer. We will only take it out and eat it when it is almost going bad.

Wait for Wang Hao and Ran Xiaomei to come back.

After they ate a piece of White Rabbit candy, Ran Xiaomei praised it for being delicious and ordered:

"Meng De, in a few days, go to your in-laws' place and bring half of the White Rabbit candies with you."

After hearing this, before Wang Mengde could speak, He Shengnan said, "Mom, this is a rare thing. Don't take it. Save it for Yuan Chao and the others to eat slowly."

"It's okay. Yuan Chao and the others have eaten so many good things. Let Yanan have some of them.

By the way, when the time comes, Shengwen can also give some to his partner."

Seeing her daughter-in-law refuse, Ran Xiaomei said with a smile.

He Shengwen and his partner have already met and decided to get married, and are just waiting to get their marriage certificate in the spring.

"Mom, I think you shouldn't send half of it. I can just bring half a pound when the time comes."

Seeing that his wife was about to speak, Wang Mengde hurriedly spoke.

After discussing it, Wang Hao said:
"Meng De, who is the person who sent you something today? He can even give you so many White Rabbit milk candies.

This is something that ordinary people can’t buy. Even your teacher, Master Pu, can’t give out so much at once.”

"Dad, this is what happened."

Wang Mengde then gave a brief account of the situation:
"As for his identity and background, although he didn't say it clearly just now, I can guess that he works in Jingcheng."

"You can actually cure 'amniotic fluid embolism'?"

As an insider, Wang Hao asked in surprise.

He knew how difficult this disease was.

It is no exaggeration to say that if their hospital encounters this kind of patient, they can only pray for a miracle.

night.

Lying in bed.

Holding his arm, He Shengnan said in a lazy voice:

"Meng De, our unit will organize a militia shooting competition tomorrow, and I will definitely get a reward."

For special reasons, a large number of workers in each unit or factory belong to the militia, and training and various competitions are organized from time to time.

As a martial artist who has been practicing martial arts for many years, He Shengnan was naturally selected and even became a backbone of the factory's militia.

Moreover, she has a very high talent for shooting. With a rifle, she can hit whatever she points at, and every shot hits the center of the bull.

He always wins first place in the shooting competition organized by the factory every year.

"That's right. You are recognized as the top shooter in Qinghe Woolen Factory. I heard that even General XX came to inspect your factory.

After you performed shooting for him, he kept sighing, "If you were born ten years earlier, you would definitely be a female version of 'Zhang Taofang'."

This evaluation is not low. Zhang Taofang is known as the "sharpshooter", "cold-gun hero" and "sniper god".

In 32 days, 214 enemies were annihilated, creating a legend.

"That's right. My marksmanship is unrivaled in the Qinghe Woolen Factory."

He Shengnan said proudly.

Of course, she also knew that her man's shooting skills were more accurate.

Thinking of this, he began to hug her arms tighter.

Time passes day by day.

The Chinese New Year is in two days.

Just when Wang Mengde was preparing to spend the New Year in peace, something happened in the rural areas around Beijing City.
