Chapter 336: Gratitude and the Nemesis of Leukemia
It's approaching September.
School will start in a few days.
Because the children are now attending school in Guang'anmen, Wang Mengde and his family plan to move back from the Siheyuan to that place in two days.
In the main house in the central courtyard, in the living room of Sha Zhu's house.
"Meng De, you don't know that things have been peaceful in our courtyard recently.
Naturally, after Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong stepped down, they kept a very low profile in the hospital.
Especially Xu Damao, who was so arrogant when he first became a team leader. Several leaders of the steel rolling mill were harmed by him.
Now, not only has he been removed from his position as team leader, he has also been transferred to a movie theater to work as a ticket checker. I met him the day before yesterday and found that his face was tanned.
By the way, you may not know this, but when he was in power, there was a girl at the steel mill who had a secret relationship with him.
At first, he was reluctant to make it public, thinking it was just for fun.
Later, after he stepped down, even the benefit of showing movies in the countryside was gone. The girl’s parents were not happy about this and threatened to sue him for having an affair.
In the end, I heard that it was Xu Damao's parents who stepped in and compensated the other party a large sum of money, and the matter was finally resolved."
Sha Zhu took a bite of the meat dish and said happily.
He and Xu Damao have been sworn enemies since childhood. Seeing the other person in trouble is more exciting than picking up money himself.
"Humph, this kind of person becomes arrogant when he is in power. Even if I am not here, he will be in trouble sooner or later."
Wang Mengde put down his chopsticks and said.
In fact, with his current status and position, he has long been unwilling to take care of all the big and small matters in the hospital.
But he didn't expect that Xu Damao wanted to use him to establish his authority as soon as he became the team leader. This was unbearable.
If he doesn't fight back, others will think he is easy to bully, and he will get into more trouble in the future.
Now he pushed Xu Damao down in one go. No matter in the yard or in the alley, those who had been more alert recently subconsciously avoided him.
This is the principle of striking the first blow to prevent a hundred incoming blows.
"The second uncle (Liu Haizhong) is the same. Some time ago, he walked around the yard with his head held high and looked at people through his nose.
The second aunt and her sons Guangtian and Guangfu were also very arrogant, acting like they were the boss and the third in command.
He is very obedient now, and acts like a mouse with its tail between its legs every day.
Although Li Huaide is not a good person, he did a pretty good job in getting Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong to step down."
Sha Zhu couldn't help but start complaining again.
He usually cooked special meals for the leaders at the steel mill. In addition, there was a female worker named Liu Lan in the kitchen who had an unclear relationship with Li Huaide, so he knew what kind of person the head of the steel mill was.
Not to mention how capable he is, he is greedy for money, lustful, and enjoys pleasure. He is also good at eliminating dissidents and using political tactics.
Now, in addition to him, the steel rolling mill has eight deputy directors. It's really hilarious.
Not only were the employees of this factory discussing it secretly, but even people from other sister factories were laughing at it.
This group of people are simply gluttons. Apart from eating, drinking and having fun every day, the production in the factory is a mess.
"Don't talk about other people, Shazhu, you have been working in the steel mill for many years, and your skills are unique in the factory. When will you become a small leader?"
Wang Mengde said this deliberately with amusement.
Sha Zhu's cooking skills are quite good. Not to mention his own family's traditional Tan cuisine, his Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine and halal cuisine are comparable to those of the chefs in some big hotels.
If it weren't for the special circumstances now, if he were in the future and opened a restaurant, his business would definitely be booming.
Even if you don't open your own restaurant, being a head chef in a hotel is more than enough.
But now in the steel mill, he is still just a chef in charge of the small kitchen, not even a kitchen team leader.
"Hey, stop talking.
Originally, I had the opportunity to become the deputy director of the canteen. A while ago, I happened to see Li Huaide harassing Sister Qin in the warehouse.
I was so angry that I punched him twice. Although I was not retaliated against, I lost my position as deputy director of the canteen."
Sha Zhu said nonchalantly.
Although he has been married to Yu Li for several years and has two children, Qin Huairu is still his white moonlight.
If Yu Li hadn't been on guard every day, the lunch boxes he brought back from the steel mill would have long since become the Jia family's profit.
"Silly Zhu, you have a family now, so you should be more careful in what you do in the future."
Wang Mengde looked at Sha Zhu in front of him and couldn't help but give him some advice.
"Meng De, don't worry, I'm not stupid. I can see the current situation clearly. I often go to the home of the big leader we know.
I was thinking of waiting for his chef to retire and letting me work as a full-time chef, but now that's out of the question. The boss has put things aside and is going to the south for an inspection."
Sha Zhu smiled and said softly.
Of course Wang Mengde knew the big leader he was talking about, and he would go to him for health care every once in a while.
The relationship between the two is no worse than that of Sha Zhu, it's just that other people don't know about these things.
Moreover, it is not just this one leader. Because of work reasons, among the leaders that Wang Mengde knows, no matter which name he mentions, every one of them is well-known and familiar to him.
His acupuncture and massage techniques are the favorites of many leaders.
In addition, he has superb medical skills, so no matter whether the illness is serious or minor, we basically have to send him for consultation before we can feel at ease.
After drinking at noon, I went home and took a nap in bed.
When Wang Mengde woke up refreshed, he found that his father-in-law and his family had come over.
Everyone was afraid of disturbing him, so they all sat in the living room or outside and chatted in low voices.
"Meng De is up. I left a few pieces of watermelon on the table for you."
Ran Xiaomei was holding her little grandson in her arms and discussing the interesting things about raising children with her mother-in-law Zhou Xiaoyan.
Seeing his eldest son coming out of the bedroom with sleepy eyes, he said with a smile.
"Okay mom, have you eaten yet?"
Wang Mengde agreed and then asked casually.
This watermelon was sent by the commune leader in Panggezhuang a few days ago.
In total, more than twenty large watermelons were given away.
Since the difficult period has passed and policies have been relaxed recently, more cash crops have been planted.
Panggezhuang Commune used the members' private plots to plant more watermelons.
The child of a commune leader there had a difficult and complicated disease that could not be cured in many hospitals and was declared hopeless.
Later, I occasionally heard from other people that his medical skills were very good. With the idea of giving it a try and trying everything possible, I took my child to Guang'anmen Hospital. After fighting for an appointment for several days, I was lucky enough to get one.
To be honest, even Wang Mengde found the child's illness very difficult to treat, and it took him a lot of effort to finally cure the child.
To express his gratitude to him, the leader paid out of his own pocket and bought carefully selected large watermelons from the villagers of the commune and sent them to him.
It is almost September now, and the watermelon season has passed. They are no longer available on the market.
That is to say, there is still a small part of the production area, and it is reserved for people with connections.
"Meng De, we have all eaten. The children's bellies are all full. You should eat quickly." Zhou Xiaoyan, looking at her son-in-law, said with a smile.
Now, she is extremely grateful that her daughter met such an outstanding man.
Moreover, when they first met, the He family did not make it difficult. When they learned that the two were in love and wanted to get married, they agreed without a second thought, and did not even ask for or bargain about the gift gift and other conditions.
Sure enough, the original choice was right. Over the years, the son-in-law has provided tremendous help to their family.
Both sons' work and marriage were arranged, and they would bring things home every now and then.
Even during the difficult years, the neighbors all suffered from hunger to varying degrees. Some families could only have a full meal during the holidays.
The several people in their family basically never lacked food, and they could even get other rare supplies from time to time.
During the most difficult year, the neighbors in the same courtyard didn’t smell meat for several months, but their family could eat meat at least twice a month.
In Caochang Hutong, every family would envy her for having a good son-in-law.
In the past two years, as both sons got married and had children, life has become even more prosperous.
In addition to the fact that there are several workers working in the family, a big factor is also the fact that the son-in-law has to send over large and small packages of supplies every month.
Beef and mutton, which were rare in the market, were bought in batches of three to five kilograms each time. There was never a shortage of snacks such as candies, biscuits, canned food, and cakes.
There are more than ten people in the family, and we can make a new set of clothes every year. The children's clothes rarely have patches on them.
Her eldest grandson has eaten steamed buns made of two grains of flour less than three times a month since he was born, because he has only eaten white flour buns for every meal.
Recently, I actually complained about the noodles I had eaten for two days in a row, which was something I had never dared to think about before.
In the past, being able to eat noodles made of white flour was considered the Chinese New Year.
When she heard what her eldest grandson said, she looked a little dazed. However, when she saw that her eldest grandson was white and plump, and stronger than most of his peers, she was shocked.
At the same time, she often teaches her sons and daughters to remember to be grateful, because this hard-earned happy life is all given by her son-in-law.
After eating the watermelon, He Shengwen and his two siblings also came in from outside after hearing the news.
"Shengwen, Shengwu, how is your work going lately?"
Wang Mengde looked at his two brothers-in-law and asked.
This year, all walks of life have begun to be affected to some extent. He was worried that the two young and energetic people might cause trouble at work.
"Brother-in-law, we have kept in mind your instructions and will not get too involved in political matters at work. Right now, my side is very stable and nothing has happened.
The leader of the supply and marketing cooperative went to Deshengmen for an inspection some time ago and chatted with me for a while. He hinted to me that he would try to see if I could be a deputy director next year. "
He Shengwen answered first.
He has a calm personality and works diligently in the supply and marketing cooperative. With his relationship with Wang Mengde, his future prospects are also very secure.
You may not be able to become a big leader, but after a few years of experience, it will be no problem for you to become the director of a supply and marketing cooperative store.
"Well, stay calm when things happen, don't be impatient, and when you are unsure, call me."
Wang Mengde nodded.
Then, he turned his attention to He Shengwu. He was still quite worried about his brother-in-law, who was extroverted and impatient, and who drove for his superiors in a government agency.
"Brother-in-law, I don't have much to do at work right now. I stay in the car class every day. When the leader needs to go out, I drive to pick him up.
Moreover, the leader of our unit has such a good relationship with you, and your colleagues are all aware of it, so you get along well with each other normally.
Don't worry, if there is anything in the future, I will consult with the leaders of the unit in time and will not make decisions on my own."
He Shengwu also said hurriedly.
He worked in the government agency for several years and gradually learned a lot.
"Yes, that's what I mean. Report more, ask for instructions more, and make decisions less."
Wang Mengde instructed: "When you have nothing to do, go to your father-in-law's house more often and ask Director Wang and others for advice."
He could not compare with the way Director Wang and his wife conducted themselves as officials. There were many twists and turns involved, and only people in the system could understand them.
"I know, brother-in-law."
He Shengwu quickly agreed.
At this time.
He Yanan on the side was a little unhappy. She said coquettishly: "Brother-in-law, you haven't asked me about my school yet."
"Haha, what can happen to you in school?"
Wang Mengde asked with a smile.
"Of course I have something to do. I've heard from a few classmates that there might not be classes when school starts in September. I don't know if this is true or not."
He Yanan told everyone the news she heard during the summer vacation.
At the same time, there was some worry on his face.
She is already in her second year of high school and will graduate in another year. With her grades, she should have no problem getting into college. It just depends on how she performs.
If you perform well, you can go to a key university, such as Renmin University or Beihang University. If you perform averagely, you can only go to an ordinary college.
But now that the news suddenly came out that there would be no classes, she became quite panicked.
"Yanan, don't worry. Go to school in a few days to check the situation. I guess it won't be that fast even if you don't have classes. You will graduate in a year.
If you don’t have the opportunity to go to university, it’s also good to get a diploma first. Then your brother-in-law will find you a good job.”
Wang Mengde comforted.
He was powerless in the face of this trend.
"Brother, what do you want to talk to us about?"
In the office, Li Xiang and several other junior fellow students asked curiously.
Today, the senior brother suddenly called them all over.
"Look, I'm going to publish two articles in international journals. I want to put your names on the author list. Do you have any objections?"
Wang Mengde said with a smile.
In another year or two, Mr. Pu will focus on seeing patients and writing books, and the position of vice president will just be a figurehead.
By then, he will definitely take a step forward and become the vice-president.
But he didn't want to give up on internal medicine, so he planned to find a capable and capable person among his fellow junior students to take over his class.
So he planned ahead and gave some additional qualifications to several of his junior fellow students.
"Brother, what is this article?"
Zhang Qiaoyu asked directly and frankly.
"Haha, it's about leukemia. Didn't I use arsenic as medicine before and found a way to treat it?
However, this method requires very high medical skills from the doctor. The dosage of medicine for each person is different, and medical accidents may occur if you are not careful.
These days, I have conducted further research and developed a drug.”
Wang Mengde explained.
