Chapter 359 Sister-in-law’s Gift and Timely Relief
Come this year.

Many schools have suspended classes one after another.

Fortunately, He Yanan's high school managed to hold on until June, allowing her class to successfully obtain their high school diplomas.

Of course, if you want to go to college again, it won’t be that easy.

Although judging from her academic performance, it is not difficult for her to get into a good university.

However, Wang Mengde had already made plans for this. Regardless of whether she could go to college or not, he had prepared a good job for her in advance.

"How about going to the district's money management department? If you're willing, I'll arrange it for you right away. I have acquaintances there, and you have a good education, so it's a sure thing."

“Brother-in-law, I will follow your instructions and go to this department.”

He Yanan said with a smile.

In fact, she hadn't decided which unit or department to go to.

Most of her classmates have already found jobs they like. After all, a high school diploma is considered a high level of education in that era, and many companies are vying for it.

Even she was no exception. Many large state-owned enterprises had approached her, and her teacher had also talked to her twice and asked about her intentions.

Since her brother-in-law had already told her about this matter, she declined all those offers from units and teachers.

"Okay, then you just wait for the news, it should be soon."

Wang Mengde said confidently.

Not to mention the department in charge of money in the district, he has the ability to get his sister-in-law into the department one level higher, or even two levels higher.

Last year, the medical system's drug export business earned the country more than 700 million US dollars in foreign exchange income.

Among them, the research results of Wang Mengde alone accounted for more than 600 million.

This money has greatly alleviated the country's financial pressure.

Leaders of several departments, including the leader of the department in charge of money, always express their gratitude whenever they meet the leaders of the health and family planning system in a meeting.

And Wang Mengde's name will be mentioned specifically.

This has led to people from many departments being willing to provide some help without violating principles.

It is a piece of cake to get someone into the department who has a decent education.

"Thank you, brother-in-law. I'll wait at home then."

After He Yanan finished speaking, she reached out and picked up a piece of watermelon on the table and started eating it.

She is never polite every time she comes to her brother-in-law's house.

"Haha, have lunch at home at noon. When you go back in the afternoon, bring some back for Grandpa and the others to taste."

Wang Mengde smiled and said as he saw how much his sister-in-law liked it.

Before He Yanan could speak, he suddenly remembered something and said:
"By the way, you will be working from now on, is there any gift you want?"

Before I graduated, because I was still a student, he basically never gave me any expensive gifts for fear that it would affect my studies.

At most, it would be some clothes, snacks, some gadgets, etc.

Now that I have graduated and will be starting work soon, it is time for me to have some decent personal belongings.

"Thank you, brother-in-law. I want a women's bicycle so it will be convenient for commuting to get off work in the future."

He Yanan said happily.

Beside her, He Shengnan's face looked a little bad.

The current price of a bicycle is nearly 180 yuan, and you also need a bicycle ticket or 50 industrial coupons.

These money and tickets are a huge expense for an ordinary family.

Many families may not even earn 30 or 40 yuan a month. After deducting expenses, it would take at least two years to save up more than 180 yuan.

Not to mention industrial vouchers.

For most families, industrial coupons are simply not enough, and families that can save up ten coupons a year are rare.

After all, buying industrial products now requires industrial coupons.

Of course their family could come up with the money and industrial coupons, and it would be easy.

But after all, she has married into Lao Wang's family, and her younger sister from her natal family is also a close relative, but she also has to be careful about the limits.

Thinking of this, she quickly interrupted:
"Yanan, the bicycle is too expensive. You can't accept this one. When you start working and earning money, buy it yourself. Get another gift instead."

"Okay, brother-in-law, I'll think about it and see what gift I want. I'll tell you when I'm done."

After hearing what her sister said, He Yanan felt a little unhappy, but at the same time she also reacted.

A bicycle is indeed too expensive. Even though my brother-in-law has three at home, they only have one.

But most of the neighbors around still can't afford it.

"Haha, it's okay. A bicycle doesn't cost much. We have saved so many industrial coupons. If we don't use them anymore, they will soon go moldy.

It just so happens that Yanan is about to go to work, and it would be much more convenient to have a bicycle. She doesn’t have to walk here anymore.”

Wang Mengde said with a smile.

He and Wang Hao both earned over a hundred yuan a month, and they also received a lot of corresponding industrial coupons, more than a dozen a month.

In addition, most of the food and daily necessities at home were donated by foreign patients, and the family rarely buys anything of their own.

This resulted in more and more industrial coupons being accumulated at home.

When he said that the tree was about to become moldy, he was not exaggerating at all, but was telling the truth.

Before the Chinese New Year, Ran Xiaomei and He Shengnan did a thorough cleaning and dug out more than 20 industrial coupons from the bottom of a box, all of which had begun to grow mold.

That means it was discovered in time. If it had been discovered a year later, it would definitely have been unusable.

"Hehe, my brother-in-law is still good to me."

When He Yanan saw that her brother-in-law had spoken, she happily put the watermelon rind away, then moved closer to Wang Mengde with a flattering look on her face.

If her hands weren't sticky, she would have hugged her brother-in-law's arm and shook it a few times as usual.

He Shengnan showed a helpless expression on her face, but of course, she was very happy in her heart.

My man is so good to my family.

"It's better to go wash your hands soon. I'll take you to the department store to buy a bicycle later."

As Wang Mengde said this, he stood up and took out a handful of money and industrial coupons from the box in the bedroom.

It's approaching noon.

Alley entrance.

Wang Mengde and his sister-in-law, who looked very excited and was riding a brand new women's "Feige" bicycle, rode over from the south.

Under the osmanthus tree.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were playing chess with other neighbors in the alley.

Yan Bugui had sharp eyes and spotted Wang Mengde from a distance. He whispered to Liu Haizhong:
"Old Liu, Meng De is back, and it looks like he bought a bicycle for his sister-in-law.

Oh, you are indeed the most powerful person in our alley. Even the gift you gave is so expensive."

As he spoke, his face was full of envy.

If you want to buy a bicycle for yourself, you have to save up industrial coupons and money for several years by living frugally, and you have to borrow money from colleagues.

And that little girl, who was less than 20 years old, just graduated from high school, immediately owned one.

It's just that people are more popular than dead people.

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong quickly raised his head and looked at it, saying:
"Old Yan, we can't envy this. It's a real talent for others to be able to afford it."

He was different from Yan Bugui. He was a seventh-level fitter in the steel mill, earning eighty or ninety yuan a month, and had four industrial coupons. If he wanted to buy a big item, he just had to grit his teeth and save up for two years.

noon.

arrive home.

Smelling the aroma of meat wafting from the central courtyard, Yan Bugui took a few greedy breaths before reluctantly walking through the door.

There is no need to guess, this must be Wang Mengde’s family cooking meat again.

In the past two or three years, the Wang family would cook a meat meal every few days. Not only pork, chicken, duck, and fish, but also relatively rare meat dishes such as beef and mutton.

Yan Bugui thought about it and realized that he hadn't eaten beef or mutton for seven or eight years, and now he had forgotten what it tasted like.

"Old Yan, wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

The second aunt was busy in the house, her forehead covered with sweat. When she saw her husband come in, she urged him to come in.

The meal at home today was noodle porridge, steamed corn bread, and a small dish of pickles.

Ever since schools gradually stopped classes, life has become increasingly difficult for the Yan family.

In other words, Yan Bugui could catch some fish every day to supplement the family income, and also take a little from his two sons, so that he could barely have a slight surplus and did not need to use his savings.

"Yang Ruihua, guess what I just saw."

Yan Bugui couldn't help but speak, and before his wife could speak, he couldn't help but reveal the answer:
"Wang Mengde just bought his sister-in-law a brand new bicycle."

"Oh, you are so willing to spend money. This bicycle costs nearly two hundred yuan, and it also costs fifty industrial coupons."

"Who said it wasn't? How come we don't have such relatives in our family?"

"Hey, Old Yan, you can't find such a relative by chance. There are tens of thousands of people in our street, but there is only one Wang Mengde.

By the way, isn’t Shengnan’s sister just 18 or 19 years old? She is about the same age as our Jiefang. Do you think we can let them develop some more?”

The second aunt said with anticipation on her face.

If my son and Wang Mengde's sister-in-law get married, they will be brothers-in-law.

If any benefit leaked out in the future, it would be enough for their family to eat and drink, not to mention finding a job.

Unfortunately, her fantasy was quite beautiful, but Yan Bugui was a sober person and poured cold water on her:

"Don't think about it, do you think I haven't thought about it?

I went to the Intermediate Court to inquire about it some time ago. The girl has just graduated from high school, and Wang Mengde will definitely arrange a good job for her soon. He has high standards.

Besides, our Jiefang doesn’t even have a proper job, so people will definitely look down on him.”

Middle Court.

The dinner table.

Ran Xiaomei looked at He Yanan, who looked 70% similar to her sister, and the idea of ​​matchmaking came to her mind again.

"Yanan, you've just graduated and are going to start working soon, so it's time to find a partner.

Tell me what kind of boy you want to find, and I will look for him for you during this period of time."

"Aunt, I'm still young, and I'm not looking for a partner for the time being."

He Yanan, who was trying hard to eat lamb chops with her head down, blushed slightly when she heard this. She secretly glanced at her brother-in-law and said in a low voice.

"You're not young anymore. You'll be twenty soon. When you want to find one, tell me and I'll find you an excellent boy."

Ran Xiaomei smiled and shook her head.

After talking about this topic, the family started talking about other things.

He Yanan lowered her head, thinking about the fact that he had just promised to help her find a partner. Even the delicious lamb chops she had just eaten suddenly lost their taste.

Beijing Gene Research Institute.

in the office.

Huang Sizhong and others were reporting their work to Wang Mengde.

"Brother, according to your instructions, we reported the development of 'Levofloxacin' to our superiors a few days ago and received strong support from them.

Therefore, the clinical trial is progressing very quickly and smoothly, and we have already received some feedback, and the results are very good.”

Huang Sizhong's face was filled with an irrepressible smile, and he said excitedly:

“This drug, as you said, is not only effective against most Enterobacteriaceae, but also has a strong effect on pneumonia.

By the way, the higher authorities also took some of the drugs away and conducted clinical trials on cholera patients in the south, and the results were amazing.

Several patients who were originally in serious condition quickly got better after taking it, and patients with mild symptoms recovered after using it a few times. "

Behind him, Jiang Xiaosi, Yu Tong and several other young men could hardly hide their joy and their faces turned red.

If they hadn't been in front of Wang Mengde, they would definitely have jumped up and shouted excitedly.

In the Gene Research Institute, after more than a month of fermentation, all colleagues knew that they were assisting Wang Mengde in researching new drugs,

Those who came in with them were all extremely envious, and every time they met, they revealed looks of envy.

When the old people talked about this incident, they all sighed that they were so lucky.

Just something as simple as doing a little experiment can potentially yield huge benefits in the future.

Before, there were some lucky people in the research institute who, like them, participated in Wang Mengde’s project and gained both fame and fortune.

With this relationship, I have now left my peers behind.

"Not bad, it seems that our drug has been successfully developed.

The next step is to step up production in the laboratory and study how to conduct industrial production.”

Wang Mengde nodded and praised.

At the same time, it also arranges what needs to be done in the future.

"Yes, Brother, I will do as you tell me when I get back."

Huang Sizhong said respectfully.

This time, he is also half the person in charge of the project. Yesterday, the director of the Genetic Research Institute took him to a meeting with his superiors.

His superior praised him highly at the meeting and patted him on the shoulder before leaving.

After he came back, the director had a talk with him, and his words implied that he should be prepared in advance, as he would make further progress this year and would have a heavier burden in the future.

Mid June.

Due to the heavy rain last night, the temperature this morning is not that hot.

At this time, a mobilization meeting was in progress.

Hundreds of medical staff sat in the audience and listened quietly.

On the stage, a superior leader was mobilizing and encouraging the people present.

"Comrades, this time, you are going to Africa to represent China, to provide assistance to them, to train barefoot doctors, and to establish a medical system.

I hope everyone can carry forward the GM spirit of not fearing hardship or fatigue. . . "

After half an hour.

After hundreds of medical staff lined up to set off, the superiors stood there with a look of reluctance on their faces.

Next to him, the secretary whispered, "Leader, they have made preparations for their trip this time, nothing will happen."

"Well, I hope so. Fortunately, Comrade Wang Mengde has developed a special medicine to treat cholera. It is just in time."
