Chapter 384 Commendation Conference and New Papers
mid March.
Sunday.
Spring is here, and it is that annual season when everything comes back to life.
The weather has just turned warmer for a few days, and the magnolia flowers can't wait to bloom first, and green buds are quietly growing on the willow branches.
The sun has been very bright these days, and every household is taking advantage of the good weather to start unpacking and washing their winter clothes.
Especially for families with many children, the big winter cotton-padded jacket can be taken apart and the cotton taken out, turning it into a double-layer jacket, which is just right to wear in spring.
As for Wang Mengde's family, since there was no shortage of cloth, everyone in the family had two sets of spring clothes, so there was no need to worry.
Next to the pool in the middle courtyard.
Jia Zhang held a wash basin, squatted there and began to wash clothes diligently.
There were four or five people next to her, also washing clothes.
"In a few days, the wild vegetables in the field will grow. Should we go and dig some up together?"
At this time, Mrs. Wang started the topic.
Their conditions are average and they have many children. As the saying goes, the little boys eat them to death. There is no fat in their stomachs. They are all big eaters, like bottomless pits. They can never be full no matter how much they eat.
The monthly food ration is only enough to last for most of the month, and for the remaining few days at the end of the month, people can only survive on thin porridge.
As for the vegetables, they are the cabbages stored for the winter.
But no one could bear to eat boiled cabbage every meal for a whole winter, so when spring came, she thought of going to the suburbs to dig wild vegetables to eat.
First of all, we can see some green leafy vegetables to improve the food.
Secondly, mixing wild vegetables with cornmeal to make wild vegetable dumplings can also alleviate the food crisis at home.
"Okay, I'll go too, his second sister-in-law, you can ask me to come along when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang quickly agreed.
Her family is not wealthy, and her youngest son is planning to get married soon, so she is very happy to do anything that can save some money.
The other two middle-aged women also expressed their willingness to go together.
Only by forming a team of several people can you avoid being at a disadvantage. Otherwise, if you are alone or with too few people, you may easily be bullied when you meet other people digging wild vegetables in the wilderness.
Beside her, Jia Zhang hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go with you too."
Although she didn't want to go in her heart, the conditions of the Jia family did not allow her to be lazy.
Now Sha Zhu has married and has children, and the lunch boxes he brings back from the steel mill are all kept an eye on by Yu Li.
In addition, Jia Dongxu did not die in an accident as in the original drama, but became disabled.
Having an extra adult in the family but the salary remaining the same is like adding insult to injury.
Even Yi Zhonghai had long since stopped supporting their family.
Therefore, Jia Zhang's life was not as happy as in the original drama. Due to lack of nutrition, she did not gain much weight.
Although Wang Ersao and Aunt Zhang looked down on Jia Zhang, they thought that having one more person meant strength in numbers.
Moreover, when they encounter problems, having a shrew by their side will prevent others from looking down on them.
They were discussing on one side, while on the other side, Widow Meng was washing clothes for the child, with a look of disdain on her lips.
Except for a few, most of the women in the courtyard were hostile to her and subconsciously excluded her.
This behavior did not make her feel uncomfortable, on the contrary, it made her complacent.
There were many grown men in the courtyard. Every time they saw her from behind, she could feel the passion in their eyes.
Of course, except He Daqing who had the evil intention and courage, the others just wanted to satisfy her desire and did not dare to answer her easily in front of everyone.
If Xu Damao hadn't been watching her so closely, she and Brother He might have been able to have a more in-depth communication.
In two days, counting the days, Brother He should be returning to Beijing from Baoding. She felt as if her heart was burning with desire.
Unfortunately, the two people did not find the right opportunity.
Just when she was feeling regretful, she accidentally overheard the casual conversation of a few aunties across the street, and an idea instantly came to her mind.
Wang Mengde's home.
Because the temperature was rising, Ran Xiaomei said two days ago that she would come here to dry the bedding and clothes, so the family returned to Nanluoguxiang from Guang'anmen yesterday.
In the living room, He Shengnan was frowning, biting the tip of her pen, leaning over the table, staring at the blank draft papers in front of her.
At the end of last year, she was awarded as an advanced individual at Qinghe Woolen Factory.
At that time, the factory sent people to my home with drums and gongs to announce the good news, and also gave me a certificate and prizes.
In addition to these, at the general staff meeting, representatives of these new individuals, model workers and other recipients will also be able to take the stage to speak.
The leaders of their factory knew her relationship with Wang Mengde, so this honor fell on her.
As for why we are holding the general staff meeting only now, it is because the weather is too cold at the end of the year and there is no large enough indoor space to accommodate so many people.
Therefore, many units hold general staff meetings in the spring when the weather is warm.
"Mom, let's go to the entrance of the alley to see the flowers."
Yaya didn't know that her mother was worrying about her speech. She walked out of the bedroom and said happily.
"Yaya, be good. Mommy has something to do today. Can you go with daddy?"
He Shengnan touched the two pigtails on her daughter's head and spoke softly.
"Well, then mom, you're busy. I'll go with dad."
Although Yaya felt a little disappointed, she still spoke obediently.
At this time, Wang Mengde also came over, squatted down, picked up his daughter, and said with a smile:
"Yaya, Daddy will play with you today, and we can also go fly a kite."
"Okay, okay, I want to fly a kite, and fly it high."
"Then take the kite and go now."
"Yeah, let's go now."
A few minutes later, Wang Mengde took his four children and walked out of the yard, holding the kites they had made earlier.
Seeing that tall and broad figure, Meng Li's heart was filled with passion. This kind of man was her favorite. Unfortunately, even though she teased him many times, this man never fell in love with her.
evening.
The temperature gradually dropped a lot.
Wang Mengde carried his daughter and young son on his shoulders. Behind him, Wang Yuandi and Wang Yuanxun looked tired, carrying a lot of things in their hands, and followed weakly.
arrive home.
I saw a few pieces of draft paper still on the table in the living room, but they had been scribbled on.
But Wang Mengde could tell at a glance that there was not much useful content on it.
It seems that the daughter-in-law racked her brains for a long time but couldn't come up with a few words.
"Shengnan, how about I write a few paragraphs for you?"
Wang Mengde said softly after looking at his wife who was folding clothes in the bedroom.
This kind of speech at the company meeting was a piece of cake for him.
Over the years, he has received many honors every year and often speaks on stage as a representative.
Every time, he spoke fluently, even without a script.
"Meng De, then please help me write a few paragraphs."
He Shengnan said somewhat embarrassedly.
This morning, her husband offered to help her write it, but she refused.
She thought she could finish her speech with her own ability, but she had a lot of words in her mind but she just couldn't write them down.
Even if I force myself to write it down, the words still don't express the meaning clearly. Not to mention reading it out loud, even just looking at it feels a bit awkward.
"Don't worry, I guarantee that what I wrote will make you a sensation at the conference."
Wang Mengde said confidently.
A few years ago, he also gave a speech at the Nobel Prize ceremony.
Originally, the relevant departments wanted to prepare a speech for him in advance, but the speech he took out later silenced the people in the relevant departments, and then they acquiesced.
He could finish a speech like this at a general staff meeting of a factory in ten minutes, and the quality was very high.
He Shengnan naturally believed in her husband's ability, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
night.
Lying in bed.
After more than ten minutes, He Shengnan finally felt a little strength restored.
She struggled to get up, cleaned herself up, and then lay down next to Wang Mengde, whispering:
"Meng De, you were not in the yard this afternoon, and Xu Damao and his wife were arguing in the backyard again."
"Oh, don't they quarrel all the time? It would be strange if they didn't quarrel for three days."
Wang Mengde said indifferently.
Ever since Xu Damao was released from prison more than half a year ago, he and Widow Meng began to quarrel, and sometimes even got into physical fights.
Of course, the person who was beaten was Xu Damao.
He is now living in dire straits.
Not only was he forced by Widow Meng to do odd jobs every day, but he also had to go to his parents every now and then to ask for money and supplies.
“This time it was different, I heard it at home in the Central Courtyard.
Meng Li said that Xu Damao had to go to the suburbs to pick wild vegetables in two days, and he had to come back after dark, and he had to pick at least a full basket.
He Shengnan asked in surprise, "Why did you emphasize that he can't come back until the evening?"
Wang Mengde knew the answer to this question without even thinking about it.
It must be that Meng Li thinks Xu Damao is in the way, and it looks like He Daqing is going to succeed.
In this way, He Daqing and Xu Damao would be indirect brothers-in-law, and Sha Zhu would be a generation shorter for no reason.
But of course he wouldn't say such things.
"Don't think too much about other people's affairs. Go to bed quickly. You still have to give a speech tomorrow."
"Well, go to bed."
the next day.
When Wang Mengde returned home from get off work, he saw He Shengnan with a smile on her face.
It seems that the commendation conference of their unit was a very good experience this time.
really.
Seeing that he was back, He Shengnan couldn't wait to share her joy with her:
"Meng De, thanks to the speech you wrote for me, when I spoke on the stage today, all the workers in the audience applauded me enthusiastically, and the applause was the loudest among all the others.
By the way, even the leader of our factory praised me, saying that my speech was inspiring, and even asked for my speech manuscript. "
"Really? This is not just my credit. It must be because you performed well when you spoke."
Wang Mengde complimented with a smile.
But he felt a little amused in his heart. He guessed that the leader of Qinghe Woolen Factory wanted the speech because he wanted to keep it for reference in the future.
After all, what he wrote above was ahead of its time.
Whether in terms of height or level, people at that time could not compare with him.
Guanganmen Hospital.
In the intensive care unit.
Mike stood by with a happy look on his face, watching Wang Mengde carefully check his relative's recovery condition.
This time, I stayed in China for more than a month.
The complications of the ten patients with severe diabetes have been controlled.
Not only did the anthrax not expand, on the contrary, it showed signs of shrinking.
The most important thing is that the wounds that had rotted before, although not healed, are now forming scabs.
Especially the two patients with the most serious conditions can more intuitively reflect the effect of treatment.
In the eyes of doctors in major foreign hospitals, if amputation is not performed within half a month, there will definitely be a risk to life.
But after Wang Mengde's medication treatment, the two patients were not only no longer in danger of life, but their bodies also showed regrettable changes.
Before, I couldn’t get out of bed and could only lie in bed.
Now I can get up and walk slowly for a few minutes with the help of others.
"Doctor Wang, are you recovering well?"
When Wang Mengde stood up, Mike hurried over and asked in a low voice.
This patient is his own brother.
The relationship between the two people did not become distant because of family inheritance. On the contrary, they were very friendly.
“Yeah, it’s recovering well.
According to the current recovery speed, I will be able to be discharged from the hospital and return home in about a month."
Wang Mengde nodded and replied.
After gaining experience from treating Master He’s nephew and several others, he had a deeper understanding of the conditions of these ten foreign patients.
It is also easier to treat.
There were no unexpected situations in the process and everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.
"Oh, thank you, Dr. Wang. If it weren't for you, my brother's leg wouldn't be saved, maybe even his life."
Mike was overjoyed when he heard what he said.
His elder brother was one of the two whose condition was very serious.
I was a little desperate before, but I didn’t expect that I would be saved by Wang Mengde in China.
After coming out of this ward, Wang Mengde went to several other wards and checked them carefully.
The inspection results are very encouraging.
Everyone has improved to varying degrees. Those with relatively mild illnesses can be discharged from the hospital and return home after half a month.
Of course, even if they return to China, they will have to continue taking the medicine prescribed by Wang Mengde, otherwise the disease will recur.
Back to the office.
Looking at several disciples, he said in a deep voice:
“You have all recorded the situation during the ward rounds just now, right?
It must be written in detail without any omissions. After this batch of patients is discharged from the hospital, I will plan to write two papers and publish them in top foreign journals.
When the time comes, you can help me and then I can add my name to the end."
"Teacher, are our names also written on the paper?"
Wei Ming asked in disbelief.
The other people had the same expression and stared at Wang Mengde blankly.
