Chapter 268 Qin Jingru: My boyfriend's surname is Wang

"Meng De, you've worked hard this year. You haven't been able to rest for years."

In the conference room, Dean Lu said apologetically.

Today is the last leadership meeting held by the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine before the New Year.

At the meeting, after other work reports and holiday shifts were arranged, before the end, President Lu mentioned the recent situation of many foreign patients coming to seek medical treatment.

Ever since Wilson, his brother Karen and his son Al showed up in the United States, many well-informed families have obtained specific information.

Even some families in some European countries heard some rumors.

As a result, during this period of time, more than a dozen foreign patients have come to China through various channels and been admitted to the intensive care unit of Guang'anmen Hospital.

Since these people came for Wang Mengde's reputation, he needed to show up several times every day.

What's more, people abroad don't celebrate the Spring Festival, so he has no way to rest.

"Director, this is what I should do. During the New Year holiday, I will continue to come to the hospital for duty and treat those people every day."

Wang Mengde said with a normal expression.

He had already anticipated this outcome when the patients arrived one after another.

After coming out of the conference room, Wang Mengde called Wei Ming and a few others and went directly to the hospital's intensive care unit to start another inspection work for the day.

Every time he arrives at a ward, he will chat with the patient or his family, then take their pulse, and some patients will even be given a few injections.

Nowadays, patients are no longer afraid of acupuncture.

At the beginning, when they saw Wang Mengde holding dozens of silver needles and about to prick them into their bodies, several patients were so scared that they screamed and looked terrified.

Only after they tried it carefully once and found that there was no pain did they gladly accept this very unique treatment method for them.

It took less than two hours to finish the search.

Among these dozen patients, three suffered from leukemia, one was brain dead, and the others had different diseases.

In their respective countries, they are either rich or noble, otherwise they would not have been able to come to China. After all, this era is not like later generations, and the situation is even more tense.

Back in the clinic, Wang Mengde took out a thick notebook from the drawer and began to take notes on it.

He has three more notebooks of this kind, and they are filled with dense writing.

These are the diagnosis and treatment methods and experiences he recorded in the process of treating difficult and complicated diseases.

He plans to compile the information into a book called "Collection of Difficult and Complicated Cases" in a few years for his future disciples to study.

Of course, if the country needs it, he will not hide it.

Wei Ming and a few others also organized their own notes.

After following Wang Mengde for several months, they became more and more grateful that they had learned much more during this period than in the previous four or five years, including many secret recipes and single prescriptions.

As the saying goes, it is hard to meet a famous teacher, it is hard to find the true method, it is easy to get money, but it is hard to find the secret recipe.

If they followed other teachers, they would never be able to get so many secret recipes so easily.

In other words, Wang Mengde didn't care about these things. He would often take it out and use it while treating patients and patiently explain it to his disciples.

I was afraid that the students wouldn’t understand.

Therefore, they all cherish this opportunity very much and study and take notes attentively every day.

New Year's Eve.

night.

Wang Mengde hurriedly rode his bicycle home.

There are no pedestrians on the street anymore.

Except for necessary units, such as grocery stores, vegetable stores, supply and marketing cooperatives, public transportation, etc., the remaining enterprises and factories basically took half a day off in advance.

Wang Mengde came back late because he was making rounds on a dozen foreign patients this afternoon.

As I entered the alley, I immediately smelled the fragrance floating in the air.

At this time, every household is preparing a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner.

Home.

Ran Xiaomei held the pot lid in one hand and scooped out a chicken leg from the pot with a spatula in the other hand, and shouted into the bedroom:
"Yaya, go help grandma taste the chicken to see if it's cooked."

This rooster was bought by Wang Mengde from the Chaoyang Vegetable Market a few days ago. According to her distribution, the two chicken thighs would naturally go to one each for her granddaughter and daughter-in-law.

As for the two eldest grandsons, each of them got a chicken wing, while the brothers Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo could only gnaw on the chicken feet pitifully.

"Here I come, here I come, grandma."

Yaya, who was playing with toys in the bedroom, heard the sound, quickly put down the toys in her hand and ran out.

"Wash your hands first, then take the chicken drumstick."

"Yeah, I'll go wash my hands now."

When Wang Mengde entered the house, he saw his daughter holding a big chicken leg and gnawing on it vigorously, with a lot of oil on her face.

"Meng De is back. Hurry up and wash your face and hands with hot water. We can eat soon."

Seeing her son coming back, Ran Xiaomei said with a distressed look on her face.

The dinner table.

This year's New Year's Eve dinner at Lao Wang's house was particularly sumptuous.

The dozen or so family members of the patients who came this time were all savvy. They had already found out how much importance the Chinese people attached to the Chinese New Year and also knew some of the customs.

So, they all spontaneously sent a lot of meat, seafood, and other supplies to Wang Mengde and the hospital.

Even my hometown of Tiangezhuang and my father-in-law's family benefited from it. In addition to chicken, duck, fish and meat, the dinner table also had beef, mutton and seafood that I had never seen before.

If Wang Mengde hadn't explained it to them in detail several times, they really would not have known where to start with these seafood.

Moreover, not only are there many styles, but the portions are also surprisingly sufficient.

Adults and children alike ate until their bellies were full and their mouths were filled with oil.

Unlike other families who were filled with laughter and joy, the atmosphere in Xu Damao's house was a bit depressing at this time.

"Humph, the Lou family is getting more and more outrageous. This year, they even let their daughter go home directly. It's Chinese New Year now, and it doesn't make sense for a married daughter to go back to her parents' home at this time.

And Lou Xiao'e, not only can't have children, but she also has a lot of temper as a spoiled brat, getting upset and throwing tantrums at me if I say a few words."

Aunt Xu had a gloomy face and said angrily.

Yesterday, Lou Xiao'e had a heated argument with Xu Damao because she didn't want to go to the old house and wanted to spend a simple New Year's Eve together in Nanluoguxiang.

Finally, she packed up her things and went back to her parents' home in a huff.

Next to him, Xu Fugui looked normal. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all. When he put the glass down, his trembling hands betrayed him.

His mood was not as calm as his expression.

"Da Mao, how much money did the Lou family transfer here?"

"Dad, in addition to a few large yellow croaker gold bars, there are also some jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, jade and so on. According to my estimation, these things are worth at least tens of thousands of yuan."

Xu Damao said with some excitement.

Even though both he and his son were well-paid projectionists, they had never seen so much wealth.

Especially those large yellow croaker bars, which he couldn't let go of. He often took them out to play with them at night when no one was at home.

“I guess the Lou family is a cunning rabbit with three burrows. They will only transfer this money here and hide the rest somewhere else.

Although this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for the Lou family, it is already a lot for our family. Damao, now it depends on your thoughts. If you want to find a new wife, your mother and I will fully support you. After all, the Xu family is counting on you to carry on the family line. "

After thinking for a while, Xu Fugui spoke.

"Dad, I plan to take advantage of the time when Lou Xiao'e is back at her parents' home to look for someone else. If I can find the right one, I will divorce her.

If you can't find a suitable one, just stay here for now, maybe you can transfer money to it later."

Xu Damao blurted out.

This was what he really thought, and he had been thinking about it a year or two ago.

"Da Mao, do you have a girl you like? If not, I'll ask the neighbors here."

When Aunt Xu saw that her son wanted to find a new wife, she hurriedly spoke.

"Mom, don't worry, I'll find it myself first."

Xu Damao quickly refused.

He actually already had a goal in mind.

A few days ago, when he was chatting with Qin Huairu, he heard her talking about several cousins ​​from her mother's side. Not only were they all beautiful, but they were also able to give birth to sons after getting married.

She has another cousin from her third uncle's family, who is just 16 years old this year and is as beautiful as she was when she was young.

This made Xu Damao think that it would be great to have a son who is also handsome. Wouldn't that be perfect for him?

As for the rural household registration, he doesn't care about the fact that there will be no quota for the children he will have if he marries into the city.

If it is an ordinary family, they will definitely not be willing to marry a rural girl.

But the Xu family has two projectionists. The extra income every month and the local specialties given by fellow villagers are enough for the whole family to live a good life.

When Xu Damao thought that the girl who was as beautiful as Qin Huairu when she was young would become his wife in the future, he felt a surge of heat in his heart.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Xu Damao returned to Yard No. 95.

He walked straight into Lao Jia's house with a few sausages and a small piece of bacon in his hands.

Although she was a little puzzled as to why the other party was being so attentive, Jia Zhang, adhering to the idea that it would be foolish not to take advantage of an opportunity, quickly reached out and took the thing.

These are all good things, it would be a waste not to eat them.

After chatting for a few words, Xu Damao gave Qin Huairu a secret look, said nothing else, and then left.

"Hey, do you think Xu Damao is stupid? He gave our family so many good things. Oh, this sausage, save it for stir-frying with Chinese cabbage tomorrow."

Jia Zhang said with a happy look on her face.

"Mom, they gave you meat to eat, and you called them stupid."

Qin Huairu said with a frown.

Although she guessed that Xu Damao must have some purpose, he had sent a lot of good things after all, so Banggeng and Xiaodang could satisfy their cravings for a few days.

You know, at the New Year’s Eve dinner last night, there were not many meat dishes on their table, not even enough for the whole family.

Jia Zhang ignored her and carefully hid the sausages and bacon.

In a small alley in Nanluoguxiang Hutong.

Qin Huairu, with her big belly, smiled and said to Xu Damao who was not far away:
"Tell me, Xu Damao, what is your purpose today?"

“Haha, I knew I couldn’t hide it from my sister-in-law.

It's like this. You know the situation between Lou Xiao'e and me. She went back to her parents' home during the Chinese New Year and couldn't live like this anymore.

I want to find a new one. I remember you said some time ago that my cousin from my third uncle's family wanted to marry someone in the city, right? Can you help me make some connections?

Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain. Regardless of whether the matter can be accomplished in the end, I will give you a generous gift as a thank you."

Xu Damao did not hide anything and spoke directly.

"Oh, so you are thinking about my cousin.

No problem, after I give birth and finish my confinement, I will go back to my parents' home, bring my cousin over, and have her meet you as a blind date."

When Qin Huairu heard that he wanted her to introduce his cousin to him, she started to act tough.

"No, sister-in-law, please bring the person here as soon as possible.

By the way, you will definitely have to take the bus back and forth, and I can’t let you pay for the fare.”

Xu Damao was also a shrewd man, so he naturally knew what she meant, but he couldn't bear it.

You have to know that Qin Huairu will not give birth until April, and it will be May or June before she finishes the confinement period.

So he took out five dollars from his pocket and put it in her hand.

Of course, taking the opportunity to rub some oil and touch little hands is inevitable.

Seeing the five dollars in her hand, Qin Huairu was overjoyed. She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go there now and try to bring the person to you this afternoon."

If you use these five dollars frugally, they are enough for a person to live a basic life in Beijing.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

After Qin Huairu turned around and left, Xu Damao looked at her plump body fiercely a few times.

Then he spat on the ground, cursing Jia Dongxu in his heart for being a waste, as he had such a good gun mount at home but never used it often.

It's approaching noon.

Qingezhuang, Shahe Commune.

Qin Huairu, with her big belly, walked slowly towards her third uncle's house.

She thought to herself that since she had brought such great news to her uncle's family, it wouldn't be too much to have a meal of dumplings at their house for lunch.

After entering the yard, she shouted towards the main room, "Uncle San, is Uncle San home?"

"Who is it?"

Uncle Qin's voice came from inside the house.

After a while, the door of the main room opened, and a middle-aged man stuck his head out to look. Suddenly, a smell of meat wafted out.

"Uncle San, it's me."

"Oh, it's Huairu, when did you return to the village?"

Uncle Qin stood at the door and said with a smile that he had no intention of inviting Qin Huairu in.

"Uncle San, I just got back.

Oh, I have some good news. There is a neighbor in my yard who is a projectionist and wants to find a partner. I thought of Jingru and plan to take her to the city for a blind date this afternoon. Uncle San, what do you think? "

Qin Huairu said with a smile.

She was sure that the other party would be very happy and would take her home to eat meat dumplings.

At this time.

Qin Jingru held the bowl and poked her head out from behind Uncle Qin. She said loudly, "Sister, please go back. I have a partner."

"Ah? Who are you looking for? The one I introduced to you is from the city and has a good family background."

"Sister, I don't care about the people in the city.

By the way, my girlfriend’s surname is Wang, and she’s from Tiangezhuang.”
