All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 471 471 He Minzhi’s request for help

"Grandma, you have wronged me. I am not lavish. On the contrary, I know how to live my life and plan carefully."

Yue Wenxuan began to argue plausibly: "These dried vegetables look like a lot, and our family may not be able to eat them, but buying them now is so cheap!

Do you know how much I spent in total?
It didn’t cost 20 (20 yuan) in total!On average, it’s only six to seven hundred per catty.If converted into fresh vegetables, the price may not even be 100 yuan per catty.

But if it’s the twelfth lunar month of winter, do you know how expensive it is?It’s not much cheaper than pork, and you may not be able to buy it if you have money.

At that time, if our family can't eat anything, we can just sell some to make money for the winter's vegetables.

Of course, our family is not short of money, so there is no need to take this idea, but even if you give it as a gift, you can still earn a lot of favors. "

"Is it so cheap?" The price was beyond the old lady's expectation. "I went to the vegetable market two days ago and met a seller selling dried eggplants. He offered a price of one thousand and one hundred yuan per catty. I originally planned to buy some, but The price is too expensive, I can’t bear to buy it.”

Of course there is some water in the price Yue Wenxuan said.

The various dried vegetables he put in the vegetable cellar, even the more common dried beans and eggplants, were only bought in small quantities from outside, and most of them were made using space.

He has a convenient space, so of course he must make use of it. Not only does it save money, but the key is that the dried vegetables are of good quality.

He uses space to make dried vegetables that directly extract moisture. The dried vegetables are in good condition and have a better color. They are attractive to look at and taste good to eat.

"If it weren't for the cheap price, I wouldn't have needed to buy so much." Yue Wenxuan had already thought of the reason. "I was also lucky. I met a fellow villager who brought various dried vegetables to the city to sell them. The prices were not high and they looked good. It’s pretty good, of course I need to buy more.”

"You are indeed very lucky to be able to buy such cheap dried vegetables. I wrongly blamed you. Seeing how well these dried vegetables were dried, I thought you bought them at a high price."

After hearing her grandson's explanation, the old lady immediately became happy, "The vegetable market near us is too small, and you can't easily see the people selling vegetables. With these, we can eat here and there during the winter, and our family's life can be easy." It’s so good, I probably have to gain a few pounds.”

"No, as long as I think about the fact that our family could only eat sauerkraut in the winter a few years ago, I'm enough. I've had enough of this kind of life."

When her grandson mentioned sauerkraut, the old lady remembered that she didn’t have a big vat for pickling sauerkraut at home, so she quickly warned:

“The landlord’s house is quite complete, but it’s just missing a big vat. Without this big vat, I can’t pickle sauerkraut for you.

For us Northeasterners, it would be impossible to live without sauerkraut in winter.While there's nothing else to do these days, hurry up and buy it for me. It's getting cold, so I have to marinate it quickly. "

"Then I'll buy it this afternoon. Is one tank enough? Do you want to buy more?"

"After all, it's not our own yard. Let's buy a vat first and make do with it. There are so many dried vegetables to go with it this year. A vat of sauerkraut is almost enough to eat."

Yue Wenxuan is also very positive about pickling sauerkraut.

He has memories of living in the Northeast in this life, and he is used to eating sauerkraut in winter, not Chinese cabbage all day long.

Pickled sauerkraut, whether fried or stewed, is more refreshing than fried tender Chinese cabbage.Moreover, after the sauerkraut is pickled, it will not be lost due to the continuation of time, while the Chinese cabbage stored in the vegetable cellar will always have some wear and tear. If it is stored until the Chinese New Year, I don’t know how many layers of skin will be peeled off.

The Northeastern people's practice of pickling sauerkraut in large quantities is obviously more worthy of promotion, but having a large vat at home is a must.

Although a large tank is not worth much, people with poor conditions may not be able to afford it.

The old lady and Huang Yijun are both masters of pickling sauerkraut. After Yue Wenxuan bought the big vat, he didn't need to worry about the rest.

After a few days of busy work, the Yue family is fully prepared for the winter. There is no need to prepare other things in advance. It is never too late to buy them in the market whenever there is a need.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the family was busy making pickled vegetables. He Minzhi, a busy man, suddenly walked into the small courtyard, leading several strangers behind him.

"Auntie, what are you busy with? Are you planning to pickle sauerkraut?" He Minzhi asked curiously.

He is from the south. He has never pickled sauerkraut at home, and he has never seen anyone else do this job, so it looks very fresh.

“In the north, we don’t have many vegetables to eat in the winter, so we live on cabbage.

Pickled cabbage is an appetizer and our whole family loves it. When I pick it up, you can try it too. It is definitely much better than stir-fried Chinese cabbage. "

After saying these words, the old lady looked carefully at the people behind He Minzhi, and then said:

"You brought a guest today. Let's stop standing and talking in the yard. Let's go inside quickly and let the guest drink a cup of hot water."

"Seeing you pickling sauerkraut, I thought it was quite new. I forgot to introduce it to you."

He Minzhi pointed to a few people behind him and said, "These are my two younger brothers from my natal family and my eldest nephew."

Yue Wenxuan had noticed these people for a long time and had been guessing about the identities of these three people. He did not expect that they would be He Minzhi's relatives.

Among the three people, the two older ones must be He Minzhi's two younger brothers. The oldest one looks to be a few years younger than He Minzhi, and he looks very haggard and not in good spirits.

After being polite, Huang Yijun let the guest into the room.

After entering the room, He Minzhi said bluntly: "I'm here to ask for help. My eldest brother has gallstones and his condition is very serious. The conditions of the local hospital are too poor and they don't dare to do it. I came to Beijing specifically this time." For surgery.

They just came here, and I don't have a place to put them there. The military area has strict inspections and won't let their families stay overnight. I can only let them stay at your house for two days. "

Huang Yijun said without thinking: "It's right to come to my place. I can just spare a room. The three of them can stay there as long as they want."

"I won't be staying long. It's a bit late today. I'm afraid I won't have time to go to the hospital now, so I might as well leave early tomorrow morning.

My eldest brother will definitely have to be hospitalized for his illness. If he is hospitalized, my second brother and my eldest nephew will have to stay with him in the hospital, and they probably won't have time to go home. "

"Have you decided which hospital to go to?" Huang Yijun continued to ask with concern.

He Minzhi said: "I have asked someone to inquire. The medical conditions in our military hospital are still a little poor. It is best to go to the main hospital for this operation, which will be more reliable." "As long as you make arrangements, I will do this." I don’t understand. I just have nothing to do at home during this period, and I can’t help with anything else. It’s okay to send me a meal.

You are busy with work, so you won't be able to take care of it. Leave it to me to deliver food to them from now on, so you don't have to worry about it. "

Huang Yijun said it sincerely, and He Minzhi was not polite to him: "Fortunately, I still have a friend like you, otherwise, I really don't know what to do.

During this time, I was very busy with the work I was responsible for, and I really couldn’t spare much time. It was okay to go once or twice occasionally, but I really didn’t have the conditions to go there every day. "

"Just go about your business. If you have any questions, tell me and I will definitely take care of it for you.

In addition, I would like to ask one more question, since it is an operation, it will probably cost a lot of money. Are the funds prepared adequately?

You also know the situation of our family. Wenxuan has money in his hands. If you need it, just speak, but don't be polite. This is not the time to be polite. "

Huang Yijun's words really hit the mark on He Minzhi's mind. This was indeed the biggest problem in her heart.

Why did her natal brother come to the capital for surgery?On the one hand, the medical conditions in Beijing are really good, and on the other hand, it’s because of money.

He Minzhi's hometown is a small town in the south. When she was young, the family's conditions were not bad, but due to the war, they have become impoverished over the years.

A few decades later, gallbladder removal was just a minor operation, but in this era it is a major operation that requires disembowelment. Not only is the operation highly risky, but it also costs a lot of money.

In this era, ordinary people may not be able to afford even a shot of penicillin, let alone the cost of surgery.

After all, this is a matter of saving lives. Relatives and friends in my hometown have tried their best to chip in money, but after excluding the travel expenses of three people, there is only 10,000+ left.

He Minzhi has already inquired with someone. For treatment in the main hospital, apart from the subsidies she can enjoy, the cost of treatment will be at least 70 million yuan!
She doesn't even have 20 yuan in savings. Even if she adds the 10,000+ from her hometown, there is still a gap of 40 yuan.

Treatment is a life-saving matter, but it cannot be ignored. The hundreds of thousands of dollars left behind can only be solved by her.

Whenever she opened her mouth to borrow money, it was an embarrassing thing. She was worried about what to say, and Huang Yijun took the initiative to bring it up, which moved her deeply.

She grabbed Huang Yijun's hand tightly and said emotionally: "Yijun, I have asked you for help again and again. I won't say thank you. I will save money as soon as possible to pay off the part I owe you.

But you also know that Lao Lu and I’s allowance is only this small amount every month, and it will definitely not be enough for a while, so we can only take our time. "

Before my mother could speak, Yue Wenxuan interjected from the side:
"Aunt He, if you say that, I won't be happy.

Uncle Lu is my dad's best comrade-in-arms, and I have always regarded him as my uncle.Your family has encountered a problem. It is my responsibility to do my part as long as I am able.

You are well aware of my situation. My father supports so many comrades, and I have always supported them.

Now it's our turn to have trouble with the people around us. Can I still just watch and ignore it? "

Not to mention that Lu Huaiqian was his father's best comrade-in-arms, because of his identity, even if he didn't know him, as long as he knew about it, he would be happy to help.

In his second life, he was a soldier and had the same experience. He knew best how miserable and difficult it was for soldiers in this era.

They have always been dedicated and have always been strict with themselves. They can bleed for the revolution and sacrifice their lives for the people, but their lives are the most difficult.

Lu Huaiqian's position is high enough, but the monthly allowance at his disposal is only [-] (six yuan)!
He enjoys the supply system, and he does not have to worry about food and drink, but revolutionary soldiers do not just pop out of the cracks in the rocks. They also have relatives to take care of and friends to communicate with!

But he only had such a little spare money in his hand, and his relatives came for help. What could he do?
It is precisely because of these practical difficulties that after several years of appeals and discussions, a wage system could be introduced in [-].

If the Yue family had not been funded by Yue Wenxuan, they would also have faced huge financial difficulties.

He Minzhi was naturally moved by Yue Wenxuan's statement, but she still said:
"Wenxuan, Auntie understands what you mean, but this is the responsibility that Auntie should fulfill. Since it is my responsibility, it cannot be passed on to you, although it may not be worth mentioning to you.

But things can’t be done like this!

If you can lend a hand to help, you have solved a huge problem for me. Auntie is not polite to you, but the money must be paid back, but it may take a long time. "

"Aunt He, I also want to call you uncle when it comes to your brother. When uncle comes to Beijing for treatment, I should naturally run around to help him.

I will also go to the hospital with you tomorrow. Don't worry about paying the fees. I will be responsible for it.

To treat my uncle, do I have to ask him to write an IOU?That's not how things are done.

Now that I have caught up, I will pay for it.Anyone who insists on paying back the money is trying to draw a clear line with me. This is a kind of harm to me and I cannot accept it. "

Uncle He roughly knew the relationship between his brother-in-law Lu Huaiqian and the Yue family. Hearing what Yue Wenxuan said, he felt ashamed and moved at the same time.

He is also a person who has read books and cares about face. Ever since he fell ill, he has been under a lot of pressure.

Now that Yue Wenxuan, whom he had met for the first time, was actually willing to help him without asking for anything in return, the depression in his heart suddenly surged into his heart during this period of time, and an unspeakable sourness filled his heart.

He looked at Yue Wenxuan and said sincerely: "Wenxuan, if you are willing to call me uncle, I will be very happy.

I have such a disease and it has brought so much burden and trouble to my loved ones around me, which makes me feel very uneasy.

But treatment is life-saving. Everyone is so enthusiastic and proactive. As a client, I cannot give up.

But I must bear the responsibilities that I should bear. I can accept everyone's help, but after I am able to give back, you must also give me the opportunity to give back. Do you think this is the truth?
My uncle won't give you an IOU, but he can't forget this feeling. When I recover from my illness and become capable, I will eventually pay back the money.

Not just you, anyone's help to me is not taken for granted. I accept everyone's help, but I will pay back every penny you spend on me sooner or later. "
