The old Chinese doctor in the courtyard

Chapter 159

After talking with Mr. Xie, Li Shengli didn't want to go home and be questioned by his wife, and he didn't know how to make a living at the Xiao's house.

So he wandered all the way to Beixinqiao Xinhua Bookstore, walked to the door of the bookstore, thinking about what he had just said to Mr. Xie, Li Shengli hesitated and stepped into the bookstore.

The current bookstore is different from the open bookstore in the future. Most of the books are placed on the shelves inside the counter.

Thinking about picking up books in the bookstore like in later generations, you have to pass the salesman first.

You have to buy the book if it is dirty; if you read it or not, you will roll your eyes; when you meet a salesperson whose life is not going well, you have to endure scolding.

If there was a fight, the person who rubbed the books was also at a disadvantage. He was not familiar with the salesperson in the bookstore, so there was no way to rub the books in the bookstore.

Li Shengli stood outside the counter, looking at the books inside, and glanced at him, some were flat, some were ridiculed, some were indifferent, and some were contemptuous.

He had seen the hardcover version of the Golden Book of Medicine in 53, and the simplified version in 63. He really wanted to buy it when he saw the medical books costing more than a dozen yuan a set.

But I really didn't dare to buy it, not because I didn't have enough money to afford it, but because the Li family couldn't afford it.

Twenty for one set, and sixty for three sets. The Li family is not a wealthy family, and they will not only buy three sets of medical books.

There are ten sets of eight sets of medical books, which have caught up with the wealth that the Li family has saved for more than ten years.

In the future, there will be a huge amount of property whose origin is unknown, and it is the same now.

The unexplainable origin, and the appearance of things that do not meet the financial conditions of the family, appearing in Li's house is evidence of someone else's complaint.

There are rewards for reporting, and it is not unique to later generations. Without the real estate of one certificate and two hospitals, Li Shengli dared to buy a few medical books to go back.

With real estate, family assets, and years of consumption, such big items as bicycles, radios, and sewing machines should not appear in the Li family.

With these, salary income is not directly proportional to expenditure, which is also evidence of speculation.

After standing and looking at it for a while, Li Shengli finally made a move and bought three sets of Guwen Guanzhi from Zhonghua Book Company, one set was [-] yuan, and the third set was [-] cents.

I bought another anthology for three yuan. This is a book that Li Shengli has never read before, and it will be very important in the future.

After paying seven yuan and fifty cents, Li Shengli asked the salesperson to wrap Wenxuan in two layers.

This is a sacred book, and the ancient prose he chose does not need to be wrapped, so the salesperson dare not have any objections.

Put the wrapped anthology into the inner pocket of the jacket, and carry the Guwen Guanzhi tied with hemp rope in his hand.

Under the envious eyes of many people, Li Shengli walked out of the bookstore.

These days, being able to enter the house and smell the fragrance of books is considered reading, and it is not something ordinary people can afford to actually buy those big tomes.

Lack of material, reading is also a luxury for most people, and many things happen because of their root causes.

Looking at the time, it was past eleven o'clock, and Li Shengli was not in a hurry to go home.

In a small cafeteria nearby, I ordered [-] cents a piece of fried liver tip without meat. After eating two steamed buns with white noodles, Li Shengli, who finished stealing his mouth, sighed softly.

I am afraid that the old lady can only eat steamed buns with steamed buns. Years and years later, the family must have a few meals of white noodle steamed buns. After all, there is still stock in Xiao's house.

After lunch, he went to Xiao's house in Banqiao Hutong to stay for half an afternoon. Li Shengli wrapped a set of quilted cotton jacket and cotton trousers in sacks, and went back to the courtyard with them.

Entering the main room, the former uncle Han Jinhu, now Sun Wuyang, was squatting near the door, counting the dust on the ground.

The old lady Han Jinhua was sitting on the twig, staring at her brother's luck.

"Han Jinhu, your nephew is back, do you need to confess to each other?"

Seeing her eldest son come back, Han Jinhua raised her eyebrows, thinking of venting her anger on her son, she threw it directly at her brother who was squatting on the ground.

"Mom, I can't be called Han Jinhu from now on, but student Sun Wuyang.

Student Sun Wuyang, here are your cotton clothes and trousers, put them away first. "

After making eye contact with my uncle a few times, Li Shengli, who found that the two were not on the same channel at all, could only talk about things with the cotton coat and trousers in his hand.

"Victory, I didn't give up at all. I didn't answer what you said."

While getting up to pick up the burden, my uncle whispered the confession in Li Shengli's ear.

Seeing that her younger brother dared to make a confession in person, Han Jinhua knew that going to school this time probably cost a lot of money.

If the son doesn't tell, and the younger brother conceals it, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out the truth about it.

"Okay, you two don't need to confess to each other anymore, I will believe whatever you say.

Han...Sun Wuyang, right?

Don't go back to my hometown in Tongxian County until I graduate, and I rarely come to the courtyard.

When things happen, ask about victory, and don't compete with others at school.

What are you two supposed to do..."

As for her younger brother, Han Jinhua treats her son the same way, and there is nothing she can do now.

Although she was full of worries, there must be a reason for the eldest son not to let him speak, so she simply stopped asking.

"Student Sun Wuyang, this is the Mao Xuan I bought at the bookstore today.

This book is given to you, no matter it is wind, fire, thunder and lightning, this book cannot be damaged in the slightest, you must keep it in your heart.

I will give you three months to memorize the contents of the book, and you can't miss a single word!

It is not necessary to read the books in school, but this book must be memorized verbatim!
Mom, please be a witness. If Sun Wuyang can't memorize this book, he should be Han Jinhu again! "

Seeing his uncle in good spirits, Li Shengli also assigned him a short-term task, which was to memorize the text selection.

This will be the ladder of progress in the next ten years, and no book can reach such a height.

"Sun Wuyang, you have to recite the victory, you have to recite it, and you have to recite it even if you don't eat, drink or sleep!"

Seeing the solemnity of the elder son, Han Jinhua supported him unconditionally, calling out an unfamiliar name, and his younger brother's appearance was a little blurred in his eyes.

"Sister, the school also gives money, 18 yuan and five yuan a month, which is one and a half years' money, 310 and five yuan, and 560 catties of food stamps, two and a half catties of meat stamps."

Just like what Li Shengli thought, the original owner's student status was about to be revoked, and after being admitted to school, he didn't come to school for a year and a half, the school should respond.

Although Du Peng said he picked up a bargain, Li Shengli also knew that the Iron and Steel Institute is a first-class university, let alone one thousand and two.

It's really two thousand, and if you put it on the street, it can make people steal their heads. After the school's minimum internship salary of 47 yuan, two thousand is not much to buy a place.

As for the supplementary subsidy issued by the school, Li Shengli didn't pay much attention to it. He spent 300 yuan, and it didn't matter if he was looking for more than [-] yuan.

With this money, the Li family can't squander it recklessly. It really doesn't matter how much extra money is in these days.

Han Jinhua also looked at the money and food stamps on the table, and then at the eldest son, wanting to share a share, but couldn't ask.

"This money and the food stamps should be divided among the people in Tong County's hometown. Mom, is three shares enough?"

My uncle took care of it, and so did the uncles and uncles in Tongxian County. Chickens and dogs still need to ascend to heaven.

Seeing that the old lady was silent, Li Shengli spoke out for the old lady.

"Okay, your uncle's family and uncle's family, 150 yuan for a family, 150 catties of food stamps...

The life down here is bitter, your uncle's family probably hasn't had enough to eat for several years. "

Looking at the money note in front of her, Han Jinhua's heart also flew to Tong County. Although they didn't communicate much, the brothers and sisters of the Li family and the Han family had a good relationship.

This is also a difficult time, the deep feelings that come from helping each other.

"Mom, let's leave 100 yuan for the family, leave [-] yuan for my uncle, it will be useful to enter the school.

Uncle, when you enter the school, someone must be watching the money on your body.

Borrowers cannot be borrowed from other countries. If the conditions are not good but they are good people, you can directly invite them to dinner.

People rely on people to be king, you know how to win over people, right?

Ask me for money after you've spent it. You always have to recruit a dozen friends who are reliable and fit enough to fight. "

Li Shengli, who is familiar with Wali, knows that money is not as easy to use as food stamps in rural areas, and a few dozen yuan is enough.

But the more food stamps, the better. Although buying grain in the city depends on the amount of the grain, but the restaurant does not look at your amount. They only charge money and food stamps. With food stamps, there will be more people.

Li Shengli also has his own ideas about letting his uncle go to college, but we will have to wait and see if it is feasible.

"Shengli, I understand what you said, I will do this, don't you just eat and drink?"

After listening to my uncle's answer, Li Shengli nodded. With the teaching of the second shopkeeper of the clothing estimate shop, this kind of worldly experience, my uncle will not know it, so it can't be justified.

"Mom, in anticipation of Chinese New Year, you should go back to your hometown in Tong County.

Pack up some new year's goods and take them back, saying that my uncle can't survive in his hometown and fled to the northeast.

There is a happy event at home, let me add a meat dish tonight..."

Hearing that her boss had arranged things in an orderly manner, Han Jinhua nodded.

People live far away from their hometowns, whether it is a rolling mill or a courtyard house, they are not as good as the folk customs of their hometown. All day long they just want to eat and do shit.

Seeing that the old lady was silent and got up to cook, Li Shengli turned to his uncle Han Jinhu.

"Student Sun Wuyang, struggle will be the main thing you want to learn. Do you understand what it means?"

Hearing what his nephew said, Han Jinhu turned his head and looked at his sister who walked into the back room and said:
"Is it the whole person?

Although I don't know much about this, I have been treated in Tong County for ten years, and my door is clear! "

Looking at the sad uncle in his words, Li Shengli nodded again. The next ten years will be the ten years of the big man and the ten year of the little man.

Give it a go, maybe the future Sun Wuyang will also have a chance to be in the top position.

"Today, these words must be kept in mind, memorize the anthology, learn to fight, learn to fight."

After finishing speaking, Li Shengli went back to the South Room, and now just give my uncle an outline.

He has no idea how to do things, so he can only take one step at a time and make adjustments at any time.

The uncle left the main room with his front feet, and Li Shengli walked out of the south room with his back feet, and came to the door of the north room.

"Mom, when my father, Jianshe, and Yinghong come back, ask them if anyone has heard about my uncle, and if anyone has.

Didn't say anything, told them that Sun Wuyang was a distant relative, and they were not allowed to mention a word. "

As soon as Li Shengli finished his explanation, Father Li and his younger siblings entered the house one after another.

The old lady Han Jinhua also followed Li Shengli's instructions and asked them one by one. Fortunately, my uncle came here for a short time and he was a man, so no one asked about his details.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. The basic ration of 28 catties for women and 32 catties for men has caused many families to spend more time calculating food.

Father Li, the first uncle, and the second uncle are stronger than the third uncle and Shazhu. They belong to heavy manual laborers, and they have ten catties more food a month.

32 catties of fine grains is not bad, but the 32 catties of the food book, no matter how much fine grains there are, can account for less than half. It is already very good to receive one-third of the fine grains a month.

The rest are coarse grains such as stick noodles, big ballast, sorghum rice, and coarse grains such as millet, don't even think about it.

Although the ration is called a ration, it also fluctuates up and down. When it comes to adjustments, it is not bad to get half of the extra [-] catties of grain for a man like Mr. Li who does not go up or down.

In the lean months, the ration of the whole family will also be reduced. As for the food beyond the ration, don't even think about it.

"Aunt Li, there is a meeting tonight, Xu Damao from our hospital will beat his wife..."

As soon as the affairs of my family came to an end, the boy from the Liu family in the backyard came to spread the word.

Hearing that it was Xu Damao who beat his wife, Li Shengli frowned. The future rich woman's relationship broke down since then, and Xu Damao's grandson was about to tremble.

"Understood, Guangtian is still Guangfu, come in and drink some water..."

"No, Aunt Li, I'm Guangtian, and I have to go to the house of the third grandpa."

"Mom, let my uncle tease those in the backyard, is it okay?"

Seeing that the old lady was approaching, Li Shengli suddenly said such a sentence, which made Han Jinhua's brows immediately stand up.
