Hello 1983

"Secretary Guan, it's unprecedented that foreign guests are willing to use our country's medicines. We need to publicize it well."

People at this time had a strong sense of national pride, even a little too strong, so there were many things that people later found incomprehensible or even ridiculous.

Of course, Secretary Guan is fine with this. It happens that people are in panic right now. It is also good to use newspapers or TV to publicize it to appease the people.

Banlangen, the panacea medicine, was born at this time, and it played a very good role in stabilizing people's hearts.

And just like that, a massive operation revolves around flu and flu busters.

The leader of the Health Bureau took people to the consulate to deliver doctors and medicines, and wrote the main theme of friendship between China and foreign countries. There were also several reporters from TV stations and daily newspapers accompanying him.

Quick-acting cold tablets, along with radio and television, quickly became familiar to the general public in Shanghai, so they rushed to buy them.

That guy is worse than grabbing non-staple food.

It's a pity that the two bags of goods brought by Lu Xiaolong are nothing but a drop in the bucket.

After the curative effect was confirmed, the Health Bureau also showed its due strength and directly arranged for the plane to be transported by air. After all, the disease waits for no one.

Hundreds of thousands of boxes of quick-acting cold tablets were sold out in less than a week.

The big flu that ravaged Hujiang was easily repelled by such a small pill.

For a while, the quick-acting cold tablets became famous, and the phone to order rang from morning to night in Jiapigou Pharmaceutical Factory.

In addition, several other drugs independently developed by pharmaceutical factories have also been ordered.

And the pennant presented by the U.S. Consulate through the Hujiang government was hung in the showroom of the pharmaceutical factory and became a witness of the friendship between the two countries.

But in fact, the significance of this pennant is even greater, because it forcibly opened a gap in the misunderstanding and barriers of foreigners about traditional Chinese medicine.

As for the origin of this pennant, of course Liu Qingshan would not say that he persuaded Wilson to give it to him.

In fact, this is indeed the consulate wanting to express its gratitude. It originally wanted to donate a sum of research and development funds to the pharmaceutical factory, the amount is [-] US dollars.

Foreigners like to do this, but Liu Qingshan really looks down on this little money, so he discussed it with them:

Since it is in Huaxia, then follow the local rules and send a pennant.

In the end, the foreigner was really tricked into ordering a pennant, and it was not just one, the consulates of several countries gave it away.

At present, the consulates of many countries are staring at the American consulate. Of course, the younger brother must follow the elder brother.

Seeing that the US consulate actually ordered medicines, and they were really effective, they all followed suit.

Sending the pennant is really not a booing, it is indeed a heartfelt thank you.

Perhaps in China at that time, a cold or something was just a minor ailment, and if there was really no medicine, it would pass pretty easily.

But for Europeans and Americans, influenza is not a minor illness. Taking the United States as an example, in the 80s, an average of more than 4 people died of influenza each year.

This number is indeed scary.

Looking at the world, there are 30 to 50 people. Who would dare to say that influenza is a minor problem?

Since this kind of cold medicine produced in China is so effective, some of the more conscientious foreigners even bought more than ten boxes of quick-acting cold tablets to take back when they return to China. There are frequent outbreaks of influenza in foreign countries. This is called being prepared.

In this way, Liu Qingshan has quietly sowed the seeds.

He firmly believes that as long as there are seeds, sooner or later they will take root and sprout.

And the most talked about by the common people is Jiapigou Pharmaceutical Company: I have never heard of such a pharmaceutical factory before?

Soon there were newspapers to help the public to solve their doubts: it turned out that the Jiapigou pharmaceutical factory was established in Jiapigou, a famous 10 yuan village.

People finally linked these two Jiapigou together: No wonder it can become a 10 yuan village, even a pharmaceutical factory.

Conversely, think about it again: the medicine produced in the 10-yuan village is of course a good medicine!

The thing is so miraculous, the advertisement prepared by Liu Qingshan for the pharmaceutical factory, before it was broadcast on TV, the pharmaceutical factory has already become famous, and the effect is stronger than the advertisement.

It made He Min call Liu Qingshan and ask: Is the commercial still on?

In fact, it doesn’t cost much to make an advertisement, mainly because the cost of broadcasting advertisements on TV stations is relatively high, and this year has increased a lot compared to last year. The prime time has already reached nearly a million.

Now that it's filmed, let's broadcast it, but you don't have to grab a good time slot, it's just a normal one, and it's cheaper.

Just strike while the iron is hot, and with another wave of publicity, Jiapigou Pharmaceutical will be stable.

All these disturbances didn't affect Liu Qingshan too much, at most he was the last to make up his mind.

That morning, after seeing off Wilson and Tom, Liu Qingshan led his two younger sisters and set off with his mother to search for the alley where his mother used to live.

The location is also in Xujiahui, so I didn't take a car. The family of four walked slowly, mainly Lin Zhi, looking for memories and shadows of the past while walking.

At this time in Hujiang, housing was too tight, so the alleys were extremely crowded and narrow.

Going to the Bund yesterday, Liu Qingshan even saw a very magical scene: the wall of lovers.

In fact, it is a river embankment, several miles long, and in the evening, there are thousands of couples or even tens of thousands of couples by the wall.

There is a gap of a few centimeters between them.

I don't know if the people on both sides can hear me when I whisper?

The reason for this strange scene was that housing was tight at that time, and the house was only a dozen square meters, with several pairs of eyes staring at it. How could there be room for you to fall in love?

In the evening, the parks are also closed, so we can't always roll the roads and telephone poles.

It just so happens that the environment and scenery on the river embankment are not bad. It is quite romantic to lean against the lover's wall, enjoy the river view and fall in love at the same time.

Only later, this section of the embankment was rebuilt, and the lover's wall ceased to exist.

So in order to keep some memories, Liu Qingshan also quietly took a few photos, all of which are distant views, which really look spectacular.

……

Walking in the alley, there is still a strange smell, which makes the fourth and fifth wrinkle their little noses.

Soon, Liu Qingshan found a urinal, no wonder it smells so strong this summer.

And not only that, there are big wooden barrels outside the doors of every house. When you get up at night, you will excrete all of it here, and then pour it into the public toilet when you get up in the morning. It's no wonder you think it smells good.

Looking up, the wires on it are like spider webs, and there are clothes to be dried in various houses, fluttering in the wind, just like the national flags of the year.

Today happened to be Sunday, and at the entrance of the alley, you could see children playing together. It was a hot day, and the little boy was still shirtless, rolling a hoop and passing by.

The little girl also danced the rubber band and the grid, and when she saw Liu Qingshan and the others, she looked up at her little head.

Liu Qingshan also heard them whispering: "They must be from Hong Kong Island, so foreign."

"Could it be that he came back to look for relatives? If only my family had such relatives!"

These years, unlike the past few years, if the family had overseas ties before, they would have to wait to be criticized.

Now if there are overseas relatives, if they come back, the family will shake up.

Lin Zhi also heard the discussion of the children, so she stopped, leaned over and said in a slow voice in the local dialect:

"We are not from Hong Kong Island. I used to live here too. This time I came back to visit relatives."

Liu Qingshan saw that the corners of his mother's eyes were slightly moist.

Maybe it's from these little girls that I saw the shadow of myself in the past, maybe it's in this place, decades ago, my mother also danced rubber bands with her little friends...

Beside a big tree, Lin Zhi stopped, she gently stroked the mottled trunk with her hands, tears finally fell down.

Liu Qingshan looked up, and there was a long alley in front of him, showing a bit of simplicity, on the old wall, there were a few dilapidated big characters "Kangleli", all in traditional characters.

Is it here?

Liu Qingshan took the fourth child and the fifth child one by one in each hand, not asking them to disturb his mother's memory.

Lin Zhi took out her handkerchief, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then a smile appeared on her face.

She seemed to have made up her mind, took a step, and walked towards the Kangleli.

When Liu Qingshan saw it, he quickly followed.

Maybe because it was a rest day, the alley was extremely crowded, and there was a row of washing machines, all of which were rumbling and doing laundry.

After all, it is a metropolis, and there are really not so many washing machines in other places.

Seeing Liu Qingshan and his party, the girls, daughters-in-law, aunts and aunts who were doing laundry all cast curious glances.

Of course, there are also a small number of little men among them, Hujiang men, who are still very family-friendly.

This Gu family can also be understood from another angle, that is, he is more afraid of his wife.

But Lin Zhi's footsteps were getting faster and faster, passing through a washing machine, and then, her footsteps stopped suddenly, and her body trembled suddenly.

In front of you, there is an old wooden cart, creaking and shaking.

The wooden cart should be self-made, with four simple small wheels on the bottom and a bucket on the top.

An old man with gray beard and hair sat in the bucket, shaking the handlebar with both hands, driving the chain and creaking forward.

The old man was wearing a shabby white vest on his upper body, and a pair of big pants modified with trousers on his lower body, exposing his shriveled legs.

His face is full of wrinkles, like a carving knife of the years, carving out annual rings.

His eyes are blank and lifeless, and his hands are shaking mechanically, as if shaking the wheel of time, slowly heading towards the end of life.

Lin Zhi finally couldn't bear it anymore, ran a few steps, rushed to the front of the small wooden cart, bent down, and was level with the old man in the cart.

Tears rolled down her eyes, her lips moved for a while, and then she spoke:

"Father, I'm Nannan, and Nannan is back to see you!"

Chapter 516 The Children of the Poor Are Headed Home Early

The old man raised his absent-minded eyes, his gaze was dull, he just stared at Lin Zhi in a daze.

Suddenly, his eyes shone with surprise, and his wrinkled cheeks also trembled with excitement.

A trembling voice came out of his mouth: "Xiao... Xiaozhi, you are Azhi!"

"it's me!"

Lin Zhi embraced the old man with both hands, and burst into tears, as if the tears she had accumulated for more than 20 years poured out at this moment.

"Azhi!"

The old man was also full of tears, and with a pair of big hands, he patted Lin Zhi's back vigorously.

"Mom found Dad!"

The fourth child also wiped her eyes with the back of her small hand. This was the first time she saw her mother cry like this.

Shan Xing also wiped the corners of her eyes, and then comforted the fourth child: "Caifeng, this is a happy thing."

Liu Qingshan's eyes were also red, he only now knew how much his mother missed his relatives.

This trip to look for relatives seems to be the right time, otherwise, it would be too unfair to my mother to hold this kind of pain in my heart.

The mother passed away early in the previous life. Firstly, the family was in a difficult situation. She worked hard for her children and exhausted her body.

On the other hand, it was also because she had been depressed and unhappy after her father passed away.

After being dazed, the neighbors all started talking in low voices:

"Old Lin's daughter, it seems that after she left, she never came back. How many years has it been?"

"Old Lin will enjoy a happy life now. His daughter looks like a rich family."

At this moment, a girl ran out of a gate in a hurry, with a small apron tied around her waist, she seemed to be nearly 1.7 meters tall, and shouted loudly:

"Master, what's the matter with you? Who are you? What's wrong with my grandfather? Don't think our family is easy to bully!"

She frowned, picked up a broken bamboo pole for drying clothes from the corner of the wall, held it in her hand, and glared at Lin Zhi and Liu Qingshan.

Lin Zhi stood up, looked at the girl and smiled, tears were still shining in her eyes.

Since this girl calls her father Grandpa, she must be a child of her brother's family, her own junior.

The little girl looked to be about 20 years old, with long hair hanging loose, and she was looking at her fiercely. In Lin Zhi's eyes, she looked a little cute.

After all, he knows how to protect his grandfather and is a good boy.

"Ah Qing, come here quickly, this is your little aunt, you are still screaming and killing." Lin Wanxiang waved his hand and yelled.

With a bang, the bamboo pole in the girl's hand fell to the ground, she blinked her big eyes, and stared at Lin Zhi vigorously, her eyes were full of disbelief.

Although she had never met her before, she had seen photos of her sister-in-law in her grandfather's collection, and she was indeed somewhat similar.

She flicked the loose long hair on her head, cheered "little aunt", and then rushed towards Lin Zhi.
