Reborn in the 60s and adopted

Tang Mei took great pains to settle Old Mrs. Li down, and then walked slowly towards the home of the barefoot doctor Grandpa Zhang.

She was making a little plan in her mind, and whether this plan would succeed depended on whether she could get the drugs.

"Grandpa, are you home?" Tang Mei called softly from the door.

"Who is it?" an old voice came from the room.

"It's me, Tang Mei."

"Oh, it's Xiaomei. Come in." After getting a response, Tang Mei pushed open the door and walked into the room.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Grandpa Zhang with white hair lying on a bamboo chair, sipping tea and fanning himself leisurely.

"Oh, long time no see, Xiao Mei. Girls really change a lot as they grow up. You become more and more beautiful!" Grandpa Zhang looked at Tang Mei with admiration in his eyes.

"Hehe, thank you grandpa for the compliment! You too, still look so energetic and not old at all!" Tang Mei responded sweetly.

Grandpa Zhang was delighted by Tang Mei's praise and felt as sweet as if he had drunk honey.

"Come on, Xiaomei, go pour yourself a glass of water. Grandpa is a little tired today and is too lazy to get up to make tea for you." Grandpa Zhang said with a smile.

"Okay, Grandpa, just take a rest. No need to bother. Actually, I'm not thirsty. I came here today to ask you some questions."

"Oh? You want to ask me questions? Hey, you are indeed a top student. You have a strong thirst for knowledge!" Grandpa Zhang praised Tang Mei highly.

"Grandpa, you're too kind! I just wanted to ask, do you have any medicine that can repel mosquitoes?" Tang Mei asked curiously.

"There is a pile of mugwort over there, which is great for fumigating mosquitoes! You should also grow mint at home, right? After these two things are dried, grind the mint into powder and wrap it together with the mugwort. Use this to fumigate mosquitoes, the effect is very good!" Old man Zhang said, pointing to the dense mugwort leaves in the yard.

Tang Mei ran happily behind Grandpa Zhang, pinched his shoulders obediently, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, I want something that can not only drive away mosquitoes, but also make people faint."

Hearing Tang Mei's request, Grandpa Zhang's face changed, and he quickly shook off her hand and said angrily: "Little girl, we can't do anything to harm others! I don't have that kind of poison here, so leave quickly."

However, Tang Mei did not give up. She continued to pester: "Grandpa, you must have such medicine. Believe me, I will never use it to hurt others. I am going to work in the commune in the town soon. What if I meet bad guys or even spies? I need something to protect myself." Her eyes were full of determination.

"Really?" Old man Zhang was a little bit unconvinced of this clever girl, but then he thought of her as a pretty girl alone in the town. What if she really encountered danger and had no ability to protect herself?

"Really? It's absolutely true! It's truer than that iron pestle! I'm going back to my hometown alone! My biggest wish is to make my hometown better and better!" Tang Mei said excitedly, raising four fingers high, as if swearing to God.

Old man Zhang looked at Tang Mei, was silent for a while, finally nodded slowly, then slowly stood up from the chair and walked into the house. After a while, he came out with two powders wrapped in brown paper bags.

"There is a packet of medicine powder in here. You can knock others out by lighting it. The other packet is the antidote. If you get knocked out by accident, add some water and drink it. Most of the toxicity will be eliminated." Old Man Zhang explained carefully to Tang Mei.

Tang Mei happily took the two packets of medicine and quickly put them into her pocket.

Seeing Tang Mei so happy, Old Man Zhang was still a little worried, and he gave her a few more instructions: "Tang girl, when you return to your hometown, you must work hard. Use the knowledge and skills you have learned to repay your fellow villagers and serve the motherland wholeheartedly. Don't use the two packets of medicine I gave you to do bad things, okay?"

"Don't worry, Grandpa Zhang! I know! These medicines are very useful to me, but I will never hurt others!" Tang Mei answered seriously, saying that she would definitely listen to Grandpa Zhang.

"Okay, I'll believe you for now. It's good that the little girl knows what's going on. I have a book on medicine in my room. You can take a look at it. I'll lie down for a while. I'm old and I don't feel well." After the old man said this, he lay down again.

"Hey, thank you grandpa. It's already noon. Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet. I have no appetite. I don't want to eat." Old man Zhang felt that his end might be near. He even lost his appetite. He had no children anyway, so he might as well go. He had no regrets after living in this world.

This old man is famous in the village. If a child or the elderly is sick, he will run to help. If he really can't pay, he won't take it. He is a kind old man. Tang Mei looked at Grandpa Zhang, who was obviously much older than in previous years. He was alone and helpless. Now he didn't want to cook and there was no one to help. She was full of heartache. She decided to help Grandpa Zhang cook more often when she was at home.

"How can I not eat? Wait, I'll make something for you and let you taste my cooking skills."

"Haha, okay, then don't make too much. I'm an old man and I can't eat much by myself."

Tang Mei nodded and went to look in the yard. There were cucumbers, peppers, loofahs and bitter gourds, so she made some cold cucumber and loofah egg soup.

Old man Zhang looked at these two simple dishes and his face was full of joy: "I didn't expect that Miss Tang's cooking is so beautiful. It tastes good just by looking at it. I must have a drink today."

After saying that, he stood up tremblingly and wanted to go into the house to find some wine.

"Grandpa, don't drink anymore. Drink more soup. It's hot, and drinking less is good for your health." Tang Mei went over and supported Old Man Zhang.

"You girl, you're controlling grandpa. Okay, okay, let's not drink during this meal." Grandpa Zhang smiled and patted Tang Mei's hand, then sat down at the table and started eating.

Tang Mei saw the old man finish his meal and after washing the dishes, she saw Grandpa Zhang lying on the recliner, soundly asleep. She took a thin piece of clothing and put it on him, went into the house, took the medicine book on the table, and tiptoed out the door.

She had another place in mind that she wanted to go, so she had to take another precaution: the village animal husbandry station.

From a distance, the seven characters of "August 1" Brigade Animal Husbandry Station were particularly eye-catching. As soon as Tang Mei entered the room, she saw Aunt Li knitting a sweater. On the table was half a white glove, and next to it was a ball of wool that had been unwound and rolled up.

"Oh, isn't this the talented girl from our village? What's the matter with you, Aunt Li?" Aunt Li looked up and saw Tang Mei, who was tall and beautiful even in her casual clothes, walking in. She greeted her warmly without stopping.

Tang Mei rolled her eyes and immediately thought of a good reason: "Aunt Li, my dog ​​hasn't been very active recently. I'm going to work in town soon, so I want to get a puppy to keep him company."

"I have one at home. I'll give you one." In recent years, the village has been growing mushrooms and has become richer than the surrounding villages. Many families have started raising dogs, including Aunt Li. She was enthusiastic and offered to give Tang Mei her newborn puppy when she saw that she needed it.

"No, no, Aunt Li. The dog in my house is a retired military dog ​​that my classmate got back through his connections. I just want to keep it as a descendant, so I came to you for help. I can't go to town without a powerful dog to look after me at home!" Tang Mei knew that this reason was a bit far-fetched, and she didn't know whether Aunt Li believed it or not.

Aunt Li thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "You want the medicine for breeding, right?"

"Yes." Tang Mei replied reluctantly.

"Oh, little girl, why do you come to your aunt to ask for this thing? It's so embarrassing! You should ask your father to come. But don't worry, your aunt is very tight-lipped. Otherwise, if it gets out, you'll be laughed at!" Aunt Li muttered to herself, climbed up the cabinet, took down a packet of veterinary medicine called "aphrodisiac" and gave it to Tang Mei.

The moment Tang Mei said she wanted to get the aphrodisiac, Aunt Li secretly sighed in her heart: This educated girl is different! In our village, which girl dares to touch this thing? If others know about it, they will be scolded to death!

But Tang Mei didn't care about other people's opinions. She just smiled at Aunt Li's kind reminder: "Haha, Aunt Li is still good to me, thank you!" For Tang Mei, getting what she needs is the most important thing, no matter what others say.

Aunt Li looked at the beautiful Tang Mei with a forced smile and said, "It's okay, take it back and use it. If it doesn't work, come back to me." While speaking, her eyes were not looking at Tang Mei, but drifting away thoughtfully.

Tang Mei looked at it and said nothing more. She silently took out some money and a handful of Little White Rabbit candies from her pocket and handed them to Aunt Li, saying softly, "Thank you, Auntie. These candies are for your little grandson to sweeten his mouth."

When Aunt Li saw these rare little white rabbit candies, she immediately smiled from ear to ear. Her tense face relaxed instantly, and her eyes were filled with joy. At this moment, her smile was particularly sincere, as if the previous alienation and indifference had disappeared in an instant.

"Thank you, Tang girl, this is a good thing, I will accept it without hesitation. Next time you come to my house, I will make you something delicious."

"Don't be like this, Auntie. It's just a handful of candy. You don't need to treat me to a meal. Don't be so formal. I'll go back first."

"Okay, walk slower."

Aunt Li didn't even knit the sweater anymore, she just threw it on the stool beside her and happily sent Tang Mei to the door. Tang Mei walked a long way, and when she turned around, she could still see Aunt Li waving at her.
