The door was closed. Li Xiangnan sat at the table, drinking tea and sorting out his current assets.

It is not actually accurate to say that he had assets, because at the moment he only had 65 yuan and some food coupons on him, after a careful count.

He has not spent a cent of the 50 yuan Lin Weimin gave him. He used the ten yuan and fifteen yuan that his father Li Fugui gave him before the college entrance examination and before he left. He spent some of it during the college entrance examination and some of it on shopping, eating and living in Yanjing.

As for the food coupons, including the food coupons sent by Lin Weimin and Lin Chuqiao's share, each person has a monthly ration of 20 kilograms. Together with him, it is 52 kilograms, which is enough to survive until the 15th of next month when the salary is paid.

For one person, it is enough, even more than enough.

Add to that the oil coupons, coal coupons and some non-staple food coupons, although the amount is not much, it is more than enough for one person to live on for a whole month.

However, if you are alone and want to treat others to a meal, you have to pay more food coupons, and you have to do the calculation separately. Every time you treat others, you have to recalculate the cost of living and you have to budget carefully. If you do it too many times, you will have to tighten your belt when you go to the grain station to buy food next month.

It is July 7rd now, and there is still half a month before the salary is paid at the beginning of next month. If I tighten my belt with 23 yuan, I may be able to have some money after attending social events.

Although life is tight, there is a trend of improvement.

"Ok?"

Just as he was calculating how to slack off until next month's salary was paid, Li Xiangnan smelled a faint scent of mugwort coming in through the crack in the door. His ears moved and he heard a slight rustling sound coming from outside the door.

When he opened the door, he saw a hunched figure holding a dozen smoky wormwoods and fumigating them around the wall. His heart warmed, and he quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Uncle Qin, hey, why are you here to fumigate mosquitoes for me? It's really hard for you!"

"Xiao Li!" Uncle Qin straightened up, grinned, smeared the wormwood in front of his window, and said with a smile: "We are both wanderers in this world. There are too many mosquitoes in my house in summer. There are still some wormwood leaves left. I thought of coming over to help you get rid of them! It would be a waste if you don't use them!"

"Let me do it!" Li Xiangnan took out a cigarette from his pocket and passed it over. He took the mugwort and tried to smoke it around the door and windows of the house, imitating the method. The fragrance and special taste of the mugwort filled his nose.

Uncle Qin lit up a cigarette and instructed as he smoked, "Go inside and fumigate the area around the bed so you can sleep better tonight! Then close the door and wait for a while, all the mosquitoes inside will be dead! I'll chat with you at the door for a while!"

"Okay!" Li Xiangnan was touched by his concern. He followed the instructions, closed the door, brought out a cup of tea and handed it to Uncle Qin, "Have a cup of tea! Thank you!"

He went into the house again and got out two benches, and he and Lao Qin sat on one each.

"Why are you being so polite to me?"

Uncle Qin was smoking a cigarette. He took out the palm-leaf fan from his waist and fanned Li Xiangnan. He turned his head and pointed at the factory hospital, which was still lit, and said, "Isn't Lao Zhou gone yet?"

Li Xiangnan then realized that there were indeed a few lights on in the factory hospital. He guessed that Lao Zhou's office was one of them. He nodded and said with a little surprise: "It's not easy for Lao Zhou either. He can endure more than us young people! At his age, most people would definitely go home to be with their wives and children!"

"You don't know the reason?"

Li Xiangnan was just joking at first, but suddenly he heard Uncle Qin's surprise. He was stunned and turned around to ask in confusion: "Reason? Doctor Zhou is working overtime... Is there another reason?"

Uncle Qin didn't answer, but smiled and patted Li Xiangnan on the shoulder, saying meaningfully: "Little Li, Old Zhou is good, but I, Old Qin, hope that one day, your hospital will not have lights on at night, and there will not be any crowded scenes. For ordinary people, the place we hate and fear the most is the hospital!"

I wish that everyone in the world is healthy, so why not let the medicine on the shelf gather dust!

Lao Qin, I thought so too!

Looking at Lao Qin's departing back, Li Xiangnan suddenly felt a little curious. He put out his cigarette, stood up and walked towards the factory hospital.

But halfway through the journey, he looked up and found that the lights on the building were off. Soon, the jingling sounds of bicycles hitting the road began to sound. Looking down, he saw that Zhou Feng was not riding the bike, but was quietly pushing it with a flashlight, gradually moving away.

Looking at his slightly heavy and tired figure, Li Xiangnan frowned, then turned his head to look at the internal medicine floor, and his doubts grew deeper and deeper.

Tomorrow, he would have to find an opportunity to ask Ding Yuqiu about the internal medicine department and Zhou Feng, and maybe even go to the internal medicine department himself to take a look.

Having made up his mind, he turned around and went back to the cabin. When he opened the door, a strong scent of mugwort wafted into his nose, and there were indeed a lot of dead mosquitoes on the ground.

"It's quite effective!" Li Xiangnan smiled slightly and decided to ask Uncle Qin tomorrow for advice on where he could cut some mugwort so as to get through this unbearable summer with many mosquitoes.

After he finished his herbal tea and saw that the clock had pointed to nine o'clock, he began to get some water to wash up and prepare for bed.

at the same time.

In the family compound, Lin Muyu knocked on the door of his sister Lin Chuqiao's room and saw his younger sister Lin Youwei chattering excitedly about something with Xiaoqiao.

"What time is it, Youwei, aren't you going to sleep?"

"Third sister, I was discussing this question with fourth sister. My classmates and I borrowed their restored college entrance examination questions and we were estimating the scores just now! Do you want to listen?" Lin Youwei was in high spirits and was not willing to leave easily.

"You guys are really efficient! Then tell me, what is the estimated score?" Lin Muyu was also curious about what kind of results Lin Chuqiao could achieve after going to the countryside to review.

"Third sister! Haha! I will definitely be able to get into Yanjing University this time! Coconut silk!" Lin Youwei jumped up on the bed and shouted.

"Shh, you're asking for death. If you make too much noise, Dad will have to beat you up!" Although Lin Muyu was also happy, he quickly covered her mouth to prevent her from being too presumptuous. However, he still asked in surprise, "Really? You did so well in the exam this time?"

"Yes, third sister, I want to apply to Yanda Medical School! My grades are definitely good enough for admission!" Lin Youwei said confidently.

"Yanshan University Medical School? Your grades are not bad! This is the leading university in the field of medicine in China!" Lin Muyu was surprised, but found that Lin Chuqiao was not in a good mood, so he quickly took care of his sister's mood, "What about you, Xiaoqiao?"

Shaking her head, Lin Chuqiao said with a little regret: "It's not very good this time, but the Union Medical College should be almost the same! My grades at Yanda Medical College are a little bit lower!"

"Really? Although I can't go to Yanjing University, Union Medical College is also good! Oh, our family is going to have a whole family of college students!" Lin Muyu was also very excited.

Lin Chuqiao exhaled slightly. She really hoped to be admitted to Yan University and fulfill her academic dream, but there was still a gap in her ability.

Looking at my younger sister's excitement, I felt both envy and deep regret.

Just as she was in a daze, Lin Muyu pushed Lin Youwei and drove her to the door, "Go to bed quickly, your sister Xiao Qiao has to go to work tomorrow, don't disturb her too late..."

"Then what are you doing? Let's go together!" Lin Youwei said angrily.

"I have something to tell your fourth sister, and it's not something you, a little kid, can listen to! You're still young!" Lin Muyu waved his hand.

Lin Youwei stamped her feet angrily, straightened her not-so-straight chest, put her hands on her waist and said, "Lin Muyu, don't look down on me. I'm already nineteen, okay? I'm grown up!"

"You're still young!" Lin Muyu glanced at her sideways, then straightened his chest.

"..."

Without daring to say a word, Lin Youwei quickly fled.

Behind him, Lin Chuqiao was stunned, and silently clamped her chest with her arms.

"Xiao Qiao, just now in the kitchen, I heard mom asked my second sister-in-law to prepare a few blind dates for you. What do you think?" Lin Muyu said in a low voice after closing the door.
