Chapter 73 Sending anti-tuberculosis drugs
It was not too hot in Sijiucheng in the morning. Lin Sanqi took her two well-fed nephews and nieces and headed east along Zhang Zizhong Road to the shipping warehouse.
As soon as the three of them entered Beimencang Hutong, they saw Pan Ye walking from the opposite side carrying an enamel spittoon.
This seems to be the most common thing for people in the alleys of Sijiucheng in the morning. Since there is no flush toilet at home, they have to go to the public toilet with a spittoon and urinal to empty it out early every morning.
Don’t dislike the smell of shit, piss, butt, this is good stuff. This is a suburb, right? Farmers who go to the city to collect manure need a "ticket".
Yes, you read that right, "dung coupons" cost a few cents each and must be handed over to the neighborhood committee. The neighborhood committee will allow farmers to transport the money back to the village to be used as fertilizer, otherwise it will not be given to you.
Many farmers from villages even come in to grab dung.
Others regard her as a treasure, but Lin Sanqi is very uncomfortable with modern society.
Can you think of Mao Xiaotong holding a urinal? Isn't this destroying the image of the goddess in the mind? Do you want to let go of the idol baggage?
The photo of Wang Tianhou holding a basin of feces at the entrance of the alley can still be found online decades later, which shows the great influence.
Just when Lin Sanqi was thinking about whether to avoid it, Pan Ye spotted him first, with a bit of joy in his voice:
"Lin Sanqi? Did you come here so early?"
Just as he was about to take a few steps, Pan Ye realized what he was holding, so he quickly put it down on the side of the road, blushing so much that he wanted to find a crack to get in.
The little girl is not an old woman after all, she is quite thin-skinned.
Lin Sanqi thought to herself: I dare to take off my pants and urinate in the street in front of you. I am not taking any chances.
Don't ask Lin Sanqi how he knew this, because he has seen many such situations in the black market...
"Yezi, you got up so early even during the summer vacation, haha."
Pan Ye calmed down and then noticed that there were two children next to Lin Sanqi, a boy and a girl. They looked interesting:
"Ah, Lin Sanqi, these two children are not yours, right?"
Having two children at the age of 23 is very common in this era. Pan Ye can be considered a half-truth and half-false test.
"Hey, where did I get my child? I don't even have a partner. These are the children of my eldest and second brother, Gengzi and Zhenzhen. They are called aunties!"
Lin Sanqi's answer was perfect. She not only told Pan Ye that she had no children, but also emphasized that she didn't even have a girlfriend, which perfectly explained her marital status.
Sure enough, Pan Ye was very satisfied with this answer, and then he knelt down and pinched the faces of the two children with a smile.
Lin Zhenzhen looked at Pan Ye and praised her very intelligently: "Wow, sister, you are so beautiful."
Lin Jiageng also nodded quickly: "It looks good!"
The words of the two children made Pan Ye giggle. It was like the sun was shining brightly all over his body, which made Lin Sanqi drool.
"Lin Sanqi...Lin Sanqi?"
"Oh, that's it. Didn't I get anti-tuberculosis medicine? I'm sending medicine to Uncle Pan."
Pan Ye was surprised and happy when he heard this: "Ah, you got the medicine in one night? How precious and expensive it is. I, I can't afford so much money..."
Lin Sanqi originally wanted to joke and say: If you can't get it out, just taste the meat, but when he thought about it being 1959, he decided not to commit suicide.
"How much money do you need? We are good friends who share the same pain. Friends should help each other. Let's go to your house and I will tell Uncle Pan how to take the medicine."
Pan Ye's house.
There are bottles of medicine on the table.
In order to keep it secret, Lin Sanqi deliberately removed all the packaging of the tuberculosis medicines, put them into glass bottles, and labeled them. Lin Sanqi explained how to use it to Pan Zhengquan, who was wearing reading glasses:
"Uncle Pan, these medicines are all imported from the United States. To avoid unnecessary trouble, I won't tell you the names of the medicines. You only need to remember the four medicines A, B, C, and D. Just follow what I wrote.
Anti-tuberculosis treatment must be given together with quadruple drugs, and treatment usually takes six months, including an intensive period of two months and a consolidation period of four months. If nothing else happens, your tuberculosis should be cured in half a year. ”
Pan Zhengquan's hands were trembling. There was hope of living. Who wanted to die?
"Okay, okay, Comrade Lin, thank you so much. I really don't know how I can repay you..."
Lin Sanqi glanced at Pan Ye and thought: At this time, you shouldn't take the initiative to say that the young master's great kindness cannot be repaid, but the little girl is willing to pledge herself to him.
But never say that the little girl will be a cow or a horse in the next life to repay the kindness of the young master.
No one in the room knew that Lin Sanqi was crazily adding drama to her, but they also didn't know what Pan Ye was thinking while sitting aside.
In fact, Pan Ye also made up her mind at this time. If Lin Sanqi really cured her father's tuberculosis, she would be willing to marry the little man in front of her to repay him.
I have to say that even though she is a female college student, her thoughts are still a bit traditional in her heart.
Repaying a favor and joining the army for one's father has been a fine tradition of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. Of course, this traditional belief was destroyed in just a few decades.
Pan's mother walked out of the room excitedly at this time:
"Comrade Lin, please stay for lunch. You have helped my family so much. I really don't know how to thank you."
Lin Sanqi stood up quickly:
"Aunt Pan, don't be polite. I have something to do at home at noon, so I won't eat. So, Uncle Pan, Yezi, I'm going home first. If you need anything, call me. Oh no, if you need anything, go to No. 38 Dachidian Hutong. Just look for me.”
Lin Sanqi didn't dare to agree. He and his two children had only three mouths to talk to. If they really wanted to stay and eat, the Pan family would not have enough food to support everyone.
So these days when I go to visit relatives and friends, I always go after dinner, otherwise it would be embarrassing to stay.
Pan's family members quickly stood up to see each other off. Pan's mother pushed her daughter and said:
"Hurry up and get to the main road at the entrance of the alley, do you hear me?"
Pan Ye blushed again. How could she not understand that her mother looked like she wanted to give her daughter away.
If you are not a close relative or partner, how can you send a visitor to the alley entrance? Generally speaking, it is considered polite for guests to arrive at the entrance of the hospital.
The two adults and two children were walking in the alley in such a shy and ambiguous atmosphere.
Lin Sanqi suddenly asked: "By the way, are you busy tomorrow?"
"I'll have nothing to do tomorrow. I'm on summer vacation, but I have to go to the countryside to do propaganda work for farmers in a few days."
"How about we go to Fengzeyuan for lunch together tomorrow?"
Pan Ye thought to himself, is this a first date? So he lowered his head and replied softly: "Yes!"
Lin Sanqi was very excited when she saw the girl agreed. This feeling was the same as asking a female celebrity to go out for dinner.
"Then I'll wait for you at the entrance of this alley at 10 o'clock tomorrow."
"Okay!"
