Chapter 180: Going to the Banquet
Tomorrow will be the day when the medical team will return home.
Dijie and Shanruo have completed the handover work at hand, packed their luggage, and are only waiting for the bus of the medical team to come to pick them up tomorrow morning.
After forcibly pouring medicine to Hua Niu that day and being bumped into by Shanruo, although he relied on quibbles to get through at that time, but afterwards Pai Hongqiao has been a thief, for fear that the bottle with herbal residues brought back by Shanruo will detect the ingredients in it, so as to lead to the revelation of the matter.
So, when he learned that Shanruo and Dijie were going to leave Yimeng early tomorrow morning, Pai Hongqiao asked his son Pai Xingyan and asked him to practice for the two of them in the name of the village chief on behalf of all the villagers of Pai Shanwang Village, in order to talk about their life-saving grace to the villagers during this time.
His purpose is clear: as the father of the village chief, he should be present at the banquet when Dijie and Shanruo go to the banquet.
Then, he could use this opportunity to probe Yamaruo's mouth.
If you find that something is wrong with her, make a coping strategy as soon as possible, whether it is soft or tough, coercion or inducement.
In short, just shut her up as soon as possible and nip the disaster in the bud.
He knew very well that if Shan Ruo really understood his secret, now in Paishan King, on the one-third of an acre of land in him and his son, she would definitely be temporarily forbearance about her own power, but tomorrow the medical team withdrew, as soon as she left her sphere of influence, she would definitely make a big deal immediately.
City people love to find the media and reporters, and if Shanruo exposes the matter at that time, his father and son will become famous all over the country......
Therefore, Pai Hongqiao must confirm how much of her secret she has before Shan Ruo leaves Pai Shan King.
As for Dad's suggestion, Pai Xingyan readily agreed.
Anyway, it was reimbursed with public funds, and he didn't need to spend a penny of his own money, so he didn't have the heart to figure out why his father was so thoughtful this time.
Of course, Pai Xingyan also has its own purpose-
The most difficult thing in the world to control is people's mouth.
He is usually arrogant and domineering in the village, and the villagers dare not speak out, especially the 120,000 yuan of disaster relief funds allocated by his superiors this time, he only used 20,000 yuan to buy some fake medicine to fool the villagers, and the remaining 100,000 yuan were all put into his pocket.
Although I am confident that no one in the village dares to provoke me, and no one dares to jump out and openly question, it is inevitable to talk about suspicion behind my back.
And this time, Dijie and Shanruo have been working in Paishan King for so long, and there are too many opportunities to be alone with the villagers, and it is very likely that these villagers will complain to them in private.
Therefore, this public money appreciation banquet is actually a delight to buy people's hearts by Pai Xingyan.
Not only did he have to feast on Dijie and Shanruo, but he also prepared a lot of souvenirs to give them as gifts.
Hush money.
In short, this banquet for Dijie and Shanruo, Pai Hongqiao father and son hit it off.
Under the repeated enthusiastic invitation of Pai Xingyan, Dijie and Shanruo were embarrassed to refuse, so they had to agree to the banquet.
Dijie and Shanruo have made great contributions to the containment of the epidemic this time, and even unceremoniously said that they have saved lives for more than half of the families in this village, so when Pai Xingyan proposed to ask the villagers to raise funds and hold a thank-you banquet for the two doctors, the simple and enthusiastic villagers were quite enthusiastic and did not hesitate to pay for it.
For a time, the village chief's family was full of excitement, some brought their own chickens, some carried eggs, some brought vegetables from the greenhouse, some went to the town to buy spices, the most famous chef in the village personally came to cook, and the courtyard of the village chief's house was filled with aroma and laughter.
The honest and sturdy Shandong man, every face that has been exposed to the wind and sun is full of sincere smiles, as if entertaining a particularly important leader.
Listening to the hearty laughter of the villagers next door and feeling their enthusiasm and simplicity, Dijie and Shanruo were full of emotion.
This is the folk customs that the countryside should have, this is the Chinese peasantry!
Scum like Pai Hongqiao Pai Xingyan Pai Banxian is only a few after all.
It is such a small number of bad people, like a cancerous germ, who have ruined the image of the countryside and tarnished the dignity of the peasants!
So, they must pay for what they have done!
While waiting for the banquet, Shan Ruo also prepared for her first life change mission.
Now, Di Jie has not officially introduced his beloved disciple to Black and White Impermanence and others, he hopes to use such a life change mission to let Shanruo complete his transformation, and let her submit a petition for officially joining the life change game...
At seven o'clock, a large table of fine food and wine was ready.
Dijie and Shanruo were invited to sit down, Pai Hongqiao father and son accompanied, Pai Banxian was also invited to be a deputy accompaniment on the grounds that he was also a family of traditional Chinese medicine and sympathized with Dijie.
The other villagers knew that Dijie and the others were going to leave tomorrow morning, so they reluctantly came to say goodbye, and then gradually dispersed.
These lovely villagers, who did their best to organize a sumptuous dinner, did not taste a bite.
Finally, this thank-you banquet with each heart officially began.
The village chief of Pai Xingyan is naturally as enthusiastic as ever, and full of officialdom as always.
As soon as he entered the table, he gave all kinds of thanks, all kinds of gratitude, all kinds of brothers, a picture of his own pride and ambition to die for the villagers, and a great image of loyalty without regrets, not afraid of rumors and sticking to justice.
Of course, by the way, I would like to praise the personality and medical skills of the two doctors.
What kind of benevolent hand, Hua Tuo's reincarnation and the like, it is like preparing a draft in advance, boasting and talking.
Shan Ruo couldn't help but wonder, how did a cultural Cheng dΓΉ like Pai Xingyan practice such eloquence?
It's incredible......
As the veteran of the Grim Reaper team, Di Jie is naturally familiar with this kind of scene and is calm.
In contrast, the mountain that is not deeply involved in the world feels much awkward.
However, Di Jie gave her a preventive injection in advance, saying that life is like a play, and sometimes you have to rely on acting skills, so although she was extremely disgusted by the high-sounding words of Pai Xingyan in her heart, she still greeted her with a smile on the surface. Albeit......
Although her smile seemed so blunt to Dijie.
However, it is okay to fool ordinary people, at least, it will not let the Pai Hongqiao father and son see her true feelings.
Pai Village Chief's words of thanks finally came to an end, and after a polite toast in return, Pai Hongqiao kept giving Pai Banxian a look, meaning that he should quickly probe the wind and try how much they know about the abortion pill.
Pai Banxian comprehended, first praised Dijie's superb medical skills, and Shanruo's young beauty, and then pretended to suddenly think of it and asked: "By the way, Comrade Xiaoshan, you took the herbs I configured for testing that night, I don't know if there is a result?" β
"Yes, Comrade Xiaoshan, the two of us are afraid that the medicine will not work, so we have never dared to use it for Hua Niu, just waiting for your appraisal results!" Pai Hongqiao also hurriedly echoed on the side.
"Oh, I was just about to tell you two elders, the medicine...... Don't give it to the flower girl! Shan Ruo lifted his glasses and said, "My master and I have repeatedly identified the liquid medicine, and the results are ......."
"How did it turn out? Do you think it doesn't work? Or is something missing? The card half-immortal pretended to be confused and asked.
"We think that's ...... That's ......" Yamaruka's face flushed and became slurred.
"We think it's an abortion pill." Dijie spoke it up for her.
The half-immortal looked incredulous: "Huh? Fall...... Fetal pills?! How is this possible? This is what my family's medical skills say, it's authoritarian cerebral palsy......"
Shan Ruo shook his head: "There are four of your medicines that can be easily identified, and none of them are related to the treatment of cerebral palsy." β
"This ...... Is that possible...... I'll go home and bring the books, and you all have to look at them. As he spoke, he pretended to be angry and got up.
Pai Hongqiao hurriedly made steps for him on the side: "I'll just say that your family's medical skills are unreliable, right?" You old thing......"
"But I really dispensed medicine according to what was written in the medical book, and it was clearly written that it was a cure for cerebral palsy......" Pai Banxian continued to act.
"There are many medical techniques that are unreliable, especially some pirated ones, where there are mistakes, or the etiology and pathology are written incorrectly, it is possible." Di Jie said unhurriedly, and also secretly paved the steps for the card half immortal.
"Well, besides, you two are so old, maybe you are wrong, right?" Pai Xingyan laughed loudly, "Good intentions do bad things, haven't you two always been like this?" You said that Hua Niu is not pregnant, why do you two give people abortion pills? β
As he spoke, he picked up his wine glass and smiled at Di Jie and Shan Ruo: "Laughing, my father is like this, he is enthusiastic and wants to help people, but he always doesn't know the essentials...... By the way, shouldn't that medicine be in any danger to Hua Niu's body? β
"There are no side effects for normal people, that is, a pair of abortion pills, as long as the flower girl is not pregnant, she will not feel anything after eating it." Dijie said with certainty.
"That's good...... How old is a child with a flower girl, how can she get pregnant. Pai Xingyan said with relief.
"Eun, how could a flower girl get pregnant?" Pai Hongqiao sneered, and then pointed to Pai Banxian's nose and scolded: "Old thing, this makes you miserable, you said that we poured abortion pills on a teenage girl, what a joke this is......"
"It's all my fault...... Either I made a mistake in writing, or I read it wrong...... Alas, I'm so old that I can't do any......" Plaque Banxian sighed as he got off the slope.
After a few more drinks, Pai Banxian got up and left first, acting, he had to act like a little, he had to show the anger and self-blame after he did bad things with good intentions, and he couldn't continue to talk and laugh with everyone.
So, with the departure of the card half-immortal, the matter ended in a self-defeating joke, and several people continued to drink and eat until ten o'clock in the evening, when Dijie and Shanruo were full of wine and food, and after expressing their gratitude to the villagers for their hospitality, they got up and took their leave.
"I have something to do tomorrow, so I don't necessarily have time to get you in the car." Pai Xingyan said to the two, "I have prepared some of our specialties here, there are no good things, I hope to accept them, and I will send them to you later." β
"It's already a violation of the rules to eat this meal this time, we really don't dare to ask for a gift, we ......have received your wishes," Dijie politely said. But Pai Xingyan's attitude was not to refuse, let them go back first, and he would arrive later.
Di Jie and Shan Ruo glanced at each other as if they were in a good heart, and they were very happy in their hearts at the moment.
It seems that this is destined to be the easiest and most comfortable life-changing mission.
