Chapter 64: Magnolia Flowers
Wang Guangwen followed the map and arrived at Shiqiao on the third day after returning to Chahe. After studying in Jiangyun's big world for a year, this small town with just one street was not very attractive to him. He came to Stone Bridge solely because of his mission as a messenger.
Without Lao Zhu, Yang Zegui's craftsmanship can only be suspended. However, in order to maintain the family, he tied a lot of brooms with sorghum ears. Because the autumn harvest is approaching, the "business" of brooms is as prosperous, and before noon, Shufen sold out more than a dozen handfuls.
The health center needed to be renovated, and the doctors moved to a makeshift hospital in the courtyard of the township government. There was still a long queue in front of Dr. Ho's consultation desk, and he patiently looked at it, and because it was hot, he occasionally stood up and opened a Huoxiang Zhengqi water for the patient. The intern who grabbed medicine had graduated and was assigned to work in the township health center, humbly serving Dr. He as an assistant and looking at this amazing college student master with admiration.
Shufen stood in the courtyard, how she wished that the assistant who accompanied Dr. He was her! Even if it's carrying a suitcase for him, or wiping his sweat, it's a very happy thing!
"Excuse me, are you Yang Shufen?" An unfamiliar voice came from behind her.
Shufen turned around, her face full of doubts: "Are you?" ”
"Oh, my name is Wang Guangwen, I am Liu Fushun's classmate, you are Yang Shufen, right?" Guangwen once again confirmed Shufen's identity, and it is not easy to transfer a "huge amount of money".
Guangwen looked at the simple village girl in front of him. Despite the simple dress, it is clean and neat; A rubber band wrapped with red wool thread was tied to the head, and there was not a single strand of clutter to be seen; Under the untouched willow eyebrows, the long eyelashes blinked, and the eyes rippled like the clear waves of the stone bridge river. The noonday sun shines through the dappled shade of the magnolia tree, reflecting on her handsome face, and quietness, softness and purity envelop this beautiful girl, like a white magnolia that is still blooming in the middle of summer. Ah, even those flowery girls in Jiangyun City will be much inferior in front of her!
"Hello, Brother Guangwen, Brother Fushun mentioned you in the letter. You're on summer vacation, right? ”
"yes, I just got home yesterday. Liu Fushun asked me to bring you some books, and ......" Guangwen hesitated, he still didn't dare to conclude that this beautiful girl was Yang Shufen, "Are you going to go to the communication room to get something!" ”
"Oh, yes, I'm going to get some old newspapers!"
"Then you go first, this book is weird, I'll carry it for you first!" Hirobun expects someone from the communication room to confirm it.
"Yang Shufen, you're here, the newspaper is on the table, you can take it yourself!" The master in the communication room did not look up, and struggled to fiddle with a radio that made noise.
Guangwen followed the door and walked up to the uncle, "Father-in-law, I'll help you get it!" ”
The uncle handed him the machine in his hand, only to see him twist his jaw lightly a few times, and the voice of the announcer of the "People's Radio" came from the loudspeaker.
The enthusiastic Guangwen explained the channel and sound buttons to the uncle, and then went out with Shufen.
"Yang Shufen, Liu Fushun also asked me to bring you a hundred yuan!" Guangwen took the money out of his trouser pocket and handed it to Shufen along with a stack of books.
"Thank you for giving you such a **** annoyance!" Shufen took it and was full of gratitude, not only to Guangwen, but also to Fushun.
"Brother Guangwen, let's go eat a bowl of cold noodles!" Shufen politely invited this visitor from a foreign country and Brother Fushun's classmate. In Shiqiao, she should do her part as a landlord.
"No, I'm going back, thank you!"
"Let's go, Brother Guangwen, don't be in a hurry, the fork river is so far, and it's so hot at noon, it's too late to eat something and then hurry!"
Guangwen bit his chapped lip, and pinched the only five cents in his trouser pocket with his right hand, he really couldn't agree to Shufen's invitation. You can't let a girl invite you to eat, can you? However, he was really gracious, and he was thinking about spending four cents to eat two bowls of cold noodles......
"Let's go, there's a food group over there!" Although Shufen is familiar with where to sell cold powder, it is also a luxury for her, if it was in the past, she would never be willing to buy something to eat on the day of the rush.
Shufen led Guangwen to the food group, which was already full of people.
After asking for two bowls of cold noodles, Shufen got up and poured two bowls of eagle tea. Guangwen lifted it up and drank it all, Shufen smiled, and went to pour another cup.
"My brother, is he still used to school?"
"It's okay, he's amazing, he's a celebrity at school!"
"Celebrity, haha, what kind of celebrity is he?"
"He learns several grades of courses by himself, and the homework he does is the answer in the teacher's textbook!"
"Hey, nerd!"
"Yang Shufen, it looks like we're all the same age, right? Where do you go to school? Guangwen's question was a bit abrupt, and even he himself regretted his recklessness, he should have seen that the girl opposite was no longer in school! In rural areas, there are very few girls who still study after junior high school!
Shufen looked at Guangwen with an embarrassed face, took the cold powder brought by the fat uncle of the food group, and smiled calmly. "No, the family conditions are not good, and there is more land to be done!" Yang Shufen, who was calm, took a sip of tea.
"Oh, it's good in the countryside...... Now the policy is also good! Guangwen accosted embarrassedly.
"My brother...... He said he didn't say when he would be back? ”
"I asked him and he said he wasn't coming back for the summer. By the way, he had a letter in that book! ”
"Oh, what does he do there besides studying?"
"I heard him say that he had to go back to the dock in the evening to pick up the goods. Anyway, he is very powerful, just like a myth, it doesn't cost money to study in school, and he can earn his own money, which is really promising! Guangwen was very envious, and wanted to ask Fushun several times if he could take him to pick up the goods, but he swallowed the words back. He knew that it was absolutely okay to work hard, but he didn't have the talent of Fushun, and if he worked at night and on weekends, his homework would be delayed. Guangwen is not the kind of student who messes around!
"How much time do you usually spend together?"
"It's not much, sometimes at noon together to set up the dragon gate array, he doesn't rest at noon, and his energy is very good!"
Two bowls of jelly were not much, and the two children ate them quickly. Shufen rushed to give the money, which made Guangwen blush and purple for a while, and beads of sweat fell to the ground.
"I'll come to Shiqiao on the ninth of next month, if you have anything to bring to Liu Fushun, I'll come to the street to pick it up then!" Guangwen made this decision on an ad hoc basis.
"Well, thank you, you're such a nice person!"
"No thanks. Where is your hospital? I'm going to buy some medicine! Guangwen was really a little guilty, but he was also a little glad that he could still use the five cents to buy back some painkiller tablets for his sick mother.
"Oh, are there any sick people at home? What kind of medicine should I buy? The hospital is just behind that! ”
"My mother, buy some painkillers!"
"Do you have a headache?"
"Tuberculosis." Guangwen's face was a little gloomy, and he could see the pain in the heart of this filial child.
"Brother Guangwen, there is a very powerful doctor in our hospital, graduated from medical school, and he is from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, so I can't let your mother come here to have a look!"
"Forget it, let's take some medicine to relieve the pain first! She...... Can't walk! ”
"He can come to see a doctor, I'll take you!"
The enthusiastic Shufen pulled Guangwen and left. Guangwen brought the heavy books from Shufen's hand again.
He had a glimmer of hope, even though his family was already surrounded by walls, and even the money for school was borrowed by his father. However, as long as there is a little hope, he is willing to try.
Shufen walked through the crowd and came to He Pan. The sweaty "little grandfather" was patiently auscultating an old grandmother, and the assistant who didn't know how to cherish was already napping beside him.
waited until He Pan took off the stethoscope before Shufen spoke. "Grandpa Pan, can you go to Chahe to see a patient?"
"What's sick? Is it strict? He Pan asked sternly while prescribing the medicine.
"Tuberculosis, it's been years!"
"It's a chronic disease, tomorrow! Where is the address? ”
"Brother Guangwen, address ......"
Guangwen walked over, very politely wrote the address on the back of He Pan's prescription form, and then bowed deeply. He never expected that the doctors working in the public health center would come to his door.
When he was about to separate, he suddenly asked, "Liu Fushun is not your own brother, right?" ”
Shufen was a little surprised, but still answered honestly: "No, but, it's about the same as my own brother!" ”
"Oh......"
Fushun's final test results made him extremely proud, and Liu Yonghan extremely proud. But the people on the dock don't care about the boss's godson's studies, this kid who returned to the dock and wore an undershirt is no different from other "bangbang"!
However, because "fish-flavored shredded pork" is always running around the dock, people are talking more about Fushun's womanhood.
"Genius, please eat rice rolls!" Ever since Fu Shun took Xiangyu to the fan and intestine restaurant on the dock, she was like a demon.
Fushun was extremely reluctant to go, because it always costs money to go. In Li Xiangyu's view, one or two yuan is nothing, but for Fushun, it is a day of sweating.
Sweating profusely, there is also hot pot. Xiang Yu felt that after eating Fushun's fat rice noodles, he always had to be invited back. On a hot day, I took Fushun to eat hot pot, so spicy that my lips couldn't close, and when I ate hot pot, Fushun drank beer for the first time in his life.
Beer is a novelty for Fushun. However, the taste is not very good, not only does it not smell like alcohol, but it also turns into a gas that bubbles up in the stomach and comes out of the nostrils, which is too uncomfortable.
Fushun, who felt that he was wasting money and wasting time, was really hard to speak, and swallowed the words again and again, he always felt that the dolls in this city were fresh, and after a few days, he felt that the dock was nothing fun, and he would not come again!
Suddenly, one day, Xiang Yu brought him a piece of news: she inquired about Yang Guiying......
