He Xiangdong has been very busy recently, and after class every afternoon, he leaves the party school in a hurry, looking like he is busy with official business.

It was Li Hui who called, and Zeng Yi knew what He Xiangdong was busy with, and it turned out that he insisted on going to the Beijing Hospital every day to visit Hou Liangzhi. Zeng Yi didn't tell anyone about this anymore, he just thought it was a little funny, He Xiangdong's self-motivated heart was inevitably too hot! In the officialdom, it has always been a low-level person to visit a high-level person, He Xiangdong is good, a dignified county magistrate, even went to the hospital every day to deliver food and water to the vice principal of a county party school, shush the cold and ask for warmth, if this is known to outsiders, wouldn't it be an aggressive thing!

If He Xiangdong's wish fails in the end, I don't know what kind of mood he will have?

After going to the hospital for several days in a row, He Xiangdong suddenly stopped going that day, and his mood was a little low during class, Zeng Yi understood at a glance that there was no hope for replacing Hou Liangzhi to take over as the secretary of the class branch. Zeng Yi was never optimistic about this matter, but he didn't expect He Xiangdong to attach so much importance to the position of secretary of the small class branch.

After the afternoon class, He Xiangdong suddenly asked Zeng Yi: "Boss, what are you busy with after the class?" ”

Zeng Yi smiled, and said in his heart that He Xiangdong had nothing to do, and finally remembered himself, he said: "I don't have anything to do, just go to the city and walk around, or read a book in the dormitory." ”

He Xiangdong let out an "oh", then took a puff of cigarette, and followed Zeng Yi in the direction of the dormitory, thinking about what he was going to do today. He is also a figure who is a county magistrate, so he can't afford to put it down, but he has been running to the hospital for the past few days, and he is still a little uncomfortable for a while when he suddenly doesn't go.

In the evening, He Xiangdong did not return to the Beijing Office, and after having dinner in the canteen, he didn't know where to get two bottles of Wuliangye, and drank them in the dormitory behind closed doors with Zeng Yi.

"Boss, what are your plans after graduation?" He Xiangdong chewed a peanut and drank with Zeng Yi, an idle person with good taste and no job, and he was more able to let go, and said, "Before you came, the county didn't give you any explanation?" ”

Zeng Yi smiled and said: "I have confessed, and I promised to let me take up a real position after graduation, but how can this be accurate, as long as the red-headed document does not come down, any change may happen." ”

He Xiangdong nodded heavily and said, "This is also true!" ”

Zeng Yi also picked up a few peanuts and chewed them, and said, "What is Brother He's going to do?" ”

He Xiangdong raised his cup and touched Zeng Yi, took a sip, and said: "My plan is to work hard for another ten years until the deputy mayor retires, so that he can enjoy the treatment of a department level." As for the vice-province, I don't dare to think that there is not such a big creation! ”

"Brother He is in the prime of life, and it is not difficult to realize this idea!" Zeng Yi said.

He Xiangdong shook his head slightly and said, "How can it be so simple, brother!" Haven't you heard that sentence, a diploma is very important, age is a treasure, the key is to look at the background! Let's go to the party school to gild, isn't it just to ask for a small progress after going back, but if you don't have the appreciation of the competent background, if you want to make an inch, it will be difficult to climb to the sky! ”

"Anyway, I didn't think about it so much, I can mix it up as much as I can, let it be, it's not me who calls the shots!" Zeng Yi said with a smile.

He Xiangdong smiled and said, "You can think like this now, but when you take up a leadership position in the future, you won't think so." Power is a thing that is easy to pick up, but difficult to put down, and you will understand in the future that as long as there is an opportunity to improve, no one will give up. ”

Zeng Yi just smiled faintly and didn't answer the conversation, if from the bottom of his heart, Zeng Yi didn't care too much about promotion, he entered the system, just wanted to use the power in his hands to do a few things, not for the purpose of promotion. However, what He Xiangdong said is indeed the reality of officialdom, whether it is a small clerk or a feudal official like Qin Liangxin, all he thinks about is how to raise his level again.

He Xiangdong seemed to feel that he had said too much, and said: "However, I still say the same thing, if you are not happy in Nanjiang, come to Brother He, I will not treat my brother badly!" ”

"Thank you, Brother He!" Zeng Yi lifted the cup, this is the second time He Xiangdong has said this, no matter what, this intention is understood.

"Of course, if you get the scenery in Nanjiang, I, the eldest brother, will also be happy for you!" He Xiangdong clinked glasses with Zeng Yi and said, "To be honest, I really envy you, when you come to study in the party school, you have the appearance of being a student." When I was your age, I was also very carefree, but since I was bent on seeking office, I couldn't help myself. ”

Zeng Yi smiled, as said in "Dream of Red Mansions": Because of the small yarn hat, the shackles were carried.

After drinking the two bottles of Wuliangye, He Xiangdong fell asleep under the quilt, and when he got up the next morning, He Xiangdong's spirit was much better, and he couldn't see the depression of the previous day at all, he finished washing up and said, "Boss, I have something to do, so I'll go first!" ”

"Okay, Brother He, you're busy!" Zeng Yi responded.

He Xiangdong walked to the door of the dormitory with his handbag, and when he walked to the door, he stopped and said, "Boss, if it's okay, don't stay in the dormitory to read, and go to contact your classmates more." After speaking, without waiting for Zeng Yi to respond, He Xiangdong opened the door and left the night in good spirits

Zeng Yi shook his head, He Xiangdong has returned to the style of being a county magistrate, probably yesterday. It's just a little depressed in my heart.

Today's break, no classes, breakfast, Zeng Yi, as usual, walked around the campus, and then the phone rang.

"It's Zeng Yi, right?" Secretary Zhang's voice came from the phone and said, "Today is a rest day, you don't have any arrangements, right?" ”

Zeng Yi said: "No, I plan to go to the library to borrow a book to read!" ”

Over there, Secretary Zhang laughed a couple of sentences and said, "You prepare, about half an hour later, I will come to the party school to pick you up, Xu Lao has been discharged from the hospital, and I specially invite you to sit at home, to thank you for your rescue last time."

Zeng Yi excused himself and said: "This is too polite, just let Xu Lao have a good rest, I won't bother!" ”

Secretary Zhang didn't allow Zeng Yi to object, and said, "That's it, I'm going to go!" After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.

Zeng Yi smiled helplessly, this Secretary Zhang is really not very reliable, last time in the Summer Palace, he didn't leave someone by Xu Lao's side to take care of him, so he ran back to get the bird cage by himself, and almost made a big mess; Last time I was in the Beijing Hospital, I had to send myself back to the party school, so I ran all the way hungry; This time, it is engaged in "forced buying and forced selling".

At this point, Zeng Yi had no choice, turned around and walked to the dormitory, and when he entered the dormitory, he took out two boxes of top general tea from the cabinet, and prepared to give it to Secretary Xu Lao Zhang as a gift for a while. The number of seeds in this tea can also be filled.

After changing his clothes, Secretary Zhang's phone came again, and he immediately arrived at the gate of the party school.

"Then let's meet at the entrance of the alley across the street from the school!" Zeng Yi said that he didn't know what car Secretary Zhang brought over, if it was too eye-catching, it would inevitably be targeted when he met at the gate of the crowded school, and when the time came, it would be difficult for him to be quiet.

A few minutes later, Zeng Yi arrived at the mouth of the alley he said, and when he saw the car brought by Secretary Zhang, he said in his heart that he had really arranged it correctly, Secretary Zhang brought a car from a central ministry and commission today, and the number was relatively small, which was very eye-catching.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!" Zeng Yi greeted him and said to Secretary Zhang.

"I've just arrived!" Secretary Zhang smiled and said, "Old Xu is still waiting at home, let's go!" ”

"Okay!" Zeng Yi followed Secretary Zhang into the car.

After the car started, it went in the direction of the suburbs of Beijing, Zeng Yi looked at it, and knew that the target was likely to be Tianhe Garden, or Xiyuan Villa, the two places were very close, but Tianhe Garden was more likely.

"The place where Xu Lao lives seems to be some distance from the Summer Palace!" Zeng Yi asked casually.

Secretary Zhang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Xu usually lives near the Summer Palace, and after being discharged from the hospital this time, Minister Xu was not at ease, so he took Mr. Xu to live by his side for a while. ”

Zeng Yi sighed, his heart turned out to be like this, if Xu Lao lived in Tianhe Garden and had to go to the Summer Palace to exercise every morning, it would be enough to toss.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the place, and as Zeng Yi expected, the destination was indeed Tianheyuan.

The guard at the door carefully checked the car's pass and documents before giving permission, and after the car entered, Secretary Zhang also introduced Zeng Yi, pointing to the villas on both sides of the road, saying who lives here and who lives there, all of which are usually thunderous names.

In fact, Zeng Yi knows all this, it is not the first time he has come to Tianheyuan, he stood at the gate for three days, and finally because of Long Qingquan's call, he was also arrested by the people of the Security Bureau, he has a certain familiarity with this place, and has extremely special feelings.

The car happened to pass by the door of Long Qingquan's house, Zeng Yi felt a heartache inexplicably, he glanced through the car window, and found that the gate of the Long family was closed at this time, and he couldn't see the situation in the courtyard.

Secretary Zhang said: "This is the mansion of the former Director of Customs Long!" ”

Zeng Yi retracted his gaze, and Xindao didn't know how Long Meixin was doing now, whether she was happy or not outside.

The car turned in front, advanced more than 200 meters, and finally stopped at the gate of a small courtyard, Secretary Zhang smiled: "It's here, Comrade Zeng Yi, please get out of the car!" ”

Pushing the door into the small courtyard, I saw Xu Lao standing in the courtyard, there was a bird cage hanging on the tree in front of him, and inside was a wren.

Seeing Zeng Yi come in, Xu Lao smiled and said, "Xiao Zeng is here, hurry, sit in the house!" ”

Zeng Yi smiled and said, "Elder Xu is so interested

Xu Lao put the millet in his hand into a small bowl, clapped his hands, and said: "Don't mention it, the kingfisher who lost me in the Summer Palace some time ago, this is the wren brother who just got it, and he can't speak yet, but when you come next time, maybe it will be able to speak, and it will welcome you!" ”

The kingfisher was picked up by Zeng Yi and placed in Zhai Lao's place, in front of Xu Lao, of course Zeng Yi didn't dare to say the whereabouts of the kingfisher, anyway, it was a bird, and he didn't have to take it too seriously, Zeng Yi smiled and followed Xu Lao into the door.

"Come, sit down!" Xu Lao entered the door and pointed to the sofa in the room, then picked up a hot towel to wipe his hands, and said, "When you get here, be casual, don't be restrained!" ”

Zeng Yi put the two boxes of tea aside and waited for Xu Lao to come and sit together.

When Xu Lao saw it, he said: "Today is my thank you for your rescue, why did you break the bank!" ”

Zeng Yi said with a smile: "It's just two boxes of tea, it's worthless, but it has a certain health care effect, and drinking it often is good for the stomach." ”

Xu Lao didn't say anything anymore, went over to ask Zeng Yi to sit down, and then asked Secretary Zhang to bring out a few fruit plates, which were some fresh fruits and some dried fruit desserts, and warmly entertained: "Xiao Zeng, come, taste!" ”

Zeng Yi casually took two red dates and put them in his hand and asked, "Old Xu is better, right?" ”

Xu Lao said: "It's much better! It seems that you still have to find the right doctor for this treatment, this time I invited a big country to make a prescription, I only ate his prescription for a week, and I feel that the whole person is different. I used to worry about this problem when I went out, but now I sleep very steadily. ”

"Shui Lao is a big country, and if he takes action, Xu Lao's health will definitely be fine!" Zeng Yi said.

Xu Lao sighed with emotion and said: "I didn't believe much in the effects of some Chinese medicines before, because I myself used to do research in this area. At that time, the Ministry of Health had a project to use scientific means to study the ingredients of ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, which were valuable medicinal materials, and I also participated, and the state also invested a lot of money for this, and finally came to the conclusion that ginseng was similar to radish in terms of composition. ”

Zeng Yi smiled and nodded, he had also heard of this matter, including now, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Science and Technology have done many such research projects every year, but most of them have not yielded results, but not all of them have not yielded results.

There is no result, because there is no right way, as long as you find the right way, there will always be some discoveries.

Regarding the use and efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, after thousands of years of practice in traditional Chinese medicine, there has long been a set of very detailed and formal usage methods: for example, Artemisia annua for the treatment of malaria, medical books have long been written, can not be used decoction, can only be taken with fresh Artemisia annua juice, because high temperature will destroy the structure of artemisinin, the ancients did not have this set of advanced technology, but can also summarize the correct usage; For example, Western medicine has found that the ingredients in kudzu can relax the muscles, but they can't understand why the kudzu root only relaxes the muscle at the back of the head.

In the pharmacopoeia of medical books thousands of years ago, the medicinal properties and efficacy of each medicine, as well as the meridians of action, including the direction and law of the medicinal properties walking in the human body, were clearly written.

However, it is not easy to unearth the thousand-year-old wisdom in traditional Chinese medicine and combine it with modern science and technology to make good medicine, which not only requires a large amount of research funding, but also requires a down-to-earth scientific spirit. (To be continued.)
