Luo Yuzhen combed her thick black hair into a bun and tied it behind her head. She inserted the jade hairpin into her hair, making her look even more elegant and solemn. She had never liked heavy makeup since she was young, as Hua Shiliang said she was born beautiful and did not need to be carved. Her slender eyebrows were neither deep nor shallow, and they were naturally delicate. Her bright eyes shone with a kind and gentle light. The passage of time did not take away the redness on her thin lips. Her fair oval face was still flushed with youth. His straight nose gave off an even more elegant feeling. She was calm and had a kind of temperament that made people feel intimate and inviolable. She pulled up her sky-blue satin jacket and went downstairs. When she entered the guest room, she saw through the glass window of the west wing room that her husband was still seriously revising his " Clinic Diagnose " in his room. She walked softly to the little garden. She picked up her beloved flowers, bonsai, and small garden.
This house was specially bought by Hua Shiliang's father as a new house for them. Originally, there was no small garden. After the Lugouqiao Incident, she left the bustling provincial capital with Hua Shiliang and went home to open the Guanghua Western Medicine Internal Medicine Clinic. Luo Yuzhen felt that the clinic should be bright, clean, and elegant. She suggested that her husband tear down the east and west wings in front of the guest hall and transform them into a small garden, which could also make the rooms on both sides of the guest hall bright. Hua Shiliang thought that his wife's idea was very good and immediately asked people to start work. The east and west penthouse had been demolished, and with the original rectangular courtyard in the middle, the area was still not very big. Luo Yuzhen was ingenious. She did not stack exquisite rockery, build a clear pond, or build a winding corridor. Other than maintaining the original osmanthus and Magnolia trees in front of the east and west windows, she did not plant other green trees. She only planted wintersweet and southern bamboo in the corners of the east and west corners of the door. Plantain trees were planted in front of the wing room window. On the east and west sides of the wall, stone slabs were used to build ladder-like flower racks to place bonsai. He pried up the stone slabs in the courtyard and turned them into a cobblestone pathway that was more than ten feet wide. A tea rack was set up on it. The lawn was planted on both sides of the road. On the eastern wall climbed the sky. The small garden was simple but complex, and ordinary but strange. The four seasons of the year alternated to compete for beauty and fragrance, each showing their elegant demeanor. The fragrance of flowers assaulted people, making it warm and elegant. For more than ten years, she had cultivated nearly a hundred kinds of flower bonsai, and she could also tell the stories of various flowers and the poems praised by scholars in the past. Whenever she had free time or a clear night, she would put two rattan chairs on the lawn, make fragrant tea or prepare wine and dishes, drink tea with her husband, and laugh happily. When Jiang Shanshan came, she often liked to drink tea and chat with her. He said that not only was he sitting face to face with Sister Yuzhen, but he was also sitting in Sister Yuzhen's arms. Because this little garden had already melted into Sister Yuzhen's spirit.
Luo Yuzhen finished tidying up the garden and stopped in front of the pharmacy window. Under the window was a long table a foot high with six pots of daffodils on it. Among the lush green leaves, there were seven or eight flower buds growing on them. Some of them were already blooming, white as jade, lovely and fragrant. She loved daffodils because she did not use her demonic colors to charm people.”Elegant and elegant, the fragrance of flowers was pure and clear. It was even more translucent than the moon. "Celestial Immortals can't go to the earth, so let's borrow the name of the water fairy.”Tuogen water, not covered with soil, elegant name Narcissus, well-deserved. She loved the daffodils even more.”In the cold snow, he could still fight proudly, but he was still humble and inferior to Lan Sun.
Hua Shiliang walked to his wife's side and caressed her shoulder lovingly. He smiled gently at her and admired the early blooming daffodils together. He praised Shen Huilian for being like this daffodil. She understood what her husband meant. He wanted to make this fisherman girl his future daughter-in-law. Although Shen Huilian grew up on a fishing boat, she was not only beautiful and intelligent, but also gentle and dignified. She admired her husband for being born into a wealthy family, but he had no prejudice against family status. The people in D-Town looked down on the people on the fishing boats the most. She looked at her husband and smiled knowingly.
Hua Shiliang had a very high opinion of Shen Huilian's character. The only regret he had was that she refused to listen to his advice to go ashore to study. He didn't blame her, but he understood her difficulties. It wasn't that she didn't want to improve herself, but she couldn't bear to see her brother, Shen Huimin, stay on the boat alone and go through the wind and rain. He also advised Shen Huimin to give up fishing and study medicine with him. However, Shen Huimin thought that he was clumsy and was afraid that he would not be able to learn it. In the future, he would become a " osmanthus doctor " who cheated people of their money and harmed people's lives. He could understand that the siblings had lost the care of adults since they were young and depended on each other. " A woman's lack of talent is virtue." He always felt that it would be perfect if Hui Lian could learn some culture. He often found opportunities to encourage his wife, saying,"It's time to persuade Hui Lian to study.”
Luo Yuzhen was also paying attention to this and said,""Bingying has been trying to persuade him as well. However, Hui Lian was quite thoughtful. Whenever she was free, she would follow Bing Ying and Bing Huan to self-study.”
Hua Shiliang said happily,"That's good, that's good!" It was the same for self-study. Many world cultural celebrities relied on self-study to become successful. For example, Qi Baishi of our country, Gorky of the Soviet Union, and so on.”
Hua Shijie walked out from the guest hall. Luo Yuzhen thought that her uncle liked to sleep in and thought that their conversation was too loud. She said apologetically,"Yo, I woke you up."
Hua Shijie: " Sister-in-law, I really want to sleep. I can't wake up even if I beat the gongs and drums." Sister Chunhua's troupe is here today. I want to go and take a look.”
Although her uncle did not say it, Luo Yuzhen already knew that he had fallen in love with Lu Chunhua's disciple, Zhou Peiying. She secretly admired her uncle's eyesight. This girl was beautiful and steady. It was truly a golden opportunity to get married to Little Uncle as she wished. He encouraged her,"Go! Don't rush back. I can handle the pharmacy.”
"Thank you, Sister-in-law!" Hua Shijie said as he was about to leave.
Luo Yuzhen stopped Hua Shijie, gave him some money, and asked him to bring a pot of narcissus to Jiang Shanshan. Because he had to pass by her house.
Hua Shijie picked up the pot of daffodils and hurriedly left the door.
Hua Shiliang was very grateful for his wife's love for his younger brother, but he also felt that she doted on him too much. He said,"He's already twenty years old. We can't let him be unrestrained anymore.”
Luo Yuzhen said," People rely on their own nature. Those who are not good in nature will become worse the more they are pampered. Those who are good will not become bad no matter how much they are pampered. I think Little Uncle will be more promising than us in the future.”
Hua Shiliang said in distress,"If you want to talk about intelligence, he is also the best, but he is unwilling to learn medicine." From now on, I think it won't do if you don't have a skill. Didn't the Great Party preach that everyone had to rely on their own hands to work and live? If he didn't study medicine now, he would really become a horse wanderer in the future. My parents will scold me in the spring."
Luo Yuzhen did not think so. She said," Why are you worrying so much?'I'm born to be useful.' Those who are prime ministers will not be generals, and those who are generals will not be prime ministers. I think Uncle is not interested in medicine. Once he encounters something he is interested in, he will definitely be outstanding and extraordinary. People were all developing their own life path according to their own ideals.”
It was past nine o'clock. As usual, it was the busiest time in the clinic. Hua Shijie didn't come back, so Luo Yuzhen had to stay in the pharmacy and couldn't help her husband receive patients. A man in his thirties walked in from outside. He had broad cheeks, an eagle nose, thick eyebrows, and a medium build. He was wearing a faded blue khaki tunic suit. He introduced himself to Hua Shiliang and said that he was from the county's cultural and health department. His name was Jia Jinshi and he wanted to talk to Hua Shiliang.
Hua Shiliang only felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. He didn't like to receive patients when he was treating them. Because the Department of Health and Culture was also in charge of medical hygiene, he could only stand up and ask his wife to receive the patients. He accompanied Jia Jinshi into the study next door. He wiped his glasses and smiled humbly."Comrade, I'm too busy. Please make it short. I'm sorry!”
Jia Jinshi was also a busy person, so he went straight to the point and stated his intentions. The county knows that you're a famous doctor in D City and is highly praised by the masses. They've considered transferring you to the county hospital to be the director. You'll be in charge of the work of the county's hospitals and offices to promote the county's medical and health care industry.
Hua Shiliang, who had never cared about politics, heard that such a heavy burden meant that he had to engage in administrative affairs. He thought that once he left, Fang Zhaorong would be stripped of his position, so he politely refused, saying that he only knew how to treat illnesses, not to engage in administrative affairs, and did not understand Leninism. Moreover, the family burden was heavy, and it was difficult to maintain a family of six by relying on the supply system. Jia Jinshi mobilized for a while. Seeing that Hua Shiliang was still insisting on his own opinion, he was not very happy. He still said in a friendly manner that his brother and wife could also be arranged to work in the hospital. Of course, the monthly salary would be a little lower, but it would not affect the life of his family. Think about it carefully. This is the need of the revolution and the trust of the great party and the people in you. After saying that, he left politely.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, all the patients left. Luo Yuzhen made two cups of tea and asked her husband to rest in the small garden. Hua Shiliang then remembered what happened to Jia Jinshi in the morning and told his wife.
Luo Yuzhen was also enthusiastic about politics when she was a student. She hoped that the motherland would be strong and the people would be rich, and that they would no longer be bullied by the imperialists. After she got married and had children, her parents-in-law, who had died early, entrusted the young Hua Shijie to her. She was busy with housework and gradually became indifferent to politics. Her husband had returned to his hometown to set up a clinic, and she had put her heart and soul into it. To be honest, Hua Shiliang only knew how to treat illnesses. She rarely went out. It had been more than half a year since she was liberated, but she had never gone out for any meetings or read the newspapers. It was only because of her daughter Bing Ying that she had a good impression of the Great Party and had feelings for the New China. If the county health department wanted Hua Shiliang to be a doctor in the hospital, she would encourage her husband. His daughter was right. The Great Party had made the people of China stand up. As a citizen of China, he should contribute to the construction of a prosperous and powerful new country and become the director. She agreed with her husband because she knew her husband too well. He was neither an official fanatic nor talented in this field. On the contrary, he would mess up the work of the hospital and let Jiang Shanshan down. Her husband was right. If he went, he would really squeeze out Fang Zhaorong's position as the director.
The street director, Zhuge Chang, walked in with a wild rabbit in his hand and said,"Physician Hua, he was just killed. The delicacies that were served after the wine were given by others, so I borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha.”
Although Hua Shiliang used to help Zhuge Chang, he always felt a little apologetic when receiving gifts from others. He said,"You can keep it for yourself."
"There are two. These are specially left for you.”Zhuge Chang took the cigarette from Hua Shiliang." Martial Aunt Hua, don't make tea. I'll leave after a while." He had a meeting in the afternoon and drank a bellyful of tea.”
Zhuge Chang was a regular customer. Luo Yuzhen knew that he liked cigarettes, wine, and tea all his life, so she went to make a cup of tea.
Zhuge Chang sat on the chair that Luo Yuzhen had brought out and chatted for a while before getting to the main topic. He said that the current street officials were not as idle as the Baojia chiefs in the old society. The Great Party cared about the lives of the people and attached great importance to street work. Being a street cadre was really very busy. There was only one director and one security officer in this street, and I was not well-educated. I really felt a little powerless. I asked the government to add a director several times, but I shook my head at the few candidates he recommended. I either thought that the family composition was not good, or that my thinking was backward and the social relations were complicated. He had mentioned Luo Yuzhen at the meeting today, and the town instructor had agreed to it and asked him to do the mobilization. He also said that he would be the deputy director and Luo Yuzhen would be the chief physician. He would listen to her in the future because she was well-educated and definitely more capable than him. Moreover, there was no one on the street who did not praise her.
Luo Yuzhen didn't care that the street committee was doing their duty. However, she thought that the clinic was busy and her uncle didn't put his heart into the clinic. If she really became the street director, she would definitely do her best to work on the street. It was impossible for her to take care of the clinic. This would affect the development of the clinic and tire her husband out. She spoke frankly about her concerns.
Zhuge Chang could understand, but he also felt a little troubled. Because the town had a good impression of Luo Yuzhen, they recognized her as a good candidate and encouraged him to follow her thoughts. He also boasted. He had no choice but to say,"Martial Aunt Hua, Instructor Chen from the town especially praised you." He said that the day you pleaded for Jiang Shanshan, he could tell that you were a very capable woman. As long as you were willing to come out, you would definitely be an outstanding street cadre.”
That was eight days ago. It was also past three in the afternoon. Luo Yuzhen and Hua Shiliang were drinking tea and chatting in the garden when Fei Guixiang barged in and said that Jiang Shanshan had been caught gambling. She went to plead for mercy. The police wanted Jiang Shanshan to write a self-reflection letter, but Jiang Shanshan refused. She went to look for her godfather, but he wasn't there, so she could only come here and ask them to think of a way.
Luo Yuzhen and Hua Shiliang were very anxious. The police station of the great party was not the police station of the timid party. They could find an acquaintance and spend some money to get out of anything. No matter how much money they spent on Jiang Shanshan, they didn't care. The Great Party was too serious in their work. They didn't recognize their relatives and friends. It was difficult to get money. Some things, in their minds, still felt that they were overdoing it. Besides, they didn't know the officials of the Great Party. Hua Shiliang thought that his daughter must know the county's cadre, so he had to wait for her to come back and try to find an acquaintance. Luo Yuzhen said no. Bing Ying would only be back at night. No one would be working at night. Jiang Shanshan would be locked up for the night. This matter could not be delayed! She stood up and went to the police station with Fei Guixiang without hesitation.
The guard at the door refused to let them in. Fei Guixiang didn't buy it either. Seeing that he didn't listen to her kind words, she wanted to barge in. Coincidentally, Instructor Chen came and asked what was going on. The guard said that Jiang Shanshan's goddaughter and sister were here to plead for the gambler. He refused to let them in and insisted on entering.
Instructor Chen had already heard about Jiang Shanshan's stubborn resistance and was furious. Now that her goddaughter had dared to quarrel with the public security guard, she was even angrier. He brought them into Zhu Leqing's office and wanted to reprimand her severely. He asked Luo Yuzhen seriously what her name was. After hearing Luo Yuzhen's words, he thought that she and Jiang Shanshan were sisters who had married at the mahjong table. Luo Yuzhen smiled." I still don't know how to play mahjong. Even if someone taught me, I wouldn't waste my precious time on such a boring thing." He asked Luo Yuzhen what she did for a living. Luo Yuzhen only gave a brief answer. She studied medicine with her husband, Hua Shiliang. He had heard about Hua Shiliang's situation from the crowd, so he had a good impression of Luo Yuzhen. She said that she shouldn't have advised her good friend to quit this boring thing. Since he had already committed a crime, he could not intercede.
Luo Yuzhen didn't appear humble and pleading, nor did she panic because of his and the other public security officers 'stern eyes. She said calmly that in the old society, women were not allowed to participate in men's affairs and were not allowed to enter society. In order to bind the women's thoughts and restrict their actions, they used dice, dominoes, and other instruments to numb the women. In order to increase excitement and interest, sometimes they would use wine to determine rewards and punishments, and sometimes they would take a small amount of money to determine the winner. After thousands of years of practice, they were used to it. Everyone treated it as a game to get rid of the troubles brought by their free time. Very few people realized that this was a degenerate. The root of evil was still in the feudal old society. D City had only been liberated for more than half a year. As housewives had been influenced by the feudal ideology of the old society for a long time, they did not have enough understanding of the old habits and bad ethos brought about by the old society. They could not see through its disadvantages, so it was inevitable that they would miss it. They had to rely on the government's repeated propaganda and patient education to make them change their minds and repent. Jiang Shanshan was just like that. She was stubborn by nature, not stubborn. As long as she explained the truth clearly, she would wake up faster than others and change resolutely and thoroughly. In fact, women like us are all the same. There are more old things in our minds than new things. When old ideas encounter new problems, we often can't turn around for a moment. It's very natural. I don't like to play mahjong. If the government doesn't prohibit it, I'll think it's a gambling game. How would I realize that this is also gambling? In fact, Jiang Shanshan was also a person who wanted to improve. She usually praised the Great Party and would never deliberately oppose the government. Like me, she doesn't go out much, doesn't have meetings, doesn't study, and her thoughts can't keep up with the development of the times. She only broke the ban because she was confused. Through this education, he would definitely learn from his mistakes. Please forgive her, it's her first offense. I guarantee that through the government's patient education, she will definitely change. She especially emphasized the phrase " patient education." She instinctively realized that these police officers were careless in their education methods. She also wanted to explain that educating a person required careful work and patience.
Instructor Chen felt that Luo Yuzhen's words were reasonable, and her attitude and tone were gentle. Jiang Shanshan was only playing mahjong and did not go in and out much. She was different from a gambler. He discussed with Zhu Leqing and the others and asked Luo Yuzhen to persuade Jiang Shanshan to admit her mistake and write a self-reflection. Zhu Leqing was also afraid that if the stalemate continued, it would be difficult to resolve, so he agreed.
When Fei Guixiang heard that Luo Yuzhen was going to persuade Jiang Shanshan, she was afraid that she would make things awkward again. She quickly said that she was the one who caused this matter and that she should reflect on it.
Luo Yuzhen understood Fei Guixiang's intentions and felt that there was no need to drag both of them into it, so she persuaded her. He followed Zhu Leqing and the others to the room where Jiang Shanshan was detained. In the past, she had advised Jiang Shanshan not to be tactful today. She said as soon as they met,""You're really muddle-headed. You're too busy with your family matters. Why did you go play mahjong on a whim? We're all from the old society. Our minds are full of old and backward things. We should learn more from the good people and good deeds of the new society. You're not looking forward but retreating instead. Although the winning or losing wasn't big, since there was money going in and out, it was gambling. Why bother? They were all housewives. Whoever lost would be pocketed. Even if the government wants to interfere, I will also criticize you. If he was wrong, then he was wrong. Why was he still so stubborn? The ancients said,"If you make mistakes, you will not be afraid of politics." He who tells me of my faults is my teacher.' These comrades criticized you for your own good.‘When you see good, you will change. When you have a mistake, you will change. It would be fine if he changed it in the future. You should also think about how your son is waiting for you to go back.”
At the mention of her son, Jiang Shanshan really wanted to fly back and kiss him. She was a transparent person and understood that Zhu Leqing wanted Luo Yuzhen to persuade her. It was time to take advantage of this to change the helm. After all, it was not beneficial for him to be tense. He said,"I realized that playing mahjong was wrong. I made a mistake and I'm willing to pay more." They didn't agree and insisted on locking me up here.”
"Don't blame this and that anymore. You should blame yourself for being stupid. The government didn't care about the fine, they just wanted to repent. You know you're wrong, so you should write a self-reflection.‘Who doesn't make mistakes? There's nothing better than being able to change after going too far.'He wrote a self-review to show that he was determined to change. I would have written it long ago. You're a straightforward person, what are you hesitating for?”Luo Yuzhen passed the pen and paper to Jiang Shanshan.
Jiang Shanshan also understood that she couldn't avoid this challenge, so she wrote two lines: "I have realized that playing mahjong is wrong. I will definitely correct it in the future.”
Zhu Leqing felt that this self-reflection was too simple and not profound. He was not satisfied and wanted her to rewrite it. Instructor Chen had learned a few words from the literacy class. He didn't like long speeches. He said that it was a flowery article. In terms of words, he was particular about being simple and clear. He just needed to say the main meaning. He felt that Jiang Shanshan's self-reflection was just right. She had a good understanding and attitude. She was not long-winded. He wanted Zhu Leqing to release Jiang Shanshan.
In Luo Yuzhen's opinion, this was an extremely ordinary matter that was not worth mentioning.
Zhuge Chang said that Instructor Chen praised you as a talent and that you managed to educate a 'stubborn person' with just a few words. He praised you for being knowledgeable and analyzing problems in a comprehensive manner. He praised you for your courage and good attitude. In short, I hope you can come out and do something for the streets. After a short while, he started to stir.
Hua Shiliang was also influenced by his daughter to support the Great Party and love the New Heaven Dynasty. As long as Luo Yuzhen agreed, he would support his wife to work for the streets. He felt that the town government's evaluation of his wife was right. He looked at his wife and smiled encouragingly. He understood that his wife was a very independent person and did not need to be motivated by words.
Luo Yuzhen was touched. However, she still did not agree. Her heart had long been given to this family, and the traditional housewife's sense of responsibility for the " family " restrained her from boldly stepping out of the house into society. Thinking of her husband's incompetence in managing the clinic, thinking of her uncle's lack of talent, and thinking of her son's need to be nurtured, she had many worries. She knew very well that once she took on the burden of the streets, she would forget herself and work, and she would not be a good wife and mother.
Zhuge Chang saw that Luo Yuzhen had frankly expressed his thoughts and was afraid that it would affect the clinic, so he did not pester her anymore. He took the two catties of longans that Luo Yuzhen had given him and left with a sigh.
Hua Shiliang went to get the Go and wanted to play a few games with his wife. As soon as it started, a clear voice sounded from the door."Yo, what an elegant mood!"
Luo Yuzhen looked up and saw Lu Chunhua and Jiang Shanshan walking up to them. The couple quickly stood up.
Lu Chunhua hugged Luo Yuzhen and said crisply,"We haven't seen each other for four months again. I've missed your sister so much. Don't you miss your sister?"
"If you don't come, it's useless to miss you." Where can I find someone like you?”
Lu Chunhua: " Swallows miss their old nest. They fly around, but they still fly back to you."”
Hua Shiliang brewed Longjing tea for them and wanted to enter the study.
Jiang Shanshan said to Lu Chunhua,"Brother Shiliang is afraid that we'll eat him and go into the study again."”
Hua Shiliang smiled.
"Brother Shiliang, don't laugh." We're here to snatch Sister Yuzhen away. Just sit down obediently and protect this good wife and mother.”
"Really?" One of you was born in the year of the sheep, and the other was born in the year of the chicken. How could you snatch away the one born in the year of the ox! -- Where's Jing Zhong?"
"When did you hand over your good brother Song Jingzhong to me? You're actually asking me?"
Jiang Shanshan helped Hua Shiliang and said," You were the one who stole Song Jingzhong's soul. If I don't ask you, who else should I ask?"”
Lu Chunhua originally had a husband. They were in the same troupe, and he was a drummer. The husband and wife were also in love. In the year of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the bandit leader of Wujiang took a fancy to her, a famous actress. He kidnapped her and her husband and assassinated her husband, forcing her to be the fourth concubine. She would rather die than obey. Fortunately, Song Jingzhong took the risk to save her. In order to prevent any accidents, he would carry the herbal medicine box and follow her troupe. Wherever she performed, he would set up a herbal medicine stall outside the performance. After the release, the bandit leader was suppressed. Song Jingzhong was relieved and no longer followed the troupe. Sometimes, he would barge into the dock alone. Both of them were deeply in love with each other in their hearts.
"God knows, he's an Earth Immortal, and I'm floating on water, although we're both from the pugilistic world. He was a person. If he said he wanted to leave, he could leave as soon as he was afraid of his butt. I heard that he's in Wuxi." Lu Chunhua's yearning was evoked as she said bitterly,"He can read, but he's too lazy to even write a letter.”
"Men are all wild horses," Jiang Shanshan said."They just want women to be tied to them." You don't blame yourself for keeping him on a leash, but for not writing. I said you should be beaten up."
"I've lived with my ex-husband for three years, and we haven't had a boy or a girl. She probably couldn't give birth. He was the only son. How could I cause his family to lose their line of succession?"
"As long as they are in love, so what if they don't have children?!" When a person lives in a righteous manner, he is worthy of his ancestors. To think that you're wandering the martial world and your mind is filled with feudal ethics!”
Lu Chunhua: " Sister Yuzhen, look at how she's only stepping on me. You should also help me say a few words to her. Otherwise, I'll die of anger."”
Jiang Shanshan smiled and hugged Lu Chunhua.""Amitabha. I can't die, I can't die. I'll really let the audience drown in their saliva if I piss you off, a famous actor from Hangjiahu.”
Everyone was talking and laughing when Fang Zhaorong arrived. He was full of ambition and his face was as bright as the sun.
Luo Yuzhen saw that it was getting late, so she prepared the dishes and wine.
Seeing that Fang Zhaorong was especially happy, Lu Chunhua said,"Brother Zhaorong, you look so happy today. Don't hide it in your stomach or your intestines will rot."
Fang Zhaorong said with great honor,"The county has officially approved my transfer to the county's Department of Culture and Health. I'm in charge of the county's medical and health work." From now on, I'm an official national cadre. You must work hard and serve the people wholeheartedly.”Then, he proudly said a lot of revolutionary theories that he had just learned. Other people might find it boring, but he actually swallowed it without thinking and only understood half of it.
Jiang Shanshan wasn't excited by his smugness. She was only happy that he had decided to work hard and serve the people. She really hoped that her husband could permeate his words into his future actions and be honest and sincere.
Hua Shiliang also felt fortunate for Fang Zhaorong, but he did not compliment him. He knew what to say, but he couldn't.
Luo Yuzhen was also happy for Fang Zhaorong's promotion and did not say anything to celebrate. She didn't know how to flatter people to their faces.
Only Lu Chunhua said some words of celebration. She was a straightforward person and could not hide her emotions. She relied on the Great Party to obtain her freedom. She loved the Great Party from the bottom of her heart, so she respected those who were valued, praised, and promoted by the Great Party. She even regarded them as role models for herself to learn from.
Fang Zhaorong really wanted to do something that everyone praised and the leaders were satisfied with after taking office. He wanted to show his extraordinary talent and make the Great Party trust him more and put him in an important position. He asked Hua Shiliang about the weaknesses of the medical and health system in D City and County.
Hua Shiliang didn't understand political work, so he could only seek medical advice. There was Zhu Shaomei in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Zhu Wenying in Trauma, Song Jingzhong in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Hu Fei in Western Medicine. They were all famous in the four villages. Only the maternal and child department was the weak link in D City.
Fang Zhaorong felt that although Hua Shiliang's comments were a little insightful, they were only limited to a small part of the county's medical work. Of course, he wouldn't say his opinion. Instead, he followed Hua Shiliang's comments and encouraged Luo Yuzhen to work hard in the gynecology and obstetrics department in the future.
Luo Yuzhen did not get carried away by Fang Zhaorong's flattery. She honestly said that Guanghua Clinic was already busy enough. She didn't even have time to help her husband. How could she have the time to study gynecology and obstetrics? She didn't have any talent in this area. Hua Shiliang had once told her that a cultured, smart, and capable person like Jiang Shanshan shouldn't spend her time at the mahjong table. She wanted her to persuade Jiang Shanshan to focus on medicine so that she could become a good doctor. Today was an opportunity for her to share her husband's thoughts with him. If Jiang Shanshan was willing, Hua Shiliang had a classmate who was in the maternal and child department of the provincial hospital. He was quite famous and could learn from her.
Jiang Shanshan quickly shook her head and said that one had to be bold and careful in the medical field. I'm not timid, but I'm too thick-hearted. Moreover, I'm already thirty years old. How can I learn this?
Hua Shiliang wanted to strike while the iron was hot. He encouraged him by saying that thirty years was not considered too long. Moreover, you had been by Fang Zhaorong's side for more than ten years. You had been influenced by him and had a foundation. With your intelligence, you would be able to become successful in one or two years. My friend was not conservative either. He was enthusiastic in teaching others. A great teacher would definitely produce an outstanding disciple. When that time comes, you'll be able to hang a signboard in our Guanghua.
Fang Zhaorong was very happy that his wife could become a doctor, which was within his jurisdiction. He didn't need her to be famous. As the saying goes," A wife is famous, but a husband is bitter. Even if he doesn't want to be a turtle, he will still be a slave." He encouraged them from the side.
Jiang Shanshan had developed a rebellious mentality towards her husband. She would oppose whatever he agreed with. She became more and more aware that his likes and dislikes of people depended on his own advantages and disadvantages. She really did not like the profession of a doctor. Every day, she had to interact with sallow and emaciated patients who were frowning and moaning. It was dirty and annoying.
When Luo Yuzhen and Hua Shiliang saw that Jiang Shanshan did not like to study medicine, their attitude was very clear, and they did not force her. He only secretly felt sorry for her.
Fang Zhaorong had to attend a meeting at the Department of Culture and Health at night, so he didn't dare to drink too much. He was afraid that others would be disgusted. It was his first time attending such a meeting. He was worried that he would be criticized if he was late. He downed a glass of wine, picked up his rice bowl, and hurriedly finished it, ready to leave.
Jiang Shanshan could tell that her husband was cautious and worried about his gains and losses. She stopped him and said,"You've just finished eating and you're already leaving. Aren't you afraid that your throat will be stuck and your intestines will hurt? Walk slowly and leisurely. Being the first to be evaluated as a model does not depend on the momentum of a day!”
Fang Zhaorong was not very happy, but he still had a smile on his face. He slowly walked out of the door and hurried to the county government.
Luo Yuzhen criticized Jiang Shanshan instead. She should not have mocked her husband like this. She should have cared for him in all aspects, encouraged him, and motivated him to sail forward bravely.
Lu Chunhua was thinking about Song Jingzhong's mother and said that she wanted to see this old lady. Luo Yuzhen asked her to bring a ginseng to Aunt Song. Lu Chunhua knew that she had always respected this old lady, so she did not refuse. Luo Yuzhen sent Chunhua out of the guest hall.
Seeing that Jiang Shanshan had finished her meal, Hua Bingying made her a cup of tea and invited her into the study. She suppressed the anger in her heart and told Jiang Shanshan in a calm tone that someone had reported to the county that she had been caught gambling while playing mahjong. The county leader had talked to Meng Chao and criticized her for recommending Jiang Shanshan to be a teacher.?In fact, Deputy County Head An had a very bad opinion of Jiang Shanshan. Bing Ying was afraid that it would be too much of a blow to Jiang Shanshan, and she would be depressed and unable to recover from it. Moreover, she had different thoughts about Deputy County Head An's evaluation, so she said it lightly. He comforted Jiang Shanshan to wait patiently. If there was an opportunity, as long as she had the heart to plant a tree, it would definitely bear fruit.
Jiang Shanshan was both angry and amused. Naturally, she had to complain that the officials of the Great Party were also so narrow-minded, incomprehensible, and unreasonable. They were only doing high-sounding propaganda.
Hua Bingying felt that his words were too one-sided, so he didn't want to correct them. At this time, the correction made Jiang Shanshan even more disgusted. When people complained, their words would also be extreme. She still hoped that Jiang Shanshan could join the teaching team. She heard from Meng Chao that Section Chief Jia had a good influence on Fang Zhaorong, and he even specially transferred Fang Zhaorong to the Department of Culture and Health.?He could let Fang Zhaorong ask Section Chief Jia. County Head Zhou trusted Section Chief Jia very much. She told Jiang Shanshan about Meng Chao's suggestion.?Jiang Shanshan was full of resentment. She thought that since the county was prejudiced and could not understand her enthusiasm for the new dynasty, there was no need to ask for favors. Her self-esteem did not allow her to force herself. If you don't want a revolution, then you don't want a revolution. Why do you have to be like Ah Q? Fang Zhaorong was right. If there was peace, then there was peace. Why should he be restricted by revolutionary discipline? She grumbled again. He asked Bingying not to mention this matter to Fang Zhaorong again. She didn't want to use her husband's help. Seeing Luo Yuzhen come in, they chatted for a while before going home.
As soon as Jiang Shanshan lay on the bed, she thought about what Bing Ying had said again. A sense of humiliation rose in her heart. She even mocked herself for being infatuated with the new era. She felt empty, melancholic, and depressed. She was starting to hate this small town. She regretted following Fang Zhaorong to the small county town that was too shallow. She regretted not following Jin Yimin to leave this small town that was surrounded by ancient city walls. She didn't want to rely on her husband, and she found that apart from the coordination of their sexual life, their thoughts, emotions, and tastes were becoming more and more incompatible. She had to walk her own path, but where was it? She was at a loss. She was originally a woman who dared to rush forward. The more she ran into a nail, the more she rushed forward. More than ten years of living as a rich housewife had worn down her spirit. Asking for a job was just an impulse of social responsibility. It was only the encouragement of the times. It was not the desire of her entire life. Society did not give her the opportunity to advance. Therefore, she could only stay where she was. She didn't want to be depressed, but she had no choice. The mahjong table still attracted her with its traditional power. Her new life was still a distance away from her and had yet to enter her vision. The sunlight of the new era had yet to shine through her window. She could only linger on the border between the old and new eras. It was already late at night. She tossed and turned, finding it difficult to fall asleep.
The bell in the guest hall downstairs had already rung two o'clock, and Luo Yuzhen was still awake. She was worried about Jiang Shanshan, and when she saw Jiang Shanshan leave the house with a forced smile and a hidden resentment, she asked her daughter and realized that it was because of the teacher. She knew very well that this was the second blow. Not to mention Jiang Shanshan, even she might not be able to withstand it. She was worried that Jiang Shanshan would return to the mahjong table and waste her life, which would lead to a serious disaster. She had realized that the new society was a radical era. She had to change the political system of the old society and get rid of the bad traditional habits of the people. She racked her brains to make Jiang Shanshan keep up with the times, but she felt that she was at her wit's end. She realized that she knew too little about this new era. She didn't know how to take a new step forward for people like Jiang Shanshan, who had been born from the old society and yearned to breathe the air of the new society. Logically speaking, a leader like Deputy County Magistrate An should guide such a hesitant person to take this step. She couldn't understand why Deputy County Magistrate An was unwilling to think about Jiang Shanshan's true motives and didn't carefully examine his enthusiasm for the new dynasty. Was this prejudice, was it based on Deputy County Head An's personal life experience, or was it a product of the times? She had long been indifferent to politics and could not understand it, nor did she want to think about it deeply. She only had one kind wish, hoping that a cadre like Deputy County Magistrate An would take the initiative to open the door, so that Jiang Shanshan could embark on the path of life she yearned for, display her talents, and shine with the glory of life.
The sound of flowing water from the Qingxi River in front of the house used to sound so intense and beautiful, but tonight it made her even more irritable. She felt regretful and thought hard about it. For the sake of her good friend being able to walk out of the circle of women in the old era and get rid of the habits of young mistresses and rich ladies, she had insomnia. In her eyes, Jiang Shanshan was a pearl that had been drowned in the traditional sand.
Hua Shiliang, who was sleeping on the same pillow, also noticed his wife's insomnia and knew the reason for it. He had overheard the conversation between his wife and daughter. He was unable to console her. To be honest, he did not understand this stormy era even more than his wife. He could only sigh inwardly.
