After New Year's Day in 1987, the weather was getting colder. Zhu Weimin began to visit the families of the rural veterans. Today, he visited Zhao Hongzhu's family in Zhao Zhuang Natural Village of Majiaxu Brigade. Someone guided him to the Zhao family. There were three broken and short tile-roofed houses. There was a small house on the west side that was a pigsty connected to the kitchen. The neighbor's aunt told him, Hongzhu's mother was bedridden all year round. He and his father were fertilizing the wheat fields. Zhu Weimin followed the direction of the aunt and found Zhao Hongzhu. "Comrade Zhao Hongzhu, I am Zhu Weimin, the head of the township armed forces.”
"Hello, Minister Zhu." Zhao Hongzhu was a firefighter of the armed police. He was 24 years old and a party member. He had served in the army for six years and was about 178 centimeters tall. He had made second-class and third-class meritorious deeds once. He was well-proportioned and had slightly dark skin. He was a very healthy young man.
Old Zhao saw that the township leader had come and asked his son to go back first. Zhu Weimin smiled and said,"Uncle, I'm a farmer too. Let's work together.”As they worked and talked, Zhu Weimin asked Zhao Hongzhu what he thought. Zhao Hongzhu smiled bitterly,"Mother is sick and our family is in trouble. We don't have time to think about anything else. We just happen to have the retirement settlement fee.”
When Zhu Weimin asked his mother what was wrong with her, Zhao Hongzhu said,""Even the doctors can't explain it. It's been five years.”
Zhu Weimin asked what the symptoms were, and Old Man Zhao continued,""Her mother is a person who worries for nothing. Since the day Zicheng Dazhu joined the army, she has been nagging at her son every day for not eating well, being bullied, and so on. Five years ago, she started to have gas coming out of her throat all day, and then it became more and more serious. Later on, she started to faint, and finally, she spent most of her time in bed.”
"Didn't you take her to the hospital?”
" See," Old Man Zhao said." I've been to the village, the county, and the North Region many times. The medicine I took piled up like a mountain, but it was useless. My family's situation was also good, but ever since her mother fell ill…Sigh!”
"First Father, I also study medicine. Let's go home and give it a try?”Zhu Weimin said subtly.
Zhao Hongzhu and his father didn't expect this pale-faced scholar to treat them, but they couldn't just leave without giving the village leader face.
Zhu Weimin put down his backpack, washed his hands, and came to Mother Zhao's bed to take the patient's pulse repeatedly. He used the flashlight to look at the patient's eyes, tongue, throat, and face. Then, she looked at the medicine that Mrs. Zhao was taking seriously and said to the father and son of the Zhao family,"It wasn't a serious illness. It was delayed for too long. She was only suffering from neurosis. In addition, she missed her son and suffered from depression. The fainting was caused by her weak body.”Hearing Minister Zhu's words, Old Man Zhao suddenly shouted,""What you said is similar to what the doctor in the Northern Region said. He said that only those who are unconscious can be transferred over.”
"Don't worry, I'll slowly cure him.”Zhu Weimin said softly.
"Hongzhu." Zhu Weimin took out a medicine bottle from his bag and poured out a snow-white pill."This is medicine for the body. Take it and give it to the old man. Don't let anyone come in and disturb her. I want to use qigong to help her administer medicine.”
Zhu Weimin did not care about the dirty and smelly bed. He sat cross-legged behind Mother Zhao and placed his palms on her back for twenty minutes. Then, he began to use his left and right index fingers to quickly tap on both sides of Mother Zhao's back from the cervical vertebra. Finally, he inserted 21 silver needles into Zusanli, Dubi, Chongyang, Shenque, Zhongwan, Weishu, Shenting, Baihui, Taiyang, Shenshu, and other parts of Mother Zhao's body. After he was done, his back was drenched in sweat. He said softly,"Hold on for another 20 minutes.”However, Zhao Hongzhu, who was a former armed police officer, was standing with his eyes closed. He knew that Minister Zhu was regulating his breathing.
About 20 minutes later, Zhu Weimin pulled out the silver needle and said,""Put her flat. She'll wake up in a while." He called Old Zhao in and said," You have to boil more water. After the patient wakes up, let her take a thorough bath. Throw away everything on her bed and change her clothes from inside to outside. If there's nothing clean at home, Xiao Zhao will go to the city to buy it immediately. At the same time, buy some Chinese medicine according to my prescription. Every day, he would put a packet of these medicines into a large pot and boil it for another thirty minutes. Then, he would pour all the medicine into a large water tank. He would mix it with cold water to adjust the temperature to about forty degrees. He would let the patient sit in it and soak it for a little longer. It's best to put a stove next to it, but be careful. Soaking once a day in the morning and once in the evening for 15 consecutive days.”Zhu Weimin took out three hundred yuan from his pocket and said,""I'll lend it to you for emergency. Hurry up and enter the city.”Zhao Hongzhu refused to accept it, saying that his 3,000 yuan settlement fee was enough.
Zhu Weimin no longer insisted on taking back the money. He asked Father Zhao,"Do you have any daughters or sisters? Women should be more careful with these things."
"Yes, yes, there are two! Zhu Zi, go and come back quickly. Ask your elder sister to come quickly. Ask your second sister to accompany you. Ask your elder brother-in-law to drive the tractor to the city.”
"Oh…after Auntie recovers, don't spread the word. Unless it's a difficult illness that I have no choice but to treat, I won't treat anyone. Once you open it up, people won't come to the hospital and come to me instead. That will be big trouble and will seriously affect my work. Therefore, you must keep it a secret. Only you and your father know about it. Do you know?" The Zhao father and son nodded gratefully.
"Also, I know that you are my great benefactor.”
"Mom…"
" Child's mother…"
The disheveled Mother Zhao walked out of the room, and the Zhao father and son danced happily. Zhu Weimin quickly said,"Auntie, you should go back to sleep. You are now saved by my medicine." Eldest Father quickly boiled the water to let Aunt bathe as soon as possible. Hongzhu's medicine would be boiled after buying it and soaked at night. In addition, he would gradually increase her nutrition. I'll come back tomorrow to give auntie acupuncture again.
…
The next afternoon, Zhu Weimin came to the Zhao family again. The father and son of the Zhao family sent their two daughters and son-in-law home as promised, leaving only three mothers in the Zhao family. Today, Mother Zhao was dressed in clean clothes. Although her face was pale, one could still see the charm of the past. Since Zhu Weimin still had something to do, the two of them exchanged a few polite words and began the acupuncture session. While waiting for the needle to be inserted, he asked Mother Zhao about all aspects of her condition. At this point, Zhu Weimin was sure that she could be cured.
Before Zhu Weimin left, he told Zhao Hongzhu,"You've made a second-class contribution. According to the national policy, you can go to the county placement office to ask for a job assignment. The day after tomorrow is Friday. I'm working at the county committee. Come to my place in the afternoon. I'll take you to the placement office. Oh, the county committee is on the third floor of the Civil Affairs Bureau building. I'm in Room 306.”
Just as he walked out of the door, Zhu Weimin turned around and said to Auntie Zhao,"Try to stay happy and don't take it seriously. Your illness depends on yourself to adjust your mentality. Don't be angry.”
The next afternoon, Zhu Weimin brought Zhao Hongzhu to the relocation office. As Zhu Weimin had requested the Minister of the Ministry of Human and Armed Forces, Sun Jiacai, to come forward, everything went smoothly today. Zhao Hongzhu was arranged to stay at the Pingchao Town Police Station. Pingchao Town was on Provincial Road 211, less than 3 kilometers away from Shizhuang. There was a canal road to the north of the town that led directly to the Majiaxu Brigade. Zhao Hongzhu understood that this was a favor from Minister Zhu.
After settling Zhao Hongzhu, Zhu Weimin started to work for the other veterans.
