Chapter 98 The pursuit of beauty
Wei Junjie greeted Gu Zhiqiang and Qi Bin and agreed to take the first bus the next morning to go to Yangjiang County with them and then transfer to a ox cart to the Hongqi Brigade.
The reason they had to wait until the day after tomorrow was because Zhang Laosi still needed an infusion for another day. Even though Qi Bin had found someone he knew, this was the attending physician's last resort.
Because the specific symptoms are already clear, the doctor prescribed the right medicine. Zhang Laosi's body mainly needs long-term care.
It's just an infusion. You can also take the formula back to the county hospital, so you can spend less money.
However, I still need to continue the infusion for one more day, just to be on the safe side.
After coming out of the doctor's office, Gu Zhiqiang was in a very cheerful mood.
He has money in his hands now. Even if he has to hand over most of it when he goes back, there will be some left so that he can buy his daughter a skirt and a pair of leather shoes.
I heard that young girls in big cities all dress like this. As for my son.
They are just two little brats. Do they need to be specially bought new clothes?
If this matter is implemented, the brigade and he will continue to have money coming in, and this is the happiest thing.
"Uncle San, are you relieved now?" Qi Bin also smiled.
I really don't know when he can change his words. Actually, he doesn't want to call him uncle, second uncle, or third uncle. Wouldn't it be better to just call him dad?
Gu Zhiqiang turned around and looked at Qi Bin with particular favor: "If this thing succeeds, not only me, but also the people in our team will have more good opportunities."
In fact, Gu Zhiqiang was still very emotional. Among all the production teams under Yongfeng Commune, theirs was considered the worst.
Farming is just enough to make a living. Many elderly people may never have left the mountains or seen the outside world in their entire lives. It’s heartbreaking to think about it.
But in reality, farming cannot make them rich. Even in good years, they cannot afford three meals a day.
When disaster strikes, the elderly and children in the family have to eat porridge, and only the strong laborers working in the fields can eat a few bites of dry food.
Two meals a day, no more than 60% full.
Now, if he can provide everyone with an extra income, it will also bring more hope to everyone's life.
Afterwards, Gu Zhiqiang went to find Zhang Laosi, who also needed someone to take care of him after finishing the infusion, and Qi Bin happened to have some personal matters to attend to.
So the two of them separated and agreed to meet directly at the guesthouse later and then go out for dinner together.
When Gu Zhiqiang went to find Zhang Laosi, Qi Bin turned and went in another direction. In fact, he didn't know where to find him.
After all, Qi Bin had been working outside for many years and was familiar with all kinds of experiences, so he went directly to the nurse's station to ask.
"Comrade, could you please tell me which office Dr. Wei Junjie is in?"
The dissatisfied nurse pointed Qi Bin in the direction, "Doctor Wei is in the office right now, over there."
That’s right, Qi Bin knew Wei Junjie. Although the two were not very familiar with each other before, they often met at his aunt’s house during the Chinese New Year and other holidays.
It's just that we rarely talk alone.
Qi Bin's uncle-in-law is a surgeon in a large hospital in the capital. In the past, his family could be classified as a medical family. Most of the students studied medicine and all of them had outstanding medical skills.
Wei Junjie is the cousin of Qi Bin's uncle-in-law Wei Zhongliang, so the two knew each other when they met at Fang Yilan's house during the Chinese New Year.
Qi Bin's job is quite special, so his intelligence network is very powerful. He knows that Wei Junjie's wife seems to have some problems and is getting a divorce. He was a little surprised to see someone here suddenly, because this involves the privacy of his elders and he doesn't want Uncle Gu to know for the time being.
The so-called big families and noble families only look better on the outside, but in fact, they are no less corrupt than those of ordinary people's homes.
It is even possible that conflicts over interests may make people's hearts even more vicious.
Qi Bin knocked on the door outside Wei Junjie's office and went in after receiving a response from the other party.
"Uncle Wei."
“Sit down,” Wei Junjie nodded with a smile, “I knew you would come to see me.”
After bowing to the elder, Qi Bin sat down opposite Wei Junjie's desk, "Uncle Wei, why are you here all of a sudden?"
“It’s just a normal job transfer.”
Wei Junjie came here on a whim. He originally wanted to go out and had not decided where to go.
As it turned out, my cousin's wife had something to ask for, and since my uncle and aunt's family had taken good care of him over the years, Wei Junjie agreed to transfer here.
There was no need to let Qi Bin know this. Anyway, he had promised his sister-in-law that he would take better care of the boy from the Qi family within his ability.
Qi Bin knew that it couldn't be just like that, but he couldn't tell anything from Wei Junjie's face, so he just smiled and said, "Uncle Wei, you will go with us to the Red Flag Brigade in the next few days. The conditions there are not very good, so you may suffer."
"Come on, there's not much difference in age between us, you don't have to use honorifics." Wei Junjie finally smiled: "There's no such thing as good or bad conditions. My old man often told me to go to a poor area to gain experience."
Qi Bin was definitely better than Gu Zhiqiang in terms of social skills, so he asked directly: "Uncle Wei, the reason why we asked you to follow us this time was because you were the one who facilitated this matter?"
When Wei Junjie smiled, he knew that his sister-in-law's eldest nephew was no ordinary person. He neither accepted it nor denied it.
I naturally changed the subject: "I also want to go to the mountains and see different scenery."
Qi Bin didn't ask any more questions. He just appreciated it. Anyway, he would help the Wei family if anything happened in the future.
After all, he is still in the hospital, and Wei Junjie didn't want others to think that he was partial, so he didn't invite his nephew to have dinner or something.
Then Qi Bin did not continue to ask other questions. Uncle Wei was probably still busy, so he just reminded him what to bring when going to the countryside, then stood up and said goodbye.
On the other side, after Zhang Laosi finished the infusion, Gu Zhiqiang took him back to the guesthouse and let him lie down to rest. Then he happened to meet Qi Bin coming back.
So Gu Zhiqiang happily took Qi Bin out, saying that he wanted to buy a gift for his precious daughter.
As for the pretty skirt and little leather shoes, don't even think about it, he doesn't have the tickets.
Qi Bin had the tickets in his hand, but he didn't want to say it. He had prepared these things to please his future daughter-in-law.
As for the share for my father-in-law, ahem, it’s not appropriate to give these things to my father-in-law.
Finally, Qi Bin watched Gu Zhiqiang buy things like snow cream, hair ties and hair clips that didn’t require tickets, and he bought two sets for his wife and daughter.
In fact, Qi Bin really wanted to remind her, doesn’t grandma need it?
This woman can still maintain her pursuit of beauty even when she is old.
Forget it, in order not to spoil Uncle San’s fun, Qi Bin deliberately fell behind and bought another box of vanishing cream.
