Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 526: Second sister has acute nephritis, the first batch of college entrance examination results are released at the winter solstice

At noon, there were three tables of people sitting at Fangyan's house.

There was nothing we could do as there were too many people and the two large round tables were full.

I also got a coffee table for the children to use as a dining table.

There were a total of twenty-six people, adults and children.

The sixth child, Fang Xia, who was still in his cradle, did not sit at the table.

The others still have to take up space, which is simply not enough.

This is the weekend with the most family members present, except for when Fangyan and his family got married.

Even the two guards from Lao Zhang and Lao Gu were invited to the table. Everyone is equal. It would be inappropriate to let others see that.

Although there were many people, the dishes cooked in dialect were not ambiguous at all.

The food is absolutely of premium quality. Even the little ones who are usually picky eaters eat their meals seriously.

The two old men who were eating Fangyan's cooking for the first time, as well as the two security guards, all praised the food cooked by Fangyan.

The old men said that it tasted exactly like their hometown.

The Chongqing Tuotuo fish cooked in the local dialect and the twice-cooked pork with salted vegetables from eastern Sichuan reminded Mr. Zhang of the flavors he had at his grandfather's house when he was a child.

I feel like after eating this meal today, my head doesn’t hurt anymore.

Lao Gu was in a similar state. The Hunan cuisine cooked in dialect also reminded him of his childhood.

Mr. Xie also praised the dialect technique for being so authentic, as if it was something that had been specially learned.

The dialect was not explained too much, he just said that he was in Sichuan when he was sent to work in the countryside.

The rest is up to them to figure out.

After the meal, Lao Gu and Lao Zhang said goodbye with their guards.

Mr. Xie was not in a hurry to leave, mainly because the old man usually lived a lonely life.

I originally came here to walk around, but found it was quite lively this weekend and quite nice.

Especially since not only the granddaughter and great-granddaughter were there, but also other young children.

This made Mr. Xie reluctant to leave.

In the past, the little ones at my place would run away after eating, but now at Fangyan’s house, the children are running around and making a lot of noise, and no one talks about going home.

After Fangyan finished his meal, he watched Sophia practice Xingyiquan in the yard.

Sophia is very talented in this area, and she has practiced the basic skills taught to her in dialect quite well.

When I practice on my own, I still don't get lazy and keep practicing every day.

This can all be seen from the dialect.

After slightly adjusting some of Sophia's less-than-standard parts, the basic skills are already quite good.

Zhao Zhengyi, who practices with Fangyan every day, feels that his senior sister's kung fu is much better than his.

Of course, the physical and age differences between the two are also objective.

After getting Fangyan's affirmation, Sophia was very happy and asked Fangyan about the kung fu she needed to practice next.

Fangyan then taught her a few moves, and after practicing several times in front of Sofia, Sofia was able to punch with the correct posture and strength.

This is a stark contrast to Zhao Zhengyi, who needs to correct his dialect every day when practicing boxing.

Although Sophia has long been known to be very talented in this area, Fang Yan couldn't help but sigh when compared to his little apprentice. It turned out that hard work is nothing compared to talent.

After finishing the teaching here, Fangyan asked Sophia about her studies in traditional Chinese medicine.

She is still studying hard to memorize ancient books, but her progress is not as good as her Xingyiquan.

Fangyan was not surprised to hear the news because he had known about it for a long time.

The fingers on a pair of hands are of different lengths, so Fangyan certainly couldn't expect Sophia to be as strong as himself.

Even if Fang Yan saw that Sophia's Xingyiquan was very good, he would not ask Zhao Zhengyi and Anton to be as good as her.

After the instruction, it was time for Fangyan to speak his own language.

He asked Sofia if she had any connections and could get some bear bile, tiger bones or the like from the Soviet Union.

Sophia said that their family has relatives in the Far East, but it is not easy to contact them. After all, their whole family has come here now, and the relationship between the two sides is not very good, and is in a state of continuous deterioration and confrontation.

The Far Eastern Corps in the eastern region of the Soviet Union had three army groups and one infantry army.

The Central Asian Military District in the western region has 8 motorized infantry divisions and one tank division.

In the border areas, there are 45 divisions with a total of 67.5 troops.

Not willing to be outdone, this side also fought back. In the three northern regions, the capital had eight armies and four tank divisions, and the troops in Shenyang, Lanzhou, and XJ were also on standby.

In addition, there are three armies in Wuhan as reserve support forces. Almost all the army’s reserve artillery divisions and anti-aircraft artillery divisions are concentrated in the above-mentioned places.

In addition, there are independent field infantry divisions distributed throughout the country, ready at any time.

However, although the relationship between the top leaders of both sides was tense, exchanges between the people were not completely interrupted.

For example, some private trade in border areas still exists within a certain range, and some local residents near the border still conduct small-scale commodity exchanges. For example, residents here will exchange some agricultural products and handicrafts for some daily necessities and light industrial products there.

In addition, exchanges of international students also exist. Although official exchanges of international students have been basically interrupted, there are still students who have studied abroad in the Soviet Union who continue to live and study.

There are also some experts and scholars in the field of academic research who came from the Soviet Union at that time, such as Bachukayev. He also lives a very comfortable life. His whole family is here, and he himself holds an important position in the research institute.

This afternoon, the old men from the three troops were quite nice to Sofia when they heard that her father, Bachukayev, was making rocket engines for the country.

When they heard that Fangyan had accepted two young Russians as his apprentices under the arrangement of the foreign affairs department, the three old men looked at Fangyan as if he were a war hero.

He is completely carrying out the mission of the motherland!
But it was obvious that Fangyan was lucky and the task was quite easy to complete.

And all parties are quite satisfied.

For example, Sophia and Anton, both of them have learned the importance of respecting teachers very well, and they are both very smart.

Anton is good at traditional Chinese medicine, and Sophia is good at martial arts.

The progress is also visible. Although Anton didn't come today, he has already learned to compose a prescription by himself. He drank it and went to sleep, with no intention of letting the master take a look at it.

Look, what a good apprentice!

I can't bear to come here to trouble Master.

But Master has to trouble them now.

After Fangyan stated his requirements, Sophia said that she could only try, but she couldn't guarantee that she could get these things. After all, even if she got them, she still had to cross the border, which was not easy.

After hearing Sophia say this, Fangyan did not force it.

If it really doesn't work here, Le Miao in Hong Kong will send a telegram on New Year's Day and I can ask her myself.

If all else fails, just tell Lao Zhou directly. He is doing business in Southeast Asia anyway.

Although the major may not be suitable, but I guess there will still be some connections.

If you can't get bear bile and tiger bones from Siberia, bear bile and tiger bones from Southeast Asia will do.

There are also Asian rhinoceros horns. Fangyan guessed that the overseas Chinese businessmen probably have collections of them at home.

There is no ban in China yet, but the trade of Asian rhino horns was not banned until 1993.

At this time, many things that can be collected are relatively cheap, but they will become harder to buy and more valuable later on.

Dialects are also something you should prepare for if you have some spare money.

After finishing the work here, Fangyan and his father went to the study and called Beihang University using the home phone.

Mainly asking about the telegram.

My second sister hasn't replied yet, but my father's friend in Gansu has already replied.

It was said that my second sister developed facial swelling the next day after a collective labor. The hospital diagnosed it as acute nephritis and she is currently receiving treatment.

When the father heard that his second daughter was sick, he was still a little worried.

Ask Fangyan, what exactly is this disease?
Fangyan explained to his father:

Acute nephritis belongs to the category of Yang Water in edema disease in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and is more common in adolescents clinically.

In Western medicine, acute nephritis is the abbreviation of acute glomerulonephritis.

The common clinical symptoms are fever, aversion to wind and small amount of urination.

The swelling starts from the eyes, then spreads to the face and finally all over the body.

Body aches and pains.

As long as you get timely treatment, there shouldn't be any major problems.

What needs to be noted about this disease is that although it is an edema disease, diuretics cannot be used. Diuretics can be used for cardiogenic and hepatic edema, but this disease is a problem with the kidneys, and the use of diuretics will increase the burden on the kidneys.

Fangyan once saw a patient with nephritis. Wuling San was used for treatment but it was ineffective. Then Bazheng San was used instead but it still had no effect. Finally, Liuwei Dihuang Tang, which is used to treat chronic nephritis, was used, but it made the condition worse.

The hospital where my second sister works should be one of the better hospitals in Gansu.

I don't think the dialect would cause such a low-level problem.

However, after discussing it with my parents, I decided to send a telegram to remind our friends there and ask them to help keep an eye on the hospital.

So in the afternoon, Fangyan ran to the post office again and sent the telegram.

During this period, he also included a special prescription for treating acute nephritis.

Ephedra 6g, cicada shell 6g, duckweed 6g, stone reed 10g, smilax glabra 10g, forsythia 10g, dandelion 30g, motherwort 20g, houttuynia 20g. If the patient has dizziness and headache, remove ephedra and add almond and wild chrysanthemum. If proteinuria or hematuria occurs, add Imperata root. If the complexion is pale, add Astragalus. Decoction in water.

It didn't cost much to get my dad's information. The words added after the dialect, including punctuation, cost 0.03 yuan per word plus 0.005 yuan for translation electricity, so it cost three yuan and seventy-eight cents, which is more expensive than ordinary people's medical treatment.

But she is the second sister after all, and for her health, Fangyan is still willing to spend the money.

Time flies, and several days pass in the blink of an eye.

It was December 1977, 12, which was the Winter Solstice. Also, on TV, the grading and statistics of the college entrance examination results in Shanghai and Jiangxi had been completed and were basically coming to an end.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately touched the nerves of college entrance examination candidates across the country.
