Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

Tomorrow is December 20th, the day for the steel mill to conduct worker assessments. This is a significant day for the mill.

The same goes for Jiang Fan. He met Li Huaide again today.

After the neighborhood office commended him last time, the factory also praised him the next morning. Director Yang privately praised his bravery and fearlessness, and presented him with a calligraphy piece, hoping he would continue to carry forward his style.

Li Huaide also met with him privately, asking if he was injured and if he needed anything in life. If so, he could tell him and he would definitely take care of it. When Jiang Fan left, he had a few more tickets in his pocket.

"It's no wonder that Lao Li is a good leader. He really feeds the cake into your mouth. Lao Yang is not so good. Both his methods and vision are much worse." Jiang Fan thought so and knocked on the door of Li Huaide's office.

"Brother Jiang, you are here. Come and sit down. I will pour you some water." When Li Huaide saw that the person coming was Jiang Fan, the smile on his face became even brighter. A batch of grain was sent over from the grain station today. Although it was not too much, it was much more than that from other factories.

"Director Li, I can do it myself."

Jiang Fan added hot water to Li Huaide's cup, poured himself a cup, and sat on the chair.

After a few pleasantries, Li Huaide took out an envelope and placed it in front of Jiang Fan, motioning him to open it.

Jiang Fan did as he was told, then pushed it back, "Director Li, I don't accept gifts without merit. How can I accept this?"

There was nothing else in the envelope but food coupons, and it looked like there were quite a few of them.

"No merit? You've made a lot of contributions." Li Huaide laughed heartily and said mysteriously, "Do you know who you saved last time?"

"Yes, he is a comrade from the grain station."

"Brother Jiang, you only know one side of the story. Zhou Tu may be just an ordinary worker at the grain station, but his father-in-law is the de facto director. Director Xu is in charge of the grain station. All the unplanned grain from the factories in the city basically has to go through him. Now you understand, don't you?"

Jiang Fan is not Liu Haizhong. Li Huaide has spoken so openly. When you think about the food that was transported here today, how could he not understand?

"I understand, I understand very well." Jiang Fan reached out again, took the envelope back and put it in his pocket. This was what he deserved.

"In the end, it's you, Brother Li, who's amazing. If it were someone else, they wouldn't be able to get so much."

"Brother Jiang, it's all thanks to you for making a good start." Li Huaide laughed happily. He was in charge of logistics, and the food rations of the steel mill were mainly fixed. It was not a big deal normally, as there was enough food. He just had to find a way to get more meat and vegetables to improve the meals.

It’s just that the economy is not good this year, and the allocation shares of each factory have been reduced. They are left to find a way to make up for the gap themselves. This is the unplanned materials.

Li Huaide was able to maintain the supply of the steel mill through his own efforts and the help of his father-in-law. However, with the year-end approaching and the worker level assessment approaching, he also needed a certain amount of supplies that he had not planned for.

But the grain station is not well off either. In short, everywhere wants things. If I give it to you, should I give it to him? If I give it to both of them, what should I do?

Just when he was getting desperate, he heard the news that Jiang Fan had saved someone. He was thinking of giving him something as a reward. But he didn't expect that the person Jiang Fan saved was Zhou Tu from the grain station.

This old lady got into bed and made me laugh.

Things were much simpler afterwards. With Zhou Tu as a stepping stone and Li Huaide's added effort, the food was finally here. Years ago, Li Huaide was confident he could take the position of deputy factory director.

During the worker grade assessment on the 20th, two eighth-level workers emerged from the steel mill, a cause for celebration. However, none of the key figures in the courtyard were promoted, and their status remained unchanged.

Time passed and soon it was the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Jiang Fan took a day off to pick up Jiang Yu and take him home.

Outside Sijiucheng Medical College, many parents were waiting. It was a holiday, and students were taking things home from school. There were also some vendors selling candied haws and other snacks.

Of course, there were also quite a few street urchins hanging around here, all teenagers. Unemployed, they just wandered the streets. They were similar to the gangsters, the non-mainstream, and the spirited young men of later times.

Soon, a huge crowd of students came out of the school carrying large and small bags, and parents stood on tiptoe in the crowd looking for their children.

Thanks to his enhanced vision, Jiang Fan found Jiang Yu in no time. Jiang Yu was tall, and girls develop quickly. Plus, the Jiang family had good food, so at fourteen or fifteen, Jiang Yu was already over five feet seventy. She didn't stand out from the crowd, but she was certainly easy to spot.

Jiang Fan waved his hand at the crowd and shouted loudly, "Xiaoyu."

"Brother, wait for me on the right side of the door."

Jiang Yu saw Jiang Fan and shouted at him.

At the school gate, Jiang Fan placed Jiang Yu's blanket, books, and other belongings in the basket on the back of his bicycle. Turning around, he saw that she had already finished the candied haws she had just bought.

"Eat less sugar. It's bad for your teeth. You're a medical student, so you should know this."

"I only ate a little, and I brush my teeth every day, so it's okay." Jiang Yu said, grinning to let Jiang Fan see her big white teeth.

Jiang Fan turned his head and looked at her, asking her to be more careful next time. When he was a child, he ate too much candy and didn't brush his teeth, so his big teeth were rotten. Fortunately, he was still young at the time and the teeth could still grow out, but the toothache was really unbearable.

The brother and sister were talking while riding their bikes.

Suddenly, Jiang Yu said abruptly: "Second brother, what kind of person do you think I will marry in the future?"

Jiang Fan slammed on the brakes, and Jiang Yu, who was sitting in the back seat, bumped into his back.

"Hey, second brother, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, why did you suddenly think of this?" Jiang Fan's voice trembled slightly. He was a little scared. Could someone be trying to steal his cabbage? What a beast! Jiang Yu was only fourteen years old! She was still a child!

"My classmate's sister went back to her parents' home a few days ago. I heard that her life has not been good at all since she got married. Her mother-in-law bullies her, and her husband doesn't speak up for her, he just listens to his mother. And because she didn't give birth to a child, her mother-in-law keeps calling her a hen that doesn't lay eggs."

"Brother, our teacher said that having children is a matter for both men and women. Maybe the man is unable to have children." Jiang Yu was a little angry, as if he was standing up for the woman.

"Then I thought about myself, and I was afraid that I would meet someone like him in the future."

Jiang Yu's words made Jiang Fan breathe a sigh of relief. He said, "Don't worry, you won't encounter such a person. Don't forget, you have five older brothers to back you up. If someone bullies you in the future, it depends on whether he can withstand the fists of the five of us."

Chapter 154 Happy Life After Marriage

However, out of caution, Jiang Fan still asked Jiang Yu tactfully, asking her if there was anyone in school who was teasing her or deliberately showing off in front of her to attract her attention.

He hadn't paid much attention to it before. He felt that this wasn't decades later, a conservative time. It wasn't like his previous life, when he was in junior high school, where many people in his class were dating, either openly or covertly. Being young and naive, and influenced by some TV dramas, some people always thought this was what love was.

The two of them walked hand in hand. If they saw someone who looked like a teacher from a distance, they would immediately let go of their hands and pretend not to know them.

His homeroom teacher once said, "Don't think I don't know some people in this class. Holding hands, to put it nicely, is dating, but to put it bluntly, it's just being a hooligan and taking advantage. And those girls, too, let go of your hand the moment they see the teacher. Do you want men like that? They have no sense of responsibility!"

Because of what the head teacher said, Jiang Fan witnessed several girls testing whether the boys dared to hold hands when meeting the teacher.

Far away.

After hearing Jiang Fan's question, Jiang Yu recalled it, shook his head at him, and said, "Brother, it seems not. There are not many boys in our class, and those who are not even as tall as me, how dare they mess with me."

Just as long as no one bothers you, attracting the attention of the opposite sex by showing off is a common habit of almost all creatures. Just like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, a male peacock displays its beautiful tail feathers to attract females.

However, it was not easy for Jiang Fan to talk about this matter, so he had to let his mother Shen Yue do it.

……

After returning home, Jiang Fan told Shen Yue about this.

Shen Yue was also a little worried about this. She had also been to school. At that time, some people in school had feelings for each other, and boys would write love letters to girls. However, she was only sixteen or seventeen years old at that time, and Jiang Yu was only fourteen now, so she didn't pay attention to this.

Now that Jiang Fan had brought it up, she couldn't ignore it anymore. If Jiang Yuzhen was deceived at this age, her family would have no place to cry.

After dinner, Shen Yue called Jiang Yu into the house. She wanted to talk to Jiang Yu about this matter and the things that girls should pay attention to on their special days.

……

The He family's house was different from the dirty and messy one before. Yang Shufen cleaned the house on the first day of her marriage. She cleaned it thoroughly and put all the things in order. The whole environment looked brand new.

After finishing his meal, Sha Zhu sat in a chair, a half-plate of peanuts and a glass of white wine in front of him. His eyes were fixed on the figure busy in the kitchen, a happy smile on his face.

Only after he got married did he realize the beauty of life. It turned out that sex was so enjoyable, a thousand times better than traditional techniques. These days, Sha Zhu couldn't say he was partying every night, but it wasn't much different. Except for the times when Yang Shufen wasn't feeling well, the rest of the time, they were...

But the past two days have been tough. Sha Zhu is already feeling a bit overwhelmed. He used to have no self-control, but now he has to chop vegetables, cook, and steam buns in the cafeteria during the day, and then come home at night to do the same hard work. Even the strongest man can't stand it.

Yang Shufen also remembered what her mother said, that she must give birth to a son for the He family as soon as possible, so she has been working very hard.

Just after washing the dishes, she asked Yang Ergou to go back to the house, and she went straight to Sha Zhu.

"Brother Zhuzi, it's getting dark. Let's take a rest."

Sha Zhu shuddered uncontrollably. For the first time, he felt that Yang Shufen's voice was not so pleasant, and it even made him a little afraid.

He swallowed and said, "Rest, I need to rest. Well, go get me a bucket of hot water so I can soak my feet. I'm a little tired today."

Yang Shufen smiled brightly and said happily, "Okay, Brother Zhuzi."

Sha Zhu put his right hand on his waist and thought to himself: I have to go see a doctor tomorrow. How can I be so weak at such a young age?

Xu Damao had the same experience as Sha Zhu, but his situation was better. Unlike Sha Zhu, he did not have to go home every day. Instead, he went to the countryside to show movies, so he did not spend much time at home.

However, because of this, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e cherished his time at home even more and often worked overtime, sometimes for several hours.

Showing movies consumes physical energy, and working overtime consumes both energy and mental strength. Even though Xu Damao is in good health now, he still feels very tired.

"Ezi, I'm going to the bathroom. You go to sleep first."

"Come back soon."

Xu Damao closed the door and muttered, "I'll turn around."

Xu Damao arrived at Jiang Fan's door and hesitated for a long time, wondering whether to ask Jiang Fan for more medicinal wine. His father had taken 80% of the last portion he had reserved for Director Li, and the remaining portion had long been used up.

He wanted to knock on the door several times, but his pride as a man made him stop.

"Forget it, let's find a doctor and get some medicine tomorrow. The Lou family's affairs are enough to trouble Jiang Fan. It would be too unreasonable to ask him for something like this."

Xu Damao raised his hand and put it down again, then turned and walked towards home.

Under the moonlight, Xu Damao walked in the middle courtyard, his shadow cast on the ground, looking a little lonely.

Jiang Fan looked at Xu Damao's back through the window and couldn't help but say, "The wind is whistling and the Yishui River is cold. Damao will never come back once he leaves."

He was still a boy until his death in his previous life, so he didn't understand this matter, nor did he know whether men and women would really change their offensive and defensive positions before and after marriage.

The next day, I went to Xiongfengtang, a famous men's clinic in the city. (Made up)

The head doctor at Xiongfengtang is named Song Jie, and he studied under the male medicine expert Dr. Lu. Unlike Dr. Lu, who is a jack of all trades in male medicine, Song Jie specializes in one area: restoring male virility.

Because of the vast market and high demand, Song Jie's clinic is very popular. Every day, more than a dozen customers come to see a doctor and get medicine.

That morning, a furtive figure approached the Xiongfeng Pavilion. He looked left and right, then pulled out a headscarf from his pocket and wrapped it around his head, hiding his face. However, the wrinkles around his eyes still showed that he was quite old.

"Is Doctor Song here?"

"Yes, comrade, please follow me." The people in the clinic were not uncommon for someone like Sha Zhu to hide his identity, so they were not surprised. After all, the reputation of Xiong Feng Tang in the city was well-known. If you don't check your waist when you come to Xiong Feng Tang, what are you looking at?

Sha Zhu followed him into a room.

Doctor Song Jie was sitting on a chair with a long table in front of him.

"sit."

Sha Zhu sat down as he was told.

Song Jie added, "Take off your headscarf. Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. I need to observe your complexion carefully so that I can better diagnose you."

Sha Zhu quickly took off his headscarf and revealed his true face.

"What's your last name?"

"Xu, my name is Xu Damao."

Chapter 155: Seeing a Doctor

Sha Zhu gave Xu Damao's name without hesitation. He even planned to use this name if he did something bad in the future, so as to make Xu Damao famous.

"Here, hold out your hand."

Doctor Song placed his hand on Sha Zhu's wrist, feeling his pulse, and said, "You must answer the questions I ask next truthfully. Don't hide anything, understand?"

Sha Zhu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, listening intently to Dr. Song's questions, afraid to miss a single word. After answering basic information like his age, Dr. Song began his formal questioning.

"Married?"

"We've just been married for almost a month."

"Have you had any rest this month?"

"rare."

"Were you self-reliant before you got married?"

"Huh?" Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize what this meant, and immediately said seriously: "No, absolutely not."

"If you can treat it, then treat it. If you can't, get out!" Doctor Song threw his hands up, with a look of "I don't trust you" on his face. "I'm telling you, I've seen people like you many times. They're secretive and uncooperative. You know the saying, 'When you were young, you peed three feet high in the wind, but when you're old, your shoes get wet in the wind.'"

"No, doctor. I'll treat it, I'm sure I can." Sha Zhu immediately grabbed Doctor Song's hand and admitted his mistake, "I did..."

Then Sha Zhu blurted out when he learned the technology, how many times he learned it, and how often he learned it.

Sha Zhu said sincerely, "My fault, doctor. I will answer your questions carefully and will not hide anything. Please take a good look at me."

"No need to look at it, it's kidney deficiency, or deficiency of both yin and yang."
