"Look at your mother. I'll count one, two, three, and we'll shout eggplant together."
"One, two, three, eggplant!"
As the flash flashed, four big smiling faces were frozen in the camera again.
After putting down the three children, Li Chu walked over and took the camera from his wife's hand.
"You three hug your mother, and I will take a picture of you."
As the last photo of the family, including seven dogs, was taken, the film in the camera finally came to an end.
"Here, Wenxuan, take it to Lao Cai at the entrance of the alley tomorrow and have him develop the photos."
"I know, Dad."
"Okay, if you don't want to play cards, you can all go back to the house and sleep."
…
After arriving at the headquarters on Monday morning, Li Chu found out where the meeting was. It was actually to inform him that the drug trials for the foreigners could begin.
"Leader, you mean to send me a team to assist me?"
"Actually, it's not really a team. A translator and a few assistants are here to help you handle things here. As for your other normal work, they won't interfere."
Hearing this, Li Chu nodded, that's okay. If a group of people followed him every day, it would be annoying to death.
According to his level, in fact, he should have at least one assistant. He just found it troublesome, so he didn't agree at all. Now Tian Jun handles some trivial matters for him, or he does it himself.
"Leader, have all the temporary locations for foreign pharmaceutical companies been set up?"
"It's ready. The equipment they shipped over themselves has started to be debugged. In their words, it can be started at any time.
Another purpose of calling you here today is to confirm with you again that when you are taking medicine, are there any chances that those people who are following you to study will be taken away?"
When the leader asked such a serious question, Li Chu did not open his mouth, but thought for a while before saying: "As long as I don't teach you step by step, the possibility of them learning is zero.
For those foreigners, even if I want to teach them step by step, the first thing is that they need to know Chinese. And what I mean by knowing Chinese here is not just listening, speaking and writing, but understanding the meaning behind these words.
Just like in ancient times, people got an article that they had never read before. If they want to understand the meaning of this article, they not only need to know the words, but the most important thing is to be able to segment sentences. If you connect sentences
If you can’t break it off, then the meaning you understand may be completely different from what the original author wanted to express.”
As soon as he explained it like this, the leader understood it.
"Comrade Xiao Li, no matter what, when you test medicine on those foreigners, you must be careful and beware of any Chinese experts among them. Especially those from the country of Xiaoli."
"Yes, leader!"
"The other thing is, one of the herbs in your prescription is century-old wild ginseng, right?"
"That's right."
"I don't know where those foreigners got them from this time. It seems that there are quite a few, um..."
"Boss, I know that it is normal for medicinal materials to be lost."
Seeing that Li Chu understood what he meant quickly, the leader smiled happily. It was easy to talk to smart people.
"Comrade Xiao Li, please go to Director Liu later. The translators and assistants assigned to you are all with him. Please explain your own working time arrangements to the assistants clearly and let them coordinate their time.
, you can’t delay other work just because of things over there.”
"I know the leader, don't worry."
"Yes." The leader nodded and suddenly asked, "How is the old chief's health lately?"
?
Li Chu was stunned for a moment when the leader asked, and then he realized that the leader was asking about the old man in the nursing home.
This leader had been with the old man for a long time and was concerned about his health, which was normal.
"The old chief's physical condition is not bad, and he can still have a drink occasionally."
"That's good, that's good. The old chief is old and must be taken good care of."
"I go there at least once a week."
"Okay, Comrade Xiao Li, work hard. We see everything you do. Just like on the southwest front, the country will not treat you badly."
"Leader, as a soldier, in that situation, I believe that no matter who it is, the choice I make will be the same. Those are our responsibilities."
The leader smiled and shook his head: "That's true, but your duty is not on the battlefield. You don't know. When you applied to join the rescue team, after feedback from the frontline headquarters, my office
My phone almost went off the hook.
Heads at all levels scolded me, saying that I sent you to the southwest as a logistics observer without even understanding your job responsibilities. It was a very difficult time for me."
"Boss, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect that I would cause you so much trouble because of my willfulness."
To be honest, Li Chu felt a little guilty. The boss was kind enough to send him there so that he could have more qualifications and gain weight for promotion to a full-time job later.
But I didn't expect to encounter something like that.
If he remembered correctly, the war in Southwest China lasted for a total of ten years, and the highest-ranking Huaxia sacrifice seemed to be a regiment-level commander.
Although he almost lost his life in the southwest, Li Chu did not regret it at all, because with his joining, some things had changed.
The leader waved his hand: "It was indeed a bit troublesome at the time, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise later on!"
Yes, it was a blessing in disguise. He was able to enjoy the benefits of his regular job so easily this time without any resistance. One was because of Mr. Shen, and the other was not because he dared to work hard.
The current chiefs above all came from the battlefields of the Anti-Japanese War and Liberation. My initiative to ask for military leave left a deep impression on them.
However, it really hurts when the bullet hits the body!
"Comrade Xiao Li, I heard that you took your son as your apprentice and taught him medical skills, right?"
"Ah" Li Chu was confused by the leader's way of talking, banging his head here and there.
"Oh, that's true. He is studying theory now, but this time he will test medicine for foreigners, and I plan to bring him with me."
"Well, this is a good idea. It can add more experience to the children."
"Yeah, I think so too."
"After your child graduates, let him join the army."
Li Chu, who had just picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water, almost spit out the tea in his mouth.
