It was only around one o'clock when he left Mr. Shen's side. He really didn't want to go back to the hospital.
There must be a lot of things going on over there these two days, and he didn't want to go there and be surrounded by those hospital leaders asking questions.
"Hey, why are you back?"
As soon as she got off the car and sent Tian Jun away, Li Qin happened to walk out of home pushing her bicycle.
"Sister, I'll be back if nothing happens. Why are you going?"
"I'm going to buy some noodles and rice. We're running out of money at home." Li Qin raised the grain book in her hand. "
"Then wait a minute, I'll go with you, and so will you. Just wait until Jiadong comes back and let him buy it."
"Shit, I don't know what he has been busy with these days. He leaves early and comes home late. I have nothing to do. I just push the car and do it slowly.
When she said this, Li Chu also realized that he had not seen his nephew for several days.
"I'll go in and change my clothes. Don't leave in a hurry." "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Accompanying his sister to the grain and oil store, looking at the standard noodles, Fuqiang noodles, whole bags of Northeast rice, and the imported fragrant rice that was said to be edible without having to eat vegetables, Li Chu suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have any.
I don’t know how long it’s been since I visited a grain and oil store.
Their family ate military rations, which could only be purchased at designated supply points. Earlier, it was him and Ding Qiunan who would buy the food if they had time.
Later, when we got private taxis, the driver would help us buy rice, flour, and oil. It was even Tian Jun who went to replace the gas tank at home.
For example, shelf-stable vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, radishes, green onions, etc. that need to be bought in advance for the winter, as well as lump coal and briquettes used to burn the boiler at home, are usually brought back by my sister and brother-in-law.
Rarely worry about this.
Thinking of this, he realized that he seemed to have been separated from this ordinary life for a long time.
"Xiao Chu, please move this rice noodles out." "Okay, sister."
Because he came with him, Li Qin bought 100 kilograms of flour, 50 kilograms of rice, and 10 kilograms of rapeseed oil at one time. When she came out, she forgot to take the oil drum and used the oil drum from the store.
Since they are all acquaintances, I can just send them over later.
Although you still need to use grain to buy grain now, the supply is no longer limited.
Unlike before, I had to come here once a month to buy food rations for my family and buy them according to the approved standards.
Now you can buy more at once, and then buy them again every few months
Just once.
After weighing several kilograms of melon seeds and peanuts in the store, the two siblings then slowly walked home, one pushing the cart and the other carrying the oil drum.
In the past two years, as supplies have become increasingly abundant, I no longer need to pay for many things.
In other words, there are more and more unplanned supplies.
No one asked for tickets when buying household necessities such as hot water bottles, thermos bottles, phlegm, etc., including buying bicycles, and buying non-staple foods.
Only large items such as TVs and fans, as well as cloth and cotton, still require tickets, but buying finished clothes does not require tickets.
Anyway, the past few years have been in a period of transition, because the top has never officially announced the cancellation, so the bottom seems a bit chaotic, but with tickets, after all, it is a little cheaper than without tickets.
"Xiao Chu, is there anything going on at home these past two days?
…
The two were walking back when Li Qin suddenly asked, "Ah? Why do you ask that, sister?"
"The night before yesterday, you and Qiu Nan stayed up most of the night. I didn't know what time the phone calls came from home. I thought you were going out on a mission again, but when I saw you were still there in the morning, you came back every afternoon yesterday and today.
, I wondered if something was wrong.
"Haha." Li Chu didn't expect his sister to have a lot on her mind. He said with a smile: "There is something wrong, but it's not at home, it's about work. It doesn't matter, it's pretty much taken care of." "Just take care of it.
If there are any obstacles that you can't overcome, remember to tell me and your brother-in-law. Although we are old and can't help you much at work, we can still take good care of the family and there will be no problem.
"Sister, don't say that, these
If it hadn't been for you and your brother-in-law to help us, our family would have been in such chaos.
"That's all your brother-in-law and I can do.
"Sister, just put the oil drum on the car seat and hold it, don't carry it, it's too heavy.
"OK"
Looking at his sister's half-grey hair, Li Chu suddenly felt a little sour in his heart.
Li Qin is already over 60 years old. Although she seems to be in good health, there is no way to avoid birth, aging, illness and death.
Although he has excellent medical skills, he does not have the ability to reverse life and death. As time goes by, his sister is getting older day by day. He can really only watch like this. The only thing he can do is to make her body better.
"Sister, you haven't been feeling well lately, are you?" "No, it's okay. Don't you know what you're doing to my body?"
“Sometimes there are subtle changes in my body that I really don’t understand, such as feeling tired easily, or I suddenly feel like I’m feeling more sleepy recently.
"No, I feel nothing has changed." Li Qin thought for a while and shook her head.
"Where is my brother-in-law?"
"Your brother-in-law, ha, what changes can he make? He sleeps like a pig every night, but there is a little change. After taking the medicine you prescribed for him, he seems to have smoked less during this period.
I remember that I used to have two packs of cigarettes a day, but when I was cleaning the house this morning, I found that he still had five packs of cigarettes that he opened last week, and he seemed to have less coughing and less phlegm when he went to bed at night.
.
"As long as there are changes, I'm just going to see if there are any effects in the next two days.
The medicine prescribed to Wang Ziwen was a recipe that Li Chu, a master of the Eighth Edition of Zhen'er Ba Jing, thought up himself. It has the functions of quitting smoking, relieving coughs, and curing diseases.
If it really works, it will be a major breakthrough for him in the use of Chinese herbal medicine.
No matter how awesome he was in the past, the recipes he used were still inseparable from the ancients. They were nothing more than additions and subtractions based on those past recipes.
If this recipe is really successful, it can be regarded as his contribution to the cause of smoking cessation.
I just don’t know if the tobacco company in the future, a small and micro enterprise that generates trillions in profits and taxes every year, will hate him.
No matter what, they printed it on the box themselves that smoking is harmful to health, although there is no such notice on the current cigarette boxes.
The two siblings, one pushing the cart and the other supporting him, walked through the alley, stopping from time to time to chat with passing acquaintances.
Li Chu was also surprised to find that the cross talk who was talking about was real, and that the yellow-faced one was really driving into the alley.
Should I say that their service is enthusiastic or that they are stupid? This driver is really brave in such a narrow alley.
