Chapter 285 The Couple Each Gained Something
It is obvious that although the Russian system has become increasingly bureaucratic, the situation is not so serious at this time.

Comrade Sergeyev finally signed the import plan, crossing out a few machines that he thought were unnecessary, which was his last act of stubbornness.

"Petrovich, no more additions can be made. The list of imported technological products cannot be expanded." Sergeyev kept repeating as he handed the plan to Petrovich.

Petrovich shrugged. "Mr. Davari, you have to tell the Supreme Academy of Sciences about this. But I think it's impossible for us to do everything well. It's worth being happy that someone can share the responsibility and pressure with us."

Sergeyev shook his head. "Davri, you don't understand them. They will definitely try their best to open up a gap and sell more and more things to us."

The discussion between the two did not produce any results. To some extent, the general trend was irreversible, at least the general trend of the southern comrades, they could not change it. If they could influence their superiors a little bit and change the problems on their side, they would be extremely lucky.

Mr. Senna of Gallic Rooster has the same feeling.

When signing the import license documents, Mr. Senna complained to his colleague very dissatisfiedly: "Le Goff, they are selling us more and more things. This is really bad news."

Senna would never have imagined that this situation would not change in the next few decades, but would instead accelerate.

Le Goff shrugged. "That's not the worst. The worst is that they are still unwilling to buy our anti-tank missiles given their backward technology. I can't imagine how bad our missiles are. Damn, they are used to fight tanks."

For the Gauls, anti-tank is extremely important, such as the Sandezi more than ten years ago, and the Russians more than ten years later.

Gao Zhendong didn't know about the troubles of the Russians and the Gallic Roosters. He was taking advantage of the Sunday to take Lou Xiao'e to visit Panjiayuan.

After they got married, Gao Zhendong had more time to help Lou Xiaoe with her homework, unlike before they got married when he only had one day, Sundays, to tutor her.

So I can use Sundays to do something else, such as taking my wife shopping.

After getting married, I have been busy with various things and have never taken Lou Xiao'e shopping seriously. We just went shopping without thinking about anything and for no reason.

When Lou Xiao'e heard Gao Zhendong's suggestion, she jumped for joy and then told him where she wanted to go - Panjiayuan.

For Lou Xiao'e, the first place they went shopping after they confirmed their relationship was Panjiayuan, so she also wanted to go there for the first serious shopping trip after getting married. This brought a different kind of sweetness to her.

Gao Zhendong naturally followed her. After they had breakfast, they rode their bikes to their destination.

At the end of April, the weather has started to warm up, and green has reappeared on the earth. Although there may not be birds singing and flowers blooming everywhere, the spring atmosphere is basically there.

The rays of sunlight mixed with the chill of the spring morning shone on them, making people feel much more cheerful than in winter. In addition, with their loved ones by their side, everything went smoothly, so the two felt very comfortable and laughed all the way.

Occasionally, there would be old men and women doing morning exercises. When they looked at the couple laughing and talking happily, they would all have kind faces and be infected with their smiles.

When they arrived at Panjiayuan, Lou Xiao'e's goal was different from before. She followed Gao Zhendong to look for books. Gao Zhendong was quite surprised: "Aren't you going to look at those little things today?"

Lou Xiao'e narrowed her eyes and smiled, "I think these books are quite interesting. Don't worry, I won't compete with you for them. If you like any of them, I will definitely not take them away. Haha."

Maybe he was a little too addicted to studying? Gao Zhendong thought, but he didn't dare to say that. He couldn't do anything that would cause trouble for himself.

Gao Zhendong set his eyes on several copies of the Yongle Encyclopedia. He didn't know whether they were real or not, but they looked like they were real.

This is a good thing. It was written during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. It basically collects all the knowledge in ancient times and is a supreme treasure of the nation.

How good is it? The first part of this book has as many as 60 volumes. What is the first part? It is just the catalog of the Yongle Encyclopedia!

The book consists of 22877 volumes (excluding 60 volumes of catalogue), 11095 volumes, and about 3.7 million words.

Then it was circulated in the palace of two generations for hundreds of years, some of it was lost, then foreigners came in, robbed some of it, and burned some of it. By Gao Zhendong's previous life, as far as he knew, there were only about 400 copies left.

Rumor has it that foreigners even used this book to build fortifications during wars!
The harm it has done to our civilization is so severe that it is hard to describe in words!

This book is so precious that the Russians donated 1951 copies to China in 11. In order to celebrate this event, the cultural department teamed up with the library in the capital to organize an exhibition.

Gao Zhendong didn't know if what he saw was a genuine copy, but he didn't care about it anymore. It looked old, not new, so he would take it. As for whether it was real or not, he would leave it to the relevant personnel to determine. If it was fake, he would just think that he had omitted a few pages of the book. What if it was real?

Gao Zhendong was even too lazy to enjoy the pleasure of bargaining during the book-hunting process. After asking the price, he directly took out thirty yuan and bought these five books that looked a bit mottled and weathered.

The history of this book made Gao Zhendong feel heavy-hearted, but the glimmer of hope of finding a few authentic copies made him feel a little excited.

Lou Xiao'e noticed that Gao Zhendong's mood seemed to be a little up and down, so she took his hand and held it tightly in her arms.

Gao Zhendong's mood calmed down all of a sudden. After all, things were moving in a good direction, weren't they? He patted Lou Xiao'e's hand, and Lou Xiao'e looked at him and smiled.

But perhaps because this day was the first time after marriage, God wanted to celebrate, and it was not only Gao Zhendong who benefited, but also Lou Xiaoe.

Lou Xiao'e found a very interesting set of things, which were placed in a large wooden box. The box also gave off a faint medicinal fragrance.

This is a set of ancient Chinese medical books, which seem to have been passed down from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, or at least from the hands of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner.

As for the general pulse department, it is the division method of traditional Chinese medicine. According to legend, traditional Chinese medicine has been divided into thirteen departments since the Song Dynasty. It is quite complete, including general pulse department, miscellaneous medicine, minor pulse department, wind, birth control, eyes, mouth and teeth, throat, bone setting, wounds and swellings, acupuncture, incantations, and prohibitions. Therefore, the saying that traditional Chinese medicine has no division is actually problematic.

Da Fangmai is roughly equivalent to adult internal medicine, Xiao Fangmai is pediatrics, and ordinary people can roughly figure out the others by looking at the names, except for Zhuyouke. Simply put, this thing is about shamanism.

There are a total of ten books in the wooden box. It seems that its former owner was also a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder. In Gao Zhendong's previous life, he would probably be the kind of person who would click on a video title like "The Top Ten XXXX You Don't Know".

"The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine", "Nanjing", "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Shennong's Herbal Classic", "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Pulse Classic", "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Jia Yi Jing", "Xiyan Ji Lu", "Emergency Prescriptions for the Elbow", and "Liu Juanzi's Ghost Prescriptions".

Although he couldn't understand it, Gao Zhendong was deeply shocked. The owner of this set of books should be a person with a profound family background in medicine, otherwise it would be difficult for one person to collect all these books in his lifetime. Looking at the age of these books, getting a medical book at that time was not as simple as buying one in a bookstore.

Interestingly, the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases" in this set of books is combined into one volume, and is not divided into the customary two parts of "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and "Golden Chamber".

The reason why Lou Xiao'e took a fancy to this box of books was very simple. She wanted to study medicine and she happened to see it, so she couldn't help but put it down.

Although the contents of these books may not be all correct, or may not be useful at this time, they are a symbol. In Lou Xiao'e's view, she encountered such a thing when she came to Panjiayuan for the first time after her marriage. It seemed like God wanted her to study medicine.

If you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door. Lou Xiao'e acted the same way as Gao Zhendong. She asked the price, did not bargain, and paid directly.

This set of stuff is more expensive than Gao Zhendong's, 100 yuan in total. The seller also said that it’s ten yuan each and the box is given to you for free.

Lou Xiao'e happily put the book box into Gao Zhendong's arms, and took Gao Zhendong away.

Gao Zhendong felt that Lou Xiao'e and he were a perfect match, and that she was just as impressive even when she was being taken advantage of.

In fact, this is what is meant by "money can't buy what you love". Those who collect antiques, calligraphy and paintings know that for some things, if you don't meet the right person, no one will want them even at three dollars. But if you meet someone who likes them, someone might be willing to pay ten times the price for them.

When Gao Zhendong was playing with electronic waste in his previous life, he once came across an antique Big Blue Little Black Book. It was a model from before Big Blue was sold, and it was in very good condition. Gao Zhendong had been itching to buy it for half a month, and finally couldn't resist and spent 1500 yuan to buy it. Unfortunately, it was struck by lightning before it arrived.

The two of them happily strolled around Panjiayuan for most of the day with their books in their arms, and then returned to Lou's house with their gains to have a meal at her parents' home.

Father Lou looked at the two people holding a wooden box and a few books, and said with a smile: "Are you going to Panjiayuan to be the money-giving boy again? I see you haven't been there for a long time, and you gave away a lot this time."

Lou Xiao'e said with a smile: "Dad, we bought good things. What about the boy who brings wealth? That sounds so ugly."

There was something in her mind that she didn't dare say, "When it comes to giving wealth, two bundles of us put together can't compare to one of your fingers."

Father Lou took it and took a look. As a former well-known figure in the capital, he knew a little bit about these things.

"Wow, I'm lucky. I don't know if the content is true or not, but at least the paper is old."

Not only Lou Xiao'e, but Gao Zhendong was also happy about this, because it was at least half right.
