Chapter 225 Returning favors
Scolding your son?
After hearing this, Wang Hao was stunned.

I haven't scolded my eldest son for a long time.

I remember that it was after he went to work at the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine that the two of them had only occasional disagreements and arguments.

At other times, everything is harmonious.

Especially as his son's achievements grew, he became proud and didn't take even small problems to heart.

However, the two younger sons had very bad tempers and had been beaten many times and scolded countless times in the past few years.

Shaking his head, Wang Hao said with a smile:

"It was several years ago, I don't remember anything."

"It was that time. I had just started working, it was in 54. After I got my salary, I bought a lot of liquor."

Wang Mengde also reminded with a smile.

"You mean that time?"

With his son's reminder, Wang Hao suddenly remembered:

"Yes, I remember now. That time you bought several jars of strong liquor, and I called you a spendthrift.

At that time, you didn’t need tickets to buy wine, and there was plenty of it on the market. If you bought more than a hundred kilograms at once, I would call you a wine barrel.”

As he spoke, he couldn't help laughing.

At that time, the eldest son had just reached adulthood, and it was he who came up with the idea to get a job at the steel mill workers' hospital.

Unexpectedly, earth-shaking changes have taken place in just a few years.

His son has now become his pride.

"Yes, later on, I buried those jars of wine under the cellar. I will dig out two jars later. They will be perfect for making medicinal wine.

It was filled with 65% alcohol liquor. I wanted to use it to make snake gall wine, but I gradually forgot about it."

Wang Mengde said proudly while holding the tiger bone.

In fact, he didn't think so far ahead at the time, he just saved some money subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, it comes in handy now.

When he takes the wine out, no one will suspect anything. After all, eight years ago, when he came back from buying wine, Wang Hao was the only one who scolded him.

The other neighbors also talked about him behind his back for a long time, saying that he was a nerd again.

"Haha, that's great, come on, I'll go dig with you."

Wang Hao laughed.

He didn't expect that his son's previous unintentional action would actually lead to a successful outcome.

Otherwise, it would be useless to have tiger bones and tiger penis without a large amount of strong liquor.

The father and son chatted and laughed, then picked up their tools and came outside. Wang Mengde lifted the thick wooden board and went down to the cellar along the short ladder.

Then he used tools to carefully dig up the soil.

You have to be careful. If you dig the wine jar too hard and break it, it will be a joke.

At this time.

Yan Bugui arrived at the middle courtyard. He saw Wang Hao standing at the entrance of the cellar, looking inside, so he asked curiously, "Old Wang, what are you doing?"

It is already May and the weather is very warm. There are no more vegetables such as cabbage, radish, potato, and onion in the cellar.

The cellars of every household were empty.

"Hey, Old Yan, Meng De and I are digging wine jars."

Wang Hao turned his head, took a look, and then explained.

In the yard, except for Banggeng who likes to take other people's things, everyone else is normal.

So, he said it openly.

"Wine jar? When did you buy the wine?"

When he heard that it was wine, Yan Bugui couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

He used to like to have a drink or two.

Unfortunately, since 58, people can only buy two bottles of liquor with their food allowance during festivals.

There are only about six bottles a year, which is not enough to drink.

As a result, he often mixed water into the half-drunk liquor so that he could drink more and satisfy his cravings.

"I bought it a long time ago. In 54, Meng De bought several jars, more than kilograms of high-proof liquor."

"More than 100 pounds?"

When Yan Bugui heard this, his eyes widened.

Hundreds of kilograms of liquor nowadays is a huge fortune, a good thing that cannot be bought even with money.

His eyes rolled around and he instantly had an idea in his mind.

"Old Wang, I have something to discuss with you.

As you know, my Jie Cheng is looking for a girlfriend recently. When the relationship is successful, he will definitely come to our house to meet her. Can you give me a few kilograms of white wine? I will keep it for entertaining the girl's family."

His calculations were very loud.

If Wang Hao was willing to give him a few kilograms, he would definitely not ask for a high price, at most a fair price.

This saves you the wine ticket.

You know, some wine tickets are more expensive than the wine.

"Second uncle, we use this wine to make medicinal wine, and I guess this 100-plus kilograms may not be enough.

I can’t share it with you, sorry.”

Down in the cellar, Wang Mengde, who was sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, spoke first.

He was afraid that Wang Hao would not be able to save face, so he agreed.

"Uh, it's okay, I'm going to go to the backyard to look for Lao Liu first."

Yan Bugui made an excuse and walked to the backyard with an embarrassed look on his face.

When he reached the door of Shazhu's house, he spat fiercely on the ground.

Just because of Sha Zhu, his eldest son Yan Jiecheng hasn't found a partner yet. It's not that there is no suitable one, but that he is not willing to pay too much for the bride price.

After all, there was Yu Li, who set an example by not asking for a dowry, but the girl behind her asked for a dowry, so he felt a little unwilling.

I am looking forward to finding another girl who doesn't ask for a dowry to be my daughter-in-law.

soon.

Wang Mengde came out of the cellar holding two jars of wine.

"Dad, these two jars can hold 20 kilograms each, which is enough."

"That's enough, let's go back first."

Seeing the curious looks from the neighbors in the yard from time to time, the two men quickly moved the jar of wine home.

Of course, the entrance to the cellar was also sealed with thick wooden boards and locked.

It took several days.

Wang Mengde soaked the tiger bones and tiger penis in wine.

He also put a lot of medicinal herbs in the wine to speed up the medicinal effects of tiger bones and tiger penises.

Next, of course, is waiting.

Even if he put a lot of medicinal herbs in it, it would have to be soaked for at least three months before it could be used.

this day.

Zhou Xiaoyan brought He Shengwu and He Yanan to Nanluoguxiang.

"Brother-in-law, are you home?"

Before entering the house, my sister-in-law couldn't wait to ask.

"Yanan is here, come in quickly."

In the living room, Wang Mengde was sitting on a chair, drinking tea leisurely. It was a rare opportunity for him to take a break from his busy life.

Today, Wang Hao went to the hospital for duty. Ran Xiaomei and He Shengnan took the children to the cinema to watch a movie, so he was the only one at home.

These days, in addition to seeing patients at Guang'anmen Hospital, he is also responsible for internal medicine affairs and writing teaching materials.

Now, the first draft of the acupuncture textbook has been completed and is being proofread by other colleagues in the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Of course, they will also make some suggestions and insights, and then sign as deputy editor and editor of this textbook.

After completing the initial teaching material on acupuncture, Wang Mengde did not rest and continued to compile teaching materials on skin diseases. He planned to use two years to compile at least seven or eight textbooks.

It will come in handy when the Chinese Medical Research Institute has its own school established.

But there was some gossip leaked out.

The leaders of the Medical University and Union Hospital didn't know where they got the news from, and they were now applying to their superiors.

I want to use the acupuncture textbook written by Wang Mengde in the medical university first.

When this matter was mentioned, Dean Lu became so angry that he almost jumped up and down.

Keep calling the other person shameless.

Unfortunately, he was unable to stop this from happening and could only rush to his superiors, hoping to get the matter of opening the school settled as soon as possible.

"Brother-in-law."

After entering the house, He Shengwu called out politely.

In addition to respect for his brother-in-law, he also felt a little bit afraid.

"Mom, Shengwu, you are here, please sit down."

Wang Mengde stood up, greeted everyone, then walked into the bedroom and took out some snacks.

"Yeah, White Rabbit milk candy, peach cakes and biscuits."

He Yanan was not afraid of him. When she saw the delicious food in the small bamboo basket on the table, she rushed over.

“Yanan, and Shengwu, come and try it, you’re welcome.

Mom, you can try some too, these are gifts from friends.”

"Brother-in-law, White Rabbit candy is really delicious. The ones you gave me last time were secretly eaten by my brother, and I even cried."

He Yanan put a White Rabbit milk candy in her mouth, feeling the milky fragrance in her mouth, and squinted her eyes happily.

Of course, she did not forget that He Shengwu stole her candy, so she took the opportunity to complain.

Next to him, He Shengwu was holding a piece of peach cake and eating it in small bites.

After hearing what my sister said, I shrank my neck in embarrassment.

"Haha, it's okay. When we leave, I'll fill more for you. When you're done eating, come find my brother-in-law and he'll get more for you."

Wang Mengde said with a smile.

He treated his sister-in-law completely as his own daughter.

"Thank you, brother-in-law. Brother-in-law is the best."

After hearing his assurance, He Yanan quickly said in a flattering manner.

She wasn't worried that there wasn't any delicious food at her brother-in-law's house, because every time she came here, there were always endless snacks.

There are all kinds of things, some that you have seen before and some that you have not seen before.

If her parents hadn't forbade her to come often, she would have wanted to live at her brother-in-law's house permanently.

"Meng De, don't spoil her."

Zhou Xiaoyan spoke at this time.

Although the son-in-law is very generous and very good to their family.

But she felt that she should be careful about the limits and not take it for granted.

At the same time, the son-in-law must not feel that his family is greedy.

"Haha, Mom, it's okay. We have a lot of candies and snacks at home. It's a good opportunity to share some with Yanan."

Wang Mengde said with a smile.

A few people were chatting, and suddenly the voices of Dai Botao and Liang Mancang were heard from the central courtyard.

"Meng De, are you at home?"

"Brother Dai, Brother Liang, I'm here. You are here. Please come in."

"Oh, sorry, we didn't know you had guests at home, so we came here without permission."

After coming in, Dai Botao saw several people sitting in the room and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Brother Dai, these are not outsiders."

Wang Mengde hurriedly pulled the two of them into the living room and briefly introduced them to each other.

He Yanan looked at the two people curiously, paying special attention to the gifts they were holding.

In addition to some snacks and fruits, there was also a fish weighing four or five kilograms, and a piece of pork belly weighing more than one kilogram.

"Meng De, Lao Dai and I just happened to have nothing to do today, so we came to find you to team up."

Liang Mancang put the things in his hand on the table and said with a smile.

"Welcome, welcome, let's have a drink together at noon."

Wang Mengde reached out and took the fish and pork from their hands, and then put them into the vegetable washing basin next to him.

When Zhou Xiaoyan saw her son-in-law accepted it, she stood up with great foresight and said with a smile:

"You guys sit down and chat, I'll clean up the fish and meat first."

Just now through chatting, she found out that Ran Xiaomei and her daughter were going to eat out at noon today.

Her son-in-law's family needed someone to help with cooking, so she didn't mention going back.

When he went out, he also dragged his son and reluctant daughter outside.

After she left, Dai Botao and Liang Mancang looked at each other, and then Dai Botao spoke:
"Hey, Meng De, there's something.

It's the 'Palace Emperor Pill' you gave us last time. Do you have any more?

If there is more, can you give us some more? It would be best if there is more.”

A few days ago, Wang Mengde gave each of them four bottles. At first, the two of them didn't take it seriously.

But after experiencing it, I found that the legend is true.

The effects of that medicine and tiger penis wine are slightly different, and it can be said that they each have their own merits.

Unlike tiger penis wine, the advantage of this medicine is that it is more convenient, takes effect faster and lasts longer.

After trying a few more times and reaching this conclusion, they were overjoyed and came together to ask for more.

"Hey, Brother Dai, Brother Liang, how much do you want?"

Wang Mengde asked hesitantly.

In fact, he already has several hundred bottles stored in his space.

"Meng De, do you have twenty bottles? We are planning to use them as gifts.

This time I came back from the Northeast, and I was going to Shandong Province with a few comrades to visit my old company commander, thinking of giving it as a gift. "

Liang Mancang asked cautiously.

"Brother Liang, Brother Dai, I still have some of this medicine, probably about fifty bottles, I'll give them all to you."

"That's great, Meng De, thank you."

noon.

Including my mother-in-law and her family of three, six of us sat around the dining table and had a sumptuous lunch.

after eating.

Except for Zhou Xiaoyan who was cleaning up the leftovers, everyone else sat together and chatted.

Looking at He Shengwu, Dai Botao asked meaningfully:

"Xiao He, you are about to graduate from junior high school. Is there any company you want to work for?"

During the chat just now, they all knew that He Shengwu would go to work after graduating in June or July.

“I want to be a driver.”

He Shengwu said in a low voice.

Unlike his brother He Shengwen, he is more eccentric and has his own ideas.

"Want to be a driver?

Isn’t this a coincidence? In this way, you don’t have to go to other companies or factories. I will arrange for you to work in our unit.

The company will directly arrange for you to learn driving skills, and then a master will teach you for three years. After three years, you can drive for your boss directly. Do you think it’s okay?”

Dai Botao said happily.

He is returning the favor.
