Chapter 227 Sha Zhu is getting married and Qin Huairu is disappointed
In a meeting room of the vaccine research team.

When Wang Mengde stood up and prepared to walk out with the crowd, the leader called him.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, please wait a moment."

When he heard his leader calling him, he quickly stopped and leaned against the wall.

Those who walked by were secretly envious.

They are only lucky enough to meet with the senior leaders during meetings. A small number of people, perhaps because of their outstanding work or the need, can say a few words with them.

But this young man was different.

According to their private discussions, this is a leader that may be difficult for others to meet.

As for Wang Mengde, as long as he tells the secretary, unless there is something urgent, the boss will definitely make time to meet with him, even if it is just to chat.

After everyone left, the boss, his secretary and him were the only three people left in the meeting room.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, don't stand anymore. Please take a seat."

The big boss waved his hand amiably.

He had a special admiration for the very handsome young man in front of him.

In recent years, with the growth of this young man, the health and family planning department has achieved considerable results every year.

This resulted in him attending every year's year-end meeting with great enthusiasm.

The main reason is that the superiors will focus on praising the health and family planning system.

When he saw the envious and jealous eyes of other colleagues, he felt secretly happy.

Especially in the past two years, even the departments in charge of money, those gods of wealth, have welcomed him with smiles.

There is no way. The foreign exchange income of nearly 100 million US dollars each year is the profit from several drugs developed by Wang Mengde.

Moreover, as raw materials increase, production also increases, and naturally, foreign exchange earnings also rise.

Although this money cannot fill all the huge holes in the country, it can at least quench the thirst and give us a sigh of relief.

What's more, this is a long-term business, and there is at least this much money earned every year.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, I asked you to stay because I want to talk to you.

Now the vaccine research team has been upgraded to the Beijing Gene Research Institute. This is the country's expectation of you, and the burden on you is even heavier."

The big leader said with a smile.

In fact, the higher authorities have held many discussions some time ago, and the main topic was whether to upgrade the vaccine research team.

At several meetings, he strongly supported the upgrade.

At the same time, he also keenly realized that genetic technology would also be one of the important research directions in the future.

This conclusion was also the inspiration he got from his many casual chats with Wang Mengde.

"Boss, don't worry, we will definitely work hard on our research and report to our superiors with more research results."

Wang Mengde, who was sitting next to him, answered with a smile.

Ever since Liu Shuwei and his team have mastered the basic knowledge of genetic technology, he has been confident that future research results will definitely come out one after another.

Not to mention anything else, just the specific medicines for some difficult and complicated diseases and high-quality agricultural seedlings will make the genetic research institute famous in the future.

“Well, I’m sure you can.

By the way, I also know that you are usually very busy, so you should focus on the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

In the future, you only need to come to the Genetic Research Institute occasionally, and your main purpose is to give them guidance on the direction of their research.

The people at the Gene Research Institute are all the best and brightest who have been carefully selected by the country. They are trustworthy both professionally and ideologically."

Seeing Wang Mengde's promise, the leader gave another special instruction.

Director Lu of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine has contacted him many times, hoping that Wang Mengde would concentrate on research in the future.

Even if he wants to hold a position in the vaccine research team, don't be the deputy leader, just an advisor will be enough.

He didn't agree at that time.

In the eyes of superiors, vaccine research is equally important.

Many infectious diseases can be gradually prevented and controlled, and eventually completely eliminated, with the availability of vaccines.

Smallpox, an infectious disease that made ancient people shudder with fear, has been completely eliminated in China thanks to the vaccine.

The superiors also wanted to develop more vaccines under the guidance of Wang Mengde, preferably to successfully prevent and control all infectious diseases in the country.

“Boss, I will take some time to come and discuss this with you all.

I will also share everything I know with everyone and strive to develop more vaccines.”

Wang Mengde also knew what the leaders meant, so he continued the conversation.

"Well, that's right.

Human power is limited, and only when everyone’s minds are focused on one thing can the fire burn brighter.”

The big boss nodded and was very satisfied.

The two people chatted in the meeting until almost noon.

Only at the secretary's reminder did I go to the cafeteria to have a simple meal.

Before leaving, the senior leader held his hand and reluctantly said, "Comrade Wang Mengde, next time you go to a meeting or report on your work, you must come to me.

As long as I'm not dealing with urgent matters, I will definitely find time to chat with you again."

From an early on, he felt that chatting with Wang Mengde was very comfortable and inspiring.

At the end of each chat, he had a lot of mature ideas in his mind.

These ideas, when put into practice, can also achieve very good results.

Not only him, but other leaders in the health and family planning system also have the same feeling.

Therefore, this led to many leaders being willing to chat with Wang Mengde.

in the afternoon.

After get off work, Wang Mengde rode his bicycle and quickly arrived at Nanluoguxiang.

As soon as I arrived at the gate, I met Sha Zhu and Yu Li, who were slowly walking towards me from the entrance of the alley.

From a distance, Sha Zhu waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Meng De, wait for me, I want to talk to you about something."

When Wang Mengde heard the guy calling him, he stopped his bicycle and stood there waiting for him.

After a while, two people came closer.

After greeting Yu Li, he turned to Sha Zhu and asked, "Sha Zhu, what do you want from me?"

"Meng De, let's go to my house and talk."

Looking around, he found Yan Bugui in the yard, secretly looking over here, and Sha Zhu said in a low voice.

Because of Yu Li, the Yan family now regards him as their mortal enemy.

Every time Yan Jiecheng saw him, he glared at him. If he could beat him, he would have fought with him long ago.

"Okay, I'll go back first and find you at your house later."

Wang Mengde pushed his bicycle into the yard and spoke in a low voice.

"Yeah, by the way, Meng De, have dinner at my house tonight. I made some pork elbow and we can have a nice drink together."

Sha Zhu said with a wink.

He is now in high spirits.

I don’t know if it’s fate or some other reason.

It has been several months, and his relationship with Yu Li is still very good.

Unlike in the past, even if the girl was very satisfied when you first met, it would soon end for various reasons.

Even some of the girls were fine the day before and went out to play together.

When I went to look for him the next day, he was inexplicably unwilling to show up.

Go home.

After putting the bicycle away, Wang Mengde said to his wife:

"Shengnan, I'm going to Shazhu's house for dinner tonight. Take out the bottle of Fenjiu that Brother Dai gave me last time. I'll bring it over later."

Dai Botao didn't know where he got it from, but in the past few months, he had sent him more than a dozen bottles of wine. A few days ago, he brought two bottles.

At that time, the three of them had something to do, so they drank one bottle, and the remaining bottle was put away by He Shengnan.

"Well, I'll get it for you."

He Shengnan quickly put down the work in her hands and took out a bottle of wine from the cupboard:
"Meng De, is one bottle enough? Do you want to bring another bottle? You and Sha Zhu both have high alcohol tolerances. It would be embarrassing if it's not enough."

"Haha, no need.

Sha Zhu can't drink too much today, and he has to send his girlfriend home later."

Wang Mengde explained with a smile,
Yu Li is also having dinner here tonight and will go back later.

It’s so dark here, Shazhu must send her there.

The present age is not like the later ages.

Even if two people are dating, they dare not live together before marriage.

If this were discovered, it would not only be embarrassing, but would also attract the attention of street and neighborhood committee leaders.

This is illegal.

If you get caught, you will never be able to hold your head up for the rest of your life and you will have to go to jail for a while.

There is a term called promiscuous relations between men and women.

Not to mention sleeping together before marriage, even on the street you would never see them holding hands, let alone hugging and kissing.

Anyone who dares to do this will definitely attract a large group of people to curse at him and regard it as an immoral act.

So, getting married in this era.

The furniture or items used for the wedding may be old, but the bride is basically new.

"That's fine. You guys should finish eating earlier and let Sha Zhu send the girl back earlier."

Carrying a bottle of wine, Wang Mengde slowly walked to the door of Sha Zhu's house.

When the door of Sha Zhu's house opened, they saw two people huddled together, talking and laughing while cooking.

"Hey, Meng De, you brought a bottle of wine, and it's Fenjiu.

I haven’t had such good wine for a while, and today I can satisfy my craving again.”

Sha Zhu looked at the Fenjiu in his hand, his eyes lit up, and he quickly said with a smile.

In the past few years, even though his methods were rather wild, he was able to get some supplies.

But Fenjiu is a rare commodity and rarely appears on the market.

The most he would do is try some Lao Baigan or Erguotou, and sometimes, he would just enjoy a drink even if he had nothing else.

Sitting in the living room.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the food was finally ready.

In addition to a Dongpo pork elbow, there was also a small plate of peanuts, a plate of green vegetables, and a small dish of shredded pickled vegetables.

These four simple dishes made Yu Li secretly proud.

At first, she didn't like Sha Zhu.

Later, after being persuaded by her younger sister Yu Haitang and her parents, she tried dating him.

Unexpectedly, after I actually came into contact with it, I found that I almost missed a treasure.

In the past, due to financial difficulties, their family could hardly eat meat once a month, and most of the meat was eaten first by their sick mother and younger brothers and sisters.

By the time it was her turn, only vegetable soup was left.

After getting along with Sha Zhu, I couldn't eat meat every day, but every now and then, some oily food would be sent to her house.

Sometimes, I would specially save some for her and feed it to her secretly.

It can be said that the meat she ate in these few months was more than she had eaten in the previous three or four years.

At the same time, the number of times I feel full has increased.

Now she no longer minds that Shazhu is getting old. As long as she can have enough to eat, she will accept his age.

What's the point of having good looks? It can't be used to make a living.

What's more, Sha Zhu's conditions are not bad.

Not having the support of parents is indeed a disadvantage, but if you think about it from another perspective, if you marry into the family, you can directly become the head of the family.

A sister-in-law has also started working.

After she gets married in two years, she will be given a dowry at most, but from now on, she will have the final say in this family.

So, even if Xu Damao found her secretly and said a lot of bad things about Sha Zhu to her, she did not waver.

On the contrary, he told Sha Zhu about this matter without hesitation.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

"Meng De, I'm getting married at the beginning of next month."

While chatting, Sha Zhu suddenly said.

Wang Mengde was not surprised to hear this, because he and Yu Li had been in love for more than three months.

In this day and age, it is very normal for two people who have just met or have never met before to get married.

"Haha, this is a good thing. Congratulations."

Wang Mengde picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Sha Zhu.

"Meng De, I need your help with something."

Putting down the wine glass, Sha Zhu said seriously: "You also know that I bought a bicycle before, this is for Yu Shui.

I'm getting married to Yu Li, and she said she doesn't want a dowry or any big purchases.

But men also need to save face, so the betrothal gift must be given and a big item must also be bought.

As for me, I want to buy a sewing machine and leave it for Yu Li to use for sewing and mending at home in the future.

I discussed it with an old man, and he had saved up more than 20 industrial coupons, which he lent me. Together with my own, I had more than 30 coupons.

Look, can you lend me a dozen industrial vouchers? Don't worry, I save one every month and will give it back to you first."

The uncle he was referring to was naturally Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai also spent a lot of money on the newly selected person who would provide him with retirement care in the future.

"No problem. A dozen tickets may not be enough. You need to buy some decent daily necessities for your wedding. I'll lend you twenty tickets. Don't worry about returning them to me."

Wang Mengde agreed readily.

Anyway, they have more than ten industrial coupons a month, which they can't spend all.

I can’t take it out to buy something, so I can only lend it to others.

Moreover, Sha Zhu’s character is trustworthy and he will definitely return it to me in the future.

"Haha, Meng De, then thank you."

Sha Zhu quickly stood up, picked up the bottle, and poured him a glass of wine. Then, without sitting down, he picked up the glass and drank it down with one gulp.

arrive home.

He Shengnan brought a basin of warm water to the bedside, then squatted down and washed his feet.

Under the influence of alcohol, Wang Mengde recounted what had just happened.

"It's time for them to get married. Shazhu is the same age as you."

next door.

Qin Huairu was lying on the bed.

She couldn't sleep tonight.

During dinner, I smelled the aroma of meat wafting from Sha Zhu's house and saw Yu Li's smiling face.

It hurt her heart deeply.

Turning her head and looking at her incompetent husband, she felt empty inside.

It was as if he and the Jia family were about to lose something.
