Chapter 122: Being cheated!
"You've made progress, little brat! But don't show off. You need to keep working hard!" said Zhao Zhengguo.
"I was thinking that when you come back, I'll have to go to the yard to borrow some from neighbors or relatives. Now, I don't have to worry about it!" Guo Ping smiled, her face becoming more rosy.
Zhao Dongchuan handed all the money and tickets in his hand to Guo Ping.
"Mom, take these money and tickets, eat something good and take care of yourself!"
At the same time, he began to observe Guo Ping's complexion. He had never used this skill of elementary Chinese medicine.
At this time, he was observing and verifying the knowledge transmitted from the system.
"It's okay, it's okay. It looks like it's caused by insufficient Qi and blood, and congenitally weak constitution. There's nothing wrong with it!"
Zhao Dongchuan observed for a while and came to some preliminary conclusions. Of course, he had not taken the patient's pulse or looked at the tongue coating yet. He just took a rough look. He would find a chance to take the patient's pulse when he had time.
"You don't need so much. You should keep some money for yourself!"
Zhao Dongchuan said with a smile: "Mom, take it, I have more!"
"Aping, take it. This is a little gift from Dongchuan!" Zhao Zhengguo said with a smile.
Guo Ping took the money and said with a smile: "Little Dongzi has made a difference, so we should benefit from it too!"
…………
Zhao Dongchuan then had a simple but warm lunch at home.
Guo Ping also added a dish temporarily and cooked a cabbage stew with meat.
Everyone was having a great time eating and chatting while they ate, talking about some recent events. Zhao Dongchuan also talked about his situation in Huangyuan and the people and events in Shuangshui Village.
"It's a pity for Sun Shaoan and Tian Runye!" Guo Ping said as she picked up a piece of fat meat for Zhao Dongchuan.
"Indeed, but I think He Xiu Lian is more suitable for him!" Zhao Zhengguo took a bite of rice and expressed his opinion.
"Yes, Brother Shaoan and Sister Xiulian are a match made in heaven. They have similar backgrounds, culture, and values. If they work hard together after marriage, their lives will definitely get better and better!" Zhao Dongchuan said with a smile.
"You are so generous. You helped them a lot and even gave them a bicycle!" Guo Ping said with a little heartache.
These are all needed for his son to get married.
"Aping, you can't say that. Didn't you hear what Dongchuan said? Brother Yuhou is Dongchuan's savior. Giving him some gifts and helping him out a little bit doesn't mean anything. When we have the chance to meet each other in the future, we must thank him properly!" Zhao Zhengguo's face turned serious and he said to Guo Ping in a serious manner.
"Yes, yes, you are right. This is my woman's opinion. You men are all good people, okay?" Guo Ping couldn't help but scold.
"Mom, don't worry. I will definitely earn more in the future. Maybe I can even become a millionaire!" Zhao Dongchuan smiled and gave a heads-up in advance.
"Hahaha, then I'll wait and see if you can find me a beautiful wife! I'll be very satisfied then!" Guo Ping laughed.
"Why do you always ask me to get married? I'm still young..." Zhao Dongchuan said helplessly.
"What do you mean little? Haven't you seen the old Liu family in the front yard? His eldest son's child is already four or five years old. In fact, he is only four or five years older than you!"
"If there is a girl you like, you must act as soon as possible, or I can ask around and find one for you!" Guo Ping's implication was to urge Zhao Dongchuan to find a partner as soon as possible.
"Mom, I'm still focusing on my career right now. When I become rich in the future, I can marry any kind of wife I want. Don't be in a hurry!" Zhao Dongchuan said as he picked up a piece of meat and put it in Guo Ping's bowl.
"Hey... you've learned to shut me up. But, you do have a point. A man should be ambitious and work hard! Then I won't rush you. You should also pay attention!"
"Oh, by the way, Dad, Mom, I have always had a question. I was young and ignorant before, and I didn't think about this question. Why was I arranged to go to the countryside to work in the production team? Didn't they say that only children don't have to go?"
Zhao Dongchuan only realized this problem later.
According to the policy, in the late 70s, only children did not have to go to the countryside to work. It was only in the 60s, when everyone was enthusiastic, that no matter whether they were the only child or not, they had to obey the highest instructions and go to the vast rural areas to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants!
Faced with this question, Zhao Zhengguo and Guo Ping's faces froze, and their expressions were a little unnatural.
"We don't know the answer to this question either. Maybe the subdistrict office made a mistake. Don't ask too many questions. You have made a name for yourself now. It doesn't matter where you work!"
Zhao Zhengguo hesitated for a moment and then spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Dongchuan knew that there must be something fishy going on. Someone was interfering, and this person was quite powerful. Zhao Zhengguo and Guo Ping were powerless to do anything. Otherwise, Zhao Dongchuan's parents loved their son so much that they would not have dared to cause trouble for that person, and would have hesitated and not dared to explain clearly.
I guess they're afraid that he might feel resentful and go to argue with others, which would provoke them and not only would he not get any good results, but would cause trouble instead.
Zhao Dongchuan naturally wouldn't show it directly. He just smiled faintly and nodded.
Seeing that Zhao Dongchuan did not continue to ask questions, Zhao Zhengguo and Guo Ping breathed a sigh of relief, but they also felt very aggrieved. They were obviously cheated, but they had to hide it from their son, fearing that he would go to that person to argue.
They didn't take it seriously at first, but later they thought more and more that something was wrong, so they went to the street office to inquire. After much inquiry, the deputy director of the street office, Lao Wang, kindly gave them a hint.
It was said that his son had offended a kid from a wealthy family, so the director of the street office arranged for his son Zhao Dongchuan to be arrested. The specific identity of this kid from the wealthy family was not disclosed.
It was just said that his surname was Li and he was a child of a very powerful compound.
Afterwards, Zhao Zhengguo and Guo Ping began to think of ways to transfer Zhao Dongchuan back, but it is easy to go out, but it is not so easy to come back. If there is no unit to recruit him, there is no way to come back. The family does not have much savings, and they cannot do things without money, so they can only waste time. Fortunately, Zhao Dongchuan worked hard and was recruited by the local unit. At least it was a roundabout way to save the country.
Zhao Dongchuan would naturally not reveal it easily. Since someone had tried to trick him, he would certainly not let it go.
But he needs to understand the details, make some plans, and find out who is plotting against him.
After dinner, Zhao Dongchuan rushed to wash the dishes. By the time he finished washing the dishes, his mother Guo Ping had made the bed.
"Just take a good rest at home today and don't go out and wander around!" Guo Ping advised.
"Okay, I'll just rest at home for a while, read a book, and then go to bed!"
Then Zhao Dongchuan took out the book from his bag and started reading.
Seeing Zhao Dongchuan reading attentively, Zhao Zhengguo and Guo Ping smiled with relief, thinking that their boy had really grown up.
He wrote to me before, saying that his poems had been published and he had been recruited for a job. Later, he wrote to me again to say that his novel had been published. The good news kept coming, so good that it seemed too unreal to them.
