Siheyuan: The prosperous era starting from being a doctor

Chapter 407 One of the Greatest Scientific Achievements
Speaking of catching an adulterer in the backyard.

Wang Mengde originally thought that Widow Meng and He Daqing were trapped on the bed.

You'll find out after you ask.

It turned out that the street staff came up empty-handed this time.

This morning, He Daqing came to the courtyard. He first went into his own home in the central courtyard and got the "Palace Emperor Pill".

Then he hurried to the backyard without even drinking a sip of water.

The deaf old lady scolded him a few times at that time, but it was of no use.

He stayed with Widow Meng until about two o'clock in the afternoon, then he hurriedly took the bus back to Baoding.

No one knew who secretly reported it, but less than an hour after He Daqing left, a street official came over with two people, carrying a pistol across his shoulder.

Their target was clear, they headed straight for Xu Damao's house in the backyard.

Although no evidence was found at the time, the official spread the word when he left, asking Widow Meng to behave herself.

From now on, their family will be the focus of attention.

After the official left, the neighbors in the yard gathered in groups of three or four to eat melons.

Everyone already knew clearly about the affair between He Daqing and Widow Meng.

But I didn't expect that someone would report it.

Unfortunately, He Daqing managed to escape without any danger.

But when Xu Damao comes back in the evening and hears about this, there will be something interesting to watch.

really.

Xu Damao was tired after a day of odd jobs. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the alley, he was laughed at by his former friends.

After hearing this, he became furious.

He also knew before that his widowed wife was restless and had been flirting with Shazhu's father.

It's just that there is no evidence, and he has his own plans.

I was forced to marry Meng Li. I plan to find an opportunity to divorce her in the future, and then find another older girl and have a few children.

So he usually turned a blind eye and tolerated Meng Li's little actions.

But now it's different.

The incident was exposed, and even people from the street came to their house to catch the couple in adultery.

Isn't this just slapping Xu Damao in the face?

So, he went home despite everyone's mocking looks and saw Meng Li lying on the bed leisurely with her eyes closed, and even asked him to make dinner quickly.

Suddenly my anger rose.

Without caring about the consequences, he walked to the bedside and slapped Meng Li in the face with his hand.

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of a couple quarreling and fighting were heard from the backyard.

Even Liu Haizhong, who went to mediate the fight, was scratched several times by Meng Li.

In the end, Xu Damao went to his parents' old house to avoid the limelight. However, judging from the look on Widow Meng's face, this matter was definitely not over.

Wang Mengde listened to the gossip told by his wife, thought for a moment, and guessed who was reporting it.

Based on the assumption that whoever benefits is the most suspicious, it is probably Yi Zhonghai who was behind this matter, and it is almost certain.

After all, He Daqing comes back every now and then, and Meng Li is there to seduce him.

Maybe one day he will abandon the White Widow of Baoding and return to the Siheyuan.

Once he comes back, he will definitely not let his son be supported by outsiders in his old age, and Yi Zhonghai's plans for so many years will be ruined.

The issue of elderly care is his Achilles' heel, and it is something he absolutely cannot tolerate.

As for why the people on the street didn't block people in the house.

I guess Yi Zhonghai has thought about this. Once this matter is confirmed, the He family will have a stain on its reputation.

Even the next generation including Sha Zhu and He Yu will be affected, which is a situation he does not want to see.

So he deliberately waited until the right time and then reported it secretly.

In this way, the He family would not be implicated, and He Daqing would be frightened and would never dare to mess around in the courtyard again.

It would be perfect if He Daqing could live steadily with the White Widow in Baoding and never come back.

night.

Lying in bed.

He Shengnan's belly is already very big.

As the weather was still a bit hot, the two people did not sit close to each other.

"Shengnan, grandma dried a lot of beans at home and said she would have Jingru deliver them in a few days.

When the time comes, use the dried beans to stew the meat, it will be very delicious. "

Wang Mengde said with a smile.

"Oh, I have to trouble grandma and the others again.

I have a good appetite now, I can eat anything and eat a lot.”

He Shengnan said somewhat embarrassedly.

The last time Wang Mengqi and Qin Jingru came over, she casually mentioned that she wanted to eat dried beans, and Wang Tianshi remembered it.

Not only did he use all the beans grown in his own three-acre vegetable garden to dry them, he also exchanged various supplies with other neighbors around the village.

The neighbors in Tiangezhuang are all relatives, and the supplies she took out are all in-demand and scarce, so she has changed a lot in these days.

It is said that the whole yard is full of beans drying.

In fact, although there are a lot of fresh beans, about a hundred pounds, but if you calculate it according to the ratio of ten to one, only ten pounds will be dried.

"It's okay. The dried beans can be kept. If you take them out from time to time and let them cool, they can be eaten for nearly a year.

When winter comes, it will be delicious to stew goose with it.”

Wang Mengde said with a smile.

When he learned that his grandmother Wang Tian had exchanged supplies for over 100 kilograms of beans in her hometown, he did not stop her.

Anyway, he just plans to send more things back later.

"Well, then let's save it and eat it slowly until next summer."

Although the family's living standard has risen sharply in the past two years, He Shengnan's mindset has not changed much. It is still similar to before, always thinking about long-term benefits if anything good happens.

Seeing his wife calculating seriously, Wang Mengde couldn't help but smile.

Silent all night.

the next day.

Wang Mengde got up early, led the children in doing some boxing, and taught them some basic medical knowledge.

After breakfast, he rode his bike directly to the Beijing Gene Research Institute.

After meeting up with Director Feng, the two of them got in a car and headed to the higher authorities.

In a conference room.

Three leaders from higher-level departments, plus Director Wang Mengde and Director Feng, and two staff members who took notes.

As soon as he sat down, the head of the health department couldn't wait to ask:
"Comrade Wang Mengde, please give us a detailed introduction to the 'Human Genome Project' you mentioned."

When Director Feng reported to them over the phone, he only gave them a brief outline.

After all, he didn't really understand.

However, from the name, we can tell that this plan is definitely huge and surprising. Sure enough, as Wang Mengde introduced it in a simple and easy-to-understand way, their faces changed from serious to smiling.

It took about half an hour before Wang Mengde stopped.

"Several leaders, this is roughly what the Human Genome Project looks like."

After saying this, he picked up the enamel jar in front of him and drank most of it.

Then he waited quietly for the three leaders to digest the information he had just given.

A few minutes later.

The big leader came back to his senses, and he said with surprise:

“Comrade Wang Mengde, the plan you mentioned is simply one of the greatest scientific innovations in the history of human civilization.

Once this plan is completed as you said, the progress of mankind will be unpredictable.

In the future, most diseases will completely disappear, and its role in driving and promoting the development of the bio-industry and life sciences will be obvious.

It will also bring revolutionary subversion and changes to the ideas and methodologies of future life science research.

Moreover, this plan will have a huge impact on everyone in the world, which is incomparable to any event in human history.”

The big leader was also a professional talent before. In addition to work, he is also constantly learning new knowledge.

At the same time, Wang Mengde’s explanation was very comprehensive and easy to understand, covering the difficulty, benefits, and impact of implementing this plan.

So all these combined together enabled him to say such insightful words.

“Leader, the prospect of this plan is indeed very attractive, but the process is indeed extremely difficult.

Not only does it require a lot of manpower and material resources, but it also requires a large amount of continuous financial support every year.

Moreover, the time required is immeasurable. It may take decades to produce results. If the process is interrupted, all previous efforts will be wasted.”

Wang Mengde first pointed out some risk issues.

past life.

From 1990 until he traveled through time, more than thirty years had passed.

The six most powerful and economically advanced countries in the world joined together and spent several years to complete the preliminary working framework of the human genome.

This is still a relatively simple initial work.

It is only the late 1960s. If China alone were to rely on him, it would probably take more energy and time to complete this task.

During this period, the amount of money needed is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

In recent years, the pharmaceutical export business has become increasingly prosperous, and annual foreign exchange earnings have increased significantly.

The hot sales of the "Rejuvenation Pill" gave him some confidence.

Otherwise, he would never have proposed this plan at this time.

"Well, I can't take charge of the situation you described. I need to report to my superiors.

However, our health and family planning department will definitely support your plan.

As for the investment in talent, major universities and colleges have been training a large number of talents in recent years, and they can squeeze out some to participate in this program every year.

At the same time, under the coordination of the state, each research institute or scientific research unit can also share part of the work.

As for money, you don't have to worry. Last month, the revenue from the "Rejuvenation Pill" alone reached 20 million US dollars.

This is because only 1,500 pills were sold under restrictions.

In the future, we can gradually increase the quantity, and the income will definitely increase significantly."

The senior leader thought about it for a moment, then spoke in a firm tone.

Next to them, two other leaders also echoed and expressed their support for the plan.

They all understood that once this plan was implemented, there would only be input but no output in the short term.

But after ten or twenty years, when the results are achieved, the rewards will definitely be ten times, twenty times, or even dozens or hundreds of times.

By then, China's technology, because of its first-mover advantage, will be able to dominate other countries.

Director Feng and Wang Mengde were both very happy to hear their superior say this.

A few people chatted for another half an hour before adjourning the meeting with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

When leaving, Wang Mengde also left behind some information, which will be modified and used as reporting materials by the health and family planning department.

on the way back.

Director Feng looked out the window for a while, then turned around and asked Wang Mengde:
"Comrade Wang Mengde, I've thought about it and realized that the Human Genome Project is too huge to be undertaken by our institute alone.

So, I don’t expect to have the lion’s share, as long as our unit can take the lead in the end.”

At the meeting two days ago, Wang Mengde only briefly introduced the plan.

At that time, he was still thinking of keeping this project at the Genetic Research Institute.

But when Wang Mengde reported to his superiors today, he became more and more frightened the more he listened.

Finally, they had to admit that their unit had no control over this plan, and even the health and family planning department might not be able to control it.

It is likely to be coordinated by the state and involve cooperation among multiple departments.

But the Genetic Research Institute is not without advantages. Wang Mengde is the deputy director, although it is only a figurehead.

Moreover, this plan was proposed at the Beijing Gene Research Institute, and their unit naturally has some advantages.

But he was still unsure, after all, this matter was too big, so he asked Wang Mengde.

“Director, I dare not say that our unit should take the lead in undertaking this project. After all, this project will definitely be of national level in the future, and it is also one of the most important projects.

But it will certainly take on heavy responsibilities.

Therefore, to participate in this plan, in addition to money and material resources, the most important thing is talent.

In our research institute, many promising talents have grown up in recent years.

Moreover, a large number of outstanding students are assigned here every year. They are the most proficient in genetic technology in China. "

Wang Mengde said with a smile.

A few years ago, in order to mass-produce the hepatitis B vaccine, he used gene editing technology.

At that time, it was taught to a group of people in the Genetic Research Institute.

After several years of growth, these people have become expert-level talents in China. Even internationally, they are among the top group.

"Oh, yes, why didn't I think of this question?"

After hearing what Wang Mengde said, Director Feng slapped his thigh happily.

Then, he thought again that this was also the credit of the young man in front of him. If he hadn't taught that group of talents in the Genetic Research Institute a few years ago, this matter would have been in jeopardy.

Thinking of this, he smiled and praised:
"Comrade Wang Mengde, this is all thanks to you. You have trained so many talents for the institute."

As it is still early for lunch.

Wang Mengde declined Director Feng's invitation and returned directly to the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

As soon as I sat down in the office, Mr. Pu came over.

"Sir, why are you here? If you have anything, give me a call and I'll go to your office."

Seeing the sweat on Pu Lao's forehead, Wang Mengde quickly stood up, helped him sit down, turned on the electric fan, and shook his head towards Pu Lao to fan him.

"Haha, I don't have anything to do, so I just want to take a stroll.

You went to report to your superiors. Is there any news about the genome project?"

"Sir, I have reported the general situation to my superiors. This matter still needs to be decided by them, but I estimate that it will most likely be approved."

"Well, that's good. I have a few old friends and some of their disciples. I'll introduce them to you when the time comes."
