Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 437 Happiness
Li Yancheng turned his head to glance at his wife in the passenger seat, saw the distressed look on her face, and smiled and reached out to pat her leg.

"I didn't write it for nothing this time. I got paid for it."

"It's about money. I'm worried about your health." Luo Min rolled her eyes at her man with some dissatisfaction.

Although she knew that her husband was in good health, she still felt distressed every time she saw him staying up late, especially that day when she saw that her husband had white hair, although there were only a few.

“Is there a time limit for you to write this textbook?”

Luo Min stretched out his left hand and placed it on the big hand on the gear lever.

"Of course it has to be as soon as possible, but don't worry, I have nothing to do during the day, so I can write in the office and not stay up late at night."

Li Yancheng also knew that his wife was worried about his heavy workload, so he smiled and held the little hand with his backhand.

"Well, even though you are a doctor, you still have to take care of your health. You are already forty, not in your twenties. Even if your health is good, it will start to decline."

"Hey, honey, look at what you said. You should be the one who knows if my body has changed since ten years ago. As long as I'm at home and don't work overtime that night, I only take a few days off a month."

What responded to him was Luo Min's continuous rolling of eyes and slightly red cheeks.

Although she has been married for more than ten years and is the mother of two children, she still feels shy every time her man says such obscure "dirty words", especially in broad daylight. She only feels a little better at night when the lights are turned off at home.

Li Yancheng likes to see his wife's shy look and likes to tease her whenever he has nothing to do.

As the topic changed, the matter of his increased workload was temporarily put aside. Luo Min definitely did not forget about it, she just knew that in such official matters, she could only complain at most. It was impossible for her not to do the work assigned by the organization.

Glancing at her husband who was driving, Luo Min's heart was filled with happiness.

She felt that the wisest and most correct decision she had made in the first thirty years of her life was to marry this man.

In the eleven years since we got married, she has never suffered any hardship at home or outside, whether in work or in life.

My brother-in-law treats my sister pretty well, and my second brother treats my second sister-in-law pretty well too. But it depends on who you compare them with. Compared with outsiders, they are indeed okay, but not compared with my own husband.

Even Mr. and Mrs. Luo often say that their little girl is a simpleton with good fortune.

The two elders had absolutely nothing to say about their little girl's luck.

At that time, the old man had just gotten into trouble and others didn't even have time to hide for fear of being implicated. Although the old man's old comrades-in-arms had been trying to find a solution, the situation at the time was that they had a hard time protecting themselves, let alone helping the Luo family.

If Li Yancheng hadn't accidentally caused a lot of problems over there, the Luo family would have definitely suffered a lot.

When nothing was clear at that time, he dared to secretly get married to the young girl of the Luo family, and even took the opportunity of a business trip to visit the Luo family.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. This is not just a casual saying.

The old man has been rising higher and higher in recent years, especially after Li Yancheng constantly instilled in him the benefits of economic development, he changed his conservative ideas and gained more support from that person.

It’s not that Mr. Luo has never thought about supporting his young son-in-law, but he really can’t do anything about the path Li Yancheng is taking now.

Just like the public security system, in a highly professional functional department like the Social Affairs Bureau, if other people are not the responsible leaders, they can only make suggestions in certain aspects at most. If they want to intervene, there will be problems.

Mr. Luo also knew that his son-in-law might not be able to leave the Public Security Bureau and the Social Security Bureau in his lifetime. Although he is now in a high position and has great power, he cannot do things that violate certain rules. He can only find ways to make his son-in-law's future path smoother.

Mr. Fang talked to Li Yancheng today and wanted him to go to the grassroots level for training for a few years. This is to pave the way for him. Of course, it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to go. This is not the only way that Mr. Luo has found for him.

While the couple was talking, the car had already arrived at the gate of No. 20 Meishan East Hutong. They parked the car and walked into the yard amid the greetings of neighbors.

School was over at 5:30 with cheers and laughter. When they came back, the brother and his sister were lying on the stone table in the backyard doing homework.

Seeing her parents coming back, the little girl dropped the pen in her hand, ran over, and jumped up when she was two steps away from her father.

"Mom and Dad"

"Oh my little baby..."

Li Yancheng reached out and hugged his daughter as she jumped up with her arms outstretched. This was a little game they often played together.

After being hugged by her father, the little girl leaned over and kissed her mother, then turned around and kissed her father again, giggling.

Huansheng put down his pen, stood up, said hello to his parents, and then sat down again to continue doing his homework.

Finish your homework before eating, so you can have fun peacefully after dinner.

The seven-year-old girl is almost 1.4 meters tall, much taller than her peers. She is about the same height as her brother's classmates. Similarly, the ten-year-old Huansheng also stands out among her peers.

On the one hand, both children inherited Li Yancheng's height gene, and the most important thing is that they have enough nutrition.

There were not many kinds of dishes available in those days, and there were no out-of-season vegetables, let alone meat, eggs, and milk that needed to be purchased with coupons. Therefore, people of this era were generally not tall, and there were even fewer fat people, especially those who had survived those three years. City dwellers were still better off, but people in the countryside were not even that good. There was not enough food to eat, let alone nutrition.

Li Yancheng is here and Zhu Yongyang often sends him some scarce daily necessities. Under normal circumstances, when he takes his grain book to the grain and oil store to buy monthly rations, the grain is 30% fine grains and 70% coarse grains. It has been better in the past two years, when he can use all the money to buy flour and rice.

Because of Zhu Yongyang, the Li family has been eating flour, rice, and meat.

In addition, Li Yancheng often had to travel on business, which required national food coupons. Every time he arrived at a place, he would find someone to exchange the national food coupons for local food coupons. This way he could get more and deal with the rest when he left.

In this way, he could earn a lot of extra money going back and forth, and ask Lao Zhu to help him get some eggs, milk powder and the like. The children's nutrition was definitely sufficient in that era.

After putting the little girl who had thrown herself into his arms on the ground and letting her do her homework, Li Yancheng washed up and walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Within two minutes, Luo Min followed him in.

Although the food she cooks now is still hard to swallow, she has no problem helping out. She also likes to help her man with small favors within her ability and likes the atmosphere of cooking and doing housework together.

Two people were busy with their hands and talking about something interesting. Outside the kitchen, two children were quietly doing their homework. An atmosphere called happiness was slowly flowing over the courtyard of No. 20 Meishan East Hutong.

...At 7:30, the news broadcast had just ended and Zhu Yongyang came on time.

After dinner, the two children went out to play with other children in the alley. Luo Min also went out for a stroll after making a pot of tea, leaving some space. Just now during dinner, Li Yancheng said that he had something to discuss with Lao Zhu in the evening.

"Here, Dacheng, have a cigarette."

Looking at the cigarette handed to him by Zhu Yongyang, Li Yancheng smiled, took it in his hand and gestured with the cigarette.

"You are becoming more and more high-profile now."

Looking at that half-smile expression, Lao Zhu's heart couldn't help but tighten.

"Dacheng, is it..."

"Is it something?"

Before Zhu Yongyang could finish his words, Li Yancheng interrupted him.

"I heard that you go to Lao Mo's for a meal whenever you have time. You have money, so it's normal for you to have a good meal with your wife and children, but..."

What I fear most is the word "but".

After being interrupted by Li Yancheng, Lao Zhu stopped talking and just listened attentively without even lighting the cigarette in his hand.

He knew that since this old classmate called him over, he must have something to say. No matter what, he was doing it for his own good, so he just had to listen.

Even though he knew that there must be something going on when he was called here today, his heart couldn't help but beat wildly after hearing the word "but".

The Lao Mo that Li Yancheng mentioned is a restaurant, a Russian-style Western restaurant that opened in 1959. In the early days, its main customers were experts from the Xiong country who came to China to help, ambassadors to China, and intellectuals who returned from studying in the Xiong country.

In the 17th year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was renamed Beijing Exhibition Hall Restaurant. The knives and forks on the table were removed, and the Russian meal was turned into Chinese food. It was not until the 27th year after the founding of the People's Republic of China that it regained its former elegance and tranquility, but the name was not changed back to its original name, but people in Beijing were used to calling it Lao Mo.

Let’s not talk about how the food in the restaurant tastes, the price is really expensive. The money a family of three spends on a meal here is the same as the cost of cooking at home for a month.

Nowadays, Lao Mo is not like before. As long as you have money, you can go in and eat. But ordinary people will not spend a month's food money just to satisfy their cravings.

Therefore, those who can eat there are either those who don't have to pay for their own meals, or those of certain generations. Lao Zhu would bring his wife and children to Lao Mo for dinner every now and then, or he would invite someone with a relationship that he needed to maintain to have a meal with him. There was no waiter in the restaurant who didn't know him.

The fact that he went there so often proves that he is rich, but his money cannot withstand scrutiny. If we really want to deal with him, we can kill him without even finding a reason.

"Old Zhu, I know you have saved up a lot of money over the years. Although you spent 20,000 yuan after the last incident, you have quietly continued to deal in those large quantities of scarce materials in the past two years..."

Hearing this, Zhu Yongyang's face turned pale and he opened his mouth to say something, but Li Yancheng did not give him a chance to speak and raised his hand to signal.

"You don't have to explain anything, Lao Zhu. You don't think that no one will find out because you are doing it more carefully than before. You have done it twice in the first half of this year. There are so many unplanned materials. If you really want to check, how can you not find out where those things ended up and through whose hands they were transferred."

The more he listened, the paler Lao Zhu's face became.

He thought he had done it secretly enough, but he didn't expect that coming out of his old classmate's mouth would be like walking in the hot sun.

In fact, this was also Li Yancheng trying to scare him.

If you want to find out where the unplanned materials have gone, you can definitely find out, but it depends on who is doing the checking.

There are stakeholders involved in every link of the flow. If you pull out the radish, you will bring out the mud. It is not so easy for ordinary people, even if they are from the police or the Supervisory Commission, to get to the bottom of it. In the end, they may still find nothing because there are too many links.

If you really want to check it clearly, you can go to the Social Affairs Bureau.

This is also the reason why the higher-ups don't allow the Social Affairs Bureau to have more dealings with the local authorities. If these two sides collude with each other, it will be bad news.

Li Yancheng frightened this old classmate just to make him stop, so as to avoid being swept in and shot. If that really happened, not only would he be shot, but his property would also be confiscated. How would a widow with three sons live?

"Da...Dacheng, is it... is it that someone is targeting me again?"

Because an incident happened more than two years ago, when Li Yancheng said this again, even Zhu Yongyang, who had experienced a lot in recent years, panicked and his voice trembled.

Although he has been doing quite well in recent years and has a lot of brothers under him, it is no exaggeration to say that he has the support of a hundred people if he calls for help. He is definitely a well-known figure in the underworld.

But what happened more than two years ago made him realize that in the eyes of certain generations, his power was like a child playing house.

Dealing with him doesn't take much more effort than stepping on an ant.

Li Yancheng didn't say anything, but used the kerosene lighter to light the cigarette in his hand.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhu Yongyang felt even more unsure, and hurriedly explained: "Dacheng, it's not that I don't listen to you, but I couldn't refuse the two orders I did in the first half of the year. My wife's unit is going to build a staff housing unit, and their leaders..."

"Old Zhu, I know everything you said."

Before Zhu Yongyang could finish his words, Li Yancheng took over.

"Let's not talk about the past. We are old classmates, and you have helped me a lot over the years. I tell you this because I just don't want to see you fall into it again."

"I understand. I know you are doing this for my own good. I promise you that no matter who comes to me in the future, I will never help them with this again."

"I came to you today to talk about not only your secret dealings in bulk materials, but also your dealings in various bills and scarce daily necessities. If you can stop, you'd better stop."

After hearing these words, Zhu Yongyang just stood there in a daze.

Li Yancheng had advised him before not to do this anymore. He had earned a lot of money over the years and should live a down-to-earth life.

But he was used to making money with a sled, and he couldn't bear to earn only a few dozen yuan after working for a month.
