Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 6

Li Yancheng was swaying all the way and didn't know when he fell asleep. He was finally woken up by the ticket inspector.

"Hey, comrade... comrade... wake up, we've reached the terminal."

"Hmm...ah? We're already here!"

He opened his eyes dazedly and looked around. Except for the ticket inspector who called him, even the driver was gone.

"I'm sorry to have wasted your time."

The ticket inspector said that she was used to it, and this person knew to be polite when he was called. She had even encountered someone who cursed at her when she was woken up.

He quickly stood up and walked towards the car. After taking two steps, he stopped, turned around and asked, "Comrade, may I ask you, what time do we leave this afternoon?"

"Three o'clock, still here, just get on the bus and buy a ticket then."

"Thank you!"

The car was parked on the side of the road. After getting off the car, Li Yancheng turned around and looked where the bus stop was. Then he walked over.

Twenty minutes later, after a whole morning of running around, he finally stood at the entrance of the alley leading to his home.

"Hey, Dacheng is back?"

"Hello, Uncle Guo!"

"Do you need to go to the countryside again?"

"I just came back to do something and I have to leave soon."

As soon as I reached the entrance of the alley, I ran into an acquaintance.

Li Yancheng has lived in this alley since he was brought home by the old man at the age of three. Everyone knows each other except those who moved here during the years when he was serving in the army.

"Since you have to go, just go and do your thing."

"Okay, I'll be leaving first, Uncle Guo."

"go quickly."

After talking to Uncle Guo for a few words, Li Yancheng's homesickness that had just arisen in his heart disappeared. After waving his hand, he quickly walked towards home.

It was almost eleven o'clock now. The office closed at twelve o'clock and reopened at two o'clock, and he had to rush to the front door at half past two at the latest.

He walked along, greeting familiar neighbors, and soon arrived at the yard where he lived, No. 20, Meishan East Hutong.

This is a two-story courtyard house, covering an area of ​​more than 300 square meters. There are only four households living in the entire courtyard, and all of them moved in before liberation.

Due to area constraints, there are only two rooms in the front yard, the back house and the west house.

A family lived in these two rooms. The husband's surname was Zhao Zhong, who was in his early forties and worked at the Second Radio Factory outside Guangqumen. His wife was Wang Chunju, who worked at the street-level glove factory. They had three sons.

The eldest brother is Zhao Mingliang, he is 20 years old this year. After graduating from high school, he was arranged to work in the district transportation company. This is his third year as an apprentice. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to become a regular employee next year.

The second child is Zhao Mingjun, he is seventeen years old, and he should have graduated from high school this year, but now the school is suspended and it is not known when it will resume.

Li Yancheng had some impression about this paragraph. He remembered that his father had said this in his previous life. It seemed that classes would resume next year, and then there would be an unprecedented six classes graduating together from junior high school to high school.

Because there were too many graduates at once, there were simply not enough jobs to be arranged, which caused a huge employment crisis, so these students basically became educated youth. The third child of the Zhao family was Zhao Mingming, who was only twelve years old and had not yet finished elementary school.

When Li Yancheng walked into the yard, the boy was crawling on the ground with two other kids from the alley and playing with throwing dumplings.

When they saw him come in, the three children stood up. Two of them called Dacheng "Brother" and one called him "Uncle".

Each of them was given a piece of gummy candy, and it made the three of them snort.

Walking through the hanging flower gate into the backyard, there are three families living in the backyard. The main house and the west wing now belong to Li Yancheng.

The two rooms in the east wing were originally occupied by a family of four, a couple with a son and a daughter. The son's name is Cai Fangchao, who is two years younger than Li Yancheng. They got married this summer. The couple both work in the post office.

Cai Yihe, Cai Fangchao's father, was transferred to the Yangchao District Post Office as deputy director in September. When he went there, he took his wife and young daughter who had just entered junior high school with him. The two rooms here are now occupied by the couple.

The west wing also has two rooms, and now it is occupied by my brother, sister-in-law, and younger sister.

His elder brother’s name is Jin Zhihai, and he is about the same age as Li Yancheng. His father died in the line of duty in the tenth year after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and he took over and joined the Public Security Bureau. He is now a police officer at the Meishan Police Station in this area.

His wife is Xing Lihua, and she works in a department store.

My younger sister’s name is Jin Wenning. She is twelve years old and is a classmate of Zhao Mingming from the front yard. She is also on suspension from school and is at home.

As for their mother, she gave birth to the little girl smoothly. However, who would have thought that she suddenly started bleeding heavily two hours after giving birth and ultimately could not be saved.

As soon as Li Yancheng walked into the backyard, the door curtain of a room on the west wing was lifted, and a little head popped out. It was the little girl Jin Wenning.

After seeing who came in, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she jumped out of the house and ran to him.

"Brother Dacheng, you're back."

"I came back to do something. I have to leave soon. Where's your brother?"

"They have all gone to work. There are only me and Zhao Mingming from the front yard left in the whole yard." When the little girl heard Li Yancheng say that they had to leave soon, her mouth pouted immediately.

In the memory inherited by Li Yancheng, this little girl has been particularly attached to him since he came back from the army. He didn't know why, but she was only five years old when he left for the army.

Even though he is only twelve years old, he is not short at all, at least 1.6 meters tall, and...

Taking a closer look at the graceful little girl standing in front of him, Li Yancheng suddenly discovered that this child looked somewhat like the childhood photo of Liu Baozi that he had seen on the Internet in his previous life.

Of course, it has nothing to do with that family. This girl is older than Liu Baozi's mother, and she is a genuine Beijinger.

But it is said that girls change a lot when they grow up. This girl is pretty and cute now, I hope she doesn't become crooked as she grows up.

Li Yancheng smiled and reached out to gently scratch the tip of the girl's nose: "What are you going to do for lunch? Do you want to go out with me?"

"Okay, okay." The little head nodded like a praying mantis, and the little mouth that was originally pouting gradually closed into a grin. The two little fangs sparkled in the sunlight.

"I go to my brother's house to cook at noon now, and then my sister-in-law comes home to cook in the afternoon."

"Go, go back and put on your smock. I'll go into the house to get something. Then we'll go to the street office first. Then find a phone and call your brother to tell him that you won't be there for lunch."

"okay"

Watching the little girl jumping and running back home, Li Yancheng took out the key, opened the padlock on his door, pushed the door open and walked in.
