1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 62 A dead horse becomes a live doctor
"Son, I heard that you saved the experts from the United States!" As soon as Dad Xia got home from get off work and entered the house, he couldn't wait to ask, without even putting down his bag.

Xia Tian was serving rice. His "bowl" was a little big, so he needed seven or eight more spoonfuls to fill it up.

"So, the foreigner was lucky and was rescued?"

"Yes, he's back. The doctor said it was thanks to the timely relief of the symptoms, otherwise it would have been very dangerous. He said it was some kind of myocardial spasm or something..."

"Well done, if it weren't for you, the factory would be in trouble now!"

Xia Tian nodded and started eating.

Mother Xia on the side looked confused: "Son, you can save people? What is myocardial spasm?"

Xia Tian: "...It's just a heart cramp."

"what!"

Xia Tian didn't take it seriously. As long as he survived, it would be great. It would be terrible if he failed on his first try.

……

What Xia Tian didn't expect was that he was suddenly called out of the class the next day.

Huh? I was found out for writing a novel in class?
No, this isn’t my first day writing it. I always get first place in the exams and the teachers have accepted it!
"Student Xia Tian, ​​this is the secretary of Shougang. He wants to talk to you about something." The principal said with a smile.

Students from our own school saved American experts, this deserves to be written about in a big way!

I'll find someone to write the slogan and then give you a certificate!
"Ah! Comrade, what do you want to talk to me about?" Xia Tian asked.

The comrade from Shougang held Xia Tian's hand tightly and said, "Xia Tian, ​​thank you for your contribution! American expert Mr. Pello wants to thank you personally..."

This is to pick up Xia Tian to go to the hospital.

It’s not even summer here yet, but the principal is already anxious - go quickly!
I didn’t expect that he would come here by car!
There aren't many cars in Yanjing City these days, and most of Shougang's vehicles are large transport trucks, with only a few jeeps. It's quite grand.

The comrade on the road was quite close to Xia Tian and they talked a lot.

"I've heard of you before. I heard that you're only 15 years old? I didn't expect that..."

After all, Xia Tian looks like he is already 17 or 18 years old. If he were really that old, he would probably have started working if he wasn't in school.

Xia Tian gave him a very good impression. Not to mention her appearance, she made a very good first impression and her speech, manner and behavior made people feel very comfortable.

It’s no joke that eating well in the summer is a big deal.

The driver looked at Xia Tian several times in the rearview mirror.

……

When he arrived at the hospital, Xia Tian didn't expect to meet the foreigner directly, but several staff members from the foreign affairs department.

They acted in a businesslike manner, first thanking Xia Tian for his contribution, then asking about Xia Tian's first aid techniques, where he learned them, his thoughts at the time, etc...

Ok?
I don't feel very comfortable in the summer. Did I save someone or did I do something evil? Why do you look like you are judging me?

Although I can understand that “there is no trivial matter in diplomacy” at this time, especially now that the reform and opening up has just begun, I haven’t done anything.

Besides, do you really need to be so solemn? Is this an expert? Is this the commander-in-chief?
"Young comrade, where did you learn first aid knowledge?" the staff member took notes on the side.

Xia Tian held back his thoughts and replied, "I have been seeing doctors since I was a child. I memorized the Barefoot Doctor's Manual and became a doctor after suffering from illness for a long time."

"Do you dare to rescue people just because you have read the book?" the other party questioned.

Xia Tian smiled: "Why not? If we didn't try it at that time, he might not have made it to the hospital. As for whether it would work... Americans are not human? Do they have physiological differences with us Chinese?"

At the end, the two foreign affairs staff members didn't seem very happy, but Xia Tian was too lazy to coax them.

He really had enough of this foreign God's attitude.

Afterwards, Xia Tian was taken to meet the foreigner.

The single intensive care unit was spacious and clean, and there was even a vase with a flower in it on the bedside table. The treatment was very high.

The foreigner was leaning on the bed. He looked to be in his forties, with short blond hair, a square face, a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets, a very typical European and American image.

Seeing Xia Tian coming in, he was about to get out of bed, but was stopped by the nurse beside him: "Mr. Pairo, you'd better not get out of bed now..."

"I'm sorry I can't greet you. That's rude."

The foreigner's Chinese is quite good. Although it has a bit of a strange accent, the words he chooses are very authentic.

Looks like he's an expert on China?
"You're welcome. Your health is important." Xia Tian said politely and sat down on a chair beside him.

"You guys chat, I'm going to the corridor to get some fresh air." The Shougang staff member who brought Xia Tian here gave the two space to chat.

He had just seen Xia Tian arguing with the two foreign affairs personnel with his own eyes. This was not the gentle and refined young man he had seen before!

"Thank you for saving my life! My name is Alexander Pilot, may I ask you something?" Foreigner, oh old Pilot, your Chinese is pretty good.

"Xia Tian, ​​my name is Xia Tian. You're welcome. I'm just doing my best..."

The foreigner had a good attitude and kept thanking me, which made Xia Tian feel better.

The conversation went smoothly and we talked a lot.

Xia Tian learned that this old Pai Luo was an expert in metallurgy, and that he came to China for exchanges to help Shougang optimize its production processes.

They are considered the first group of foreign scholars to come for exchanges after the establishment of diplomatic relations, and their superiors really attach great importance to them.

He had no history of heart disease, so this one came as a surprise.

He joked, "I suspect I was too greedy. After all, the braised pork was so tempting that I couldn't resist it!" Before he fell ill yesterday, Lao Pai Luo had a big meal of braised pork in the factory cafeteria, which made him feel sick. Then he visited the production workshop, and especially saw many workers sweating profusely in the steelmaking process, which made him very excited - he is a Zuo school.

As a result, after I walked out, I didn't go far before I was "broken" by excitement.

If it weren't for summer, I might have gone to God to make steel on the way to the hospital.

……

In this way, Xia Tian got to know Lao Pai Luo.

I don’t know if it was because of the life-saving grace or because people had a particularly good impression of Xia Tian, ​​but after that Xia Tian was often asked to “accompany” foreign experts.

Even Shougang's Director Zhou met with Xia Tian and personally gave him a "task" - to accompany the American experts!
Xia Tian secretly rolled his eyes.

But it was not without its benefits. Old Paul brought a lot of English books and a few American novels. I read a lot in the summer.

Li Weiguo was surprised: "You also know English."

Xia Tian nodded: "I understand a little bit!"

"For example, a dead horse becomes a living horse doctor~"

This English stunned old Pailuo.

Xia Tian smiled and said, "It can be understood as making every possible effort."

"Oh~" Old Pai Luo looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

Although I am considered an expert on China, Chinese is indeed profound and extensive.

The translator who was assigned by the factory laughed and joked: "Then let me test you... How do you translate 'A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated'?"

Xia Tian smiled evilly: "You can kill me, but you can not f@ck me."

translate:???
"Then what about helping the world when you are rich, and taking care of yourself when you are poor?"

“F@ck the world if you are rich, otherwise fuck the rich.”

The young translator's face turned green - who did you learn English from? !

Xia Tian: Self-taught~
Li Weiguo on the side asked: "How was his translation?"

The young translator forced a smile: "Very good!"

Old Palo on the side laughed out loud.

Xia Tian saved the American experts, which was more important than he thought. Some people even went to his home to interview him, but Xia Tian was not at home at that time.

It is said that the reporter also interviewed Xia’s good neighbor, Chunba Yang Qianli.

Reporter: "How is Xia Tian's behavior at home? What's your evaluation of him?"

Dad Chun: "Ah, Xia Tian! Very lively. When he was born, the doctor couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a girl because he jumped up a tree as soon as he was born! Hahaha~"

……

After a few days, Lao Pai Luo's work was almost done, and all that was left was "leisure time".

In the summer, I took him to the Friendship Store and walked around the alleys. We also visited the Great Wall - it had not been repaired in recent years and was quite dilapidated.

Since we were talking about Peking Opera, and Xia Tian was considered a semi-professional, he introduced it to Lao Pai Luo.

Old Pai Luo is very interested in Chinese culture, not to mention Peking Opera.

Xia Tian did teach him a few lines and even took him to buy tickets to watch a show.

After he came back, he begged Xia Tian for some oil paint and started to put on makeup.

"The blue-faced Dou Erdun stole the imperial horse, and the red-faced Guan Gong killed people on the battlefield!"

Old Pailuo shook his head and shouted in a weird voice. It didn't sound like he was singing Peking Opera, but more like rock and roll!
"Xia Tian, ​​what do you think?" he asked Xia Tian.

Xia Tian hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "Like the red-haired devils!"

"Hahaha~ Tian'er, this is a gift for you." Old Pai Luo took out a box.

"camera?"

In the summer, I saw Chinese characters on the packaging - Seagull 4A camera, Shanghai Camera Factory...

Old Palo put the camera into Xia Tian's hand: "I see you are very interested in my camera. My camera was given to me by my wife, so I can't give it to you. So I bought a Chinese one in the store..."

In addition to this camera, there are also three boxes of film!
Summer does have a strong demand for cameras. Usually, I only see Dad Xia taking a few photos when he is working.

"I can't accept this!" Xia Tian waved his hands.

This camera costs nearly 400 RMB, and you also need industrial coupons, plus three boxes of film.

According to the purchasing power of later generations, this is definitely over 10,000 yuan. Too expensive!

"Don't refuse! I'm leaving in a few days and this is a gift from a friend." Old Palo had done his homework and he even wrote the gift documents.

That’s right, you really can’t have everything these days, there are procedures.

"All right! Thank you, old Pyro."

"Haha, I hope you can mail me some photos! Let me see more of this charming country!"

Friends, it's the last day of this month, and the monthly pass is about to expire~
