Chapter 763 764. Ways to Return to the City

March 1977.

In March on the Loess Plateau, the cold wind in the early morning blew through the window lattices, making the window paper rustle.

The cold wind blew into the cave through the window paper. Yue Wenxuan, who was sleeping, shuddered and suddenly woke up from his dream, slowly opening his eyes.

Everything in front of him was so unfamiliar: mottled mud walls, extremely simple wooden furniture, not-so-thick worn-out quilts, and worn-out window frames covered with window paper. Everything in front of him reminded him that he had entered a new world.

Yue Wenxuan closed his eyes again, and the memories of his previous lives soon merged completely with the memories of this life.

The original body was born in 1957, a few months before the age of 20. In this life, his family conditions were good, his parents were college graduates after the liberation, and he was now an educated youth who had been sent to the countryside for three or four years, so he appeared in this dilapidated cave.

His father in this life was a technician at a research institute in Kyoto and came from a noble family.

He originally had a bright future, but due to the burden of his wife, his technical level has remained the same in the past ten years, and his work unit has been transferred from the original confidential unit to the current ordinary research institute with a low confidentiality level.

There was nothing wrong with the original mother's background, but because of her overseas connections, she naturally suffered some shocks in the past ten years.

The original author's grandfather was a university professor before liberation. In the 1950s, he was invited by a university in Hong Kong Island. After some consideration, he took his family to teach at a university in Hong Kong Island.

At that time, the original body's mother was discussing marriage, so she did not leave with them.

Yue Wenxuan's mother in this life was proficient in English and French. After graduation, she was assigned to work in the Foreign Languages ​​Bureau. In the first ten years, she was highly valued by her leaders and her work went smoothly.

But because of his overseas connections, he was investigated many times during the most tense years, his job was adjusted many times, and he even became a cleaner for a while.

Fortunately, the result of the investigation was not too serious, so she was not sent to another place for labor education. Compared with those with similar situations, Yue Wenxuan's mother's situation was already very favorable.

In this life, Yue Wenxuan has four siblings, with an older brother and two younger sisters. The eldest brother and the third sister were also educated youth sent to the countryside, and only the youngest sister was still in school, always accompanying her parents.

The place where Yue Wenxuan went to work was a small village on the Loess Plateau. The conditions were very difficult. They grew crops on terraced fields and drank bitter water. The land was scarce and the yield was very low. One mu of land could produce less than 100 kilograms of wheat.

This small village called Tianshui Village has only more than 400 villagers in total. They never have enough to eat all year round, and there is a severe shortage of water. Even the drinking water is bitter. The name of the so-called Tianshui Village is totally untrue.

Although there is less than a year left until the resumption of the college entrance examination, Yue Wenxuan does not want to stay even a day longer due to such harsh living conditions.

Moreover, it was the first year that the college entrance examination was resumed, and the candidate's background and social connections still had a great impact on admission. Even if Yue Wenxuan scored a high score, he would most likely not be admitted.

For an ordinary educated youth, it would be extremely difficult to return to the city, but this was not a problem for Yue Wenxuan, the miracle doctor.

There are all kinds of medicinal herbs in his small world, so it is not difficult for him to prepare a medicine that can make him look seriously ill.

His consciousness entered the space and he quickly prepared a few pills, but he did not take them immediately.

It was not until dawn that the other people in the cave began to gradually wake up, and Yue Wenxuan took out a pill and swallowed it.

After taking the pill, Yue Wenxuan massaged several of his acupuncture points, which soon made him feel sick.

His face was pale, his breathing was rapid, and cold sweat began to slowly seep out of his forehead.

"Water...water...I want to drink water..."

Yue Wenxuan's voice was extremely weak. Although it was not loud, it was still clearly heard by everyone in this small cave.

Everyone who woke up turned to look at Yue Wenxuan. Yue Wenxuan's extremely weak appearance soon caught everyone's attention.

Tan Hongsheng, who slept next to Yue Wenxuan, was also from Kyoto. The two of them came to Tianshui Village in the same year and had always gotten along best.

He sat up and first felt Yue Wenxuan's forehead. He found that he didn't have a fever, and he felt much more at ease. "Wenxuan, wait a moment. I'll go get you a glass of warm water now."

Tan Hongsheng had just put on his clothes when Yue Wenxuan, who was lying beside him, suddenly struggled and shouted incoherently: "I can't breathe... It hurts... It hurts so much..."

Yue Wenxuan shouted a few words incoherently, and suddenly became silent and stopped struggling, as if he was in shock.

Tan Hongsheng was only a 20-year-old young man who had never seen such a situation before, and he immediately panicked. The other educated youth in the cave saw that the situation was not good, and they all gathered around, talking about various suggestions.

Soon, the educated youth confirmed that Yue Wenxuan must have fainted. Everyone became panic-stricken. Tan Hongsheng rushed out of the cave door and quickly called the village party secretary over.

The village party secretary checked Yue Wenxuan's condition and also had no good solution. Tianshui Village was just a small village, and there was not even a barefoot doctor in the village. In this case, they could only send Yue Wenxuan to the commune clinic.

Fortunately, Tianshui Village was not far from the commune, only seven or eight miles away. Yue Wenxuan was carried into a horse-drawn carriage and, under the care of the village party secretary and others, soon arrived at the commune clinic.

Although the doctor at the clinic was not very skilled, he quickly confirmed that Yue Wenxuan was suffering from a heart disease. After a simple treatment, he asked everyone in Tianshui Village to rush Yue Wenxuan to the county hospital.

The journey to the county hospital was long, more than thirty miles away, and everyone dared not delay for fear of wasting time and costing Yue Wenxuan's life.

It was almost noon when everyone finally arrived at the health center. After the doctor's emergency treatment, Yue Wenxuan finally woke up.

Yue Wenxuan was diagnosed with severe coronary heart disease. His life was in danger at any time during heart failure and he had to stay in the hospital for treatment.

Yue Wenxuan was still unconscious when he was sent here, so he naturally had no money or tickets on him. Fortunately, the village party secretary had thought of this long ago and had already advanced part of the money from the village's public account. In addition to the medical expenses that had to be paid, he also left some money and tickets for Yue Wenxuan.

Originally, the village party secretary wanted Tan Hongsheng to stay and take care of Yue Wenxuan, but he left in a hurry this time and the village had limited food coupons. The few food coupons handed to Yue Wenxuan were only enough for him to eat. If there was one more person, it would be unaffordable.

Due to the reality and the fact that Yue Wenxuan was already awake and repeatedly emphasized that he could take care of himself, Tan Hongsheng finally did not stay.

After watching everyone leave, Yue Wenxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After a detailed examination, it was found that Yue Wenxuan's coronary heart disease was very serious. The county hospital did not have any good treatment methods, so the doctor could only suggest that Yue Wenxuan go to a large hospital for treatment.

After staying in the hospital for one night, Yue Wenxuan's physical condition seemed to have recovered a little and he was able to walk on his own.

After the morning rounds, Yue Wenxuan accepted the attending physician's advice, stated his identity as an educated youth, and expressed his intention to go to a large hospital for treatment. He then asked the doctor to write him a detailed description of his condition.

With this medical statement, Yue Wenxuan can go through the procedures for returning to the city due to illness.

Not counting the twenty yuan left for him by the village party secretary, Yue Wenxuan's entire fortune amounted to only four yuan and sixty-five cents, not even enough for his fare back to Kyoto.

The original body's total assets should not have been just this much.

But the original body had a secret crush in Kyoto, and this person was a rather sophisticated green tea girl. She clearly looked down on the original body as an educated youth who had gone to the countryside, but she had always been distant with him. In their correspondence, she would always ask for benefits from him unnoticed. All the living expenses that the original body's parents sent him were spent on that green tea girl.

In this era, it is rare to find a Green Tea with such sophisticated means. After Yue Wenxuan learned about Green Tea's life, he felt that it had a lot to do with her living environment.

The green tea girl's name is Fu Shiting. Her biological father is a cadre. She originally had a very happy family, but Fu Shiting's father was taken away for labor ten years ago.

After suffering such a misfortune, Fu Shiting's mother chose to divorce her husband and later remarried a security officer of the institute who had lost his wife.

This security cadre has two biological sons. Living in such a reconstituted family, Fu Shiting's thinking will definitely change. Recalling the correspondence between the original body and Fu Shiting, Yue Wenxuan guessed that Fu Shiting did this because she wanted to help her biological father more.

Of course, no matter what Fu Shiting's difficulties were, Yue Wenxuan would not change his impression of her. Sooner or later, Yue Wenxuan would make her return the money and property she had cheated from her original body with interest.

Yue Wenxuan couldn't live a tight life, so the most urgent thing for him was to find a way to make some money.

His little world was filled with a variety of rich supplies such as rice, flour, grain, and oil. If he sold them on the black market, he could quickly earn a large sum of money.

But Yue Wenxuan didn't intend to do so.

For him, with the small world as a cover, there would be no danger even if he went to the black market, but the scale of the black market in the small county was limited, and he didn't know where it was, so it was too troublesome to do so.

Given his current situation, it would be simpler and more convenient to directly sell some of the medicinal materials.

The Loess Plateau is not rich in precious medicinal materials, so it is not convenient to take out ginseng, deer antlers, etc. The most suitable medicinal material to sell is still bezoar.

If it were in a big city, Yue Wenxuan would go directly to a large Chinese medicine store to sell bezoar, and the price would definitely be higher, but in a small county town, this condition obviously does not exist.

Chinese medicine stores in small county towns are small in scale and do not have the right to purchase precious Chinese medicinal materials on their own. The required medicinal materials are generally allocated by higher-level departments.

If Yue Wenxuan wanted to sell the bezoar in his hands, he could only go to the purchasing station to have a look.

Selling bezoar to purchasing stations is a formal sale channel and there is no need to worry about any trouble. The only thing that worries him is that the price will definitely be relatively low.

This is indeed the case. Yue Wenxuan specially selected several pieces of ordinary quality bezoar to sell. The inspector at the purchasing station lowered the price to an extremely low level, offering a price of only five yuan per gram.

Although the price was very low, Yue Wenxuan was in urgent need of funds and had no choice but to sell part of it.

The few pieces of bezoar he took out weighed about 200 grams, earning him 864 yuan in funds. He still didn't dare to sell too much, lest it would be too conspicuous. If someone reported it, it would cause a lot of trouble.

More than 800 yuan is a huge sum of money in this era. Yue Wenxuan should not have to worry about money for a long time in the future.

The original body has not had a full meal for a long time, let alone meat and nutrition.

Yue Wenxuan had his lunch in the small world.

After continuous replenishment in recent generations, the supplies in the small world have become extremely abundant. Industrial supplies may still be lacking, but all kinds of dishes and food are available.

Yue Wenxuan didn't dare to eat meat and fish for the time being, so he could only eat more eggs, milk, tofu and other nutritious foods. It wouldn't be too late to eat a feast after he had replenished his body.

When Yue Wenxuan returned to Tianshui Village, it was not yet three o'clock in the afternoon. He went directly to the village branch. It happened that the village branch secretary had not gone out to the fields, so Yue Wenxuan directly showed him the certificate issued by the doctor.

After reading it, the village party secretary sighed and said, "Xiao Yue, you are a good guy who can endure hardships. I really don't want to let you go.

But curing the disease is the most important thing. Nothing is more important than your health.

I'll write you a letter of introduction now. While it's still early, you can take it to the Youth League Office of the commune to get it stamped.

If everything goes well, you might be able to complete the formalities to return to the city this afternoon."

Some village party secretaries in some rural areas may take bribes, but this is only a minority after all. The vast majority of grassroots village party secretaries are shrewd and upright people. The village party secretary of Tianshui Village is such a person, which makes Yue Wenxuan feel very lucky.

It took another day the next day for Yue Wenxuan to finally complete all the procedures for returning to the city.

Yue Wenxuan has everything he needs now, but he used to be a penniless person. In the public's perception, it was already somewhat surprising that Yue Wenxuan could pay back all the medical expenses paid by the village collective before leaving.

Before leaving, the educated youths pooled their money and supplies to treat Yue Wenxuan to a sumptuous dinner. Although Yue Wenxuan wanted to return the favor, he could only put it aside for later.

As Yue Wenxuan's best friend, Tan Hongsheng accompanied him to the commune and told him many of his innermost thoughts along the way. Only until Yue Wenxuan got on an ox cart from the commune to the county town did he walk back, looking back every three steps.

After arriving at the county seat, Yue Wenxuan bought a ticket for the earliest train to the provincial capital, which would take about four hours. After arriving at the provincial capital, he could buy a ticket from the provincial capital directly to Kyoto.

After arriving in the provincial capital, Yue Wenxuan did not rush to take the train back to Kyoto, but first found a hotel to stay in.

During the four years in the countryside, Yue Wenxuan never asked for leave to visit his family because of the long journey. During these four years, suffering was not the most difficult thing, but not having enough food was the most painful thing.

In the original body's memory, in the long four years, he had only had a few full meals.

Now that he has finally left Tianshui Village, bid farewell to the endless farm work from morning to night, and bid farewell to the hard days when he could not fill his stomach even with coarse food, Yue Wenxuan plans to have a good rest in the hotel for a few days.

After all, he would have nothing to do after returning. For an educated youth like him who returned to the city, finding a job he liked was almost impossible.

He was not in a hurry to find a job. After all, the college entrance examination would be resumed in less than a year, and there was not much point in looking for a job now.

Although staying in a hotel is not very convenient, it is free and unfettered. When he returns home, he will be controlled by others. He is not short of money now, and he does not need to care about the accommodation fee of staying in a hotel, so he naturally does not have any psychological burden.

There is no shortage of all kinds of clothes and fabrics in Yue Wenxuan's small world. He threw away all the old clothes that were too worn out and only kept two sets of clothes without patches. Maybe they would be useful in the future, or he could give them to others.

The clothes in the small world were already available in various sizes. He chose the right size and changed into a brand new set of clothes from head to toe.

He did not choose high-end fabrics that were too eye-catching, but just a set of clothes made of ordinary fabrics. However, because the size fit him well, he still looked elegant after putting them on. He did not look like an educated youth returning to the city, but more like a scholarly and elegant student.

During these few days, the most important thing he did was to bribe the aunt at the hotel front desk with two pounds of beef jerky, and used her connections to buy a hard sleeper ticket from the provincial capital to Kyoto.

Yue Wenxuan was not very interested in department stores of this era, but he still wandered around when he had nothing to do and bought some local specialties that did not require a ticket.

He has already selected a suitable specialty in the small world, and mixed it with some items from this era to make it seem more authentic.

In the next two days, Yue Wenxuan watched two movies by himself, got a new hairstyle, and then carried two suitcases and boarded the train from the provincial capital to Kyoto in high spirits.

In this era, you don't need to spend food coupons to eat on the train, you just need to spend money. Yue Wenxuan basically eats in the restaurant. After a few days, his nutrition has finally caught up. Even if he eats some meat dishes, his body can bear it.

Being able to achieve meat freedom is definitely a huge surprise for Yue Wenxuan. This body is really craving for meat and he must nourish it well.

On the afternoon of March 18th, Yue Wenxuan finally set foot on the land of Kyoto.

Coming to the familiar capital again, Yue Wenxuan couldn't help feeling a little excited.

After changing two buses and getting off the bus, he finally saw the familiar compound in his memory again.

The institute's compound is just across the main road, making travel very convenient.

Yue Wenxuan arrived at the gate of the compound and was about to walk in when he was stopped by the guard.

Yue Wenxuan put down his luggage, took out a peony, handed it to the doorman, and said with a smile:

"Uncle Jiao, I'm Yue Wenxuan, my father is Yue Xuchu. I haven't seen him for four years. It seems you have forgotten me."
