Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

"Well, he's married and has a wife... so he can't get divorced..."

Father Ding's voice became smaller and smaller.

Scholars should have dignity.

The affairs of scholars cannot and should not be stated so bluntly.

If you speak so bluntly, can you still be called a scholar?

"So don't think about taking shortcuts and achieving success overnight. You still have to rely on yourself. I can definitely get into medical school without his help."

"There is a huge gap between Baoding Medical College and Capital Medical College."

Ding Qiunan ignored her father's mumbling and stretched out her white little hand.

"Just now you said you received Director Xu's golden pill?"

"Girl, that's not medicine, that's my life..."

"I want money, just consider it as buying it from Director Xu, including this high-end ward..."

"We really can't afford the money for the premium ward."

One by one, the banknotes were placed in Ding Qiunan's hands.

"Not enough, not enough, how much is this? Where is the thirty yuan I gave you? Take it all out..."

After serious discussion, the father and daughter have now truly switched their offense and defense strategies.

Father Ding, who used to speak righteously, is now a little timid.

"That's all we have. We still have some savings for living. If we take it all out, we'll be hungry when we leave the hospital."

Ding Qiunan took the money in his hand and counted it, and only sixteen dollars and eighty cents were left.

It's only one dollar and eighty cents more than an apprentice's monthly salary.

The unit "kuai" is actually a verbal substitute for the unit of money "yuan". In the past, silver dollars and coins were used, one silver dollar, two silver dollars, and it was preserved through word of mouth.

"That's all. If it's not enough, you can pay it back later. I'll go talk to Director Xu."

Ding Qiunan saw Xu Damao as soon as she walked out of the ward, and walked up to him, clenching the banknotes in her hand.

"Director Xu, I have something to tell you."

As soon as Xu Damao raised his head, Ding Qiunan stretched out his white palm, with the stack of banknotes in his palm.

"Please take the money first."

Such a big hand is not even enough for two big black tens.

Although Xu Damao didn't care, since Ding Qiunan insisted, he had no choice but to accept it and put it in his pocket.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Director Xu, I appreciate your kindness. Thank you for your help. There are pills in this ward. You really helped a lot. You are a good person. I know this little money is not enough. This is also my token of my appreciation. When I make money in the future, I will definitely pay you back."

It turns out he was just here to give out nice guy cards.

This is indeed the normal development.

"It's okay. These are just small matters. They are not worth anything to me. Is there anything else you want to say?"

Ding Qiunan pondered for a while, and his hesitant look made Xu Damao feel a little conflicted.

"Is there anything else?"

"Also... don't take what my father just said seriously. It's impossible for us to do that."

After saying this, Ding Qiunan bowed to Xu Damao.

This made Xu Damao feel a little embarrassed.

"Gone?"

"My father was eager to let me go abroad. My grandfather told me some inside information about this. My father failed to get into the overseas school after three consecutive years of examinations. It was only during these three years that he got married and had me. Later, he sold his house, land, and even mortgaged his medicine shop to raise enough money to go abroad."

"I went to Japan and stayed there for more than ten years before coming back."

The so-called East Asia is actually Japan next door.

In the past, people called the Japanese "Little Dongyang", but this term soon disappeared from history, just like now people in the four provinces still call people in some regions "barbarians".

Oh, so you are going abroad at your own expense.

"and then?"

"Then I came back in a circle. Because I went abroad to study at my own expense and didn't learn much, and I was studying in the same country, I was a key target for supervision. At the beginning, the neighborhood committee would come to my house every week to talk, but now I can occasionally see some unfamiliar faces near my home."

This is difficult to comment on, and Xu Damao doesn’t know what to say.

I went abroad at my own expense, maybe because of insufficient budget, so I didn't go to countries that are too far away. But under the circumstances at that time... I still had to go to that kind of place. What was my specific thinking? There is no need to delve into it now.

Anyway, the person is back now.

"Gone?"

"There is one more thing... After he came back from studying abroad, let's just say he went abroad to study, because the Ding family had no male heir, my grandfather forced him to have another child. In the end, there was no way. If I have to say, my grandfather was in such good health, but he passed away just a few years after he came back. A big reason was that he was angry with him."

This is just like listening to gossip. You are not curious before you hear it, but after listening halfway, you want to hear the result.

Ding Qiunan was like telling a secret, and he had only told half of it, and he wanted to confide the rest as well.

"After my grandfather fell ill, he told me that my father had two children abroad, twin boys. He only had one wish in his life, which was to let the two Ding children return to their ancestral home."

Xu Damao:......

Xu Damao didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment.

Can’t have a child at home, is it because I have a pair of twin boys abroad?

Mr. Ding was a big shot when he was young.

Is this another form of bringing glory to the country?

"Director Xu, please don't tell anyone about this. My mother doesn't know about this. The reason I told you is that my father has always wanted me to go abroad. In fact, it is very likely that he wants me to go abroad to find his biological son who is stranded abroad... It's just that he doesn't know that I already know about this. He doesn't know that my grandfather told me about this."

Xu Damao:......

It really is true that reality is more exciting than fiction.

Ding's father knew, Ding Qiunan's grandfather knew, and Ding Qiunan knew too, but Ding Qiunan's mother didn't know.

Isn't this a case of people with the same surname banding together to bully people with different surnames?

After all, it is the mother in the family who bears everything.

"I guess he will tell me about this when he gets a place to study abroad. He cares so much about you because you can help me go to college and go abroad. He actually doesn't mind who I marry or whether I go to college or not. He just wants to see his twin sons again."

Haha, it’s another drama of favoring boys over girls.

At this point in time, out of ten families, at least five favor sons over daughters, and among the other five, three of them have sons as their first child.

If we want to completely change this phenomenon, we can only read more books and do more publicity. As long as everyone's cultural level is improved and we promote "gender equality" more in textbooks, we can subtly change this situation.

It will take at least two generations.

The more stable the society, the higher the status of women.

Moreover, after investigation and research, it was found that the behavior of favoring sons over daughters is not only caused by fathers, but mothers and grandmothers also play an important role in it.
