Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

Two nights later, Zhang Dabiao came to Ji Denian's house carrying about ten pounds of smoked meat. "Uncle Ji, Uncle Yu, is this Uncle Lei?"

"Dabao, I'm grateful for your kindness. I'm Lei Huanian." Lei Huanian held Zhang Dabao's hand tightly.

"Uncle Lei, are you feeling better?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"Much better, Dabiao. If I couldn't control it, I would be finished. I have seen many patients with the same condition. In the end, they couldn't bear the pain and committed suicide. I have seen several of them commit suicide," said Lei Huanian.

Zhang Dabao knew that what he said was true. If hepatitis was not controlled, it might turn into cirrhosis and finally liver cancer, and the result would be death in pain.

"Da Biao, my second brother told you at that time that he has hidden good things, and I have them too. You can take a look at them later. Go to his house first, and take whatever you like. Then go to my house and take whatever you like. I will never regret it." Lei Huanian's voice was crisp, and he must be a man of temperament.

"I was pretty heavy-handed," Zhang Dabao said to the two men with a smile.

"I'm not afraid that it's heavy, I'm afraid that you won't take it." Lei Huanian also laughed.

"No mercy" everyone laughed after Zhang Dabao said this.

"Da Biao, that guy went to Sichuan Province, and the factory sent him to the train," said Yu Sinian.

"Uncle Yu, thank you so much. I'll get a sheep when I go to the countryside next time. I must thank the eighth-level chef in our hospital. He is an expert at stewing lamb." Zhang Dabao stood up and clasped his fists.

"Da Biao, don't stew the mutton. The weather is warm now, it's better to roast it," said Lei Huanian.

"Uncle Lei, you have to watch us when we eat meat. Given your physical condition, it shouldn't be suitable for you to eat greasy food, right?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"It's not appropriate, but you guys can just eat it while I watch it," Lei Huanian smiled bitterly.

"Da Biao, your second brother-in-law's sister is going to work after graduation. I told her at that time that if there is no suitable job, she can come to our post office. She graduated from high school, so it will be easier to recruit her," Lin Hua brought over a plate of fruit and said to Zhang Da Biao.

"I'll ask her later, she will definitely be happy to agree. Yu Shui's grades are not good and he has no hope of getting into university, so it's good for him to start working early. Aunt Lin, can we transfer another teacher to you?" Zhang Dabao thought of Wen Li who wanted to change jobs.

"There will be no problem with the transfer. Just bring her to my office when the time comes." Lin Hua agreed without even asking about the situation. It seems that as the head of the personnel department, she has considerable power.

Zhang Dabao drank a lot tonight. After dinner, he visited Jidenian's collection and took five Angong Niuhuang Pills from Tongrentang. He thought that he would buy some when he had time, because the Angong Niuhuang Pills now contain real bezoar.

After leaving Jidenian’s house, Zhang Dabao and Lei Huanian went to his house.

Lei Huanian lives on the main street of East 14th Street. He has a two-story courtyard and a family of seven or eight. Fortunately, Zhang Dabao still had some smoked meat in his car, otherwise it would have been a bit inappropriate to visit someone for the first time empty-handed.

After exchanging a few words with Lei Huanian's family, Zhang Dabao followed Lei Huanian to his collection room.

There were a lot of things, very miscellaneous, including collectibles, calligraphy and paintings, ancient books, lacquerware, and bronzeware, filling up the entire room. Zhang Dabao was interested in ancient books, so he focused on reading them.

Lei Huanian did not disturb him, but found a place to sit down.

After about an hour, Zhang Dabao selected two books and said, "Uncle Lei, these are the ones."

"Choose another place," said Lei Huanian.

"That's enough. I think it's enough. Uncle Lei's two books are very useful to me. Goodbye. I'll let you know after I get the sheep." Seeing that Lei Huanian had no objection to him taking the book, Zhang Dabao picked up the book, looked at the watch, it was almost ten o'clock, so he got up and said goodbye.

Zhang Dabao was very happy after coming out of Lei Huanian's house. These two books contained recipes for elixirs, which were useless to ordinary people, but for him, a cultivator of the fourth level of Qi Refining and the owner of an elixir furnace, it was like a timely help.

Zhang Dabiao looked at the time and it was past ten o'clock, so he did not go back to Courtyard 95, because Yan Bugui closed the shop at ten o'clock and did not wake him up so late. He still had to study, so he went directly to the small courtyard in Masi Hutong.

He read until dawn. The first book was a recipe for a life-extending elixir, called the Life-Extending Pill. The solution was to use the elixir to stimulate the last bit of life force in a person who was about to die. Most of the medicines used were heard of. But it was a useless recipe and would be difficult to test, Zhang Dabao thought.

The second book is about elixirs that increase spiritual energy, which are specially designed for practitioners. However, ten kinds of medicinal materials are needed, eight of which I have never even heard of. It seems that refining them will be even more difficult.

Let’s try the first one. In the afternoon, Zhang Dabao came to Tong Ren Tang, which has the most complete range of medicines, especially Angong Niuhuang Pills. Zhang Dabao wanted to buy more at one time.

Zhang Dabao divided the medicines needed for the prescription into five parts, bought two parts from Tongrentang, and bought the common medicines from other pharmacies, so that others could not judge what he wanted to do.

After buying the medicine, I learned that there was no limit on the purchase of Angong Niuhuang Pills, so I bought 100 pills directly, because there were only 100 pills left in the store today. Now it costs 5 yuan per pill, and most people won't buy it. In the future, it can be sold for 30W per pill. The key is that it can save lives. In fact, Ji De Nian is right. People like me who have died once cherish life especially.

After buying the medicine, I went to the car and prepared to go to the next pharmacy to continue buying medicine.

"Zhang Dabao," a young woman called him. Zhang Dabao turned around and saw that it was Bai Lu, the woman he helped catch the robber. He didn't expect to meet her here.

"Bai Lu, are you here to buy medicine as well?" Zhang Dabao asked. Actually, what else can people do here besides seeing a doctor and buying medicine?

"My mother is not feeling well. Let's get a doctor to check her out. What's wrong with you?" Bai Lu asked.

"I'm fine. I heard that Angong Niuhuang Pills are good, so I bought a few pills to be prepared. Are you not going to work today?" Zhang Dabao started chatting with Bai Lu.

Zhang Dabao is a young man with great spirit who has been influenced by the Internet. Although his views are very ordinary in 2023, they were quite unique in 1960. His perspective and depth in looking at issues were also very extraordinary.

"Da Biao, our Cultural Palace is now planning to create a revolutionary song. Can you help?" Bai Lu thought of a recent work problem.

"What aspect are you praising?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"Bai Lu, who are you talking to? Didn't I tell you not to talk to these messy people?" A middle-aged woman came out of the pharmacy and called Bai Lu, but what she said made Zhang Dabiao angry. What is a messy person? Didn't she talk about me?
