Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

After leaving the internal medicine department, everyone went to the infectious disease department to see Wei Hongqi’s wife Feng Xianzhi.

The doctor took one look at Feng Xianzhi's belly, which was bigger than a ten-month-old baby's, and said, "Schistosomiasis, and it has caused ascites!"

"Take praziquantel orally for a month to kill the parasites. Also, this liver ascites..."

He knocked on Wei Hongqi's wife's belly, which made a thumping sound like a ball, and said, "It's very serious. She needs surgery to drain the abdominal fluid. She also needs to take medicine to protect her liver after the surgery!"

"Surgery? How much will it cost?" Feng Xianzhi's voice trembled a little.

"One operation plus medical expenses and hospitalization fees will probably cost twenty dollars!" said the doctor.

Wei Hongqi let out a long sigh and said with a happy look on his face: "You scared me. I thought it would cost two hundred yuan, but it was only twenty yuan!"

"You are so arrogant. What's the matter? You don't care about twenty dollars anymore!"

Feng Xianzhi smiled and said, "My family originally owed the brigade several hundred yuan, and we also had foreign debts. We couldn't even borrow twenty yuan. Now I have money for the surgery, all thanks to Zhengjun!"

"Yes! Zhengjun is our family's savior!" Wei Hongqi looked at Lin Zhengjun with gratitude.

Soon, after paying the medical and surgical fees, Feng Xianzhi was pushed into the operating room, and the operation was completed in less than an hour.

Her belly became smaller, and she seemed like a different person. She felt relaxed all over, and a relaxed smile appeared on her haggard and sallow face.

Everyone worked together to place Feng Xianzhi on the hospital bed.

Tang Xiaofu went downstairs to the grocery store in front of the hospital and bought two bottles of malted milk and two bottles of brown sugar and placed them on the bedside table.

"Tang Zhiqing, I'm sorry to have cost you money again. I'll give you the money!" Wei Hongqi quickly took out the money.

"What money? There's not much money!"

Lin Zhengjun stopped him and said with a smile: "You stay with your wife in the hospital. I will let the members of the cooperative take turns to look after the three children. You can go home when Xianzhi is fully recovered!"

"But the production of our collective cooperative..." Wei Hongqi looked embarrassed.

He was concerned about the cooperative, but he had to take care of his sick wife.

"Don't worry! The production of canned yellow peaches has come to an end for now. We will start with producing sesame candies. The task is not heavy. Besides, nothing is more important than family!"

Lin Zhengjun smiled and patted his shoulder, then left with Tang Xiaofu and his parents.

"Zhengjun is a very nice person!" Feng Xianzhi said with tears in her eyes, looking at Lin Zhengjun's back.

"Ok!"

Wei Hongqi wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "In the Hewan Brigade, no one respects me. Only the general treats me as a human being! From now on, my worthless life belongs to him."

……

"Mom and Dad, let's go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner!" Lin Zhengjun said as he got on the tractor after leaving the People's Hospital.

"State-owned restaurants are so expensive! Let's go home and cook our meals, where they're delicious and cheap!" Zhang Shuqin immediately objected.

"It's almost twelve o'clock. Xiaofu and I are so hungry! We can't let ourselves suffer. We have to eat!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

"Then go!"

The couple had nothing to say. They could endure the hardship themselves, but they absolutely did not want their son and daughter-in-law to suffer.

When he arrived at the entrance of the North Street State-owned Hotel, Lin Zhengjun saw several police jeeps and sidecar motorcycles parked at the door.

After looking at the license plate number, Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "Dad and Mom, don't worry, you don't have to pay for dinner today!"

"What do you mean?"

The old couple was puzzled.

Lin Zhengjun has already walked into the restaurant.

He Jian, Bai Weiguo and more than 30 policemen and militiamen were seen toasting each other, playing guessing games and finger-guessing games. It was a lively scene!

There is no prohibition on alcohol now, and police officers are allowed to drink at noon.

He Jian was drinking happily. When he looked up and saw Lin Zhengjun coming in, he immediately slapped the table and said with a smile: "President Liang, if you mention the devil, he will appear. Your idol, Comrade Lin Zhengjun, is here!"

It turned out that the robbery gang had been arrested, and the subsequent interrogation would be handled by the Criminal Police Team of the County Public Security Bureau. The task force had been disbanded, and the seconded police officers and militia comrades would return to the team today.

To express his gratitude, President Liang Jinkui set up several tables for a celebratory banquet.

President Liang quickly stood up and greeted him. He grabbed Lin Zhengjun's hand with both hands, shook it, and said enthusiastically: "Comrade Zhengjun, you are really a heroic young man! This is your family, right? Come on, come on, sit down and eat together. I'm the host today, so we two brothers should have a few drinks!"

"This is..." Lin Zhengjun said.

"The president of the North Street Branch of China Construction Bank, Liang Jinkui!" He Jian said with a smile.

"It's President Liang! Nice to meet you!"

When Lin Zhengjun saw this, he smiled and said, "It looks like you caught those robbers?"

"Five, all in one go, all taken!" He Jian said with a happy smile.

Alas, the robber was caught, He Jian's fate was rewritten by himself, tragedy will no longer happen, Lin Zhengjun felt relieved!

After all, several decades had passed, and Lin Zhengjun only roughly remembered the time of the crime, not the exact date.

Fortunately, many years later in his previous life, he watched a “documentary of major cases” on TV and remembered that the robbers took advantage of the time when the wedding reception was held and the door cannons were fired to commit the crime. Based on this, he gave advice and asked He Jian to investigate it himself. Unexpectedly, he really caught the robber!

"Zhengjun, I shot three robbers! Call me sharpshooter!" Old Man Bai stretched out three fingers and said with a smile.

Lin Zhengjun pretended to be surprised and said, "Mr. Bai, you also participated in the arrest. Isn't this nonsense? What if something unexpected happens..."

"What I'm doing is called being brave and righteous. What nonsense! Only you are allowed to be brave and righteous, but I am not allowed to do so!" Bai Weiguo said with his neck stiff.

In a cheerful atmosphere, everyone invited Lin Zhengjun and his family to sit down. There were originally three tables, and now that Zhengjun had arrived, another table was opened. Bai Weiguo, He Jian and President Liang were personally there to accompany them!

The food came quickly.

During the dinner, everyone actively gave praise and self-praise, praising He Jian's command and dispatch, Mr. Bai's amazing marksmanship, and the heroic performance of the police and militia. Everyone was very happy.

Especially towards Lin Zhengjun, everyone was grateful and admired him, and came over with wine glasses to toast him.

As the head of the task force, He Jian will definitely get the credit, but everyone will also share the credit, such as receiving an advanced award from the county public security bureau or something.

Don’t underestimate these awards, they will be very beneficial for your promotion and job transfer in the future!

Lin Zhengjun can drink quite a lot, he accepted all the drinks and emptied the glass, winning warm applause from the police officers!

Many of them are retired soldiers, full of vigor and vitality, and they just like these real men who can drink!

Seeing that their son was so welcomed and even admired by these senior city officials, Lin Sanhuai and his wife were very happy.

After three rounds of drinking, Liang Jinkui picked up his glass and said with a smile: "Brother Zhengjun, let me say nothing else. I really want to thank you for this matter. If you hadn't reminded me in time, not only would I be in trouble, but someone in the security department might have died too!"

"Thank you so much. Our bank has just been established and we are in urgent need of talent. I would like to invite you to be the head of the security department of our bank. It's a regular position!"

Hearing this, Lin Sanhuai and his wife's eyes lit up and they were quite interested.

In this era, everyone has a superstitious belief in state-owned enterprises!

In their view, no matter how much money one makes from business, there are always risks, and it is not as reliable as working in a state-owned enterprise and getting a guaranteed salary.

County Construction Bank, that's a great unit that many people would try their best to get into!

Just look at President Liang, his face is chubby and fair. You can tell at one glance that he eats well and has never suffered.

Not to mention Lin Sanhuai and his wife, even the police officers and militiamen were shocked and envious.

China Construction Bank is one of the best companies in the county, with high salaries and good benefits. Ordinary employees can earn 50 or 60 yuan a month!

What’s more, Lin Zhengjun will be the head of the security department!

The security department at that time was not like the security guards in later generations, the five-star generals of Country Garden!

Instead, they have the status of cadres, which not only allows them to carry guns but also allows them to set up their own arsenal, which is similar to the work of police officers, but their work is not as busy and dangerous as that of police officers, and their income is higher!

This position cannot be bought with money. Lin Zhengjun has definitely risen to the top!

Lin Zhengjun smiled and shook his head: "Thank you President Liang for your kindness, but I am not interested in this, so I am sorry that I cannot obey your order!"

"Why? Security chief is just a starting point. You have attended high school and can do civilian work in the future..." Liang Jinkui's face immediately showed disappointment.

Everyone was also surprised.

Is this gentleman so indifferent to fame and fortune?

"President Liang, shut up!"

Seeing that he wanted to say more, He Jian stopped him: "Do you know how much money they made in less than half a month by producing hemp candy and canned yellow peaches in syrup?"

"How many?"

"At least this number!" He Jian stretched out two fingers.

"two hundred?"

"Guess again."

"two thousand!"

"Use your imagination and be bold!"

"Twenty thousand? No way, Brother Zhengjun is so good at making money?"

"It's at least 20,000!"

He Jian looked at Liang Jinkui with contempt: "He made 22,000 yuan just from the sale to Yanjing Department Store! He also made 10,000 yuan from the sale to the County Supply and Marketing Cooperative! The key is that there is still a lot of inventory that has not been sold. After selling all of it, I'm afraid he can make another 40,000 or 50,000 yuan!"

"Lao Liang, that's all you can do. Just be a branch manager your whole life. That's the end of it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell into dead silence!

Everyone was stunned by some astonishing figures!

Lin Zhengjun looked confused.

The Yanjing State Department Store came to the Hewan Brigade to make purchases, and He Jian was not present. How did he know about it?
