Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

The father and daughter in the inner room whispered to each other for a long time. Just when Lin Zhengjun's patience was about to run out, the wooden door creaked open and a girl in her twenties came out.

When Lin Zhengjun looked up, his first impression of Gu Si Nian was that she was thin.

Her features were neat and beautiful, but she was too thin, and looked like a living skeleton, which made her eyes look particularly large.

And then there’s the paleness. Her face is so pale that you can see the blue capillaries beneath the skin, but it’s an unhealthy paleness caused by not seeing the sun for a long time.

Besides, his eyes were empty and dead, with few emotions. If he had any emotion, it was only a deep sense of alertness and fear, like an elk in the forest, alert to everything around it, ready to escape at any moment.

Lin Zhengjun stood up and said with a smile: "Sister Si Nian, I am Tang Xiaofu's lover. I heard her say that you took good care of her when she was a child, so I came to see you!"

"Ah? Xiaofu is married?"

Gu Si Nian was stunned and said sadly: "Yes, if you count it, she should be twenty years old now. Time flies..."

Lin Zhengjun took out a handful of White Rabbit candies from his pocket and said, "Sister Si Nian, I'll treat you to some wedding candy!"

Gu Si Nian hesitated for a moment before carefully extending her pale, skinny hand and whispering, "Thank you!"

When she stretched out her arm, the slightly short sleeve of her cotton jacket pulled back, revealing part of her wrist. The overlapping scars on it flashed by, but they were shocking.

When she committed suicide, her desire to die was extremely firm and strong!

"I feel relieved to see that you are doing well. I am going back to my hometown today. When I come to Yanjing again, Xiaofu and I will go play with you again!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

"Yeah!" Gu Si Nian nodded slightly.

"Professor Zhou Zhengjun, I'll see you off!" Gu Jianghe hurried out to see them off. After leaving the courtyard, Lin Zhengjun said, "Teacher Gu, Sister Si Nian's condition is very serious!"

"Yes, he attempted suicide twice. He has no appetite and doesn't want to go out!"

Gu Jianghe had tears in his eyes and sighed deeply, "I'm really worried. I can't be on guard. When I come back, I'll see a cold body..."

"Teacher Gu, Sister Si Nian is sick!"

"Are you sick?" Gu Jianghe was surprised.

"Yes, in ancient times it was a mental illness, and now it should be called depression and post-traumatic stress disorder." Lin Zhengjun said.

"There is academic research on this!" Gu Jianghe was surprised, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He asked, "Then, is there a cure for this disease?"

"Yes! And there are many precedents of cure!"

"Zhengjun, who can cure this?"

Gu Jianghe grabbed Lin Zhengjun's arm, holding it very tightly, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw!

Lin Zhengjun said: "Zhou Haiyang from Tiantan Hospital or Zhong Huainan, the director of 301 Hospital, both have some experience in treatment. If they give her some special medicine of fluoxetine, she should be able to be cured!"

Gu Jianghe's face suddenly turned gloomy and painful, and he sighed, "These doctors are all experts, and we ordinary people can't get in touch with them! Who should I look for to find them..."

Lin Zhengjun said: "Haha, Teacher Gu, what connections are you looking for? It's enough as long as I'm here."

"Zhengjun, how do you know them?" Gu Jianghe was very surprised.

In his opinion, Lin Zhengjun is quite talented and famous, but his network of contacts should be limited to the literary circle. How come he also knows people in the medical field?

Lin Zhengjun immediately told Zhou Haiyang and Zhong Huainan how he cured Song Zhilan and recommended fluoxetine.

Gu Jianghe could not help but stand in awe and said, "Comrade Zhengjun, you are so outstanding! You even know psychology!"

"Haha, I only know a little bit, and I just give them some inspiration. I can't say I'm a professional!"

Lin Zhengjun said sternly: "Teacher Gu, there is no time to lose. Let's go to my grandfather's office now. I will call Zhong Huainan and ask him to treat Gu Si Nian in time!"

"Oh, that's great! Zhengjun, how can I thank you?" Gu Jianghe said with a grateful look on his face.

The three of them hurried to the office building where the School of Mechanical Engineering was located.

The office is very simple, with a bookshelf filled with various books, and drawings and teaching instruments on the desk.

Lin Zhengjun took out the phone book, found the number, and called Zhong Huainan. The call was quickly connected.

Zhong Huainan's voice was still tired: "Hello, who is this?"

"Teacher Zhong, I'm Lin Zhengjun."

"Hey, Zhengjun, where are you?" Zhong Huainan's emotions suddenly rose.

"I'm in Yanjing, filming a movie at the Beijing Film Studio!"

"Okay, I'm looking forward to the release of your movie. You're a very busy man, so why did you think of calling me?"

"I have a patient here..."

Lin Zhengjun told Zhong Huainan about Gu Si Nian's situation. Zhong Huainan felt very sympathetic and sighed, "Alas, another tragedy in the world!"

“Do you have time for treatment?”

"Since you are my friend, I have to make time for you even if I don't have time!" Zhong Huainan said with a smile, "Come over as soon as possible!"

"Okay, thank you very much!" said Lin Zhengjun.

"What's the relationship between us? Why are you being so polite to me? You have to bring the person here in person. I want to drink with you again!" Zhong Huainan said with a smile.

"Oh, Professor Zhong, it really can't work this time. I have to go home. I didn't buy a train ticket, and I planned to take the Yanjing Department Store's bus to go back to my hometown for the New Year!" Lin Zhengjun said apologetically.

"You are such a dishonest boy. You didn't even look for me when you came to Yanjing and you don't treat me as a friend! I am very angry!" Zhong Huainan said jokingly.

"I'll probably come to the Beijing Film Studio next spring or summer!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile, "Then I'll drink with you!"

"You must find me! I will arrange an event and introduce you to several military leaders. Don't forget that you promised me that you would write a novel reflecting the counterattack against Vietnam!" Zhong Huainan said.

"Okay, okay! I will definitely not forget it!" Lin Zhengjun chatted with Zhong Huainan for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

"Teacher Gu, you can take Sister Si Nian to see a doctor tomorrow. Just find Zhong Huainan, the director of the 301 Hospital, and tell him my name!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

"Thank you, Zhengjun. I, I really don't know how to repay you!" Gu Jianghe was so excited that he bent his knees and knelt down to Lin Zhengjun.

"Oh, Teacher Gu, you are embarrassing me! It's just a piece of cake!" Lin Zhengjun hurriedly helped Gu Jianghe up.

"Old Gu, you can't do that. Zhengjun is the junior!" Zhou Shoucheng also advised.

Gu Jianghe wiped away tears and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, Zhengjun and I really met by chance. Last time I gave him money, he refused to take it, but this time he helped me out so generously..."

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "Teacher Gu, people who have been caught in the rain know how to hold an umbrella for others. I was once wrongly classified as a descendant of the landlord class. I was depressed and struggled on the edge of suicide..."

Lin Zhengjun's words were half true and half false. He was classified as a descendant of a landlord and was quite decadent, but he did not become depressed.

What really made him depressed was the tragedy of Tang Xiaofu and his family in his previous life.

Gu Jianghe smiled with emotion and said, "Zhengjun said it very well. People who have been caught in the rain know how to hold an umbrella for others. Professor Zhou, you should find a good son-in-law!"

Lin Zhengjun thought to himself that there are people who have been caught in the rain and they like to tear up other people's umbrellas. Some people just like to harm others without benefiting themselves.

Zhou Shoucheng smiled proudly and said, "Haha, if you praise me for something else, I will be modest, but if you say this, I will not be polite! My grandson-in-law is indeed an outstanding young man!"

After leaving the office, Gu Jianghe went home to take his daughter to the 301 Hospital for treatment, while Lin Zhengjun and Zhou Shoucheng returned to the Zhou family.

He Sheng has left. He was indeed very busy with work, especially at the end of the year, when he was even busier and cases of theft and robbery occurred frequently.

Tang Xiaofu immediately asked with concern: "Zhengjun, how is Sister Si Nian?"

Lin Zhengjun sighed, "It's really serious. He's become a little autistic and doesn't want to see anyone. When he committed suicide, his will to die was extremely strong!"

Tang Xiaofu asked: "So what? Is there any treatment available?"

Lin Zhengjun said: "To be honest, I can't say to what extent this kind of severe depression can be cured!"

"But Zhong Huainan promised that he would do his best!"

Tang Xiaofu felt a little relieved and said, "With Zhong Huainan's help, there should be great hope for a cure, or at least some relief!"

Lin Zhengjun looked at the time and wanted to leave, so he said, "Grandpa and grandma, we have to go. The truck from the supply and marketing company that is going to Hewan to pick up goods is about to leave!"

"Okay, say hello to your parents and relatives for us, and welcome them to visit Yanjing when they are free!" Zhou Shoucheng did not force Lin Zhengjun to stay, and the whole family saw him off.
