Qian Shulan rushed to the provincial capital's large hospital and asked the nurse to find the ward.
Sun Daqin had already had surgery three days ago, and the doctor needed to observe the patient's postoperative condition. The wound healed well in the past three days, and no abnormal symptoms appeared.
After Qian Shulan arrived, she paid the hospital's chef to help process the wild boar meat in her space.
Although the pork was a little different, Qian Shulan still took it out. If they had any doubts, she would say that the chefs here were good at cooking.
Maybe because the ingredients are all from the public, the hospital chefs are willing to use oil and sauce when cooking. Plus, their cooking skills are really good, and everyone who has eaten it thinks it tastes good. No one doubted her words.
It wouldn't work at home. She cooked home-cooked meals. Although her cooking skills were okay, they were still far inferior to those of professional chefs. In addition, she didn't have any extra ingredients. The dishes she cooked were all original and you could tell something was wrong the moment you ate them.
So Qian Shulan didn't dare to take it out. This time it was a surprise for her. Finally, she could eat wild boar meat from the Xiuxian world again.
Qian Shulan opened the aluminum lunch box on the bedside table, poured a bowl of porridge for Sun Daqin, and said with a smile, "You just had surgery, and the doctor said you can't eat greasy food, so I cut off the fat part and fried it again. This lean meat porridge can nourish your body."
Sun Daqin took it and thanked him hurriedly.
Qian Shulan helped her stand the pillow upright and place it behind her.
Then he handed the fried fat meat to Qian Weihan and Zhou Xuemei, and asked them to take it outside to eat. There were benches outside in the corridor where they could sit, but there was nothing inside.
Sun Daqin felt bad that her mother-in-law was still here, "Mom, you should go and eat too. I don't need anyone to look after me."
Qian Shulan smiled and shook her head, "I'll eat later." Then she urged her, "Eat quickly, before it gets cold."
Sun Daqin was so moved that she wiped away her tears.
A middle-aged woman in her thirties on the bed next to him looked at the scene and said with a smile, "Big sister, this is your mother, right?"
Sun Daqin was stunned for a moment, and proudly told her, "This is my mother-in-law." After that, she ignored the other party's shocked expression and tasted a mouthful of porridge. It was still hot and tasted really good. Thinking of what the fourth brother's wife said before, the meat here is really hard to buy. Sun Daqin guessed that her mother-in-law must have spent a lot of thought to buy this meat!
At this moment, the filial piety value on her forehead rose to 10 points.
Qian Shulan was very satisfied. But she wasn't that noble. She had already eaten. She always asked the kitchen to cook two or three kilograms of food. She always divided it in half.
Half of it was given to them to eat. After she was full, she put the rest into the space to eat later.
Because there were so many people watching at home, everyone could see her if she moved.
But there weren't so many people watching her outside, and no one in the provincial capital knew her.
The next day, Sun Daqin was discharged from the hospital. She had good food and her wounds healed quickly. The beds in the big hospitals in the provincial capital were very tight. Even with Qian Weihan's connections, they couldn't occupy the beds for too long.
This time they were luckier. While Qian Weihan was wandering outside, he found a truck driver who could take them back.
Qian Weihan stuffed some things into the driver's pocket and laid a few layers of thick mattresses on the back of his empty car. It took a lot of effort to get these things.
Qian Weihan sat in the driver's seat, while Qian Shulan, Sun Daqin and Zhou Xuemei squeezed in the back, wrapped in military coats and huddled together for warmth.
Although it is good to have a car, it is a truck with an open top at the back, and it is also very cold.
Fortunately, they were wearing five-star cotton hats, which were later called Lei Feng hats, but they are not called that name now.
Along the way, Qian Weihan chatted with the driver about all sorts of things. The driver, who was less than 50 years old, had a strong admiration for soldiers, and when he chatted with Qian Weihan, he unconsciously showed some respect.
He also talked about sending his son to the army. Qian Weihan told him some more about being a soldier, which made the driver excited.
Qian Shulan and the other two were also worried when they heard Qian Weihan mention the dangers of war. Sun Daqin, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly said, "It's so good to be alive!"
It was the first time that Qian Shulan heard a true war story. It was far more cruel than those in the TV series, and the Japanese devils were even more shameless and cruel.
Suddenly she understood why people nowadays worship Chairman M so much, because he led the soldiers to drive away the invaders. This was his glorious deed, and no one could erase it.
While Qian Shulan was stunned, the two men actually recognized each other as brothers. When they got off the car, the driver even took them to the main road closer to their village.
There were often horse-drawn carriages passing by on this road, which could give them a ride.
The truck couldn't turn into the village road, so it didn't take them.
The four people got off the car and waved goodbye to the driver.
When they got home, everyone was delighted. Zhengkang kept his head down and didn't dare to come forward when he heard his mother was back.
Sun Daqin had heard about Zhengkang from her mother-in-law. She felt very upset and had mixed feelings about her son. She had never educated him, so the child was not close to her. He was not the only one who did such a thing. His family, teachers, and parents were all responsible. As long as she took good care of them in the future, it might not be impossible for the child to be close to her.
"Mother has heard from your grandma about your situation. Zhengkang, you will be an adult in the future. You should be serious about what you do, think hard, and don't be so impulsive. Your grandma can't save you forever."
Zhengkang looked at his mother in surprise. His mother didn't scold him or beat him. She just forgave him like that? He had endured more cold eyes and suffering these days than in the past fifteen years. He was even more afraid that his mother would hate him and never acknowledge him again.
He looked at his mother, tears could not help but flow down, his face was full of regret, "Mom, I was wrong!"
"Okay, you have to remember this lesson."
The whole family was very happy that the matter was finally over.
Just as everyone was chatting excitedly, they suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.
Everyone looked back.
I saw two women walking towards this side. Seeing them, Qian Shulan was a little surprised.
"Third sister-in-law, eldest sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Qian Shulan asked the two middle-aged women.
Liu Yueqin glared at her and pretended to be angry and said, "Third sister-in-law, you treat us as outsiders, don't you? Daqin got such a serious illness, and you didn't even tell us. Do you look down on us?"
Although the villagers knew that Daqin was seriously ill, they all thought that Qian Shulan would not save her daughter-in-law, but she unexpectedly saved her. Therefore, everyone admired Qian Shulan's courage and felt that she had really changed a lot.
Qian Shulan waved her hands quickly, "I don't look down on you. It's just that Daqin is so seriously ill, and I was worried that she would be upset. So I didn't tell anyone."
Liu Yueqin wasn't really angry with her. She took out five yuan from her coat pocket and handed it to her, "This is a gift from our family. We are real relatives after all. You can't refuse it."
Qian Shulan looked at her sincere face and felt touched. She played the harp and said hurriedly, "Go and thank your third aunt."
Sun Daqin bowed hurriedly to express her gratitude.
Liu Yueqin smiled and waved her hand to decline. Then she nudged He Cuilan, who had been leaning sideways in embarrassment, and said, "Sister-in-law, you're here, why are you still embarrassed now?"
Qian Shulan naturally remembered the dirty things between the original body and He Cuilan. In fact, they were just trivial matters, but the two of them ignored each other for more than ten years. Last time when she was washing sweet potatoes, He Cuilan even choked her. Later, He Cuilan learned from Wang Shouquan that she really gave Wang Shouquan a mask and asked Wang Shouquan to send some paper and pens.
He came again this time, apparently wanting to restore relations with their family.
Seeing that He Cuilan was too embarrassed to speak, Qian Shulan took the initiative to smile and said, "Sister-in-law, are you here to see Daqin too?"
This time, Sun Daqin didn't need Qian Shulan to call her. She smiled and thanked He Cuilan directly, "Auntie, thank you for coming to see me."
She said this sincerely, which could be regarded as her inner feelings. Even an aunt who never came to their house could come to see her, but her own parents didn't care about her at all.
She couldn't help but tears up her eyes.
Seeing her crying so sadly, He Cuilan no longer cared about being embarrassed and took out her clenched hands from her pockets. A big black bill was damp with sweat from being clenched in her hand.
Liu Yueqin was a little surprised. She gave him ten yuan right away. Wasn't that too generous? Was she still the He Cuilan who never gave others any advantage
Everyone stared at the ten dollars, as if it was more beautiful than the flower.
Qian Shulan pushed Sun Daqin, who quickly took it from her daze and bowed to thank her again, "Thank you, Auntie."
He Cuilan nodded modestly. Qian Shulan invited her, "Come in and have a seat."
After making a fuss for a long time, they were still standing in the yard.
He Cuilan waved her hand and said, "No, I have to go home. You guys should go ahead and do your work. You just came back and probably haven't eaten yet. We can still come tomorrow."
Seeing that she insisted, Qian Shulan didn't want to force her to stay. After seeing her off, Liu Yueqin and Qian Weihan left the hospital together.
Qian Shulan said to Sun Daqin, "Go and write down all the money that people have sent us. These are favors. We have to pay them back if they have any problems in the future."
Sun Daqin nodded immediately, and was supported by Zhengguo and Zhengkang to go back to the house to find the notebook.
Qian Shulan went back to her room to rest while Zhou Xuemei and Li Chunhua went to the kitchen to cook.
Not long after, I heard someone knocking on the door again. This time, it was my second sister-in-law, Lv Xiuhong, who was cowardly. The original body seemed to dislike her character, so he hardly paid any attention to her.
After Lu Xiuhong came in, she glanced at her timidly, and then whispered, "This five dollars is from our family for Daqin."
Qian Shulan chatted with her for a while, and when she pushed it to her again, she took it and thanked her.
Lv Xiuhong asked about Sun Daqin's situation again, and Qian Shulan took her to the east room to see Sun Daqin. Lv Xiuhong was relieved to see that her third brother's wife was not as aggressive as before.
In fact, she didn't want to come at first, but the child's father said that his third brother's wife was a widow after all, and it would not be appropriate for a grown man like him to visit her.
Besides, the eldest sister-in-law was already visiting her, and they were all sisters-in-law, so it would not look good if they didn't visit each other. So she came.
When Lv Xiuhong saw Sun Daqin, she knew she was resting, so she left without disturbing her. When Qian Shulan sent her out, she heard her talk about her grandson's situation, and Qian Shulan smiled and said, "If you train him well, he might become a college student in the future."
Lv Xiuhong was so frightened by her words that she waved her hands hurriedly, "A college student wouldn't dare to think about it. If he could become a junior high school student like Shouzhi and work as a worker in the county town, we would be satisfied."
Qian Shulan smiled and said, "Yes."
The two talked for a while, and then Lu Xiuhong said goodbye.
Before eating, Qian Shulan gave five dollars to Sun Daqin and asked her to write it down.
Sun Daqin took the money and started wiping her tears again.
After dinner, Qian Shulan asked Qian Minghua to call a meeting of all members.
Qian Minghua's heart skipped a beat, and he opened his mouth in surprise, "Aunt, did you really do it?"
Qian Shulan rolled her eyes. It seemed that he had no confidence in her! Qian Minghua rubbed his hands excitedly. When Qian Shulan told him the price, Qian Minghua was dumbfounded and grabbed Qian Shulan's hand, "Aunt, how did you do it? Did you sell it on the black market?"
Qian Shulan was speechless. "What are you thinking? I signed the agreement with the manager of the department store." Then she showed him the purchase order.
Qian Minghua was relieved. They were a production team, belonging to the collective. In order to make up for the food deficit, they had to sell eggs on the black market, but this was very risky. There were no receipts, so if the higher-ups came to check the accounts, they would definitely find out.
Every year, the baskets woven by the team are a huge source of income. This requires a receipt. Now that I see this purchase order with a red stamp on it, I feel relieved.
But this price is really unbelievable, it is twice as expensive as what they are selling now.
"Aunt, you are so awesome!" Qian Minghua really admires her.
Although Qian Shulan was very pleased with his praise, she still had to be humble.
"You can find someone with better craftsmanship in the village to come and register. There are 1,000 rattan baskets in total, and we need four days to finish them."
Qian Minghua immediately agreed to leave the matter to him. He knew who in the village had the best craftsmanship.
Soon the whole team held a meeting and summoned the 300 best craftsmen to come and weave baskets. Almost every family had one person selected, and some families had three or four, such as the Wang family, all of whom were skilled.
Qian Shulan took some paint and wrote on the basket. Because the paint was limited, she couldn't write the entire address like she did on the advertising fans she distributed. Instead, she only wrote the three words "Wangjia Village".
She would check the rattan baskets while writing. This time, weaving baskets was still recorded in the form of work points according to the quantity. She also got ten work points for writing, and not only that, she was also rewarded with a thousand work points for seeking benefits for the team. If calculated according to last year's work point value, this would be 25 yuan. Everyone was envious.
At first, everyone would say sour things to her, saying that Qian Minghua, the production team leader, had also started to seek personal gain. Four days later, a large truck stopped on the main road, and the head of the purchasing department of the provincial department store came with workers to move things. After paying 3,680 yuan, everyone was excited.
Oh my god! They didn't make that much money by making rattan baskets last winter! Even if they divide it by population, each of them can get three yuan. Are they going to get rich? Some people are worried that they will be reported as rich peasants because they are so rich.
So Wang Shouquan asked everyone to keep it a secret and not tell anyone about it, otherwise other villages would get jealous and come to borrow money. So the heated discussion at the beginning immediately disappeared. After all, everyone has a few relatives in other villages. If they just borrow money, it's acceptable, but if they are labeled as rich peasants, that's a big deal. So no matter adults or children, no one discussed the rattan basket anymore.
Qian Shulan was happy to see this. If this was known to other villages, imitation products might appear, and then they would start a price war. Wouldn't no one buy the remaining rattan baskets in their village? It would be best if they could keep it secret now.
