Chapter 217, praise and jealousy

After writing the prescription, the old man suddenly looked up and asked:

"Do you want me to write you a certificate of applying for a milk ticket?"

Medical orders are very important, but the amount of milk itself is small, so it is hard to say whether you can apply for a milk ticket.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, everything was in trouble and the dairy industry was in a difficult situation.

In 1949, there were only 120,000 dairy cows and 170,000 dairy goats nationwide, with annual milk production of 192,000 tons and 170,000 tons respectively.

Among the 120,000 cows, only 20,000 Holstein cows have good milk production performance.

In order to allow more residents to drink milk, in the early 1950s, the Beijing government included the dairy industry in its economic development plan and worked hard to increase the supply of milk.

On March 1, 1956, the Beijing Milk Station was officially established.

In the late autumn of 1957, the supply of milk in the capital was in a tight situation.

While urgently replenishing milk from other places, the Beijing Milk Station asked the milk delivery staff to mobilize the subscribers' homes to stop milking first to ensure the milk supply to patients and infants.

This move was supported by the general public, and a total of 11,000 pounds of milk were given to patients and infants.

In addition, processing fresh milk is also very scarce, just like other non-staple foods. This year, in 1958, the average annual consumption of milk is less than one pound of.

The population of the entire capital is 6.6 million, and each person consumes less than one pound per year. This concept is simply unimaginable.

Of course, it does not mean that after writing a doctor's order, the patient can buy milk by getting a milk ticket.

Because we also need to ask the patient if he is willing to buy it, we must know that the price of milk is 20 cents per pound.

And you can only buy it with milk coupons and grain costs, otherwise you will not be able to buy it at all.

Therefore, the old man asked this question when he wrote a doctor's order.

"don't want!"

"want!"

Zhou Hongmei and Lao Xu had different answers. The former did not want to waste money and thought it would be enough to just take the medicine.

But the latter knew that it would have to spend money at this time.

My wife is still young, so she can’t ignore the doctor just because she saves money.

Lao Xu's stinginess is mainly because he doesn't feel that there is no need to waste money when it has not happened.

But now the doctor has already spoken, so there is nothing to say, it is necessary.

If it were before the separation, Lao Xu might have hesitated.

But now, the three children have separated, so Lao Xu doesn't need to worry about that much.

He himself earns 38 yuan and 60 cents a month, and this salary level is not high.

However, he only needs to take on the food for himself, Zhou Hongmei and Xu Wumei.

Not only enough, but there is still surplus.

What's more, he felt that he should be able to be promoted in the next worker rank upgrade assessment.

Although An Nianyun is very embarrassed by him, he feels that his skills have made great progress.

Therefore, he has a great grasp of the probability of rising to level 3.

Since that's the case, buying milk for Zhou Hongmei is not a big deal.

The two of them had different answers, which made the old man laugh and laugh.

"Do you want to go out for a fight? Come in and tell me the answer after you have agreed?"

Lao Xu glared at Zhou Hongmei and said toughly:

"Comrade Doctor, don't listen to her. Just follow me and write a milk ticket application certificate for us. We can buy milk."

The latter smiled helplessly, but his heart was sweet. This dead old man!

More than ten minutes later, the two left the hospital with their medicine and milk ticket application forms.

Following the doctor's advice, Lao Xu and the others walked into the street office and came here to get their milk tickets.

Director Wang saw the old couple coming in, and even took the application form for milk tickets, and saw the hospital stamp and doctor's orders.

Was stunned for a moment:

"What disease did my old sister-in-law have? Is it serious?"

Zhou Hongmei was in a good mood, but she was sick. She also had to go back and forth for a while and her face was very weak:

"It's just heartache and bad health. I've also taken medicine."

Seeing this, Director Wang had no choice but to remind the other party to take good care of his health.

However, she still looked embarrassed because her milk tickets were very tight and she might not be able to evenly do this month.

It just means trying to deal with it.

"Okay, okay, thank you very much Director Wang. Then you are busy, we won't bother you."

Lao Xu put his attitude very low and did not talk to others on an equal basis just because the other party had a good relationship with his son.

In the life wisdom of small people, these do not exist.

After all, the honest Lao Xu may have one or another personality flaws in other aspects, but he has always respected those who are officials.

Keeping distance is the best!

Maybe some people are arrogant when they succeed, but Lao Xu is not such a person and has never succeeded.

He had no ambitions, but he just wanted to live a good life and get married and have children in good health, so that he could enjoy his old age. He was already satisfied.

Director Wang nodded and said sorry again, and asked Zhou Hongmei to go home to recuperate more.

"Okay, thank you Director Wang."

Zhou Hongmei and the others returned to the courtyard. Aunt Yan and others chatting in the courtyard suddenly lit up their eyes.

Then everyone started asking questions in a verbal way.

Old Xu's face was as dark as ink, and he helped Zhou Hongmei into the house, so he was too lazy to pay attention to these neighbors.

Then he called Hu Meifeng and Qin Huairu to take good care of Zhou Hongmei, and he went out to work in the steel rolling factory.

After Lao Xu left, the neighbors soon learned what was going on.

"Hiss, it turns out that Xu Laosan really knows how to see a doctor? He has just read a few medical books?"

"Hongmei, Lao Xu still loves you. He actually applied for a milk ticket for you?"

"I just said that the third child is resourceful and has a safe job in doing things. He must have started reading medical books very early."

"Chest tightness and weakness are heartache? It turns out that eating more fresh vegetables, fruits and milk can regulate your body."

A group of neighbors chattered in the yard.

Many of them slapped themselves in the face, but they were very happy and willing.

Qin Huairu helped boil medicine, smiled at the corner of her mouth, looking proud.

The sisters-in-law Hu Meifeng and Fan Zhaodi next to them were also saying good things, and they were envious.

They were both born from the same parents, why are the two men so different from the third child?

The two children Xu Xiaoman and Xu Weidong next to them squatted beside their third aunt, watching the medicine curiously.

"Aunt San, are these Chinese medicines bitter? Can I taste them?"

"Even if it's not bitter, you can't taste it. These are medicines for your grandma to treat diseases, and they are not something you can take."

Fan Zhaodi glared at Xu Weidong. Is this brat trying to anger his mother to death?

It's true that you don't care about time and don't avoid meat, vegetables and other things.

The little guy was no longer interested and got up and ran out.

Zhou Hongmei, who was lying down, drank the boiled Chinese medicine and fell asleep in a daze.

But she fell asleep with a smile. She was proud of her promising son, warmed her heart for the old man who loved her, and comfortable for three harmonious daughters-in-law to be by her side.

The fifth design room of the design institute has been sitting in front of its work station for many years and started a day's work.

The project of the Light Industry Bureau was hand-drawn, and he had already drawn it yesterday afternoon.

Now I am pretending to work hard, but actually reading medical books step by step.

However, he didn't have time to relax and was immediately called to have a meeting.

Fortunately, the meeting was not very long, just a few group leaders from the design room held a coordination meeting.

However, he had just returned from the meeting and had not yet sat back at the work station, Lin Xiachuan came to call for someone again.
