Chapter 667 Going to Shijingshan
After finishing the work here, Wang Tiedan went to Old Man Fan’s ward.
It would be too easy for him to just kill him.
How can being dead be as painful as being half dead?
Wang Tiedan held a silver needle and used his spatial ability to find a capillary in the old man's skull and punctured it. When he saw the old man's mouth slowly become crooked and his hands tremble, he left the hospital.
Not long after, the nurse on regular ward rounds discovered something abnormal about Mr. Fan.
Suddenly, the whole corridor was in chaos again.
After a night of hard work, a life was finally saved.
However, the sequelae of the stroke are still very obvious. It is difficult to eat, let alone communicate.
Now, Old Man Fan’s wish to emulate Roosevelt has failed.
Time flies and soon it is midsummer.
Wang Tiedan rarely goes out, so he went to the Shijingshan Supply and Marketing Cooperative under the scorching sun to deliver chickens and fish.
At this time, there was already a long line of people outside the supply and marketing cooperative. When they saw Wang Tiedan driving a sidecar with a fully loaded cart tied to the back, their eyes were filled with excitement.
"Here it comes, finally here, I'm dying of sunburn."
"Xiao Zhan, quickly call your director to come out and receive the goods."
"I don't know if it will be my turn this time. I came here to queue up at 10 o'clock."
"I've been here since nine."
As soon as Wang Tiedan parked the car, he saw a middle-aged man and a group of people walking out of the supply and marketing cooperative.
He was quite surprised to see Wang Tiedan.
"Comrade Xiao Wang, why are you here this time? Where is your father?"
"My eldest sister is here, she is at home loving her granddaughter. Director Zhan, hurry up, the fish are still alive, if you interfere any more they will die."
"Okay, okay, come on, let's get moving. Xiao Zhan, go get Comrade Xiao Wang a bottle of soda and put it on my account."
"Thank you, Director Zhan."
Wang Tiedan was not polite either.
"Then you guys do it first. I'm going to go to the art troupe and come back to settle the bill later."
"Okay, you go ahead and do your work."
Director Zhan waved his hand, his eyes fixed on the live fish and chickens on the cart.
Although it was delivered every week, he was still very excited.
In an era of material shortages, whoever has materials is the boss.
In the past two years, everyone in Shijingshan has been giving face to Mr. Zhan from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Wang Tiedan rushed all the way to the art troupe and successfully met the little sister who had been waiting for a long time at the gate.
"Third brother, why are you here?"
The younger sister took the bag handed over by Wang Tiedan and asked.
"My elder sister is here. She may be pregnant. Come and get checked."
"Really, that's great."
"Don't be too happy too soon. My elder sister asked you when you will get married. She said that when she was your age, her daughter was already born. Can you take a leave so that we can have dinner together tonight?"
The little sister blushed.
"That may not be possible. Army Day is coming soon and we are all rehearsing. The higher-ups have issued a notice that no leave is allowed."
"Okay, I'll explain to my parents when I get home."
As he was talking, a car drove out from the art troupe. Wang Tiedan took a glance and unexpectedly saw an old acquaintance sitting in the car, Fan Linglong.
Moreover, there were visible bruises on Fan Linglong's face.
"Isn't that Fan Linglong? Aren't you allowed to take leave? Why is she out?" Wang Tiedan asked.
"She's not asking for leave, she's retiring from the military."
"Retired?"
"Well, she was married before, and she was fine for the first month, but recently, she has been hurt all the time, and she won't tell anyone when others ask her about it.
Her husband didn't want her to be in the spotlight, so he found someone to help her get discharged from the army."
The younger sister said, with a hint of sympathy in her tone.
In fact, everyone knew that the injuries on her body were caused by others, but no one talked about it.
Wang Tiedan naturally understood as well.
Men of this era still have relatively traditional ideas.
No one can tolerate his wife having another man's name printed on her butt.
It would be strange if there was no fighting.
No, it should be one-sided beating.
Fan Linglong's family has already lost power and was in the wrong first, so they may not dare to fight back.
"She hasn't caused you any trouble during this period, right?" Wang Tiedan asked again.
"No, there are too many holidays from May Day to now. I have to rehearse and write songs all day long. I am very busy."
"That's good. Go ahead and do your work. I'll go talk to your leader."
"Okay~"
After seeing his younger sister off, Wang Tiedan went straight to the office building and met Captain Ma who was looking down at documents in the office.
"How come you have time to come to my place today? You're a rare guest."
While talking, Captain Ma did not forget to be busy with the work at hand. It seems that he is really busy.
"I came here to deliver the goods, and I'll take a stroll with you while I'm here."
"You seem to be free, but we are extremely busy. After the Party Founding Day comes the Army Founding Day, and after the Army Founding Day comes the National Day. This period is the busiest for us."
"He who can do it should work harder."
Wang Tiedan said with a smile.
"My sister just said that Fan Linglong has retired from the army. Her husband hasn't caused any trouble for my sister, right?"
Hearing this, Captain Ma’s gossipy mind began to surge.
He put down his pen, stood up and closed the door, looking mysterious.
"How could she have such thoughts? The family is in a mess. The two little ones have been together for less than a month, and they either beat or scold her. Her parents-in-law don't like her either. This has spread all over our compound. If they hadn't just gotten married, and Old Fan had become like that, they would have divorced long ago."
"Why?" Wang Tiedan asked deliberately.
"It's not clear. Some people speculate that after Mr. Fan suffered a stroke, he didn't fulfill his promise to help the man's family. It's a political marriage, so it's not equal now. Others say that Fan Linglong was spoiled and the man was afraid that she would bring disaster to the family. No one knows, and no news has been leaked."
"How is Mr. Fan doing?"
"After his lower body became paralyzed, he suffered a stroke and has been transferred to a retirement area in the south. I don't know where he is."
Speaking of this, Captain Ma felt a little sad.
"The Fan family was so powerful half a year ago, but now, the monkeys scatter like monkeys when the tree falls. All the people who had surrounded them before have turned to other people. Alas, that fall directly broke the whole family apart."
Wang Tiedan smiled.
"How can you still sympathize with them? Have you forgotten that he threatened you?"
"Hey, that's just what I'm saying. I just feel that things are unpredictable. It's good to be low-key like you. If you are too arrogant, even God will not tolerate it."
"Just because you didn't cause any trouble to my sister is fine. I hope you can take good care of my sister in the future."
"Don't worry, it's what I should do."
After leaving the art troupe, Wang Tiedan went to the supply and marketing cooperative to settle the bill and returned home.
As soon as he entered the yard, he felt the festive atmosphere in the yard.
Needless to say, the news of my eldest sister's pregnancy has been confirmed.
"Tiedan is back. How is your sister? Can she come back?" asked my mother.
"I can't come back. They are busy rehearsing now and won't allow you to take leave."
"Aren't you here to write songs? Why do you need rehearsals?"
Because there is a teacher at home who teaches the children vocal lessons, my mother knows a little about it.
“Maybe the inappropriate parts need to be modified on the spot, who knows.”
"You little bitch, if you don't want to come back, then don't come back. You're almost becoming an old girl. Your sister already has four children, and she doesn't even have a partner. If I had known, I wouldn't have let him join the army." Mom complained.
Wang Tiedan shook his head. Who said that joining the army was glorious?
Just then, Aunt Zhao's daughter ran into the yard in a panic.
"Brother Tiedan, Master Ni asked me to call you, please come over quickly."
"what happened?"
"Mr. Li passed away!"
