Chapter 113 Tong Yuheng, this girl is really something else.
Chapter 113 Tong Yuheng, this girl is really something else.
The document stated: "An investigation revealed that Comrade Tong Anfu donated a large amount of medicine and grain to our troops before liberation, contributing to the War of Resistance against Japan. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he also frequently provided medical treatment and medicine, saving lives and healing the wounded. Although he came from a poor background, he was a good revolutionary comrade."
During his time in the countryside for reform through labor, Tong Anfu actively participated in labor with a good attitude and recently demonstrated commendable merit. Therefore, his status as a person undergoing reform through labor is hereby revoked, and he will no longer be treated as a descendant of bureaucratic capitalists. Local authorities are requested to assign him suitable work based on his professional expertise, enabling him to better serve the people.
Tong Yuheng grinned, revealing eight tiny teeth, and immediately called his father in the county to report the good news. He said the documents would arrive in a couple of days, delivered by someone with a letter of introduction from a higher authority, to bring his grandfather over for a medical appointment with an important person.
Liu Fengyi was overjoyed and immediately rode his bicycle to Chenjiatun to tell them the good news. Tong Jiahui then immediately relayed the good news to the old man through the tunnel, and even considered bringing her father to live with her.
Tong Anfu refused to move to his daughter's house, saying, "I'm not moving there yet. We'll continue our secret contact for now."
"Why, Dad? Didn't we come to the countryside so that the whole family could be together? When we were building the house, we had already planned out a place for you, Yuchen, and Jiaming."
"Listen to me, Jia Hui. There's more than one group watching us. It's best if we don't make our relationship public. I've been feeling like someone's watching us outside the cowshed lately. Also, we need to be more careful when we come in and out of the tunnel in the future..."
Liu Fengyi thought he made sense and that it would be better to wait and see. So they decided not to make their relationship public.
"Yuheng means that you should set up a clinic in the village and become a doctor there, so you won't have to work in the fields anymore." Liu Fengyi told him about his daughter's plan and asked him where he thought would be a good place to set up the clinic.
"That girl Yuheng, she thinks three steps ahead for every one she takes, she really inherited your grandmother's wisdom!" Tong Anfu exclaimed.
"Dad, it's all my fault for being so useless..." Tong Jiahui felt ashamed that she had made her eldest daughter support the family.
"You are good too. You are like your mother, very resilient, gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. Fengyi, I hope you will take better care of and understand my daughter in the future."
The old man accepted Liu Fengyi; his daughter was raising so many girls in the countryside and needed a capable and influential man like him to support her.
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely treat Jia Hui well! I'll do whatever she asks me to do. If she tells me to beat the dog, I will never chase the chicken!"
Liu Fengyi was saying the words he had spoken when he proposed to Tong Jiahui in his previous life. The old man's vision blurred as he thought to himself, "How come this person looks so much like my former son-in-law!"
Looking at the unfamiliar face and the familiar soul in front of her, Tong Jiahui was speechless. How did her childhood sweetheart become so mischievous? Could this be some kind of aftereffect of being resurrected?
A few days later, Grandpa Li's health visibly improved, but his condition was kept secret. He would read and handle official business in his study, but his body couldn't withstand too much work for too long.
When Tong Anfu received the approval document from Yanshi to remove his hat, tears welled up in his eyes with joy. He quickly packed his clothes and toiletries and left Chenjiatun temporarily with the person who came.
Chen Hongxiang could tell that Tong Yuheng was no ordinary girl; she had resolved his grandfather's problem with just one trip to Yan City. He would have to get her to create better conditions for the production team in the future!
Tong Yuheng was greeted by his maternal grandfather in Yanshi. He was put up in a guesthouse and soon went to see Old Li. Although the two were not familiar with each other, they had known each other for many years and got along quite well.
His health recovered quickly, and he knew it was thanks to his granddaughter's special medicine, so he didn't prescribe any other medication. With his medical skills, he simply couldn't cure that kind of radiation-induced ailment.
Tong Yuheng then took the opportunity to ask to stay at the guesthouse to keep her grandfather company. She brought out a lot of medicinal herbs from her spatial storage for him, asking him to make some more of those antidote pills, and also gave him a bottle of spiritual spring water to use as needed.
Old Liu wasn't poisoned; his condition was genuinely due to a pathological change caused by physical weakness. After taking his pulse, the doctor prescribed medicine and prepared it using the herbs they had purchased.
Adding some spring water each time the medicine was decocted naturally increased the effect several times over, and Old Liu's condition gradually stabilized.
Actually, his condition could be maintained with that health-strengthening pill, but his situation is different from that of Old Master Li. The spiritual spring water cannot completely stop the gradual decline of his body; it can only extend his life by three to five years.
Grandpa Tong told the truth that the Liu family was already very content. Old Liu was also very open-minded, hoping to live another year or two, so he could have more time to do more things and make arrangements for his children.
Grandpa Tong mainly helped Old Liu with his recuperation and also made medicine in his room. His arrival and actions were kept secret, and few people knew about them.
Tong Yuheng finally found some free time to visit Chen Liying and made arrangements with Li Chengsong to stay at Chen's house for two more nights before they prepared to return home.
Chen Liying was pleasantly surprised by her arrival. She had already started dating Xu He and received envious and jealous looks from the girls in the factory.
At noon, Xu He treated the sisters to lunch at a state-run restaurant, where, by sheer coincidence, they ran into Fan Yaqing and that young policeman who were also eating there. What a small world!
"Tong Yuheng, didn't you go to the countryside? Why are you back!" Fan Yaqing exploded as soon as she saw her.
"Who are you! What business is it of yours to look for me?" Tong Yuheng rolled her eyes at her.
"Did you sneak out? Let me tell you, escaping rural labor will get you sent to a farm!" Fan Yaqing was convinced that she couldn't have returned through normal channels.
"I told you, it's none of your business! Get lost!" Tong Yuheng didn't want to talk to her.
"Hey lady, aren't you going a bit too far? Yaqing meant well, why are you swearing at her?" Wang Li spoke up for Fan Yaqing.
"Haha, is this your new boyfriend? Fan Yaqing, you're quite shrewd!" Tong Yuheng was also impressed by the protagonist's halo in the original book, which attracted some silly, love-struck fools.
"Comrade, let me give you a piece of advice: keep your eyes open when you're looking for a partner, or you'll die young!" Tong Yuheng gave the young man a mocking smile.
Tong Yuheng's words startled Fan Yaqing, but she quickly regained her composure. That matter was over, and this brat didn't know about it anyway.
"Tong Yuheng, come out here, I have something to say to you!" Fan Yaqing was about to ask her for the jade pendant, but she couldn't say it in front of others.
