How to Thrive in the ’60s

Zhou Mingjuan stumbled into the hospital as usual. After checking the room, she went back to the office and knitted sweaters.

This sweater is for Mingzhu.

The red and fine wool bought from the mall is soft and warm to the touch, and the color is bright. Pearls will look good on New Years.

Imagining her daughter's happy appearance when she saw the new sweater, Zhou Mingjuan's mouth raised a gentle smile.

There was a knock on the door outside, Zhou Mingjuan frowned, and put the half-knitted sweater into the cabinet, and then said "come in" with a solemn face.

A woman in her 40s came in. As soon as she entered, she greeted Zhou Mingjuan with a smile and a familiar face:

"Director Zhou, you are Director Zhou, right? Oh, seeing that Director Zhou is a capable person, and it's really neat!"

Zhou Mingjuan in front of her was wearing a double-breasted beige top with large lapels, fitted black trousers, and half-heeled leather shoes on her feet. She was in her thirties, with a slim figure and a beautiful face. She was a woman. When mature and charming, standing at the desk is very eye-catching.

The woman looked at Zhou Mingjuan carefully, the smile on her face became brighter, she turned around and closed the door of the office, and put the white square box with patterns on her hand on the desk.

When the woman looked at Zhou Mingjuan, Zhou Mingjuan was also looking at the woman's dress.

I saw that she was wearing a new cadre uniform, 80% new leather shoes on her feet, her hair was neatly combed, her face was healthy and rosy, her eyebrows and eyes were stretched, her face was bright and open, and she had a bright and open smile on her face. .

At first glance, this woman came from a cadre family, and she was not from an ordinary cadre family.

Zhou Mingjuan had a calculus in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Comrade, may I ask you this...?"

"Director Zhou, first see if you like this thing." The woman pointed to the white box on the table and said to Zhou Mingjuan.

Zhou Mingjuan turned around and smelled the sweet smell coming out of the box. It was something she had never smelled before. It smelled better than the best cakes sold in the mall. The thick sweet smell seemed to be mixed with the fragrance of fruit. .

"Director Zhou, this is a rare birthday cake in the capital! It's not even sold at the Friendship Store, so let's see if you like it!"

The woman's voice sounded like a hook, and Zhou Mingjuan's hand stretched out involuntarily, slightly clumsily opening the beautifully packaged cake box, and a nine-inch cake appeared in front of her.

Without the box to cover, the fragrance of the cake is more intense, and the beautiful and delicate shape alone is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.

"Director Zhou, this is still a fruit cake!" The woman also came over, desperately holding back her saliva, and introduced to Zhou Mingjuan, "Look, look, the red layer above is all strawberries. This stuff is exquisite. It’s expensive, and you can only find some in the capital in April and May, but you can’t usually eat it! By the way, this cake has a layer of fruit in it. This is a high-end cake! Most people can’t get it at all. ."

The woman praised the cake and muttered in her heart.

What is the origin of those two children? How can there be such an expensive food on hand!

And this strawberry, what kind of fruit is it? Is this white layer the cream that the little comrade said? It smells so good, it must be delicious!

Thinking of what the little comrade had promised her, as long as she played well today, put on a big show, and could persuade Zhou Mingjuan, she would give her ten pounds of refined white rice, ten pounds of refined white flour, and a chocolate bigger than this strawberry cake. Cake... Thinking of this, the woman looked at Zhou Mingjuan even more eagerly.

Zhou Mingjuan looked at the red and bright strawberries on the surface of the cake, and then smelled the tempting creamy fragrance, and her saliva kept secreting.

Even if Gu Huaiqing is a political commissar of the military region, even if she does not worry about food and clothing on weekdays,

But it was the first time she saw such a beautiful and attractive cake, and it was the first time she heard of strawberries.

"...Same, comrade, here, this circle of flowers is really beautiful, is it true?"

"Hi! This flower is called rose. It's made of cream. If you smell it, does it smell like milk?"

Zhou Mingjuan swallowed, stabilized her mind, pulled her eyes out of the cake with difficulty, smiled at the woman, and said:

"Comrade, what's your name, come over today...?"

"Sister, my surname is Chen, I'm older than you, you can just call me Sister Chen."

The woman sat back on the stool following Zhou Mingjuan's greeting, her face full of smiles, "It's like this, this time I'm here on a business trip to Laiyang, and a colleague who came with me was accidentally injured, and the person also had a high fever, the doctor It was said that a penicillin was needed, but you know the situation in Linyang now, so many people have been injured in the mining area, and penicillin is simply not enough.

Zhou Mingjuan finally calmed down.

To say that the hospitals in Linyang City lack the most, it is undoubtedly penicillin.

After the explosion in the coal mine, hundreds of people were killed and injured. The hospital was full of injured miners and their families. Those seriously wounded had to wait in line for Penicillin to save their lives, not to mention the lightly wounded.

If the woman surnamed Chen asked her to do other things, she might be able to do it, but if she wanted to go out and ask for a penicillin, then she really couldn't help.

Now the whole hospital can't find a penicillin, even if she is the director, she can't conjure penicillin for nothing.

"Comrade, it's not that I'm not helping you, it's that the hospital really doesn't have penicillin now, not even one..."

"Sister, don't make fun of my sister. You are the director of the hospital. Why can't you get a penicillin? Can I buy one from you at five times the price?"

Seeing that Zhou Mingjuan was still embarrassed, the smile on the woman's face could not be hung up. For the first time, she revealed her anxious side in front of Zhou Mingjuan:

"Oh, girl, I'll tell you the truth, I'm really waiting for penicillin to save my life, but my stepson and daughter-in-law are sick this time. If something happens, I can't explain it to my stepson! "

The amount of information in these words is a bit large. Zhou Mingjuan did not sort it out after a long time. Isn't the colleague who was on a business trip sick?

What the hell is going on here?

Zhou Mingjuan thought so, and asked the question, but the woman was very candid to solve her doubts.

"Sister, I didn't coax you. My stepson and daughter-in-law are working under me in the same unit as me."

Speaking of this, the woman's face showed a proud look, "Not only my stepson and daughter-in-law work under me, but my stepson is also working under my old man's subordinate, otherwise..."
