Chapter 178 Xiaoyuer, what are blackheads?
The next morning around ten o'clock, except for Brother Xu who did not return, everyone else in the Xu family came to Jiang Yi's house.
Jiang Qingyun invited grandpa, grandma and Xu Kui to sit down.
Dr. Hu directly pulled Dr. Huang aside to ask about Jiang Jun's condition.
Zhang Hongmei and Zhao Cui'e went to the kitchen to help as soon as they arrived.
Xu Jianping and Xu Jianhua followed in immediately.
Seeing that his elder brother hadn't come, Xu Yu asked, "Isn't elder brother back yet?"
Zhao Cui'e smiled and replied, "He said he just opened a new route and isn't familiar with his colleagues, so it's difficult to swap shifts, so he hasn't been back for a while."
"Then when you go out, won't he come back to pick you up?"
"I don't want him to answer the phone. I'll just go to the county town to find him when the time comes."
Xu Yu nodded and asked, "Brother, have you applied for a single dormitory in the city?"
"He said it's going through the approval process, but it'll take some time."
Xu Yu didn't know whether it was possible to apply for a single dormitory for couples in this era, or what the requirements were, so he didn't ask any further.
Second Brother Xu and Little Brother Xu came in and immediately surrounded Jiang Yi.
Xu Xiaodi said to him happily: "Brother-in-law, I saw that you made a bigger bamboo airplane for me. When can you come to our house with my sister to see it?"
Jiang Yi: "I'll go in a few days."
Xu Xiaodi was very happy: "Okay!"
Zhang Hongmei laughed and said to him, "After this kid got the bamboo airplane that Xiao Jiang gave him, he didn't even want to feed the rabbit except for eating. He just tinkered with it all day long."
Xu Xiaodi grinned, his face full of pride: "I want to build a big plane. Maybe then I can even make a fighter jet that can annihilate all the enemies on the battlefield."
"Just blow it there, kid."
Zhang Hongmei thought he was bragging, but Jiang Yi was very supportive and said to him, "I have pictures and text introductions of various aircraft here. You can take a look at them."
Xu Xiaodi's eyes lit up instantly: "Really?"
"Ah."
"That's great." Little Brother Xu couldn't wait any longer: "Brother-in-law, I want to see it now, okay?"
Jiang Yi: "Sure, go look for it on the bookshelf in our room. It's on the fourth row, in the middle left."
"it is good."
Little Brother Xu ran straight out of the kitchen.
Looking at his jumping figure, Xu Yu smiled and said, "Brother, you are so passionate about this. Maybe you can really develop in this field in the future."
Zhang Hongmei laughed and said, "If he really has this ability, then our Xu family's ancestors' graves will be filled with smoke."
Xu Yu: "There will definitely be smoke coming out of our Xu family's ancestral tomb."
Xu Jianping agreed: "I also think that smoke will rise from our ancestral graves."
This made everyone laugh.
Xu Jianping then talked about the pigs in the pig farm and the pigs that were about to be bought.
It was full of passion and he spoke endlessly.
Xu Jianping: "Dad has been to several meetings these past few days. He received notice that not only will we soon be organizing people from all the villages to erect utility poles and run wires, but we'll also be building a road from town to the county. They're also encouraging every household to raise poultry. In a few days, a batch of chickens and ducklings will be shipped to our town. No tickets are required, and we can buy them for 30 cents each."
Hearing this, Yang Wenhui was also somewhat happy: "That's great, then we can buy more chickens and ducks and raise them. It will be easy to eat meat and eggs in the future."
Zhang Hongmei nodded: "Yes."
Then he asked, "Are you raising your own pigs this year?"
"Raise them." Yang Wenhui said with a smile, "Then have Xiaoyi go back to the mountains to see if there are any wild boars. If he catches any, he only needs to hand over a few piglets to the collective for the New Year, and he won't have to hand over any meat."
At this point, Xu Jianping thought of the breeding pig in the pig farm. Although he had support from above, he still wanted to find the breeding pig. If he could catch some wild boars, he would have a way to own a pig for his family. So he asked Jiang Yi: "Jiang Yi, when are you planning to go into the mountains? Why don't we go look for the breeding pig again?"
Everyone looked at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi thought for a moment and said, "If you want to go, go early. The busy farming season will come later and no one will have time."
"Okay, okay. If you want to go into the mountains, please inform me two days in advance. I will make some arrangements and call some people to go with us."
"can."
Then Xu Jianping and Jiang Yi continued to talk about pig farming.
Jiang Yi listened carefully and gave him a lot of advice.
Zhao Cui'e couldn't help but smile and said to Xu Yu: "I feel like my brother-in-law knows everything."
Xu Yu smiled and glanced at Jiang Yi, then nodded: "He really does know everything."
The two families had lunch together happily.
Originally, Xu Yu and his friends planned to keep the Xu family for dinner before going back, but the adults had something to do, so they stayed for a while after dinner and then left.
Only little brother Xu didn't want to leave.
He took Xu Yu's hand and said, "I will start school tomorrow. It will be rare for me to see my sister and brother-in-law in the future. I won't leave."
Xu Yu was reluctant to see his brother leave so early, so he spoke up for him: "Let him stay here, and Brother Yi can send him back early tomorrow."
Even Yang Wenhui and Jiang Qingyun spoke up for him.
Finally Zhang Hongmei agreed.
After sending the Xu family away, Dr. Hu will take Xu Yu and Dr. Huang to visit Uncle Jiang's house.
But before he could leave the house, someone brought him a message saying there were phone numbers for Dr. Hu and Xu Yu.
Doctor Hu raised his eyebrows and said unhappily, "When will these bastards stop?"
Xu Yu guessed that it must be Xiao Tang who called her, so she said, "I have to go to town to answer the phone.
Dr. Hu thought about it and decided to go with them.
When they arrived at the town commune, Xu Yuxian called back.
It turned out to be Xiao Tang who called her.
Xiao Tang was already at work, so Xu Yu called the furniture factory directly.
As soon as Xiao Tang received the call, he asked her, "Xiao Yu, are you coming to the county town in a few days?"
Xu Yu heard the anger in her tone and asked, "What happened?"
Xiao Tang was really angry: "He Meifeng has been saying recently that your beauty and whitening medicine is not as good as Dr. Wang's. Before the New Year, there were people registering with me to buy your medicine, but in the past two days since I started working, several people have come to cancel their orders."
Xu Yu was silent for a moment, then asked, "What was the reaction of those who bought my medicine before?"
Xiao Tang: "Most people say your medicine is effective and don't mind the extra money."
Xu Yu: "That's fine."
Xu Yu was not in a hurry to go to the county town, so he said, "I'm making an improved ointment recently. I'll come when it's ready."
After that, she asked, "Xiao Tang, do you know if there's a place in the county town that makes porcelain?"
Xiao Tang thought for a moment and said, "There are people who make pottery jars."
Xu Yu: "Forget it, I want to buy some porcelain bottles for ointments. Pottery jars don't look good."
Xiao Tang: "There's no one in the county who can make this. It's possible that no one in the entire city can make it. If you want it, you have to order it from outside."
Xu Yu hummed and said, "Then I'll think of a way."
Xiao Tang asked, "Does it have to be a porcelain vase?"
Xu Yu: "Well, I want to have my own packaging."
Xiao Tang was not clear about this and could not give any advice, but he agreed with her custom packaging.
The two chatted for a few more words, and Xu Yu asked, "How effective is the doctor's medicine for He Meifeng?"
"She is whiter than before the Chinese New Year... Her face looks like it was covered with flour... and there are some tiny sesame seeds in the flour." Xiao Tang paused three times when he said these words, and it was obvious that he was struggling to put it into words.
Xu Yu: "...What kind of description is this?"
Xiao Tang: "That's right. She's too fair, so everything on her face is very clear."
Xu Yu: "Spots?"
Xiao Tang: "Not a spot."
Xu Yu guessed: "If it's not spots, then it's the blackheads and pores that have been directly enlarged, so it looks like what you said."
Although Xiao Tang didn't quite understand, he still nodded in agreement.
The two talked for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
This time, Jiang Yi and Dr. Hu were standing next to her. When she hung up the phone, Dr. Hu asked, "Xiao Yu'er, what are blackheads?"
He knew about pores, but blackheads were not yet a term we have today.
Xu Yu had no choice but to explain to him.
Doctor Hu smiled and nodded: "That's a very apt description."
Xu Yu smiled guiltily.
Jiang Yi didn't say anything, but stood there as if thinking about something.
Then Dr. Hu called back.
After the call was connected, both his tone and voice were stern and serious. When he was angry, he started cursing directly. He was completely different from the way he was in front of Xu Yu and the others.
"I said I would go back after the Lunar New Year, so I will go back after the Lunar New Year."
"If you keep pushing me, I'll stay here for another month."
"Everything you learned has been thrown away, right? You won't know anything after I'm gone. You'll be worse than a little kid!"
"Then stop harming people in the hospital and go back to your hometown to farm!"
