"Five or eight dollars?"

The three members of the family screamed at the same time and looked at Li Tang in surprise, as if they were wondering if they heard wrongly.

"Ahem..." At this time, the female doctor who originally treated the girl coughed twice, attracted the attention of the family of three and said: "The normal price of medicine here is like this, more than ten yuan a medicine. There are very few side effects.”

Hearing the explanation from the female doctor, excitement flashed through the eyes of the family of three. Although the family did have a lot of debt to save the girl, they could still afford the price of ten yuan.

"Thank you, doctor, thank you, doctor."

"You're welcome, it's not special care." Li Tang shook his head and continued writing the prescription.

"Doctor Zhou..."

"teacher"

"You just saw her chest wasn't burned, right?"

"There was basically no chest. She climbed down when she fell. The hot oil was mainly concentrated on her two arms, hands, head, neck, the sides of the two cheeks, as well as her back and buttocks."

"Well, when we apply the medicine later, Dr. Zhou will teach you that you should not see water within seven days after applying the medicine. After the first seven days, you can wipe it gently with a wet towel and rest for three days. , then apply the medicine for the second time, and so on. After the third medicine is cleaned up, come over for a review to see how the effect is and whether the medicine needs to be changed. You can still see Dr. Zhou at that time. "

"Okay doctor."

"In addition, you will feel itchy after applying this medicine. This is normal. You can gently touch it through gauze to relieve the itching feeling, but do not scratch it. I will prescribe an anti-itch medicine separately. , if you feel itchy, you can drink it, but you don’t have to endure it deliberately.”

"Ok."

"doctor……"

Seeing that Li Tang stopped talking, the girl's father called out cautiously.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Next time when the medicine is given, can you come to the hospital? I...I'm worried that if we don't do it well, the child will suffer again."

"Of course. I just saw that your home is over Baqiao, which is far away from here. I was afraid of the inconvenience for you running around, so I asked you to apply medicine at home. Of course it's okay if you want to come over."

"Thank you, thank you, for causing trouble to our hospital."

"Alas..." Looking at the humble and apologetic look of the girl's father, Li Tang sighed silently in his heart.

Natural disaster? Man-made disaster? No matter what it is, it is extremely unfortunate to happen to this young girl who is only seventeen years old.

Fortunately, her family did not give up on her. The burns were so severe that they had to borrow money to save her. Although they did not see what kind of burns the girl had suffered, the exposed skin alone was enough to save her. It can be seen that the scar under the clothes must not be much better.

The girl's father also had burn marks on his hands. He couldn't see them on his arms, but it can be guessed that after the incident, he was so anxious to save his daughter that he didn't even care that he was also burned.

"You didn't take off the child's clothes after he was burned?"

"Uh... No, I was in a hurry to take it off. The child next door to us works as a nurse in the Military Medical University Affiliated Hospital. She happened to be at the door of my house at that time. When she saw my daughter's accident, she rushed in and refused to let her go. I took off the child's clothes, and she cut the clothes with scissors, and then kept running cold water over the child. After we found a tractor, we carried the child with me to the attached hospital."

I see! This is another blessing among misfortunes.

After writing the prescription and handing it to Dr. Zhou, Li Tang left first.

It was already half past six. When he arrived at the canteen on the second floor of the company, the sanitation staff in the restaurant began to clean up. When he came in, several people's legs were weak. My dear, there was no room for the boss. The few chefs and assistant cooks who were eating in a circle in the kitchen looked at the bowls in their hands, and then at the basins on the table with vegetables, and they didn't know what to say.

"Chairman, please wait a moment. I will cook it for you again. The dishes are all ready-made and will be ready soon."

The kitchen monitor put down the bowl in his hand and ran out.

"No, no, no." Li Tang waved his hand and put the plates, bowls and chopsticks he had just taken out of the cabinet back into the cabinet.

"You guys hurry up and eat. I can just go out and eat something."

In fact, he can also go to the hospital cafeteria to eat. The cafeteria there has a 24-hour window. If people on duty at the company are hungry at night, they will go there to get food. Anyway, it's free.

After walking out of the company, Pang Hu suddenly stepped forward and said, "Third brother, there's a new beef noodle restaurant over there. It tastes pretty good."

"You have eaten?"

“I’ve eaten it twice and I think it’s delicious, especially the chewy noodles.”

"Then go!"

For Li Tang, a native of Qin Province who has lived two lifetimes, he can accept three meals a day, whether they are oily or sour.

But the noodles must be good. It is impossible for him to eat that kind of noodles. They must be hand-rolled, pulled, or drawn. All must be done by hand, not to mention those made by machines. In his words, they are made by machines. The face is missing the soul.

Just like eating steamed buns, you have to break them with your own hands. Those made by machines also lose their soul.

I followed Pang Hu to the beef noodle restaurant. Good guy, business is really good.

The store is not big and there is no room to sit inside. Many people squat on the roadside at the door with a stool to eat.

The bowl is placed on the stool, and the person squats there, with chopsticks in one hand and garlic in the other, taking a sip of noodles, and finally drinks a bowl of noodle soup, turning the original soup into the original food, Mrs. Mei Di!

Both Pang Hu and Li Tang have big appetites, so they have to ask the boss to make more noodles in advance.

While Pang Hu went in to order, Li Tang grabbed a handful of garlic from the store, then set two stools at the door. He didn't mind the dirt on the floor, so he sat down on the steps in front of the store and started peeling it. Garlic in hand.

Business was so good that it took twenty minutes for them to come face to face.

Li Tang, who hadn't felt hungry at first, heard the slurping sounds of noodles being eaten from front to back and left and right. He was so hungry that he felt like his eyes were glowing green, and he barely managed to grab a bowl from someone.

After finally waiting for my meal to arrive, I didn't even bother to talk, and half the bowl of Xilihulu was already eaten.

"Well, it's really good. The noodles are indeed chewy!"

After finishing half the bowl, he finally had time to speak.

"Is it enough for Third Brother? How about I ask for a small bowl for each of us?"

Looking down at the noodles that were almost bottomed out, and feeling his stomach again, Li Tang nodded: "Okay, let's have another small bowl. I'm really not full yet."

"okay!"

After finishing the noodles, drinking the soup, wiping your mouth, and lighting a cigarette, this is life!

Pang Hu took the cigarette without lighting it, but stood up and walked towards the roadside.

There was a middle-aged woman over there who seemed to be waiting for someone, but she didn't know why she kept staring here. After Pang Hu reminded him, Li Tang was sure that he didn't know this woman, so Huzi simply got up and went over to ask.

Seeing him coming, the woman seemed to realize that it was not polite to stare at people like that just now. She smiled awkwardly at Pang Hu who came over, took out her work permit and handed it over.

She knew Pang Hu's identity. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, it was the best choice to reveal her identity quickly.

Seeing this woman taking out her work ID card without saying anything, Pang Hu was slightly startled, which meant that she knew his identity. He looked at the woman deeply, and he lowered his head to look at his work ID card.

This sight made him raise his eyebrows.

Cao Lixia, deputy director of the Provincial Urban Supervisory Committee.

"Sorry, Director Cao, do you know our chairman?"

"Haha" Cao Lixia smiled and took her work permit.

"I'm afraid there are not many people in the provincial capital who have never seen Director Li. I was the one who was abrupt just now. I just didn't expect that a leader as big as Director Li would sit on the roadside eating, so I took a few more glances."

"Director Cao, would you like to go over and talk to our chairman?"

"No, just say hello to him for me. My wife is already here, and we are here to eat."

Following the direction indicated by Cao Lixia, Pang Hu turned around and saw a middle-aged man in straight clothes walking this way. He knew at a glance that he must be a leader or something.

"I'm really sorry, Director Cao. I didn't know it was you just now, so I disturbed you."

"You're welcome. After all, it was me who did the wrong thing first."

Leaving Cao Lixia, Pang Hu caught up with Li Tang.

"Who is that?"

"Cao Lixia, deputy director of the Provincial City Supervision Committee."

Li Tang was stunned when he heard the name, but he was just stunned for a moment, nodded and continued walking forward.

Here, Cao Lixia's lover Cui Jieshan also walked to her side.

"You've been waiting for a long time, Lixia."

"It's okay, I just got here too, is this the place you're talking about?"

"Well, it hasn't been open for a long time and it tastes pretty good."

"That's right, just looking at these people you can tell it should taste good."

"Who was that just now?"

"The security guard next to Li Tang, I came over just now and saw him sitting on the steps eating in an undressy manner, so I looked at him twice, which caused people's misunderstanding. I felt that they were a little sensitive."

"Li Tang?" Cao Lixia's husband looked back and could no longer see him.

"It's normal for him to be sensitive. We just arrested four suspects who wanted to harm Li Tang early this morning. This time they seem to be targeting his wife and children. He must be very angry now."

"Huh? Just caught him early this morning?"

"Yes, Director Liu personally led the team. Many leaders from the province and city rushed there in the early morning. The suspect is now being interrogated in our bureau. Director Jin and Director Zheng have been waiting there."

Cui Jieshan is the deputy director in charge of logistics of the Municipal Bureau.

"Since the leaders are all there, is it okay if you leave?" After hearing her husband's words, Cao Lixia was stunned at her feet as she was about to walk into the noodle shop.

"It's okay. I told Director Liu. There's no point in staying there. Let's go. Come in quickly. I'm already hungry."

"Well, let's go."

Both of them now feel a little wantless and have no intention of climbing up the ladder. They plan to work in their current position one day at a time. As long as they don't make mistakes, their superiors may want to transfer them out of their current positions. If you have a job, you have to find a good job.

So, I don’t seem to care much about anything. In fact, both of them are still young. Cui Jieshan has just turned forty, and Cao Lixia is three years younger. Now she is already at the level of a director and a deputy director. If she works hard, there will definitely be room for advancement.

But both of them knew very well that if they wanted to go up, they would not be able to cross the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops. It would be no exaggeration to say that they would fight a bloody road.

It was really too dangerous. After careful discussion, the two of them unanimously decided to just keep it like this and run up without any trouble, but they had to do a good job. As for the future, I will be lucky to lose it. My life.

This is really good. Those who are content are always happy.

……

The problem Li Tang encounters now is that he cannot stop. Whether it is the people below or the people above, everyone is trapped by the wheel of the times and can only keep moving forward.

Is there anyone left behind?

There must be one. Those who fall behind will be shot to death on the beach by those chasing behind them.

In fact, for Li Tang, there is also a sense of having no desires and desires, because he has now reached the ceiling of the industry.

We were only in the 1990s, and we had already brought a pharmaceutical company to this level. No one could say anything else.

However, if this would compromise the happy life of himself and his family, then Li Tang would definitely not do it.

On the way back, he kept thinking about this problem.

The hospital was separated from Qinshan Pharmaceutical, and then he resigned from the company. From now on, he only focused on improving the hospital. The hospital developed a new drug and handed it over to the company for production and sales?

It's not impossible. This actually has another advantage, that is, it can control the cost price of each product, so that it won't look as scary as it does now.

However, whether the higher authorities will agree is a key question.

According to his estimate, 80% of the time he would not agree.

Qinshan Pharmaceutical is a hot spot, and there are many people who want to pounce on it and take a bite. If the positions of chairman and general manager are suddenly vacant now, just watch, there will definitely be a fight with the bayonet.

It is precisely because of this that neither the province nor the superiors will allow this situation to arise, no matter who becomes the leader.

What everyone wants is a Qinshan Pharmaceutical that can make money, not leftovers.

It is precisely because of this that Li Tang is the chairman and Liu Xiaoqiang is the general manager. Although they wear the same pair of pants, a balance has been formed. No one is willing to break this balance. Otherwise, who can allow a cadre to , holding the same position for more than ten years.

While thinking about it and walking, Li Tang sighed secretly in his heart. People are in the world and can't help themselves!

The noodle shop where we eat is not far from the work, not on the same street, just around the corner.

Walking back to the door of the unit, Li Tang didn't let Pang Hu go in and drive, and the two of them walked to the family courtyard together.

"Huzi, you and Dacheng have worked hard during this time to train a few more people as soon as possible. When you come back, there will be someone to follow your sister-in-law."

"Third brother, aren't you going to arrange a female security guard from Mr. Qiao for your sister-in-law?"

"They can't carry guns. Arrangements are the same as no arrangements. They should still be from our side. Normally, you don't have to follow them. Just follow them when they go out."

"I know, third brother."

"Um"

……

September 30th is the last day before National Day, and today is also the Lunar Mid-Autumn Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is not yet a legal holiday.

Eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival seems to be a common custom across the country. The only difference may be the fillings.

Moon cakes and rice flour and oil are given out. If employees of Qinshan Pharmaceutical eat a lot in the restaurant, and rice flour and oil are given out during festivals, they don’t have to spend money to buy them.

When he came to the unit in the morning, Li Tang, accompanied by Chen Dong and Lin Chuan, went around each department, including the laboratory and the hospital. He had three days of vacation. Everyone should pay attention to safety when going out. At home Doors and windows in the office and office must be closed, plugs must be unplugged, and everyone who needs to be warned must be warned.

Although these issues are commonplace, every time before a holiday, they will be talked about over and over again from top to bottom.

Production safety is a problem that must be faced in the leap-forward development of the economy.

Regardless of other companies, Li Tang has been talking about safety issues since the day Qinshan Pharmaceutical was established, and implemented a one-vote veto system for safety production.

The purpose is to keep everyone's alarm bells ringing.

It was almost twelve o'clock when he came out of the hospital. Li Tang planned to go back to the fertilizer factory after lunch. By the time he got home, it was already past one o'clock.

The weather was nice today. When Dacheng sent him to the gate of the fertilizer factory's family home, Li's mother was holding Xiao Sanyue and chatting here.

The little guy was able to recognize his father's car. After seeing the two commercial cars driving this way from a distance, he was so happy that he danced with joy. Mother Li almost couldn't hold her in her arms.

"Hey, did this little guy see his dad being so kissy?"

"Isn't that right? He's much better now. In the first two months, he would look for his father whenever he was sleeping. At that time, we wouldn't have been able to bring him back."

"Ah ah ah..."

"Okay, okay, he'll hug you when he comes down!"

Seeing her little grandson jumping more and more fiercely, Ma Li could only comfort her.

"Hey, isn't he clingy?"

"She's really not clingy. Except for drinking milk, she almost doesn't look for her mother at other times."

"This kid in your family is really interesting. My kid can't be held by anyone except his mother. His father even beats him when he is held in his arms."

"Haha! My third child has always been liked by children."

"Yes, you are right. Alas, Ping'er, don't you plan to let your third child have another child with his wife?"

"I think, this one is so hard, who knows if there will be another one." When it comes to having another child, Li's mother is full of helplessness.

"Is your daughter-in-law willing to have another one?"

"She is willing..."

While he was talking, Li Tang's car had already arrived at the gate. Xiao Sanyue was even more twisted in her grandma's arms, and she straightened her arms to walk towards the car.

"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go, oh, your dad will be down soon, why are you so anxious. Third brother, hurry up, your son is so anxious, he's going to cry if you don't hug him."

"Here he comes." After getting off the car, Li Tang quickly took his son from the old lady and said hello to the aunties at the gate.

This little guy didn’t know who he learned from. After being picked up by his father, he first turned his head and kissed his grandma’s face, as if to comfort her, and then he nestled in his dad’s arms and said something oh-oh Words that no one can understand.

"Hey, who taught you that?"

Li Tang stretched out a finger and scratched Xiao Sanyue's face, and Xiao Sanyue immediately giggled.

"Lao San"

"Hey, Aunt Fang"

"Is your unit still hiring?"

"There will definitely be no recruitment this year. It's already full, but there should be more recruitment next year. What's wrong, Aunt Fang, who wants to join our unit?"

"You have Jiajia from Brother Liang's family."

"Jiajia? How old is Jiajia?"

"My child doesn't study hard. He didn't pass the high school exam. He went to Qinshan Technical School and studied accounting. He will graduate next year and he will be 18 when he graduates next year."

"Oh, it's so fast. Brother Liang's child is already eighteen. I've only been five months old and I've sent a whole generation away."

"Isn't that right? Look at how old you are. You are already on the fourth grade. How many children are as old as you and still so young?"

"Haha, there's nothing we can do about it, isn't it, Xiao Sanyue."

"Ah...ah..."

"Aunt Fang, after Jiajia graduates next year, ask Brother Youliang to call me. If you join our unit, you will have to work on the assembly line in the workshop for a year. Some children are arrogant and arrogant, and others will look down upon them."

"Shit, it's just pretentious to tell me that those who look down on you can have a stable job in this situation. Your salary is high. Our factory is now ready to be handed over to the local government, and the personnel and financial rights have been transferred to the local government. , everything is frozen, and I don’t know when it will return to normal. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and tomorrow is the National Day. This year, I haven’t even gotten a grain of rice.”

For people of the same generation as Li's parents and Li's mother, having a stable job is really better than anything else. Therefore, when contacting their children with jobs, their first choice is a well-established job.

But her granddaughter went to a technical school. If she contacted an administrative institution, even if she could get in, her status would only be as a work-for-service job. It would be even more difficult to change her job. After all, there are only a few establishments every year, and everyone is watching. .

That's why she thought about letting her granddaughter join Qinshan Pharmaceutical Industry after graduation. It would be a rare and good job with a well-established staff, good benefits and high salary.

"There is no way. The higher-ups have frozen personnel and financial rights just to conduct audits. Don't be too high-minded. It will definitely be completed before the end of the year. If nothing happens, the province will give everyone a part of the bonus at the end of the year, both working and retired. It can be regarded as a reward and encouragement from the province.”

Li Tang's words made the eyes of several aunts present brighten.

If other people say this, they may still be dubious, but if this person says it, they will definitely not run away.

"The third child..."

"Hey, Aunt Liu, tell me."

"Can the province send us more?"

"Aunt Liu, you are making things difficult for me. I don't have to deal with this either." Upon hearing Aunt Liu's request, Li Tang couldn't make any other expression except a wry smile.

The uncles and aunties in the factory are all the same. What they know best is beating snakes and following the stick.

"That's right, Aunt Liu, this is not the scope of the third child's job."

"Hey, I just said it casually, as long as the leaders can still think of us."

"Hey, third child, look quickly. Your son is asleep. You'd better take him back quickly. Don't let him sleep outside and catch a cold."

Li Tang lowered his head and saw that the little guy was sleeping soundly in his arms.

"Mom, when did he get up?"

"Before eating, and after eating, I saw that he wasn't sleeping, so I took him out."
