Chapter 5 The Curved Road Back to the City (2)(1/2)

"Hepatitis has failed, tuberculosis has failed, and only nephritis is left." The original owner said in frustration.

Zhou Haiyang cheered him up from the side: "Having done it, how can we give it up? If this disease cannot be cured, there will be another disease again. There is no way out..."



It is true that the road is boundless. Zhou Haiyang got another secret recipe for nephritis from somewhere. The secret recipe is as follows:

Take an appropriate amount of fresh urine from the person, a little blood from the person, and a little fresh egg white, add it to the urine, and mix thoroughly for investigation.

Then, half an hour before the examination, swallow two tablets of ephedrine to increase blood pressure and aggravate symptoms.

With this preparation, nephritis can be cured!



After taking this secret recipe, Zhou Haiyang took the original owner to the county seat and found Pei Xiaohong, a former Grade 73 graduate of Yongfeng County No. 1 Middle School, an educated youth of the Yuanping Production Team, who was recruited back to the county seat last year.

Finally, a certificate of nephritis was successfully issued at Yongfeng County Hospital.

That day, the original owner was extremely excited, feeling as if he was about to be reborn.



On the night when I returned to the educated youth center, I sat with Zhou Haiyang under the dim kerosene lamp and drafted a report to apply for return to the city for medical treatment. The full text is as follows:

It has been four years since I went to the mountains and countryside to receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants. During this period, I have deeply felt that there is a lot of potential in the vast world.

Over the past four years, I suffered from severe nephritis and lost the ability to work due to overwork and overwork. I am now applying to beg to return to the city for recuperation and treatment.

After I recover from my illness, I promise to go to the mountains and countryside again, and then return to the vast world to further receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants...

After Zhou Haiyang finished listening, he held his stomach and laughed non-stop.

Even the original author himself laughed so hard that he couldn't stand upright after reading it.

...

Early the next morning, the original owner went to the brigade headquarters to find Fan Yanping, the village party secretary.

After reading the medical certificate and application report, Fan Yanping was silent for a moment in thought, and then narrowed his eyes and looked at the original owner for a long time. The original owner was so scared that his entire body was covered with hair.

Fan Yanping smiled bitterly, shook his head, sighed, and said nothing.

Then he picked up a pen and signed it, and stamped it with the official seal of the production team.

He also personally took the original owner to the commune to help get the official seal stamped.

When the original owner walked out of the commune, he was so moved that he almost shed tears.

I thought to myself, I did what I did to Fan Lili, but I didn't expect Fan Yanping to help him like this. His lips trembled and he couldn't say a word for a long time.



After leaving the commune, the original owner immediately rushed to the county Educated Youth Office and found Lao Xu, whom he had met once when he went to the mountains and countryside to report for work four years ago.

While looking at the certificates and reports in his hands, Lao Xu asked with concern: "Are you... sure?"

"Eh? Sure?...Uh, almost..." The original owner was stunned when he heard Lao Xu ask this question, not knowing what he meant.

His mind made a big turn, but he still couldn't figure it out, so he nodded numbly.

"It can't be almost the same, it's best to succeed in one go!" Lao Xu glanced at the original owner with concern.

"Well...thank you!" The original owner finally understood and looked at Lao Xu gratefully, his eye circles immediately turning red.

While signing and sealing his name, Lao Xu muttered: "You have nephritis, Zhang X has hepatitis, Wang XX has tuberculosis, Liu XX has lumbar muscle strain, Lin XX has Meniere's syndrome..."

It was the first time in his life that the original owner had heard of some strange disease names.

He understood in his heart that Lao Xu was telling himself that those were educated youths who went to the mountains and countryside just like him.

It was also because of family background issues that he was turned away from the opportunity to return to the city every time.

But now, they are all forced to embark on this helpless road back to the city...

Liu Yan, who was reborn in this world, entered the officialdom many years later. Whenever he recalls this incident, whether he is a farmer or most cadres at the grassroots level, he is always grateful for the care, love, help and enthusiasm of the so-called educated youth with family background problems.

Feelings.

This is a story for later.

After more than a month of busy work, everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.

If you want to return to the city due to illness, the last hurdle is the Educated Youth Office in Ningcheng City, where your original household registration is.

When leaving the county Educated Youth Office, Lao Xu hinted to the original owner: "Usually, the review of the Educated Youth Office where the original household registration is located is extremely strict, especially when encountering individual rivals.

No matter what kind of disease, they will send people to review the whole process.

Many people have fallen here, failed in their efforts, and have endless regrets... I wish you good luck!"

The original owner finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

He held Lao Xu's hand tightly, speechless, and just nodded his head.

At this moment, he had no way out.

Even if there is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den in front of us, we must break through!

He took the last long-distance bus of the day and rushed to Ningcheng without stopping...

Early the next morning, the original owner peed, mixed with his own blood and egg whites, prepared urine for review, filled four small vials, and hid them in different places all over his body.

Be prepared for investigation.

Then he took two tablets of ephedrine, prayed silently in his heart, muttered some words, and strode towards the Ningcheng City Educated Youth Office.

Life and death, success or failure, all depend on this one move.

A large office in the Ningcheng City Educated Youth Affairs Office was crowded with people, including those doing business, those watching, and those seeking information.

The receptionist was a very capable middle-aged man.

When the original owner submitted the medical certificate and application report, he carefully read the signatures and official seals of all levels on all the documents several times.

Then, staring at the original owner for a long time, he asked: "Excuse me, what disease do you have?"

When the original owner heard this, he was stunned and thought to himself: Didn't it clearly say that it was nephritis on the disease certificate?

Why did he ask that?

Is it to further confirm something?

Is it a test? Or a formulaic question?

The original owner couldn't help but feel anxious...

"It's nephritis!" It took him a long time to regain his composure, and he quickly replied respectfully.

"It's glomerulonephritis!" he added hastily.

"Have you checked again?" the capable middle-aged man asked immediately.

"I have been re-examined. It was a comrade from the County Educated Youth Office who took me to the county hospital for re-examination." The original owner pointed to the medical certificate from the county hospital and answered tremblingly.

After saying this, the original owner's forehead was already covered with big beads of sweat.

At this time, the middle-aged man looked over and over carefully the medical certificate from the county hospital.

Then, he first looked like he was thinking, then suddenly raised his head and stared at the original owner with a strange look, which made the original owner feel numb all over again.

I saw the middle-aged man slightly raising the corners of his mouth, with a mysterious smile on his face.

Immediately, he took the medical certificate and quickly walked to another office.

Oh my god! It seems that I really met a rival. I will send someone to review the whole process. Why the hell am I so unlucky?!

The original owner didn't know what kind of medicine the middle-aged man was selling in the gourd. He was frightened and muttering in his heart, but he could only stand there pretending to be calm, not daring to move.

Just as the middle-aged man stood up and left, onlookers came up to him one after another and asked all kinds of incomprehensible questions to the original owner.

"Hey! Is this disease easy to treat?" The person who asked this question was a young man.

"Can I recover from this disease in the future?" asked another young man, who looked like an educated youth who was jumping in line.

"Why did you get this disease at such a young age, tsk tsk..." The person who said this was a middle-aged woman. I don't know whether she was envious or regretful.



In response to the questions asked by these bystanders, the original owner did not dare to answer a word other than humming, hahaha, and squeaking.

He knows in his heart that talking too much will lead to mistakes!

I was afraid that just like when I was tested for hepatitis for the first time at the commune health center, if I didn't pay attention, I would be exposed and all my previous efforts would be wasted.

Ten minutes passed, but the original owner felt that it had been a long and difficult wait...

The middle-aged man finally came back in a big way. He strode straight to the original owner and stared at him.

In front of everyone present, he said in a very stern and unquestionable tone: "The people from Yongfeng County Hospital said that the County Educated Youth Office did not take you for a review!"

Judging from the undoubted tone, it seemed that he had already made a long-distance call with Yongfeng County and got confirmation.

The pair of eyes that seemed relatively kind before suddenly emitted two sharp rays of light, which seemed to penetrate the original owner's internal organs.
To be continued...
