Chapter 180 45+1=46
Meng Sisi is so proud these days. When she thinks of marrying Cao Xiaoqiang, she has a support from now on. Meng Sisi's heart is always immersed in the sweetness of honey.
"We were walking on the road, full of energy..." Meng Sisi hummed a song that day and came out of the Beijing Film Studio with her colleagues. She was wearing a sweater given to her by Xiaoqiang, a half-old navy blue medium-length tweed coat on the outside, and a pair of cotton shoes under her feet, which was a bit of a mix-and-match feeling. For a beauty, she actually wears the same thing.
However, Meng Sisi was reluctant to take off the sweater that Xiaoqiang gave her since she put it on. After wearing it, her colleagues praised the sweater for being good and beautiful, and asked where to buy the thread? Who helped me knit it? How did the needle move the weaving method? Meng Sisi proudly told others that it was given by her boyfriend, which immediately triggered a sound of blessing. Her colleagues all knew that Meng Sisi met a young man at the dance party, but she didn't expect that the two of them were doing well and had already confirmed their relationship.
Meng Sisi and her colleague Zhong Xiaoyan just participated in the rehearsal of a revolutionary drama today and will perform on the People's Stage next week. There are few opportunities to act in movies this year, and the actors in the film factory are equivalent to working in a drama troupe. You can't have a free meal, right?
The two of them were talking and laughing, humming songs from time to time, chatting about work and family matters casually, walking towards the dormitory.
Just as I walked to the corner of the small street in the dormitory, Meng Sisi saw a math formula 45+1=46 written on the wall around the corner with white chalk graffiti on the arithmetic formula that elementary school students would do.
What does this mean? Meng Sisi’s colleagues obviously cannot understand it.
Meng Sisi suddenly shivered in fear, and stood there stiffly, as if her soul had been sucked away. If it weren't for the help of her colleagues, she would have almost collapsed on the ground.
"It's me who adds you to you equal victory." This is what the Military Commission repeatedly told her to remember when training Meng Sisi. Once her single-line superior is arrested, if a superior comes to contact her again, this homonym 45+1=46 will be used.
Although Meng Sisi felt that this was funny when she first learned these code words and joint symbols, as a Puhai native who spoke soft words, she always remembered the difficult 46 of this code word as victory, and could only remember it as "lost".
At this moment today, Meng Sisi felt that she was losing herself drastically and was constantly falling in a bottomless black hole. Rather than saying that this was loss, it was a kind of fear brought by boundless darkness.
"Si Si Si? Si Si? What's wrong with you?" Zhong Xiaoyan was frightened by Meng Si Si's performance and asked hurriedly.
Meng Sisi's face turned pale, her beautiful and delicate chin and lips were trembling, and she squeezed out in despair and said, "I... have a stomachache..."
Seeing that Meng Sisi was like a dysmenorrhea attack, Zhong Xiaoyan quickly helped Meng Sisi walk to the dormitory. Along the way, Meng Sisi was desperate and helpless all the way, thinking "What to do! What to do? What should I do?"
Meng Sisi leaned on the bed half lying, covering half a quilt on her chest, looking out of her mind. Her heart was now overturned.
Zhong Xiaoyan has the general enthusiasm of people in this era. While helping Meng Sisi get hot water from the public tiger stove in the collective dormitory of Beijing Film Studio, she also brought her own soup pot and stuffed it into Meng Sisi's quilt.
"Xiaoyan, thank you, I'm much better." Meng Sisi said gratefully.
"What are you grateful for? Don't talk, just lie down." Zhong Xiaoyan said cheerfully.
"Xiaoyan, go ahead and don't worry about me, I'll sleep for a while." Meng Sisi said apologetically.
Seeing that Meng Sisi was indeed no longer in pain, Zhong Xiaoyan nodded: "Then please be careful to rest, and call me if you have something to do."
Zhong Xiaoyan took her to the door and left Meng Sisi's room, leaving Meng Sisi alone to think. She was confused and didn't know how to face the crisis in front of her. She grabbed her hair, buried her head in the quilt on her knees, and let out a silent and heartbreaking scream from her throat like crazy.
Cao Xiaoqiang got into the car, and Liu Zhen was familiar with it and sent him to the Beijing Film Academy dormitory. When he arrived at the venue, Xiaoqiang took out the things he brought to Meng Sisi from the trunk. These were simple foods bought from the supermarket, but for the 1950s, they were very expensive.
There were too many things, so Liu Zhen helped Xiaoqiang carry two bags and enter the dormitory courtyard together.
Xiaoqiang's moving movement alarmed Zhong Xiaoyan, who was cooking hot water at the edge of the tiger stove in the bungalow not far from the dormitory. She had met Cao Xiaoqiang at the Zhongnanhai dance. "Isn't this Meng Sisi's boyfriend?" she thought. "Well, this must be here to see Meng Sisi."
Zhong Xiaoyan carefully placed the thermos in her hand in the corner of the wall that was not easy to be kicked, walked to Cao Xiaoqiang in two steps and said, "You are Cao Xiaoqiang, are you? Are you here to find Meng Sisi?"
Cao Xiaoqiang was stunned by the sudden killing Zhong Xiaoyan and said silly: "Hey, yes, yes."
Zhong Xiaoyan hurriedly and enthusiastically took Xiaoqiang upstairs, although Xiaoqiang was completely lost. While going upstairs, Zhong Xiaoyan talked about Meng Sisi's sudden discomfort today.
"Si Si was fine when she was at work today, but suddenly she couldn't do it on the way off work. Her stomach hurt so much. I think it was probably... that." Zhong Xiaoyan was quick to speak, but after all, she was a girl. When she talked about her guess, she said dysmenorrhea as "that".
Xiaoqiang nodded and probably understood it. Although he was not very clear, he also knew that it was probably what it meant.
Meng Sisi's door was not locked, and Zhong Xiaoyan just took it with her when she left before. At this time, when she pushed the door, Xiaoqiang saw Meng Sisi, who was pale and scattered in her hair, and she was sitting on the bed in a daze.
Xiaoqiang quickly threw down the bag in his hand, sat on the side of Meng Sisi's bed and asked, "Sisi, what's wrong with you? Where is it uncomfortable? Can I take you to the hospital?"
Seeing Xiaoqiang suddenly coming, Meng Sisi replied in a hurry: "It's okay, I had a little stomachache just now, but now it's much better and it doesn't hurt at all."
As he said that, as if he was eager to distract the topic, Meng Sisi asked casually: "Xiaoqiang, why are you here? Are you getting off work?"
Xiaoqiang sincerely held Meng Sisi's hand and said, "Fortunately I'm here, otherwise I won't even know you are sick. I have to take medicine for my stomach aches. I'll get some medicine for you."
Regardless of Meng Sisi's dissuasion, Xiaoqiang asked Liu Zhen to go home without hesitation to bring the small medicine box he had brought before. After hearing this, Liu Zhen quickly put down the bag and went back to get the medicine box.
Meng Sisi herself knew that she was a heart disease and that it was not effective for taking medicine. On the one hand, she was grateful for Xiaoqiang's considerateness, but on the other hand, she was worried about her miserable fate.
Seeing that Meng Sisi was not in high mood, she was still very stable. It seemed that her stomach was really no longer hurt. So she opened the bags one by one like offering treasures. The canned lunch meat and canned yellow peaches, dried red wine and Jinhua ham, vacuum-packed Cantonese sausage and Dezhou braised chicken, silver Oreo packaged in the bag, beef, jerky pork jerky, etc. piled up the table.
Although Meng Sisi was happy and curious when she looked at these foods, she lost the usual excitement. She said softly: "Where did you come from so much food? Why don't you keep it for yourself? I see that you have lost weight again this time and your face is so pale."
Meng Sisi saw Zhong Xiaoyan standing aside and looking at them curiously, and then introduced: "This is Zhong Xiaoyan, my good friend, thanks to her sending me back to the dormitory today."
Xiaoqiang quickly stood up and shook hands with Zhong Xiaoyan formally, then quickly picked up the bag and divided the food into half, and forced it to Zhong Xiaoyan.
By the way, Zhong Xiaoyan was already stupid when she saw these foods. These foods looked so high-end, shining with silver. Seeing Xiaoqiang forced her to give her a bag, I don’t know how much it would cost to buy them! She waved her hand and said, “You can’t ask for it or not. It’s okay for colleagues to help each other. If you talk, I’ll leave first.” As she said that, she was about to turn around and leave.
Xiaoqiang grabbed Zhong Xiaoyan and said, "Comrade Xiaoyan, don't be polite. I am busy usually and don't have much time to come to take care of Sisi. If you have any problems in the future, I will ask you to take care of her."
As he said that, he insisted on asking Zhong Xiaoyan to take two large bags of food.
Zhong Xiaoyan was pulled tightly by Xiaoqiang, for fear of tearing the torn cotton coat to pieces, and she couldn't persuade Cao Xiaoqiang, so she blushed and took two bags of food. She pinched her in a low voice: "I'll leave first, I'll call me if I have something to do."
Xiaoqiang said a few words to Meng Sisi, touched Meng Sisi's forehead, and only felt relieved after confirming that she was not suffering from fever.
Liu Zhen brought the small medicine box in a short while. He hurriedly knocked on the door and came in, and said to Xiaoqiang with his ears: "The Prime Minister wants to see you."
Although Liu Zhen's voice was small, Meng Sisi heard the low male voice in this quiet room, as if a thunderous sound came from her ears.
"The Prime Minister wants to meet Xiaoqiang? Cao Xiaoqiang... Cao Xiaoqiang! How big should you be the official? Is it right or wrong for me to find you?" Meng Sisi was shocked and felt very confused.
When Xiaoqiang heard that it was the Prime Minister's business, he dared not delay it. He immediately stood up and said, "Si Si, I'm so sorry. I still have business work in the evening. You eat something hot tonight and rest early. I'll come to see you tomorrow. You have my address. If there is anything urgent, you can ask Zhong Xiaoyan to come to me. This Fen must have headaches, toothaches, menstruation, and it's good. One pill at a time, and this bottle of coptis vegetarian food should be eaten. Two pills at a time. Remember? Then you have a good rest."
Meng Sisi hurriedly said, "You go and do it, don't worry about me, I'm really fine."
Seeing that Meng Sisi seemed to be much more energetic, Xiaoqiang nodded and left with Liu Zhen with the medicine box.
After Xiaoqiang left, Meng Sisi held the fin in her hand and looked carefully. The transparent bubbles of the tin foil were filled with capsules. The medicine inside was Fen Bid? It was orange-red and red, which looked very beautiful. There were also very small English words written on the capsules. God knows how it was printed. Meng Sisi whispered: "f~e~n~b~i~d."
"So this medicine is really called Fenbid!"
The silver tin foil on the back of this bubble plate says Sino-US SK, Fenbid ibuprofen sustained release capsules, and also says Chengren is one tablet at a time, twice a day. This must be a particularly high-end drug, right? I have never seen such a drug in my life! The following is also exp: 2014-12-27, what does it mean? Numbering? Meng Sisi doesn't care much.
The berberine was very ordinary in a glass bottle, but this was not cheap medicine in the 1950s. It was really a luxury to give it one bottle at a time.
Meng Sisi was sitting there, she was going crazy at this time, busy thinking about it in her mind:
