Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 33 Trouble
The snow has been falling sparsely for almost a week, and today it finally cleared up.

After seeing off Luo Yang, who had been receiving treatment from him for five days, Li Yancheng stood in the yard and felt the warm winter sun.

Today is the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year will be in three days. Unfortunately, because there is no holiday and the current social environment, we still can’t feel the New Year atmosphere at all.

Although the hospital organizes learning every day, the environment is much broader than that of many other factories and enterprises.

For example, the Second Radio Factory and the Glove Factory where Mr. and Mrs. Zhao work in the front yard are now only open half a day. The other half of the day is spent studying in the auditorium or the conference room.

After all, hospitals have their own special characteristics, and patients cannot be left waiting.

Just as he was enjoying the warm sunshine, the curtain of the next clinic was lifted and a man walked out. It was Zhou Guotao who had gone to the countryside with him.

Seeing Li Yancheng squatting under the eaves, Lao Zhou's eyes lit up. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and walked over.

"I'm not busy anymore Yan Cheng."

"It's all right now."

"What disease does Luo Yang have? Why is it so difficult to treat? He needs an injection every twelve hours."

Li Yancheng stood up and took the cigarette handed to him by Zhou Guotao. He smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, believe me, you don't want to know."

Old Zhou was stunned when he heard this, and immediately thought of Luo Yang's job title. He smiled awkwardly: "I just said it casually, Yancheng, just pretend I didn't ask."

Li Yancheng smiled without saying anything, took out a match and lit the cigarettes for the two of them.

In fact, many people in the hospital were curious about what disease Luo Yang had that required such a complicated treatment process. Including the leaders, they had come to ask about it in a roundabout way over the past two days, but unfortunately, they didn't get anything out of it.

At that time, because there was no particularly strict medical record management, Li Yancheng wrote on the prescription that the patient was suffering from blood deficiency and needed acupuncture treatment, but he didn't even prescribe any medicine. This meant that some people who wanted to see what the disease was through the prescription had no way to find out.

As for the blood deficiency written on the prescription, it is obvious that it was written casually. It is enough to replenish the blood. There is no need for acupuncture. Besides, how can acupuncture replenish blood out of nothing?

Since he didn't say anything, no one could force him to say it. The hospital leaders must have been cursing him in their hearts these past two days.

Director Chen, who was sent by the relevant department of the district to organize everyone's study, was determined to curry favor with Luo Yang. He came here frequently in the past two days, which made Li Yancheng, who wanted to read a book, very annoyed.

Lao Zhou is a good person in every way, except that he likes to meddle in other people's affairs sometimes. In this period, this is not a good habit.

"Yancheng, I want to trouble you for something."

"Brother Zhou said."

"Do you have anything to do tonight? Can you help me take the shift? I'll come over at ten o'clock at the latest, and I'll pay you back the next time you're on duty."

There are inpatients here, and occasionally someone comes to see a doctor at night. All doctors have to be on duty at night, and tonight it is Zhou Guotao's turn.

"No problem." Li Yancheng agreed readily: "How about this, Brother Zhou, let's switch shifts. I'll be on duty tonight and you'll be on duty tomorrow night. How about that?"

"Okay, it's a deal, Yancheng. Thank you."

"Don't be polite, it's just a change of shift."

It just so happened that he had wanted to go to the ghost market at night when the weather cleared up. There was one near Yongdingmen. He could walk there in ten minutes at two or three in the morning, which was much more convenient than riding a bike from home to the ghost market near Chongwenmen.

I just need to call Luo Yang later and ask him to come to the hospital for an injection at 8:30 pm. Since I bought the bicycle that day, although it snowed in the past two days, fortunately it was not heavy. He often went to the vegetable markets in the east and west of the city in the morning. Without meat coupons, he couldn't buy pure meat, so he spent money to buy vegetables. Anyway, he bought meat to eat at home. Although buying vegetables is more expensive than buying meat, it doesn't require coupons, which is the biggest advantage.

In just seven or eight days, he had accumulated nearly two hundred plates of food in his warehouse.

He was determined to go to the ghost market in order to exchange the dozens of kilograms of coarse grains for fine grains. He really couldn't get used to bean flour, corn flour, and especially corn flour, which was even more difficult to swallow, mainly because he didn't know how to cook it.

Fortunately, the four families in their courtyard all have good living conditions. He has to cook almost every day. If he were to go to other courtyards, who knows how much gossip he would cause.

There was no gossip, but trouble had come to their courtyard.

If calculated by population, the per capita living area of ​​No. 20 Courtyard is the largest in Meishan East Hutong, and some people have long been dissatisfied with this.

But since people had lived in this courtyard before liberation and it was not divided up later, those who were jealous could only stare blankly and remain angry.

It was still better before, but since the year before last, people have been fanning the flames without stopping.

But that's just weird. You can't just kick people out. They have the land deeds and house deeds.

Last year, Li Yancheng had that incident. If it hadn't been handled quickly, he might have really been kicked out.

It had been snowing for a week straight these past few days, so the snow didn't accumulate much and a lot of water flowed out, causing the cellar in Courtyard No. 31 to collapse.

The collapse of the cellar caused a chain reaction in which the foundation of the entire yard sank, and the rooms in the yard all became tilted, making it completely uninhabitable and having to be rebuilt.

It can be repaired if there is money. The money is provided by the street office. It is impossible to repair it in winter now. The earliest it can be repaired is after spring.

This courtyard is a large compound with seven households living in it, and we need to arrange accommodation for all of them.

This really stumped the staff of the street office and neighborhood committee.

There are more than a hundred people in these seven families, so how can we accommodate so many rooms?

Some people set their sights on Li Yancheng's house. His main house was big, and if the west wing was added, there would be no problem in arranging it to accommodate the family with the largest population in Courtyard 31. There were 19 people in that family, including the old and the young.

As soon as this idea came out, it immediately received the approval of many people.

But the director of the subdistrict office did not dare to agree to this proposal.

Others may not know this, but he knows clearly that Li Yancheng is currently treating a big shot. Although he does not think this guy's medical skills are that great, he cannot ask him to vacate the house at this juncture.

However, this proposal made him turn his attention to Courtyard No. 20.

The other three families may not be able to do this, but the Cai family can.

The young couple now has two rooms. Why don't we borrow one from them first and then return it to them when Courtyard No. 31 is completed?

So, Cai Fangchao and his wife Fu Xiuli, who were at work, were called back from their workplace with confused looks on their faces. They didn't know what the street office wanted them for.

When Cai Fangchao came back and heard that they were planning to borrow their house, his wife Fu Xiuli exploded before he could say anything.
