Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 618 Decision
Around 1 p.m. on December 28, the personnel who went to Taifeng to investigate returned, and the news they brought back made Tian Linjun frown deeply.

"Director Tian, ​​we've found out. The person who answered the phone was Liu Mulin's father. His family lives right across from that business hall. The clerk said that it seems Liu Mulin's father goes there to answer the phone every Sunday morning around 10 or 11 o'clock."

"Can you confirm that the person who answered the phone was Liu Mulin's father?"

"It's confirmed that he lives there, and the sales staff are very familiar with him."

What is Liu Mulin's father's name?

"His name is Zhao Daguang, and he works at Taifeng Railway Station."

???

Seeing Tian Linjun in a daze, the investigator in charge of the investigation immediately knew what he was thinking and explained, "Director Tian, ​​Liu Mulin takes his mother's surname, and Zhao Daguang is a son-in-law who married into the family."

His mother passed away three years ago, reportedly from heart disease.

"I see." Tian Linjun nodded and said, "Investigate this Zhao Daguang."

"Okay, what about Zheng Fan..."

"I'll arrange for someone else."

"Then I'll head over to Tianchu first."

"it is good"

In the room arranged by the grain and oil store, only Tian Linjun remained. The names Zheng Fan and Liu Mulin alternated in his mind.

The detailed files of the two individuals have been transferred from the Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, and all the information that Director Wang was unaware of is recorded in the files.

Zheng Fan was sent to work in the countryside in Shanxi Province six years ago, while Liu Mulin was sent much earlier, thirteen years ago. He was sent to work in the countryside in Yunnan Province in the southwest.

Five years ago, Liu Mulin married a female comrade who was also a sent-down youth. Three years ago, they were both admitted to university, but the woman applied to a university in her hometown of Jiangsu Province, and the two went through divorce proceedings.

The file looks unremarkable, with nothing to reveal. Whether it's his upbringing before being sent to the countryside, his labor experience during that time, or his two and a half years at university, there's nothing noteworthy about it. He's no different from the millions of other educated youth who went to the countryside.

No, there is a difference, and that is marriage. Generally speaking, when educated youth choose to get married, they marry local people who were sent to the countryside. It is also possible for two people who were both educated youth to get married, but that is really rare.

This doesn't prove anything. It's normal for two people to fall in love with each other, feel hopeless about going home, and then get married. Later, they both got into university, and then they had to face each other from all over the country. After graduation, they couldn't be assigned to the same jobs, so they chose to divorce, which is also understandable.

After letting out a deep sigh, Tian Linjun closed Liu Mulin's file and lit a cigarette, feeling slightly irritated.

Looking at the files alone, he found nothing amiss. Zheng Fan and Liu Mulin's resumes had no blanks, so he couldn't glean anything from the files. To make a breakthrough, he could only start the investigation from the outside.

The records are very detailed, with corresponding witnesses for each stage, making it easy to investigate. However, this also presents a problem: it is very easy to alert the perpetrators.

Should we investigate?
After hesitating for a moment, Tian Linjun quickly made up his mind to investigate. Not only should he investigate, but he should investigate in a high-profile manner. The first step was to make direct contact.

Thinking of this, Tian Linjun stood up and walked outside.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Xiao Zhang, who had been sent to the Civil Affairs Bureau to investigate, walk in through the back door of the grain and oil store.

"Tian Chu"

"Any new developments?"

"The director of the Civil Affairs Bureau's office did provide some interesting information."

"Oh? Let's talk inside."

Upon hearing that there was indeed a new development, Tian Linjun turned around and went back inside.

"That's how it is, Director Tian." As soon as he entered the house and closed the door, Xiao Zhang couldn't wait to say, "The office director of the Civil Affairs Bureau said that when they sent the newly assigned college students to work at the grassroots level, Liu Mulin was not initially assigned to Chengdong District, but to Taifeng District, because his family is from Taifeng. The office director said that this assignment was to take care of these college students and to make them as close to their homes as possible."

Ultimately, Liu Mulin's move to the East District was at his own insistence.

"What about Zheng Fan? Why did he come to the east of the city? I remember his family is from Rouhuai. According to that office director, shouldn't he have been assigned to the Rouhuai County Civil Affairs Bureau?"

"Zheng Fan requested it himself, saying that he could be closer to his partner here."

Did both of them take the initiative to ask for it?

Upon hearing this, Tian Linjun frowned deeply.

It's brewing, so we can only investigate together; there's no way to slack off.

But a new problem has also arisen in front of him.

What should you ask those two people if you meet them head-on?
Ok?
It seems we don't need to consider this; we can ask whatever we want, since the goal is just to alert the enemy.

"Come on, come with me to see Zheng Fan and Liu Mulin."

"Huh?" Xiao Zhang was taken aback. "Director Tian, ​​we... we're just going to see them like this?"

"Yes, let's meet them like this and see how they react."

"But we have no evidence... no, we should say we have no clues. What are we supposed to ask them if we just go to see them like this?"

"Ask them anything you want, the main thing is to see their reaction when they see us."

Now Xiao Zhang understood: the leader was trying to alert the enemy and get that person to make a move.

Only when that person makes a move will they have a chance to seize on something.

While preparing to alert the enemy, Li Yancheng had already completed the first treatment for the patient and left the main hospital.

He dared not stay there any longer; he was afraid.

I'm afraid I won't be able to control my emotions and they'll show.

He was afraid of frightening his family from his previous life.

He still couldn't understand why his mother, who had never had this disease in her previous life, had to suffer like this in this life.

I don't know if I can cure him; I can only do my best.

After completing the first treatment and receiving the doctor's orders, he fled the main hospital as if he were escaping.

As for whether or not to stay here for further treatment, he has said everything he needed to say. The final decision rests with the patient and their family.

"Old Li, what are you thinking?"

After seeing Li Yancheng off, Yao Shumou looked at his father-in-law and asked. Old Li hesitated, unsure of what to do.

Come back home?

That means giving up on treatment altogether. In the doctor's words, if treatment is abandoned, his wife will only have three or four months left at most, and that doesn't even mean she can stay conscious for those three or four months.

Because of a tumor in the brain, and because this tumor is already compressing the optic nerve, if it is allowed to grow unchecked, at the current rate of growth, the patient will probably lose all vision in about ten or twenty days.

And within two months, the patient will fall into a coma and die.

This process is not without sensation; patients will experience great pain during this time, and ordinary painkillers are not very effective.

Old Li knew this very well. His wife had already suffered that kind of torment before coming here. It was because she was in so much pain that they had no choice but to come.

Should we take a gamble on that uncertain future?
Old Li hesitated. Going home meant waiting to die, and staying here also meant waiting to die, because even the expert himself said he wasn't sure and could only do his best.

"dad……"

Just as Lao Li was hesitating, his eldest son Chaoyang and daughter-in-law Lili came out together.

"Dad, let Mom stay here for treatment. The expert said that although he wasn't sure he could cure her, he could at least extend her lifespan. Besides, after the expert finished the treatment, this was the first time in months that Mom could fall asleep without taking any medicine."

Old Li was startled by his eldest son's words. Oh right, how could he have forgotten the purpose of his trip?

Before they came, they hadn't even thought about curing the disease; they just wanted to see if they could help people live a few more years and live a quality life.

And it seems that the expert can do both of these things.

Thinking of this, Old Li turned to look at his father-in-law, Old Yao, then at his eldest son and daughter-in-law, and nodded solemnly in their gaze.

“Treatment is being conducted here.”

After saying that, he paused for a moment, looked at his father-in-law Lao Yao, and continued, "Lao Yao, you should take Chaoyang and Lili back tomorrow. It's not good for them to stay here all the time. After you go back, please ask the station for a longer leave for me."

The expert said that if everything goes smoothly after a month of treatment, then we only need to have treatment once every three months. If it's really as the expert said, then Xiuping and I can go back in a month.

Seeing that Chaoyang was about to say something, Lao Yao waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Chaoyang, just listen to your dad. There's really no use keeping them here. You still have your younger brother and sister. When you go back, you and Lili need to take good care of them so that your mother won't have any worries. Only then can she focus on her treatment here."

As the expert just mentioned, cancer is closely related to the patient's mood. A good mood makes treatment more effective, while a bad mood leads to a different outcome.

Your mother's biggest worry right now is your younger siblings. You're the eldest brother, the pillar of your family, and you must shoulder this responsibility.

Chaoyang nodded silently, without saying anything more about wanting to stay. He knew very well that his father-in-law was right; he had to go back to take care of his younger siblings so that his mother could receive treatment here in peace.

The main reason he didn't want to go back at first and wanted to stay was fear; he was afraid that leaving would be a final farewell.

They have made up their minds to receive treatment here, while Li Yancheng has returned home.

The house was quiet and no one was home, but he didn't pay any attention. He went straight into the main house, went upstairs to change into his home clothes, and then went to the study.

He knew when he left in the morning that at noon, the old master of the Cheng family and his biological mother would go out for a stroll with laughter and joy, and Luo Min had also made an appointment with her friends to go shopping together.

He wouldn't change how he addressed the current matriarch and patriarch of the Cheng family, but he made his two children call one "Grandma" and the other "Grandpa." In any case, the blood flowing in his body was indeed from the Cheng family.

But that's all. A while ago, Fu Shuyi asked him if he could change the surname of the two children back to Cheng, but he flatly refused.

His children can take his surname or Luo Min's surname, but they cannot take a third surname.

For him, Cheng was a third surname.

He was surnamed Li in his previous life, and he still is in this life. He believes this is the will of Heaven, and in his heart, the will of Heaven cannot be defied.

Don't tell me that as an organization member one should be a staunch materialist. If he can transmigrate here, who knows if there are things in this world that science cannot explain?

Sitting down at his desk, Li Yancheng lit a cigarette. As he watched the smoke rise slowly, the image of his mother from his previous life, lying in a hospital bed at the military hospital, flashed through his mind.

He had to think this over carefully. Although he had no precedent of curing patients whose cancer had metastasized, he didn't mind letting his mother from his previous life be that precedent.

In his previous life, his parents were nearly ninety years old and still very energetic. Why should they suffer like this in this life? He decided to fight against fate and snatch them back from the clutches of death.

So what he needs to do next is to perfect the treatment plan. The treatment plans used to treat other patients before can no longer be used because they were unsuccessful.

He wants to change the previous plan.

call……

After letting out a long breath, he reached for a stack of letter paper, picked up a dip pen from the ink bottle, and began to write and draw on the letter paper.

"Da Cheng"

He didn't know how much time had passed when his wife's voice pulled Li Yancheng out of his reverie. Only then did he realize that more than two hours had gone by.

"Honey, you're back from shopping."

He put the dip pen back into the ink bottle, stretched his neck which had become stiff from sitting still for so long, and stood up with a smile.

Seeing him like this, Luo Min, who was standing at the door, smiled and walked in.

Unless there are special circumstances, she would not walk straight in if Li Yancheng was busy in his study; she would only come in after obtaining his permission.

Luo Min knew very well that her husband's job was quite special, and many things were kept secret, even from her.

So at home, this study is practically a forbidden zone. Not only does she not come in often, but the two children are the same way. Outside of the study, they can do whatever they want.

Fortunately, both children are obedient and did not engage in the "you tell me not to do something, but I'll do it anyway" mentality.

"When did you come back?"

Li Yancheng pulled his wife, who was walking towards him, into his arms and buried his head in her neck, greedily inhaling her pleasant scent.

"I just got back a little while ago, and Mrs. Cheng and the old master of the Cheng family have also returned."

When her husband pulled her into his arms, Luo Min didn't look at the things on the table. Instead, she turned her head and gently rested her chin on her husband's head.

"Dacheng, I sense something's off about your mood. Has something happened?"
