Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 369 The Joy of Freeloading, the Memory of Justice
Fangyan found that he hadn't been to Union Hospital for several days.

I've been so busy lately that I barely have time to come over.

When I first started working, I had a lot of free time, so I went to the Union Hospital cafeteria to eat every day.

I had nothing to do in the afternoon, so I went to practice martial arts with Xiao Li.

Xiao Li has been busy recently, and I have been busy too.

But the people here are still very enthusiastic about me.

When I first arrived at the office building, I met a lot of people saying hello.

They are all my former “debate buddies” in the Union Medical College cafeteria.

Some people can't even remember their names.

All I can say is "Oh, it's you! What a coincidence!"

After greeting everyone along the way, Fang Yan arrived at the dean's office.

Fortunately, the dean was in his office today. When he saw Fangyan coming, he warmly welcomed him in.

They also said that the smoked pheasant meat that Zhu Lin sent over yesterday tasted very good and everyone in their family liked it very much.

Fang Yan then remembered that he had asked Zhu Lin to give the gifts from the patients to the leaders.

"As long as you like it!" Fangyan responded with a smile.

Seeing Fangyan's expression, the dean stopped beating around the bush and asked him directly:

"Tell me, is there anything you need my help with?"

"I know you don't come here for no reason. You must be here for something."

Since the other party was speaking so directly, Fangyan didn't waste any more words and just stated his needs.

When the dean heard Fangyan say that he would have to pay for the hot water pipes out of his own pocket, he was a little surprised.

After all, no one has ever made this request before.

After thinking about it, the dean said:

"Please wait a moment. I still need to discuss this matter with the comrades in the logistics department."

“As long as there are no technical issues, then we can go through the process.”

"You have two of our internal employees at home, so you don't have to calculate the cost of wages or anything like that. We can just install it for you according to the employee benefits."

Hearing the dean say that he didn't need to pay, Fang Yan hurriedly said:

"How can you be so embarrassed!?"

I swear to God, he has already prepared the money and he really doesn’t want to get it for free!

Finally, the dean waved his hand and said:
"It's okay. It's almost the end of the year and we haven't used up our budget yet."

“……”Fang Yan finally understood that this was the case.

In this day and age, people often spend their budget suddenly at the end of the year.

If this year's budget is not fully spent, not as much will be approved next year, and the unit will suffer the consequences.

So at the end of the year, we will start distributing benefits and organizing activities to use up the unused money.

"Okay, wait a moment. I'll ask someone to ask the logistics team." The dean stood up and said to Fang Yan.

"Okay." Fangyan agreed.

A few minutes later, the dean returned to the office and said to Fang Yan:

"They said there's no problem and we can go inspect the scene later."

Fang Yan stood up and said to the dean:

"Thank you, Dean!"

The dean waved his hand, then signed a note to Fang Yan and said:
"This construction order will be handed over to the subdistrict office. When the time comes, they will dig the road and lay the pipes. If there are any problems later, the subdistrict office can contact the unit directly."

Fangyan took the note and said:
"Oh, Dean, you are so thoughtful."

The dean smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"I heard that you have been helping edit books at the Ministry of Health's publishing house recently."

Fang Yan quickly said modestly:
"That was led by the research institute, and I was just the one responsible for the work."

The dean said with a smile:

"You are being modest, but you are one of the deputy editors of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. When they invited me and I saw the list of editors, I thought I had read it wrong."

"You can do it, young man!"

Fangyan then realized that what they were talking about was not "Science of Chinese Materia Medica Processing" but "Chinese Pharmacopoeia".

Because the two books unified standards and influenced each other, Fangyan was made one of the deputy editors-in-chief by the editorial committee of the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia".

People like Meng Jimin also became editorial board members.

Reading a book and using it for two purposes is a good idea.

Next, Fangyan exchanged a few polite words with the dean, and then the logistics team arrived.

When I saw Fangyan chatting and laughing with the dean in the office, I said I would go and survey the site first in order to prepare the necessary pipes and radiators.

Fang Yan then said goodbye to the dean, and then left the Union Hospital with "Brother Ma", the head of the logistics team, and came to the Union Hospital villa area, where the boiler was burned.

Following them were several staff members.

The boilers here are separate from the boilers inside the hospital.

Mainly because it was designed this way at the time, so it has been used until now.

But this is more convenient.

It is here that the staff measures the distance with a tape measure.

Then he wrote it down in a notebook, and Ma Ge and Fang Yan chatted on the side.

I have seen him speak this Ma Ge dialect.

Because their logistics team was not far from the oil depot, Fangyan would run into him every time he rode his sidecar to refuel.

It was just that we didn't know each other at the time, but in fact we had met many times before, so we were quite familiar with each other.

Ma Ge also knew that Fang Yan's motorcycle was a gift from the hospital, so when the dean asked someone to install a radiator in Fang Yan's hospital this time, he didn't show any surprise.

He was just a little surprised when he found out that Fangyan was actually Chinese medicine.

He originally thought that Fang Yan was from a leader's family, after all, he could chat and laugh with the dean. It seemed that the dean did a good job in keeping Fang Yan's identity secret.

After measuring various data and information at the Concord Villa District, they started measuring on the road.

Fangyan also took the construction permit and handed it to Director Feng of the Street Office.

When I went in, I happened to meet Director Feng, who was handling a dispute between two neighbors.

One of the reasons was that they had limited equipment in the hospital, so they shared a faucet and had only one electricity meter, which led to a dispute over the sharing of water and electricity bills.

Some people feel that their family spends less while others spend more, so when giving money, they say that they cannot give that much.

Then they started arguing and had a fight.

The case was brought to the attention of the subdistrict office, where Director Feng was asked to handle it.

Another case is about the occupation of public space. Now that the weather has started to get colder, some people have spent money to buy some coal briquettes for heating.

However, he bought a little too many coal briquettes, and the public space was small, so he piled the coal briquettes in the aisle, affecting the passage of other people. The people outside made some sarcastic remarks to their family, and then a quarrel started.

The family that placed the coal briquettes not only refused to admit their mistake, but also said that it was because the family they had quarreled with had privately built a small earthquake-resistant shed in the yard, occupying the public area, squeezing out the neighbors' activity space, and blocking the sunlight for everyone.

That's why he put his coal briquettes in the aisle because there was nowhere else to put them.

The affairs of these two families are simply a mess. Just listening to the stories in dialect gives me a headache, not to mention that Director Feng has to deal with it.

While registering Fangyan, he handed the scene over to a subordinate and asked the girl to handle it.

The girl was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.

After filing the matter here, Fangyan and Ma Ge walked out of the street office again.

Brother Ma lamented that it was really troublesome to live in this slum, and that dialect was the better option, with one courtyard for each family.

After the dimensions of the street were measured, the staff waited at the door of Fangyan's house, ready to go in.

After opening the courtyard door and entering the yard, Fangyan took them around the rooms in the entire courtyard and pointed out to Ma Ge and the others the rooms that needed to be lived in.

It is said that all these places need to be installed with radiators.

The main reason is that these rooms are really big. If they are not decorated, it will be very cold in winter.

After taking a look around, Brother Ma said that in fact all the rooms can be installed. In this way, even if it is frosty or snowy, as long as you enter the room, you will feel warm.

In other words, it needs to be installed in the utility room, bathroom and kitchen.

In fact, he had no intention of installing it in these places, but after being reminded by Ma Ge, he noticed that if the temperature in the room drops below zero, it will have a certain impact on the items in the room, such as freezing the water pipes or the electrical appliances inside.

Fangyan thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, so he agreed.

His face was filled with the joy of getting something for free.

After the measurement was completed, Ma asked when someone would be home tomorrow, because the heating was about to start, so the installation had to be accelerated.

The younger brother following Fangyan immediately said that there was always someone at home.

At this time, his superiority in the family was reflected.

If he wasn't at home, we would have to ask Director Feng to come over tomorrow to help look after things.

After finishing the work here, I sent Ma Ge and his group out the door. Then I looked at the time and found that it was already past 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Because someone is coming to lay pipes tomorrow, even though Fangyan is doing it for free, he should still show his appreciation.

So he did not stay at home. After finding some cigarette and tea tickets, he went to the canteen in Union Hospital.

I bought a few packs of cigarettes and a big bag of tea.

These are used to entertain the workers.

After taking it home, I gave some instructions to my younger brother and asked him to serve cigarettes and tea to the workers when they came tomorrow.

The younger brother was well versed in the ways of the world and agreed immediately, reassuring Fangyan and promising to complete the task.

Then Fangyan saw that it was already four o'clock, and then he remembered that he had to review math with his younger brother today.

So I hurriedly greeted him, picked up the review materials and started explaining them to him.

More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Fangyan tried his own system idea, but found that it was useless. At this time, he felt that his first guess might be correct. He must successfully teach an apprentice to get a proficiency bonus.

Because this is equivalent to using the system to bless another person.

Of course, Fangyan still didn't give up. He planned to try something else tomorrow.

At five o'clock, Fangyan and his younger brother finished an hour of review.

Then the two of them immediately went out to pick up their children from a nearby kindergarten.

It was a little late today, and school was over when they arrived.

But it wasn’t too late, and many people hadn’t left yet.

Today, little Zhao Zhengyi saw his two uncles from a distance and immediately started shouting loudly.

After Fangyan arrived at the team, he was about to be taken away.

But he was stopped by the class teacher, Mr. Ran Tang:

"Doctor Fang... Doctor Fang, I have a question for you."

Fangyan looked curiously at Teacher Tang who was hesitant to speak:

"What's the matter with you?"

Teacher Tang said a little embarrassedly:
"You said yesterday what else needs to be added to the rose tea. I didn't remember it clearly. Can you tell me again?"

Fang Yan was stunned. She didn't expect that Teacher Tang would really listen to advice. She had been quite strong yesterday.

Just as Fang Yan was recalling what he said yesterday, Zhao Zhengyi, a kid standing beside him, said:

"I remember it was nine grams of chrysanthemum, three jujubes, three grams of lily bulbs, and three grams of orange peel!"

After these words were spoken, Fang Yan, Fang Chen and Teacher Tang all looked at him in surprise.

Doesn’t this child have a very good memory?

Fang Yan asked Zhao Zhengyi:
"Justice, do you remember my exact words?"

Zhao Zhengyi nodded seriously:

"I remember everything Master said!"
