Chapter 261 Saving the Level 8 Fitter
Since that day, things have changed between Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou.

Having lived two lives, Su Nuannuan quickly realized it.

However, considering the turmoil in the next few years, Su Nuannuan felt it was better to let things take their course.

Moreover, Chu Mingzhou didn't reveal the relationship between the two, so Su Nuannuan pretended not to know.

Instead of worrying yourself, enjoy the present moment.

Su Nuannuan quickly put her thoughts aside and threw herself into her current life.

On Friday, Zhang Lingze found Su Nuannuan and told her that someone from Haishi needed Su Nuannuan to perform a finger transplant.

Zhang Ling looked at Su Nuannuan, somewhat embarrassed.

"This man is an eighth-level fitter. He accidentally injured his hand while making a precision part. His son has some connections and knows that you can perform finger replantation surgery, so he came to me. Nuannuan, if possible, I hope you can take on this surgery."

In this era, without machine tools, an eighth-level fitter could handcraft a gun.

The eighth-grade fitter was the highest level in China's historical system of skilled worker ranks. In an era when industry was underdeveloped, an eighth-grade fitter was a rare talent in the country.

It takes at least twenty years for a fitter to reach the eighth level of skill.

Therefore, every Grade 8 fitter is extremely valuable.

If a fitter injures his hand, he's basically ruined.

This is also why Zhang Lingze asked Su Nuannuan for help with the surgery.

Although Su Nuannuan had previously taught the doctors in the hospital how to perform finger replantation surgery, no one had yet been able to successfully complete the operation.

Su Nuannuan remains the only person in China who can perform finger replantation surgery.

Zhang Ling asked Su Nuannuan for help, not only because of the son of that level eight fitter, but also because of his own reasons.

Su Nuannuan didn't quite understand the concept of an eighth-level fitter, but when her teacher asked her for the first time, she readily agreed.

She understands her teacher.

Someone who can inspire their teacher must be someone who has made contributions to the country.

After asking Ouyang Suiping for leave, Su Nuannuan went to the First People's Hospital of Beijing with Zhang Lingze.

On the way, Su Nuannuan also learned about the patient's basic situation.

The patient's name was Su Daping, an eighth-grade fitter at the Second Steel Plant in Haishi. His son was Su Lianhe, a soldier in the Third Military Region of Southern China.

Su Daping is one of only two grade eight fitters in the factory, and he has worked there for twenty-five years. During that time, with his help, many parts for important equipment were manufactured.

Some of the work was kept secret. It's fair to say that even Su Daping himself didn't know where the parts he made were used.

Su Daping's contributions were all remembered by the higher authorities.

This time, Su Daping accidentally cut his finger on a machine while making a batch of precision parts.

At his age, Su Daping could have worked for the factory for another ten years. However, if his hands were ruined, his skills as an eighth-grade fitter would be greatly diminished.

The steel mill will also lose an eighth-grade fitter.

For whatever reason, no one wanted Su Daping's fingers to be ruined.

Therefore, immediately after the accident, the Shanghai No. 2 Steel Plant used its connections to contact doctors in many hospitals in Shanghai. Even foreign doctors were invited to treat Su Daping.

However, the results were all the same: it was incurable.

Su Daping was a stubborn man who took pride in his status as an eighth-grade fitter his entire life. After learning that his finger could not be cured, Su Daping stopped eating and drinking.

No matter how others try to persuade me, it's no use.

Finally, Su Lianhe found out that someone in Beijing could perform finger replantation surgery.

Knowing that his finger could still recover, Su Daping was filled with hope again. Seeing his father like this, Su Lianhe quickly used his connections to ask Su Nuannuan to help with the surgery.

At this point, more than two hours had passed since Su Daping was injured.

As is well known, finger replantation surgery is best performed within six hours of the injury. If this time has passed, the surgery is highly likely to fail.

Su Nuannuan had mentioned this to the doctors at the hospital.

Therefore, when Su Lianhe contacted Zhang Lingze, Zhang Lingze immediately instructed him to send the person to the capital.

At the same time, they informed the other party of the timing of the finger replantation surgery.

Su Lianhe and the director of the No. 2 Steel Plant in Haishi began to use their connections to send Su Daping to Beijing.

They acted quickly; by the time Su Nuannuan and Zhang Lingze arrived at the hospital, Su Daping had also been brought there.

Beijing First People's Hospital had already received the news, and the operating room was ready.

When Su Nuannuan arrived, she was dressed in sterile gown with the help of a nurse and taken into the operating room.

Upon entering, Su Nuannuan was stunned by the scene inside the operating room.

This operating room is very large; besides the small area where surgery is performed, there is a lot of empty space around it.

At this moment, the place was full of people, all of whom were wearing sterile gowns.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were there for surgery.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Lingze said to Su Nuannuan.

"Nuan Nuan, they're here to observe and learn. Just do your thing and don't worry about them."

In this era, there was no recording technology, so the simplest way to learn about surgical procedures was to observe others performing surgery.

Su Nuannuan nodded, indicating that she understood.

The most important thing now is to perform surgery on the patient.

Before arriving, Su Nuannuan had already learned that five and a half hours had passed since Su Daping entered the operating room and injured his finger.

Therefore, Su Nuannuan did not waste any time and immediately began the surgery.

Unlike his previous self-operated finger replantation surgery, Su Daping's finger was not completely severed; only half of it was cut off.

Su Nuannuan examined the wound and found that it had been treated well with no signs of infection.

What made Su Nuannuan most gratified was that the wound was very smooth, and there was no damage to blood vessels, nerves, or tendons.

After the assessment was completed, Su Nuannuan began the surgery.

Because the wound arrived late, Su Nuannuan acted quickly. She swiftly cleaned the wound, then set the bone and sutured it.

Su Nuannuan's movements were smooth and fluid, like a perfect artistic feast.

All the doctors present were amazed.

They had heard that Su Nuannuan was highly skilled in surgery before, but they didn't expect her to be this skilled.

Of everyone present, apart from Zhang Lingze and Wu Yingping, no one else could reach this level.

Zhang Lingze and Wu Yingping possess such surgical skills solely because they have performed numerous surgeries. Meanwhile, Su Nuannuan, a college student who hasn't even started working yet, demonstrates this level of surgical proficiency.

They could only think of one reason: exceptional talent!

Clearly, Zhang Lingze and Wu Yingping felt the same way. They looked at Su Nuannuan as if she were a priceless treasure.
