The backyard is the inpatient department, and it is said that there is also an anatomy room and a morgue.
It's just that it's rather gloomy there, with overgrown weeds and branches blocking out the sun. Basically no one sets foot in that side yard. [There's a foreshadowing here]
In the front row is a row of shopping malls, including outpatient clinics and pharmacies selling Chinese and Western medicines.
There is also a staff canteen with two bays, which is actually very grand and arranged in a row alongside the outpatient department.
There is nothing we can do about this: there are few staff in the health center, and if we open a staff canteen, we cannot afford to support cooks and handymen.
But if we don't open a canteen, at least there are a few doctors, a few nurses, and family members of hospitalized patients in the health center, and they also need to get food nearby.
It's just that patients and their accompanying family members are often more and less available, so it's difficult to accurately predict their meal needs.
Therefore, the health center opened this canteen for the convenience of employees and patients’ families.
The other one is to allow students from outside and employees from other small units to come and join us.
Only in this way can we support the temporary workers in the canteen.
When Luo Xuan and Bu Yaoming arrived at the health center, they happened to meet Cao Zigao's attending doctor, Dr. Huang, the only serious professional in the health center, eating in the cafeteria.
He is the only technical backbone in the health center, and no one in Hongxing Township knows the mayor.
But there are really not many people who don’t know Dr. Huang.
An iron camp and flowing soldiers.
The township chief is the "flowing water" in front of Dr. Huang.
Bu Yaoming stepped forward and introduced himself to Dr. Huang.
"Ah, you are here?"
Dr. Huang picked up the corn rice in the lunch box and said vaguely, "I was about to have someone send you a message, which involves the follow-up treatment of this patient... uh... cough cough cough!"
Corn rice is not delicious and difficult to digest.
When others eat corn rice, at least 30% of rice is mixed into it to adjust the taste.
But the Doctor Huang in front of him could only see a few grains of rice in his lunch box...
It's the same as the freckles on Wang's face: they are sparse and irritating.
"You...just eat this?"
Bu Yaoming was obviously impressed by the sight in front of him, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside: Dr. Huang did not buy any vegetables, and even if it was only a vegetarian dish that cost 6 cents a portion, he was not willing to buy a portion.
Rice made from corn grits without vegetables!
That was really hard to swallow.
In front of him, there was only half a pickled cucumber, which was covered with the marks of Dr. Huang's teeth.
It can be seen that he is saving even on the pickled cucumbers he brought from home...
During this period, those who lived a more miserable life than Dr. Huang, who could only rely on digging wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger,
have.
And there are not many of them.
But who is Dr. Huang?
He is one of the few intellectuals in the entire Hongxing Township, and he is also one of the "eight members of the township"!
[It will be renamed "Eight Members of the Commune" in the future]
No matter what, Dr. Huang's life is not so miserable.
"This whole grain is good for your health."
Dr. Huang smiled slightly, as if he was already used to being surprised like Bu Yaoming.
I just heard him say calmly, "I am in good health. I need to eat more whole grains to lose weight and get rid of the fat in my body."
lose weight?
Bu Yaoming turned his head and glanced at Luo Xuan, as if he was seeking Luo Xuan's judgment: Is what Dr. Huang said true?
Luo Xuan shook his head slightly.
Losing weight is a lie.
Dr. Huang is so skinny that he can't even shave off a few ounces of fat from his body... What kind of fat has he lost?
However, since the doctor in front of him is unwilling to say anything, others are no longer talkative.
"Are you here to visit Cao Zigao?"
While Dr. Huang was soaking corn rice in cold water in a glass bottle, he asked Bu Yaoming, "This patient's injury is extremely serious, and when you sent him to the hospital, it was a little late."
Bu Yaoming was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly, "Teacher Huang, what's wrong with him? Is it out of control?"
During this period, everyone was accustomed to referring to literate people as "teachers".
Therefore, Bu Yaoming also respectfully calls Dr. Huang "Teacher Huang."
Doctor Huang shook his head, "That's not the case. Fortunately, the patient has a strong will to survive, and our health center happened to have a few planned doses of penicillin.
Now, after we have cleaned and bandaged this patient, his high fever has been controlled.
At present, it seems that the patient's condition has basically stabilized, and as long as he survives the infection period, there should be no major problems."
Bu Yaoming breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."
"but..."
Dr. Huang drawled his voice.
Bu Yaoming was shocked again!
"But what?"
"But there's really nothing we can do about his roots."
Dr. Huang raised the lunch box and swallowed the last bit of corn rice with soup and water in it. "With his injury, he would have been eaten by wild beasts long ago.
Not to mention our rural health center, even if he is sent to the provincial capital or a large hospital in the capital, there is nothing we can do to rebuild him..."
When Bu Yaoming heard this, he was completely relieved.
If it's gone, it's gone. As long as you can survive with one life.
Ask for something bigger!
——It’s not mine anyway.
"Huh? Are you Luo Xuan?"
Dr. Huang put down his lunch box, as if he had just come to his senses, and said to Luo Xuan, "Good boy! I know you. My second son, Huang Huade, is your classmate."
Luo Xuan is now a somewhat famous person in Hongxing Township, so many people know him.
This is not surprising either.
As for the Huang Huade Dr. Huang mentioned, Luo Xuan knew a little bit about it.
In the class 62 that I am skipping now, there is a student who lives in a rural town, and his name is indeed like this.
And this Huang Huade seems to be a distant relative of Chen Xiaoduan.
But because Chen Xiaoduan’s family is a bit special.
And the background of Dr. Huang is actually not much better than that of Chen Xiaoduan.
In order to avoid any adverse effects on each other, Chen Xiaoduan and Dr. Huang basically have no contact with each other on weekdays.
Huang Huade is a relatively honest person, a kind of honest person who cannot be pulled out if thrown into a crowd.
In addition, he had no intention of hanging out with those guys, so Luo Xuan didn't have a clear impression of Dr. Huang's son.
"dad..."
At this moment,
A timid voice sounded from beside the simple dining table, "Dad, our school has organized us to go to the county to participate in the National Day performance..."
Dr. Huang was startled when he heard this, "Isn't that great?"
His background is not good, it can be said to be extremely poor.
Therefore, Dr. Huang's son does not receive much attention in school.
In many literary and artistic activities, Huang Huade was basically not allowed to participate.
For this reason, Huang Huade often hid in bed and cried secretly at night.
Now Dr. Huang suddenly heard that his son was qualified to go to the county to participate in such an important art performance, and he was stunned on the spot!
Huang Huade twisted the corner of his clothes and stammered, "But...but..."
"But what? Haven't I always taught you three siblings to be upright and do things decently?"
Doctor Huang's face darkened, "What's the matter that you can't tell frankly?"
"The school requires everyone to wear white sneakers when participating in the performance this time..."
Huang Huade knew that his family was not in ordinary difficulties, and it was extremely difficult to buy such a pair of "Hui Alai" white sneakers.
But...this performance is so important to me.
so,
Huang Huade, who was constantly conflicted, finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to find his father.
"Well, your performance in the county this time is very important."
Doctor Huang gritted his teeth, then stood up and said, "Hua De, you wait here first... Your classmate Luo Xuan is here, you have a good chat with him!
If you want to learn something, you have to spend more time with people who are better than you. It is better to look up and look into the distance than to look down and worry about the three inches under your feet."
Said,
Dr. Huang nodded to Bu Yaoming and Luo Xuan, signaling them to wait a moment.
"Hello Luo Xuan."
When Dr. Huang left, Huang Huade became more down-to-earth and generous.
He nodded slightly towards Luo Xuan, "I am your new classmate, my name is Huang Huade. If I don't understand anything in the future, can I ask you for advice?"
This is a well-educated and open-minded little boy!
Luo Xuan immediately felt fond of him, "How about you, classmate Huang Huade. Don't be so polite. Let's learn from each other and make progress together."
Through purposeful and consciously guided chatting with Huang Huade, Luo Xuan finally realized that Dr. Huang was the only one in his family who had a job.
Huang Huade has a younger brother and a 17-year-old older sister.
After graduating from junior high school, this sister has been working at home. She usually wants to work in a matchbox factory run by the street. She wants to earn about 10 yuan a month to supplement the family income, but she can't get in.
There is nothing we can do.
Although Dr. Huang, as the only serious doctor in Hongxing Township, was supposed to be highly respected and well-fed, he was unable to solve his daughter's work problem.
During this period, arrangements for educated youths to go to the countryside had actually begun.
It's just not on a large scale.
Dr. Huang's eldest daughter is frail.
If she can no longer solve her work problem, she will most likely be sent to the countryside...
It would be good to go to remote rural areas for exercise.
But Bashu Province is already remote enough. No matter how remote it is... you can imagine how remote it would be?
Moreover, Dr. Huang's eldest daughter may not be able to do much farm work with her physical condition.
Everyone knows that it is easier to go to the countryside than to return to the city. How many people have failed on the way back?
Now Dr. Huang's family is worried about this matter, and their hair is falling out!
Luo Xuan and Huang Huade were talking, and soon Dr. Huang came back.
I saw him take out a crumpled "yellow toad" from the pocket of his white coat, handed it to Huang Huade and said, "I don't understand this either. I don't know if this little money is enough? If it's not enough, I will give it to Huang Huade."
Go find someone to borrow some..."
"Enough is enough!"
Before the embarrassed Huang Huade could speak, Luo Xuan took the 5-yuan note and pulled Huang Huade away, "Uncle Bu, you talk to Teacher Huang here. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy shoes."
Pull-back shoes, like military caps, were fashionable equipment that countless teenagers dreamed of and desperately wanted to own during this period.
And the pull-back shoes of this period are really not cheap!
Especially the high-waisted "Hui Alai" basketball shoes.
With Dr. Huang's salary, even if he doesn't eat or drink for a month, he can only afford 2 pairs at most...
White pull-back sneakers are a bit cheaper, but they cost far more than 5 yuan a pair.
A pair of parallel-imported Hui-li shoes costs 13.79 yuan; the most expensive model of licensed Hui-li shoes can be sold for 32 yuan and 40 cents!
No wonder until the 1970s, if anyone went out wearing pull-back shoes, he would most likely have to go home barefoot at night... and his shoes would be robbed by hooligans.
[Writer Wang Shuo once wrote about this matter]
It can be seen from this that it is not easy to buy a pair of pull-back shoes.
[Remarks: Pull-back shoes are both licensed and parallel imports, but these parallel imports are not fake.
It's because during this period, trademarks were not taken seriously enough, and everyone could produce the same brand of goods.
Just like in the past two years, "Dongfanghong" brand tractors are being produced by more than one factory.]
