Chapter two hundred and fifty seventh meritorious service
After seeing off the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Li Chu had nothing to do today. He originally planned to write that report today, but as a result, his wife arranged for him to clean the house over there last night.
After thinking about it, he turned around and walked to the director's office, said hello to Director Sun, returned to the consulting room, carried his bag on his back and went to the pharmacy to say another word to Ding Qiunan, then left the hospital and headed to the courtyard.
It had been a while since he had been here. When the neighbors in the alley saw him, they all greeted him warmly.
When he reached the door of the courtyard, Li Chu stopped and looked up at the courtyard.
It had been three years since he moved away, but nothing seemed to have changed, and at the same time it seemed that a lot had changed, which gave him an indescribable feeling.
"Hey, Xiaochu, why are you here at this hour?"
Following the sound, Li Chu turned around and saw the third aunt and several aunts from the courtyard and alley walking past together. Looking at the things they were carrying, they must have just returned from shopping for groceries.
He smiled and said hello to several people: "Third aunt, you are going shopping for groceries."
"There's nothing going on right now. Let's go to the market together. Xiao Chu will come over to have dinner at home at noon!"
As soon as he heard the third aunt's words, the alarm bells in Li Chu's heart rang loudly.
These three aunties and the third uncle have learned a lesson long ago. A penny can be split into three-petal flowers. Even if they don’t go to your house to eat, how can they kindly invite you to eat at his house? There must be something going on.
Son.
Li Chu laughed and didn't dare to answer, so he turned around and walked into the courtyard.
But he still couldn't escape, and the third aunt finally stopped him.
"Xiao Chu, wait a minute, our Lao Yan just said he wants to find you recently."
"Uh, Third Aunt, what's the matter?" Li Chu was a little helpless, but he had been stopped, so he had no choice but to ask.
"Okay, Xiao Chu, if you don't want to leave at noon, come over and have dinner at home, and let Lao Yan tell you then."
"Third Aunt, if you have anything to say, just say it. There's no need to eat. I'll probably leave soon." He didn't want to go to the third uncle's house for dinner. Not to mention that he was a soft-mouthed cannibal, he just ate peanuts at the third uncle's house.
He couldn't bear the stress of counting.
The third aunt hesitated for a moment: "I'd better wait until Lao Yan comes back to tell you. I, a woman, can't explain it clearly."
After all, it looked like something was serious. Li Chu felt his head throbbing and painful.
"Okay, I'll probably be in my room later. When the third uncle comes back, please ask him to come find me."
"Okay, okay," the third aunt said with a smile on her face.
"Hey, Xiao Chu, why did you come here today?"
"Oh, I have nothing to do today and come over to clean up the house."
"Hey, you have to be angry. I'll go back and put down the dishes and come over to help you."
"No, no, third aunt, you really don't need it, I'll just clean it up without bothering you."
"Don't be polite to me, Xiao Chu."
"I'm not being polite to you. I'll go into the house first, Aunt Three."
When he reached the door of his house, Li Chu turned around and saw that the third aunt had already entered his house.
I reached out and took out the mask from my bag and put it on first. I haven't cleaned the house for a long time. I guess the soil in the house is about a foot thick.
Then he took out the key and opened the door. Sure enough, as soon as the door was opened, a cloud of dust was brought up along with it.
Li Chu stood at the door for a while before walking into the room.
He took the washbasin and filled it with water. He sprinkled some water on the floor in the room before starting to clean the table.
What he was doing here was in full swing, and Minister Li in the department was in a daze holding a briefing sent by the army.
This notification was a notification of meritorious service. The person who made the meritorious service was clearly Li Chu, and he was awarded second-class merit.
Minister Li frowned and read the notice from beginning to end several times. It was true, the name was correct, the age was correct, and the workplace was correct, but why was there no meritorious service?
What on earth did he do, and how could he be given a second-class merit by the army?
Putting down the briefing in his hand, Minister Li picked up the phone on the table and dialed. The call was quickly connected. He only said a word and put down the phone.
Just a few minutes after I put down the phone, there was a knock on the door.
The person who came in was Director Cheng of the Health Bureau.
"Director Cheng, sit down and take a look at this."
As he spoke, Minister Li handed over the notification.
After Director Cheng took it, he found that it was a notice of meritorious service and awards. He couldn't help but murmured in his heart. Show him what this means.
But as he read on, he understood why the leader showed him this.
"Minister, is this...is this our Li Chu?"
Director Cheng raised his head and pointed at the notice and asked.
"Yeah, it seems like you don't know anything."
Director Cheng smiled awkwardly: "Minister, I really don't know anything. Could it be with the main hospital..."
Minister Li waved his hand: "Impossible. If it's from the main hospital, how can the ministry not know about it?"
That's right, Director Cheng finally realized. If you have made any special contributions in medical work and need to apply for merit evaluation and awards for the person concerned, you must at least report to the ministry first, and in such cases, the ministry will usually approve it.
, does not need to be reported to the headquarters for approval.
But this merit is directly given by the army headquarters, and its gold content is very high.
These are things that only the chiefs above have the authority to approve.
After thinking about it for a while, Minister Li asked: "Director Cheng, what has Dr. Li been doing recently?"
"What else can he do? He works in the hospital. He is on duty every Thursday, and he also jointly conducts several research projects with other departments in their hospital."
Minister Li fell into deep thought. These are very common tasks. The research on the subject must not have produced results yet, otherwise the ministry would also know about it.
"Okay, Director Cheng, please go over first. Don't spread this matter to anyone yet."
Director Cheng put down the documents in his hands and walked out of the minister's office.
I stood in the corridor and pondered for a while, but I didn't have any clue. Then I shook my head and walked upstairs. Since the leader has said not to spread the word, I won't ask around. Sooner or later, I will know.
After Director Cheng left, Director Li picked up the phone and dialed Director Yang of the hospital.
Within twenty minutes, Dean Yang appeared in the office panting.
As for whether he was really in a hurry or just trying to show off to the boss, that's not clear.
Dean Yang looked at the report in his hand and was also confused.
"Minister, there is something I don't know if it has anything to do with this." Dean Yang said cautiously.
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"At the beginning of the month, something seemed to be wrong with Dr. Li. A military vehicle often came to look for him, but I don't know what the specific reason was."
