Idle Chats in the 60s

Jiang Mengxue dreamed that she would return to several decades ago. She decisively sold all her property and filled the warehouse space of the bracelet left by her grandmother.

When Gu Qingbe...

Chapter 14 Patient

The bad thing about cooking for one person is that you can't finish whatever you make. If you don't have space, you'll have to eat leftovers every day.

Put the red-hot coal balls into an iron bucket and store them in a safe place, and take them out when you need them at night.

After dinner, I picked up my bag and prepared to go to work.

Aunt Cao happened to come in from outside the yard and greeted them cheerfully, which was unusual for her.

"Hey, Doctor Jiang, are you ready for work? Mid-Autumn Festival is in a couple of days. What are you giving out at the hospital?"

"Aunt Cao, have your Uncle Cao and his family already sent out holiday gifts? Our hospital doesn't even know about it." Jiang Mengxue was puzzled. When did Aunt Cao become so enthusiastic towards her?

But the other party obviously didn't think anything was wrong, and continued with a smile: "Hey, they haven't distributed it yet, but it should be the same as in previous years, no changes. Okay, I'm going home to do the laundry, you should go back to work."

Jiang Mengxue was quite surprised at how Aunt Cao had changed so quickly. She was not like this before.

Although he usually doesn't have any bad intentions, his mouth is not very pleasant.

As soon as I entered the hospital, I saw a lot of people gathered around the nurses' station, and several doctors were also gathered together.

"What is everyone doing here?"

At this sentence, everyone's heads turned at once. Being stared at by so many eyes made me feel uneasy.

It was Sister Liu who broke the deadlock, smiling and saying, "Doctor Jiang, we heard that there will be a Mid-Autumn Festival benefit distribution today, and everyone is discussing what it will be."

Speaking of this, Jiang Mengxue is also very interested. It is her first time to experience benefits distributed by the company.

"Have you all heard the news? What's going on?"

"Hey, we just got here, so we don't know anything yet. The logistics people have been very busy recently, and we didn't even run into them in the cafeteria. Anyway, we'll know when the leader comes later. We should all go back and do the ward rounds and read the newspaper."

Doctor Wang spoke, and everyone went to their offices.

Jiang Mengxue followed Li Fengjuan back to her office.

Considering the fact that I would be going home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, I asked, "Sister Li, do we have a holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival? Do you know how many days it will take?"

Li Fengjuan also knew that Jiang Mengxue would go home every month after receiving her salary, so she was planning to go home.

"What are you thinking about? It's good enough to have a day off. We can just leave two doctors on duty. You haven't taken your leave for this month yet. If you want to go home, you can leave early tomorrow and come back to work on the first of next month. This time you can have an extra day off."

Jiang Mengxue was so happy. She hadn't had a rest this month. With the one-day holiday for Mid-Autumn Festival, she could have five days off this time. She really had a lot of time to spare.

If I can sell more goods tomorrow, I will still have time to go back the day after tomorrow.

"Really? Thank you, Sister Liu. I'll tell the director right away."

Such a good thing happened early in the morning, and I was in a good mood for the whole day.

As usual, I went to check on the ward early in the morning and found that Comrade Wang Jianguo was already awake.

He's the one whose forehead was split open yesterday.

Later, I heard from the young nurse that Comrade Wang Jianguo's younger brother was instigated by his wife to argue with his parents yesterday, demanding that he buy a bicycle, otherwise he would divorce and return to his parents' home.

I live in my parents' house and don't even pay for living expenses every month, but now I have to ask my parents for money to buy a bicycle.

Of course the old couple of the Wang family were unwilling to do so, and it was said that they started making a fuss in the yard.

When Wang's second daughter-in-law heard that the old couple refused to give her money, she pretended to fight with Wang Laoer. Wang Jianguo couldn't just stand by and watch them fight, so he went up to separate them. However, he was accidentally injured by them and was thrown out during the fight, hitting his head against the wall.

Jiang Mengxue could only say that she was so unlucky. The couple was fighting, but you were injured and hospitalized.

Just hospitalize him. The couple didn't even show up. Yesterday, it was the old couple of the Wang family and their eldest daughter-in-law who asked the director of the street office to send him here.

Bicycles are big items, and many young people want to buy one when they get married, but they have to have the financial means to do so.

A car costs at least 170 or 180 yuan, and a bicycle ticket costs dozens of yuan, so a bicycle costs more than 200 yuan.

Who can be willing to pay half a year's salary in one go?

Moreover, nowadays, many families are supported by one person's salary, and there are only a few families with two or three employees.

After receiving a month's salary, one can buy food for the family, plus the usual groceries, mending clothes for the family, and socializing. It is considered good if one's salary can cover all expenses.

Fortunately, the injury was not serious and the wound would scab over in a few days.

Another patient, Zhu Yongxin, a workshop worker in a machinery factory, scratched his leg due to a machine failure.

The skin and flesh of the entire calf were cut open, and the bones were exposed. It will take at least a few months to recover, and the back of the calf cannot be used with force.

The injury is quite serious and it won't heal in a short time. I heard that his family relies on his salary alone and there are five children in the family.

If you get injured suddenly and your family loses their source of income, you will probably ask the factory for compensation, including wages during the recovery period, nutrition expenses, etc.

At this point, it can be said that the factory will be responsible for the workers' entire lives, so there is no need to worry about these things.

After checking the patient's condition, Jiang Mengxue came to the nurse's station.

It seems that the young nurses are very excited today and their smiles never stop.

"Doctor Jiang, come here."

The expressions on their faces were like thieves, and they called Jiang Mengxue over in a mean manner.
