"Here, you two each take a little."

Director Liang divided the money and tickets in his hand into three portions, and the three of them, father and sons, each took a little.

"Remember to pack it properly. Come on, let's not stand here, let's talk as we walk."

After they finished speaking, the three of them, father and sons, started pulling the cart and pushing it.

It must be delivered to the destination on time, otherwise my salary will be deducted.

"Dad, I think when we get back, we should try to find a way to exchange the meat coupons for grain," the second son said as he pushed the cart from the other side.

Director Liang thought for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Boss, what do you think?"

"Dad, that's what I think too. We don't dare to cook meat right now, so we might as well find a way to switch to grain."

"Alright, you two brothers handle this when you get back. Just remember to be careful. If anything happens, under no circumstances can you say that these tickets were given to you by Xiao Chu."

ahzww.

"Don't worry, Dad, my eldest brother and I aren't like the third brother, who's heartless."

"Sigh," Director Liang sighed and remained silent when his second son mentioned his third son.

"Second brother, shut your mouth and say less." The eldest brother pulling the cart turned around and scolded his second brother.

The second brother wasn't angry after being scolded by his eldest brother. He lowered his head and continued pushing the cart, but his heart was filled with resentment towards his third brother.

After Li Chu left, he originally planned to go straight back to the main hospital, but after thinking about it, he turned his bike around and rode towards the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

He planned to ask Song Tangyuan what exactly happened and how Director Liang could have been treated like this.

It took him half an hour to ride his bike to Song Tangyuan's workplace. He didn't go in, but waited at the entrance and asked the gatekeeper to call him.

"Xiao Chu, you're here, why don't you come inside?"

Not long after, Song Tangyuan ran out.

"I need to ask you something, it's not convenient to talk inside." Li Chu pulled Song Tangyuan a few steps toward the gate.

"What's wrong? Why are you being so mysterious?"

"Are you aware of what's been happening at our school lately, class monitor?"

"Hasn't school already suspended? What do you want to know?"

Li Chu turned his head and looked around, then lowered his voice and asked, "Teacher Liang, what exactly happened?"

"Teacher Liang?" Song Tangyuan frowned and repeated, "Oh, you mean your former director?"

Li Chu nodded without saying a word, but stared intently at Song Tangyuan.

"Sigh," Song Tangyuan sighed, his face turning somewhat grim. "It's really hard to say about his family's affairs. I don't know much about it either, but I heard that it seems his youngest son reported him."

"What did you say?" Li Chu seriously doubted whether he had misheard.

“You heard right. I was also very surprised when I heard this, but there’s no smoke without fire, so I guess it’s probably true.”

No wonder, no wonder Director Liang seemed so dejected just now. If that's really the case, it must have been a huge blow to him.

"Thank you, class monitor!"

"Why thank me? I was just telling you what I knew."

After hesitating for a moment, Song Tangyuan continued, "Xiao Chu, I know that Teacher Liang was your director before, but there's a whirlpool around him now, so you'd better not get involved."

As he spoke, Song Tangyuan patted Li Chu on the shoulder.

It is human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm.

There's nothing wrong with what Song Tangyuan said.

"Don't worry, squad leader. I have two children to raise. I won't do anything outrageous."

"By the way, class monitor, how's your project going?" Having already learned the situation, there was no point in continuing to talk about it, so Li Chu changed the subject and asked.

When this was mentioned, Song Tangyuan helplessly shrugged: "You know that project has been stopped. The number of cases is still too far from meeting the requirements, so we can only collect data slowly."

"Xiao Chu, I was just saying I wanted to look for you these next few days. Could you spare some time to come over and give our researchers a lesson?"

"Me, teach you a lesson? Class monitor, are you kidding me? You guys are researching medicine, and I'm just a doctor. What kind of lesson would I teach you?"

"I'm not kidding, what I want you to tell us is how to prescribe medicine for patients."

"Uh..." Li Chu was taken aback for a moment: "No, I mean, class monitor, are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious."

Li Chu thought for a moment and said, "Squad leader, it's not that I can't tell you how to prescribe medicine for patients, but you know my current identity."

At this point, he pointed to his military uniform: "If there is a real need, we can only go through the official channels."

"That's a must. As long as you agree, I'll go back and report to our director so that we can send an official letter to your main hospital."

"You can decide on the specifics. I will definitely cooperate as long as I receive a notification from the Dean's Office."

"Sigh, you're not as carefree as you used to be."

"There's nothing we can do about it. When you gain something, you always have to lose something else."

Although he was indeed less free than before, Li Chu felt it was alright. For example, today, as long as it didn't interfere with his work, he could still ask for leave and come out.

Having found out what needed to be asked, the two chatted idly at the door for a while.

Seeing that it was almost time, Li Chu rode his bicycle back to the main hospital.

As for the issue of coming to attend classes, it's pointless to say anything now unless the official letter is sent.

Even now when he goes out for consultations, it's not as convenient as before, but Li Chu thinks it's better this way, as it's safer.

Previously, it was all based on personal relationships, but now it's all done officially, which also protects the doctors themselves.

After returning to the hospital, I first went to the director's office to cancel my leave.

Lin Sanshou didn't ask any more questions. He wasn't very familiar with Director Liang, and if it weren't for Li Chu, he would never have bothered to find out the address after learning about the matter.

Back in his office, Li Chu sat there pondering how he could help Director Liang.

Getting him out of trouble and restoring his treatment is out of the question; it's simply impossible right now.

Judging from the expressions on the faces of the father and his two sons, it goes without saying that they are lacking food and nutrition.

However, Li Chu also realized that the meat ticket he had given earlier was actually a mistake.

They couldn't possibly buy meat to eat right now, and even if they had meat, they wouldn't dare cook it.

So if you want to help him now, the best thing to do is give him food. As for meat, canned food is definitely not an option.

The canned food had a peculiar smell. There were quite a few people watching their house in the courtyard, and if anyone could smell it, it would be a disaster for them.

How about we braise two pig heads when we get back tonight? Qiu Nan and the kids are craving some too.

The flavor of braised meat diminishes considerably when eaten cold.

I've figured it out. I'll get it done when I get home tonight. That's all I can do to help him.
