Chapter 83 Telegram from the Capital
Su Ying was definitely late for work in the afternoon, but after she told Teacher Yuan the reason, Teacher Yuan not only did not count her as late, but also let her leave work early.
Su Ying hesitated for a long time whether to go to her father's home or her mother's home, and finally chose Gu Jinghong's home.
As soon as she entered the family compound, the guard shouted at her.
"Comrade Su Ying, I have a telegram for you."
Su Ying was stunned for a moment. Someone was sending her a telegram? Then her expression changed and she quickly walked over.
"Where did it come from?"
"Coming from Beijing"
Su Ying took the telegram, said thank you, and walked away while touching the telegram in her hand. She was confused and had no idea what Gu Jinghong had written to her.
After she got home and parked her bicycle, she sat at the table and carefully tore open the telegram.
Gu Jinghong probably didn't make a phone call because he thought the phone bill was too expensive, but telegrams are charged by the number of words, and he probably couldn't write much.
Although there was only one piece of letter paper, when it was unfolded, there were quite a few words on it.
"Sister-in-law, I'm Du Feng. I'm writing this telegram on his behalf. Things have been changing in Beijing these past few days, and the commander's hands and feet are constantly cold. He keeps telling me to wear warm clothes when he comes to Beijing, and he even asked me to inquire about the location of Quanjude and Jingcheng Hotel in advance. By the way, please prescribe those two medicines for the commander to take right away. Professor Fu says they're effective. If you continue to warm his nerves like this, perhaps he'll have a better chance of success during surgery. Finally, I'm telling you, sister-in-law, that the commander has been staring at the phone several times. He wanted to call you, but he was too shy to do it, so he forced himself not to."
Su Ying calculated that such a long paragraph would cost a lot of money.
But then she laughed again, read the words carefully again, and shook her head helplessly.
She understood the meaning of the letter. The situation in the capital had changed, so she was asked to bring more clothes when traveling. She also asked about the hotel, so it should be a meal for her. Su Ying felt that she was definitely not being sentimental, but was preparing to treat her to a meal.
She hadn't yet tasted the Quanjude roast duck from the 1980s, and she also longed to try the Jingcheng Hotel, which was a restaurant that entertained foreign guests.
But the letter didn't even ask whether she passed the exam. Did he have too little confidence in her?
After sitting there for a while, she put the letter away and placed it in a drawer in the bedroom, then rummaged through the wardrobe.
In fact, she had very few clothes. Apart from the few pieces she bought for her when she got married, Chen Shuyun later made her two more sets of clothes with fabrics, but they were still thin. The weather in Beijing was getting cold, so she had to buy a cotton jacket first.
At 87, she probably didn't have a down jacket yet. She would go to the clothing street after work. The department stores only had old styles. If she went to Beijing, she would still like to dress herself more fashionably.
But then her face fell again. She hadn't received her salary yet and she seemed to have no money to buy clothes.
Salary is paid on the 15th, and the next day is the 13th, so I'll buy it after salary is paid.
She found a casserole from the kitchen and boiled the medicine herself.
The smell of the medicine was so strong that the neighbors could smell it soon. The sister-in-law next door even came to check on her, worried that she would get sick alone at home and no one would take care of her.
Su Ying said that she was fine and just needed to take care of her body. The sister-in-law finally offered to help her boil the medicine. She had to go to work every day and it was too late for her to boil the medicine after work, so she boiled the medicine for Su Ying during the day and she would drink it hot at night.
On the 15th, Su Ying received her first salary of 47.6 yuan, which was enough to buy a cotton coat and leave some pocket money.
The hospital was about to issue Su Ying a practicing certificate, and she could finally treat patients normally. She was very happy and planned to invite her teacher and senior classmates to dinner. However, she was scolded by Teacher Yuan, who said that she was showing off for just a few dollars and that he would not eat her food.
