Chen Xia came out of the General Affairs Department and looked at the morgue opposite with a constipated expression.
Another patient died last night. Now his family members are crying and making a fuss at the door of the morgue, burning paper money and lighting candles, preparing to take the body back home.
"Hey, Lao Zeng, our General Affairs Department is in charge of the entire hospital's facilities, so why did you find such a shabby place for yourself? I don't even dare to stay in the office alone during the midnight shift."
Zeng Peinong smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do. When we first moved to the First Hospital, housing was in short supply, and we were lucky enough to get this small bungalow. You see, it's in a corner, and we don't even have the conditions to open a new door, so we can only make do with it."
Yeah, we can only make do with it.
Today's hospitals are still a few decades away. Office buildings are rising from the ground. Their huge scale and luxurious decoration are probably beyond the reach of the Great Hall of the People.
Under the leadership of Zeng Peinong, Chen Xia went with Yu Hong to inspect the hospital's affiliated living facilities.
The People's Hospital has opened a barber shop, a bathhouse, and a staff nursery. Some of them are for the convenience of internal employees of the unit, while the barber shop and bathhouse are open to the public.
In total, we need to recruit about 20 temporary workers, and this is also done to find jobs for the employees' families.
After all, doctors nowadays earn too little, and they don’t even get any red envelopes for drug rebates. If a family relies on only one doctor to work and earn money, the pressure is quite great.
As an employer, we must not only take care of the birth, aging, illness, death, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating of our employees, but also their spouses and children.
Chen Xia, a young section chief in his twenties, was also worried sick. Well, it was mainly Deputy Section Chief Zeng and Deputy Section Chief Yu who were worried sick.
Before the 1990s, it seemed that companies were very fond of running this kind of social service industry. The larger ones even had their own schools for children, employee hospitals, cinemas, etc. Workers could enjoy all social services without leaving the factory.
Even the "Yue Steel Factory" in the east of Yuezhou City has its own popsicle factory. The company regularly issues some popsicle tickets, which can be used to get them for free. The children of the Yue Steel Factory are really lucky.
Chen Xia usually doesn't care about these small matters. He delegates all power to the two deputy section chiefs. In the end, all they have to do is sign their approval.
Zeng Peinong and Yu Hong were both very satisfied. Although their ranks did not increase, the power they held actually increased. After all, the People's Hospital was a large hospital.
Chen Xia also went for a walk as usual. When he arrived at the cafeteria, Jiang Xiaoju was picking vegetables. Her complexion had obviously improved a lot, and she would smile at her colleagues from time to time. It seemed that the shadow of the past was gradually fading away.
When Chen Chiyun saw Chen Xia and the others walk in, he hurried over to greet them: "Xiao Xia, do you have any reception tasks today?"
"No, no, I just came over to check on you. Um, how's Jiang Xiaoju doing lately?"
"He's been fine lately, but he doesn't talk much. We're all watching him."
After saying that, the two of them secretly glanced at Jiang Xiaoju who was picking vegetables not far away.
Just as the two brothers were talking, a young clerk from the hospital office came over and said, "Section Chief Chen, Dean Gu wants you to come over."
"What is it?"
"It's a good thing. The Changhua County Government sent a special letter of praise for your rescue in Changhua. Dean Gu is in a very good mood now."
After all, there were five lives involved, and Chen Xia had made a small fortune for Shangxi Commune, so Shangxi Commune reported the matter to the county party committee in the name of the organization.
People are more humane these days, and here comes a thank-you letter.
In the small conference room of the hospital, several hospital leaders and ten young people who had gone to Changhua to participate in the competition, including Wei Hongxing and Chen Xia, sat in a row, and everyone had a very proud look on their face.
Deputy Secretary Wang read the letter of thanks from the Changhua County Government.
Dean Gu gave another speech of praise, and then said that it was impossible to give out bonuses, but each person was given an enamel washbasin, two lunch boxes, and a thermos.
Embarrassing.
Finally, the letter of praise was copied onto red paper and posted on the bulletin board at the hospital entrance. Both patients and medical staff gathered around to watch.
The ones I envy the most are of course the young employees. They followed Section Chief Chen to participate in a competition in another place, won prizes, and saved lives. I heard that they also enjoyed a feast of delicious food in Changhua for two days. It was really exciting and fun.
This also strengthened the resolve of young people to follow Mr. Chen's footsteps.
Unfortunately, at this time, Chen Laoshi was not in a happy mood.
In the General Affairs Office, Chen Xia was holding the telephone receiver and responding with "hmm-hmm". The person on the other end of the line was Yang Wanhuo, the Party Secretary of Yanggang Village.
"Section Chief Chen, your grandfather's belly is very swollen now. I went to see him, and he looked like he was five or six months pregnant. It was terrible. He kept lying in bed groaning. I think he's dying. What should I do?"
Chen Xia twirled a pen, "Didn't Yang Guanshan take him to the hospital?"
"We asked Dr. Ke from the commune to come to your house, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Then your uncle stopped caring. Didn't your aunt Yuan Guifen ask us to call you?"
"Call me? Lao Yang, you know our family hasn't had any contact with theirs for so many years. Now I'm supporting a grandmother, and they want me to support a grandfather too?"
Chen Xia looked unhappy.
I mainly want to speak up for Chen Bingkun and Yang Lijuan. They were in such a difficult time back then, but the Yang family didn't come to help. After this poor couple died, the old man and uncle didn't come to care about the four orphans. Now they want to support them?
What good things are you thinking about?
Yang Wanhuo was also quite helpless: "Section Chief Chen, I understand the grudge between your two families. I also know that your grandfather and uncle were indeed very excessive back then, but if you don't do anything about it now, it will not be good if the news gets out."
Chen Xia sighed. This was such a mess. "Old Yang, I'll think about it and call you back."
Chen Chun happened to come to the General Affairs Department to look for his younger brother. He had recently sorted out a batch of paper materials and wanted him to help with some reference. When he entered the office, he saw that he was frowning, so he asked:
"What's wrong? Who made you angry? Your face is wrinkled like a chrysanthemum."
When Chen Xia saw Chen Chun coming, he felt relieved and quickly passed the blame on to others:
"Sister, because of Grandpa's matter, the old man seems to have fallen seriously ill. Now his stomach is bloated and about to explode. His son Yang Guanshan doesn't care. The village called me. What do you say we should do?"
"Bulging belly?"
As a gastroenterologist and a future medical expert, many diseases instantly crossed my mind.
Now Chen Chun was also worried.
She knew more about the grudge between the old man and his parents than Chen Xia. To be honest, she really didn't want to care about it, but as a doctor, watching him die in pain was not a solution.
Caught in a dilemma.
