Yuezhou Fourth Hospital is located in Ke Town.
The Linyong Railway is right at the doorstep, and the national highway is just across the railway, making transportation very convenient. It is 40 kilometers west of the provincial capital and only 20 kilometers east of Yuezhou city.
The predecessor of the hospital was the Zhijiang Province Second Military Convalescent and Rehabilitation Hospital, which mainly treated disabled soldiers, so the hospital's organization belonged to the military.
Chen Bingkun's personnel relationship was originally that he asked someone to transfer him directly from the army to the Second Sanatorium Hospital, allowing him to realize his dream of returning to his hometown to work.
The entire hospital has more than 500 employees, and the maximum number of beds is 1,000. It is also the largest and most technologically powerful hospital in Yuezhou area. Behind closed doors, it has a bit of the flavor of an independent kingdom.
Later, as the number of disabled soldiers decreased and the country advocated large-scale military reduction, the Zhijiang Province Second Military Sanatorium Hospital was transferred as a whole to the Yuezhou local government and renamed "Yuezhou Regional Fourth Hospital."
At that time, the slogan "I am a brick of the revolution, and I will be moved wherever I am needed" was advocated. All the staff of the hospital retired collectively and became ordinary medical workers in local hospitals.
It was also at this time that Chen Bingkun became the director of the infectious disease department.
One night three months ago, a hospitalized patient secretly cooked a midnight snack on a kerosene stove in the ward and accidentally started a fire. The doctor on duty that night was Chen Bingkun.
As a former soldier and a doctor, he rushed into the fire without hesitation to save the patients.
Perhaps it was fate that led to the discovery of one missing patient during the inpatient count. Chen Bingkun had no choice but to put on a wet quilt and rush into the fire scene again.
As a result, the patient never came out after entering. In fact, the patient went home quietly that night and did not stay in the hospital at all. It was really a sin of misfortune.
It was already morning when Chen Xia and the other four arrived at the gate of the Fourth Courtyard.
Chen Yigen planned to talk to the dean privately first, and asked Chen Guoqing to take the three children to the hospital corridor to rest for a while.
He groped his way to the third floor and came to the door of the dean's office.
Knock, knock. There's a knock on the door.
Dean Gu Wei and hospital secretary Zhang Zhizhong were discussing something. When they heard a knock on the door, Gu Wei called out, "Come in."
When Chen Yigen entered the bright and clean dean's office, he immediately felt a sense of restraint like an old farmer. He quickly put on a smile and said:
"President Gu, Secretary Zhang, you two are here."
Gu Wei and Zhang Zhizhong turned around and recognized that the person who came in was the team leader of Qingfeng Village who helped deal with Chen Bingkun's funeral a few months ago. They immediately walked over enthusiastically and shook hands with him.
"Brother Chen, come here, sit here. What brings you here on such a hot day? What's up?"
Gu Wei asked directly while pouring water.
He and Zhang Weizhong both come from military backgrounds and like to speak directly.
"It's not because of Bingkun's family that I have to trouble the two leaders."
When they heard Chen Bingkun's name, Gu Wei and Zhang Zhizhong's expressions darkened. The fire three months ago was still vivid in their minds. The thought of their despair at that time when they were unable to rush into the fire to save their comrades deeply hurt their hearts.
Zhang Zhizhong sighed.
"To this day I still can't believe that Comrade Bingkun has left us like this. It was our inadequate management that led to the fire. Comrade Bingkun was a hero and worthy of being a soldier."
Gu Wei immediately responded:
"Even if you didn't come, Brother Chen, we would have gone to the village to look for you. Bingkun's martyrdom declaration has come down. He didn't bring shame to us soldiers. He's really great."
Chen Yigen was still very excited when he heard that Chen Bingkun's martyr application was successful.
These days, people value reputation more than anything else, but have less desire for money. It has to be said that people in this era are still pure people.
Gu Wei and Zhang Zhizhong were also a little excited. Their comrades who died in peacetime were recognized as martyrs. This was the best reward for the deceased Chen Bingkun. If he had not left the army, he would definitely have been awarded a first-class merit.
The three of them sighed for a while. Seeing that Chen Yigen seemed to be hesitating, Gu Wei asked:
"Brother Chen, you must have something to ask for today. Tell us what you want to do. If we can help you, we will definitely help you."
"Hehe, there is indeed something. It's not my personal matter, but I want to trouble you leaders about the children of Bingkun's family."
"What happened to the Bingkun family's children, the four siblings Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter?"
Chen Yigen then recounted the incident of Chen Xia falling into the water yesterday, but he didn't dare to say that he committed suicide. These days, a young man who wanted to commit suicide would have no reputation, and if he told others about it and took down the sign, he would be looked down upon.
"That's the thing. Chen Xia is a hardworking kid. To take care of his two younger siblings and so that his eldest sister could finish college, he voluntarily dropped out of school and returned home to farm. He's definitely a kind-hearted child. But he's just a student, so he can't handle heavy farm work. Look, he was so tired and hungry yesterday that he almost drowned."
After saying this, Gu Wei and Zhang Zhizhong felt their faces flush.
They had been focusing on Chen Bingkun's martyr honor, but ignored how difficult life was for his four orphans. It was such an obvious problem that the local village cadres had to remind them.
The dean and the secretary both felt extremely ashamed and guilty.
Gu Wei slammed the armrest of the sofa chair hard.
"Oh, oh, I deserve to die. I'm so ashamed of myself for Bingkun. It's our fault for not taking good care of the children of the martyrs."
At this time, the workers had a strong sense of collectivism. A unit was like a small society. The unit not only had to take care of the birth, aging, illness and death of employees, but even their children. They felt that everything was the collective responsibility.
