"How are your clothes? Are they warm?"
Jin Caifeng asked proudly while tidying up her husband's clothes.
Lin Kucan straightened his collar, looked at his new blue cotton-padded jacket and said happily:
"Warm, of course it is. It looks like an ordinary cotton coat on the outside, but the inner layer is made of mink fur. Is there anything warmer than this? Haha."
"That's right. After all, our youngest son is still the most capable. We can enjoy our retirement life. But this suit is too precious. It would be great if we could make a set for the eldest and second sons' families."
Jin Caifeng also has such a cotton-padded coat. Lin Sanqi said that she bought it from Inner Mongolia.
In fact, he bought these cotton coats and trousers online from Taobao, and they were custom-made. The style of the clothes was the old style similar to the Zhongshan suit. The clothes had 4 pockets, and even the fabric was a dark blue retro color.
Lin Sanqi only prepared three sets, one for each of his parents and one for himself, and he did not prepare any for his brothers and nephews and nieces.
Lin Kucan didn't care:
"The brothers have separated, so why should the younger brother-in-law buy clothes for his brother and sister-in-law? This cotton-padded jacket alone probably costs at least dozens of yuan. There's no reason to let an unmarried younger brother pay for it. Mind your own business."
In fact, the old man knew clearly in his mind that the youngest son was on guard against the second son's family.
After all, this kind of cotton-padded jacket is already cheating. Although mink fur is comfortable and warm to wear, is it something that working people can wear?
If there is any disturbance one day, and the second son's wife takes the mink coat to report it, Lin Sanqi will definitely be in trouble, so he must never be a goody-goody.
If the second sister had not played the trick of getting pregnant before marriage, Pei Xuehua would definitely not have caught the eye of Dr. Lin and would not have been able to enter the Lin family.
At this time, Jin Caifeng was carrying a basket and preparing to go out. It was the New Year, and no matter how difficult it was, she had to go to the street to buy some New Year's goods, otherwise there would be no atmosphere.
Lin Kucan also went out wearing a hat and met his colleague Wu Xinhou at the gate of the hospital.
"Old Lin, good morning! It's strange that there's no snow this year. It's just been windy."
Lin Kucan looked up at the sky and asked in a low voice, "How's the situation in your hometown? Is it snowing?"
Wu Xinhou's hometown is Dongshan Province, and there is a folk song in his hometown that goes like this.
"Everyone says Yimeng Mountain is beautiful~~The scenery on Yimeng Mountain is beautiful~~The green mountains and green waters are so beautiful~~The wind blows the grass low and you can see cattle and sheep~~The sorghum is red and the bean flowers are fragrant~~The full baskets of millet are piled up in the granary~~"
It is not difficult to see from the lyrics that this is a beautiful place with rich resources and beautiful scenery.
Wu Xinhou sighed, "It didn't snow in my hometown either, but I sent all the 10 kilograms of rice my employer gave me back home, and also collected 30 kilograms of food coupons."
Lin Kucan knew that Wu Xinhou still had his parents and brothers back home, so he kindly asked:
"Do you have enough food coupons? If not, I have some."
Those who are willing to lend food and food coupons these days are definitely the best of the good people. Only an honest person like Lin Kucan is willing to lend them.
"No, no, you also need to send food coupons back home. It's not easy for everyone. Let's go. Don't be late for work."
Lin Kucan thought that his son had given 1,000 kilograms of food coupons to his grandparents while he was on a business trip, and he felt embarrassed to spend the remaining 100 to 180 kilograms of food coupons in his hand.
"Oh my god, I can't compare to my son~~~"
Lin Sanqi was about to show up at the hospital at this time, and people kept greeting him along the way:
"Xiao Lin, it's time to go to work..."
"Comrade Lin Sanqi, good morning..."
"Hey, Xiaoqi, have you eaten yet? If you haven't, I have two steamed buns here..."
Lin Sanqi was a little surprised. Why were the people in the hospital so warm and friendly to him today?
In fact, there are no secrets in the hospital. The news that the New Year’s goods distributed before were purchased by Lin Sanqi has spread. Now who in the hospital doesn’t remember his kindness?
Not to mention letting him be a small section chief of a branch, no one would object even if he became the dean of a branch.
When I passed by the outpatient clinic, the head of the logistics department was standing on the escalator hanging lanterns, preparing to welcome the Spring Festival.
Seeing the old man climb so high, Lin Sanqi kindly reminded him:
"Uncle Quan, at your age, you still want to hang lanterns yourself? Why don't you come down and I'll do it for you? It's dangerous just watching."
Section Chief Quan chuckled and continued to carefully hang the hook:
"There's no one in our logistics department who's free today. Everyone's out there hanging lanterns, putting up couplets, or cleaning. No one's free. Besides, it's just hanging lanterns. Your Uncle Quan isn't too old to climb the escalator."
At this time, a middle-aged doctor passing by jokingly said:
"Lao Quan is famous for his speed in climbing escalators. It's said that he developed this skill when he was spying on widows in the village. It's like climbing a monkey."
Hehe, everyone passing by on their way to work chuckled. Now that they had food and drinks, every employee was in a happy mood.
Section Chief Quan also cursed on the escalator: "You are so good, Old Jin, you said bad things about me behind my back. When the cabbage is distributed next year, it will all be rotten leaves for you, humph."
When Section Chief Quan was climbing the escalator, there was actually a female employee helping him from below.
Just at this moment, someone called her: "Xiao Juan'er, come here, I need to get something."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
This little Juan'er is also a silly girl. When she heard someone call her to turn around and walk back, she forgot that she was holding a ladder and there was someone on the ladder.
Normally it would be fine if there was no one holding the ladder, but it was winter and the ground was extremely slippery.
As soon as Xiao Juaner left, Section Chief Quan didn't know about it. After hanging up the big lantern, he was about to go down the ladder, but the ladder slipped when he moved.
"Ah, be careful!!!"
It was the morning rush hour, with employees and patients coming in and out. Many people saw the ladder sliding outward, and people including Lin Sanqi watched Section Chief Quan fall off the ladder.
It is human instinct to use your hands to support yourself when you fall.
When Section Chief Quan fell, he fell face down, so his instinctive reaction was to stretch out his hand and make a pushing motion.
When it touched the ground, his hands pushed up, then it tilted and he fell to the ground and started screaming.
When everyone ran over, they found that Section Chief Quan had a cut of about 15 centimeters on his right wrist. Blood was flowing out and the broken bones could be seen with the naked eye. The scene was very tragic.
It turned out that when Section Chief Quan slipped, his right arm hit a large iron nail on the wall that was originally used to fix a banner, causing a large cut from his wrist to his arm.
This is really adding insult to injury.
"Quickly get some gauze to stop the bleeding!"
"Push the cart over here!"
"Is the orthopedist here?"
The scene suddenly became chaotic. Li Jingming happened to come to work in the morning. When he heard someone calling for an orthopedic doctor, he rushed over.
"Don't move, Lao Quan. Let me check the wound. Oh, the distal radius is fractured."
Lin Sanqi added, "Not only that, the ligament is completely ruptured."
Although the medical staff on the scene all studied traditional Chinese medicine, they also had some knowledge of Western medical anatomy. Now, after hearing the two doctors give two diagnoses, they knew the severity of the wound.
Both fractures and ligament ruptures could cause the chief's right hand to be permanently disabled.
If his right hand is disabled, Section Chief Quan's career will also come to an end. He will either retire early or go to the library to retire early.
This is obviously not what Section Chief Quan wants to see.
Dean Shen hurried over after hearing the news and asked anxiously:
"What's going on? Is Lao Quan's wound serious?"
Li Jingming spoke frankly:
"Director, Chief Quan is currently facing two issues: fractured bones and ruptured tendons. A radial fracture isn't a big deal for me; I'm confident I can manually reduce it, but I can't handle this ruptured tendon."
At this time, a doctor nearby suggested: "How about sending him to Union Hospital?"
As soon as these words came out, both Dean Shen and Doctor Li, including the injured person's chief, all fell silent and found it difficult to agree.
In the 1950s and 1960s, there was a resounding slogan in the medical circles of the capital, and even in the medical circles of the whole country:
"Western medicine has Union Hospital, and traditional Chinese medicine has Kuanjie"
Union Hospital is very famous, but Kuanjie Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, as the first, largest and most authoritative traditional Chinese medicine hospital in the country, is also a top hospital standing at the top of the pyramid.
Hospitals are always competing with each other and no one is willing to give in to the other. They all think they are the best.
In particular, there is a dispute between "Union Hospital" and "Kuanjie Chinese Medicine Hospital" over Chinese and Western medicine.
During the fierce conflict between the old and new thoughts during the May Fourth Movement, the voices of intellectuals criticizing traditional Chinese medicine for its ignorance and backwardness grew louder and louder. The Western medicine community also openly broke with the traditional Chinese medicine community, and the medical community formed two distinct opposing camps.
The Western medical community calls traditional Chinese medicine old medicine and calls themselves new medicine, and regards the dispute between Chinese and Western medicine as a "battle between new and old", a battle between advanced and backward.
The traditional Chinese medicine community calls itself "Chinese medicine" and Western medicine "Western medicine", and regards the dispute between Chinese and Western medicine as a "dispute between China and the West", a dispute between foreign countries and China.
The attacks of Traditional Chinese Medicine on Western Medicine by the Traditional Chinese Medicine community are difficult to be calm and objective, while the criticisms of Traditional Chinese Medicine by radical figures in the Western Medicine community are even more harsh, and the sarcasm and abuse from both sides are becoming increasingly intense.
In 1922, some foreign doctors and overseas students at the Union Medical College Hospital, in the name of representatives of the Western medical community, demanded that the Beiyang government abolish traditional Chinese medicine, but were rejected by the Beiyang government.
The conflict between Chinese and Western medicine is becoming increasingly intense.
In 1929, Yu Yunxiu, who had just returned from studying in Japan, became a member of the Central Health Committee of the Ministry of Health. On behalf of the government, he formally proposed a motion to abolish traditional Chinese medicine and integrate it with the world.
Wang Jingwei, Chu Minyi and other important politicians of the Republic of China who had studied abroad also advocated the abolition of traditional Chinese medicine.
So that same year, the Central Health Conference of the Republic of China successfully passed a bill to abolish traditional Chinese medicine, preparing to eliminate it from official public hospitals and schools.
This has really stirred up a hornet's nest.
This triggered a vigorous "battle to defend traditional Chinese medicine" across the country. Traditional Chinese medicine doctors from all over the country went to Nanjing to petition and engaged in fierce debates and struggles with the Western medicine community.
Finally, with the joint efforts of the traditional Chinese medicine community across the country, the bill to abolish traditional Chinese medicine was repealed and traditional Chinese medicine was preserved.
There is also a very interesting face-slapping story here, which is about Mr. Shi Jinmo, a miracle doctor in the Republic of China. (End of this chapter)
