During the nearly half-year winter in the north, each person is only supplied with 180 kilograms of coal. This is not a problem if there are many people in the family, as it is more economical when there are more people.
For a family with only one person like Jiang Mengxue, 180 kilograms is often not enough. Fortunately, she doesn't need any, so she just comes to queue up to pass by.
Soon it was her turn. She stepped forward and handed over her supply book. The staff took it, registered it, asked Jiang Mengxue to sign, and then went to collect the coal with the note.
Jiang Mengxue had already padded a layer of bags in the basket in advance, otherwise the coal slag would easily get stuck in the gaps.
One hundred and eighty kilograms sounds like a lot, but in fact it doesn't even fill two baskets. Fortunately, the bike is big and riding it is not stressful, otherwise Jiang Mengxue might not be able to carry it back.
Jiang Mengxue got on the bike and rode back slowly. Knowing that the things to be transported today would be heavy, Jiang Mengxue specially rode this 28-inch bike, which would be more convenient for transporting heavy objects.
However, this car was still a bit big for Jiang Mengxue. At least when she sat on the seat, her feet could not reach the ground. If she wanted to stop, she had to get out. But the car was so heavy that she could not hold it by herself. Her dilemma now was how to get out safely while holding the car steady.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so stubborn. I always thought I could do it all by myself and didn't want to ask for help, which led to my current situation.
After some inner conflict, Jiang Mengxue looked at both sides of the road when she was almost home, hoping to meet someone she knew.
It was not until they were almost at the door of their house that they saw Xie Sheng and Huang Haiwu pushing the cart together.
Jiang Mengxue's eyes lit up: "Sister Sheng, Brother Huang, please help me, help me hold the car, I can't get out."
When they heard the noise, they turned around and saw Jiang Mengxue riding a bicycle towards them from more than ten meters away.
Huang Haiwu saw that she was pulling two large baskets behind her, so he quickly parked his bicycle on the side of the road and stepped forward to hold the bike when Jiang Mengxue came over.
Xie Sheng also helped hold the steering wheel of the car. Only after making sure that the car was stable did Jiang Mengxue lift her leg and jump down.
"Tell me, how could you buy so much coal by yourself? You could have brought it back in several batches. Otherwise, what if you accidentally dumped it on the road?"
Xie Sheng was shocked to see her like this. The bike was not light. He didn't know how she insisted on riding it back. It was really scary.
"Sister-in-law, next time you need to buy something, just let me know and say thank you. I'll take care of these things. Before he left, Old Gu told me to look after you. If he knew you went to buy coal by yourself, I wouldn't be able to face him next time."
Jiang Mengxue felt a little embarrassed by what the two of them said. She was indeed trying to be stubborn.
“I didn’t expect it to be so easy to ride, but I didn’t dare to stop. I was planning to lean against the wall and slowly stop. Luckily I met you guys.
But why are you here? Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Xie Sheng went to the side and pushed Huang Haiwu's bicycle. Jiang Mengxue also held two coal baskets behind him. The three of them went to the yard where she lived together.
Xie Sheng said, "The police have already reported the result. Officer Huang has already gone to the hospital to discuss this with the family. We are not responsible for this matter, and the hospital is very firm. They can't accept their bad luck and make compensation just because they feel sorry for them. The police have also said that this matter has nothing to do with us. The hospital has already put forward the whole story on the advertising board. We can go back to work tomorrow. We just came back from the hospital and happened to be passing by, so we came to tell you."
Jiang Mengxue nodded. It was an expected result. She knew from Director Ma's attitude that if the hospital was not responsible for this matter, the hospital would definitely not admit the bad luck out of pity for the other party.
This kind of thing happens quite often every year, and the Medical Department is quite experienced in dealing with it.
Xie Sheng still finds it funny when he thinks about what happened today.
"You have no idea how funny today was. The old lady heard that the hospital wasn't responsible, so it wouldn't compensate them. She wanted to do the same thing as before, rolling on the ground and throwing a tantrum.
But then she encountered a sentence that made her unable to move forward or backward. "
The director said, "Given the impact this incident has had on the reputations of Dr. Xie and Dr. Jiang, the hospital will clarify the matter and provide each of them with a five-yuan subsidy to prevent others from thinking our doctors are unprofessional."
Jiang Mengxue didn't expect that the hospital would give rewards after such an incident. She felt that the dean just wanted to piss off the other party.
Aren't you pushing the responsibility onto our hospital and the doctors? Now the police have proved that the hospital and the doctors are not responsible. We even give the doctors rewards to comfort them for the blow this incident has caused them. Others will definitely think that it cannot be the doctors' responsibility, otherwise it would be good enough if the hospital did not fire the doctors, so how could they give them money as rewards?
When this incident happened, not to mention the patients and their families who were present that day, even the doctors and nurses in the hospital would inevitably spread some unpleasant words in private. Now that the director has done this, he has directly clarified the matter for them and also stopped others from making random speculations in private.
Several people worked together to lift the car into the yard.
Jiang Mengxue found an unused bag and spread it on the ground, and Huang Haiwu took down the frame and placed it in the prepared place in the house.
Jiang Mengxue planned to take out the coal and arrange it herself later.
"Your house is really well decorated. With so much space, you don't have to worry about it being cluttered with stuff. The kang in your living room is even bigger than the dormitory where I live alone."
Jiang Mengxue also stayed in the hospital dormitory for a few days. She lived in the dormitory when she first arrived at the hospital.
However, after she moved her household registration here, she went directly to the street office and asked them to allocate her a house. It can only be said that it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.
Xie Sheng was planning to wait for the hospital to allocate housing, but now housing is tight everywhere, not to mention the workplace.
Jiang Mengxue had just arrived when someone happened to be moving out, so she got the upper hand.
"Didn't the hospital say when they'd arrange housing for you? Or do you have to wait until the age limit is up?"
Xie Sheng shook his head and looked at Huang Haiwu calmly.
"There's no such thing as a seniority limit. If both husband and wife work at the hospital, they can get a room anytime. But for a single female doctor like me, it's not like I can't live in a dormitory anyway. I might get married and move out in the future. The hospital prefers both husband and wife to work in the hospital, and then male doctors."
If Jiang Mengxue had not found the street at that time, she would probably be living in the dormitory now and would not be able to get a room.
Then when they get married, they move directly to the man’s house, and the hospital gives them a little housing subsidy at most.
Jiang Mengxue thought about it and it was true. If she had been foolishly waiting for the hospital to assign a room, the result might have been the same now.
