Chapter 343 Otherwise, I’ll squeeze you dry!

After a few days of hard work, the weekend finally arrived.

Su Mei and Huo Jianguo both had time to catch their breath.

The two of them went to Li Shufen's house to have breakfast together. Su Mei brought two hamsters that had been used in experiments to give to Qiuqiu as pets.

Seeing the furry thing in the cage, Yang Suhua was very confused:

"Why do we need to raise mice? It's really different in the city. The mice are prettier than those in our countryside!"

"It's not a rat, it's a hamster, which is different from a mouse." As she spoke, Su Mei took out one and showed it to Qiuqiu.

The hamster was furry and Qiuqiu liked it very much. She bravely took the little guy from Su Mei's hands.

"Give them a name respectively, Qiuqiu. Let me see if you have learned Chinese well and whether you can give names." Su Mei asked.

Qiuqiu, holding the hamster, looked at it and thought for a while before saying:

"The white one is called Xiaobai, and the yellow one is called Xiaohuang."

The child's childish voice caused everyone in the yard to burst into laughter.

Li Shufen gently poked Qiuqiu on the forehead and said, "You are not very good at Chinese."

"What do you think her name is, Third Auntie?" Qiuqiu thought for a while but couldn't figure it out, so she looked to Su Mei for help.

Su Mei thought that these hamsters did have some significance.

This was the first time she applied her research results to animals, which was Su Mei's first step in bringing future science to her motherland.

I believe that with the help of future science, the country will surely become stronger.

The two little hamsters also witnessed the process, so she said: "The white one is called Ruixue. Ruixue is white, which symbolizes harvest and auspiciousness. The yellow one is called Jinqiu. Jinqiu is the harvest season, which just happens to echo its color."

"Rui Xue, Jin Qiu." Qiu Qiu repeated the two names, then she immediately put the white hamster back into the cage and took out the yellow one, "Xiao Huang, give me the same name!"

"What? Our Qiuqiu also changed her name to Xiaohuang?" Su Mei teased deliberately.

Qiuqiu was so anxious that her face turned red: "No, I meant Jinqiu's name, the same as mine."

"Hahaha!" Su Mei rubbed Qiuqiu's head gently.

After breakfast, Li Shufen accompanied Su Mei and Huo Jianguo to the street to buy a house.

Su Mei took Huo Jianguo and Li Shufen directly to Wangfujing. The department store in Wangfujing was established in 1955. Su Mei decided to buy a yard near the department store. The reason she gave was:

"Once free trade is allowed, this department store will have a natural advantage of a large flow of people. If we can do business here in the future, our business will definitely be booming."

Even if the business is not that prosperous, owning a yard in a place like Wangfujing will have unlimited future value.

It’s a pity that although the location here is good, the house prices are still higher than other places even now.

Su Mei only had 40,000 yuan in her hand, and she had to keep 10,000 for emergency use, so she only had 30,000 to spend.

With 30,000 yuan, you can only buy an old and small house in this area.

But as the saying goes, what’s important is the land.

In the future, houses in Wangfujing will become an area that outsiders dare not even think about. It is an area where even if you have money you may not be able to buy a house.

After walking around for a whole day, she did find a few houses for sale, but the prices were all over $50,000 and she couldn't bargain down the price. Su Mei didn't have enough money to buy them.

She wanted to have 10,000 left after buying the house for emergencies, but she didn't expect that she still needed the money.

A house that costs 50,000 yuan now will soar to 500,000 yuan in one or two years once the official documents come down.

Buy now.

But if you don't have money, there's no point in worrying.

Su Mei asked Li Shufen to follow someone else and look for a smaller and cheaper yard.

If it didn't work out, Su Mei could only settle for the next best thing and buy in another location first.

Nowadays, 10,000 or 20,000 yuan is not a small amount, and you can't borrow it from others, and others don't know that the property will appreciate so quickly in the future.

Su Mei's previous attempts to buy a yard went smoothly, but this time, after looking for a whole day, money became a roadblock.

Su Mei was not too disappointed. In fact, the houses here were expensive, which was also what she expected.

Until now, Li Shufen still doesn't understand why Su Mei insisted on spending so much money to buy the yard, but she will no longer ask.

Because she knew that asking would not change Su Mei's mind, there was no need to cause more trouble for Su Mei.

Li Shufen has always had a good grasp of this sense of boundaries.

The three returned empty-handed. When they got home, Chu Tian had just returned from outside.

Seeing Chu Tian, ​​Su Mei asked:

"Senior, are you used to the lab? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No, I haven't encountered any problems yet." Chu Tian looked a little embarrassed. "I always thought it was a problem with the equipment, but now that the equipment problem has been solved, my experiment still seems to be unsuccessful."

"You can try to please my master. He's idle at home every day, and he knows a lot about this. When I encountered a bottleneck in my experiment, I couldn't do without his guidance." Although Su Mei knew all the experimental principles, she didn't master the experimental steps so well.

For the experiments completed at Qin Zhengting's home, Su Mei only had to give a brief description of what she needed, and Qin Zhengting would quickly come up with an idea.

Those studies were successfully completed in a short time, and Qin Zhengting played a great role in it. Su Mei felt that since Chu Tian had borrowed Qin Zhengting's laboratory, it would be no problem for her to please him and let him give her some advice.

Chu Tian didn't dare to do that: "I'm already disturbing Dean Qin by borrowing his laboratory, how dare I disturb his retirement life? What if I make him angry!"

"Oh!" Su Mei waved her hands, "He is different from the rumors. According to the rumors, he is not easy to get close to, but in fact he is approachable and happy to be a teacher. He is very willing to guide students."

Due to his status, it is not convenient for Qin Zhengting to accept formal disciples.

But when it comes to mentoring the younger generation, he has always been willing.

When he came back from the border, he stayed in the clinic for so long, just to instruct the new recruits.

Qin Zhengting seems difficult to approach due to his experiences in his early years, but those who have had close contact with him will know how knowledgeable and interesting he is.

Chu Tian heard Su Mei say this and finally nodded: "If I need it, I will try to ask for advice."

"Just relax. It's not easy to do research. Many people spend their entire lives to get a research result that will be remembered by the world. This road is difficult to walk. Don't feel pressured.

We are still young and have plenty of time." Fearing that Chu Tian might feel stressed, Su Mei comforted her again.

Chu Tian ate his meal in silence, thinking that Su Mei had used half a year to accomplish something that many people could not do in their entire lives.

Talent is a terrifyingly powerful thing.

After dinner, Huo Jianguo took Su Mei home by bike.

When she arrived at the door of her house, Su Mei found a woman standing at the door of her yard.

The woman looked familiar, and Su Mei looked carefully for several times before she realized that it was Sun Dai, whom she hadn't seen for several months.

A female doctor at Capital Airport Hospital.

Sun Dai greeted Su Mei first and called out, "Doctor Su."

"Are you looking for me?" Su Mei jumped out of Huo Jianguo's back seat and walked towards Sun Dai.

Huo Jianguo, who was behind him, also braked immediately and followed Su Mei. He shouted, "If you want to get off, just tell me. Let me stop before you get off. What if you fall?"

"It's not like he didn't fall!" Su Mei turned around and glared at Huo Jianguo. In the face of Huo Jianguo's fierce look, she immediately changed her tone, "Okay, old cadre, I'll pay attention next time."

After saying that, Su Mei turned around and looked at Sun Dai and smiled embarrassedly.

The young couple were so sweet together that Sun Dai couldn't help but feel a twinkle of envy. She then said, "Yes, I came here just to see you."

"What do you want me to do?" Su Mei asked.

Sun Dai gathered the hair on his forehead and whispered, "I want you to perform surgery on my son. Su Mei, you are the best surgeon I have ever seen."

"Has your son not had surgery yet?" Su Mei remembered that Sun Dai's son had a coagulation disorder, and she thought he had already had surgery. "I remember his condition. He had a coagulation disorder and needed a bone marrow transplant. I heard you say you needed surgery last year, and I thought you had already done it."

"No." Sun Dai smiled bitterly, "I have only just managed to scrape together enough money for the surgery, and it was borrowed from all over. It just so happens that I have found a suitable spinal cord, so the surgery can be arranged soon.

I feel uneasy and want to find a trustworthy doctor to help me with the operation..."

"Surgery?" Su Mei didn't understand. "Spinal cord surgery, strictly speaking, is not considered surgery. It doesn't require surgery. It only requires intravenous infusion of normal bone marrow hematopoietic cells."

"He not only has a coagulation disorder, but also a congenital heart disease..." Sun Dai's voice became softer as she spoke.

This answer made Su Mei smile bitterly. She opened the gate, invited Sun Dai in, and then said:

"Congenital heart disease combined with coagulation dysfunction. As a surgeon, you should know how difficult this operation is. You really trust me!"

Sun Dai followed into the yard and picked up a pile of gifts from the ground. She walked while speaking with a choked voice:

"I know this is difficult, but I really have no other choice. In fact, before I came to you, I had already consulted several doctors. There are not many doctors who can perform this operation. None of them was willing to perform the operation on my son, and they all advised me to give up.

Surgery is very risky and no one dares to perform it. I can understand that, but my son’s heart problem is very serious. If I give up directly, he will not live to adulthood.

The success rate of the operation is less than 20%. No doctor is willing to perform an operation with such a high failure rate, but I don’t want to see him waiting for death in the hospital at such a young age.”

"Why didn't you come to me directly?" Su Mei asked. She guessed the answer, but still wanted to ask.

The answer was the same as Su Mei's guess. Sun Dai said, "It is well known that Dean Qin left Yanjing because his apprentice died from medical treatment. Now that you have taken over the institute at such a young age, there must be many eyes on you.

You can't make any mistakes. If you kill someone again, I'm afraid someone will make a fuss about it. So I didn't want to come to you at first. If there was really no one to take the call, I wouldn't be here."

"Sun Dai, you are wrong about this matter." After hearing the answer, Su Mei directly denied Sun Dai's idea, "If you don't treat people who still have hope because you are afraid of killing them or damaging your reputation, then what is the original intention of such a person to study medicine?

Saving the dying and healing the wounded is a doctor's duty. I will not give up on a promising patient just because I am afraid of not being able to cure the patient or of ruining his future. If I were that kind of person, my master would not have accepted me."

"You mean, are you willing to take over my son's surgery?" Sun Dai held back for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

Su Mei did not answer this question directly, but only said: "It just so happens that I have recently developed a drug that can induce labor, and I need to go to the hospital to personally participate in clinical trials to see its effects.

I will go to the hospital tomorrow to discuss with the director the recruitment of volunteers for clinical trials. I will also stop by to see how your son is doing.

Whether to accept the surgery or not will depend on my specific situation. I am best at various fracture surgeries. I need to see this kind of open-chest surgery before I can give you an accurate answer."

"Okay, let's wait until tomorrow to see it." Sun Dai also knew that this matter could not be rushed, and Su Mei must take a look before making a decision.

After thanking Su Mei, Sun Dai left in a hurry as she was busy taking care of her children.

After everyone left, Su Mei asked Huo Jianguo to carry the things Sun Dai bought into the house.

Huo Jianguo looked at those valuable things and immediately looked at Su Mei with some disapproval: "Comrade Su Mei, I have to criticize you. It's okay to love money, but how can you accept such expensive things from the patient's family?

Haven't you heard that the money for the child's medical treatment is scraped together from all over? How can you let the child's mother spend so much money? "

"Say it again, who do you want to criticize?" Su Mei asked coldly.

Feeling his wife's eyes turn cold, Huo Jianguo was suddenly shocked: "I didn't say I wanted to criticize you, I just think it's a bit inappropriate to take such a valuable thing from someone else."

"Of course I know it's inappropriate." Su Mei gave Huo Jianguo a cold look, "But the things sent by the patient's family should be accepted first, so that the patient's family can rest assured.

If I really had the surgery, since I was taking so much from them, they would definitely believe that I would be a hundred times more serious about it.

We will return the items to the patient after the surgery is over. The main purpose is to allow the patient and his family to prepare for the surgery with peace of mind.”

"I was saying, my wife is so conscious, how could she just accept things from others? It turns out there is so much knowledge involved in accepting gifts. OK, I'll take them inside." Huo Jianguo went into the house with two gift boxes.

Su Mei pouted angrily and followed in with two gift boxes. She reached out and grabbed Huo Jianguo's waist fiercely:

"Don't question my character next time, or I'll squeeze you dry."
