"Are there other people who share this idea?"
"Yes, at the meeting organized by the health department after the New Year, some people raised objections. After the meeting, a few of us sat down together to discuss it. People from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Hunan Province, Guangzhou, Sichuan Province, and Chang'an are now trying to contact more influential comrades across the country so that we can sign a petition together."
“No problem, I will definitely sign this.” Vice Dean Chang nodded and said.
"I've heard that some people are still repeatedly advocating for the marketization of healthcare?"
"This suggestion comes up at every meeting, but it doesn't really matter whether it's brought up or not. The higher-ups have already rejected it, and it won't be considered for the next ten years."
"Old Li, why do you think they brought this up?"
"Money, of course there are deeper reasons, but in the end it all comes down to money."
Vice Dean Chang shook his head and sighed, then stood up and said, "Alright, I won't bother you anymore. I'm going back to the back."
"Let's go, I'm not seeing any patients today. Let's drive around the sanatorium." Li Chu stood up as well.
After telling Nurse Zhou, who was waiting on the bench outside, that they wouldn't be seeing patients today, the two of them went out through a side door.
After saying goodbye to his wife, Li Chu drove straight away from the hospital.
He originally planned to go directly to the sanatorium, but remembering how he had been scolded by Grandpa Wu and Aunt Wu for not bringing his child last time, he went home first.
Wang Yueyue had no classes today and was chatting with her mother in the front yard with her child when she heard the sound of the gate opening outside, so she went out.
"Huh? Dad, why are you back so early?"
"Yueyue, take the baby and come with me to the nursing home to see your grandparents."
"Okay, okay," Wang Yueyue was delighted to hear this. She was bored at home, and her mother couldn't talk to her all the time.
"I packed the baby's bottle and formula."
"You don't need to pack the formula, your Grandpa Wu has some. Just bring the bottles."
"OK"
"Xiao Chu, are you planning to take the child to the nursing home?" Little Chou Bao heard his grandfather's voice from inside the house and couldn't stay inside any longer, so Li Qin had no choice but to carry him out.
"Yes, let's go take a look around and see the old folks. Last time I went, I didn't bring the kids and got scolded for half a day."
Li Chu smiled and walked up to her sister, taking the stinky baby from her.
"Little one, shall we go see Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma?"
"oh oh"
After they got into the car, Wang Yueyue held him in her arms and sat in the back seat, but the little rascal still wouldn't have it.
He usually has his grandfather carry him to pick up his grandmother in the car. How could he sit in the back now? He's convinced that his grandfather's seat is his reserved seat in the car.
This time, Wang Yueyue didn't indulge him. Crying didn't work. She gave him a few slaps on the bottom, then took the bottle out of her bag. There was still water in it, so she put it directly into his mouth. Only then did she calm him down. He lay in his mother's arms and fell asleep shortly after the car drove away.
Li Chu sat in the front driving and didn't say a word for a long time.
He would never speak up to stop his child from being disciplined, and since he was the one who was in the wrong, the child would at most be implicated.
Who drives while holding a child in their arms? Don't they care about safety?
If there weren't so few cars on the road right now, and if he weren't a slow driver, he definitely wouldn't have done that.
It's already good that the other child's mother didn't scold him; if she really did, he would just have to endure it.
"Dad Chu, you can't drive with the child in your arms like that anymore. It's really not safe," Wang Yueyue finally couldn't help but say.
"I promise you, that will never happen again. I won't hug him when I pick up your mother Qiu Nan in the afternoon."
"It has to be you, who else would pick you up every day?"
“I’ve arranged for two motorcycles for you. When you get back, you and Wenhui’s family will each have one. When Wenxuan comes back, you can have him pick you up every day.”
"When did you make the decision, Mr. Chu?"
"It won't take long; it should arrive next month."
"Oh, then I'll have to wait until Brother Xuan comes back in October to ride a motorcycle. By then it will be too cold to ride."
"How about I buy your family a car?"
"Pfft... Dad, cars aren't allowed to be bought by private individuals."
"Just hang it at Xu Yang's restaurant."
!
!
Wang Yueyue's eyes widened instantly.
"Really?"
You know what, now that you mention it, Li Chu also thinks it might be possible to do it that way.
"Sure, why not?"
"But cars are so expensive. I remember reading in the newspaper that the Santana or something similar in Shanghai costs over 100,000 yuan a car."
"You mean the Santana, right? That car costs 180,000."
"Yes, yes, that's it, 180,000? I can't possibly accept that."
“I didn’t say I was going to buy that. We can’t afford a new car, so we can just buy a used one. I’ll ask around and see if any company has any old cars that they’re scrapping. We can tidy them up and make do with them for now. They’ll at least keep us safe from the wind and rain.”
"Thank you, Daddy Chu!" If she weren't sitting in the car with her child in her arms, Wang Yueyue would have jumped up.
"But if we're going to buy them, we'll have to buy two, for Sister Hui too. Father Chu, I'll give you the money I've saved when we get back."
"No need, you can save it for now. If it's not enough, I'll ask you for it. By the way, Yueyue, has this year's dividend come in yet?"
"Not yet. The commerce department called me the other day and said it would be next month. They didn't say how much it would be, only that they would notify me to come and pick it up later."
"Okay, here you go, just keep it safe."
"Dad Chu, the two new buildings in our school's staff housing complex are finished. According to the regulations, I should be allocated an old apartment of about 30 square meters. Do you still want it?"
"Yes, I want it, no matter the price."
"It definitely won't be too expensive, and I won't be allocated a new house anyway."
"Never mind him, as long as you get a share, whether it's a new house or an old house, we'll take it all, however much you offer."
"Okay, I'll register when they notify me."
Wang Yueyue knew that her father-in-law had a serious obsession with his old house, which was why he asked the question. If it were her, she really wouldn't want the old house, especially since it was so small.
As we were talking, the car arrived at the sanatorium. The weather had been nice lately, and many elderly people had moved here. They were all chatting together.
When Li Chu walked over carrying the already awakened baby, the child no longer belonged to him.
It was passed around among these old men and women for at least half an hour before Aunt Wu finally held onto it tightly, and even Aunt Wang couldn't get close to it.
