Chapter 328 Pay More Attention
Secretary Lu readily agreed: "No problem, I'll notify him right away."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Nuo thought about it and made another call to the Lu family in the military compound.
However, Brigade Commander Lu should have gone out to work at this time, and the person who answered the phone was Aunt Tong.
Xu Nuo called the Lu family again, and it was Aunt Tong who answered the phone.
"Aunt Tong, it's me, Xu Nuo." Xu Nuo's voice was somewhat kind.
"Oh, Xu Nuo!" Aunt Tong said pleasantly, "How are you doing recently? I heard that you went to support the medical construction in the village?"
"Very good, Aunt Tong." Xu Nuo paused, "I want to ask you something, do you know someone named Chen Rui?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment: "I don't know him, who is this person, what's wrong?"
Aunt Tong asked this, it seems that she doesn't know this person.
"Could you please ask Brigade Commander Lu if he knows this person?"
"Okay, wait, I'll go ask. But can I ask you why you're asking about this person?" Aunt Tong was full of curiosity.
"Nothing, just work." Xu Nuo was not in a position to say too much for the time being.
In fact, she didn't have time to tell Aunt Tong about these things.
After hearing her say this, Aunt Tong understood that she shouldn't ask too many questions about this matter.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll ask for you."
About ten minutes later, Aunt Tong called back: "Old Lu said he didn't know this person either. What happened?"
"It's nothing big, just asking. Thank you, Aunt Tong." Xu Nuo hung up the phone, frowning slightly.
It seems that Chen Rui is very likely to be lying, but with espionage activities rampant at the moment, she dare not take it lightly and decides to keep the person here first and make other plans later.
At the same time, Lü Laoer was working in the fields when he suddenly heard a broadcast from the village loudspeaker: "Comrade Lü Zhengyi, please come to the village branch as soon as possible. We need to talk to you!"
He brushed the dirt off his hands and walked quickly towards the village branch.
When they arrived at the village office, Secretary Lu relayed Xu Nuo's words to him and asked him to ask when Xu Nuo would be back.
Without saying a word, Lu Zhengyi borrowed a bicycle and rushed to the town clinic.
When he arrived at the door of the ward, he saw Xu Nuo standing by the bedside of a sleeping young man.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door gently, then pushed it open and walked in.
Seeing Lu Laoer coming, Xu Nuo made a gesture to keep quiet, and the two of them tiptoed out of the ward.
"Do you know the man lying on the bed?" Xu Nuo asked him directly.
Lu Lao Er was not sure: "I have to take a look."
So he walked in, took a look at the bedside, then came out again and closed the door.
"I don't know him." Lu Lao Er answered, "This guy doesn't look like a local, he should be from the city, right? I don't know anyone in the city except your Brigade Commander Lu."
"This man is called Chen Rui, and he said he wanted to find Brigade Commander Lu." Xu Nuo lowered his voice, "But his origins are unknown, and I have not disclosed any information about Brigade Commander Lu for the time being. I would like to ask you to take him home and settle him down first, and find out his background by the way."
Lu Lao Er approached the bed, looked at the unconscious Chen Rui carefully, and asked in a low voice: "Doctor Xu, what is the origin of this person?"
Xu Nuo led Lu Lao Er to a corner of the corridor further away and whispered, "He was rescued from the river yesterday. When he woke up, he said he wanted to look for his relatives. He has several injuries on his body and will probably need to rest for a while. I'd like to trouble you to take care of him for a while. During this time, you have to be more careful and cautious. After all, he mentioned Brigade Commander Lu..."
She didn't say anything else, but looking at Lu Laoer's eyes, he should have understood what she meant.
"No problem!" Lu Lao Er nodded readily. "When he is discharged from the hospital, I will take him home to live. It just so happens that the west wing of my house is still empty."
"Thank you so much, Uncle Lu." Xu Nuo said gratefully.
Lu Lao Er waved his hands: "What's that? No need to be so polite. This is our family business, so we must be careful."
"good."
After finishing this task, Lv Lao Er was about to leave when he suddenly remembered what Secretary Lu had told him to do: "By the way, Secretary Lu asked me to ask you, when can you return to the village?"
Xu Nuo thought for a moment and said, "Can you please tell the Party Secretary if you can arrange for a few people to take turns to look after Chen Rui for a few days? That way I can go back to work."
"Okay." Lu Zhengyi patted his chest, "I'll go back and arrange it right away."
After watching Lu Laoer leave, Xu Nuo stayed in the ward for another half a day.
At noon, the door of the ward was gently pushed open and Erzhuzi poked his head in.
"Doctor Xu, the secretary asked me to take care of him for you." Erzhuzi smiled naively, "Leave it to me."
Seeing that Erzhuzi was in a good mood and state today, Xu Nuo knew that yesterday's words did not have much impact on him, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
She took out two ten-yuan bills from her pocket and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Take this money and buy food for the next few days."
Erzhuzi quickly declined: "No way! How can I take your money? I have my own money!"
"Take it. I work and get paid, so I'm better off than you. Besides, you work for me, so how can I let you pay for it?" Xu Nuo stuffed the money into his hand. "The patient needs nutrition, so don't let yourself suffer."
Erzhuzi was deeply moved, and he thought regretfully in his heart: How could such a beautiful girl get married so early?
If she was still unmarried, he would definitely pursue her boldly and unrestrainedly.
After arranging matters at the hospital, Xu Nuo prepared to go back.
Before leaving, she said to Chen Rui who was lying on the hospital bed: "Er Zhuzi will take care of you for the next two days, and someone will come to pick you up when you are discharged from the hospital. You don't have to worry about anything these days, just take good care of yourself."
Chen Rui looked at Xu Nuo gratefully: "Thank you, thank you for saving me and arranging people to take care of me so attentively."
Xu Nuo curved his lips and said, "Then you should get better soon and find a way to pay me back the medical expenses I paid for you as soon as possible."
"Yes, I will."
After Xu Nuo left, he hurried back to the village medical center.
During the time she was away, Jin Yue was almost too busy to handle everything by herself.
As soon as Xu Nuo came back, Jin Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "You are finally back. When you were not here, I would be too busy to handle everything."
"Thank you for your hard work." Xu Nuo said helplessly, "We still have too few people, and no one can be idle."
"Yes, but the situation in other villages is not much better. Just be patient, the condition of this batch of young patients is stabilizing. It depends on how many people get sick next. If the number decreases significantly, we can relax a little." Jin Yue rubbed his sore shoulders as he spoke.
"You take a rest, let me take care of the rest." Seeing that Jin Yue was really exhausted, Xu Nuo took over the rest of the work.
Jin Yue sat in the medicine dispensing room and watched Xu Nuo busying around: "These are jobs that we nurses should do, but you, a doctor, have even learned how to give injections and dispense medicines."
"Is it because we don't have enough manpower? There's no harm in learning more." Xu Nuo learned everything very quickly. She quickly prepared the medicines on the list. "I'm going to give the children IVs. Do you have anything else to tell me?"
Hearing this, Jin Yue slapped her thigh fiercely: "Nono, a woman came to see you this morning. Her tone and eyes seemed unfriendly. She said she would come to see you again in the afternoon. I think you should be careful!"
"Woman? What kind of woman?" Xu Nuo asked puzzledly. She herself didn't know if she had offended someone again.
