Chapter 50 Something Happened
The college entrance examination in 1977 was held in December. Qin Jue still had a deep impression when he recalled it many years later, because on the day when Lao He went to take the college entrance examination, a major event happened in the health center.
The roads were slippery due to the snow, and Lao Qian followed the supply vehicle out to get medicine. As luck would have it, on the way back, the wheels of the vehicle got stuck in the snow and couldn't move. The place happened to be a valley with no village in front and no shop behind. It was very far away whether going to the town or the provincial capital. Master Zhang and Lao Qian could only wait for rescue in the car.
As for the factory, it has been very busy recently at the end of the year. The supply truck did not come back, and everyone thought that it had stayed overnight in the provincial capital, so no one paid much attention to it.
The first one to notice something was wrong was Qinji.
She has worked with Lao Qian for so long and knows his character very well. Even if it were snowing or even if it was raining knives, he would rush back as soon as possible because so many people in the factory and the town are waiting for the medicine to save their lives.
Normally, she would be able to return to the station at around 3 or 4 in the afternoon, but this time, she didn't hear any sound of the car entering the factory until she went to bed at night. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, and she felt vaguely uneasy. The snow was really too heavy, unusually heavy.
What's more, this time going out to buy medicine was a bit tricky, because a farmer member in the town had a deep cut on the sole of his foot caused by a hoe, and he urgently needed anti-infection drugs and tetanus vaccines, which had to be injected within 24 hours. Lao Qian went out in a hurry at that time, and his main purpose was to get the vaccine.
As such a dedicated and responsible veteran cadre, there is no way he would be delayed outside.
The more Qin Ju thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She wanted to wake up the people around her, but suddenly she remembered that Lao He had to take the college entrance examination the next day and she couldn't disturb him. She quickly put on her clothes and went to the next door to call Zhao Qingsong.
Although she has always looked down on Zhao Qingsong, especially after the divorce, she felt annoyed when she saw him, but she could not deny that he was professional in logistics and security.
When Zhao Qingsong heard this, he was very concerned. After all, these were two lives. He quickly called all the people in the security department. Since there was no car, he rode a bicycle and carried a shovel along the road to look for people.
Qin Ju returned to the house, and Lao He woke up. "What happened?"
He asked with sleepy eyes. It was impossible for him to sleep so soundly under normal circumstances. The main reason was that he drank the calming tea prepared by Qinji before going to bed last night, and the effect was really good.
"Something might have happened to Lao Qian..." blah blah.
Lao He was a little annoyed that he was not woken up by such a big thing.
"It's okay. Zhao Qingsong has brought people to look for it. You should go to sleep quickly."
Although He Liansheng's relationship with Zhao Qingsong is no longer the same as before, he has no doubts about his professional and technical abilities. "Okay."
He lay down, and soon he began to breathe evenly under the effect of the calming tea. Qin Jue, however, could not fall asleep. She tucked him in, and then stuffed Doudou's little hands and feet into the quilt. Their kang was really too hot, and the child's bottom was like three fires, and he couldn't bear it at all. His little face was flushed, and he looked like a little fireball.
Normally, the little fireball likes to lean on his mother and nestle in her arms, but Qin Jue still feels too hot. But tonight is different. This warm feeling seems to soothe Qin Jue's fear of ice and snow.
In the past, Qin Jue believed that human beings have endless ability to adapt to and transform nature, but tonight, she discovered that in the face of nature, human power is really insignificant.
Around six in the morning, Qin Ju heard people from the security department coming back to the residential area to call for help. Lights were turned on in every household and all the men went out. It was said that the car was stuck thirty kilometers away from Lenghe Town. Lao Qian and the driver Xiao Zhang were already unconscious, and they needed everyone to work together to rescue them first.
Qin Ju also wanted to help, but at this time, Lao He still had to take the college entrance examination, Doudou was still young, and as a woman, she was not as strong as a man, so it seemed that she could not do anything to take over the relay. She could only ask about Lao Qian and Xiao Zhang's current situation. Knowing that it was just hypothermia, she hurried to the health center to prepare the necessary medicinal materials to ensure that they could take life-saving medicine as soon as they returned.
At the same time, just in case, she also called Lao Wang and Lao Liu, and asked them to bring Western medicine and rescue drugs and follow the crowd to the scene.
He Liansheng naturally couldn't sleep either, so he got up and rode his bike straight to the examination room.
Although Lenghe Town is small, it has a large population. The provincial capital specially approved the establishment of an examination center, which is located in the town’s high school, so he got there quickly.
By the time Qin Ju had finished boiling the medicine for restoring yang, rescuing the patient, and warming the interior and dispelling cold, the people had arrived. Fortunately, she made a prompt decision to send Lao Wang and Lao Liu to go with them. With Western medicine emergency medicines at the forefront, the conditions of the two did not seem so critical anymore. They both recovered their spontaneous breathing, but their body temperatures were still very low and they had not recovered their consciousness.
Qin Ju asked someone to support him and poured the medicine into him. He also asked someone to put a brazier in the house and cover them with a quilt. About half an hour later, Xiao Zhang woke up first and told them what happened in a disjointed manner.
"We heard that it was snowing heavily in Lenghe Town when we were in the provincial capital. People from the pharmaceutical factory advised us to wait a day in the provincial capital until the snow stopped. But Director Qian was anxious to get the vaccine in because he said there were people waiting to be saved."
They were terrified all the way, and finally when they were about to reach Lenghe Town, the car stopped working completely, and the two of them got off to push the car.
But the supply vehicle was a Jiefang truck, which was far beyond the capability of the two of them to push. Not only did they get nothing out of their efforts for half an hour, but for some unknown reason, the temperature in the vehicle kept getting lower and lower.
Low temperatures mean two things: their teeth will chatter with cold, and their body temperatures will only get lower and lower, eventually putting their lives in danger.
Second, vaccines. Many people know that vaccines need to be stored at low temperatures, but the temperature cannot be too low and cannot freeze.
"Director Qian said that the tetanus vaccine cannot be frozen. Once frozen, it will become ineffective, so he kept the vaccine on his body, but he didn't dare to let the temperature get too high. He just stood in the snow by himself. No matter how I called him, he wouldn't get in the car." Therefore, he was the most seriously frozen. If Qin Ju hadn't discovered him in time, if Zhao Qingsong hadn't left quickly, if Lao Wang and Lao Liu hadn't brought emergency medicines, the one lying here now might be...
Everyone present had tears in their eyes.
This old Qian, I really don’t know what to say about him.
Qin Ju had no time to feel sad. She quickly checked that the vaccine was still usable, and immediately gave the injured person a skin test to make sure he would not have an allergic reaction before giving him the vaccine. This was the end of the matter.

It was not until the afternoon when He Liansheng came back from his exams that Lao Qian woke up reluctantly.
"But because he has been in hypothermia for too long, we are not sure whether other functions of his internal organs have been damaged. Once the situation stabilizes, we should send him to the provincial capital." Secretary Gong instructed.
Qin Ju agreed.
Secretary Gong saw that the staff were unloading the medicines from the truck in an orderly manner. Some were responsible for inspection, some were checking the list, some were registering the medicines into the warehouse, and some were placing the medicines in the cabinets. Everyone was doing their job, and he was very pleased.
He still remembers what the health center was like before, with the old ones being skilled and the young ones inexperienced, and the old money could only barely maintain the basic medical functions of the health center with its best efforts. But things are different with the arrival of Comrade Qin. Not only has the business capability been greatly improved, the number and quality of the health center's outpatient clinics have been rapidly increased, but in the past two years he has also been reclaiming wasteland to grow medicinal herbs and finding markets for them. The money he earned not only helps improve the lives of the employees and reduces the pressure on the factory, but he has also paid a lot of money to the factory, which he had not expected at first.
Over the years, many people have said they wanted to open up new land, but none of them actually did so for various reasons.
Comrade Xiao Qin is a very courageous and executive comrade. He patted Qin Ju on the shoulder and said, "I think Lao Qian will need to recuperate for a while. You should increase the burden on your shoulders."
These words were meaningful. People from the factories nearby were a little surprised and looked at the young female comrade in front of them.
Secretary Gong always speaks with a purpose. He said that if Qin Jue adds more responsibilities, he means he will be promoted. But Qin Jue is already the deputy director of the health institute. If he is promoted again, will he become the director? Will he replace Lao Qian?
According to the level of Factory 412, Lao Qian is now enjoying the treatment of a section-level cadre. Comrade Xiao Qin is so young, can he get it all in one go?
When everyone thought of this, they looked at Qin Jue differently.
Qin Ju was always worried about Lao Qian's situation, and didn't take Secretary Gong's words to heart. But it was this indifference that made others think that she was calm and stable. Secretary Gong nodded silently in his heart, well, not bad, this little comrade Qin will be of great use in the future.

A few days later, after Lao Qian's vital signs stabilized, he was sent to the provincial hospital for further treatment. Fortunately, Qin Jiao's traditional Chinese medicine played an important role. None of his important organs were damaged, but his legs and feet could not escape.
He had been shot when he was young while fighting against the Japanese invaders and reactionaries. After liberation, he came to the Northwest to reclaim wasteland. His body was not well taken care of by the cold winters and hot summers. Even though his life has been stable in the past two years, he has often attended social events, and his body has been damaged. In addition, he often sprains his waist or breaks his legs. If he does not take good care of himself, the consequences will be disastrous.
She heard that Lao Qian's family members threatened to commit suicide, so if he continued to work hard, she would divorce him and let him live as an old man.
According to the strong request of his family, the factory decided to give him sick leave after careful consideration. Qin Ju was helping Dou Bao with his hair when he received the news.
Doubao's hair was black, shiny, thick and dense. She asked to have it cut short in the summer because it was too hot, but she could tie her hair into small tufts in the winter. Her aunt bought her several hair ties in town, and her mother helped her tie her hair into small tufts.
Because her hair is too much, she can't tie two thick layers into it, so she just tied some hair here and there, making it a little loose, which makes her look cute!
Qin Ju held up the mirror to show herself, "Look, there are two more at the back. When you go to bed later, remember to tell grandma to take them off before you sleep, otherwise your scalp will hurt when you wake up."
Doubao reached out and touched it, "It's so good~"
Babies with stable emotions are good at communicating. Qin Ju really thinks that Doubao is here to repay her parents. She doesn't cry or make a fuss, and can understand everything she says. She can express her requests well, and can even play immersively on her own. Even if her parents are not around, she can play for a long time with a book or a small toy.
Qin Jue was sure that this kind of personality was definitely not inherited from her.
Just as she was thinking about it, someone from the factory office came to deliver a letter to her, "Director Qin, congratulations."
Qin Ju went out and saw that it was the clerk who came to ask her to answer the phone last time. She smiled and invited him to come in and sit down.
"I won't sit down. I have something to do in the office. I just came here to deliver a document to you." He handed over a brown paper bag with both hands.
Qin Ju felt a little flattered when being addressed as "you". When he opened the phone, his eyes narrowed instantly.
From this day on, she, Qin Ju, was officially appointed as the director of the Sanitation Institute of Factory 412!
