Chapter 120

Qiao Wei only stayed in Yanzhuang for a while, then took Yan Lei's parents and Yan Zhu to the county town.

The train station where she got off when she came was in the county town. But this time they had to take a long-distance bus.

Fortunately, it was not a festival, so the passenger volume was not that large. The driver and the young man who came with the bus did not go back until they bought the tickets and sent them on the bus.

Four adults and a child got on the long-distance bus.

At this time, Yan Lei's parents and Yan Zhu were still dreaming.

Originally, Yan Lei's wife came back, and she should stay at home, but how did they have to follow her to the provincial capital without stopping?

But after experiencing this scene for most of the day, Qiao Wei's image in their minds has changed dramatically.

Even the branch secretary listens to her.

When she talked, the important people in the village listened attentively.

Although Yan Lei's father and Yan Zhu didn't understand those major events, she spoke very clearly, with a smooth timeline and clear major events, so they could even understand half of it.

Who can know so many national affairs?

The father-in-law and the eldest uncle couldn't help but be in awe of Qiao Wei.

It was time for Yan Xiang to take a nap at this time, and he fell asleep in Qiao Wei's arms.

Yan Lei's mother praised softly: "Look at this child, how easy to take care of."

He didn't make noises, didn't run around, and just listened to what the adults said.

The daughters-in-law said that taking Yan Xiang to see the old man would cause trouble, so they asked him to stay in Yanzhuang. Yan Lei's mother no longer regretted not listening to her daughters-in-law.

Son, it's better for you to follow your mother.

The long-distance bus drove for several hours and arrived at the provincial capital at night.

The four adults took Yan Xiang off the bus, and the three people who had never seen a big city looked around.

"Look, there's a building over there! It's three stories high!"

"The street lights on this road are always on? How much electricity is wasted."

"So many bicycles."

Qiao Wei didn't have so many sighs. She bought a map of the provincial capital from the window of the station after getting off the bus, and asked about the best hospital and nearby guesthouses.

Before the three Yan family members finished sighing, Qiao Wei already knew where to go: "Let's go, and we have to take a bus."

The best hospital is the First People's Hospital, and it is best to stay in a guesthouse near the hospital for medical treatment.

People at the long-distance bus station are often asked about this information, and they know it all. Moreover, Qiao Wei asked in standard Mandarin, so the staff did not dare to look down on her.

However, when they got on the bus, the father and son of the Yan family could not help but say a few words because they were new to the big city and everything they saw was new. The conductor cast a glance at them and said with his eyes: "Country bumpkins."

At this time, the bus conductors were the ones who looked down on the country bumpkins. It may also be because of the nature of their work that they can come into contact with more people from all over the country, so the probability of coming into contact with rural people is higher than that of others.

This is the norm in society, and Qiao Wei can't do anything about it.

But when the conductor was checking tickets in the car, she squeezed past Yan Lei Niang and suddenly sniffed: "What's that smell?"

She frowned and looked at Yan Lei Niang a few times, and squeezed past with disgust.

Yan Lei Niang lowered her head very low, shrinking like a quail.

Qiao Wei couldn't help but frown.

She approached quietly and sniffed gently.

There was indeed a smell.

She had smelled this smell all the way on the long-distance bus. She thought it was the smell of the long-distance bus.

But now, it seems to be... the smell of Yan Lei's mother?

Yan Lei's mother looked up at her and shuddered, as if she was uneasy about her approach.

On the bus, they passed the First People's Hospital.

Yan Zhu was amazed: "Such a big hospital."

It was as grand as the county government and the railway station.

Soon they got off the bus. The guesthouse that Qiao Wei inquired about was the closest one to the hospital, and it only took a few minutes to walk to the hospital.

Things like introduction letters are used when buying tickets and accommodation.

The receptionist at the guesthouse took a look at the four adults, two men, two women and a child, and thought they were two couples. He said listlessly: "Couples need to show their marriage certificates to stay here."

Qiao Wei bent down and propped her arms on the windowsill: "There is only one couple. We will stay separately, two men in one room and two women in one room."

She asked again: "Is there hot water? Can we take a shower?"

The receptionist looked at the watch: "Then hurry up, the hot water will be cut off at 8:30."

Qiao Wei nodded: "No shower today, tomorrow."

"You need to buy a shower ticket to take a shower."

"Okay, thank you."

"Serve the people."

The receptionist was listless and did not forget to add this sentence at the end.

It can be seen that the movement in the provincial capital has developed much deeper than that in Bocheng County.

Qiao Wei took the key and led everyone to find a room and arrange accommodation.

The room was actually very simple, with two beds, two bedside tables, a desk, a washstand, two washbasins, and two pairs of plastic slippers, just like the ones in the bathhouse.

But none of the Yan family had ever seen it before, so they were very rare.

Qiao Wei went over to take a look at the bedding.

It was dry and clean. Qiao Wei was quite satisfied with this.

"Mom, this room is for Dad and Zhuzi." Qiao Wei said, "You live with me."

Yan Lei's mother hesitated.

But there were two men and two women, and Qiao Wei and Yan Zhu were not husband and wife. If they didn't live like this, would they have to get another room?

She had just heard that the accommodation fee was 25 cents a night.

After all, she couldn't bear to spend the money, so she didn't raise any objections and followed Qiao Wei.

The waiter brought hot water. Each guest gets one bottle of hot water, and two kettles of hot water for two people.

They were also told where the water room was.

Qiao Wei boiled the cups in the room with hot water and put them on the cool water. She took out a towel, toothbrush and toothpaste: "Mom, let's go wash up."

Yan Lei's mother came to the provincial capital for the first time in her life. She was afraid of showing her timidity everywhere, so she followed Qiao Wei everywhere and did whatever she said.

Qiao Wei called the father and son over there and asked them to wash up together.

The two of them were very awkward and followed to wash up.

Back in the house, Qiao Wei asked: "What happened to Dad and Big Brother just now? If there is something inappropriate, please don't tell me. Let them tell you, and then you tell me."

"It's okay, it's okay." Yan Lei's mother said hurriedly, "Everything is fine. There is hot water."

She thought to herself, when did the old man and the eldest son wash their faces and brush their teeth at night? This is the first time in the world, it must be awkward.

But the daughter-in-law is strong, and now everyone is afraid of her. The two men dare not say "We don't wash our faces and brush our teeth at night, and we may not brush them in the morning either", so they can only follow suit and wash properly.

But she saw that even the little kid Yan Xiang washed himself properly, so she knew that this was the daily routine of city people like Qiao Wei. It's not that she deliberately made a fuss in front of them.

Just listen to her.

The next morning, Qiao Wei took them to the guesthouse restaurant for breakfast.

It was hot and delicious, but it cost money, and you had to give food coupons.

Yan Zhu was sharp-eyed and saw the food coupons that Qiao Wei took out, and whispered to his parents: "They are all national food coupons."

Food coupons from various provinces cannot be used interchangeably, only national food coupons can be used interchangeably. People on business trips need them, and they will exchange enough before going on a business trip.

In this era, because it is rare, the national food stamps can almost be regarded as hard currency, and it can be exchanged for anything.

But it is difficult for a person who is out on business to collect so many national food stamps.

Yan Lei was afraid that she would not have enough, so he exchanged as many as possible.

After breakfast, they went to the hospital. Yan Lei's mother was still worried: "Where are our things?"

Qiao Wei laughed: "Don't be afraid, I locked the door."

When she arrived at the hospital, she wanted to go to the surgery department. The triage nurse asked: "What's the situation?"

Qiao Wei said: "It should be kidney stones."

If the two words "should" are removed, Qiao Wei knew it was kidney stones from the beginning.

Because this should have been diagnosed by Yan Lei when he took Lin Xixi home to visit relatives in the first half of this year and then took his father to see a doctor.

The God's perspective is very convenient.

The doctor certainly couldn't just listen to her one-sided story. He did all the necessary tests and examinations, and finally diagnosed her with kidney stones and purulent infection, but he couldn't be sure if there were any complications.

Qiao Wei asked, "How can I cure it?"

"It needs surgery."

"Okay, then please arrange the surgery."

"Then it will be next month."

Qiao Wei frowned, "Why?"

The doctor said, "This month is full of study tasks and meetings. There is no time for surgery."

Qiao Wei said, "You can see that my old man's condition is very serious. Every day he delays will cause him more pain."

The doctor was a little impatient, "Then I can't do anything. If you have the guts, go talk to the dean. Please let this female comrade go. There are people behind us who want to see the doctor."

The people behind also shouted, "Comrade, have you finished seeing the doctor? We still have patients to see."

This doctor is not a person who can make decisions. There is no point in arguing with him.

Qiao Wei stepped out first and stood in the corridor.

She looked bad, and the Yan family did not dare to say anything.

Qiao Wei has always been very strong. If she can't do it, then the three country bumpkins will be even more helpless.

Yan Lei's father and Yan Zhu winked at Yan Lei's mother. Yan Lei's mother stayed with Qiao Wei for one night and became more familiar with her. Qiao Wei was very kind to her, so she was not so scared anymore. She tried to ask: "Qiao, Qiao Wei, what do you think we should do?"

We can't live here until next month, and every day is money.

Qiao Wei had no choice and sighed deeply.

Seeing her sighing, Yan Lei's mother was about to say, "Why don't we go back first and come back next month?" Qiao Wei suddenly took out a bunch of green things from her military bag, then took off the bag and handed it to Yan Zhu: "Brother, help me get it."

Yan Zhu took it obediently, holding the belt with both hands like a clothes rack.

Qiao Wei shook the things in her hands away, turned her arms and put them on her shoulders - it turned out to be a green military uniform.

Qiao Wei put her arms into the sleeves, and there was a red armband on the sleeves.

Qiao Wei fastened the buttons, took out a military cap from the military bag and put it on her head, and took out a military belt, tied it around her waist and fastened it.

The three people in the Yan family were stunned. Do you know why Qiao Wei's military bag is so bulging today?

In the blink of an eye, Qiao Wei was already dressed.

This was the last resort, she prepared it, and she didn't expect to use it, but she had to use it in the end.

She slung the military bag across her body again, and pushed Yan Xiang to Yan Lei's side: "Stay with grandpa and grandma, don't run around."

She said to her parents-in-law and uncle: "You wait here for me, I'll be back soon."

Qiao Wei, wearing a green military uniform, a military cap, a military belt around her waist, and armbands on her arms, turned and walked to the other end of the corridor.

When the people in the corridor saw her outfit, they subconsciously made way for her.

The three people in the Yan family looked at each other.

"My sister-in-law's outfit... looks..." Yan Zhu said in a low voice.

She looked like she was dressed the same as the street gangs. They had seen her in the county and provincial capitals.

"Where did she go?" Yan Lei's mother was worried.

Yan Lei's father whispered, "No matter what she does, we listen to her."

After a while, Qiao Wei came back.

She said, "Let's go back to the guesthouse first."

Yan Lei's mother asked, "What about the medical treatment?"

Qiao Wei said, "I came to Shan and Shan didn't see me, so let Shan come to me."

Unfortunately, none of the three people in the Yan family could understand.

When Qiao Wei returned to the guesthouse dressed like this, the receptionist was shocked.

Just as Qiao Wei expected, Shan came to see Qiao Wei less than two hours after she returned to the guesthouse.

There was a knock on the door, and Qiao Wei went to open the door in military uniform.

A middle-aged man with several people was outside the door. As soon as he saw Qiao Wei's dress, he knew he had found the right person.

"Comrade, I am the director of the First Hospital, my last name is Zhang." Director Zhang extended his hand and shook Qiao Wei's hand politely, "Comrade, it's all because we didn't do our job well. It's our fault. We have received your criticism and will definitely correct it."

"Comrade, that manuscript... hasn't been sent out yet, right?" Director Zhang asked tremblingly.

He was in a meeting outside, and the hospital called him and asked him to come back quickly.

When I came back, I learned that a female revolutionary comrade had barged into the dean's office and slammed a manuscript on the table.

"Tell your dean that I live in room 16 of the guesthouse next door."

"If you can't see him today, this manuscript will be published tomorrow."

Dean Zhang was called back urgently, and he read the manuscript and was sweating.

This is an article criticizing the medical system and the hospital leadership. The name of the hospital is left blank. With Dean Zhang's political literacy, it is not difficult to see that this is a manuscript prepared in advance. If you want to deal with a certain hospital, just fill in the name of the hospital.

It's very unfortunate that it fell on his head.

This is the current situation. The more you can fight against people of high rank, the greater your merits.

This manuscript is so well written, with sharp words and sentences, and it has a deep understanding of the central spirit. It is different from those simple big X newspapers posted outside. You can tell at a glance that the writer is someone in the system. Once it is sent to the newspaper, no matter which one it is sent to, it will be rushed to be published.

These days, the pen is a knife and can kill people.

The dean was sweating and asked the people in the office who he had offended.

Qiao Wei did leave a message. The secretary said: "Her patient has kidney stones and needs surgery. She said she is waiting in the guesthouse. If she can't wait today, she will be in the newspaper tomorrow."

The dean came with people.

He held Qiao Wei's hand, tears welling up in his eyes: "We won't be in the newspaper. Isn't it an operation? It will be arranged immediately!"

Yan Lei's father and Yan Zhu in Room 15 next door had heard the sound and opened the door to look around.

Qiao Wei came out soon.

"Dad, big brother, take your things and follow me." She said calmly, "Now we can arrange for hospitalization."
