Chapter 13 Huo Jianguo is really awesome
"Teacher Zhao, this is not a school, we don't allow voting.
The old chief came to see this place this afternoon and gave me the command here. Now I am the most powerful person here and my words are military orders, which will not change because of voting. "
Huo Jianguo suppressed Zhao Ying's momentum with just one sentence.
Although she shouldn't laugh in this situation, Su Mei couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, thinking that Huo Jianguo was really awesome.
But Zhao Ying is a teacher and is not so easy to fool. She was stunned for a moment and then reacted immediately:
"Military orders are for soldiers to follow. We are not soldiers, we are the masses. You soldiers cannot be so arbitrary. You must listen to the collective voice at critical moments.
The situation now is that we, the masses, do not agree with what you are doing!"
.......
"Yeah, I don't agree anyway."
"I don't agree with that either."
“We all disagree.”
As soon as Zhao Ying gave a call, the people outside immediately started shouting slogans. It was obvious that they had discussed it in advance.
.......
Huo Jianguo was so angry that his temples were throbbing. He was about to speak when Aunt Wang suddenly walked out of the door with big strides. Standing at the door of her house, she bowed deeply to the people in the yard.
"I, Wang Meixiang, will remember everyone's kindness and concern for the rest of my life, but Li Yuan is my son. Whether or not Su Mei should come to treat him is my decision, and no one else can interfere.
I have decided to let Su Mei handle this matter. If you want to wait for news, just sit down and warm yourself by the fire. If you really can't accept it, just go back to sleep. Thank you all."
After saying this, Aunt Wang bowed deeply to everyone again.
At this point, everyone in the yard was too embarrassed to speak. Everyone was incited by Zhao Ying. But when they thought about it carefully, Li Yuan's biological mother was still alive, so it was really not their turn to worry about this matter.
Those who had originally stood up gradually sat down quietly and warmed themselves by the fire.
Only Zhao Ying still held his head up stubbornly, looking as if his kindness had been taken for granted, and shouted angrily:
"Auntie Wang, how can you be so desperate and seek medical help? You are so confused. Do you want Li Yuan to die in turmoil?"
"Zhao Ying, please watch your tone." Huo Jianguo was unhappy. It was normal to have disputes, but Zhao Ying shouldn't have said that Li Yuan was restless when he was still alive.
To speak like this to a mother is like a curse.
Aunt Wang's face also darkened. She looked at Zhao Ying and said very politely:
"Don't worry, even if my son dies in turmoil, he will only turn into a ghost and blame me, his mother, for making the wrong choice. It won't affect you, Teacher Zhao.
If you are really unhappy, Mr. Zhao, just go back to bed early. Thank you for today!"
After saying this, Aunt Wang turned around and went into the house without caring about Zhao Ying's reaction. She was still thinking about the needle that she should hold.
Zhao Ying seemed to think that Aunt Wang's words were too harsh, and she was so angry that she started to cry. She wiped her tears and walked out:
"Wait a minute, I'll go find the political commissar and see if anyone can stop you from making such a fuss."
The political commissar mentioned by Zhao Ying is Lu Zhenhai, Zhao Ying's uncle, who holds a high position of power in the army.
Although Huo Jianguo is at the same level as Lu Zhenhai, Lu Zhenhai can supervise Huo Jianguo because Huo Jianguo is in charge of military affairs and Lu Zhenhai is in charge of cadre assessment.
Lu Zhenhai is a decent person, but he is pedantic, stubborn, and inflexible in many things. When Huo Jianguo heard Zhao Ying say that she wanted to look for him, he couldn't help but frown.
Seeing that Zhao Ying finally stopped blocking the door, Su Mei breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't have much time to waste now, so she quickly walked outside.
Huo Jianguo followed Su Mei outside. When they reached the gate of the courtyard, Huo Jianguo seemed worried. He turned around and said to the two soldiers holding guns in the corner:
"Xie Li, Jiang Wei, you two are to guard the gate with guns in hand and perform military duties. Anyone who breaks in will be treated as obstructing military duties."
The charge of obstructing military service means execution on the spot.
Hearing this, Xie Li and Jiang Wei stood up suddenly, holding their guns at their sides, and stood guard at the door with solemn expressions.
After explaining the matters in the yard, Huo Jianguo took Su Mei and headed straight to the clinic at the base.
Because the doctor was not in the clinic, the door was locked. When he arrived at the place, Huo Jianguo directly used tools to pry open the door of the clinic.
After entering the military clinic, Su Mei realized that this place was completely different from the old and run-down house she had imagined.
There are all kinds of medicines here, and there is also a small operating room, which is where doctors usually treat soldiers' wounds.
"Why didn't you tell me there was an operating room here?" Su Mei complained. If she had known earlier, she would not have thought about taking the things and would have directly cleaned up the room where Huo Jianguo slept to use as an operating room.
Although surgery can be performed under difficult conditions and cannot be completely guaranteed to be sterile, it is not as safe as in an operating room.
Unfortunately, it was discovered too late, and even now that there is an operating room, it is too late.
Huo Jianguo was full of doubt: "You followed Grandpa Su, so you should have learned Chinese medicine. How come you can also perform surgery?"
“In fact, Chinese and Western medicine can be integrated in some aspects. And even though my grandfather is a Chinese medicine doctor, how can we say that he can’t perform surgery?
Traditional Chinese medicine also has its own methods. Otherwise, if someone with external injuries is sent to my grandpa, would my grandpa just be able to watch the person die?
I did learn more about Chinese medicine, but my grandfather was very curious about Western medicine and he bought some Western medical books, which I could recite by heart.”
"You've just read some books, and you dare to have surgery?" Huo Jianguo's face darkened as he watched Su Mei rummaging around.
Su Mei explained, "That's definitely not the case. I have done thousands of experiments with mice and rabbits before. Don't worry, I have experience."
Huo Jianguo: “….”
Is this also considered experience?
However, he had indeed heard that Western medicine would use animals whose structures were very similar to those of the human body for medical experiments.
"If you can't do it, don't be stubborn."
"Don't worry, it's not a big problem." Su Mei originally had no confidence, but now she has it, because she found all the medicines and a very exquisite set of scalpels.
This helped Su Mei, who was used to holding a scalpel and could decide life or death with just one knife, regain her confidence.
She found a bag in the clinic, put all the things she had collected into it, and then asked Huo Jianguo:
"Is the owner of this clinic easy to talk to? If I take his packaged items, will he be angry if he finds out?"
"You're used to stealing other people's things, so why do you care about this?"
Su Mei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's true."
Huo Jianguo: “….”
