Chapter 272 Responsible Teacher
Compared with the level after the National Day, when Qi Yue received an average of one or two patients with difficult and complicated diseases every day, by Thursday, the number of patients received had increased a lot.
Three came in the morning, and three more came in the afternoon.
Although the number of patients increased sharply, the workload Yu Zhiming had to do did not increase much.
He did not need to ponder and analyze the condition, but simply used his best skills to give each patient a thorough full-body examination.
Then, Yu Zhiming drew out the various organ injuries and physical abnormalities he had found and handed them to Teacher Qi Yue as an important basis for diagnosing the patient's condition.
By Friday, the Qi Yue Medical Research Center had received five more patients with difficult and complicated diseases.
Yu Zhiming, who was busy doing welfare physical examinations, had to pause his work to help Teacher Qi Yue check for physical abnormalities in patients.
This left Yu Zhiming with no time to rest at noon. After a hurried lunch, he started the physical examination work.
It was almost seven in the evening when Yu Zhiming finally finished all his work for the day...
After seeing off the last patient for a physical examination, Yu Zhiming stretched his arms, kicked his legs, expanded his chest and twisted his waist to relieve his physical fatigue and discomfort.
"Zhou Mo, what happened to the teacher these past two days?"
"So many patients were admitted at once?"
Zhou Mo was sorting out the records of the examinees and shook his head, "I don't know either."
"I remember that in the past, we only accepted three or four people a day at most. Yesterday's six people were a record, right?"
"Perhaps it's the money accumulated during the National Day holiday?"
Qiao Lei questioned, "We've been back to work for two weeks since the National Day holiday. It doesn't make sense that the second week would be busier than the first."
Yu Zhiming suddenly remembered that Teacher Qi Yue had indeed told him during dinner on the night when the National Day holiday ended that he would be busy after the holiday.
He analyzed, "They must be patients saved up for the National Day holiday. Don't forget what happened at the research institute last week."
"Not only was it delayed for two days, but the former teacher's wife was also diagnosed with cancer, which must have disrupted some of the teacher's work arrangements."
Yu Zhiming asked Zhou Mo again, "Has Researcher Xie remarried? Are there any other family members around?"
After receiving a physical examination by Yu Zhiming at Huashan Hospital, the group of people from Qidong Medical Research Institute were all transferred to the Affiliated Hospital of Jiaotong University for further treatment.
Yu Zhiming already knew that Xie Mei had undergone ovarian cancer removal surgery last Friday.
Zhou Mo replied softly, "As far as I know, after Researcher Xie divorced the director, he did not remarry."
"As for whether there are other family members living with her besides her daughter, I don't know..."
While the three of them were gossiping and chatting, they cleaned up the examination room and returned to the big office together.
There was no light in the director's office next door, and no sound was heard. It was obvious that Qi Yue had already left work.
Yu Zhiming quickly changed his clothes, signed out on his work tablet, tidied up his desk and was ready to leave.
"Hey, Doctor Yu..."
Zhou Mo slung over her bag and called out to Yu Zhiming, "Can I bring you lunch next week?"
Yu Zhiming refused: "Thank you, but no thanks."
"It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality. If your aunt keeps making lunch like this, I won't have an appetite for dinner when I get home tonight."
"To be honest, the food my sister cooks isn't as delicious as the food in the cafeteria."
Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "How could that be? Isn't it said that the best thing is the taste of home?"
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "My fourth sister only cooks until the food is cooked, but she can't make it taste like home."
"My eldest sister, second sister, and third sister are about the same."
Zhou Mo suddenly realized something and said with a smile, "Today is Friday, your third sister is here in Binhai."
"Doctor Yu, you're so eager to go home..."
As the two talked, they walked out of the central building together.
Yu Zhiming saw his Mercedes-Benz parked in front of the building, and Gu Qingning's little head popped out of the car window.
"Zhiming, hurry up and get in the car. We're waiting for you to have dinner."
Yu Zhiming and Zhou Mo separated and sat in the passenger seat of the Mercedes-Benz. Then Gu Qingning said, "Zhiming, your nephew is here. He's from your second sister's family."
"Xiao Tao? Third sister brought him here?"
Yu Zhiming was a little surprised and asked, "He is in the third grade of junior high school, how can he have time to come to Binhai?"
Gu Qingning turned the steering wheel and replied, "He came here by high-speed train. He said he had a quarrel with your second sister."
"Running away from home! This naughty kid!" Yu Zhiming was a little angry.
Gu Qingning chuckled and said, "That little guy cried and told his story in front of the third and fourth sisters. It was too stressful and tiring."
"Your second sister made him study until after 10 pm every day and told him to surpass Xiaoxue in the college entrance examination."
Yu Zhiming sighed softly, "My eldest sister didn't graduate from high school, my second sister has a bachelor's degree, my third sister is a specialist nurse, and my fourth sister also has a specialist degree."
"Xiaoxue is the first college student of the next generation. My second sister must be holding her breath and wants her child to be the best."
Gu Qingning chuckled and asked, "Why doesn't Second Sister compete with you?"
Yu Zhi understood this guy at a glance.
Gu Qingning then said, "Third sister asked me to tell you that children are under great pressure and are just being rebellious."
"He already knows he's wrong, so he told you not to get angry when you get home, lest you scare the child."
"If you run away from home next time, it might be hard to find you."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and said, "This is something that deserves to be punished. Give him a good beating, and there won't be a next time."
Gu Qingning asked curiously, "Zhiming, I didn't expect you to have such a violent temper?"
"Hey, tell me the truth, have your nephews and nieces ever been beaten by you?"
Yu Zhiming said seriously, "How is that possible? The most I could do is give them a scolding."
"As for beatings, it was only when Xiaobo was a child and was too naughty that I spanked him a few times."
"Hitting the palm of Xiaoxue's hand is at most a punishment, not a beating."
Gu Qingning curled her lips.
Yu Zhiming continued slowly, "Xiao Bo and I grew up together. Xiao Xue was brought up by me, so we are even closer."
"The other ones have a big age gap and don't live together. I'm busy with study and work, so I only see them a few times a year. Our relationship isn't that close..."
After 7:30 in the evening, when Yu Zhiming returned to his residence in Zijinyuan, he saw his third sister, fourth sister, Zhang Bai, and a 1.7-meter-tall boy who were waiting in the living room all standing up.
The young Qi Tao wanted to take a step forward to greet him, but he didn't dare to take a step forward. He said timidly, "Uncle, you're back."
Yu Zhiming was about to glare when he heard his third sister coughing, and he had to relax his facial expression.
He asked gently, "Have you contacted your family?"
Qi Tao replied honestly: "I called my parents and asked them to let me go back with my third aunt tomorrow."
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "Since we're already in Binhai and it's the weekend, we can stay one more day and go back on Sunday."
"Let Fourth Aunt take you for a walk tomorrow."
Qi Tao said "oh" again honestly.
Yu Xinyue said, "Let's eat first. If you have anything to say, we can talk after dinner..."
The food on the table was obviously Zhang Bai's cooking.
After eating and drinking his fill, Yu Zhiming felt better.
He asked Qi Tao a few simple questions and confirmed that it was nothing serious. It was nothing more than that the little guy talked back a few words last night and was scolded by his second sister for more than half an hour. It was just a young man's impulse.
Facing Yu Zhiming's gentle expression, Qi Tao was no longer as scared as he was at the beginning and became much more active.
"Uncle, my mom said that you can remember everything taught in class after just one listen."
"Even so, you still study until eleven or twelve every night when you get home. Is that true?"
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but say with amusement: "How can it be as amazing as your mother said, that he would even forget to eat and sleep?"
"At that time, my eyesight was just fine, but I didn't dare study until eleven or twelve every night."
"But during the day, I don't dare to waste a single minute. I am very dedicated."
Yu Xiangwan, who was sitting nearby, leaned close to Gu Qingning's ear and whispered in a low voice, "Don't listen to his modesty. Lao Wu has been smart since he was a child. He really can understand things almost as soon as he hears them."
"One time I took a test paper and read it to him. In the end, his score was higher than mine."
Yu Xinyue also interrupted, "I can prove that this is true. My fifth child has been extremely intelligent since he was young."
Yu Zhiming turned around and said, "Fourth sister, there's nothing to show off about this."
"My test scores are higher than yours, not because I'm smart, but because you did so poorly."
Amidst the laughter, Yu Xiangwan became angry.
"Old Five, what's wrong with me?"
"My grades at that time were considered above average among a class of 40 or 50 people, okay?"
At this time, Yu Xinyue's cell phone rang.
She picked up the phone, listened to a few words, then stood up and handed the phone to Qi Tao.
"It's your homeroom teacher's number."
Qi Tao exclaimed in surprise, quickly stood up, took the phone, and ran to the bathroom.
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but sigh, "Are teachers these days so responsible? They even go out of their way to contact students by phone!"
Yu Xinyue hummed and said, "As the class teacher, if something happens to a student outside, there's a possibility that I might be implicated."
"Especially for students like this who run away from home, if the situation is not confirmed, the homeroom teacher will probably have trouble sleeping at night."
A few minutes later, Qi Tao came out of the bathroom dejectedly and handed the phone to Yu Zhiming again.
"Uncle, our teacher Qin wants to talk to you on the phone."
Yu Zhiming took the phone with some doubts and pressed the play button for the external audio.
"Hello, Teacher Qin! I'm Qi Tao's uncle, Yu Zhiming. I'm sorry to have caused you so much worry about Qi Tao."
As soon as Yu Zhiming finished speaking, a slightly deep male voice came from the phone.
"Hello, Doctor Yu! This is the class teacher's responsibility, not something you need to worry about."
"Doctor Yu, I'm taking the liberty to contact you because my wife is feeling a little unwell, and I'd like to consult you."
Yu Zhiming showed an expression of "as expected" and asked politely, "What's wrong with you?"
Teacher Qin replied on the phone: "Doctor Yu, my wife is also a teacher. In the past week or two, her throat has been a little uncomfortable, and she always feels like there is something in her throat."
"I went to the hospital for a checkup and was told it was pharyngitis."
"But after more than a week of treatment for pharyngitis, there was no effect at all."
"We're all a little worried. Could you please, Doctor Yu, take a moment to examine me?"
Yu Zhiming glanced at Qi Tao and said, "Director Qin, I can spare some time, but I need your wife to come to Binhai."
"Go to Binhai, Doctor Yu, no problem..."
Please support me by monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, etc.!
