It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning returned to their rented apartment in Zijinyuan Community.
The two originally planned to visit three families, but they spent some extra time at Dean Li's house and had to return home.
Yu Zhiming returned to his residence with a box of Moutai liquor and found that in addition to his fourth sister, Xiao Bo and Zhou Mo were also there.
The coffee table was also filled with white wine, red wine, tea, gift boxes and many other things.
"Wow, the return gift is a box of Moutai."
Fu Xiaobo took the Moutai with a shout and said excitedly, "Uncle, I've discovered that when others give gifts, they lose money, but when you give gifts, you make a lot of money."
"The gifts Zhou Mo and I sent to the five families, none of them came back cheap."
Gu Qingning said proudly, "This is because you are delivering the New Year gift on behalf of your uncle. They all want to maintain a close relationship with your uncle, so naturally they have to maintain it well."
Yu Zhiming hung up his coat and walked to the coffee table.
"Uncle, look..."
After putting the Moutai away, Fu Xiaobo picked up the two gift boxes on the coffee table and said, "These dried sea cucumbers and abalone are a return gift from Director Dong of the Logistics Department of your hospital."
"These two bottles of foreign red wine are a return gift from Dr. Wang Jiangyue. Secretary He's return gift is two bottles of Wuliangye."
"Dr. Zhao Shan's return gift is this box of tea."
Fu Xiaobo took out an unpacked calfskin briefcase and said, "This is a return gift from Dr. You Weixian."
He put the briefcase on his shoulder again and said with a chuckle, "Uncle, give me this briefcase. It's perfect for me to use when I go out to discuss business."
Yu Zhiming nodded and noticed that there was a women's bag box on the coffee table.
"What is this bag?"
Fu Xiaobo further explained: "It was also given by Doctor You."
"He gave us two bags, one for me and one for Zhou Mo, saying it was hard work for us to deliver the New Year gifts."
Zhou Mo said softly, "I understand. This is Dr. You's return gift to Dr. Yu, not for us personally."
Yu Zhiming picked up the bag and handed it to Zhou Mo.
"Take it."
"I was thinking of giving you some compensation, but in this case, you don't have to."
Zhou Mo glanced at Qing Ning and Yu Xiangwan, and seeing that there was no special reaction on their faces, he thanked them and accepted it with a happy smile.
Next, Yu Xiangwan also introduced the gift-giving process of her and Zhang Bai, as well as the return gifts from the five families.
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "Five, five, the hospital will come to pick up six of them themselves. In this case, tomorrow night, you two can make one more trip and that will be enough!"
He said with a bit of a headache: "For those places that need Qing Ning and I to deliver, we can only go to two or three places a night slowly."
Yu Zhiming looked at his fourth sister again and said, "Sister, put away all these return gifts. This Spring Festival, we shouldn't have to worry about gifts for our family."
Fu Xiaobo diligently helped to clean up.
"Uncle, these people's return gifts should also be given to them by others, right?"
Zhou Mo replied on behalf of Yu Zhiming: "Of course it is."
"Although hospitals and relevant departments have always strictly prohibited doctors from accepting gifts or red envelopes, in a society like ours where relationships are so important, how can we possibly eliminate the phenomenon of gift-giving?"
"Medical experts are a scarce resource, and it's very difficult for ordinary people to seek treatment from them."
Yu Zhiming also deeply understood what Zhou Mo said about the difficulty ordinary people have in seeing medical experts.
Take himself for example. Apart from the 50 registered patients in the outpatient clinic, the patients he usually sees are basically found through various relationships.
For some patients, it is a matter of chance.
Doctors have limited time and energy, and most of their time is taken up by patients who come through connections.
Naturally, there won’t be much chance left for ordinary patients.
Yu Zhiming could imagine that as his connections in Binhai continued to develop, the number of patients coming through various connections would inevitably increase...
After packing up the return gifts, Yu Xiangwan cooked a few more plates of dumplings as a midnight snack for everyone.
Fu Xiaobo took two plates of dumplings, some braised meat and side dishes, and half a dozen beers to Zhu Jun's house next door.
He also said that he would just sleep there and not come back.
Yu Zhiming took a sip of the dumpling soup and thought of something. He asked, "Are Zhu Jun and that young nurse still talking?"
Gu Qingning replied with a smile: "We're still talking. I heard that the relationship is pretty good and quite warm."
Yu Zhiming said "oh" and asked again: "How are Xiaobo and that girl doing? I haven't asked during this period of time."
Yu Xiangwan swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "We're still discussing it, but the girl's mother is against it, and we have to keep it a secret from the girl's father, so the negotiations are quite difficult."
Yu Zhiming said casually: "Let's talk slowly. Xiaobo is only 25 years old. There is no need to rush to get married..."
After eating dumplings, Yu Zhiming washed up and went to bed.
Zhou Mo stayed at Yu's house again...
No words all night!
The following day, Wednesday, was the day when the medical team from Huashan Hospital went to the community to provide free medical services.
According to the hospital's unified arrangement, Yu Zhiming, who wrapped himself like a dumpling, came to the hospital's comprehensive office building at 8:10 in the morning with his assistant Zhou Mo.
In the lobby on the first floor of the office building, Yu Zhiming met He Yingjun and a dozen young doctors who were waiting there.
I took a quick look and didn't recognize anyone.
"Secretary He, are we the only ones here?"
He Yingjun introduced, "Doctor Yu, they are assistants and students. The main person, except you, hasn't arrived yet."
He pulled out a list and said, "Our medical team also includes nine chief and deputy chief physicians from the Department of Respiratory Medicine, Department of Gastroenterology, Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Endocrinology, Department of Urology, Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Department of Pediatrics, and Department of Gynecology."
"The lowest level is deputy chief physician?"
Yu Zhiming exclaimed in surprise, took the list from Secretary He and took a look at it.
Apart from his own name, the names of the other nine people on the list looked very strange and not familiar at all.
Yu Zhiming knew that this was normal.
Huashan Doctor has a total staff of three to four thousand people, including more than one thousand doctors of various levels.
Yu Zhiming had never seen or heard of most of these doctors.
He Yingjun said softly, "To put it bluntly, this kind of warmth-giving is a political task, and it only happens once or twice a year."
"The hospital must take this seriously and send a strong and expert medical team."
Having said that, He Yingjun took a step back, looked Yu Zhiming up and down, and showed an embarrassed expression.
"Doctor Yu, our free clinic will be filmed by the news media and will likely be featured on TV news."
"You must be the focus of the shooting."
"Aren't you wearing too much?"
Yu Zhiming smiled awkwardly and said, "Didn't you say you were going to do a free clinic in the community square?"
"It's so cold, and I'm afraid of the cold."
He Yingjun chuckled and said, "We've set up a big, airtight tent and an electric heater, so it won't be too cold."
Yu Zhiming groaned and said, "If it's not cold in the tent, I'll just take off two pieces of clothing. I'll have to wear a white coat over it anyway, so nothing will be visible."
He Yingjun hummed, then chuckled and said, "Dr. Yu, thank you for the gift."
"This morning, I cooked a pack of instant noodles, ate a salted duck egg, and a handful of peanuts. It tasted very good."
Yu Zhiming said politely, "These are local specialties from my hometown, just a token of my appreciation. They're not worth much. But Secretary He, I'm sorry to have cost you so much for the two bottles of Wuliangye liquor you brought back."
He Yingjun said frankly: "Doctor Yu, your kindness is precious and I feel honored."
He moved closer to Yu Zhiming and said, "Last night, several people posted their gifts online."
"But I heard that some people couldn't sit still and wanted to know who you had sent to, Doctor Yu!"
"It will take another three to five days to deliver all the gifts."
Yu Zhiming explained, but then seemed puzzled. "Why would you ask about this? It's not a valuable gift."
Just then, Yu Zhiming's cell phone rang.
It was a call from Dr. Cui Zhitan.
When Yu Zhiming answered the call, Dr. Cui's voice came out of the phone.
"Doctor Yu, I saw Doctor Wang Jiangyue's WeChat Moments and found that you gave her a gift last night?"
This is a person who can't sit still and is impatient.
Yu Zhiming resisted the urge to roll his eyes and explained, "I asked my nephew to take it to Dr. Wang for me."
"Your place, I planned to deliver it myself."
"Doctor Cui, if you're in a hurry, I'll have my nephew deliver it to you tonight?"
Cui Zhitan chuckled on the phone and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. I told you, given our relationship, there's no reason for Dr. Wang to be ahead of me."
After a pause, he continued, "Doctor Yu, when you're coming, please let me know in advance. I'll prepare food at home and we can have a good time together."
Yu Zhiming quickly refused, "Doctor Cui, there's no need to bother. You all live quite far apart, and I can only visit two or three of them in one night."
"At most, I can have a cup of tea. There is no time for meals."
Cui Zhitan insisted: "But we still have to eat, right?"
"Well, after get off work, you come with me to my house. After dinner at my house, you can go to his place to give the gift."
this……
Yu Zhiming thought to himself, wouldn’t it be better if I gave you the gift directly at the hospital gate after get off work?
After a moment's silence, Yu Zhiming said, "This is too much of a bother. Doctor Cui, I told you before that I would treat you to a nice dinner alone."
"If you don't mind my slow treatment, Dr. Cui, how about I invite you to have a simple dinner near the hospital after get off work tomorrow?"
Cui Zhitan replied readily, "Okay, the feast isn't important. What's important is eating with you, Doctor Yu..."
After chatting with Dr. Cui for a few more words, Yu Zhiming hung up the phone and saw seven or eight middle-aged men in the hall.
Each person was surrounded by three or four young doctors carrying briefcases, medical kits, or backpacks.
Zhou Mo came over and said with a chuckle, "Doctor Yu, you are the most famous among the medical team."
"But yours is the smallest in terms of pomp and circumstance, with just me being a small assistant."
Yu Zhiming glanced at her.
"What's the big deal? You alone are enough to take on them... oh, actually, take on several of them."
Seeing Zhou Mo's eyes wide open, Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "Once we move to the old specimen building, I'll be able to travel with great fanfare, with seven or eight people following me..."
