Yang Baiyi looked at the young man in confusion. He hadn't spoken just now, so Yang Baiyi thought he was a neighbor who came to visit.
"Oh! Doctor Yang, this is my son Xiao Fuxing. Li Hun sent him out to work yesterday, so you didn't see him."
Xiao Qingyang looked at his son with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
If it weren't for me, my son would either be in college now, or find a job he likes after graduating from high school, and maybe even find a girl he likes.
But now, my son is only twenty years old, but he has suffered with me for five years.
"Brother Fuxing, you don't have to be so polite. I told Comrade Xiao yesterday that I am a doctor, and curing illnesses and saving lives is my job.
And I'm not helping you for free. You just keep working on the farm, and the farm will cover your medical expenses."
He came here at the invitation of the farm, and the farm owed him a favor. Yang Baiyi could not accept the thanks of these transferred cadres with a clear conscience.
They have suffered enough!
"Child, sit down and rest for a while. I'll pour you a cup of hot water."
Mu Xue felt a little embarrassed. She really couldn't think of anything to thank her savior.
"Auntie, no need. I still need to check with other people. You guys can rest. I won't disturb you."
Originally, Yang Baiyi wanted to eat something good to replenish his energy these days, but then he thought of their current situation and could only say that they should rest more.
The family of three saw Yang Baiyi out the door, and Mu Xue sighed.
"Fuxing, if you had listened to mom and drawn a clear line with us, you could have found a job and lived your own life now, right? Look at Doctor Yang, he looks even younger than you."
As she spoke, Mu Xue's tears began to fall.
"Mom, why are you saying this again? Home is where I am. I came to the farm willingly and I will never regret it.
When I was a child, you told me that you lost me, your sister, and you would never lose me again no matter what.
Although life is tough right now, at least we are together as a family, right? "
Xiao Fuxing stood between his parents and took the arms of Xiao Qingyang and Mu Xue.
The follow-up examination was much faster than the treatment. Just before noon, Yang Baiyi had finished checking all the patients.
Apart from being seriously exhausted, the cold and sadness have basically healed.
Sad colds are easy to cure, but physical deficiency needs to be slowly adjusted, and Yang Baiyi has no better way.
During lunch, Yang Baiyi told Sun Zhenhua about the situation. If there was nothing else, Yang Baiyi would go back in the afternoon.
"Director Sun, I asked the comrades on night duty yesterday. Li Hun left the farm on his bicycle last night and hasn't returned yet."
Zhang Weimin ran into the cafeteria and whispered in Sun Zhenhua's ear.
"It's so cold, why did he go back home so late at night? Did someone's package arrive yesterday?"
In the past, the task of checking parcels and letters was the responsibility of Zhang Weimin, who was in charge of logistics.
Influenced by Sun Zhenhua, Zhang Weimin is relatively lenient towards the transferred cadres. As long as the items mailed do not violate regulations, he generally will not withhold anything.
Seeing that this was a lucrative job, Li Hun went to find his backer and snatched the job away from Zhang Weimin.
After the cruel and ruthless Li Hun took on this task, he would not let go of anything he set his eyes on.
The already difficult lives of the cadres and intellectuals who were sent down to the countryside became even worse.
In the past, the relationship between Li Hun and Sun Zhenhua was not as incompatible as it is now.
Among the things that Li Hun had withheld, in addition to picking out some good things to offer as tribute, Li Hun also wanted to give a portion of the rest to Sun Zhenhua.
However, Sun Zhenhua was not a person who could take advantage of others' misfortune, so he firmly rejected Li Hun's good intention to release him.
From then on, Li Hun and Sun Zhenhua officially became enemies and their relationship took a sharp turn for the worse.
"Director Sun, Deputy Director Zhang, yesterday we received packages from Xu Shicheng and Li Yan. Perhaps due to the changing seasons, their families sent quite a few things. The two packages were quite large."
Lao Zhao, the person in charge of the mailroom, happened to be in the cafeteria. There were only two packages yesterday, so he was deeply impressed.
"That's right, Li Hun must have sent something home."
Sun Zhenhua showed a disdainful expression and did not hide his disgust for Li Hun at all.
"Section Chief Yao, after lunch, drive your jeep to Li Hun's house.
Although he often went home at night before, he never missed work the next day.
It just snowed, and the roads are quite slippery. He must not get into any accidents on the road."
Sun Zhenhua had a smile on his face, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Director Sun was hoping that Li Hun would have an accident.
"yes."
Yao Xuefeng, head of the Security Department, agreed.
Yao Xuefeng finished his meal in a few bites, called a security officer, and left the cafeteria.
Originally, Yang Baiyi wanted to resign, but seeing Sun Zhenhua's innocent look, Yang Baiyi decided to stay.
Sun Zhenhua, who was a soldier, is upright but lacks sophistication. I really don't know how he has been able to stay in the position of director for so long.
Maybe his family was extremely poor. If his family conditions were better, he would have been forced to step down by Li Hun and his backers on some pretext.
After lunch, Yang Baiyi came to Sun Zhenhua's office under the pretext of reporting on the patient's condition.
The two of them, along with Zhang Weimin, had just made some tea and chatted for a few minutes when Yao Xuefeng ran in.
"Director Sun, I asked Deputy Director Li's wife, and she said that Deputy Director Li didn't go home last night.
I've carefully examined every bump and bruise along the way, but there's no sign of Deputy Director Li."
Sun Zhenhua can call Li Hun by his name, but Yao Xuefeng dare not. Everyone working on the farm knows that Li Hun is a vengeful person.
"Director Sun, he's not sending it up there, is he?"
Zhang Weimin pointed his finger upwards.
"Impossible! Director Gou lives in the county town. There are no trains at night. Even if he pedals his bicycle till it smokes, he won't be able to get to the county town.
He went out on his own, and it has nothing to do with us, so let's just ignore him.
He can come back whenever he wants. It's even better if he doesn't. We'll be more comfortable without him around, and we won't have to worry about anyone reporting us at any time."
Sun Zhenhua took a sip of tea casually.
"Director Sun, since Deputy Director Li has someone above him, you'd better give him an explanation, so he doesn't use it as an excuse to cause trouble."
It was impossible to expect Sun Zhenhua to figure it out on his own, so Yang Baiyi had to take the initiative to speak.
"Doctor Yang, I don't know where Li Hun went. How can I explain this?"
Sun Zhenhua shrugged his shoulders, looking helpless.
