Fang Wenhai exclaimed, "Ah? Xiaoye, don't spend money like this! How much money will this cost? You're getting married too. How are you going to support your wife and children if you don't save money? Please don't spend money recklessly anymore. I don't need any nutritional supplements!"
Ye Zhiqiu said with a grin, "Hey, I'm from Beijing, and everyone in my family has a fixed amount! Three people in my family have jobs, and my grandfather is receiving a pension! Haven't I told you all this?
Do you really think I'm bragging? Even if I treat you to wine and meat every day, I'll find a way to get it! It's just that you, old squad leader, are so unlucky. Today's bone is too meaty.
But it doesn't matter, I'll arrange it for you in a week. I said that when you arrive in the capital, I will treat you to a high standard of food and drink, and I didn't just say it casually.
Okay, eat your eggs and drink your fish soup first. Remember to stir them; the fish is at the bottom of the soup! I'll empty your bedpan first, and then I'll talk to the nurses and have them help you more quickly with your personal hygiene needs."
After saying that, Ye Zhiqiu ignored Fang Wenhai's embarrassed call for help, opened the thermos, put it in his hand, and went to empty his chamber pot.
Fang Wenhai was so moved that his eyes were a little red. He could endure the suffering he had endured, but seeing others have their families come to care for them, his heart also missed his family, and that kind of sadness was really hard to bear.
Now I feel better, and someone comes to visit me. It seems that the wounds are no longer so painful because of the warmth in my heart...
After Ye Zhiqiu finished dealing with these, he said something to Fang Wenhai and went to the front to find the nurse on duty.
"Comrade, I am a friend of the patient Fang Wenhai. His family lives too far away to come and take care of him.
I'd like to discuss with you whether we can ask the person on duty in his ward to help heat up the soup and eggs, bring him hot water more frequently, and help him take out his feces and urine more often.
I won't let you work for nothing. Look, I'll give you ten yuan every month to subsidize you, and I won't care how you divide it. Is this okay?"
At first, the nurses were irritated because it was such a huge request! Nowadays, there are no dedicated caregivers in hospitals, so they have to do everything.
Hearing that her workload would increase, she naturally did not look at Ye Zhiqiu in a good mood! But after he finished speaking, it was different!
With a smile on her face, she whispered, "Which ward is he from? If you're willing to give us a subsidy, we'd definitely be willing to do more errands. It's not that we don't want to be more diligent, but there are only so many of us, and it would be embarrassing if we didn't treat all of these patients equally."
Ye Zhiqiu took out ten yuan and quietly handed it over, smiling and saying, "I understand! I'm not saying anything, it's just that my comrade's situation is special. After all, his family is far away in Shandong!
I don't have any other intention in mentioning this subsidy, except to say it's a subsidy for the extra work you've put in. Special circumstances warrant special treatment, and there's really no other reason for that.
How can we not pay people when we hire them to do work? Fang Wenhai is in bed number six in ward 11, so thank you for your hard work!"
"Well, it's nothing. We're all serving the people. I'll take note of this and won't be polite with you. Tell your friends to just ask if they need anything."
After asking about Fang Wenhai's condition, Ye Zhiqiu thanked him repeatedly before heading back to the ward. Don't think you paid a high price; it's really very little.
After all, there is no ban on accepting red envelopes now. It is unrealistic to expect people to be diligent and run around just by asking them to do so!
When he returned to the ward, Fang Wenhai only ate an egg and was reluctant to drink the soup.
Seeing that there were still so many eggs, Ye Zhiqiu asked with concern, "Old squad leader, are you in so much pain that you have no appetite? Don't be stingy with these eggs. Two or three a day is fine. Just eat as much as you want!"
Your health is already poor. If the nurse hadn't told you not to eat greasy food, as it would weaken your body and slow down the healing of your wounds, I would have wanted to get you some pork to replenish your body."
Fang Wenhai quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, don't mess around. Eat slowly, eat slowly. I won't be polite with you. You are the richest guy in our class now."
Ye Zhiqiu, sitting next to him, said with a grin, "That's right, buddy, you're really strong now! Now that I've retired and returned to the brewery, I'm the transport captain, a regular officer!"
Fang Wenhai was also happy for him. He said cheerfully, "That's great! Before I left, everyone told me to remember to contact you to see if you were bragging. I didn't expect you to be so dishonest and like to brag, but you also have some honest words!"
Ye Zhiqiu patted his chest and whispered, "Hey, the men in the capital may brag, but they don't do any work! Just focus on recovering. I've already made arrangements with the nurses and given them some subsidies.
Whether you want hot soup or hot eggs, or hot water to fill the chamber pot, just ask them! I still have some things to do for the boss tomorrow, and then it's time to go back to work.
Then I can only come to visit you in the evening. I'll see if I can get some fruit tomorrow. By the way, have you written to everyone?"
"Okay, I get it. Xiaoye, don't waste your money. What fruit am I going to eat? That would be a waste of money... I've already asked about the letter, but neither regular mailboxes nor postmen can deliver there. It can only be delivered to the military headquarters. Plus, I haven't seen you, so I didn't reply to them!"
"Okay, I'll send a letter to my brothers tomorrow and tell them you're enjoying yourself here and making them jealous! Speaking of which, my family also wants to come over to visit you today.
But I thought they had to go to work or school tomorrow, and it would be difficult to travel with the snow, so I didn't let them come. I'll bring them to visit you during the holidays.
Oh, and my partner is the same, I have to show it to you, so you don’t keep accusing me of bragging…”
The two chatted for a long time. It was getting late, but Fang Wenhai kept urging Ye Zhiqiu to go back and rest, so he said goodbye and left the hospital.
During the conversation, they also talked about his future situation, and Fang Wenhai seemed quite open-minded.
Because the army has promised to give him disability allowance, not only will they arrange a job for him, but they will also arrange for his wife and children to come over, including giving them urban household registration so that his whole family can have enough food.
So Fang Wenhai was very satisfied with this subsidy, and he had no complaints about becoming a cripple in the future.
Ye Zhiqiu was quite emotional, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad. Anyway, he knew very well that Fang Wenhai had no regrets!
The oath we swore in the army was not a lie!
I will go wherever my motherland needs me!
