Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

"Then you should go to the county hospital as soon as possible. We just sent the patient there yesterday, and we don't know if he has woken up yet."

Xu Damao didn't bother to ask what the situation was. He decided to meet the person first.

We got in the car and headed straight to the county hospital.

It turned out that Li Tianjiao was hiding something from him.

"These people coming from the Forty-Nine City are stranger than each other."

The lady from the neighborhood committee muttered something and left with her briefcase.

Xu Damao arrived at the hospital in a blink of an eye. If it were in the old city, he could just call anyone, but here, he felt a little unfamiliar with the place.

Instead of rushing to find someone, he went to the communications room and called the machine repair shop.

"Director Liu, has something happened to Ding Qiunan's family? Why is her father in the hospital?"

"You asked me where I was? I was at the county hospital."

The voice on the phone was that of Director Liu: "Ding Qiunan is in the machine repair factory now. To be more precise, she is in the office, right next to me. Please wait a moment, we will be there soon."

Xu Damao:......

what is happening?

How did the sick and hospitalized person go to the machine repair shop?

Is this equivalent to saying in front of Ding Qiunan that he has bad intentions towards her?

Before Xu Damao could continue asking questions, the other party had already hung up the phone.

"What is this?"

As soon as I returned to the hospital entrance, I saw a familiar man, Nan Yi, carrying a lunch box.

This chef no longer cooks at the machine repair factory, but instead starts delivering meals. Now Ding Qiunan is also at the machine repair factory, so there is no doubt that this is related to Ding Qiunan.

Xu Damao followed Nan Yi without hesitation.

"Master Nan, who are you delivering the meal to?"

"Who do you care who you deliver food to..."

This is Nan Yi's character, which is a bit similar to the rebuttal type, and similar to the pride of a sour scholar. When he saw that it was Xu Damao, he temporarily changed his words, because Director Liu had said many times that this person was the real breadwinner, and without this person, the machine repair factory would not be able to eat an egg this year.

This concerns all the employees in the factory, and he cannot be willful.

"Isn't this Director Xu? Why are you here?"

It’s a long way from Sijiu City to here.

"I heard that Comrade Ding Qiunan's parents were in the hospital, so I came to visit them."

Nan Yi's eyebrows twitched for a moment, but he didn't say what he wanted to say and swallowed it back.

The look of wanting to say something but stopping is indeed a bit funny.

Finally, he uttered, "That's a coincidence. I'm here to bring them food."

"That's perfect."

On the way, Xu Damao also asked about the reason for the hospitalization, but Nan Yi only had a vague idea because he just learned about it today.

As much as Xu Damao knew, he was sent to the hospital yesterday, but he didn’t know what the problem was.

With Nan Yi's guidance, they saved the trouble of asking around and quickly found the door of the ward.

The door of the ward was not closed. There were three beds inside. It had the smell of a hospital. There were about ten people in one room. It was messy and noisy. The patient on the bed was still coughing uncontrollably. There were scattered clothes and shoes on the floor, and a quilt that was rolled up to prevent people from stepping on it.

Xu Damao followed Nan Yi and walked in slowly, trying his best not to step on anything.

"Hello, uncle and aunt. I'm Nan Yi, the chef of the machine repair factory. Xiao Ding doesn't have time to come and deliver food today, so I'm the one who asked you to come."

Looking at the time, it’s already noon and I have spent most of the morning on the road.

At this time, Xu Damao also saw Ding's father and mother clearly. They were both wearing dark blue work clothes, which were washed cleanly. There were scattered white hair on their heads. Only Ding's father, who was wearing glasses, looked pale and very weak.

Mother Ding said gratefully, "So you are from the machine repair factory. Thank you for your help."

Nan Yi pulled the only small table nearby and handed the lunch box to Ding's mother.

A lunch box contains millet porridge.

The other lunch box contained rice and grilled eggplant.

Roasted eggplant consumes a lot of oil, and when the aroma of the oil wafted out, the noise level in the entire ward dropped by several degrees.

Everyone's life is not going well.

This dish of Nan Yi must have been cooked on a small stove.

Nan Yi considerately helped Father Ding sit up and lean against the back cushion.

"Thank you, Master Nan."

"It's not a hassle, it ... what we should do."

After entering the room, Nan Yi started to work and never gave Xu Damao a chance to interrupt.

Now Ding's mother started to feed Ding's father millet porridge with a spoon, and Xu Damao was still watching by the side.

The bowl of millet porridge was quickly finished, and Nan Yi quickly reminded him, "The doctor said that uncle can only drink porridge now, and can't eat steamed buns or rice."

"When I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll definitely thank you very much."

Xu Damao looked for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was wrong with Ding's father's health.

The three of them started chatting about discharge from the hospital and Ding Qiunan.

As long as you are not embarrassed, then others will be embarrassed. Xu Damao is just like this. Not only is he not embarrassed, but on the contrary he is very interested in listening.

"Now that Comrade Xiao Ding has graduated from high school, the machine repair factory is short of people, so you can let her go to work there."

Nan Yi is persuading Ding Qiunan to work in the machine repair factory. This is called "whoever is close to the water gets the moon first."

"What can you do after graduating from high school? Be a broadcaster or a waiter for the rest of your life? You need to go to college and continue your studies. I know that good medical schools offer places for studying abroad at public expense. As long as Qiu Nan goes abroad, I will be at peace even if she dies now."

It was quite a burden for Mr. Ding, who was in a weak state, to say so many words in one breath.

To this, Xu Damao can only say "ambitions are high".

If you fail the exam the first time, and fail the second time, and go hungry for a few days, you should be able to face the reality.

What is there to say?

I could have endured the darkness had I not seen the light.

Those who have studied abroad and are now in financial difficulty are the ones who most want to send their children abroad.

I am only talking about now, because it is well known that China is lagging behind. We can study abroad and learn advanced knowledge...

There are even some people who want to stay in the Lighthouse Country by any means necessary.

Those who wanted to leave were neither farmers nor factory workers. Most of them were intellectuals, "smart people" who knew what the situation was like outside.

Some people don't want to leave but have to leave.

Nan Yi was silent.

He didn't expect that the two elders' goals were so high.

His family used to run a restaurant, but they didn't have such ambitious ideas.

If I have to describe it, it would be 'lightly hungry'.

"Comrade Xiao Ding is very smart. She will definitely be able to pass the exam next year."

"Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely pass the exam next year."

At this time, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door. It sounded very anxious. The person who came in was Director Liu with Chief Liu, followed by Ding Qiunan.

"Director Xu, you should have informed me in advance if you were coming. I am embarrassed to come here without any preparation."

Director Liu came up and shook Xu Damao's hand, and praised him one after another.
