Reborn in 1977

Chapter 306: Something Practical

After Chen Fan firmly refused, Yan Liyuan didn't say much more, leaving the naming issue to the leaders to resolve, and then discussed various first aid methods and principles with Chen Fan.

Before long, Hao Liyang, the deputy director of the Health Department, also arrived at work. Hearing that Chen Fan had come, he rushed to Yan Liyuan's office as soon as possible.

After another round of enthusiastic greetings, the place of communication was moved from here to the conference room upstairs.

Hao Liyang is the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee of the Health Department in charge of work, equivalent to the executive deputy director, and he is also leading the promotion of first aid methods.

In addition to him, the director and head of the Revolutionary Committee of the Health Department also showed up one after another, and together with many experts from the bureau, listened to Chen Fan's explanation of first aid methods.

Chen Fan explained in great detail, not only repeating everything he had told the veterinarians last time, but also adding an explanation of the principles of first aid methods on the basis of the last lecture. If there were any follow-up treatment plans and precautions, he also explained them clearly.

After all, the target audience of the last lecture was just a group of self-taught veterinarians with no foundation. They only needed to be told how to deal with emergencies. Now, he is facing people with a deep medical foundation, so the content of the lecture should naturally be different.

In fact, except for the method of clearing foreign objects from the respiratory tract, most other first aid methods are old news, but there have been some innovations in the steps to solve them in later generations.

The reason why Chen Fan explained it in such detail was on the one hand to popularize innovative methods, and on the other hand to prove that the first aid manual was indeed from his own hand, and not an imposter.

By the time he finished speaking, it was noon, and a burst of warm applause instantly rang out in the conference room.

Hao Liyang stood up while applauding, and said with excitement, "The things you have said can be completely strung together to compile a first aid book."

Then he changed the subject, "I heard that you are a barefoot doctor from the Lujiawan Production Team of Nanhugong Commune, are you interested in coming to our Health Department to work and personally participate in the compilation and promotion of this book?"

He was returning the favor, bringing Chen Fan in, which could be regarded as a reward for his contribution.

As for being promoted from a barefoot doctor to work in the Health Department all of a sudden, it is not a problem at all. Promotions in this era pay attention to background conditions and firm stance. As long as you can be appreciated by someone important, it is not uncommon to go from the fields to work in the capital all of a sudden. This is nothing at all.

In the corner of the conference room, Zhang Juemin and Zhang Wenliang looked at each other, and both could see the worry in each other's eyes.

Secretary Yang was still resourceful and guessed that this might happen. Next, as long as Chen Fan agrees, it will be time for them to "stir up trouble." Their requirements are not high, and they have never thought of hindering Chen Fan's future, but the brigade has just issued thousands of yuan worth of IOUs to run the breeding sideline. Without Chen Fan in charge, relying on the 12 veterinarians trained in the short term, they really have no confidence in running the breeding well.

Even the other four brigades were willing to let them issue IOUs because An Quan and Ye Shubao took Chen Fan out to talk about things. With Chen Fan, there would be strong support from the commune veterinary station, and they also promised that if they set up a breeding farm, they would take them to get rich together, which made it possible to get the seedlings on credit.

If Chen Fan is transferred away, after they hear about it, I am afraid that not only will the subsequent seedlings not be delivered, but even the ones that have already been delivered will be taken back.

In this way, Lujiawan would suffer a great loss.

As long as Chen Fan can stay for a few more months, help the production team's breeding sideline on the right track, and by the way, bring out those veterinarians, they will definitely beat gongs and drums to send Chen Fan to his new unit to work!

Just as Zhang Juemin and Zhang Wenliang were on standby, ready to "attack" at any time, Chen Fan said without hesitation, "Thank you for your kindness, Director Hao, but I am afraid that I am not talented enough and will delay major events. Let's leave this opportunity to others."

As soon as these words came out, the conference room suddenly became quiet.

Hao Liyang looked at him with surprise, "You don't want to?"

Jumping from a barefoot doctor in a production team to work in the Health Department, not only can the living environment undergo earth-shaking changes, but also can be transferred to a town household registration. For the production team members of this era, it is no exaggeration to describe it as "one step to the sky." Why doesn't he want to?

Looking at Director Hao, Chen Fan smiled slightly, raised his head and said awe-inspiringly, "From my personal point of view, I am definitely willing, after all, the Health Department is such a good unit, with both face and substance, and can contribute to the people and society. Who wouldn't want it?"

He sighed faintly, "But Lujiawan has cultivated me, and now is the time when I am needed. How can I leave for my own future? The Health Department can do without me, but Lujiawan can't, so I decided to stay in Lujiawan and do my best to build a good hometown!"

For Chen Fan, the biggest wish after time-traveling is to live comfortably and happily for the rest of his life. Now that the big house is built, the harsh rural environment is no longer a problem for him. Relying on the "land of fish and rice," the daily living standard is even higher than that of most cadre families in the city.

Can grassroots cadres have meat and fish every day, and someone to serve them to make beds, sweep the floor, and cook? Do you have a spacious and bright house? Do you have a mass base that responds to every call?

No, right?

He has it!

In Lujiawan, he can be said to be getting whatever he wants, from the brigade leaders to the ordinary members, they all call him Teacher Chen and hold him with both hands. I don't know how comfortable it is.

As long as he follows the steps and seizes the next few opportunities, he can not only fly himself, but also take Lujiawan to fly together. At that time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is half a local emperor, and this life wish will be realized!

But if he is transferred to the Health Department, not only will there be endless things to do every day, but there will also be people above him managing him, and people below him urging him. He must do this and that every day, and the living conditions are just like that.

Living in a single room of more than ten square meters, eating canteen meals without oil and water, and having endless work to do, for him, this is not called ascending to heaven, but "becoming a beast of burden."

So what honor, town household registration, several levels of salary, and a bright future, whoever wants it can have it, anyway, he doesn't want it.

I'll just tinker with something in the village, hide it for my own enjoyment, and take it out as a contribution, how good.

Hearing Chen Fan's words, Zhang Juemin and Zhang Wenliang could no longer restrain themselves, and rushed up with a whoosh, grabbing his arms on the left and right.

Zhang Wenliang said with excitement, "From today on, you are my own brother. Whoever dares to be rude to you, our Zhang family will not let him go!"

Zhang Juemin said with red eyes, suppressing the excitement in his heart, "Xiao Chen, I want to say sorry to you. Although I admire your ability very much, I always feel that you are not diligent enough, and you always like to show off, either showing off your long guns and short guns today, or showing off your belts and backpacks tomorrow. Not stable enough.

But I didn't expect, I didn't expect, your thoughts are so noble. When I return to Lujiawan, I must tell everyone here, let them know that you gave up a good unit and a good job in the city, and are willing to stay in Lujiawan to endure hardship!"

Chen Fan grinned awkwardly, "Actually, it's okay."

He has eaten a lot of big fish and meat, but he has never really suffered.

Not at all in line with the times!

The Zhang brothers are like this, and the others next to them are not bad either.

The director stepped forward two steps and grabbed Chen Fan's right hand, shaking it hard, "Sure enough, he is a good comrade who is rooted in the masses and wholeheartedly serves the people!"

The director followed closely, grasping Chen Fan's hand and shaking it vigorously, "The people will not forget you, the organization will not forget you. Whenever you want to come out, give me a call, and I'll arrange it!"

Chen Fan smiled faintly, his heart feeling a bit numb.

Damn it, not offering any real benefits, just spouting official jargon. If I don't come, you can freely arrange for people to蹭蹭 (cèng cèng -蹭 means to rub or to sponge off something, often for benefit) the popularity, right?

With the insincere, there are naturally the pragmatic.

Hao Liyang looked at him with a face full of emotion, nodding slightly, "Good lad, you're a good piece of material."

Then he turned to look at Yan Liyuan, "Section Chief Yan, have their living arrangements been taken care of?"

Yan Liyuan immediately said, "I've already asked someone to notify Sister Zhou. Sister Zhou has arranged for people to book rooms at the guest house. Considering they're new here and unfamiliar with the environment, we've arranged triple rooms for them, and meals will be in the guest house's small dining hall, at the Grade B standard."

Grade A standard is for receiving leaders; generally, when people from below come up, it's Grade C standard. Grade B is already an over-the-top reception.

Hao Liyang immediately said, "Raise the meals to Grade A standard, and arrange single rooms for all of them."

Zhang Juemin quickly said from the side, "One single room is fine, just let Teacher Chen rest well. My brother and I will stay together."

Hao Liyang nodded, "Then one cadre room and one double room. Also, take a portion of my personal allowance to properly treat Teacher Chen to lunch today."

He also started calling Chen Fan 'Teacher Chen' along with Zhang Juemin.

Chen Fan was about to offer some polite words with a grin when the director beside him, seeing Hao Liyang being so generous, also said, "In addition, according to the standard of two yuan per day for cadre business trips, issue subsidies to Teacher Chen."

The division chief, with his big belly, said with a smile, "It's rare for Teacher Chen to come to the prefectural committee. Section Chief Yan, go find Section Chief Zhou of the Political Work Section and say it's my order, get some票证 (piào zhèng - coupons or vouchers) and let Teacher Chen buy some souvenirs when they go back."

Chen Fan tried hard to control his expression, trying not to laugh too exaggeratedly, and said with a wink, "Thank you for the kindness of all the leaders, but I haven't made any contributions yet..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hao Liyang said sternly, "Being able to come up with this set of first aid methods is already a great contribution. No amount of reward is too much."

After a pause, he added, "Your explanation just now was very wonderful. Some places have innovated, which is very useful for our first aid work, but..."

Speaking of this, his tone became a little gentler, and he smiled, "As the saying goes, many hands make light work, and brainstorming can make things better."

Chen Fan didn't hesitate and immediately said, "Since I'm here, I'm just a brick for the leaders to use. Just give me your orders."

Hao Liyang nodded in satisfaction and said, "I hope you can stay for a few more days. On the one hand, personally explain these first aid methods to the directors and key members of the emergency departments of several directly affiliated hospitals. On the other hand, our bureau has organized several people to sort out relevant information and compile the emergency methods into a book. I hope you can participate and offer some suggestions."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Chen Fan could say anything, Yan Liyuan said with a smile, "There's something that several leaders might not know yet."

Hearing his words, the director, division chief, and Hao Liyang all turned to look at him.

Yan Liyuan smiled and said, "In this month's 'Jiangnan Literature', there's an article called 'On the Field of Hope'..."

At this time, the division chief nodded slightly, "I know, I've read it."

Then he looked at him in confusion, "What are you bringing this up for?"

Yan Liyuan pointed to Chen Fan, "This article was written by Teacher Chen."

Everyone present was surprised again, all looking at Chen Fan.

As the first influential literary magazine in the province to resume publication, almost half of the people here have bought it, and more than 80% have read it. Of course, they know this article with its old-fashioned theme, but novel narrative and writing style, but they didn't expect it to be from the hands of this young man in front of them?!

Really?!

Seeing the doubtful eyes of the crowd, Zhang Wenliang took the stage again. He stepped forward and said with pride, "This article was written by our Teacher Chen, and the published version is only a small part of the first article. Teacher Chen has already finished the second article..."

Chen Fan pulled him back, embarrassedly saying, "Old brother, keep a low profile."

Zhang Wenliang was about to retort, but seeing that his face didn't look too good, he muttered, "It's the truth."

Everyone saw this and basically didn't need to doubt it anymore.

Moreover, someone said, "Ah, I remember, the author of that article is Chen Fan. I thought it was a coincidence before, but I didn't expect it to be the same person."

Saying that, he was full of praise, "Understands medicine and literature, Teacher Chen is really multi-talented!"

Chen Fan laughed awkwardly, "No, no, it's just a small hobby."

What is being multi-talented? His main goal is to be wealthy and have billions.

Seeing that Chen Fan himself admitted it, Hao Liyang couldn't help laughing, "Good, good, good. Since Teacher Chen also has this ability, he should participate even more and strive to make this book even better."

At this point, this morning's "inspection meeting" came to an end. Everyone moved to the guest house not far away to welcome Chen Fan and the others.

Chen Fan was used to this kind of social activity, but before eating, he had to follow Yan Liyuan to the guest house room to put down his luggage.

The Health Department's guest house was originally a subordinate unit of the Health Department. The director and division chief had both come forward, so naturally, he could stay in any room type.

Both rooms were on the same floor and opposite each other.

Zhang Juemin and Zhang Wenliang entered the double room. Chen Fan also took a look at the door. Except for the lack of a bathroom, it was no different from a standard room in later generations. There was a large wardrobe at the door, two beds inside, and two single sofas and a coffee table by the window. The conditions were much better than the triple room he stayed in last night.

Then go and see the "cadre room" he lived in.

Tsk, tsk, tsk!

The mahogany floor was gleaming. Inside the room, which was more than 30 square meters, there was a super-large mahogany double bed in the middle against the wall, with two bedside tables at the head of the bed. At the foot of the bed, there was a large mahogany wardrobe against the wall, next to which was a three-drawer cabinet, with a 14-inch TV on top?!

It's really luxurious.

There were also two single sofas and a coffee table by the window, a clothes rack in the corner, and a low cabinet with an old-fashioned radio inside.

No, wait!

When Chen Fan got closer and looked again, it turned out to be a 3-in-1 machine that integrated a radio, tape recorder, and record player. This was a high-end product comparable to a TV!

These luxurious facilities are not the point.

When Chen Fan turned around, he found that there was a small door in the corner. Pushing the door open, it turned out to be a private bathroom?!

Full-length mirror, sink, toilet, bathtub, and even a shower head.

The decoration of this room is not much different from a five-star hotel in the 1980s.

Fortunately, Chen Fan had seen the world. Not to mention five-star hotels in the 1980s, he had stayed in them several times in the 21st century. After sighing at the luxury regardless of the era, he put his luggage in the wardrobe, but kept the important items with him, then washed his face in the bathroom, tidied up his clothes, and strode out.
