Break out of the courtyard

When Zhang Zhaodi saw her second sister Zhang Pandi returning to the police station, she hurriedly asked, "What did Xiaosan say?"

"He asked someone to contact the dean of the Third Hospital, and those two thieves will not die!" Zhang Pandi held a quilt and walked quickly to the director's office at the end of the corridor.

"Old Qi, it's not that I don't want to release him, but we can't do it now!" In the office, the police station chief pointed at Chang Sheng and said, "Chief Chang is one of our own in the system. Ask him if he would dare to let Zhang Yong go back tonight if he were in my position!"

"Director Geng!" Zhang Pandi walked into the office holding two quilts. "I just called and asked, and the two thieves are not dead! Please be flexible and let me send these two quilts to my husband."

"As long as those two thieves are alive, you can at most give them some medical expenses!" Director Geng made up his mind, stood up and walked out, waving his right hand forward, "Alas... This matter has caused so much trouble that even the duty room in the department has been called."

As the director of the Houhai police station, Chief Geng has some understanding of the Zhang family's situation.

Three deputy section-level cadres and a deputy division-level brother who was doing something unknown in the south.

The key point is that the brother in their family is qualified to ride in a Hongqi car!

You know, if you want to buy a Hongqi car these days, you have to first check three generations of the family, then discuss your qualifications, and finally collect the money!

"Chief Chang, remember to bring the documents for that gun tomorrow!" Director Geng smiled at Chang Sheng, as a gesture of goodwill to the Zhang family.

Chang Sheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you, Director Geng, for reminding me. I will go back and look for the gun license documents I obtained earlier."

Chang Sheng obviously understood the other party's implication. They were all part of the same system, so it was very easy to get a gun license.

Zhang Pandi originally wanted to explain the origin of the gun, but when she saw her eldest brother-in-law Chang Sheng agreed to the matter, she suppressed her doubts and prepared to ask her eldest brother-in-law Chang Sheng later.

"Lao Geng, why don't you call the hospital and ask. If the hospital says the two thieves are no longer in danger of death, just release them. It's New Year's Day and it's so cold at night!"

Director Geng said with some dissatisfaction: "Old Qi, if you continue like this, it will be difficult for us to get along in the future!"

Director Geng felt that he had done enough. He just detained Zhang Yong for one night and sent someone to the hospital to confirm the matter when a doctor came to work tomorrow. Was it necessary to keep him there for so long?

The main thing is, does he dare to let it go?

What if someone dies?

"Thank you, Director Qi. My brother Heping said that he will come back tomorrow after finishing the work here, and will invite you and Director Geng to have a drink!" Zhang Pandi looked back at Director Qi and forced a smile.

"It's all the fault of those damned thieves!" Director Qi said indignantly, "Old Geng, I just heard from Zhang Yong that there are a few thieves outside the courtyard wall, you have to be careful and don't let them sneak into anyone's house in our street."

Director Geng raised his left index finger and pointed at Director Qi, who was taking revenge for personal gain. He refused to let the man go, but the old man was actually trying to deceive him.

The reason why Director Geng didn't dare to release the accomplices without authorization was that he was afraid that the gang of thieves would turn the tables on him!

After Zhang Pandi sent the quilt into the detention room, she comforted Zhang Yong with a few words and then went back with her elder sister and the others!

When passing by the street office, he took the borrowed black-and-white TV back with him.

……

February 1983, 2, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

After Zhang Heping rushed back to the capital with his parents and two nephews, he immediately took a bus to the Third People's Hospital. With a gloomy face, he felt the pulse of the two thieves and took a look at the wounds on their abdomens that were scratched by stray bullets.

Mudd!

A false alarm!

My second sister Zhang Pandi said last night that her husband Zhang Yong fired a gun at an open space and somehow hit the two thieves with one shot.

At this point it seems that we can only blame these two thieves for their bad luck!

"Director Hou, thank you!" Zhang Heping shook hands with the director of the emergency department and said bluntly, "Please tell Dean Xie that the computer we agreed on last night has been arranged. Please take care of it later."

"You're welcome. Saving lives and healing the wounded is what we should do." Director Hou of the Emergency Department of the Third Hospital was a little confused. He didn't know about the computer, so he could only tell the dean the original words later.

Zhang Heping nodded, then hurried out of the hospital and went home in a Hongqi car.

After what happened last night, Zhang Heping suddenly realized that his network of relationships in the capital was still too narrow.

That group of classmates are now scattered all over the country, and most of them are still small cadres. It will take a long time for them to make a name for themselves.

Apart from that, the only people he knew in the capital were Old Lady Zheng, Director Wang, Director Qi, and some doctors from Xuanwu Hospital and Harmonious Hospital.

As for Grandma Yang from the Zhuang family and Zhao Jianguo's family, since the other party wanted to avoid suspicion, Zhang Heping had no need to shamelessly beg them unless it was absolutely necessary.

Fortunately, no one was killed this time and the incident was not a serious matter!

Just then, when Zhang Heping got home, he saw his second brother-in-law Zhang Yong talking to his mother Ma Xiuzhen and father Zhang Bing about what happened last night.

"They passed the washing machine and refrigerator outside the wall from the stairs near the gatehouse, but the people outside the wall didn't catch them, and there were two consecutive noises, and voices..." Zhang Yong said embarrassedly, and when he saw Zhang Heping enter the yard, he stopped talking.

"The two thieves only had minor injuries, they won't die!" Zhang Heping consoled everyone in the room, then glanced at the rifle on the dining table, frowned and asked, "Hasn't this gun been confiscated?"

The eldest brother-in-law Chang Sheng said, "After Director Geng reminded me last night, I reissued a gun license for Yongzi overnight."

Zhang Heping picked up a piece of paper covering the rifle, which was a civilian gun license issued by the railway department. The date of the inscription was the Friday before yesterday. "Okay, this matter was resolved without any danger. I'll arrange a dinner party here. The two brothers-in-law will have some drinks with me to thank the people who helped last night."

"Xiao San, where are you going to eat?" Second sister Zhang Pandi followed out with a stack of red envelopes, "This meal should be paid for by our family, and you have to take these red envelopes back."

"When I'm in this house, is it your turn to be the head of the family? And you're dividing your family and our family with me!" Zhang Heping walked into the left gatehouse unhappily and said dissatisfiedly:

"The red envelopes are New Year's money given to Xiaoyi and Tingting by our relatives in Hong Kong Island last night because they heard that we would be coming back this morning. If you don't want them, just give them to keep for yourselves."

As Zhang Heping spoke, he had already dialed the number.

To be on the safe side, Zhang Heping called the Capital Hotel first.

Although they seldom return to the capital, they have always rented a private room at the Capital Hotel.

Therefore, after Zhang Heping reported the room number, he smoothly communicated the seats for tomorrow's noon and the day after tomorrow's noon. After making appointments with people, he will confirm the time and number of tables with the Capital Hotel.

Then, Zhang Heping made the calls in the order he had made the previous night.

Finally, Zhang Heping looked at his second sister who was lingering beside him and said unhappily, "I rented a few rooms in the Capital Hotel that I didn't use. The rent is tens of thousands of dollars a year. Are you bothering me for such a small amount of money?"

"No!" Second sister Zhang Pandi said hurriedly: "I just didn't expect that you contacted so many people last night!"

"Can't you contact more people? What if someone dies?" Zhang Heping said angrily, "You were so panicked last night that you couldn't even speak clearly, and you didn't send anyone to the Third Hospital to check!"

"I called someone in Hong Kong, and someone else asked a friend to handle it. Plus, last night was Chinese New Year's Eve, so there were so many people passing the message, and a lot of details were not made clear!"

Zhang Heping said as he went to the kitchen next door. "Mom, stop talking nonsense. We haven't eaten yet!"

After a simple meal of dumplings, Zhang Heping rode his 28-inch bicycle with two sacks on the back seat to the Friendship Store for a quick shopping.

The next day, the second day of the Chinese New Year, at ten o'clock in the morning.

After Zhang Heping and his family arrived at the Capital Hotel, they began to set up a gift table outside the dining room and asked his second sister and her husband to be responsible for distributing thank-you gifts, which could also be considered New Year gifts.

Around eleven o'clock, all the staff from the Cancer Treatment Institute of Harmony Hospital arrived.

"Didn't I tell you to bring your family members?" Zhang Heping, who was greeting guests at the door, frowned and said, "My words as the director are useless, right?"

"Director Zhang!" Deputy Director Zhou, who was in charge of personnel and finance, hurried forward and whispered to Zhang Heping, "This place is too expensive. We heard that you invited a lot of people today, and we don't want you to spend money!"

"It seems that Comrade Zhou wants to seize my power as the director!" Zhang Heping smiled and climbed onto Deputy Director Zhou's shoulders.

It was this old guy who benefited the most last night and directly contacted the dean of the Third Hospital.

I guess there is someone above him!

"Listen up!" Zhang Heping looked at Deputy Director Qin and the researchers, "If you can contact your family by phone, go to the hotel front desk and call now. The phone bill will be charged directly to my account."

"If you can't get through by phone, hmph..." Zhang Heping pointed outside the door with a sly smile, "Go back and call for help! Sorry, we won't receive anyone who comes alone!"

The group of people were immediately divided into inner and outer camps. Those inside the door went to line up and make phone calls, while those outside the door could only reluctantly go back and call their families to come for a big meal.

Because of the Spring Festival holiday, no one told Zhang Heping that he was from another place, because the only two outsiders in the institute had already gone home.

"Director, our drugs have been distributed to major pharmaceutical companies across the country for production. The patent licensing fees will be charged according to the number of sales as you said." After Deputy Director Qin finished the call, he immediately ran over to report on his work.

"Yeah!" Zhang Heping looked towards the front desk and saw that Deputy Director Zhou had also finished his call, so he waved and called the other party out the door.

"I bought a piece of land in Hong Kong Island and plan to build a hospital, a medical research institute, and a vocational training school." Zhang Heping said while observing the expressions of the two people, "Please ask the leaders of Harmony Hospital if they want to cooperate with me to run a hospital and a research institute in Hong Kong Island."

"Many foreign medical books, drugs, and equipment cannot enter the country. I have some connections in Hong Kong Island. If you are not afraid of trouble and are willing to work in both the capital and Hong Kong Island, I can help you apply for a visa for Hong Kong Island."

When the two deputy directors heard this, they were stunned!

"Think about it carefully! It will take another year or so to build the house in Hong Kong Island. Now is the preparation stage." Zhang Heping climbed onto their shoulders and said with a smile, "Don't worry about food and accommodation in Hong Kong Island!"

"Of course, when you work in Hong Kong Island, you will get a lot of salary and subsidies!"

"In my plan, this hospital is not for profit. It is mainly to assist the Medical Research Institute, treat difficult and complicated diseases at home and abroad, and then research targeted drugs, surgical procedures, medical equipment, etc!"

Deputy Director Zhou asked hesitantly, "Director Zhang, I'd like to ask, how much do you plan to invest in the medical field?"

"The estimated investment for that piece of land, plus the buildings, equipment and instruments is 35 billion yuan!" After Zhang Heping said this, the two deputy directors tilted their heads back and looked at Zhang Heping in astonishment.

Zhang Heping let go of the two people's shoulders and said with a smile: "As for the later investment, we will gradually increase the investment funds as the personnel are deployed."

"So, the Capital Harmony Hospital only needs to send people there regularly. People who are stationed at the Hong Kong Island Research Institute are also welcome."

"Guests are coming!" Zhang Heping looked at the intersection outside the hotel, waved, and said to the two deputy directors:

"Later, I will discuss this matter with Director Zhao of the Department of Neurology at Xuanwu Hospital, and I will also contact other hospitals."

"I'll go greet the guests!" Zhang Heping said, and walked down the stairs quickly, smiling and asking:

"How did Aunt Wang invite Grandpa Zhuang and Grandma Yang? Please come in!"

"Your Grandpa Zhuang and I both retired in response to the policy. We heard that you were inviting us to dinner, and your Aunt Wang and her whole family were out!" Grandma Yang said, holding her little granddaughter and walking forward, smiling, "It just so happens that our house is quiet, so we came over to join in the fun!"

"This is the Brother Heping I told you about before!" Grandma Yang gave a brief introduction to her granddaughter.

The 12- or -year-old girl looked at Zhang Heping and asked curiously, "Brother Heping, I heard that you taught yourself Chinese medicine when you were years old. Not only did you cure your father, you also cured my grandfather's stroke?"

"That was 20 years ago!" Zhang Heping looked at the little girl and said with a smile, "If you are willing to study Chinese medicine, you will definitely be able to achieve success."

"No!" The little girl refused. "I want to be a diplomat like my dad!"

"That's a good idea!" Zhang Heping said with a smile, "When you become a diplomat, I will give you a translation machine so that you can understand languages ​​of all countries."

The little girl's eyes lit up, "Brother Heping, you must keep your word!"

"It's a deal!" Zhang Heping nodded and said, "On the condition that you tell me your name first!"

The girl introduced herself seriously: "My name is Zhou Zhou, and I want to travel to all continents in the future!"

"Zhou Zhou!" Director Wang Sumei smiled and said, "Your brother Heping is not only an excellent doctor, but also speaks the languages ​​of more than a dozen countries. At the Huadu Canton Fair, he met many foreigners and was able to communicate with them smoothly."

"Really?" The little girl suddenly said something in French.

"It's just daily communication." Zhang Heping replied in French with a smile, then led everyone to the entrance of the restaurant and got to know the other members of the Wang family one by one along the way.

As for the fact that only three people came from the dealer, he might still have some concerns.

"What is this?" Grandma Yang looked at the yellow paper box handed to her by Zhang Pandi, and the pile of boxes without any words on them behind her.

"New Year's gift!" Zhang Heping smiled and pressed the box in his second sister's hand, and whispered, "I'll deliver the gift to Grandma Yang and Aunt Wang later."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Heping led them into the dining room and to the main table.

Because there were so many people coming and their units were in a mess, only 6 tables were placed at the main table in the front row.

"First come, first seated. Today, there is no distinction between the main and the secondary. Family members sit next to each other!" Zhang Heping greeted with a smile, and then looked at his mother Ma Xiuzhen and father Zhang Bing who came over with red envelopes, "Dad, Mom, you entertain Grandma Yang, Grandpa Zhuang, Aunt Wang and others. I'm going to the door now."

Zhang Heping left, but behind him he heard the little ones expressing their gratitude and wishing everyone a happy new year after receiving the red envelopes.

"Others can continue to receive the gifts as usual!" Zhang Heping whispered a reminder to his second sister and brother-in-law as he passed by the table where the gifts were placed at the door.

"Oh! There are two hundred yuan in foreign exchange certificates in the red envelope!"

A little girl screamed behind him, but Zhang Heping had already walked quickly towards the door.

"Director Qi! Director Geng! Long time no see!"
