Break out of the courtyard

After Zhang Heping returned with Director Qi and Director Geng, Director Geng took the initiative to toast the Zhang family:

"We have been neighbors for many years. When we meet in Houhai on weekdays, we just smile and say hello. In the future, we will have to say hello when we meet again. Don't you think so?"

"Director Geng is right!" Chang Sheng quickly expressed his opinion.

"Just call me Lao Geng, that's what everyone I know calls me!" Director Geng corrected the address and then finished the wine in his glass.

Zhang Heping accompanied them for a drink, and saw Lao Geng and Lao Zhang talking about how to address each other. The next second, he looked at Director Zhao who was standing aside and waving at him.

"Is there something?" Zhang Heping walked over puzzledly, took a look at the dean's table, and found that there were a lot more people.

"It's all your fault. You brought so many family members here. You have to treat patients while having a meal!" Director Zhao said, pulling Zhang Heping to their table, "You should also give a hand."

"Director Zhang can also take pulses?" Director Xie of the Third Hospital looked at Zhang Heping in surprise.

"Dean Xie, you don't know!" Dean Dai, who had just finished taking the patient's pulse, frowned and said, "Our Director Zhang started to learn Chinese medicine at the age of 12. At the age of 16, he participated in the earthquake relief team with his superb acupuncture skills and helped many injured people avoid amputation!"

As he spoke, Director Dai asked the elderly patient in front of him to go to Zhang Heping, "Director Zhang, please lend a hand and see what's going on."

"The liver pulse is stringy, the spleen pulse is weak..." Zhang Heping glanced at the old lady's face and said, "Open your mouth, let me see your tongue."

"The liver qi is invading the spleen. How long have you been having diarrhea?" Zhang Heping asked as he wrote down a prescription for diarrhea and added Chuanxiong to it to regulate the liver qi and regulate the spleen qi.

The young woman next to the old lady answered, "I've had diarrhea for more than four months. I've taken a lot of medicine, but it hasn't gotten better."

"The old lady's illness, coupled with her sallow complexion, can easily be misdiagnosed as renal diarrhea. Before having diarrhea, her stomach will hurt, right?" Zhang Heping said casually, and then wrote another prescription.

The old lady replied: "Every time my stomach hurts, I have to squat in the urinal."

"This is painful diarrhea." After Zhang Heping wrote two prescriptions, he handed them to Dean Dai who was standing beside him for inspection. He continued to give medical advice, "For this disease, using prescriptions for treating the spleen and kidney alone will improve for a while, but it cannot be cured and will recur."

Dean Dai looked at the two prescriptions and said, "Use Tongxie Yaofang plus Chuanxiong to suppress the liver and support the spleen, and then use Yigongsan as a follow-up to replenish qi and strengthen the spleen, promote qi circulation and resolve stagnation. This may be a cure for this chronic diarrhea."

"It's hard to say!" Zhang Heping frowned and looked at the old lady's clean clothes without patches, then looked at the slightly tired young woman, and said:

"Whether the old lady's diarrhea can be cured depends on how much exercise she does on a regular basis. She still needs to do some proper labor and exercise."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Heping looked at the next person.

By the time they finished serving this table, the food had gone cold and it was already late.

However, Zhang Heping was well prepared. He asked the waiter to bring a bunch of large yellow enamel vegetable bowls to pack up!

After leaving the restaurant, Zhang Heping sent Grandma Yang, Grandpa Zhuang, and their granddaughter Zhou Zhou into a taxi, and put a gift box in the front seat for Zhou Zhou to hold.

The hotel front desk called a taxi and said they had called all the taxis that could be called.

After more than 30 taxis drove away, there were still a small number of people left walking back.

The Zhang family waited for a while until three taxis came back to settle the bill with the hotel front desk, and then Zhang Heping and his family took a taxi back.

There was no one in the next door courtyard No. 8. My eldest cousin Ma Lili and her family went back to Majiatun to celebrate the New Year, and Zhou's aunt Chen Liqin went to Xinjiang to visit her husband Zhou Jinyi.

As for Zhou Chengwu, the second son of the Zhou family, Zhang Heping looked down on him and did not invite him to dinner.

Their third sister Zhou Chengchen was assigned to teach in a county in western Sichuan after graduating from a normal school last year. She didn't even send a letter back during the holidays. I wonder what she was thinking.

There were 5 gift boxes left. Since Chang Sheng's father had sent two bottles of Xifeng Liquor to Old Zhang remotely, Zhang Heping asked his eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi to take 2 boxes back, letting her keep one box for herself and send one box to her parents-in-law.

I left one box for my eldest cousin, and the remaining two boxes were left at home to be arranged by my second sister and others.

After 4 p.m., a young doctor from Xuanwu Hospital submitted the application materials for the MRI machine. Zhang Heping remembered that the cooperation with the hospital in Hong Kong Island had not yet been discussed, so he used his home phone to call Director Zhao's office and briefly told him about the cooperation between the two hospitals and asked him to consider it first.

After the application materials from Harmonious Hospital and the Third People's Hospital were submitted, Zhang Heping rode his bicycle to Director Wang's home and brought four packs of Panda cigarettes.

Who would have thought that Zhonghua cigarettes were only considered mid-range cigarettes in the Friendship Store.

The more expensive ones are Panda cigarettes, a box of 20 cigarettes costs 12 US dollars.

Zhang Heping remembers that Panda cigarettes used to be sold for 10 yuan a box.

The most expensive things are foreign items, which are sold at one or two times the price.

Zhang Heping first delivered two packs of Panda cigarettes to the banker, and then went to the director Wang Sumei's home.

"You're just in time!" Director Wang had just put down the phone when Zhang Heping came in. "I just told the department head about your opinion. It just so happens that the Ministry of Health also has strong opinions and said that they are already studying the expansion of production."

"However, the specific expansion of production will depend on the number of orders at the spring Canton Fair."

"You have to be willing to spend money on advertising!" Zhang Heping put two cartons of Panda cigarettes on the coffee table, picked up a handful of melon seeds from the plate on the coffee table and started to eat them. "Even though there is an oil crisis abroad, it has no impact on large hospitals in developed countries."

"Because they serve the rich, they spend money to buy medical equipment from you, and then they add it to the medical expenses. This is what is called, the wool comes from the sheep."

Director Wang shook his head and said, "We can't do this. Going to a capitalist country and paying for advertising is considered aiding the enemy, which is the least of our accusations. What if..."

"Take it slow. Things will eventually develop in a positive direction." Zhang Heping said as he placed the three application materials on the coffee table and said with a smile, "This is the job I took on at noon today."

"Harmony Hospital wants to add an MRI machine because the number of cancer patients has increased, and with the needs of other types of patients, the previous prototype can no longer meet their needs."

"Another one is the one applied for by Xuanwu Hospital, which is mainly used for auxiliary detection of the head to support their psychiatric surgery research. This really needs support. I suggest giving them two so that they can develop brain medicine and teaching."

"The last one is the Third People's Hospital. They want to apply to become a domestic imaging teaching site to teach imaging equipment operation, magnetic resonance imaging diagnosis, etc., but they only applied for one unit."

Director Wang picked up the three documents, glanced at the stamped area, frowned and said, "How about letting Harmonious Hospital be the teaching site?"

"I just helped bring it here. The main thing is to see you." Zhang Heping said with a smile: "By the way, I promised to donate 100 computers to the Third Hospital. They will arrive after the New Year. If you use computers to assist in teaching, the effect should not be bad."

Director Wang laughed and scolded, "You little bastard, I knew you had some selfish motives!"

"Whether it's out of selfishness or public-spiritedness, it's ultimately a good thing that will benefit more people." Zhang Heping said while eating melon seeds:

"You saw how I went to see the old director of Harmony Hospital this afternoon. How can one person or one hospital handle all the patients?"

"Medical resources cannot be concentrated in large hospitals. They need to be spread out from one point to another."

"If not, why did the old man scold those masters back then!"
