Chapter 150: First Health Care Work and Chinese New Year
Regarding Wang Mengde’s joining the health care group of the Chinese Medicine Research Institute.

A few months ago, Mr. Pu mentioned it casually.

He didn't care at the time. After all, he was only in his twenties and his leaders might think he was too young.

A few years later, when he was 27 or 28 years old, his skills and experience had matured, and it was natural for him to join the health care group of the Chinese Medical Research Institute.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, he was suddenly notified to follow Mr. Pu to the health care team.

I arrived at the place in a daze, and did not see Director Lu. I only saw several deputy leaders and members of the health care team.

Several people carefully asked about the techniques he was good at.

After hearing him say that he had outstanding skills in acupuncture and massage, they found four patients and asked him to show off his skills on the spot.

Wang Mengde had no pressure with this kind of pediatric disease. He examined the conditions of four patients and then tried his hand at it.

This test made the team leader and deputy team leaders look at each other in bewilderment, speechless for a long time.

In particular, there are two members of the health care team who are good at acupuncture and massage. They are also famous experts in Chinese medicine. They have been famous in the country for decades and are considered to be among the top people in the country.

When I first saw this young man in his twenties, I thought he was getting special care and joining the health care team to gain some luster because of his fame.

Who knew it was actually a dragon diving into the pond.

The two men didn't care about their faces and hurriedly followed Wang Mengde, observing carefully and asking directly when they encountered something they didn't understand.

Wang Mengde did not hide anything and told everyone the tricks one by one.

Soon, an examination turned into a teaching scene.

Although the other people are not good at acupuncture and massage techniques, they know something about them.

As Wang Mengde gave his in-depth and easy-to-understand explanation, they listened with great interest, and from time to time showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

Only Mr. Pu was sitting alone on a chair, looking at his student surrounded by the crowd, smiling, pinching his beard and drinking tea.

After half an hour.

When Wang Mengde stopped what he was doing and narrating, he stood up.

These people finally reacted.

After waving his hand and letting the four patients, who looked surprised, leave.

After looking at each other, they returned to their seats.

The youngest among them were in their fifties, and the oldest, who was older than Mr. Pu, was in his eighties. He did not show any embarrassment at all about asking the young people for advice.

In the medical field, the most important thing is to take the most accomplished person as your teacher.

In front of Wang Mengde and Pu Lao, they discussed in a low voice for a few minutes and then reached a unanimous conclusion.

This young man is fully qualified to join the health care team.

Even more, if he does not join the health care team, it will be a loss for the health care team, the research institute and everyone.

After the discussion, they exchanged pleasantries for a while and then dispersed.

After returning, Wang Mengde did not take this matter to heart.

Although there were no medical problems, and political review was not an obstacle for him given his good family background, he still had to go through the necessary procedures.

I feel that this matter can only be settled after the New Year.

Now, it was passed so quickly.

"Sir, now that I have joined the health care team, what kind of work should I do?"

"Haha, you should be busy with your own things during normal times. Then, at a fixed time every month, the institute will ask you to go and provide health care to relevant personnel. If there are any special circumstances, a staff member will come to you on his own initiative.

Of course, these times will be arranged in advance, so you don’t have to worry about it, just wait for the car to pick you up.

By the way, when providing health care to relevant personnel, you must talk less and listen less, and you must not ask about things that you should not care about, and you must not express your opinions casually. "

Mr. Pu happily imparted his experience.

The situation where he and his disciple joined the health care team together was a start.

From then on, it became a good story in the medical world.

Next, he taught Wang Mengde many experiences such as "keep confidentiality" and "don't be too stubborn", which benefited Wang Mengde a lot.

A few days later.

Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon.

In addition, the vaccine has just been developed and is still awaiting clinical trials.

So, he brought a few of his fellow junior colleagues to Guang'anmen to see patients every day, and even the ongoing vaccine trials were suspended by him.

this day.

I had just returned from Guang'anmen Hospital and was about to go to the institute's cafeteria to eat when two people stopped me.

He knew both of these people; they were Dean Lu's secretary and a staff member in the institute's office.

On the way, seeing the other party's serious expression, Wang Mengde kept silent and did not take the initiative to ask the reason for looking for him.

After arriving at the place and waiting for a while, I met Dean Lu and finally understood the specific reason.

"Haha, Comrade Wang Mengde, I asked you to come here temporarily this time because I have been feeling some discomfort in my shoulder recently. I happened to hear that your massage technique is very good, so I asked you to come and help me relieve it."

"Dean Lu, I need to check it carefully."

Wang Mengde said quickly.

"Okay, you are the doctor and I am the patient, I will listen to you." Dean Lu said with a smile.

After examining the patient and asking some simple questions, he had an idea of ​​what was going on.

Dean Lu’s shoulder discomfort is not a big problem.

The cause is long-term fatigue from working at a desk every day.

It is similar to the various shoulder and neck diseases caused by many workers in previous lives due to sitting in front of computers for a long time.

For him, this symptom was a piece of cake and he could easily deal with it.

After more than twenty minutes of massage, Director Lu actually fell asleep on the massage bed. The tired expression on his face gradually turned into relaxation.

The staff members on the side all showed happy expressions. During this period of time, they felt very distressed when they saw Dean Lu working for more than ten hours every day despite being sick and not being able to rest.

I wanted to persuade President Lu to take more rest, but he declined with a smile because there were so many things in the country that needed his attention.

Now, after Wang Mengde’s massage for about twenty minutes, he was able to help the leader relax and rest.

Simply a surprise.

It just so happened that there was nothing important to do for a while, so they all stood there silently, waiting quietly.

Half an hour later.

Dean Lu just woke up from his deep sleep. He stretched and praised: "Comrade Wang Mengde, I feel very relaxed now.

I haven't felt this way for a long time. Your massage skills are really as good as they are said to be. They can be considered unique."

As he spoke, he turned his neck and did some chest expansion exercises, looking very comfortable.

Wang Mengde originally wanted to persuade him to combine work and rest. This kind of massage can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. After a while, he will definitely have this situation again.

But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.

I could only smile and say, "President Lu, if you need me in the future, you can always come to me."

"Okay, I'll definitely have to trouble you more in the future."

As he spoke, he raised his wrist and checked the time. He found that more than an hour had passed, so he hurriedly said, "Comrade Wang Mengde, I have an important meeting soon, so I have to leave first."

It’s the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and in two days, it will be the Chinese New Year.

In the courtyard, every household is preparing things for the New Year.

The whole yard was filled with the aroma of steamed buns and fried food.

Wang Mengde's home.

As soon as Ran Xiaomei put the refined lard residue on the dining table, He Shengnan came over with a few children.

"Shengnan, you must be greedy. Wait a moment. I'll get you a plate, put some on it, and sprinkle some salt on it."

Seeing her daughter-in-law looking like a greedy cat, Ran Xiaomei said with a smile.

"Mom, we want to eat too."

Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo also hurriedly expressed that they also wanted to eat lard residue.

"Okay, okay. We have everything. I'll break up some freshly steamed buns and add some in."

After finishing half a plate of lard residue and two steamed buns, He Shengnan burped, touched her bulging belly, picked up some toilet paper, and went out.

These toilet papers are all toilet rolls produced by Beijing Baizhifang in 58.

They also gave it a brand name, called "Anle".

As soon as it was sold in stores and supply and marketing cooperatives, Wang Mengde discovered it, so he changed the toilet paper in his home from yellow straw paper to snow-white toilet paper.

I walked out of the room, tightened my cotton-padded jacket, and just took a few steps when I met Xu Damao and his wife who had just returned from outside.

"Sister-in-law, get out!"

Lou Xiao'e was walking in front with empty hands. When she saw He Shengnan, she quickly greeted her.

Behind her, Xu Damao was carrying large and small bags of things in both hands. He stood by with a forced smile, watching the two people chatting.

"Yes, Xiao'e, you are going shopping."

"Sister-in-law, isn't the New Year coming soon? We haven't prepared anything at home. Today I asked Damao to take a day off, and we went to Wangfujing Department Store together to buy some New Year goods."

Lou Xiao'e said with a smile.

"By the way, sister-in-law, are you pregnant with a boy or a girl?"

She had been married into this courtyard for three or four months. Because of her simple personality, she and He Shengnan quickly became good friends who could talk about anything.

Therefore, there is no taboo in speaking.

"This time, a few days ago, Meng De took my pulse and said it was most likely a girl."

He Shengnan said with a happy face.

"Girls, that's great, sister-in-law, you now have both a son and a daughter."

Lou Xiao'e said enviously.

Then she turned to look at Xu Damao and said, "Da Mao, go back and cook first. I'll chat with my sister-in-law for a while."

"Hey." Xu Damao agreed, then nodded and bowed to He Shengnan and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go back first."

As he said this, he carried his things and walked towards the backyard.

Seeing him walk along the corridor to the backyard, He Shengnan said with a smile:

"Haha, Xiao'e, you should be almost there too."

"Sister-in-law, I'm still young now, let's wait another half a year or a year."

"You're not that young anymore, hurry up and have a baby. You look like a fertile person, and you will definitely give birth to a son."

Regardless of the cold, the two men stood in the middle courtyard, whispering to each other.

When she heard that Wang Mengde knew she was pregnant with a girl, she went to Wangfujing and bought a watch as a gift for her.

Lou Xiao'e was startled and said in surprise: "Ah, sister-in-law, I really envy you."

The conversation between the two people was heard by Qin Huairu who was washing by the sink.

She felt as if she had eaten a lemon, and it was so sour.

I gave birth to a daughter two years ago. During the confinement period, I hardly had any good food to eat.

He Shengnan received a watch as a gift even before she was born.

She couldn't help but feel sad. This guy was really infuriating when he compared himself with others.

Two days flew by.

Worked half a day.

At around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, all units and factories tacitly asked everyone to go back home early to celebrate the New Year.

night.

Yi Zhonghai and his wife, the deaf old lady, and the Shazhu brother and sister, celebrated the New Year with the Jia family again this year.

Looking at the chicken, duck, fish and meat on the dining table, Jia Zhang and Bang Geng swallowed hard several times.

"Master, please say a few words."

Jia Dongxu was also very greedy, he poured a glass of wine for each of them and then said.

"Okay, then I'll say a few words." Looking around, Yi Zhonghai said with a smile: "First, I wish the old lady a long life. Second, I wish everyone good work and the children grow up healthily."

Then he stopped talking.

"Master, there is a third one, it's my turn."

Sha Zhu said hurriedly, pointing at himself as he spoke.

"Haha, yes, and Zhuzi, I also wish you to find a partner soon in the new year."

Yi Zhonghai said happily.

"Uncle, I like what you said. By the way, Aunt, I hope you can take care of me in the new year."

Sha Zhu picked up the wine glass and spoke to Yi Zhonghai and his wife.

At the same time, he glanced in the direction of Qin Huairu opposite him.

This scene happened to be discovered by the deaf old lady.

She sighed in her heart. This eldest grandson was too deeply poisoned and there was no hope for him.

After drinking a glass of wine and picking up chopsticks, Yi Zhonghai said, "Everyone, hurry up and eat your food."

Then he picked up a peanut with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he observed everyone's performance.

When he saw the Jia family members wolfing down their food, which formed a sharp contrast with the leisurely eating of Sha Zhu and his sister, he began to ponder in his heart.

It would be perfect if Sha Zhu could give the lunch boxes he brought back from the steel mill every day to the Jia family.

Unfortunately, Dongxu is a person who would rather suffer than save face, so this matter will probably not last long.

next door.

At Wang Mengde's house, the whole family sat together, eating and drinking.

After eating just two bites, Ran Xiaomei said with some worry: "Hey, I don't know how your grandparents are doing now? It's New Year's Day today. Can we eat meat?"

Since large canteens have been built in rural areas now, there are no stoves in every home.

So, they did not go back to Tiangezhuang to celebrate the New Year this year.

"Mom, don't worry. I took a special leave the day before yesterday and went back home. I brought so much food with me. Even if there is no meat in the cafeteria, grandpa and grandma won't be hungry."

Wang Mengde comforted.

"Yes, mother. If you are worried, ask Meng De to go back tomorrow. We still have a lot of meat at home. Cook it tomorrow morning and put it in a lunch box wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket. Bring some peanuts, melon seeds, and cakes with you as well."

He Shengnan also spoke up to persuade.
