Chapter 184
The first day of 1982.
Nan Ruobing walked up to Nanyi and held her hand, "Dad, guess what I have in my hand?"
"The words are leaking, how could Dad not know, the tooth fell out?"
"Well, it fell off, and it didn't bleed." The little girl opened her hand, showing her teeth, "Dad, should I put my teeth under the pillow?"
"No, give it to me."
Nan Yi took the teeth from Nan Ruofing, went to the kitchen to find a clean cup, poured pure milk into the cup, and soaked the teeth in it.
After finishing all this, Nanyi handed the cup to Ruan Zhiping, "Zhiping, send it to Dr. Cheng."
"Dad, why did you send it to the doctor?"
"Because there are stem cells in the baby teeth, Dr. Cheng will separate your stem cells from the teeth and freeze them. In the future, if you get sick, it can save your life."
"Oh, that's it."
"Today's New Year's Day, Dad will take you out to play."
"Okay."
With two happy little girls, Dewin drove to Sanatorium and Hospital.
"Here, get out of the car, we will play here today."
Fan Hongdou looked up at the huge red cross on the wall, "Godfather, didn't you go to play, why did you bring us to the hospital?"
"Father, you don't want to take us to the morgue to tell ghost stories, do you?" Nan Ruofing's eyes lit up, a little eager to try.
"What are you thinking, the dead are the greatest, don't make fun of this."
"oh."
Nan Ruofing stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.
"Put it on."
Nanyi took out two protective masks, asked the two little girls to wear them, and tore open the packaging to take out a few pairs of medical gloves.
Holding one in each hand, Nanyi brought the two little girls to the ward area of the oncology department.
As soon as I arrived, I saw a well-dressed middle-aged man kneeling there, holding the doctor's thigh with both hands, "Doctor, please, please, I will get the money together as soon as possible. You help my wife first." Is the surgery okay?"
In later generations, the medical care here in Xiangcheng is relatively good, but it is still a bear. If you want to obtain better services, you will inevitably need to "benefit the market" to clear the way.
"You don't need to beg me, I have nothing to do, you should find a way to get the money together as soon as possible."
The doctor shook his head and ruthlessly rejected the request of the patient's family.
In Xiangshan, although doctors belong to the high-income group, their monthly salary cannot support their sympathy.
As a doctor in the oncology department, not only can I meet the family members of this kind of patients every day, but I can always meet a lot of them every month. It can only make my heart hard and cold.
"Money sometimes makes people lose their minds and make people do wrong things. But we can't do without money at all. For example, at this time, if this uncle is not short of money, he doesn't have to lower his self-esteem. Don't let your knees go limp.
There are only two kinds of people who say that money is not important, one is people who are not short of money, and the other is the lucky people among ordinary people who have never experienced what it is like to be rich.
In Xiangtang, if you have your own house and a family has an income of 5,000 Hong Kong dollars a month, you can live a comfortable life. If you want to eat some meat, you can eat some meat, and if you want to eat fish, you can eat fish. It is delicious and delicious Yes, you can go abroad once a year.
But if there is no house at home, or even more unlucky, there is no house and there are family members lying here, let alone five thousand, even if the income is 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, life will be very tight, or it will be very difficult. miserable. "
"Godfather, health is very important."
"Yes, the body is the capital of the revolution. No matter what job you do, you need to have a good body, so godfather will let you exercise every day."
"Dad, smoking is bad for your health, your body is so important, why do you still smoke?"
"Mental health is also an important indicator of physical health. My father is under a lot of pressure. I need to smoke to relieve the psychological pressure, which will make me feel happy;
If a person maintains a happy mood, he will not easily suffer from psychological diseases. Some physical diseases are also closely related to psychology. If a person is in a good mood, he will not easily suffer from other diseases.
This is a relatively positive reason, and the negative reason is because my father has become addicted to smoking, and not smoking will make me feel uncomfortable. "
"Oh, then you can quit and use other methods to relieve stress." Nan Ruofing took Nan Yi's hand and said in a coaxing tone, "Dad, can you quit?"
"Godfather, why don't you just quit smoking." Fan Hongdou also took Nanyi's hand and said.
Looking at the expectant eyes of the two little girls, Nan Yi could only nod helplessly, "Okay, Dad listens to you, and quit smoking from today."
"Yeah, Dad, it's so kind of you."
At the end of the episode, Nanyi continued to take the two little girls to observe in the ward area.
Once living in this ward area, poor people will become poor people, and middle-class families will also become negative assets.
"Suppose you manage a small group of ten people and live in an independent space. In order to have a better living condition, the ten of you need to perform their duties, play the greatest role in your own position, and make contributions to the group. .
You as managers can get the best rewards, and then others will reward them differently according to the size of their contributions.
Work hard and get rewarded. Everyone works together to develop the group in a good direction.
But at this time, if a person is sick, he cannot continue to work and cannot contribute to the group. As managers, how should you solve this patient's problem?
Ha ha, don't think about it, you still can't answer this question.
Today is January 1, 1982. Ten years later, that is, January 1, 1992, you will answer my question again. "
"oh!"
The two little girls were confused by Nan Yi's question. This question was too big, and Nan Yi couldn't come up with a good answer.
Ten years is the study time he gave his two daughters, and also the time for himself to think.
After staying in the hospital for two hours, Nan Yi took the two little girls to Sham Shui Po.
Since the Shek Kip Mei fire in the 1960s and the reconstruction of resettlement buildings, Sham Shui Po has become the location of the slums in downtown Heung Lap. The old buildings are full of coffin houses and cage houses.
The coffin house, as the name suggests, means that the area and pattern of the house are similar to those of a coffin.
"Excuse me, can we visit your house?"
When he went up to the old building and saw a house with an open door, Nan Yi stepped forward to discuss it. While talking, he handed over a hundred-dollar Hong Kong dollar.
"Ok, Ok."
The women in the room agreed, and nimbly took the Hong Kong dollar from Nanyi's hand.
"Dad is waiting for you at the door, you two go in and have a look."
Hearing Nan Yi's words, Nan Ruofing and Fan Hongdou squeezed sideways into the room, and then looked around the room.
Nanyi himself leaned against the door frame and looked inside. The area of the house was about 65 feet. There was a three-layer bed with an iron frame inside. Straight; there should be someone sleeping on each floor, because there are quilts and pillows on the beds.
There is also a wooden board standing beside the bed. Judging from its length and the padding on it, this wooden board should be used as a bed board, and it should be collected early and set up late.
From this point of view, at least four people lived in this room.
Less than 50 work points away from the bed, you can see a "kitchen". There is a wooden board on the gas tank, and the stove is placed on the wooden board.
On the left side of the kitchen is a wardrobe. The wardrobe is not too high. On the top of the cabinet are two boxes placed in a mess, and there are miscellaneous things stuffed on top of the boxes.
On the right side of the kitchen, there is a refrigerator with bad paint peeling and rust. There is a folding square table and several plastic stools at the opening of the refrigerator door. If you want to open the door of the refrigerator, you have to remove the table and stool , even so, the refrigerator door cannot be opened completely, only a narrow gap can be opened;
There are also a lot of sundries on the top of the refrigerator, piled up very high, about 70 to 80 centimeters. If you want to get something from above, you have to move everything down, which takes a lot of time each time.
Nan Yi was very surprised, how did their family cook meals? There was no room for a foldable table in the free space in the house, and there was no way for four people to eat at the same time. There was simply no room for them to sit down.
"Auntie, how do you usually eat?"
The father and daughter are connected with each other, and Nan Ruofing also has this question.
Perhaps because of the money, the woman was willing to explain Nan Ruofing's doubts, so she asked the second child to leave the room first, and then took the folding table from the refrigerator.
As soon as the folding table was picked up, Nan Yi knew how the table was arranged. It turned out that two of the legs of the folding table had been sawed, and they were much shorter than the other two. They could be placed on the bed board to maintain balance.
Sure enough, the woman opened the folding table, and half the size of the table was within the range of the bed board.
"My son sits here, my daughter sits here, my husband sits across from me, and I sit here." The woman stood on the edge of the table and gestured.
"Auntie, how old is your child?"
"The son is eight years old and the daughter is thirteen years old."
"Sister, haven't you applied for public housing?"
"I have applied, and I am waiting in line. It has been three years, and I haven't been in the line yet."
"Oh, excuse me, thank you."
The woman pursed her lips and asked, "Are these two your daughters?"
"Yes."
"Are you rich?"
"Fortunately, it's not too short."
"Then why did you bring your daughter to this kind of place?"
"You won't like to hear my answer, so I won't say it." Nanyi took out two 500 Hong Kong dollars and handed them to the woman, "I haven't seen your daughter, but I'd like to give her a little greeting, just say one The strange uncle hoped that she would keep studying hard."
After finishing speaking, Nan Yi waved his hand and left with the two little girls.
After walking far away, Nan Yi said: "Ruoping, Hongdou, what do you think after reading it?"
"Father, life will be very hard without money."
"Thank godfather."
Nan Yi gently stroked Fan Hongdou's head, without saying a word, and took the two children to visit the more cramped and miserable cage house...
