Chapter 265: Raising funds to build a house and moving with him
in the office.
After another unsuccessful attempt to recruit.
Wilson was not disappointed. When he was in the United States, he had seen many talented people who stuck to their bottom line because of their outstanding talents.
of course.
Afterwards, everyone he took a fancy to was eventually recruited by him for various reasons and became a helper of the family.
He always believed that everyone has weaknesses and desires, and if he failed to recruit people, it was because he did not put up any chips that would make people excited.
As long as the price is right, everyone will be bought.
There is still some time before he returns to China. If we try slowly, there will always be good results.
Thinking of this, he began to change the subject and said, "Mr. Wang Mengde, I have something else to trouble you with. I have a brother who was in a car accident seven or eight years ago. I would like you to treat him."
"Mr. Wilson, I don't usually study much about fractures caused by car accidents, and I'm afraid I'm not as good as an orthopedic expert."
Wang Mengde evaded the question.
At present, he is best at internal medicine, dermatology, and difficult and complicated diseases, plus acupuncture and massage techniques. As for the other things, although he has some knowledge, he has not reached the level of perfection.
When it comes to treating orthopedic diseases, he may not be as good as the top experts in the country.
Especially when it comes to performing surgery, he has never done it before.
"Mr. Wang Mengde, my brother's bone injuries have been healed in China. His current condition is a brain injury, and he has not woken up in the past seven or eight years.
I want to ask, do you have any solution for this situation? "
Wilson hastened to explain.
There are only three brothers left in his family, and the eldest brother became a vegetable due to a car accident.
It has been seven or eight years now, and despite the best care and treatment, there is no sign of recovery.
He had originally accepted his fate, but after coming to China this time and witnessing the magic of Wang Mengde, hope was rekindled in his heart.
"Mr. Wilson, I don't dare to easily conclude whether he can be awakened.
I can only say that in the past few years, the number of patients who have woken up from my care has exceeded double digits.
If you want to give it a try, you can send the patient here and I will do my best to treat him.”
Wang Mengde said cautiously.
He was not absolutely sure about vegetative state, a disease involving the brain.
It can even be said that his success rate is not particularly high.
All in all, although there were a dozen vegetative patients who woke up from his care in the past few years, there were dozens who did not wake up.
“Really, that’s great.
Mr. Wang Mengde, I will contact the country immediately and ask my brother to come here by the fastest plane. "
Wilson said happily.
He hadn't had much hope at first, but he didn't expect that Wang Mengde had actually cured a similar case.
And there were more than ten of them, which gave him hope.
His family is small, and any one more person can relieve the pressure and burden.
Besides, his brother was the most outstanding person among his peers in the family from the beginning. If he recovered, he might be able to take the family to a higher level.
winter solstice.
It just happened to be Sunday.
As the saying goes: If you don't eat dumplings during the winter solstice, no one will care if your ears freeze off.
It is a custom in many places in the north to eat dumplings on this day.
Beijing is no exception.
The government also knows that today is special, and has released a large amount of pork in grocery stores.
So, starting from the morning, from time to time, the sound of clinking dumpling stuffing could be heard in the yard, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, rising and falling.
Some neighbors can't wait to start preparing dumpling fillings.
Outside the yard, the adults all had rare smiles on their faces.
Children, on the other hand, are mostly innocent, running around in groups of three or five in the yards and alleys.
Sniff your nose from time to time, or simply wipe it with your sleeve.
Wang Mengde's home.
He held two kitchen knives, crossed his hands, and began to chop the beef on the chopping board rhythmically.
Today, they made dumplings stuffed with beef and green onions.
"Meng De, stop busying yourself. Go and take the piece of beef I cut last night to Caochang Hutong. Don't be too late or they will have already started making dumplings."
Ran Xiaomei walked in from outside and gave him instructions.
Yesterday, my son brought back a piece of beef weighing about ten pounds, which scared the whole family.
Although the economy has recovered a lot, pork tickets are still issued to each person in a fixed amount of one or two taels per month.
But beef is still scarce and nowhere to be found.
In this day and age, cattle are an indispensable means of production in rural areas, and one cow can replace several strong laborers.
Farming is inseparable from it.
Even if you have money you may not be able to buy one or two ounces, let alone such a big piece.
Fortunately, Wang Mengde explained that these were the food ingredients of the foreign patient, which were airlifted from abroad. Then, out of gratitude for saving them father and son, he gave him a large piece.
Moreover, the superiors are aware of this matter and have approved it.
After hearing his explanation, the family felt relieved.
Then, of course, they happily discussed how to prepare the meal.
At that time, Ran Xiaomei asked her daughter-in-law first. He Shengnan stared at the good beef and blurted out without thinking:
"Mom, why don't we make beef dumplings?"
No one had any objection to the words of the family's 'great hero'.
So last night, Ran Xiaomei cut the meat into several pieces, one of which weighed about three pounds, and prepared to save it to send to her in-laws.
"Okay, I'll go now."
Wang Mengde put the kitchen knife on the chopping board, washed his hands, picked up the beef, pushed his bicycle and went out.
Caochang Hutong.
Old He’s house.
Zhou Xiaoyan had just put her eldest grandson to sleep when she started preparing to make dumplings.
When he got off work last night, He Shengwen bought a pound of pork belly from the Gulou Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
This is a benefit only enjoyed by internal employees. Ordinary people, no matter how many meat coupons they have, can only buy three or two taels.
"Mom, let's wrap it together."
At this time, Guo Yuhe yawned and walked over from the next room.
During this period, she slept during the day and had to get up at night to feed the baby, which was very hard.
"Yuhe, go and rest for a while. I'll ask Shengwen and Shengwu to come and help."
When Zhou Xiaoyan saw her daughter-in-law, she smiled and said quickly.
She was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law. Not only was she virtuous and capable, but she also gave birth to a big fat boy for the He family.
"It's okay, Mom. I can't sleep now. I'll go wash the cabbage."
Guo Yuhe also refused with a smile.
She cherishes the good life now.
Before I married into the He family, when I was at my parents' home, I did the most work but ate the least and the worst.
Now, although she also works, the food she eats is completely different. If there is anything good at home, she is the first to get it, and even the most favored sister-in-law has to wait in line.
While they were talking, the envious voice of Aunt Gu next door came from outside the door:
"Shengwen's mother, your son-in-law will be here soon. I saw him from a distance, and he was carrying a piece of meat." "Oh, it's your brother-in-law. I'll go to the door to greet him."
When Zhou Xiaoyan heard that her son-in-law would be arriving soon, she hurriedly said to Guo Yuhe.
In the yard, as soon as Wang Mengde pushed the bicycle into the yard, he saw his mother-in-law.
"Meng De is here. It's cold outside. Come inside and warm up."
"Mom, I'll bring you some beef, just right for making dumplings."
"Hey, where did the beef come from? I left it for you to eat. What are you going to do with it?"
"This is a reward from my unit. I still have some at home."
Wang Mengde looked at the neighbors in the yard who were sticking their heads out to watch, so he explained.
He said this deliberately in order to dispel other people's doubts, otherwise, many people would be suspicious.
Sure enough, after his explanation, several people gave up the idea of going out to report.
After entering the house, Zhou Xiaoyan quickly told her son to start making tea. She sat next to him and said with a smile, "Meng De, how is Shengnan doing recently?
I've been busy here, and I haven't been to see her for a few days. Is she still vomiting?"
"Shengnan has stopped vomiting a long time ago. His appetite has improved recently. He even wanted to eat beef and scallion dumplings last night."
Wang Mengde said with a smile.
arrive home.
The dumpling filling has been chopped by Wang Hao.
Ran Xiaomei was rolling out the dumpling wrappers, and He Shengnan was making dumplings with a few children.
Of course, people like Yaya are just making trouble.
Watching her use chopsticks with her left hand, Wang Mengde washed his hands and sat down, then smiled and said jokingly:
"Next year, we will have another left-handed person in our family."
It’s amazing to say that both his parents and He Shengnan use chopsticks normally with their right hands.
In his generation, including his two younger brothers, all were left-handed. In the next generation, including the child who was to be born, all four of them were left-handed as well.
"The baby hasn't been born yet, how do you know he will be left-handed?"
Ran Xiaomei said without raising her head.
Wang Hao, who was making dumplings next to him, looked up in shock and asked in disbelief:
"Meng De, can you also tell that the child is left-handed by feeling the pulse?"
No wonder he reacted so strongly.
He had only seen this kind of miraculous skill in his teacher Mr. Cheng.
At that time, when Mr. Cheng was taking the pulse of a pregnant woman, he casually said: This child is actually left-handed.
Everyone thought it was a joke at the time, but a few years later, that family brought their child over, and it turned out that the child was indeed left-handed.
"Dad, I can feel it now by taking your pulse."
Wang Mengde did not hide it and spoke frankly.
He also had a sudden breakthrough last year. He could tell by the pulse if there was any problem with the person's health.
"Not bad, really good."
Wang Hao said with some excitement.
My son's medical skills are getting better and better. At such a young age, he has reached a level that others can only achieve in their lifetime, or even beyond it.
He was genuinely proud.
Ran Xiaomei was not very interested in the conversation between her husband and son. She only knew that in a few months, she would have another grandson.
While I was happy, I also felt sad.
“Oh, after Shengnan is born, in a few years, there won’t be enough room for him at home.
When the time comes, we will move to Yuer Hutong, which is close to here and we can come here anytime every day."
In Courtyard No. 95, their family only had one wing room and one ear room.
The ear room was originally small, and as the children grew up, the bed could no longer accommodate them.
"Mom, in a few years, we will have an apartment to live in."
Wang Mengde smiled as he pinched the dumplings, saying: "I cured a patient from outside, and he donated one million US dollars to our hospital.
Then the state collected the foreign exchange and allocated more than 2 million yuan to our research institute.
After a vote by all employees, it was decided to use the money to build several staff dormitories.
Our dean said that my name must be on the first batch, and I must be given a larger house, at least one with three bedrooms. "
Since the more than two million yuan arrived, President Lu took immediate action.
First, a general meeting of all employees was held. After unanimously agreeing to build houses, they began to contact various relevant units in Beijing and surrounding areas.
All the materials and supplies needed to build the house were confirmed within a few days.
Those units all promised that after the spring, they would just go and get whatever materials they needed.
Anyway, in addition to producing materials within the plan, they would also secretly produce some extra materials outside the plan.
As long as it is not particularly excessive, the country and superiors generally turn a blind eye.
“Your unit also needs to raise funds to build a building.
Lao Zhou, who lives at the entrance of the alley, and his unit have been clamoring to raise funds to build a few buildings next to Dongzhimen some time ago.
At that time, he borrowed money from everywhere, hoping to buy a house to live in, and now this house in the alley is reserved for the eldest brother to get married. "
When Ran Xiaomei heard that her son’s unit was going to build a building, she instantly became excited.
She had long dreamed of living in an apartment building, which would not only have heating but also a separate bathroom, so she would no longer have to go out to go to the toilet or take a shower.
Of course, she ignored the situation where several households cooked together in the public area and shared the same kitchen.
“Well, our unit is also raising funds to build a building.
The government's allocation is the bulk of the money, but there is still a small difference, and we are prepared to let everyone contribute a little."
Wang Mengde said.
"It's only natural that we should contribute a little, our family doesn't need this little money.
I will choose a second floor when the time comes, where it is convenient to go up and down the stairs, it is not too shady, and I can get some sun exposure.”
Ran Xiaomei fantasized happily.
Guanganmen Hospital.
In an intensive care unit.
Wilson's brother was lying on the bed, and Wang Mengde was giving him acupuncture.
Wilson has become accustomed to seeing his brother's head and body covered with silver needles.
At the beginning, he was quite surprised, but when he saw Wang Mengde just glanced at it casually and then casually inserted more than a dozen silver needles, he was shocked.
After seeing it so many times, it’s no longer surprising.
"Mr. Wang Mengde, I am going to go back tomorrow. I will leave my brother and son in your care."
Wilson said quietly.
He has been away for such a long time that his younger brother at home has been urging him to go back quickly.
"Well, I wish you a safe journey!"
Wang Mengde kept moving his hands and spoke casually.
"king..."
Wilson was going to try to persuade him again. Just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly saw his brother's fingers seemed to move. He threw his words of persuasion behind him and said excitedly:
"He moved, his fingers moved!"
