early morning.

    The breeze rustled the leaves. The sun was warm and fell on Wu Mian''s face, reflecting the Khaki windbreaker red.

    It was early summer, but he was wearing a windbreaker, a pair of black parchment gloves and a pair of inappropriate sunglasses.

    The section chief of the medical department of Bajing township hospital bowed, slightly humble.

    He didn''t want to conflict with the "airborne" successor around him. He had long been disillusioned with the world of mortals. He just wanted to retire smoothly. Life is better for him to have grandchildren early than to be a dean.

    But in front of the cold, along the way, only section chief Duan was talking, but the young man didn''t say a word.

    Silence makes Sunglasses meaningful, even some other pressure.

    Section chief Duan''s heart is full of disgust. Who will come back when he goes abroad with some skills these days. How good it is abroad, especially doctors. The income is high and the work is not very busy. There is really no comparison in China.

    It seems that the boy of the old Wu family has gone abroad for gold plating these years, or aluminum alloy. When I came back, I couldn''t stand firm in the imperial capital. I had to go back to my hometown to pack a large clove of garlic.

    However, how old Wu''s boy is has nothing to do with section chief Duan. He has no idea of fighting with this young returnee... It is said that he is still a doctor or a professor. Thinking of the one behind Wu Mian, he was more careful.

    "Xiao Wu, the first corner is the emergency department and inpatient department of our hospital," section chief Duan said.

    Wu Mian nodded.

    "When I was a child, your mother took you on duty. I couldn''t play with that boy in my family. I have to say..."

    "When I was 7 years old, section chief Duan, you bought two Hailar ice bricks. The lower right corner of one package is a little broken. You block it with your hand and give it to your son." Wu Mian said flatly.

    Section chief Duan stumbled slightly.

    22 years ago, I can only remember about one thing, which is a good memory. After all... Lao Wu is now in that position. It''s a little old love to have an intersection with the Wu family.

    But how can Wu Mian remember so clearly?!

    For a moment, section chief Duan felt a little cold on his back. He immediately stabilized his mood and changed the subject.

    "Usually there are not many patients in our hospital. They are all villagers who come to some anti-inflammatory drugs. Two years ago, several universities were introduced into the city. The university city is next to it. Sometimes students will come to see a small trauma, and the hospital is more lively. It is said that it is a second-class hospital. In fact, we are not qualified at all, and many second-class operations can''t be done."

    "I don''t complain that we are not motivated. The county hospital is ten miles away. The hospital in the city is not far, and the Affiliated Hospital of Medical University is even closer than the city hospital. Those who have some money either go to the county hospital, or go to the city and province to see a doctor. No one comes here."

    Wu Mian nodded and said, "just don''t be busy."

    The sound is clean and transparent, like the sunrise sprinkled in the shade of the tree. It''s just a little cold. It''s not like now, but the sunrise in winter. It''s hard to erase the cold energy.

    He heard that the words of section chief Duan were wrong. He had a good memory and other people''s different eyes. He had been used to it for so many years.

    On Friday, 22 years ago, the wind, the smell of disinfectant in the hospital and the milk smell of ice bricks directly appeared in Wu Mian''s mind without remembering.

    At the thought of these, Wu Mian felt a slight headache.

    There are not as many people in the hospitals in the countryside as in the imperial capital and the magic capital. The morning is quiet and the birds sing in the woods. It looks like years are quiet.

    They were walking along the Boulevard. Section chief Duan introduced Wu Mian to the "glorious" history and existing structure of Bajing township hospital.

    "We just saw that the clinic next to the road is not open yet. This is the former family building. I don''t know if you remember. All the family members live in our hospital. Now they all move. Let''s rent out here. Don''t do anything disorderly. Below are the laboratory department and pathology department. Here, the house with the sign of security department is the security department outside and the Acupuncture Department of traditional Chinese medicine inside."

    Wu Mian listened to the introduction of section chief Duan and was filled with emotion. In my memory, bajingzi traditional Chinese medicine hospital was like this 22 years ago. Unexpectedly, there has been no change in these many days.

    The laboratory department is under the residential building, and the Acupuncture Department and the security department are together. This combination is rare now.

    The red brick wall in my memory has been polished by years, and its color is much dimmed. The green vines on it are thick and lush, vibrant and dancing gently against the rising sun.

    "The new building is being built. It is said that we will move in a year." section chief Duan continued, "I told us about the new building a few years ago, but it was robbed by the county hospital. Looking at other people''s buildings, it is impossible to say that I am not greedy. I have no hope in my life. I just hope to have my own office before retirement. I will be satisfied with drinking tea and reading the newspaper every day."

    "Now there is an office, but the opposite door is the bathroom. Drinking tea tastes like a child."

    Just then, there was a noise from the emergency department.

    "Section chief Duan, I''ve been busy here early in the morning, and it doesn''t look very leisurely." Wu Mian frowned slightly, and her eyelashes blinked slightly under black sunglasses.

    Section chief Duan said with a smile, "Xiao Wu, just call me uncle Duan as before. We are not as formal as your big hospital. I call it the section chief, but in fact, it doesn''t even count as the unit level. The miscellaneous departments such as medical department, science and education department and medical record room are all together. I have only four people in total, and I have a patient who has been sick all the year round."

    He said, glancing at Wu Mian from the corner of his eye. But he didn''t expect a hairy boy less than 30 to understand.

    "Why is it so messy?" Wu Mian didn''t answer the section chief''s words. His ears moved slightly, then frowned and asked softly.

    In the direction of the emergency department, there were chaotic sounds, and the quiet wind in the morning seemed to become restless.

    When section chief Duan saw Wu Mian''s serious expression, he was happy and said with a smile, "don''t think so much. If there was a major emergency rescue, few would be sent to our hospital. The technical force is here, and it''s hard to live when it comes. It''s better to go to the city hospital, which is more than half an hour''s drive. No matter how urgent, the county hospital is better than us."

    Wu Mian nodded, his eyebrows immediately stretched and answered.

    Then he turned the corner and Wu Mian stopped.

    In front of the emergency department, a bearded middle-aged man in his 40s was dressed in white and his legs were exposed with black body hair. He looked very... Serious. Holding a peach wood sword in his hand, he said with words in his mouth, "only the Tao is respected inside and outside the three worlds. The body has golden light, reflecting my body."

    Wu Mian was stunned and then looked at section chief Duan.

    Although section chief Duan has no desire, he still needs the most basic face. Anyway, this is a hospital! Not the Taoist temple on laogua mountain!!

    Wearing white clothes and "performing" folk customs in the morning is always bad. An old face is slightly red. Section chief Duan really has no eyes to look at it.

    I want to explain something, but I feel flustered when it comes to my mouth.

    "The Taoist ''golden light mantra'' is still a professional and a talent." Wu Mian didn''t care. He stirred his eyelashes behind sunglasses, opened his eyes and looked at the distant crowd and the "folk master" with great interest.

    Although there is no blame or contempt for what he said, it makes section chief Duan feel more uncomfortable than just scolding.

    Bajing township hospital is said to be a second-class hospital, but the section chief knows what his hospital can and cannot do.

    Appendicitis is not only a necessary item, but also the main item of surgery. Cholecystectomy is the biggest operation in rural hospitals, and only director Lao Wang can do it. Although surgery is weak, internal medicine is OK. Cold, fever and infusion are much better than local clinics. No matter what, they are serious hospitals.

    Can folk customs be regarded as talents? Section chief Duan had a bad impression of Wu Mian. The boy is so insidious that he doesn''t even have a dirty word, but he makes himself very kind.

    If you always keep one eye open and one eye closed, the section chief who doesn''t care about folk customs will pass. But in front of Wu Mian, section chief Duan''s face really couldn''t hang.

    He is mainly afraid of what Wu Mian will say at home. Xiao Wu doesn''t care, but once Lao Wu feels wrong, he may have to eat and hang up.

    Section chief Duan coughed, frowned, took a few steps, and scolded, "what are you doing, trinket?"

    Dr. Wei Dabao, dressed in white and holding a peach wood sword, recited attentively. He played with the peach wood sword and didn''t notice section chief or care about him at all.

    The wind is generated by the wooden sword in your hand. If it weren''t for a pair of furry legs and dirty white clothes, it would really mean a bit of immortality if you put on a Taoist robe.

    "Wei Dabao!" section chief Duan raised his voice, and his words were already a little angry.

    "Get rid of the dirty things for the children. Don''t make trouble!"

    A woman in her thirties yelled angrily before section chief Duan got angry.

    “……”

    Section chief Duan had no momentum at all, and the whole person counseled directly. The old women in the village can''t be provoked. When they are really fierce, they splash and scratch their faces. They can''t even go home.

    "Go away! Don''t disturb master Wei." another man glared at section chief Duan and said fiercely.

    The voice is not loud, not because it gives section chief face, but because he is worried that he will disturb master Wei''s practice.

    Section chief Duan was not angry, but sighed in his heart. It seemed that this was a fellow townsman who came to look for David Webb. He''s clear about the middle. If Wu Mian doesn''t follow, section chief Duan just doesn''t see it.

    Township hospitals are different from the hospitals in the city, even the hospitals in H county. We must not look at them with normal eyes.

    Generally speaking, medical disputes only occur in the city.

    Bajing Township traditional Chinese medicine hospital, a small hospital, can''t pay much for breaking bones. It''s usually villagers who come to see doctors. We all know what we can see and what we can''t see.

    But this is also a benefit. Don''t worry about medical disputes. The work of the medical department is basically nothing. Just eat and die. As for medical quality and safe operation, section chief Duan thinks it has nothing to do with himself, which is not important.

    If you are willing to do folk customs, do folk customs. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

    But today is different from the past. Xiao Wu follows around. If I go back and tell Lao Wu Yi that the traditional Chinese medicine hospital is engaged in feudal superstition... This big pot can''t be carried by myself. I''m afraid the president of the hospital of Zhou can''t carry it.

    Section chief Duan is facing Dr. Wei who is doing "folk custom" activities. His face is as ugly as it is.

    The doctor is really not such a doctor!

    "Here, there is the Thunder God''s hidden sound of thunderbolt inside. Your gestures are not accurate. Your wrist should be up, and the arc drawn by the sword tip will be round." when section chief Duan was embarrassed, Wu Mian''s voice came from his ear.

    Section chief Duan''s old blood almost gushed out.

    Wu Mian, a medical doctor who graduated from a famous school and is said to have studied, was even interested in discussing the details of folk customs with Dr. Wei. Is there anything more unreliable than this!
