154. Heart disease
The weather is hot, and there are fewer people working in the fields.
Most of them stay at home to cool off, and wait for the sun to pass in the afternoon before doing some small work.
As usual, Chen Youcai stayed in the hospital to read medical books. When a patient came to the door, he put down his books and got up to meet him.
There is no air conditioning in the consultation room, and the old ceiling fan on the ceiling creaks and groans.
It is often worrying that this old antique will fall down without paying attention.
Sister Tao couldn't stand the sweltering heat in the house, she clamored to ask Lao Song to apply to the county, at least to improve the hardware facilities of the hospital.
Lao Song was also covered with sweat from the heat. He found a cattail fan from nowhere and fanned it vigorously.
"Wait, our health center is only a low-level unit at the township level, do you really count on the care of the county?"
He groaned, turned to look at Chen Youcai, and said nothing.
That resentful look is like an angry little daughter-in-law after being cheated on by her husband... Chen Youcai felt hairy all over, and touched the tip of his nose.
"How about I pay to install an air conditioner for the hospital?"
Chen Youcai didn't know that Lao Song's careful thinking was just trying to get some refreshing dew from him.
He's not stingy, it's because the effect of the refreshing dew is too strong.
After frequently curing patients, it will definitely attract the attention of caring people.
One must know that Chen Youcai hadn't figured out how to offend Pei Hu who was sent by the Wu family in Jinling inexplicably before.
After thinking about it, he felt that it was better to be low-key and safer for now.
"Yo, you are so talented, so generous?"
As soon as the words were finished, Sister Tao, who was fanning the wind with her palms open, couldn't help sneering and glared at Chen Youcai.
"Are you ready for the 10,000+ bride price?"
"Is the down payment enough for a new house?"
"Have you got the car, savings, and pension money for the elderly?"
Chen Youcai: "..."
Old Song: "..."
After some soul torture, not only did Chen Youcai froze like an eggplant beaten by frost, even Lao Song didn't dare to say a word.
"Wow, it's too hot here, much hotter than outside..."
After a while, Song Yiyi, who was sweating profusely, trotted in, but as soon as he stepped through the door, he wished he could turn around and run away.
"The meeting is over? Did you get promoted?"
Sister Tao handed her her hand-held small fan, complaining a little distressed.
"It's so hot, why don't you just come here from Zhangjia Town and stay at home with the air conditioner?"
"There's no one at home, I'm so bored by myself."
Song Yiyi straightened the hair around her ears, glanced at Chen Youcai intentionally or unintentionally, and then coughed seriously.
"From now on, you will call me Captain Song."
"What Captain Song..."
Both Chen Youcai and Lao Song were confused, and Song Yiyi blushed and said with a smile, "I am now the deputy captain of the poverty alleviation cadre team in Zhangjia Town."
"Is it really a promotion? Then you have to celebrate it. I know that there is a good restaurant in Zhangjia Town that specializes in stewed beef."
Lao Song pouted, he was happier than Song Yiyi herself.
"It's okay, it's just a little achievement."
Song Yiyi was a little shy, turned her head and glanced at the small consultation room.
She blinked her wonderful eyes: "How about I pay to install an air conditioner for you?"
"Is your dowry ready? Have you got enough down payment for the new house? Do you have the car, savings, and pension money for the elderly?"
Old Song imitated Sister Tao's tone just now, and kept asking questions with a straight face, which made Song Yiyi dumbfounded.
"House, my parents bought me two sets, and I own the car... I don't have much savings, but it's enough."
She came back to her senses, and said, "My parents run the company, so retirement shouldn't be a problem..."
Now, it was Lao Song's turn to be dumbfounded. Chen Youcai and Sister Tao looked at each other silently, almost laughing out loud with joy.
Don't look at Song Yiyi's simple and plain clothes, and she doesn't have much airs. These days, she has been running to the countryside, and her originally fair skin has turned into a wheat-colored tan.
But she is a real little rich woman!
To use a catchphrase, that is, "If you don't work hard, you have to go home obediently and inherit tens of millions of fortunes."
"Forget it, the three of us should pay together. A decent wall-mounted air conditioner is not expensive. A thousand or so per person is enough."
Sister Tao shook her head, and after she finished speaking, Chen Youcai was the first to express her agreement.
Lao Song dawdled for a while, and nodded reluctantly under Sister Tao's stare.
The four of them stayed in the room and chatted for a while. Seeing that it was five o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Song waved his hand and announced that he was off work.
Song Yiyi and the others went to Zhangjia Town, while Chen Youcai returned to his small courtyard alone.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a black shadow rushing towards his face, accompanied by strange gurgling sounds.
He was startled, subconsciously about to kick out.
Fortunately, he saw clearly in time that the other party was just a huge red-haired rooster, so he could hold back his feet.
In the main room, Aunt Xu was talking with her father, Chen Dazhuang, when she heard the movement, she immediately waved for Chen Youcai to pass.
"The chicken was specially brought by your aunt Xu from her mother's house, and she said it was to nourish your boy's body."
Sitting diagonally across from Aunt Xu, Chen Dazhuang turned his head and scolded Chen Youcai with a smile: "This brat runs around like crazy every day, how can he use his energy?"
"Then raise the chickens in the yard first. I see that there are quite a lot of talented friends, and I often come to him recently."
Aunt Xu said with a smile: "If you have a guest, you still have to prepare an order to greet you. If you are talented, don't you think so?"
"Yeah, thank you, Aunt Xu."
Chen Youcai was squinting at the big rooster in the yard, and he smiled gratefully upon hearing this.
The big rooster looked like an overlord, pacing proudly in the yard.
After inspecting the big stone mill under the persimmon tree, he jumped to the edge of the fish pond and pecked at the small insects flying on the water.
"Dad, why did Aunt Xu suddenly think of sending a chicken?"
After sending Aunt Xu away, Chen Youcai got into the kitchen, ready to light a fire and cook.
Since the village road was built, the big pot of rice under the big locust tree in the middle of the village disappeared, which made Chen Youcai a little unaccustomed.
After struggling to light the firewood stove, they fried some bacon and leeks. The father and son sat at the table of the Eight Immortals in the main room, burying their heads in their mouths.
"People treat you better, are you still not happy?"
Chen Dazhuang raised his face from the rice bowl, his cheeks twitched.
"At your Aunt Xu's natal house, someone introduced a deaf-mute person to her. I scolded her and brought your Aunt Xu back."
"..."
Chen Youcai stared blankly with his mouth full of rice grains, he couldn't help gasping, and then gave a thumbs up.
"Hmph, your Aunt Xu is a healthy person anyway, so why should you make do with others?"
Chen Dazhuang was still a little angry and planed the food in the bowl.
"Yes, it's not that no one wants it, hehe."
Chen Youcai nodded quickly like a chicken pecking rice, but what he said made Chen Dazhuang blush and gave him a hard look.
Just when Chen Dazhuang was about to speak, he heard a splash from the yard, followed by a series of splashing water sounds.
The father and son stood up together, and Chen Youcai turned his head to look at the noise, almost dropping his jaw in shock.
I don't know what kind of madness that chicken overlord had gone, but it was still pecking at the dorsal fin of a large crucian carp with golden scales and refused to let go.
As a result, the whole chicken with its beak fell into the fish pond. At this moment, it was fluttering its wings in panic and calling for help.
