"You child..."
"Don''t say I''m bragging, Dad. I''ll just explain a fact to you." Wu Mian smiled. "Seriously, if you think that college student village official pretends to be ill, bring it to me. I''m good at these."
"Don''t talk nonsense. People say you''re uncomfortable. What can you do?" Wu Zhongtai shook his head.
"Cut, when I was in the United States, many people wanted to cheat on insurance. I called it the last gate of the medical insurance company. Those managers flattered me every month, and I saved them countless money." Wu Mian said with a smile, "don''t be angry. Bring it to me. If you really get sick, treat it early and don''t delay others."
"Impossible!" Wu Zhongtai said. After thinking for a while, he thought Wu Mian''s proposal was feasible, so he said, "if he agrees, where can I find you tomorrow?"
"The hospital, you can contact me anytime."
"Then early in the morning, you are free."
"Yes." Wu Mian said, "the old man takes people to see a doctor. No matter how busy he is, he can''t say no."
When Chu Zhixi finished eating, Wu Mian cleaned the table, washed the dishes, and sat down to watch TV with Wu Zhongtai. Chu Zhixi pinches Zhang Lan''s legs and the family is happy.
……
……
The next morning, Wu Mian went to the hospital and made an appointment with Wu Zhongtai to see the college student village official at 8:30.
"Township chief Wu, is that good..."
"Any township head or no township head belongs to the provincial capital, and now he is an assistant researcher." Wu Zhongtai said, "my son said to come and see him. It''s good to rest assured."
That''s what he said, but Wu Zhongtai''s tone was uncontrollable and impatient.
A thin young man in his twenties followed him, wearing rimless glasses and an army coat, with his hands in his sleeves.
He was thin and his clothes were so fat that it seemed so difficult for him to take a step.
Even if he is very young, he is like a chicken compared with Wu Zhongtai who is walking in front. If you don''t use the word "Jingfeng" on this village official, it would be more appropriate.
"Township head Wu, it''s still so called familiarity." the young man pushed his eyes with his elbow and said with a smile, "the Assistant Investigator is the deputy department, and the township head is Zhengke. Is that what you call it? I''ll call you small?"
"Don''t talk nonsense." Wu Zhongtai scolded, "hurry to see a doctor. I have to go to three rows and five groups in Lijiagou."
The young man also heard that Wu Zhongtai''s tone was not good. He shrunk his head under the collar of the military coat and sighed gently.
"Dad, here we are." Wu Mian stood outside the inpatient building to greet him. Seeing Wu Zhongtai striding over, he smiled and greeted him, "this is..."
"Li Chen, the head of banhudong village." the young man quickly introduced himself, "you are Mr. Wu Mian, the son of the head of Wu township. I have heard of it for a long time."
Wu Mian noticed that his hand shrank in his sleeve stretched out. He began to habitually stretch out his right hand, as if he had forgotten "pretending to be ill". Then his right hand retracted into his sleeve and his left hand stretched out.
"Hello." Wu Mian held Li Chen''s hand hard, and the muscle tension was normal.
"Dad, you go and be busy. I''ll take village head Li to see a doctor." Wu Mian said with a smile.
Wu Zhongtai frowned, looked at Li Chen''s back with a little disgust, and then said, "I''ll wait."
Wu Mian said, "then go to my office and know where it is. The door is unlocked. Just go in."
"I know." Wu Zhongtai said in a dull voice. He glared at Li Chen and turned to the office building.
"Village head Li, you..."
"Miss Wu, don''t call me that. I''m so sorry." Li Chen said politely, "I have a classmate who studies medicine. I talked about you once."
"Ha ha."
"A person who doesn''t want to talk at ordinary times grabbed me and talked for hours that day." Li Chen''s eyes twinkled with excitement, but Wu Mian interrupted him before he continued, "please come here."
"Teacher Wu, don''t be so polite. You are a scientist and a doctor. I admire you most." Li Chen said sincerely.
"Hehe, village head Li, is the countryside very bitter?" Wu Mian smiled and talked about his family.
"It''s OK. I wasn''t used to it when I first went. The people there were a little stingy and nagging. The young people were basically out of town. The old ladies gathered together. The parents talked for a short time, and they could fight." Li Chen said casually when he saw that Wu Mian was kind and unprepared. "When I went, everyone was very alert. They didn''t say anything, but they could see it."
"Oh? What do you do?" Wu Mian asked with a smile.
"No one is a fool. I do practical things, don''t play empty, and I can bear hardships. Gradually, the villagers recognize me." Li Chen smiled. His thin face didn''t seem to support his glasses, and he rubbed it with his arm again.
"I''ll talk about this later. Tell me what''s wrong first."
When she came to the emergency treatment room on the first floor, Wu Mian looked into Li Chen''s eyes and asked.
"It''s all right. It''s just hypocrisy," Li Chen said frankly.
Wu Mian was stunned and looked at Li Chen carefully.
"Maybe I was born without motor cells. The power of my right hand is smaller than that of my left hand." Li Chen said, "but when I was a child, my mother always beat me because I was left-handed, and gradually came over. My right hand is really inconvenient, and sometimes things will fall off when I eat."
"Oh? Has it always been like this?" Wu Mian nodded.
"I''ve been like this since I was a child. The doctor didn''t see any problem." Li chendao said, "I can''t write with a pen for about half an hour. Later, after I went to college, I recovered to be left-handed, but I can''t change it. I guess I''m used to using my right hand."
Wu Mian was silent and carefully observed Li Chen.
"My house is in the south of the sky. It''s warm. It''s still 30 degrees these days." Li Chen continued. "It''s the first time I''ve lived in such a cold place. It''s strange that once it''s cold, I don''t have any strength in my right hand, but I tried. As long as it''s warm, everything will return to normal."
Wu Mian knows that what he said is normal compared with now. It is definitely not "normal" in the eyes of normal people.
"It''s probably cold. It''s really cold in the northeast!" Li Chen stressed.
"Now?" asked Wu Mian.
"I dare not stretch out my right hand." Li chendao said, "especially outside. Although the military coat is resistant to the wind, the cold wind drills into the cuffs. I didn''t copy my hand when I shook hands with you just now, and my right hand began to lose strength again. It''s much better now."
Wu Mian smiled, "let me see."
Li Chen put his right hand out of the sleeve of his military coat.
It is estimated that he went to the hospital many times. When he saw the doctor in white, he habitually stretched out his hands together and put them flat in front of Wu Mian.
His hands looked no different and there was no serious muscle atrophy.
