Chapter 46 Chapter Eleven (4)
Zhou Xiaobai came to the door of the operating room impatiently. She saw the comrades in Yuan Jun's company standing quietly in the corridor, silently looking at the door of the operating room.
The door of the operating room opened, a nurse came out, and the soldiers gathered around to inquire.
The nurse shouted: "The spare plasma is used up. The wounded have lost too much blood and need blood transfusion urgently. Who has type O blood? Please follow me."
Zhou Xiaobai blurted out, "I have blood type O."
The second squad leader, Duan Tiezhu, also raised his hand: "I also have type O blood."
The nurse asked loudly, "Just these two? Are there any more?"
The soldiers looked at each other and shook their heads anxiously.
Instructor Wu Yunguo stomped his feet anxiously: "Hurry up, drive back to the regiment and bring all the people with blood type O."
A soldier ran away quickly.
The nurse said helplessly: "Two people are too few, please help first."
Lying on the bed in the blood collection room, Zhou Xiaobai watched as the thick needle pierced his blood vessel, and the bright red blood was drawn into the needle tube...
A nurse in the operating room pushed the door anxiously and came in: "Hurry up, the wounded's blood pressure is almost undetectable, hurry up..."
Zhou Xiaobai asked, "Xiao Zhang, is the 400 CC blood enough?"
"It's far away, and we have to find a way. The dean has already sent someone to the local hospital for help, and I'm afraid it will be too late."
Zhou Xiaobai asked Duan Tiezhu again: "Second squad leader, are you okay?"
Duan Tiezhu replied bluntly: "No problem, give me another 400 CC."
Zhou Xiaobai stretched out his arm again: "Quick, give me another four hundred."
Xiao Zhang opened his eyes wide and said, "Xiaobai, are you desperate? It would be dangerous to draw 600 cc of blood at once."
"It's okay, smoke it quickly, I can't die."
Duan Tiezhu, the leader of the second squad, couldn't bear it. He hesitated and said to Zhou Xiaobai: "Or, I'll be all smoked, and I'll be able to withstand the 800 smokes."
"Draw another 800? How could you figure it out? Add the 200 just now, that's 1,000 CCs, and you'll have to kill someone."
Nurse Xiao Zhang didn't dare to do it: "Xiaobai, I can't do this, I have to ask for instructions."
Zhou Xiaobai stomped his feet and shouted: "Hurry up, the wounded man is dying, you are going to delay his life, hurry up..."
Xiao Zhang made up his mind, gritted his teeth and plunged the needle into Zhou Xiaobai's blood vessel again... Another 400 cc of blood was drawn into the blood collection bottle, and the blood collection bottle was gradually full.
Zhou Xiaobai felt dizzy for a while, and the surrounding scenery gradually turned and blurred...
Outside the window, a truck full of soldiers was parked in front of the main building, and the soldiers who donated blood jumped out of the truck one after another.
Zhou Xiaobai's vision became even more blurred...
At this time, in the educated youth spot of Shichuan Village in northern Shaanxi, Zheng Tong was sitting under a tree reading a book. Now that it is slack, he has a lot of time to read.
There is not a lot of farm work in the village, because there is a habit of relying on the sky for food. As long as the seeds are planted, the villagers will not care. If there is a lot of rain this year, they will be able to harvest in autumn. As for how to increase the yield of crops The villagers are too lazy to think about it, and it is useless to think about it. They have no money to buy fertilizers, and they can't turn the loess slope into irrigated land.
When Jiang Biyun came out of the cave, she found Zheng Tong reading, so she greeted her: "Zheng Tong, are you still reading?"
Zheng Tong raised his head and said: "I finished reading it a long time ago, and now I am watching "Ming Tong Jian". I find Ming History very interesting and not boring at all."
Jiang Biyun said: "I found that since Zhong Yuemin left, you seem to be a different person, and you spend all your spare time on reading. I don't understand. When did you start to learn well?"
Zheng Tong showed a rare seriousness: "You don't know, I was depressed for a long time after Zhong Yuemin left. Later, I discovered that I really like reading, and reading has become a need of life."
"Have you thought about going to college in the future?"
"Think about it, but it's useless to think about it. The current system of recommending workers, peasants, and soldiers to college actually pushes out all those who have no connections, and those who have connections are often recommended. I really don't know what it is This method that people came up with is unique in the whole world."
Jiang Biyun urged: "I think we still have to think of a way. Opportunities will never fall from the sky. We all need to try."
"You want to go to college too?"
"Who doesn't want to? This is probably our only chance, otherwise we will stay here forever, Zheng Tong, from today on, let's study together, okay?"
But Zheng Tong refused straight away: No, I won't study with you.
Jiang Biyun was surprised: "Why?"
Zheng Tong gave a smirk: "I'm afraid of being tempted. You are always dangling in front of my eyes. I will inevitably be distracted. When the time comes, my studies will be delayed and I will make mistakes."
Jiang Biyun smiled and said, "Look, your hooligan nature is revealed again. You have only learned it for a few days, and you have made old mistakes again."
"Then can I make a suggestion?"
"Tell me first."
Zheng Tong regained his energy. He closed the book, moved the bench and approached Jiang Biyun, and said, "It's too monotonous to just study with a partner. Why don't we have an all-round partner and spend our days together, how about it?"
"You mean to study together, eat together, and what else?"
"This is too superficial. Our cooperation can be deeper and wider. Life seems to be more than just studying and eating, right?"
Jiang Biyun said calmly: "You don't need to inspire my intelligence anymore, just say it clearly. Is there any more specific cooperation?"
"Isn't there an abandoned cave dwelling at the east end of the village? Let's tidy it up, you and I move in, how about experiencing the life of men farming and women weaving?"
Jiang Biyun said kindly: "You have been around for a long time, and finally you have spoken your mind. This idea is quite good. It is very warm to look forward to. Zheng Tong, you are an imaginative guy, and you even have a bit of poetic romance. You Want to hear my take on this suggestion? Come and I'll tell you."
Zheng Tong moved his head closer, Jiang Biyun slapped Zheng Tong on the face, turned and left.
Zheng Tong covered his face and was startled.
In a coma, Yuan Jun was lying on a bed in the intensive care unit covered in bandages.Luo Yun and Zhou Xiaobai sat on the side and looked at Yuan Jun. Zhou Xiaobai's face was pale and weak.
Luo Yun said in a low voice: "Doctor Zhang said that Yuan Jun's life is saved, but whether he will be disabled depends on his recovery."
Zhou Xiaobai's voice was very weak: "Luo Yun, if he becomes disabled, will you still be with him? Are you mentally prepared for this?"
Luo Yun whispered, "No, I can only take one step at a time."
"Then it's time for you to think about it, but no matter what your future holds, you should take good care of him while he's recuperating."
Luo Yun looked at Zhou Xiaobai and said hesitantly: "Xiaobai, I was just about to discuss with you. I have just solved the problem of joining the party, but there is still a one-year preparatory period. During this period, there must be no problems at all, otherwise when I become a regular There will be trouble."
"What do you mean?"
"I can't let others know about my relationship with Yuan Jun, can you help me?"
Zhou Xiaobai asked in surprise: "You mean to let me take care of him instead of you, and you want to act like a normal friend?"
Luo Yun blushed: "I can't come here often, others will suspect it."
"But if I take care of him, others will also doubt me. Have you considered this?"
"Of course I have considered it, but compared with me, you have many advantages. With your father's status in the army, your future is always guaranteed. Anyway, it’s the same, you don’t need to worry about joining the party, being promoted, and being recommended to go to college, but my situation is different. Everything has to be done by yourself, because my father is only a teacher-level cadre. There are a lot of them in the army."
"Luo Yun, you are really considerate. I only discovered this after knowing you for so many years. What can I say about you... Well, I promise you, I will often come to take care of him."
"Thank you, I knew you would help me."
"However, Yuan Jun won't see you after waking up. What will he think? He needs you most now."
Luo Yun said, "You explain it to him. He will understand."
Zhou Xiaobai stood up: "I can help you, but I don't like your way of dealing with the world, making you sneaky, you, you want to occupy everything, and you don't want to give up everything, hmph, what can I say about you. "
"Okay, okay, my lady, you have already promised, why bother to say these things? You are just like this, good things have been done and are not yet done."
Zhou Xiaobai suddenly shouted in surprise, "Luo Yun, he's awake."
Yuan Jun opened his eyes and was looking at the ceiling, as if thinking about where this is.
Luo Yun touched his face and said, "Yuan Jun, thank God, you finally woke up, you have been in a coma for three days and three nights."
Zhou Xiaobai tucked the quilt to Yuan Jun and said softly: "Yuan Jun, Luo Yun's application for joining the party has just been passed, and now it is the probationary period, it is inconvenient for her to come and take care of you often, so I will take care of you in the future, okay?"
Yuan Jun was noncommittal, and closed his eyes tiredly.
Secretary Chang Gui sat cross-legged on the kang, thinking about something with a cigarette pouch in his mouth.
Zheng Tong's voice came from outside: "Is Secretary Chang at home?" Zheng Tong came in with a bag.
Chang Gui seemed very enthusiastic: "Zheng Tong, come, sit on the kang, have you eaten?"
"Eat, are you resting?"
Chang Gui asked, "Is there something wrong? You educated youths, you don't come to me if you have nothing to do."
"Secretary Chang, from what you said, I'll be fine today, didn't I come to see you too?"
"If you have something to say, just talk about it, don't talk nonsense with me, I don't know you yet, you are the one who has a lot of money in the educated youth."
Zheng Tong opened the bag, took out two bottles of "Erguotou" wine and a pack of "Daqianmen" cigarettes, put them on the kang table, and said nonsense: "This is just sent from my family. This "Erguotou" wine is a famous wine. There are eight major brands in China. Famous wines include "Xifeng" from Shaanxi, and "Erguotou" from Beijing. You can't buy this kind of wine in Beijing. You have to have a relationship. Secretary Chang, try it."
Chang Gui squinted at Zheng Tong, and began to think about it. Since Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong threatened him last time, Chang Gui found that these two boys were the ones who were bad among the educated youths, especially Zhong Yuemin, who was so bad. Son, as soon as the eyeballs turn, bad ideas follow up. After Zhong Yuemin left, Chang Gui's heart fell to the ground, and there was only one Zheng Tong left. Forgive him, he can't make big waves. He said hotly: "Well, you have something to do with me, why don't you give me famous wine for no reason? Tell me, what are you doing?"
Zheng Tong said straight to the point: "Secretary, you are going straight. I wanted to go around for a while. Since you are so happy, then I will say it clearly. Secretary Chang, I want to go to college. I hope you can help."
Chang Gui didn't realize it for a while: "What are you doing in college?"
"Learn something."
Chang Gui knocked on his cigarette bag and said, "I think you have enough knowledge. Didn't you come to northern Shaanxi to farm the land, and the land is not doing well? I think it's all about knowledge. Where did you go to learn?"
Zheng Tong was anxious: "Hey, I can't tell you clearly, anyway, I want to go to school, you have to recommend me to the commune."
"What did I say to the commune?"
"After I went to the countryside, I tried my best to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants, actively transformed my outlook on the world, worked hard, endured hardships and stood hard work, led the villagers to carry out production to help themselves when food ran out, did not reach out to the country, and even held literacy classes in the village. Helping poor and lower-middle peasants to eradicate illiteracy..."
Chang Gui snorted, "Why didn't I know that you performed so well? You also led the villagers to save themselves in production? You have done all the good things, so why am I doing this book?"
Zheng Tong enlightened: "Then you can add one in front. Under the leadership of the village party branch, I said branch secretary. This is not a meritorious service award ceremony. I am afraid that I will steal your merit. This is going to school."
Chang Gui muttered: "Anyway, it's a good thing, why don't you come to me with a drink?"
"Hey, why can't you understand? Let me tell you this, if I go to school, it will not cause any harm to you or the village. On the contrary, it will be beneficial. You just need to recommend me to the commune."
"I have to think about this matter carefully. You kid has too many tricks, thirty-six minds, and seventy-two axes. Going around is afraid that you will get me involved."
Zheng Tong patiently helped Chang Gui analyze: "You still don't understand such a simple matter? Let's do the math. Isn't our village more populated and less landed? There were originally 417 people, plus ten of us The educated youths now have a population of 427. Zhong Yuemin has left, and now there are 426 people, right? But has the food production increased? No, that is to say, the original 417 people The rations are now eaten by four hundred and twenty-six people. With this calculation, the problem arises. This means that we educated youths have robbed you of your rations. You can’t eat enough, and our conscience is also disturbed. What should we do? , trying to kick out the educated youths, kicking out one is one, so, first kick me and Jiang Biyun out to go to college, so that you can save hundreds of catties of food every year, and when you have the opportunity, such as recruiting workers or something, you can kick them out again. Cao Gang and the others kicked them out, anyway, every time you take away one, you can save hundreds of catties of food, you can always settle this account, right?"
Chang Gui lowered his head and thought for a while, agreeing: "That's true."
"Secretary, you finally figured it out, then this wine..."
"You can put it there, I will mention it to you next time I go to the club for a meeting."
"Thank you Chang Zhishu."
Yuan Jun was lying on the bed in the intensive care unit, his body was covered with bandages, and the nurse was feeding him with a spoon.
Zhou Xiaobai came in with some fruits and food, and she said to Xiaoyu: "Youngyu, you rest for a while, I'll feed him."
Yu Yu said: "Xiaobai, let me do it. Director Zhang of the Political Department asked me yesterday, what is the relationship between Zhou Xiaobai and the wounded?"
"He likes to ask or not, I'm not afraid, just give me the spoon." Zhou Xiaobai took the spoon and continued to feed Yuan Jun.
Yuan Jun whispered apologetically, "Xiaobai, don't come, this is enough to bother you, and it would be even worse if you caused any misunderstandings."
Zhou Xiaobai said angrily: "Yuan Jun, shut up, you can eat when I feed you, don't annoy me."
Yuan Jun's temper also came up: "You still annoy me, who asked you to come? Did I invite you?"
Zhou Xiaobai said loudly: "Are you still bored? Am I pretending to be affectionate? I am rushing to serve you? If not... forget it, don't talk, just open your mouth."
Yuan Jun closed his eyes and refused to eat.
Zhou Xiaobai said angrily: "Yuan Jun, are you still motivated? Do you want to eat? If you dare to say no, I will put the bowl on your face."
Yuan Jun said to the nurse: "Yu Yu, please go out for a while, I have something to say with Zhou Xiaobai, I'm sorry."
Yu Yu nodded and walked out the door.
Yuan Jun sighed and said, "Xiaobai, do you have to change your temper? No wonder Zhong Yuemin..."
Zhou Xiaobai jumped up immediately: "What's wrong with Zhong Yuemin? You don't mention him, don't ask me to scold you."
Yuan Jun smiled wryly: "If you are upset, you can scold me a few words if you want, as long as you can feel better."
Zhou Xiaobai fell silent.
Yuan Jun said: "Actually, I know you didn't come after me. You are angry with Zhong Yuemin, right? Why are you bothering? You haven't been together for a long time, and you haven't made any promises to each other. The matter has passed. , don't think about it any more."
Zhou Xiaobai whispered: "I'm sorry, Yuan Jun, I shouldn't get angry with you, I apologize to you, you don't know, I feel very... sad..." Zhou Xiaobai burst into tears: "I tried, I wanted to forget him completely, but I can not do it."
Yuan Jun looked at him sympathetically: "This is not like you. In my eyes, you are an arrogant person. You have to grit your teeth and cheer up."
Zhou Xiaobai raised his head with tears in his eyes and said, "Yuan Jun, you are Zhong Yuemin's friend, you know him well, tell me, is our relationship really over?"
Yuan Jun sighed deeply and did not speak.
Director Chen of the political department of the hospital was sitting at his desk looking through documents, Luo Yun walked in and saluted, "Director Chen, are you looking for me?"
Director Chen took off his glasses and said, "Oh, Ronaldinho, why don't you sit down."
Luo Yun sat down properly.
Director Chen said: "Xiao Luo, you have done a good job. You are the first to join the party. You have a bright future."
"Director Chen, I thank the organization for training me and your help and education for me."
"The main reason is that you performed well. The performance of everyone in the organization has always been clear, and your achievements will never be buried. By the way, deputy political commissar Shao in the army is your father's old comrade-in-arms, right?"
Luo Yun lowered her head and said, "Yes, Deputy Political Commissar Shao and my father worked in the same regiment. That was when Jinzhou was fought, and I was not born at that time."
Director Chen said: "Deputy Political Commissar Shao greeted me and asked me to care about you more politically and train you. Deputy Political Commissar Shao is my old superior. I will do everything he told me to do. The problem is that our hospital There are too many cadres and children, so we should be cautious about some things, lest others gossip."
"Don't worry, I understand."
Director Chen said embarrassingly: "This year, our hospital has only one quota for recommended workers, peasants and soldiers. The competition is very fierce. There are people from the army, the military region, and even the headquarters in Beijing. There are no outsiders here. Let me tell you clearly, Zhou Xiaobai from the Department of Internal Medicine is your main competitor."
"But... Zhou Xiaobai hasn't even solved the problem of joining the party. If I recommend her based on my performance, I should be more qualified than her."
"But do you know her father's position in the army? Not to mention the chief of our army, even the current chief of the military region has several of her father's subordinates."
Luo Yun stood up nervously: "Director Chen, the opportunity to go to college this time is very important to me. Zhou Xiaobai will have many opportunities in the future, but I only have this one time. I heard that Deputy Political Commissar Shao is about to retire. I will not have it once he leaves." Any chance, please help me."
Director Chen said: "Recently, someone reported that Zhou Xiaobai had a special relationship with a wounded person who was hospitalized. Do you know about this?"
"I...know, that's Yuan Jun from the tank regiment. They had a good relationship before they joined the army."
"Are they dating?"
"I don't know, anyway, I know that Zhou Xiaobai goes to take care of Yuan Jun every day."
Director Chen said dissatisfiedly: "There is a problem here. Seriously wounded people have special care. Why does she have to go every day? I'm afraid this is not a normal relationship?"
Luo Yun whispered, "Director Chen, I don't know about her."
Director Chen said: "Soldiers are not allowed to fall in love during their service. This is clearly stipulated by the army. As the child of a leading cadre, Zhou Xiaobai should lead by example instead of being special. I still need to investigate her problem."
Luo Yun said, "Director Chen, can I go?"
"Okay, do it well, Xiao Luo, you are very hopeful. Be careful during this time, and don't make any problems."
"Yes, Director Chen, I remember."
