Chapter 1037: Benefits in the Present and in the Future
"Director Shen, why are you in such a hurry to leave? I heard that you traveled for several hours to get to Dongshan. There are a lot of seafood here. At least try some of the seafood specialties here before going back!"
At the gate of Dongshan County Government, Li Xiangnan held Shen Yujing's hand with a smile on his face, his face full of regret.
"Yes, Yujing, take a break! Look, Director Liu and Director Fang are all preparing to take a break, so don't be so anxious!" Lin Jianzhou also advised.
"President Li, Minister Lin, no thanks. I have to go to work tomorrow morning!" Shen Yujing smiled his signature smile and shook his head. He then greeted Director Lin Jianzhou, Director Fang and Liu, as well as the county's leadership team, who were standing in front of the car. He quickly got into the car, waving his hands and kicking the back of the chair to urge the driver to drive quickly.
"Director, why are we in such a hurry to go back? You must be tired too..." The driver really didn't understand.
Shen Yujing puffed up his cheeks, looked out the window at the county government gradually retreating, and said coldly: "Let's go to Jingang and find a guesthouse to rest for a night!"
"Okay!" The driver then stepped on the accelerator excitedly.
However, Shen Yujing turned around and glanced at Li Xiangnan, who was standing on the side of the road with a calm expression, her eyes full of disgust.
I had originally wanted to take this opportunity to suppress that kid's arrogance, but I never expected that I would actually help him do something good!
Next time...if it comes to matters related to the Ministry of Health, I would rather die than get involved!
Otherwise this guy must be here!
……
"Xiangnan! I'm sorry to have kept you here until now. Haven't you eaten yet?" After the car drove away, Lin Jianzhou patted Li Xiangnan on the shoulder and said apologetically.
"It's okay, Uncle Lin! This isn't a waste of time! Those two defibrillators... are worth it!"
Li Xiangnan smiled.
At this moment, I was really happy in my heart.
Although the Dongshan County's epidemic prevention and control journey was very tortuous and many stories happened, the epidemic was finally brought under control and people's diseases were treated.
The most important thing is that, just as Lin Jianzhou said, it was a blessing in disguise as we got two automatic external defibrillators here.
Lin Jianzhou has agreed to bring these two instruments back to Yenching and hand them over to the relevant departments of Yenching University for research!
Although this thing is small, its value is huge, even far exceeding the impact brought by solving the epidemic.
It would be a lie if Li Xiangnan said he wasn't excited.
Following Lin Jianzhou, Wang Defa and Lei Jin walked into the cafeteria of the government compound. Unexpectedly, the team I brought with me for this epidemic, the doctors supported by Jingang City, and some doctors and nurses from the People's Hospital were all here.
Wow!
When Li Xiangnan and others walked into the cafeteria, there was thunderous applause and everyone stood up.
They expressed their highest enthusiasm and respect to Li Xiangnan and gave him applause of recognition.
Following Lin Jianzhou to the main table, Li Xiangnan did not hesitate to smile and greeted everyone frequently.
Guard Wu stood next to the main table and invited him and Lin Jianzhou to sit down. Then he put his hands down and signaled to the audience.
"Everyone!"
The applause suddenly died down.
"This is the latest dinner in the Dongshan County Government Canteen!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
"But this is also the earliest breakfast in the Dongshan County Government cafeteria!"
In other words, the meaning was completely different, and many people were instantly excited.
"As the secretary of Dongshan County, I am honored to participate in this battle against the epidemic with all the outstanding medical staff to protect Dongshan and safeguard the peace of Dongshan together!"
"As a local official, I am ashamed that I have failed to protect the people of Dongshan and its peace!"
"I am honored to be a volunteer for this epidemic prevention and control! I am fortunate to be with all the excellent medical staff and witness how we defeated the terrible virus, and how Dongshan went from panic at the beginning to stability, from being at a loss to full of confidence!"
"It is because of the efforts of each of you that Dongshan sees hope and comes back to life!"
"And I, most of all, want to thank one of your comrades!"
Guard Wu patted Li Xiangnan on the shoulder and said with a fierce look: "It's him! Comrade Li Xiangnan!"
"Why did Dongshan County encounter a once-in-a-century crisis this time! I believe everyone knows the reason! It is precisely because of Comrade Li Xiangnan's calm and wise overall planning, calm and composed response to the crisis, and bold and fearless spirit of sacrifice that Dongshan has the opportunity to make a comeback!"
"I, Wu Weibing, on behalf of the Dongshan County Government and the 4 people of Dongshan County, would like to thank Li Xiangnan and all of you for your efforts! Thank you!"
Having said that, Guard Wu bowed deeply towards Li Xiangnan and the medical staff around him.
Afterwards, all the leading groups of Dongshan County also stood up and bowed to everyone.
Wow!
For a moment, the applause was thunderous again.
After saying these words, Wu Weibing was also very emotional. He suppressed his sobs several times and forced a smile, saying, "Comrade Li Xiangnan, Minister Lin, you...eat and drink well! I'm sorry for bringing everyone to Dongshan. It's been such a long time since we had the chance to taste the local specialties. Let's eat to our heart's content today!"
"Hahaha!" There was laughter from the audience below the stage. With the sound of chopsticks, the whole cafeteria soon became completely noisy.
After a week, Dongshan County finally came back to life from its silence.
The next morning, the Yanjing support team left the necessary medicines in Dongshan and loaded some support equipment into the truck and took them back to Yanjing.
"Get in the car!"
He let several female comrades sit in his jeep, and Lin Jianzhou, with his daughter Lin Muyu, climbed into the back of the truck with Li Xiangnan.
"Dad, are you okay? The ground is a bit hard, I'll get a blanket for you to use as a cushion..." Lin Muyu was searching for a blanket in his backpack.
"Hey, it's not that complicated!" Lin Jianzhou laughed and shouted to his second son, "Wei Min, let the master drive!"
"okay!"
Lin Weimin patted the carriage, and soon the truck began to shake.
After saying this, Lin Jianzhou smiled and sat on the ground with Li Xiangnan, his attitude sincere and humble, "Xiao Li, if the structure and principle of this AED are successfully analyzed by the professors of Yenching University, can we follow the localization path of the previous CT machine and build a defibrillator production line?"
It’s simple to chat with smart and well-informed people.
Apparently, Lin Jianzhou had thought a lot about the future development of AED last night. Li Xiangnan smiled and answered honestly, "Under normal circumstances, this can indeed be done! Realizing localization as soon as possible will also benefit the people of our country! This is a good thing that will benefit the present and future generations!"
"After we get back, I'd like to trouble you to pay more attention to the progress of this matter..."
Lin Jianzhou nodded thoughtfully.
At this moment, the truck suddenly stopped and his voice stopped abruptly.
He looked at Li Xiangnan in confusion and found that everyone's eyes were involuntarily looking outside the truck.
A tide of people suddenly emerged from behind the convoy, with blue shirts, flowery skirts and school uniform trouser legs fluttering in the morning breeze.
The one running in front was actually a silver-haired old lady, holding three silver lunch boxes with great effort. On the lunch boxes were three big red enamel pots stacked together: "This is lotus root and pork bone soup for the kids. It has been simmered in the casserole all night..."
Before he finished speaking, an old man from the Shipping Bureau dormitory came up to him and shook out a dozen oil-paper bags from his army green satchel: "We made sausages for the New Year, but no one at home eats them, so you all take them with you..."
The girls in floral dresses took out green balls of wormwood from their canvas bags like magic and poured them all into the bamboo dustpans without stinginess. They immediately rolled into large emerald beads. On top lay a few cans of yellow peaches with a crooked red note saying "Thank you, the cutest person" on them.
A teenage boy in school uniform tiptoed to put a sketchbook into the truck pocket. On the page he turned, he wrote in childish handwriting: "Thank you, uncles and aunts in space suits. When I grow up, I want to be a doctor like you."
When the truck started, the rearview mirror reflected the spring scenery stretching for hundreds of meters.
Lin Jianzhou's Adam's apple rolled a little, and his rough fingertips stroked a certificate with childish handwriting in his hand. It read: Honorary Citizen of Dongshan, you are welcome to come home anytime.
Suddenly, a warm and moist feeling dripped onto the back of my hand, and I couldn't tell whether it was morning mist or tears.
The road ahead stretched straight to the sky, and the newly planted crape myrtle trees beside the road were shaking off their petals, like stars scattered along the way.
