Chapter 155 Ye Nuan's Patient
Although Hao Dahai was allocated a house, due to his rank and the housing shortage, the house he was allocated was not as big as Gu Hanchuan's.
Hao Dahai was assigned a suite.
It's a suite with only one door. There's a room right inside, and further in, there's another small room connected to it.
Moreover, the courtyard is shared.
The three suites share a courtyard, a shared kitchen, and a shared toilet. However, the toilets are separated for men and women and are flush toilets, so there is no smell in the courtyard and it is very clean.
Hao Dahai was assigned a suite on the east side, which was better. After moving in, he built a small shed against the wall under the window to store some odds and ends. In this way, it was like having more usable space than the suite in the middle.
According to unwritten rules, the piece of land in front of someone's house belongs to that person.
The gate to this courtyard is on the west side, so the two common rooms are both located at the foot of the south wall. This allows Hao Dahai to grow some vegetables in the open space in front of his house, and he can also build trellises along the wall to grow vegetables such as loofah and snake gourd.
In short, Hao Dahai was very satisfied.
Although it's not a detached house with a courtyard, I'm already very happy to be able to live in a house like this.
Compared to the dormitory they used to live in, this place is much bigger, and the children can have their own rooms. He and his wife can also spend more time together at night and have another baby.
In fact, very few people would go to the trouble of having a living room at home like Gu Hanchuan and Ye Nuan.
Take Zheng Fujia's house, for example. What looks like a living room is actually a folding bed set up at night for the children to sleep on.
These days, there are far too many children who don't have their own sleeping rooms.
Ye Nuan and Xiang Lan came together, each carrying a basket. Xiang Lan brought some wheat flour and cornmeal, and Ye Nuan did the same, but she brought some soybeans, which Gao Erya could use to grind soybeans for the children or make tofu.
Tofu is quite filling, which is why it has always been a favorite food for women in many families.
The two didn't bring meat, mainly because it would be too conspicuous, and besides, everyone is having a hard time these days, so Gao Erya was already very happy that they could bring as much food as possible.
After putting the things away, Ye Nuan took on the task of picking vegetables, moved a small stool, and sat in the yard.
The sun is shining brightly today, and it feels warm and cozy on my skin.
Besides picking some green vegetables, Ye Nuan also had to peel garlic and scallions, which were simple tasks. Xiang Lan, on the other hand, helped cut meat and knead dough in the kitchen.
Gao Erya directed her daughter to start a fire, while she carried a basin of hot water to the yard to kill fish.
The fish here are cheap and don't require tickets, so Gao Erya prepared three fish.
She was thinking of steaming two fish and stewing a larger one with some tofu in it; that would be delicious!
Ye Nuan had no intention of showing off her skills in front of others, after all, this was someone else's housewarming party.
At noon, the men sat at one table, while the women sat at a small table set up in the inner room. This way, two people could sit on the bed, and with a few more stools, it would be enough, and it wouldn't be too crowded.
The children eat very quickly and their bellies get full very fast.
The men haven't even had their main course yet, but the children here have already eaten and are ready to go out and play.
With only the adults left, they ate and chatted, which made the atmosphere even better.
Gao Erya felt grateful to Gu Hanchuan and Ye Nuan. If Ye Nuan hadn't prevented Hao Dahai's leg from suffering any lasting damage, he might have had to be discharged from the army. At his level, the higher-ups wouldn't have arranged any good jobs for him; at best, he would have been sent back to the village to be a local cadre.
Moreover, the whole family would have to go back to digging for food in the soil.
Now, not only has her leg been healed, but she's also been promoted and has a big house to live in. Gao Erya couldn't be happier.
In the entire compound, there were actually only a few detached houses like the ones Zheng Fu and Gu Hanchuan were allocated, since not many people were qualified to be allocated such good houses.
Most of them are houses like Hao Dahai's.
Even so, countless people are envious.
Don't assume that because there are few people eligible to accompany the military, the housing is sufficient. In reality, there are many cadres in the logistics department, plus cultural troupes and other related units, so the housing is far from enough.
Since they didn't need to return to the barracks in the afternoon, everyone drank quite a bit. Gu Hanchuan's eyes were also a little unfocused, and he was walking a bit shakily, so it seemed he had also drunk quite a bit.
Back home, Ye Nuan helped him to bed, covered him with a blanket, and then lit the fireplace.
Ye Nuan poured Gu Hanchuan a bowl of honey water. This stuff helps with hangovers, and if you drink it and then take a nap, you won't have a headache when you wake up.
Gu Hanchuan drank the entire bottle in one gulp from Ye Nuan's hand, then fell asleep immediately.
On a rare sunny day, Ye Nuan sat on the sofa indoors wearing only a thin sweater, reading a book and occasionally taking notes in her notebook.
Leisurely time always flies by.
Ye Nuan is currently personally responsible for three patients: Zhang Shiqing, Han Zhuangzhuang, and Ding Dawang.
Han Zhuangzhuang is doing a little better now. He goes to the hospital about once a week. Ye Nuan will prescribe some medicine for him and then give him acupuncture.
Although it cannot be confirmed that Han Zhuangzhuang is cured, his condition is clearly improving. First of all, his attention is much better than before, and his complexion is also different. This makes Jiang Hongying feel that her grandson can definitely be cured.
Ding Dawang's situation is a bit more complicated. He is being discharged from the hospital today, but he still cannot see anything. If we ask the lame Lao Liu to take care of him, it might be difficult.
Because the lame old man also had to work, and he himself had no experience in taking care of children.
As for Zhang Dazhu and Liu Xiangwen, they have already taken their child back to their hometown.
The way they left was not honorable.
Originally, they were supposed to continue to be responsible for Ding Dawang's medical expenses and subsequent compensation.
However, considering that the military was severing ties with Li Xiangwen and that Ding Dawang would have no further connection with her, they simply wrote everything into the severance agreement. They stated that the total of five hundred yuan was a one-time payment from Ding Dawang to Li Xiangwen for her old age, and therefore she could no longer rely on Ding Dawang for her care.
It was Ye Nuan who reminded Gu Hanchuan to add this.
We can't let them get away with it just because Li Xiangwen is throwing a tantrum.
Someone has to be held responsible for the suffering that Ding Dawang endured.
Moreover, Ye Nuan knew that relevant laws would be enacted in the future, so this time she made it clear that it was not that Ding Dawang was not supporting the elderly, but that Ding Dawang had already paid off the debt in a lump sum when she was young.
