Chapter 296: High five for faith

Then go directly to Professor Xiang's house. My cousin told me the address when he contacted me.

The way to Professor Xiang's house is through an alley, which is winding and winding. Only a small truck can pass through, but a double-cab car cannot enter, so it has to park at the entrance of the alley.

There was a bun shop at the entrance of the alley. Su Huaian looked at it and said, "At this time, the professor will definitely ask if he has eaten, so why not..."

Xing Yi nodded, walked to the bun shop, and bought fifteen buns.

I bought too much, and three people struggled to eat and there were only five left.

Xing Yi asked for a plastic bag from the store, filled it and handed it to Yang Linxiang: "Take it back to Xiaomei."

Yang Linxiang said: "I will carry the glutinous rice."

Director Su said, "Leave someone to look after the car."

Xing Yi looked at Yang Linxiang and said, "If you stay, not only will there be something in the car, but you also have to prevent someone from removing the rearview mirror to deflate the tires."

He carried the glutinous rice bag and said, "We may have to spend more time. You are also tired. Take this opportunity to close the car door and take a nap."

Xing Yi is in front, Su Huaian is behind, carrying it on his shoulders and still carrying it in his hand.

After walking for five or six minutes, I looked up and saw Professor Xiang's residence.

This is a dormitory converted from a factory. It has five floors. There is no stairway inside. Iron ladders are installed on the outer wall. There are two turns and 22 steps on one floor. There are eight turns and 170 six steps in total.Professor Xiang lives on the fifth and fourth floor.

The weather is better during the day, around zero degrees, no drizzle, and the iron ladder is dry. There is no chance of drizzle after dark. The maximum temperature drop can reach minus six or seven degrees, and freezing is coming, so you have to hurry up.

Xing Yi remembered that he was still talking to Professor Xiang at Moon Castle. When asked about his residence, the assistant next to him answered that it was an old house from the 20s.The professor quickly answered and said that a new house had been bought and was being renovated.Another assistant went on to say that it would have to wait three months before the decoration of the wing was completed because of the presence of formaldehyde.Professor Xiang also said that because he has lived in his old place for a long time, he is a little bit reluctant to leave it, and it is closer to his work. He just carries some vegetables and other things up and down every day as a way to exercise.

It was indeed a workout. When they came upstairs, both of them were sweating.

Knocking on the door, Professor Xiang was pleasantly surprised to see them. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to help unload the things and said, "It's such a cold day, so don't come here. Tell me how much these things are worth, I will definitely calculate them." Money for you.”

Xing Yi said: "Professor Xiang has paid so much to our county without even paying a penny, so what does it count? We only give away these local specialties and goose feathers from thousands of miles away. Please accept it from Professor Xiang and don't mention it again." .”

Ask the professor to come in and sit down.

The reason why it is so high is because it has to be moved, the walls are peeling off and the floor is cracked.

I didn't ask who else was in the professor's family before, and I couldn't ask now.

There was a small pot on the stove, with red oil and spicy soup in it, bubbling gurglingly.

Say to the professor: "I'm getting ready for dinner. Let's eat together."

Xing Yi explained: "I've already eaten, thank you Professor."

Professor Xiang was angry: "Since you come to my place, why do you still buy food on the street?"

Professor Xiang poured wine for them and set out the dishes.

Su Huaian said: "Okay, the professor is so sincere, let's drink a little wine to show our intention."

The half-hour conversation about highways and cable-stayed bridges was basically consistent with what Director Zhu Huiyuan said.Field work is being carried out intensively. The relevant work involves more than ten counties, and there are still two final counties, so it will continue.

Time passed quickly, Xing Yi and Su Huaian were leaving, saying that there was another person waiting in the car.

Professor Xiang said, "Hey, why don't we come together? It's all my fault. I didn't think of asking more. Hey, I'm really inexperienced."

Xing Yi explained: "Master Yang is really tired and wants to take a nap in the car."

Professor Xiang stopped trying to stay and said, "Thank you."

They walked out of the door, pushed Professor Xiang back to the stairs, turned around and went down the iron ladder.

At this time, it was drizzling in the sky. The upper part of the iron ladder was covered by the eaves and was not getting wet. But when it reached the lower part, it was no longer possible. The drizzle drifted onto the iron plate and soon turned into frost.

Xing Yi walked forward. The frost on the iron railings was cold and still touched his hands. He could only grab it and loosen it, and he moved his feet very carefully.It took five or six minutes to go down the four flights of stairs. Xing Yi went down to the ground first, looked back at Su Huaian, and reminded him to hold on to the railing.

Su Huaian said: "There are many such situations on construction sites, and there is no problem."

When he felt that he was there within a few steps, he let go and stood upright.At this time, I heard the siren of an ambulance in the distance. I thought that in this weather, someone would inevitably fall, especially elderly people. It would be too dangerous to go out at this time.

Thinking about other people's affairs, I relaxed instead. I stepped on the frost on my soles and slipped. I lost my center of gravity and my body started to sway. I stretched out my hand in a hurry, but couldn't catch anything. I slid down the ninth staircase. , due to inertia, it slid another three meters on the ground. Xing Yi saw that the situation was not good, so he rushed over and blocked it.

Su Huaian's body bones were hit by cold steel in many places. The most serious thing was that he was hit on the back of his head, and he fainted immediately.

When he woke up, he had been admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of the Provincial Medical College. The examination results showed that two ribs were fractured and needed surgical bandaging and fixation. There was a laceration on the skull and bleeding. The doctor said that luckily it was broken. If it had not been broken, the blood stasis would have been there. Inside, the problem became serious. The wound was cleaned, local anesthesia was applied, and seven stitches were needed.

The next afternoon, Su Huaian sat up and ate a bowl of wontons.Xing Yi and Yang Linxiang ordered lunch boxes to eat.

Su Huaian reflected on himself: "I didn't listen to Teacher Xing's reminder. I went down to the last level and nothing happened. I was negligent and didn't take Teacher Xing's reminder to heart. The lesson was terrible enough."

Xing Yi said: "Director Su works often and has strong body resistance. The operation went smoothly and successfully, and the recovery was quick."

Yang Linxiang said: "It's time to call home to report that everything is safe."

Su Huaian said: "No need to call, just observe for two days and go back tomorrow afternoon."

Xing Yi said: "How is this possible? It will take a hundred days to break the muscles and bones."

Su Huaian said: "One hundred days of injury refers to the entire process of treatment and recuperation, not the time of hospitalization. Generally, for such a trauma, you should be discharged from the hospital in two or three days and go back to rest and recuperate."

Xing Yi said: "Don't talk about this yet. You can tell your cousin today."

"If you tell him, he will babble. If you let Director Zhu and Professor Xiang know about it, they will be anxious. No need."

Xing Yi said: "It's impossible not to say it. My family will have to call and ask. Since the operation has been performed and there is no danger, I must tell my family in time so that they will not be anxious."

"Okay, let's tell my family and my cousin."

My cousin received the call and rushed over quickly.Seeing that the situation was improving, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Have Director Zhu told the professors and others?"

Su Huaian shook his head: "I don't have a big problem here. It's just a minor injury and I'll recover in a few days. Don't disturb them."

When his cousin left, Xing Yi walked him to the door.He whispered to Xing Yi that Director Zhu and Professor Xiang had been notified of the matter.

"You made a special trip to deliver things to them. If you didn't go to their house or walk up the frozen stairs, would something like this happen? They really should come to visit."

Xing Yi asked: "When did you tell them?"

The cousin said: "On the way to the hospital."

"Then they might come tomorrow."

"If you can't come tomorrow, it might be the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow."

"Are they all in trouble?"

"They all went to the county again."

"That's good. Director Su's situation will be better one day later."

My cousin was right. On the third day, Director Zhu and Professor Xiang made an appointment, bought fruits and nutritional supplements, and went to the hospital together.

But the doctor told them that the patient had been transferred back to the county.

Xiang Professor said: "How can we transfer him to another hospital?"

The doctor said: "It won't work if I don't transfer the patient. I asked repeatedly and asked the shift director and then the dean in charge."

Director Zhu asked: "Are there any problems on the way to the hospital?"

"They were prepared. They tied a hammock to the car and made sure to drive slowly along the way."

After saying goodbye to the doctor, the two stood at the door of the hospital and talked.

"It's rare for people like this to work so hard for their jobs."

"Hey, aren't we all like this?"

"Everyone at the top and bottom is doing this, why are you worried about not developing quickly?"

"We have to do something for them."

"You spoke to my heart."

“What we can do is win policy support for them and give them the opportunity to participate in the project.”

"I vote in favor."

"Then let's start from our own angles?"

"Okay, let's high-five!"
