Chapter 3 Justified the name

In the afternoon of the same day, a report from the relevant departments in Iraq was reported to China through the secret channel.

It didn't take long for Comrade Huang to get the most formal endorsement of the domestic policy: the comrades concerned were allowed to receive personal souvenirs of friendship from the other side's prospective president, as long as they did not charge large amounts of cash, luxury goods, vehicles, ships, and precious metals.

For the Assyrian, Lydian and Gudinar gold coins that were specifically requested, the reply letter was also specific and clear: it was requested to be converted according to the same weight of gold.

If the weight exceeds the standard, the comrades concerned shall, if the economic conditions permit, hand over to the state treasury in accordance with the international gold price in the corresponding foreign exchange. At the same time, all subsequent disposition rights are fully owned by the parties.

If the person concerned cannot afford to pay, the excess part shall be handed over to the state treasury in kind after returning home.

As for other things that are not gold, I don't even bother to count the reply, as long as it is a handicraft souvenir, it is allowed to be accepted.

Anyway, at that time, the domestic cultural relics were also sold to create foreign exchange.

And this is definitely not fate that favors Gu Biao and gives him a hanging. Because in the 80s of history, there were indeed foreign affairs personnel stationed in Iran who legally received gold coins from the Sassanid period, and even if it was found that this kind of gold coin was very valuable a few years later, and less than 10 pieces survived in the world, it was indeed sold back to the country where the cultural relics were originally located to make a lot of money. However, the state did not pursue it, but insisted on adhering to the attitude of strict recognition for the sake of the seriousness of the policy.

Anything that is typical of new things and has been hammered by policy is the safest. Even if the policy changes in the future, it will not be moved to the model case that was the basis for the original policy.

After confirming it, Comrade Huang immediately conveyed the document to Director Bao.

In the evening of the same day, General Hussein's attendants sent a few jewelry boxes of gifts to Gu Biao. Gu Biao received the notice and could only accept it according to the law.

"Is this really good? I heard that this kind of ancient gold coins from the Assyrian Empire are more than 2,000 years old, right?

"It's really not much, General Hussein still has 3 in his hand, and there won't be many surviving in the world. The general's attendant explained very politely, but not without pride.

Gu Biao: "Then you Iraq, don't you need to prevent the outflow of ancient civilization heritage?"

"Worry, maybe someday someone from the Babylon Conservation Foundation will come back to you. If you are willing to part with your love and leave your things in Iraq, we will also show friendship in a different way. The squire explained in a "you know" tone.

In addition to the legal "souvenirs", the general's attendant also handed Gu Biao a bunch of keys, telling him that it was the key to a villa in the northern suburbs of Baghdad, and hoped that Gu Biao would come back to visit at a convenient time in the future and could live there. As for security and services, naturally, the general's guard was in charge.

The nature of this house is just "borrowed", not given to Gu Wei, so there is no need to worry about violating discipline at all, and there is no need to ask for instructions. As for the "supplies" in the house, of course, they are also used casually, and they are fine if they don't take the plane with them anyway.

Nowadays, the country will only take money and goods, regardless of accepting treats in terms of food and accommodation. What's more, eating, drinking, living and playing with foreigners is originally the scope of a diplomat's job responsibility.

Gu Biao asked the attendant to convey his gratitude: "Thank you very much for the general's arrangement, when my interpreter's injury is a little better and I can get out of bed and transfer, I will go to live there." ”

"Okay, the general will arrange the guards and service personnel for you. There will also be nurses in the apartment over there, and simple follow-up rehabilitation can be moved there, and the conditions will only be better than the hospital. The attendant explained enthusiastically.

……

After the retreat with General Hussein was completed, Gu Biao was finally able to relax his tense and haggard nerves for a few days.

The details of the business were all lost to the chief of the Bao Division.

It is also to respect the authority of Director Bao.

At this moment, all he cares about is taking care of Ishminaya's condition.

At the beginning, my sister had just undergone surgery for a serious injury, and the local anesthetic had not faded, so she worked overtime to help him translate the most core confidential conversation, and finally fainted again.

So for four or five days in a row, Gu Biao stayed at home, personally accompanied and carefully cared for without undressing.

A week after the injury, the internal wound of Isminaya's small intestine partial resection operation was basically healed, and she could move her body slightly, and Gu Biao was completely relieved.

The doctor did a detailed stratified CT of the girl's abdomen, and then reported the good news to the patient in detail:

"Miss, congratulations, the wound of the internal organs suture has healed completely, and the PGA surgical suture has also been absorbed, and a small amount of water and fruit and vegetable juice is allowed from today to help the discharge of the PGA residual thread and coating. After two days, the surface line can be removed. ”

At the end of the 70s, the surgical instrument technology was still relatively backward, and the first chemically synthesized absorbable surgical suture PGA in the United States was first invented in 1964 and put into formal clinical treatment four years later, and the patent protection period was until 1984.

Earlier, human visceral suturing surgery had to rely on absorbable surgical threads made from the chorion of the small intestine of sheep, but the rejection reaction of sheep intestine was more serious than that of chemically synthesized PGA.

The CT scanning equipment was just put into the pharmaceutical market in 1972, only 7 years ago. Therefore, whether it is CT or PGA, it is now an extremely expensive black technology medical device, and countries like Iraq do not have a good relationship with the United States, and it should have cost a huge price to get it.

Willing to give Isminaya these medical equipment, it can also be seen that General Hussein is quite righteous to Gu Biao, a think tank. At the same time, hospitals in China did not have these, even 301.

Although Isminaya was shot, she felt flattered and cramped.

Because she couldn't eat or drink for so many days, Isminaya lost seven or eight pounds (more than one pound of intestines were cut off, and there was a lot of mesenteric protective fat, which had to be cut off for the convenience of surgery).

The tall figure of 1.7 meters is not even 80 pounds.

After the intestines and mesentery were removed, the waist was still tightly bandaged, and the waist circumference was only 1 foot 5 according to the bandage.

It's really pitiful for those who saw it to cry.

Gu Biao also lost several pounds.

"Before leaving, Teacher Han told me to take care of you, if something happens, how can I explain it to Teacher Han. Now it's finally good. Gu Biao gently helped her younger sister out of bed and let her walk gently without touching the wound.

Ishminaya had no strength at all, and it seemed that she would break if she shook her waist slightly.

"The coffee in the hallway smells so good, I can't stand it. Yesterday you wiped my mouth, and I felt sweet until I licked the water, and I would be hungry if I didn't eat. "Ishminaya was depressed and coquettish, and she was so bitter in her heart.

Anyone who has experienced this kind of life of being conscious and relying on nutrient infusions to sustain life knows that when they see anything they can eat after staying up, their eyes will glow green.

"Does it smell of coffee in the hallway? Gu Biao didn't react at first, but later realized that Isminaya's sense of smell was many times more sensitive because of the injury.

It would have been impossible to take her for a short walk in the courtyard below—she would have seen anything she could eat, a canteen or a snack within a hundred meters of it, it would be too painful.

However, since the sister was injured for him, Gu Biao still has this determination, and he consciously insisted that as long as the younger sister was awake, he would not eat and drink in the ward, but always laughed with her to divert her attention to ensure that she could see people when she opened her eyes. lest she see anything that might stimulate an appetizing association.

Even in the afternoon of the same day, Gu Biao had a latex strip to isolate the smell on the door of the ward.

It wasn't until Ishminaya had fallen asleep that he slipped out of the room and hid away to get a little bit of food.

The schoolgirl's work and rest are very irregular, and Gu Biao's diet can only follow irregularity, hungry and full.

However, this bit of bitterness has reduced his guilt a lot.

……

Two days later, the surface stitches were removed, and I was officially discharged, and I drank sweet fruit and vegetable soup for two days (it can't be raw juice, and I have to cook it when I eat fruit), and my complexion is slightly better.

After careful examination, the doctor gave the final recuperation advice: "Don't drink coffee, don't eat things that are exciting and speed up blood circulation." Dairy products still need to be lactose-free.

The seasoning should be light, no spices should be added, and the fat should also be reduced to prevent steatorrhoea. Well, prescribe you some more supplements for hypokalemia twice a day until you return to your normal diet. In the current gastrointestinal situation, many inorganic salts cannot be absorbed naturally by food......"

The doctor's instructions were sprinkled with a lot of words, but Gu Biao couldn't understand it next to him, so he had to ask the senior sister to translate for him herself.

Isminaya had already gone crazy, and secretly missed a point or two when translating, but she was still discovered by the careful Gu Biao.

Gu Biao persuaded him both softly and gently: "I counted just now, the doctor said a total of 11 sentences, how can you turn it over to only 9 sentences?

"Chinese can be simplified. Isminaya was a little coquettish, and her eyes were pitiful.

"No, I've been here for so many days, so I understand a little bit. I also ask people about your prescription every day! Don't try to lie to me! But for your injury, I specially learned a few words of Arabic language, which are all medical terms!" Gu Biao decided to hammer it again.

Isminaya was really deceived by Gu Fu, and obediently confessed: "He also let the lactose milk fat be removed - but I'm so hungry and crying, I'm going crazy if I don't have any sweet cream to eat!"

Gu Biao breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll give you stewed milk and fish soup to drink, use skim milk." At most, add some nonfat cheese and more sugar to the cereal porridge, and that's all right - it's just that lactose can't be eaten, and other sugars that are easy to absorb directly will definitely let you eat it. ”

Ishminaya didn't know much about medicine, and was relieved to hear that lactose was not equal to other sugars. Like a docile kitten, he is arranged by Gu Biao.

Gu Biao hurriedly asked someone to send some freshwater fish and skim milk, and then made a nondescript nutritious meal by himself, which was regarded as a celebration of the schoolgirl's discharge from the hospital.

Ishminaya blushed slightly as she enjoyed the senior's feeding, and was immersed in a distraction, when the electric bell in the ward suddenly rang, albeit at a very low volume.

Esminaya was slightly startled and sat up straight.

Gu Biao put down the bowl and spoon and pressed the answer button.

This ward was personally ordered and arranged by General Hussein, so before the medical staff came in, they would press the electric bell to ask Gu Wei for instructions, so that the Chinese personnel would not be bumped into when they were having a confidential conversation.

On the other side of the walkie-talkie, the voice of the bodyguard Luo Yongxin came: "Comrade Gu, there is a comrade from the Ministry of Ordnance Industry, who is from China, and wants to visit you, is it convenient to come in?"

"Come in. ”
