Guo Kaishan's time as a political assistant at the Red Army Division Hospital may have been the best period of time when he was a soldier. Not only can he find his own place here, but he can also work with close comrades-in-arms like Liu Xuehua.

With the gradual liberalization of the army's "tertiary industry" in the 80s of the last century, the Red Army Division Hospital also ushered in its spring, and it can receive more local patients. Internally, it is still called the "Red Army Division Hospital", and externally it is called the "Forward Hospital". When the four big characters were erected high on the roof of the hospital's outpatient building, Guo Kaishan and the military doctors also felt extremely comfortable, and they could truly "serve the people."

Jingbei, a small city in the north, has also nearly doubled in size under the spring breeze of reform and opening up. The population has grown from hundreds of thousands to millions. Factories of all sizes have brought a large number of peasants to the city to work, and the number of entertainment venues has sprung up every day.

Cultivating a "self-employed" may be completed in a few days, and a private entrepreneur is only a few years, but it takes a lot of energy and money to train a doctor with excellent medical skills. The vast majority of the military doctors in the Red Army Division Hospital have graduated from the "health school" of the military region, and after reaching a certain number of years of service, they will go to the military medical university for more than two years of "advanced study." After they return from their studies, they will return to this hospital, and Vice President Liu Xuehua is the most famous of them.

When Guo Kaishan was guarding the door of the operating room, waiting for Liu Xuehua to come out, his palms were always sweating. She is so tired, she is really too tired, a woman who is less than thirty years old has now become a "machine for surgery", and one stop is several hours, which makes Guo Kaishan in his heart. inevitably caused a burst of sour water of "pity the fragrance and cherish the jade".

When studying in the health school, they are all young people who have dreams, studying hard for their profession, Guo Kaishan also had the opportunity to be a doctor, but he chose to be a "pharmacist", in order to be able to leave school as soon as possible and become a man with a family and a job. Now he has everything, a wife, a son, a position. But when he saw the exhausted Liu Xuehua walking out of the operating room. His heart is always sour, the woman in front of him has always been his "dream", a promise to his wife at the beginning, made him give up this beautiful woman. He didn't dare to pursue her, and he knew in his heart that Liu Xuehua still loved him, but he could only care about his "dream" with a small care, but not a lot.

The door of the operating room is the first to push out a patient who has not passed the anesthetic period. After waiting for a long time, Liu Xuehua walked out sweating profusely, and it can be seen from her surgical gown that her "back heart" is all soaked with sweat.

Guo Kaishan hurriedly stepped forward and handed over a clean towel. "I'm tired, wipe my face."

Liu Xuehua's originally painful expression, when he saw Guo Kaishan, his eyes suddenly became slender. She took off her gloves and handed them to the nurse, taking Guo Kaishan's towel.

"Is there something wrong, how long have you been waiting?"

"It's a bit of a thing. I looked for you to do it, and I didn't have to wait long. ”

Coming out of the building, the two walked to Liu Xuehua's dormitory, Liu Xuehua washed his face and said, "Just say something, what's wrong?" ”

"You came back from the Military Medical University, we haven't had time to go to the movies, how about it, do you have time in the evening? "Eight Hundred Arhats" is played in the division club, I heard that it is good-looking, but it can be beaten. ”

"I'm a little tired and want to take a break, so I'm not going."

Guo Kaishan was rejected by Liu Xuehua for the first time, his face was as red as an apple, he was originally sitting on the wooden chair on the backrest, and he wanted to continue to introduce the "Eight Hundred Arhats", but now he has no interest, so he has to get up and say goodbye.

"What's wrong? Not happy? Go, can you not go, I just try you, you are still the same dead appearance, but before I go, I will go to my aunt's house, and my stomach is still growling. ”

Guo Kaishan was interested again, "I'll go driving, you wait for me." ”

"No need, it's not far, let's go on foot, you go back and change your local clothes." Liu Xuehua thinks that the military uniform is too conspicuous, and after getting off work, she doesn't want to wear it anymore.

The distance from the Red Army Division Hospital to the division headquarters is not very far, but it is not very close, Guo Kaishan and Liu Xuehua, who are wearing local clothes, are walking far apart, Guo Kaishan is walking, while talking about the propaganda poster of "Eight Hundred Arhats", Liu Xuehua, who has been tired for a day, has done three major surgeries today, and she can only rest for a while when she gets off work, she is listening to Guo Kaishan's "speech" while giggling, this laughter spreads far away, on the streets of Jingbei, no one will pay attention to them, They are like a little couple, happily pressing the "road".

The aunt's food is still so particular, Liu Xuehua and Guo Kaishan ate a bowl of wontons and left in a hurry.

After the movie started, they went in and found a remote seat to watch the movie. The reason is very simple, Liu Xuehua is the "goddess" of the Red Army Division, if you go in before the lights are turned on, people will point fingers at the end of the matter, and Guo Kaishan is still a "married man", and their relationship is not recognized by others.

Guo Kaishan did a good job as a political coordinator, he watched the movie with great interest, and commented on the movie from time to time. At first, Liu Xuehua still responded, but no matter what Guo Kaishan said, there was no movement, it turned out that she had already fallen asleep.

"Eight Hundred Arhats" was screened in the division club for a week, in order to let Liu Xuehua see it, Guo Kaishan accompanied her to watch it three times, but the result of each time was that Guo Kaishan told her the most embarrassing plot on the way back.

The Red Army Division Hospital soon gained a large amount of benefits from the outside world, and not to mention the "supply" to the superiors, the net profit of the hospital alone reached several million yuan. These are the results of the efforts of the hospital staff. The hospital also followed the example of the local factory, and distributed the corresponding "bonuses" to each person according to their work. The first place is Liu Xuehua, her salary and bonus are more than three times higher than Guo Kaishan's, the reason is very simple, who made her the best doctor in Jingbei in "surgery", "neurosurgery" and "brain".

Guo Kaishan's salary is at a medium level in the hospital, his post allowance and military age money are not low, but his bonus is about the same as that of a doctor who has just graduated from college. Even the volunteers who burned the boiler were inferior. This bonus system was jointly formulated by the dean, Liu Xuehua and Guo Kaishan, the first two thought that this was a bit unfair to Guo Kaishan, after all, he was the leader of the hospital, the secretary of the party committee, but Guo Kaishan said disapprovingly, "This is all good, when the hospital was not open to the public before, I was still a figure, and now I count on you to make money." Of course, you have to take more, compared to the above, more than the bottom, compared to the grassroots troops, I have more than their regiment commanders. ”

It is true that the troops at the grassroots level have always been very hard, and in the case of Regiment B, they eat the lowest "stove" standard and receive dead wages. It's the most tiring to train, and now that the middle Y is at war, there is still a risk of going to the front line at any time, and they are the hardest people.

With money. Of course, it is necessary to consume, and Japan's high-tech products were the mainstream at that time, although Guo Kaishan hated little devils. But it's not okay not to buy Japanese goods, the most expensive and best-selling products in the mall are still Japanese products. Guo Kaishan and Liu Xuehua bought a "Sony brand" video recorder. It cost more than 5,000 oceans, a blank videotape is 80 yuan, and a small program costs hundreds, which makes both of their fists sweat.

In the off-duty life of the Red Army Division Hospital, the "old calves" have families, and their wives and children have gone to the hot kang. Eighty percent of the medical staff in the hospital are still young people who have not yet reached the "line", and now that there is a video recorder, of course, the most enthusiastic thing is to watch "video".

At the beginning, the videotapes were all brand new, which was really unacceptable to the old dean, and whenever the secretary came to him with an invoice to sign, the roots of the old man's teeth hurt to death, as if the money was his own, and every hundred dollars spent was his hard-earned money.

"Why is this so expensive, can you watch two less plates, this plate is more than 100 yuan?"

"This is cheap, old dean, we will put this tape for a month, do you know what to say about me?"

"How?"

"Loop video hall, every time I come to the screening hall, these are the films, people have long had opinions, and some people also said that let the whole theater pay money, and each person pays 100 yuan a year, so that it will not cost the money in the theater."

"That's good, whoever looks at it will pay."

At this time, Guo Kaishan walked in, and when the secretary saw it, he immediately said, "The dean said that Qi Qian is okay, what do you think?" ”

"I don't think it's good, it's not that there is no money in the hospital, so this benefit is still out of the hospital." Guo Kaishan's words were very affirmative, and after the old dean heard it, he had no choice but to sign the invoice, and the secretary made the "account".

Seeing that the secretary was far away, the old dean closed the door and rushed to Guo Kaishan without calling a place, "I said, don't let you buy, don't let you buy, now it's okay, this is a current withdrawal, a plate of tape will cost hundreds of yuan, gold and silver, sooner or later, you will be defeated." ”

Guo Kaishan was not angry, he took the thermos and refilled the old dean's teacup, and then sat on the sofa and said, "You don't understand the situation, we don't buy it in vain, now the brother troops already have video recorders, I asked the projection soldiers to call and communicate with them from time to time, everyone doesn't buy heavy ones, just string each other to watch, don't you pay attention, we just spent a lot of money in the month when we just bought the video recorder, and now it is gradually decreasing, I heard that even the division's non-staple food base and shooting range have video recorders, this is the general trend." ”

"It's true, I asked my wife to come and see if it looks as good as you said."

The dean and the dean's wife, or the first time they came back to the screening room, in order to show respect for the elderly, specially put on a domestic film "Oh This Family", the dean's wife laughed while watching, completely like an "old child", the dean also put down the usual seriousness, became kind, then Guo Kaishan turned his head to the old dean and said, "Senior, is this video good-looking?" ”

"It's good, I've seen this movie, and this video is much clearer than the movie."

"Oh, that's a pity." Guo Kaishan pretended to sigh.

"What a pity?"

"It's a pity that the TV is a little smaller, and the people behind can't see it."

Only then did the old dean realize that there were still some people sitting on the chairs in the first few rows, most of them were military doctors in the hospital, and many nurses and soldiers were standing behind and watching.

"Why don't you sit down?"

"The TV is so small, it's okay to listen to a news broadcast, if you all sit down, how can you watch it in the back row."

"It's a little smaller, old man, your hospital has money now, so change it." My wife also interjected.

"I know it, it turns out that I fell into Guo Kaishan's trap again, this kid said to change the TV, and he told me several times, I have always disagreed, it turned out to be waiting for me here, everyone said to change it or not?"

Hearing the dean's words, the head nurse Zhang on the side immediately stood up, and she waved her hands as if she was directing something.

"Change, change, it's long overdue."

"yes, it's long overdue."

You said a word, I said a word, and there was a lot of noise in the screening room.

"Old dean, what do you say?" Guo Kaishan smiled at the old dean like a child and said.

"Change, change for the biggest, and the hospital will pay for it." The old dean also seemed to have become generous.

The new TV is still "Japanese products",Originally, Guo Kaishan wanted to buy"Philips"But because the screen is smaller,Liu Xuehua persuaded him to buy a "Sony",No way,Who knows what to say,Why are all big TVs Japanese,Although Guo Kaishan doesn't like "Japanese products",But I still bought a"37 inches"Big TV,It cost 15,000 yuan。 At that time, the salary of a company commander was only 200 yuan, which was what the division hospital could get, and even the division headquarters did not have this "fund".

As Guo Kaishan said, the investment in the videotapes of the division hospital was not in vain, and within a few months, it was used to change the tape, and the tape was watched for several months in vain, and the young projectionist also turned the hospital into a volunteer soldier, because he was the most familiar with video recorders and televisions, and in order to let him master more relevant knowledge, he was also sent to a local school for study.

The videotape of the TV series "Several Degrees of Sunset Red" was screened on mainland TV stations before it came to the Normal Hospital. Liu Xuehua, who rarely watches videos, watched it for a few nights, and she gave herself a few days off, no one dared to ask, after all, she was the one who paid the most for the hospital.

Guo Kaishan was watching from the side, and when Liu Xuehua's tears flowed, he would take out a handkerchief and hand it to her as soon as possible, and he would prepare nearly ten handkerchiefs to wash a day.

There is temptation at any time, just over a month after the screening of "Several Degrees of Sunset Red", Guo Kaishan discovered a secret, that is, when the video is shown every day, the expensive video recorder will be missing for more than an hour, at first Guo Kaishan didn't care, he thought that the projectionist was cleaning the machine and maintaining it, and then he got a message in the gossip, that is, some people were watching "wool films".

When a small group of people were watching the boiler room, Guo Kaishan and Liu Xuehua broke in with the people of the guard squad, and everyone present lowered their heads.

In order not to expand the matter, the party committee of the division hospital decided to arrange for several young military doctors who watched the film to be transferred to their jobs, citing "personal reasons"; the soldiers and projectionists in the boiler room were demobilized that year, and the video recorder made Guo Kaishan lock in the safe, and only during the break on Saturday afternoon, he would take it out for screening, 24 hours a day, until 5 o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday.
