Chapter 22 Drunken Truth
Qu Ruo went home with Professor Yin.
A burst of fragrance came to his nose, and he praised: "My wife's cooking skills are getting better and better, no worse than the chef in the restaurant!"
The two walked into the house.
Mrs. Shi and Yin Ling put a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs and a plate of cold cucumber on the table.
The master smiled and said, "Yin Ling, you stay and accompany your father and Qu Ruo to eat, and there are two dishes, I'll come back after I'm done!"
Yin Ling agreed, and happily sat down at the table: "Dad, what day is today, why does Mom make so many delicious foods, and even don't restrict you from drinking?"
There is also a bottle of Erguotou on the table, and my mother is usually very strict and never lets my father touch anything like tobacco and alcohol.
She's a little confused, the wedding anniversary hasn't arrived yet!
"Today is ......"
Professor Yin glanced at the food on the table, and his heart was shocked.
Thirty years ago today, he was in love with his wife.
At that time, both of them had just graduated, and they were short of money, and they wanted to celebrate but were reluctant to spend money, so their wife cooked eight dishes and one soup herself.
The two ate quite proudly, swore an alliance with the sea, and the lovers eventually became married.
"Thirty years!"
Professor Yin muttered to himself.
He has gone through ups and downs for half of his life, but he thinks he is the luckiest person, married a wife with an extraordinary background, and became a professor, working hard in the field he likes for many years, and he is full of peach and plums.
"Girl, pour me the wine!"
Professor Yin drank all the wine in front of him, silently recalling dozens of bits and pieces.
"The school has slowly developed and grown, and it has become a national focus, but the traditional Chinese medicine hospital is about to withdraw from the stage of history!"
Professor Yin is well aware that without the background of the university, the relevant preferential policies will be terminated, and the TCM hospital will become a money-making tool like other medical institutions in the society.
Eventually, the school-affiliated hospital will become a historical term, at most just an unforgettable memory in the hearts of old customers.
The professor was very melancholy, Yin Ling could see that unconsciously, he poured wine into the wine glass in front of his father.
Professor Yin dried the wine again.
After more than a dozen glasses of wine, the professor was faintly drunk.
He said: "Your mother and I have been teaching in this school since we graduated, from teaching assistant to professor, we have been living here for 30 years, and we are really reluctant to give up the traditional Chinese medicine hospital and move to a new campus!"
Yin Ling persuaded: "Dad, the school has built a new campus, and even the affiliated hospital has built a new one, isn't this good, you are about to retire, isn't it good to rest?"
Professor Yin is in his fifties and will retire in a few years.
Yin Ling and her mother discussed that it was not a good thing for Professor Yin to contract out a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, and it was much easier to simply be a professor than to be the person in charge of a hospital.
"You don't understand, you don't understand!"
Professor Yin shook his head, sighed, and drank two more glasses of wine.
"What don't we understand, aren't you a little dazed because you suddenly handed over the rights in your hands, are you reluctant, you don't want to think about how old you are, even if this doesn't happen, how many more years can you be the dean?"
The wife brought the last dish to the table, and most of the two pots were gone, and my wife didn't drink less!
Quietly took the wine bottle and poured a glass, reluctantly drank it, a breath of wine surged into her heart, she almost couldn't hold it, I really don't know why so many people are addicted to alcohol: "This right will have to be handed over sooner or later, why bother!"
The husband was moved by his true feelings this time, otherwise he would not have drunk so much wine alone.
I didn't expect that he seemed to be indifferent before, but at the last moment, he still couldn't let go, too, he has been the president for more than ten years, and he has worked hard for the development of the Chinese medicine hospital, and it is not easy to let go.
The master poured another glass of wine and swallowed it: "We are all old, big professor, forget it!"
Professor Yin looked at the empty cup in front of him and said in a soft voice: "Come and deliberately anger me again, you know that I value more than those, I am worried about a few old neighbors who are suffering from stubborn diseases!"
Professor Yin admits that it is a bit of a loss to lose the position of dean, and now people are very realistic, the school has just released the news of outsourcing the affiliated hospital, and his colleagues are not as enthusiastic about him as before, and many people even proposed to compete for the position of director of the affiliated hospital of the new campus in front of him.
Even the interns in the traditional Chinese medicine hospital were a little restless, and privately contacted the city's private hospitals for the back road, and the new boss did not take in the interns, so they sought another job.
Professor Yin is most concerned about the condition of his neighbors, and in his opinion, several elderly people cannot afford to pay for medical treatment. The TCM hospital was transferred to a private person, and it is not known whether these elderly people can continue to be treated.
What he values is a kind of responsibility, after all, it is a task that he has not completed.
The family of three was a little silent, and the topic was too heavy.
Qu Ruo opened his mouth and said, "Since the teacher is reluctant, why don't we bid ourselves?"
He had a faint impulse to get millions in the antique city, and this money was enough for the contracting cost of the Chinese medicine hospital.
"Bidding yourself?" Professor Yin shook his head: "We do have this qualification, but what about the money, where does the money come from, according to my estimates, the annual contracting cost is about two or three million!"
Professor Yin's vision was blurred and he could not see any hope.
Although there are two people at work in the family, he has helped a lot of people over the years, plus the expenses of the three people, and the daughter's tuition fee, where can he make up millions?
Three million?
Qu Ruo looked at the frowning teacher with a firm gaze, this number was not unacceptable.
"Qu Ruo, don't mess around, other people's money must not be used, understand?"
Yin Ling sat next to Qu Ruo, and suddenly grabbed his hand, she was too embarrassed by her boyfriend, Qu Ruo's demeanor was clearly wanting to help her father.
However, he is just an ordinary student, where is there so much money.
Since the news spread that the affiliated hospital of the university was going to be subcontracted to a private person, many people came to Professor Yin and wanted to jointly contract, just to get on the line of Professor Yin to obtain the corresponding qualifications, and when they got the right to use the traditional Chinese medicine hospital, they would definitely make a lot of profits.
Such a person, Professor Yin, would not cooperate with them, let alone let Qu Ruo get involved with them.
"Xiao Qu, the patient's money can't be used, you know?"
Professor Yin reminded again: "It's okay, if you don't become the dean, you won't do it, if the neighbors need it, I will also give them outpatient treatment!"
The voice was very loud, as if it was for Qu Ruo and a few people, and it seemed to be for himself.
"Don't worry, I won't use other people's money, and I won't make any concessions to those bosses!"
Qu Ruo reassured.
A meal was spent in a dreary environment, and when Qu Ruo left, the little girl deliberately sent him out of the door: "You have made up your mind to participate in the bidding, haven't you?"
Yin Ling was very worried, compared to the position of the director of the Chinese medicine hospital, her father obviously cared more about famous places, and she was afraid that Qu Ruo would do irreparable things that would make it difficult for her father.
The little girl was nervous and couldn't help grabbing Qu Ruo's hand, in the past two years, she has become accustomed to his existence, and she has become accustomed to him shielding herself from the wind and rain.
In case Qu Ruo was blamed by her father for doing something wrong, she didn't know how to deal with it.
"Don't worry, trust me, I won't let the teacher down!"
Qu Ruo gave the little girl a reassuring pill, and when she went back, she made a bid.
