Chapter 1285: Chapter 979: Surprises Galore

About the wedding, Professor Su and Yang Ping’s father soon reached an agreement, and the entire negotiation process was very pleasant. In their spare time, the two old men started playing chess.

The next day, Yang Ping walked to work at the hospital. From the community to the hospital was just across the street; he just needed to cross the sky bridge to the small square in front of the Emergency Department, which took much less time than driving.

Yang Ping remembered the time when Little Five had just gotten a car and insisted on Yang Ping riding with him. There were many people and cars during work hours. Although the hospital was just across the street, the car couldn’t find its way through, so it took half an hour to get to work.

Yang Ping crossed the sky bridge, passed the small square of the Emergency Department, and then walked along the central axis of Sanbo Hospital straight to the Surgical Research Institute. The security guard saw him coming from afar and had already pressed the elevator button for him.

Yang Ping really liked his current routine life—from home to the hospital and back, working steadfastly at his job during the day healing and saving lives, and enjoying simple, pure moments with his family after work, allowing him to focus on his medical skills.

It was still early, just past six o’clock, yet the doctors in the department were already busy. The young frontline doctors had a huge workload every day, and writing medical records alone was a tedious task that resulted in quite a few cases of tenosynovitis among the physicians in charge.

Some doctors were already eating breakfast while typing. Time indeed was scarce. As soon as they finished their current tasks, they had to hand over shifts, then do rounds, and after rounds, there were a multitude of surgeries waiting. After the surgeries in the afternoon, they had to handle discharges, and at night, they had to sort out the medical records—a pair of hands simply couldn’t cope with everything.

If these tasks paused even slightly to take shortcuts, the work immediately piled up. The more it accumulated, the more impossible it became to complete it all. The quality control department would promptly start pressuring, so these doctors tried their best not to procrastinate. They aimed to finish that day’s work on the same day, even if it meant working overtime into the night.

Yang Ping turned on his computer and browsed his emails. The work progress of Professor Mainshtan from Germany was fairly smooth. Most of the jury members were very patient. Every time they listened to Professor Mainshtan talk about the Spatial Orientation Gene theory, they would look bewildered and ask, "Could you say that again?"

This question was the one Professor Mainshtan had heard most frequently lately. "Can you repeat that?" It echoed in his ears as he frequently traveled to Sweden, tirelessly lecturing the experts to help them understand Professor Yang’s theory, hoping that Yang Ping’s research achievements would soon grace the Nobel Prize ceremony stage.

This was not only for the sake of science but also for Mainshtan’s own career. His research on nerve damage repair had not made significant breakthroughs, and he was eager to establish a cooperation with Yang Ping. Supporting Yang Ping’s Nobel Prize effort could clearly facilitate achieving this partnership.

After the morning shift change and rounds, Yang Ping went to the Thoracic Surgery Department to check on Ou Lianfeng, who was recovering very well from his surgery and was about to be discharged.

Ou Lianfeng had been receiving one piece of good news after another recently. What surprised him the most was that village, township, county, and city leaders from his hometown all came in person to visit him.

This deeply touched Ou Lianfeng. He realized the world could be so beautiful and loving towards him, a feeling he had never experienced before. It made him feel overwhelmed and occasionally doubt if it was all real.

By now, Ou Lianfeng’s ward was filled with various consolation gifts, and the consolation money was so substantial that he could barely hold it all. He had never imagined visiting Sanbo Hospital would become a turning point in his life. Before, every task was an uphill battle, but now everything progressed smoothly.

The county leaders felt that Ou Lianfeng’s house was too old and the living conditions too poor, so they immediately ordered the relevant departments to improve Ou Lianfeng’s living conditions quickly, which essentially meant the government was paying to build him a house.

Later, they heard that Ou Lianfeng’s wife was unemployed, so the county leaders promptly found a nearby job for her. Considering that Ou Lianfeng’s child was in school, they also wanted to do something for the child. They immediately visited the school to understand the situation and sent warmth in a timely manner.

But that wasn’t the biggest surprise. During his hospital stay, he actually met his former boss from the construction site, who had owed him over eight thousand yuan in wages years ago. After so many years, the boss now doubled the money and brought it along with many nutritional supplements, apologizing to Ou Lianfeng in person and explaining the forced circumstances back then. He had been looking for Ou Lianfeng for years but had been unable to find him until today, finally reconnecting with his former good workmate.

Ou Lianfeng couldn’t help but marvel at the changes in life. The various hardships he had encountered were all resolved recently. It seemed like good things were happening every day. Previously, when he tried to get diagnosed for pneumoconiosis, he had been given the cold shoulder everywhere he went, sometimes even being chased away by security guards. As for meeting any busy leaders, that was impossible for Ou Lianfeng.

Now, everyone spoke to him kindly and with smiles. Whether it was their words or actions, they all radiated infinite warmth. Life turned out to be this beautiful.

Ou Lianfeng had already been transferred to the general ward of the Thoracic Surgery Department. Professor Yang still came by regularly to check on him because he had undergone a highly minimally invasive surgery performed by a surgical robot, which allowed for a particularly fast recovery that met the discharge criteria.

Ou Lianfeng’s discharge was a big event locally. The county leaders had someone dispatched specifically with a vehicle for him, and departments like civil affairs and social insurance sent representatives to see if he needed financial assistance.

As for after the discharge, from the city to the county, the leaders had already planned it all out for him. He didn’t need to worry about these minor things. The civil affairs department had already arranged a job for him as a security guard in the reception room of a county agency. Although it was a contract position, it was a long-term contract with full social and medical insurance and a decent salary. More importantly, the job was easy, mainly involving receiving and sending newspapers and watching the door, without any heavy physical work. Compared to before, it was practically a dream job.

In fact, because the medical expenses were covered for free, Ou Lianfeng hadn’t spent any money this time. He still had the compensation money in hand. Having lived for decades, Ou Lianfeng had never felt as secure as he did now. Even now, he still thought he was dreaming, everything having come too rapidly, almost like having whatever he wished for.

On the day of his discharge, the county had someone specially come to pick him up, the city called to inquire about him, and the township and village chiefs helped carry the luggage. Each person was so kind and empathetic, showing Ou Lianfeng the beauty of the world.
