Chapter nine

The moment Tong Yao put her hand into my arm, I felt a heart tremor I hadn't felt for a long time.

"I like it. That's great." The old lady was very happy. I glanced at Tong Yao secretly and was surprised to find that she was frowning. But I couldn't ask her.

Then we sat down to eat. The old lady was good at cooking, and every dish tasted wonderful. She was very happy today and talked a lot. "Xiao Feng, which department are you a doctor in?" she asked.

I almost answered directly, but accidentally saw Tong Yao winking at me, so I hurriedly replied: "Surgery."

"Oh, boys are good at surgery," the old lady said.

"I'm just too tired." I said and found Tong Yao smiling.

"Then where is your home?" the old lady asked again. I found that such interrogations are not only seen in movies. It seems that checking the household registration of the future son-in-law is a common feature of old ladies.

"From other provinces. I studied in university in Jiangnan, and I was assigned here after graduation." I answered, this was something I had discussed with Tong Yao before.

"Oh. Then what do your parents do?" she asked again.

"Mom, have you really started checking your household registration?" Tong Yao immediately interrupted her mother. But I still answered, "My parents are both clerks and ordinary people."

"It seems that you are quite well-educated. It seems that your parents are also very good people. Otherwise, how could we have cultivated such an outstanding talent like you." The old lady said with a smile. I think her words reflected this.

Her profession as a teacher.

"Xiao Feng, how old are you this year?" the old lady asked again.

"I..." I didn't know how to answer now, because after all, I was many years older than Tong Yao. Fortunately, Tong Yao spoke immediately, "Mom, are you really done?"

Of course I wouldn't answer this time, so I smiled and said, "Auntie, let me tell you a joke. One day when I was intern, the director was doing rounds on the ward. He pulled everyone into the corridor with a serious look on his face and said, this patient is very serious.

, let’s think about what to do? All the doctors began to think hard and didn’t say anything. When the director saw the answer, he suddenly said, let him be discharged when. "

The old lady was stunned, and then she burst out laughing. Tong Yao was also laughing. I was overjoyed: I finally changed the subject.

The old lady then smiled and asked me: "Which hospital are you interning in? Why are you so irresponsible?"

I laughed and said, "You're kidding. This joke was actually told to us by my teacher before. I don't know which hospital it was in."

The old lady laughed even louder, "It's so fun for you to be a doctor. Do you have any more jokes? Tell them."

"The wife of a coal mine boss accidentally fell and broke a femur. The coal boss asked the best surgeon in the hospital to operate on his wife. The doctor used a screw to connect the patient's bones. The operation

It was very successful. The hospital charged the rich man 50,000 yuan. The boss was immediately unhappy. He thought it was unfair to charge so much money for just using a screw, so he asked the hospital to list the detailed account of the charges.

.The hospital's bill is very simple: a screwdriver costs one dollar, and knowing how to put it in costs 49,999 yuan, totaling 50,000. The coal boss said nothing more."

The old lady stopped laughing at this time, but she said: "This story is good, I will tell it to my students tomorrow. (.om pure text) This is where the value of knowledge lies. Many of my students do not understand this truth."

At this time, Tong Yao said: "The jokes in your hospital are quite funny. Tell us another one and let's listen."[

I shook my head and said: "There are actually not many jokes in hospitals, especially surgeons, who are under a lot of pressure. Let me tell you a joke I read in a medical magazine a few days ago." said researchers from the University of Pittsburgh

announced that they had discovered the gullibility center in the human brain. They said that neurosurgeons could operate on people who are particularly gullible and remove this gullibility center. This operation is painless and does not damage the brain.

The rest of the parts. They also said that if you believe the above, it proves that you are a very gullible person and you can consider this kind of surgery now. Tong Yao, do you believe it? "

The old lady laughed again. Tong Yao also laughed, "Disgusting!"

The meal was enjoyable and I could tell that the old lady was very happy. However, I found that Tong Yao looked a little uneasy.

After eating, I rushed to wash the dishes, and the old lady didn't stop me. She also praised me: "This kid is so diligent."

After tidying up the kitchen and even returning the dishes and chopsticks that had been scattered around one by one, I went to the living room. I saw Tong Yao and her mother talking about something. I felt that my task today was successfully completed, so

She smiled and said to Tong Yao's mother: "Auntie, I'm going back. I'm going back to my hometown early tomorrow morning. By the way, Auntie, these are two shopping cards given to me by a patient. I'm holding them anyway.

It’s useless, you can just go and buy something for yourself.” After saying that, he took out the two shopping cards from his wallet and handed them to her.

Tong Yao said hurriedly: "One piece is enough."

"It's okay, the two together won't make you make a mistake." I said with a smile.

The old lady looked at me in surprise. Only then did I realize that I had said the wrong thing and almost revealed my secret. I hurriedly said, "Tong Yao and I were joking."

"How much money is in this card?" the old lady asked.

"Not much. You will know it when you go to the mall to buy things. I don't know if the patient gave it to me. There won't be many. The patients nowadays are very smart." I said, apologizing to Lin Yi in my heart.

.

The old lady took it over with a smile, "This kid is so sensible. Well, if you go home tomorrow, you can take me to say hello to your parents. Please ask them to come to our Jiangnan as a guest when they have time."

"Okay, Auntie." I nodded and bowed.

"Yao Yao, please send Xiao Feng off." The old lady said with a kind face.

Before going out, I took off the plastic bag on my feet, and then said to Tong Yao: "Please help me put it in the trash can."

She glared at me and went inside with the plastic bag. I opened the door and went out to wait for her, and heard the old lady inside saying to Tong Yao: "Yao Yao, I like this kid Xiao Feng, don't pick any more."

"I know, Mom!" Tong Yao was saying in a very impatient tone. I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Tong Yao came out after a while. I couldn't help but move my right arm. I immediately woke up and went to see her quietly. Fortunately, she didn't notice my involuntary movement. She was staring at me, "Feng Xiao,

Why are you behaving so well today?"

I was suddenly surprised, "Isn't it enough to behave well?"

"Are you stupid? We are pretending, but you behave so well. What should I do if my mother really likes you? Now it's better. She is very satisfied with the things you bought, can tell jokes, and is so hygienic.

The kitchen is also tidy. It's over. My mother told me that if I don't fall in love with you, she will settle the score with me! Feng Xiao, what are you doing? What do you want me to do?" She was furious.

typical.

I understood immediately and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "If I had known earlier, I would have performed worse. Didn't you remind me yourself?"

"Hey! I didn't think it through. In fact, it won't work if your performance is poor. In that case, she will ask me to find another one." She sighed.

I thought so, and then smiled and said: "Tong Yao, the easiest way is for you to find a real boyfriend as soon as possible. In this case, your mother will not say anything."

"Feng Xiao, I was just about to ask you. You and your ex-wife, I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't ask you," she said.

I said, "It's okay. Just say whatever you want."

"Are you and your ex-wife in a free relationship?" she asked.

I was startled and then replied: "That's right."

She asked me in surprise: "How do you call it true? I mean, do you feel that way about her? You should understand what I mean, right? It's the feeling of love."

I was stunned again, and after a while I answered: "You know, when I married her, she had already been married once. At that time, I felt that I still felt that way about her, but now I realize that I

It turns out that what I really like is her past, the person she was in middle school, because she gave me the taste of love at that time."

"Did you fall in love so early?" she asked.

I shook my head, "I have a crush on her."

She nodded, "I understand. In fact, you still have love for her. What about her?"

"Maybe." I said, "Later she told me that she actually knew that I had a crush on her when we were in middle school. Hey! Who knew, who knew she would leave this world like that."

"I understand. In fact, you have always been dissatisfied that she was ever married, which is why your life is so chaotic. Is that so?" She asked again.

I have analyzed this question myself, so I nodded and said: "Yes. I should have such an idea in my subconscious. After all, each of us hopes that our love or marriage will be perfect. This is everyone's truest heart, right?

?It’s just that some people are willing to give up this kind of perfection because of a certain advantage of the other person. Of course, there are also people who are reluctant.”

"Yes." She said, sighing softly, and then asked me: "So Feng Xiao, what do you think of your current wife?"

I felt a pain in my heart and immediately said to her: "Tong Yao, can we not talk about this matter?"

"I'm sorry." She said, "Feng Xiao, I very much agree with what you just said. When it comes to love, each of us is actually pursuing perfection. Me too. I hope that the half of my future will be the one I really like.

He must be worthy of my love. Of course, he must also love me. I will never give in to my marriage. Rather than doing this, it is better not to get married."

"Tong Yao, it seems that you are a person who pursues perfection. But I have to remind you that pursuing perfection too much can easily lead to tragedy, because there is no such thing as true perfection in this world. As a human being, there is no such thing.

Perfect." I said.

"I at least want to find a man who can touch my heart, right?" she said.

I nodded, "That's true. By the way, Tong Yao, isn't there a man who has ever touched your heart?"

"Feng Xiao, thank you for today. I wish you and your family a happy Spring Festival." She suddenly said this to me.

I seemed to understand in my heart, so I waved goodbye to her.

After I got in the car, I felt so tired. I couldn't help but think to myself: Why do I always feel tired? When I thought about it carefully, I realized that my tiredness had nothing to do with work at all. It was all messy things. It was even more incredible.

The thing is, in just two days yesterday and today, I actually pretended to be the boyfriend of two women.

Now I am starting to worry: How will Tong Yao explain to her mother next? She can really escape the first year of junior high school, but it is difficult to escape the fifteenth year.

It's none of my business, I have completed today's task. I said to myself in my heart, and suddenly recalled the tremor in my heart when Tong Yao hugged my arm, and there was a feeling in my heart.

A strange feeling. She is very beautiful, and very beautiful. I explained and defended myself in my heart.

Yes, she is indeed beautiful and unusual, because she is a police officer and has a heroic temperament that is different from other women.

When I got home, my father called me to sit on the sofa, where my mother and Azhu were watching TV. My father said he wanted to have a good talk with me. Thinking of what I had done in the past two days, I suddenly felt worried.

I went to sit down properly, thinking about how to respond to some questions my father might ask next.

Father spoke, "Feng Xiao, why are you so busy all day? You are not an official, you are just an obstetrician and gynecologist, why do you eat out every day?"

"It's all about friends," I said.

"Is this usually the case?" he asked.

"Absolutely. Patients treat me to dinner, people at work have things to do, pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies treat me, classmates get together. Anyway, there are many times when I eat out. I can't refuse." I replied.

"Then when do you read professional books? When do you spend time with your family?" My father asked again.

I was immediately speechless.

"Doctors in the hospital are like this now. It's good to read books in their free time at work." At this time, Azhu said, "Uncle Feng, Feng Xiao can't help it. He is now the deputy director of the obstetrics and gynecology department of their hospital.

There are many people looking for him, especially those from pharmaceutical companies and the like, who often invite him to dinner, as well as patients’ families.”

"Will they give you a red envelope?" the father asked.

"Sometimes," I answered. I didn't tell the truth, because patients' families always give red envelopes when they treat guests.

"That would be a mistake!" my father said seriously.

I was a little impatient and said, "Dad, this is the trend now. In fact, I don't care about other people's red envelopes, let alone eat that meal. But the patient's family members should understand the mood? They always feel that they have invited the doctor to have a meal.

Doctors will do their best to take care of patients after giving them red envelopes. This is human nature."

"That's true. But you should hand the red envelope to the hospital's disciplinary inspection department afterwards. This way you won't make any mistakes," said the father.

Azhu was laughing next to me, and I replied: "It is now customary for doctors to accept red envelopes. Every hospital and every doctor accepts them. If I hand over the red envelope, everyone will hate me."

The father was startled for a moment, and then sighed: "What's going on? Are upright people being attacked by a group of people?"

"This is how this society is. In fact, doctors receiving red envelopes and taking drug kickbacks are nothing. Compared with the corruption of those officials, this is nothing. This is also called relying on the backer to depend on the mountain and the water, otherwise with our little

How can I support myself with my salary? Foreign doctors and lawyers are all high-paid people, and our country is unscientific when setting salary standards," Azhu said.

"No wonder medical treatment is so expensive now. It turns out that you, the doctors, get the kickbacks. Ah Zhu, do you get the kickbacks too?" Mother asked.

"We are an auxiliary department, where are the rebates coming from? But the hospital will give us a commission for our examination items. This part of the commission is a bonus." Azhu replied.

"Our country can't do this. Medical treatment is too expensive now, and it's the common people who are suffering. Fortunately for us, we can reimburse for medical treatment and hospitalization, but what about the farmers? What about those laid-off workers? Hey!" my father sighed.

"Dad, you are wrong. The reason why medical treatment is expensive is not entirely caused by the kickbacks our doctors receive from medicines." I said. In fact, I also feel the same way about this issue, and I have also analyzed this issue before. "Dad,

Do you know the formation and composition of drug prices? You don’t know, right? Let me tell you. Drugs must go through initial animal experiments and clinical experiments before they are produced. If the results of the experiments are qualified, they will be reported to the Ministry of Health. Below is the Ministry of Health

A certain department of the company will issue a license approval document after expert review and deems it can be produced and sold. The next step is for the drug research unit to negotiate a price contract for the new product with the pharmaceutical factory. The first thing the pharmaceutical factory will do next is to submit a price request to the state.

The department declares the ex-factory price, wholesale price and retail price of drugs. The ex-factory price is the purchasing relationship between the pharmaceutical factory and the pharmaceutical company, the wholesale price is the price relationship between the pharmaceutical company and the hospital, and the retail price, needless to say, is between the hospital and the patient.

Relationship, that is, the final price.”

"What does this have to do with kickbacks?" my father asked. I could see that he was very interested in this issue. Moreover, both A-Zhu and I were listening to me attentively.

I continued: "The price formation of drugs is very complicated and should include several aspects. One is the early scientific research funding, and the other is the cost of applying for drug production licenses. In fact, in the final analysis, it is intellectual property rights. Then there are the production costs and production costs of pharmaceutical companies.

Reasonable profit. This part of the price is the ex-factory price. This price is often not high. For example, the ex-factory price of ofloxacin injection, which we commonly use to treat diarrhea, is less than two yuan a piece, but when it is used on patients, it is

The price is as high as nearly fifty yuan a bottle. This is because the wholesale price is set too high. Dad, let me continue to talk about the composition of drug prices. I talked about the ex-factory price earlier, so how is the wholesale price formed? Formulated

What is the basis for the wholesale price? To be honest, there is no basis. It is entirely the result of the work of the price department of the pharmaceutical factory. Therefore, the wholesale price is often much higher than the ex-factory price. Let’s take the ofloxacin injection I just mentioned.

For example, what is its wholesale price? About thirty-eight yuan! By the way, I just mentioned that the state has regulations that the retail price of drugs can only increase by 15 to 100 percent on the basis of the wholesale price.

20, cannot be higher than 20%. Therefore, the hospital does not make much money from the drugs. On the contrary, the hospital basically adopts a 15% increase on the wholesale price.

The price is sold as the retail price. In fact, hospitals also have costs. For example, in our hospital, there are so many people in the logistics department to support, retired employees, etc. Therefore, the problem arises in the setting of wholesale prices.

At the same time, it can also be seen from this that the profits of pharmaceutical companies, including the high wages of medical representatives and the kickbacks from doctors, are included in this. How much are the kickbacks for doctors? About 5% of the wholesale price. This is for each patient

In terms of the cost, it’s not high, right? A patient buys a medicine worth 100 yuan, and the doctor only gets 5 yuan. Therefore, the doctor’s rebate is not the main reason why medical treatment is expensive.”

"This is indeed a problem. Hey! Although we were a little poorer during Mao Zedong's time, everyone thought it was fair. Now...hey! To be honest, I don't understand it. It sounds like we are rich. The house we live in

, Feng Xiao, you even drove a car. This was unimaginable before. But why are people becoming more and more dissatisfied? People's moral standards and civic awareness are also getting worse and worse.

I really don’t understand. Maybe I’m getting old? Feng Xiao, people are social animals. Everyone has their own social life. I understand this, but some things have to be done in a certain way. The most important thing for a person is his own

Family, because your family is the one who can be with you when you are in the most difficult time. So, I hope you treat them well. You see, Chen Yuan is now like this and you regret it. Isn’t it already too late?

? People often learn to cherish after losing. Feng Xiao, maybe we are too nagging. This person talks too much when he is old, but you should understand the feelings of us parents. Maybe, wait for your child

When you grow up, you will know. We can’t stay here for a long time this time. We will go home after the Spring Festival. After all, we haven’t retired yet. We have worked for the country all our lives and don’t want to spend our last days in this country.

It's time to put down the burden. Hey! We are old, you can take charge of your own affairs from now on." The father sighed and said.

"Retire early. Dad, why bother? Make room for young people. Didn't I say it? Mom has worked hard all her life. Take her out to have fun. Life is short, and once you come to this world

It’s not an easy trip, so we should take a good look at the great rivers and mountains in this world. Don’t you think so?” I advised.

Suddenly, Azhu stood up and ran inside. Only then did I realize that what I just said touched her pain.

The mother hurriedly followed. The father shook his head and sighed: "Feng Xiao, you don't understand the feelings of our generation towards the country."

I was silent for a moment. Suddenly, my cell phone rang. It was Lin Yu, "Feng Xiao, I'm going to pay New Year's greetings to Governor Huang tomorrow. He said he hopes you can come with him. Are you free?"

"Okay. I'll contact you tomorrow." I said.

She hung up the phone, and I smiled bitterly and said to my father: "Look, I'm going out again tomorrow night. Secretary Lin asked me to go with her to pay New Year's greetings to Governor Huang."

I said this with a sense of pride, but I never expected that my father would suddenly ask me: "Feng Xiao, what is your relationship with Secretary Lin?"

My father's eyes were serious, even a little sharp. I suddenly felt panicked.
