The phone call at three o'clock in the morning seemed particularly harsh in the middle of the night.
In the room, Liao Gufeng, who was sleeping very lightly, woke up quickly. When he heard the landline phone ringing outside, Liao Gufeng frowned and got up from the bed.
"Who is it? You're calling me in the middle of the night." Lu Qian's mother was also awakened by the sound of the phone and frowned.
"It's probably something important. I'll go out to pick her up. You can continue to sleep." Liao Gufeng patted his wife on the shoulder and said.
When he came to the living room, Liao Gufeng looked at the caller number. It felt strange and familiar at the same time. He couldn't remember whose call it was for a moment, so he picked up the phone and said in a deep voice: "Who is it?"
"Secretary Liao, this is Xiao Shunhe." Xiao Shunhe said hurriedly on the other end of the phone.
"What's the matter?" Hearing that it was Xiao Shunhe, Liao Gufeng's eyes flashed with doubts. He didn't know what emergency Xiao Shunhe could have in calling him at this point. Could it be that the disaster situation in Liangbei County was urgent?
Liao Gufeng's thoughts flashed through his mind, and he heard Xiao Shunhe say: "Secretary Liao, Comrade Qiao Liang is injured, his brain is injured, and he is in a coma now."
"What?" Liao Gufeng was surprised, "Have you been sent to the hospital for rescue? Is your life in danger?"
"Secretary Liao, I don't know the specific situation yet. I just contacted the army and arranged for a helicopter to come over to respond." Xiao Shunhe said hurriedly and briefly reported the situation to Liao Gufeng.
When Liao Gufeng heard that Qiao Liang was injured because he went to the countryside to evacuate people, he almost ordered: "Comrade Shunhe, send Qiao Liang to the hospital as soon as possible, arrange the best medical resources for rescue, and notify me as soon as possible if there is any situation."
"Secretary Liao, don't worry, we will do our best to arrange the treatment of Comrade Qiao Liang." Xiao Shunhe said solemnly.
After hanging up the phone, Liao Gufeng was in a complicated mood, with deep worry on his face. When Qiao Liang went to Liangbei for a temporary job, it was his temporary arrangement. If something happened to Qiao Liang, it would have something to do with him. Liao Gufeng
I felt a little guilty for a moment.
Liao Gufeng was deep in thought when Lu Qian's mother's voice came from behind: "What happened to Xiao Qiao?"
"Didn't I tell you to sleep? Why did you get up?" Liao Gufeng looked back at his wife.
"Someone is calling in the middle of the night. Do you think I can sleep well?" Lu Qian's mother rolled her eyes and asked with concern, "What happened to Xiao Qiao?"
"It is said that his head was injured and he is in a coma. The specific situation is not clear yet." Liao Gufeng sighed.
"Ah!" Lu Qian's mother was also shocked when she heard this, and then asked with concern, "How can a good person be injured? Is it serious?"
"As I said, the specific situation is not clear yet, and I was not at the scene." Liao Gufeng smiled bitterly and comforted his wife, "Don't worry, the people below will make arrangements, and nothing will happen."
"It's not a joke to hurt your head. Don't leave any sequelae when you turn around. Then our Xiaoqian will suffer..." Lu Qian's mother murmured to herself.
"Where are you going with this..." Liao Gufeng said, dumbfounded, "Okay, don't think too much. Xiao Qiao, this kid, seems to me to be a very lucky person. I believe he has his own destiny and will be fine.
of."
"Of course it's best if it's okay." Lu Qian's mother nodded and said, "Don't let Xiaoqian know about this, otherwise Xiaoqian will be very anxious."
Liao Gufeng nodded slightly when he heard this.
Liangbei, County Meteorological Bureau dispatch command center.
After Xiao Shunhe finished the phone call, he saw Ding Xiaoyun looking at him in surprise and couldn't help asking: "Comrade Xiaoyun, what's wrong?"
"Secretary Xiao, County Magistrate Qiao is injured, why do you..."
"Why did you alert Secretary Liao in the middle of the night?" Xiao Shunhe took over Ding Xiaoyun's words and smiled slightly.
"Yeah." Ding Xiaoyun nodded doubtfully, a little confused about Xiao Shunhe's actions. Although Qiao Liang's injury was an important matter, there seems to be no need to alarm Liao Gufeng in the middle of the night, right?
"Comrade Xiaoyun, can't you tell? This Comrade Qiao Liang is highly valued and appreciated by Secretary Liao. To put it bluntly, even the two of us combined are not as important as Comrade Xiao Qiao in the eyes of Secretary Liao."
Well, now that something happened to Xiao Qiao, do you think it is necessary to report to Secretary Liao immediately?" Xiao Shunhe said seriously.
"Ah?" Ding Xiaoyun opened his mouth slightly, surprised by Xiao Shunhe's words, "Secretary Xiao, you mean...that Secretary Liao views County Magistrate Qiao in a different light?"
"It's not just a matter of special regard, it may be said that it's a sign of great love. I'm wondering if Comrade Qiao Liang came to Liangbei to take up a temporary post. Was it personally arranged by Secretary Liao?" Xiao Shunhe paused for a moment and then said, "Last time we proposed
Regarding the special education school, I asked Comrade Qiao Liang to go to the province to ask for funding, and he actually went. The key is that they can easily get the funding. What does this mean? It means that Comrade Qiao Liang has someone above him, but he
How can a temporary cadre from outside get to know leaders there? If you think about it again, Secretary Liao was also transferred from Jiangdong..."
"I really haven't thought about it that much. Although County Magistrate Qiao and Secretary Liao are both from Jiangdong, their levels are too far apart after all. I haven't really connected them before." Ding Xiaoyun said with a bitter smile.
"In fact, we can see some clues from many details. Take Secretary Liao's inspection trip to Xizhou as an example. You see, he set his last stop in Liangbei, and what he inspected was the poverty alleviation work in charge of Comrade Qiao Liang. After that,
The province has launched another series of propaganda to set Liangbei County's poverty alleviation work as a model. How can this not be a great love for Comrade Xiao Qiao?" Xiao Shunhe said.
After listening to Xiao Shunhe's detailed explanation, Ding Xiaoyun reacted with some hindsight. Perhaps it was because of the obsession with the authorities. She usually worked with Qiao Liang, so she really didn't think too much about it. In Ding Xiaoyun's view, many tasks came naturally and naturally.
Yes, I really didn’t notice that it was Liao Gufeng’s deliberate care for Qiao Liang. In addition to Ding Xiaoyun being surprised that Qiao Liang could successfully obtain funding from the province, Liangbei’s poverty alleviation work was listed as a model, and Ding Xiaoyun felt that this was a matter of course.
It should be a matter of course, because Qiao Liang has indeed made great achievements after taking charge of poverty alleviation work. The poverty alleviation work in Liangbei has taken on a new look. It is normal for Liao Gufeng to praise him personally after the inspection. Ding Xiaoyun did not think much about it.
Ding Xiaoyun was still recalling, while Xiao Shunhe on the side looked serious and said worriedly: "I just hope that nothing will happen to Comrade Qiao Liang. There are too few outstanding young cadres like him, and if something happens to him in Liangbei, we will
It’s hard to explain to Secretary Liao later.”
"No, I believe County Magistrate Qiao will be fine." Ding Xiaoyun whispered to himself.
Time passed quietly, and before I knew it, three days passed quickly.
In the ward, the strong smell of disinfectant is very pungent. The wall clock on the wall is ticking. Warm sunlight shines in from the window sill. Two pots of roses on the table are in bud, full and bright.
The colors add a bit of warmth to this monotonous and boring ward.
The ward is very quiet, without the noise and messiness of ordinary wards. There is also a faint smell of perfume around the hospital bed.
There is no doubt that this is a high-end single ward, located on the top floor of the inpatient building of the provincial hospital. After Qiao Liang's accident, he was first sent directly to Xizhou City Hospital by helicopter for rescue. After taking a CT scan, he was diagnosed with cerebral hemorrhage.
An operation was needed in time, so Qiao Liang completed the operation at the city hospital. Later, under Liao Gufeng's personal intervention and concern, after the operation, Qiao Liang was sent to the Provincial Hospital in Jincheng for follow-up after passing the critical period.
treat.
On the hospital bed, Qiao Liang's eyes were closed tightly. Today is the fourth day after the operation, and Qiao Liang still hasn't woken up. However, according to the doctor, Qiao Liang only woke up in a day or two, and there is no danger.
There was a creak, and someone opened the door outside the ward, and then a beautiful figure walked in. Lu Qian's mother, who was taking care of Qiao Liang in the ward, saw the person coming. A trace of vigilance flashed subconsciously in her eyes, and then she said: "Mr. Liu, Xiao Qiao
Just let me take care of you. I heard that you are a girl who manages a big company, so you must be very busy, so you don’t need to come here specially."
"Auntie, I'm not busy." The woman who came in was Liu Ying. Liu Ying vaguely felt that Lu Qian's mother seemed to dislike her, but she didn't think too much for a while. She focused on Qiao Liang and asked
, "Auntie, how is Qiao Liang?"
"It's probably nothing serious." Lu Qiandan's mother said with a smile. Although she doesn't like Liu Ying a little, she still has the demeanor she should have. And she doesn't like Liu Ying, which is not to say she hates her.
Liu Ying came from a woman's intuition, feeling that Liu Ying might become her daughter's number one love rival. This made Lu Qian's mother secretly anxious for her daughter, thinking that Qiao Liang was really good at attracting bees and butterflies.
Qiao Liang is hospitalized, and his daughter has not yet arrived. Don't let Liu Ying take the opportunity to capture Qiao Liang's heart.
Lu Qian's mother was thinking about something, and Qiao Liang's eyelids moved slightly on the hospital bed. He felt like he had had a long dream. In the dream, Qiao Liang found that he was hit by a pillar and fell into the water.
When he tried to climb ashore, he realized that he could not swim. This made Qiao Liang so anxious that he splashed in the water desperately in his dream. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not swim up and gradually sank into the water...
This dream was so real that Qiao Liang felt like he was about to die. When he was about to suffocate, Qiao Liang suddenly opened his eyes and gasped for air.
"Xiao Qiao, you're awake!"
"You're awake!"
Lu Qian's mother and Liu Ying spoke almost at the same time. They happily walked to the hospital bed and looked at Qiao Liang from left to right. Especially Lu Qian's mother, she happily took Qiao Liang's hand: "Just wake up,
My aunt has been worried to death these past few days. Xiaoqian keeps making several calls every day. If she hadn't gone on a temporary business trip to handle a case abroad and couldn't come back, she would have wanted to fly to Jincheng right away."
It turned out that Lu Qian's mother wanted to hide it from her daughter, but she never expected that Lu Qian saw the news on her mobile phone news and called her immediately. Seeing that her daughter already knew about it, Lu Qian's mother stopped hiding it and told her daughter the truth.
.
At this moment, Qiao Liang saw Lu Qian's mother, looking a little dazed. His first reaction was where he was. Especially when he saw Liu Ying next to him, Qiao Liang was even more confused. Emma, where is this?
