Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 897 Liang Dehua’s troubles!

Liang Jing waited until Director Zhong and others left Liang Dehua's office before she walked back into his office. Seeing Liang Dehua's solemn expression, she curiously asked him, "Dad! You look so worried, what happened?"

When Liang Dehua heard Liang Jing's question and thought of the hospital's current predicament, he introduced to Liang Jing with a serious face: "Xiao Jing! The second-hand X-ray diagnostic machine in our hospital often goes on strike and cannot work. Last year, the hospital applied to the Ministry to purchase a brand new X-ray diagnostic machine."

"The department had originally agreed to help us purchase one, but after the new X-ray diagnostic machine was purchased, the department actually gave the X-ray diagnostic machine to the main hospital."

After hearing what Liang Dehua said, Liang Jing finally understood why Liang Dehua was so worried. Thinking of everything she had just heard outside the door, Liang Jing immediately said to Liang Dehua, "Dad! Since all the good things in the department are kept at the main hospital, why don't we just ask the department for money? Then we can ask Aiguo to arrange someone to help us purchase a more advanced X-ray diagnostic machine."

When Liang Dehua heard Liang Jing's proposal and thought about the real intention of the Ministry, he said to Liang Jing with dissatisfaction: "Xiao Jing! If you think so, you are totally wrong. Do you really think that the money from the Ministry is so easy to get? They are willing to go out and purchase equipment for our hospital. They are eyeing the procurement channels in the hands of the Trade Department. They want to find the Trade Department to purchase more medical equipment through me."

After hearing what Liang Dehua said, Liang Jing finally understood why Liang Dehua was so worried. She replied nonchalantly, "Dad! The Trade Department is the unit that specializes in purchasing imported equipment. Even if you don't ask Aiguo for help in purchasing medical equipment, others will. You don't have to beg for help and hope that the department can allocate medical equipment to us."

"Besides, purchasing one piece of equipment is purchasing, purchasing ten pieces of equipment is also purchasing. As long as the purchased equipment can be given priority to our People's Hospital, other issues are not problems at all. Why do you have to worry about such a small matter?"

Liang Dehua heard Liang Jing's answer and saw Liang Jing's indifferent expression, so he replied: "Xiao Jing! Since you married Aiguo, Aiguo has helped me a lot in my work. Even if Aiguo is my son-in-law, I can't always go to Aiguo for help with everything, right?"

"Dad! You said that Aiguo is your son-in-law. A son-in-law is half a son. You ask your own son-in-law for help, not outsiders. Why are you embarrassed?" Liang Jing heard Liang Dehua's answer, and rolled her eyes at Liang Dehua in annoyance, and started to criticize Liang Dehua for being thin-skinned.

Liang Dehua heard Liang Jing's scolding, but he did not get angry because of Liang Jing's scolding. Instead, he changed the subject and asked Liang Jing: "By the way! Xiao Jing! You came to my place so early in the morning, what's the matter?"

When Liang Jing heard Liang Dehua's question, she remembered the purpose of her visit to Liang Dehua and quickly introduced to Liang Dehua: "Dad! Aiguo has already made it clear that Xiaoqin will go to the countryside. Now we just need to wait for the certificate that Qinjia Village is willing to accept her. Then we can take Xiaoqin's medical records to the Youth Educated Office to handle the relevant procedures."

When Liang Dehua learned the reason why Liang Jing came, he showed a happy smile on his face and quickly confirmed with Liang Jing: "Xiao Jing! What did you say? Aiguo has already confirmed that Xiaoqin will go to Qinjia Village to work in the countryside. Is this true?"

Liang Jing nodded subconsciously when she heard Liang Dehua's question and replied, "Dad! Aiguo said that the Youth Educated Office will determine the final destination of this batch of youth educated on the 15th. If Aiguo doesn't make this call in time, once the list is confirmed, even if Aiguo has good connections, it will be powerless to save the situation."

Liang Jing had previously reminded Liang Dehua that the policy of sending educated youth to the countryside would change from voluntary to compulsory, and asked him to arrange a job for Liang Jun.

When Liang Dehua heard the news, he didn't take it seriously at all, and even ignored his little niece, who had not been working because of her poor health. Unexpectedly, his niece was reported to the Youth Educated Office by the Street Office because her age met the requirements for going to the countryside. Liang Dehua felt extremely guilty about Liang Qin's going to the countryside, so changing Liang Qin's fate of going to the remote mountainous area to join the team was the most important thing for Liang Dehua at the moment.

After confirming that his son-in-law had already helped his niece find a place to go in the countryside, Liang Dehua finally put his worries to rest and said to Liang Jing happily: "Xiao Jing! This is simply too good to be true. Please sit down for a while. I will call your uncle and tell him the good news."

Liang Jing saw Liang Dehua reaching out to hold the phone, ready to call his uncle. Thinking of Wu Aiguo's plan to invite the director of the Youth Office to dinner tonight, she quickly said to Liang Dehua, "Dad! Aiguo is going to invite the director of the Youth Office to dinner at the Trade Department's canteen tonight. He asked you and my uncle to go to the Trade Department's canteen to eat after get off work."

After hearing Liang Jing's explanation, Liang Dehua reached out and shook the handle of the phone, and replied, "Xiao Jing! The director of the Youth Educated Office is willing to help, which is equivalent to saving Xiao Qin in disguise. I will tell your uncle about this matter later. Ask your uncle to bring two bottles of good wine. You must thank the director of the Youth Educated Office tonight."

When Liang Jing heard Liang Dehua's words, she thought about her duty today, and hurriedly said to Liang Dehua: "Dad! I'm on duty today, I have to rush back to the department immediately."

When Liang Dehua heard Liang Jing's words, he smiled and nodded, and replied: "Okay! Xiaojing! Then you go back first!"

When Liang Dehua heard the operator's question on the phone, he immediately said politely, "Comrade! Hello! This is the People's Hospital. Please transfer me to the Equipment Supply Department of the Ministry of Industry and let Comrade Liang Dejiang take the call."

"This is the Equipment Supply Department of the Ministry of Industry. Who is this?" The call was quickly connected. Before Liang Dehua had time to speak, Liang Dejiang's polite voice came from the phone.

When Liang Dehua heard Liang Dejiang's question, he thought of Liang Qin's going to the countryside, and said to Liang Dejiang happily: "Brother! Aiguo has already settled Xiaoqin's matter. As long as we wait for the acceptance certificate from Qinjia Village to be delivered, we can take Xiaoqin's medical records to the Youth Educated Office to handle the relevant procedures."

Because of his daughter's matter, Liang Dejiang had been absent-minded at work these two days. Until he heard Liang Dehua say that his daughter could stay in the suburbs of Kyoto and didn't have to go to the northwest to suffer, he burst into tears of joy and said to Liang Dehua excitedly: "Dehua! Thank you, thank you Aiguo and Xiaojing!"

Liang Dehua heard Liang Dejiang's choked thanks and felt the excitement in Liang Dejiang's heart. He smiled and said to Liang Dejiang: "Brother! We are brothers. We are family and we don't have to talk behind each other's backs. Why do you have to be polite to me?"

"Also! Aiguo will invite the director of the Youth League Office to dinner at the Trade Department's canteen tonight. Let us two brothers come over to eat together."

When Liang Dejiang learned that Wu Aiguo was going to invite the director of the Youth Office to dinner, he immediately said to Liang Dehua, "Dehua! I happen to have a few bottles of good wine at home. I'll bring some wine over tonight and thank Aiguo and the director of the Youth Office."
