2666 Red rope
Chang Yue was stunned.
She looked at President Zheng, who had a warm and honest smile on his face, and felt a little strange.
“Professor Zheng, how … How can I accept this?” The old patient quickly grabbed the red string in Chang Yue’s hand and explained in embarrassment,””No, no, it’s fine. People like you … Scientists are all very busy. I’m just superstitious, feudal superstition …”
Zheng Ren laughed when he heard her ramble.”Do you still have any red strings?”
“Boss Zheng, I still have some left.” Gu Xiaoran handed over the red string that she had just left.
“Old man, it’s fine.” Zheng Ren sat down by the bed and said gently,””This isn’t feudal superstition. It’s now called a traditional custom. As long as you think it’s useful, then it’s useful. We often use psychological therapy to treat our patients, so it’s normal. “
The room fell silent as Zheng Ren skillfully weaved the red rope with his fingers. The patients and their family members on the bed next to them looked at him with envy. Professor Zheng’s hands were really skillful.
The five strings were woven exquisitely and beautifully. Zheng Ren’s hands were like magic, and in just a few minutes, a red string was woven.
“Old man, do you guys usually tie it to your left foot?” Zheng Ren asked.
“Yes.” The old lady nodded slightly. She was a little confused. She knew very well how long it took to weave this kind of red string. Every year, she had to make it for the children, regardless of whether they wore it or not.
Especially for the children who went to work and school, she would formally put a red string on their ankles when they left home.
In the old man’s heart, this meant that he would be safe and sound. But now, someone had put a red string on her. This was something that had happened many years ago. The old memory gradually became clear in the old woman’s mind. She hesitated, not knowing how to express her gratitude.
“I’ve put it on for you,” Zheng Ren tied the red string and looked at it carefully. He was very satisfied.
His standard was much higher than when he came to the capital last year. Should he change Yiren’s heart that was made of thread?
Zheng Ren smiled as he pondered.
“Thank you, thank you.” The old lady tried her best to touch the red string with her hand, but her large amount of ascites made her movements clumsy and stiff. She could not usually perform a simple action.
“Old man, you’ll run into him after the surgery. There’s no hurry.” Zheng Ren smiled and said,”that’s it, then. I’ll see you during the surgery tomorrow.”
“Yes, yes.” The old lady was a little excited. She looked at the beautiful red string from afar and returned to her half-bed position with the help of her son.
Zheng Ren turned around and left. Chang Yue reminded him from behind,”President Zheng, it doesn’t seem right to only give one patient the red string.”
“Uh …” Zheng Ren thought for a moment and asked,”then you can go and ask them. If they want it, I’ll make it up.”
Chang Yue nodded and turned to return to the ward.
Zheng Ren did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. To him, it was normal to appease the mood of an old man who was about to undergo surgery.
However, after dinner, when Chang Yue took out a pile of red strings, Zheng Ren felt that something was wrong.
Would this become a routine task in the future? the patients in the ward were all put in a mix between postoperative and preoperative. It was originally a demonstration for postoperative patients to make the patients who had just entered the hospital feel at ease.
However, in this way, weaving red ropes became a feature of the medical team. Zheng Ren was a little vexed and slightly dazed.
“Make it up,” Chang Yue said,”the other patients found out about you weaving the red rope in the afternoon. They’re all clamoring for it.”
Zheng Ren looked at the red string and sighed.
Su Yun gloated as she fed hei Zi wine and peanuts. She smiled and said,””You’ve worked hard, boss. “
Zheng Ren also knew this mentality, but … He seemed to have lived a little too long.
He sat on the sofa and asked her,””Yiren, I felt like I’ve improved again when I was weaving the red string this afternoon. Can I make another one for you?”
“I don’t want to.” Xie Yiren clutched her chest. She had been wearing the heart-shaped heart that Zheng Ren had weaved with a guidewire as a pendant.
Zheng Ren didn’t force her. Instead, he picked up the red thread and chatted while weaving the red string.
“How’s the Department director’s side? Let’s video call them. ” Zheng Ren was bored and asked.
“Department Director, you’re getting better and better,” Chang Yue said,”a few days ago, I saw the director when I was chatting with big Chu and little Chu.”
Su Yun took out a tablet and connected the video call with Department Director pan.
Old Department Director Pan’s deep and slightly aged voice came from the tablet.
“Have you guys finished eating?”
“Director, you just finished eating, right? I see that there’s still a grain of rice at the corner of your mouth.” Su Yun said with a smile.
“Don’t talk nonsense. I had noodles for dinner. ” Even though old Department Director pan said that, he could not help but wipe the corner of his mouth with his hand.
Su Yun laughed out loud.
“Chief, guess what President Zheng is doing.” Chang Yue went over and greeted old Department Associate Director pan.
“Scientific research? I heard that you guys went to Europe to treat a child with late cancer. How is it now?” Old Department Director pan asked.
“Wrong!” Su Yun said,”the boss feels that the patients in the surgery don’t have a sense of ceremony. He’s weaving a red string to replace the bracelet so that it’ll be easier to distinguish them in the future.”
Zheng Ren laughed. It was obvious that Su Yun’s mind had spun a few rounds when she said this, and what she said before and after was inconsistent.
However, it was a little troublesome to make up five knots. In the future, it would be one knot.
As Su Yun spoke, she turned the screen to face Zheng Ren.
Old Department Director pan was a little fatter than he was in the video a few days ago. He was no longer troubled by the blue bacteria, and his body was slowly recovering.
“Chief.” Zheng Ren waved the red string in his hand and said,”I met an old patient this afternoon. He said it was a habit from his hometown and asked me to make a red string for him.”
“Uh …” Old Department Director pan looked at the red string on the table. He was stunned at first, but then he laughed out loud.”I thought only Yue Lao would hold a red string. Kid, you play with this too?”
They were all old doctors, and it was self-evident what kind of psychological impact this kind of thing would have on the patient. Hence, Department Director pan was only joking and making fun of Zheng Ren.
“Hehe.” Zheng Ren smiled honestly, then said,””Director, you look much better.”
“That’s true. It’s not a big deal. You’re the only one who takes it seriously. ” Old Department Director pan said.
“Don’t eat those random things, got it?” Zheng Ren’s tone was not like he was talking to the Department Director, but more like he was talking to his parents. He nagged,”stop showing off your survival skills when you were young. Look at the situation now, I don’t need your little food.”
Old Department Director pan glared at him. However, Zheng Ren had his head lowered as he continued to weave the red rope. He did not notice old Department Director Pan’s gaze at all.
“Take care of your body. The blue fungus is under control, but you were so scary back then. Remember, I’ll be really angry the next time I see you eating bamboo rats. “
