Chapter 267 What is the relationship

As the Masses Daily announced: Through the collective efforts, unremitting efforts and persistent struggle of the Chinese people, the State Council solemnly declares that our country has successfully completed the First Five-Year Plan.

In addition, socialist transformation was completed in both cities and rural areas, the people's commune system was established in all rural areas, and public-private partnerships were established in all urban industries and commerce.

China will enter the stage of socialist construction and make great strides towards this great goal!

From the capital to the remote villages, the news spread to all parts of the country via the radio waves of the Central Broadcasting Station, or through wooden boxes, or loud speakers tied high on trees.
The people of China are excited and full of energy.

Many factory and mine workers shouted that they were working overtime to speed up the construction of the motherland. For this reason, the People's Daily had to publish an article "No Overtime Work" to curb this phenomenon.
Of course, it is undeniable that some worker comrades acted spontaneously in order to speed up the construction of the motherland after listening to the reading and explanation of the newspaper reader comrades; but some comrades had the unspoken reason that they wanted to earn more overtime pay.

The Constitution officially promulgated in my country in 54 clearly stipulates that workers work 8 hours a day and have the freedom to work overtime, but they must have the right to overtime pay.

Anyone who fails to calculate overtime pay is committing an illegal act!

Therefore, our dear comrade Wang Deming had to accompany his comrades who were working overtime like crazy and be passively involved in the internal competition.

It was already 8 o'clock in the evening and the lights were still on in the factory clinic. Wang Deming was sitting with his legs crossed, reading a newspaper in his hand.

Two years ago, Comrade Lou Bancheng, the manager of the capital side, was guided by some unknown spirit and suddenly changed his attitude towards the use of funds of the steel rolling mill.

This is definitely a big deal. The additional investment in the steel rolling mill was as high as 300 million third edition RMB!

What does this 300 million mean?
In 54, the Beijing Hotel underwent its first renovation after the public-private partnership, adding several seven-story buildings with a total investment of only a few hundred thousand yuan.
After the 300 million was invested, the Red Star Steel Mill outside Dongzhimen immediately surpassed the Jianguo Steel Mill outside Xizhimen in terms of land area, workforce size, steel rolling technology, processing scale, and logistical support.

A new electric steel furnace refining workshop, three semi-continuous steel rolling processing workshops and a professional maintenance workshop were added, with a total number of workers exceeding 4000.

In order to better serve the workers, the logistical support was greatly enhanced. A new canteen and a special three-story clinic were built, and medical equipment such as X-ray machines, urine analyzers, and blood analyzers were equipped.

The health center is no longer a small organization with only a few departments. It is divided into professional departments such as internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, and pediatrics, as well as professional testing departments such as radiology and laboratory testing.

Now Wang Deming is assigned to the surgery department, and nominally he is only responsible for massage, but in fact his level of traditional Chinese medicine has been publicized among the workers and their families, and he is still doing the work of a general practitioner.

"What's in today's newspaper?" Comrade Jiang Xiaomei, also known as nurse Xiaomei, was still assigned to the surgery department to cooperate with Wang Deming.

The head nurse was arranged by the Labor Bureau from outside.

"The headline on the front page is "On the Ten Major Relationships." Wang Deming handed the newspaper to Xiaomei and looked at the time. "It's finally time to start the needle."

He stood up, walked to the treatment room next door, and said, "If it were up to me, you should learn Chinese medicine from me, at least learn acupuncture and moxibustion."

"No, you won't learn it. It will be easier for you after you learn it. But then all the work will be put on my head. I'm not stupid." Nurse Xiaomei pouted and rejected the kindness of Dr. Wang, a master of traditional Chinese medicine.

She immediately changed the topic to the content of the newspaper, glanced at it, and asked, "The top ten relationships? What are they about specifically?"

While Wang Deming was removing needles from the workers who came for acupuncture, he also acted as a temporary newspaper reader: "In order to better build Chinese socialism, the report "On the Ten Major Relationships" clearly pointed out that we should learn from the Soviet Union but not blindly follow it, and explore a socialist path that is more in line with my country's national conditions. The ten major relationships are the ten major contradictions.

The ten relationships are: 1. The relationship between heavy industry, light industry and agriculture; 2. The relationship between coastal industry and inland industry; 3. The relationship between economic construction and national defense construction; 4. The relationship between the state, production units and individual producers; 5. The relationship between the central government and local governments; 6. The relationship between the Han and ethnic minorities; 7. The relationship between the Party and non-Party members; 8. The relationship between revolution and counter-revolution; 9. The relationship between right and wrong; and 10. The relationship between China and foreign countries.

Nurse Xiaomei blinked for a moment before she realized what was going on. She exclaimed, "Oh, that's so complicated, but it's so well said!"

"of course!"

“We are a heavy industry, right?”

"No, heavy industry refers to our steel rolling mill. In our case, it should be a relationship between a production unit and an individual producer." Wang Deming took out all the needles and patted the worker on the back, "Comrade, wake up and go home now."

"Oh, it's over? Cough, spit." The worker who was receiving acupuncture woke up dazedly, coughed first, and coughed up a mouthful of thick white phlegm into the spittoon. With an apologetic look on his face, he said, "Doctor Wang, I'm sorry, I was too tired and fell asleep just now, and I delayed you and Comrade Jiang from getting off work."

"It is our duty as medical personnel to serve the workers. Besides, you work overtime on the front lines all day long for the construction of the motherland. We have also made a small contribution." Wang Deming waved his hand indifferently, "Come, sit outside, I will feel your pulse and listen to your heart to see how your lungs are doing."

He asked the worker to sit beside his examination table and put his left hand on the pulse gauge made of cloth and cotton. Wang Deming placed three fingers lightly on the Cun, Guan and Chi points of the worker's left hand and pressed down gently. Then he asked the worker to change to his right hand.

Finally, he signaled the worker to unbutton his chest, put the earplugs of the stethoscope hanging around his neck into his ears, and placed the listening pillow on the worker's chest and back to listen for a while.

While motioning the worker to button his shirt, he informed the worker of the result: "The effect of acupuncture is good. The noise in the lungs has disappeared. However, according to the pulse check, the lungs are still a little cold. He needs to cough for a few more days. I think another three to five acupuncture treatments will be enough."

"Doctor Wang, thank you so much."

"Don't be polite. Remember this in the future. You must keep in mind labor protection when you are working. The reason you have difficulty breathing and white sputum is because you didn't wear the mask properly."

The worker scratched his head in embarrassment, "Hey, it's just too hot in the workshop!"

Wang Deming still had a stern face and lectured him: "No matter how hot it is, you can't joke with your body! Now you are young, and the main symptom is coughing up white phlegm. But when you are old, you will suffer from pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, bronchitis, etc."

"Then you will regret why you didn't do a good job of labor protection when you were young."

"Yes, yes, Doctor Wang, I'll remember what you said!" The worker thanked him profusely and left.

Wang Deming and nurse Xiaomei disinfected and organized the instruments together.

Disinfection actually means cooking in a pressure cooker, or directly boiling in a small aluminum pot for half an hour, including but not limited to: acupuncture needles, syringes, needles, scissors, tweezers, hemostatic forceps, etc.

Everything was done by 9 o'clock in the evening.

The spring night was as cool as water. Under the moonlight, Wang Deming jumped on his bike and rode slowly towards the Xiaojing Factory.

In the steel mill workshop behind me, the orange light occasionally bursts into fiery red.
