Reinventing the Millennium

On October 20, it rained heavily in Luzhou.

The capital of Anhui Province is located in the plains of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It has a mild climate, four distinct seasons, and very few extreme weather conditions. Therefore, the occasional heavy rain can catch people off guard.

Liu Huiyang had read the weather forecast in advance, but when he actually went out in such weather, he found that even bringing an umbrella was of little use.

After getting off work at noon, Liu Huiyang's back was already wet from the rain on the way from his work to the bus station, and his shoes were soaked in mud and stuck to his feet, which was particularly uncomfortable.

After finally getting on the bus, Liu Huiyang was in a bad mood and was planning to go to the hospital to register his sick mother-in-law, when the car suddenly stopped unexpectedly.

The car body "knock-knock-knock-knocked" shook twice, as if it had used up its last strength and became quiet.

"Master, what's going on?" The passenger next to him asked Liu Huiyang what was on his mind.

"The wheels are stuck in the mud. Build the road, build the road, build some fucking road!" the bus driver replied loudly, his words full of dissatisfaction with the road conditions on his route.

"What should we do?" asked an aunt in front.

"Get out of the car and give it a push, or you guys should get out of the car first and transfer." The driver opened the window and wiped the rearview mirror with a towel. In just a moment, half of the seats were soaked by the rain that came in. .

It was raining heavily and there was no bus stop on the roadside.

Even if there were, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to cover up the pouring rain.

Liu Huiyang instantly had the urge to curse.

"Come on, some gentlemen, please hurry up." Before the bus driver could speak, the aunt just now called enthusiastically.

In such bad weather, the bus was only half full.

Liu Huiyang took a look and saw that there were six people with handles, including himself, and one of them was also carrying a schoolbag.

"Let's go, let's give it a push." ​​The dark-skinned man didn't hesitate when he heard the aunt's words. As soon as he took off his sweatshirt, his upper body had no muscle lines, but he looked very strong.

Liu Huiyang secretly cried out that he was unlucky, but when other men walked towards the car door, he could only get up and help.

It’s raining when changing trains, and it’s raining when pushing a cart. The latter can also show off a bit of masculinity.

Outside the bus, the wind was roaring and the rain was pouring.

The five men were looking for stones to cushion the mud pit, and shouting slogans to push the back of the bus. After a lot of trouble, the bus started to move slowly.

Liu Huiyang got into the car again, his wet clothes clinging tightly to his skin, and his whole body was no longer spared from the inside out, from top to bottom.

Come on, you won't be nagging by your wife when you get home.

What made him even more aggrieved was that the driver did not show any thanks when he drove the car, while the aunt who had asked him to get out of the car happily chatted with the seat next to him.

The bus passed by one stop after another, and at one o'clock, the First Affiliated Hospital arrived.

Liu Huiyang got out of the car and found that the dark man pushing the cart was also heading to the hospital, but he was in no mood to say hello and only held an umbrella to avoid the rain.

"Brother, is this the outpatient building of the First Affiliated Hospital? It hasn't changed, right?" The swarthy man came over.

"Well, isn't that written?" Liu Huiyang pointed to the somewhat blurred words in the heavy rain.

"Oh." The swarthy man thanked him and quickened his pace towards the outpatient building.

Liu Huiyang twisted his face and walked behind.

Outside the outpatient clinic building, two security guards hid under the eaves, instructing the newly arrived people to wipe the mud off their shoes with cardboard boxes spread on the ground.

Liu Huiyang's mood was inexplicably worse.

He rubbed his shoes with a sullen expression, entered the outpatient hall, looked around, and then went to the registration window to queue up.

According to my previous experience of seeing a doctor here, queuing in the afternoon before going to work is the way to take the least time, but even so, there are already long queues in front of several windows.

Liu Huiyang took a breath and silently experienced the process of drying his clothes with his body temperature in the team.

"Hey, brother, can I get tickets at the window here?"

After a while, Liu Huiyang noticed that the dark-skinned man in the same car approached him from nowhere.

"Let's get in line." He said succinctly, and asked one more question, "Coming from out of town?"

"Yes, from Fengtai." The swarthy man smiled honestly and pointed at his stomach. "There is something wrong with your stomach. Come see an expert."

Liu Huiyang looked at the person next to him. He didn't say anything, but he said pitifully in his heart. Some people have to wait. There is a high probability that they will not be able to get in line today. It is raining heavily outside, and the weather will not be good tomorrow and next two days.

The queue at the window gradually meandered, and there were more and more dialects spoken in the crowd.

Liu Huiyang took his mother-in-law's ID card and was a little worried about whether he would be deducted for being late for work in the afternoon.

At 1:40 in the afternoon, the outpatient hall was already noisy.

Suddenly, a girl's clear voice rang.

"Those who registered online took their number at the computer."

"After taking your number, you'll have to wait in line to pay the registration fee."

The girl repeated it three times while walking in the clinic hall.

Liu Huiyang was wondering what "online registration" meant when he saw the dark-skinned man queuing next to him clapped his hands and said, "We're in the wrong line."

He watched the man turn around and say a few words to the young man behind him, and then followed the voice and walked in the direction of the computer.

Liu Huiyang was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the looming computer that was obscured by the crowd.

What is online registration?

Liu Huiyang didn't know what this meant, but he knew that he had never done anything related to it before coming here, so he kept looking back at the computer while queuing.

Finally, a nurse passed by, and Liu Huiyang quickly showed his ID card.

"Hey, nurse, nurse, what is online registration? Can I register here?"

The nurse glanced at the ID card and said, "It's the number you got by using the computer to go online. Did you register in advance? If not, just wait in line."

"Then can I get the number of gastroenterology experts today?" Liu Huiyang asked.

"It's too much," the nurse replied.

Liu Huiyang waved his hand in the direction of the computer: "Can I get an expert over there?"

The nurse was a little impatient, but she thought about the red Fuji she had for lunch and explained: "It's not a registration over there, it's a pick-up. The pick-up is a number that has been registered a few days in advance."

She said: "Do you know how to use a computer? You can ask over there after you have logged in. Someone can tell you how to log in using a computer."

"Yes, I know how to use it. There is a computer in my unit." Liu Huiyang said a little proudly, and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you."

The nurse said "It's okay" and left awkwardly.

Liu Huiyang glanced at the computer behind him again, suppressing his curiosity and continuing to queue.

At 2:40 in the afternoon, Liu Huiyang left the registration window. Sure enough, he was not registered as an expert, but only as the attending physician for the next day.

He didn't leave directly, but walked to the computer line.

"Hey, let's wait in line to get a number." A girl came over and said.

Liu Huiyang said quickly: "No, let me see how the online registration was registered? Is it the hospital's number?"

"Log in to the registration website, register an account, select a hospital department and see which day you can register. Once registered, come here on that day and enter the last three digits of your ID card and a three-digit number. Finally, pick up the number and pay the fee. ." The girl said with familiarity.

Liu Huiyang was a little confused.

The girl handed over a piece of paper and said, "Here is the registration process I mentioned. If you want to register in the future, just follow this."

Liu Huiyang looked down.

After a while, he asked seriously: "You mean, I can use the computer to register the hospital's number in advance, and then come to get the number and see the doctor on the same day?"

"Yes." The girl replied affirmatively.

Liu Huiyang's inherent experience was broken, and he asked: "What if I can't see the number after taking the number?"

The girl explained patiently: "You have already taken your number just now, now it's time to check in. Our registration website is official, otherwise we can't just lie here."

Liu Huiyang nodded and looked at the person who was taking the number.

There are two lines on the computer screen. Enter three numbers on the upper line and enter three numbers on the lower line.

Click "OK" and the page will change to registration information.

Click "Get Number" again, and the printer will automatically print out a registration slip.

Finally, the person took the list and went to wait for the doctor.

Liu Huiyang looked at the two people taking the numbers and felt that it was indeed very convenient. If he had known earlier that he could register like this, he would not have to push the cart in the heavy rain today!

He nodded secretly and asked the girl, "How much does your registration cost?"

"Only the registration fee, no extra money." The girl answered fluently. This was not the first time she answered such a question.

"Ah?" Liu Huiyang was surprised. He once again felt that this was a bit of a lie.

for free? Don’t you want money?

"Then why are you doing this?" Liu Huiyang couldn't help but ask.

There was a hint of shyness on the girl's face, and she coughed, thinking that she had asked that handsome senior brother the same question before, and replied in a low voice:

"To promote social progress."

"???"

Liu Huiyang left.

He felt that he might have a cat disease, or that this girl had a cat disease.

Or maybe this registration website is a bit sick.

In short, it’s just not quite right.

However, he folded up the process paper the girl gave him and put it in his inner pocket.

It's still raining. I might put the paper inside and look at it again when I go back.

When Liu Huiyang left the hospital, he was surprised to see the dark man in the same car again.

This time, he took the initiative to say hello:

"Hey, why did you come out?"

The swarthy man looked back, scratched his head, and said, "I feel sick after seeing you. I want to find a place to call the village and tell my wife that I will go back in two days."

Liu Huiyang was both surprised and expected. He asked, "What did the doctor say was wrong?"

"They asked me to do a gastroscopy. They said there should be no problem, but it's better to be on the safe side." The swarthy man replied.

Liu Huiyang nodded and suddenly felt something was wrong. He had to pass on the call...

He asked: "I see you took the number from the computer, how did you get the number?"

"My son's friend works in an Internet cafe in the county town. He said he can register without having to come." The swarthy man sighed, "It's great, it's so convenient. I brought my dad here to register a few years ago. But it’s troublesome, but the provincial capital is progressing faster, this is high technology.”

Liu Huiyang nodded with the pride of a provincial capital person: "Isn't it?"

He said goodbye to the man who was traveling with him.

When he got on the bus, Liu Huiyang couldn't help but take out the piece of paper, carefully read the step-by-step process, and wrote down the URL that was easy to remember.

The heavy rain outside the car didn't stop, and the clothes on my body were not completely dry.

Liu Huiyang put his umbrella at his feet. He was thinking about interceding for being late in the afternoon, and thinking about what happened during today's registration.

Finally, the young girl's somewhat shy words came to mind - for the betterment of society.

The corners of Liu Huiyang's mouth curled up.

I don’t know if it’s because of the girl’s shy expression or because of those innocent words.

…

On rainy days in autumn, eating hot pot together is a very warm choice.

"What does Teacher Liang mean? He wants to participate in both parties?"

Fang Zhuo asked Zhou Xin, who was frowning, while putting the mutton into the hot pot.

"The teacher said that he was very optimistic about the development of the registration network. Well, he told me after the class." Zhou Xin took a deep breath and continued, "He didn't say about buying shares. He was a senior brother of mine - he was also on the podium last time. Senior brother, he mentioned it to me."

Su Wei, who was putting the sauce next to her, couldn't help but hold her head and complained: "What's going on? Why does everyone want some shares?"

"Ha, do you want a few points or a lot?" Fang Zhuo said with a smile.

Su Wei glanced at Fang Zhuo, who had a normal expression, then turned to Zhou Xin and asked, "How much can your teacher pay?"

week Can help better.”

Several people around the hot pot looked at each other and said they wouldn't pay for it.

Yu Hong said angrily: "Shameless! You don't get even a dime! At least the school can still pay 10,000 yuan!"

Su Wei had already told several people that the school wanted to become a shareholder.

"Liang Min didn't say anything himself, but let his students say that he didn't want to pay for even a little money. How could this happen? It's too dark." Su Wei was indignant, "Look at him, he looks very handsome and elegant."

"Ha, not necessarily." Fang Zhuo picked up a piece of mutton and said with a smile, "Eat, eat, eat everything. While eating, I said, it's raining today, it's a bit cool."

Su Wei didn't move her chopsticks and asked, "Why not necessarily?"

Fang Zhuo chewed the mutton and said with a smile: "Don't say it is normal operation in person, so there is room for maneuver. As for not paying, it may not be possible. Lao Liang first asked the student to express that he would not pay, so that we would be willing to help him, and then, When we communicated face to face, he proposed that he must pay for it..."

He continued: "This will make the impression much better, and the resentment that a group of students may have disappeared. However, I don't know how much value this registration network has in Lao Liang's heart."

The three people sitting were stunned, their eyes intertwined. This... is it only the dark-hearted people who know what similar people think?

Fang Zhuo picked up two more pieces of mutton: "I'm really looking forward to how much money Lao Liang can offer."

Yu Hong glared: "Do you want this money?"

"It depends on how much it is. Business matters are not like this. If the school comes up and offers 10,000 and 40%, there is no need to talk about it." Fang Zhuo shrugged, "If Lao Liang offers 1,000,000 and 10%, I will sign immediately. .”

"Hey, how is that possible?" Yu Hong disdainfully.

Fang Zhuo looked up and saw that Xiao Zhou's expression was a little sad.

He didn't say anything to comfort him, but just told him: "Xiao Zhou, if Lao Liang doesn't take the initiative to talk to you, don't talk to him about this matter. Just hold off for now. After all, there isn't much traffic over there in the province, and it won't be good for the hospital if it's gone." Has little effect."

Zhou Xin asked: "What if the teacher comes to see me?"

"It's too late." Old God Fang Zhuo was there, "Just say I have no money and go home to raise money. Or, you can just say I go home to get married."

Su Wei pursed her lips: "It's okay to delay. How long can it be delayed?"

"We'll wait until we go to Lin'an to hold an Internet conference. We'll talk about it then." Fang Zhuo smiled, "Xiao Zhou, isn't Lao Liang going too? Then I'll talk to him face to face."

"Eat hot pot, eat hot pot, this damn weather."

Fang Zhuohun said hello nonchalantly, his face looking blurry in the steaming heat of the hot pot.
