Chapter 34 Life and death are not easy
Kang Qirui was still thinking about the issue of public medical care until he took a bath at night. After all, this matter was quite important. Kang Qirui sighed and decided to talk to Ayao one last time. .
After making the decision, Kang Qirui quickly dried his body, got dressed, and went to Ayao's door and knocked, "Third brother and three sister-in-law, Arui, please let me in for a chat. "
Xingzi responded inside, and after a while he opened the door and welcomed Kang Qirui into the room, "Arui, it's so late, what's wrong?" Looked over.
It was so late that Kang Qirui didn’t want to be verbose, so he went straight to the point: “As for the medical certificate, I think the third brother should pay more attention to it. The first one is to give it to other people and take advantage of the public. Your professional ethics has been criticized. Secondly, it will be very conspicuous to use the medical expenses for the whole family. Your body is a capital, and it will give people a sick feeling. Who dares to use you, especially at this critical moment for your promotion? How many eyes are staring at you.”
Ah Yao finally came to his senses. Today, the leader of the bureau said that he has a bright future because the medical expenses in his department are the lowest. At that time, the leader also used the saying that the body is capital.
However, he had promised everyone, and now he was too embarrassed to say that he would not use it for everyone, so he looked at Kang Qirui with a pleading look. At this time, Sachiko was the one to speak, "Arui, Brother You has agreed to everyone, so what should we do?”
Kang Qirui thought for a while and said, “Old Dou just went to get some herbal tea when he got the medical certificate. This is still okay, a dose of herbal tea. It doesn’t cost much. It’s okay for us Guangfu people to make some herbal tea and drink it occasionally. If others want to use it, just say that the medical certificate has a photo and it can’t be used.”
“But I was tired when I was eating just now. Didn't Dou say he has an acquaintance in the hospital?" A Yao recalled Lao Dou's words.
"Just explain the situation directly to Lao Dou. Lao Dou knows that this is related to your promotion and will definitely support you. If you are too embarrassed to refuse everyone, let Lao Dou come out to be the villain. No one dares to do it anyway. Don't listen to Lao Dou." Kang Qirui gave Ayao advice and asked him to make it clear to Lao Dou directly. With Lao Dou's character, he would definitely be willing to do this. Lao Dou is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and his son's affairs will never matter. is the most important.
Ayao and Sachiko looked at each other and thought this method was good. Kang Qirui saw that Ayao had woken up, so he said goodbye and left. Ayao and Xingzi sent Kang Qirui out of the room with words of gratitude.
Ayao went to explain the situation to Lao Dou early the next morning. As Kang Qirui expected, Lao Dou immediately agreed upon hearing that this was probably related to the promotion of his third son. At noon, he announced to the whole family that his acquaintances in the hospital could not handle the photo of the medical certificate. Everyone was disappointed to hear that Ayao’s medical certificate could not be used to see a doctor, but there was no other way but to give up. .
Kang Qirui has two classes every Wednesday morning and needs to arrive at school before 8 o'clock. So Kang Qirui got up very early that day. After washing, he was ready to go to work. Then he saw Ayao and Sachiko in their pajamas chatting with their old lady in the living room.
"What's the matter? What are you talking about so early in the morning?" Kang Qirui asked curiously.
“Sachiko Yuzuo.” The old woman smiled so hard that her teeth were almost blinded.
"Youzuo? Third sister-in-law is pregnant?" Kang Qirui saw Sachiko nodding shyly, and said to Ayao: "Congratulations, third brother, double happiness is here, hahaha."
"Beautiful boy, what double happiness? Huh? "Ayao was still a little confused early in the morning. Early in the morning, his wife told him that she hadn't been here for a long time and that she was pregnant. At this time, she was still immersed in happiness and her mind was blank.
"My career is about to be promoted, and my love has crystallized again. Isn't this a double happiness?" Kang Qirui explained, and then joked: "The last time I talked about inviting everyone to dinner, when did the third brother Arrangements?"
Sachiko stopped being polite and said generously: "Arrangements, arrangements. Let's go have a meal when everyone has a break in a few days."
"Okay. "Congratulations again to the third brother and the third sister-in-law. No more words, I'm going to work." Kang Qirui said congratulations again when he saw that it was almost time and went out.
A Yao, who was blessed with double happiness, was full of joy for several days in a row. Even when he was brushing his teeth in the morning, he was singing, but the singing was a bit unpleasant. This kid Tianxiu complained that it was too bad and even ran away without eating breakfast. However, Kang Qirui reasonably suspected that Tianxiu just didn't want to have breakfast.
This joyful atmosphere lasted until Friday. Kang Qirui, who came home from get off work, saw Ayao sitting on the sofa with a black face, as if he was not allowed to approach strangers.
"Third brother, what happened? You look very bad." Kang Qirui asked.
"Hey, isn't Sachiko pregnant? I've been getting a birth certificate these two days. But the street office said that I hadn't watched the pre-marriage education film, and then said that I had an empty household registration. I thought Go to the housing management department of your unit and write a certificate. The section chief asked for leave again today. Are you telling me how unlucky I am?" Ayao felt bitter when he saw Kang Qirui asking.
However, these words made Kang Qirui more and more confused the more he listened, "What kind of pre-marriage education film is this?"
"She asked me if I had seen it, and I said no, and she asked me to go back and watch it before driving it." A Yao complained.
"What about the empty account and certificate? Tell me more specifically." Kang Qirui continued to ask.
"Xingzi's household registration is not in the house of her relatives, but in Yuexiu. You know, the educational resources there are so good. I just want to put our The child’s household registration is also in Yuexiu. But the street office there refused to apply for it, saying that we don’t live in Yuexiu. Then our unit’s housing allocation is also in Yuexiu District, so I thought about going back to the unit to apply for a housing allocation certificate. " A Yao told the truth.
Kang Qirui couldn't help but shook his head, his third brother was really speechless. You are not shrewd when you should be shrewd, and you are full of calculations when you should not be shrewd. When people ask you if you have watched educational films, just say you have. And coveting the educational resources of Yuexiu, I want to hang up my account and go there. I don’t know what I think. Who dares to do it for you?
"Third brother, why don't you apply for a birth certificate here? What's wrong with you taking advantage of the public?" Kang Qirui advised.
Before Ayao could think of how to express his position, Xingzi walked out, "Don't think about it, I'm here, I'm not pregnant."
"Ah? Do you know what I've been doing these past two days? How tiring is this matter? Ayao exploded when he heard about it. He was already angry when he failed to apply for the certificate, but now he is even more angry when he says he is not pregnant. Isn’t this in vain?
"You said it?" So what's the fire for? Is there anything I can do? Just treat it like a rehearsal. "Xingzi also became angry. After scolding him, he went back to the room. Ayao smiled awkwardly at Kang Qirui and then chased into the room to coax his wife.
Bang bang bang.
Weekend Early in the morning, Kang Qirui woke up with a knock on the door. Kang Qirui had no choice but to get up and open the door. When he saw the old woman's eyes were red and she looked like she had just cried, Kang Qirui's anger suddenly disappeared. He asked worriedly: “Mom, what’s wrong? Are you okay? ”
"Arui, get up quickly. My aunt passed away early in the morning. Let's go see her off for the last time." The old woman said in a very low tone.
The aunt mentioned by the old lady is named Cen Azhen. She is the aunt of the old lady and the sister of Grandma Kang Qirui. She has never married and has no children. In the past few years, several relatives have hired nannies to take care of her. In Kang Qirui's memory, when she was very young, her aunt said that she was 89 years old, but now she is probably not even 100 years old.
So he comforted the old mother: "Mom, I remember that my aunt is almost 100 years old. According to ancient rituals, this is a funeral, so we can't cry."
"It's just for others. Mourning is also a matter of mourning, and there is no time for mourning. What is the point of joy? As for those who are happy in mourning, they are happy that the deceased has both happiness and longevity.
When we arrived at my aunt’s house, my mother-in-law, as the closest relative, took charge of the overall situation. Kang Qirui accompanied the old lady to welcome the guests, while Ah Yao was arranged to apply for a death certificate. Only after obtaining the death certificate can he go to the funeral parlor for cremation.
As a result, Ayao left without looking back and did not come back for several hours. The old lady had no choice but to let Kang Qirui go out to find Ayao. Kang Qirui found Ayao at the door of the police station, "Third brother, how are you? Is it done?"
"What should I do? I don't know how to fill in the cause of death. If I don't get sick in the future, I can't do it." I dare to die." A Yao looked unhappy.
"What's going on? Speak slowly." Kang Qirui asked Ayao to calm down and explain in detail what was going on.
The time went back to three hours ago.
Ayao brought her aunt's ID card to the police station and found the office. After knocking on the door and entering, she greeted politely: "Comrade, I would like to ask. Is the 'death certificate' issued here? ”
"Yes, yes, it's done here. Please sit down first." The certificate processing officer said politely. "It's like this, my aunt passed away this morning." A Yao said directly after sitting down.
"Age, name." The certification officer took out the application form and asked.
"My name is Cen Azhen, and my age seems to be 89 years old." A Yao said uncertainly.
"What does it look like? Can you check it out more clearly? Otherwise it will be very troublesome, you know?" The certificate officer was unhappy.
"No problem, I have her ID card." Ayao said as he took out his aunt's ID card.
"What was the cause of death? Was it a car accident? Was it burned? Or was it poisoning?" The certificate processing officer was used to seeing people coming to apply for death certificates, so he asked in a numb and emotionless voice.
"No, she just fell asleep and never woke up again. She should be called dead." A Yao replied.
"End without any disease? What does it mean to die without any disease?" The certificate processing officer still had an emotionless tone.
"It is true that she died without any disease. My aunt is in good health, but she is too old, almost 100 years old." Ayao explained in a panic.
"Hey, hey, you just said she was 89 years old? How old is she?" The certificate officer was confused by A Yao.
"I'm sorry, I remembered it wrong. The certificate shall prevail." Ayao handed over his aunt's ID card.
"How could she remember so many things wrong? Do you honestly think she has any property? The tone of the certificate officer changed for the first time, and he asked A Yao with suspicion.
" She doesn’t have any property, so several of our relatives usually find nannies to take care of her. "
"What about the house where she lives? Is it your relatives' or her property? ”
"That's her property. But we don't want her property." Ayao quickly explained.
"We can't apply for this certificate for you. We can't write that the person died without a cause of death in the cause of death column." The certificate officer found a reason to reject Ayao.
“Why can’t you fill it in?” Ayao was confused.
"Of course not. I see that you have also read books. If someone asks you how this person died, you say he has no disease. No disease means no disease. Take no disease As the cause of death, then I’m not sick, so I’m going to die?”
“Then don’t fill it in, leave it blank”
"Empty? I can't leave it empty. It will be very troublesome in the future."
After listening to Ayao's story, Kang Qirui couldn't help rolling his eyes and said helplessly: "My good three Brother, this is what you have been doing for five years.”
Ayao was unconvinced, “What does this have to do with it?”
“You still don’t know how the government agencies work. Just like you, you can’t tell your aunt’s age with your ID card, but you clearly have property but you don’t have any. Who knows what kind of relationship you have with your aunt’s property? Huh? Should I take this responsibility with you?"
Kang Qirui was speechless. No wonder Ayao had been working in the agency for a lifetime, but now he couldn't even become a director. At this level? Kang Qirui shook his head and said: "Where was it done? Take me there."
Ayao didn't think his brother could do it if he went there, but he still took Kang Qirui to the police station.
"Comrade, I'm really sorry just now. This is my third brother. He has a very good relationship with my aunt. He is still sad and sad now, so he is doing things in a panic. Don't mind." Kang Qi Rui came up and apologized first, blaming the sudden incident on his third brother's panicked behavior.
“Oh, I understand, please forgive me!” the certificate officer comforted.
“Comrade, I would like to ask, what is the process of this death certificate?” Kang Qirui cut through the mess quickly.
“If you die in a hospital, the hospital will issue a diagnosis certificate; if you die at home, go to the street or village committee or issue a normal death certificate; if you die abnormally, such as in an accident, you will have to The public security and judicial department will issue a certificate," the certificate officer said, pointing to the process board on the wall.
"That means we have to go to the street to issue a certificate first, and then you can apply for a death certificate when we come back, right?" Kang Qirui was still polite.
"Yes, yes, hurry up. We get off work on time." The certificate officer urged them to go to the street quickly.
Kang Qirui thanked him and left with Ayao. After leaving the house, he said to Ayao: "Third brother, don't the people who go to your place to apply for certificates have the same attitude as I did just now?" Ayao nodded. It was indeed like this. Some of them were even worse than his brother's attitude just now. humble.
"I see you are just floating. You don't know the suffering in the world." Kang Qirui commented as he walked.
"What are you talking about? Where did I go?" Ayao was still confused.
"Yes, you are the deputy section chief of the Foreign Trade Office. When any boss comes to you, they have to be polite and beg you. Especially since you are the deputy section chief, they are more humble towards you. But outside of your unit, who knows? Who are you? Who cares who you are? Do you think you are the chief of the department? If you ask someone to do something for you, you will get angry and panic, but you are my brother. I'll say it bluntly, if you do this, it's the end of the minor course. You can think about it yourself."
After finishing speaking, Kang Qirui didn't care about Ayao's livid face and walked into the street to do his own business. Go get a certificate.
I have been busy with my aunt's funeral for the two weekends. Fortunately, there is no class on Monday, so Kang Qirui can take a rest. Ayao went back to his room when he got off work and didn't come out for dinner. Everyone had to ask Sachiko, who said that Ayao's promotion was ruined.
The leaders of his work unit found out about his cross-regional connections to apply for a birth certificate. In particular, he went to the housing management department to try to get a certificate for housing allocation, which made a big fuss. There are only so many rooms. If you divide them, you can't separate them. . Everyone was in a quarrel over the house, saying that there was a shady secret behind the allocation of houses. Otherwise, why would Kang Qiyao not come out with the house allocation policy? He would be able to prove the allocation of houses. This is not a shady secret.
In the end, they had to cancel A Yao's promotion to appease others. Kang Qirui couldn't help but shook his head. Everyone's destiny is truly God's will.
