Chapter 29 Handover
6 a.m. the next morning...
The morning sunlight slanted into the stairwell, casting dappled shadows that seemed to drape the old house in a thin veil...
"morning!"
Zhang Yang, dressed in his best and looking energetic, pushed open the door and greeted Li Xiaoyun, who was washing up.
After giving his statement at the police station yesterday, he rushed to the mall for a big shopping spree.
They finally managed to buy all his daily necessities, including all his clothes, pants, shoes, and so on.
After spending several hundred yuan, he was amazed at how low prices were these days; a hundred yuan could buy several large bags of things.
If this happened in the future, a hundred yuan could be spent in the blink of an eye just by buying some vegetables, snacks, and drinks at the market or supermarket.
In the end, you won't even know where the money went.
The new clothes I bought were washed in the laundry room downstairs last night. The early autumn weather is dry, and they were completely dry after hanging on the balcony outside his house overnight.
So today he looks completely refreshed.
In addition, since he can't watch short videos at night now, Grandma Chen didn't sing to him in the middle of the night anymore, so he slept quite well that night.
So even though he got up earlier today, his mental state was completely different from yesterday.
More importantly, changing into all these new clothes gave him a vague feeling that this was a new chapter in his life...
Good morning, Dean!
No one was making any noises in the middle of the night last night, and Li Xiaoyun's demeanor was noticeably different. She put down the towel and greeted him with a smile.
Happy, 52...
Upon seeing the two lines of text above her head, Zhang Yang's lips unconsciously curled up.
A great future is in sight!
Today is only the third day, and Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Xu's favorability rating has already exceeded 60.
Old Mrs. Chen was almost fifty, and Mr. Zhou and this Director Li were also over fifty...
If I work hard for a few more days, I'll be able to complete my main quest!
Then the car and the money, hehehe...
"By the way, Director Li, when do we start ward rounds?"
Thinking of something happy, Zhang Yang squeezed toothpaste onto his toothbrush and turned to Li Xiaoyun, asking her with a smile.
After returning yesterday, he mentioned to Li Xiaoyun that they would go on rounds together this morning to help out and also to check on the condition of the elderly residents in the facility.
I also need to learn some first aid knowledge from her.
Seeing his enthusiastic attitude, Li Xiaoyun was surprised but readily agreed.
After all, there are only four caregivers in the hospital, and their work is quite tiring. It would definitely be a good thing to have someone help share the burden.
Her surprise stemmed mainly from not expecting Zhang Yang, as the dean, to be so proactive.
In addition, although yesterday's meeting did not immediately solve the problem of the nursing home's lack of funds, at least it provided a direction and gave us hope.
Therefore, taking both factors into account, her current level of affection for Zhang Yang has increased dramatically.
"We can go after you've finished washing up."
Li Xiaoyun wiped her face, turned to look at Zhang Yang, and suddenly her expression turned serious: "However, Dean, we need to make this clear beforehand: I won't treat you as my superior during rounds."
"Everyone must follow my instructions, and if anything goes wrong, I will criticize them accordingly."
You'd better think this through beforehand.
"No problem!" Zhang Yang patted his chest and assured him.
He understands that when it comes to professional matters, you should definitely listen to the professionals.
Besides, his main purpose in joining the room patrol was to gain management points, and also to see if he could increase the favorability rating.
It's not like I'm trying to show off my authority as the dean in front of my subordinates.
Naturally, they would have no objection to this.
"Okay, Dean, hurry up, Sister Ling is still waiting for us downstairs."
Seeing his confident expression, Li Xiaoyun nodded, and the favorability rating above her head rose a little more to 53.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yang's spirits lifted. "It's rising so fast?"
If that's the case, wouldn't I be able to reach level 60 today? Could they give me another task?
With that thought, his hands moved even faster.
I quickly brushed my teeth, rinsed and wrung out the towel, haphazardly wiped my face a few times, and that was it.
Just as he was about to turn around and pack his things, Li Xiaoyun grabbed him!
Wash your hands thoroughly!
The little girl looked at him, her face contorted with utter disgust: "How can you be so unhygienic!"
"We still need to take care of the elderly people in the nursing home later. They are old and have weak immune systems. How can you not wash your hands properly?"
As she spoke, she pointed to the sulfur soap on the sink: "Wash yourself properly with soap!"
"oh oh……"
Faced with Li Xiaoyun, who had clearly already settled into her role as head nurse, Zhang Yang didn't dare say anything more.
He quickly picked up the sulfur soap and carefully rubbed it on his hands.
"Yes, you need to rub your palms and the backs of your hands, and even between your fingers..."
The little girl nodded in satisfaction: "Also, you need to trim your nails more often. Look how long they've grown."
"Hmm... is this okay?"
The other person's argument was reasonable and well-founded, so Zhang Yang didn't dare to refute it and could only obediently wash his hands and ask a question.
"Okay, let's go."
Seeing that he had finished washing his hands, Li Xiaoyun did not deliberately make things difficult for him. She nodded and led him downstairs.
"The hospital has three shifts: morning, afternoon, and night. The morning shift is from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., the afternoon shift is until 10 p.m., and the night shift..."
As they went downstairs, Li Xiaoyun explained the work of a caregiver to him.
"Besides me, the other four caregivers work in shifts, each shift lasting two days before the next shift begins."
"After working two night shifts, you'll have two days off."
"Besides you, there's only one other person in the class?"
"Well, most of the elderly residents in the facility are able to take care of themselves, so the workload isn't too heavy, and we're just managing to keep up with the staff..."
The two talked as they walked downstairs to the caregiver station. Li Xiaoyun pushed open the door: "Sister Ling, I'm here. Have you and Sister Xia finished the handover? How did things go last night?"
Inside the room, a middle-aged woman in a caregiver's uniform stood up upon hearing the voice: "Director, you're here. Last night... Oh, good morning, Dean."
Seeing Zhang Yang follow Li Xiaoyun in, she quickly bowed and looked rather reserved.
"It's alright, he's here to participate in nursing work as well today, Sister Ling, just treat him as a colleague."
Seeing this, Li Xiaoyun offered a word of comfort, then turned to Zhang Yang and explained again:
"Sister Ling is the longest-serving caregiver in our facility. She's been here longer than me, and she's always very conscientious and responsible in her work."
"If there's anything I can't do while I'm here, you can go directly to her."
"Hello, Sister Ling. I hope you'll take care of me in the future."
Seeing the words "helpless" above the other person's head and the person nervously twisting the hem of their clothes, Zhang Yang quickly stepped forward and greeted them with a smile.
He had felt similarly before, so of course he wouldn't deliberately put on airs this time.
Seeing Zhang Yang's gentle attitude, Zhou Jianling felt much more relaxed.
She was from the countryside and didn't have any special skills, but she was hardworking and diligent.
Although working at the nursing home is hard and the pay is low, it includes room and board.
She basically doesn't have to spend any money working here, and she can save most of the money she earns and send it back to her hometown. She can earn about seven or eight thousand yuan a year, which is not bad.
She certainly didn't want to give up this job, so she couldn't help feeling a little nervous when she saw Zhang Yang, the new dean.
After exchanging a few brief pleasantries at the caregiver station, Li Xiaoyun immediately got to work, checking the handover records with Zhou Jianling.
"...Old Gu was fine last night, but Aunt Chen didn't sleep very well..."
"What exactly is the situation?"
"I've already written it down in the logbook. She kept talking in her sleep, mostly about her son and her husband..."
After the handover officially began, Zhang Yang witnessed another side of Li Xiaoyun at work: serious and meticulous.
Every record of the elderly must be carefully checked, without letting up for a moment.
"We must conduct one patrol during the night shift handover and another patrol at 2 a.m., and keep detailed records."
After checking the records with Zhou Jinling, Li Xiaoyun turned back to Zhang Yang and explained, "These records need to be carefully checked every time we hand over shifts."
"This is the only way to detect problems in a timely manner."
"Mhm!" Zhang Yang nodded quickly upon hearing this.
When he used to work, he would often want to curse his heartless boss, complaining that there was never enough work to do and his wages would never increase.
But now that he's in charge, he looks at Li Xiaoyun as if he's discovered a rare treasure.
She's highly capable, has a serious work ethic, and doesn't ask for a raise...
What a top-tier beast!
Management point +1, +1...
Just as Li Xiaoyun was speaking, several lines of numbers slowly appeared before his eyes.
2 o'clock……
A smile appeared on Zhang Yang's face as he watched the number of management points rise.
They arrived so quickly?
These management points seem pretty easy to obtain?
