Chapter 33 Daily Life in a Nursing Home
"Hehe, Mr. Chen, aren't you afraid I might accidentally slip up?"
Zhang Yang saw that Old Lady Chen suddenly grinned, walked over leisurely, raised his arm to support her, and asked softly.
The primary task now is to raise the favorability rating of everyone in the nursing home to 60, and Old Mrs. Chen is no exception.
It's already 59 points, I have to give it my all.
"Oh, you accidentally clicked?"
The old lady squinted at him, then gently placed her hand on the back of his hand: "Isn't that perfect? This old woman is worried about having no one to take care of her in her later years."
"Hehe, is it really that serious? Weren't you a big star before?"
Zhang Yang used his hand to lift the old lady up, continuing to tease her, "Well, although she's a bit old, she should still be able to outshine all the other women when she goes out."
"What, are you worried about not finding a sucker to support you, old man?"
He wasn't entirely against his conscience when he said that.
Although the old lady has a full head of white hair and looks about 70 years old, she takes good care of herself and you can still tell that she must have been a great beauty when she was young.
She usually pays attention to her image, and her hairstyle and clothing are always quite exquisite.
Add to that her elegant demeanor, and Zhang Yang estimated that even without her celebrity status, she could easily charm a group of old men.
"Pah! What do you mean 'a bit old'!"
The old woman spat at him in annoyance: "Haven't you heard that a woman is most beautiful at eighty? Besides, I'm not even eighty yet!"
"Huh, eighty? I think it's eighteen?"
"Eighteen is like a flower bud!"
"Okay, okay, you're right, you are one of those eighty-one flowers!"
"Nonsense, that's exactly right."
After exchanging a few words, Zhang Yang helped the old lady towards the door, saying, "Why don't you hurry up and find a pile of cow dung, you beautiful flower?"
"You brat, you're the one looking for cow dung!"
With a loud slap, Old Mrs. Chen raised her hand and struck him on the back of the head: "Why would I bother with a bunch of stinking men like you!"
The old lady tilted her head back, looking smug, and said, "I'd rather live alone in a nursing home; it's so peaceful and carefree."
"Mr. Chen, I haven't done anything to offend you, have I?"
Zhang Yang grimaced and rubbed his head:
"What do you mean by 'we bunch of stinky men'? I'm a kind-hearted, helpful man, okay? Otherwise, why would I be helping you?"
"Hehe, they're all pretty much the same, they're all just glib talkers who never tell the truth."
The old lady chuckled: "Didn't you say yesterday you wanted to learn opera from me? Where are you now?"
"Uh..." This hit Zhang Yang's weak spot. He shrank back, quickly helped the old lady into the elevator, and then turned and ran.
They're already trying to avoid her, how could they dare to go to her door again?
"Mr. Chen, I have to go on rounds with Director Li, so I'm sorry to have to go now!"
Watching Zhang Yang turn around and flee without looking back, leaving behind a single sentence, Old Mrs. Chen couldn't help but smile slightly as she stood at the elevator entrance.
"Little monkey, trying to escape? I'd like to see if you can escape from this old woman's grasp."
Feeling quite pleased with herself, the old lady hummed a song as she entered the elevator.
"Let's go, let's go check on the patients..."
Zhang Yang ran back to Li Xiaoyun's side, still shaken.
However, when he saw the system notification that popped up in front of him, he couldn't help but grin.
Two more management points secured!
Well, if it's 100 yuan for helping someone up, that's not out of the question, hehe...
+1+1+1~
After seeing Grandma Chen downstairs, Zhang Yang followed Li Xiaoyun and continued his rounds in the building.
Helping the elderly get up and have breakfast, helping them wash and change clothes, tidying their rooms and bedding, and preparing their daily medications...
Thanks to Zhang Yang's positive attitude, the increase in his management points in the system never really stopped during this period.
A notification message will pop up every now and then.
However, there are only fifteen elderly people living in the nursing home in total.
Moreover, many elderly people are able to take care of themselves, so they actually finish tidying up and go downstairs to eat before Li Xiaoyun even arrives.
So, after spending almost an hour inspecting all the rooms on both floors, Zhang Yang tallied up the management points and found that he had only gained 20 points in total…
However, completing the ward rounds is just the beginning; it doesn't mean the morning's nursing work is over.
After confirming that all the elderly people had gotten up, Li Xiaoyun took him downstairs to the cafeteria without stopping.
Zhou Jianling was replaced and allowed to go back to rest. Then, the staff began to check on the elderly people's meals.
Grandma Zhang has to coax him from time to time because the old man can't eat on his own, so she has to feed him spoonful by spoonful.
We also need to check whether elderly people with chronic diseases are eating according to their customized diet plans...
After breakfast, I also have to supervise the elderly to make sure they take their medication after the meal.
Then we also had to cooperate with Dr. Lu, who was stationed at the hospital, to conduct routine physical examinations on them one by one, taking their temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate.
By the time all these things were finished, it was already past 9 a.m.
Only then did it get to them eat breakfast.
"Is the hospital this busy every day?"
Drinking the now-cold congee and eating the somewhat soggy fried dough sticks, Zhang Yang couldn't help but ask a question.
"Hmm... the early shift is the busiest..."
Li Xiaoyun ate her breakfast in a whirlwind, mumbling, "Dean, eat quickly, we'll be busy later."
"what?"
Zhang Yang's hand, holding the fried dough stick, froze in mid-air: "I've been busy all morning, is there still something left to do?"
I got up at six o'clock and have been working almost non-stop for more than three hours now.
Although the workload was much lighter than working at a bubble tea shop, Zhang Yang felt that the psychological pressure was even greater than when he worked his previous part-time job after a few hours.
After all, before, all I had to do was follow the steps and do the work. At most, there would just be more customers and I would be a little busier.
Now, when dealing with these elderly people, we have to take care of them getting up, eating, taking their medicine, and getting them checked out, and we have to pay attention to their reactions at all times.
Especially looking at Grandma Gu and Grandma Zhang, Zhang Yang felt a heavy weight in his heart.
Even the slightest movement was too much for fear of disturbing them.
After those four hours, he felt more tired than if he had worked a whole day before.
Hearing Li Xiaoyun say that she would be busy later, he was quite surprised.
"Of course."
Li Xiaoyun hurriedly stuffed the remaining half of the bun into her mouth: "After breakfast, we need to take the elderly out for some exercise and let them get some sunshine while the weather is nice."
"Then I'll have to watch them eat lunch and then take them to their afternoon nap..."
"There's still a lot to do..."
"Okay, then I'll eat quickly."
Zhang Yang nodded helplessly and quickly buried his head in his food.
Looking at the management points displayed in the window in front of him, he gave a wry smile.
30 points, 150 yuan...
It seems that obtaining this control point isn't so easy after all...
