Chapter 75 (1/2)
”Which way?” Aoki asked.
The man smiled and saw a cigarette on the green wood table. He reached out to get it.
Director Liu patted the back of his hand and scolded, ”Hey, you really don't take yourself as an outsider! This is not your home!”
The man withdrew his hand, looked wronged, squatted down in the corner, folded his arms and stopped talking.
Director Liu shook his head, sighed and said, ”don't be surprised, Mr. Aoki. There's something wrong with his mind!”
”I'm all right!” the squatting man argued.
”Shut up!” director Liu scolded and said to Aoki, ”His name is Liu Huai'an. He is also an old neighborhood of Liuying lane. It's a pity that his family was burned down in a fire more than 20 years ago. He is the only one left. Probably stimulated, he has become crazy since then. He says he is psychic all day, knows people there, and doesn't know which side he says is.”
Director Liu did not shy away from Liu Huai'an. Liu Huai'an seemed to be used to hearing people talk about his family. In addition to always arguing that ”I have no problem”, he squatted quietly in the corner and listened.
Aoki picked up the cigarette box on the table, threw it twice, threw out half a cigarette and motioned Liu Huaian to come and get it.
Liu Huai'an walked over with a cat on his waist and half squatting. He looked at director Liu again. Seeing that she had no objection, he stretched out three fingers to smoke out. When he saw that there was still a small half of cigarettes in the cigarette box exposed outside, he clamped the cigarette on his ear, took another one, and walked back with a smile.
Aoki asked director Liu, ”haven't you seen it in the hospital?”
Director Liu said: ”Yes, why didn't you go? At the beginning, I wandered around the street like I lost my soul. I took a knife and gave it to others when I saw people. I said I had some chips in my body and asked someone to take it out for him. Who can stand this? Everyone forced him to go to the seventh hospital. But the hospital asked for money? I can't always ask the neighbors to raise money to hospitalize him. Who is it these days I didn't pick up my money! Later, I saw that he didn't have a big deal. The hospital said he wasn't seriously ill and came out. ”
”What about now?”
”Now it's much better than before. A few years ago, the street also helped him find a job. He did a good job cleaning in the supermarket. But he hid and smoked secretly and lit someone's warehouse. Fortunately, he found it in time, otherwise he would have caused a big disaster!”
When director Liu said this, he glared at Liu Huai'an. Liu Huai'an, who was smoking, squatted in the corner and moved his body, not looking at director Liu's face.
”Since then, the streets have dared not arrange work for him. Who dares to ask him? Now they are idling around all day and living on the subsidies issued by the government.”
”Do you mean...?” Aoki doesn't understand why director Liu came to him with Liu Huaian.
This is a community mental health consulting room, not a psychiatric consulting room. He is only a part-time job here for psychological counseling and counseling. Psychological counselors are not psychiatrists and can't prescribe drugs. Logically, such places can't receive psychiatric patients, and Liu Huaian's mental illness that has lasted for decades has been difficult to recover, and the treatment is of little significance.
”Oh, yes...” director Liu looked a little embarrassed, ”As you know, the assessment of the community is becoming more and more strict. Environmental protection, people's livelihood and employment should be taken into account. We have a big head for Liu Huaian. Our mental appraisal can't meet the disability standard, and we can't find a job. Alas, a mouse excrement spoils a pot of porridge. We regret the banner of Liuying lane, an advanced community!”
Director Liu talked a lot. Aoki still didn't hear what he meant. Instead, Liu Huaian said, ”she wants me to work there.”
Aoki was stunned: ”what?”
Director Liu scolded, ”shut up! I didn't let you talk!” then he smiled at Aoki, ”yes, it's not... In fact, I mean... You're a psychologist, right? Show him if you can keep him down. If you can keep him down, let him work in Huahua bar in the future. Whatever you do, your bar has expanded, but you have to recruit workers anyway?”
Aoki realized that sister Liu beat around the Bush to make Ruhua bar accept Liu Huaian as a burden.
”Well... I can't be the master,” Aoki said.
”I know Huahua, and she listens to you.” director Liu said with a smile, ”let's have a look first and see if he can control it. I'll talk about Huahua.”
As soon as Aoki wanted to say that it was not a matter of whether he could live or not, director Liu stood up: ”well, I still have something to do. There are a lot of things waiting for me in the community. You talk first...”
