Transmigrated to the 1960s, Li Chu only wanted to lay low and live a safe, peaceful life.
...Li Chu spent the entire afternoon writing and drawing in the clinic.
As it was almost time to leave work, I finally put down my pen, looked at the pile of discarded papers on the table, and shook my head helplessly.
The idea is good, but actually making it happen will be incredibly difficult. Let's take it slow.
After tidying up the table and washing his hands, Li Chu took down the satchel from the wall and picked up the cloth bag containing his military uniform, preparing to go pick up his child.
When he walked out of the consultation room, Ding Qiunan had just finished her work and was walking out of the outpatient hall.
After picking up the kids, on the way back, the two little ones took turns checking to see if they could go see Xiaobai and the puppy when they got home.
Only after Li Chu and Ding Qiunan reassured them repeatedly did they happily hold hands and run home.
As soon as I entered the house, good heavens, before I even had a chance to change my shoes, I was dragged to the study.
Li Chu still didn't allow Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua to go in, and only took the two children into the study.
Wenhui and Wenxuan squatted beside Xiaobai's den, looking with curiosity at the four puppies huddled together.
Just as Wen Hui was about to grab the puppy, Li Chu blocked her hand.
"Huihui, what did Daddy just tell you? You can't touch the puppy."
"Why can't I move?" Xiao Wenhui looked at Li Chu pitifully.
"The mother dog recognizes her puppies by their scent. If you touch a puppy, it will have your scent on it, and the puppy might not recognize it as its own."
"Daddy, when can we pet the puppies?"
"It will be ready in two more days."
"Can it be done in two days?" Xiao Wenxuan gestured with his hand.
Li Chu knew that when telling children the time, it was essential to give them the exact time so that they would have the correct understanding.
"Yes, it will be fine after we get back the day after tomorrow afternoon."
The two little ones were overjoyed to hear what he said.
After watching for a while, Xiaobai became visibly impatient and then led the two of them out of the study.
In the following days, Li Chu finally managed to write an outline of basic TCM knowledge that he was relatively satisfied with. The next step was to fill in the content.
After Ding Qiunan kept nagging, the photos were finally developed.
Li Chu didn't dare to waste any time and handed the photos over to his Uncle Lin that same day.
He didn't expect that Ding Qiunan would be even more anxious than him this time, calculating the days every day.
What surprised him even more was that Uncle Lin and Dean Liu's speed was much faster than he had imagined.
Three days after submitting the photos, Li Chu was summoned to the department by phone.
Upon arriving at the office of Director Li, Dean Liu and another middle-aged soldier were also present.
After Director Cheng asked Li Chu to sit down, he looked down at his hand at the notice that Dean Liu had just given him regarding the conscription of Comrade Li Chu into the army.
The General Hospital operates under a dual management system. The department has guidance authority over specific business matters, but matters involving personnel, organizational relationships, and finance are managed by the General Logistics Department of the PLA.
Therefore, Li Chu's personnel and organizational relationships will definitely need to be transferred.
Director Cheng put down the notice in his hand, looked at Li Chu, and then turned to Dean Liu and said, "Dean Liu, I need to report to the leadership."
"Of course, this is a must." Dean Liu raised his hand, indicating to Director Cheng that it was up to him.
Director Cheng picked up the phone on the table and dialed the number.
After hanging up the phone, I took the notice, said goodbye to Dean Liu and the other two, and left the office.
After Director Cheng left, Dean Liu introduced the identity of the person who came with him to Li Chu.
"Xiao Li, your wife's conscription notice has been sent to the hospital. Officer Zhang will go over this afternoon to handle her paperwork."
"I understand, Dean."
We hadn't exchanged more than a few words when Director Cheng returned.
"Dean Liu, you've done a great job. You even informed Minister Qian in advance."
Dean Liu smiled and said, "We wouldn't dare to issue a notice without reporting to the leadership in advance."
Director Cheng thought for a moment before saying, "Alright, I'll arrange for someone to take Officer Zhang to handle Dr. Li's file procedures."
After saying that, Director Cheng picked up the phone again and dialed a number.
When Li Chu walked out of the department's gate, all his files and documents had already been taken away by Dean Liu and Secretary Zhang.
From now on, although he is still a member of the expert health care group under the Health Bureau, his personnel matters are no longer managed by this group.
Director Cheng personally escorted Li Chu to the main gate today.
"Dr. Li, no matter what your future status is, this will always be your home. Come back and visit often."
Director Cheng extended his right hand and shook hands with Li Chu.
"Director Cheng, I'm still a member of our health care team, and you'll still be my leader in the future. If you need anything, just let me know."
Director Cheng smiled and patted Li Chu's hand with his left hand.
After saying goodbye to Director Cheng, Li Chu walked towards the bus stop.
I finished my wife's paperwork this afternoon, and we'll go to the main hospital tomorrow to complete the formalities.
After tomorrow, he and Ding Qiunan will become proud soldiers.
Before he even entered the consultation room after returning to the hospital, Director Sun informed him that Dean Yang was looking for him.
Li Chu then rushed to the dean's office.
"Dr. Li, you've done an excellent job of keeping this a secret. You didn't even tell me beforehand."
As soon as he entered the office, Dean Yang began to complain.
"Dean, I didn't say anything before because I didn't know if it would work out," Li Chu said with a forced smile.
Regardless of the reason for Dean Yang's arrival, he was indeed very kind to Li Chu and strongly supported his work, for which Li Chu was very grateful.
"It's a good thing to be able to join the army. I can't stand in your way. Have you finished all your paperwork?" Dean Yang asked with concern.
"It's already been completed. People from the main hospital will come this afternoon to process my wife's paperwork and also to take away my backup data from our hospital."
"Sigh," Dean Yang sighed, walked over, poured a glass of water, and placed it in front of Li Chu.
He didn't go to sit behind the desk, but just leaned against it.
"Going to the main hospital is fine too. That's just how things are at our hospital right now. Old Zhang and the others... sigh..."
As he spoke, Dean Yang shook his head again and sighed deeply.
Dean Yang has also been having a tough time lately. He wanted to put in a good word for Vice Dean Zhang and the others, but he didn't dare to go against the tide.
We can only try our best to maintain the current situation.
Currently, many surgeries cannot be performed in the hospital.
Those summoned for this training session were all key personnel and experts from the hospital, including department heads and deputy heads.
This gave Dean Yang a huge headache, but he had no idea what to do.
