"Special Nurse Wang, give me the prescription, I'll make some adjustments."

Upon entering the office, Li Chu spoke directly.

"Secretary Zhang, please make sure to get the leader plenty of fresh fruit, and also tell the canteen to prepare as much celery, leeks, winter melon, and kelp as possible for him during this period. Oh, and also cabbage, cauliflower, and radishes."

Remember to use less oil, salt, and spice; absolutely avoid pickled vegetables, and it's best not to eat leftovers either.

As Li Chu spoke, Secretary Zhang sat to the side, quickly writing in her notebook.

Seeing that Li Chu had stopped talking, Secretary Zhang handed over the notebook.

"Director Li, do you think I remember correctly?"

Li Chu took the notebook, read it carefully, and then took out a pen to sign his name on it.

He took the prescription from Special Nurse Wang and wrote a new one. As usual, after writing the prescription, he signed his name at the bottom.

After doing all this, Li Chu thought about it carefully again to see if there was anything he had overlooked.

After confirming that everything had been explained, he asked Secretary Zhang to send a car to take him home.

By the time he arrived at the hospital, his class had long since ended, so he went straight back to his office.

There were many manuscript papers spread out on the desk, and a thick stack of books was also piled on the desk.

He has already started writing the book on the basics of traditional Chinese medicine that he plans to rewrite.

Previously, Lin Sanshou took away his detailed outline and invited many famous experts in traditional Chinese medicine to discuss it. Everyone made some modifications to his detailed outline, but overall they were quite satisfied with it.

Many people also asked Lin Sanshou to bring Li Chu some rare photocopies of traditional Chinese medicine books.

He hadn't actually seen many of the materials he brought.

As Li Chu's status rises, one of the most obvious benefits is that those famous traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who previously disliked him are now beginning to acknowledge some of his ideas.

Sitting in the chair behind my desk, I organized the scattered papers on the table according to their numbers.

He glanced through what he had written before, took out his pen, and continued writing.

As Li Chu was writing, the office door was opened from the outside with a key, startling him from his reverie.

He then realized that it was already time to get off work.

"Didn't you hear the bell ringing to signal the end of the workday?" Ding Qiunan asked as she entered the room, seeing her husband still hunched over the table, intently writing something.

"It's already six o'clock. I really didn't notice the time." Li Chu raised his hand to check the time, and hurriedly tidied up the things on the table and put them into the drawer.

"Let's buy some groceries at the cafeteria. I heard they were cooking pork ribs this afternoon."

Seeing his wife's greedy look, Li Chu smiled and said, "Okay, buy two more portions. Those two little ones must be craving them too."

Hearing her husband's words, Ding Qiunan smiled like a fox that had just stolen a chicken.

Li Chu shook his head with amusement. The food at home was usually pretty good, so why did his wife become so attached to the dishes with meat in the cafeteria?

"If I don't have anything to do tomorrow, I'll go to the hospital over there and find Squad Leader Li. I'll ask him to buy some spare ribs, some pig's trotters, pig's head and stuff like that, and braise them."

"Mmm-hmm-hmm," Ding Qiunan nodded her little head frantically.

Saying he wanted to ask Squad Leader Li for help was just an excuse. He could just take some meat from the warehouse tomorrow when he had some free time.

The amount of meat piled up in his warehouse is probably more than that in a typical slaughterhouse.

After tidying up the things on the table, I casually took my handbag from the hook on the wall, slung it over my shoulder, and walked over to her, ruffling her hair.

"Let's go, honey, to the cafeteria to buy groceries."

"Ouch, you've messed up my hair again." Ding Qiunan waved her hand away, swatting away his mischievous hand.

After buying groceries, I picked up the kids and went home.

When they opened the door, their four dogs were standing behind it, welcoming them.

Of the four puppies that Xiaobai gave birth to, three have already been given away.

For the first two days after we sent them away, Xiao Bai stayed in the nest all day, hugging the only remaining kitten, and didn't leave the nest at all except to eat.

Wenhui and Wenxuan cried bitterly for half the night. Seeing their child's heartbroken appearance, Ding Qiunan spoke to Li Chu for the first time since their marriage.

For Li Chu, it was more of a feeling of novelty.

This was the first time he had ever seen his wife angry with him.

The two children are already four years old, and this was the first time it took them a long time to fall asleep that night.

Giving away three puppies allowed him to experience so many firsts, which was quite a good experience.

However, Ding Qiunan's temper only lasted for a short while. After the child fell asleep, she took the initiative to apologize.

The result of the apology was that Li Chu was rubbing his back again when he got up the next morning.

The little white kitten is five months old now. Its fur color is exactly the same as the little flower kitten's. The two kittens discussed and decided on the name, which is Little Yellow.

Yes, very much in the style of Li Chu.

Li Chu was thoroughly annoyed by the four dogs at home. He even considered having them all neutered, but then felt that it was a bit inhumane.

Feeding the four of them every day is a huge problem, as they eat far more than Li Chu and his family of four.

It just so happens that it found a good home; if it had been put in someone else's home, it would probably have starved to death long ago.

The two children went to play with the dog as soon as they entered the door.

The two adults then went to the kitchen to start cooking.

Ding Qiunan was in charge of cooking for the family of four, while Li Chu started making steamed buns for the dog.

That's right, we make special buns for them, with meat filling.

Although the meat wasn't high-quality, his dog was eating better than many other people's dogs.

By the time the steamed buns were completely ready, it was already past 8 p.m.

After letting the buns cool on the cutting board, I put them in a large cloth bag. Now that it's cold, I'm not worried about them spoiling.

"My God, I'm exhausted." Li Chu sighed deeply as he sat down on the sofa in the living room.

Steaming over two hundred buns, no wonder I was exhausted.

Ding Qiunan smiled and glanced at her husband: "Shall I give you a massage?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Wenxuan, who was sitting on the blanket building blocks with his sister, stood up.

"Mom, let me do it. I'll give Dad a massage."

After saying that, she slipped on her slippers and ran to Li Chu's side, clenching her little fists to massage his legs.

"Oh my, my son is so great, he can even give his dad a massage now. Come here, give me a kiss, mua."

Seeing her younger brother being praised by their father, Xiao Wenhui couldn't stand it and ran over too.

She climbed onto the sofa and started massaging her father's shoulders.

"Daddy, Daddy, I can do it too."

"Yes, my daughter is wonderful too, she's truly her father's little angel. Come on, give her a kiss, mua!"

Watching the loving interaction between the father and his two sons, Ding Qiunan sat to the side, smiling broadly.

The two children are so well-behaved and sensible, thanks to their husband's excellent upbringing.
