He Ping simply took out a stack of big unity notes from her pocket and handed them to Yu Xiangnian.

Yu Xiangnian asked, "You're not going to wait until the patient has a follow-up examination and is clear before paying?"

He Ping said: "I believe you!"

She then asked, "What's your name? How can I contact you in the future?"

"Yu Xiangnian. If you want to find me, you can ask my three friends to pass on a message to me, and then I'll come find you."

Yu Xiangnian collected the money and said to Qiu Yang cheerfully, "Let's go! I'll take you to eat something delicious!"

In the state-owned restaurant, a bowl of watery noodles in clear soup was placed in front of each of them.

Qiu Yang looked at the noodles and then at Yu Xiangnian, his eyes cold. "Yu Xiangnian, you're just treating me to a bowl of plain noodles? When I treated you, you ate and took away everything at the same time!"

Yu Xiangnian said, "Haven't you heard that you should be ruthless when eating other people's food, but be frugal when eating your own food?"

Qiu Yang said angrily: "You just made 300 yuan!"

"I want to buy an electric fan and save some money."

"Then at least add a few slices of braised beef!"

Yu Xiangnian said to the waiter, "Please give him a braised egg."

Then he said to Qiu Yang, "Stir-fried beef! The people across the strait can't even afford braised eggs!"

As the two of them ate noodles, Qiu Yang finally believed that Yu Xiangnian would have the surgery.

"Yu Xiangnian, are you hiding something from me?"

Yu Xiangnian immediately became alert, "No."

"I've watched you grow up, and I know every hair on your body. I haven't seen you for only a year, and you can translate and perform surgery, so you'd better explain what's going on."

"If I tell you that a god slapped me on the head, you won't believe me! So don't ask! Anyway, I just know these things now, and I'm only telling you because we have a close relationship. You have to keep it a secret for me!"

Qiu Yang's eyes rolled. "Keep it a secret? Sure! Come with me to Shanghai."

"You have to show me the medical report first. It's useless if I can't be cured."

"I'll go back home after eating noodles. I just received the medical examination report yesterday."

The two came to Qiu Yang's house. Yu Xiangnian read the examination report and judged that the patient should have coronary artery disease and needed a bypass surgery.

It can be done, but the operation requires opening the chest, which is very traumatic. Given the current medical conditions, the risk is still quite high.

Qiu Yang is so excited that he is going to buy a train ticket and prepare to depart tomorrow.

Yu Xiangnian said, "Tell your friends the actual situation and let them think it over."

Yu Xiangnian went to the department store and bought an electric fan for 156 yuan, and also bought five feet of cloth, preparing to ask Wang Hongxiang to make her a skirt.

Qiu Yang stole the show as he walked all the way from the staff quarters carrying the electric fan.

No family in the housing estate had an electric fan, and these family members had only seen such things in department stores.

It costs more than 100 yuan! You can buy several hundred kilograms of rice, enough for the whole family to eat for a year!

Looking again, I saw a person following behind the fan, looking very happy.

All the family members looked at Yu Xiangnian with envy and jealousy.

"I heard that the wind from electric fans is strong and cool, and it blows continuously. It's so comfortable!"

"I heard it can even turn its head and cool down the whole room!"

"Really? I've never seen that before! This wicked woman really knows how to enjoy herself on such a hot day!"

"Deputy Captain Cheng is the same. How can we let her spend money so easily?"

“······”

In July in the south city, the temperature was over 30 degrees Celsius. The sun was like a fireball shining on the ground, and the house was like a steamer.

Who doesn't want to have a fan and feel the cool breeze...

As soon as Cheng Jingmo entered the house, he saw a white electric fan in the main room, rotating left and right.

He now understood why the family members had been staring at him along the way.

Yu Xiangnian is the talk of the town in the family compound every day.

Xiaojie stood in front of the fan, his body swaying left and right as the fan rotated.

Yu Xiangnian turned his back to the door and looked at Xiaojie, "Don't blow towards me, or you'll get sick."

"Auntie, can I play it while sleeping at night?"

"As long as you don't mind the noise," Yu Xiangnian said. "Also, you can only adjust it to the lowest setting and blow it towards the wall. Otherwise, if you blow it all night, you'll be sick tomorrow morning."

"It's been so hot these past few days that I can't sleep well."

Yu Xiangnian remembered that Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie were sleeping in the same bed. It was such a hot day, and it would be even hotter if they slept together.

Besides, Xiaojie is seven years old now and should sleep in a separate bed.

Just as I was thinking about asking Cheng Jingmo to hire someone to make a bed, my thoughts were interrupted by Cheng Jingmo's voice.

"Where's the fan?"

Yu Xiangnian turned around and said proudly, "I bought it!"

Cheng Jingmo walked to the fan and took a look. Gusts of cool breeze blew, making people feel refreshed.

"Where did you get the money?" he asked again.

Yu Xiangnian said, "Don't ask me about this. I didn't steal or rob. I earned it myself!"

Cheng Jingmo thought she had gone to the daily chemical factory to buy some goods and made some money from doing business, so he didn't ask any more questions.

He had been with Yu Xiangnian for so long that he knew that Yu Xiangnian would never treat him badly and he could buy him whatever he wanted.

At the same time, she is also very generous to others. As long as it suits her, she is willing to give away things regardless of their price.

The next morning, Qiu Yang came to the family compound to find Yu Xiangnian again.

Qiu Yang: "My friends have considered it and said they want to give it a try. They want us to go to Shanghai as soon as possible. I'm going to buy train tickets and get a letter of introduction now. We'll leave tomorrow morning."

"So urgent? I haven't even told Cheng Jingmo."

Qiu Yang curled his lips in disdain, "Where are you going? Do you need to report to him?"

"What are you talking about! He's my husband, of course I have to tell him!" Yu Xiangnian rolled his eyes at him, "Give me two days, I'll think of an excuse, and I still need to prepare."

"Saving people is the most important thing. Don't delay!" Qiu Yang said. "By the way, my friend's father is the president of a Shanghai publishing house. Do you want to make some money?"

When it comes to making money, Yu Xiangnian doesn't hesitate. "Hurry up and buy the tickets. We'll leave tomorrow!"

No one can stop her from making money!

As soon as Cheng Jingmo got home from work, Yu Xiangnian told him about this.

"Cheng Jingmo, I'm going to Shanghai with Qiu Yang tomorrow."

Hearing this, Cheng Jingmo's body trembled. He stood still, his face still showing his usual expression of indifference, but the look he gave Yu Xiangnian was sharp and cold.

After a while, he asked, "How long will it take?"

In fact, Cheng Jingmo wanted to ask: What are you going there for? Will you come back? Do you want to follow him abroad again?

Many questions popped up in his mind, but in the end he only asked one question: How long will it take?

Yu Xiangnian calculated that it would take two days and two nights to get from Nancheng to Shanghai by train, which means a round trip would take four days.

Six days is enough for an operation!

"Ten days," Yu Xiangnian said. "Tomorrow is July 10th. I'll be back home on July 20th."

"Um."

Cheng Jingmo went into the kitchen to cook.

Yu Xiangnian heard the sound of things falling in the kitchen from time to time.

She thought for a moment and went into the kitchen.

"Cheng Jingmo, are you afraid that I will follow Qiu Yang abroad again?"
