Whether she can listen to what she's told is up to her.

The others saw that Zhao Meilan was still standing there in a daze, so they stopped paying attention to her.

The other doctors were junior doctors who had just arrived last year. After hearing what Dr. Cui and Dr. Chang said, they felt that what they said made sense.

I thought to myself: If I encounter any problems I don't know how to solve, even if I can't follow Dr. Liu, I can ask Dr. Zhang and Dr. Dong for help!

After all, they are all doctors in the same hospital, and besides, they are not much older than these two doctors, and they have a good relationship. Wouldn't it be easier for them to ask for advice?

Liu Linjuan was in her office, talking with Xiao Zhang and Xiao Dong, and arranging their upcoming work and study tasks, when she heard a knock on the door.

Liu Linjuan quickly stopped.

"Please come in."

Seeing that the person who came in was Nurse Xiao Sun, she said, "What's wrong, Xiao Sun? Is there a patient here?"

"No, Dr. Liu, Dean Ding just called and asked you to come over. He said he needs to talk to you and is in a hurry, so please come over as soon as you don't have any patients."

"Okay, Xiao Sun, I understand. I'll be right there. You can go ahead and get back to work!"

"Okay, Dr. Liu!"

When Nurse Xiao Sun told her that Dean Ding wanted to see her, she didn't know what it was about. The patients she was in charge of had not experienced any complications after surgery. She also looked at the two students standing to the side.

"You guys go back first! When you have free time, study some foreign case studies. If you can't find them, just go to the archives and look for relevant cases."

If you have any questions or don't understand something, you can go to Dr. Cui or Dr. Chang if I'm not at the hospital.

They are older than you two and started working earlier, so don't think that just because I'm mentoring you, you're superior. You should humbly learn from them.

"I have no problem admitting that Dr. Cui and Dr. Chang have some skills, but I also don't. So you should carefully seek their advice, understand?"

"Yes, teacher!"

"When I'm not performing surgeries, you should try to accompany Director He and the others on stage as much as possible. Even if you can't be their assistant, you should still watch from the sidelines and practice diligently afterwards!"

"Yes, teacher!"

"Alright, I don't have anything else to do for now. You can all go back to your offices!"

"Yes, teacher!"

Xiao Zhang and Xiao Dong are now very fortunate that, unlike Zhao Meilan, they never looked down on others because they were high-achieving medical students.

From the day I started my internship at the military hospital, I diligently sought guidance from every teacher and did my best in everything. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had this opportunity to learn from my teachers.

Besides, since the teacher said they should learn from other doctors, it means they have something that others don't. Learning what you don't have is nothing shameful.

After saying that, Liu Linjuan left. On her way to the dean's office, she was still wondering what she wanted to see her about. She couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a while, so she stopped thinking about it. She figured she would know when she got there.

Arriving at the dean's office, I raised my hand and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

When Liu Linjuan came in and saw that Minister Chen and Political Commissar Ma were also there, she quickly saluted.

"Reporting, greetings to all the leaders, Dean Ding, you wanted to see me?"

"Xiao Liu, please sit down!" Ding

The dean quickly asked Liu Linjuan to sit down.

Liu Linjuan was puzzled. Why were Minister Chen and Political Commissar Ma also present when Dean Ding came to see her, yet she couldn't directly ask?

Seeing that his old comrade didn't speak, Political Commissar Ma said, "We have a letter here for your little Liu!"

"A letter, for me?"

When Liu Linjuan heard the letter, her heart skipped a beat. Could it be a letter from her husband?

Then I heard Political Commissar Ma say:

"This letter was brought back by one of the wounded soldiers who were brought back this time!"

He said he was able to return alive because Comrade Li Zilong never gave up on him and carried him out through enemy fire; otherwise, he would have lost his life on the battlefield. This is a letter he asked Comrade Li Zilong to give to you!

"What about him? Is he dead or alive?" Liu Linjuan didn't look at the letter, but asked directly.

"The soldier said that when he returned, Comrade Li Zilong had led his troops out on another mission, but he didn't know the specifics."

"That's good. Whether he's dead or alive, as long as we have news of him, that's fine."

"Then you can read the letter first. We'll head out now." Ma

Soon, Liu Linjuan was alone in the office. She slowly opened the letter and read it carefully before realizing:

The gist of it is that he is doing well now, so there's no need to worry. He will take care of his safety on the battlefield and will definitely return alive to his mother and daughter.

In the letter, he also asked her whether the baby was a boy or a girl, who it looked like, whether it resembled him more or his wife more, and so on. He guessed it must be a daughter, and that it looked like his wife.

In just a few short pages, he expressed his longing and love for his wife and children.

This is a letter expressing longing for his wife and children.

After reading the letter, Liu Linjuan bit her lower lip tightly, but still burst into tears.

More than a year has passed since her husband went to the front lines, and she has never shown her longing or shed tears in front of anyone.

But looking at the letter in her hand, she could no longer control her longing for her husband, and tears streamed down her face. She cried her heart out in the office where no one else was around.

Minister Chen, Political Commissar Ma, and Dean Ding, who were standing outside the door, also looked somber. They knew that Liu Linjuan was missing her husband, and even the strongest woman would shed tears in such a situation.

Their heavy hearts came from learning from the returning soldiers how cruel the battlefield was and how many soldiers had sacrificed their lives. Although they were all veteran revolutionaries who had fought many battles, they had never imagined that the casualties on this battlefield would be so heavy.

When they heard this, their first thought was to join the battle, but their bodies wouldn't allow it, and they had to stay in the rear, a fact that was unacceptable for a revolutionary soldier.

But that's the reality; they had no choice but to stay behind in the rear.

But they all knew they couldn't just stay in the rear without doing anything.

They all planned to go back and think of a solution to see if they could offer any help.

After all, they were veteran revolutionaries who had participated in many battles and also had some understanding of the Americans.

Not long after they stood outside, they saw Liu Linjuan come out with red eyes. Everyone knew she had been crying, so they were relieved, since sometimes keeping things bottled up inside isn't a good thing.

Political Commissar Ma quickly said, "Xiao Liu! You've been working yourself to the bone lately. There's nothing much going on at the hospital, so go back and rest! Just leave everything to your two students for now."

Upon hearing this, Dean Ding quickly echoed:

"Old Ma is right, you should go back now!"

You haven't had a proper rest since the surgery, go back and get some rest.

Oh right, the child is still at home! How could I forget about that! Go back and check on them right away! The hospital hasn't had any seriously injured patients these past few days, so I'll give you three days off. Get a good night's sleep, otherwise even someone with an iron body couldn't hold on!

"Yes! Old Ding is right, you are a hero, hurry back! The child hasn't seen you at home recently, he must miss his mother, go home and rest first."

Liu Linjuan thought about it; the injured patients under her care had passed the critical 72-hour post-operative period and were all in good condition. If there were any problems, Director He and the others could handle them.

"Okay, thank you for your concern, leaders. I'll head back now. If you need anything, just come find me at home!"

"Okay, I understand. I'll talk to Director He later and ask for leave for you!" Dean Ding said.

"Those leaders, I'll head back now!"

"Let's go back!"

Since the leader has already taken charge, I might as well go back. There's nothing wrong with that. Besides, I've been quite tired lately, so I didn't go to the office and just turned around and left the hospital.

I haven't seen my mother for many days. She came back with Aunt Zhou. It seems the problem is quite serious.

Also, the atmosphere at home has been off lately. Even my third brother, "Chenxi," and fourth brother, "Chenbei," aren't as eager to go out and play as they usually are.

These past few days, the two of them have been staying quietly in the yard watching ants climb trees, and they haven't been as frightening as usual.

However, the sun was shining brightly today, so Aunt Wu carried me out and put me on my little bed in the yard. I sat there basking in the sun, because it's good for children to get plenty of sunshine.

Soon after, there was a knock on the door.

Aunt Wu quickly stood up and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Sister Wu."

Upon hearing her mother's voice, she quickly called out:

"Mother"

Aunt Wu knew it was Liu Linjuan who had returned, and she also heard me call for my mother. She quickly picked me up and went to open the door for her. Seeing my mother standing outside, she opened her arms and asked for a hug, calling out loudly as she did so.

"Mommy, Mommy"

My mother quickly picked me up and carried me into the yard, saying to Aunt Wu:

"Could you please kill an old hen for me later and simmer it over low heat to make soup? Once the soup is ready, remove the top layer and divide it into two portions. Send one portion to Sister Zhou."

Sister Wu noticed that Liu Linjuan's eyes were red, as if she had been crying, but she was too embarrassed to ask.

Hearing that they were asked to kill a chicken, he quickly agreed:

"Okay, I'll get on it right away!"

"By the way, big sister, after you find Sister Zhou at the hospital, don't say that I asked you to make the chicken soup. Just say that you made it. There are a lot of wounded people now, and one chicken is not enough to go around. Don't cause unnecessary trouble if you hear that I asked you to make it."

"What about the other one?"

"For the other one, once you get to the hospital, ask the nurse on duty if there's a soldier named Gu Zhengrong. Give him the chicken soup and say it's from Li Zilong's family. You don't need to say anything else; he'll know who it is and what it means!"

"Okay, I got it. Don't worry! I'll get it done. You've been working really hard these past few days, so go back to your room and lie down!"

"Okay, I'll take the kids back to my room to rest first. I'll leave the two brothers, Chen Xi and his brother, to Shan Shan's help out!"

"That's no problem, don't be so polite!"

After listening to her mother and Aunt Wu's conversation, it suddenly dawned on her: Li Zilong is her father's name, isn't it? There must be news about her father. It's been over a year since we last heard from him. Now that we've heard from him, does something have happened to him?
