Chapter 333 I Have the Final Say
"Okay, I know. Don't worry, I will make sure he is happy every day." Mrs. Jiang quickly assured.
The two continued talking on the phone for a while before hanging up.
In the evening, Jiang Hong, who went to report to the military district, has not returned until now.
Before she had the chance to tell him about Mrs. Jiang's call, she heard him say that as soon as he came back, his hometown had made several calls to the communications room.
"I don't know what happened back home. The people in the communications room asked them but they didn't say anything. After we finish our meal, we'll call back and ask about the situation." Jiang Hong said with a frown.
Hearing this, Li Yiyi interrupted his anxiety and pulled him to sit down first, "Comrade Jiang Hong, please sit down first. I may know the reason for the situation you described."
When Jiang Hong heard this, he quickly sat down obediently. After she sat down, he asked anxiously, "Wife, you just said you knew about this matter, what's going on?"
"Something happened to my eldest brother. Today I received a call from my eldest sister-in-law. She said that my eldest brother went to the city to help someone with work and fell from the roof beam. Both of his legs were broken. Now the house is in a mess. When my eldest sister-in-law called me, she was crying."
After hearing this, Jiang Hong frowned in worry and said, "I'll ask for leave from my superiors now and go back to take a look."
Li Yiyi immediately said, "I will go back with you, and the two children will go back with you. We have been away from home for so long, and our family has not been back home. This time we can go back and visit our family."
"I think it's okay. What about Aunt Huang? Should she go with us?" Jiang Hong asked.
Li Yiyi said quickly, "I asked Aunt Huang about this matter. She will not go back with us this time. She will stay at home to look after the house. She said that the last time we went to Hong Kong City, the house looked like no one had lived there for many years. It was dirty everywhere. This time, she will stay at home to look after the house."
Jiang Hong listened and nodded without saying anything. "I think it's okay. Let's leave some money and tickets for Aunt Huang when we go back."
At night, Jia Chunhua and her two families continued to come home.
It was a rare occasion for the four families to get together to eat and drink, eating barbecue and drinking wine, and they felt that such days were such a happy time.
"This wine tastes good, but not too intoxicating." Mo Xiaoxi took a sip of the red wine, her face full of love for it.
After taking a sip, Jia Chunhua showed a look of disgust on her face. "Why do I feel that it doesn't taste good at all? It's bitter and astringent. It's so unpalatable."
Li Yiyi listened to their opinions and smiled, "This is how red wine is. Some people like to drink it, and some people don't. I also have fruit wine here. If you don't like red wine, you can drink this."
When she took out a bottle of fruit wine, Jia Chunhua and Liu Cailan both drank fruit wine instead, and only Mo Xiaoxi was drinking red wine.
The men drank heartily.
"This is called beer, right? I've seen this stuff in the mall before. It seemed to be quite expensive. I was thinking of buying a bottle to try when I get my salary next day. I didn't expect to taste it here from you, Old Jiang. This is great. I can save my money." Mo Xiaoxi's husband said happily while drinking a glass of beer.
"I think white wine tastes better and is strong enough." Old He took a sip and savored the taste.
After drinking, the grown men sat together and talked about other things. That night, the excitement in the Jiang family yard lasted until ten o'clock in the evening.
I waited until the three families helped clean up the food before going back.
After eating the barbecue, the couple felt like they were all smelling of cooking oil. They took a hot bath one after another before returning to the room to rest.
There were still a lot of things waiting for them to do the next day, so the couple finally just slept in each other's arms.
After a good night's sleep, the couple returned to their respective jobs the next day.
After Li Yiyi returned to the hospital, she first went to tell the dean, and then asked him for a long vacation.
When Cheng Wei heard her asking for a long vacation, he pursed his lips and quickly agreed, "Okay, but I still hope that Dr. Li can come to the hospital to work as soon as possible. Our hospital's Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine cannot do without you."
Li Yiyi also knew that she had taken too many leave, and said apologetically, "Dean, I'm sorry, I know it's not good to keep taking leave like this, otherwise, I'd better resign and give this job to someone who is more suitable for it."
She felt really embarrassed that she was still receiving a salary from the hospital even though she hadn't been working there for such a long time.
And this time when she came out, she suddenly had other ideas.
When Cheng Wei heard her words, he immediately stood up from his seat in a hurry, "Doctor Li, you, why are you talking about resignation when you are fine? I didn't say anything to you, why are you angry?"
Li Yiyi saw that he had misunderstood her meaning, so she smiled and explained to him, "President Cheng, you misunderstood me. I just said I wanted to resign not because I was angry, but because I really wanted to do it. You see, I'm going to take a month or two off, and I'm not working in the hospital but still getting paid by the hospital. I'm really embarrassed."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? If the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine didn't have you, it wouldn't have been able to develop so well now. Besides, you can't leave. You are the living signboard of our hospital. Because of you, many patients come to see a doctor in our hospital." Cheng Wei said seriously.
"So, you can't resign. If you want to take a leave, just take it. We agree. Don't worry about what others think." Cheng Wei went on to say.
"But..." Before she could finish, Cheng Wei spoke before her.
"Don't worry about the buts. I'm the director of this hospital and I have the final say. If they have any opinions, just come to me." He immediately interrupted her.
Seeing this, Li Yiyi had to give up the idea, "Okay, I won't resign for now, but if I don't go to work, you don't have to pay me the salary."
Cheng Wei still disagreed this time, "No, you are an employee of our hospital, how can you not get paid? If outsiders knew about this, they would think that our hospital is so poor that it can't even pay the doctors' salaries."
Seeing that no one agreed with this solution, Li Yiyi had to think of another solution, "How about this, I only take half of the salary, and if I go to work one day, you can calculate the salary for that day and give it to me."
Hearing this, Cheng Wei pursed his lips, looked at her seriously and asked, "Doctor Li, did someone say something unpleasant in front of you? Don't listen to those people's words. They are just jealous of you. If you believe them, you will be fooled by them."
