Mr. Dong said, "Comrade Lin, don't be sad. Ever since she lost her memory, she has never been able to do anything properly. Maybe she will come back on her own tomorrow."
Lin Qingyan nodded: "I'll stay here for now, and I'll come back to check on things tomorrow."
"good."
Lin Qingyan had already asked Dong Bonian for his opinion and hadn't had a chance to properly examine the middle-aged man in front of her.
Dong Bainian looked to be in his fifties, with a calm and composed demeanor, like a cadre. I look about four or five parts like Mr. Dong.
Dong Yue pointed to Dong Wenhua next to Dong Bonian and continued to introduce her: "This is my aunt, who is also Xiao Ning's mother."
Hello, Auntie.
"Hello to you too." Dong Wenhua forced himself to be somewhat enthusiastic and smiled at Lin Qingyan, saying, "I heard from Xiaoyue and Xiaoning that you knew them in the army, and that you and Xiaoning were colleagues at the hospital."
“Yes, Auntie.” Lin Qingyan nodded.
Just like when she was sizing up Dong Bonian, she began to sizing up Granny Lin's daughter.
Upon closer inspection, she realized something was amiss. Dong Wenhua was around forty years old. She didn't resemble Dong Bonian, nor did she resemble Old Master Dong. As for Granny Lin, she looked even less like her.
It can be said that among the Dong family members, none of them look like her; she only bears a slight resemblance to Xu Xinning.
Although they didn't look alike, she didn't think about it in any other way.
It's not uncommon for children not to inherit physical characteristics from their parents, and Dong Wenhua is likely one of those cases.
Dong Yue said to Grandpa Dong, "Comrade Lin must be very disappointed that she couldn't see my grandmother this time. She said she wanted to see some old photos of my grandmother."
"Alright, take out that photo frame from my bedroom. It's full of pictures of Fenglan. Let Comrade Xiaolin take a good look."
"Okay, Grandpa."
Dong Yue immediately went to get the photos.
When Grandpa Dong looked at Lin Qingyan again, he was momentarily confused and felt that she resembled his wife and daughter in some way. But upon closer inspection, he realized that Lin Qingyan did not look like his wife and daughter at all.
"Cough cough~"
He covered his mouth and coughed twice.
Lin Qingyan then carefully observed his complexion and asked, "Grandpa, have you been sick for a long time?"
Grandpa Dong nodded. "It's been a chronic ailment for many years, and I haven't been able to cure it. Cough cough~ At first, I was very anxious because it couldn't be cured, but now I've gotten used to it."
"Grandpa, I'm a doctor. If you don't mind, can I take a look at you?"
Then Grandpa Dong suddenly remembered something and chuckled.
"Yes, yes, you're a doctor too. Xiaoyue told me you're very capable. You developed a remarkable hemostatic drug for the army. Your medical skills must be extraordinary. It's an honor for Grandpa that you can treat him. Oh, I suddenly feel that there's hope for my illness to be cured again."
Dong Bonian laughed heartily, "Dad, I don't know whether to say it's your good fortune or the good fortune my mother brought you. If Comrade Xiao Lin hadn't come to see my mother, he probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to treat your illness."
"It's your mother who brought me this blessing. However, I am destined to meet Xiaolin, otherwise we wouldn't have met."
Kawashima Yoshiko, who was standing behind them, secretly pursed her lips. The old man acted like an old monk in front of her, but his attitude changed immediately when he saw Lin Qingyan.
She admitted that she wasn't as pretty as Lin Qingyan, and by a large margin. It wasn't that the old man wasn't attracted to women; he just had high standards.
Hmph, he's an old man who's almost dead, and he's still eyeing teenage girls.
She wanted to see what this old man could do to Lin Qingyan.
Besides, someone's partner is with him, you old geezer, let's see if you dare.
Lin Qingyan said to Grandpa Dong, "Grandpa, I need to know about your past medical history and the treatments you've used. Also, could you please get me some paper and pen? I need to write them down."
She has a naturally good memory, but a bad pen is worse than a good memory. No matter how good your memory is, if you remember too much, you may get confused. Writing things down with pen and paper is the most reliable way.
Yoshiko Kawashima immediately stepped forward and said, "I'll go to Grandpa Dong's study to get it."
“No need.” Dong Bonian also stood up. “I’ll go get it.”
He returned to his study, took out a brand new notebook and a fountain pen, and handed them to Lin Qingyan.
Afterwards, Grandpa Dong and Dong Bonian gave a report to Lin Qingyan. Dong Bonian mainly spoke, and Grandpa Du supplemented any parts that Dong Bonian did not explain clearly.
Lin Qingyan noted down the key points of their description in her notebook: "No previous medical records or prescriptions?"
This time it was Dong Bonian who went to look for it again. "I'll go and see how much I can find."
Xu Xinning was very jealous. She had seen Grandpa Dong before, but her specialty was obstetrics and gynecology, and she was completely helpless when it came to Grandpa Dong's illness.
Lin Qingyan is not only proficient in obstetrics and gynecology, but also in pediatrics. She can even treat Old Master Dong's chronic illness. Even without going through Granny Lin, Lin Qingyan can continue to maintain contact with the Dong family by treating Old Master Dong.
Moreover, she felt that her maternal grandfather and her uncle had a very good attitude towards Lin Qingyan, and seemed to like her very much. Was Lin Qingyan going to win over her maternal grandfather and uncle on their first meeting?
She stared intently at Lin Qingyan, as if the other woman were a thorn in her side, and she wished she could pull it out immediately.
Dong Wenhua herself was also filled with a sense of crisis. Watching Lin Qingyan's conversation with Old Master Dong Bonian, and Lin Qingyan's intention to treat Old Master Dong's illness, every step of the way made her nervous and breathless. However, she had been through a lot, so on the surface she still appeared calm and occasionally showed a kind smile to Lin Qingyan.
But when she turned her head and saw Xu Xinning's out-of-control expression, and noticed the hostility in her eyes towards Lin Qingyan, she quickly tugged at Xu Xinning's sleeve, reminding her not to lose her composure and not to let the other members of the Dong family see this expression.
After receiving a reminder from her mother, Xu Xinning immediately came to her senses, and her expression instantly changed to friendly and cheerful.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Grandpa Dong and Lin Qingyan, and no one paid any attention to her. So, apart from Dong Wenhua, no one noticed that she had been glaring at Lin Qingyan.
Lin Qingyan said to Grandpa Dong, "Grandpa, let me take your pulse."
"good."
Grandpa Dong immediately placed his wrist on the coffee table, asking Lin Qingyan to take his pulse.
