Soon, the two arrived at the place in the post office dedicated to making phone calls.
After waiting in line for a while, it was finally Gu Qinglin's turn. He called the director's office of the Capital First Hospital.
The phone rang and was answered by 그.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
"You are looking for Dean Gu, it's Gu Qinglin."
Upon hearing the name, the man opposite him suddenly became serious.
This man is not only the only son of President Gu and Director Gao, but also an officer in the army. He is young, but has climbed to the position of regiment commander. It can be said that his future is limitless.
"It's Director Gu. I guess you'll have to wait a while. The director is performing surgery on a patient in the emergency room."
Gu Qinglin was not surprised, as his father was always very busy.
“Is Director Gao here?”
"Yes, go and call Director Gao here."
Director Gao, also known as his mother Gao Fenglan, was also the chief physician of the Department of Thoracic Surgery at the Capital First Hospital at the time.
The couple had both worked in a military hospital and were later transferred to the Capital First Hospital as dean and director.
In the dean's office.
Nurse 께 put down the phone and ran to tell Gao Fenglan who was doing her ward rounds about it.
"Director Gao, Director Gu called and said he wants to talk to you and the dean about something."
Gao Fenglan had just finished her ward rounds and came out of the ward. When she heard this, she hurried towards the dean's office.
If she remembered correctly, her son was still on a mission in Ping County and had not returned yet. He would usually call home when he had nothing to do, and would even call to come to the hospital.
Did something happen to him?
Gao Fenglan arrived at the office and answered the phone, "Hello, Qinglin, what happened to you?"
"Mom, don't worry, this is not a bad thing, it is a happy thing."
"Happy event, what happy event?" Gao Fenglan felt relieved, but was also a little surprised.
Her son hasn't been home for many years since he joined the army. Is it possible that he will come back this time?
Gu Qinglin chuckled, glanced at Shen Man, and told the person on the other end of the phone what happened between the two of them.
"Mom, you are planning to get married. Your wife is Uncle Shen's daughter, Shen Man, who you chose for you as your fiancée."
Gao Fenglan was stunned. "Your Uncle Shen's daughter?"
After all these years, the only person her son could call Uncle Shen was that man.
Unfortunately, that person died early in the battlefield, leaving behind only an orphan and a widow. Now Shen Ming's wife has already remarried with his only daughter. I heard a few years ago that the daughter had just graduated from high school and married someone else.
Because of this incident, her engagement with Qinglin was cancelled early.
Gu Qinglin nodded, "Yes, Uncle Shen's daughter Shen Man, Mom, is planning to return to the army in two days to report her marriage."
Gao Fenglan was shocked and said, "Is she married already?"
Shen Man, who was standing by, also heard the question coming from the phone. Her heart tightened slightly, and she looked up at Gu Qinglin, wanting to see how this man would answer.
Gu Qinglin continued, "Mom, she's divorced. I met her by chance."
"But I didn't know at that time that she was Uncle Shen's daughter. It was not until I went to the countryside and visited Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen and met her again that I learned her identity."
Hearing him mention the two old men, Gao Fenglan once again recalled the relationship between Shen Ming and her boyfriend, and for a moment she felt mixed emotions.
If Shen Ming had not sacrificed himself at that time, the two families would probably still be together now.
It's a pity that such a young man died for his country.
Thinking of this, Gao Fenglan sighed, "Your uncle Shen's daughter should be by your side. Hand her the phone and let her talk to her."
Gu Qinglin was silent for a moment, then looked up at Shen Man, silently asking for her opinion.
Shen Man nodded at him and said, "Give me the phone. I'll talk to Aunt Gu."
On the other side of the phone, Gao Fenglan raised her lips slightly when she heard this generous and decent voice, with a hint of smile in her eyes, "You must be Manman, right? In the blink of an eye, you and Qinglin are already more than ten years old."
"I thought you two were not meant to be together, but after so many twists and turns, you ended up together again."
"Your uncle Gu and I are the first to support your marriage. If Qinglin treats you well in the future, just come to us and we will support you."
Shen Man's cheeks flushed slightly, "Thank you, Aunt Gu."
"By the way, is your mother okay? I haven't seen her in years. Ask Qinglin to leave a phone number for you. When your uncle Gu finishes the surgery, we will call your mother to discuss your marriage."
"We'll see when the time comes. Where will the wedding be held? Or will it be held in both places?"
"There is also the betrothal gift for you, the wedding house that your family will prepare for you, and the wedding date. These all need to be decided carefully."
…
As Gao Fenglan and Shen Man talked over the phone, they became more and more satisfied with their future daughter-in-law.
As for the marriage, she herself was also married to an old man, so naturally she would feel that there was something suitable. And the most important thing was that Shen Ming and her boyfriend had a life-long friendship.
Based on this point alone, they could not object to their marriage.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Man finally felt a little relieved. She thought Aunt Gu would object, but she didn't expect that when she found out that she had been married before, not only did she not dislike it, but she also felt a little distressed.
I feel sorry for her because she chose to divorce because she suffered so much injustice in her last marriage.
Gu Qinglin, who was standing next to her, saw that she was a little nervous and told her about his mother's past.
"Before she met my father, my mother had also been in a short marriage, and she was two years older than my father."
"When the two met for the first time, my mother had just ended her marriage and resolutely chose to go back to school. She was admitted to the military hospital where my father worked at the time and became a nurse. Later, after continuous efforts, she became a doctor."
"And in the process, I became a revolutionary partner with my father, who is a doctor, and we saved the dying and healed the wounded together."
"Later, they met your uncle Shen, also your father, in the military hospital. They had a very good relationship. Your father was a military doctor at the time and also went to the battlefield to treat the wounded. They had risked their lives for each other many times, so it was natural that they had a good relationship."
"That's why, even though Uncle Shen has been gone for so many years, my parents still insisted that I come to the countryside to visit Grandpa and Grandma Shen on their behalf."
When talking about her father who died at such a young age, Shen Man felt a little depressed and her mood became low.
If he were still alive, perhaps their family would be very happy.
It turns out that Shen Man will also die as described in the plot.
Gu Qinglin noticed her emotional tension, looked down at her, pursed his lips, and said, "Sorry."
