Chapter 565: He was carrying a gun.
His eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Bai Zhi expectantly and said, "When are we going? Take me with you."
"I'll go once the shops in the county town open." Bai Zhi was quite anxious, but the New Year wasn't over yet, and there was no way to buy anything if the shops weren't open.
Ye Qingbai suggested to her, "Buy a motorcycle in the city. There are more options there, and it's not far. It only takes two hours by bus."
"Don't rush. We'll open for business after the New Year. You can take me with you then, and I'll give you some advice."
Fearing that his reason for bringing him along wasn't sufficient, Ye Qingbai added shyly, "We can also provide financial assistance when necessary."
His last sentence was indeed quite tempting.
To be honest, Bai Zhi calculated her savings and realized that she was indeed not very well off.
She just bought a three-piece set of home appliances, and now she's buying a motorcycle. These are all items that cost several thousand yuan. As a doctor, she really doesn't have that much money in her pocket.
She might really need to borrow some money from her cousin to tide her over.
She'll pay him back once she earns enough.
So she readily agreed, "Okay, I'll take you with me then."
Shen Qian was also eager to buy a motorcycle, but then she remembered that Nancheng already had one.
So they gave up.
With the little money I earn, how many years would it take to save enough for a motorcycle?
Now that her mother and stepfather are getting old, she should use a portion of her earnings to support them.
Although her stepfather's current thoughts are giving her a headache, she still has to fulfill her basic filial duties.
In fact, she understood that her stepfather kept trying to match her with his nephew largely because he felt insecure.
She was always afraid that he would get old and that she, as his stepdaughter, would not care for him.
Therefore, they try to bind their families with kinship, always feeling that their nephews are their closest relatives, and that only by strengthening kinship can they better consolidate family relationships.
From now on, all she can do is fulfill her filial duties to the best of her ability.
To change the stepfather's mind.
In any case, there is absolutely no way she could be with his nephew.
"What are you thinking about?" Bai Zhi noticed that Shen Qian was always lost in thought and looked preoccupied, so she asked with a smile.
Shen Qian snapped out of her daze, smoothed her hair, and said, "It's okay, let's go after we finish eating."
Ye Qingbai followed behind them, but he didn't enjoy the meal at all.
The crucial point is that his dream of being discharged from the hospital has been shattered once again.
I can only continue to eke out a living here.
I had just come out of the cafeteria when I ran into the Sun family elders downstairs in the inpatient building.
They saw Bai Zhi and Shen Qian in the distance and stopped to wait.
The two elderly people walked in front, followed by the driver.
The driver was carrying a lot of things.
Judging by appearances, there are fruits, canned beef, beverages, milk, etc.
Bai Zhi walked up to them and asked, "Old Sun, haven't you two gone back yet?"
"We'll stay at the guesthouse and not go home."
Looking at the two doctors, Old Sun smiled and said with gratitude, "Dr. Bai, Dr. Shen, thank you for your hard work. I don't know how to thank you, so I went out to buy some food and was just about to bring it to your office."
It's clear that the two elderly people are in much better spirits than before.
With his son out of danger, the old man felt relieved.
"Dr. Sun, you don't need to be so polite. It's just what we doctors should do."
Madam Sun replied, "I know it's your duty, but we've seen how hard you young people work. We'd feel really bad if we didn't thank you."
After speaking, Old Sun said to the driver, "Xiao Wang, take these things to the doctor's office."
Shen Qian was about to say something when Old Sun interrupted her with a smile, "I've already spoken to Dean Liu, so this doesn't count as a violation of discipline."
The driver had already taken the things upstairs.
They were not given any room to refuse.
Hearing from Elder Sun that he had already spoken to Dean Liu, Bai Zhi no longer refused. She said to Shen Qian, "Dr. Shen, please accept it and share it with your colleagues."
After speaking, she looked at Ye Qingbai and said, "Cousin, you should go upstairs and rest too. I don't have any work to do right now, so I'll go home first."
Now, the bus ride is so bumpy that it takes until the afternoon to get home.
After a short rest, it was dinnertime again.
Another day has passed.
In those days of inconvenient transportation, most of our time was spent on the road.
The experienced and weathered Madam Sun, upon hearing that Bai Zhi wanted to go home, immediately said, "Xiao Bai, let our driver take you home."
Bai Zhi hurriedly declined, "No need, no need, I can just take the shuttle bus."
When I told them I was going home, I didn't mean for them to take me there.
"Anyway, the car is parked there and the driver has nothing to do. We're staying at the guesthouse, so we don't need the car for the time being."
In order to prepare for any emergencies, the driver did not go back, but stayed with them here just in case.
Old Sun immediately said, "From now on, I'll have my driver pick you up from the family compound in the mornings. It's definitely inconvenient for you to get a ride if you come so early."
The fact that she was waiting for a bus by the roadside with her lunchbox that day shows how inconvenient it is to get around here.
Shen Qian and Ye Qingbai stood there, watching as the elderly couple and Bai Zhi seemed to know each other quite well.
The two elderly people also showed her great care.
Ye Qingbai looked at Bai Zhi with even more pride.
A capable person will be respected wherever they go.
This old man's status was clearly extraordinary.
Otherwise, how could you just casually go and greet the hospital director?
Seeing that there was a car available, Ye Qingbai naturally hoped that Bai Zhi would take it.
Don't wrong yourself.
“Cousin, let this old man’s driver take you. You’ve worked so hard. The shuttle bus doesn’t come until the afternoon, so you won’t get back until evening.”
Ye Qingbai's further remark only made Old Master Sun more determined to keep Bai Zhi from leaving, insisting that the driver take her home.
As they were talking, the driver finished delivering the items and went downstairs.
Old Sun instructed him, "Xiao Wang, take Dr. Xiao Bai home, to that family compound."
The driver replied, "Yes, sir."
The driver politely gestured for Bai Zhi to leave, and Bai Zhi, unable to refuse, could only say goodbye to Shen Qian and Ye Qingbai before departing.
After thanking Shen Qian again, Old Sun returned to the guesthouse.
Shen Qian and Ye Qingbai went upstairs one after the other. Ye Qingbai couldn't help but ask Shen Qian, "Who is this old man? Why does he seem to know my cousin so well?"
Although Shen Qian felt the same way, she didn't say much, only uttering a faint, "I don't know."
She ignored him, so Ye Qingbai didn't bother to make a fool of himself.
When he returned to his ward, he asked Shen Qian, "Dr. Shen, will I need to have my arm reconstructed in the future? How will it be done? When will it be done?"
It must be said that Bai Zhi's words put some psychological pressure on Ye Qingbai.
Limited arm function is no small matter.
He had a gun!
Shen Qian replied, "Try to restore the function after the wound heals. The place where you were injured is right at the joint. If you keep your arm curled up for so long, I'm afraid you won't be able to straighten it in the future. You'll need to stretch your muscles and do strength training."
As soldiers, they require a higher level of physical coordination.
If we don't rebuild it, the strength and reaction time of this arm won't be able to keep up, which will seriously affect my work.
