Chapter 14 Healing Effects
At around eight in the morning, the doctor came to check on the patient.
When he pushed the door open and saw Su Dajiang sleeping soundly, he did not disturb him too much. He just simply checked his wound, asked Su Hanyan a few questions, and gave some instructions to the family.
After Su Hanyan answered all the questions one by one, she asked, "How is my father's health?"
"He is currently recovering well." The doctor lowered his head to record the contents of the ward rounds, and glanced at Su Dahe lying on the bed. "The pain is the strongest 24 hours after the operation. So many patients couldn't sleep last night. It's rare to see someone sleeping so soundly like your father. That's good. You'll suffer less!"
"Oh!" Su Hanyan thought about what happened last night. Could it be that her father's deep sleep was caused by her? Could the light blue light that came out of her palm last night have the effect of relieving pain and healing? Thinking of this possibility, Su Hanyan was refreshed. Could it be that this was the legendary golden finger? If this was true, it would be too cool.
Before she could fully understand what was going on, Wei Guiqin, who had come to take over, came over with a thermos bucket. As soon as she entered the ward, she took off her thick gloves and hat and came over to check on her husband's symptoms.
"How was your dad last night?" she asked.
"I couldn't sleep in the first half of the night because of the pain, but it got better in the second half." Su Hanyan glanced at her sleeping father, bent down and picked up the washbasin and towel under the bed, "I'll get some water to wipe Dad's face."
Su Dajiang woke up right after Su Hanyan left. He saw that his daughter was gone, but his wife was sitting beside the bed, peeling fruit and eating. He cleared his confused throat and asked, "Where's Yanyan?"
"She went to get some water." Seeing her husband wake up, Wei Guiqin quickly put down the fruit and knife in her hand and got up to get him something to eat. "Did the doctor say you can eat? I've prepared breakfast for you!"
"I can only drink porridge."
"I got up at five in the morning to make millet porridge for you. It's cooked till soft!" Wei Guiqin served him a small bowl of rice and came to his side to feed him with a spoon. "Are you starving? Eat more and you'll get better soon! By the way, there's one more thing I need to tell you. The leaders in your factory heard about this yesterday and went to your home to express their condolences. They said they'd come to see you this morning! They'll be here soon!"
"Oh." Su Dajiang nodded, "This has alarmed the leader..."
"Of course not," Wei Guiqin said, with a smile on her face that she couldn't hide. "I understood what the leader meant yesterday. You've been working in the third line for so many years, and this is a great contribution! When you return to the factory this time, I'll definitely give you a promotion! I think you'll be made a workshop director! And it's a regular position!"
"Don't be too happy too soon." Su Dajiang said hoarsely, "This is not just a matter of one word from the leader. I haven't been back to the factory for seven or eight years. I don't know what the situation is."
"Isn't this just a matter of a word from the leader?" Wei Guiqin said with a smile, "You didn't report back to the factory yesterday. The leader learned about the situation from our eldest and third sons, and went to our house first. You see, this is how much they value you! When you recover, good days will come for our family."
By then, even if the younger daughter is unwilling to give up her job, once her husband becomes an official, won’t Lin Zhiqiu have a job?
This is simply a great thing!
When Su Hanyan brought the water in, she happened to hear what Wei Guiqin said. She thought to herself: Sure enough, she is still thinking about her son all the time, favoring sons over daughters, it's true!
