Chapter 4: A Petite Group
The day of the operation soon arrived, and Xiao Nanxing followed Director Liao into the operating room.
The Tang family and the dean were outside. Pei Zhengping helped Mr. Tang lie down and coaxed him.
"Just treat it as a nap. Do you still not trust Director Liao's skills?"
Mr. Tang muttered, "I'm afraid I won't wake up. I won't be able to close my eyes until I see you get married."
Pei Zhengping didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, okay, just to watch me get married, nothing will happen to you, I promise."
Pei Zhengping changed into sterile clothing and personally pushed him into the operating room.
Looking at the various instruments, Elder Tang became nervous. "I was most afraid of entering the operating room because none of my brothers had ever left the operating room..."
Pei Zhengping held his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's just a minor operation. I will be by your side."
Tang Lao was not willing to do it anymore. "Let's go, let's go. You have a lot of things to do. You don't need to stay here with me. If I really die, I can go down and reunite with my brothers earlier."
Director Liao stood aside and didn't dare to speak. He really wanted to say that his skills were not bad enough to handle this minor operation. If Mr. Tang continued to talk, he would be sweating profusely.
Pei Zhengping insisted, "It's only half an hour. It won't interfere with my work. You can rest assured that I'm with you..."
He was afraid that he would change his mind and not have the surgery.
Once the old kid gets willful, no one can do anything about him. I don't know how much trouble they had to put in to coax him into the hospital this time.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure quietly move towards his grandfather's head.
There were already a few disinfectant silver needles pinched on her slender fingers, and she glanced at him indifferently with a pair of clear eyes.
Pei Zhengping paused to attract his grandfather's attention, "I promise you, as soon as you finish this operation, I will find a partner."
"Really? You can't scare me again... uh..." Before he could finish his words, he fainted.
Everyone watched as Xiao Nanxing calmly inserted a few more needles, his brows serene. "Alright, Director Liao, start the operation."
Director Liao almost gave her a thumbs-up, suppressing the corners of his mouth that turned up, and asked, "Secretary Pei, what do you think?"
Pei Zhengping released his hand and stepped back, "Let's get started."
Everyone moved quickly, and Xiao Nanxing retreated to his seat and stared blankly.
Pei Zhengping had stood beside her at some point, and when he glanced down, he found that her eyes were empty and she was already lost in thought.
Considering his height, she looked very small, curled up on the stool like a petite ball, without any trace of the decisiveness of her life in Xiaolin Village.
As if she noticed his gaze, she raised her eyes and looked at him indifferently.
Just one glance and then looked away, without fear, anxiety or tension, just looking at him with the calmness as if he were looking at an ordinary person.
Pei Zhengping retracted his gaze, looked at the operating table and thought to himself that the wound on his abdomen seemed a little itchy.
Her suturing skills are very good and new flesh started growing so quickly.
After nearly an hour, Director Liao successfully removed the shrapnel, quickly sutured the wound, and completed the operation.
Xiao Nanxing waited until they were done before she stood up and took off the silver needle. She had nothing to do afterwards, so she turned and left.
Director Liao had told her that she could be given two days off after finishing Dr. Tang's surgery. Xiao Nanxing still went to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine to say hello to Fei Dabai.
Fei Dabai waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, have a good rest."
He also didn't expect that Xiao Nanxing was so talented and had become famous throughout the hospital, bringing honor to the entire Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Hehe, let’s see who dares to propose abolishing the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department.
As if she had finished her work, Li Xiaoxiao excitedly contacted her, "Sister, don't forget each other when you become rich."
Knowing that she was busy, she didn't dare to disturb her these two days. Listening to the various legends in the courtyard, she was proud of her sister.
Woohoo, Nanxing finally started to shine again. Damn Luo Jiabao, damn Luo family, they will die a miserable death sooner or later.
Xiao Nanxing smiled, put down his backpack, held his phone and went to get the health tea, "Wake up, read less novels."
What wealth? In the eyes of the Celestial Dragons, what she did was just a matter of course and her duty.
They should thank the hospital, not her, a small fry.
She hoped that the hospital would take over the wealth and give her a salary increase. That was all she hoped for.
Li Xiaoxiao was not surprised at her awakening. "Okay, I woke up from my dream. Let's eat hot pot after get off work to celebrate my happiness."
"Okay, you go to work. I want to rest." She hadn't felt so tired in a long time after following Director Liao's intensive training.
But in the evening, they didn't have hotpot. Li Xiaoxiao was called back by her mother to eat, but in fact she was arranging a blind date for her.
Xiao Nanxing has become accustomed to being alone.
He eats alone, reads and studies alone, makes medicine alone, buys pork legs alone to exercise wrist stability, and studies various ancient prescriptions alone.
Life is simple, but not lonely, and I enjoy myself.
The next morning, she packed her backpack and headed to the old town, now known as Dafu Road.
After parking her electric scooter, she looked up at the unfinished buildings and sighed silently.
It’s been almost four years. When can she move into the house left to her by her grandfather?
Xiao Nanxing turned into an unfinished building on the left. Many of the houses there had windows installed, indicating that people lived there.
But the roof of this place has not been completed yet, let alone the green infrastructure and property. There are construction materials and garbage everywhere, and there is nowhere to step.
She climbed up to the seventh floor and knocked on Aunt Gui's door. The house had only painted walls and simple furniture, barely habitable.
"Nanxing, you're here. Oh, I always ask you to come in person."
Aunt Gui greeted her with a smile and offered her some water and fruit. "Have you had breakfast?"
"I ate it. How has Uncle Gui been these days?"
Aunt Gui sighed, "I can walk down for a few steps, but I'm still in a bad mood. I'm worried about the house. You see, we invested all our life's money in it, and it ended up like this. Who can swallow this?"
She wiped away her tears and said, "The fifth brother's family upstairs quarrels every day. His wife can't stand it anymore and wants to divorce him with the children."
The house hasn't been built yet, the developer ran away, and the previous leader in charge of this matter was sent to jail. They have no idea who will solve such a big mess, and they see no hope at all.
Xiao Nanxing patted her, stood up and went to give Uncle Gui acupuncture. Seeing that his hair had turned white in just a few years, his heart ached.
She refused Aunt Gui's invitation to stay for dinner and went to continue her medical treatment with her old neighbor in another building.
She refused to take any money, so they stuffed her with all kinds of food. Xiao Nanxing only took a little bit as a reward.
At the end of the day, I ate some buns I brought with me and ran around to see all the objects. It was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Standing on the road, the area looks like a ghost town.
There were only a few sparse lights, no voices or vehicles, which formed a sharp contrast with the brilliant lights in the distance.
Xiao Nanxing put on her backpack and listened to the empty echo of her footsteps. She felt a little cold on her back, so she quickened her pace and ran towards her electric scooter.
No, there is someone behind me, and the footsteps of someone catching up are clearly heavier and heavier.
