After receiving the invitation, Liu Xiangyun and others breathed a sigh of relief. After they were relieved, they all ran to the family compound to attend the third day baptism ceremony.
Although washing the third day of the lunar year is no longer allowed, people still wash themselves out of consideration when the door is closed.
"Our little babe is so pitiful. Auntie loves him so much."
Liu Xiangyun had paid most of the betrothal money out of her own pocket for her brother, and her brother had returned the money to her a few days ago. She now had enough money.
The first thing he did was to give away a longevity lock and a gold collar.
Ruan Tang was startled by her generosity, and Liu Xiangyun waved her hand indifferently.
"Who made Xiao Yiyi's aunt rich? I originally prepared a longevity lock, but when I thought about how pitiful Xiao Yiyi was, I added a gold necklace."
Meng Yun and the others also felt that the little brat was too pitiful, and the gifts they gave him were very valuable.
Ruan Tang said helplessly, "Looks like I have to go back to work tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll default on my debt after you give birth."
Several women teased the little boy for the entire afternoon before dispersing.
Ruan Tang filed everything she had received away and hid it in the bottom of a box. While these items weren't expensive, they weren't something she could show anyone right now. She could keep them for her son when he got married.
After the full moon banquet at noon, Ruan Xu and her mother were about to return to Beijing.
Ruan's mother wanted to stay, but was persuaded to go back by Xie Jiang and his wife.
With Aunt Xie and Grandma Ji at home, it's no problem taking care of the little one.
Ruan Tang herself was also worried about her mother staying. Given Ruan's personality, she might not even remember to eat.
With everyone's insistence, Ruan's mother followed Ruan Yu back to Beijing.
Ruan Tang put aside her feelings of parting, took the wedding candies and eggs and went to the hospital, and then went to the Health Department again.
The old leader asked Ruan Tang a few questions with concern.
It was he who specially approved Ruan Tang's extra-long maternity leave. "Are you really okay?"
"Well, it's okay. I came here specifically to cancel my leave with you."
Seeing that Ruan Tang was not trying to be stubborn, the old leader took a wedding egg and peeled it and ate it with confidence.
While eating, he said, "The National Flow Conference will still be held in Shanghai. But because of the Scissors Society incident, we didn't go. I want you to lead the team and bring the provincial capital team to Shanghai."
"What's the matter, old man?"
The old leader shook his head and said, "It's nothing. You are old enough to give you young people a chance."
Ruan Tang's mind fluttered. "I might not be able to handle this responsibility."
"What are you afraid of? I'm not retired yet. I'll take care of you if anything happens."
Ruan Tang came out of the Health Department and went back home to get some wedding candy and eggs and went to the market.
Ji Nanfeng had taken charge of the wedding eggs and candies from several factories that the manufacturer had cooperated with. She had to go to the city in person to deliver some wedding candies to Guo Dongzhen.
Ji Nanfeng said that when she was in confinement after giving birth, Guo Dongzhen sent her two hens.
Later, when she was out of confinement and feeling depressed, Guo Dongzhen also came and brought her wild ginseng he had collected from a fellow villager.
Because the full moon banquet was not too high-profile and they were afraid of being reported, they only invited He Kun's family and did not invite Guo Dongzhen.
But the wedding candies and eggs still need to be delivered in person.
As Ruan Tang jumped off her bicycle at the entrance to the market, she saw that the gate of the market was surrounded by people.
"You unscrupulous hospital, you wicked doctors! You said my son's mouth could be cured, but now it's worse than before! Pay me! You must pay me!"
There were reporters taking pictures on the side.
Ruan Tang eavesdropped at the door and saw a scar of surgery on the lip of the troublemaker's son, and had a vague guess in her mind.
Could these people be here to cause trouble with Guo Dongzhen?
Ruan Tang entered the Municipal Hospital from the back door. The security guard said that the hospital was holding a discussion meeting on Guo Dongzhen’s medical accident.
Ruan Tang went straight to the city hall's conference room without thinking.
It is not easy for Guo Dongzhen to regain his confidence in the plastic surgery department, but he should not think about changing departments because of this incident.
"Dear leaders and colleagues, the treatment process for cleft lip is a sequential process and cannot be completed in one step. The first operation will only repair the cleft lip. In the second operation, I will ask the dentist to help repair the cracked tooth ridge..."
"All of this was written down on the preoperative consent form before the surgery, and the family members were informed and signed it."
"So, I didn't do anything wrong, and I won't apologize to the family or offer compensation."
Many medical staff had seen this child with cleft lip and were whispering, "There's a big difference between before and after the surgery. At least the cleft lip was sutured, and the scar is very small."
The director of the municipal hospital sighed helplessly, "I know there's nothing wrong with your order, Xiao Guo, but the problem now is that the family members are making a fuss and have surrounded our hospital. It's been seven days now, and they've been surrounding us every day. If this continues, our hospital will go bankrupt."
The vice president also sighed, "Our hospital is located in the suburbs, and normally it's all subsidized by government funding. If we run out of patients, the higher-ups might just shut us down. So many of our medical staff and nurses would be out of a job."
Other leaders also urged Guo Dongzhen to apologize proudly, and as compensation, they would give him a place to study in Shanghai.
"According to hospital practice, the compensation is split 50/50 between the hospital and the department. But considering that Xiao Guo's instructions are correct, the hospital will pay 300, and the remaining 200 will be deducted from the plastic surgery department."
Guo Dongzhen frowned as he listened to the hospital leader make a decision for him in a few words, and then heard his colleagues trying to smooth things over, asking him to consider the overall situation and be patient.
But he didn't want to endure it for a moment.
For this case, he practiced daily with his scalpel and needle to minimize scarring. His efforts paid off, as the scar left on the repaired area was minimal.
But who would have thought that the family would come to the door and make trouble just after the patient was discharged from the hospital.
At first, his leaders and colleagues thought he was unlucky. He was performing a very successful operation, but he encountered a family member who was making trouble.
After seven days of trouble, the leader and colleagues changed their attitude and wanted to calm the situation down and not make it any bigger.
"How about this, Xiao Guo, get ready and come to the door with me to apologize."
The dean walked out of the conference room first, but after a few steps, Guo Dongzhen did not follow him.
"Xiao Guo?"
Guo Dongzhen pondered for a long time, followed the dean and walked to the door.
The hospital leader asked the family members to be quiet.
"Fellow villagers, this is Dr. Guo! He's here to apologize to the families."
Guo Dongzhen glanced at the seven-year-old patient and his family, and the family did not feel ashamed at all.
This family probably has long forgotten how they thanked him and shed tears for him when the child was discharged from the hospital, thanking him for being their doctor.
"I still say the same thing. I have a clear conscience. I can also directly say that the first operation was a success!"
Guo Dongzhen took out the preoperative consent form from the pocket of his gown. "The treatment plan is clearly written, and it has several stages! It's written in black and white, and you even put your red fingerprints on it!"
In order to study the surgical plan, Guo Dongzhen paid for the photos of the child himself, including full-body photos, facial photos, and close-ups of the lips.
Unexpectedly, because of his diligence and dedication, these photos could still be used to defend his rights.
He showed the photos one by one to everyone.
"Look at the pre-operative photos, and then look at the real person. If you still insist that the operation failed, then I have nothing to say!"
The family didn't care about the evidence; they just made the child open his mouth for everyone to see. "How can you call this a successful surgery if it's just a superficial repair? I knew you civil servants only care about superficial work, and you don't even want to apologize. You treat us farmers like fools!"
When the hospital leaders heard that the matter had escalated to such a serious level, they immediately ordered Guo Dongzhen to apologize!
Otherwise, the hospital won’t pay a penny of the 500 yuan compensation!
"I'd rather not wear this gown!"
