"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Li Chu smiled and took the bag, not expecting it to be so heavy.
Li Chu opened the bag and glanced inside. There were four red-covered ID cards, a Type 54 pistol, and a small cardboard box.
"This is……"
"Oh, Dr. Li, I see there are quite a few people outside your clinic, so it's not convenient for me to go over and talk to you. Please get in the car, and I'll tell you in the car."
Li Chu walked to the passenger side, opened the car door, and got in.
After Li Chu sat down, the man immediately said, "The four documents in the bag are your and your spouse's employment permits and gun licenses. If you usually carry a gun, bring these documents with you as well. Both documents must be complete."
The other gun is for your spouse. Director Liu also said that the gun Director Chen gave you can be used from now on. That box contains fifty rounds of ammunition.”
As he spoke, the man took out a form and handed it to Li Chu: "Dr. Li, please check that gun and verify the serial number. If there are no problems, please sign it so I can file it when I get back."
Li Chu took out a gun from his bag, checked it, and verified the serial number. Then he took out the gun that Director Chen had left behind from his bag and verified the serial number again.
He took out the brown paper box again, opened it, and roughly counted the number of bullets; everything was fine.
After checking all four documents and confirming that everything was in order, Li Chu took out his pen and signed his name on the handover form.
"Dr. Li, all the formalities are done, so I won't take up any more of your time. I see you have quite a few patients waiting for you."
"Okay, thank you so much for making the trip."
"Don't mention it, it's what I should do."
Li Chu opened the car door and got out, but just as he was about to leave, the man called him back: "Dr. Li, Director Liu asked me to pass on a message to you. He said you should know when to use the gun and when not to, but no matter what happens, you should notify him and Director Chen immediately."
After listening, Li Chu nodded: "Okay, I understand."
With work starting soon, Li Chu didn't waste any more time and hurried to her clinic.
Nurse Su from the director's office was already helping to maintain order at the entrance.
"Dr. Li, you've arrived. Director Sun asked me to come here with you today."
"Thank you, Nurse Su."
Upon entering the consultation room, Li Chu put down his purse, tidied up the room briefly, and began seeing patients.
After seeing nearly twenty pregnant women that morning, Li Chu felt dizzy and lightheaded by the time she finished get off work.
After having lunch with his wife, Li Chu took out the purse he had received that morning when he returned to his clinic to rest.
He took out the documents he had prepared for Ding Qiunan and handed them to her.
"What are these?" Ding Qiunan asked, taking the two documents with a puzzled look and flipping through them.
"Huh, this is for me? Why is there a gun license too?"
"Uncle Chen and Uncle Liu took care of it." As he spoke, Li Chu took out a gun from his bag and placed it on the table: "Is this for you?"
Ding Qiunan stared in surprise at the gun on the table, pointing at it with her mouth agape and saying, "Is this for me too?"
"Yes, it's especially for you."
Ding Qiunan carefully picked it up: "It's so heavy!"
"It's not loaded with bullets yet," Li Chu said with a smile.
"Li Chu, will you take me shooting sometime?"
“Okay, let’s have a gathering this week, or next week. Then my brother-in-law can bring his bureau’s car and we can go to Mentougou.”
"It's a promise, okay? Don't try to fool me," Ding Qiunan said happily.
"Oh, what's so surprising about that?"
Seeing his wife still holding the gun with obvious affection, Li Chu took it from her hand and said, "Alright, stop playing with it. Go get some sleep. You can play with it again when we get home tonight."
Ding Qiunan still looked at the gun in Li Chu's hand with reluctance. It wasn't that she particularly liked the thing, but now that it was hers, the feeling in her heart was different.
The number of pregnant women who came in the afternoon was finally reduced, and I also saw a few other patients to clear my head.
The next day, Thursday, October 12, Li Chu arrived at the courtyard where the central command was on duty in the morning.
When I entered the compound, I sensed a strange atmosphere; it seemed like everyone coming and going was quite excited.
When they arrived at the courtyard where the health care team was on duty, several people had already arrived and were gathered together looking at something, pointing and gesturing.
Li Chu also went over, and only after taking a closer look did he realize that they were reading newspapers.
However, this newspaper gives off a somewhat strange feeling.
It has only one page, and the header is always in red font.
The title below is also in red font.
Li Chu squeezed forward, peered out, and his eyes widened instantly.
The newspaper's masthead has the name of the daily newspaper on the left and the words "Extra Edition" on the right.
The headline below was: "That young lady from Northwest China got married."
Li Chu felt an uncontrollable surge of excitement rushing to his head.
No wonder everyone in the compound seemed so excited; how could they not be?
I checked the time again, and the wedding was scheduled for 3 PM yesterday.
This is a special edition published this morning.
Li Chu didn't stay there to watch. He went to the duty room, sat behind the desk, and silently calculated the time. This date was five days earlier than in his previous life.
Did the information I released contribute to this?
No one can say for sure, but that didn't dampen his excitement.
He naturally assumed that he deserved some credit for this.
However, this credit could not be shared.
Now our country no longer needs to worry about the threats from those Western powers.
All day long, the whole compound was abuzz with discussion about it, and everyone's face beamed with pride.
Everyone was a bit distracted from their work, and it was the same in the duty room. Usually, the few TCM doctors who were at home would get together to discuss some cases when they had nothing to do.
Hundred Alliance Book
We got together again today, but we were mostly talking about the young lady who got married.
Li Chu specially obtained a special edition of the newspaper, and he planned to frame it and preserve it when he got back.
When I rode my bike home from get off work in the afternoon, people on the street started talking about it. In just one day, it should have become common knowledge.
When he got home, Ding Qiunan was already back, and there were three guests who had brought their own food.
"Chairman Lou, Mrs. Lou, Xiao'e, what brings you here?"
"Dr. Li, we came here today to confirm something with you. Also, knowing that you've just finished get off work, we brought some food with us. Let's have a meal together at your place."
"Welcome, Mr. Lou. It's a bit inappropriate for me to bring my own food when I come as a guest!"
