I got back to the main hospital just in time for lunch.
When he arrived at the small canteen, his food had already been served.
At noon, Ding Qiunan would serve him his lunch if he didn't give her prior notice. If he didn't come back after lunch, she would pack the food in a lunchbox and take it back with him.
"Where have you been all morning?"
"I went to the subdistrict office to get the land certificate and property certificate for that courtyard renewed, and then I went to Uncle Chen's place again."
"Uncle Chen is back?"
"Yes, this time he ran on and off for two months."
"Are you alright?"
"It's nothing, I just mentioned Huihui and Xiaoyi's marriage, and then..."
At this point, Li Chu turned his head to look around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he whispered, "He also mentioned that he would improve my treatment."
Upon hearing this, Ding Qiunan's big eyes immediately sparkled with dazzling light.
However, she also knew that this matter couldn't be known by others yet, so she lowered her voice and asked, "Really? When?"
"I don't know the exact time, but since Uncle Shen was able to say it, it's probably coming soon."
This was good news. Ding Qiunan gulped down a large spoonful of rice, her cheeks bulging, and her eyes narrowed into slits with joy.

Seeing his wife looking like a hamster, Li Chu couldn't help but laugh.
After finishing his meal and returning to his office, he coaxed his wife to sleep in the inner room before coming out and gently closing the door.
For some unknown reason, whenever Ding Qiunan took a nap, he had to go in and stay with her until she fell asleep before he could come out.
Thinking of this, Li Chu, who was already sitting behind his desk, showed a doting smile. His wife was getting more and more charming.
A lot of things have happened around him in the past few months. Just after the Qingming Festival last month, Uncle Wang officially retired, and then he took Aunt Wang to the southeast to visit their third son.
It's been almost a month, and he plans to call in the next couple of days to ask when his parents will be back. After all, they're getting old, and he's worried that something might have happened since they've been away from an inland city to the seaside for so long.
Also, just a week after Uncle Wang and his family left, his mother-in-law inexplicably fainted that morning.
It was when Ding's father woke up in the morning and saw that his wife hadn't woken up that he felt something was wrong. Ding's mother usually woke up earlier than him and was a very light sleeper, so she would wake up at the slightest noise.
That morning, he got out of bed and dressed, but Ding Ma still hadn't moved. He called her a few times, but there was no response. If she hadn't been breathing, the old man probably would have fainted.
Mr. Ding quickly woke up his son and daughter-in-law, and then he ran over to find his son-in-law.
When Li Chu came over, he took Ding Ma's pulse but found no symptoms. It seemed that Ding Ma was just asleep, just sleeping very soundly.
This made him deeply doubt his own medical skills.
In the end, the only way to wake Ding's mother up was through acupuncture. He then took her to the hospital for various Western medical examinations, but they still couldn't find any problems.
After that, Ding's mother seemed to return to normal, as if nothing had happened that morning.
The unknown is the most terrifying. During this time, Li Chu took out some ancient books left to him by his master and read them again. He also borrowed Western medicine books on neurology from the library and visited all the hospitals in Beijing, but he still couldn't find even a little bit of useful information.
They even contacted specialists in this field elsewhere through the health department, but still came up empty-handed.
What happened to Ding's mother terrified the whole family, especially Ding Qiunan, who seemed to become even more dependent on her husband because of it.
"Dong dong dong"
A knock on the door startled Li Chu from his thoughts. He stood up, went to open the door, and saw Zhao Zhijun standing outside.
"Boss, someone named Lin Guodong called, saying he's your senior apprentice..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Chu's expression changed; this day had finally come.
"Zhijun, go find Wenxuan and Wenhui. Tell Wenxuan to settle Yueyue in and then go to his cousin's father-in-law's house. Tell him that Yueyue shouldn't come over. Remember to call my sister's house to let them know about this. Also, have Tianjun prepare a car."
"yes"
Li Chu had already turned and walked into the inner room.
"young married woman"
"Um?"
"My uncle might not make it. His third son just called."
With a "whoosh," Ding Qiunan on the bed immediately opened her eyes, quickly sat up, and reached out to pull her husband into her arms, patting him twice.
"I'll go with you."
"good"
As Li Chu passed by Zhao Zhijun's office, he stopped and said, "Zhijun, go and tell the dean and the others that the address is in the municipal government compound."
"yes"
Once in the car, he closed his eyes, feeling unwell. Ding Qiunan sat beside him without saying a word, simply holding tightly to her man's arm.
When Jia Yuan gave birth last August, Li Chu knew that Uncle Lin had reached the end of his life.
However, at the time, Uncle Lin told him not to make a fuss, saying that he was already content to see the youngest fourth generation of the Lin family at the end of his life.
He fulfilled his uncle's final request.
Perhaps it was the joy brought by the birth of his twin great-grandsons that allowed Lin Sanshou, whose pregnancy was predicted to last only one or two months, to hold on for almost a year, but ultimately...
"Sigh," Li Chu sighed as he leaned back in the back seat, then gently patted his wife's hand.
"I'm fine."
Ding Qiunan looked at her husband with worry in her big eyes. She knew how important Uncle Lin was to her husband. It was not just a simple title like "Uncle Lin". Every step of his early career had the influence of Uncle Lin.
"Don't worry, I knew this day would come. I'm mentally prepared. I'm just a little reluctant. It's been over thirty years. I've known Uncle Lin for over thirty years. Besides my master, he's the one who has helped me the most."
At this moment, Ding Qiunan had no idea what to say. She could only hold her husband's arm tightly and say that she felt the same way. But when you're not in the situation, no one can say those four words.
She could clearly feel the grief in her husband's heart. After so many years of marriage, this was the first time she had sensed this kind of emotion from her husband.
Seeing her husband's slightly red eyes, she sighed inwardly.
"Tian Jun, go home first."
"yes"
Li Chu glanced at his wife with some confusion.
“Let’s go home and change our clothes first. It’s not appropriate for you to go there in your military uniform. There are many things that need to be addressed.”
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
