The next morning, Wu Xiaoliu went to work early. After these few days of turmoil, life should be getting back to normal.
When he arrived at the hospital, Ding Qiunan had already bought breakfast and was waiting for him in the examination room.
"You didn't eat breakfast this morning, did you?" Ding Qiunan skipped over to her husband like a little girl, took his handbag and hung it on the hook on the wall.
"Have you eaten?" Li Chu casually rubbed his wife's head.
"Ugh, you're so annoying." Ding Qiunan waved her hand away the large hand that was messing up her hair again.
"I've already eaten. You should eat quickly, it's getting cold."
After thinking about it, Li Chu told his wife about what had happened last night during dinner.
"So, if Uncle Liu and the others had arrested those two people last night, would this matter have been completely over?" Ding Qiunan asked.
"Well, you can put it that way. Once we catch the person, all that's left is interrogation."
"That's great, I can finally relax." Ding Qiunan clapped her hands happily. "Oh, by the way, go to the ward later and see if Qiaoyun can be discharged today."
"What did the obstetrician say?" Li Chu asked while eating.
"The doctor said it's almost over, all that's left is rest, there's no point in staying in the hospital any longer."
Li Chu nodded: "Okay, I'll go take a look later. It's good to go back, so Auntie won't have to run around every day."
Honey, how did you sleep last night? Do you want to take a nap?
"No need, I slept well last night. Let me tell you, Li Chu, our daughter-in-law is very well-behaved."
"What? How did she become my daughter-in-law?" Li Chu said with a wry smile.
“I don’t care, I’ve already decided on this daughter-in-law, and I’ve already talked to Qiaoyun about it.”
"The child's father doesn't even know about this yet, and you and Qiaoyun have already made up your minds?"
"I'll leave Wang Jun's side to you."
Since his wife had said that, what could Li Chu say? He could only agree first.
By the time the two children reached marriageable age, it was already the mid-1980s, a time when the Chinese people's minds were being impacted by the allure of the foreign world.
Who can say for sure what the two children will be like when that time comes?
But no matter what, the priority is to appease the wife first. As for the children, they will have their own lives to live. As long as the couple is happy, they will naturally set a good example for their children.
After finishing her meal, Ding Qiunan washed the lunchbox and went to work at the pharmacy.
Li Chu went directly to the ward to see Li Qiaoyun. Judging from her pulse, she was perfectly fine to be discharged, but she couldn't stop taking her medication after returning home.
Fortunately, Li Qiaoyun had not been able to produce milk due to health reasons, otherwise Li Chu really wouldn't know how to prescribe the medicine.
He helped with the discharge procedures and then called Uncle Wang's office to ask Zhang Meng to come and pick up Aunt Wang and the others to go home.
The First Evolution
When Aunt Wang and the others left, Ding Qiunan also came over to help pack their things. It was clear that they hadn't stayed for more than a few days, but they had already packed quite a few things, big and small.
At the hospital entrance, after seeing them off, Ding Qiunan breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah, now I can finally go home and sleep."
Looking at his wife's tired face and the faint dark circles under her eyes from staying up late these past few days, Li Chu said with heartache, "You've worked so hard, darling."
"Oh dear, we're outside, don't call out like that." Ding Qiunan blushed at her husband's sudden intimate address. She looked around shyly and, finding no one paying attention to them, relaxed.
"Hmph, I'm ignoring you, I'm going to work." With that, Ding Qiunan hopped away like a rabbit.
Li Chu watched her retreating figure with a smile, and he could clearly feel the joy in his wife's heart.
"Dr. Li, what are you doing standing at the front door?"
Just as Li Chu was about to go inside, he heard someone call his name from behind.
"Hello Dean Zhang, my relative was just discharged from the hospital, I'll see him off."
Vice Dean Zhang got off his bicycle: "Oh, is this your sister-in-law?"
Many people in the hospital assumed that he and Uncle Wang were uncle and nephew, and Li Chu was too lazy to explain.
"Yes, her health wasn't very good, and it was very dangerous for her to give birth back then."
Vice Dean Zhang nodded: "I heard Director Li say that if you hadn't gone in to give the acupuncture in time, it could have been dangerous."
"It's not as exaggerated as Director Li said. Even if I don't get the injection, they can still have a C-section."
Vice Dean Zhang smiled and tapped him with his hand: "You're always so modest. Alright, I'll go in first, I have some things to do over there."
Seeing Vice Dean Zhang push his bicycle inside, Li Chu then walked in, having only taken a few steps.
"Dr. Li, Dr. Li."
Hey, we can't get through this door.
Li Chu turned his head and saw that it was Grandpa Zhang from the gatehouse calling him.
"Uncle Zhang, what's the matter?"
Grandpa Zhang, who was at the gatehouse, waved a letter at him, saying, "Here's a letter for your wife. She just went in, and someone delivered it right after. Please take it to her."
Li Chu walked up to Grandpa Zhang, took the letter, and said, "Okay, thank you, Grandpa Zhang."
Grandpa Zhang smiled, waved, and walked into the gatehouse.
Li Chu took the letter and looked at it.
The letter was sent from Quanshui City in Dongshan Province. As far as I remember, my wife doesn't know anyone there.
Looking at the date on the postmark, wow, it's been almost a month. It's not that far from there, so how did it take so long?
Li Chu held the letter, turning it over and over, and looked at it for a long time. The letter wasn't thick, and he guessed there weren't many pages inside.
However, the letter paper inside was folded up, and it seemed to have been folded into a shape.
The handwriting on the envelope was quite beautiful, using a Song typeface.
Not noticing anything, Li Chu didn't pay any attention and walked towards the outpatient hall with the letter in his hand.
Upon entering the outpatient hall, I saw several people queuing at the window of the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy, waiting to get their medicine.
Li Chu hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked away. They were busy over there. He glanced at the letter in his hand and then walked out.
It's almost lunchtime, so I'll give it to her later.
Back in the consultation room, Li Chu casually placed the letter on his desk and poured himself a glass of water.
Sitting behind my desk, just as I was about to find something to do, I suddenly realized that I hadn't checked in for a long time. There was still an hour until lunchtime, which was enough.
Signing in, Li Chu, lost in thought, gave the order, followed by a series of ringing sounds that nearly made his head explode.
Why can't the sound be turned off? He groaned helplessly, resigned to his fate.
The ringing sound lasted for two or three minutes before it stopped.
