Chapter 408: Using Connections (Page 1/2)
After dinner, Lin Man brought out two woven bags from the kitchen. Each bag contained two air-dried chickens, a pile of dried seafood, and various dried vegetables and fruits.
He Wen looked at the woven bags on the ground, feeling a bit overwhelmed. Huo Li explained, "These are local specialties that Aunt Qingci asked someone to bring back from the island. We can't finish them all, so we'll give some to each of you."
As soon as He Xudong opened the bag, he knew what was inside. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't open his mouth.
He said to his brother, "Keep them. They're just some local specialties. Please take good care of Xiao Ci in the future."
Huo Li suddenly thought of something and said, "Dean He, can the nurse named Luo Can in the cardiovascular department be transferred to another department?"
He Wen was a little confused. Why did Mr. Huo suddenly care about a nurse? "Mr. Huo, what happened to that nurse?"
"Nothing. I think she's a little too enthusiastic about my Qingci. After all, she's unmarried, and it's not a good influence on Qingci."
He Wen looked at Huo Qingci and saw that he had no expression on his face. He then looked at Lin Man who was busy running around. It seemed that the man named Luo Can had bad intentions.
Come to think of it, Huo Qingci is not only handsome, but also an excellent doctor, not to mention his family background. Most girls would be attracted to him after spending time with him, right?
"Don't worry, Mr. Huo. I'll transfer Nurse Luo to another department when I get back."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Huo Qingci knew that if he brought up this matter, others would doubt his relationship with Luo Can. He was right to let his grandfather handle it, so he stayed out of it.
A week later, Luo Can was inexplicably transferred to the rehabilitation department. Sun Jian was upset. He hadn't even started using this chess piece yet, so how could it be taken away?
He looked at Huo Qingci who was diligently writing the medical record and thought, could it be him who did this? Could he know that Luo Can liked him?
After Li Jia knew that Luo Can had been transferred to the rehabilitation department, she ran to find Luo Can after get off work and asked, "Cancan, why were you transferred to the rehabilitation department?"
Luo Can looked frustrated. "I don't know either. It's arranged by the higher-ups. Well, now it's all over. I won't have time to chat with you anymore."
The most important thing is that she can't see her idol anymore. If she goes to the cardiology department after get off work, it is estimated that everyone will be off work.
She couldn't just go to someone else's house, and they were not in the same department, so how could she find a reason to go there?
Why was she transferred to the rehabilitation department? Could it be that Dr. Huo arranged for someone to transfer her there? Forget it. That man is heartless. She won't pursue him anymore.
"Cancan, I heard that the military region will prepare a social gathering for New Year's Day, and unmarried men and women are welcome to sign up. Aren't you single? You can find one."
"Not interested."
"Cancan, Huo Qingci has a wife and children."
"I know. I didn't know what was wrong with me at the time. I just thought he was so amazing. No one was better than him."
"Cancan, that's admiration, not love. When you get married and have children for your man, you'll know what true love is."
Luo Can lowered his eyes, "I understand. I won't bother him anymore. Jia Jia, do you know what true love is?"
Li Jia smiled shyly, "Of course I know what love is. I feel happy when I see my partner, and I blush when he praises me. If I don't see him, I will miss him. I want to get married with him as soon as possible and give him six or seven children, preferably five sons and two daughters."
Luo Can chuckled, "You're a pig, giving birth to so many!"
"My grandmother gave birth to thirteen children, and only six survived. None of us can guarantee that all our children will survive, so it's always good to have more.
You know, a ten-year-old child died in our department yesterday. He died before he even got off the operating table."
Luo Can's scalp tingles when she thinks about having so many children. When she looks for a partner in the future, she will definitely find one who will only let her have two children. She won't have more than that.
She thought it would be great if Dr. Huo was not married, then she could openly find a matchmaker to help her find a marriage.
"Jia Jia, who performed the surgery?"
"It was done by Dr. Sun. The director originally assigned this patient to Dr. Huo, but Dr. Sun said he had only performed two operations this month, so the director assigned the young patient to him.
Dr. Sun's surgery failed, and I don't think he'll be promoted to deputy director this time."
Luo Can's eyes lit up, "Wouldn't that mean Dr. Huo will be promoted?"
"Right? Doctor Huo is the living poster child for cardiovascular medicine. He's been here for so long and hasn't had a single failed surgery. Even when the director's father-in-law needed surgery, Doctor Huo assisted in the surgery."
Luo Can exclaimed with admiration: "Doctor Huo is really amazing. It's a pity that you were born before I was born, otherwise I would have married him."
Li Jia pushed Luo Can and said, "You'd better wake up. The reason you were transferred to this department this time might be Dr. Huo's doing."
Luo Can had actually thought it was him a long time ago, but she was still Li Jia, "How did you know?"
"Doctor Sun was joking about you, saying he didn't know why you were transferred, and wondered if you were getting in someone's way.
I thought you were interfering with Dr. Huo, so he reported you to his superiors and had you transferred."
Luo Can was even more sad when she heard this. Li Jia saw her sullen face and comforted her, "Two-legged frogs are hard to find, but three-legged men are plentiful. Why do you have to be so obsessed with a flower? That flower already has someone else."
"I know, don't try to persuade me."
"Sister, listen to my advice. Doctor Huo is a rare talent, and we are just dispensable nurses. Think about it, if you continue to get involved, you might even lose your job.
Although we work in a military hospital, we are external staff and do not hold military positions, so if something goes wrong we will be abandoned.
Don't be impulsive. If you lose your job, not only your future but also your family will be ruined."
Luo Can's eyes were filled with tears as he looked at Li Jia pitifully. "I understand. I won't make the same mistake again. When I get over it, I'll listen to my brother and go on a blind date."
Li Jia hugged Luo Can and patted him gently. "There are three days off during the Chinese New Year. You can go on a blind date. Let's get married together on May Day next year. Then we can have children together and see who has more."
Luo Can pushed Li Jia away and said, "Go away, I'm not competing with you in having children. If we're going to compete, it's about whose man has the higher salary."
Li Jia said: "My boyfriend earns 46 yuan a month, and I don't think his salary will increase in the next two years. If you find someone better, how can I compete with you?
If we want to compare, let’s compare whose man is more handsome. Anyway, my boyfriend is pretty good-looking, fair-skinned and well-mannered.
Luo Can thought to herself, where can she find a good-looking guy to compare with Li Jia? There are few tender-skinned and tender-looking men in the army. Doctor Huo is good-looking, but unfortunately she is already taken.

Ever since Ling Fei died, Song Jingjing has been staying at her mother's house. She was also afraid that the Ye family would go crazy and blame her for all the mistakes.
Moreover, she has someone to take care of her when she lives in her mother's home. Except for the fact that her lover is not around, she eats well and sleeps well. When she is pregnant, her mother will help her wash her clothes.
If she goes back to live there, she can't possibly ask her mother-in-law to wash her underwear!
As the due date was approaching, Xiao Ya saw that her daughter-in-law had not returned and prepared to go to the Song family to pick her up.
Finally, Tang Lihong went to the Song family with various supplements and explained, "My dear relatives, Ling Fei died after having an abortion at the Air Force Hospital. I want Jingjing to give birth in the city, otherwise we are worried."
Xiao Ya sighed and said, "Actually, the medical level of the military hospital is quite good. Ling Fei's incident was also an accident."
Tang Lihong smiled awkwardly, "My dear relatives, I only have two children, a boy and a girl, both of whom are my treasures. I am worried about letting her go to the military hospital to give birth.
We have contacted the doctor at the People's Hospital. After the birth, I will let Jingjing come back to recuperate after the baby is born. If you have time, please come and see her and the baby."
Xiao Ya understood that Song Jingjing didn't want her to interfere when she was giving birth, but what would outsiders say if they didn't care?
Besides, her son is not around. When Huo Qingyan comes back, Song Jingjing will go and tell tales again. Wouldn't the couple be in a difficult position?
Xiao Ya suggested, "My dear relatives, how about this? Jingjing gives birth in the city, and I'll take her back home to recuperate after giving birth."
Tang Lihong thought that if Xiao Ya really stayed at home to take care of her daughter, she would naturally agree. The problem was that Xiao Ya didn't say that she would stay at home to take care of the child.
At that time, her daughter will be alone at home with the child waiting for her mother-in-law to come back and cook. It will be fine for a day or two, but after a long time, Xiao Ya will definitely blame her daughter for not being able to do anything.
Because her son-in-law was not at home and her daughter did not want to live with her parents-in-law, she let her daughter move back.
"My dear, have you asked for leave? If you have, then let Jingjing finish her confinement period before returning."
Xiao Ya said bluntly: "Before Xiao Man gave birth, I also took leave to take care of her for half a year, and she took care of the child by herself after that time."
If she continues to help the second son's wife take care of the children, she will definitely annoy the eldest son's wife. Moreover, she cannot retire directly now. Even if she wants to retire early, she will have to wait for two more years.
Tang Lihong also knew that even if Xiao Ya took care of Jingjing and the child, it would only be for half a year. It would be better to just leave the child at their home. At least there would be someone at home every day.
When the time comes, my daughter will go to work and the child will stay at their home. Anyway, her son and daughter-in-law are easy to talk to.
If Xiao Ya is willing to help her daughter take care of the child, then let Jingjing go back.
Tang Lihong asked tentatively, "My dear, your company should also be able to arrange early retirement, right?"
Xiao Ya looked at Tang Lihong and replied softly, "Even if I retire early, I can only wait two more years. Now there is no need to retire early. I can take six months of sick leave."
Tang Lihong felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, but she still smiled and said, "I understand, my mother-in-law has her own things to do.
But Jingjing is having such a hard time raising a child by herself. How can we, as parents, just sit there and do nothing? How about this: the child will stay at our house until he's six months old, and when Jingjing starts working, you can take him back."
Xiao Ya frowned and said hesitantly, "This... isn't a good idea. I think I'll take leave to take care of the child until he's six months old. After that, I'll have Jingjing hire someone to look after him. I'll have time when I retire."
Seeing Xiao Ya's resolute attitude, Tang Lihong stopped forcing her and said, "Then let Jingjing decide for herself. Whether she wants to go back to her parents' home or not, it's up to her."
Xiao Ya nodded in agreement. Then, they returned to their room and asked Song Jingjing what she planned to do.
Song Jingjing looked at Xiao Ya with her big belly and said, "Mom, I'd better stay at my parents' house to give birth. When I go back to work, you can come and help me take care of the baby."
Huo Qingyan was not at home, and Song Jingjing actually didn't want to live with her mother-in-law. She was used to eating meals cooked by her own mother and didn't like the food cooked by her mother-in-law.
Besides, Ling Fei was dead, and she was afraid that the Ye family would deliberately cause trouble for her. If possible, she wanted to wait for Huo Qingyan to come back before going back.
I don’t know when Huo Qingyan will come back. We agreed to wait for two years, but he might be delayed for a few months due to other things.
Her due date is around the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month (January 5th), and I don’t know if it will come earlier.
Seeing that Song Jingjing didn't respond, Xiao Ya had no choice but to agree with her. "Since you don't need my help with the child, then I'll treat it as you hiring someone to take care of the child. We'll help you with the expenses for the next six months. You can take these two hundred yuan. As for the red envelope for the child, I'll give it to you after the baby is born."
There is no way. She has more than one son, and as a mother-in-law, she must treat them all equally. It would be bad if these things caused unrest in the family.
Song Jingjing took the money and said, "Thank you, Mom. I know. I won't make things difficult for you."
"Good boy, I'll take some time off to go to the hospital and take care of you during the days you're giving birth. Are you sure you want to go to the People's Hospital to give birth? I heard that the Maternal and Child Health Hospital specializes in childbirth. Do you want to go there?"
Song Jingjing shook her head. "No, we have acquaintances at the People's Hospital. Parents will feel more at ease if they have acquaintances around."
Tang Lihong agreed with a smile, "Yes, yes. I feel relieved when someone I know looks after Jingjing. We only have this one daughter. Ling Fei was so miserable. She lost her life just from a miscarriage."
After being visited by the Ye family, Xiao Ya felt a wave of fear in her heart. She didn't dare to think about Ling Fei anymore and just wanted to put the matter behind her.
But seeing Tang Lihong's worried look, he couldn't help but explain, "We really can't blame the hospital for this. Ling Fei's blood type is too special, and she just donated a kidney not long ago, so her body is already weak."
Xiao Ya paused, then continued, "And with her blood type, even if she's healthy, when she gives birth, she'll have a hemolytic reaction due to the incompatibility of the mother and child's blood types, leading to heavy bleeding."
After hearing what Xiao Ya said, Tang Lihong couldn't help but sigh: "That girl has such a miserable life!"
She thought of Ling Fei, her heart filled with regret. If Ling Fei had been able to stay in peace after marrying Huo Qingyan, not to file for divorce, and not to go to the Wang family to recognize her relatives, perhaps everything would have been different.
At most, there would be some risks during childbirth, but at least there would be no life-threatening danger. But now, everything is too late.
Tang Lihong began to worry about Huo Qingyan. If he came back and learned about his ex-wife's death, she wondered if he could withstand such a blow.
At the same time, she was also worried about her daughter and afraid that she would be hurt.
However, who made her daughter so deeply in love with Huo Qingyan? Every day, the daughter praised Huo Qingyan in front of her parents and talked about his various advantages.
