Chapter 187: Try to guess
Zhuang Hualin’s father was even more surprised to see his daughter appear in the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou Medical College. He thought Hualin was still in the mountains of Guizhou. He came to see a doctor today because he felt a little unwell. He didn’t expect to see his daughter in the hospital.
"Hua Lin? When did you come back? Why didn't you go home to visit?" Lao Deng asked excitedly.
One of the two sons went to the northwest, and the other was on a long business trip. Only the old lady, her daughter-in-law and two grandsons were left at home. The old lady was in poor health and could not do much work. Her daughter-in-law took their pensions and only took care of herself and the two children.
The old couple had a hard time in the past few months. Even when they were sick, there was no one to accompany them and they had to go to the hospital by themselves. Now that he sees his daughter becoming a doctor in the best hospital in Suzhou, Lao Deng finally sees hope. If the Hualin couple are willing to take care of themselves, their life will be much better than it is now.
So he kept asking, "Why did you come to Suzhou to work? Did you divorce Xiangdong and transfer back? Who helped you do that?"
Nowadays, there are many couples who divorce and abandon their children in order to return to the city. Lao Deng thought that Zhuang Hualin was just like those people, abandoning her husband and children to return home. But he couldn't understand why she came to the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou Medical College. It was good enough for ordinary people to get a job in a small clinic. But it didn't matter. The more powerful his daughter's unit was, the better. He even began to imagine himself lying comfortably in the ward of the best hospital in Suzhou, enjoying the beautiful scene of his daughter taking care of him meticulously.
If that's the case, my daughter-in-law would probably treat me better, right? No matter how mean she is, she should know what a good doctor in a good hospital means. Who in this world doesn't get sick? If she and Zhendong and Zhenbei get sick, won't they still have to come to Hualin for help? "I'm not as mean as you. Xiangdong and I are doing fine!" Zhuang Hualin didn't bother to mention Xiangdong's work to him, and asked directly, "Do you want to see the doctor? If not, next one!"
"Take a look." Lao Deng didn't hear the indifference in Hualin's words, or maybe he didn't have much impression of his daughter and didn't understand her character at all. Lao Deng thought it was working hours and it was not appropriate to talk about private topics.
So he sat down quickly and talked out his problems one by one.
Zhuang Hualin treated the patient just like any other patient. He checked the patient's tongue coating, measured the patient's blood pressure, and finally gave the diagnosis: "Deficiency of nutrition. Just go home and eat something good. I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Go and pay for the medicine!"
"Hey, hey." Lao Deng took the prescription and still sat there motionless. He was still waiting for Hualin to buy medicine for him. Even if he couldn't leave, he could just give him some money. He would go buy the medicine and then come back to talk to his daughter.
"Get up when you're done. The people behind you are still waiting." Who would have thought that Zhuang Hualin ignored him and started to greet other patients directly, "Next one, come in!"
No, how could you do this? Lao Deng was immediately furious, "I'm your father, I'm sick now, and you treat me like this?"
"Haha, you don't treat me as your daughter. You have always called me a money-losing commodity since I was a child. You ignored me when I wanted to send my son back to Suzhou to study. Now you remember that I am your daughter?" Zhuang Hualin sneered and complained to him about all the grievances he had suffered over the years.
The other doctors in the same room wanted to come over to persuade him, but they sat back down after hearing this. If this was the case, then Zhuang Hualin was indeed not a very qualified father. No wonder Zhuang Hualin rarely mentioned his parents when he was at work.
"You are unfilial! Oh, why am I so miserable? I worked so hard to raise my daughter, but in the end, she doesn't recognize me!" Lao Deng had no way to refute Zhuang Hualin's words and could only use his old skill of throwing a tantrum.
The outpatient department was in chaos, and soon the leader of the unit was alerted. When he came over and saw this scene, he was also a little dumbfounded. After understanding the situation, he subconsciously persuaded Zhuang Hualin, "Hua Lin, he is your father after all. Deal with it quickly, so as not to affect the work of the hospital."
Zhuang Hualin immediately retorted, "Director, this is not my business. Not only do I not want to recognize him, but even my sister-in-law was forced to divorce my brother by him. His grandson Tu Nan, the famous genius boy in Suzhou, also doesn't recognize him as his grandfather."
"If I were the only one who didn't acknowledge him, everyone would say I was unfilial. Now even his grandchildren don't acknowledge him. How can it still be my fault?"
"Tunan? Is that the Tunan who went to college at the age of eleven and discovered the Mersenne prime numbers?" The director knew who she was talking about as soon as he heard it. This year, Suzhou Daily has reported on Huang Tunan more than once. Now Huang Tunan can be said to be the most famous figure in Suzhou city. Even if many people don't know who the top leader is, they have heard of Tunan's name, and the director is no exception.
"Yes, it's him. Little Tuanan is very filial, but he just ignores him. It shows how much of a failure he is as a person." Zhuang Hualin sneered.
Before the director spoke, the patients started talking.
"Oh, this doctor is Tunan's aunt? Then she must be very good at treating patients. I would have made an appointment with her earlier." This person attributed Zhuang Tunan's success to genetics. He thought that since his nephew was so good, his aunt must be good too. He forgot that there was an incompetent Lao Deng standing in front of him.
"Even Tunan hates him, so it must be his fault."
"That's right. Fortunately, Tunan's mother and his father divorced. Otherwise, with such a grandfather, how could Tunan have achieved what he has today?"
Huang Tunan has now become the pride of Suzhou, and everyone subconsciously stands on Zhuang Hualin's side.
The director thought more about it. Zhuang Hualin's work was based on a note written by Mayor Yang. Mayor Yang had been angry about Tuanan's family affairs before, and he might be targeting the old man in front of him.
If this happens and my boss knows that I failed to protect Tuanan's aunt, I might be in trouble.
After figuring this out, the director immediately knew what he should do. He quickly asked the nurse to call the security department to carry Lao Deng out directly, and specifically told them, "Don't let him in again if you see him in the future."
The doctor-patient relationship today is not like that of later generations, where you can just say don’t let him in and that’s it.
Lao Deng wanted to howl at the door yet, but the security guys came out with batons in hand. Lao Deng saw that he couldn't gain any advantage, so he could only cry and howl all the way home.
On the weekend, Zhuang Hualin brought some things and his family to the courtyard to visit Huang Tunan. Lu Qiujian and Qi Jiwen also came to have dinner.
Zhuang Hualin told everyone what happened in the hospital, which caused a burst of laughter.
After laughing, Lv Qiujian and Huang Tunan started talking about mathematics. "What are you studying recently? Are you hanging out in the library every day?"
"I'm going to try to guess."
