Chapter 94 Others warm me, I also want to warm others
After the flowers were written, I glanced at them, feeling delighted, and said, "There's hope for pregnancy."
Huahua, who had been indifferent all this time, leaned over and asked, "Why?"
I pointed to the character "η" (life) and said, "You wrote this character in one breath, with all the strokes connected, which means endless growth."
The two sisters smiled when they heard this, but they were not really happy.
I pointed to the character "η" (life) and said, "This character, when separated, is two characters." I wrote "η" (cow) and "δΈ" (one) on a piece of paper and asked, "Are these two characters?
The two sisters nodded.
I then pointed out, "Your illness can only be cured by a great doctor. I'll find a doctor for you and ask him if he's sure."
After saying that, I turned on the speaker of my phone so that they could hear our conversation.
I explained Huaduo's condition to Dr. Xipo, pointing out that it was a typical case of Sheehan's syndrome. Dr. Xipo praised me for my extensive medical reading and deep understanding. He said that this condition is called "uterine cold" in traditional Chinese medicine.
I said, "Then I'll introduce her to you." Mr. Xipo said, "No problem. The key is that you discovered it early. It wouldn't work if you discovered it late."
The two sisters were thrilled to hear this. They asked for Mr. Xipo's phone number and said they would visit him another day. Then, after expressing their gratitude profusely, they left.
Just as the two sisters left, Xiao Liming called. "Brother Shanhong, I reported this to President Deng verbally. He praised me. Can you guess what he said?"
I was overjoyed, thought for a moment, and said, "You did a good job."
Xiao Liming laughed and said, "He praised me jokingly and made fun of my name."
I shuddered, and Mr. Deng's art of speaking came back to me. I immediately thought of it and said, "That must be what he said: Liming, Liming, your name is well chosen, because you understand everything immediately."
He laughed heartily and asked, "How did you guess so accurately?"
I laughed out loud, too, and then I said, "Your President Deng is a master of language, with a high emotional intelligence that no one I've ever met can match. His art of speaking is that he never compliments people directly, but that sounds more pleasant than direct praise."
Xiao Liming said, "Yes, you've hit the nail on the head. He's not always direct when criticizing people. Once, a new staff member didn't understand the etiquette. At the dinner table, before our vice presidents could toast the city leaders, the staff member raised his glass to toast them.
The result stunned all the veteran employees present. Mr. Deng didn't stop him. After the staff member finished toasting, Mr. Deng introduced Xiao Zhang to the city leaders, saying, "This Xiao Zhang is our new doctoral student, a technical talent with a bright future."
I said, "You very tactfully resolved Xiao Zhang's awkward situation and explained to everyone else that he was new, a technical specialist, and lacked much social experience. Is that right?"
Xiao Liming said: "The story is not over yet. After the banquet, several vice presidents asked, 'Mr. Deng, you have such a sharp eye that you can tell at a glance that Xiao Zhang has a bright future?
Mr. Deng laughed and said, "If an engineering designer were like you guys, understanding all the drinking culture and being able to handle any situation, his drawings would be a mess. Only those who know nothing and are only focused on drawing can be considered a good technician."
I asked, "How is Xiao Zhang now?"
"Now he's our chief engineer. Chief Engineer."
I laughed so hard that tears came out. I said, "He's also a leading cadre who was delayed by the enterprise. It would be great if he could become the Organization Department Minister."
The two of them talked about Mr. Deng's interesting stories for a while. Xiao Liming said, "Don't wait until Sunday. Come and complete the formalities tomorrow."
I said, "Thanks a lot, man."
After hanging up the phone, I hummed a tune and went upstairs. My family was playing cards. My mother had sharp ears, and before I could even begin to listen, she'd already recognized the essence of my singing. As soon as I stepped foot in, she happily complained, "Can't you learn more from your father? You've had some good news, and you've gotten into a tune too. You're not calm anymore."
I chuckled and said, "I can't keep calm. The 180-square-meter duplex was finalized just last minute, and I'm just waiting to pay the down payment tomorrow."
The family stopped playing cards and just sat there in a daze.
My mother glared at me and said, "You are so cruel. You are like a lion with a big mouth."
My brother-in-law had an idea and said, "Mom, Shanhong is very thoughtful. You two old people can live upstairs, and he can live downstairs. This way we can live together and still be relatively independent. That's great."
My sister joked, "Mom, I'm going to buy you some nice clothes, a bit expensive. For Dad, buy him a civilized hat, and for you, buy a mink coat. The two of you will walk down the wooden stairs of the duplex, just like the old man and the lady in the TV drama, so majestic."
Everyone laughed.
My mother didn't laugh. She said to me, "Go to the market tomorrow and buy some real free-range chickens and send them to Master and Mr. Deng."
This sentence made the usually serious father laugh.
Some of us laughed so hard that our stomachs hurt.
After laughing, my eyes became a little moist. Yes, my mother has worked hard all her life and has never seen the world. In her eyes, giving an old hen as a gift represents her most sincere feelings.
At this time, my brother-in-law suggested that the price of 180 square meters, more than 6,000 yuan per square meter, plus some miscellaneous expenses, would be at most 1.2 million yuan. I would only give you 600,000 yuan, so why not just pay the full amount?
After some discussion, everyone agreed. I have 300,000 yuan on hand. My parents contributed 100,000 yuan, and my sister lent me 200,000 yuan. Let's pay the house first.
I'll borrow another 200,000 yuan from the bank and add it to the remaining money I have to start renovations.
I think it's okay. Mr. Deng has given me a favor. He also needs cash flow. Although this amount of cash is insignificant, every penny counts.
That's how it was settled.
At this time, my cell phone rang and I walked aside to answer it.
Hua Qian said, "Teacher Wan, I couldn't sleep after I got home. I'm impatient and I had to get to the bottom of things, so I drove over to see you. Sorry, I'm almost downstairs."
"I'm not impatient, I just want to say that you, as an older sister, are too responsible for your younger sister. Okay, I'll be right over." I hurried downstairs.
After we sat down, Hua Qian asked me a question.
She said, "I looked up information online about Sheehan's disease, and it does match my sister's condition. I just have one question for you, Master: why didn't so many major hospitals diagnose her with Sheehan's disease, and yet you, a non-doctor, were able to tell?"
I nodded and said calmly, "I'll explain this question to you slowly. It's too technical, so please don't interrupt me. Only answer when I ask you."
She nodded.
I took a sip of tea and said, "This symptom could be misdiagnosed by a doctor, because only when one-third of the eyebrows are missing can a direct diagnosis be made. If a major hospital doesn't diagnose your sister as having 'Sheehan's disease,' they can only say that her eyebrows fell out recently and she hasn't sought medical attention recently."
Hua Qian widened her eyes, rubbed them, and then widened them again. She asked, "Teacher Wan, are you a fortune teller or a doctor? I find you're even better than a doctor. She really did lose her eyebrows six months ago, and she refuses to see anyone without them. She always has to have her eyebrows done before she goes out."
I said, "I recommend you go see Dr. Su, because in my opinion, for some illnesses, Chinese medicine is more effective. Dr. Su also cured my sister of her uterine cold."
Hua Qian said emotionally: "After your explanation, all the doubts in my heart have disappeared. If Hua Duo has a child, she will ask you to be her godfather."
I laughed and said, "I have a child before I get married. How can I not find a partner in the future?"
"Anyone who finds you is looking for a golden baby. There are several other girls in our unit..." At this point, she suddenly realized that she had spoken too quickly and changed the subject: "But they are too delicate, you may not like them. Well, I'm sorry to bother you. I'll come to thank you specifically next time."
After she left, I felt a little unhappy because, in her subconscious, I was not worthy of being a female public official.
This unhappiness was only fleeting, because the words Hua Qian hadn't spoken were reality. I felt warmed by the warmth shown by Master, his wife, Mr. Deng, Dr. Su, and others. I should pass on this warmth and warm others.
