There wasn't enough room in the closet, so I asked Xiao Fang to bring it home while it was still dark.
During these few days when she had nothing to do, Liu Linjuan would tell Li Zilong funny stories about the children while he was awake. A week passed quickly like this. That day, after Director He finished his rounds, he said to Liu Linjuan:
"He can be transferred to a regular ward soon. Starting today, he can drink more chicken soup to nourish himself."
Liu Linjuan is also a doctor, and is considered her husband's attending physician. She understands her husband's condition and said...
"Don't worry, Director. I sent Xiao Fang back last night and asked Sister Wu to stew a chicken early this morning."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Wang, who was standing to the side, said, "I'll prescribe a dietary therapy for you later. Start taking it for a month, beginning tomorrow. After a month, we'll adjust the prescription. That way, when you treat his body again after three months, it will be much more effective."
“Okay, Dr. Wang,” Commander Liu Linjuan said quickly, knowing how skilled Dr. Wang was.
After being transferred to a regular ward, Liu Linjuan helped her husband wash up. Seeing that everything was alright, she said, "I'll go back home for a bit. Sister Wu made chicken soup for you this morning. I'll go get it for you and bring our daughter over too, so you can see how she is."
"Really?" Ever since Li Zilong learned that he had a daughter, he had been eagerly anticipating seeing his obedient daughter, so he quickly replied.
"I knew you wanted to see your daughter. Go back now; it won't take more than half an hour."
"Fine, go ahead, I don't need you to wait on me."
"I'll head back now. Just let Xiao Fang know if you need anything. We don't need many people right now, so I'll have Xiao He rejoin the team."
"Okay, go ahead."
Seeing her husband's anxious expression, Liu Linjuan smiled and went out without saying a word. Upon exiting, she saw Xiao Fang sitting on a bench by the door and said to him:
"Xiao Fang, I'm going home for a bit to get some clean clothes for your Commander Li. Could you please take care of them for me?"
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll take good care of Commander Li," Xiao Fang quickly said.
"Okay, I'll be going now."
Liu Linjuan did not leave the hospital directly, but instead went to the department, met Zhou Tao, spoke to him, and said the same thing to Xiao Fang before leaving.
Several nurses, having vaguely spotted Dr. Liu, asked, "Sister Zhou, was that Dr. Liu just now?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Zhou Tao asked, noticing the girls around him.
"It's nothing, I just think Dr. Liu is amazing!"
"Yes, I think she's even more capable than our director. I remember last time, in the same amount of time, the director performed six surgeries, while Dr. Liu performed eight."
"Who says otherwise? This time it's even more impressive. Even the higher-ups have to wait for Dr. Liu. Whether the surgery can be performed depends on Dr. Liu's decision. I never expected Dr. Liu to be so young and have such amazing medical skills."
Seeing the nurses looking at him like infatuated lovers, Zhou Tao quickly said:
"Alright, it's not as amazing as you all make it out to be. Dr. Liu and our director have different areas of expertise, so how can you compare them? Besides, Dr. Liu's current level of expertise is the result of hard work and real practice, not from taking shortcuts."
So, you guys really need to solidify your basic skills. Don't look at anything else; look at Dr. Zhang and Dr. Dong. They came in the same batch of doctors, so why did Dr. Liu choose them and want to keep them by his side? It's because they were patient and dedicated to practicing the basics!
The nurses exchanged glances, then suddenly realized, and said, "Oh, I see. We thought Dr. Zhang and Dr. Dong had given Dr. Liu a gift!"
"How could that be? Dr. Liu isn't one to accept gifts. Besides, even those who like to give gifts didn't accept them," Zhou Tao said, seeing Zhao Meilan eavesdropping.
"What? The person who gave the gift didn't accept it?" several nurses asked, puzzled.
"Alright, that's enough. Get back to work. Those who have tasks, get to them. Those who haven't and were practicing bandaging, go practice bandaging. Those who need to practice suturing, go practice suturing. If any of you fail the next assessment, see how I deal with you," Zhou Tao said, deliberately feigning anger.
"Sister Zhou..." several nurses called out to Zhou Tao in a coquettish tone.
"Alright, what are you waiting for?"
"I'll go right away, I'll go right away!"
Zhou Tao watched them leave, then turned and left as well.
Seeing that Zhou Tao and several nurses had left, Zhao Meilan hurried out. She didn't care about what Zhou Tao had said about her giving Liu Linjuan a gift. Now, her main concern was to go and see that tall, imposing man, the one she had been thinking about. Ever since she saw him in Zaibi, her heart had been burning with desire, and she couldn't stop thinking about him.
When she heard Zhou Tao say that Liu Linjuan had gone home, she could no longer suppress the urge to go and call him.
Liu Linjuan hurried home at a leisurely pace, but in her heart she was thinking, "Zhao Meilan has given you a chance, so you must make good use of it, otherwise you'll waste all her hard work. The hospital is only about a ten-minute walk from home."
I didn't know my father was back until the third day, when Uncle Fang came home and brought some things. He said that...
"Sister Wu, Dr. Liu is still in the hospital taking care of Chief Li, who is also his wife. These things were given to Chief Li by several leaders to help him recover, but there are just too many things. Could you put this bag of things away for Dr. Liu? As for this bag of fruit, Dr. Liu said you should share it quickly."
Sister Wu was very surprised when she heard this. She only felt relieved after taking the things from Xiao Fang's hands. It turned out that Comrade Liu Linjuan's husband had returned from the front lines. Xiao Fang seemed to be saying that Commander Li was injured, so she quickly asked:
"Comrade Xiao Fang, is Commander Li seriously injured? Should I wait a moment, and I'll go kill a chicken and make some soup for you to take over? Wait, it's so late, there won't be enough time to make chicken soup. I'll go make some porridge instead. Yes, some porridge."
Xiao Fang hadn't expected Sister Fang to react so strongly, and quickly stopped her, saying, "Sister Wu, no need. Please listen to me first. Commander Li has just woken up after surgery and can't eat anything. He can only be fed with saline solution. The doctor said that if he wants to drink chicken soup or anything like that, he'll have to wait a few days. I'll come and tell you in advance when he can drink it. What do you think?"
"Yes, yes, Comrade Xiao Fang, wait for me a moment. Dr. Liu definitely won't be able to come home for the next few days. She left in a hurry the other day and didn't bring any change of clothes. I'll go pack some clothes for her, and you can take them with you."
"Okay, I'll wait a moment, no need to rush."
"Then please sit down."
Aunt Wu hurried inside and grabbed a change of clothes for her mother, not noticing that she herself was sitting there blankly.
