In the afternoon, Yang Ping rested for a few hours and stayed in the hotel to chat with his family.
My parents made a lot of local New Year products, many of which Yang Ping liked to eat when he was a child.
They took videos and photos and sent them to Yang Ping to see, and prepared to express several large packages to Yang Ping.
My sister and brother-in-law took their nephew to celebrate the New Year with my parents at home. Yang Ping felt more at ease with them as company when he was outside.
You can also hear the crackling sound of firecrackers on the phone.
Yang Ping and Xiao Su had a video chat, and then using Xiao Su's mobile phone, Yang Ping called Xiao Su's grandparents, Professor Su, Mrs. Su, and Su Nanchen to explain the situation here.
Xiao Su's family was very understanding. Professor Su told Yang Ping not to worry about his family, and told him to "concentrate on the surgery, pay special attention to postoperative management, and never be careless."
"A skilled person is bold, but he must not be careless."
"Strategically despise the enemy, and tactically pay attention to the enemy."
Although Yang Ping and Xiao Su are not married yet, it will be a matter of time. In the past, when the two engaged in underground activities, Professor Su could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Now Xiao Su has brought Yang Ping to her home to meet her parents and officially confirm their relationship.
Professor Su can openly care about Yang Ping as he would his son.
Xiao Su told Yang Ping that he was going to have dinner with people in the department at noon and would come back to have dinner with his parents in the evening.
Yang Ping also called Director Han. The old man was also preparing a reunion dinner at home, and the tunes of Peking Opera could be heard on his mobile phone.
Before Yang Ping started calling Song Zimo and other brothers, they called first.
They plan to have a dinner together at noon and have a reunion dinner together, and then go back to their respective homes in the evening.
Everyone gathered together to say hello to Yang Ping one by one. It was very lively.
"How was the surgery?"
"This---this---this---also ask a question, when---when---when---"
"Dang---Dang---Dang, can you speak more eloquently instead of giving speeches to the wall every day? Why is it not working? My son and daughter are in the prenatal period. Go over there and say it, don't let them hear you.
If you learn bad things, you will be in trouble."
"Lao Xu is so excited. Lao Xu will soon have a girlfriend. I introduced him. They met once and the girl was very satisfied with him."
"Don't squeeze me, let me, Liang Shuai, say a few words. Brother, please pay attention to what special cigarettes Saudi Arabia has."
"Okay, let the professor rest. When you come back, we will get together again."
For these guys, Yang Ping hung up the video call and sent a big red envelope in the group. Xu Stutter actually got in front of Fatty Liang and wanted to get out of singles. This was a bit surprising.
Many head nurses introduced Fatty Liang to girlfriends, but he didn't like any of them, and then it was rumored that he was chasing a flight attendant.
Xu stuttered and had an unkempt appearance, and he stuttered when he spoke. He had no signs of being single at all, and the girl Xiao Wu introduced to him quite liked him.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Robert and Li Ze will come to pick Yang Ping up for dinner.
This time it was Robert who was in charge, and Li Ze would be far inferior to this guy's ability to get things done.
Robert chose the best Chinese restaurant in Jeddah, Jixinyuan, and booked the largest and most luxurious private room.
Originally, it was impossible to book a private room on New Year's Eve. The private room had been booked a month in advance.
In Jeddah, Chinese-funded enterprises all have New Year’s Eve dinner.
However, Robert's communication skills were not very strong, so he forced Ji Xinyuan to vacate the largest and most luxurious private room.
Who is he? He is Robert, the Saudi Crown Prince’s friend and personal doctor.
With him in Saudi Arabia, how could it be possible for Yang Ping to celebrate New Year's Eve in a low-key and simple way? It is not in line with Robert's style.
This private room was reserved by the mayor of Jeddah, and it is said that a good friend of the crown prince came to dine.
When you open a restaurant on someone else’s land, you must give them face.
And this is also the best publicity for the restaurant. Back then, Cameron had hot pot at Xiangtianxia in Chengdu, and Xiangtianxia’s business was rising steadily.
I don’t know who this big shot is now. He is a friend of the crown prince. The mayor personally booked a private room, so he is also a celebrity.
The other party said that he wanted this guest to have a Chinese New Year's Eve.
The car drove slowly, and the big shot finally arrived.
The boss and his wife personally greeted them at the door. The chubby boss was wearing a red Tang suit, and the wife was wearing a red cheongsam, which was very festive.
The car stopped and the door opened. The first person to get out was Robert, who was also wearing a bright red Tang suit.
He opened the car door and Yang Ping got out of the car.
Under the guidance of the boss and his wife, we went to the private room upstairs. When passing by the hall, the hall was full of Chinese faces and it was very lively.
When Yang Ping asked, it turned out that it was a Chinese-funded company in Saudi Arabia having a group dinner.
Listening to the familiar voice and seeing the familiar layout, Yang Ping felt very happy.
The decoration of the restaurant is very Chinese-style, and Chinese elements can be seen everywhere, such as Chinese characters, lanterns, oil-paper umbrellas, porcelain, and mahogany-colored tables and chairs, making people feel like they have returned to China.
"Please!"
Two beautiful waiters at the door spoke pure Chinese: Welcome!
A lantern hangs at the door, and a round table inside is covered with a Chinese red tablecloth.
"Today we will eat hot pot and dumplings and watch the Spring Festival Gala."
The boss lady introduced and everything was arranged.
Everyone sat down around the table, and Yang Ping was supported to sit at the head of the table, facing the door.
The table is surrounded by chopsticks, each person has two pairs, one of which is a serving chopstick.
Because Saudi Arabia prohibits alcohol, everyone cannot drink alcohol. They use Chinese apple cider vinegar to make drinks. Yang Ping actually doesn’t like drinking.
There is no surgery tonight, and it is Chinese New Year's Eve. Yang Ping came to Saudi Arabia from China for surgery. The surgery was successful. Everyone is going to drink apple cider vinegar.
The bottom of the mandarin duck pot was brought up, and various ingredients were also laid out.
There are people at the table, Yang Ping, Robert, Li Zehui, Marshall, Korean doctors, and a few Saudi doctors. The mayor will make a guest appearance later.
Dodge, on behalf of Audio-Technica, has called three times and wanted to join the reunion dinner, but was rejected by Robert and Li Zehui. Pride and prejudice must be punished, which is very Western-style thinking.
Robert was dressed in a Tang suit, and at some point he had a folding fan in his hand, sitting next to Yang Ping.
At the reunion dinner outside, some representatives began to deliver speeches - "One year old will be celebrated with the sound of firecrackers---".
The boss hung a big TV in the lobby, and everyone wanted to watch the Spring Festival Gala, which didn't start until one o'clock in the morning.
"Boss, can we still watch the Spring Festival Gala here?"
Yang Ping couldn't contain his joy.
Robert had already made arrangements: "We can also watch the Spring Festival Gala on this TV, and we will watch it with you."
Robert now has a strong interest in Chinese culture. When it comes to food, in the United States, there are always chicken drumsticks and burgers every day. In China, the dishes change every day. There is no repetition every year. Each of the major cuisines has its own characteristics.
The hot pot is steaming, and the waiter puts the ingredients in.
Getting ready to start dinner, Robert shook his head:
"The sound of firecrackers eliminates the year old, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu.
Every day in every household, new peaches are exchanged for old charms! Let’s drink to Dr. Yang!”
Robert recited a poem and shocked everyone.
Among those sitting here, apart from Yang Ping, Robert is the one who understands Chinese culture best. There is no other way, who can tell someone to recite poetry?
The boss arranged for two capable waiters to serve this table.
While everyone was eating hot pot, Yang Ping's cell phone rang. When he saw it, it was Director Han's.
"Dr. Yang---"
"Director Han, what's going on?"
"Tomorrow's flight ticket?"
"Yes!"
"I can't leave for the time being. Due to the urgent mission in the province, an employee of a Chinese security company from Nandu was injured in Yemen. I am requesting domestic medical support. His condition is very serious. If I want to be the fastest, I can only rely on you."
"What's going on?"
"Explosion injury!"
"How do I get there?"
"The situation is critical! The situation there is also unstable. How about we ask them to try to fly the patients over?"
"Okay!"
"Then IMC Hospital prepares you to accept it! Someone from the security company will contact you soon. Be careful not to turn off your mobile phone."
Yang Ping hung up the phone and saw Yang Ping's expression changed.
Robert asked: "Why, did you eat Sichuan peppercorns?"
He knew that Yang Ping didn't like eating Sichuan peppercorns, so he specifically asked not to put this stuff in.
"An employee of a Chinese security company in Yemen was injured in an explosion and needs my medical support."
Yang Ping placed his mobile phone on the table, adjusted all the ringtones and vibrations, and waited for the call.
"Let's go together?"
Li Ze would understand something: "I'm very familiar with Yemen. Let's go together. We've been to the Red Cross Hospital there many times."
"I'm waiting for the call. I don't know the situation yet. The other party is going to send the patient over. If he does, IMC Hospital will be ready to accept it immediately. Eat hot pot quickly and wait until you're full."
Yang Ping knew that there was no point in being anxious at this time. Now he just waited for the call and took the time to eat. After eating and drinking enough, he would have the energy to work.
I'm used to being a doctor. To be honest, it's better now. He basically didn't take a break before New Year's Eve.
