Zhou Chen handed the finished painting to Chen Yue.
Chen Yue took it and took a look, and immediately smiled happily, because Zhou Chen painted her so beautifully that her whole body blended into the background mountain scenery.
"It's so beautiful. Although your paintings are not as realistic as photos, they are full of artistic conception, which photos cannot do."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "It's still far behind the photos, but the painting has the artist's own ideas. As you said, it has artistic conception."
Chen Yue happily held Zhou Chen's arm: "Anyway, I prefer you to paint for me than to take pictures."
"If you like the painting you want, I will paint it for you."
"That won't work. It's not good to draw too much. Well, then from now on, every time we go out to play, you can help me draw, okay?"
"no problem."
The two of them played on the top of the mountain for a few hours. When the time was almost up, they started to go down the mountain.
By the time they got back to the car, it was already past seven o'clock.
"So tired, but also very happy, haha."
Chen Yue laughed happily. She had only played for one day, but she felt very fulfilled and happy.
"As long as you have fun, let's go somewhere else to play next time."
"I'd like to, but I'm busy. You can have one day off every week, but I don't have such a fixed rest time. I'm very busy."
The work in the hospital is relatively busy, but the work of a lawyer is not much different. As long as there is a case, I am almost too busy to stop. Many times I will receive calls from the client and the boss even when I am eating or sleeping.
etc.
Even if there is no case, most of the time there is no time to spare, especially for someone like Chen Yue, who is highly motivated and career-minded, and will take the initiative to look for work when there is no job left.
"There is no need to keep yourself so busy. Life is only a few decades, and you still have to enjoy it when you should."
Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Chen Yue couldn't help rolling her eyes.
"You still have the nerve to accuse me, but I know that when you were in the capital, you worked harder than me. It was only after you arrived at Dongli Hospital that you relaxed a little."
Zhou Chen said: "That's purely for study and work. Look at me, now that I have a girlfriend, I'm starting to reduce stress and enjoy life from now on."
Chen Yue said: "I think we should study more and work more when we are young, and have a successful career. Only when we are old can we have more time to enjoy."
Zhou Chen smiled and did not refute, because Chen Yue's idea was completely correct. This is how most people view life.
If you endure hardships when you are young, you will enjoy happiness in your old age.
But to be honest, there are very few people who endure hardships when they are young and can truly enjoy life in their old age. On the contrary, many people who enjoyed life when they were young can still enjoy life when they are old.
For example, established civil servants understand everything.
Zhou Chen's philosophy is to enjoy life. Unless it is a system task requirement or he is very interested in a certain aspect, he will spend more time enjoying life.
He who can travel all the time, but if he no longer enjoys it and is still struggling to endure hardships, what is he doing? Is there something wrong with his brain?
On the way back, Chen Yue only talked to Zhou Chen for a while, then she was so tired that she lay down on the passenger seat and fell asleep.
…………
On a new day, Zhou Chen spent half a day in the clinic in the morning, went to the hospital's laboratory to do research in the afternoon, and had to work the night shift in the evening.
I routinely visited the heart center ward and the intensive care unit on the sixth floor, and then came to the lounge of the intensive care unit.
When he came over, several people in the intensive care unit were eating together.
"Hey, Director Zhou is here to inspect the work?"
Seeing Zhou Chen coming over, the head nurse Yu Lingyun said hello with a smile, while Zhao Yuliang, who was sitting next to her, made a joke.
Zhou Chen sat down next to him, Zhao Yuliang pushed the fruit plate to Zhou Chen, and he forked a piece of dragon fruit politely.
"They're both on night shift, but it's better for you, Director Zhao and the head nurse. You and your wife can work together and have food and drink."
Director Wang on the side agreed very much and said: "Yes, we all work the night shift very hard, but they are good at showing off their affection. We are all working the night shift. The difference is huge."
Unlike doctors and nurses in other departments and wards, doctors and nurses in the intensive care unit are much busier during the night shift, and it is not easy to even squint.
For example, Zhou Chen works the night shift, and he is not arranged to go to the emergency room at all. Unless he encounters a serious illness or special situation, he will go there for a while, or if there is an emergency surgery, he also needs to go on stage, but most of the time he is not busy.
Yes, I can sleep for a while even if I want to sleep.
Fang Xiaoran said with a smile: "That's because Director Zhao and the head nurse have a good relationship. Even if they are scheduled to work night shifts, they insist on being on the same day. Who doesn't know about the heart center?"
Zhao Yuliang and Yu Lingyun, one is the deputy chief physician and the other is the head nurse, are scheduled to work the night shift on the same day, so they still have this privilege.
Zhao Yuliang suddenly asked Xiaoran: "Xiaoran, I heard from Zhang Zhen that you went with Zhou Xiaofeng and Lin Yi to persuade the patient named Qiangwei to have surgery during the day. How was it? Did you successfully convince her?"
"No."
Speaking of this, Fang Xiaoran's expression became a little decadent: "Qiangwei is really pitiful. She had a car accident with her fiancé. Her fiancé is still in the intensive care unit and has not yet woken up. Her life or death is uncertain, so she refuses to have an operation. We
No matter how hard you try to persuade me, it’s no use.”
Zhao Yuliang sighed: "Today's young girls are really willing to risk their lives for love. I really don't know what they think. Love is important, but the body is more important."
Yu Lingyun said: "I have also heard that they are really a pair of hard-luck mandarin ducks. Although situations like theirs are rare, they have happened in hospitals. What's the use of your doctor being anxious? They don't care."
Zhao Yuliang laughed and said: "If you ask me, Director Zhou has to take action to deal with female patients. Director Zhou has experience."
Zhou Chen glared at him angrily.
"It's hard to persuade people who want to die. It's true that doctors treat illnesses and save lives, but the patient doesn't care. She's not responsible for herself. How can you be responsible? We are doctors, not saints."
Fang Xiaoran struggled and said: "But we can't just ignore her. Qiangwei is really pitiful. Isn't life more important than anything else?"
Director Wang said: "I agree with what Director Zhou said. We are doctors, not saints. It is our responsibility to treat diseases and save people, but patients also have the right to choose. However, Xiao Ran has a good heart and must be persuaded. But if someone else
My attitude has been decided and I just won’t listen. It’s better to stop interfering. I’m already busy enough with my job, so there’s no need to meddle in so many other things.”
Yu Lingyun also advised Fang Xiaoran: "Xiaoran, you are still young. There is no need to feel guilty and entangled about this kind of thing. Just let nature take its course. Learn from you, Director Wang, and be gentle and fat."
"Head nurse, why do I feel like these words are meant to insinuate me?"
"Director Wang, you are overthinking. My wife is praising you."
Zhou Chen, who has watched the TV series, naturally knows very well about Qiangwei and her fiancé. They are indeed very pitiful, and there is no problem in sympathizing with them.
But Qiangwei, to be honest, I can't say he likes Zhou Chen, her personality is too extreme.
Perhaps it was because of the experience of being an orphan since she was a child that she was very sensitive and fragile. When something like this happened, she just wanted to die with her fiancé and didn't consider anything else at all.
Her fiancé even died for her, and she never thought about her fiancé's parents. In the end, she got along with Aunt Yang, who was also a patient, and developed a deep relationship in a short period of time. She took care of Aunt Yang without any complaints and showed that
Showing her loving side.
Qiangwei is not his patient, and he has no intention of taking care of it. As Director Wang said, in a place like the hospital, it is better to meddle in other people's business.
.
After all, TV dramas are made for people to watch, so they try their best to show positive energy. In reality, if Qiangwei's situation is like this, there will definitely be doctors who advise her to treat her, but they will never be like in the TV series, one after another.
They took turns persuading her, thinking about her, helping her, and going through all the trouble to repair her wedding dress. What were they thinking?
Doctors are so busy, how can they have time to spend all day around one patient?
It is undeniable that there will be doctors like Lin Yi and Fang Xiaoran, but they are really very few, very few.
Zhou Chen also has his own patients to be responsible for, so he doesn't have time to pay attention to these. As for him to persuade, he won't touch that nail.
Several people quickly ignored the topic.
Zhou Chen suddenly looked at the head nurse Yu Lingyun with a serious expression and let out a light sigh.
"What's wrong, Director Zhou, why are you staring at my wife?" Zhao Yuliang asked.
Zhou Chen smiled, "Director Zhao, happy events are coming soon."
"What happy event is coming soon?"
Fang Xiaoran looked confused when she heard Zhou Chen's confusing words.
Zhao Yuliang and Yu Lingyun, on the other hand, looked at Zhou Chen in shock.
"No, Director Zhou, how did you tell?"
Yu Lingyun put his hand on his stomach unconsciously and asked Zhou Chen in surprise.
Zhou Chen said: "To tell you the truth, although I am studying cardiac surgery, I am also somewhat involved in traditional Chinese medicine. Inspection, smelling, asking, and feeling are the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine. I also know a little bit about it. The head nurse's complexion is different from before.
Coupled with the concern and joy on Director Zhao's eyebrows, tsk, it's not hard to guess."
Zhao Yuliang was even more surprised: "You can see my concern and joy in everything you read and ask? Are you doing a medical consultation or a fortune teller? But you really have a sharp eye. You noticed it before we told anyone in the hospital."
Wow, it’s awesome.”
"Basic operation, congratulations."
Zhou Chen opened his mouth to bless him. Although he knew that the child of Zhao Yuliang and Yu Lingyun had some difficulties before he was born, for them, who had been married for more than ten years and had no children, the meaning of this child was extraordinary.
Zhao Yuliang and Yu Lingyun could not help but smile happily.
"Thanks."
This confused Wang Xu and Fang Xiaoran even more. Wang Xu reacted faster and suddenly slapped his head.
"Director Zhao, head nurse, you must be pregnant, right? It would be a really happy event."
No matter how slow Fang Xiaoran was, she understood what was going on. She looked at Yu Lingyun with the same joy and sent her blessings.
Zhao Yuliang's face was full of smiles, but he still booed: "Low-key, low-key, we didn't say anything to anyone. We planned to wait until it was stable in three months before announcing it. I didn't expect Director Zhou's eyes to be so poisonous. It's a genius operation from the cardiac surgery department."
The doctor is actually proficient in Chinese medicine, who would believe him?"
Time flies by very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it has been several months since Zhou Chen came to Dongli Hospital. The new year has come again.
2023 is also the tenth year since Zhou Chen came to this world.
Although he had a girlfriend last year, he still spent the New Year alone, or in the hospital, because Chen Yue had to go home during the New Year, and the scheduler had already asked his opinion, so he chose to spend New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year there.
Hospital duty.
On New Year's Eve, Zhou Chen received a lot of messages of blessing. Even the mother of Song Xingyan, a patient he had operated on before, went to the hospital and gave him and Zhou Xiaofeng two paintings as gifts.
Zhang Yuxi also sent a blessing message before. Even Fan Xin, a child in the capital, actually called him to thank him and wish him well.
On New Year's Eve, there were naturally many fewer patients than usual, and even the emergency department was no longer so busy.
Zhou Chen had a video call with Chen Yue in the office. Seeing that it was getting dark, he ordered a takeaway.
There were already sparse sounds of firecrackers outside. Although there are regulations that cannot set off firecrackers in the city, in fact, it is difficult to really stop this kind of thing.
Zhou Chen went downstairs to get takeout, and instead of going back to the office upstairs, he went to the emergency medicine department of the Chest Pain Center.
In the doctor's office of the emergency medicine department, Zhou Xiaofeng scrolled through his mobile phone with a lonely look on his face, looking at the family reunion posts posted by other people in his circle of friends, with envy in his eyes.
"Dong dong."
"Please come in."
Reflexively, he put down his cell phone and prepared to receive a doctor, but when he looked up, what he saw was Zhou Chen.
"Director Zhou, why are you here? Are you on duty at the cardiac surgery department today?"
Zhou Chen walked into the office and put the takeaway in his hand on the table.
"I'm just like you, alone, so I took the initiative to stay on duty. I ordered takeout, thinking that eating alone would be quite lonely. I knew you were here, so I came over to see if you were busy. If not, we
Let's meet up and have a New Year's Eve dinner together."
"Ah, that's so embarrassing."
Zhou Xiaofeng looked at the takeout Zhou Chen put on the table: "Did you buy so much?"
"On New Year's Eve, of course we have to eat something good. Should we eat here or eat nearby?"
"Then go to the office next door."
Zhou Xiaofeng was quite happy. It was very lonely working here alone and he didn't even have dinner. Zhou Chen took the initiative to come over and invite him to have dinner with him. This was the first time in the past few years that he had been on duty on New Year's Eve and had someone to share his company with.
"Let's go, I have to be on duty today, otherwise I would have to have two drinks with you, Director Xiaofeng."
Zhou Xiaofeng said: "It's definitely not possible today, but next time I'm free, I'll treat you to a drink."
