Liu Ying on the side pulled Cheng Tianyuan to the corner.
"Ayuan, I couldn't understand what payment form the nurse brought over earlier. Then the in-laws took out a large stack of money from the bag beside him and followed the nurse."
Cheng Tianyuan understood and explained: "Father-in-law insists on paying all expenses for dad."
"How can this be done?!" Liu Ying swallowed her saliva and said in surprise: "That's a lot of money! It looks like it costs thousands! I...I have never seen so much money! Nurse
What else did the lady say, if there is more, then withdraw it; if there is not enough, then make up for it."
Cheng Tianyuan whispered: "My father-in-law was very insistent and told me and Lingling not to interfere."
"No..." Liu Ying is not a person who likes petty gains, and said: "If your father knew, he would definitely not want it."
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and said: "Ling Ling said that her father-in-law just wanted her father's arm to get better so that he would feel less guilty. She also said that she is the only daughter in the family, and the money in the family will be hers in the future, so let
I don’t want to care too much.”
Liu Ying was still very uneasy and whispered: "They can let you marry Ling Ling. Your father and I will be satisfied long ago."
Cheng Tianyuan patted her shoulder and said comfortingly: "Mom, just don't worry about it for now. I will be filial to my father-in-law and mother-in-law with Ling Ling in the future. In addition, except for my father's surgery this time, I will not take advantage of him.
"
Liu Ying whispered: "You always have an idea, it's up to you to do it!"
…
At noon that day, Cheng Tianyuan went out and came in with a hot meal.
After Xue's father and mother had eaten, they were picked up by Director Xue who was not on duty in the afternoon.
Xue Ling took advantage of her parents' absence to secretly ask Cheng Tianyuan if she had any photos of her sister-in-law.
"My dad knows a lot of people, so I can ask her to bring him with me and help me find him. This is much better than searching blindly!"
Cheng Tianyuan quickly agreed and explained: "I came here temporarily and didn't bring any photos at all. But there are some at home. She took one during the Chinese New Year and posted it on her bedside."
"Then when we get back, we'll take it and send it to my dad," Xue Ling said.
Cheng Tianyuan nodded.
Cheng's father was a little weak after the operation. He didn't wake up for long. The heating in the room was sufficient, so he slept well.
Liu Ying took a nap, while Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling each shared a square table, with one translating and the other copying the final draft.
That evening, Xue's parents ate out and didn't come back until evening.
"Zhilan took us to the hot springs, and my younger siblings also went with us. We ate together before coming back. We heard that this is a special snack here, so we bought some. Ayuan, take it out and share it with us."
Xue Ling happily ate the soft and glutinous cookies and asked, "Did Uncle Zhilan tell me when we can eat after the operation? The nurse just collected the IV bottle, so there is no need for IV drip tonight."
Father Xue replied: "During the ward rounds in the morning, I told you that you can eat something light tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow you can eat something nutritious and make some bone soup."
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and couldn't help but said: "Everything outside is spicy, I wonder if I can cook it myself?"
"But there's no fire here!" Xue Ling reminded.
Father Xue said: "It doesn't matter, I will ask Zhilan to take a look tomorrow."
The next day, Director Xue came to check the ward early in the morning. After hearing what they said, he immediately took out a bunch of keys and gave them to Xue Ling.
"The green building behind the experimental building is the hospital's staff dormitory. Room 301 on the second floor is a small suite. It was the dormitory given to me by the hospital a few years ago. Last year, your aunt went to the countryside for a month, and I was too lazy to go home alone.
Go, just live in the dormitory. There are ready-made kitchen utensils in there. They are all packed and put behind you. You can make whatever you want to eat. I don't live here anymore, and it would be a waste to put them away."
Xue Ling took it and thanked him quickly: "Uncle, thank you! Then I'm not polite. Don't worry, we will clean the dormitory for you."
"It doesn't matter. I don't live there anyway, so I don't mind how dirty it is." Director Xue joked.
Xue Ling chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Yuan and I will clean up for you as a thank you gift!"
Director Xue laughed and said: "Yesterday, Ah Heng called me back. I talked to him about your father and you. The boy still remembered it and kept asking for news about you. He is only a few months younger than you.
, but he was born the year before, so he is one year younger than you. He said he liked playing with you the most when he was a child."
"I have no memory at all." Xue Ling explained: "I was still a little carrot head at that time, so I can't remember many things. But I will definitely recognize him easily when we meet in the future. We are family members and playmates when we were children, so
Love is different!"
"It makes sense." Director Xue said warmly: "It's like your father and I recognized each other at first sight after more than ten years! He will graduate soon, and he will fly to celebrate the Chinese New Year with us.
Go to the imperial capital and go back to your hometown to learn business from your father."
Xue Ling nodded.
Then she and Cheng Tianyuan went to Director Xue's dormitory.
The director's supporting dormitory is indeed unusual. It is similar to a small apartment. It is not very large in area, but it is designed with two bedrooms and two living rooms. It has a balcony, a toilet, and a small kitchen. Although it is small, it has all the necessary equipment.
But it hasn't been inhabited for a long time, Lao Xue doesn't come here much, and there is dust everywhere.
Cheng Tianyuan took off his coat and went to the kitchen to boil hot water.
"Daughter-in-law, just let me clean it. You go out and buy some rice and chicken. By the way, buy some salt and soy sauce. It doesn't need to be too much. Ask the nearby store, they will definitely know where the market is."
"Okay." Xue Ling turned around and left.
It's no longer snowing outside, but it's still very cold.
The First Hospital is built in the city center, and there are many residents nearby, so finding a market is not difficult at all.
After Xue Ling walked a street, she quickly bought something and headed back.
After she returned, she found that Cheng Tianyuan had already cleaned the kitchen and living room.
"so fast?"
Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "I'll wash the rice and put it in the pot, and you can wipe the sofa. There's hot water over there, don't pour cold water."
Xue Ling knew that he was always considerate, so he took a rag and rubbed it quickly.
After the chicken porridge was cooked, the two of them had wiped the small suite clean and made everything look brand new.
Cheng Tianyuan found a small pot and put it on it, and said: "Give me the key, I can come over and cook it myself tomorrow. There is no heating here, it's too cold to stay here."
Xue Ling readily agreed and put the key into his pocket.
…
With Xue's father and mother helping to take care of them, Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling were not busy.
Especially Xue Ling, he had a lot more time. During the day, he stayed in the warm ward to do translation, and at night, he sat in front of the heater to do translation. The numbers kept rising, more than three times faster than before.
Cheng Tianyuan was responsible for cooking porridge for Cheng's father for three meals, while Liu Ying was responsible for taking care of him closely. Neither of them was busy.
Five days after the operation, Cheng's father was able to get out of bed and the stitches were removed from the wound.
Director Xue smiled and explained that the condition of the wound was very good. Once the prosthetic limb is installed and some prosthetic limb training is performed, he will be discharged from the hospital in about a week.
