Qin’s mother laughed: "Come on, I know you better than that! Mom’s not lying to you, I’m really fine! I just feel a bit empty inside since your grandma passed away, didn’t really adjust mentally, but physically I’m fine. You don’t need to stay here worriedly!" Xiao Li reached out to hold Qin’s mother’s hand, "Mom, I understand, I’m not worried about your health, just want to be with you!" The pain of losing a loved one, Xiao Li has tasted, she knows how hard Qin’s mother feels right now, it’s precisely because she knows, that she wants to accompany her. He Jie brought a bowl of soup over, "Mom, let us fulfill our duty as daughters-in-law! We’ve been lazy enough these years, what’s wrong with taking care of you for a couple of days?" He Jie wasn’t lying, Qin’s mother’s health is good, over the years they haven’t lived together, neither He Jie nor Xiao Li really fulfilled any filial duty. The kind of daughter-in-laws busy serving their mother-in-law didn’t happen to them! Qin’s mother is very sensible, she understands the principle that distance brings attraction, she didn’t live with the kids, giving them space while reducing family conflicts. But the separation isn’t far, all living in the same community, they see each other daily, the affection between relatives doesn’t fade just because they haven’t seen each other for a while! Qin’s mother couldn’t argue with the two of them, she just had to let them be. After two days in the hospital, Qin’s mother couldn’t stay put and insisted on being discharged and going home, once home, Xiao Li and He Jie were sent back to work and school by her! Time flies by quickly, in the blink of an eye, two years passed! Xiao Li’s graduate student life has already entered the final year, this last year she will be busier than before. Although she doesn’t have to attend theoretical classes now, she has to follow Professor Chen running between the hospital and the lab, and also prepare the thesis! Theses are always such headaches! In the hospital, Xiao Li follows Professor Chen in the respiratory department seeing patients. Now it’s the change of season, there are super many patients in the clinic, we haven’t had a break all morning! "Oh my, why are there so many patients this morning?" Shao Yu whispered into Xiao Li’s ear. Ever since she knew Xiao Li is He Jie’s wife, not competing with her for Chen Wei, Shao Yu didn’t resist Xiao Li as much. After two years of classmates, the two may not be close enough to share secrets, but at least respect each other. Xiao Li watched as Professor Chen examined someone, whispering to explain: "The temperature has suddenly dropped in the last few days, many people caught a cold. Moreover, the air has been bad the past two days, there’s smog, in a situation , it’s easy to get respiratory diseases. Those with chronic respiratory diseases also tend to worsen at this time, it’s normal for there to be a lot of patients." They were talking when there was a commotion at the clinic door, a nurse ran in, "Professor Chen, there’s a patient having an asthma attack in the waiting hall!" Professor Chen immediately stood up upon hearing, "Quick, get the oxygen bag." Then rushed out, Xiao Li and others followed closely behind. When they reached the waiting hall, they saw the nurse driving people away, making sure people around the patient were giving some space. Professor Chen went over, first helping the patient sit up, then soothing him by patting his back, trying to calm his emotions. The nurse who went to call Professor Chen brought the oxygen bag, Xiao Li quickly helped the patient use the oxygen. After inhaling oxygen, the patient’s condition slowly improved, a stretcher was quickly brought over by a nurse, and the patient was moved onto it, Professor Chen instructed Xiao Li to take the patient to the inpatient department. Xiao Li asked the patient’s family to help push the stretcher towards the inpatient department, just reached the first floor and waiting for the stairs, she saw Yue Wenwen coming down. "Sister, I just got the call to come down to get the patient." Yue Wenwen happened to be interning in the respiratory department, just happened to be on duty in the inpatient department today! Xiao Li handed the patient’s case to her, "You’re here, I won’t go up, the clinic over there is busy like crazy." Yue Wenwen nodded, "Sister, go ahead, I’ll take the patient upstairs." The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥 Xiao Li turned and left, being a doctor doesn’t leave time for pleasantries like goodbye, see you later. Back at the clinic, there were still a lot of waiting numbers, Professor Chen seeing patients doesn’t watch the clock, as long as there’s a number taken, he insists on seeing all the patients. Dragging half an hour past noon is very common. Looking at the time, Xiao Li felt today would again be an overtime noon! As for how long the delay would be, it depends on the patients’ conditions behind; is it easy to see? Any emergencies? Fortunately, in the upcoming hours, everything went smoothly without any emergencies, the patients were quick to see, mild colds went to get blood drawn for testing, wait for the reporting number then get medication, really severe cases, Professor Chen directly arranged for inpatient. Anything needing tests, directly check after admission! At twelve-thirty, Professor Chen’s patients were all seen, unsurprisingly another half hour was delayed. Professor Chen took off his white coat, said to Shao Yu and Xiao Li: "You’re following the teacher in the clinic, forced to work overtime today!" Xiao Li smiled, "No problem! Anyway, there’s no money for overtime!" Professor Chen is good-tempered, after two years with him, Xiao Li now often jokes with him! Shao Yu laughed, "That’s right! Teacher, shouldn’t you pay us a salary?" Professor Chen laughed, "Teacher can’t pay a salary, but treating you to a meal as a reward is doable!" Xiao Li and Shao Yu’s eyes lit up upon hearing, they were just joking, didn’t expect an unexpected benefit! For the treat, Professor Chen didn’t go to the cafeteria, directly took the two students to the restaurant opposite. "Come on! Order what you like, eat hearty to have energy to work in the afternoon!" Professor Chen asked with a smile. Xiao Li smiled, taking the menu, "Teacher, if you didn’t add that last sentence, we would eat this meal happier." Shao Yu echoed, "That’s right! Teacher, you really know how to ruin the mood." In the afternoon, Professor Chen wasn’t in the clinic, however had to go back to the inpatient department. Although the inpatient department doesn’t have lots of patients needing attention all morning like the clinic does. Every doctor only takes care of a few beds of patients, but if inpatient patients have emergencies, it can be exhausting. Like last time, there was a respiratory failure, to save his life, several hours of emergency care were needed, it’s exhausting. This is why Professor Chen told Xiao Li and others to eat well. Eating well gives strength to deal with emergencies. Because of this, Xiao Li and Shao Yu both didn’t want to hear Professor Chen say that sentence. Xiao Li ordered a plate of fried rice cake and handed the menu to Shao Yu. Time is short, better to order something simple! Shao Yu saw Xiao Li ordered rice cake, also wanted rice cake, in the end the three all had rice cake. Great, ordered the same thing, the chef can make it all in one go, fried rice cake was served in no time.
