The Chinese New Year holiday soon ended, and the department returned to its usual liveliness. Little Zhang brought a lot of local specialties from his hometown to give to me. I took them all home to show my respect to my mother. My mother was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. She said that she wanted to invite Little Zhang over for dinner, so I found a weekend and invited Little Zhang over to my house. During the meal, my mother suddenly asked Xiao Zhang to take care of me and help me find a boyfriend. Only then did I know that my mother had long known about my divorce with Gu Cheng. What's done is done. She didn't want to scold me anymore and make me feel uncomfortable, so she held it in and didn't say anything. Seeing my mom calmly accept the fact that I was divorced, I felt much more at ease. I also said that I would soon find a good son-in-law to show filial piety to her. Mom nodded happily. After dinner, I went back to the hospital with Xiao Zhang.
After the Spring Festival, the weather slowly warmed up. People who had been holed up for the entire winter began to do outdoor activities. There were more people on the streets and more cars, which led to a significant increase in traffic accidents. Our department is full of patients again. Little Zhang and I have been working overtime for the past few days. For convenience's sake, I've been squeezing in with Little Zhang in the dormitory for the past few days. The colleagues in the department were very busy, but their energy was limited. Overload work was the root cause of medical accidents. The director and the chief nurse took precautions and promptly requested the hospital leaders to add staff to the department. In less than three days, the hospital leaders assigned a young doctor and a young nurse to our department. The doctor's name was Xiao Yang. He was in his early thirties and was not tall. He wore a pair of glasses and was obviously a knowledgeable person. He heard that he was a PhD student who graduated from a famous university. He had been working in the hospital since last year and had been staying in the respiratory department. Surgery was his dream. Now that he had this opportunity, he naturally could not miss it. The nurse was young and pretty, and her big eyes were very similar to mine. Last year, she performed well during her internship in the hospital, so the nursing department made an exception and kept her. After the new year, she was assigned to our department. Because she had just entered the department and did not have a medical license or clinical work experience, the head nurse specially asked me to be her teacher in order to prevent her from making mistakes in her work.
The young nurse introduced herself to her colleagues generously."My name is Tian Qian. I like to sing and dance. I hope everyone will take care of me in the future!”
I had a good impression of Tian Qian. I brought her around the department, hoping to help her adapt to this new environment as soon as possible. Tian Qian seemed to like me very much. After a few days, she was very familiar with me. When I was busy, she would help me get food. When I was on night duty, she would come over to accompany me and help me with some simple work. With Tian Qian accompanying me, I felt very happy every day. Tian Qian is a lively and cheerful girl. She likes to sing and dance, and she likes to put on makeup. After work, she always likes to drag me to go shopping with her, or go to the KTV to sing and dance. Under her influence, I learned how to put on makeup. In order to fulfill my mother's wish and find a suitable husband as soon as possible, I dressed myself up beautifully every day and never thought about those troublesome things again. As for the new doctor, Xiao Yang, although he was a PhD student, he was usually humble and never looked down on the doctors and nurses because of his high academic qualifications. He was meticulous in his work and was loved by his colleagues and patients after only a few days in the department. Other than work matters, Xiao Yang and I didn't chat much, but we were seen by our sharp-eyed colleagues in the department. They even wanted to set us up. I scolded everyone for being idiots. He was a high-tech talent, and I was a divorced woman. How could I be worthy of him? Besides, my heart already belongs to someone else. Even if he really has feelings for me, I might not be moved by his talent.
Xiao Yang didn't talk much in the department, but he would chat with me when he had nothing to do. The content of our conversation was nothing more than patients and academic issues. It rarely involved personal life. Once, he suddenly asked me carefully if I was divorced. I answered yes, but he seriously asked me why I didn't find another one. I smiled and said that I didn't meet a suitable one, but he actually seriously recommended himself and said,"Do you think I can do it?" I smiled and shook my head to show that I was not worthy. In the end, Xiao Yang smiled awkwardly and deliberately emphasized that he was joking with me. I also think he's just joking. Think about it. Why would a handsome man with a high degree be interested in a divorced woman? Besides, I don't have any good looks, and I don't know how to please men. Perhaps because of this joke, Xiao Yang and I seemed to be closer than other colleagues. In the following days, as long as he was free, he would find an opportunity to chat with me. I didn't avoid it. After all, having a friend was better than having more enemies.
After a busy day, I finally got off work. I took off my nurse's uniform and walked out of the department. Yesterday, Mom called to say that she had a bad cold and asked me to take some time to send her some medicine. Today, I'm on the day shift and can go home now. When I reached the stairs, I saw Xiao Yang talking to a patient's family member.
The tall and mighty middle-aged man said loudly,"Doctor Xiao, you're a doctor. You've put in a lot of effort for my mother's surgery tomorrow!”
"Of course!" Xiao Yang said gently.”
"I'll only be at ease if you take this!”The middle-aged man took out a red packet from his pocket and stuffed it into Xiao Yang's hand.
When I saw this scene, I immediately became interested. The hospital clearly stated that doctors were not allowed to secretly accept red packets, but that person did not like money. There were many doctors in the hospital who received red packets. According to rumors, our director was an expert at receiving red packets. If it was not for this gray income, he would not have bought two mansions in the city and sent his daughter abroad to study. However, he had done his job cleanly, and the hospital's leaders had not found any traces of him for so many years. Xiao Yang was a new doctor, and he usually had a good character. He wondered if he would reveal his true nature under the temptation of money today.
Xiao Yang pushed the man's hand away and said seriously,""What are you doing? It's my duty to perform surgery. I can't accept this!”
The man seemed a little impatient and shouted,"You have to take it. Otherwise, I won't be at ease.”
"Big Brother, it's our duty as doctors to save lives. Even if I don't take the red packet, I will still seriously complete your mother's surgery.”Xiao Yang smiled and pushed the red packet back.
The man was a little impatient and said loudly,"I have plenty of money. Aren't all doctors like you? Your director accepted it just now, so there's no need for you to act all high and mighty in front of me!”
The man's words deeply provoked Xiao Yang. He loved medicine, and in order to learn more knowledge, he had spent the most precious youth of his life. Now, he finally devoted himself to clinical work. He wanted to do a good job and be respected and loved by the patients, but he did not expect this man to insult his character. He could not help but be so angry that the muscles on his face began to tremble. He shouted,"Please show some respect when you speak. What do you mean by all doctors are like that? Do you think we only lack your stinking money?”
"Brat, what are you being so arrogant for? There are many doctors now. I'm giving you money because I think highly of you. Don't be ungrateful!”The man was also furious. He raised his arm and shouted.
"I don't need your respect. I just want a clear conscience!”Xiao Yang wasn't scared by this fierce man and said calmly.
"I'm telling you, it's fine if you don't take the money. If anything happens to my mother tomorrow, I'll take your life!”The man shouted arrogantly.
Xiao Yang's eyes were filled with anger, and he clenched his fists unconsciously. After all, he had just started working, so he didn't understand the hardships of being a doctor. He also didn't know that the profession of a doctor depended on forbearance to survive. In order to prevent him from causing serious consequences due to his impulsiveness, I quickly walked to his side and whispered,"Ignore him. All the patients 'family members are like this now!”
Xiao Yang looked at me and his anger dissipated by half. He slowly loosened his clenched fists.
The man saw that Xiao Yang didn't move and laughed wildly,""Kid, you're no match for me in a fight. You'd better save your strength for tomorrow's surgery!”With that, he strode out of the hospital. Looking at his arrogant face, I wanted to kick him in the butt. However, this was a hospital and I was an angel in white. If Xiao Yang and that man really fought today, the media would definitely criticize the medical staff. They didn't care who was right or wrong. They only knew that angels should be selfless.
"I'm so angry! I really wanted to teach him a lesson just now!" Xiao Yang glared at the man's back and said angrily.
I smiled and comforted him." That's nothing. In the future, you'll encounter more serious situations than this. As a doctor, you have to learn to endure. The white coat on your body limits you to be like a saint. You have to live without desire or struggle. Besides, that man is big and rough. If you guys really fight, you'll definitely be the one at a disadvantage!”
"What you said makes sense. Sigh, who asked them to be the disadvantaged group in the eyes of the world!”Xiao Yang adjusted his glasses and smiled.
"It's good that you know. In the future, when you encounter such trash, stay away!”
"I know. He just said that the director accepted his red packet. Do you think it's true?”Xiao Yang suddenly asked seriously.
Even though the department director is greedy and lecherous, and all the old colleagues in the department know about it, I don't want to be a gossiper. If the department director finds out that I told Xiao Yang about his shameful things in the future, he will definitely skin me alive. I smiled and shook my head."That bastard is full of nonsense. The director is so honest. Why would he accept his stinking money?”
"I think so too!" Xiao Yang smiled in relief.
"Alright, don't take this matter to heart. The surgery tomorrow is the main business!”I smiled. After all, this is Xiao Yang's first surgery tomorrow, and the patient's family is so unreasonable. I don't want anything to happen to Xiao Yang.
"Thank you for your reminder! I'll treat you to a meal!" Xiao Yang said as he took off his white coat and quickly put it in the department. Then, he ran to me.
"I still have things to do, you don't have to be polite!"”
He sighed helplessly and said,"Then we can only do it another day!"”
"Alright, see you tomorrow!" I strode out of the hospital without looking back, afraid that Xiao Yang would change his mind and insist on dragging me out for dinner. In the past, when no one was paying attention to me, I wished that all the men in the world would come to look for me. Now that I finally had a man by my side, I felt annoyed. The most important problem was that Xiao Yang was not my type at all. If the person who asked me out for dinner today was Lu Kai, I would definitely go with him happily. When I thought of Lu Kai, my heart felt warm, but at the same time, I felt a little sad. Ever since the New Year's Eve meal delivery incident, he hasn't contacted me. The phone I called him on has also been cut off. I originally planned to go to his school to look for him, but recently, there were too many patients and I didn't have time. It's not easy for me to take a break tomorrow. Why don't I go and see him!
