At noon.
Ling Jiezhou took down a piece of cured meat from the beam, then used a knife to cut half of it into a plate before he hung it up again.
The cured meat that had just been made not long ago was still glowing red. Only the skin was brown, and it looked like jade had been cut open.
Ling Jiezhou had always been serious when it came to cooking for his wife, and he chose the best spot. After the meat was steamed, he grabbed a large grass carp from the water tank, cut it open on the spot, and sliced it into fish slices.
There were a few people in Lower Groove Alley who liked to fish in the wild. If they could not finish the fish they caught, they would send it to Ling Jiezhou.
Ling Jiezhou usually sold the fish to them. Occasionally, the other party would be polite, and if they did not charge him money or did not charge him enough, he would make up for it with the medical fees or medicine the next time the other party came to see him.
The business of the Ling family's clinic had always been small, but they had never been short of money. From the perspective of the people in the market, they lived a prosperous life.
Ling Jiezhou had even practiced a few skills that he was proud of, and slicing fish was one of them.
The fish he sliced was white and translucent, and the sides were slightly curled. That was because it was too thin, but when it was thrown into the water, it was very tough. As long as he controlled the heat a little, it would not be broken.
"I was browsing TikTok today and saw a steaming fish slice. Coincidentally, we also have fish, so I made a light and numb version with some cabbage." After Ling Jiezhou finished cooking, he went to show off to his wife.
Tao Ping poured a cup of tea for him and said, "Drink a few sips first. You can just make something for lunch. Isn't our son coming back at night?"
"I knew that he would come back at night, so I made a big pot of fish slices. He won't be able to finish it, and it'll be hot at night. The cabbage will also taste good." Ling Jiezhou smiled and drank the tea. He then said, "There's a lot of cured meat too. When the time comes, he'll definitely be full from the soup."
Tao Ping rolled her eyes at her husband. "Our son only comes back a few days ago, and you don't even know how to make something good for him."
"He eats good food outside every day. There's no need for anyone else. Even Doctor Miao from the clinic wants to call him master every day and serve him a whole roasted lamb. "
Tao Ping snorted. "When did my son not eat well? Don't you remember? It was when he was in the third grade of elementary school. You thought that I gave my son money, and I thought that you brought food for him, but in the end, Ling Ran went to school empty-handed every day, and he ate until his face glistened. Later on, I returned the favor by buying too many yogurts, and I even helped the snack shop at the corner of the street get a regional sales representative."
"That's why I said, why should we bother him? We should just take care of ourselves. What did the older generation say? Not causing trouble for your children is the greatest contribution. " As Ling Jiezhou spoke, he rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Let's go. Let's go eat first. The earlier we finish eating, the earlier we can clean up, in case our son comes back and sees this."
After Ling Jiezhou called out to his wife, he walked to the dining hall in high spirits. She looked like a hen that was showing off her contribution to laying eggs.
After the clinic was renovated, it was much larger. The living area was basically separated from the clinic itself. For example, Doctor Xiong and the others could only work alone and eat by themselves. This made Ling Jiezhou feel that he had saved a lot of money.
When they arrived at the dining hall, there was a pot of boiling fish, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, and a serving of steamed bacon. It was simple, but it was quite flavorful. Tao Ping was also tempted. She hugged her husband with her arms and said coquettishly, "I want stewed rice, no oil."
"No problem. Sit tight first. " Ling Jiezhou scooped the rice and took two soup spoons. One was skimming the oil, and the other was scooping the soup. He was very busy, and there was a smile on his face.
He maintained his smile until he delivered the rice in his hands.
"Ling Ran is back." Ling Jiezhou showed a surprised and stiff expression.
"Yes, the five surgeries this morning went quite smoothly. The patients who were supposed to be operated on in the afternoon have also been treated, so I came back early." Ling Ran took off his coat and sat by the table.
"Go and get a bowl first. Scoop the rice yourself." Ling Jiezhou passed the bowl with the soup to his wife. He shook his head and could not help but laugh. "This kid is very lucky. This fish is the most energetic today."
Tao Ping smiled and shook her head. Then, she and her husband divided the four largest pieces of fish equally.
Ling Ran brought a bowl back and filled it with rice. He ate it with the bacon and fish, and it was quite delicious.
Even if there were chefs in the hospital, Lu Wenbin, and takeaway from restaurants, the taste of home was still unique. Based on Ling Ran's impression, his father rarely cooked Simmering Fish in the past.
After the meal, Ling Ran was drenched in sweat, and he actually felt lazy.
"I'm going to sleep." Ling Ran put down the bowl and chopsticks and left with a slight guilty conscience.
Ling Jiezhou did not chase after him to wash the dishes. Instead, he said with concern, "Remember to close the window. I let some air in this morning."
"Okay," Ling Ran replied, crawled back to his room, and fell into a deep sleep.
Recently, to select suitable patients for the newly built ICU, he did not perform many surgeries, so he did not drink any Energy Serums. Instead, he was very sleepy.
He slept until the afternoon, and Ling Ran was woken up by someone knocking on the door.
"Doctor Ling, are you up?" Doctor Xiong's voice came from outside the door.
Ling Ran was stunned for a moment before he got up and opened the door.
Doctor Xiong had bags under his eyes. He rubbed his wrinkles with one hand and leaned against the door frame. When he saw Ling Ran open the door, he could not help but smile. "Fortunately, you're back, Young Ran. Otherwise, it would be difficult today. Come, come, come … "
Ling Ran did not know what was going on. He followed and asked, "Do you want me to perform surgery?"
"You'll understand when you see him." Doctor Xiong chuckled.
The two of them walked one after the other, and soon, they arrived at the clinic's treatment room.
At this moment, there was a teenager sitting in the treatment room with a blank expression.
"Close the door." Doctor Xiong gave the chair opposite the young boy to Ling Ran and said, "This is Liu Chuangzhou. He's fourteen years old today, and he came to the clinic alone."
Doctor Xiong chuckled and said to Clinical Ward, "Doctor Ling is the best doctor in our clinic. Let's take a look at his injury." “
The young boy lowered his head.
Doctor Xiong gestured to Ling Ran and slowly took off the teenager's pants.
Then, he saw a small nut at the base of the teenager's penis.
Ling Ran looked at Doctor Xiong with a blank expression. 'Is this what they mean by "you'll understand when you see him"?
Who can understand? '
"He accidentally put it on." Doctor Xiong winked at Ling Ran and continued, "He came to my clinic for treatment before, and he's here now."
"In this kind of situation, do we usually call for a fire truck?" Ling Ran asked.
"It's too big of a commotion." Doctor Xiong pretended to lower his voice. The teenager beside him raised his head for a moment before he quickly lowered it again.
Ling Ran did not intend to argue. He changed the topic and asked, "Have you tried to remove it?"
"Yes, but it's not easy to remove. It's been embedded for a relatively long time, and the edema is more serious. " Doctor Xiong was old, and his hands-on ability had obviously declined. Moreover, his experience in this area was really lacking. Even when he was a medical student, this kind of case was quite rare.
"Have you tried using lubricant?" Ling Ran asked again.
Doctor Xiong nodded.
"Is that so …" Ling Ran could not help but ponder. Although he had been working in the Emergency Department for a long time, he had never handled a similar case. Forget about doctors who had only been working for a few years, some doctors who had been working for ten or twenty years might not even be able to handle such a … special case.
