"Doctor Ling, I brought some chestnut pancakes from home for you to try." Li Xiaoning rushed over from the ward area and took out a small paper box.
There was no packaging in the box. It was made of the simplest corrugated paper, and the words [Concentric Chestnut Pancake] were written on it.
Li Xiaoning smiled and said, "I know that it's not easy for doctors to accept gifts. These are some specialties from my hometown. There are twenty of them in a box, and they weigh one pound. They're not worth much, but they taste good."
Ling Ran did not think much about it. He took it and said, "I'll open it, then."
As he spoke, Ling Ran opened the gift box.
Opening a gift on the spot was a better way to treat a gift that Ling Ran knew. This was especially true for gifts that might be hidden inside.
Ling Ran had found many strange things in gift boxes in the past, and he finally learned this method.
Li Xiaoning was stunned for a moment, and she immediately felt relieved. She helped Ling Ran to explain, "There's no harm in being careful. Doctor Ling is a careful person … Hmm, if he's not careful, he won't be able to be a surgeon."
The chestnut pancakes in the small paper box were a faint golden color, and they looked very crispy after being baked. Twenty chestnut pancakes were packed in nineteen oiled paper bags, and only one was packed in a plastic bag.
Li Xiaoning smiled faintly and introduced, "In the past, they were all packed in plastic bags because everyone likes to see the chestnut pancakes inside. Now, aren't people paying attention to environmental protection? So they started using oiled paper. "
Ling Ran nodded and took out an oiled paper bag. He slowly opened it and revealed the golden chestnut pancake inside. He picked it up and looked at it while he asked, "How does your husband feel?"
"He's pretty good. He's out of the ICU and is now in a normal ward. He's already more comfortable. His condition is also stable. Doctor Ling, thank you so much. He suffered such a serious liver injury, and you managed to dig him out from hell … "Li Xiaoning's tone was sincere. After the car accident, she repeatedly thought about the people and things that happened, and she was the most grateful to Ling Ran.
If Ling Ran did not make a prompt decision to carry out emergency hepatectomy, Li Xiaoning doubted whether she could make it in time for the surgery with Professor Huang.
Even if she could make it in time, Professor Huang might not be able to save the patient. This was what Professor Huang said himself, and Li Xiaoning gradually believed in it.
"It's not the time for the patient to be completely out of danger. If you have time, stay with the patient and monitor his condition at all times." Ling Ran looked at Li Xiaoning and said, "Your family members are all doctors, so you have an advantage during the recovery period … I'll accept the chestnut pancake. Thank you."
Ling Ran knew that he had to accept some gifts.
He took out a bottle of pine nuts and handed it back to Li Xiaoning. "Recuperate pine nuts. Your family can eat them as snacks."
Li Xiaoning listened to Ling Ran and nodded non-stop. When the pine nuts were handed to her, she wanted to reject it, but when she heard Ling Ran say "pine nuts", Li Xiaoning could not help but take it.
Ling Ran smiled faintly and continued to go downstairs with the chestnut pancake in his hand.
In the parking lot downstairs, the small Volkswagen Jetta was polished until it was spotless. The paint was as dazzling as a car show.
Open the door.
Get in the car.
When Ling Ran arrived at Lower Groove Clinic, the sky was still dark.
Ling Ran carefully watched as the car entered the alley and parked it in the garage in the backyard. When he walked to the front yard, he could hear laughter coming from inside.
"The sea turtles in Tahiti are as big as our square table."
"Yes, they look very nice."
"We even took photos with the sea turtles."
Ling Jiezhou and Tao Ping said one after another, and their voices filled the entire clinic.
The neighbors were also very respectful. When they saw the photos, someone asked, "Is sea turtle meat delicious? How is it compared to turtle meat? "
"They don't give us food." Ling Jiezhou said regretfully and happily, "If they really want to sell it, I'll probably have to spend a lot of money. There aren't many sea turtles left now."
"Aren't sea turtles good at laying eggs?"
"Not many can be hatched …"
"Are sea turtle eggs delicious?"
It was expected that the topic would change.
Tao Ping and Ling Jiezhou did not care. They only wanted the photos to be circulated. Everyone's words were skewed, but compared to the skewed comments in their WeChat Moments, it was nothing.
When Ling Ran entered, he did not get much attention. At most, there were only seven or eight neighbors, more than ten families, and seven or eight young ladies who greeted him.
Ling Ran showed a socially acceptable smile, but Tao Ping grabbed him and messed up his hair.
"When we were not at home, did you eat well? Did you wear warm clothes? Did you have enough money? " Tao Ping asked a bunch of questions. When she got Ling Ran's affirmative answers, she threw him out of the circle.
Ling Ran obediently stood at the place where the light was the dimmest. Although he was still the focus of many people's gazes, the effect of his eyeballs had been minimized.
Considering that many neighbors would leave at the last minute if Ling Ran was chased back to his bedroom, Madam Tao Ping decided to let Ling Ran attend and started a new topic.
"The plane we took this time is very convenient. It's the world's largest plane, Boeing 787, but there are very few people on it. We were tired from sitting in the first class cabin, and the air stewardess even invited us to walk around in the cabin. We immediately felt comfortable." Tao Ping could become the fashion representative of Lower Groove and the surrounding areas because she could also blend in with the crowd when she was chatting in the alley.
Sure enough, the neighbors started to make countless connections between the largest plane and the first class cabin. Everyone chatted happily for a while. Some old men and women were idle, so they called out to Juan Zi to buy two more bottles of Red Ginseng.
Ling Ran's phone vibrated at this time.
Ling Ran took it out and saw a message from Tian Qi in his WeChat.
"Uncle and auntie, did you get home smoothly? I met them in Tahiti, and we took the plane back together. "Tian Qi added a cute emoji at the end of the sentence.
Ling Ran typed, "They are talking about their experience in the first class cabin."
"Because time is too tight, and there are very few flights back to the country, it's not good to ask customers who have already bought tickets to refund them. Although the family is the major shareholder, we still have to consider the opinions of other shareholders and directors. " Tian Qi quickly sent a message and wrote, "I'm going to suggest the family to privatize an airline company. I believe there will be more and more people who have similar needs."
Ling Ran sent a smiling emoji.
Tian Qi was greatly encouraged, and she typed excitedly, "Although I can't be compared to Doctor Ling, who is constantly making life-or-death decisions, I will also work hard."
She closed her eyes and clicked send. When she opened her eyes again, Tian Qi saw Ling Ran's reply.
"Work hard." Ling Ran also added an emoji at the end of the sentence.
Tian Qi laughed happily. She could not help but roll on the bed twice and threw the annoying pillow to the side of the bed. Then, she clapped her hands and shouted, "Young Wei, I want to see the stars."
"Okay, Young Qi." The AI butler, Young Wei, answered softly. At the same time, the ceiling above her head slowly opened, and the lights in the room gradually dimmed, shining dreamy starlight.
Tian Qi looked at the starry sky and fell asleep.
