Recently, Zuo Cidian often came to the Shao family's restaurant.
He was the member with the least workload in Ling Ran's treatment group. Now that he was single again, he often came to the Shao family's restaurant when he was free.
Of course, the free time of the doctors in Ling Ran's treatment group was usually measured in hours.
Zuo Cidian got off work forty minutes earlier. When he arrived at the Shao family's restaurant, he first ordered the recently popular bamboo rat and some side dishes. Then, he saw Boss Shao come in from the back door with a welcoming smile.
"Boss Shao, I haven't seen you for two weeks. Where did you get rich?" Zuo Cidian greeted him half-jokingly.
Boss Shao chuckled and said, "I'm hospitalized. I'm staying in the General Surgery Department's building."
"Hospitalized again? What's wrong with you? "
"Didn't I cut a section of my intestines before this? I've been suffering from indigestion, and I had a lot of constipation a while ago, so I went to the hospital." Boss Shao spoke casually, but to him, it was indeed a small problem.
Zuo Cidian was quite shocked. "You were hospitalized for two weeks because of constipation?"
"Yes, I also did some other examinations. You know very well that you have to stay in the hospital for a while after you go there. By the way, are you guys going to celebrate? "
"It's a group gathering." Zuo Cidian smiled and said, "I still have to go out tomorrow, so let's eat something good today."
"I heard that Doctor Ling's treatment group is thriving. I've heard it many times in the restaurant." Boss Shao was much more familiar with Yun Hua Hospital than Zuo Cidian. As he spoke, he gave Zuo Cidian two more dishes for free and asked, "Doctor Ling is developing a new surgical method now?"
For doctors who could say the word "surgical method", they were not pure amateurs. Zuo Cidian said happily, "Isn't Doctor Ling performing hepatectomies recently? He's learning laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The liver and gallbladder are not separated. By the way, how's Boss Shao's gallbladder? "
"His liver has been resected, and his gallbladder was treated with choledochal lithotomy." Boss Shao smiled.
Zuo Cidian was very surprised. He looked at Boss Shao from head to toe as if he was looking at something interesting. "Has his liver been resected?"
"I've done it a long time ago. It was done in Yun Hua Hospital." Boss Shao smiled. "I fell down at that time, and my liver was in pain. I immediately made a speed dial and went out. When I was sent to the hospital, I only lost a little more than 1,000 points of blood."
Zuo Cidian looked at Boss Shao in shock again. 'He can actually be proud of losing more than 1,000 RMB of blood?' It's not like you've bought a cheap liver or something.
"Um … there are doctors who don't recommend lithotripsy to protect the gallbladder." Zuo Cidian felt that the topic of hepatectomy was too harsh, so he decided to change to a new topic.
For Boss Shao, choledochosparing lithotomy was indeed very easy. He smiled and said, "I don't know about other patients, but the contraction rate of my gallbladder seems to be alright. Also, I often have the chance to perform laparoscopy and laparotomy. If the stones in my gallbladder recur, I can just remove them when I perform other surgeries."
Zuo Cidian had nothing to say to that. There were too many reasons for him to kill them while they were at it. In fact, he even felt that it would be great if other people could do the same thing.
"Do you want a large piece of barbecued meat?" Boss Shao asked in a good mood.
"Isn't it red willow barbecue?"
"Red willow is too expensive, and I don't want to use it repeatedly, so I'll use iron skewers to roast it. It's not that fragrant. "
Zuo Cidian laughed when he heard that. "You're right, but Boss Shao, you're exposing your own shortcomings."
Boss Shao looked at Zuo Cidian and said calmly, "I'm saving money for you because you need to buy a house, a car, pay for a loan, marry a wife, raise a child, buy milk powder for your child, pay for school fees, buy Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, Hermes, and Burberry for your wife …"
"I understand, I understand. I'm the one who's short, I'm the one who's short … "Zuo Cidian did not want to listen anymore. He had just taken a loan to buy a BMW, and he had to pay more than 10,000 RMB every month. Coupled with other expenses, he was back to living a life where he could barely make ends meet. He did not want to hear about luxury bags.
Boss Shao chuckled. "I'm so envious of you. You still have the guts to eat bamboo rats. I have to calculate now."
"You're short of bile, and I'm short of money. It's appropriate." Zuo Cidian did not know if he should be happy or sad.
Soon, an Escalade that was six feet long stopped in front of the shop in a mighty manner.
Ling Ran, Yu Yuan, and the others got out of the car.
The three interns, Zheng Jun, Xiang Xueming, and Guan Fei also got out of the car from the back.
The young Guan Fei was the most excited. She said loudly, "I didn't expect that there would be a Cadillac limousine in a DiDi MPV!"
"It's an Escalade," Zheng Jun corrected her and touched the paint on the back of the car.
Compared to a car like a Rolls-Royce Phantom, many young people would think that the style was too old-fashioned. However, the Escalade with its tough and mighty appearance was different. It would make people feel that it was young, rich, and coquettish from the bottom of its heart.
Zheng Jun liked cars very much. He wanted to stay in a big city because he wanted to have a car to drive. A resident doctor would definitely not be able to afford a car without the help of his family, but if he stayed in a big city like Yun Hua, he could at least rent a car. If he collected more coupons, the price would not be too high, and it would not be a problem for him to occasionally enjoy his car.
Guan Fei liked the luxurious feeling in the car the most. She leaned against the car and took a few selfies before she followed the crowd into the Shao family's restaurant.
Under Boss Shao's orders, a few cold dishes were quickly served. There were also large pieces of barbecued meat and oven-roasted lamb chops served on the table.
"I'll personally go and grill a beef kebab. Please wait for a moment." Boss Shao happily went to work again.
"I'll go and get a few bottles of beer." Zhang Anmin took the initiative to get up and ran to the bar counter.
When he reached the bar counter, Zhang Anmin asked for a beer and said, "I'll pay the bill here."
"Now?" the cashier at the bar counter asked.
"Yes," Zhang Anmin said, "I'll pay the bill first, and we'll talk about what I ordered later."
"Okay, please take a look at the bill." The cashier printed a small note for Zhang Anmin.
Zhang Anmin glanced at it and raised his eyebrows. "So expensive?"
"You ordered four bamboo rats." The cashier pointed at the top of the note.
The corner of Zhang Anmin's mouth twitched. He endured it for a long time before he handed over a bank card and another one. He said, "Swipe it in two."
In his heart, Zhang Anmin comforted himself. 'Isn't this the purpose of social activities and private money?'
The cashier nodded and asked, "How much for each card?"
"Swipe 2,460 RMB here." Zhang Anmin pointed at the bank card with his private money and said, "Use the other card to swipe the rest."
The cashier pressed on the calculator and swiped Zhang Anmin's bank card with his private money. When Zhang Anmin entered the password, his heart was bleeding.
Then, the cashier continued to swipe the second card, but it was not successful.
"The balance is not enough," the cashier said.
"Impossible." Zhang Anmin quickly took out his phone and saw that the balance was indeed not enough.
When he looked carefully, he saw the message from his wife. [I enrolled our son in cram school. Save some money this month.]
Zhang Anmin was stunned on the spot.
"Sir?" the cashier urged him.
"What's wrong?" Ling Ran walked over to check on the bamboo rats and happened to see Zhang Anmin.
As a junior attending physician, Zhang Anmin could not help but feel embarrassed.
Ling Ran looked at the cashier.
Just being stared at by Ling Ran made the cashier feel weak. He could not help but say, "Sir, please pay the bill. The balance in your bank card is not enough."
Ling Ran looked at Zhang Anmin again.
Zhang Anmin said helplessly, "I took the wrong card."
Ling Ran said, "There are freelance surgeries tomorrow, so the expenses of department dinners are usually paid by the hospital where the freelance surgery is performed."
"Huh? You can do that? "Zhang Anmin was shocked. He had seen it before.
"Yes, because during freelance surgeries, there is usually no time to eat a big meal." Ling Ran paused and waved at Zuo Cidian.
Zuo Cidian ran over and asked anxiously, "Doctor Ling, is the kitchen not clean?"
"I haven't gone over to take a look yet. Arrange for Zhang Anmin to be the first assistant tomorrow," Ling Ran ordered and went to the kitchen.
Zhang Anmin had not recovered from the shock. He turned to look at Zuo Cidian and asked, "Why …?"
Zuo Cidian, a middle-aged junior resident doctor from the town hospital, looked at Zhang Anmin, an attending physician from Yun Hua Hospital who graduated from a famous university, gave him a faint smile and said, "Probably because he found out that you are poor."
