The next day.
In the morning, at the county hospital.
Dong Xuebing was woken up by the needle. He took a deep breath in pain, and his reflex was to twist the head nurse who was giving him the injection. The head nurse, who was giving him the injection, fell to the ground. Dong Xuebing heard a loud thud, and then the head nurse screamed in pain.
In the ward.
The doctors and nurses were dumbfounded!
"Aiyo! My waist! "
"Sister Chen! How are you? "
"Mayor Dong, what are you doing?!"
"Quick, help Little Chen up. This is a big deal."
The head nurse was too fat. It took three people to help her up from the ground. She sat on a chair and grimaced in pain while holding her butt. It was obvious that she had fallen hard.
Dong Xuebing looked at the nurse and the needle in his arm. He sat up and leaned against the headboard. "Why didn't you tell me you were injecting me? Wake me up before injecting me. I thought you were trying to sneak an attack on me. I'm sorry, nurse."
The head nurse weighed more than 160 pounds, and the few of them could barely support her!
You, on the other hand, fell down with a twist of your wrist. You don't look like a patient!
The nurse next to Dong Xuebing smiled. "We tried to give you an IV drip last night, but you pulled it out in the middle of the night. We are afraid you will not listen to the doctor and did not give you an IV drip. We wanted to give you the medicine while you were asleep. Who knows you will have such a big reaction when you are asleep?"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "You should at least tell me first. I had no time to react, and you gave me an injection. How would I know what happened?"
The fat head nurse was obviously the most unlucky one.
"Are you alright?" Dong Xuebing looked at her.
The chubby head nurse calmed down a little. "I'm fine."
A few doctors and nurses began to examine his wound, finished the injection, and urged him to take the medicine. Finally, they closed the door and went out.
Ring, ring, ring. The phone rang.
He looked at the number and saw that it was Jiang Fangfang.
"Hello." Dong Xuebing answered. "Sister Jiang."
Jiang Fangfang said, "I'm at your place. I've already taken my clothes."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Alright. Thank you. Sorry for troubling you."
Jiang Fangfang said calmly, "But I didn't find your underwear or socks. Where did you put them?"
"Ah?" Dong Xuebing blushed. "Err … they are all in the cabinet. I am not sure."
"There's nothing in the cabinet, but I found some unwashed socks in the washing machine. I washed them for you just now, but they're not dry yet, so I can't bring them over."
"Aiya, how can I trouble you again? I can wash it myself."
"I've already washed them. You should think about where you put your underwear first."
"Oh right, I remember now. I think it's in my suitcase. I forgot to take it out when I came back."
"Let me see." Gulp. There was a sound on the other end. Half a minute later, Jiang Fangfang said faintly, "Yes, I found it. I'll go to the hospital now. Hang up."
The line went dead.
Twenty minutes later.
Jiang Fangfang entered the ward and closed the door behind her.
Dong Xuebing quickly got out of bed to welcome her. "Mayor Jiang."
"Lie down and don't move." Jiang Fangfang walked up and reached out her hand. She pressed on his shoulder to make him lean back and handed him a plastic bag. "Here."
Dong Xuebing took the plastic bag from her. "Thank you."
Jiang Fangfang looked at Dong Xuebing. "Can you change it yourself?"
"I can. It's just some external injuries, and there are no fractures." Dong Xuebing replied.
Jiang Fangfang got up. "Ok. I will go to the bathroom. You can change." She walked into the bathroom and closed the door. Dong Xuebing thought for a while.
Dong Xuebing thought for a while. He should still need to go for checkups during the day, and there will be other government officials coming to visit him. There are many things to do, and there is nothing in the hospital gown. It will be embarrassing if his butt is naked. Dong Xuebing is the Executive Deputy Mayor, and he must mind his image. So, Dong Xuebing thought for a while and listened to the sounds coming from the bathroom. He took off the patient's pants and took out a pair of underwear from his bag before putting on his pants.
Dong Xuebing took out his socks.
Dong Xuebing could hear the toilet flushing.
After a while, someone knocked on the door. "Are you done?"
"Yes, I'm done." Dong Xuebing was wearing his socks on the bed. Although he did not feel anything from yesterday's injuries, he felt uncomfortable after waking up. His wounds were more painful than yesterday, and it was a little strenuous for him to reach for his socks.
Jiang Fangfang came out of the bathroom after wiping her hands with a tissue. Dong Xuebing was still wearing his first sock.
Jiang Fangfang looked at Dong Xuebing and sat at the foot of the bed. She picked up the other sock and put it on his bare feet.
Dong Xuebing got a fright. "Stop!"
"Don't move." Jiang Fangfang replied casually.
"How can I do this?!" Dong Xuebing was stunned. "I will do it myself!"
"Lift it up." Jiang Fangfang did not listen to Dong Xuebing and helped him wear his right sock. After that, she helped him wear his left sock.
It's fine if he asked the Mayor to cook for him.
It's fine if he asked the Mayor to wash his clothes and underwear.
But now, he is asking the Mayor to help him wear his socks. This is …
Dong Xuebing was flattered and touched. Other than his mother, who else can do this for him? Jiang Fangfang is too nice to him.
Dong Xuebing quickly said.
Dong Xuebing quickly said. "Hurry up and wash your hands."
"It's fine." Jiang Fangfang covered Dong Xuebing's feet with the blanket.
Suddenly, someone tried to open the ward's door. Dong Xuebing knocked on the door, and it was a nurse. "Mayor Dong, you asked me to update you on Madam Zeng's condition. She woke up ten minutes ago, and the doctor had checked her. She is in stable condition and is out of danger."
"Ok. I know."
"Then you should rest first. There will be a checkup before noon."
Ceng Linghua is fine, and this is good news!
Dong Xuebing looked at Jiang Fangfang. "Sister Jiang, shall we go and take a look?"
"Then get a wheelchair. Can you get off the bed like this?"
"I don't need a wheelchair. I'm fine."
Dong Xuebing got off the bed and put on his slippers. Jiang Fangfang helped him up and did not say anything when she saw Dong Xuebing can walk.
At the end of the corridor.
Outside another single ward.
When Jiang Fangfang and Dong Xuebing reached the door, Ceng Linghua's parents saw them and ran out to welcome them.
"Mayor Dong!"
"Thank you, Mayor Dong! Thank you! "
The old couple had dark circles around their eyes and had not slept the whole night. Now that their daughter is awake, they are relieved and don't know how to thank Dong Xuebing. The old man held Dong Xuebing's hand with his walking stick and shook it with one hand.
Chu Peng, who was sitting in front of the bed, also stood up.
Dong Xuebing quickly said. "Don't be like this. It's what I should do. I had thanked you yesterday, and you don't have to thank me today."
Dong Xuebing's grandmother replied. "There is no need to thank me. We are not related, and you risked your life to save Linghua. We will remember this forever!"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "It's not that serious. It's good that Sister Zeng is awake."
Chu Peng immediately asked. "How are you feeling, Mayor Dong?"
"My wounds are all stitched up, and I'm fine." Dong Xuebing replied.
Ceng Linghua, who was lying on the bed, suddenly said softly. "Mayor Dong … is here? Old Chu … help … me up. "
Chu Peng immediately replied. "How can you get up?!"
Dong Xuebing added. "Sister Zeng, please don't get up. The operation had just ended, and you will need a few months to recover." Dong Xuebing knew Zeng Linghua will not get up even if she wants to, and he sat beside her. "How are you feeling? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? "
After yesterday's incident, Dong Xuebing's grandmother believes in Dong Xuebing's medical skills. "Linghua said she feels dizzy and nauseous."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "That's alright. She will feel like this after the anesthetic." Dong Xuebing looked at the monitor beside him. "Alright. She is stable, and she should be fine for now. But don't let your guard down. The two weeks after the operation is critical, and don't let the patient catch a cold or get infected. If she has a fever, let the doctor know. Hmmm … I might need to stay here for a few more days."
Dong Xuebing's grandmother and grandfather nodded.
Ceng Linghua turned to look at Dong Xuebing and forced a gentle smile. "Mayor Dong, thank you. After that … when I was unconscious … I had heard from … Old Chu … what happened … while I was unconscious."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Don't mention it. Rest well and don't talk."
Ceng Linghua said weakly, "You should also … rest more … because of me, you … got injured … I …" Saying this, Big Sister Ceng's tears rolled down her cheeks.
Dong Xuebing said. "Don't be so emotional. Go and rest."
Chu Peng took a handkerchief to wipe his wife's tears.
The old couple does not know much about government officials, and they pulled Dong Xuebing to the side to thank him. They are also concerned about his injuries.
Chu Peng did not say much as he knew Dong Xuebing had almost died to save his wife. Chu Peng saw Dong Xuebing chatting with his in-laws and walks over to Jiang Fangfang.
"Mayor Jiang."
"You did not sleep last night. Are you tired?"
"I'm alright."
"Let Sister-in-law rest. Linghua will not be able to sleep well if she stays here, and there are people keeping an eye on her. Shall we have breakfast together?" Jiang Fangfang looks at Dong Xuebing.
Chu Peng nodded without hesitation. "Ok."
Jiang Fangfang asked Dong Xuebing and the old couple.
The old couple had just finished breakfast, and Dong Xuebing still needs to go through the tests later.
"We will go now." Jiang Fangfang and Chu Peng left the ward and went downstairs.
Dong Xuebing looked at them chatting and laughing as they left. He knew the Political and Legal Committee should be getting closer, and the Jiang Faction will have another strong leader soon!
