Chapter 232 [232] Dean Cai's family affairs

"What's the point of being open? There's no marriage at all times. In fact, she learned it from her cousin." Cai Junmei could hear the anger in her words.

Cai Junmei seldom talked about her family's affairs, but today she somehow got excited and continued: "You don't know, my niece is over 40 years old, you are 80 years old, right?"

"correct."

"Then she's three years older than you, and she's not married either."

"Oh, that's pretty big."

"That's right, now I'm working as a researcher at an experimental center in Seattle."

"That's a good job."

"She doesn't have a job, and her annual salary is high, but her personal problems have not been resolved, and she hasn't been back in the past few years. My brother is also very worried."

"Your brother? This is Dean Cai's daughter you're talking about?" Su Qingchun knew that Cai Junmei had an older brother who used to be the vice president of the hospital.

"Yes."

Cai Junmei's brother Su Qingchun was not familiar with him, but he had heard of him, or he knew him, but the vice president didn't know him.

Her brother's name is Cai Junqing, who used to be the vice president of this hospital, and an expert in the respiratory department, but he retired a few years ago!

As an ordinary doctor, Su Qingchun only knew him as the leader, and the department was not the right one, so naturally he didn't know Su Qingchun either.

But Su Qingchun's master is quite familiar with Dean Cai, just like Cai Junmei, they have been friends since childhood, so Su Qingchun knows a little about him.

I heard that he went to a private medical institution as an honorary president after retirement, and he is still continuing his scientific research in the Department of Respiratory Medicine. It can be said that he is very accomplished in this research field.

"Oh, so you're talking about Dean Cai's daughter. When you say that, I think I heard the master said that his daughter works in a biological research institute abroad."

"I heard it's pretty good." Su Qingchun didn't forget to add something after speaking.

"Yes, there is no problem at work, but her personal problem has always been annoying."

"Hehe...they have different insights, maybe they think more openly about this!"

"Hmph, they can think freely, and don't even think about what our elders think!" Cai Junmei snorted, and then complained after finishing speaking.

"She's just like my brother, she's tough, and my niece is also suffering. My brother divorced my strong sister-in-law when she was only a few years old. My parents also had jobs at that time, and my brother's job was even worse. I don't have time anymore, I was still studying at that time, and I could take her with me occasionally, but in fact, I don't know how she grew up since she was a child."

"My brother can be said to be a father and a mother to pull the child. Over the years, he has never found another partner. In the early years, he said that he would not find a partner because of the child. Later, when the child grew up, he said he was busy with work and was afraid of delays. Others, what reason do you think this is?"

"Hey...he is also a worrying person."

"Anyway, he's getting old now, so we won't urge him anymore. Fortunately, he has a successful career. If he doesn't get married, he can be regarded as a successful career. But this daughter also broke his heart, and now he's retired. It’s not because I stayed at home and had nothing to do.”

"Now I persuade him to find a partner, but he still doesn't. I don't know what he thinks."

"Hehe...Maybe Dean Cai is used to being alone."

Hearing Cai Junmei's words, Su Qingchun realized that she was the one who was anxious from the beginning to the end. Hearing what she said, Su Qingchun guessed that Dean Cai and his daughter probably feel that they are in a good situation now.

"Hey, this habit is too scary, just like the two sisters, I'm afraid they will get used to it too." Cai Junmei worried.

Su Qingchun really didn't know what to say at this time. After all, Cai Junmei told him that she believed in herself, but he really felt that Cai Junmei was looking for trouble, but he couldn't say it directly.

So he quickly changed the topic and said:
"Hey, Dean Cai, I remember that the one-child policy didn't seem to be that early. In our hometown, there are several basic children who are as old as Dean Cai, and both of them are considered rare. Dean Cai's thinking at that time So open, the one-child policy has been implemented in advance?"

"That's not true." Cai Junmei hesitated for a while and said, "Actually, my brother has two children, the daughter is the second child, and the son is the eldest."

"Oh, so that's the case. I always thought that Dean Cai had only one child." Su Qingchun really didn't know.

"If you came to the hospital late, you might not know it. In fact, my nephew is also a doctor, and he used to be a doctor in our hospital."

"That's right, I haven't heard of it, even my master hasn't mentioned it."

Cai Junmei hesitated for a moment and said: "Hey, this matter has been going on for many years, and everyone doesn't want to mention it anymore."

"Don't want to mention it?"

Su Qingchun looked puzzled, wondering if Dean Cai got divorced and his son followed his mother, so he didn't ask.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Cai Junmei suddenly said: "My nephew passed away as early as 2003 during the SARS."

Su Qingchun was shocked when he heard it. He originally thought that Cai Junmei deliberately concealed his family relationship to avoid it, but he didn't expect that he had passed away.

Seeing that Cai Junmei seemed to be very sad now, Su Qingchun felt a little embarrassed, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's been so long," Cai Junmei said, "It's a pity to talk about his nephew, he is also the pride of our family."

"He is really outstanding. He was an advanced individual when he first joined the work. Who knew that SARS came that year."

"He passed away during SARS, didn't he?"

Su Qingchun didn't finish speaking.

But everyone knows what it means.

Cai Junmei nodded.

Then he said slowly: "He graduated with a master's degree at the age of 26 and became the youngest attending physician in the respiratory department of the hospital. He has always been excellent. When SARS came that year, our hospital became a designated hospital. As a The party member is also a young and promising doctor in the respiratory department, and he rushed to the front line without hesitation."

"But I never expected that he would be infected in the end."

"At that time, I was still in college. I remember that during SARS, many medical staff were infected. We were also very moved at school at that time."

"Yeah, that battle was really tragic, and now I feel scared when I think about it, and the disease developed too fast. No one thought that it would be gone in just over a month!"

"That year he was only 28 years old, how young."

"28 is really the best age."

"That's right, and he just got married at that time, and his wife used to be a doctor in our hospital, and my niece and daughter-in-law were three months pregnant at that time."

"It's a posthumous child."

Cai Junmei had tears in her eyes as she spoke.

"Hey, it's a pity, he is really great."

"Yes."

"Then the child was born?"

"It was born. My niece and daughter-in-law are not bad. Her family members suggested that she get rid of it, but she insisted on giving birth. Our whole family is very grateful to her for this."

"Yeah, then she's quite courageous!"

"Then what happened later?" Su Qingchun asked.

"After the child was born, my brother originally wanted to take care of the child. After all, she is still young, and it is inconvenient to remarry with the child, but my brother and his sister-in-law divorced early. At that time, my brother was still the director of the respiratory department. Our work depends on you. I also know where there is time to take care of children, in fact, he can only take care of the nanny, my niece and daughter-in-law cherish the child and finally decide to take the child with her."

"Not long after, my niece and daughter-in-law also resigned, and the child was taken abroad by his mother for more than ten years. In the early years, my brother would still visit him. Now that he remarried, it is not convenient for my brother to go. "

"Oh..." Su Qingchun was also very touched when he heard it.

"Now it means that this grandson is often not seen." Cai Junmei said and sighed, "So I am very envious of your parents who have children and grandchildren by your side, how happy they are."

"Hearing what you said, I feel that Dean Cai is also working hard. We usually only see the glamorous side."

"Yes."

While speaking, the operation was coming to an end. Seeing that Cai Junmei was also tired, Su Qingchun said, "Go and rest. There are almost too many operations. Leave it to me now."

"Ah."

Cai Junmei withdrew from the operating table as she spoke.
