I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 417: Date with Eucommia

Xia Qingdai accepted the professional advice of the piano store's mover and left the piano alone for two days. She was not in a hurry to play it.

There's no need to show off in front of your own brother.

After the two movers left, Xia Qingdai and her brother Xia Shanglu went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.

As usual, when Xia Shanglu was away, he was always responsible for cooking, and Xia Qingdai assisted him.

At this time, she was washing vegetables while asking: "Brother, why did you come back at noon today? Now that we live far away, it's inconvenient for you to come back and forth, right?"

"The New Year is coming soon. The institute is not so busy these two days and there are some vacancies, so I took my accumulated annual leave." Xia Shanglu explained.

"Oh, so you're taking a break in the afternoon too?"

"Yes, so we'll make a good meal at noon and eat something delicious."

"Hehe! That's great. I want to eat white crab with scallion oil."

As a grassroots policeman in the provincial capital, Xia Shanglu's annual leave is basically for show, and it is passively invalid every year. It is a rare opportunity to have free time to take annual leave, so it would be a waste if he doesn't take it.

In fact, let alone annual leave, they find it difficult to enjoy even ordinary weekends. Labor laws do not exist in their country, and overtime is commonplace.

But as long as they can spare the time, the leaders are still willing to make things convenient for everyone. It's almost the New Year, and everyone's mind is not so focused on work.

At this critical juncture before the New Year, the most active and dedicated people are probably the thieves who are thinking of making a fortune before returning home.

Nowadays, due to the development of mobile payment, it is rare to see thieves stealing things on the streets. They have changed their direction and started burglary.

Burglary is much more serious than ordinary theft because it is more likely to develop into a homicide.

Fortunately, Xia Shanglu has been very lucky recently. Not only is his main job not too busy, but his part-time novel is also booming. Even the petty thefts that were more active at the end of previous years have decreased this year.

As long as the world is peaceful, the police can breathe a sigh of relief.

After Xia Qingdai finished washing the vegetables, she stood by and watched her brother cook with her hands raised. She suggested, "Brother, since you have a break in the afternoon, why don't we go to the New Year's Market together later?"

"You can buy New Year's goods online. Why go there specially?" Xia Shanglu had no interest in visiting the market. "By the way, your handsome senior brother, the one who is very good at diagnosis, is he still in school now?"

"Are you talking about Senior Brother Du Zhong?" Among all the people Xia Qingdai knew, there was only one person who was both handsome and good at diagnosis, Du Zhong. "He's here. Last time I heard him say he wasn't going home for the New Year this year."

"Are you medical students so busy? You don't even have time to go home for the New Year." Xia Shanglu frowned slightly. It seemed that his sister had chosen a busy job just like him!
"He's very busy. You don't know that he's a great paper writer. He's currently working with the director of the Department of Endocrinology at the Affiliated Hospital on a research project on how long-term coronary artery disease causes diabetes. I heard from my senior that they have already published five top papers on this project alone this year, and Senior Du is the one in charge of writing the papers in the group."

"So amazing." Xia Shanglu nodded, "Why don't you ask him if he's free to help Aunt Wang with a physical examination."

"What's wrong with Aunt Wang?" Xia Qingdai asked with concern.

This Aunt Wang is the wife of Xia Shanglu’s current leader and also an old colleague of their father. She has taken good care of them over the years.

Many of the state care procedures were handled by the couple. Once, when Xia Shanglu was too busy to leave, she even helped Xia Qingdai hold a parent-teacher meeting.

"Auntie Wang has been complaining of stomach pain recently, and she doesn't know why. She went to the hospital for a gastroscopy, and it was found that she had a mild antral gastritis, so it wouldn't hurt that much." Xia Shanglu said as he steamed a large crab in a pressure cooker, "I thought your senior brother's examination was quite accurate last time, so why not trouble him?" Xia Qingdai pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "His diagnosis is indeed very strong, I'll make an appointment with him later."

Xia Qingdai thought she had a little understanding of Eucommia ulmoides, so in addition to friendship, she also had to pay him money to invite him out of seclusion.

"I'll take Aunt Wang's pulse then. If neither of us can find the cause, I'll ask my master for help."

"Your master should be very busy at the end of the year, right? Can he spare some time? An appointment with Dr. Liang in the hospital costs hundreds of dollars, and it's impossible to get one. The Liang's Chinese Medicine Clinic downstairs doesn't have an appointment with him recently."

"Well, he's still in Beijing, but he should be able to rush home on New Year's Eve. We can't get through during normal working hours, so why don't we go look for him after work?"

"Okay, if you two can't figure it out, go and trouble your master again."

"Well, you cook, and I'll contact Du Zhong."

After saying that, Xia Qingdai turned and went into the room, took out her cell phone and sent a message to Du Zhong.

Xia Qingdai: Brother Du, are you still in school now? Have you returned home?

Eucommia ulmoides: If you have something to say, just say it.

Xia Qingdai: #^_^# My aunt has had stomach discomfort recently. She went to the hospital for a gastroscopy but nothing was found. I want you to take a look at her again. Do you have time? I will take her pulse with you and we can discuss it with each other.

Eucommia: When?
Xia Qingdai raised her head and shouted towards the kitchen: "Brother, when is Aunt Wang's examination? Can you try to coordinate with my schedule?"

Xia Shanglu replied: "You can make an appointment whenever the other party is free. Aunt Wang retired this year and has a lot of free time."

Xia Qingdai then typed quickly: It’s better to find a day than to wait for another day, how about today?

She knew that there was no need to be polite with Du Zhong, and paying the consultation fee according to the rules would be better than saying anything.

Sure enough, Du Zhong replied quickly, and his writing style remained the same as always: Come to the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University at 6pm.

Xia Qingdai: Okay, thank you Brother Du.

Du Zhong didn't reply. Xia Qingdai put down her phone, turned around and went to the kitchen to tell her brother the time.

At the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University, Du Zhong put his cell phone in his pocket, changed into slippers and walked into the operating room.

Because of his excellent suturing skills, as well as his keen judgment and super hearing and super vision, he is very popular as a second assistant in surgery. Therefore, although he is just an intern, he already has a lot of surgical experience. Sometimes, a second assistant who has mastered the art of feeding can make the surgeon more comfortable than taking supplements.

When Du Zhong walks around the hospital, he may rely on his looks to attract female nurses, but he definitely relies on his ability to attract doctors.

For the rest of the afternoon, Du Zhong was immersed in the operating room, and Xia Qingdai did not return to the castle. She sat at the desk in her room reading and studying.

Although it is winter vacation now, Xia Qingdai can't just think about playing all day long. She still sets aside time for studying.

When studying medicine, you just need to adhere to the philosophy that "the path to the mountain of knowledge is through diligence, and the boat to the boundless sea of ​​learning is through hard work."
