Chapter 454: 421 Filial Piety to Mother-in-law (1 more update)

Tongtong and his grandma were no longer surprised by such reactions; the nurses at the clinic had acted this way before.

Tongtong looked at Lu Han with earnest eyes and said very sensibly, "Doctor Lu, we can only trouble you now."

Lu Han, feeling heartache, patted Tongtong’s head. "Tongtong, I’m sorry."

"It’s okay, Doctor Lu, that doctor sister was probably doing it for the first time, Tongtong doesn’t blame her." Tongtong was sensible yet calm.

"Come on, Doctor Lu will clean it for you. Your wound needs to be medicated first, and once the pus is mostly gone, we’ll go to the hospital and let me examine it properly. It might not even require surgery."

"Yes, thank you, Doctor Lu."

Lu Han nodded and began to carefully clean the pus from Tongtong’s ear canal. Half an hour later, he had cleaned Tongtong’s ear canal and stuffed a small piece of cotton soaked with anti-inflammatory fluid into it.

At the same time, he reminded Tongtong’s grandma to help Tongtong take out the cotton in an hour.

"Of course, Doctor Lu. We’ve really troubled you, and we’re sorry about your colleague; we feel bad for making her uncomfortable," Tongtong’s grandma, also a kind-hearted person, said. Ouyang Jingjing had gotten sick like that, and instead of complaining, she felt rather guilty.

Tongtong was her precious grandson. Whatever his condition, she as his grandma never found it gross; he was her beloved treasure.

At the same time, she understood that others may not feel the same as she did.

However, she always believed that there were more kind-hearted and tolerant people in the world—

like Doctor Lu.

"It’s fine. Is she still vomiting?"

"Yes, anyway, she didn’t come back upstairs; she’s downstairs," Tongtong’s grandma nodded.

"Got it, I know. Tongtong’s grandma, Tongtong, I have some things to do, so I’ll be leaving now. I’ll bring Sister Tangtang to see you another day; she definitely won’t react like the doctor sister just did."

"Yes, Tongtong knows."

"Eh? How do you know that?" Lu Han asked curiously.

"Because Doctor Lu likes Sister Tangtang. Grandma says Doctor Lu has good taste, and that Sister Tangtang is also a good person."

"You little smartie."

"Behave at home and listen to grandpa and grandma’s words. Next time, I’ll let Sister Tangtang bring you a gift that you like."

"Doctor Lu, you don’t need to bring gifts; don’t spoil Tongtong. It’s enough if you and Miss Tang come over."

"Alright, Tongtong’s grandma."

As Lu Han was about to leave, Tongtong’s grandpa came back from grocery shopping. "Doctor Lu is here. Have lunch with us before you go; I’ll go buy some more groceries."

"Doctor Lu has other things to do," Tongtong’s grandma said quickly.

"You have other matters?" Tongtong’s grandpa looked at Lu Han.

"Yes, I have to have lunch at my mother-in-law’s house," Lu Han said with a smile, not hiding the fact.

"Oh, then you and your family should indeed spend some time together," Tongtong’s grandpa said and did not insist any further.

"Then I’ll be leaving now. Tongtong, Doctor Lu will come to see you another time."

"Okay, Doctor Lu, goodbye. Remember to bring Sister Tangtang next time."

"You child, Doctor Lu is very busy; he doesn’t have that much time to come by. Next time, let’s go to the hospital to find Doctor Lu when he’s working."

"It’s fine. You’re already exhausted from taking the child back and forth. I’ll make regular visits." Doctor Lu was especially considerate; he felt a special connection with Tongtong.

He treated many young patients, but it was only Tongtong he paid special attention to, willing to spend his private time to help him.

It wasn’t entirely because Tongtong’s family was poor—after all, there are so many poor families. Thus, the fate between people is just so mysterious.

When someone catches your eye, they just do.

Whatever displeases the eye will always displease it.

"Thank you for your efforts, Doctor Lu. I’ll escort you downstairs."

"No need, Tongtong’s grandma. Just keep Tongtong company. This is for Tongtong. I was in such a hurry leaving this morning that I didn’t bring any gifts for him. Take this and buy him something he likes."

"We really shouldn’t, Doctor Lu. You have already helped our family so much. We can’t accept this money."

"It’s for Tongtong, not for the two of you. Take it, I’m very fond of him," insisted Lu Han, trying to hand over the thousand yuan.

"Then... thank you, Doctor Lu."

"You’re welcome."

Lu Han turned and walked downstairs, where Ouyang Jingjing still looked pale. Seeing Lu Han finally coming down, she hurriedly gargled with mouthwash.

Afterwards, as Lu Han approached, Ouyang Jingjing straightened up, "Lu Han..." Brother

Before she could finish the honorific, Lu Han looked at her coldly, "Ouyang Jingjing, can you be a good otolaryngologist with this behavior? If you can’t even clean a patient’s ear canal, how will you face other more challenging cases?"

"Are there even more challenging cases?" Ouyang Jingjing couldn’t believe it.

This was indeed different from what she expected. When she did her internship abroad, it wasn’t like this.

How come once back in the country, doctors have to clean patients’ ear canals personally? Abroad, that was a job for the nurses - doctors only needed to diagnose and didn’t have to get personally involved in these tasks.

"Ouyang Jingjing, I’ve said it before, you’re not cut out to be a doctor. It’s best you give up sooner. I have things to do, so I’m off."

"Lu Han, Brother—" Ouyang Jingjing followed him.

It seemed that only now did she realize that Lu Han’s purpose in inviting her to come along was to get her to give up.

But how could she give up so easily?

"You definitely won’t be able to join my team. If another team wants you, then you can stay," he said.

After saying that, Lu Han hailed an electric motorcycle, asking the driver to take him to the nearest place where he could catch a taxi.

Ouyang Jingjing: "..."

Visiting his mother-in-law’s home for a meal, Lu Han bought some fruits and ready-to-drink bird’s nest with white fungus soup.

They are good for a woman’s beauty, highly recommended by the shop owner, so Lu Han bought a box of them as a gift for his mother-in-law.

Tang Shengyi was on a day off today, going fishing by the river with his colleagues. It had been a long time since he last competed with them, so Tang Shengyi was brimming with confidence.

Lately, everything at home had been going well and smoothly, and having such an outstanding son-in-law who doted on his daughter was a bonus.

His son had also bought a house, only waiting to return from military service, get married, and settle down.

In a few years, he and his wife would retire and truly enjoy a perfect old age surrounded by their children and grandchildren.

Days like these, just thinking about them felt wonderful.

He had planned to cook a nice meal for his wife today, but she wouldn’t allow it, saying they had been eating rich food recently and she needed something light, encouraging him to go out and enjoy himself.

Tang Shengyi felt overjoyed inside – having an understanding wife really was wonderful.

Su Ruoan had invited Lu Han home for lunch, which was simply three dishes and a soup from the canteen after work – perfect for two people.

"You said you were coming over for a meal. You didn’t need to bring all these things. If I wanted to eat something, I’d buy it myself. Too much fruit will spoil if not eaten soon."

"It’s fine. If we can’t finish it, it’s also good to give some to your mother. By the way, is your brother still staying at home?"

"Your brother went out early today. Today, it’s not mother-in-law and son-in-law, but senior and junior from college, and we’ve got official business to discuss, not personal."
