I'm back in 1990

Chapter 761: Feudal Ideologies Still Exist

Another week has passed in the blink of an eye, and the recruitment is still ongoing, but most of the applicants have already been eliminated.

As soon as Huang Xiaochuan entered the house that day, Yu Xiang came up to him, took his briefcase, and said, "Yu Wei is in the hospital!"

Huang Xiaochuan was immediately startled: "What happened to him? He was perfectly fine when we went back for dinner last time!"

Yu Xiang gently punched the man and scolded him, "Don't be so dramatic, okay? It's nothing serious, just appendicitis, not acute. But to make it better once and for all, I'll have him have the surgery. I asked Ji Mei to help arrange for him to stay in a hospital for now. The surgery is tomorrow afternoon."

Huang Xiaochuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'll go see him now!"

Anyway, the hospital is just across the street from home, only a few steps away. Besides, Yu Wei is a friend of two generations, and also his brother-in-law. Given these two relationships, Huang Xiaochuan has every right and reason to go to the hospital to see him.

Yu Xiang stopped the man: "Alright, alright, it's not too late for you to go tomorrow. You just got back and you're already going out. Brother Li and the others have been with you all day, let them rest too. Go take a shower!" After saying that, Yu Xiang busied herself disinfecting her briefcase as usual, while urging the man to go take a shower and change his clothes.

Huang Xiaochuan thought about it and realized that if he went out, Li Huan and the others would have to follow. So he decided to go take a shower and change his clothes tomorrow.

The next day, Huang Xiaochuan didn't go to his office; instead, he went directly to the hospital to visit his brother-in-law.

This connection really makes a difference; Yu Wei even got a single room, which is the treatment reserved for retired cadres.

Back when he was dating and married Yu Xiang, Huang Xiaochuan had been to this hospital countless times, so he knew it like the back of his hand. He went to the inpatient department as if he knew the way best.

"No, no, either send me a man, or I'm not having this surgery!" As soon as Huang Xiaochuan arrived at the ward door, he heard Yu Wei shouting loudly inside, and it sounded like there were other people trying to persuade him.

Huang Xiaochuan pushed the door open and went in. He saw Tang Yuan and two nurses confronting Yu Wei, while Yu Wei stood at the head of the bed, clutching his pants tightly, looking ashamed and indignant.

This scene confused Huang Xiaochuan, so he asked, "What are you doing?"

Tang Yuan turned around upon hearing the voice and saw Huang Xiaochuan. It was as if he had been waiting for a savior: "Brother-in-law, it's just in time that you're here. Please put in a good word for him."

When Yu Wei saw Huang Xiaochuan, he assumed he was a helper that Tang Yuan had brought. He shouted, "Bringing him here won't do any good. You'd better find me a male nurse no matter what."

Huang Xiaochuan pointed at Yu Wei and asked Tang Yuan, "What is he doing?"

Tang Yuan said angrily, "When I was having surgery this afternoon, the nurses wanted to come and prepare his skin in advance, but he refused and insisted on having a male nurse come instead. But the hospital only has a few male nurses, and they are all busy in the operating room. They don't have time to prepare his skin."

"Pfft!" Upon learning the reason, Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

No wonder his brother-in-law reacted so strongly; it turns out they wanted to shave his pubic hair! Especially his pubic hair. Just thinking about what Yu Wei would look like after his pubic hair was shaved made Huang Xiaochuan almost burst out laughing again.

Seeing that his friend not only didn't help but also laughed at him, Yu Wei became furious and shouted, "What are you laughing at! Hurry up and help me! Find me a male nurse!"

He added indignantly, "Why shave your skin when you're having surgery on your stomach? The two things are so far apart, they don't get in the way at all. I don't think it's a problem if you don't shave it."

"Who said that?" As soon as the words were spoken, Ji Mei, dressed in a white coat, appeared in the ward.

Yu Wei gave an awkward laugh and greeted Ji Mei sheepishly, "Sister Mei!"

Ji Mei rolled her eyes at Yu Wei and ignored him, instead greeting Huang Xiaochuan warmly: "Oh my, you're a rare guest!"

"Sister Mei, thank you for your help again this time!" Huang Xiaochuan greeted Ji Mei with a smile, then pointed to Yu Wei.

Ji Mei smiled and waved her hand: "You're too kind. What kind of relationship do I have with Yu Xiang? Her brother is my brother."

He then said to Huang Xiaochuan, "I'll talk to you about this later, let me deal with him first!"

Huang Xiaochuan smiled and made a gesture indicating that it was his turn to enter.

Ji Mei then said to Yu Wei, "How about this? I'll do your surgery anyway, or I can shave you down at the same time. You'll be naked anyway, and once the anesthesia is on, you won't know anything."

The two nurses covered their mouths and chuckled, while Yu Wei's face turned green.

"You're going to operate on me? Sister Mei, are you kidding me? Can't we get a male doctor?"

Ji Mei scoffed, "Tch! I didn't realize you were so old-fashioned! Let me tell you, in the eyes of us medical workers, there is no distinction between men and women. Here, there are only patients. Your sister is a doctor, and you don't even understand this basic principle?"

At this moment, Huang Xiaochuan also walked up to his brother-in-law and whispered in his ear, "Are you stupid?! You can accept having a man shave your pubic area? You don't want a skilled and gentle nurse, but you insist on having a rough guy? I'm speechless! Or should I have your sister do it for you?"

Yu Wei, looking awkward, whispered in Huang Xiaochuan's ear, "Isn't Tang Yuan here?"

Damn it, Huang Xiaochuan instantly understood that his unlucky brother-in-law was playing tricks!

He was putting on an act for Tang Yuan's benefit. Damn it, if I hadn't come, this guy wouldn't know how he would have ended up like this!

He first rolled his eyes at his brother-in-law, then turned to Tang Yuan and Ji Mei with a smile and said, "Alright, alright, let's go outside to talk. Don't disturb the nurses' work!"

After finishing, she didn't forget to thank the two nurses in advance: "Well, we'll go out for a bit, thank you for your hard work!"

Ji Mei and Tang Yuan were then wheeled out of the ward.

Once outside, Tang Yuan pointed to the ward: "Brother-in-law, what did you say to him? Was it that effective?"

Huang Xiaochuan laughed and said, "I told him that if he continues like this, I'll have his sister come and shave his skin for surgery!"

Tang Yuan paused for a moment, then laughed and gave Huang Xiaochuan a thumbs up.

Huang Xiaochuan smiled and then turned to chat with Ji Mei again.

"Sister Mei, where's your Dr. Shi? Let's get together sometime! We're all busy, but we should still keep in touch outside of work!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Mei gave a wry smile: "Him? He's busy applying to study at Jishuitan Hospital. He sees patients during the day and studies at night, so he doesn't get to sleep until midnight every night."

Huang Xiaochuan understands this very well. Doctors always need to improve their professional skills. As the saying goes, if you don't advance, you fall behind. You really have to keep learning as long as you work!

"Your husband, Lao Shi, is truly exceptional! He's the epitome of 'love what you do,' just by looking at him!"

Everyone loves to hear compliments, and Ji Mei was naturally very happy to hear Huang Xiaochuan's praise.

Just as the three were talking, two nurses finished their work and came out of the ward.

Tang Yuan was about to go in when Huang Xiaochuan stopped him.

"You chat with Sister Mei for a bit, I'll go in and check on him first!"

Tang Yuan smiled and nodded; she understood her brother-in-law's intention.

Huang Xiaochuan entered the ward and saw Yu Wei lying on the bed as if nothing had happened.

"Look how fast it is! How is it? How does it feel?"

Seeing that Tang Yuan and Ji Mei were not there, Yu Wei complained, "Damn it, I feel a chill down there, and it's kind of slippery! It just feels really weird."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan burst into laughter. This guy is amazing; that's a truly apt description.
