Surgery Godfather

The pregnant woman is already anesthetized, and the autologous blood transfusion machine is activated and ready.

An associate chief physician from the pediatrics department is sterilizing with his attending physician.

“Scrub in!” Director Ke checks the patient’s position and consults the monitoring data, rolling up his short-sleeved scrub gown.

Surgeons, no fuss, all clean and efficient. Besides Yang Ping, Director Mei is also stepping onto the stage. They are most familiar with the anatomy of a pregnant woman’s uterus and can help in the process.

They perform so many Caesarean sections every day, they know how to operate their way into the uterus even with their eyes closed.

“Doctor Yang, you will be busy. You need to play the leading role in this surgery!” Director Ke said while scrubbing his hands.

...

“We are responsible for the exposure. The key steps in surgery are up to you.” Director Mei added.

Indeed, both directors are in charge of entering the uterus, exposing the fetus. The remaining step, forming the Z shape, is to be completed by Yang Ping.

“What, are you getting ready for the operation?” Director Han also enters the operating room.

“Old Han, how come you’re here too?” Director Ke knew that Director Han was busy and didn’t dare disturb him.

“Just taking a look!” Director Han exclaimed with a smile.

He came to support Yang Ping, or in other words, to share the risk.

Normally he wouldn’t ask about Yang Ping’s surgeries, but he would be sure to be there at his side at the operating table at key moments.

“How many operating rooms? I’ll go in first to check.”

——

“Old Yang, what do you think of this girl?”

The mother is always worried about Yang Ping finding a partner. A friend’s daughter teaches in G City; if Yang Ping doesn’t make a move, she plans to arrange a blind date.

Dad is impatient: “Why do you worry about nothing? We have our own grandchildren, all we need to do is not interfere, not hold him back. He has his own plans. I was able to find a wife even though I didn’t go to university, so why couldn’t he find a wife with his graduate degree? Now he needs to focus on his career; the competition in the big city is fierce. There are plenty of people marrying in their thirties, he’s not even thirty yet, what’s the rush?”

“What’s the rush? You’re not worried about anything. If we wait too long, all the good ones will be taken.” Mother loses interest and puts away her phone in a sulky mood.

“Is it like grocery shopping?” Father can’t resist joking.

“Speaking of it, today he’s performing surgery and asked a colleague to pick us up. What’s going on?” Mother looks out the train window.

“Doctors are always busy, timings are highly uncertain, especially in big cities. Our child had an emergency surgery today. He must be unable to get away, which is why he asked his colleague to pick us up. He said that his colleague will be at the east gate exit holding a sign with our names on it. Follow me and don’t go astray. There are scammers everywhere in the big city, and if you’re not careful, you can lose money.” Father flips through the magazines he brought.

“You talk as if you’re rich, saying we’ll lose money at any inattentive moment.” Mother scoffs.

Father was about to retort when the announcement rang out, they’ve arrived at the station.

“Dear passengers, the final stop of this train, Nandu station, is now reached. Please take all your belongings——”

Father carries two large bags, and Mother follows him amidst the crowd towards the exit.

“Stay close to me, there are so many people, pull my clothes.”

“How can I pull your clothes when you’re carrying stuff? I’ll just follow you.”

“Why are you pulling on my bag?”

“Didn’t you ask me to pull on it?”

It was difficult to pass through the turnstile with all the stuff. They went through the side manual channel.

“East Gate! Head towards the East Gate.” Father’s eyesight is good, he knows how to read guide signs, followed those pointed out.

“Old Yang, take a break, don’t strain your back.” Mother, feeling a bit of sympathy.

“Over there, the East Gate exit.”

Mother looks in the direction of the crowd, accurately spotting the exit.

The two stop near the door, looking around for someone holding a sign.

Finally, they see the welcoming sign with their names on it, held by a tall and beautiful girl.

“Is it her?” Father asks Mother.

Mother takes a glance at the tall and pretty girl. “A colleague? Female?”

“Female, let’s go ask.” Father had trouble carrying the luggage.

Mother, who is exceptionally gifted in language, was able to speak fluent Mandarin by watching TV. “Hello, young lady, are you Yang Ping’s colleague?”

“Uncle, auntie, hello!” Xiao Su immediately puts down the welcome sign.

“Just call me Xiao Su. Yang Ping is currently in surgery, so I came to pick you up. Let me take your things.” Xiao Su is very enthusiastic.

“Young lady, these things are heavy, I’d better carry them.” Father doesn’t put down his luggage.

“Auntie, let me help you with your things.” Xiao Su helps Mother with the luggage.

“Uncle, auntie, please follow me, the car is parked at the parking lot over there.” Xiao Su immediately leads the way.

What a lovely girl she is. Sweet-mouthed, beautiful, well-educated, and her body shape is great too, Mrs. Yang thought as they walked.

At the parking lot, Xiao Su opened the trunk, “Uncle, you can put your stuff here.”

“I’m afraid it might dirty your car.” Mr. Yang hesitated.

“No worries, Uncle!” Xiao Su helped Mr. Yang move his luggage.

Mr. Yang was very careful, as if afraid to scratch someone else’s car.

“Miss, you are Pingping’s colleague, right?” Mrs. Yang seized the opportunity to ask.

Xiao Su replied shyly, “Uncle, Auntie, I am Yang Ping’s girlfriend. Auntie, you can simply call me Xiao Su, Su from Suzhou.”

The hall was too noisy earlier, making their conversation unclear, so Xiao Su forgot to introduce herself.

A girlfriend? This kid, he did not even bother telling his mother about his fantastic girlfriend.

“So, Xiao Su, is that right?” Mrs. Yang was a little nervous.

“Yes, Auntie, my name is Su Yixuan!” Xiao Su remarked, feeling a bit nervous under Mrs. Yang’s scrutinizing gaze.

Usually, wives get nervous meeting their mothers-in-law, but right now even the mother-in-law was feeling a bit nervous, and somewhat excited.

After placing the luggage in the car, Xiao Su immediately opened the car door, “Uncle, Auntie, shall we get in the car now?”

When the couple had seated themselves in the car, Xiao Su also got in and handed a bottle of water to each, “Uncle, Auntie, I know you must be tired from the journey. You must be thirsty, please have some water.”

“Thank you, thank you!” Mr. Yang accepted the water.

“Where is your home? And do you also work in the hospital?”

“Auntie, I am a local, and I work in the same hospital as Yang Ping as an operating room nurse.”

“Nurses are great!”

Mrs. Yang was quite pleased. She had passed her test on occupation, as Mrs. Yang was also a nurse, albeit an unlicensed one.

Mr. Yang was sitting upright, tugging at his wife’s clothes, trying not to distract Xiao Su who was driving.

“Yang Ping had to attend an emergency surgery today, so he really couldn’t make it…”

Xiao Su was explaining for Yang Ping, and also introducing the developments along the way as well as details about the hospital.

As they reached near the hospital, “Uncle, Auntie, look, that’s our hospital! Yang Ping and I both work in Orthopedics.”

This is huge?

Even larger than the provincial hospital back home, the situation is indeed different in developed places.

The kid has done well for himself, working in such a place.

The car entered the community parking lot. When Xiao Su offered to help with the luggage, Mr. Yang immediately stopped her, “Dear, let Uncle do it. The things are heavy.”

Xiao Su had to help Mrs. Yang with the lighter items. When they reached the apartment that Yang Ping had rented, the elderly couple took the initiative to change their shoes and put away their things.

Actually, to carry their things, Mr. Yang had bought two brand new large canvas bags that were extremely clean.

Xiao Su took out some fruits and poured tea, showing the hospitality of a woman of the house.

“Uncle, Auntie, you can wash your faces and take a rest. We will have lunch at home, and then we can go out for dinner in the evening. We are currently renting this house, but we do plan on buying one soon.”

This rabbit, without uttering a word, he found such an excellent wife for his mother. Let her worry for nothing, wait and see how she will deal with him.

It isn’t rented, right? She’d heard that some young people rent girlfriends to deal with parental pressure to get married. Mrs.Yang, who had an active imagination, came up with this idea.

“Yang Ping is now a key technical person in our department. Our director has a high opinion of him.” Xiao Su introduced Yang Ping’s situation.

“Uncle, Auntie, I have prepared the water.” Xiao Su adjusted the water temperature in the bathroom, filled up a new basin, and even had a towel ready.

“Such a sensible child!”

The elderly couple was overjoyed.@@novelbin@@

“Yang Ping’s surgery should be almost over. I will go to the kitchen and make some food. Uncle, Auntie, you both can take rest and watch some TV” Xiao Su then turned on the TV.

The elderly couple washed their faces and sat on the sofa to rest.

“We can manage on our own, you can go ahead.”

“Auntie, I’ll help you.”

“Auntie, you can rest for a while.”

“No problem, Auntie cannot sit idle.”

She doesn’t just look pretty, she can cook too. We are assured now, really assured.

Wasn’t it said that the girls from the big city don’t cook? They only know how to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

As it appears, rumors can’t be trusted.
