"Whatâs the matter, Godmother?" Wu Lixuan asked. That Buddha outside is indeed hard to deal with, but thereâs no need to be afraid.
"To be honest with you, Lixuan, I didnât bring many gifts." Sun Rongfang opened one of the luggage bags to reveal the local specialties she had brought from home. Inside, it was packed with glutinous rice cakes, candies, and other snacks. Most conspicuous was the Songyuan soy sauce duck, which occupied the largest space in the bag. Anyone from Songyuan knows that Songyuan soy sauce duck is nationally renownedâitâs the ultimate local specialty and the best tasting item from there.
"Godmother, why did you bring so much stuff?" Wu Lixuan said.
"Itâs not that much." Sun Rongfang worried she hadnât brought enough. Initially, she thought that since her daughter studied here, she must have received care from the teachers. Bringing some gifts to thank the teachers is necessary. The only surprise was: Ah, are there really so many teachers who have a good relationship with my daughter? A whole bunch of people came?
"Who do you think we should give this duck to? Dr. Tao?" Sun Rongfang consulted her goddaughterâs opinion.
There were too many teachers outside, making it unclear which one had the closest relationship with her daughter.
Wu Lixuan thought this question was absolutely too difficult to answer. Godmother didnât know that her childhood friend knew too many big bosses hereâeven the biggest bosses. The group outside was just a small cluster.
Seeing her goddaughterâs weird expression, Sun Rongfang was full of questions.
"Auntie." Cao Yong came over and knocked on the door, standing at the entrance to seek the elderâs opinion, "Itâs getting late, shall we go eat?"
"Alright." Sun Rongfang responded promptly, quickly pulling up the zipper of the bag. With only one soy sauce duck, she couldnât let it be seen. Otherwise, it would be awkward if she didnât give it to someone who saw it.
After tidying up, Sun Rongfang walked out of the room and spotted her son still wearing Brotherâs clothes. She waved and said, "Come, wear a sweater and give the clothes back to Brother."
"Itâs okay, let him wear it. A sweater isnât as warm as a down jacket." Cao Yong said, telling the little friend not to take it off.
Yin Fengchun picked up on Cao Yongâs comment: "Later, if we pass a clothing store thatâs open, weâll go in and buy him a new one."
After all, wearing adult-sized clothes is not very comfortable for the little one.
The two future sons-in-law were competing over how to please their little brother-in-law. A group of Hepatobiliary Surgery onlookers secretly laughed on the side.
The brother wanted to buy new clothes for him, but Xie Youtian was initially unwilling to take off Brother Caoâs clothes. This kid felt that wearing Brother Caoâs clothes would make him as handsome as Brother Cao. So, when Brother Cao said there was no need to take them off for now, he bounced into the corner, pretending not to hear his mother asking him to take off the clothes.
Sun Rongfang wanted to glare at her son: itâs only their first meeting, how could he treat Brother like they were already close?
As agreed before, the group prepared to head out for dinner.
Since several people joined for dinner, Tao Zhijie proactively helped Cao Yong by contacting the hotel to change the booked dining room to a larger one.
No news yet of her daughter coming home, Sun Rongfang privately asked her goddaughter, "Lixuan, is Yingying not coming for dinner? Is she eating a meal box at the hospital?"
As a mother, she always worried whether her working daughter had anything to eat.
Wu Lixuan was unclear about this, so she had to turn to ask her boyfriend, "If Yingying is performing surgery, how does she eat?"
A group of surgeons definitely knew about this kind of thing best.
