Dinner was excellent, without so many fancy dishes, just traditional ho-cooked als, which feel more down-to-earth.
Doudou, the little child, wasn't really interested in their eating and drinking spree. After he was full, he went off to play with Tang Dou's four puppy pals.
By the ti Liu Banxia and the others finished eating, the four puppies were already worn out by Doudou's playfulness.
Don't be fooled by the little guy's small hands and legs; he managed to fully subdue the four puppies.
The puppies were quite carefree; among them, the least aware Beifeng lay under Doudou's little leg and managed to fall asleep.
Tang Dou probably thought his puppies were shaful. He didn't bother with them and let them be. It's too much trouble.
"It's all set for the future. In a year, when six big dogs pull a cart, they'll stroll around the park," Qiu Mingyuan said laughingly while holding one of the pups.
"Absolutely, we will have an automated doggie baby carriage that outshines everyone's," Qiaoqiao said proudly.
"We'll have to train them well when the ti cos. Tang Dou and Tiggie are obedient, but these four are doubtful. They're a bit naughty and always thinking about eating."
"Sis, how long will it take for them to grow as big as Tang Dou?" Qiao Yu asked curiously.
"At least another half year, but when their personalities will settle, who knows? Their dad is already three years old, but like a silly boy, can't compare with Tang Dou. I'm worried they might take after him."
"They won't. We just need to train them more," Liu Banxia reassured.
He's never properly raised a dog, but Alaskan Malamutes are known as the big fools among sled dogs, and that's not without reason. He's also worried his four little fellows might grow up to be unruly.
Really, a dog as obedient and well-behaved as Tang Dou is rare. Even while correcting its posture, it knows you're helping it, and despite the pain, it doesn't struggle.
"When there's a chance, we'll find a bride for Tiggie too," Qiu Mingyuan said.
"If it gives you a bunch of puppies, do you have ti to take care of them?" Liu Banxia said with a laugh.
"Just look at Qiaoqiao; she's already tied up with these four every day. When they grow older, we'll have to take them for spaying or else the park will be a ss."
Qiu Mingyuan imagined it for a mont, shook his head with resignation, and gave up. Thinking about a never-ending lineage of Tiggie's pups, he truly doesn't have the ti to care for them all.
When it cos to pet keeping, Qiu Huaili never interfered with him. Except for one thing: if you want to keep them, you have to care for them yourself.
Tiggie was a special case; he was already grown and very sensible when he arrived, and Doudou liked him even more.
The little child truly loves the four puppies. However, these four chubby pups are currently not very interested in playing; their biggest wish is probably to sleep.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be so round around their waists, with their bellies dragging on the ground.
At that mont, the doorbell rang, surprising everyone. It's quite unusual to have visitors at this ti.
Liu Banxia glanced at the video intercom, "It's Lin Chenglin's family and the Old Chen family from last ti I saved number 3."
They were familiar faces, so he opened the door directly and went out to greet them.
"We saw the lights on and knew everyone was ho. Congratulations, it's terrific news," Lin Chenglin said with a smile.
"Co on in, we just finished dinner," Liu Banxia said.
One sentence was enough to get the ssage across; they were here to offer their congratulations. Coming at this ti ant they calculated it not to interrupt family dinner.
"I say, only a doctor with Liu's skills is qualified to be director," said the father of the Chen family.
"I just got lucky. The hospital wants to cultivate , so they promoted . You've recovered really well; keep it up," Liu Banxia said.
Initially, when he suffered a heart attack, it was Liu Banxia's presence that saved him; he might not have made it before the ambulance arrived. Now, after the surgery, he's recovering well, almost like a normal person, with a robust voice.
Once inside, there was no need to introduce Qiu Huaili and Qiao Xuezhi, so Liu Banxia introduced his parents, and everyone exchanged warm greetings.
With so many people suddenly in the room, Doudou was a bit shy, which highlighted the prowess of Tang Dou and Tiggie.
They were lying on the side initially, but as people ca in, they went straight to Doudou and kept the little one behind them.
This is why so many people love dogs, especially ones with spirit and human-like compatibility. Who wouldn't adore them?
Qiu Mingyuan picked up the little one and placed him on a nearby cushion, even bringing the four puppies over as these were big toys for Doudou.
"Brother Lin, how did you find out?" Qiaoqiao asked curiously.
"I saw the post you shared in your monts, and this is such great news, so I had to co by today. I happened to run into Brother Chen, and we decided to co together," Lin Chenglin said.
"Ah... you didn't need to go to all this trouble. You could've just sent a ssage to say congratulations, and that would've been enough," said Liu Banxia, having just made tea.
"That wouldn't do. You practically saved my life. I had to co in person," Lin Chenglin replied.
"I always think about treating you to a al, but it seems it will be pretty hard now. Since you're a leader now, you'll definitely have a lot of work. By the way, that patient's boyfriend you ntioned last ti was quite impressive."
"To help him work without worry, I hired his girlfriend at our company. Anyway, we needed people, and it works out well."
"It seems really good. Otherwise, her illness could be quite dangerous sotis," Liu Banxia nodded.
Just after Liu Banxia finished speaking, a series of notification sounds ca from his phone.
He glanced at his phone and chuckled, "Did everyone plan this? It's just past nine, and they're all sending ssages."
"You guys chat among yourselves first; it wouldn't be polite not to reply to these ssages. After all, we're neighbors here."
The people from the Lin Family and Chen Family didn't mind, knowing Liu Banxia had quite a few friends.
What they didn't know was that, while those sending ssages were indeed Liu Banxia's friends, most of them were his patients. Although he hadn't shared this news himself, Qiaoqiao did.
Back then, Qiaoqiao had even gone with him to Grandpa Cao's for a al, and along with Yanzi's group and the gym crowd, the number beca considerable.
So today, it seed like everyone was in on it, like celebrating the New Year, sending ssages right on ti. They were worried he'd be too busy and didn't want to take up too much of his ti.
These were well wishes from his patients. They were familiar faces, and Liu Banxia replied earnestly to each one. Because there were quite a few, it took him over twenty minutes to finish.
"Who sent them?" Qiaoqiao asked curiously.
"Just the people we know, Grandpa Cao even ntioned coming over for so hot pot when we have ti," Liu Banxia said with a smile.
"Manager Qu also said that since you're resting now, they won't disturb you for a while. But when the baby is born, we have to inform them imdiately because the martial arts school wants to celebrate as well."
"Hehe, definitely," said Qiaoqiao happily.
"Banxia, are they all your patients?" Lin Chenglin asked, curious.
"More or less, so are just friends," replied Liu Banxia.
Lin Chenglin gave a thumbs up, "Amazing, just amazing. Patients who rember their doctors are always the best ones."
"Yes, Dr. Liu is always calm and composed," added a brother from the Chen Family.
"When my father got sick last ti, I was completely lost. When Dr. Liu spoke, it was like grabbing a lifeline."
"Brother Chen, you're too kind. In such situations, any doctor wouldn't just stand by," said Liu Banxia.
"Sotis, there are just too many patients in the hospital, and we have to rush, so so patients feel the doctor's attitude isn't good, like they're being brushed off."
"Either way, when I'm not feeling well, I'll go to your hospital to find you. I don't trust others as much," said Brother Chen.
"It's best if you don't need to find at all; chatting at ho is nice too," Liu Banxia joked.
Everyone laughed; going to the hospital isn't good, chatting at ho ans everyone is well.
Listening to their conversation, Liu Qingdong and his wife were just as happy as Qiaoqiao.
They knew their son had achieved sothing, but they didn't expect it to be like this. Not even in their wildest dreams.
With the barrage of ssage notifications and these two families visiting personally, their son has truly helped a lot of people recently.
Golden and silver cups can't beat word of mouth. What little Lin said is true, doctors rembered by their patients are certainly excellent. When they get ho, they can brag about their son again.
Though Liu Banxia hasn't returned to his hotown for a while, his reputation there is significant. This isn't just because he was featured in the news, but also due to the promotions done by his "Third Aunt" during her holiday.
Liu Qingdong could now hold his head high; no one could bring up the past scam. Luckily for that scam, their son couldn't have achieved so much otherwise.
Wishing their son success, no matter Liu Banxia's dical prowess is now, in their hearts, he is already a dragon.
A very simple thought, no fault in being proud of one's son.
Coming today was right, even though it was a bit rushed, they wouldn't have wanted to miss such excitent otherwise.
