“You don’t have to bring so many gifts,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“I just brought some small gifts to wish you a happy new year,” Sun Yunsheng said,
They were actually not small at all . He had carried in many packages . At first glance, it was obvious they were probably high-end items .
“Are they expensive?” Zhang Xiuying asked .
“They are not expensive . They are for you and uncle,” Sun Yunsheng said . “Did Dr . Wang go out?”
“He is at the clinic,” Zhang Xiuying said .
After chatting with Zhang Xiuying, Sun Yunsheng left .
Wang Yao did some cleaning in the clinic . In fact, the clinic was already very clean, but he carefully cleaned it up again . The morning passed quickly . When he went home at noon, he saw the gifts in the house .
“Who has been here?” Wang Yao asked .
“Sun Yunsheng bought by him . He brought so much,” his mother replied .
Wang Yao smiled . “Didn’t he say anything else?”
“No,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“Well, what else do I need to do?” Wang Yao asked .
“You just need to clean up for lunch,” Zhang Xiuying said .
After lunch, while the family was chatting at home, a guest arrived .
“Tian Brother, please come in,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“I came here to wish you and uncle a happy new year, and I also come for you,” Tian Yuan said as he looked at Wang Yao .
“You are fat . ” Wang Yao smiled .
“Well, yes . Things in the company are going very well . I have already signed a contract with a management team . In the future, I don’t have to manage so much except for the major things at the decision-making level,” Tian Yuan said . When the burden on his body was removed, he had felt entirely relaxed . “Have you been very busy?”
“I was busy some time ago . Recently, I have had more leisure time,” Wang Yao said .
Toward the end of the year, people were busy .
Tian Yuantu stayed for a short while and left . He still had many other places to visit . Apart from his parents, Wang Yao was his first stop . This indicated the position Wang Yao held in his mind .
In the afternoon, Wang Yao did not go to the clinic . Instead, he helped at home, mainly to deal with some new year goods .
The next morning, Wang Yao was still in the clinic, but there were many guests visiting at his home .
Soon, Wei Hai approached by car . It was the same Land Rover he often drove . This time, it was followed by a pickup truck . The back of the truck was full . There were two strong men accompanying him .
“Come on, unload the truck,” Wei Hai said .
“What is it?” Zhang Xiuying felt a little cold .
“Auntie, these are my gifts to you and uncle . Is it fresh seafood,” Wei Hai said .
Looking at the boxes, Zhang Xiuying did not know how to respond . She knew Wei Hai . “The seafood… Please wait… Why are there living fish in the bucket?”
“Where is Wang Yao?” Wei Hai asked .
“He is in the clinic,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“Well, I don’t want to bother you and my uncle much then,” Wei Hai said .
After everything was unloaded, he left . He went to the clinic and chatted with Wang Yao for a while .
When they were chatting, another person came to Wang Yao’s house . Dr . Feng had driven from Zhu . He then took gifts to Wang Yao’s clinic and had a few words with him . Wang Yao gave him a follow-up check and asked him to come back to take medicine in a day or two .
As Wang Yao was speaking, his family called him to come back . Another guest had paid a visit to his home again .
“You are busy . Let’s get together again soon,” Wei Hai said .
“Good, thanks,” Wang Yao said . He then returned home .
“I told aunt that I didn’t want to bother you,” Chen Boyuan said .
“Look . ” Zhang Xiuying pointed at all the things he had brought from Jing . It was mostly edibles, which were supposed to be special products .
Chen Boyuan had come from far away to deliver the gifts . As the saying went, a small gift like goose feathers sent from thousands of miles away could convey great affection .
“Thank you,” Wang Yao said .
It was inappropriate to not return a gift when receive gifts from guests . However, Wang Yao didn’t have any suitable gifts to return . He couldn’t send them drugs as gifts when they were not sick . That was too unlucky .
After staying and chatting a while, Chen Boyuan left .
For the whole morning, many people came to Wang Yao’s home and left . All of them came by car filled with gifts .
“What is Xiaoyao doing? It’s like he’s a county magistrate or something,” a villager said .
“Nonsense,” another villager said . “The gifts to a county magistrate are not allowed to be delivered in daylight . They all came in the daytime, which is frank and righteous . They are probably all people who saw him for treatment and have come to thank him . ”
“But, these people are so rich . How many gifts did they give?” a villager asked .
They were talking a lot about this matter . In fact, it was none of their business . Some people were envious, and some were jealous . But, they were all idle and had nothing to do .
Wang Yao’s family had to specially dedicate a room for storing the gifts .
“How do you deal with this seafood?” Zhang Xiuying looked at the fresh seafood sent by Wei Hai .
“We will have a seafood luncheon . ” Wang Yao smiled . “But, we can’t eat so much . I am afraid they will decay if they are stored for long . ”
A considerable portion of them were fresh, so it would be too bad if they went rotten after storing for long .
“Ask you third aunt and your uncle to come to take some,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“Well, you can manage them,” Wang Yao said .
“Give me a hand . We will eat the seafood for dinner,” Zhang Xiuying said .
These fish Wei Hai sent were basically wild . He had specially selected them, so they were green and safe .
Wang Yao helped to deal with the fish, shrimps and crabs .
“Have your sister come back,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“I will call her,” Wang Yao said .
Wang Ru and Du Mingyang came back for the meal and brought something with them .
“Don’t bring anything again,” Zhang Xiuying said . She wasn’t trying to be impolite . Truthfully, there was too much stuff in the room .
“Hey, Mom, why do we have so much seafood?” Wang Ru asked after seeing the fresh fish and shrimps in the yard . “You bought it?
“No, Xiaoyao’s friend sent them by a full car,” Zhang Xiuying replied .
“Ah, who are they? They are so rich?” Wang Ru was surprised .
“How good my brother-in-law is!” Du Mingyang smiled at the side .
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Wang Ru said . “Get some condiment sauce . It is time to eat . ”
The family enjoyed the seafood and good wine, both of which filled the table .
Du Mingyang accompanied Wang Fenghua in having two cups of wine .
“You can’t drink much . You have to go to work in the afternoon,” Wang Ru whispered .
“No worries, I can drink as long as uncle is happy . Or, I could take the afternoon off . ” Du Mingyang smiled .
The whole family was very happy and chatted while eating . After the meal, when Wang Ru took things from the inner room, she saw the piles of gifts . She walked forward to have a look . “Goodness! They can’t be cheap!”
“Mom, who bought the gifts in the inner room?” she whispered to her mother after she came out .
“Buy? They were are all sent,” Zhang Xiuying said
“By whom?” Wang Ru asked .
“Friends and patients of your brother,” Zhang Xiuying said happily . She was quite proud of her son .
“Xiaoyao?” Wang Ru was surprised .
“Yes, the gifts from today were the most,” Zhang Xiuying said . “They all came by car . ”
Wang Ru was absent-minded for a long time . She then said, “How good of a doctor is he? Look at the gifts in the room . We do not have to buy any goods for the new year!”
“By the way, when you visit Du Mingyang’s family, you don’t have to buy anything,” Zhang Xiuying said . “Just take a few gifts from home because we can’t use them up . And, tellDu Mingyang that you don’t have to spend money when you come back . You have your life . It’s not easy to earn money . ”
“I think it is easy for Xiaoyao to make money,” Wang Ru said .
“You are different,” her mother said .
“Yes!” Wang Ru sighed .
In the afternoon, Wang Ru and Du Mingyang did not go to work . The family was playing poker around the table . At 2 p . m . , there was another guest, Pan Juan . He also came with a gift .
“Hello, master, uncle, and aunt! I have come to wish you a happy new year,” Pan Juan said .
“Come in, come in!” Zhang Xiuying smiled .
“Are you not on duty today?” Wang Yao asked .
“Well, I just got off work,” Pan Jun said . He looked a little tired .
“You don’t look good . Haven’t you had a good rest recently?” Wang Yao asked .
“Not really . There have recently been a lot of patients in the emergency department,” Pan Jun replied .
“What types of the patients?” Wang Yao asked .
“A lot of them have gastrointestinal discomfort,” Pan Jun said . “Since the holiday started, many friends and relatives get together to overeat, drink, and have meat . ”
