Chapter 295 Extra 15 My family is pressuring me to get married, can I use you as a shield for now?
I am Tong Yulong, and Tong Yuling and I are twin sisters. After returning from studying abroad in 1985, we were separated! She was assigned to Yanshi, and I was assigned to Jinshi, but we were both military doctors.
This is the first time in our thirty years of life that we have been working and living in two different cities.
I feel a little out of place, like something's missing. Even though we've argued and competed with each other since childhood, our teamwork during surgery is unparalleled!
But since I'm already here, I might as well make the best of it. Going back to Qingshi to see my parents from here will be one stop less than Yuling's route!
My professional skills are quite good, and the hospital values training new talent, so in a very short time I was able to work with other doctors to perform several very successful surgeries and was listed as a key talent for training by the unit.
Because of my high level of education and excellent skills, I was quickly promoted to senior attending physician.
Our workload is very heavy, but fortunately I am a practitioner of ancient martial arts, and my physical strength is beyond that of ordinary people. I can always recover my energy in a very short time.
My work schedule is packed, and sometimes unexpected situations arise that require me to get back to work immediately. As a result, I'm too busy to date.
My colleagues see that I often go alone, and when I have time I either go to my home in Yanshi or go back to my home in Northeast China. They all say that I am aloof and difficult to approach, and no one introduces me to anyone.
When I went home this year, Yuling brought her colleague and new boyfriend, Lu Yunming, back with her, and my parents started pressuring me to get married!
Mother: "Yulong, you're over thirty now. Yuling has even brought her boyfriend home, and Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi have suitors too. Can't you be a little more careful about this?"
Dad: "I have a comrade's child, about your age, who also works in the Public Security Bureau in your city. Want me to introduce you?"
Grandpa: "You're not young anymore, it's time to find someone and get married! Don't worry about being too busy with kids, Grandpa's in good health, I can help you take care of them!"
Grandpa, aren't you tired of taking care of two great-grandchildren? If they were as well-behaved as my eldest sister's, it would be fine, but if they're like a lively monkey like my second sister's, I can't stand it!
Faced with my elders' urging me to get married, I could only nod and agree, saying that I was also keeping an eye out and would definitely make a move if I found the right person!
I just don't understand what my elders are thinking. Why are they rushing me? I'm not stupid. If I find someone suitable, why wouldn't I date and get married? I have to take my time, right? Maybe one day I'll just stumble upon the perfect match and my personal life will be settled!
"Hehe, Grandpa, Dad, Mom, when you have time, please urge Xiao Wu too. She's twenty-seven or twenty-eight now. Don't just worry about me!"
Urging Xiao Wu to get married? They certainly know how to find someone! That "god" is the most carefree!
With her superb martial arts skills, she established a renowned overseas organization called "Fire Phoenix," which owns multiple businesses and sometimes robs the rich to help the poor, but its core business is to eliminate social ills that commit numerous evils!
Xiao Wu spends most of the year at sea, exploring, surveying, and searching for more unknown secrets.
To be honest, I envy Xiao Wu's life, but unfortunately I don't have her abilities or her brains, so I can't manage it!
I'll just enjoy the dividends she gives me every year and live a happy life! Our family is rich!
I have a career I love and ample financial resources, so why should I rush to find a man to settle down with and get bogged down in mundane matters like daily necessities?
So, let the parents worry about finding a partner and getting married; I'm not in a hurry. Of course, I'm not a staunch advocate of remaining single; I'm just waiting—waiting for that "dead rat" that heaven has specially prepared for me!
"Senior, I've been assigned to work under you as an intern. Please take good care of me from now on!"
A young man with clear features, slightly dark skin, and half a head taller than me greeted me in a very friendly manner.
I was a little confused. I didn't remember who this person was, or whether he was a junior from Yanshi University during our sponsored training program, or a junior from when we were studying abroad.
"My name is An Yiping, and I'm from Yanshi Medical University. When I enrolled, the senior students were almost graduating, so you don't remember me. But I do remember you and another senior student..."
The young man explained to her that he had just graduated with a master's degree and had been assigned to work with her, the attending physician. He immediately tried to get close to her and talked a lot, but Tong Yulong's impression of him was just so-so.
"An Yiping, your name has a good meaning! It seems your parents really like you!" If you want a peaceful and stable life, why did you become a doctor? Wanting a peaceful life as a doctor? Isn't that just a dream?
"That's right, I'm the youngest son in the family, so of course I'm the most pampered one! My eldest brother is named An Zhenping, my sister is named An Xinping, and my name is An Yiping!"
Tong Yulong: Why go into so much detail? I don't check household registrations!
"Where did you do your internship? What surgeries did you perform?" I interrupted his rambling and asked him about his work.
"I interned at the affiliated hospital of our university, assisted in several appendectomies as an assistant, and didn't encounter any complicated cases. I also removed sebaceous cysts more than ten times..."
Haha, that's perfectly normal. The affiliated hospital of Yanshi Medical University, where we graduated, is never short of patients, but it also cherishes the hospital's reputation, so newcomers don't have many opportunities to get started.
There are many interns here, as well as doctors sent from various places for training and exchange programs. Newly graduated interns rarely get hands-on opportunities. Getting him to perform appendectomies and sebaceous cyst removals is already quite an achievement.
"So your suturing skills must be pretty good? Since we graduated from the same school, you can get used to it for a couple of days, and then you'll follow me into surgery as a second assistant for two weeks!"
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely study hard, thank you senior!"
"Don't call me 'senior sister,' it sounds like you're forming a clique. Just call me Sister Tong, or simply Tong Yulong!"
"Then I'll call you Sister Yulong. With so many sisters in your family, if you're all together, you won't know which one to call Sister Tong!"
"Oh, so you know I have a lot of sisters?" I thought to myself, if this guy is all talk and no action, I'll kick him out of my group!
The idea of kicking this kid out still hasn't come to fruition. Aside from being a bit energetic, he's quite serious about everything else. The surgical preparations I assigned him were meticulous and thorough, and once inside the operating room, he was quite nimble, keeping up with my pace perfectly.
"Not bad, Xiao Song. You must have trained to be this fast, right?" As a high-level ancient martial artist, I possess a speed that others cannot match. It's not easy to keep up with me!
"I'll find an opportunity, I definitely can't not practice! Please give me more opportunities in the future, senior!" This kid is so opportunistic, he knows how to take advantage of anyone!
I will definitely give them opportunities. Recently, I brought two experienced surgeons from hospitals in other provinces for rotational training. I asked An Yiping to work with them and see how he performs. If he does well, I will arrange for him to perform a few simple surgeries.
