265 Buying a House (2/2)

Doctor Dan could not help but think about the price of houses in Yun Hua, the price of villas in Great Sealed Bivouac, and the fact that those villas came with a few hectares of land. Even his gallbladder shuddered at the thought of this.

Doctor Dan suddenly thought of something and said, ”Why don't we do this? I'll take her blood pressure and heart rate again…”

Five minutes later, Doctor Dan quietly left the ward and said to Lu Wenbin, ”Transfer the patient to our department.”

Lu Wenbin naturally did as he said.

The words emergency in Emergency Department and acute as in acute cholecystitis denote a sense of urgency, but that did not mean that doctors in the Emergency Department would need to perform this surgery. At least so far, none of the doctors in the Emergency Department of Yun Hua Hospital was interested in treating cholecystitis. Besides, other than doctors like Ling Ran, ordinary emergency medical specialists did not have the desire to scramble for surgeries with other specialist departments.

A doctor often needed to participate in a few hundred surgeries to master a new surgical method, and this would take ordinary doctors three or four years. It could be said to be a relatively major change in direction in their medical life.

Ling Ran watched as Lu Wenbin signed the patient transfer form and countersigned it. He then stared at the vacant bed in a daze.

”Don't tell me that you want to discover some other illnesses in the other patients and transfer them to other departments,” Lu Wenbin said in a dark tone.

Ling Ran chuckled. ”That's quite impossible, isn't it?”

”This was what you decided on, right?” Lu Wenbin's lips twitched, and he said solemnly, ”Doctor Ling, the main point of this matter is that you shouldn't have had that thought, to begin with, isn't it?”

”What's wrong with examining our own patients and discovering their hidden illnesses?” Ling Ran answered Lu Wenbin's question with a question.

Lu Wenbin's brain stopped working for a few seconds. ”I was almost convinced by you.”

Ling Ran said, ”Logic is never wrong.”

”So, are we doing internal medicine diagnosis as our part-time job now?” Lu Wenbin heaved a loud sigh. He grabbed Ling Ran's arm and said as they walked out of the ward area, ”Doctor Ling, I'm just saying, but other than operating on patients, don't you want to do something else?”

”Such as?”

”Buy a house of your own?” Lu Wenbin could not help but smile as he said this. ”You have actually earned quite a lot of money from surgery fees. You just need to add a bit more to it to be able to afford the down payment of a house. I'm just saying, but women nowadays want their boyfriends to have cars and houses by the time they get married. It's even worse when it comes to blind dates. If you don't have a car and a house, people won't even want to introduce you to their daughters. Anyway, it wouldn't do…”

Ling Ran hummed in acknowledgment and did not really react to what Lu Wenbin had just said.

”Hey, Doctor Ling, don't dismiss this matter. It's very important to buy a house. Even though your family has a house now, you can't just stay at home with your wife after you get married, right? Girls nowadays are very picky. All of them don't want to stay with their mothers-in-law. You'll have to buy a house in the end, so why don't you buy one earlier? It'll take a lot of pressure off you to buy a house earlier because a few years later, you would have paid off quite a large chunk of a loan.” Lu Wenbin looked at Ling Ran, and his gaze sparkled.

Ling Ran hummed in acknowledgment again, but he still did not really react to what Lu Wenbin had just said.

Lu Wenbin could not hold it in anymore, and after walking quietly for a while, he said, ”Doctor Ling, I plan to pay the down payment and buy a secondhand house in front of our hospital. Do you want to go and take a look with me?”

Ling Ran finally realized what Lu Wenbin was trying to say. He asked, ”You're buying a house?”

”Yeah, I've just accumulated money for the down payment.” Lu Wenbin flashed a big smile and said, ”Houses are not only for you to live in. It'll also come in handy after you get married when your kids go to school…”

”Hi, Doctor Ling.”

”Doctor Ling, we bought a really huge prawn today. What time will you be going to the canteen? We'll ask the chef to cook it for you.”

”It's a fifteen-inch tiger prawn, an extremely beautiful one.”

The young nurses who were walking head-on towards them smiled as they waved and extended their fair arms to gesture how long and fat the tiger prawn was.

As Lu Wenbin looked at their gestures and fell helplessly silent.

At this moment, Ling Ran said, ”I plan to carry out surgeries in the afternoon and will just drink some milk. I'll eat the prawns at night.”

”No problem, we'll ask the chef to slowly thaw the prawn then.” The two nurses waved and left happily.

”Could you send a box of pine nuts to the nurses' station on my behalf?” Ling Ran asked Lu Wenbin offhandedly.

Lu Wenbin lowered his head and muttered, ”I'm already buying a house. Why do I still have to be the middleman for this sort of transaction…?”
