Winter Solstice Chapter 5

　　As he was nearing retirement, after Lu Yan, his mentor Yu Bo never recruited any more eight-year students. In fact, Lu Yan is his youngest sister.

　　For this reason, in terms of work, he did not seldom take care of Lu Yan explicitly or implicitly, and if he was not really busy tonight, he would not have called her temporarily.

　　"Is it really okay?"

　　"Really nothing." Lu Yan smiled and changed the subject, "Right, Brother Huang, what operation next door?"

　　"Gynecology an emergency laparoscopy, but still talking, the patient did not enter the operating room yet."

　　While talking, the respiratory curve on the anesthesia machine showed that the patient was already breathing on her own, Huang Wei couldn't care less about Lu Yan, he was focused on the screen and started to induce resuscitation in earnest.

　　Lu Yan immediately said good-naturedly, "Brother, you're busy, I'll go to the next operating room to prepare."

　　Hearing this, roving nurse Liu Yajuan looked up at Lu Yan: "Dr. Lu, take your time, the gynecology department just called and said that the patient is still hesitating whether to have conservative treatment or surgery, and it is estimated that it will take another hour to send over. Moreover, our sub-shift phone is not yet through-"

　　The sub-shift phone is not working? Lu Yan's pace slowed down, a little surprised.

　　Whether it was a doctor or a nurse, as long as they were on sub-shift that day, they had to be on call twenty-four hours a day, and once they couldn't be contacted, they would definitely be held accountable afterwards.

　　Since she started working, she had never heard of a situation where the phone number of the sub-shift could not be reached.

　　She saw that Liu Yajuan had a difficult look on her face and did not ask too many questions, but just nodded: "Then I'll go to the lounge for a drink of water."

　　When she left the operating room, an assistant nurse in her early twenties came in and said while walking, "Teacher Liu, Mr. Wang's cell phone is still not working, and no one is answering the landline at home."

　　"Still can't get through?" Liu Yajuan made an immediate decision, "Then hurry up and call the second deputy."

　　Lu Yan frowned, there is only one nurse surnamed Wang in the operating room, called Wang Qianqian, a petite, eyebrow-raising, due to introverted personality, usually not much talkative.

　　In her impression, Wang Qianqian is a little timid, work exceptionally serious and responsible, not much like the kind of people who will neglect their duties.

　　After a while, the assistant nurse went and came back: "Teacher Liu, teacher Zhou's phone can get through, she said she will come right away."

　　Liu Yajuan seemed relieved: "That's good."

　　She also lowered her voice and complained, "This Xiao Wang, what is going on tonight."

　　After the long morning shift, every pore of Lu Yan's body was permeated with the word "tired". Last night, in addition to the gynecological laparoscopy, several emergency cases came one after another, and she and her senior brother each took a trainee doctor, one in charge of an operating room, and they didn't close their eyes at all during the whole night.

　　The department has a rule that if she is called to work in the second half of the night, she can take the next day off.

　　So after changing her clothes in the locker room, she said hello to her colleagues and left work to go home.

　　After leaving the hospital's east gate, as usual, she had to pass through the alley, and when she reached the entrance, Lu Yan's steps slowed down unconsciously.

　　At 8:30 in the morning, it was the busiest time of the day, and there were people walking around the alley from time to time, making a lot of noise and clamoring, most of the pedestrians were nearby residents, especially the old retired hospital staff.

　　She smiled back, "Well, I just got off work."

　　When she was talking, she suddenly remembered which book she once read: the sense of fear has a statute of limitations, and what is scary at certain moments may not be worth fearing at all when it comes to the clear sky.

　　She is now standing at the entrance of the alley, also have a similar experience - last night's chills like being poured over the head by ice water no longer exist, only full of frustration.

　　In fact, she also knows, not to mention the same clothes and hairpin, even if the gait and movements are similar, so what? In the end, it can only be attributed to coincidence.

　　After all, when the accident occurred, she personally accompanied her aunt to the hospital to identify the body.

　　When she thought of this, she had a vague pain in her chest and was busy heading home.

　　When she arrived home, she couldn't help but sigh with relief.

　　For her, this little home is the most cozy place in the world, the moment she returns home, there will be a fresh air coming to her face, and then more tiredness will be instantly disintegrated ice.

　　Put down the bag, the first thing is to take a shower.

　　Out of the bathroom, and then to the kitchen to cook noodles.

　　The house is less than seventy square feet, second-hand, she bought from the old retired professor of the hospital a few months ago, a small but complete, is her father who has three marriages to give her the so-called "evening money".

　　Her father had a lifetime of affairs and countless women, and when she was six years old, she moved out of the small two-story building with clear windows after her mother because her parents' relationship broke up.

　　The good thing is that although the father's emotional account is a mess, the economic aspect has never treated the mother and daughter poorly, over the years, never defaulted on alimony, even the cost of Lu Yan's schooling abroad is not at all ambiguous.

　　The first time I heard that Lu Yan had been in the best hospital in the city, Lu's father was happy and gave Lu Yan a sum of money early the next morning.

　　Lu Yan was full of ambition and felt that the road before her was clear and that she alone could take care of her mother's life, and did not want to accept this "gift".

　　She did not want to accept this "gift". She wanted to politely refuse, but was stopped by her mother.

　　"Take it. "The mother glanced at her, her voice was tired, "Just because you follow his surname Lu, why can't you accept this money."

　　Lu Yan looked at her mother, not knowing when her mother's bright young face had crept up with wrinkles.
