"The surgery was very successful. He’s fine now and will be transferred back to the ward soon," said Su Zhan. "However, he’s getting on in years, so recovery might not be that quick. Also, he shouldn’t be doing any heavy work in the future."
"He needs to be well taken care of," emphasized Su Zhan.
"Yes, yes, yes," Hao Lianlian said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Doctor Su."
"He shouldn’t go back to work anymore," Hao Lianlian said, wiping her tears. "Can we go see him now?"
"You can," Su Zhan replied. "No need to be so formal, we’re all family."
Family?
Hao Lianlian blushed.
Su Ziqiao secretly gave his second brother a thumbs up. That was a nice assist. Looks like the card for Taoran Inn and the meals sent every day weren’t for nothing.
He’d instruct them to put in more effort from now on.
Old Man Hao had been moved back to the ward, but because of the anesthesia, he hadn’t woken up yet.
"You guys stay here; I’ll go buy some things we need here," Su Ziqiao said.
At this point, he had fully assumed the role of the grandson-in-law.
These things were his responsibility to handle.
Not only with money but also with effort.
Hao Lianlian wanted to say something, but Gu Lingling stopped her, "Let him go."
"Yes, just think of it as help between ordinary friends," Su Ziqiao said. "No need to feel pressured."
"Thank you," Hao Lianlian said.
It wasn’t that she was being pretentious.
It seemed like apart from saying thank you, she didn’t know what else to say to him.
Su Ziqiao waved his hand and went out to ask the nurse what things needed to be prepared.
Hao Lianlian sat by the bed, looking at her sleeping grandfather, not knowing what to say.
"It’s our fault," one of the people from the factory said with his head down. "Before we came, the plant manager already said that no matter how much it costs, the factory would cover it."
Of course, the person responsible for the violation had been punished.
Hao Lianlian didn’t say a word.
The factory people felt a bit awkward, but they understood. Who wouldn’t be angry over something like this?
If it were them, they might have made an even bigger fuss.
But they couldn’t all stay here, "Since Uncle Hao has already had the surgery, we’ll go back first. If you need anything here, we’ll leave someone to help. What do you think?"
"You know, it’s quite busy in the factory right now..." the person said with some difficulty.
"I understand," Hao Lianlian said. "You can all go back, thank you."
The person quickly said it was no problem.
"These are the funds the plant manager gave before we came; you should take them first," the person said. "I’ve already paid for the old man’s surgery and everything."
"Thank you," Hao Lianlian said.
In this regard, the transformer factory handled it quite well.
At least during Wang Shuosheng’s time as plant manager, it was like this.
Two years after Wang Shuosheng left the transformer factory, things began to change.
The past glory was no more.
But those are stories for another time.
Su Ziqiao not only bought the things needed for the hospital but also called Taoran Inn, asking them to deliver meals for them along with the ones for Su Zhan.
When he returned, his hands full and things hanging all over him, he was as comically overloaded as one could be.
"You bought so many things?" Gu Lingling was quite surprised.
"We’ll need them anyway," Su Ziqiao said indifferently. "Has the old man not woken up yet? I’ve arranged for some food to be sent over; we can make do with it for now."
