I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 561 Extra (Xia Qingdai Chapter 3)

Xia Guoqiang sat on a bench in the park, looking at the children chasing and playing among the green trees and grass, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, Old Xia, have you finished the operation? Isn't it painful? Can you walk by yourself?" An old man in a wheelchair was pushed over here.

The old man's name is Chen Fuguo. He and Xia Guoqiang have been neighbors for many years and they both suffer from intrahepatic bile duct stones.

Originally, I wanted to buy the scalper number of Eucommia ulmoides just like Xia Guoqiang.

But his son, who had settled down in a first-tier city, did not trust the skills of the young doctor in Jiangcheng, and spent money to get him an appointment with a well-known hepatobiliary surgeon in Haicheng, and waited in line for the operation.

He had the surgery two days earlier than Xia Guoqiang, but now he is still unable to walk, while Xia Guoqiang doesn't even need crutches.

Xia Guoqiang saw Chen Fuguo sitting in a wheelchair and subconsciously touched his waist. He didn't feel any pain, so he replied proudly: "It doesn't hurt anymore, but the wound is a little itchy."

"Hiss~" Chen Fuguo looked envious and unbelieving, "How did you recover so quickly?"

His fellow patients in the same ward at Haicheng Hospital were all in terrible pain after the operation, and none of them recovered as quickly as Xia Guoqiang.

"Ah, I'm recovering well indeed."

"When did you stop feeling pain?"

"I just finished the surgery and was anesthetized. I felt a little pain in the ICU for a while, but then I was fine."

"Does it really not hurt at all now?" Chen Guofu's expression became a little resentful, and he looked at his old neighbor in front of him expectantly.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Xia Guoqiang asked him, "Why are you still sitting in a wheelchair? Is it still painful?"

"Haha." Chen Guofu didn't want to answer.

He went to Haicheng for the surgery, but now his recovery is not as good as that of Old Xia, who is older than him.

So the surgeon’s skills can really be felt in every aspect from the moment he or she walks out of the operating room - especially the patient himself or herself.

Xia Guoqiang looked at Chen Guofu's face and stroked his beard happily: "Hey, I told you that you don't have to go out. The medical care in Jiangcheng is not bad now, and my grandson-in-law's skills are even better!"

After saying that, he gave a thumbs up, his expression full of pride.

"Grandson-in-law?" Chen Guofu immediately grasped the key point.

"Yeah!" Xia Guoqiang straightened his back and talked nonstop, "He's from my second son's family. He sacrificed his life for the country 20 years ago. Now his grandson has also contributed to the country and won several first-class merits. His granddaughter is the last disciple of an academician. That Doctor Du is her boyfriend, also a last disciple of an academician."

Although Xia Qingdai and her brother do not recognize Xia's relatives, including the old couple, it does not prevent Xia Guoqiang from being proud of them.

He has decided to make a will, and the house he lives in now will be left to Xia Qingdai and her brother, as compensation for the second brother.

Xia Guofu always felt that his prognosis after the operation was so good, it must be because of his granddaughter's warning. Even though she said she didn't recognize him, didn't she still perform the operation on him with all her heart?
Even the red envelope given to him before the operation was transferred back into his account to offset the medical expenses.

Xia Qingdai naturally soon learned that Du Zhong had finally taken in her grandfather, who had severed his relationship with her, as a patient.

Even if Du Zhong didn't say anything, other people in the hospital would have discussed it. Aunt Xia had already made the relationship known to everyone in the hospital, and it was hard to ignore it. But since Du Zhong didn't say anything, Xia Qingdai didn't mention it specifically. In the end, it was just a grandfather with whom she had never established a family relationship. To her, he was no different from a stranger.

After performing surgery on Xia Guofu, it was almost Christmas, so Du Zhong took himself a short vacation.

With his crazy enthusiasm for surgeries, no one could say anything if he wanted to take a vacation. He performed more surgeries in half a year than others did in a whole year. What's more, the department director was his direct senior brother, so he didn't hesitate.

Another person who is treated favorably by the department like Du Zhong is Xia Qingdai. As the little darling of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is not difficult for her to take leave.

The two of them took leave at this time to go to the UK to celebrate Christmas.

Xia Shanglu was actually not very willing to do so. How could he feel at ease if his sister went traveling with a man, and even went abroad?
As long as his sister hasn't gotten married, he will keep a close eye on her!
But ever since he awakened his talent for criminal investigation, he has become very busy. It is common for him to go on business trips as an external aid. He simply cannot take more than ten days off to keep an eye on his sister, so he had no choice but to agree.

Of course, even if he disagreed, it would be useless because Xia Qingdai was determined to go to England with Du Zhong.

Xia Shanglu could only sigh: My sister has grown up and I can’t control her anymore.

Xia Qingdai and Du Zhong took a private plane to the UK, so the long journey was not difficult to endure. They had a big meal on the plane, had a good sleep, and woke up to the airport.

After getting off the passenger plane, the two changed to a helicopter and flew directly to Fucui Villa.

On the top of the Fucui Villa Castle, there is a renovated small helipad.

As soon as Xia Qingdai stepped onto the grounds of the ancient castle, she said with emotion: "It's been more than 230 years, and it doesn't look like there have been that many changes here."

Upon hearing this, Du Zhong just smiled slightly and did not respond.

At this moment, he felt the same emotions as Xia Qingdai, but he thought more and said less.

"You know what? I came here with my brother a few years ago. We went to Paris to watch the Olympics and visited the UK."

Xia Qingdai took Du Zhong to the railing and pointed to the back garden excitedly as she spoke: "The garden here is the same as it was a few years ago. We were not able to come in to visit at that time, so we just wandered around the gardens in the front and back yards.

Oh, by the way, there is an iron gate in the backyard, which is connected to the Chinatown that I manually renovated before, but the houses are not the original houses. Were those Chinese-style buildings built by you later?"

Having said this, Xia Qingdai tilted her head and looked at Du Zhong.

Du Zhong recalled for a moment, then smiled and said, "I guess so. I made some arrangements."

"Tell me about the eighteenth century. I'm actually quite curious. I've been waiting for you to tell me, but you've been very determined and never mentioned it. Tell me about it right here." Xia Qingdai smiled at him mischievously, "Oh, by the way, I'll call you Owen here, okay?"

When Du Zhong heard the word "Owen", his eyes sparkled slightly and he nodded slightly: "As long as you are happy."

"Haha, then it's settled. Little Owen, go ahead and speak!" Xia Qingdai tilted her head, looking as if she was listening attentively.

Du Zhong, oh no, Owen grabbed her waist and whispered in her ear: "I've always wanted to ask, where am I small, why do you want to call me little Owen?"

“Ahahaha, it’s so itchy!” Xia Qingdai shrank her ears because of the itch and wanted to hide away, but she found that the embrace was too tight and there was no way to hide, so she shouted obediently, “Not small, not small, you are not small at all!”

Who can say that a 1.9-meter-tall person is small!
