Chapter 1319: Chapter 1319: Focused Learning

"To be fair, although Xu Yino took a bit longer on this surgery, the quality is guaranteed."

After Xu Yino’s surgery ended, Liu Banxia earnestly praised her.

"Sigh... I’m still far from my goal. I originally thought I’d finish in three and a half hours, but it’s been over four hours."

"There were no adhesions inside the abdominal cavity, just a routine surgery, so why did it take me half an hour more? What’s the difference?"

"There’s nothing different; it’s just that you’re not familiar enough yet," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Take your time, don’t rush. I told you before, even in our general surgery department, you should have a focus area by now."

"Here, I must praise Liu Yiqing. Though she seems a bit silly, her goals are clear. She’s already spending a lot of time on liver surgeries, unlike some other youngsters."

Those "other youngsters" included Xu Yino and the remaining five of them.

For them, they still want to think it over, which takes a lot of their energy.

"Hehe, Teacher Liu, actually my attitude is clear too; otherwise, I wouldn’t have strived to do this surgery, right?" Xu Yino said with a grin.

"So you’ve decided, right? No regrets, because someone else will take the priority for liver transplant surgery assistance," Liu Banxia said.

"No regrets, really no regrets. It’s just a matter of timing. This year I’ll focus on mastering colorectal cancer surgeries, next year I’ll study liver and gallbladder, and the year after that, I’ll research the pancreas."

"Well, that’s none of my business. Anyway, the more difficult abdominal surgeries are limited," Liu Banxia said.

"And my suggestion for you is not about a single surgery, but surgeries related to an organ. This is also a category, and you’ll need to be thoroughly familiar with the anatomy of that organ."

"Young comrades, there’s no category of surgery that’s simple. Reaching a high level of mastery is quite challenging."

Xu Yino stuck out her tongue, but she was determined not to be swayed by Liu Banxia.

Because there’s also the NOSES surgery involved.

Currently, Liu Banxia’s NOSES surgeries focus on colorectal cancer patients, which is a decision Xu Yino made after much consideration. Otherwise, trying to master everything like Liu Banxia is impossible, really impossible.

Actually, Liu Banxia wasn’t bluffing; it was an important matter he had to reaffirm.

That’s why he now lets the six of them choose surgeries one by one, initially in a "semi-coercive" manner, but later with some preference.

He knows from his intensive practice in the dream space just how difficult it is to master these surgeries.

As a guiding teacher, he also needs to remind the six of them.

Only the "silly" Liu Yiqing took it to heart. The remaining five are slightly ambitious and want to learn more.

Their growth in the near future is crucial. You could say the next two to three years are their golden period. Without systematic help, they need to rely on time to make up for it.

Xu Yino took on the responsibility of escorting the patient back to the ward. She also personally explained the key points of care to the family.

"It seems you all are really excellent; I haven’t eaten in vain," Wang Chao said with a chuckle as they returned.

"Do more surgeries in the future, and your time will improve. This patient was a bit overweight; otherwise, it could have been faster," Liu Banxia said.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll head out first, but I miss my daughter and son so much. We’re having braised meat at home tonight, and I have two surgeries to complete tomorrow," Liu Banxia said.

"Okay, nothing much," Wang Chao nodded.

Liu Banxia clocked out cheerfully and headed home.

He often stayed overnight at the hospital, but since he was mentally prepared, he was okay with not seeing his kids for a day.

But yesterday was different; it was an unexpected situation, and he couldn’t leave work.

He had to take responsibility for his patients and couldn’t pass them off to Zhou Shuwen.

Now he couldn’t wait to get home, wishing the cars ahead would magically disappear.

As soon as he got home, the first to greet him was the Tang Dou family.

This year had been good for their family, especially their four pups, who had noticeably grown thicker.

They ate and slept all day, playing foolishly. Only when they were stuffed would they stop eating; how could they not get fat?

"I thought you weren’t coming back today," Qiaoqiao said with a smile.

"Xu Yino was the lead surgeon for a procedure this afternoon, took a bit longer than expected. Soon, the six of them will just have to try going solo, sometimes they’ll come back late," Liu Banxia casually mentioned.

"But once they all manage to get through it, it’ll be great, I won’t be so tired. Although it’s a bit of a premature training now, they should be able to handle it."

"Oh... I always feel they’re a bunch of little darlings, hurry up and wash your hands for dinner," Qiaoqiao said.

"But don’t go bother the two little ones, they just fell asleep. Let them nap for a bit, they’re always so mischievous these days. It’s exhausting looking after them, not even a crowd is enough."

Liu Banxia naturally nodded in agreement.

Though agreeing was one thing, he still felt the need to go over for a peek. At most, he’d control his hands, just avoid disturbing the two young ones.

Both were in the traditional surrender style of sleep, snoozing deeply. It definitely took all of Liu Banxia’s willpower not to go over and touch them.

The smell of the food wafted over, causing Liu Banxia’s mouth to water, eagerly trotting over.

"Didn’t you say they’re supposed to be on break? Why are they still working?"

After reaching the dining table, Qiaoqiao casually asked.

"There’s a liver transplant going on, they wanted to get the experience, so their vacation got pushed back," Liu Banxia said.

"Of course they must get their break, otherwise working long hours without any downtime is not something they can handle."

"Whether they want to or not, they’ll have to take a break. Eh? What’s up with Yanzi and Qing Kewa? Wasn’t Yanzi supposed to return yesterday?"

"Hehe, guess where they went," Qiaoqiao said with a sly smile.

"How am I supposed to guess, went to eat something tasty? The only thing that would get Qing Kewa excited is food," Liu Banxia said.

"Yanzi went on a blind date, Qing Kewa tagged along to enjoy the spectacles. If it weren’t for these two little ones, I would have joined in the fun," Qiaoqiao said regretfully.

"Seems like it was a relative of Yanzi’s who made the introduction, but who knows if the two girls will make the guy nervous?"

"Tsk tsk, that’s a tough call," Liu Banxia sighed.

"These two girls are quite the handful, hopefully they don’t scare the guy away. Although the situation is somewhat unusual, as long as they don’t get mistaken for grabbing free meals, we’re good."

"Haha, that’s not likely to happen, Yanzi said she would be picking up the tab today," Qiaoqiao laughed.

"Worried about that too, since it’s a family connection, there’s a bond. However, she usually doesn’t click with these setups."

"Honestly, she should just settle down. When you have time, you should advise her more, what’s the good of living alone anyhow." Peng Xiuqin chimed in.

"Mom, it’s not that Yanzi doesn’t want to get married, it’s just she hasn’t met anyone who truly connects with her yet. Her standards are pretty high," Qiaoqiao said.

"She doesn’t really care if the guy’s family has money or not. The key is how the guy treats her and whether he has ambition, otherwise if a guy isn’t striving for anything, not considering his responsibilities, marrying him would just be asking for trouble."

"That’s actually quite right, men are afraid of choosing the wrong profession, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. Sometimes suffering a little in life isn’t much, as long as lives can still be lived together," Peng Xiuqin nodded.

"If you end up with someone who gets violent, life becomes even more miserable. We have such cases in our town, where in the end, the family doesn’t even resemble a family."

"In our hospital, similar cases are even more common; we’ve filed many reports. It’s just some people with impossible mindsets, those such people need to be properly dealt with," Liu Banxia said.

"When we find them in our hospital, we make sure there’s some action taken, especially Xu Yino and Liu Yiqing, those two girls are bursting with justice."

Just as Liu Banxia finished speaking, his precious eldest daughter started crying.

His reaction was swift, dropping his bowl and dashing over immediately.

No matter why she’s crying, now awake, time to play with her for a while.

"Seriously, finish your meal before heading over. This must be one of those bored wake-up cries, maybe she heard us chatting," Qiaoqiao muttered.

"He’s just too fond of these two kids. But raising them will definitely be tiring in the future, they’re not your steady kind," Peng Xiuqin said with a laugh.

"No big deal, got to train them from a young age. Especially these two little characters, sometimes the more you fuss over them, the more intense their crying. Leave them be, they’ll tire themselves out and sleep," Qiaoqiao said.

"You say that now, but when they’re really crying it pulls at your heartstrings too," Peng Xiuqin replied.

"Once they’re a year old, I can help look after them a bit. But when they get older, it might become challenging. Teaching them to study, I might not be much help then."

"Mom, it’s alright, when it comes to studying it’ll depend on their natural ability. If they’re not cut out for it, worrying will be pointless," Qiaoqiao said.

Peng Xiuqin actually wanted them to pay more attention to the kids’ studies, but upon consideration, decided to leave it unsaid.

She surely wouldn’t have the energy to care for the two little ones, and by then Liu Banxia and Qiaoqiao wouldn’t actually let them grow up completely freely either. Talk about that when the time comes.
