"Hehe, even though it’s a new surgery, why doesn’t it feel as exhilarating as watching new surgeries did before? It feels like everything is just as it should be." Xu Yino said with a smile.

"This means you all have gained enough confidence, and it’s also because you’ve gotten familiar enough with some structures inside the abdomen." Liu Banxia said.

"This ensures that when you encounter new problems, you won’t panic and can handle them properly and correctly. Even if it’s a new surgery, once the information is checked, you can feel reassured."

"Remember how you used to feel? Even after reviewing materials and watching surgery videos, didn’t you still feel quite anxious?"

The few of them thought about it and nodded.

It seems like that’s exactly it; they didn’t know when it started, but their confidence has gradually built up. They hadn’t noticed it before, but suddenly, it felt less daunting.

At this point, the patient slowly woke up, and Liu Banxia nodded at him, "Just a few more days of discomfort, and then you can be discharged."

The patient’s expression was quite calm; he was indeed an open-hearted person, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so relaxed before the surgery.

"The surgery was very successful, but when you return to the ward, pay a bit more attention," Liu Banxia said as he stepped outside.

"Some basic procedures will be explained by the nurses. After anaesthesia, there might be some reflux, burping, and pain, which are all normal symptoms."

"And you’ll need to keep a record of his bowel movements tomorrow. If you find signs of constipation, we need to administer some laxatives. Constipation can easily lead to hernia recurrence, which would mean more discomfort."

"Director Liu, what about eating when he goes back?" the patient’s wife asked.

"With eating, you’ll have to wait a bit. You see this tube? It’s for stomach decompression. You need to watch, and when he starts passing gas, then you can remove this tube and start with liquids."

"Initially, the focus will be on liquid meals; when ordering meals from our canteen, you can inform them to choose suitable liquid foods. Things like noodles, cat’s ears pasta, millet porridge should be fine. Don’t worry about this."

"Alright, thank you, Director Liu. Once this surgery is done, will he be alright? Are all the things in his stomach back to where they should be?" The patient’s wife still had some concerns.

Liu Banxia nodded with a smile, "His stomach was a bit restless, so we had to fix it. You don’t need to worry about that. Go ahead and take him back."

Only then did the patient’s wife feel truly reassured; after all, she didn’t understand much about this, so she asked whatever came to mind.

"Xu Yino, take a look in the ward later. I have to hurry back home now. Qing Kewa is leaving tomorrow, and I still need to prepare something tonight," Liu Banxia said.

"Teacher Liu, please give our regards to Qing Kewa. We couldn’t help it; we’ve been here so long and didn’t have much time to gather." Xu Yino said.

"That’s quite alright; it’s not like I don’t know you’ve been having gatherings at Langtaosha," Liu Banxia said.

"Hehe, the Master allowed it, so we must make the most of it," Xu Yino said earnestly.

Liu Banxia waved his hand.

He didn’t need to worry about the rest; another late day at work meant he had to rush home.

He also knew that the ’six little ones’ would definitely have a good celebration tonight.

They formed a little circle of their own, and today, with Liu Yiqing and Huang Bo achieving such great results, it would be surprising not to celebrate.

However, he wouldn’t intervene in such matters; everyone coming to the emergency center and learning medical skills with him naturally made them a bit closer.

As he got into the car, he pressed the gas pedal a bit deeper.

There wasn’t any traffic, but it was much later than usual after work. Over at Qiaoqiao’s place, they resolutely waited for him to come home before starting dinner, so he had to put in more effort.

When he got home, as usual, Tang Dou and its little ones warmly greeted him. This bunch has leveled up quite a bit; at least with their collective effort, even Liu Banxia found it a bit overwhelming.

Its little ones are no longer small meatballs; now, they’re big meatballs, running up in a group.

"Alright, we need to hurry home and have dinner." Liu Banxia gave each of them a rub, and then they all zoomed back inside.

If others saw it, they might think it was an illusion.

When it comes to eating, Tang Dou and its little ones are quite serious.

This is a rule set by Qiaoqiao; even when there’s no dinner at home, they have to wait.

"Hurry and wash your hands; today’s hotpot, so we waited for you," Qiaoqiao called out.

"Okay, today Liu Yiqing and Huang Bo did really well. They also asked me to bring regards and tell Qing Kewa to come back to play whenever there’s time." Liu Banxia said.

"Dr. Liu, I really want to come and play, but I found that after staying so long, I’ve gained some weight," Qing Kewa said, quite distressed.

"Oh, you’re not fat. You exercise a lot every day, don’t worry," Wang Xiaoyan chimed in.

"But you should come back more often when you have time, and you can come to my yoga studio. Now, I’m not counting on Director Liu anymore. My hope is placed on you."

"OK, I’ll try to come back next Spring Festival. Next time I’ll prepare well. This time was a bit rushed, didn’t arrange my time well."

Qing Kewa said, delighted.

Liu Banxia didn’t know what to say, stayed for more than two months and still calls it rushed? If this isn’t rushed, wouldn’t it be a half-year visit?

But he’s quite puzzled, the friendship between girls is really hard to understand.

Qing Kewa, Qiaoqiao, and Yanzi are now genuine besties. It’s foreseeable that he should sleep in the guest room tonight; they might talk incessantly.

At the official dinner, Qing Kewa has a special affection for hot pot. And today, Qiaoqiao specially prepared smoked chicken, pig’s feet, and chicken claws for her, and this girl is enjoying it all.

"Yanzi, how’s it going with your new flame?" Liu Banxia asked.

"It’s over; he said I wear too little when teaching yoga," Yanzi said casually.

"Really? Such a reason exists?" Liu Banxia asked in surprise.

"He said it, so just let it be," Yanzi said indifferently.

"There’s no serious reason for a breakup. Starting with the left foot can be a reason; this one’s already quite decent. I guess he wants someone more conventional, with a stable job."

"What’s up? Still a bit reluctant?" Liu Banxia asked with a smile.

Wang Xiaoyan rolled her eyes, "What’s this, now that you two are together with two lovely babies, you have a platform?"

"No, not at all, I just reckon, if you like a certain type, I can help pull some strings," Liu Banxia said.

"Pull strings? You usually pull in either a cop or a doctor; I’d be sitting in an empty house every day," Wang Xiaoyan said helplessly.

"Yanzi, I must say, honestly, cops can be okay, they’re not always that busy," Peng Xiuqin said with a smile.

"Director Liu’s department has Wang Chao, and his girlfriend is a cop too. If two people genuinely like each other, I don’t see a problem."

"Auntie, I’ve thought about it. It’s just not reliable, they could be off on missions for days, leaving me worried at home," Wang Xiaoyan said.

"Criminals are vicious; who knows what methods they’ll use to harm people? That’s my main worry, the rest is not much."

"Alright, I’ll ask Old Shen to help pull some strings later. They have many departments too, not all positions are that dangerous," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"We definitely need Captain Shen to pick a good one; our Yanzi is a little rich lady," Qiaoqiao said, smiling sweetly.

Wang Xiaoyan rolled her eyes, "Just you two wait; I’ll go bully the first child and second baby later."

"Qiaoqiao, when is our dad coming back?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Next month, he has to manage his business over there. Uncle Qiu is taking care of the hotel here, no need for him to worry much," Qiaoqiao said.

"Honestly, I really don’t want to manage that hotel; where to find so much time? Plus, it’s as if I’m splitting assets with Xiaoyu; how much money can the first child and second baby spend in the future?"

"Haha, I won’t get involved in this. Although I’ve resigned myself to eating your soft rice, I can’t feast too extravagantly," Liu Banxia teased.

"Hmph, Old Qiao couldn’t care less. Yesterday, Xiaoyu said at a family dinner, they just talked about you without any serious discussion," Qiaoqiao said.

The words sounded disdainful, but her face showed delight.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoyan couldn’t help but curl her lips; even the dedicated foodie Qing Kewa was the same.

"Yanzi, don’t take it as a joke; I’ll call Old Shen later to help you pull some strings. After dinner, let’s take a photo, I’m getting quite addicted to being the matchmaker," Liu Banxia said.

"Uh-huh, me too. If you don’t like cops, Brother Lin can help you; his company has many profitable programmers," Qiaoqiao said.

"If that doesn’t work, we’ll have Old Qiu help find a department manager or something. The ’Find a Husband for Yanzi’ plan is officially underway, must be settled within six months."

Wang Xiaoyan has already given up resisting.

Only if Liu Banxia arranges it, then it’s no big deal. But with Qiaoqiao involved, whether it’s serious or not, she’ll stand firm and see it through.

And Liu Banxia isn’t kidding; Wang Chao and Ma Limin’s pairing, he was half the matchmaker. So he finds being a matchmaker quite thrilling, determined to get Yanzi hitched.

The next step is to work on his six little ones under him. Counting on them alone? Seems difficult.
