After a long silence, An Xuyuan asked, "Comrade Li, are you sure you don't want any compensation for this?"
Li Chenmo smiled and replied, "Even if I'm no longer a soldier, I'm still soone who was born in this country. It's my duty to help my country during a crisis."
An Xuyuan nodded after hearing his words and said, "I understand. Thank you for your contribution, Comrade Li."
"It's what I should do."
After so pleasantries, they finally entered the underground cellar. The mont they saw the amount of the paddy seeds, they were stunned speechless. The seeds were preserved nicely, and the quality was far better than what the Capital sent last year.
Since it was no longer early, everyone quickly moved the seeds from the cellars to the carts outside. It took them a total of three hours to move everything.
Seeing the empty cellar, Jiang Zemin asked, "Brother Li, if you donate everything to the country, then what about your family?"
Patting his shoulder, Li Chenmo said with a smile, "Brother Jiang, don't worry. My family still has enough grains to last us until the next harvest."
Hearing this, Jiang Zemin let out a sigh of relief and said, "That's good then."
Not long after the production team's staff and the brigade's staff mbers left, Dong Li and Dong Huang returned with the fish they caught.
Seeing their father, Dong Huang ran towards him while shouting, "Father, we are back!"
Li Chenmo squatted down to hug his daughter and said, "Slow down, be careful of falling."
As she threw herself into her father's embrace, Dong Huang said, "Father, we caught five big fish today. My brother alone caught three big fish."
Seeing her bright smile, Li Chenmo chuckled and said, "Ah Li and Xiao Huang are so great!"
Dong Li's cheeks flushed from his father's praise and he said, "I'm still far from you, Father."
Li Chenmo stood up with his daughter in his arms and patted his son's head gently. "Let's go in. Your mother has been waiting for the two of you," he said.
They locked the gate, and the three of them walked toward the house. While Dong Li and Dong Huang went to take a bath, Li Chenmo helped his wife cook dinner.
After dinner, the children went to their bedrooms to do their howork given by their father. As for Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu, they entered the space and did so exercise in bed.
Early the next morning in the county town's hospital, Song Yan was talking with the Su family in his office.
"Uncle Su, Aunt Su, the surgery is scheduled for today at ten o'clock in the morning. Before we are able to perform the surgery for Lanying, we need you to sign the consent form," Song Yan said as he handed a folder to them.
Su Lide took the folder and read every word written on it carefully. After a long ti, he put down the folder and asked solemnly, "Doctor Song, what are the chances my daughter has?"
Knowing what he was asking, Song Yan said, "Due to Lanying's condition, the success rate of this surgery is 50%."
Hearing this, ng Qiaoping asked, "Doctor Song, didn't you say that this surgery has more than a 90% success rate? Why has it beco 50% now?"
Song Yan lowered his gaze to hide his worries and said, "Lanying's body is weak, and her condition increases the difficulty of the surgery."
When they heard this, the Su family fell silent. They had long accepted that their daughter wouldn't be able to live past sixteen years old. Now that she had reached the age, her condition was deteriorating rapidly.
After a long silence, Su Lide took a deep breath and made up his mind. He picked up Song Yan's fountain pen with a trembling hand and signed his na on the docunt.
As he put down the pen, he said, "Doctor Song, please save my daughter."
"Uncle Su, I will do my best," Song Yan replied firmly.
After getting the family's consent, the hospital began preparing for the surgery. Su Lanying was fasting and currently receiving an IV drip in her ward.
When the Su family finished discussing the procedures with the doctors, they went to her ward to accompany her. As for Song Yan, he was in the hospital's eting hall.
Since this was the hospital's first case of this kind of surgery, every doctor was required to attend the last discussion session.
They not only reviewed Su Lanying's condition but also discussed their plans and the best thods to increase the success rate during the procedure.
While everyone treated this case as an opportunity to learn, for Song Yan, it was far more than just a case. The one lying on the operating table was his future wife. He couldn't afford a single mistake or risk losing her.
Because of this, his expression remained solemn throughout the eting. When it finally concluded, the hospital director called out to him, "Doctor Song, please stay."
Hearing this, Song Yan walked over and asked, "Director, do you need sothing from ?"
The hospital director hesitated for a mont before he said, "Doctor Song, due to your relationship with the patient, you shouldn't take part in the procedure."
Song Yan was taken aback and asked, "Director, are you worried I won't be able to control my emotions and might make a mistake during the surgery?"
The director looked at him and said nothing. But his silence told Song Yan everything he needed to know.
Though he understood the director's intention, he still said, "Director, I won't make a mistake. No matter what it takes, I will make sure this surgery is successful. I can lose everything, but not her. So, with or without your permission, I will join the team."
eting his stubborn gaze, the director let out a long sigh and said, "Xiao Song, you know the consequences of choosing this path. You still have ti to turn back. Don't end up like your mother."
