The miserable heroine of the sad novel of the period was penetrated

Chapter 221: Making an International Call Home

But the person lying on bed 27 now was not Minghui, but a white man. Doctors and nurses were busy bandaging his wounds.

Xia Songlan asked the nurse who was busy at the side, "Excuse me, where is the Chinese lady who was lying here last night?"

The nurse was the one who had spoken to Minghui before. After a moment’s thought, she realized, “She was discharged from the hospital before dawn.”

"Ok, thank you."

Xia Songlan did not ask about Minghui's specific illness. After all, she was not familiar with Minghui, and Minghui had hurt the original owner.

The reason why she was willing to help Minghui with her medical expenses was simply out of the moral obligation as a fellow Chinese living in a foreign country.

Today it was Xia Songlan's turn to rest. She went back to the dormitory and had a good sleep. The next day, she went to work full of energy.

By the end of the afternoon, the entire internship period will be over because school will start tomorrow.

Xia Songlan was busy until the afternoon shift change, and when Little John came to find her, she had just changed into casual clothes.

Little John stood at the door, holding an envelope in his hand, and waved it towards Xia Songlan, "Songlan, this is your salary."

Xia Songlan was about to refuse, but Little John raised his hand and explained, "It's not my will. My grandfather asked me to send it."

Xia Songlan asked, "Is Grandpa John in the hospital now? I want to visit him and thank him for taking care of me during this period of time."

Little John felt unbalanced and muttered, "Why don't you thank me? I'm the one who takes care of you all day, so how come I'm your grandfather? You're really partial."

Xia Songlan smiled and didn't explain. She turned around and took the gifts she had prepared for Old John and Little John.

He pulled out Little John's and handed it over, "I know you have a sweet tooth, so I bought these cookies from the cake shop when you came here. I hope you like them."

Little John didn't expect Xia Songlan to give him a gift. Although it was just a simple dessert, he was very happy.

I immediately took a piece and started eating it. "Hmm~ It tastes good, not too sweet. I like it."

Then he stared at the other gift in Xia Songlan's hand, "What is that?"

"This is for old Grandpa John."

"Biscuits too?" Little John was curious.

Xia Songlan shook her head, did not answer, and walked out of the room first.

When the two arrived at Old John's office, Old John was on the phone and motioned for them to wait a moment.

Soon, the phone was hung up, and Old John came over happily and hugged Xia Songlan.

He asked caringly, "Are you still used to it? Did this guy bully you?

Let me tell you, all the men in our family are playboys. You can't be fooled by this guy.

If you agree to his pursuit, you will regret it later."

Little John didn't expect that while he was working hard to pursue someone, his grandfather was dragging his feet and complaining, "Grandpa, I am your grandson, right?"

Old John waved his hand in disdain, "Stay away from me, men are all stinky, they are not as cute as girls."

As he spoke, he began to show concern for Xia Songlan's studies and life.

Xia Songlan answered each question seriously.

Old John nodded in satisfaction, "You are a lot like your grandfather, you are resilient in doing things, much better than this guy."

Little John didn't expect that the topic would be brought up again about himself, and he hid aside angrily.

Xia Songlan took out the envelope containing the salary that Little John had given her and placed it on the table together with the gift she bought for Old John.

“Grandpa John, this is a gift from me to you, I hope you like it.

As for the internship salary, I don't want it. You helped me a lot, but I didn't do anything. How can I get paid?"

Xia Songlan learned that for students like them who have not graduated yet, they have to pay the hospital for internship.

I've never heard of anyone like her who not only doesn't have to pay any fees, but also gets paid.

Old John picked up the envelope and handed it to Xia Songlan, "Keep it, it's not much money.

I heard from Little John that you work very hard and if you didn’t have a medical license, you could have done it on your own.”

Xia Songlan felt a little embarrassed by Old John's praise, "Grandpa Old John, please stop praising me, I will be proud."

“You Chinese are too modest. You are obviously very good, but you still say you are not good enough.

When your grandfather and I were studying in Europe, your grandfather was always so humble, and I really thought he was not good enough.

I didn't expect that what he called "no" was a peak that I could never reach no matter how hard I tried.

Don't worry, you deserve it."

Seeing that Xia Songlan was about to refuse, Old John slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I remember what your grandfather often said, that gifts from elders cannot be refused.

I am also your grandfather, what I gave you, don't you want it?"

Seeing that things had come to this, Xia Songlan could only smile and take the envelope.

Only then did Old John happily open the gift that Xia Songlan brought him.

It's a very beautiful tie clip.

Old John liked it very much, took it and put it on directly, and even went to the mirror to look at it, "Woad has a good eye, I like this one."

Little John was salivating at the side, "Why is Grandpa's gift a tie clip, but mine is a cookie?

Woad is too partial.”

Old John said proudly, "Can you compete with me? Are you as handsome as me? Are you as skilled in medicine as me? Are you as close to Isatis as I am?

Stay aside."

Then he invited Songlan to his desk and said, "Songlan, I want to call your grandfather and show off the gift you gave me.

Do you want to listen?"

Xia Songlan hasn't heard her grandfather's voice for a long time. In fact, it is not easy to make an international long-distance call to Country M from China.

When grandpa asked old John to take care of her, he made an international call from the office in the central hospital.

Later on, it was always Old John who took the initiative to contact grandpa.

In order to facilitate communication, my grandfather specially found his old friend. After several twists and turns, my grandfather's house was able to receive international long-distance calls, but it could only receive calls and not make calls.

Xia Songlan only spoke to her family on the phone once when she first arrived in Country M, and it has been a long time now.

She stared at Old John and dialed the number, even moving closer to him involuntarily.

Finally, my grandfather's voice came from the other side, "Hello, I'm Lao Zhou, who are you?"

"It's me. I'm Old John."

Grandpa was also very happy when he heard Old John's voice. He immediately changed to English, "You old man, why did you think of calling me? Have you seen woad?"

"Guess." Old John acted like a spoiled child and raised his eyebrows at Xia Songlan.

Xia Songlan also covered her lips and smiled.

Grandpa was anxious over there, "What are you guessing, you said you would take good care of us irodendron.

I remember that some time ago you said that you would let her go to your hospital for internship after her spring break.

Did Isandra go there?"

Old John was still not in a hurry, and he even lit a cigar for himself, "Guess!"
