Chapter 156: Stranger Greetings

"Where are you from, little doctor? You don't look like a local." The patient's voice broke the silence of the corridor, with a hint of curiosity.

Lin Xiao was slightly stunned, then showed a warm smile: "I'm from a small city in the south, and I just came here to work not long ago."

"From the south? The weather must be very hot over there?" There was a hint of curiosity in the patient's eyes, and he seemed to be interested in this young doctor.

"Yes, in the summer, the temperature can reach over 30 degrees." Lin Xiao replied, secretly sighing in his heart. He didn't expect that he would attract the attention of patients just after arriving in this city.

"My name is Aunt Li, you can call me Aunt Li." The patient stretched out her hand and smiled slightly, "Although I am old, I still like to make friends."

“Okay, Aunt Li.” Lin Xiao held her hand and felt her warmth. “My name is Lin Xiao, and I’m very happy to serve you today.”

Aunt Li's eyes flashed with relief, "Young people are great, full of vitality. You doctors are really the hope of us ordinary people."

"Thank you for your compliment, Aunt Li." Lin Xiao smiled slightly, feeling warm in her heart, "I will do my best to help you and ensure your health."

"I've been feeling chest tightness and difficulty breathing these days." Aunt Li's expression became serious. "I came to the hospital for a check-up. I'm a little worried."

"It's okay, we will check it carefully." Lin Xiao's tone became gentle but firm, "Please relax and keep a positive attitude."

Aunt Li nodded, a hint of gratitude in her eyes, "Thank you, young man. You made me feel at ease."

Lin Xiao began to examine Aunt Li carefully, carefully asking about her medical history and symptoms. As the conversation deepened, Aunt Li's face gradually showed a relaxed look.

"How long have you worked here?" Aunt Li asked, her eyes full of curiosity.

"I've only been here for over a month, so I'm still a newbie." Lin Xiao smiled slightly, "But I really like the environment and people here."

"I heard the scenery here is beautiful, especially in autumn." Aunt Li's tone revealed a hint of yearning, "Have you been there?"

"Not yet. I'm busy with work." Lin Xiao shook his head, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, "But I will definitely find time to go and take a look."

"Young people should go out more often and relax," Aunt Li advised. "Life is not just about work. There are many wonderful things worth experiencing."

"You are right, Aunt Li." Lin Xiao nodded seriously, "I will remember your words."

As the examination progressed, Aunt Li gradually put aside her worries and began to share her life stories with Lin Xiao. She talked about her experiences when she was young, how she worked hard in this city, how she supported her children, and even talked about her hobby - gardening.

"I like to grow flowers the most, especially orchids." Aunt Li's eyes sparkled, "Whenever I see them blooming, my mood becomes very good."

"Orchids are really beautiful. I like them too." Lin Xiao responded with a smile, "You must have a lot of beautiful flowers, right?"

"Of course, I have a small garden at home and I plant a lot of things." Aunt Li said proudly, "If you have time, you can come to my house and take a look."

"Thank you, Aunt Li." Lin Xiao felt warm, "I will definitely go."

As the conversation deepened, Aunt Li's nervousness gradually dissipated, and Lin Xiao also felt a warm interpersonal relationship in the process. The distance between the two was unknowingly shortened, as if they were not just a doctor-patient relationship, but more like friends.

"I think you're a good doctor." Aunt Li's voice was gentle but firm. "I believe you can help me."

"Thank you for your trust, Aunt Li." Lin Xiao's heart was filled with emotion. "I will do my best to help you and ensure your speedy recovery."

"Where are you from, little girl? You don't look like a local." The old man smiled slightly, with a hint of kindness in his tone.

Chen Fang was slightly stunned, then she showed a warm smile: "I come from a small village, but I will work hard to become a qualified doctor here."

"Oh, a small village, it must be beautiful, right?" There was a glimmer of curiosity in the old man's eyes, and he seemed to have a strong interest in the young doctor.

"Yes, there are green mountains and clear waters, as well as many beautiful fields." Chen Fang's face showed a trace of nostalgia, "However, the medical conditions in the village are limited. I hope to learn more knowledge here and help more people."

"It's great that young people have ideals." The old man nodded, with approval in his eyes. "I also had such a dream when I was young. I wanted to cure the illnesses of my fellow villagers."

"Are you a doctor too?" Chen Fang asked curiously.

"No, I'm a farmer." The old man shook his head slightly, with a nostalgic smile on his face, "But I always hope to do something for everyone."

Chen Fang listened carefully and felt a warm resonance in her heart. "I believe you must have helped many people in the village."

"Yes, although I don't have professional knowledge, I always try my best to take care of my neighbors." The old man sighed slightly, "Unfortunately, as I get older, my strength is gradually insufficient."

"It's okay. You've done a lot for us." Chen Fang's voice was gentle but firm. "I will take over your baton, study hard, and become a doctor who can help others."

The old man smiled slightly, with a gleam of relief in his eyes. "You are such a good boy. Young people should have such determination."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Chen Fang felt a burst of warmth, "I will try my best."

As the examination progressed, Chen Fang carefully asked the old man about his recent physical condition. The old man told her that he had been feeling weak recently, and sometimes had chest tightness. Chen Fang carefully recorded every detail, secretly thinking about the possible cause of the disease.

"Have you noticed any changes in your eating habits recently?" Chen Fang asked, her tone full of concern.

"At my age, I don't have a good appetite and I don't eat much." The old man sighed slightly, "Sometimes I only eat porridge and feel weak."

"Diet is very important to the body." Chen Fang nodded seriously, "I would suggest you adjust your diet and eat more nutritious foods."

"Hearing what you said, I also think I should eat more." The old man smiled and responded with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, "Thank you, young doctor."

"This is what I should do." Chen Fang said with a smile, "I hope to help you recover."

In the following conversation, the old man began to share stories from his youth, his life in the countryside, his farming experience, and the friendship between him and his neighbors. Chen Fang listened carefully, nodded from time to time, with a warm smile on her face.

"When I was young, I often went to the mountains with my friends to pick wild vegetables. Those were really happy times." The old man recalled the past, a nostalgic look on his face.

"That sounds great." Chen Fang's eyes sparkled, "I also like nature, especially those quiet places."

"Young people should go out more often and relax," the old man advised. "Life is not just about work. There are many beautiful things worth experiencing."

"You are right, Grandpa." Chen Fang nodded seriously, "I will remember your words and try to balance work and life."

As the conversation deepened, the old man gradually let go of his worries, and Chen Fang also felt a warm interpersonal relationship in the process. The distance between the two people was unknowingly shortened, as if they were not just a doctor-patient relationship, but more like friends.

"I think you're a good doctor." The old man said sincerely, "I believe you can help me."

"Thank you for your trust, grandpa." Chen Fang's heart was filled with emotion. "I will do my best to help you and ensure your speedy recovery."
