Fate is easy to tie, not easy to solve

Bai Weng is a well-known surgeon in the hospital, and he has been the image representative of the hospital decades ago.The name Bai Lizhong can still be heard occasionally from the doctor's teaching to the new interns.Once upon a time, I was a fresh graduate student, I was ignorant and ignorant, and I was fortunate to be taught by Bai Weng.

Bai Weng never married a wife in his life, and never even had a girlfriend.When I just came here, there was still such a rumor in the hospital that Bai Weng had an affair with a young female nurse when he was menstruating.The female nurse became pregnant before marriage, and said that the child belonged to Bai Weng.This incident could be said to be a test of Bai Weng's moral style at the time.Bai Weng came from a well-known medical school. He is gentle and refined. Everyone has always had a good impression of him.After this incident, the way the colleagues in the courtyard looked at him changed.

Bai Weng faced the female nurse in front of the leaders of the hospital and said: If you don't mind, give birth to the child and we will raise it together.Things calmed down, and Bai Weng also lost the opportunity to study abroad.The place was given to another person.

Later, the female nurse resigned, and she left a letter to the dean, proving Bai Weng's innocence.Who is the child in her womb, and there is no way of knowing whether it was born or not.

And the doctor who pushed Bai Weng to go abroad ended up getting married and having children abroad, but he didn't make much contribution to the hospital.Later, even their nationality became foreign, and they never set foot on Chinese soil again.

Speaking of that old gentleman, I actually saw him at Bai Weng's funeral.With white hair all over his head, he stood solemnly on crutches.He closed his eyes, seemed to be thinking, but also seemed to be waiting for something.

After working in the courtyard for ten years, Bai Weng always laughed at me and said to me: Young people, be more optimistic.Although I am thirty and five years old, I am already middle-aged.

At the age of 25, I graduated and entered the hospital.At that time, Bai Weng was already 60 years old, and he occasionally went to the operating table, but more often he gave lectures to students at school.He also rarely brought new rookie interns, and I was lucky to be spotted by him.

"Young man, which doctor are you following?"

I didn't know at the time that he was the well-known Mr. Bai Lizhong, so I casually reported the name of the doctor who followed me.He laughed and said: He has a lot of new interns under him, they are busy, why don't you follow me.

I don't know how to answer his words, after all, following a middle-aged doctor is much more interesting than following an old and rigid doctor.I faltered and said: "I can't decide on my own, I have to..." Before I finished speaking, a middle-aged doctor who followed him patted me on the back: You can be content with it, Mr. Bai doesn't accept disciples casually, look at you This is crying!

Bai Weng patted my shoulder, smiled and said: "Young people, be more optimistic!"

Later, I felt that the reason why Bai Weng took a fancy to me was not necessarily because he saw my true talents, but a big reason was because of my mournful appearance!

After following Bai Weng, I spent a large part of my time traveling between Bai Weng's house and the hospital.Bai Weng's house is a small two-story building surrounded by walls.The first time I sent the medical records to Bai Weng was also the first time I stepped into Bai Weng's yard, and I was surprised at that time.Entering the yard, I was surprised to find such a scene inside the wall.All kinds of flowers and plants filled the whole yard, and there were a few cats sleeping under the shade of the flowers.Later, when I went in and out of Bai Weng's house, I had several fixed tasks.Send files, feed the cat, water the flowers.

The cats in Bai Weng's house are not only the fat cat he raised, but also stray wild cats and cats passing by. He takes care of them all.And because he lives alone, I come back to feed the cat when the hospital is busy.After getting acquainted with Bai Weng, I once complained: Feeding cats is more punctual than eating by yourself!He chuckled: cats are spiritual, and it doesn't tell because it doesn't know. It doesn't speak human words to complain that it's hungry, so naturally it has to be fed on time.

I thought to myself at the time, isn't it just a beast, what's the point of missing a meal!

That day I went to feed the cat, the fat cat glanced at me and meowed, then turned around and jumped back to the sofa, ignoring me even if it didn’t eat.Even the cat food in the cat box in the yard is not eaten by cats.The next day, Bai Weng laughed and said to me: "It's angry with you." I blushed numbly.

Finally, I still asked Bai Weng why he chose me.He said he saw me bandaging a stray cat on the side of the road that day, so he thought he was a nice guy.I was very ashamed to hear Bai Weng say that. When I came to the hospital on a bicycle that day, a stray cat came out of nowhere, and I ran into it before I had time to brake.The cat's front leg was injured, and I simply bandaged it because I felt uneasy.The bicycle hit a roadside flower bed and the front of the car was broken.The bicycle was borrowed from someone else, and when he thought of losing money, he was depressed and wept.Bai Weng only knows one thing but not the other!But I was caught by him because of this.

When I saw the old gentleman at the funeral, my stomach turned into anger over Bai Weng's death. If he hadn't become a gray-haired old man, I would have gone up and beat him up.Although Bai Weng never told me about going abroad, I always think that Bai Weng's failure to go abroad has something to do with him.Especially after hearing the whispers from the sidekick.

"That one is the one who went abroad to study and never came back."

"They are so old, living abroad is different, they look very gentlemanly."

"You don't know, I heard that he had serious problems with his style of work in the past. If it weren't for his family background, the courtyard would have fired him, let alone retain his party membership."

"Really?"

"No, I heard that he and Lao Bai are still classmates and friends. What kind of friends do I see? It's not that they can do everything for their own affairs."

"You mean that Bai Lao can't leave the country?"

"Not only that, I heard that he is..."

"Oh no!"

"I can't lie to you. My mother used to be the head nurse in the hospital. How could she talk nonsense about the same generation. He hadn't gone abroad at that time, and he almost got Bai Lao..."

I can't hear the one behind, and I don't know what he is.But through the lady's reaction, it must be a very important issue of style and principle.The fact that Bai Weng and him are friends is rarely mentioned, not even Bai Weng himself.I looked at him carefully, and he looked a little familiar.There are many photos in Bai Weng's house, most of them are of cats, but there are only one or two photos of him and cats.There is a picture of him and another man, with a kitten in the middle.When I asked Bai Weng, he smiled and said that the kitten was the great-great-grandfather cat in his arms, but he just laughed and said nothing about that man.At the time I guessed it was his brother, because the way he looked at the photo was so gentle.

The funeral was over, and Bai Weng's family showed up late, but it was because the body was to be taken and cremated.Bai Weng once said that he could not attend his father's funeral, but he smiled bitterly.

The old man walked over, and the fat cat in my arms opened his eyes, meowing.He stretched out his hand, and I watched warily as he hugged the cat tightly.The fat cat broke free very shamelessly and I jumped into his arms.He rubbed the cat's head, just like Bai Weng was alive, the fat cat rubbed his hand affectionately.

"Thank you," he said.

I didn't know what he meant, and he didn't speak again.He stroked the cat's head and whispered, "Let's go."

Now I occasionally think of Bai Weng, but I still miss the old days very much.Hey the cat, water the flowers.In fact, in the days when Bai Weng worked with me, Bai Weng's working hours were extended, and I also learned a lot about how to do things and be a person.

I am already in my fifties, and I have gained a bit of fame in the courtyard.When it comes to me, occasionally someone will say: That's Bai Lao's disciple of Shoushan!No matter how sincere the words are, how much jokes, at least I am not the only one who remembers Bai Weng in this world.

I brought a lot of interns, and some of them liked cats.To my relief, my five year old granddaughter loves cats too.A cat is spiritual, it is always quiet and does not fight or grab.We may not know many things, but cats must know.

The society has been developing just like my age, and I also like to say to those young people: young people, be optimistic.Many times I don’t understand their world. For example, they will talk about celebrities I don’t know, read books I don’t know, and say things I don’t understand. When they see two young male doctors, they will speak with love and tolerance. He looked at her, and then smiled excitedly.I don't understand the world of young people. After all, I am old-fashioned, but at the same time, I can better understand Bai Weng's words: young people, be optimistic!

This has nothing to do with the original novel, it’s just for fun~~~~
