Chapter 280: Chapter 210: A Glorious Homecoming! Cousin’s Wedding and Family Gathering (Part 3)

Today was his cousin’s wedding, and his parents were both going to help out.

Wu Ting had already completed his graduate studies and was just waiting for his diploma.

As a result, he hadn’t been going to Haijin Port as often recently, which was why he was able to take a full day off for the wedding.

Of course, Shen Siyuan, Shen Xiaofei, and Fu Jinfen were still more than happy to have Wu Ting come and exchange surgical techniques.

His parents were immensely proud as they looked at Wu Ting’s new car.

Wu Ting had previously told his parents about the 610,000 yuan bonus he had received from the hospital. So, when he bought a car worth over 500,000 yuan, the old couple couldn’t stop grinning.

Otherwise, if Wu Ting had only just finished his residency and was earning a meager salary, they certainly wouldn’t have let him buy such an expensive car.

His father, Wu Mu, and his mother, Zhang Qing, were both very frugal and simple, ordinary people. They had never had a moment to shine among their relatives their entire lives. Therefore, they were incredibly proud and delighted that their son had bought such an expensive car with his own bonus money.

The drive from their home to the countryside was only about ten minutes.

The groom, Chu Jun, was the son of Wu Ting’s paternal aunt, who had two sons in total. The elder son, Chu Ming, was already married.

The second son, Chu Jun, was 29 this year, which was considered getting married late.

After Wu Ting drove to his cousin’s house, his parents dropped off the gift and other things and went to help.

There was still a lot to do for the wedding, especially in the countryside where picking up the bride involved many customs.

Wu Ting was also assigned to help with some of the preparations.

During the idle chatter, everyone expressed their admiration and envy for Wu Ting’s recent glorious achievements.

His parents, in particular, noticed that while they were helping out, the various uncles and aunts were clearly much warmer and more enthusiastic toward them in conversation.

They were all shocked and envious to hear that Wu Ting had received a huge bonus from the hospital and even bought a car just for publishing a single paper.

People in the countryside didn’t have a clear concept of the specifics, and Wu Ting’s parents didn’t reveal the exact amount of his bonus, but that didn’t stop the story from spreading by word of mouth.

”Wu Mu’s son is truly something else. I never expected him to do so well after graduating from university.”

”He’s only been working for a few years and already bought a car outright with his own bonus money. That’s incredible.”

”Exactly! I only knew that young Ting was handsome, I had no idea his career was this good too. I hear he doesn’t have a girlfriend yet. Anyone know any nice girls we could introduce him to?”

”None of the plain ones, none who aren’t only children, and none over twenty-five... For a guy with our young Ting’s qualifications, we have to be selective and screen them carefully...”

These were all close relatives. Although Wu Ting’s family had been ordinary before, everyone in the extended family was harmonious and caring.

Now that Wu Ting’s career was flourishing, everyone was genuinely happy for him and amazed by his success.

A few of his uncles and his aunt, in particular, truly treated Wu Ting like their own son.

Knowing their nephew was so outstanding, they were already planning to brag about him to everyone they met.

”Looks like the Wu Family has finally produced an impressive young talent!”

While helping out, Wu Ting noticed the proud smile on his mother’s face.

Soon, it was time, and his cousin’s bridal procession set off.

According to the customs in Fan City, the groom’s party would go to pick up the bride, return for a tea ceremony, then go to the bride’s home for lunch. They would then come back to the groom’s home in the afternoon for the evening banquet.

Because of his job, Wu Ting wasn’t assigned to the bride-pickup party, so he just chatted idly with the relatives for a while.

When lunch began, Wu Ting sat at a table with his parents.

It was a happy day for everyone. His father, for a change, started drinking baijiu. It was not only his nephew’s big day, but also a celebration of Wu Ting’s recent success, so his father was in high spirits and very pleased.

Seeing his parents in such a good mood made Wu Ting very happy too.

As a doctor, Wu Ting needed to stay clear-headed 24/7, so he didn’t drink any alcohol, just a soft drink.

Six months ago, some relatives might have tried to pressure him to drink. After all, how important could a junior doctor be? Who would be so unreasonable as to call him back to handle a problem when they knew he was at a wedding banquet? And even if a problem did arise, it wouldn’t be his turn to handle it, right?

But now, the news had hailed him as one of Fan City’s top surgical ”blades,” so everyone just thought he was being professional.

At the dinner table, the elders held Wu Ting up as a role model. ”Look at Brother Ting, now that’s a true example.”

When you become successful, people can find something praiseworthy in everything you do. Not drinking became a virtue: dedicated, professional, a man with a bright future!

According to the rural customs of Fan City, besides relatives and friends, fellow villagers also came to the wedding banquet.

Even though it was only the luncheon and the newlyweds were still at the bride’s home, a feast was still held, and the villagers were invited to eat.

Just as Wu Ting and his parents were enjoying the rare, festive leisure, at a nearby table, Huang Yuliang from the Huang family at the village entrance answered his phone, and panic washed over him.

The man in his forties had been happily drinking just a moment ago, but now his face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot.

”What’s wrong, Ah Liang?”

a villager at the side asked.

Huang Yuliang was stammering, his words a jumbled mess:

”Just now... my wife’s boss called. He said something happened to Sister Hong! At the processing plant... the machine malfunctioned... a spinning iron rod snapped off and flew out, hitting her in the upper left abdomen... She’s bleeding heavily, lying on the ground... They’ve already called an ambulance from the state hospital...”

Huang Yuliang said frantically,

”Can someone drive me? I’ve been drinking...”

Wu Ting and his parents came over and quickly grasped the situation. The distance from the village cultural hall to Sister Hong’s processing plant was only a few kilometers, but it required taking a detour. A direct route would be much faster, but the dirt tracks through the fields were difficult to drive on.

By his estimation, the ambulance would take at least fifteen minutes to arrive. By the time it got there, he wasn’t sure if Sister Hong could hold on.

Wu Ting didn’t know Huang Yuliang very well, but his father was familiar with him.

Wu Mu looked at his son. Wu Ting nodded.

”Uncle Huang, I’ll take you,” Wu Ting said. ”I’m an emergency doctor at City First Hospital, so I have some experience with first aid. Let’s head over there now and wait for the ambulance from Yu State Hospital.”

Wu Ting planned to assess the situation on-site and see if any immediate life-saving measures were necessary.

Besides, he had connections with the doctors at Yu State Hospital, especially Director Duan of the emergency department, who was an old acquaintance. He had gone to their emergency department quite a few times to perform freelance surgeries and give lectures.

However, those had mostly been for tendon suturing, appendicitis, and cholecystitis.

Recently, he had been busy with his master’s thesis and the Center for Laparoscopic Diagnosis and Treatment Technology, so it had been a while since he’d last visited.

There was no time for further thought. Wu Ting took Huang Yuliang, with Wu Mu following along, and they headed for Sister Hong’s village processing plant—which was, strictly speaking, just a small workshop.

To save time, Wu Ting drove directly through the fields. After all, it was a Wrangler, and its performance was top-notch.

For this, Huang Yuliang was incredibly grateful.

Thanks to the Wrangler’s off-road capabilities, a drive that would have taken at least ten minutes on the main road was completed in just five.

He rushed into the factory and was met with a shocking, gruesome sight when he saw Sister Hong’s condition!

Wu Ting walked over to begin a preliminary assessment. The moment he saw her, he thought, ’This is bad.’
