After spending half a day, An Nian finally refined the hollow string bamboo into a small pendant, which is still in the form of a white brand.

Five of the ten pieces of jade on the ground have turned pure white.

An Nian slowly calmed down, picked up the pendant and looked at it curiously.

"All right?"

Yu Luyuan watched her quietly from the side and watched her open her eyes before speaking.

An Nian nodded happily, stood up and walked over: "Yuanyuan, look, it has turned green."

The color of the space storage is related to the attributes of the refiner. An Nian has a wood spiritual root, and green is the main color.

"It's quite beautiful." Yu Luyuan smiled and touched her head: "Mr. Qiao and Qiao Shi have come back. I told them that you were resting. Can you go out to eat now?"

"it is good."

An Nian put away the half-refined space pendant.

Yu Luyuan also bent down and packed up the things on the ground.

"There are only five left. Isn't that not enough?"

An Nian looked down and said, "I can barely do it."

Yu Luyuan thought for a moment: "Shall we go back to Yuncheng? Go pick up some leftovers and bring them back."

Both of them had missed things like this before.

When An Nian heard what he said, she covered her mouth and snickered: "Okay."

The two tidied up the room and went out.

In the small courtyard, Qiao Yongsheng and Qiao Shi were enjoying the cool weather

Seeing An Nian coming out, Qiao Shi jumped up: "Nian Nian, are you awake? I brought you moon cakes."

"Mooncakes are being sold so early? It's only August now."

"Hahaha, it's all prepared in advance. My favorite is lotus paste and egg yolk, so I brought one for you."

Qiao Shi took out a small moon cake from his room and brought it to An Nian.

"You try it."

Qiao Yongsheng leaned on the wicker chair and looked sideways: "She has been hiding this moon cake all day, and she can't bear to eat it."

Only then did An Nian realize that the mooncakes were not bought by Mr. Qiao, but were brought to him by Mr. Qiao's students who came to visit him.

Mr. Qiao couldn't resist, so he distributed the mooncakes to the doctors and nurses in the department, and Qiao Shi only got one.

Qiao Shi happily reached out and hugged An Nian, shaking him: "Of course, Nian Nian is my best friend. If you have good things, you should share them together!"

An Nian was warmed by her and very happy.

The mooncake was finally divided into four portions, and each of the four members of the family had a small bite.

The soft and glutinous texture of lotus seed paste combined with the special flavor of salted egg yolk made An Nian feel like she fell in love with this taste.

This is the first time in her life to eat mooncakes.

It's as delicious as the book says.

At night, An Nian leaned in Yu Luyuan's arms and rubbed the crook of his neck. Her voice was soft and waxy, carrying the fragrance of lotus paste mooncakes.

"Yuan Yuan, let's buy this moon cake to eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year."

Yu Luyuan lowered his head, put his lips on her forehead, and said with a smile and tenderness, "Okay."

"Send some to your parents and let mom try it! She will definitely like it too!"

"it is good."

-

The following days passed quickly and smoothly.

Yu Luyuan found an old master who could build a courtyard house. When the old master saw that it was such a big project, he said that he could not do it alone, so he invited several friends.

Several master craftsmen carefully measured all the dimensions of the courtyard and drew detailed design drawings.

Yu Luyuan took the design drawing home and looked at it with An Nian.

An Nian only has one request: "There must be more bathrooms, the drainage should be good, and the tap water must be connected."

There is a bathroom in Qiao's courtyard, but after living in the alley for a long time, An Nian realized that many people in the alley did not have a bathroom at home and had to go to the public toilet at the entrance of the alley. This was something she could not accept.

"it is good."

The drawings were revised twice, and construction of their home finally began.

The construction period given by the master craftsmen was two months. After the house was repaired, the smell still needed to be dissipated, which meant that within three months, they would not be able to live in their own yard.

Qiao Yongsheng knew that they wanted to rent a house, so he didn't object. He just shook his wicker chair and pointed to the next door.

"You don't have to go out to look for it. Just live next door. If the house is empty, it will be empty."

Only then did An Nian realize that the room next door also belonged to the master.

She looked at Qiao Yongsheng with dumbfounded eyes: "Master, are you too rich?"

Qiao Changsheng looked at her with a smile: "I don't have the money like you, so I bought a yard of more than 600 square meters without saying a word."

"Hey, isn't this how our family Yuanyuan got a big bonus?"

An Nian was a little coquettish and a little showy, and his whole person was filled with joy.

Qiao Yongsheng shook his head funnyly: "You..."

An Nian awkwardly picked up the teapot on the table, poured him a cup of tea, and brought it over: "Master, if we live next door, can we come over to eat and drink?"

Qiao Yongsheng: "..."

We can no longer have this apprentice!It’s better to move out as soon as possible!

-

The move came quickly. After the house next door was cleaned, An Nian and Yu Luyuan moved there and began their beautiful life as a young couple.

The courtyard next door is smaller than Qiao's courtyard, but there is no change in the layout. It only lacks a wing on the west side, but it is enough for the couple to live.

An Nian adapted well.

On this day, An Nian was lying in the yard blowing the wind, enjoying the good time without having to do anything, when Yu Luyuan came back from outside with large and small bags.

"Nian Nian, your donkey is rolling."

"bought?"

An Nian's eyes lit up, he sat up, picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

The sweet and glutinous taste made her whole body happy.

Yu Luyuan put the meat and vegetables into the kitchen and came out with a plate of grapes.

He sat down next to An Nian and peeled a grape for her.

An Nian opened his mouth and bit it down, suddenly frowning.

Yu Luyuan was stunned: "Isn't it sweet?"

He tasted it when he bought it and it tasted pretty good.

An Nian shook his head: "I'll eat it later. I just ate the donkey rolling, and I feel so sour when I eat grapes again."

Yu Luyuan laughed and stuffed the second peeled grape into his mouth.

"Nian Nian, the machine and catheter you requested have arrived."

An Nian sat up straight: "Brother Liao, can the operation begin?"

She had been waiting for a long time, and saw that it had been almost a month since she returned to China, and Liao Mingyan was still living in the hospital. The bullet in his heart was a time bomb.

"I can clear customs and enter the country today."

Yu Luyuan also had a smile on his face.

Liao Mingyan is his best friend and comrade-in-arms.If it weren't for worrying about him, Yu Luyuan wouldn't have been able to stay in the capital.

Everyone else had gone home to visit relatives, but Yu Luyuan never took An Nian away because he was afraid that something might happen to Liao Mingyan and An Nian would not be in the capital.

"Great!"

An Nian went into the house to take inventory of his things and put the silver needle into his bag in advance.

There is also an emerald green jade plaque placed in the drawer. It is a space pendant that has been refined to 80% progress. Next to it is the only remaining piece of jade.

An Nian picked up the piece of jade and put it into the bag.

Hearing Yu Luyuan's footsteps, An didn't raise his mind and said with a smile.

"I will go to the hospital tomorrow to check Brother Liao's body. Can the machine and catheter be sent to the Military General Hospital tomorrow?"

Yu Luyuan wrapped his arms around her waist and held her in his arms.

"can."

"Okay." An Nian turned to look at him, his eyebrows curved. "Yuanyuan, I will cure Brother Liao."

"Well, I believe you." Yu Luyuan smiled softly, but the certainty in his tone was undisguised.

An Nian was very happy to be trusted so deeply and stood on tiptoes to kiss him.

Yu Luyuan was stunned for a moment, then kissed her back with a smile.

-

The next day, An Nian arrived at the Military General Hospital as promised.

Liao Mingyan has been in the hospital for nearly a month. He was injured on a mission. The country awarded him a first-class merit medal and also provided him with good care.

He lived in a single room or a cadre room.

This is not the first time An Nian has come. He has met Liao's father and mother Liao several times before. They are both government workers and their positions should be high, but their attitude towards An Nian is very gentle.

This time, as soon as An Nian walked to the door of the ward, she heard voices inside. She smiled, thinking that Mother Liao and the others were there.

"Knock down."

An Nian raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The sounds inside disappeared immediately, and a person hurriedly came over to open the door.

An Nian originally wanted to turn the door handle on his own, but when he saw someone coming over, he withdrew his hand.

When she saw the person inside the door, she was stunned for a moment. It was a girl she had never seen before.

"you are?"

Obviously, the girl inside the door was also stunned for a moment.

An Nian quickly spoke: "I'm An Nian, a doctor from the health care team."

"It's Dr. An! Please come in quickly." The girl's expression instantly became relaxed, and she gave way with a smile. "Are you here to check up on Brother Liao? Why haven't I seen you before?"

An Nian originally wanted to continue saying that she was Yu Luyuan's wife, but she couldn't continue after being interrupted by the other party, so she had to smile.

"I am not a doctor at the Military General Hospital, but I have treated Deputy Battalion Commander Liao before. I am not responsible for his daily treatment. I only come here to check on him occasionally to make sure that no other problems are caused."

"Oh, that's it." The girl nodded and walked inside. "Brother Liao, Doctor An is here."

Liao Mingyan was lying on the hospital bed reading a book.

His current body is not suitable for exercise, so in the past month, the most he has done is lying down.

Seeing An Nian coming over, Liao Mingyan immediately put down the book in his hand and sat up straighter, leaning on the bed.

"Sister-in-law, why did you come here today?"

As soon as the title "sister-in-law" came out, the expression on the girl's face became more relaxed, and she quickly dragged a chair over from the side.

"It turns out to be my sister-in-law, come on, come on! Sit down quickly!"

Liao Mingyan calmed down: "Sun Qiqi, what are you doing?"

It turns out that the girl's name is Sun Qiqi.

Sun Qiqi pursed her lips: "I asked my sister-in-law to sit down. Why are you so fierce?"

"Don't be too busy, just find a place to sit."

Liao Mingyan originally wanted her to go out, but found that there were only three of them in the ward. If Sun Qiqi left, An Nian and him would be even more embarrassed, so he had to change his explanation temporarily.

An Nian looked around and felt that there was something going on between the two of them.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to take my pulse?"

Liao Mingyan's voice interrupted An Nian's thinking, and the understanding just now disappeared.

An Nian simply didn't think too much and took out the pulse pillow from her bag and placed it on the bedside table.

"You come along."

Then during the pulse examination, An Nian checked the condition of Liao Mingyan's heart and made sure that the bullet was still firmly attached to the heart muscle, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, just routine anticoagulation treatment."

"Okay. Sister-in-law, when can my surgery start?" Liao Mingyan frowned, "Even without foreign instruments, we can still perform major thoracotomy surgery."

Anyway, he didn't want to lie "corpse" on the bed for a day. It was really torture to have a special soldier do nothing every day and not even be allowed to take two quick steps.

Seeing his distressed look, An Nian couldn't help but laugh: "Let's see if we can do it today."

"What?" Liao Mingyan was stunned.

"Yuan Yuan has already gone to receive it."

"Really?" Liao Mingyan was so excited that he almost jumped out of bed.

The girl Sun Qiqi sitting beside the hospital bed reached out without hesitation and pressed her white palm on his chest.

Liao Mingyan shook her body and shook her off: "Sun Qiqi!"

Sun Qiqi blinked innocently: "Auntie said you can't move."

Liao Mingyan looked ugly: "Then just say it with your mouth, don't use your hands or feet!"

"I can't make it in time..."

An Nian rolled his eyes, the fire of Bagua burning brightly.

"Ming Yan, this girl is...?"

In private, An Nian would sometimes call Liao Mingyan, Brother Liao, but when someone was around, she always pretended to be her sister-in-law, so it was perfectly fine to call him "Mingyan".

Liao Mingyan's face stiffened and his ears were a little red.

"She...she is..."

"I am Liao Mingyan's future partner."

Sun Qiqi, a girl, was the first to speak. She looked at An Nian with a smile.

"Hello, sister-in-law, my name is Sun Qiqi. I have heard your name before. Are you the wife of the battalion commander Yu Luyuan?"

"Hello, Miss Sun."

"Just call me Qiqi."

Sun Qiqi was very familiar with it, so she grabbed An Nian's hand and shook it.

"When I marry Liao Mingyan, I will also join the army. By then we will be neighbors in the same family home."

It was the first time to see such a proactive girl. An Nian was quite surprised and shook hands with her.

"You are welcome to join."

The corner of Liao Mingyan's mouth twitched: "Sister-in-law, don't listen to her nonsense, we haven't even exchanged words yet."

Sun Qiqi's smile did not change: "Your parents both agree."

"I disagree!"

As they said this, the two of them were like two elementary school chickens, quarreling with each other.

An Nian's lips twitched and he stood up: "I'll go out and see where the instruments are."

After going out and hiding for a while, and making sure that the machine had entered the hospital, An Nian went over to take a look.

The machine was sent into a large operating room.

Another wall in the operating room is transparent and connected to the room next to it. People outside can see the doctor's operations in the operating room through the glass wall.

"Will the machine be ready for use today?"

An Nian asked Weng Lao, the obviously excited director of cardiac surgery and deputy director of the Military General Hospital.

Mr. Weng also has another identity, the leader of Western medicine in the health care group.

An Nian was very familiar with him, and his questions were straightforward.

Mr. Weng nodded with a smile: "When the machine is installed and the operating room is re-sterilized, it can be put into use."

With that said, he turned to look at An Nian: "Girl Nian, are you sure you want to do the first operation?"

"Yeah." An Nian looked at the instrument and nodded slightly. "I have learned in detail how to use this instrument."

"We also understood..."

Mr. Weng hesitated.

Since its inception, interventional surgery has appeared in top international journals countless times. Clinicians like them have read the journals for a long time.

Someone with connections even got back a detailed operating guide, which clearly spelled out the use of instruments and the steps for interventional surgeries.
