The meal was splendid. After eating, Wang Jingxian also made tea for everyone to cleanse their palates.
"This year has indeed been exhausting, but we've also gained a lot. Once this last busy stage is over, we can truly relax a bit," Liu Banxia said.
"It won't be much relaxation, will it? The normal workload for an attending physician is also quite busy, right?" Qiu Huaili asked.

"Oh, what are you saying? Aren't you embarrassed?" Qiaoqiao said, smiling brightly and teasingly.
"I mean it. Even if there's nothing much to do in the hospital at night, it's still cozier to sleep at home," Liu Banxia said.
"When the child is older, consider buying a house near the hospital. That would save you from such a long trip home after work," Qiao Xuezhi suggested.
