I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

"What? Right here? This...this is a hospital?"

When Jiang Chen led his parents and grandparents into the three-story building of the county hospital, Wang Xiuying's mouth dropped open in astonishment, almost big enough to fit an egg.

There's no pungent disinfectant smell here; instead, there's a faint floral fragrance.

The ground was as smooth as a mirror, without a single scrap of paper or stain.

Soft, soothing music played in the lobby, where groups of well-dressed people sat on plush leather sofas, quietly sipping coffee and reading magazines.

This was nothing like the crowded, noisy hospital lobby she remembered, filled with crying and coughing.

This is clearly the kind of high-end club you only see on TV!

"Mom, keep your voice down."

Jiang Chen smiled and reminded him, "This is the VIP medical examination center, specially arranged by Director Li. It's all about the environment."

"Oh my god..."

Wang Xiuying quickly covered her mouth, but her eyes, like searchlights, looked around curiously and nervously.

Although Jiang Jianjun and his grandfather Jiang Wanshan did not speak, their slightly straightened backs and feigned composure betrayed their inner turmoil.

Just then, a young nurse in a pink uniform with a sweet smile quickly came to greet them.

"Are you Mr. Jiang Chen and your family?"

The nurse's voice was so gentle it could melt your heart.

"Yes, we are."

Jiang Chen nodded.

"Hello everyone, my name is Xiaolin, and I will be your dedicated nurse to guide you through the entire physical examination process."

With a smile, Xiaolin handed them four pre-printed medical examination forms.

"We have arranged all the projects and procedures. You just need to follow me. There is no need to queue at all."

One-on-one accompaniment throughout the entire process?

No need to queue?

Wang Xiuying and Jiang Jianjun exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

Back then, she accompanied Jiang Jianjun to the town's health center to see a doctor about his back. They waited in line for half an hour to register, an hour to see the doctor, and another half hour to pay and get the medicine. The whole morning was wasted in endless waiting.

But now...

"Come on, Aunt Wang, let's start with a blood test."

Nurse Xiaolin smiled and led Wang Xiuying to a separate blood collection room.

The room contained only a comfortable blood collection chair and a very high-end-looking instrument.

The doctor performing the procedure wore a mask and gloves, and moved with the gentleness of someone handling a precious treasure.

The moment the needle pierces the skin, there is only a slight, almost imperceptible sting.

Before Wang Xiuying could react, the blood had already been drawn.

"Okay, Auntie."

The doctor quickly applied a cotton swab.

Just as Wang Xiuying was about to press the needle hole and sit down in the corridor to wait,

Nurse Kobayashi, however, came over carrying an exquisite tray.

On the tray was a beautifully packaged box of imported pure milk, and next to it were two pastries that looked delicious.

"Auntie, you just had your blood drawn, have a glass of warm milk to replenish your nutrients."

As Nurse Xiaolin spoke, she deftly inserted the straw into the milk carton and handed it to Wang Xiuying.

Wang Xiuying was completely dumbfounded.

She held the warm carton of milk, her hands trembling slightly.

"This...this milk...is it for me?"

"Yes," Nurse Kobayashi said with a smile, "We provide milk and snacks to every guest after their blood is drawn. This is our center's standard service."

"Wow...this hospital's service is amazing..."

Wang Xiuying sipped her milk through a straw, mumbling indistinctly.

The sweet milky flavor seemed to reach right into her heart.

"This hospital is worth it!"

She looked at her son Jiang Chen, nodded heavily, and gave the organization the highest praise she had ever given it in her life.

Jiang Chen looked at his mother's adorable, naive appearance, feeling both amused and heartbroken.

He knew that the money was well spent!

The subsequent medical examinations gave the four members of the Jiang family a taste of what it meant to be "outmatched".

After the doctor finished the procedure, he patted him on the shoulder and praised his good physique, saying that his muscle density was stronger than that of many young people.

These words made Jiang Jianjun overjoyed, and he walked with a swagger.

My grandparents are too old for procedures like MRI.

Jiang Chen had already made the arrangements.

He directly invited the most authoritative TCM expert in the hospital to conduct a diagnostic examination (inspection, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation) on the two elderly people in a quaint and antique-style treatment room.

The expert first carefully took the pulse of Grandpa Jiang Wanshan, and then began to give him massage therapy.

The old man sits and smokes a pipe all year round, so his shoulders and neck are a bit stiff.

The expert's technique was superb; with just a few massages and kneading strokes, the old man began to moan and groan in comfort.

"Mmm...that feels good..."

Jiang Wanshan closed his eyes, a look of pure enjoyment on his face. "This skill... is a hundred times better than that blind old Li from the village entrance!"

The grandmother next to her was also being treated by another female doctor with warm moxibustion to regulate her somewhat weak and cold body.

The room was filled with the faint scent of mugwort, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

During the break, the family was taken to a place comparable to a five-star hotel lounge.

Inside, there is not only a free buffet with a variety of exquisite snacks, fruits and drinks, but also freshly cooked abalone porridge and sea cucumber soup.

Wang Xiuying held a bowl of steaming abalone porridge, scooped up a whole, chewy abalone with a spoon, and carefully fed it to her husband, Jiang Jianjun. Her face was filled with an unprecedented sense of relaxation and happiness.

"Old man, try this! It tastes much better than the porridge we make at home!"

Jiang Jianjun nodded indistinctly while chewing on abalone.

Jiang Chen felt a surge of immense satisfaction as he watched this scene.

However, just as the family was immersed in this unprecedented sense of happiness...

In the afternoon, all the test results were compiled and delivered to the experts.

"Mr. Jiang," the chief physician in charge of the general examination said with a serious expression as he invited Jiang Chen into his office, "your family member still has some minor health issues."

Jiang Chen's heart leaped into his throat.

"Your father has mild bone hyperplasia in his lumbar spine. Although you have used some good conditioning methods for him before, the old strain is still there and he needs systematic physical therapy."

"Your mother's blood pressure is a bit high, and she also has mild fatty liver. She needs to adjust her diet and take medication."

"Your grandfather has chronic bronchitis, commonly known as chronic bronchitis, which is prone to relapse in the autumn and winter seasons."

As the doctor listed the reasons one by one, Jiang Chen's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

These are all the health problems left behind by my parents and grandfather's years of hard work and frugality!

"Doctor, what should we do?"

Jiang Chen asked eagerly.

"The best approach is to be hospitalized for observation and treatment for a few days."

The doctor offered advice: "Our center has supporting convalescent wards, and we will arrange nutritionists, physical therapists, and attending physicians to develop a comprehensive rehabilitation plan for them."

Hospitalization?

Jiang Chen knew he was in trouble.

as predicted.

When he relayed the doctor's advice to his parents, the couple's previously sunny faces instantly fell.

"Hospitalization? No way!"

Wang Xiuying shook her head vigorously, "I'm perfectly healthy! My blood pressure is a little high, but I can manage by eating less salty food at home! Why would I need to stay in the hospital? That would cost so much money!"

"Exactly!" Jiang Jianjun chimed in. "My back has always been a problem, it's nothing serious! Why waste money like that!"

It looked like the elderly couple was about to back out again.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and unleashed his ultimate move once again!

He said with a pained expression, "Dad, Mom! Have you forgotten? This 'commendation package' approved by Director Li already included three days of free recuperation!"

"The doctor said this is bundled with the package! If you don't stay, you can't get a refund!"

Jiang Chen slapped his thigh and emphasized his words.

"In other words, if we don't stay, all those three days in a five-star hotel-like ward, with one-on-one expert service, will be a complete waste! We won't get a single penny back!"

"What?!"

"No refunds for staying at the hotel?!"

Upon hearing the words "waste" and "no refund," Wang Xiuying and Jiang Jianjun's eyes widened instantly!

This is worse than killing them!

"live!"

Wang Xiuying slammed her hand on the sofa armrest and said firmly.

"We absolutely have to stay! Why shouldn't we? This is a government benefit! We might as well take advantage of it!"

"That's right!" Jiang Jianjun immediately changed his tune, his face full of righteous indignation, "We must stay for the full three days! Not a single day less! We have to get our money's worth!"

Seeing his parents' excited expressions, as if "not getting a good deal is a loss," Jiang Chen almost couldn't help but laugh.

Get it!
