Chapter 370: When a cat catches a mouse, the mouse is most afraid of the cat

"Cough, cough, I'm just passing by. You two continue, don't mind me, just treat me as air."

A tall, slender figure walked out of the dim corner.

It was a young man, also wearing a white coat and silver-rimmed glasses, looking very scholarly.

Pei Yao had only been back for two days and didn't know this person.

But judging by the white coat he was wearing and the work badge pinned to his chest, she guessed he was a doctor at the hospital.

Director Xu, however, knew this person and warned with a fake smile:

"Doctor Huo, don't eavesdrop on female colleagues chatting in the future."

After saying that, she turned and left with an ugly expression.

In her heart, she was cursing Pei Yao for not knowing what was good for her.

"Doctor Huo? Are you a new doctor?"

Pei Yao rarely saw Director Xu looking so frustrated and unable to speak, so she didn't rush to leave, crossing her arms and scanning the other person scrutinizingly.

"Yes, as you can see, I am the cardiologist hired by the hospital director, Huo Yuanshan. Very happy to meet you."

Huo Yuanshan didn't feel any embarrassment at being caught; he walked out with a very good temper, extended his hand, and bowed slightly in a gentlemanly manner.

"Oh."

Pei Yao saw his appearance and didn't extend her hand back; she just nodded faintly in response.

Cardiology?

It looked like he was an expert dug up by the hospital?

He was just a bit young; was he capable?

Her eyes clearly conveyed this meaning, and she saw the other party chuckle and say:

"Tomorrow afternoon, the director asked me to observe Doctor Pei, your surgical procedure."

"Oh, is that so?

Then it's a great honor. Let's not talk for now, I'm off work, we'll talk tomorrow."

Pei Yao's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this. The director, what did this mean?

No matter what it meant, she would ask the director when she saw them tomorrow.

If you aren't proactive about getting off work, there's something wrong with your brain.

He didn't have the leisure to eavesdrop on people talking.

Huo Yuanshan retracted his palm, his gentle smile gradually widening.

His grandfather's telegram said this little girl had a fiery temper, and it was true.

It just so happened that he was invited to join the City First People's Hospital; there would be plenty of time, he would spend some time getting along with her and see.

Far away at the Sea Island's cadre rest home, Old Man Lin shook his blanket and, urged by his old companion, decisively turned off the light.

"Ah, I'm so sleepy. Sigh, I played too hard today, let's sleep early, and think about where to play tomorrow?"

"You're still sleepy? Today I saw you sitting there leaning against a tree, sleeping so soundly, and even talking in your sleep."

"Sigh, I'm old, I'm old, my energy just isn't what it used to be. Sigh, let's not talk about it, sleep early, sleep early."

"No, don't rush to lie down, tell us first what's the situation with that grandson of yours?"

"Ah, that grandson of mine, he's a difficult case because he's too excellent, so a bunch of little girls are chasing after him.

Even now, he's 25 years old and still doesn't have a partner."

"I suspect you're saying the opposite. Be a decent person."

"How am I not being a decent person? Didn't you ask? That's why I answered. If you didn't ask, I wouldn't even want to say."

Old Man Lin hummed proudly, then lay down directly, too lazy to chat with his old companions anymore.

If it wasn't for seeing Old Man Pei worrying day after day about his little granddaughter's lifelong event, he wouldn't have thought of this.

His own grandson wasn't young anymore this year, his character was definitely beyond reproach, and his daughter and son-in-law were in government units; whether it was family background or other aspects, it was absolutely not bad.

Just wait, if his grandson and that little granddaughter of the Pei family started dating, he would definitely have to be in the main seat!

Eh, no, he should be in the main seat anyway!

To put it bluntly, he was also a bit envious of Old Man Lu and Old Man Pei; both of them had children to take care of every day and could show them off everywhere.

He also wanted to hold a third-generation grandchild!

When it came to spoiling grandchildren, he would not be outdone!

"Buzz, buzz, buzz."

Although there were mosquito coils in the room, the damn mosquitoes were like they could walk through walls, getting in everywhere.

"Slap."

From time to time, they would bite people on their hands, legs, and exposed skin. A slap would sometimes hit, but sometimes the mosquito would still escape.

But this was already much better than before, back when people didn't have awareness of prevention.

Things like overnight leftovers, overnight meals, sewage, dirty water, and unmanaged garbage could all pile up and breed mosquitoes and flies.

Now, not only did they attach importance to hygiene, but there were also mosquito and fly prevention propaganda broadcast on television. Now, both inside and outside the Sea Island, there was a conscious effort to centrally destroy garbage, trying not to give mosquitoes and flies a chance to breed.

As the weather got hotter, palm-sized snails would crawl out of the corners of the courtyard at night, super, super big!

Normally, in the interior, snails were only the size of a finger, or even smaller, the size of a fingernail.

But on the Sea Island, these large snails were really bigger than a palm when they crawled!

In most people's cognition, snails were beneficial insects that turned the soil and were food for hedgehogs, frogs, and other insects.

So as long as they didn't crawl into the house or the kitchen,

generally, everyone ignored them.

A few little guys, especially Lian Lian, liked to take fire tongs or a broom and pat the snails, patting them out, having a lot of fun.

Besides snails, at night, a black shadow would pass by the doorway.

After several times, everyone discovered it was a big rat!

That kind of large rat, as long as an adult woman's arm!

Old Man Lu felt a bit worried. Such big rats!

The big rats on this island were much bigger than the palm-sized, index-finger-long little rats back in their capital!

They were simply like the ancestors of rats, the great-grandmother kind!

However, after everyone's investigation, they found that there were no rat holes in the house, no corners, and no traces of rats were found in the house.

"Meow."

Please, in the territory where this Meow King is, little rats are easily handled.

Tangyuan walked past the family members with its head held high and chest out, very proud.

With a look of "I am the great hero, I am the coolest, I am the most powerful, I am the strongest," everyone realized belatedly—

What were they panicking about?

Their family had Tangyuan!

They almost forgot that Tangyuan was a cat!

When a cat catches a mouse, the mouse is most afraid of the cat!

Shen Man's family was fine; there had never been a precedent of rats biting children, and there were no traces of rats visiting, but other military wives in the family compound were not so lucky.

To what extent were the big rats rampant?

They climbed up the rain pipes to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors!

They drilled into the houses through door gaps and the gaps left in the doors, stealing food and biting the elderly and children!

The big rats carried germs, and the elderly and children who were bitten immediately washed their wounds with soapy water and were then sent to the military hospital for treatment; they didn't dare to delay at all! ===== CHAPTER 371 =====
