Jong-seok's parents and Lee Tae-pyeong's couple quickly became close as they had known each other for a long time.
After dinner, the adults were talking with a bonfire in the garden in front of their house.
" You like fishing.”
"Are you fishing for your in-laws, too?”
"I live right in front of the river, and I do it by myself.”
Lee Tae-pyeong nodded at his father and looked at the river. Even so, the river was flowing in front of the house, which was a really good residential environment for anglers.
"What do you get here a lot?"
"There's a fish, there's a fish...... Oh! Especially if you put your hair in the bowl, you'll get that many fresh-water."
"Fresh shrimp......it's so delicious even if you put it in and cook ramen...….”
"Then how, would you like to go fishing?"
"Now?"
The father smiled and said, "The bright image of Lee Tae-pyeong."
"There are fishing rods I use at home and earthworms for bait, so you just have to get up."
"Shall we, then?
When Lee Tae-pyeong said with a smile, Cho Mi-ryeong took the hand.
"You're not fishing till you come to your in-laws' house."
"You seem to like fishing too, so we're going to go fishing and talk about this and that. Is fishing really the purpose? Then let's go.”
At Lee Tae-pyeong's words, Dad nodded and said,
"Then let's go pick a fishing rod somewhere."
"Do you have several fishing rods?"
"I've been collecting a few because each fishing rod tastes different."
"I'll take a good look at this today."
As the adults smiled and walked to the warehouse of the house, Cho Mi-ryeong sighed and spoke to her mother.
"Do you like fishing?"
"I sometimes go fishing."
"Why Soomi's dad loves fishing so much."
"I wish I had a hobby at my age.”
"But when should I let them get married?”
When asked by Cho Mi-ryeong, her mother smiled and said,
"We'd love to do it quickly, but Sumi is busy, so we can think about it slowly."
"Sumi, I'm sorry that you're greedy for work."
Jong-seok, who was cleaning up his dinner on one side, saw that the adults looked good together and told Lee Soo-mi.
"Your parents look good together.”
"I know."
said Lee Soo-mi, who spoke with a smile.
"I'll go in and get some fruit.”
"I'll do it."
"No. You're with your mothers.”
At Lee Soo-mi's words, Jong-seok nodded and moved to the place where the mothers were.
Lee Soo-mi's parents, who had a good time at Jong-seok's house until lunch the next day, were smiling as they left the house.
In particular, Lee Tae-pyeong's face was full of laughter.
"Hahaha! It's the first time in my life that I've caught three five-stringed carp in the same spot."
Lee Tae-pyeong, who went fishing with Jong-seok's father yesterday, went fishing day after day.
Even though his father came home exhausted at dawn, Lee Tae-pyeong had his fishing rod spread out day by day.
And when I heard what he said, he caught three five-inch carp, or 50 centimeters.
Five-piece carp is called dream carp among fishermen. That's how hard it is to catch.
However, Lee Tae-pyeong was in a good mood because he caught three in a sitting position.
And my dad looked happy, too. My dad is happy to see his son-in-law come and return to such a pleasant face.
"If you want to go fishing at any time, please come."
"I'm worried if you'll tell me not to come because it's annoying."
"Worried. Please come anytime."
"Then I'll try it with my friends next time...….”
Cho Mi-ryeong was startled by Lee Tae-pyeong's words and hit him hurriedly.
"I'm crazy. How can I bring my in-laws and friends?"
"No, 'cause we're going fishing.”
"It's a nuisance."
Mom smiled and said to the conversation between the two.
"Come with me. If you come, we'd like to treat you to a meal.”
"No. No. I'm sorry I owe you a day yesterday."
At Cho Mi-ryeong's words, she held out a shopping bag in her hand.
"It's a wild-yacho enzyme and jeans we made at home, but I'm not sure if it'll suit your taste."
"I tried it yesterday and it still tastes good. Thank you for the food."
When the couple were talking and laughing, Jong-seok told Lee Soo-mi.
"Then let's go to Seoul tomorrow and see."
"Okay. Let's take a good rest at home and see you in Seoul."
Jong-seok, who laughed and talked, greeted Lee Soo-mi's parents and soon closed the car.
And soon after Jong-seok waved his hand, the car began to start.
Jong-seok had a week of family reunions and had a good time with Lee Soo-mi.
It was a long and short time, but it was the first time that Lee Soo-mi spent such a long time together after becoming an entertainer and becoming a health doctor.
Even when I went on vacation to China, I couldn't have a good time because of the earthquake.
After such a pleasant week, Jong-seok saw Lee Soo-mi off at the airport and returned to her daily life.
***
Entering Han Song-yi's hospital room, Jong-seok smiled and said, "There is Oh Soo-mi."
"Sumi is here today."
At Jong-seok's words, Oh Sumi looked at him and said,
"I heard you're Lee Soo-mi's girlfriend."
"How did you know that?”
"I was watching TV at home and it came out. Leaving the airport with you and Lee Soo-mi.”
Jong-seok smiled at Oh Soo-mi's words and stroked the head and saw Han Song-yi.
"How have you been without me?”
"It was worth it, but...….”
When Han saw the dermatologists next to him, Jong-seok smiled.
He is leading Jong-seok to say that the treatment was painful during his absence.
"If you anesthetize with medicine every time you treat it, it can cause slow recovery and side effects."
"I know... ...it hurts so much."
said Jong-seok, who nodded at Han Song-yi.
"Let me take a look."
When Jong-seok gently took off the patch, the burn marks were revealed. Even if it was painful, a treatment at the hospital had worked and had recovered a lot for a week.
"You've gotten a lot better."
"It's all thanks to you."
"It's not thanks to me, it's thanks to the teachers here."
With a smile, Jong-seok looked at the affected area for a while, looked at his hands and face, and soon put his saliva on it, and began to push his vitality and strength.
Jong-seok was drinking tea with Moon Jae-chul.
"I looked at a chart of a dermatologist and found that he was recovering very fast.”
"Fortunately, the treatment worked."
"I didn't know that saliva could cure my burn."
"One medicine is based on improving the resilience of the body and harmonizing energy. That's why the harmony between yin and yang is also effective for broken burns."
"Is it normal? Or is it because of Mr. Lee's exceptional ability?”
Jong-seok smiled and nodded at Moon Jae-chul's question.
"In general, dermatological treatment works better on both sides than on one side.”
"So you're also very good."
When Jong-seok smiled and drank tea without answering, Moon Jae-chul said.
"How's your internal and medical papers going well?”
"Now I'm working on a bunch of cases at the licensed clinic."
"As with any discipline, the more cases the better."
Jong-seok nodded at Moon Jae-chul's advice.
"The cases from Seoul Hospital are very helpful."
"Good thing."
Moon Jae-chul, who was talking about this and that, stuck out his tablet PC.
"Surgical patients caught next week."
Jong-seok, who received the PC given by Moon Jae-chul, nodded at the patients.
"Heart patients and brain tumors."
"Will the date be all right?"
The patient chart also had dates for their surgery.
"It's all right."
Moon Jae-chul, who nodded at Jong-seok's words, opened his mouth.
"And the surgery has raised quite a few donations."
"Donation?"
"Saving people is a doctor and a medical man's duty, but...... it costs money to save people."
Moon Jae-chul's face as he spoke was slightly shy.
"I'm not that good either, but speak comfortably."
"Anyway, so is our hospital. Sometimes I have to deal with patients who don't have money, and sometimes I can't help it."
Jong-seok nodded at Moon Jae-chul's words. He was not naive enough to say that a doctor should think of his patient's life first.
The bigger the disease, the more money it had to be inevitable.
Every shot, every pill, is money. And hospitals don't mean all the money comes from the ground.
"But Seoul Hospital seems to have good medical services for poor patients."
Seoul Hospital was using some of the hospital's profits to treat low-income patients.
"I'd like to make more money, but I can't help it if I want to run a hospital."
Moon Jae-chul, who took a sip of tea, spoke.
"Do you know why I go to the entrance to meet VIPs and see them off?"
When asked by Moon Jae-chul, Jong-seok said while looking at him.
"Is it a donation?"
Moon Jae-chul just talked about the donation, so he gave the answer first.
"That's right. People say money is a cover for patients, but...... VIPs bring money to the hospital in the name of donations in addition to medical bills. And with that money, we can help the poor, and we can do the research we need to develop medicine."
Jong-seok nodded at Moon Jae-chul's words.
"There's a saying that you earn like a dog and use it like a monk...... whatever money it takes to do a good thing with it, that's also a good thing."
"What kind of money would be bad if it wasn't stolen money."
Then, Moon Jae-cheol saw Jongseok.
"Anyways, patients from all over the world are VIPs. And the amount of money they donated is substantial."
'They're flying in from abroad for surgery, so they're not broke.’
Until now, there have been Korean patients and patients from all over the world who participated in Jongseok's surgery.
Patients who have difficulty in surgery in foreign countries have come to Korea. And they don't come alone.
Medical problems can occur on the plane, so the doctors and medical staff in charge come with them.
That meant VIPs who were capable of coming with medical staff.
And they also donated money to Seoul Hospital in addition to medical expenses. It means that I pay this much money to treat it well.
There were donations from the Haneul tribe, so nearly five billion donations were piled up at Seoul Hospital.
Moon Jae-chul, who told me about him, said.
"Two billion out of five billion have been set aside for treatment for the low-income class at Seoul Hospital, and two billion have been funded by our hospital's medical staff for research and papers."
As Jong-seok listened to him, Moon Jae-chul continued.
"And the remaining billion will be funded by Lee's research."
"Research support?”
"Of course it's called research support, but...... no matter how you spend it, it's up to you."
Along with the horse, Moon Jae-chul extended a bank account and a card.
"In the future, if the surgical patients you participate in donate money, the research funds will be deposited into the bank account. You can use it like a corporate credit card."
"Can I use it in a licensed clinic?”
"It's a research grant for the advancement of medicine, so you can use it in licensed clinics, or you can drink with this money."
"Drinking?"
"It's also the work of corporate cards to boost team morale."
Moon Jae-chul, who was talking, rose up.
"Thank you for your hard work today."
At the words of Moon Jae-cheol, Jong-seok stood up, bowed his head, and left the director's office.
I got a text message from Jong-seok's cell phone, which was taking off his gown and dressing up in his clinic to leave work.
Ding dong!
When I saw Jong-seok's text message, I was glad to see him.
Kim Young-woo
Hey, are you busy?
Kim Young-woo, whom he sometimes saw when he was interning at an oriental medicine hospital, sent a text message.
'I haven't seen him in a long time.’
Kim Young-woo and Jong-seok, who were traveling to and from Gangwon Province as health doctors, had little contact.
Jong-seok called him gladly.
[Hey! Jong-seok!]
Jong-seok smiled at Kim Young-woo's voice when he answered the phone gladly.
"Let's make a phone call. What kind of text is that?"
You said you were busy every time you called.….]
"That's because you called when you were busy, and what brings you here?”
[Not anything else, Chang-sik got accepted to the police this time.]
"Chang-sik was still studying police?”
I heard that Noryangjin is preparing for a civil servant with Kim Young-woo, but I didn't know that he was still preparing.
[Will you pay attention to your friend?]]
"Sorry. So where is Chang-sik?"
[I'll be home now. So I asked to see you around tomorrow, but I heard about you. Can you come?]
"I heard Chang-sik got accepted by the police, so I have to go."
[Because we're supposed to see you tomorrow in Taejin-dong. Come to Taejin-dong around 7:00.]
"Where is it?"
[I don't know either because it's been a long time since I've been to Taejin Let's go and decide the place.]
Jong-seok, who hung up with a nod to Kim Young-woo's words, looked at his cell phone.
"Taejin-dong... ... How are the paintings?"
Jong-seok smiled when he recalled the paintings he had drawn. It feels good to think about seeing the old house after a long time.
