Re: greeting
(edited, with embellishment...)
We arrived at Mr. Chen's house. Fearing the worst, we sat down and waited for him to speak.
To our surprise, Mr. Chen smiled and said, "Today you should congratulate me."
Seeing that we were puzzled, Mr. Chen went on to explain that he had been in the hospital for two months with a vein thrombus. This morning he saw his doctor, and was given a clean bill of health.
Elated, we went over to contratulate him. We laughed and talked for hours.

Arriving at Mr.Chen's house, we sat down; to our surprise Mr.Chen told us at once -- "Today you should congratulate me." Seeing that we were puzzled, Mr. Chen paused, explaining that he suffered vein thrombus before and had to stay in hospital for more than two months not long ago; but he went to hospital to examine it at today's morning, and the thrombus disappeared. Having understood this, we hurried to say good news, good news indeed. Mr.Chen was joyful like a child, saying continually: Yes, good news, good news.
