When Zhou Chen saw his parents' eyes burning, he immediately held Zhao Yingnan's hand and introduced them to them.
Zhao Yingnan, whose hand was held by Zhou Chen, mustered up the courage and said: "Uncle, aunt, hello, my name is Zhao Yingnan."
"Gift, gift." Zhou Chen reminded in a low voice.
Zhao Yingnan reacted and quickly took out the bag in his hand, "Uncle, aunt, it's our first time meeting you. I don't know what you like, so I just bought something. I hope you don't mind, uncle and aunt."
When Zhao Yingnan walked in, Li Congping kept staring at him, wearing a white turtleneck sweater, a pink down jacket, and a smile on his face.
"Good boy, you're here as soon as you come. If you want to buy anything else, come and sit down."
Judging from the appearance, Li Congping is quite satisfied, and the child is very sensible and bought things on the first visit.
Zhao Yingnan was held by Li Congping's hand and sat down on the sofa. She was a little restless, but she breathed a sigh of relief after Zhou Chen sat next to her.
Li Congping said to Zhou Zhiming: "Hurry up and bring the dishes and prepare to eat."
Zhao Yingnan said quickly: "Uncle, aunt, I'm going to get some food."
Li Congping immediately grabbed her: "You kid, don't be so polite. Treat this place as your home. Just sit down and wait for dinner today."
Zhou Chen suddenly picked up the handbag and said to his mother: "Mom, this is the windbreaker that Yingnan bought for you. You can try it on to see the size. If it doesn't fit, we can adjust it."
"Tell me about you kids. Auntie has clothes to wear. What clothes should you buy?" Li Congping scolded.
Zhao Yingnan said: "I don't know what to buy for my aunt. I saw that the windbreaker in the mall looked pretty good, so I bought one for you. If you don't like it, we will go back and change it now."
"No need to change, no need to change, aunt likes it very much."
Li Congping took the windbreaker and took a look. She had never worn this kind of clothing before, but it looked pretty good, so she accepted it with a smile.
"These are the leather shoes I bought for my uncle." Zhao Yingnan quickly took out the leather shoes he bought for Zhou Zhiming.
"You kid, what are you talking about? Your uncle has a lot of shoes. Buying him leather shoes is a waste."
Zhou Zhiming poked his head out of the kitchen door, his mouth twitching. Do I have too many shoes? There are only two pairs of leather shoes in total. How can I waste my leather shoes?
The first meeting between Zhao Yingnan and Zhou Chen's parents can be said to be very harmonious. Although Zhao Yingnan was nervous, he still performed very well. Li Congping was very satisfied and felt that this future daughter-in-law was very powerful.
The meal took more than two hours to finish.
"Zhou Chen, what should we do about this?"
Zhao Yingnan raised the thick red envelope in her hand. Zhou Chen's mother, Li Congping, had forced it on her when she left. She didn't want to take it. She was afraid that Li Congping would be angry, so she had to accept it.
I just went out and opened it and saw that there were two thousand yuan.
In this era, what is the concept of two thousand yuan? Even in the capital Yanjing, some people with good jobs can only earn about 500 yuan a month. In the small counties below, it is even worse. One or two hundred yuan a month is considered high.
Salary.
Zhao Yingnan and Zhou Chen have been together for so long, and they know very well the situation of Zhou Chen's parents. They are two very ordinary workers. Two thousand yuan is probably a huge amount of money that they were able to save after several years of frugality.
I gave her such a big red envelope all at once, so it's strange that she wasn't nervous.
Zhou Chen said calmly: "Since it was given to me by my mother, just accept it and don't feel any psychological burden."
"How can this be done? Two thousand yuan is too much. The things I bought for my uncle and aunt were only a few hundred yuan. They gave me so much, and I really didn't dare to accept it."
"Listen to me, in our hometown, there is a rule that if a woman goes to a man's house for the first time, if the man's parents are very satisfied with her, they will give her a big red envelope. This can be said to be approval;
If the red envelope is returned, it means that the woman is dissatisfied with the man's parents and is unwilling to give the red envelope, which can be said to mean rejection."
After hearing Zhou Chen's words, Zhao Yingnan looked suspicious: "Really? Don't lie to me?"
Zhou Chen said: "Why did I lie to you? You can rest assured about the red envelope. If you still feel sorry for me, you can find opportunities to honor my parents again in the future."
Now that the words have come to this, Zhao Yingnan can only do it.
"Okay then, I'll accept it. By the way, have uncle and aunt agreed to stay in Yanjing?"
Zhou Chen: "I haven't given a reply yet, but I think they are very interested in the newsstand job. We are in Yanjing again, so they should stay; but I won't force them, after all, they have lived in their hometown for so many years.
, if you really don’t want to come here, then I will think of a way to invest in them and start a small business in my hometown.”
He sincerely hopes that his parents can stay, but he cannot force them. If they are really unwilling, he can only compromise.
As for the newsstand, he can recruit people to do it. In this era, the most indispensable thing is manpower.
However, Zhou Chen's worries were unnecessary. In the eyes of Zhou Zhiming and Li Congping, Zhou Chen was their only son and was more important than anything else.
In addition, they still have their future daughter-in-law in Yanjing, and they will continue to study in medical school for several years. They feel that it is a good choice to take care of their son and daughter-in-law in Yanjing.
So after the couple discussed it, they showed off their cards to Zhou Chen and said that they were willing to come to Yanjing, but they just needed some time to go back and arrange their work and things at home.
Zhou Chen was naturally overjoyed when he found out. Being able to have his parents come to Yanjing meant that he could see them at any time and go home for dinner at any time.
This seemingly simple thing can only be understood by those who have actually experienced it. How valuable it is.
School will soon start, and Zhou Chen has entered the learning mode again. In the new semester, there are obviously more professional courses.
Through study and understanding, Zhou Chen developed a great interest in medicine, and also learned some superficial knowledge. The main reason is that this subject is too broad and profound, and even if he studies it for a few years, he can barely get started.
After Zhou Zhiming and Li Congping returned to their hometown, they quickly settled their affairs there, quit their jobs, and rushed back to Yanjing as quickly as possible.
Two months passed in a flash.
With Zhou Chen's help, his parents quickly straightened out the newsstand. They didn't need to worry about delivery. Zhou Chen had already arranged it, and someone would deliver it every morning. In addition to newspapers, the newsstand also had magazines.
, books, etc.
The couple usually took turns, and after seeing how much money they were making, they would often drive late at night and then go back. Zhou Chen tried to persuade them many times to no avail, so he just let them go.
Every weekend, Zhou Chen would take Zhao Yingnan back for dinner, and Li Congping would fill the table every time.
Life is going smoothly, and time is passing slowly.
In the boys' dormitory, after Zhou Chen came back from home, he saw Gu Ming lying on the bed with a decadent look on his face. He didn't even react when he came back.
So he asked Xin Yi, another person in the dormitory, in confusion: "Xin Yi, what's wrong with Xiaobai? He seems to have lost his soul."
Xin Yi chuckled and said, "What else could it be because of Xiao Hong? Qiu Shui and Xiao Hong are getting along."
Zhou Chen said in astonishment: "Is this strange? The two of them have always been like that, and I have never seen Xiaobai become so decadent."
Xin Yi said: "That was before. Just yesterday, Qiu Shui announced his relationship with Xiao Hong. The two are now openly boyfriend and girlfriend. They also went out to play yesterday and haven't come back yet.
Do you think Xiaobai can not be sad?"
This made Zhou Chen even more surprised: "Why didn't Qiu Shui do it this time? He actually made the relationship public. There was no news about it before."
Xin Yi shrugged and said: "Who knows, neither of them are normal anyway. When they make it public and when they don't make it public, it's not big news. Xiaobai can't think about it himself, so don't worry about him."
Zhou Chen glanced at Gu Ming again and gave up his thoughts of comfort.
Regardless of the fact that Gu Ming has been getting along with everyone for almost two years, except for having a good relationship with a few people in their dormitory, his relationship with everyone else is average.
The main reason is that Gu Ming was born in the United States and has lived in the United States for nearly twenty years. In his heart, he somewhat despises the backward country. Otherwise, he would not have lived in the country for nearly two years and still looked ignorant of the world.
But the good thing about Gu Ming is that he doesn't hold grudges very much, which is one of the reasons why he can get along so happily with everyone.
"Where's Eucommia ulmoides and Magnolia officinalis?"
"I don't know when Eucommia ulmoides and Gu Xiaoman got together and went out to play; Magnolia officinalis hasn't gotten off work yet, so I guess it will take a while."
Houpu would work at a newsstand on weekends, which also allowed Zhou Chen's parents to have time to rest on weekends.
"Then why didn't you lick your demon knife?" Zhou Chen asked Xin Yi.
Xin Yi suddenly said angrily: "I lick your head, but you are the licking dog. This is what Yaodao and I call love, you know nothing."
The term "dog licking" was 'invented' by Zhou Chen. Now it has been widely spread in Renhe Medical College. There are two big licking dogs in their dormitory.
Xin Yi and Gu Ming.
"Okay, I don't understand what you call flirting, but you have been flirting for two years. When will Yaodao officially agree to be with you?"
The concept of love in this class is really speechless. In the past, there was Qiu Shui and Xiao Hong interacting with each other, and then there was Gu Ming, a big licker, and then there was the long-distance love race between Xin Yi and Yaodao. No, to be precise, it was a licker.
Long distance running.
Can't you just be normal?
Xin Yi chuckled and said: "With sincerity, gold and stone are opened. I feel that my good days are coming soon."
"hehe."
Zhou Chen responded with a disdainful sneer. With Yaodao's character and purpose, if they really fell in love, that would be the beginning of a nightmare. It was a good life, but what a waste.
"Xin Yi, I would like to remind you not to flatter the Demon Sword uncontrollably. Look at you now. Apart from licking the Demon Sword, you only study and have no entertainment activities at all. This is not acceptable. If you continue like this, your body will suffer.
"
As a medical student, physical examinations are required every year. Xin Yi has not found any problems so far. There should be no problems with his body now. However, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer in his last year. This does not seem reasonable.
Therefore, Zhou Chen guessed that he probably overspent his body, day and night, and consumed energy over a few years, which led to him suffering from renal granulocytic carcinoma, which eventually expanded.
I can't save him even if I want to.
Although Xin Yi licks the demon knife, he is definitely the most reliable person in the dormitory. Whenever others need his help, he will not delay it.
Zhou Chen had a very good relationship with him, so he naturally didn't want anything to happen to him, but some things didn't happen, and he couldn't do anything to remind Xin Yi. He could only temporarily remind Xin Yi to pay attention to his health.
Xin Yi said disdainfully: "I'm in good health, but you should be more restrained and don't be squeezed dry by Zhao Yingnan."
"Now you have learned from Qiu Shui, and you can make all kinds of dirty jokes."
"This is called the person who is close to the vermillion, who is red, and the one who is close to the ink, who is black. If I hang around with you all the time, it will be difficult not to stay dark."
"By the way, the final exam is coming soon. How are you preparing? This time, the squad leader mustered up all his strength and wanted to surpass you and get first place."
The semester is coming to an end and the final exam is coming, so many students are starting to get busy.
Zhou Chen said confidently: "If he wants to surpass me, he can only wait until the next life. Let alone surpass me, let's wait until he surpasses our handsome man."
Xin Yi praised: "I really admire you two. You spend so much time together every day, and your test scores are not bad every time. Comparing each other with each other is so irritating."
"Studying something like this requires a balance between work and rest, so you should relax and relax instead of struggling in the dormitory or library every day."
"I'm different from you. Our demon sword has high demands. I must help her fulfill her dream. I also can't fall behind her team. I can't do it without working hard."
Zhou Chen knew that this could not be persuaded in a day or two, so he changed the topic and asked: "Are you planning to go back during the summer vacation?"
"Why should I go back? I plan to stay in Yanjing."
Xin Yi didn't want to go back and forth. Of course, the most important thing was that he wanted to stay in Yanjing, because Yaodao's family was in Yanjing.
"The relationship is good, then we can get together more often."
"It's fine, Juju. If I run out of money, I'll still need help from a rich man like you."
"If someone else borrows money, I have to consider it, but you have absolutely no problem."
…………
Year after year, in the blink of an eye, Zhou Chen and other clinical medicine students from the Class of 1992 are graduating from their bachelor's degree and starting to study for their master's degree.
At the same time, they no longer just studied on campus, but began to practice while studying. Most of the time they studied in school, and a small amount of time practiced in Renhe Hospital, and their lives began to become busy.
For more than two years, Zhou Chen's parents have become accustomed to living in Yanjing. Except for going back to their hometown together during the Chinese New Year, they stay in Yanjing the rest of the time.
Under the operation of the two people, another newsstand was opened. Now there are two newsstands. Not to mention making a lot of money every day, but it is much better than when they were workers in their hometown.
A year ago, Zhou Chen bought the first-floor house he had booked. Not only that, he also bought the second floor.
After the decoration was completed, his parents moved directly to their new home after the expiration date of the house. As for the house on the second floor, according to his parents' wishes, it was left to him as a new house.
Although the old couple can make money now, they still live frugally as before and save all the money they make.
Over the past two years, the relationship between Zhou Chen and Zhao Yingnan has become better. Although there will be small quarrels occasionally, they will soon recover. They are very considerate of each other. They are definitely a model couple at Renhe Medical College.
.
Zhou Chen also took the time to visit her home with Zhao Yingnan and met her parents and relatives.
In addition to the fact that Lao Zhao still didn't give him a good look, Zhao Yingnan's mother, grandmother and others all liked him very much. They praised him for being young and promising, which made Zhou Chen feel a little embarrassed.
Both parents have met and have agreed to get married after graduating with a Ph.D., so the two of them are now even more inseparable.
Many other students in the class have also begun to fall in love. Some are in their own class, and some are in love with classmates from other majors. Anyway, as we grow older and see other students having sex, not many of them fall in love.
An individual can endure loneliness.
Among them, Eucommia ulmoides and Gu Xiaoman officially fell in love. Liu Tingting saw that Zhou Chen and Zhao Yingnan had a deep relationship, so she gave up her little thoughts and fell in love with Huang Qi.
There was another couple in the class, but Wu Ruixiang, a boy with some skills, managed to win over a girl from the major next door.
After starting the internship, I got a salary. Although the salary was horrifyingly low, it was not a big problem to maintain basic life. The most important thing is that after the internship, I can see a doctor, which makes progress faster than staying in school and talking on paper.
many.
Internship is also something Zhou Chen has been looking forward to. His mission is to become a great doctor, and learning can only be accumulated. If he wants to truly become a great doctor, he still has to actually treat patients.
Unlike many years later, when medical treatment relied entirely on machines, although Renhe Hospital is now the top hospital in the country, equipment is also very scarce, especially important equipment, which must be applied for before use.
In this era, medical treatment relies more on individual skills and machine assistance. Therefore, although there are relatively many misdiagnoses, it is easier to train excellent doctors.
Both master's degree studies and internships are divided into disciplines. The more than 20 students in Grade 92 clinical medicine made their own choices and chose different directions and departments.
Zhou Chen chose pediatrics without hesitation. He didn’t need to think too much because he had the god-level skill ‘Mars Language’.
With his Martian language skills, he chose pediatrics to treat children, which would definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Apart from him, there is no other person in the world who can understand the true meaning of children's babbling.
Therefore, for Zhou Chen, pediatrics is a perfect match for him, and he would choose other departments only if his brain is broken.
In addition to him, Xin Yi, Gu Ming, Xiao Hong and Yuan Baihui also chose pediatrics in their class.
When Zhao Yingnan saw Zhou Chen choose pediatrics, she originally wanted to go with Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen asked her to choose what she was interested in. She thought about it for a long time and finally chose gynecology.
Qiu Shui, Gu Xiaoman and You Yue all chose gynecology, the same department as Zhao Yingnan.
Magnolia officinalis, Astragalus and Eucommia chose the Department of Orthopedics, while Yaodao chose the Department of Neurology. Zhou Chen privately felt that this department was a good match for her.
Another good brother of Zhou Chen, Wu Ruixiang, chose internal medicine, and many of his classmates also chose internal medicine and surgery.
During his internship in the hospital, Zhou Chen really devoted himself wholeheartedly and put most of his energy into his work, which led Zhao Yingnan to complain to him several times, saying that he had begun to ignore her since the internship.
Zhou Chen was not used to this. He was just kidding. Before I became a great doctor, women would only affect my speed in treating patients.
Relying on his strong learning ability and Martian language skills, Zhou Chen quickly stood out from the crowd of interns. Especially when it came to consulting children under three years old, Zhou Chen was simply more accurate than the senior doctors, allowing the interns to
His deputy director of pediatrics was very surprised and took him more seriously.
In order to complete the task as quickly as possible and learn more professional knowledge, Zhou Chen showed no intention of hiding his clumsiness and showed his best side.
Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.
Although this sentence is correct, Zhou Chen is not afraid at all. In the doctor's profession, one has to rely on his or her ability to speak for itself in the end.
What's more, in terms of background, he is not afraid. His future father-in-law has just been promoted to a major general, a senior-level officer with real power, and ordinary tricksters really don't dare to find him.
For more than four consecutive years, Houpu has been chasing Zhou Chen, but unfortunately he has not succeeded once. After his internship, he wanted to surpass Zhou Chen in the hospital.
But seeing that Zhou Chen was getting more and more attention in the pediatric department, the old director always took Zhou Chen with him during ward rounds and guided him step by step.
People who don't know, may think that Zhou Chen is the illegitimate son of the old director of pediatrics.
And Zhou Chen did not live up to his teacher's expectations. He made rapid progress and soon made a name for himself in the pediatric department. Many people who brought their children to see the doctor would appoint Zhou Chen to see him.
Two years later, when Zhou Chen graduated with a master's degree, he had become a well-known pediatrician at Renhe Hospital.
Normally, a doctor with a master's degree has a very high academic qualification, but in Renhe Hospital, many doctors graduated from Renhe Medical College, and there are definitely a few doctoral students, so there is no mention of master's degree students.
But Zhou Chenling relied on his incomprehensible Martian language skills to stand out from countless pediatricians and became a prominent figure in the 92nd Renhe Medical College. Even his superiors praised him many times.
In two years, he went from a bachelor's degree to a master's degree. After eight years of continuous study, only the last two years are left. Once he graduates, he will be a doctor.
Graduation couldn't be easier for Zhou Chen. He ranks first every year and got straight A's during his internship. To put it bluntly, even if he doesn't study much in the future, he can successfully become a doctor.
Although he is now a well-known pediatrician in the hospital, he is still not far away from reaching the level of a senior doctor required for his mission. A conservative estimate would take him more than ten years.
This is only if everything goes well. If everything goes wrong, it could take 20 to 30 years, or even more. Therefore, Zhou Chen is not in a hurry, but is patiently learning and accumulating experience.
