Chapter 593: Summer vacation, selfish and realistic Zhou Bingyi
"Zhou Bingkun, I'm leaving first. Remember to call me when you have time. I will take you around Yanjing."
"Okay, I'll call you then."
Wan Shibing waved goodbye to Zhou Chen, rode his bicycle, and quickly left while dragging his salute.
The weather is already very hot now, and the medical school is on summer vacation. Although it is only a month, many people have left school.
Wan Shibing is Zhou Chen's roommate in the dormitory. There are eight people in the dormitory. Wan Shibing plays the best with Zhou Chen and is also the oldest. He is twenty-nine years old this year.
There are eight people in Zhou Chen's dormitory, the youngest is twenty years old, and the oldest is twenty-nine years old, that is, Wan Shibing.
Wan Shibing is the only Yanjing native in the dormitory. His family background is excellent. His father works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and his mother is also a cadre in the system, with a high level.
For a person from such a family background, Zhou Chen was very surprised at first that he chose to study medicine instead of pursuing an official career.
But after hearing Wan Shibing explain it, he understood.
Because his parents had suffered hardships in the past few years, and as an adult, he had seen them all, so he was repelled by pursuing an official career.
The reason why he chose to study medicine was because he had a daughter who was frail and sick since childhood and suffered a lot, which made him sad as a father, so he came up with the idea of studying medicine.
The reason why Zhou Chen and Wan Shibing have a good relationship is that they are more mature than others. At the same time, they are the only people in the dormitory who are married and have children, so they naturally have more topics to talk about than others.
There are eight people in the same dormitory, three of whom are married. Except for Zhou Chen and Wan Shibing, the other one is also married, but has no children.
In addition to having a good relationship with Wan Shibing, Zhou Chen also has a good relationship with the other two people in the dormitory. As for the remaining four, they are considered friends, but their relationship with each other is a little better than that of his classmates.
Circles have always existed. Some people are destined not to be in a circle. Forcing friendships may not be a good thing. Zhou Chen knows this very well.
In addition to Wan Shibing being able to chat with Zhou Chen, what further enhanced their relationship was Zhou Chen's foreign language skills.
Different from those a few decades later, not every official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is very proficient in foreign languages. Just like Wan Shibing's father, he is very proficient in English, but his proficiency in other languages is much weaker.
Although it was a medical school, there were a lot of foreign language books. Once Zhou Chen exposed his excellent foreign language skills, which led to many classmates asking him to help translate.
After Wan Shibing learned about it, he also asked Zhou Chen to help translate many times. If he helped others translate, he would receive some benefits. For helping Wan Shibing, Zhou Chen would not receive any benefits.
After a while, the relationship between the two naturally improved.
As for making money by helping people translate, is it speculative? If it were placed in a remote place, it might really be accused of speculation.
But on a university campus, this kind of thing really doesn't matter. Everyone is a classmate, helping out and paying a fee. If anyone reports it, it will definitely be lost to everyone.
In this special period, there are only a few stupid people who can get into college. Who would do such a thankless job and be looked down upon by others?
In other words, through this small business, Zhou Chen makes more money every month than working in a publishing house.
It has been almost half a year in college. Because the special era has passed, for the sake of his next career, Zhou Chen no longer hides his weakness and gradually shows his abilities.
Although he has only been in class for half a year, his learning ability and hands-on ability have already impressed many teachers.
If in other times, Zhou Chen had mastered so many theoretical and practical abilities not long after he went to school, he would have been questioned and scrutinized to some extent.
But the admission situation is different this year. There have been no admissions for ten years. Today is the first time to apply for admission. Many medical students are admitted with arts majors, so the school teachers are not too surprised by Zhou Chen's outstanding ability.
This saves Zhou Chen a lot of time, otherwise it would be a very cumbersome process to explain.
During the one-month summer vacation, Zhou Chen did not plan to rest at home. Instead, he discussed with the school leaders and planned to go to the First Hospital of Yanjing Medical College to become an intern.
Originally, as a freshman, Zhou Chen was not qualified to be an intern in the hospital, but Zhou Chen's performance was so outstanding that the school leaders finally agreed to give Zhou Chen a chance and let him go to the hospital's emergency room.
Become an intern doctor.
The emergency department is definitely the most tiring department in the hospital, especially interns like Zhou Chen. When they arrive in the emergency department, they basically become cheap labor and are treated like slaves.
Zhou Chen didn't feel embarrassed about this. He has extraordinary medical skills, but now he is just an intern who has not graduated. It is impossible to give you preferential treatment. Being able to help in the emergency department is already a problem in this era.
It's not easy anymore.
The doctors and nurses in the emergency department didn't think highly of Zhou Chen, a student at school, but after a few days, many people looked at him with admiration.
Because in their eyes, "Ye Luzi" really has a lot of experience. Whether it is suturing wounds or diagnosing diseases, he has very rich experience. Even many old doctors feel ashamed.
Anyone with skills will be respected there. After Zhou Chen showed his skills, his life would naturally become much easier.
Except for a few people who still don't treat him as equals, most people have begun to have a good relationship with him.
After all, Zhou Chen is an excellent potential stock no matter how you look at it. He may have the opportunity to work here in the future. One more friend is better than one more opponent.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.
Zhou Chen has been staying at the First Hospital of Yanjing Medical College for more than half a month without a day off. He wakes up early every day and works night shifts every few days. He is too busy and has a very good physique.
Feeling tired.
Sure enough, although his physical fitness is more than twice that of ordinary people, in the final analysis, he is still a mortal body, and he will be tired and injured...
I was busy again until around 7pm today, and when I got home, it was already after 8pm.
As soon as he opened the door and walked into the house, Zhou Chen let out a light sigh.
"Bingkun."
Zhou Bingyi saw Zhou Chen come in, stood up from the sofa and greeted.
Zhou Chen nodded to him and turned his eyes to his left hand side.
"Sister-in-law, when did you come?"
Hao Dongmei stood up and said to Zhou Chen with a smile: "Bingkun, long time no see."
Zhou Bingyi said: "Your sister-in-law just came here today. No, I brought her to you as soon as she came. Otherwise, we would still have to spend money to go to the guest house."
Zhou Chen put down the key and walked over: "Brother, sister-in-law, have you eaten?"
"Not yet, I'm waiting for you."
Zhou Chen looked at Zheng Juan and Li Suhua. Zheng Juan said, "My mother and I asked my eldest brother and sister-in-law to eat first, but they insisted on waiting for you."
Zhou Bingyi immediately said: "I'm just thinking about having a drink with you."
Zhou Chen nodded, walked to the cabinet and took out a bottle of liquor, "Then we brothers will have a few drinks today. I happen to be quite tired recently."
Zhou Bingyi asked in surprise: "What, is it tiring to work in the hospital?"
After the summer vacation, he did not meet Ji Chun, but stayed in the dormitory. He basically came here two or three times a month, so he naturally knew about Zhou Chen's internship in the hospital.
"In the emergency department, what do you think? All the dirty work is handed over to me. From morning to get off work, I don't have a few minutes to spare."
Labor is still glorious these days, and Zhou Chen feels that he is really being squeezed. If it were one of those college-graduated interns, such high-intensity work would probably make him sick in three to five days.
Zhou Bingyi: "If you can endure it, endure it. You can go to a hospital as an intern in your freshman year, or the first hospital. Which medical student can do what you do? If you work harder at this time, it will be rewarded in the future."
Hao Dongmei also followed up and said: "Bingkun, your elder brother is right. Bingyi told me before that you went to the hospital for internship. I was very shocked. You are only a freshman."
She went to medical school herself, so she understands this industry better than Zhou Bingyi. She was able to go to a hospital as an intern as a doctor in her freshman year. Either she had strong connections behind her, or she was really capable.
Zhou Chen smiled and dismissed the topic, and asked Hao Dongmei: "Sister-in-law, are you coming here this time to go back after the summer vacation?"
"Yes, your sister-in-law has nothing to do at home, so I asked her to come over. She will trouble you during this period, and she may have to live with you."
Zhou Bingyi was a little embarrassed. Guesthouses are not cheap, and if you stay in a guesthouse, eating, drinking, and defecation will be a problem.
They have some money now, but they still need to study for a few years, so they can save as much as they can.
Although it was a bit embarrassing to live in his younger brother's house, he was not the kind of person who pretended to be big for the sake of face, and he felt that Zhou Chen was not that kind of person either.
Hao Dongmei was also paying attention to Zhou Chen's expression. In fact, she didn't agree with this plan because it made her feel like she was relying on someone else.
But after arriving today, her mother-in-law and Zheng Juan refused to let her go. Finally, Zhou Bingyi agreed to stay, and she finally let go of her embarrassment.
But if Zhou Chen showed reluctance, she would definitely not stay.
Zhou Chen's expression did not change and he said: "Of course there is no problem. In this case, Mom, Juan'er and Congcong will sleep in our room, Guangming and I will sleep in Mom's room, and brother, you and sister-in-law will sleep in the other room."
Li Suhua's room is not small, and it only has a small cabinet, so the space is relatively large, so Zhou Chen put a bunk bed in this room. Zhou Rui and Feng Yue usually sleep in this room, and sometimes they will run to follow them.
Zheng Guangming slept together.
Zhou Bingyi waved his hand quickly: "No, your sister-in-law and I can just make a bed on the floor in the living room. The weather is so hot now, so sleeping on the floor will be cooler."
Zheng Guangming said: "Brother-in-law, I'd better sleep in the living room, and let my eldest brother and sister-in-law sleep in my room."
Zheng Juan also agreed: "Yes, let Guangming sleep in the living room, and brother and sister-in-law, you sleep in the room."
Letting her younger brother Guangming sleep in the living room does not mean that she doesn't feel sorry for him. The main reason is that the family is so big and her eldest brother and sister-in-law are guests, so how can she let the guests sleep in the living room.
And she also knew that Hao Dongmei wouldn't stay long. She would sleep in the living room for more than ten days, and since it was summer and upstairs, there would definitely be no problem.
Li Suhua remained silent on the sidelines. Although she was a mother, her mentality had already changed. This family belonged to her younger son, and she felt sorry for her eldest son, but she still had to make the decision in such matters.
Zhou Chen made the final decision: "Don't argue, just do as I say, eat, eat."
Fortunately for Zheng Juan and Li Suhua, they are used to Zhou Chen taking charge of the family.
But Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei were different. They were both secretly frightened when they saw Zhou Chen being so strong, like the head of the family.
Especially Hao Dongmei, she felt that Zhou Chen's tone of voice was very similar to that of her father, with a force that was not angry but powerful and could not be rejected.
After dinner, Zhou Bingyi asked Zhou Chen: "Bingkun, do you still have the strength to go out for a walk with me?"
Zhou Chen glanced at him and knew that he had something on his mind: "Let's go downstairs to do some activities."
After saying hello, the two brothers walked downstairs and wandered around the streets of the community.
"Bingkun, I heard from my mother and Zheng Juan that you have made a lot of money recently. How did you make the money? Although the situation is much more relaxed now, you are also a college student now and have a bright future, but you must not
It’s a small thing but a big loss.”
He reminded him kindly, but Zhou Chen was quite speechless. This elder brother really likes to worry.
"I know it well, but it's you. I think you don't look right today. My sister-in-law is not just here to visit you, right?"
Zhou Bingyi looked confused and walked for a while without saying anything. Suddenly he stopped and turned to look at Zhou Chen.
"Bingkun, there is something I want to tell you."
"What?"
"Your sister-in-law can't have children."
"oh."
After Zhou Bingyi finished speaking, he was waiting for Zhou Chen's shocked reaction, but Zhou Chen's reaction was so dull, which made him a little dumbfounded.
"Bingkun, did you not hear what I was saying?"
"I heard you clearly, my sister-in-law cannot have children."
"ah?"
Zhou Bingyi was shocked: "You don't feel surprised or strange at all when you hear this?"
Zhou Chen said calmly: "Why are you surprised? I have already guessed it. My sister-in-law likes children so much. If there were no problems, you would have children long ago."
Zhou Bingyi never expected that the confidentiality work he thought he had would be useless to Zhou Chen, and his expression became unstable.
"Then why don't you think it's my problem?"
Zhou Chen glanced at him and said, "You still need to ask? If it's your problem, as my sister-in-law and her parents, can you still live a good life?"
Zhou Bingyi's face turned red when he said this: "What do you know? Your sister-in-law loves me no less than I do to her. Even if I really have a problem, she can't leave me alone. Don't treat me like a petty child."
A man’s heart measures a gentleman’s belly.”
"hehe."
Zhou Chen chuckled twice. It was not that he had any opinions about Hao Dongmei, but that he knew who the Hao couple were. If Zhou Bingyi had problems, given their character, they would not let their daughter divorce, but they would never do anything to Zhou Bingyi.
Good look.
"So, my sister-in-law came to Yanjing not only to see you, but also to see a doctor?"
Zhou Bingyi had adjusted his emotions. What Zhou Chen had just said made him very dissatisfied, but his rebuttal seemed unfounded.
"Yes, during the Chinese New Year, we left so early to see a doctor for her. Unfortunately, we visited several hospitals, found several experts, and did examinations. In the end, we were still not optimistic. She has been taking medicine.
But it still hasn’t improved.”
"Dongmei was unwilling to give in, so she came here this time. Through her mother's connections, she contacted several obstetrics and gynecology experts in Yanjing and wanted to check it carefully."
Zhou Chen nodded. If he were to see a doctor normally, he would have no problem. However, although he had learned about infertility, a specialty in reproductive medicine, he was really not very proficient in it.
In the eyes of doctors, patients do not distinguish between men and women, but this does not mean that doctors themselves do not distinguish between men and women. Zhou Chen is a doctor, but he does not specialize in the study of infertility.
To put it simply, it is not within the scope of business.
"The most professional hospital in reproductive medicine in Yanjing is probably the Third Hospital of Yanjing Medical College. Have you ever visited it?"
"The third hospital?"
Zhou Bingyi looked shocked: "Isn't the best in Yanjing the Concorde and 301?"
Zhou Chen: "That's right. In terms of comprehensiveness, they are indeed at the forefront, but that doesn't mean that each of their departments is the best. Although the Third Hospital is not as famous as them, the department of reproductive medicine is
not bad."
According to his understanding, although the Third Hospital was established relatively late, it is not weak in strength. It has a background in Yanjing Medical College, especially in reproductive medicine, and has excellent business capabilities.
Zhou Bingyi thought for a while and said: "I will go back and ask Dongmei about this later, but before that, we still have to follow the previous plan and find the experts her mother contacted. I hope there can be a solution."
This matter is a top priority for him and the Hao family. You must know that Hao Dongmei is about the same age as Zhou Bingyi and is already thirty years old. If she wants to have a child, she must do it as soon as possible.
"It's up to you. If you need my help in any way, don't be polite."
Zhou Bingyi patted Zhou Chen's shoulder gratefully: "Bingkun, you have really grown up now. Of the three children in our Zhou family, you are now the most promising and reliable."
"Actually, I told my dad about this during the Chinese New Year this year, but I didn't tell him that it was your sister-in-law who couldn't have children. I said it was my problem, so don't let this matter slip, okay?"
"I'm not the big talker, I know what you mean."
"I didn't mean to deceive our father, and I couldn't help it. Fortunately, we still have you in our family. With Ruirui and Congcong, the Zhou family's incense will not be cut off. Otherwise, I would be really unfilial.
.”
Zhou Chen knew what Zhou Bingyi was thinking. It was indeed for Hao Dongmei that he deceived Zhou Zhigang, but it was not absolute. He definitely had his own little thoughts.
Hao Dongmei's parents are both in high positions now, and he also has ambitions and ideals, so he is unwilling to lose this great supporter.
So his mood is complicated. On the one hand, he really loves Hao Dongmei, but on the other hand, he is thinking about his future.
He also knew that what he did might bring harm to his parents, but he did it anyway.
Perhaps in his heart, a child with his bloodline is not as good as Hao Dongmei and his own future.
