Chapter 16 It's Xiao Jinli's courtyard!

"The surgery was successful."

As soon as those four words were uttered, everyone's lips instinctively curled into a smile: a life.

"Alright, push it out."

"The patient is elderly and needs to be observed in the intensive care unit for 48 hours."

Old Fu took off his blood-stained gloves and looked at Chu Lulu, who was standing there in a daze.

感受到傅老的目光，楚鹿鹿也摘下手套，然后才摘下口罩，虚弱地笑了笑，比揍人难多了。

"First time in the operating room?"

Fu Lao understood that during the surgery, her reaction speed and emergency response were like those of a seasoned veteran.

Now, with his face slightly pale, he looks like a novice who has just entered the operating room.

"Yeah, I'm a little nervous."

She didn't mince words and answered very frankly.

This unvarnished frankness made Mr. Fu smile with appreciation.

"Your nervousness doesn't slow you down at all."

"Comrade Chu Lulu, do you want to go to university?"

"I can recommend you to the best medical school."

Old Master Fu truly admired Chu Lulu. At his age, he had seen too many younger generations, but Chu Lulu seemed to be born for this job.

It embodies all the qualities of an excellent doctor.

Chu Lulu took off her surgical gown and put on her own thick cotton coat. "Forget it, I'm probably not suited for studying."

"I took the college entrance examination three years ago, but I did not receive an admission notice."

Chu Dashan places great importance on his children's education. Although Chu Lulu is an adopted daughter of the Chu family, she has everything that other children have.

She went to school and took the college entrance exam.

She consistently achieved excellent grades, ranking first in her class year after year.

However, she never received an acceptance letter, and later her father's health deteriorated drastically, leaving him bedridden.

The injuries accumulated over the years, combined with the body's vulnerability, launch a counterattack.

Even after receiving her college acceptance letter, she had to stay home to take care of her father, and the college entrance exam was left unresolved.

Looking at Chu Lulu, Master Fu realized that her skill with the silver needles could not have been achieved without tens of thousands of repetitions of practice.

What year did you take the college entrance exam? Where did you register?

How are your grades usually?

How could a child who practices acupuncture so diligently not do well in school?

He didn't even get into a university?

"His grades are usually quite good; he's always been first in the class."

"I took the college entrance examination in 1980. I applied from Qingshui Village in Heilongjiang Province. At that time, I applied to Kyoto University, Medical School."

Good heavens!

Kyoto University, School of Medicine?

Old Fu had previously thought that she could at least attend a vocational college, but this girl went straight to a top-tier university.

His initial suspicions were inexplicably shaken!

"Leave your contact information so I can check your grades."

"With your talent and qualities, you are bound to have a bright future. It would be best to go to school for systematic learning. Your academic qualifications should not be a stumbling block. Your potential is limitless."

Chu Lulu knew that Old Master Fu was thinking of her.

Hearing what Old Fu said, she hesitated for a moment.

"Of course, if you really don't want to go, I can be your recommender. With your skills, you will definitely pass the medical license exam."

Thinking she was in some kind of trouble, Mr. Fu added, "I'll help her out of this predicament and give her some reassurance."

"thank you."

Chu Lulu bowed deeply, at a perfect 90-degree angle.

Old Fu was both amused and exasperated; such an honest child was a rare sight!

She quickly said, "Get up! You just had surgery, aren't you tired?"

"I'm not tired."

How can she be tired if she does what she likes?

Chu Lulu left her address with Old Fu.

Old Fu hadn't expected that Chu Lulu would actually live in the Northeast Military Region.

However, I didn't ask any further questions.

"When you get back, think carefully about my advice. At your age, the best way is still to go to university."

"If you've made up your mind, come find me here."

Mr. Fu would understand if Chu Lulu didn't go to university, but he would also be disappointed.

He had high hopes for Chu Lulu's talent and her determination to study medicine.

More importantly, it's about medical ethics.

As Chu Lulu walked out of Mr. Fu's office, she was preoccupied with her thoughts. Did she want to go to university?

think!

She has always been learning from her mother's videos, and she also wants to know how others learn, and she wants to compete with her peers in medical skills on the same platform.

But her younger sister would be coming to the military region with new recruits in the spring. She had already been missing for so many years, and she didn't want her sister to be homeless again.

Although I didn't find a job that day, I did get to perform a real surgery.

The tension and excitement made her somewhat slow to realize it.

"Comrade Chu, you're back?"

Huang Chendong stood at the entrance of the courtyard, covered with a thin layer of snow, clearly having been waiting for a while.

Chu Lulu quickened her pace, "Have you been waiting long?"

Why don't you go inside and wait?

It's not like they don't have the key, yet they're willing to freeze outside.

That's strange!

Xiao Jinli likes to stand guard. Could it be that the soldiers he leads also like to stand guard?

Lacking social skills, she was unaware of the power of rumors.

Last time a group of people came, so there was no need to hide anything.

This time, however, Huang Chendong was alone, afraid that if someone saw him, it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Comrade Chu, this is the key to the gate."

"We've tidied up inside. If there's anything that needs to be modified or is missing, just come find me at plot number three."

Huang Chendong handed the key to Chu Lulu and added, "The battalion commander asked me to have two wardrobes made the day before yesterday. They're already locked. Here are the keys to the wardrobes."

"I don't have a copy of these keys. Keep them safe and don't lose them."

He had a good impression of Chu Lulu, who was easygoing.

After all, with such a meticulous battalion commander, the sudden appearance of a carefree female comrade made him breathe a huge sigh of relief.

I just hope there won't be any more problems in the future.

Chu Lulu took the key and played with it in her hand. "Don't worry, I'll keep it safe."

"Thank you for helping me with the arrangements. I should have treated you to a meal."

"However... eating my cooking is tantamount to committing suicide by poisoning. Let me get to know the head chef in the cafeteria better before I treat you to a meal."

I blushed a little when I said those words.

She's incredibly skilled with a scalpel, but her kitchen knife just won't cooperate!

Her silver needles could pierce anywhere she pointed, but her embroidery needles could not.

They're both knives, they're both needles, but the differences are quite significant!

Huang Chendong's tense back relaxed somewhat.

The stern face lost its official formality and gained a more personal expression. "Comrade Chu, there's no need to be so polite. The military and the people are one family, and besides, you are a relative of our battalion commander."

"If you need anything, just come to plot number three and find me. I'll usually be there."

After giving his instructions, Huang Chendong quickly left.

That's really true...

What kind of leader leads what kind of soldiers.

Chu Lulu watched Huang Chendong's retreating figure and gently shook her head.

In the bare courtyard, a woodshed was built in just one day and one night, filled with chopped firewood and timber.

In one corner, there was a pile of coal.

A few clotheslines strung up in the yard give it a homey feel.

She went into the house...

Turn around and walk out the door.

Let me confirm that the gate is indeed Xiao Jinli's courtyard!
