Back to 1992: A Self-Sufficient Life [90s]

Chen Pan's previous life was happy for the first fourteen years. Although she had no parents, her grandparents gave her abundant care and love.

But the next fifteen years were spent almos...

Chapter 97 This time she successfully landed, and next year...

Chapter 97 This time she successfully landed, and next year...

"Well, I was thinking of going to your house and looking for something your grandparents made. But it was too late yesterday, and I left early this morning, so I didn't dare contact your grandparents."

Seeing that Chen Pan seemed very satisfied, Qin Yang immediately took the opportunity to cautiously say, "Pan Pan, are your other two roommates back? I'm coming this time, do you want to invite everyone in your dormitory? Our school has the tradition of introducing boyfriends and girlfriends to each other when they come over. It should be the same here, right?"

Qin Yang's eyes were full of anticipation and temptation.

Chen Pan actually wanted to say, "Are they really a couple if they're like this?" But when she saw the other person's eyes, Chen Pan slowly nodded. "Okay, let's talk about this later. Ma Shengnan and Zhou Ziyu are both back home right now. They won't be here for two days to prepare for final exams. I'll introduce you to each other then."

"Okay!" Seeing that Chen Pan actually agreed, Qin Yang, who thought he had been dating her for four years and this was the first time he came here and was allowed to meet her roommate, immediately smiled happily.

In short, after Qin Yang came over that time, Chen Pan really took him to have fun in Beijing for several days.

To be honest, Longcheng is indeed the most economically backward place in the country.

They feel that their hometown has buildings, large shopping malls, cars, libraries, and parks, so they feel that their hometown is not bad.

But only when they come out will they discover the real gap.

Only then will they understand that the largest city library in their hometown is not as big as a school library in a developed city. They will also understand that the so-called main roads in their hometown are indeed quite narrow compared to the roads in big cities.

In fact, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that when you stay in a big city, almost everything you can access is the most advanced and convenient.

Anyway, after Qin Yang came to Beijing, even though he had been to Shenzhen and Xi'an before, he couldn't help but show a shocked expression at this time.

In the past few years, Chen Pan and Qin Yang have been very busy.

Therefore, the contact between them is actually not as much as previously imagined.

But no matter how much contact they had, every time Chen Pan returned home, as long as Qin Yang got the news in advance, he would drive to the airport to pick up Chen Pan.

Sometimes, even if Chen Pan didn't want to trouble him and didn't tell him in advance about her return, as long as Qin Yang heard the news of Chen Pan's return from somewhere else, he would rush over to see Chen Pan as soon as possible.

Their relationship seemed to have been exposed since Qin Yang impulsively shouted after the train when Chen Pan left during their freshman year. But even after the exposure, their lives didn't seem to have changed much.

But no matter what, Chen Pan has been busy with his career over the years and has not had any emotional entanglement with anyone else.

Qin Yang memorized thick books every day, learned acupuncture and pulse diagnosis, and did not attract any romantic interests outside.

They seemed to have started casually, and then got together without knowing why. But at least in the eyes of others, they were a couple.

When Qin Yang came over, Chen Pan only cooked a meal for him. Later, he felt that it was too crowded and troublesome for the two of them to stay in that small house. By the evening, Chen Pan had settled him in a hotel outside.

Except for not letting Qin Yang live with him, Chen Pan did a really good job in other things.

During those days, she not only took him to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, but also accompanied him to visit several schools he wanted to visit.

Chen Pan even took the other party to visit Beijing's more famous Chaoyang Park, Xin'an East Market, Beihai Park, Asian Games Village, Asia's largest community Tiantongyuan, etc.

Even on the night before the other party was leaving, Chen Pan took him to have a meal with several of his classmates and roommates as he had promised.

As the end of the semester approached, her classmates and friends who were busy with internships or simply staying in their hometowns finally came back.

When others asked her what she was doing recently and why she was not in the dormitory.

Chen Pan remembered his promise to Qin Yang, so he made some arrangements and took Qin Yang to meet some of his good friends.

Liu Ying: "I was wondering why Panpan hadn't been in a relationship all these years. Turns out she's been hiding someone!"

Chen Pan: "What are you talking about Tibetans? They are just very busy."

Qin Yang smiled: "I was a little busy before, but I applied for the entrance exam to the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. If I'm accepted, I can stay here for a long time. Let's play together then."

Liu Ying nodded quickly: "Okay!"

Ma Shengnan: "My hometown is in Qinghai, we are very close. If you and Panpan come to Qinghai in the future, please be sure to contact me."

Qin Yang: "Okay, if you can come to Longcheng, you are also welcome to come and see me and Panpan!"

Zhou Ziyu: "Panpan? You're calling me that so intimately. Qin Yang, have you really known each other since childhood? Are you really in a relationship? Why did I rarely hear you from Panpan before?"

"That's right, that's right. If it weren't for this time, I wouldn't have known that Panpan had a boyfriend?" Chen Pan's other two friends also nodded quickly.

"It's true. When I first met Panpan, she was only fourteen years old. Of course, she was so young at that time, and even if I had some thoughts in my heart, I didn't dare to say or do anything. I waited until we both got into college and Panpan was about to leave before I confessed my feelings to her. As for Panpan not telling everyone about me, it really has something to do with me. I was too busy at school and didn't call her often. Many times, she sent me messages or called me, and I only saw them and replied to her after class and when I left the laboratory. With the way we get along, she might be embarrassed to tell you that she has a boyfriend-"

Although he felt a little embarrassed, Qin Yang still spoke seriously about the so-called past when he and Chen Pan met and established their relationship at the dinner table.

It was not until that time that Chen Pan was truly certain that they were actually in love.

She felt that the matter between her and Qin Yang was quite funny. Anyway, seeing Qin Yang explaining seriously at the dinner table, Chen Pan laughed while holding her wine glass.

In short, both Qin Yang and Chen Pan were very happy that time.

After Qin Yang went back that time, their communication became more intimate than before.

Of course, this may be related to the fact that they now have mobile phones and can chat using digital technology.

In the first postgraduate entrance examination that year, both Qin Yang and Chen Pan finally got what they wanted.

Thanks to the fact that Longcheng was relatively remote and underdeveloped, while many places across the country required at least five years to graduate with a bachelor's degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qin Yang relied on the school's four-year tradition and system to graduate from the Medical Department of Longcheng University in just four years.

During Qin Yang's first year as a graduate student at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, he also bought a house in Beijing. Unlike Chen Pan, he didn't buy a new house near the Fourth or Fifth Ring Road. Instead, he chose a second-hand house in Chaoyang, a spacious, three-bedroom apartment of 90 square meters, priced at 4,200 yuan per square meter. Qin Yang paid in full for the house, spending a total of about 400,000 yuan.

During that period, the housing prices in Beijing were actually very strange.

At that time, the prices of second-hand houses seemed to be quite cheap.

Anyway, after Qin Yang bought a 90-square-meter, three-bedroom apartment, he later bought a 69-square-meter, newer, and even cheaper second-hand apartment in Haidian District. The price of that apartment seemed to be a little over 3,000 yuan, but in the end, Qin Yang bought it for 210,000 yuan.

When Chen Pan saw the second house he bought, he felt envious and incredible.

But she really didn't have any other big money now, and she didn't want to make any more trouble, so Chen Pan didn't make any more trouble.

Chen Pan applied for graduate school at the same university, so apart from moving into a new dormitory and replacing most of her classmates and roommates, nothing else changed in her life.

As for Qin Yang, he seemed to be discriminated against in his new school.

Later on, he seemed to be chosen by other teachers as a role model and laborer.

In other words, Qin Yang's good student temperament was really attractive. Not long after he was admitted to graduate school, Qin Yang's life became extremely busy again.

When the two of them were studying in separate universities, Chen Pan could only rely on his imagination and Qin Yang and Qin Yang's mother's gestures to roughly know how thick the books Qin Yang read were.

But now the two of them live close to each other. After seeing Qin Yang placing several professional books as heavy as bricks on the bedside table, Chen Pan said nothing and had a deeper understanding of his pity and hard work.

Anyway, during the entire postgraduate period, Chen Pan, who studied English, really didn’t feel tired or hard at all.

But Qin Yang, who studies Chinese medicine and is required by his teacher to also learn Western medicine, gives people the feeling that he is really busy and his studies are really hard and tiring.

He would occasionally complain to Chen Pan about being tired, and occasionally mutter that he didn't want to continue studying for a master's degree. But the next morning, he would still be the one to pack up and go to school and the hospital. At night, when Chen Pan was about to fall asleep, it was still him who would secretly get up and look up medical books.

Whenever anyone from either family felt a little unwell, he would actively go over to take their pulse and give them a massage, and it was he who did it.

Oh, by the way, it was during the summer vacation of my second year of graduate school.

Qin Yang and Chen Pan, encouraged by their families, decided to register their marriage.

Qin Yang's mother was doing well. When Qin Yang was a sophomore, she suddenly became pregnant. She hadn't said she knew how many years she would live, but she went ahead and gave birth to another child. After becoming a mother again, her physical and mental health seemed to improve completely. From that moment on, she no longer broached the negative topics of life and death.

After having a new family and a new child, it seemed that Qin Yang's only request was for him to get married quickly. So since Qin Yang graduated from university, she has been urging him to get married quickly.

As for Chen Pan, her grandparents did not object to her continuing her postgraduate studies.

But regarding Chen Pan's marriage, their attitude was exactly the same as Qin Yang's mother's. They also had expressions that as long as Chen Pan got married, they would be satisfied.

Considering their age, and finally at their urging, Qin Yang and Chen Pan got married in a daze.

Yes, in Chen Pan's opinion, she was confused in her love life and her marriage was also confused.

But in Qin Yang's eyes, everything about them was normal.

Chen Pan felt that her feelings for Qin Yang were just that, and that their relationship was nothing compared to the passionate and romantic feelings of the other people around them.

But Chen Pan could see that Qin Yang liked her.

Whenever the other party has time, he will call Chen Pan.

The fact that the other party decided to go to Beijing in the future when he was a freshman seems to have something to do with Chen Pan.

Even the other party bought a house in Beijing because he saw that Chen Pan liked Beijing very much.

Even when the two were discussing marriage, Qin Yang added Chen Pan's name to both of his new houses.

There is no so-called new marriage law yet. As long as Chen Pan's name is added to Qin Yang's two houses, half of them will definitely belong to Chen Pan in the future.

But even so, Qin Yang added it without hesitation.

Later, their wedding house was his 90-square-meter house. At that time, he transferred all the money to Chen Pan to redecorate and decorate it according to his own preferences.

It seemed that after seeing all this, and feeling that he didn't hate the other person, Chen Pan got married with the other person without thinking.

Because of their studies, all their household registration files are with the school.

So they got their marriage certificate in Beijing, and it was very easy to do so.

In any case, under the sidelong glances of their classmates and the secret expectations of their families in their hometown, they registered their marriage early.

After graduating from graduate school, Chen Pan did not go home immediately. At that time, she suddenly took three civil service exams.

Chen Pan did not perform well in the first Beijing exam and the second national exam.

On the contrary, Liu Ying, who took the exam with her, passed it on the first try.

This incident somewhat irritated Chen Pan, who had been doing well in recent years.

From then on, Chen Pan started to review seriously again as if he was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination.

Since December 2002, Chen Pan has been working hard.

After graduating from graduate school, Chen Pan did not look for a job immediately, but continued to stay at home every day.

Now she and Qin Yang no longer have any financial pressure. No matter what Chen Pan does, Qin Yang will fully support her.

During that time, Qin Yang even deliberately reduced his working hours and took on all the housework and purchasing work at home.

His doctoral supervisor also knew his financial situation and understood that the main reason he chose to study medicine was because he liked it, and he did not want to graduate and start making money right away.

After knowing that the threat of delaying his doctoral degree would not affect him, I could only deliberately reduce his working hours according to his wishes.

Anyway, with Chen Pan's extreme efforts and Qin Yang's full cooperation, Chen Pan took the civil service examination for the third time in her life at the age of 25.

This time she succeeded, and next year Chen Pan will be able to enter the Translation Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which she has been dreaming of for the past two years.

Yes, Chen Pan’s previous ideal was to be a teacher.

But since he was admitted to graduate school and accidentally learned about this position, Chen Pan’s current ideal has become this.

Anyway, after seeing her name on the admission list, Chen Pan understood that next year, she would really go to work in the place she had always longed for.

"Panpan, I saw your name!! Oh my god, I'm going to reserve a table right now, and I'll call a few friends, and we're going to celebrate outside!!"

Chen Pan was still holding her notebook, sitting motionless on the sofa at home in a daze. When she logged into it, Qin Yang's message popped up automatically.

Realizing that he was secretly checking the admission notice during his break, Chen Pan smiled lightly and quickly replied with an "OK".
