Chapter 316 Shen Family Happy Event

The Shen family has finalized the wedding arrangements for Shen Ziming and Xu Jin.

Jiang Ning and Shen Mo's vacation is over. Jiang Ning has to go back to work, and Shen Mo has to go back to his unit.

As soon as Jiang Ning returned to Hospital 615, she was summoned to the director's office by Director Kong.

Dean Kong grinned when he saw Jiang Ning.

Just as Jiang Ning was wondering what was going on, Dean Kong pushed a newspaper off the table towards her.

Dean Kong said, "This is a newspaper from Guangzhou. Dr. Jiang, you've got our hospital in the newspaper again, and it's from another city."

Dean Kong's expression was happy, but not excited.

Although Yangcheng Daily cannot compare to Huaguo Daily and CCTV News, the more of this kind of thing, the better.

Whether it's the 615 Hospital, Jiang Ning, or promoting traditional Chinese medicine, it's all good.

After appearing in the newspaper once or twice, the novelty wears off, and few people pay attention to it anymore.

Unfortunately, Jiang Ning is someone who frequently makes the news, and now many patients come to the hospital specifically requesting treatment from traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.

Jiang Ning picked up the newspaper and looked at it. She recognized who took the photos and the article was signed by Mu Wan.

"Oh, by the way, a reporter also called me," Dean Kong said. "Wait a moment, she said she'll call you back."

Jiang Ning nodded and stayed in the dean's office.

Not long after, the phone in the dean's office rang.

Dean Kong answered the phone and confirmed who was calling before letting Jiang Ning come forward to take the call.

As soon as Jiang Ning picked up the phone, she heard Mu Wan's voice on the other end.

"Reporter Mu," she replied.

"Dr. Jiang!" Mu Wan's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.

"You've received all the photos I sent, haven't you?"

Jiang Ning politely said, "Yes, you took very good photos, thank you."

Mu Wan quickly said, "Dr. Jiang, please don't say that. I took photos of you in the earthquake zone and interviewed you. After returning to Guangzhou, our newspaper editor praised me so much that I almost got carried away. He even gave me a raise. It's all thanks to you."

"I don't know when I'll see Dr. Jiang again. I'm in Guangzhou, so if Dr. Jiang ever comes to Guangzhou, you must come and visit me!"

Mu Wan's tone was very warm, but not obsequious.

During the few days I spent in the earthquake zone, Mu Wan proved to be a friend worth having.

Jiang Ning smiled and agreed.

Jiang Ning was busy at the hospital and school, and time passed day by day.

Soon, the school also ushered in the final exams and the new graduation season.

The school starts its summer break at the end of June, but graduating seniors start their break earlier.

On June 18th, Jiang Ning was dragged by graduating students to take graduation photos as a memento.

Last year during graduation season, Dean Kong also let someone go, and this time he followed the same practice and let Jiang Ning go to school.

Nowadays, college students are guaranteed job placement, and most students are assigned jobs based on their place of origin after graduation.

Some students may consider not having their jobs assigned by the university and instead finding employment through their own families.

But medical students will follow the school's arrangements, after all, you can't just get into a hospital whenever you want.

After graduation, we went our separate ways.

After several years of getting to know each other, it's hard to part ways. Every year when Jiang Ning teaches her graduating students, she herself feels a little reluctant to leave them.

Children of this generation cherish the opportunity to study, and Jiang Ning feels a great sense of accomplishment after a year of teaching them.

So she was more than happy to be invited by the students to take graduation photos together.

After the group graduation photo was taken, some students who were able to take individual photos with me were pulled aside.

There was also a female classmate who was reluctant to part with Jiang Ning, holding her hand and saying, "Teacher Jiang, after I return to my city, I will definitely make good use of the traditional Chinese medicine knowledge you taught me!"

Traditional Chinese medicine is so vast that how much one can learn in a year depends entirely on talent.

If students are assigned to a hospital with a Traditional Chinese Medicine department, they can find a teacher there to continue their research.

But not every city has someone like Dean Kong.

Even though she has helped the nation gain some understanding of traditional Chinese medicine and reduce some prejudice, promoting traditional Chinese medicine is not something she can accomplish alone.

Seeing these students now, she sees hope for promoting traditional Chinese medicine.

These students are the hope for the future.

One person's strength is always small, but the combined strength of millions can be awe-inspiring.

This was one of the reasons why Jiang Ning agreed to teach at the school.

As the reputation of the 615 Military Hospital grew, Dr. Liu and Dr. Lü took on many students.

In the past two years, several exceptionally talented students have also learned the essence of traditional Chinese medicine.

After a few more years of serious study, I will be able to stand on my own.

After things were settled at the school, the Shen family had a joyous occasion.

On June 19th, the day before the wedding, the Shen family compound became lively, with people coming and going at the Shen family's doorstep.

They're all from the same demobilized soldiers' compound, and they're usually neighbors, so we always have to get together.

On the 19th, the Shen family borrowed eight-immortal tables and long benches from several other families, and some of the older women also volunteered to help with the banquet.

Most of the dishes are prepared the day before, and the banquet is held directly the next day.

The day before, Xu Jin dragged Jiang Ning and Shen Qianqian out to get their hair permed, and they stayed at Xu Jin's house that night.

Logically speaking, Jiang Ning and Shen Qianqian are from the husband's family, but Xu Jin's family has few descendants. Apart from Xu's father and mother, there are no other brothers or sisters to accompany her to the wedding.

That's why Jiang Ning and Shen Qianqian were arranged to stay at the Xu family ahead of schedule.

The next morning, the three women were woken up early by Xu's mother. The current custom is that the bride's family has breakfast, and the groom's family has lunch.

So we have to get up early to prepare.

The main thing is that the bride needs to dress up nicely.

With Xu's mother, Jiang Ning, and Chen Qianqian, they took great care of Xu Jin in every way.

Jiang Ning looked at the cosmetics on Xu Jin's table and even did some makeup for Xu Jin herself.

Both the Shen and Xu families had certain conditions, and these conditions made Xu Jin become extremely refined.

Xu Jin stared at herself in the mirror, looking at herself from left to right. "Ningning, you drew so well."

Shen Qianqian and Xu's mother also showered Jiang Ning with praise.

Finally, Xu's mother took out the wedding dress, which she had painstakingly sewn for her daughter over the years.

She and her father only had one daughter, and all they wanted was for her to be happy.

This dress has been around for a long time. Recently, Xu's mother has been sewing again and altering the wedding dress to the latest and most fashionable style.

The form-fitting design suits Xu Jin very well.

Her hair was styled by Xu's mother.

Xu Jin only realized now how much her mother had learned in order to send her off on her wedding day.

At eleven o'clock, the people who came to pick up the bride arrived.

Outside, firecrackers were popping and crackling, and Xu's father was busy preparing for the feast.

Shen Ziming, dressed in a custom-made Zhongshan suit, came to marry his bride.

There were supposed to be some games when they came to pick up the bride, but Xu Jin canceled them on her own initiative.

After waiting for so many years, she is finally going to marry the man she loves, Brother Shen.

She absolutely would not allow any obstacles to Brother Shen marrying her!

The Shen and Xu families lived not far apart. Shen Ziming came to Xu Jin's side and looked at the girl who had grown up in front of him.

He simply picked the person up by the waist and carried them to the Shen family's house.

The whole way there were people sighing and jeering.

Xu Jin is thick-skinned and not at all shy, greeting people along the way.

Seeing that Xu Jin didn't show any shyness like a new bride, Shen Ziming smiled helplessly to himself.
