"Looks like I'm the last one again?"

While a few people were talking, Gao Yunlan had already come out of the kitchen and greeted a group of people to eat. At this time, a middle-aged man in his fifties or fifties finally arrived. He was Jiang Yuanbei, the president of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

"Brother Jiang, you are a very busy man."

Zhang Haihua joked with a smile.

"This kid Yuanbei always has a good appetite. Every time I cook, he comes on time." Gao Yunlan also joked with a smile.

"I have a miserable life, okay?"

Jiang Yuanbei smiled bitterly and said, "I was about to go out, but someone came to visit. I finally managed to get them to leave, and I hurried over."

Jiang Yuanbei smiled and bowed to Gao Yunlan and Qu Tongwen, "Teacher, Madam, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

Qu Tongwen and Gao Yunlan still each received a red envelope.

Jiang Yuanbei took it with a smile and said, "I've grown up so big, and every year I give out red envelopes to others. The only red envelope I can get back from the teacher and his wife is this."

"You talk as if no one is wrong."

Wang Xuesong also smiled and said, "Now only the teacher and his wife love us."

The red envelopes sent by Qu Tongwen and Gao Yunlan were only one hundred yuan each. This amount of money was nothing to people like Jiang Yuanbei, and it was also nothing to Yun Heng. But at the age of forty or fifty, it was really a blessing to still have people give red envelopes during the New Year.

"Brother, let me introduce you."

Zhang Haihua smiled and introduced Yun Heng to Jiang Yuanbei: "Our junior brother, Yun Heng, is also a graduate of your University of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

In fact, several of Qu Tongwen's students, including Jiang Yuanbei, Zhou Zhiquan, Wang Xuesong and Qu Tongwen's son Qu Yize, all graduated from the Provincial University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, except Zhang Haihua. Zhang Haihua graduated from the Nanzhong Provincial University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and was accepted into Qu Tongwen's school after he started working.

"Jiang...Senior Brother Jiang."

When Jiang Yuanbei walked in, Yun Heng had already stood up. As Zhang Haihua introduced him, Yun Heng hurriedly greeted him.

When facing Jiang Yuanbei, Yun Heng seemed more nervous and didn't even know what to call him appropriately.

After all, he was the president of the university where I attended for eight years. How could I not be nervous at all?

The former principal has now become his senior brother. Yun Heng feels like he is dreaming.

"Happy New Year, Junior Brother."

Jiang Yuanbei greeted Yun Heng with a smile: "Please sit down, we are brothers from now on, and we are all family."

"Yuanbei is right. We are all family. There is no need to be too formal."

Gao Yunlan smiled and said, "Everyone is almost here, let's get ready and eat first."

As he spoke, Jiang Yuanbei, Wang Xuesong and others began to help and set up another table against the wall of the living room.

Qu Tongwen usually lives with his wife and not with his son, so they usually have a small dining table. But today there are many people and the small table cannot accommodate them all.

Fortunately, Qu Tongwen's room was not small, with two bedrooms and two living rooms of over 120 square meters. Both the living room and the dining room were very large. He moved the original small dining table to the side and replaced it with a large dining table.

Some people started to get stools and some started to wipe the tables.

It can be seen that it must have been like this in previous years, with everyone helping out together.

After the table was set up, Yun Heng went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.

There were four members of Qu Yize's family, five of Yun Heng's fellow apprentices, and the old couple Qu Tongwen, a total of eleven people, and they could all fit at a large round table.

"Here I am, there is no alcohol during the Spring Festival."

Gao Yunlan brought a pot of heated ginger cola and poured it for everyone. At the same time, he said to Yun Heng with a smile: "Everyone else is used to it. If Xiaoyun drinks, I won't have any today."

"I don't drink much either." Yun Heng said hurriedly.

"Haha, drinking or not is not important, the main thing is to have fun."

Wang Xuesong smiled and said, "We can only get together here once a year. This first toast is to wish the teacher and his wife a happy new year and good health."

"I wish the teacher and his wife a happy new year and good health."

Everyone held up their glasses and toasted together.

"This second cup is to celebrate the addition of a new junior apprentice. Welcome Xiaoyun to join our big family."

"Welcome, little brother."

The group raised their glasses again.

"This third cup wishes all of us a successful career, good health, and continuous advancement in the new year..."

Since going to college, Yun Heng has not celebrated the Spring Festival with so many people for many years. This time with Qu Tongwen, Yun Heng personally felt the warmth of this big family.

Jiang Yuanbei, Wang Xuesong and others may have taken into consideration that Yun Heng was a first-time visitor and was somewhat restrained, so they took good care of him. When they were eating and talking at the table, they would ask Yun Heng from time to time, and did not just chat with themselves and ignore Yun Heng.

Moreover, when these people get together, they just chat about family matters and work. Among their fellow teachers, the one with the highest status is naturally Jiang Yuanbei, the president of the Provincial University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, followed by Wang Xuesong, who is at the level of full professor, and Zhou Zhiquan, who is at the level of chief physician and director of the department. Zhang Haihua, as the deputy director, is naturally inferior.

There are levels and gaps between the brothers, but during the chat, there is no comparison or flattery between them. Even when Jiang Yuanbei talks to Yun Heng, his junior brother, he is not arrogant and shows concern. Zhang Haihua does not seem to lack confidence when chatting with others.
