Sheng An Ning really didn't notice it. She was busy pouring tea for everyone and helping in the kitchen. She shook her head and said, "I didn't see it."

Then, Zhou Hongyun and Zhong Wenqing started talking about Brother Zhou Nanguang's family.

Sheng Anning has always known that the Zhou family has many relatives. Zhou Nanguang has several brothers and sisters, as well as cousins, but very few of them are in Beijing.

Some of Zhou Nanguang’s brothers serve as counselors abroad, while others work in the south. His children also work in different positions and have decent jobs.

Moreover, even during those turbulent times, the Zhou family was not greatly affected.

Zhou Shuanglu prefers Zhou Nanguang more, and his grandchildren also like Zhou Luancheng, as well as Zhou Shixun now, because they have inherited their father's business and have all served in the army.

If you think about it carefully, the Zhou family members are actually quite good, but there are one or two things that are not satisfactory.

In a word, in daily life, who doesn’t have ash at the bottom of the pot?

Zhou Jinghong and his wife Han Mei, whom Zhou Hongyun and Zhong Wenqing talked about, are the unhappy ones.

Sheng An Ning still likes to listen to these things, because the era she is experiencing now makes her more curious about things in the past.

Sitting nearby, peeling melon seeds and feeding them to An An who came running over with her mouth open from time to time, Zhou Hongyun was listening to Zhou Jinghong's family affairs: "Jinghong is the same. I didn't think highly of him and Han Mei at first, but they insisted on getting married. When they went to work in the countryside, didn't Han Mei even want a divorce? Later, when Jinghong came back, he could only go to work in Pinggu, but Han Mei thought it was too far and that place was in the countryside so she wouldn't go there."

"After so many years, the two of them don't even have a child. What will they do in the future?"

Zhong Wenqing also sighed: "Jinghong is a child I watched grow up. Among these brothers and sisters, he is the most honest."

Zhou Hongyun snorted: "Marry a virtuous wife, look at the two in my family. So, it will be enough for my eldest brother's family to worry about in the future."

Sheng Anning listened for a while, and felt that there was no particularly important information, so she went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Originally, Sheng An Ning thought that they were unrelated people who didn't have much interaction in normal times and who they could only see once during the Chinese New Year, so she didn't take them seriously.

But she didn't expect that the next day, Dr. Pei called her and said that he had discovered a case during the consultation, a textbook case, and asked her to come over and take a look.

Sheng Anning was quite surprised. During the holiday, Mr. Pei said that there would be nothing to do during the Chinese New Year, so she didn't need to go to the laboratory or go to his office to see him, and could just have a good New Year.

Let’s talk about everything after school starts.

Since Mr. Pei called at this time, it means that this case is very special and typical.

They are studying tumors. Sheng Anning hung up the phone, but he still felt heavy for the patient. It's New Year's Day, and knowing such news, I can't have a good year.

After saying goodbye to Zhong Wenqing and Zhou Hongyun, he changed his clothes and hurried out.

On the road, there are more people carrying New Year's goods and visiting relatives and friends.

Sheng An Ning particularly liked this atmosphere. She didn't have time to watch it at the moment, so she ran to the Cancer Hospital in one breath.

Mr. Pei and several hospital experts were already there, as were several students studying with Sheng An Ning, and they were discussing the film.

Sheng An Ning put on her white coat carefully and looked at the film hanging on the wall through the gap.

The patient's tumor also grew in the brain. If it were left to be treated in the future, it would be easy to treat. But now, it is more difficult to treat than Zhong Wenqing's tumor.

Sheng An Ning watched carefully with great interest, wondering if she could complete the operation.

Other doctors proposed several treatment options, but they were all rejected by Dr. Pei: "The patient has other diseases and long-term malnutrition, so he is not suitable for surgery."

"But without surgery, the patient's life expectancy is only half a year."

"What if conservative treatment is used?"

Sheng Anning had little experience and was still a student, so she had no chance to speak. She just looked at the film silently and then looked at the case on the table.

The patient's name was Han Mei, thirty-six years old.

This coincidence made Sheng An Ning a little unbelievable. She looked again carefully. Could it really be her cousin's wife Han Mei? The person who was a guest at home yesterday?

Finally, two plans were developed, but they could only be confirmed after the patient underwent another systematic examination.

After the discussion, we will discuss it with the patient's family.

What surprised Sheng An Ning was that Han Mei came to see the doctor alone, without any family members accompanying her.

Her attending doctor called Han Mei over, and seeing that there was no one around her, he asked gently, "Are you accompanied by a family member? We want to talk to your family."

Han Mei was very calm: "It's okay, just tell me if you have anything."

Sheng An Ning was still standing aside, but shouldn't the attending doctor be left alone at such an unexpected time? With so many people watching here, it put a lot of pressure on the patient.

Even if it is a minor problem, with so many people around, it can easily cause a lot of pressure on people.

But the people around him didn't move, so Sheng An Ning thought that this might have become a habit.

The doctor still advised Han Mei gently: "I told you before that if you want to have surgery for your disease, you need your family's consent, so please ask your family to come."

Han Mei hadn't noticed that Sheng Anning was also among the group of doctors, mainly because they were all wearing white coats and gauze masks. She still looked indifferent: "I don't have any family. If anything needs to be done, I'll just sign it."

The doctor felt helpless and turned to look at Mr. Pei, not knowing whether to tell Han Mei the truth.

Han Mei remained calm: "I had a check-up before the New Year and was transferred to the Cancer Hospital. I knew what was wrong with me. I came here two days ago. If you have any questions, just tell me directly. If it is malignant, I will choose not to treat it."

The doctor comforted Han Mei: "Don't worry, we need further tests to confirm. We want to find your family now to confirm the surgical plan."

Han Mei frowned: "You can discuss it with me."

After he finished speaking, he looked up and suddenly saw Sheng An Ning. He stared at her carefully for a while before confirming that it was Sheng An Ning. He pursed his lips and suddenly stopped talking.

The doctor advised her a few more times, but Han Mei said nothing. Finally, she said helplessly: "Then you go back and rest first."

This time, Han Mei didn't say that I had no family. She was silent for a while, then stood up and left quietly.

Sheng An Ning listened for a while, and waited for Mr. Pei to leave before following him out.

Mr. Pei even specially kept Sheng An Ning to discuss Han Mei's condition with her. It was called a discussion, but in fact, Mr. Pei was explaining it to her in great detail.

Although Sheng An Ning understood everything, she still listened to Mr. Pei with an open mind. Combining it with the current medical environment, she had a very different understanding.

With this delay, time passed by unknowingly.

When Sheng An Ning came out, the sun had already set and the sky was getting dark.

What Sheng An Ning didn't expect was that Han Mei was still waiting for her at the hospital entrance.
