"You little brat, you're putting on airs, aren't you? Haven't you ever seen my Lin Li before?" Lin Sanshou picked up a book from his desk and pretended to hit him.

"Uncle-Master, that's a bit unreasonable of you. I did meet him once, but it was just a casual look. This time is different. He wants to marry my niece. Is it wrong for me to decide after meeting him?"

And my niece is planning to give up this year's college entrance exam for him.

"Give up the college entrance exam?" Lin Sanshou was stunned when he heard this.

"That's right. Although Yuanyuan didn't pass the exam last year, she has a good chance of passing this year after a year of studying. But because of this guy, she decided to give up."

To be honest, Uncle-Master, I don't know if her choice is right or wrong. I hope she can be happy, and I also hope that her choice won't lead to future regrets.

This was the first time Lin Sanshou had heard about Wang Jiayuan giving up the college entrance examination. After Li Chu said this, he felt pressured.

“I’ve never heard my husband Lin Li mention this.”

“Uncle-Master, perhaps your Lin Li doesn’t know either, or perhaps he simply doesn’t care.”

Lin Sanshou frowned and thought for a while: "No, I must ask him when I get back whether he knows about this."

Xiao Chu, let me tell you, I don't agree with this choice. Feelings are feelings, and studies are studies. Even if Yuanyuan gets into university, if they truly care, they can still be together. I must make this clear to him when I get home today; our family absolutely cannot stand in the way of their daughter's future.”

Li Chu suddenly smiled at Lin Sanshou: "Uncle-Master, thank you. I really don't want the child to regret it in the future. Moreover, I believe that a good family should help each other succeed, rather than become stumbling blocks to each other."

Lin Sanshou pressed his right hand down: "Xiao Chu, there's no need to thank me. I really didn't know there was such a thing before, but now I know. I'll talk to Lin Li about it, and you should also talk to your niece."

After leaving the outpatient hall, Li Chu slowly walked towards the administration building at the back.

Wow, Beijing is really small. I even bumped into someone I knew here.

It seems I need to talk to Wang Jiayuan about this.

If it's really this kid who's causing the trouble, then he's not a good match.

If Wang Jiayuan is love-struck, then we need to explain things to her properly.

There wasn't much to do for the rest of the afternoon, so he decided not to go back to his office and instead went to the classroom where the students were having their classes.

The class I was taking was about the basics of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the lecturer was a middle-aged doctor from the TCM department. He also had a lineage of doctors, and his mentor was a member of the health care team.

Li Chu didn't disturb the students who were in class and quietly walked in through the back door.

Dr. Song, who was on the podium, naturally saw Li Chu walk in through the back door. He was completely bewildered and felt utterly devastated.

With such a distinguished figure sitting in the audience, he didn't even know how to deliver the lecture.

The textbook used in class has been changed to the one compiled by Li Chu. Imagine how it would feel if you were lecturing while the author of this book was sitting below you.

Fortunately, I have a pretty good ability to withstand pressure. Although I was panicking inside, I managed to hold on.

Finally, get out of class ended, and Dr. Song felt his back was soaked with sweat.

The students left the classroom to take care of their personal hygiene. He put down the books on the podium and was about to go to the back when he saw Li Chu stand up and leave through the back door.

"Phew," Dr. Song looked towards the back door and let out a long sigh of relief. He was relieved that he wouldn't have to suffer through the next class.

Although he and Li Chu were of similar age, and he was even two years older, in terms of their master's status, he should actually call Li Chu "uncle-master".

But he could never bring himself to say it, not because of his age, but because he was worried that people would think he was trying to climb the social ladder. In reality, he was just shy.

Li Chu, who had already left the classroom, didn't think too much about it. He felt that Dr. Song's lecture was quite good.

Back in the office, I suddenly remembered that my future daughter-in-law had said she wanted to eat braised chicken that morning, so I took out two dressed chickens from the warehouse. Then, thinking of my family, I took out another one.

Let's invite my sister's family over too. Yesterday, my brother-in-law said that Wang Jiadong and his family of three have also moved in, so let's eat together.

After putting the three chickens in a cloth bag, Li Chu sat down in a chair and refocused his mind on the warehouse.

It has been a full thirteen years since I last signed in, starting in 1965.

The canned goods, meat, and whole chickens that I got from checking in at the warehouse are almost all gone.

Should we sign in?

I glanced at the time as I left the warehouse; it was already past four o'clock. I still had more than an hour before I had to leave work. If I signed in now, I wondered if the "ding-ding" sound would ever stop by the time I was supposed to leave.

Just thinking about that voice gave him a headache. Oh well, he might as well sign it; he had to go through this sooner or later anyway.

For the next while, his mind kept ringing with a series of "ding ding ding ding..."

With only a few minutes left before the end of the workday, he finally stopped. Without even bothering to see what rewards he had received in the warehouse, he grabbed his satchel and the bag of chickens and walked out of the office.

"Hey, why did you suddenly decide to buy chicken today?" Ding Qiunan had just gotten into the car when she saw the bag at her feet, opened it, and took a look.

"Your daughter-in-law said she wanted to eat braised chicken early this morning."

"Son..." She had only uttered one word when she realized who her husband was talking about, and chuckled softly.

"By the way, Li Chu, the organization already spoke with me this afternoon."

"Congratulations! If nothing unexpected happens, the preparatory period will begin after the public announcement period."

Ding Qiunan's face was beaming with a happy smile.

Since enlisting in the army and entering the General Hospital, she has submitted an application every year and attended countless training courses. This year, she finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

Given Li Chu's current status, it was only a matter of time before his wife was approved to join the organization. However, when that day actually came, she was still quite happy.

"Perfect timing, let's have big plate chicken tonight as a way of congratulating you."

"Hey, that's way too perfunctory."

"How can this be considered perfunctory? I cooked it myself; it shows my sincerity."

"Come on, this is something we can eat all the time. How can this be considered sincere?"

"Well……"

Li Chu thought about it and agreed. This was a big deal for his wife, and he couldn't be so casual about it.

"How about this, how about we sneak off to Old Mo's for a meal these next couple of days?"

Just the two of us?

"Okay, just the two of us, we won't bring the kids."

"Haha, the kids would be in an uproar if they found out." Ding Qiunan found the thought amusing.

Wenxuan is probably in a better position, but Wenhui will definitely be jealous.
