There were not enough thermoses, so Goudan could only find a large food box that was 30 cm wide; he put the food in bowls and plates and put it into the food box.

Zhong Yuxiu and Hao Nan had breakfast separately, one carrying a thermos bucket and the other carrying a lunch box. When they arrived at Huadu University, they delivered the things to Zhong Yuxiu's office before leaving.

As soon as they left, Zhong Yuxiu sorted herself out and went to the Academic Affairs Office to get a schedule, listing the dates of her three classes according to the schedule; she had three classes a week, the third on Monday morning, the second on Wednesday morning, and the last class on Thursday afternoon.

In order to make it easier for her to teach, the course schedule was all for the first-year class one of the Department of Physics; while making it easier for her to manage, it also allowed her to have more contact with the students in the class and select outstanding talents for training.

Principal Guo has good intentions.

Today is Wednesday, and there will be a welcome meeting for new students entering the school. Last year's welcome meeting was held, but it was postponed for many days. This year's will not be postponed again.

After remembering the course dates and time periods, this schedule was no longer of any use; Zhong Yuxiu casually stuffed it into the drawer of her desk, stood up and walked out. When she met Professor Ding outside, Zhong Yuxiu greeted him with a smile.

"Good morning, Professor Ding!"

"Professor Zhong, it's early too. Do you want to go to the Great Hall together?" Professor Ding opened the office door and looked up to ask.

Zhong Yuxiu nodded, "That's exactly what I'm going to do."

"Then let's go."

An old man and a young boy went downstairs to the Great Hall. On the way, they met some freshmen they knew and greeted them. Professor Ding nodded with a stern face as a response, while Zhong Yuxiu smiled at them and would respond if she had the right opportunity.

Outside the Great Hall, students walked in in groups of three or four; Professor Ding led Zhong Yuxiu into the Great Hall. Many professors had already arrived and taken their seats.

Some professors are busy or cannot spare the time, so there is nothing we can do and they cannot come.

"Professor Zhong and Professor Ding are here." Professor Jiang Xiangnan said expressionlessly.

When the professors heard this, they followed his gaze and looked over; Professor Ding and Zhong Yuxiu were walking side by side and had already reached the front row. They greeted them one after another, some smiling, some gently.

"Hello, professors, are we late?" Zhong Yuxiu responded one by one.

"It's not too late, it's not too late. Good food is never too late, right?" Tian Yun responded with a smile.

Professor Feng Annan, a thin, old man, smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you come a little later. The students haven't all arrived yet. The meeting is scheduled for 9:30, and it's not even 9 o'clock now."

"I'm old and weak, so if you have nothing to do, please come earlier, so that I won't be in a hurry and walk too fast, which will hurt my legs." Fang Ning smiled bitterly.

"Don't talk about you, I feel the same way! Going to the countryside has ruined my health. Now I feel uncomfortable all over when it rains. I always feel like there's dampness in my body that can't get rid of it. My whole body feels heavy and I don't know how long I can live."

If they continue talking, I'm afraid they will start talking about when they die.

Zhong Yuxiu smiled helplessly, "Senior, please don't say that. If you're feeling unwell and the dampness can't be released, you can boil some iron whip, aged mugwort, and pepper grass in water and take a bath. Soaking for a few days will help. If you want to fully recover, you still need to see a Chinese doctor who can prescribe some medicine for you."

For conditioning, Chinese medicine is still the best choice, Western medicine is not enough; many Western medicines have side effects, especially in the current social environment, there are countless Western medicines with side effects.

"Is it useful?" Professor Zheng Ning'an, who had spoken earlier, asked. He was obviously not old enough to write a notice, but his hair was already full of white. He looked very old, and there was endless worry between his brows, which showed how unhappy his life was when he went to the countryside.

"I saw it in a folk remedy book, and it can be used this way when people have a cold. If you think it's suitable, you can try it." These old veterans, despite being sick, are still working hard to serve the country and want to cultivate more talents.

Zhong Yuxiu added: "These three herbs are easy to find. They can be found in pharmacies where Chinese medicine is sold. They are not rare medicinal materials." There is no need to worry about not being able to buy them, nor is there any worry about them being too expensive to afford.

Although professors and seniors have a good life now, they have a lot to consider: their children, their affairs after death, their health is in bad shape, and they may need to spend a lot of money one day.

Let alone them, ordinary white-collar workers in later generations all lived this way. Part of the money was used for living, and part was saved; those who knew how to manage money used it for financial management, and those who didn’t put it in the bank. When they were admitted to the hospital one day, that was when the bulk of the money was spent.

"Okay, I'll go back and buy some medicine to try." Professor Zheng smiled. "If it works, I'll have to give you a good rest."

"You're too kind. It's our blessing that you're all in good health."

Professor Zheng Ningan smiled and said nothing more; the other professors wrote down the three medicinal herbs and went back to try taking a bath with them. People who have been sent down will have more or less problems of one kind or another, and dampness is definitely present.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the students who were standing closer in the back looked at each other in surprise. They realized for the first time that the professors had been suffering from illness. Minor illnesses and pains could not kill people, but the pain was endless, which was the most painful thing.

For the elderly, sudden death is a relief; they are afraid of getting a strange disease that will tire themselves and others.

As he was speaking, the time was up and all the students were present. Principal Guo walked up to the podium, delivered his speech and words of encouragement, then stepped aside to allow several arranged professors to take the stage.

After the professors came the freshman representatives, one from each class. The Physics Department class hadn't been assigned a speaker in advance, so Zhong Yuxiu felt a moment of nervousness. But then she saw that it was her class monitor, Chen Yuzhu, who took the stage. Chen Yuzhu had a strong ability to improvise, so giving a speech on the spur of the moment was no problem.

Professor Ding noticed that this freshman from the Department of Physics was a last-minute assignment and asked Zhong Yuxiu, who was standing beside him, "Didn't you arrange for him to prepare in advance?"

"No, I didn't hear any news beforehand, and I didn't think about it that way." She spread her hands, feeling helpless.

"We mentioned it at last year's conference. You weren't there then, so it's understandable that no one told you. I guess Principal Guo forgot about it this year, as I didn't hear him mention it at the meeting." Professor Ding shook his head and sighed, "We're old, and forgetful."

Zhong Yuxiu chuckled. "No problem. His name is Chen Yuzhu. He was selected as the monitor yesterday. He has the ability to adapt to emergencies and is cheerful and loves to laugh. Even though he doesn't look very good, as long as he keeps up this spirit, he will definitely be a big shot in the future."

"I can see that," Professor Ding agreed. "It shows that you have good vision and can identify a talent on the first day. I just don't know about his other abilities. If he is capable, you can observe and train him and keep him on campus."

Zhong Yuxiu seemed to be thinking about something. The issue of observing, training and staying in school has always been mentioned. Talents are scarce. Although BGI has more talents than other places, it is far from being full of talents.
