Seeing how delicious she was eating, Old Master Yan also became interested in the mixed noodles. "Yuxiu, are the mixed noodles delicious?"

"It's delicious. The noodles mixed by Goudan are well-seasoned and very tasty." Nothing Goudan cooks is bad.

"In that case, give me a bowl too." He pushed the bowl in front of her.

Zhong Yuxiu nodded, picked up the serving chopsticks in the mixing bowl and picked up a bowl for him. "Grandpa, try it too and see if it suits your taste. If you like it, come often in the future and let Goudan make it for you."

Old Master Yan agreed with a smile, and after taking a long sip, he praised it highly. "It tastes good, very delicious. It leaves a lingering fragrance in the mouth. Are there crushed peanuts in it? It seems to have the aroma of sesame seeds as well."

"Yes." Yuxiu nodded. Old Master Yan said, "There are indeed a lot of seasoning ingredients. I think it will be troublesome to make."

"It's not a big deal. The noodles are made by Goudan, and I have some seasonings on hand. The only things I need to stir-fry are the peanuts and sesame seeds."

Mr. Yan said, "That's fine."

Zhong Yuxiu smiled and saw that he had almost finished eating. There was not much noodles in a small bowl to begin with; she picked up another piece of noodles for the old man with her chopsticks.

"If you like it, come often. When you come, let Goudan make it for you. It can also make fish salad. The fish salad is sour and sweet, without any fishy smell. I think you will like it too."

"Okay, you'll have to come and eat more often in the future." Since his granddaughter-in-law was pregnant, he had to come and see her often; when his great-grandson was born, he would come even more often.

After breakfast, Mr. Yan went to work, and Zhong Yuxiu had some free time to hand in her things. It was Friday, and she had no classes in the morning, so she didn't have to go to Huazhong University of Science and Technology or the Medical University, and she could stay at home peacefully the whole morning.

Goudan brought her some hot juice and snacks to help her pass the time.

Eating snacks and drinking juice, she didn't want to move when she was free; when Yan Rushan came back at noon, Zhong Yuxiu didn't move once and sat there for half the morning.

"Wife, I'm back and I brought you something delicious." Yan Rushan hurried into the house and saw her curled up on the sofa leisurely. His heart softened. "Yuxiu, I brought you something delicious."

"What's delicious?" She sat up straight, her starry eyes full of anticipation.

He walked over to her and squatted down. He opened the cloth bag he had brought back and took out a black jar from it. The surface of the jar was smooth and clean. Yan Rushan held it out to her and said, "Take a look."

Zhong Yuxiu took it and opened it. A sweet and sour fruit aroma wafted out. "It smells so good. Is it jam or preserved fruit?"

"Jam." Seeing her happy, he also smiled. "This time we brought back a lot of blueberry, strawberry, and plum jams, as well as canned yellow peaches, oranges, and juicy peaches. They're all here. I brought a lot for you."

He lifted the bag and showed it to her by pulling the opening.

"So many." A quick glance revealed at least two cans; the cans were different colors, presumably to match the types of fruit. "How long can they keep?"

"Five days, so you have to eat them all within five days."

The joy in Zhong Yuxiu's eyes faded, and she felt as if she had been hit hard. "Five days? You can't finish five cans a day."

"Five cans is too few. There are many kinds of canned food and jam, but the quantity is not very large. If you eat one can a day, you can finish it in a few days." Yan Rushan said seriously. Zhong Yuxiu wanted to roll her eyes when she heard it. "That's too much. You can't eat jam and canned food as meals, right?"

Yan Rushan said, "You can let Goudan make some jam with bread or spread it on steamed buns. There's not much jam in a jar, and even less in a can. Don't worry, you'll definitely be able to finish it."

No, she felt like going crazy.

Haonan and Tian Shangguo brought him a cup of hot water, and also a plate of oranges and banana chunks. The oranges were peeled, even the outer skin was removed.

"Comrade Yan, please have some tea."

"Thank you." Yan Rushan took the tea and put it aside. "What are you having for lunch? Is Goudan ready?"

"It's being prepared. Comrade Zhong can't eat meat, so Goudan made some vegetarian dishes for him." Tian Shangguo said.

Haonan echoed, "Goudan also stewed some minced meat for Comrade Zhong, but I'm not sure if Comrade Zhong can eat it."

"I'll go take a look." Yan Rushan put the food in front of her. "Yuxiu, take it and eat it. Start today, and then bring back some more canned food and jam later."

After the three men left, Zhong Yuxiu looked at the bag of canned food and didn't know what to say. On the one hand, she was grateful for his kindness, but on the other hand, she was embarrassed.

She counted them and found that there were three kinds of jam, three cans of each; there were also three kinds of canned food, five cans of each. That made a total of twenty-one cans. If she counted five cans a day, how would she account for the remaining can?

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhong Yuxiu suddenly had an idea and smiled; there was no trace of sadness in her heart.

"It's time to eat, Yuxiu. Come on, I'll take you to wash your hands."

When Yan Rushan came back, he carefully protected her, as if he was afraid that something might happen to her; Zhong Yuxiu had said it twice but it was useless, so she just let him do it.

After lunch, she didn't touch any meat or vegetables, she only ate vegetables; after the meal, she ate some canned food, which barely made her feel full. She took a two-hour nap at noon, and after waking up, she took Haonan and Tian Shangguo to Hua University.

Yan Rushan went out to work as usual, and at the same time looked for something that could nourish her body.

When I walked into Huazhong University, it was just the end of the get out of class. Students were coming and going, and many of them recognized Zhong Yuxiu, a prominent figure in Huazhong University. She had taken off in the first semester, leaving all her classmates far behind. Others could not catch up and could only look up to her.

Today, she is a professor with great achievements; her classmates are still students, still striving for a happy future.

As a result, her name is well-known to the new students of Huazhong University of Science and Technology; the person praised by the seniors of the previous two classes must be good, and the person who can hold a professorship at a young age and have a secure lifelong future is worthy of their admiration.

"Hello, Professor Zhong."

"Hello, Professor Zhong. It's been a while since I last saw you."

"Professor Zhong, are you coming to the second-year physics class today?"

Students coming and going kept greeting her, and Zhong Yuxiu responded with a smile one by one. She was not in a hurry and walked slowly. Along the way, she basically took care of every student who greeted her.

When I walked into the teachers' building, my ears finally quieted down.

When she passed by Professor Ding's office, she found the door open and Professor Ding was meeting a guest, so she did not go in; instead, she went straight back to her office. There was a thin layer of dust inside, and she had to clean it up again.

If they worked together and finished cleaning before the third class, she would be able to relax a little.

She finished her class first. The students hadn't seen her for a long time and asked many questions that had accumulated during this period. Some students also asked her worriedly if she was not feeling well. She had not taught them for basically two months, and her classes were always taught by other professors.

Zhong Yuxiu patiently chatted with them, explaining what needed to be explained and chatting with them enthusiastically. No one left the classroom after school. When it was almost time for dinner and the cafeteria was about to open, Zhong Yuxiu let them go.
