Chapter 372 Human Nature
Halfway through the run, Shang Xingzhou saw that everyone was carrying backpacks, so he quickly ran back to the dormitory, packed his backpack, and returned to the training ground. The entire brigade of officers and soldiers had already assembled, and Zhou Xiye was standing on the platform with his hands behind his back.
Shang Xingzhou was stunned, not knowing what had happened or why the entire squadron had suddenly been mobilized.
After the team assembled, Zhou Xiye gave a speech.
Shang Xingzhou, standing at the back, didn't hear very clearly, only vaguely hearing that a great battle was imminent... that one must not be afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice... that one must be willing to die for the cause...
Even from those few fragmented sentences, Shang Xingzhou was already fired up and followed the group onto the bus.
After getting on the bus, he couldn't help but ask the squadron leader next to him, "Where are we going?"
The company commander merely glanced at him: "Keep it a secret."
Shang Xingzhou chuckled twice, sensing that war was about to break out, and a faint sense of anticipation filled his heart!
He must perform meritorious service to return home!
...
Jiang Zhizhi found some time to take the notes she had compiled to Jin Huaiying.
Jin Huaiying flipped through a few pages, closed the book, and smiled at Jiang Zhizhi: "You're quite the action-taker; you've already organized and analyzed the data from all these years in such a short time."
Jiang Zhizhi said with some regret: "The hospital's data is limited, and a lot of it was destroyed in previous years. This is all the data we can find. I have also summarized several common childhood diseases."
Jin Huaiying nodded: "That's right. I also attended the medical conference this time and raised issues about childhood diseases and drug development. A research and development team should be established soon. You can participate as my student."
Jiang Zhizhi was a little excited: "That's great, thank you, teacher."
Jin Huaiying waved her hand and smiled, "No need to thank me, it's because you are excellent enough. Also, the school is short of teachers right now. Would you be interested in coming to the school to be a teacher? It won't affect your work at the hospital. You can just come to the school to teach a few classes whenever you have time."
Jiang Zhizhi readily agreed: "I would like to, but I just graduated and I'm not qualified enough yet."
Jin Huaiying shook her head: "You're already very capable. Your achievements are a role model for these students. The school also lacks young teachers like you. Also, don't neglect your studies in traditional Chinese medicine."
Jiang Zhizhi was a little embarrassed by the praise: "If I could, I would also like to give it a try. Speaking of traditional Chinese medicine, my Shangshang has been catching toads a lot lately..."
He then recounted what Shangshang had been doing recently, and couldn't help but laugh as he finished, saying, "Shangshang is so daring. I was just worried that these things might be poisonous and accidentally get into her eyes or mouth."
Jin Huaiying was also surprised after hearing this: "Shangshang is such a brave girl. She probably has some special scent that attracts these things."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhizhi's heart skipped a beat: "What kind of special smell?"
Jin Huaiying raised her hand: "Don't be nervous. It's normal for everyone to have a different body odor. If Shangshang still has this ability when she grows up, she can go and learn some medical skills from Yunnan."
Jiang Zhizhi didn't think that far ahead: "I'm just afraid that if she keeps doing this, she'll hurt herself."
Jin Huaiying pondered for a moment: "In a little while, I'll write a prescription. You grind these herbs into powder, put them in a sachet, and have Shangshang carry it with her."
As she was speaking, Jin Huaiying suddenly coughed violently, her face turning red, as if she couldn't catch her breath.
Jiang Zhizhi quickly stepped forward, patted Jin Huaiying's back, and busied herself pouring water: "Why are you coughing so badly all of a sudden?"
Jin Huaiying coughed so hard he couldn't speak. He waved his hand to tell Jiang Zhizhi not to worry, then placed his hand in front of Jiang Zhizhi so she could take his pulse.
Jiang Zhizhi hurriedly sat down, placed her hand on Jin Huaiying's pulse, and frowned as she began to take her pulse.
As Jin Huaiying coughed violently in waves, her pulse was sometimes rapid and sometimes weak and slow.
A moment later, Jiang Zhizhi withdrew her hand and looked at Jin Huaiying with a complicated expression: "Teacher, this is a relapse of your old illness. Your lung problem is quite serious. Have you taken your medicine?"
After resting for a while, Jin Huaiying felt much better. She picked up her teacup, took a few sips, and then looked at Jiang Zhizhi: "Did you remember today's pulse?"
Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "I've remembered it clearly."
Jin Huaiying was very satisfied: "It's good that you remember it clearly. I've had this lung disease for a long time, and there's no better way to treat it now. Please come and check on me once a week from now on and record the changes in my pulse."
Jiang Zhizhi frowned: "Teacher, aren't you taking any medication? Or are you considering surgery?"
Jin Huaiying waved her hand: "I am well aware of my illness. Taking medicine can only relieve the discomfort, but it cannot change the course of the disease."
Jiang Zhizhi hesitated for a moment: "Moreover... Teacher, your pulse indicates not only a problem with your lungs, but also that your heart is not in good condition due to excessive thinking."
Jin Huaiying looked at Jiang Zhizhi with some surprise, then laughed: "Not bad, not bad, you've made great progress, you can even diagnose this."
After saying that, he sighed heavily, and the smile on his face disappeared: "I guess I'm getting old. Sometimes I think about my children."
Jiang Zhizhi blinked, somewhat surprised: "Children? Don't you and your teacher's wife only have one child?"
Jin Huaiying shook her head, her face filled with sorrow and regret: "I had a previous marriage and three children. Later, I divorced my ex-wife to study abroad. She took the three children and left Beijing. I don't know where she went."
“I was young at the time, and I was also a bit arrogant and conceited. I felt that I was cultured and couldn’t live with a woman who was uncultured for the rest of my life. After the child was born, I felt like I had just completed the task of carrying on the family line.”
"After remarrying, and only now... do I realize how foolish I was when I was young, wasting a girl's youth."
"So, I deserve to be all alone today."
Jiang Zhizhi was surprised to learn that Jin Huaiying had such a past, and for a moment she didn't know how to comment on it.
In Jin Huaiying's words, he was a real scoundrel when he was young. If he couldn't stand his uneducated wife, he shouldn't have gotten married in the first place.
On one hand, he criticizes others for being uncultured, but on the other hand, he sleeps with them and makes them have children.
That's really awful!
Seeing that Jiang Zhizhi didn't speak, Jin Huaiying smiled and said, "It's getting late. You should go back and see your child. I'll keep an eye on the research group's affairs for you."
Jiang Zhizhi said goodbye with mixed feelings. As she left the school, she was still thinking that Jin Huaiying was very qualified as a teacher and a doctor, but as a husband and father, he was truly...
As I walked and thought, I looked up and saw that baseball cap again at the hospital entrance.
This time the distance was a bit closer, but the man had pulled his baseball cap down very low, so you couldn't see his eyes. You could only see his mouth and chin, and his scraggly beard.
Jiang Zhizhi was now certain that the man was after her, but she didn't recognize him...
