Chapter 229 Notice
Around 2 p.m., not long after Chen Chuan came back from dinner, he heard a familiar knock on the dormitory door. He walked over to open the door and saw Cheng Zitong standing outside with a smile on his face.
How should I put it? It's no exaggeration to say that she looks radiant. Her face really seems to be glowing.
His heart moved slightly, and he called out "Teacher" and welcomed the person in.
Cheng Zitong walked in with his briefcase under his arm and said with a smile, "Xiaochuan, the teacher came here today to tell you that your application for a place in the Central City has been approved by the main hospital."
Although Chen Chuan had been mentally prepared, he still felt an irrepressible joy in his heart after hearing it.
Cheng Zitong smiled and said, "When I received the news this morning, I wanted to inform you immediately, but you happened to be out for lunch, so I waited for you to come back."
Chen Chuan said sincerely, "I'm really sorry to bother you, teacher."
"No trouble, no trouble. With this good news, teacher, I have to eat a few more bowls of rice. Look, I just came out of the cafeteria."
Cheng Zitong touched his round belly, sat down on the sofa, took out the list from his briefcase, and handed it to him, "Come, take a look."
Chen Chuan took the form. It read, "After verification by Wuyi General Hospital and the processing bureau, this student has met all the admission requirements. He is hereby approved to attend the General Hospital. This approval will take effect from the date the student receives and is notified."
Following it are the seals of Wuyi General Hospital, the Processing Bureau, the Review Committee, and the signatures of relevant persons in charge, a long list of more than a dozen names.
This is just a piece of light paper, but for so many years, it has blocked most mathematicians outside the central city, making it out of reach.
Now, he has it in his hands, holding the turning point of fate.
After reading it twice, he looked up and said, "Teacher, it says it's effective from the day we receive the notice. Does that mean students can go to Central City now?"
Cheng Zitong nodded and said, "That's right. Now that you have the notice, you can go to Central City anytime. However, this semester is coming to an end, and there are many things to do at the end of the year, including Central City. It would be a bit hasty to go now."
So the teacher suggests that you don't have to rush and just wait until after the Chinese New Year to go. You might have to stay for a long time, so you should take some time to prepare and take care of your things. "
Chen Chuan nodded.
Cheng Zitong smiled again as he took out a stack of tickets from his briefcase and placed them on the table. "These are the tickets for this year's college competition. The teacher reserved them for you."
Chen Chuan said without hesitation, "Thank you, teacher."
"Okay, go do your thing. I'll be leaving first, teacher. It's almost the end of the year and I have a lot of things to do. I was so busy having fun today that I left them all there."
Cheng Zitong put on his decorative glasses, stood up and walked out, humming a tune with a brisk pace. It seemed that he was really happy today.
After Chen Chuan sent him away, he came back and picked up the notice. He felt that this matter should be shared with his family as soon as possible. After thinking about it, he went to the closet to get the shoulder bag that had not been used for a long time and put the notice in it.
Then he changed his clothes, slung his bag over his shoulder, walked down from the dormitory building and went outside. Although it was a little chilly in winter, the sunlight was bright and dazzling, and it felt warm on people.
He took his bicycle from the carport, got on it, and headed back home. When he was leaving the campus, the students who saw him greeted him and he responded to them one by one. After leaving the school, he sped up and rode back home in one breath.
He parked the car in the yard and walked into the room. It was a holiday, and the whole family was there. Nian Fuli was playing the radio, tapping his fingers to the rhythm, nodding his head to the opera. His cousins were playing with building blocks. Yu Wan was knitting a sweater. Seeing him come in, she said happily, "Chan'er is back. Have you eaten yet?"
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Aunt, I've eaten."
Yu Wan smiled and said, "There's nothing to do at school, right? If not, stay home and eat tonight."
Chen Chuan said, "Okay."
Yu Wan continued knitting.
"Aunt." Chen Chuan called softly.
Yu Wan raised her head.
Chen Chuan looked at Nian Fuli again and said, "Uncle." He took off his shoulder bag, walked a few steps, and put it on the table. Seeing this, Nian Fuli unconsciously reached out to turn down the volume of the radio.
Chen Chuan took out the notice and handed it to Yu Wan. "Aunt, this is the admission notice for Wuyi Hospital in Central City. I will be attending the hospital next."
"Central City..."
Yu Wan was a little confused at first, but then seemed to realize something and hurriedly reached out to pick up the notice with both hands. However, halfway through, she wiped it on her apron before carefully taking it.
When she saw the line of text on the notice, at that moment, she felt both genuine joy and a sense of having lost something in an instant, and tears flowed from her eyes.
Nian Fuli stood up, walked over to Yu Wan, and put his arm around her shoulders. He glanced at the notice and said, "Central City..."
He chuckled and said, "When I was in the army, my old company commander always told me that his biggest wish before joining the army was to go to Central City and see the world. Xiaochuan, you were able to get into Wuhan University, which was like putting gold bricks in your pocket. Now that you're in Central City, you're using gold bricks as a stepping stone." He squeezed Yu Wan's shoulders and said, "Yu Wan, your child has made great progress. You should be happy."
Yu Wan wiped away her tears and said, "Yes, you should be happy. Chan'er, whatever you want to eat, your aunt will make it for you."
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "I've eaten a lot of delicious food at school and outside, but my favorite is the chicken soup you made, auntie."
"Hey..." Yu Wan stood up and wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand. "Auntie will make it for you right away."
Nian Fuli then said, "As long as it's a day off, whether you come back or not, your aunt will definitely buy a chicken and stew it."
Chen Chuan hummed, then took out the ticket Cheng Zitong had given him from his bag and handed it over, "Uncle, this is the ticket for this year's competition."
"nice one."
Nian Fuli took it. Even though he was the team leader, he couldn't get this thing. Unfortunately, he was promoted to a higher level, so it was not convenient for him to show off to Wei Lao Hu.
Chen Chuan looked at his cousins and said, "Come on, I'll take you out to play today."
“Ohhh…”
The two little guys didn't quite understand what was just said, but when they heard this, they shouted with joy, ran to Chen Chuan, grabbed his trouser legs and looked at Nian Fuli eagerly.
Nian Fuli waved his hand and said, "Go and play, follow your cousin."
"Oh, let's go play..."
Chen Chuan bent down, opened the door, and walked out with the two little guys in his arms.
Nian Fuli followed out and watched Chen Chuan leading the two jumping little guys out of the yard. Yu Wan also came out at this time and stood there watching.
Nian Fuli then said, "When we first brought Xiao Chuan back, he was about the same age as Xiao Lu and Xiao Mo, right?"
"Well, he was very young then."
Nian Fuli thought for a moment and said, "Xiaochuan was young back then. How long has it been? It feels like the blink of an eye, and it's time for him to spread his wings and fly high."
"I thought of my second sister. She also left very far away back then. I hope Xiao Chuan doesn't follow in her footsteps."
Nian Fuli said: "The biography is different. This kid has his own ideas."
Yu Wan hummed. She looked at the swaying branches outside the yard, crossed her arms, and said absentmindedly, "When I was little, my mother told me that in the eyes of adults, children are like kites in the sky. They watch them fly into the sky, but the string they hold in their hands can never be let go."
Nian Fuli turned around to block the wind, repeatedly motioning inside with his hands, and said, "Alright, go back inside. It's cold outside. Don't stand here. The children are grown up and will each have their own way of living. You don't need to worry too much about them."
Chen Chuan took the two little ones to a nearby children's playground, played with them for an entire afternoon, and bought them a lot of snacks.
When he came out, Nian Mo licked the candied haws in his hand, looked up and said, "Cousin, are you going on a long trip? You won't be back for a long time?"
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "You also know this?"
"Qian'er was like this when he went away. He took us out to play for a long time, but he never came back."
Nian Lu corrected him, "You should call me brother. Mom said you can't be rude."
"If you don't give me something delicious, I won't cry. But if you give me something delicious, I will cry."
Chen Chuan smiled. This guy was really practical. He glanced at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so he took his cousins back home. Before dinner, he asked Yu Wan, "Aunt, is my cousin coming back this year?"
My aunt said, "I don't know. Every year the telegram always comes at this time. This year it hasn't come yet. The child doesn't know how many there are. Why don't you send a telegram to urge them?"
Nian Fuli said: "I won't push him. I don't care. This year our family will celebrate the New Year together as usual."
Chen Chuan smiled inwardly, knowing that Nian Fuli was just being stubborn and might be sending telegrams every day waiting for them.
After dinner, he slept here for one night and returned to school early in the morning. Since going to the central city had been decided, there was no need to think too much about it. He should make good use of this time, try to improve himself, and prepare for going to the central city.
Just one day later, the school's admissions office posted this year's admission list for the Central City Main Hospital at the school gate.
In the past, only recommended students could go to the main campus, and they had nothing to do with the ordinary students around them. But this time it was different. The name was: "Second-year student of Wuyi University, top-ranked student, Chen Chuan."
This incident immediately caused a sensation inside and outside the academy, because for a long time before this, no students other than recommended students were admitted to the Central City Main Hospital.
Whether they were A-grade or B-grade students, they had long since tacitly accepted that this matter was exclusive to recommended students and had nothing to do with them. Even they themselves had long since given up on the idea.
But after Chen Chuan's name appeared on the list, everyone could feel that from that moment on, everything was different. The waves caused by this incident even brought some recent graduates, and some who had graduated several years ago, back to the school to watch.
Tai Dongwei stood under the notice in the window, looking at the name and stamp on it. "I can't believe it. Do you think students like us can go to the central city in the future?"
Deng Fu, who was standing next to him, said, "We? You and I have both graduated, so there's no chance. But Geng might still have a chance. After all, he has an unlimited defense certificate, and there are few students in his grade who are better than him. His chances are very good. The only downside is that we joined the mutual aid society."
Geng Zheng thought about it and said firmly, "I want to go."
His family members were still relying on the medicine from the central city for treatment, but now the access to the mutual aid association was cut off. Although some of the medicine could be bought on the black market, to resolve this problem, they had to go to the central city.
Tai Dongwei looked at it and said unconsciously: "I really envy Chen Xuedi."
Deng Fu said slowly, "Don't be envious. He can't get it because he fought for it. If you can kill the Mutual Aid Association and overthrow the Molan Company, then you can also go to the Central City."
Tai Dongwei said in surprise, "I know about the Mutual Aid Association, but about the Molan Company...wasn't that something done by the higher-ups?"
Deng Fu said meaningfully, "Do you really think this has nothing to do with Junior Brother Chen? Let me put it this way, Junior Brother Chen dared to go to the Appeal Court and face so many powerful families involved with the Molan Company. Could he not have some support? Think about it."
Tai Dongwei and Geng Zheng were both stunned. After thinking about it carefully, they felt that there seemed to be some truth to it.
After a while, Geng Zheng couldn't help but say, "Molan Company is bankrupt, but I heard that another company has taken over Molan's assets. Will there be another 'Molan Company' and 'Mutual Aid Association' by then?"
"Yes, definitely." Deng Fu answered without hesitation.
"What should we do then?"
Deng Fu said, "What can we do? The worst that can happen is we can just kill him again."
"Doesn't that mean nothing has changed?"
Deng Fu turned around and walked out of the crowd with his hands in his pockets, "It hasn't changed, but it has changed!"
