Chapter 177 Admiration (Catching Bugs)
It was Sunday off, and Yan Jiuru and Chen Yin took the old man and the old lady to the hospital for a check-up.
They went to the hospital affiliated to a military medical university where Ruyue worked.
Ruyue called specially two days ago and arranged the number in advance.
Originally, the two of them would have been enough, and there was no need for so many people. However, they were all grandchildren, and Ruyue wanted to do her best for the elderly, so it was difficult for them to stop her.
Not to mention Ruyue, not long after the examination began, Rushan and his wife rushed over.
However, Rushong is going to a place for training this week because of the military management, so I guess he won't be able to come.
Rushan was driving an old jeep that his elder brother had kindly given him. He was one of the few people in Beijing who owned a car, so after settling his children down, it was convenient for him to drive here himself.
Yan Jiuru frowned: "Why do we need so many people? If you two come, who will take care of the child?"
Zhao Xiaojing said hurriedly: "I originally wanted to send it to my mother's house, but fortunately I called and asked before leaving.
As a result, my younger brother is dating a girl today, and everyone in the family is out, so he is sent back to the old house.
Zhuangzhuang and the other two were able to watch, eat, drink, and watch TV, and they were having a great time."
Zhuangzhuang is indeed a reliable child.
Yan Jiuru nodded and said nothing more.
Zhao Xiaojing let out a breath quietly and made a face at Chen Yin.
As her uncle's prestige grew, she felt like she was reporting to her boss at work.
Chen Yin found it funny, so she took her sister-in-law's hand and went to talk in private.
***
Ruyue is studying clinical medicine testing and diagnosis, but she hasn't decided yet whether to choose medical imaging or testing technology for her master's degree.
According to senior colleagues, medical imaging, such as B-ultrasound and chest X-ray, requires little overtime, and there are basically no night shifts except for preparation.
Moreover, patients are called by appointment, so the number of patients is relatively controlled. However, the diagnosis needs to be made in person, which is stressful for patients. However, the salary is generally high.
The testing techniques are all routine tests, which inevitably involve dealing with feces, urine and blood, and there is a risk of contamination and infection. Workers often have to work overtime and are pressed for results, and night shifts are commonplace.
The salary level is also average.
The only advantage is that we don’t have to meet patients, so no medical disputes can be brought to the laboratory department.
Ruyue asked her elder brother when she applied for the exam.
Yan Jiuru just told her that she could learn whatever she wanted and didn't have to worry about the money.
Her brother has prepared a house in Yancheng. Not to mention what her parents have prepared, he will also give her a deposit of 100,000 yuan. She doesn't need to worry about making money at all.
Without this pressure, Ruyue only needs to consider her interests and hobbies.
Medical students like Ruyue don't just study in the classroom every day. They are also taken by professors to the hospital for internships, so they are very familiar with the affiliated hospitals.
With her running around, Chen Yin and the others saved a lot of effort.
Even so, the examination of the two elderly people took them most of the day.
It is more convenient to have your family members in the hospital.
They didn't have to wait too long for the results. Ruyue held up the freshly prepared report and said, "You didn't fall hard this time, so there's nothing wrong with your bones.
"But I have quite pronounced osteoporosis, so I need calcium supplements. This time, thankfully, the snow was thick and cushioned, otherwise I might have suffered a fracture."
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief. "It's okay as long as it's fine. It doesn't matter if it's loose or not. People's bones are brittle when they get old."
He doesn't care at all.
The old man said dissatisfiedly: "Don't talk nonsense, the child is studying medicine, and he is engaged in science. Just listen to what he says."
"That's right, grandma. We all listen to Ruyue. She's the most authoritative person on this matter."
"Yes, grandma, I'll buy you a few pounds of bones to make soup for you to nourish yourself."
Chen Yin and Zhao Xiaojing hurriedly followed suit to persuade them.
The old lady couldn't stand the siege and had to surrender.
But the old man, who has been practicing martial arts for many years, is in good health.
"The doctor said that your physique is better than that of an average 50-year-old. You don't have much calcium deficiency, so you just need to make sure you get enough."
When the old man heard this, his face was raised very high, and he was so proud.

"Let's go. Today is good news. Everyone has been busy all day. I'll treat everyone to hot pot."
With the reform and opening up, various restaurants have sprung up in the streets and alleys of Yancheng, including Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Northeastern, Northwestern and Western restaurants.
Rushan smiled and winked at Zhao Xiaojing, then immediately recommended, "There's a new Benxian Hotpot restaurant on Qianmen Street. I ate there with my colleagues last time and it was quite good. Should we go and try it?"
Yan Jiuru pretended not to notice the quarrel between the two of them, "Okay, it's closer to home."
Zhao Xiaojing quietly said to Chen Yin, "He ate there once with his colleagues last time, and he came back and told me that it was delicious. I asked him to treat me to a taste as well.
He promised it well, but in the end, he spent all his salary this month on gifts, except for the fixed amount he saved. He still has to rely on his elder brother and sister-in-law to eat the pot."
Chen Yin was surprised: "How much?"
Zhao Xiaojing said helplessly, "It's just a coincidence. In October, there were three or four weddings at their workplace, and one colleague's family celebrated their first month of marriage, and an elderly person passed away."
Rushan's salary is now just over 100 yuan, and Zhao Xiaojing earns more than 60 yuan a month. The two of them save 120 yuan a month, and the remaining 40 yuan is used to cover daily expenses.
Rushan doesn't smoke, and the children's expenses are not that high now, but both of them have a lot of social interactions at work.
They also received gifts when they got married and had children, so they should return the favor.
October is the busiest month for weddings, so if you happen to get married there, you can just go out and do whatever you want.
Chen Yin nodded in agreement. "We've had seven or eight gifts combined this month. One day I had to attend two events and didn't have time to eat. I just sat for a while after the gifts and then rushed to the next one."
"That's right. I also went to two shows in one day, one in Dongcheng District and the other in Xicheng District. They're quite far away. Luckily I drove myself."
The two sisters-in-law chatted as they made the long car to go back and pick up the children.
***
Yan Jiuru drove with his sister and grandparents to order food first.
"Benxian Hotpot" has two floors and is very spacious.
"How many people are you?" The receptionist saw them driving up and immediately came forward to greet them attentively.
There are about ten people in the family.
Yan Jiuru directly asked for a big table, one with fish soup base and one with beef bone soup base.
Moreover, even though it is winter now, there are many more side dishes to order than before.
After ordering the beef and mutton rolls, Yan Jiuru asked Ruyue: "Order whatever you want to eat, don't save money for me."
Ruyue knew her elder brother was rich, so she immediately took the menu: "Yam slices, lettuce, wood ear mushrooms, frozen tofu, mung bean sprouts..."
"Why did you become a vegetarian? Are you born in the Year of the Rabbit?" Yan Jiuru looked at his sister.
Ruyue sighed and waved her hand, "You don't understand."
After their stay in the hospital, they have become somewhat immune to meat.
Grandma Yan was also dissatisfied and said, "This won't do. You have lost ten pounds, haven't you? You have to come home for dinner on weekends. This won't do."
Ruyue responded to her grandmother and elder brother with casual "hmm" and "ah".
***
Having a car means it’s fast. We didn’t have to wait too long before Chen Yin and her friends arrived with the children.
The whole family sat down again happily.
Yan Jiuru handed the menu to Chen Yin: "We'll order these, and you can order whatever you like for the rest."
The dishes that were ordered earlier have been served one after another. Chen Yin took a quick look and handed the menu to her sister-in-law Zhao Xiaojing. "Take a look and see what delicious food you can order for our Yuxiu. We are not strangers, so please don't be shy."
Zhao Xiaojing quickly glanced at the menu and called to the waiter, "Is there anything suitable for children?"
Yuxiu is too young, and I’m afraid it will be difficult for her to digest the food in the hot pot.
The waiter looked at the little one and said with a smile, "You can order some minced fish meatballs or beef meatballs. We always have fresh fish and good meat, so you can rest assured that your child can eat them."
"Okay, make me some steamed egg custard." Even if I can't eat the meatballs, I won't be left with nothing to eat.
Everyone ordered two dishes each, and the table was full.
However, there are many people in their family, both adults and children, who practice martial arts, so these may not be enough to eat.
Chen Yin watched Ru Yueguang mixing yam and black fungus and asked quietly, "Why don't you eat meat? The fish balls and beef balls are very fresh, and the luncheon meat is authentic..."
Ruyue approached her sister-in-law and whispered a few words.
Chen Yin's expression changed several times, and then she patted Ruyue gently, "Then eat more of what you like."
Yan Jiuru looked over and Chen Yin gave him a look that said "it's okay".
Yan Jiuru stopped asking.
His wife will always tell him later.

The family was eating and chatting when they heard someone greet them: "Grandpa Yan?"
Everyone looked over and found that it was the second grandson of the old Zhang family in the front yard.
"Hey, Zhang Fugui, you are here too?" Rushan was immediately happy and waved to the other party.
Zhang Wei had a pleading expression on his face, and he bowed to him and said, "Brother Shan, just call me Er Wei."
Fugui and the like were nicknames we all gave to each other as a joke when we were little.
Now that I'm so old, it's embarrassing to keep shouting.
There are several people in military uniforms around him. They must be his comrades, right?
Zhang Wei knew everyone at the table, and he greeted them one by one. His gaze lingered on Ruyue's face for a moment, and he said with a smile, "Little Ruyue, I don't see you very often. What are you busy with?"
Ruyue put down her chopsticks, looked at Zhang Wei and said, "What can you be busy with in a medical school? It's either patients or corpses..."
Before he could finish his words, someone kicked him on the foot.
She quickly changed her tone and said, "Well, I was just kidding.
We in medical school are busy memorizing books. You don’t even know that our professional books are five feet thick. I’m almost becoming nearsighted.”
She tilted her head, and suddenly thought of something, "You can't come back casually when you're in the army? How come it seems like I've only seen you two or three times?"
Zhang Wei: … My heart aches.
He glanced helplessly at his comrade and said, "Didn't I tell you last time? After joining the army, I was admitted to the military academy. It's in Yancheng and I can go out on weekends."
Ruyue muttered, "That's good. It's easier than my second brother and the others."
Zhang Wei looked at the little girl who had always followed him around and yelled, "Brother Zhang, wait for me," since she was little. She was now more and more outstanding, and was indeed as bright and beautiful as the moon.
He wanted to chat for a while longer, but his comrades were waiting for him, so he had to say goodbye: "My comrades and I have something to do, you guys eat."
Yan Jiuru and Chen Yin's eyes met, and they looked at Zhang Wei who kept looking back, and then at Ruyue, who waved her hand and went to pick up some lettuce and shuffle it with great enthusiasm.
Tsk tsk…
