Chapter 31 Academician Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao
Meanwhile, Cen Yan sat in the cabin, waiting for the crowd to thin out before taking the old man and woman she had just met to the clinic.
Since the ship has just docked, there will definitely be many people rushing to disembark. If they bump into each other or get jostled, it will be bad for the two elderly people.
For this, the old man Zhao Gongqin was extremely grateful to Cen Yan.
"Girl, thank you so much for making this trip to get us to the hospital. Otherwise, those workers on the ship would have preferred us to just fend for ourselves!"
Cen Yan smiled and said, "Grandpa Zhao, you can't say that. Grandma Zhao's health has gradually recovered. It wouldn't have mattered if I hadn't brought you over. It's just that I'm worrying about things that don't concern me."
"Hey! How can you say this is meddling? You're such a helpful child, always ready to help others to the end, why do you portray yourself so negatively?"
Zhao Gongqin gave Cen Yan a disapproving look and patted her hand.
"In short, if you need anything on Dongming Island in the future, just come to us, Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao, and we'll do anything for you!"
“Grandpa Zhao, you’re too kind.” Cen Yan waved the receipt in her hand. “I’ll go pay the bill first. You can rest here for a bit, Grandpa Zhao.”
With that, Cen Yan got up and walked out.
She talked to the two elderly people quite a bit along the way and learned that the old man's surname was Zhao, his name was Zhao Gongqin, and he was the director of the Beijing Machinery Factory.
Grandma Zhao is also an expert in mechanics, a chief engineer, and has been awarded the title of academician by the state. She holds many invention patents in the field of mechanics.
The reason they came to Dongming Island this time was because their grandson was stationed there and couldn't return to Beijing for a while, so the elderly couple came to retire and also to oversee the improvement and upgrading of the warships.
After listening, Cen Yan felt immense respect for the two elderly people. Academicians! That's an honor that not just anyone can receive.
What she admired even more was not the identities of the two elderly people, but that they were both retired and still willing to risk their health to devote themselves to such a harsh place as Dongming Island.
To contribute to the nation's warship program, to burn one's own life...
After paying the fees, Cen Yan returned to her ward and gave the invoice and the remaining money back to Zhao Gongqin.
"Grandpa Zhao, the payment has been made. You can check the receipt to see how much it cost and what it was used for. If you have any questions, just ask the nurse. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Zhao Gongqin quickly urged her to stay, saying, "Yan'er, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Stay here with us two old folks. You just arrived on Dongming Island, right? You probably haven't found a place to stay yet. After your Grandma Zhao finishes this IV drip, you can come with us and stay at our house!"
Judging by the time, if we delay Cen Yan a little longer, that brat should be coming over after get off work. We can take this opportunity to let the young people meet...
How could Cen Yan not understand the old man's thoughts? Along the way, Zhao Gongqin didn't mention how outstanding or handsome his grandson was; he just had to make his intention to act as a matchmaker clear.
Cen Yan smiled and revealed her true intentions, "Grandpa Zhao, there's no need. My main purpose in coming to Dongming Island this time is to find my childhood betrothed and set a wedding date as soon as possible, so I can stay at his place then."
When Zhao Gongqin heard that Cen Yan was engaged and had come to Dongming Island to find her husband, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, he was glad that he hadn't made a big blunder, so he emphasized again that Cen Yan should come to them for help if she encountered any difficulties.
Only then did they reluctantly release the person.
