"Dad, are you going to the nursing home now?"
At the main gate of the research institute, Li Wenhui accompanied her father out.
"Hmm, I'll just take a look around the special needs building. If there's nothing else, I'll be right back. What, my dear daughter, do you have any further instructions?"
"It's alright, go ahead and do your work, Comrade Li. Remember to say hello to all the grandpas and grandmas for me." Li Wenhui cooperated with her father, waving her hand in a pretentious manner, indicating that he could leave.
"You!" Li Chu chuckled and playfully flicked Wen Hui's nose before turning and leaving.
Li Wenhui stood there gracefully with her hands behind her back. After watching her father's tall figure walk away into the distance, she turned around and walked into the laboratory building.
Wenhui
As soon as I entered the laboratory building, the door to an office next door was opened, and a head popped out and called out.
"What's wrong, Xiaojing?"
"Come here, come here, I have something to ask you."
"Go ahead and ask. What do you want to ask?" Li Wenhui walked into the office, sat down in a chair, and asked the young girl who had called her in.
"Hey Wenhui, I just wanted to ask, does Teacher Li usually talk to you about traditional Chinese medicine at home?"
“No, I’m not a TCM major. Why would he tell me this? If it weren’t for this new project from our institute, I wouldn’t be learning this.”
"Not even a little bit?"
"That's not true. If Wenxuan were here, my dad would talk to him about it, but he wouldn't talk about herbs at all. He would only talk to him about traditional Chinese medicine. I remember my dad wrote a book about herbs. If Wenxuan doesn't understand anything, he can look it up himself."
"Teacher Li also compiled a book on herbal medicine?" the girl called Xiao Jing asked with some surprise.
"I've never seen this book before."
"He never published it, so where are you going to see him?"
"Huh? Wenhui, could you..."
"Stop!" Li Wenhui quickly raised a hand to stop Xiao Jing from finishing her sentence.
“I know what you’re trying to say, but it’s impossible. Didn’t you hear what I said? It’s a book, not just a book. Put together, it’s at least as thick as three Xinhua dictionaries. It took my dad nearly ten years to finish writing it.”
"I can't print them for you. The printing process alone is torture. Besides, Wenxuan took those copies with him when he went to the grasslands; I can't see them now."
"Ah!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Jing's delicate face immediately fell.
"Wenhui, please help me. You know my research area. If no one helps me, I can forget about graduating."
"Tch, who told you to knowingly walk into danger when you applied for the research project?" Li Wenhui said, pursing her lips.
"Sigh, Xiaojing, it's not that I don't want to help you, but Wenxuan really did take the book away. Even if you want to read it, you'll have to wait until they come back in October."
Seeing the dejected look on her face, Wenhui felt a little sorry for her. After thinking for a moment, she said, "How about this, if you have any questions, write them down on a piece of paper and give them to me. When we get back, I'll ask my dad for you, and I'll write down everything he says. You can look at it yourself later."
"Really? Oh my, Huihui, I love you to death!" Xiaojing excitedly rushed over and hugged Li Wenhui's head, planting a kiss on her cheek.
"Ugh~ Ning Xiaojing, you crazy woman, let go of me! It's disgusting, you've got my face covered in saliva."
"Hehe, your little Yi's drool isn't disgusting, is it?"
"Hey, how dare you talk to me like that? I'll scratch you to death!"
Just now, Li Wenhui was caught off guard and attacked. Now that she took the initiative, Ning Xiaojing was no match for her. In no time, Ning Xiaojing's hands were locked and she was scratched all over.
Ning Xiaojing was laughing so hard she could barely breathe, tears streaming down her face, while she kept saying nice things to her.
"Hmph~ Now you know how powerful I am."
"You...you're really strong. Look at me...look at my wrist...your wrist is all bruised from your grip."
"I'm not going to argue with you anymore, Xiaojing. I still have some things to write upstairs that I haven't finished. Remember to write down all the questions clearly for me."
"Okay, I...I know...I understand." Ning Xiaojing slumped into the chair, still not recovered.
"Bye-Bye"
...
After Li Wenhui left, it took her a while to recover, and she smiled like a fox who had just stolen a chicken.
Now I don't have to figure things out on my own anymore. Although I can't ask Li Chu for advice in person, it would be good enough if I could get a solution now.
On the other side, Li Chu had just finished his rounds in the VIP ward when he ran into Chang Laosan and his wife, who were coming to take over his second brother's shift.
"Brother Chu, that's perfect, I was just about to come find you. Yingying, you go to the ward first, I need to talk to Brother Chu about something."
"Okay, Brother Chu, you guys chat, I'll go upstairs first."
Li Chu smiled and nodded, then led Chang Laosan to the side before stopping.
"Brother Chu, I asked a few of the brothers to help me find out who it was, but we haven't found out exactly who it was yet. However, we can be pretty sure that the person who spread those rumors came from a prison in Taifeng." Chang Laosan took out a pack of 555 cigarettes from his pocket, flicked one out, and handed it over.
Li Chu didn't take it, waving his hand: "You can smoke it yourself, I can't stand foreign cigarettes."
"Hehe, I have some cigars that I got from outside. I'll get you two to try later. They're expensive, five dollars each."
"No way, you can keep it for yourself and enjoy it slowly. I almost never smoke."
"Brother Chu, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but you're living like a monk. You don't smoke or drink, and I never see you eating out. You don't go anywhere else, and I never even see you at Xu Damao's restaurant. Isn't that a bit too much?"
Hey bro, is it because your wife's too strict with you at home? Let me tell you, you can't spoil a woman too much. Look at me, I go dancing every week, and Yingying doesn't dare say a word. The dance halls are dark, hehe..."
With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Chang Laosan said smugly.
"Heh heh! How do you know that when you went out dancing, your wife wasn't dancing in other dance halls?"
!
!
These words nearly made Chang Laosan jump up, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground.
Li Chu reached out and pressed down on his shoulder: "Don't get excited, I was just saying that casually. But brother, remember this: women need to be cherished. If you don't cherish her and don't stay by her side, she'll have no one to talk to about her troubles. What if she complains to someone else and someone else takes her pain?"
"Brother, I really don't like what you're saying today." Chang Laosan was speechless with frustration after hearing those words, and looked at Li Chu with a wry smile.
"I was just kidding, don't mind it." Li Chu knew that some jokes shouldn't be taken too far, so he patted his shoulder twice.
