"Huihui, Xuanxuan, which school are you planning to apply to?"
Wen Hui jogged over to Li Qin's side and sat down next to her: "Auntie, Xiao Xuan and I are both preparing to take the entrance exam for the school Dad went to."
"Oh? You two both want to study medicine?"
Li Chu and Ding Qiunan were also stunned; they had no idea about this at all.
Ding Qiunan looked at her daughter, then at her son standing with Wang Yueyue: "Wait, didn't you two say you wanted to apply to Peking University?"
"Oh, Mom, Xiaoxuan and I discussed it again, and we changed our plans. He plans to study Western clinical medicine, and I plan to study traditional Chinese medicine."
Suddenly, all the eyes in the courtyard were fixed on Li Wenxuan.
Good grief, your dad is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, but you want to study Western medicine. You're going to ruin your dad's business!
"Hehe," Wenxuan chuckled a little shyly, "Don't look at me like that. I originally wanted to study traditional Chinese medicine, but I really couldn't understand those books on traditional Chinese medicine in the study. I just couldn't get interested in them. On the contrary, those books on Western medicine piqued my interest. I also want to be a doctor like my dad and save lives."
“You have high aspirations, but neither of you siblings is willing to learn traditional Chinese medicine from your father. What will happen to his lineage?”
"Why don't I just have my dad take on an apprentice? Like my dad said, that's how Master Shi took him on," Li Wenhui said nonchalantly.
Li Chu smiled but didn't say anything. He had long known that neither of his children were interested in traditional Chinese medicine, so he never intended to force them to learn it from him.
The group looked at Li Chu again, only to find that he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it.
Wang Yueyue let go of Li Wenxuan's hand and came to Li Chu's side: "Dad Chu, shall I learn from you?"
"Stop. If you want to come and spend more time with Xiao Xuan, just say so. Don't use this as an excuse." Li Chu saw through Wang Yueyue's intentions at a glance and rejected him without hesitation.
"Oh dear, Mr. Chu, don't talk nonsense." Feeling a little embarrassed after being exposed by Li Chu's side, she quickly ran behind Li Wenxuan and hid herself.
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.
"Huihui, why do you want to study traditional Chinese medicine?" Ding Qiunan asked her daughter.
Wenhui cutely stuck out her tongue: "I just think that if I don't understand something while learning this, I can ask my dad anytime. Wouldn't that make it easier to learn?"
Hmm, that's a good reason, but...
“Huihui, Xuanxuan, and Yueyue, you can study whatever you want. Your mother and I will support you unconditionally. However, do you have some misunderstanding about the school I attended? Or do you think that school is easier to get into?”
Li Chu looked at the three children very seriously. Although Yueyue would not start high school until autumn, if Wenxuan really went to medical school, then she would definitely go to that school in the future.
"First, I want to make a few points clear to you. First, this school is very difficult to get into, extremely difficult. Second, do you know anything about this school? Do you know that if you get into this school, the program lasts eight years?"
“Eight years…” the three children cried out in disbelief.
"That's right, it's eight years. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll officially start enrolling students next year. The ministry meeting a few days ago confirmed it, and it's been submitted to the State Council for approval."
The academic program has been basically finalized: the first two and a half years will be spent studying specialized courses in the Department of Biology at Kyoto University, followed by five and a half years back at the university to complete undergraduate medical studies.
At this point, Li Chu smiled and spread his hands: "So, Huihui, Xuanxuan, are you really ready?"
Seeing that his daughter wanted to say something, Li Chu waved his hand: "You don't need to tell us. Just do your best. Remember what I said: no matter where you want to go to college, we will support you unconditionally. That includes Yueyue, too."
"Thank you, Daddy Chu!" Wang Yueyue smiled sweetly.
She was so envious of Hui-jie and Xuan-ge for having such open-minded parents. No matter what the issue was, they would explain the pros and cons to you and let you consider whether you could do it, fully respecting your ideas.
Unlike your own parents, who only order you around, telling you what you should do and what you should do.
However, with a quick glance from her big eyes, it became clear that he would indeed become her father someday.
Thinking of this, Wang Yueyue glanced at Li Wenxuan, who had grown into a tall and handsome man, and a blush rose on her face.
"Sister, brother-in-law, is Yuanyuan not planning to take the college entrance exam this year?"
“Uh…” Li Qin and her husband exchanged a glance.
"Xiao Chu, you found out?"
"Sister, Yuanyuan is too scared to go home. How could Li Chu not know?"
Before he could speak, Ding Qiunan chuckled and offered an explanation for him.
"Sigh," Li Qin shook her head, unsure of what to say.
Wang Ziwen thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Chu, you know that Yuanyuan has a boyfriend, right?"
"I know."
"She was a little worried that if she got into college, it would affect her relationship with that boy..." Wang Ziwen said, sounding quite helpless.
Li Chu shrugged. He was equally helpless. As Wang Jiayuan's uncle, he naturally wanted his niece to do well, so he had her start reviewing for the exams last year and even tutored her. Unfortunately, she fell short in the end.
But if she tries harder this year, she can definitely succeed. Although she has a formal job now, if she can go to university, her life after graduation will be completely different.
The problem is that now that the other person has chosen to give up for the sake of their relationship, what can he do but offer his blessings and hope that his niece will not regret her choice in the future.
"Alright, if you don't want to take the exam, then don't. Sis, tell Yuanyuan to bring that guy back so I can meet him."
"That's for sure. You're her uncle, and Ziwen and I are counting on you to help her choose the right person."
In the dead of night, Ding Qiunan, who was sleeping soundly in the bedroom, groggily discovered that her husband, who was sleeping next to her, was gone.
This immediately dispelled her sleepiness.
Without turning on the lights, I fumbled to put on my pajamas, walked out of the bedroom, and found no one in the bathroom, no one in the living room, and no one in the study either.
She went into the yard with a flashlight, but there was no one there.
There were four dogs left in the house. Except for Chouqiu, who was about to give birth and was lying in her bed without moving, Dasheng, Bajie, and Baimao were all gathered around her legs.
She almost went to wake the children.
But then she realized where her husband was, and turned to walk towards the back garden.
You can hear the sound of flowing water and the rustling of leaves in the wind from the covered walkway leading to the back garden.
Sure enough, as soon as you reach the archway, you can see the lights from the back garden shining through.
