The next morning, Xie Wanying received a call in the dormitory.
"Yingying, I'm at the train station."
The voice on the other side surprised Xie Wanying: "Lixuan, you came so soon? I thought you would wait until the eighth day of the new year."
"I took the train here after the New Year's Eve dinner," Wu Lixuan said. "Only now can I book a train ticket. I came to your place earlier so that I could enjoy the New Year's atmosphere in the capital. How are you?"
"I just happen to be on duty these few days during the New Year." Xie Wanying said awkwardly, "I told my mom, and she said she would tell you to come over later."
"Auntie may be busy during the New Year and forgot to tell me. It's okay, I can go shopping alone. And the most important thing for me to come this time is to see you. Have you lost weight? Being a doctor is very hard. I brought some things for your mother, including your favorite bacon, which your mother made herself." Wu Lixuan first showed off the local specialties from her hometown that she brought to her childhood friend on the phone, which were made by her mother.
"Lixuan, I happen to have a child to take care of here, and it's a long story. I can't pick you up at the train station. Can you come to my school by yourself? I'll wait for you at the school gate." Xie Wanying said this, full of apologies to her childhood friend who came from afar to visit her.
"Child? Do you have a child?" Wu Lixuan was shocked.
"No, it's not my child, it's the patient's child!" Xie Wanying clarified.
...
...
"Do doctors need to take care of children?" Wu Lixuan laughed. "I am ignorant and don't know anything about doctors. It doesn't matter. I will take a taxi there myself."
"Do you know where my school is?"
"Your school is so famous, how could a taxi driver not know where it is? You don't know, but I brag to everyone I meet that I have a very amazing childhood friend who will become a great doctor in the National Association in the future. Others should be jealous of me. Yingying, do you mind if I let you brag about it?" Wu Lixuan boasted half-jokingly.
Xie Wanying was amused by her childhood friend.
Xie Wanying asked her child to get up and take him to the school cafeteria for breakfast. Zheng Zheng was very happy to hear that the doctor's friend was coming while she was having breakfast. She felt that the doctor's friend was also a kind-hearted older sister.
"Wait a minute, after we pick up the other sister, I will take you to see your father." Xie Wanying promised the child.
Zheng Zheng nodded her little head.
After breakfast, Xie Wanying took her children to the security office at the school gate to wait for her childhood friend.
At about the same time, a taxi arrived at the gate of Guoxie School. The door opened and a girl in her early twenties jumped out. She had short black hair that showed her capable style and a bright yellow down jacket that was very fashionable. She was quite tall, about the same height as Xie Wanying, and had a pretty face.
Recognizing her childhood friend Wu Lixuan, Xie Wanying ran over to greet her.
"Don't be impatient!" Seeing that she was about to grab the luggage, Wu Lixuan stopped her and said, "There are only two bags, you and I will each carry one."
Xie Wanying took away the heavier bag.
Wu Lixuan was worried about her: "Can you carry it? I see you seem to have lost weight again."
"I haven't lost weight." Xie Wanying was sure of this. She was just a little tired from working the night shift at the hospital these two days. Her face wasn't the most energetic, and she looked thinner. "Really? I've gained muscle."
Wu Lixuan was stunned after hearing her next sentence: "I never knew that being a doctor requires building muscle."
"Of course. Otherwise, how can we have the strength to save people?" Xie Wanying said, "Many medical operations cannot be performed properly if we don't have the strength."
