"Aren't you going to come back in two years? Why are you back now?" Song Jinxiu asked.
"I came back after finishing it ahead of schedule." Liu Ankang replied.
"Wow, you are so awesome! So are you going to have a holiday right now? Are you going to go to school next?" Song Jinxiu asked happily.
"No need to go this year," said Liu Ankang.
"That's great! I want you to pick me up and drop me off at get off work. It's so cold, I'm almost frozen into a popsicle!" Song Jinxiu requested.
"Okay." Liu Ankang said with a smile.
"Do you have any social engagements next?" Song Jinxiu asked. An An is a college student now, so she probably doesn't have as much free time as before.
"No." Your business is the most important, Liu Ankang thought.
"That's great. I won't have a holiday until before the New Year. When it gets cold, I don't dare go home for lunch. I have to eat in the cafeteria every day." Song Jinxiu said pitifully.
"Starting tomorrow, should I pick you up and take you home for dinner, or should I pack the food and bring it to you?" Liu Ankang asked.
"Well, let's go home. It will be a better atmosphere if we all sit together and eat!" Song Jinxiu said after thinking for a while.
After a while, Song Jinxiu and her friend returned to the Xia family.
"Mom, look who's here." Song Jinxiu called out loudly.
"Hello, Auntie!" Liu Ankang greeted politely. "Here are some cakes I bought. Try them and see if they are delicious."
"An An is back! Why are you so polite when you come here, kid?
Next time you come, don’t bring anything with you. Just treat this place as your own home.” Mother Xia reprimanded with a smile.
"That's right, my home is your home." Song Jinxiu said.
"But mom, he must have bought this cake for me, it's not a formality, hehehehe!"
"You're the only one who's greedy. Then you two can have a good chat and I'll add two more dishes tonight!" Mother Xia said with a smile.
"Mom, An An wants to eat boiled pork slices." Song Jinxiu said.
"Okay, then let's make boiled pork slices!" said Xia's mother with a smile.
"Hehe, thank you, Mom!" Song Jinxiu stuck out her tongue and said with a smile.
Liu Ankang felt very gratified when he saw how they got along with each other. This was the life she should live.
"Why have you grown taller?" Song Jinxiu leaned forward and looked at Liu Ankang and said, "Is the food so good?"
"No, it's your illusion!" Liu Ankang consciously moved a stool and sat down before she came over.
He is actually not that tall, only about 185cm.
"I noticed that you've grown taller and whiter. You haven't been locked up in the lab for over a year without moving, have you?
If you continue like this, won't you become a weak scholar?" Song Jinxiu pinched Liu Ankang's little face and said.
Frog, it feels so good. Hasn’t it been exposed to the sun for more than a year?
Song Jinxiu pinched Liu Ankang's face and touched her own face. Fortunately, it was fortunate that she was almost outdone!
"How is that possible? There are fitness equipment indoors, right?
I think you have some misunderstanding about scientific researchers.
We usually stand for a whole day, but if it comes to a critical moment, it is not impossible for us to not sleep for several days.
How can you endure such high-intensity work without a healthy body?" Liu Ankang said.
"It sounds like it makes some sense!" Song Jinxiu nodded.
"So what are your plans next? Will you continue going to school?" Song Jinxiu asked.
"Follow Professor Hao and run between the school and the hospital! While learning theoretical knowledge, we must also practice it." Liu Ankang said.
"By the way, I plan to have Uncle Xue come to Beijing at the end of the year.
I made some changes to my teacher's acupuncture, which were successful in theory, but have never been tested on humans.
I wonder if Uncle Xue is willing to be my guinea pig." Liu Ankang said.
“I think you can arrange a free clinic in the hospital!
Explain to them that this is a new type of treatment and clearly state the consequences if it fails.
If you agree, we can provide them with treatment for free." Song Jinxiu said as she sat down opposite him.
She remembered that there were many such cases in later generations. Aren’t there also drug trials when new drugs come out?
"Let's talk about it later. This matter can't be settled just like that." Liu Ankang said.
"It's time to eat!" came Xia's mother's voice.
"I'm coming!" Song Jinxiu replied to Xia's mother.
Then he kicked Liu Ankang and said, "Hurry, wash your hands and serve the dishes."
Today, Xia's mother not only made boiled pork slices, but also braised fish and stir-fried two vegetables.
"Wow, it smells so good. Why is there fish today?" Song Jinxiu said in surprise.
"Your uncle Liu brought it this morning," said Xia's mother.
Today’s food is so delicious, I’ll definitely eat it with steamed white rice.
Song Jinxiu had to add to the family's food from time to time. Otherwise, they could only rely on the food distributed by the army to keep themselves from starving.
Nowadays, being an official doesn’t mean you can just enjoy a good life. You also have to take the lead in enduring hardships.
"What did you make today that smells so good?" Father Xia also came back at this time!
"Dad, you really know how to pick the time. You come back just as the meal is served." Song Jinxiu said.
"Hahaha, I'm a bit busy today. By the way, Xingchen is on a mission during this period, so there's no need to prepare for him." Father Xia said.
"Oh, isn't this An An? You're back?" Father Xia walked in and said in surprise when he saw Liu Ankang.
"Hello uncle, I'm back early!" Liu Ankang replied quickly.
"Good, good, young people are amazing!" Father Xia praised.
"Go wash your hands and have dinner, everyone is waiting for you!" Xia's mother said to Xia's father.
So the whole family had a happy meal together.
Everyone chatted about daily trivialities in tacit understanding. After all, both parties' jobs were a bit special and they all understood the confidentiality agreement.
After dinner, Song Jinxiu took Liu Ankang to her courtyard.
"This is my courtyard, a gift from my parents. But it's too lonely living here alone, so I moved in," Song Jinxiu introduced.
"The room is ready for you, you can live here from now on.
"I can eat at my house during the day, so I don't have to cook! And you're going to pick me up from get off work." Song Jinxiu laughed.
That’s great! I don’t have to go to work in the wind and rain anymore.
"Okay, then I'll pick you up tomorrow." Liu Ankang nodded.
He thought that he could take two months' share and send it to the Xia family, so that it wouldn't be considered taking advantage of them.
Food and accommodation were provided for more than a year, and I even saved up my own ration.
Liu Ankang sent Song Jinxiu back to the Xia family before returning to the courtyard.
The courtyard in Jing City was given to her as a gift just like that. He really dotes on her!
How long will it take me to buy this courtyard if I rely on myself?
He had an idea, but the time was not right yet and he still had a lot to learn.
After completing his studies, he wants to start his own pharmaceutical company to specialize in the research and development of currently available drugs.
Combining Chinese and Western medicine, we can see if we can create the anti-inflammatory drug that is currently most lacking.
It's not just anti-inflammatory drugs, there are so many imported medicines, not only are they expensive, but the quantities are also too small.
