It was almost nine o'clock in the evening, at Zhou Mo's home in Junshanfu Community.
After returning home, Zhou Mo changed into comfortable pajamas, washed up, and sat down at the dining table.
She put down her cell phone, picked up her bowl, and started eating with two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a soup on the table.
Zhou Hao, who was busy in the living room, heard the noise, turned around and saw her eating, and frowned with disgust.
"Hey, hey, hey, look at yourself, do you still look like a girl eating?"
"They say the closer you are to a red person, the more you become red. You've been following that Yu Zhiming brat for quite some time. Not only have you not learned anything good, but how come you've been led to eat like a pig snatching food from him?"
Zhou Mo took a sip of soup, ate his food, burped again, and said with a playful smile: "When eating with Doctor Yu, you have to grab the food, otherwise he will eat all the food."
She then corrected him, "Mom, Dr. Yu is pretty good except that he eats with bigger mouthfuls, faster frequency, and seems a bit more oblivious to others. It's also pleasing to watch him eat with such delicious taste. But he's still a far cry from competing with pigs for food."
Zhou Hao, who was sitting next to Zhou Mo, snorted lightly, then said earnestly, "Yu Zhiming is a boy, and he has great abilities. If others see him eating like this, they will only praise him for being casual and true to his nature."
"Momo, you're a girl. If you eat like this, people will say you're uneducated."
Zhou Mo was about to reply when his cell phone rang.
She picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID. It was an unfamiliar number from another province.
After Zhou Mo answered the call, he habitually pressed the record button.
Then, a serious male voice rang out from the phone, "Is this Dr. Yu Zhiming from Huashan Hospital? This is the Henan Provincial Health Commission."
Zhou Mo politely replied: "I am Dr. Yu's assistant Zhou Mo. If you have anything to say, please tell me!"
The next moment, a man's voice came from the phone, "I have something important to discuss with Dr. Yu directly. Please hand the phone over to Dr. Yu."
Zhou Mo replied: "Doctor Yu is not available to answer the phone right now. If you have anything to say, please tell me first and I will pass it on."
The man on the other end of the phone turned serious. "Comrade Zhou, I want to discuss an important matter. If I'm delayed, can you, a small assistant, take responsibility?"
Hearing these authoritative words, Zhou Mo rolled his eyes, but said solemnly, "Comrade Leader, please tell me the matter first. If it's serious, I will definitely tell Doctor Yu without delay."
After a pause, the voice on the phone rang again, this time with anger.
"I can't tell a little assistant like you what I want to say. I can only tell it directly to Dr. Yu."
"Well, ask Dr. Yu to call me at this number later."
After saying this, the other party ended the call.
Zhou Mo curled his lips, put down his phone and continued eating.
Zhou Hao, however, reminded her with some concern, "Momo, why don't you call Yu Zhiming and tell him? From the tone of his voice, he seems quite important and a high-ranking official."
Zhou Mo said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Mom. He's just a guy who has a little power but is self-righteous and doesn't know his place."
"If he really had a big background, he wouldn't have called me, but would have contacted Dr. Yu directly."
Zhou Mo added, "Mom, let me tell you something. Given Dr. Yu's current status and importance, even the National Health Commission, let alone a provincial one, wouldn't have much influence."
Zhou Hao uttered an "oh" as if he understood, then slowly said, "Momo, you work with Yu Zhiming, leaving early and returning late. You don't even have any time for yourself."
"You're already 25 years old. Many girls your age already have two children..."
When Zhou Mo heard it started again, his head started to hurt.
She quickly interrupted and made a random promise: "Mom, Mom, please stop pushing me. I'll make you a promise. Before I turn 30, I will give you a grandson or granddaughter."
Zhou Hao bargained, "One child before the age of thirty, and another before the age of thirty-two."
"One isn't safe, so I'll have two. Only then can I be sure of training one and passing down the studio."
"Okay, deal! Mom, let's make a pinky promise!"
In order to prevent his mother from going back on her word, Zhou Mo quickly made a pinky promise with Zhou Hao, making the agreement effective.
Afterwards, Zhou Mo took two more mouthfuls of rice and glanced at his mother who was sitting beside him with a calm face.
She hesitated for a moment and said cautiously, "Mom, I only talked about having a baby, but I didn't promise to get married."
Zhou Hao nodded gently and said, "I understand. As long as you can give birth to two children before the agreed time, everything else is up to you."
Zhou Mo was slightly startled, and asked in shock and exaggeration: "Mom, are you still my mom?"
"Why did you suddenly come to your senses?"
Zhou Hao snorted coldly and said, "I'm just angry at you, an unfilial daughter."
The next moment, she sighed again: "I've also figured it out. There are fewer and fewer reliable men nowadays. If I really force you to marry someone casually, and if your life is not happy in the future, it's really better to live alone."
After a pause, Zhou Hao sighed again and said, "That Qi Zhen, he seemed like such a good kid before, but now he's just a self-righteous guy who can't stand up on his own."
"Also, this afternoon, an old customer came to me and complained that they had carefully selected a son-in-law from out of town for their daughter, but he turned out to be an ungrateful person."
"Their daughter has been deceived and is only thinking about making money and gaining benefits from them, not about being filial."
Zhou Mo moved his seat closer to Zhou Hao, hugged her and put his face close to hers, saying, "Mom, I will always be your little cotton-padded jacket and will always be filial to you."
Zhou Hao moved away from Zhou Mo and said disdainfully, "I'll be thankful if you can irritate me less in the future."
Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "Am I mad at you? I'm trying to help you regulate your emotions and improve your heart's endurance."
Zhou Hao snorted and suddenly became serious.
"Momo, tell me the truth, the reason you don't want to leave Yu Zhiming is because you like him?"
Zhou Mo was silent for a while before he slowly said, "I like you, but not that kind of like."
"Mom, you don't understand. Seeing him diagnose difficult and complicated diseases one after another, seeing him save people from death, seeing the families cry with joy, even though I didn't contribute much, I still felt a surge of dopamine and excitement."
"This feeling can only be experienced by being with Dr. Yu. I like this feeling."
"besides……"
Zhou Mo said excitedly, "Doctor Yu is the most powerful doctor in China and abroad, and I will protect his safety and assist him in his work."
"The sense of honor and mission that I have in this job is something that no other job can provide..."
At this moment, at the Yu family, Yu Zhiming, who came back at the same time as Zhou Mo, had already finished dinner.
Yu's father had just returned from outside.
"We had dinner at Wang's house and played a game of chess."
Dad Yu explained and then distributed the three roasted sweet potatoes he brought back to Yu Chaoxia, Yu Zhiming, and Qing Ning.
"Thank you, Dad!"
Qingning thanked him and happily peeled the roasted sweet potato, and the sweet aroma filled the living room.
Yu Chaoxia broke off a large half of her roasted sweet potato and handed it to Yu Ma, but Yu Ma shook her head and refused.
Father Yu sighed again and said, "A cousin came to Dr. Wang's house this afternoon and said he wanted to borrow five million for his grandson's house purchase and wedding."
"The tone of voice sounded as if it was their turn."
"I didn't expect my son to be bullied in such an international city like Binhai."
Yu Zhiming swallowed the sweet potato in his mouth and said, "There are people with old-fashioned ideas everywhere. The most important thing is that people are moved by profit. Some people are just using old traditions to cover up their shameless behavior of grabbing profit."
Father Yu nodded and said, "Old Five, since you have agreed to become sworn brothers, you must take on the responsibility of taking care of me."
Yu Zhiming nodded and said "hmm".
At this time, Yu Zhiming's cell phone rang. It was a call from Director Wu of the county hospital in his hometown.
"Doctor Yu, the Huashan Hospital expert team has successfully completed their ten-day professional guidance work at the county hospital and will depart for Binhai tomorrow."
Yu Zhiming let out a soft "oh".
Yu Zhiming didn't pay much attention to this assistance activity because he was busy with his work.
He only knew that this expert guidance group was led by two chief physicians from the Department of Neurology and the Department of Cardiopulmonary Medicine who were nearing retirement, and consisted of seven or eight people in total.
Compared with the medical level of the county hospital, the strength of this expert group can be said to be quite luxurious.
Generally speaking, an associate chief physician is more than enough to lead the team.
This was probably because of Yu Zhiming's face, so the level and scale of the expert group were greatly improved.
Director Wu continued on the call, "The expert team has treated over 500 patients at the county hospital, performed 23 on-site teaching surgeries, and held no less than 20 various case discussions, seminars, and lectures. It can be said that this has greatly improved the medical level of the county hospital and even the entire city."
"The whole city?" Yu Zhiming grasped a key word.
Dean Wu chuckled over the phone and explained, "Doctor Yu, hospitals in the city and other counties have learned that experts from Huashan Hospital are coming to provide professional guidance, and they have all requested to come and learn."
"The Municipal Health Commission also intervened, so we had no choice but to compromise and agree to allow each hospital to send a few key personnel to learn."
Yu Zhiming said "oh" again.
Dean Wu continued, "Doctor Yu, let me be honest. This time, the Huashan expert team came to us and not only brought us some medical equipment and supplies, but also made real efforts and put in a lot of effort. It's not like before when they just went through the motions."
"Not only have many patients in my hometown benefited, but the medical staff of the county hospital and doctors from other hospitals who came to study have all said that this training session has been very rewarding."
"I understand that all of this, in the final analysis, still depends on you, Doctor Yu."
After a pause, Dean Wu said earnestly, "Doctor Yu, I can only sum it up in one sentence: thank you!"
Yu Zhiming smiled gently and said, "Liyang is my hometown. It's my duty to do something."
He thought of something else and said, "When the expert team returns, I will return the favor and express my gratitude to them..."
