Medical University, the car is parked outside the school gate.
Zhong Yuxiu rolled down the window and looked outside, but couldn't find Principal Xu. "Comrades, we have to go into the school and look for him."
"Can you do it?" Tian Shangguo asked uncertainly.
"No problem."
The vehicle stopped next to the school gate, not blocking the main road; the three got out of the vehicle and walked towards the Medical University. The person at the gate was an acquaintance and recognized them, so he only asked Haonan and Tian Shangguo to sign before letting them pass.
Walking into the medical university, students were coming and going in a hurry, some carrying luggage.
Zhong Yuxiu then realized that it was already the end of June and it was time for summer vacation.
To get to Principal Xu's office, one had to go upstairs. Fortunately, the floor was not high. With one hand on his waist and the other on his abdomen, Haonan and Tian Shangguo nervously supported him on both sides, and finally they arrived outside Principal Xu's office.
"Yuxiu is here." Principal Xu was the first to walk out of the office.
"Teacher." He greeted the person with a smile, "The car is waiting downstairs. Shall we leave now?"
Principal Xu nodded and looked at her belly again. "Why is your belly so big? You're only five months pregnant, right? Have you gone to the hospital for a pregnancy checkup?"
"I've done it, and the doctor said it was a triplicate. With three babies squeezed together, my abdomen would inevitably be a little bigger."
Principal Xu was relieved and then delighted, "You are such a lucky child. One pregnancy has it all taken care of. Even the family planning policy can't control you, hahahaha."
"Look at what you said. The doctor said I'm having a difficult pregnancy. Because of this, Rushan usually doesn't let me go out. He starts nagging me if I move a little. I'm almost afraid of him." Touching her swollen belly, Zhong Yuxiu said with a smile, "Thanks to you, I can finally go out and walk around today."
"You girl, please stop saying that. It makes me so nervous. I know you're worried that I'll feel guilty. Okay, I won't say any more. Do you want to go into the office and rest for a while before leaving? Your belly is so big. Can you still walk upstairs with it?"
Principal Xu appreciated her kindness. It had to be said that although he had accepted several male apprentices, none of them was as caring and filial as Yuxiu. No wonder people said that daughters are the sweetest cotton-padded jackets of their parents. Once a teacher, always a father. So he was also half a father, right?
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head, "Teacher, there's no need to rest. Look, my face isn't red and I'm not out of breath. I'm in good health, so a few stairs are nothing. Let's go to the hospital now. I'll go home after this. Rushan will definitely complain if he doesn't see me when he gets home." It gave her a headache just thinking about it.
Climbing this little bit of stairs is not tiring, but I have a stomach in the front, so when I walk I always feel heavy in the front and light in the back, which is quite uncomfortable.
"That's fine," Principal Xu turned around and greeted the guests in the office, "Maojun, come out, let's go to the hospital."
"Uncle Xu."
A man called Mao Jun walked out from inside. He was tall and thin, with sunken eye sockets, and looked haggard and vicissitudes of life.
Principal Xu closed the office and introduced the people as they walked out. "Yuxiu, this is the eldest son of an old friend of mine. His surname is Gan, which means "after all hardship comes happiness." His given name is Maojun, which means "lush vegetation," and Jun means "soldier." My old friend had two sons and one daughter. They were here before, but we asked them to return to the hospital first."
Zhong Yuxiu looked at him and saw that Gan Maojun nodded slightly at her, his eyes only staying on her for a moment. His behavior was very appropriate and he was a graceful man.
"Maojun, this is the apprentice I was talking about, Yuxiu, whose full name is Zhong Yuxiu. She's only been apprenticed for a little over a year, but her medical skills are truly exceptional. She can diagnose the cause of an illness just by taking a pulse. I can't do that." Principal Xu was delighted to have such a promising apprentice. "I can't treat your father's illness. Now it all depends on whether the new medicine my apprentice has developed will work."
"Comrade Zhong Yuxiu, hello."
"Hello."
After greeting each other, Gan Maojun said, "I'll have to trouble Comrade Zhong to help with my father's affairs. Thank you, Uncle Xu, for the help."
"Let's put that aside. Your father and I have known each other for decades. When the turmoil began, your father even protected me. We're old friends." Principal Xu's eyes were filled with gratitude as he spoke of this. "If your father hadn't helped me back then, I'm not sure I'd be here now. But, when the Gan family fell on hard times, I couldn't do anything. I feel ashamed."
"Don't say that. Those ten years were a nightmare for many families, and countless people were sent down to the countryside. You had long since left the capital at that time, and you didn't know about your father's situation. If you had known, you would have tried every possible way to help your father." The Gan family fell into trouble suddenly, and they hadn't received any news at all, as if they were naturally implicated.
Smart people know that this is no accident.
Zhong Yuxiu felt a little more favorable towards him. "Teacher, this is really not your fault. Back then, you were not in the capital. Even if you knew the news, you would have been worried. In the end, it was just the times, not right or wrong."
After ten years, a true era of peace and prosperity arrived.
Even though there are many sorrows and pains, they cannot obscure the glory of the powerful country in the future.
"Well, forget it. What's the point of saying this now?" Principal Xu smiled bitterly.
Zhong Yuxiu was not good at comforting people, so she stopped talking. Gan Maojun had suffered for many years, and his eloquence in his early years had turned into silence and caution.
Walking on the campus avenue, students coming and going saw them and greeted them; students from the classes where Zhong Yuxiu had taught also came to greet her specifically, attracting the attention of a group of female students.
One of them looked terrified when he saw Zhong Yuxiu. The girl next to her asked, "Yutong, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah?" The woman named Yu Tong had a sallow complexion but fine features. She turned around suddenly, her eyes sparkling with a hint of spirit as she pointed at Principal Xu and the others. "It's okay. Who are they? So many people are greeting them."
What a beautiful scenery.
"You're talking about them. That's our school's principal, his last name is Xu. The woman next to him who's pregnant is Principal Xu's apprentice, and also an honorary professor at our school. Her last name is Zhong Yuxiu. I've had the pleasure of attending her classes a few times, and they're truly excellent. I used to find medical books a bit difficult to study, but with her explanations, I've gradually come to enjoy studying medicine."
Once you find the joy of a piece of knowledge, it is no longer just learning for the sake of learning.
"Come to think of it, Professor Wei Zhong is my senior. She should have been a third-year student, or a transfer student. I heard that she studied at Huazhong University before, but I don't know how she came to Medical University. But she is really amazing. She became a professor in just one year. She has very solid knowledge and is the youngest professor in our school." The female student enthusiastically explained science to her, but she didn't notice the increasingly embarrassed faces of the people around her.
Zhong Yuxiu followed the direction of the prying gaze and saw a familiar figure. She searched through her memories and actually found it.
Wan Yutong.
Wan Xuetang's biological daughter, the one who plotted against the original owner.
