Dean Xu nodded slightly and listened attentively until Yan Rushan finished speaking, then he spoke.
"What's the child's name?"
"His surname is Fu, his name is Xiangbei, and he is the fifth child in the family. My grandfather often calls him Fu Xiaowu, and Xiaowu is indeed a smart child." Geniuses are not many, but not few either. On the contrary, prodigies are rare, so Fu Xiangbei can never compare to his wife.
Dean Xu nodded and said, "I need to take a closer look at this genius who even moved Yuxiu."
Under Yan Rushan's guidance, Dean Xu once again learned the way to the Zhong family. He memorized the route and stepped into the hall. Yan Rushan was the first to speak, "Wife, Master is here."
Zhong Yuxiu turned her head to look, then stood up and walked towards them; the two sons beside her screamed twice, but failed to draw their mother's attention, and glared at Yan Rushan and Dean Xu angrily.
"Master, thank you for your hard work and for making this special trip."
"It's not hard. My old bones can still move." Dean Xu smiled and handed her his arm.
Zhong Yuxiu took advantage of the situation and supported the person, leading him towards the sofa.
"President Xu is here. Was the journey okay?" Yan Guofeng asked.
"Everything is fine. How is Mr. Yan these days?"
Yan Guofeng nodded. "Good, very good. Dean Xu rarely comes here. Come and see our three little ones. They can recognize people now. Yuxiu has been teaching them to read recently, and they can recognize quite a few words now."
As the saying goes, old people are always wise. As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that Dean Xu was treated as an outsider, and he was easily pulled in and integrated into the Yan family.
The two words "our home" are very spiritual. If used well, they can really bring people closer together.
"How can you recognize words at such a young age?" Dean Xu looked puzzled. He couldn't help but look at the three little guys sitting in their arms. The two little guys who were as angry as pufferfish caught his attention. "Are they angry?"
"Don't bother with them. They're spoiled and will just throw a tantrum when they're unhappy." Zhong Yuxiu said this with a casual air, but she couldn't help but glance at her sons. The two were genuinely angry, and when they saw her looking at them, they snorted and turned their heads away. "Look at them like this. If you didn't know, you'd think I'd done something to them."
"They are just children! They are all like this. But, they are only a little over one year old, right? They actually hold grudges." The key is to be able to control your own behavior and facial expressions well.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded and asked him to sit next to the children. "They have good memories. Although they are young, they have high IQs. They can remember everything I teach them once."
"Then what are you teaching them now?" Dean Xu reached out to touch the head of the little guy next to him, but the little guy dodged him.
The little guy pushed his hand and said, "Go, go, go."
"The little guy is quite strong." Dean Xu said with a smile: "They are in good health."
"Yes, they are very strong. They are angry now, so please don't touch them, otherwise they will be too rough." A punch will still hurt.
Dean Xu withdrew his hand and stopped probing. "You guys are still the best."
Turning around and seeing Mr. Fu, Dean Xu asked again, "Who is this?"
"This is the old man of the Fu family in the compound, and also Fu Xiangbei's grandfather." Yan Rushan said.
"Hello, Dean Xu! I heard this morning that you are an excellent doctor, a leader in the medical field." Old Master Fu gave a thumbs up without hesitation and spoke kindly, surprising Yan Guofeng, who could actually speak human language.
If Mr. Fu knew what he was thinking, he would scold him again.
"I don't deserve it. I'm just old and have some experience in treating diseases. It's all flattery. I don't deserve it." Dean Xu didn't dare to agree like that. When it comes to medical skills, his apprentice is still the best. Not only is she good at diagnosing and prescribing medicine, but she is also first-class in drug research. So far, no one has been able to surpass her achievements.
A repair fluid allowed her to secure her position as the most mysterious figure in the medical field; but she often conducted research at the Medical Research Institute and seldom went out. She only knew the person who developed the repair fluid, but not the person.
"President Xu, you're being modest, aren't you? You single-handedly trained Comrade Zhong, a fine student. The excellent medicines Yuxiu makes are all good things that benefit the country and the people." Old Master Fu gave a thumbs-up and praised Zhong Yuxiu endlessly. "In the past few years, before Yuxiu developed the repair fluid, we old folks all thought that every extra day we lived was a blessing. Even when we were tormented by illness, we didn't think of anything else. After Yuxiu developed the repair fluid, we old folks have enjoyed many years of happiness."
Dean Xu was deeply touched by this and showed him more sincerity. "I didn't expect Yuxiu to develop such a good medicine. It has eradicated the hidden injuries that have accumulated in our bodies over the years and has made us much better."
"Who says it isn't? Yuxiu's repair fluid is really a good thing. I was demoted that year, and when I came back, my health was not as good as before. Every time I caught a cold, it felt like I was walking through the gates of hell." Old Master Fu shook his head and sighed. He was tortured by illness. If it weren't for the fact that his family had not yet recovered completely, he would have wanted to die. Instead of being tortured by illness and living a life worse than death, it was better to understand himself, which was also a relief.
"Have you also been demoted?" asked Dean Xu.
Mr. Fu nodded and said, "I was sent down to the northern border. It's very cold there."
"I was sent down there too. Although it wasn't to northern Xinjiang, I still got sick. When it rained, my body lost control."
They had the same experience, and the more they talked, the more they got along. However, Yan Guofeng had no such experience, and when he heard them talk about it, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. There were so many unjust, false and wrong cases in those years. Some people could still wait for the day of redress, but some people were buried in the unjust, false and wrong cases forever.
After death, future generations will not be able to get redress and will be burdened with a stigma, and their future will be ruined.
"Me too! All those years I thought about dying, I really thought about it; but, looking at those useless children and grandchildren at home, I didn't dare to leave like this. I dragged my sick body to take care of them, and I didn't dare to die without settling them down." Death would put an end to everything, but what about the children and grandchildren?
During his years of exile, he had connections, but they were too few; they could not have played a significant role in the Fu family. While he was alive, he still had connections with the family, but if he died, the Fu family would be doomed. Therefore, he did not dare to die, and he could not die.
Later, he thought, he had endured those difficult years of being sent down to the countryside. Now, he was just a little achy and had trouble sleeping. But at least his family was together, and there were still many people in the family. Thinking this way, he could live a little easier and plan more for his children and grandchildren.
Maximize the benefits of existing personal connections, and then let his sons and adult grandchildren expand their personal connections as quickly as possible; only when he has secured the future of his children and grandchildren, will he be truly at ease!
