Heizi gave birth to puppies relatively smoothly. He didn't need help from others. He knew exactly what to do when giving birth to puppies and how to replenish his energy during the birth.

Heizi gave birth to three puppies in total. One was pure black, and the other two were very colorful, with black, white, and yellow fur mixed together.

Cen Huaian squatted aside and witnessed the whole process of Heizi's birth. There was surprise in his eyes. So this is how puppies are born.

He watched Heizi's big eyes looking at his puppies with tears in his eyes. He stretched out his rough tongue and gently and carefully licked the afterbirth of the last pup. Cen Huaian didn't understand Heizi's behavior.

He looked up at Chuxia: "Mom, what is that layer that Heizi tore off the puppies? Why does he lick it off every one?"

Chuxia was looking for some old and warm clothes to prepare for Heizi and the puppies. Wen Yan said: "That is the afterbirth. The puppies can't breathe if they don't lick it off. It's good for Heizi to tear it off himself to cultivate his maternal instinct."

Cen Huaian continued to look at Heizi and the puppies. Cen Zhengnian reached out and touched his head: "An An, you think of names for these three puppies."

Heizi had already taken care of the last puppy. The three puppies hadn't opened their eyes yet. One of them climbed onto Heizi to suckle, one lay there and fell asleep, and the other crawled around, not knowing what it wanted to do.

Cen Huaian kept staring at the three puppies, thinking they were so small, the kind that he didn't dare to touch.

After hearing what Cen Zhengnian said, he thought for a while and said, "This one is called Xiaohei, this one is called Xiaohua, and this one is called Biandian."

Cen Huaian named the three puppies completely according to their colors, which suited them very well.

When Chuxia came over with the worn-out clothes, she happened to hear the three names that An An said, and laughed out loud, agreeing very much, "This is a good name, you can tell you are calling them three at once."

Cen Huaian's mouth curled up, he thought so too.

After covering Heizi and the puppies with warm cloth, Chuxia yawned and looked up at the clock hanging in the living room. It was almost two o'clock in the morning.

She pulled up Cen Huaian, who was still energetic and wanted to continue watching the puppy: "Go to bed, and watch it tomorrow."

Cen Zhengnian also stood up and looked at Cen Huaian: "I'll take you to the house."

Cen Huaian immediately turned around and went to his room: "Dad, I'll go to bed by myself."

Cen Zhengnian smiled, held Chuxia's hand, and the two returned to the room.

The next day, after learning that Heizi in Chuxia's family had given birth to a puppy, Jiang Zhida brought Zhang Lu and the others over.

"An An! Where's the puppy? We're here to see the puppy!"

As soon as Zhang Lu got out of the car, he couldn't wait to shout to Cen Huaian in the house, and ran into the house while shouting.

Cen Huaian was stunned when he heard the voice, and hurried to the door. Zhang Lu was about to run in, and the two almost bumped into each other.

"Where are the puppies born by Heizi?" Zhang Lu looked around in the living room as soon as he came in. He saw a doghouse in the corner of the living room near the backyard door and immediately ran over.

"Wow!" Crouching in front of the doghouse, Zhang Lu opened his mouth wide and was full of curiosity when he saw the puppies in it, which were only the size of a palm. "The puppies are so small! They haven't even opened their eyes!"

Jiang Weixian and Jiang Weixi also came in. Chuxia was off work today. She was surprised to see Jiang Weixi: "Did your cousin agree to let you bring her precious daughter over?"

Jiang Zhida smiled and said, "I said I wanted to come and see the puppies, and Xixi wanted to come here on her own."

Because the child was hard-won, Luo Peng usually doted on Jiang Weixi. Except for major issues, she would satisfy her daughter's wishes, such as seeing the puppies.

Luo Peng still has principles for Jiang Weixi. Although Jiang Zhishu looks like a strict father, he really dotes on Jiang Weixi unconditionally.

Fortunately, Jiang Weixi is usually taken care of by his brothers and sisters, and educated by his grandparents and great-grandfather, so he has not grown up in a crooked way.

Grandpa Jiang never spoils the younger generation. No matter who it is, if they make a mistake, they will be punished, and adults are not allowed to plead!

Luo Peng often brings Jiang Weixi to Grandpa Jiang's house, letting Xixi play with Zhang Lu, Cen Huaian and others. She talks to Chuxia and asks Chuxia about some health care matters.

Jiang Weixi was wearing thick clothes and had short legs. She was anxious to see the puppy. She tried to move forward with her calves, but she couldn't run very fast. Her little face showed anxiety: "Dog! Dog!"

Especially when she saw Zhang Lu and Jiang Weixian running over, she became even more anxious: "Pot! Dog!"

Jiang Weixi looked at Cen Huaian for help, pointing at the puppy, wanting Cen Huaian to help her.

Jiang Zhida stood aside with his arms around his chest, his mouth curled, and his eyes looking at the two children with interest. He didn't go to help, but just wanted to see how the two children would do it.

Chuxia didn't help either. The children's affairs, they could solve themselves.

Cen Huaian walked over, picked up Jiang Weixi from behind, and held her like a carrot, and walked to the front of the doghouse.

Jiang Weixi's little red cotton quilt was bulging and not at all docile, but she didn't care and followed Zhang Lu's example by squatting there to look at the puppies.

Jiang Zhida also walked over and heard An An and Zhang Lu and the other kids saying, "This is Xiao Hei, this is Xiao Hua, and this is Bian Dian."

Jiang Weixi pointed at Bian Dian and said, "Why isn't it called Xiao Hua? It's also Bian Dian."

Cen Huaian pointed at Xiao Hua and said, "Because it's called Xiao Hua, and it was born first."

Jiang Weixi nodded heavily, "I know, Bian Dian can't call her brother or sister by their names!"

Zhang Lu laughed, "Yes, that's it!"

Jiang Zhida looked at the three puppies with envy. He had wanted Hei Zi's puppies for a long time, but Hei Zi never gave birth.

Now Heizi finally gave birth to three puppies. Jiang Zhida rubbed his hands, his eyes full of excitement, looking at Xiaohei and Biandian one by one, hesitating which puppy to take.

He thought for a long time, stroking his chin and asked Cen Huaian: "An'an, how about giving Xiaohei to me?"

An'an looked at Xiaohei, a little reluctant, he liked all these puppies. But the family could not keep so many dogs.

He stood up and made way for Jiang Zhida: "Uncle, ask Heizi."

Jiang Zhida really squatted down, looked Heizi in the eye, took out a bone from somewhere, and asked him seriously: "Heizi, are you willing to let me raise the little Hei you gave birth to? I promise to raise it well. It will eat whatever I eat. I will raise it fat and will never treat it badly..."

Heizi had been looking at his puppies with drooping eyelids. He didn't react at all when he listened to Jiang Zhida's words. He just lowered his head and licked the heads of a few puppies.

Jiang Zhida was about to say dry his mouth, and the meat bone was eaten by Heizi and Huangzi, but he still didn't get Heizi's consent.

Jiang Zhida refused to give up, looked at Cen Huaian and said: "An An, Heizi may not understand what I say, you can relay my words to him, and make sure to express how I treat the puppy well, and see if Heizi will agree?"

Chu Xia stood by, seeing how anxious he was, and said: "The puppy is not even a month old, and you can't take it away now, you don't have to be so anxious to get Heizi's consent."

Jiang Zhida had his own set of views: "If I don't act quickly, "What if the puppy is taken away by someone else? I will be going to another city soon."

Cen Huaian: "Uncle, what if you go to other places and the puppy is given to you?"

Jiang Zhida patted his chest, motioned Chuxia and Cen Huaian to rest assured and said: "I will hire a nanny to take care of it."

Jiang Zhida said this, Cen Huaian was relieved to hand the puppy to him. He squatted in front of the doghouse and repeated what Jiang Zhida had just said to Heizi.

"Woof~" Heizi rubbed Cen Huaian's outstretched hand and nudged Xiao Hei towards Cen Huaian with his mouth.

Xiao Hei was sucking milk, and was suddenly nudged by his mother, and his body turned over several times. The puppy's face was confused, and he didn't know what happened, but he knew that the milk in his mouth was gone.

Xiao Hei was crawling on the ground, humming and groaning, using his face and nose to poke Heizi's fur, trying to get milk.

Heizi wanted to poke it with his mouth, but Cen Huaian held down his head and said, "Heizi, my cousin and I won't hold it for now."

In order to make it easier to raise the puppy, it must live with its mother for at least a month.

Otherwise, the puppy won't even open its eyes, and it's too fragile. If it's not taken care of properly, it might die.

Heizi seemed to understand what An An said, and his head lay down again. His whole body lay softly on the ground, revealing the soft fur on his belly. The three puppies crawled around on his belly, trying to get milk with their mouths.

Zhang Lu and Jiang Weixi were amazed, as if they had discovered a new continent. Every move of the puppy could cause them to exclaim.

Heizi had matured a lot, lying on his side. No matter how the puppy crawled or what the people around him said, he would not even lift his eyelids unless his master called him.

"Brother, I want to touch the puppy." Jiang Weixi glared at him with a pair of big eyes, which were filled with expectation, making it hard for people to refuse.

Cen Huaian looked at Chuxia.

Chuxia: "You can touch it once after washing your hands, but you can't touch it too much, as it will not be good for the puppy. Also, you need to ask Heizi's permission, or he might get angry."

But there was no need to worry about this, as Heizi was gentler than Huangzi and he listened to Cen Huaian.

Zhang Lu and Jiang Weixian also wanted to touch it.

The three children ran to the bathroom, not only washed their hands, but also soaped them twice before coming over to touch each puppy.

Although they just touched it, Jiang Weixi and the others were very satisfied. The puppy was really soft and could move. The expressions on their faces were extremely excited.

When Jiang Zhida took the three children away, they were still reluctant to leave and kept looking back at the dog in the doghouse.

Sitting in the car, Zhang Lu sighed loudly: "Uncle, I also want to raise a dog."

Jiang Weixi: "Raise it! Raise it! I want to raise one too!"

Jiang Zhida laughed "Hahaha", started the car and said: "If you want to raise a dog, you can, go home and ask your parents, and you can raise it if they agree."

The Spring Festival has passed for several days. Jiang Shengnan and Mr. Cen have taken a long leave, so they will spend the Lantern Festival in Beijing before leaving.

However, the vacation of Cen Zhengshi's family is not that long, they have to go back to the army.

Chuxia and Anan didn't want to see them off, but Jiang Shengnan called Cen Zhengnian.

They are brothers, they had such a good relationship in the past, and they didn't quarrel on the surface. It would be embarrassing not to go to see them off, and it would not look good.

Cen Zhengnian couldn't ask for leave again. He had several days of Spring Festival vacation, and he asked for leave in the middle. Now it's a busy time at work.

Chuxia didn't want to ask for leave to see them off, and said to Jiang Shengnan directly: "Mom, the hospital is busy. I just asked for leave before, so it's not easy to ask for it again. Zhengnian can't ask for leave either."

Jiang Shengnan understood that young people must put work first. But Anan hasn't started school yet, Xiaozhu drove to pick up Cen Huaian, which can be regarded as the attitude of Cen Zhengnian and Chuxia.

Cen Zhengshi understood Cen Zhengnian and Chuxia, one had a special unit and the other was busy in the hospital.

But when she saw that it was Cen Huaian who came to send them off on behalf of Cen Zhengnian's family, Xiwang's smile was a little hard to hold.

She frowned and whispered to Cen Zhengshi: "Are your brother and Chuxia that busy?"

Cen Zhengshi pulled her arm: "Yes."

Xiwang curled her lips in disbelief. She felt that it was Cen Zhengnian and his wife who had a bad attitude towards the two of them and had no respect for them, as they were the eldest brother and sister-in-law.

However, Jiang Shengnan and Cen's father were beside them, so Xiwang did not dare to say anything loudly.

Cen Huaian did not go to the station with them, and Cen's father and Jiang Shengnan did not go either. One car could not accommodate so many people, and there was so much luggage.

Therefore, several people just sent Xiwang's family to the gate, watched the car drive away, and went back.

Cen Huaian did not speak again except for the polite greeting at the beginning.

After the people left, he suddenly became very relaxed, and the heavy stone in Jiang Shengnan and Cen's father's heart was removed.

"An An's birthday is coming soon, what gift do you want? You can secretly tell grandpa and grandma, and grandpa and grandma will buy it for you!"

Jiang Shengnan touched Cen Huaian's head and expressed her love for her grandson without disguising.

Before, the eldest brother's family was there, and Jiang Shengnan was afraid that Xi Wang would think too much, so she always restrained her attitude towards Cen Huaian.

But if she had to say who she liked, she liked An An the most. She also loved Cen Huaize and Cen Huaixin, but Jiang Shengnan herself knew that her feelings for Xiaoze Xinxin were not as strong as for An An.

After all, one of them could be seen every once in a while, and he was well-behaved, sensible and filial, and often wrote letters to her and Cen's father. The other two were rarely seen, received no letters, and were very naughty.

They gave Jiang Shengnan a headache when they lived in the courtyard. They were a generation apart, so she couldn't control them.

But Father Cen didn't care. He would scold Cen Zheng when the two children went too far, and he would restrict the two children later. Xiwang could only sulk by himself when he was angry.

Cen Huaian didn't want anything, but now he has everything he wants. But when he saw the expectant eyes of his grandpa and grandma, he thought seriously and said, "I want a big cake."

Cen Huaian is still being controlled by Chu Xia to eat sweets. His teeth have not yet been replaced completely, and recently one of his teeth has become loose, and he doesn't know when it will fall out.

Therefore, Cen Huaian is allowed to eat very little sweets every day, and he has to rinse his mouth quickly after eating.

When he first started to replace his teeth, Cen Huaian was in elementary school, and his front teeth fell out first. He didn't talk much to begin with, and he talked even less at that time. It is possible that he would not say a word all day, and when he spoke, it was difficult.

When Zhang Lu saw his appearance at that time, she loved to tease him to talk or make him laugh. But she rarely succeeded, unless Cen Huaian wanted to talk himself.

The tooth replacement process lasted for so long that Cen Huaian had become accustomed to losing and growing teeth. His lower front teeth were thrown onto the roof by his mother, and his upper front teeth were thrown on the ground.

There is no scientific basis for this. The older generation said that teeth grow faster this way. This is what her grandfather did when she was changing her teeth in early summer, and she treated An An the same way.

Except for family birthdays, An An rarely eats cake. Cake is too sweet, and eating too much is bad for teeth.

When Jiang Shengnan and Mr. Cen heard his wish, which was very easy to achieve, they immediately smiled and nodded: "Sure! I can buy it for you today. What else do you want?"

Cen Huaian shook his head: "Grandma, Grandpa, I have everything, there is nothing else I want."

Jiang Shengnan wanted to continue asking, and Mr. Cen said: "It's a surprise if you don't know the birthday gift. Now that An An has said it, there is no surprise."

"Yes, yes, yes." Jiang Shengnan stopped asking about An An's birthday gift and asked what An An had done at home in the past few days.

Cen Huaian talked about the birth of the puppy at home, and also told Jiang Shengnan and Cen's father in detail the whole process of Heizi giving birth to puppies that he saw, and the appearance of the puppies when they were just born. Jiang Shengnan

and Cen's father listened very seriously, as if they had never seen it before, and asked a few more specific questions about An An from time to time.

The atmosphere in the entire courtyard was particularly warm at this time.

Cen Huaian spent his birthday at Grandpa Jiang's house. All the children came, and the adults also came.

Because today is not only An An's birthday, but also the Lantern Festival, everyone originally planned to celebrate the holiday at Grandpa Jiang's house.

When Jiang Shengnan and Cen's father came, they were carrying a very large cake. Several children saw it and cheered. Zhang Lu and Jiang Weixi's eyes were shining when they looked at the cake!

"Gao Gao! Gao Gao!" Jiang Weixi pulled Cen Huaian's arm, wanting him to pick her up so she could touch the cake.

Before Cen Huaian could do anything, Luo Peng pulled her aside and said, "Xixi, no, it's not time to eat the cake yet."

Jiang Weixi pouted, her whole face showing a disappointed expression.

Cen Huaian: "Auntie, cut a piece for Xixi first."

This was the cake that Jiang Shengnan and Cen's father bought for Cen Huaian, and he was willing to give it to Jiang Weixi first.

"An An, don't cut it." Luo Peng gently refused: "Don't get used to her like that. She knows everything. If you let her do it this time, she will ask for it again in other things in the future."

After that, Luo Peng looked at Jiang Zhishu again: "Zhishu, you can't buy it

for Xixi either." Luo Peng's voice did not have a commanding tone. No matter what she said, it was very gentle. But whether it was Jiang Weixi or Jiang Zhishu, they all listened to her. One stopped talking about eating cake, and the other suppressed the idea of ​​taking the girl to buy it.

The most important thing about the Lantern Festival is to set off lanterns. Grandpa Jiang didn't have lanterns at home, so Jiang Zhida took Cen Huaian and others out to buy them.

Of course, there are small orange lanterns at night, but beautiful lanterns are also necessary. Jiang Weixi likes those red, green and colorful lanterns the most, and he is reluctant to let go.

The streets are very lively now, with all kinds of vendors. There are also one or two billiard tables on the street. Some young people wear leather jackets and bell-bottom pants in the winter and gather around the billiard tables to play billiard.

Several children are not interested in billiard, so they just look at the small gadgets sold on the street.

Every time An An sees a used book stall with books, he will squat down to see if there are any books he wants to buy.

There are all kinds of books on the used book stall, but most of them are books with colorful covers and unspeakable contents about men and women.

Cen Huaian didn't understand what it was, and was about to turn the pages of a storybook when Jiang Zhida saw it with his sharp eyes and quickly reached out to snatch the book from his hand: "An'an, you can't read this book?"

Cen Huaian blinked, with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Uncle, why can't I read it?"

Jiang Weixi squatted beside him and imitated him: "Why can't I read it?" She liked Cen Huaian and always followed him. Cen Huaian held him and didn't let go even when he was looking for a book.

Jiang Zhida had a headache. How could he explain it? He shook his head twice: "Anyway, it's not what you should read." He also glanced at the stall owner: "Next time, please put this kind of book more obscurely!"

The stall owner was amused by his words: "I just sell this book to young people like you. Who would buy it if I put it more obscurely? Go away, don't affect my business if you don't buy it."

Cen Huaian's eyes showed contemplation. He stood up with Jiang Zhida's strength and took another look at the books. He seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing.

However, next time he encounters a book stall with many colorful covers, Cen Huaian will not stop to read it, nor will he flip through it.

The advantage of the second-hand book stall is that you can find many comics and novels that are no longer published, as well as strange books collected from various places.

Cen Huaian also found a handwritten medical manual. He didn't know whether the content was good or not, but it was not expensive, so he bought it and prepared to show it to his mother.

He bought a lot of comic books and books of strange stories, which was an aspect he had never been exposed to before.

Jiang Weixi didn't know how to read, but she could understand pictures. She followed Cen Huaian to flip through the books and found a book with pictures of characters from various mythological stories. She held it tightly.

"It's beautiful, uncle will buy it!"

Jiang Weixi was only three years old, but she knew who had money and who would buy it for her.

Jiang Zhida's eyes were fixed on the pool table. When he heard what Jiang Weixi said, he smiled and pinched her nose: "Little smart guy, you only know how to ask me for money."

Jiang Zhida not only settled the bill for Jiang Weixi, but also paid for Cen Huaian's books at the same time.

Cen Huaian said he would buy it himself. Jiang Zhida patted his head and said, "Why do you have to think so much, kid? You follow your uncle out and let a kid like you spend money. Where is my face? Let's go!"

It happened that Zhang Lu was standing at a stall selling toy knives, guns, and sticks. He took a fancy to a toy and kept waving at Jiang Zhida and the others, "Uncle, here! Here!"

In the end, in addition to the lantern, Jiang Zhida bought a bunch of things for the group of kids. In the end, he was the one who put the things in the car and then took them out of the car.

"Brother, cousin."

Several children were sitting in front of the tea table in the living room and sharing the things they bought. Jiang Zhida called Jiang Zhishu and Chuxia, looking like he had something to ask them.

Chuxia stood up, and Cen Zhengnian followed her. The four of them entered Grandpa Jiang's study.

"I just saw a billiard table on the street. Now billiard seems to have suddenly become more and more popular."

There were some before, but not so many. With the policy opening up, billiard tables began to appear on the streets, and this sport is also very popular among young people.

Chuxia can also see that with the gradual opening up of society, many entertainment activities have begun to appear, not only billiard tables, but also game consoles and roller skating rinks.

In early summer, I took An An to roller skate. We went to the underground roller skating rink in Jingcheng Ditan. There were a lot of people inside, and the queues were very long.

But roller skating there was really fun, and An An also liked this sport.

In winter, there are ice skating rinks in Shichahai and Beihai Park. Zhang Lu often asked Cen Huaian and Jiang Weixian to go skating together. There were

also sleds and dog sleds on the ice rink, which were very fun. Many adults and children played there, and they played all day long. If they were hungry, they would buy a roasted sweet potato to eat. It was the most beautiful.

Chuxia nodded, looked at Jiang Zhida and asked, "Do you also want to buy two billiard tables and put them on the street?"

Jiang Zhishu said, "There are probably not many places on the street now." Jiang

Zhida shook his head and said, "I want to open a billiard hall. Xiaoran and I grew up together, and our friends' friends prefer to play billiard in the billiard hall rather than on the street."

Chuxia pondered and said, "If we open a billiard hall, we might as well expand the scale and add a roller skating rink."

These two entertainment activities are not contradictory, and we can also sell food and drinks inside. We can set up a hall specifically for guests to eat and drink when they are hungry and thirsty, and decorate a few more private rooms. Some people will like it.

Speaking of this, Chuxia had a lot of ideas. Isn't it just about having fun for people to enjoy? She had come into contact with a lot of them in her later life. The

more Jiang Zhida listened, the brighter his eyes became. Jiang Zhishu also looked at Chuxia with some surprise. He also thought of the roller skating rink that Chuxia mentioned, but he didn't have as many ideas as her in terms of capturing the psychology of customers.

Cen Zhengnian has always known that Chuxia has this talent. He was surprised when he saw Chuxia giving Jiang Zhida advice for the first time and speaking so well. No

matter what Chuxia said later, he would not be surprised. Cen Zhengnian thought that she was like this and she was supposed to be so outstanding.

"Cousin! You said exactly what I want. I just want to build a billiard hall like this and add a roller skating rink!"

He had the idea, but lacked money and land.

But there is no need to worry about this. Jiang Zhida is willing to invest half of the money. His business is big, mainly electrical appliances and other things. It has already been established and he is not short of money.

Jiang Zhida said, "I will go to my friends and get more investment. Some of them have more connections than me."

If you want to build a big roller skating rink and billiard hall, you can't do it alone. It's about making money. Who would complain about having too much money?

After discussing it, several people walked out of the study. Jiang Zhida couldn't suppress the excitement on his face.

But no one asked him. Everyone was busy celebrating An An's birthday.

Everyone gave An An a birthday present, even Jiang Weixi.

"Brother, mua~" Jiang Weixi hugged Cen Huaian and kissed him on the face. After the kiss, she grinned and said, "Brother, a gift!"

Jiang Zhishu's face turned black. He often told Jiang Weixi that his favorite gift was Xixi kissing him after he got off work, which would make him feel less tired for the day.

He didn't expect Xixi to give Cen Huaian this gift directly.

Cen Huaian raised the corners of his mouth, rubbed Xixi's head and said, "I like it very much."

Jiang Weixi finally ate the big cake she wanted to eat the most. She was given a big piece. She stood in front of the table and ate it with a spoon, and didn't let her mother help.

As a result, her whole face was covered with white cream, and her clothes were also stained with it, and she became a little cat again.

At night, before going to bed, Cen Huaian went into his parents' bedroom and gave Chuxia the medical manual he bought at the street stall.

"Mom, I saw it at the used book stall today. Can you see if it's useful?"

The paper of the medical manual was very old, and some of the words inside were a little blurry and damaged.

But as soon as Chuxia turned the first page, she knew that this manual was a record of real cases of Chinese medicine treating patients and saving lives.

She couldn't help but sit up straight, and turned a few pages back with some excitement. The more she read, the more delighted she was. This manual was very useful to her.

Although the records were all very minor diseases and the treatment prescriptions were very small, it made up for her lack of knowledge in this area.

"It's useful! An'an, mom likes this manual you gave her so much." Chuxia smiled widely at Cen Huaian.

Cen Huaian also smiled as Chuxia did, and the joy in his heart surged up.

Jiang Zhida had originally planned to go out after the Lantern Festival, but now he is not going out anymore, concentrating on the roller skating rink and billiard hall.

For the factory in Guangzhou, Jiang Zhida got orders from Beijing and also got an investment from his friend.

He was so busy that he had no time to rest, but everything was going on in an orderly manner.

Chuxia was also busy, not only with the hospital affairs, but Jiang Zhida also often came to her to ask about the details of building the entertainment venue, and she also had to deal with graduation matters.

She had decided not to take the postgraduate entrance examination and was preparing for job assignment.

Old Mrs. Tang asked Chu Xia: "If you study for a master's degree, you can follow me directly."

"Teacher, do you think I have the ability to treat patients independently?"

Chu Xia did not answer Old Mrs. Tang's question, but asked her this question directly.

Old Mrs. Tang looked into Chu Xia's eyes, and after a while, she nodded: "You do. But if you further your studies, your ability will be stronger."

"But I also need to contact real patients. I want to make more progress. I can only see more patients."

Old Mrs. Tang frowned: "Most of the time as a graduate student, you also followed me to study in the hospital."

Chu Xia shook her head: "Teacher, it is because following you will make me dependent, and I need to train alone."

Others do not know Chu Xia's situation, but Chu Xia knows that she has no shortage of experience of internship with teachers. Whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, she does not need to continue to study for a master's degree. What she needs at the beginning is a diploma.

In the past few years of school, in addition to the textbook knowledge taught by the teacher, she also read a lot of other books and learned a lot of knowledge. Chuxia wanted to put it into practice.

Mrs. Tang did not force Chuxia anymore. She left her contact information and asked Chuxia to ask her any questions.

In the following days of internship, Mrs. Tang was more strict with Chuxia and assigned her more tasks.

"Chuxia."

After work in the afternoon, Chuxia was about to go home with her things when she was stopped by Ye Mengchun. Her face, which usually had no expression, was a little complicated at this time.

"Today the teacher asked me if I wanted to study as her graduate student."

Chuxia said "um", with confusion in her eyes.

Why did Ye Mengchun tell her this?

"I want to study. I even asked the teacher if I wanted to study, and the teacher said no, why?"

When Ye Mengchun said this, there was a hint of jealousy and more confusion in Chuxia's eyes.

She knew that Chuxia was very talented in Chinese medicine and was also very much liked by the teacher. Ye Mengchun always thought that she and Chuxia were not much different, and they held the same position in the teacher's heart.

But when it came to studying for a master's degree, she realized that the two were different. The teacher valued Chuxia more, and after considering Chuxia, she was next.

This was a big blow to someone who had been exposed to Chinese herbal medicine and studied Chinese medicine since childhood. What's more, Ye Mengchun still had her own pride, which was an even bigger blow.

"I want to work faster, I'm not alone."

Chuxia didn't tell Ye Mengchun the real reason, and she didn't tell Mrs. Tang that she actually had other medical experience.

Ye Mengchun frowned, with disbelief and deep disappointment in his eyes: "Just because of your family, you have to give up further studies? Haven't you thought about yourself?"

Chuxia looked at her and smiled. Ye Mengchun was indeed jealous of her, but they also sympathized with each other. She wanted to meet Chuxia at the top.

"I'm just thinking for myself. Working doesn't mean I won't learn anymore, and how do you know I won't learn more after I start working?"

Ye Mengchun stared at Chuxia's eyes for a while, shook his head: "I really don't know, but I know that postgraduate study will definitely improve."

Chuxia looked at Ye Mengchun and smiled: "Then I hope you can go one step further and become better and better in the future."

Ye Mengchun: "You too."

Chuxia nodded, turned around and continued to walk out. Ye Mengchun suddenly shouted behind her: "Chuxia, don't let me down!"

Chuxia didn't turn around, raised her hand and waved, and walked into the afterglow of the sunset at the entrance of the hospital, her shadow was stretched very long.

Cen Huaian started school.

After school started, he brought a lot of Olympiad papers and books to class. His classmates had all gone crazy during the holidays, and only a few did their winter vacation homework. Now they are all cramming their homework.

They like to copy Cen Huaian's homework, and Cen Huaian doesn't mind. After handing in the homework, any classmates can copy it as long as they don't lose his homework.

Just for this reason, Cen Huaian is extremely popular in the class. In addition, he is young, so he is considered the darling of the class.

"Cen Huaian, our school built a skating rink on the east side of the playground during the winter vacation. Have you come to play?"

Cen Huaian was sorting out his Olympiad questions when he heard the excited voice of the person in front of him.

Cen Huaian nodded: "No."

The students of the Affiliated Middle School are basically from the Family College of the Research Institute. The Family College also has teachers working in the Affiliated Middle School. It is no secret that the school has an ice rink.

In fact, it is not really built. It is just a skating rink poured according to the weather for children to play during the winter vacation, and adults also come to play.

When spring comes and flowers bloom, the ice melts and the skating rink is gone.

The person at the front desk was very surprised and regretful: "Why haven't I seen you before? Why didn't you come to play? It's so fun. Don't you know how to skate? I'll teach you!"

In fact, Cen Huaian mainly spent the New Year and prepared for the National Mathematics League. He and Zhang Lu also went to Beihai Park to skate, so he was not that curious about the school's ice rink.

But when Cen Huaian came to school, he didn't bring skates, so he couldn't go.

On Sunday, the martial arts teacher had something to do, so Zhang Lu said, "The skating rink will be closed soon, so let's go skating!"

Several children got excited and ran to Beihai Park with their skates.
