Chapter 978: Eat a hot meal at the teacher’s home

The senior fellows had moved her teacher’s belongings, and now even her senior fellow student Li came to startle her. Xie Wanying listened to Doctor Song, who was seated beside her, snickering non-stop in a way that was unlike his usual demeanor, as if he couldn’t contain his laughter.

Before driving off, Tao Zhijie took an envelope out of his briefcase and gave it to her.

"What’s this?" Xie Wanying asked as she took the envelope.

"It’s the extra bonus from the last time you went on the rural clinic outreach. Everyone got one. You’re a medical student and don’t have a payroll card, so the hospital asked me to give it to you separately."

"Senior, it’s not two hundred yuan inside, is it?" Xie Wanying asked cautiously, afraid that Senior Tao was just looking for an excuse to repay her those two hundred.

From the passenger seat, Gao Zhaocheng burst out laughing.

"You can open it and see how much is in there," Tao Zhijie said with a smile that crinkled his eyes, looking at her through the rearview mirror.

Xie Wanying immediately opened the envelope and counted the contents, a total of ten hundred-yuan bills. To her, this was definitely a sizable sum. It was said that Guoxie offered high salaries and great benefits, and it was evidently true. Otherwise, they wouldn’t give such a generous reward to her as an intern.

Seeing the expression of delight on her face, the two senior fellows in the front seemed very satisfied, with smiles on their corners of their lips.

The car returned to the Beidu Medical College staff dormitory building. Xie Wanying and Song Xueling got out of the car with their hands full of large and small bags, and made their way to Teacher Lu’s home.

As they lowered the car window, Tao Zhijie and Gao Zhaocheng did not forget to remind them, "Call us if you need anything."

The scent of cooking could be smelled even in the stairwell.

After ringing the doorbell,

The door opened. Seeing the sheer amount of stuff they were holding, Teacher Lu was quite alarmed, "Why did you buy so much?"

"Teacher, it’s not a lot. Your home always has guests, and with everyone taking a bite, it’ll be gone quickly." Xie Wanying, having been a guest at Teacher Zhuang’s home before, was quite familiar with the routine and didn’t wait for Teacher Lu to respond; she carried the fruit into the house and stuffed everything into the refrigerator.

Song Xueling could only assist her.

Seeing that he couldn’t stop the two of them, Teacher Lu closed the door, then turned to look at Song Xueling, "And he is?"

"He’s Doctor Song, teacher. He graduated from Beidu Medical College," Xie Wanying answered.

Ah, the renowned talent from Beidu, Teacher Lu thought cheerfully, calling into the room, "Shuping, your senior from college is here."

It seemed that Teacher Lu’s grandson had come home. A boy around eighteen or nineteen quickly emerged from the room, looking much like Teacher Lu with the same nose and eyes, and with a polite demeanor. Surprised and delighted to see a famous senior from Beidu, Zhang Shuping asked, "Is it Senior Song from surgery?"

Song Xueling nodded.

The grandson was happy, and so was Teacher Lu. He welcomed everyone, "Let’s eat first, and we can talk over dinner."

A spread of homemade dishes covered the table: bean pod bacon, corn pork bone soup, fried crispy fish, mushroom tofu minced meat pot, sautéed garlic sprouts with scrambled eggs, and a cold dish of century egg with chili oil.

Likely having prepared all day to host them, Teacher Lu watched the young people eat rice and dishes voraciously, not letting his culinary efforts go to waste.

"How’s senior fellow student Li?" Teacher Lu asked Xie Wanying.

"She’s under observation in cardiothoracic surgery for two days, but if all goes well, she should be home by tomorrow morning," Xie Wanying informed the teacher.

"Was it Senior Zhu who treated her?"

"No, Teacher Fu. It was at her request."

Upon hearing this information, Teacher Lu, along with everyone else, thought it was an appropriate arrangement.

"I hope to see the child born by the end of the year," Teacher Lu said, calculating the due date for the baby.

"Of course, no problem," Xie Wanying replied.
