Chapter 793: Study Chinese Medicine or Western Medicine?
The Chinese New Year is really only a few days away, and the provincial leaders understand Xu Shiyan’s desire to go home as soon as possible.
So this celebration was not so long-winded.
On the 27th, a commendation meeting was held at the Provincial Hotel, and all participating students and teachers were invited.
At the meeting, the leaders praised the winning students and distributed prizes and bonuses.
Students who participated in the competition but did not win any prizes were also given souvenirs to encourage them.
Reporters from major news media in the province were also present, and some even interviewed Xu Haiyuan.
Especially, dig deeper into Xu Haiyuan’s desire to study medicine.
Not only did I interview Xu Haiyuan and Xu Shiyan, but I also interviewed the principal of the High School Affiliated to the Normal University and Xu Haiyuan’s teacher, hoping that they would also express their opinions.
In this regard, the principal and teachers of the High School Affiliated to the Normal University unanimously expressed their full support for Xu Haiyuan's decision.
No matter what major Xu Haiyuan wants to study in the future, that is the child's freedom.
The school only has the responsibility to teach and educate people and cultivate children to become talents, and has no right to interfere with children's ideals and future.
At the same time, Xu Haiyuan's teacher also told reporters that Xu Haiyuan has been studying medicine with famous teachers since he was nine years old.
I passed the Traditional Chinese Medicine Physician Qualification Examination before my freshman year of high school and already obtained the qualification certificate, so it is normal for people to study medicine.
The media in the provincial capital are very familiar with Xu Shiyan and know that Dongfang Ginseng Industry Group has health care product factories and pharmaceutical factories under its umbrella.
Currently, the largest Jishengyuan health products company in China is run by Su Anying.
Therefore, it is completely normal for the Xu family to train a medical student.
Especially when they learned that Xu Haiyuan's master was Chu Xuanhuai, what else could they say?
It is said that a famous teacher produces a good apprentice. It would be a waste if such a child does not study medicine.
Of course, there were also people with ulterior motives who wanted to create a topic and deliberately asked Xu Haiyuan whether he planned to study Chinese medicine or Western medicine.
"My master has been learning ancestral medical skills since he was a child. When he became an adult, he went abroad to study Western medicine, and then returned to China to cultivate medical talents for the country.
Now that he is old, he still does not forget to treat illnesses and save people, and devotes himself to the study of medical skills.
I have been taught by my master for many years and have never had any prejudice against Chinese or Western medicine.
In my opinion, regardless of Chinese or Western medicine, a doctor who can cure diseases and save people is a good doctor.
Traditional Chinese medicine does not mean that it is backward, nor does Western medicine mean that it is advanced. It would be best if they could complement each other.
If you can’t do that, there is no need to discriminate against anyone.”
Facing reporters' sharp questions, Xu Haiyuan was neither humble nor overbearing, with a calm and natural attitude, and explained his own views.
Xu Haiyuan's answer won everyone's approval, and there was fierce applause.
Xu Shiyan looked at his calm son on the stage and felt extremely proud.
But at the same time, he also reminded himself that he needed to talk to his master and plan Xu Haiyuan's next path.
After all, you can only choose one university, Chinese medicine or Western medicine, you have to make a decision.
After the commendation meeting, there will be a celebration banquet in the evening.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xu Shiyan brought Xu Jinping and Yang Haoyu in front of Principal Liang.
Principal Liang was very satisfied with these two children and told them that when school starts on March 1st next year, they would come directly to the provincial capital to study.
Since Xu Haiyuan set up the intensive class, the effect has been very remarkable.
The school decided to continue this pattern. All students recommended for admission will enter the school in advance to prepare for the next three major high school subject competitions.
On the 28th, Xu Shiyan and his party picked up Chu Xuanhuai and went home to celebrate the New Year.
Xu Shiyan had called home before and discussed with Xu Chenghou not to make it so grand this time.
After all, Xu Shixian and others are very busy with work, so it’s not easy to bother them every time.
Let’s wait until the 27th or 8th day of the twelfth lunar month to decide whether to kill pigs or sheep. Is it different when to celebrate?
When Xu Shiyan called, he thought Xu Chenghou would be unhappy. Unexpectedly, the old man agreed very happily.
Xu Shiyan had a bit of a painting spirit in his heart. He felt that something was not right, but he couldn't explain it.
When the group arrived home on the afternoon of the 29th, there was no pig slaughtering to celebrate, but Zhou Guilan made some dumplings.
Seeing their parents, brothers and sisters back, Xu Jinhui and Xu Haiqing jumped up for joy, hugged their brothers and sisters and refused to let go.
Over there, Mr. and Mrs. Xu Chenghou were also smiling, but their smiles seemed to have a slightly different flavor.
Especially Zhou Guilan, the smile on her face seemed a bit forced.
Xu Shiyan felt strange, so he asked Xu Chenghou while Zhou Guilan and Su Anying were cooking dumplings.
"Dad, what happened at home? Why do I look at you and my mother not very happy?"
When Xu Chenghou heard this, he sighed.
"Oh, don't mention it. Didn't our Feng'er go on winter vacation a while ago? We brought our partner back.
Her partner didn't have much to choose from in appearance, and he was a nice person, but his home was too far away.
Over there in Baicheng, there is a place called Zhenlai."
When Xu Chenghou said this, Xu Shiyan immediately understood.
Xu Jinfeng had a date at school, his surname was Lu, and his name was Lu Wensong. His family was from Zhenlai, very close to the grassland.
Even though it belongs to Ji Province, it is quite difficult to get there from here.
You have to take a train from Songjianghe to Baishan, reverse the train from Baishan to the provincial capital, then take a bus from the provincial capital to Baicheng, and then take a bus from Baicheng to get there.
It will be better in a few years when the expressway is built, but now, it is really troublesome to go there.
In the previous life, when Xu Jinfeng brought her partner back, Xu Chenghou was already gone.
Xu Shixian didn't have much work at that time. He just went to Yangcheng to sell ginseng, so he still lived in the bungalow on Baishan Street in Songjiang River.
Knowing that the person his daughter was looking for was far away, Xu Shixian began to act like a monster.
That guy was crying. He was standing in the yard cracking firewood, crying at the same time.
I feel that the place my daughter is looking for is too far away. If something happens at home in the future, my daughter will not be able to come back.
Not only did Xu Shixian act like a demon, Zhou Guilan also acted very seriously at that time, sitting on the kang all day long and shedding tears.
Xu Jinfeng is the first child of the Xu family, and can be said to be the most favored one.
The uncles and aunts at home are all in great pain, not to mention the grandparents.
She has been with Zhou Guilan since she was weaned, and has always been hugged by Zhou Guilan to sleep with.
So when she learned that her granddaughter had found someone so far away, Zhou Guilan thought, what if she couldn't even see her eldest granddaughter for the last time when she couldn't breathe?
】
At that time, Xu Shixian was holding back his energy and wanted to get his daughter into trouble.
Maybe Jinfeng had a very bad temper and it was hard to control, but Huang was not disturbed.
After Xu Jinfeng graduated, Lu Wensong's father came over with gifts to propose marriage.
Guarantee the Xu family that as long as the Xu family agrees to marry their daughter, they will not treat Xu Jinfeng badly in the slightest.
Things had come to this point, and the Xu family was really at a loss, so they finally agreed to the marriage.
Xu Jinfeng graduated in the summer and got a job, and married in Zhenlai in the winter.
The Lu family really kept their promise and never treated their daughter-in-law poorly.
Later, the couple even contributed money to buy a house for Xu Shixian and his wife. During the New Year and holidays, they would come back no matter how far away they were.
When Zhou Guilan passed away, Xu Jinfeng and Lu Wensong drove back from such a distance to see the old lady off for the last time.
"Dad, what is my eldest brother's attitude? Where are you and my mother? What do you think?"
Xu Shiyan guessed in his heart that Xu Shixian must still become a demon.
His eldest brother is so petty that he has cried countless times these days.
"What do you think? Your eldest brother and sister-in-law just said that it's too far over there, it's poor, and it's not as good as us.
Although Xiao Lu and his family are in pretty good condition, your eldest brother always feels that they are not worthy of our family.
As for your mother, she feels that her granddaughter, who she brought up with her own hands, is marrying so far away all of a sudden.
It makes me panic to think that I won’t be able to come back even once a year from now on.
If we close our eyes one day, Xiao Feng'er may not be able to come back to see us for the last time."
Xu Chenghou sighed and knocked the pot on the edge of the kang.
When Xu Shiyan heard this, he realized that these two women were still acting like monsters as they had in their previous lives.
Lu Wensong's father is the principal of Zhenlai Technical School, and he is considered a person of some status there, and his family conditions are not bad.
In his previous life, Xu Shixian just made some money, but his status was not as good as others.
In this life, Xu Shixian has a job, and his position is not low. Coupled with the brothers Xu Shixiang, Xu Shide, and Xu Shiyan, he is indeed much better than the Lu family.
"Dad, what about you? What do you think?" Xu Shiyan asked again.
"I don't think it's a big deal. The child is promising and it's normal to be far away from home.
Let’s just talk about our family. Didn’t Yuanyuan go to the provincial capital to study for two years? Will Pingping also have to go to the provincial capital next?
In the future, when they take the college entrance examination, I guess they will have to go to a provincial capital at least, right?
If you don't have enough guarantees, you will be able to go further in the future. If something goes wrong, you will have to go abroad.
So how can we stop it? As long as it is good for the children, no matter how far we go, we have to support it."
Xu Chenghou is indeed not a simple person, and most of the time he has a very long-term vision.
Xu Shiyan nodded, his father was still reliable.
That's right. How can an elder interfere in a child's marriage?
In his previous life, Lu Wensong and Xu Jinfeng had been married for so many years, and their relationship had always been very good.
Xu Jinfeng said whatever he said was true, and he really told us to go east and never to the west.
If this is really messed up, where can I find such a good uncle?
"Well, my dad still sees things in the long term.
Since our Feng'er and Xiao Lu have such a good relationship, we can't mess with this matter.
You said that if things get messed up, something will happen to Feng'er in the future, or maybe she doesn't want to find a partner anymore?"
Xu Shiyan's words are not alarmist.
In his previous life, his second niece Xu Jinxiu also went to banking university.
I have a crush at school, it's from Jingyu's side, so they're not too far away.
As a result, Xu Shixian found out, and there was another big fuss.
Xu Jinxiu didn't have the courage of her eldest sister, and her family didn't let her do it, so she really broke up with her.
After I came back, I refused to find a partner. I waited until I was twenty-eight before I went on a blind date and found someone to marry.
At that time, I looked at Xu Jinxiu as a nice man, tall and polite.
But whoever thinks that if he drinks some wine, he will no longer be him. He will become a completely different person. He will be a bastard if he beats his father and scolds his mother.
That's all. The key is that the young man has familial diabetes. He is only in his thirties and is not in good health. He has had several operations on his eyes.
Xu Jinxiu's son was also affected.
When I was three or two years old, I was diagnosed with vision problems and glaucoma. A few years after I started school, I developed severe myopia.
No one in the family dared to give the child candy for fear of causing some disease.
Secretly, the relatives at home also felt sorry for Xu Jinxiu.
If that person hadn't separated at the beginning, maybe it would have been a different story.
"Yes, you are right.
When you have time, call your elder brother and advise him not to fool around.
The child's marriage is determined, and since our Feng'er is optimistic about it, it doesn't matter how far away it is, as long as Xiao Lu is good to her."
Xu Chenghou nodded, feeling a little more comfortable listening to his third son's words.
"Your elder brother listens to you the most now. If you tell him, he will listen."
"Okay, I'll call my elder brother after dinner is over."
Xu Shiyan simply nodded and agreed. He really needed to talk about this matter carefully and let Xu Shi change his mind first and stop being a monster.
As soon as they finished talking, the dumplings were cooked and put on the table. Zhou Guilan called on Chu Xuanhuai and Xu Shiyan's family to eat quickly.
Everyone is hungry. How can we care about the delicious dumplings in front of us? Just eat them quickly.
"Milk, is this stuffed with celery?" Xu Haiyuan took a bite of the dumpling and tasted it. It was clearly made from celery.
“There are not only those made from celery, but also those made from shepherd’s purse and acanthopanax.
You haven't come back since you left after the New Year. I guess you miss this one.
In the spring, people sent a lot of them, and I picked them, blanched them, and put them in the freezer, just waiting for you to come back and eat them."
Speaking of which, no one loves her children as much as Zhou Guilan. She will prepare everything she can think of for her children.
"Eat quickly. When you get back, just tell me what you want to eat and I will make it for you."
As Zhou Guilan spoke, she picked a few more dumplings with other fillings from the plate.
She wrapped it in several different ways, you can see it.
The family happily ate, and as soon as they gave up their son, Xu Shiyan went to call Xu Shixian.
The two brothers chatted on the phone for half an hour. Finally, Xu Shixian agreed not to interfere in his daughter's marriage and agreed that Xu Jinfeng and Lu Wensong would be together.
Xu Shiyan is not done yet, he must make his eldest brother agree not to interfere with Xu Jinxiu's marriage in the future.
You must know that Xu Jinxiu will take the college entrance examination next year and will probably go to a banking school like he did in his previous life.
Xu Shiyan was worried about his second niece. He was afraid that Xu Shi would become a monster first and delay his second niece's life.
What can Xu Shixian do? Can he refuse to agree?
Now Xu Shiyan is the one who keeps the word in the Xu family. Even if Xu Shixian is the eldest brother, he still has to give face to his third younger brother.
After finishing his elder brother's work, Xu Shiyan chatted with his mother for a long time, and finally persuaded the old lady not to interfere in it.
It was approaching the New Year, and everyone at home and work was busy. Xu Shiyan went back to the company to do some work the next day.
Zhou Guilan and Su Anying led their children to clean up at home and prepare for the New Year.
Originally, Xu Chenghou was thinking of killing another pig to celebrate the New Year.
But we don’t raise pigs at home, and Xu Shiyan’s work unit distributed a lot of pork this year.
In addition, Guo Shouye and others sent it, and the warehouse was filled with people of all ages, so there was no way to finish the food. Why would there be any need to kill more pigs? Xu Chenghou had no choice but to give up.
This year is New Year's Eve on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, brothers Xu Shixian, Xu Shixiang, and Xu Shide came back with their families.
"Dad, Mom, um, I've been transferred to another job. I'm going to be a deputy in the city's Finance Bureau after the year."
As soon as he walked in, Xu Shixiang quickly told his parents the good news.
When Xu Shiyan heard this, he smiled and congratulated his brother. From deputy bureau of the county finance bureau to the city, this was another big step.
"Third brother, have you heard? Recently, many cadres in the province have been transferred. Several people from the city have moved to the province."
Xu Shixiang came up to Xu Shiyan and asked in a low voice.
"Well, I heard that some people made mistakes at work and suffered serious dereliction of duty, so some were dismissed directly and some were transferred from their posts."
Of course Xu Shiyan knew. Guan Enxue told him so when he accompanied his daughter to the provincial capital.
He was informed of all transfer lists in advance.
This kind of thing is actually very common and nothing unusual.
Those people were having so much fun back then, so they had to have the understanding that they would be liquidated after failure.
No one is a soft persimmon. I didn't have an attack at that time, not because I was afraid, but because I didn't want others to see the traces.
There are some things that everyone knows very well and tacitly understands.
When personnel are transferred, if they are demoted, they will definitely be promoted.
Lin Qiyue was transferred to the province, and Chen Jianzhang became the second-in-command in the city.
Chang Hongfa, who has reached retirement age, will retire and go home to retire after the new year.
What is more unexpected is Zhou Qingguo, who took over Chang Hongfa's position.
At the age of 40, he is already the top leader in the county. His future is definitely bright.
Xu Shixiang is not bad either. He became deputy director of the Municipal Finance Bureau when he was only thirty-six.
As long as he works hard and doesn't stretch his hands too far, the road ahead will be smooth.
So Xu Shiyan looked for an opportunity and had a talk with his brother. I don't know if it would be of any use. Anyway, the brother had done his best.
Xu Shixian has not been transferred this time. He is still the deputy director of the county's Propaganda Department and concurrently the chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
Xu Shixian has a strong writing style and writes good articles, but his personality is really not suitable for him to go elsewhere. It is better to be honest and talk about publicity, and don't mess around.
Xu Shide was transferred to Beigang Town for two and a half years and did a good job. He is expected to be promoted to the top.
However, since his academic qualifications are not good, it is hard to say where he will go in the future.
Some people stay at the top level throughout their lives, and some people have a smooth journey through the ranks. This is really hard to predict.
Now, only the second eldest son, Xu Shian, is not in the system, but he is doing well.
The scale of the breeding farms has been continuously expanded. In addition to the original breeding farms located four kilometers away, breeding farms have been built in Kaifeng, Funan, Baixi, Xilinhe, Shuguang and other places.
There are currently tens of thousands of sika deer and nearly 10,000 forest musk deer.
Musk, deer antler and other products are directly supplied to pharmaceutical and health care product factories, so there is no need to worry about sales.
Xu Shi'an now holds 30% of the shares in the farm, making a lot of money a year.
He bought properties in Songjiang River and in the county, keeping them for Xu Haibo and his brother to find wives in the future.
The Xu Shiyan brothers are doing well now, and the younger ones below seem to be doing well too.
Xu Jinfeng is about to graduate from college, and now she still has a job with a guaranteed job. No matter which bank she works in, her job is good.
Xu Haibo had graduated from the Agricultural University and was arranged by Xu Shiyan to work at the Jixingyuan Health Products Factory in Fusong.
Xu Jinxiu will take the college entrance examination next year. If the development trajectory of his previous life is followed, it should be Lu Wensong who helped get Xu Jinxiu to study at a banking university and assign him a job after graduation.
Xu Haitao is in the same year as Xu Jinxiu, so he should take the college entrance examination next year, but his academic performance is poor, and he basically has no hope of taking the college entrance examination.
There happened to be a draft for the army some time ago, so his family sent him to serve as a soldier.
So during the Chinese New Year this year, this guy is not at home.
Xu Haibin is a child who has been a mischief-maker since he was a child. He is particularly capable of causing trouble and his academic performance is average.
Xu Shixian found someone to help him get connected, and then he was admitted to the county No. 1 Middle School. It is estimated that after completing high school and getting a diploma, he must be a soldier.
Needless to say, Xu Haiyuan doesn't need to rely on anyone. This kid will definitely achieve a lot in the future, not to mention that Su Anying is still waiting for him to take over.
Judging from the current development situation of Ji Shengyuan, there will be no problem at all until Xu Haiyuan graduates from university and takes over.
Xu Haiyang is the same age as Xu Haiyuan and is two months younger than Xu Haiyuan.
He enters school at a normal age, so he is in the same class as Xu Jinping and will take the high school entrance examination next year.
At first, Xu Shide and his wife wanted to send Xu Haiyang here to study with Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping.
Maybe Haiyang is a stubborn kid and just won't do it.
The quality of teaching in Xigang is average, and the child himself is not too hardworking in his studies, so his grades are average. I don’t know what he will do next year.
Anyway, with these uncles here, whether it is high school or technical secondary school, you can study in one of them, and you can always find a way out in the future.
Needless to say, Xu Jinping will go to the provincial capital to attend high school in the next year. She has a small birthday, only fourteen years old.
With Xu Jinping's intelligence, as long as she studies hard in the three years of high school, she should have no problem getting into a good university.
The three girls in the back, Xu Jingyi, Xu Jingwen, and Xu Jinhui, can all learn well. Although they are not as evil as Xu Jinping, they are still outstanding.
As for Xu Haiqing, in the final exam of the first semester of fifth grade, he ranked eighth in his class, which can be considered above average.
This child is really fond of literature and art. He hosts all the school activities. If there are any literary competitions in the county, the school also chooses him to participate.
Even the company's art troupe has taken a liking to this kid, and whenever there is any competition or performance, Xu Haiqing will be arranged for a show.
Under such circumstances, Xu Haiqing could still pass the top ten in the class, and Xu Shiyan and his wife were very satisfied.
The whole family, except Xu Haitao, was busy celebrating the New Year.
The old couple looked at their son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, daughter-in-law, and they were happy and satisfied.
At their age, they don't care about anything else, they just want their children and grandchildren to be prosperous and their families to be reunited.
After a brief reunion, the brothers took their wives and children away, and Xu Shiyan and Su Anying also had their own things to be busy with.
The Spring Festival of 1994 was relatively late, so I felt very busy after the New Year.
Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Su Anying, Xu Haiyuan, Xu Jinping, Yang Haoyu, and Chu Xuanhuai headed for the provincial capital.
Su Anying will graduate in half a year, and Xu Haiyuan is going to the capital for training in April, so he has to practice hard now.
Xu Jinping and Yang Haoyu will enter the intensive class of the High School Affiliated to the Normal University on March 1st to lay the foundation for three years of high school life.
Needless to say, Chu Xuanhuai said that after the New Year, the medical clinic still had to continue.
As soon as Su Anying and others left, the house was mostly empty.
Although Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan didn't say anything in front of Xu Shiyan, they always talked about it in private.
But there is nothing we can do. This is all for the sake of the children's future. We can't keep the children close to us just to take care of the mood of the old couple, right? How can that be done?
Fortunately, there were two children, Xu Jinhui and Xu Haiqing, by their side. The old couple was busy taking care of the two children, and gradually adapted to it.
In April, Xu Haiyuan went to Beijing to participate in a training camp.
The training lasts for about a month, and the players have to go through multiple examinations and selections.
In the end, the students with the best scores were selected to represent the country in international competitions.
The training camp is closed and parents are not required to accompany them.
Su Anying just sent her child to the capital, and after handling some matters at the capital branch, she went back to school.
Xu Shiyan is even busier and can't spare time to go to Beijing to accompany his son.
"This is a document just issued by the province. The tourist route planning for the western slope of Changbai Mountain has been officially approved and established.
I have a suggestion. Our company will donate 30 million to build the gate and related facilities on the west slope of Changbai Mountain."
At the company management meeting, Xu Shiyan introduced it to everyone.
"General Manager, why do we need to donate money to build the scenic spot? Wouldn't it be better for us to cooperate directly with the province to develop the scenic spot?"
Some people wonder what is the operation of donating funds to build scenic spots?
"Because the province has no money." Xu Shiyan sighed.
"The most important thing is that there is currently a consortium in South Korea that is negotiating with our province to donate funds to build the gate and related facilities on the west slope of Changbai Mountain."
In a previous life, the Xipo Mountain Gate was built with donations from South Korea.
Xu Shiyan felt awkward when he heard his daughter reciting the tour guide. We had to donate money to build our own scenic spot.
Xu Shiyan didn't mean to compete with anyone, but he felt that this was a bit embarrassing.
Now, they have the ability to build it themselves, and they can no longer ask Xiaobangzi to donate money to repair it.
