Chapter 216: An Hui Leaves
Chapter 216: An Hui Leaves
We've arrived at the station.
When they arrived, Uncle Chen and the others were also being driven to the train station.
Yuan Xiu noticed that Comrade Chen Yumei was unusually quiet this time.
It was unusually quiet.
It was as if they were avoiding talking to them.
Unfortunately, she didn't want to speak, but An Hui insisted that she do so.
"Have you checked Xiaomei's exam results yet? Did she pass the undergraduate admission score for our local universities?"
Chen Yumei's face stiffened, and she couldn't even maintain a basic smile.
"return……"
She was about to say that she hadn't come out yet when she heard her father say, "She's out. Xiao Zhou called yesterday; she didn't pass the exam."
"I see—"
An Hui smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, you can try again next year. Xiao Mei, don't be discouraged. It's not your fault that you didn't pass. It's just that the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination and the exam time were too close together. You can try again next year. Study hard next year, and you will definitely pass."
Chen Yumei avoided looking at Yuan Xiu and Jiang Zhou, afraid of seeing the sarcastic expressions on their faces, and put on an indifferent attitude.
"It wasn't a big deal to begin with, and I don't plan to take the exam anymore. I have a job, and it's a good company. For most people, going to university is about getting a good job, but I don't need that. Some university graduates might not even get into our company, so going to university is optional for me."
"Is that how it's said?!" Uncle Chen's tone was filled with anger!
"The country selects talent through the college entrance examination to cultivate the professionals the country needs, for the future of the nation! The purpose of going to university should be to acquire knowledge and skills to build the motherland! With this kind of thinking, it's no wonder you can't pass the exam! Even if you do, it's a waste of your spot!"
"dad!"
Chen Yumei's face turned bright red. How could anyone talk about their daughter like that in front of outsiders?
She glanced at Yuan Xiu and Jiang Zhou, and saw that the two of them were only focused on playing with the child and didn't even look at her. At one moment, she felt bad for losing face, and at the other moment, she felt bad for being ignored by Jiang Zhou and Yuan Xiu.
Finally, she stamped her foot, turned around, and boarded the train first.
"I'm sorry to have made you all laugh at me," Uncle Chen sighed and said to Yuan Xiu of Jiangzhou.
The couple shook their heads. Even if they made a fool of themselves, no one would want to see it if they were strangers.
This, on the contrary, made Uncle Chen feel that Yuan Xiu was broad-minded and generous.
It was almost time to leave, so An Hui had to go.
She first said to Aunt Zhao, "I'm handing them over to you."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of them." Aunt Zhao held her hand. "You need to take care of yourself too."
An Hui nodded, then looked at Yuan Xiu and Jiang Zhou.
Finally, let's turn our attention to the two little ones.
Grandma is gone.
The two little ones stared at her with wide, innocent eyes.
As she turned to walk towards the car, the little ones pouted and burst into tears!
"Wow wow wow!"
"Awoooooo..."
An Hui held onto the handrail by the car door and turned her head. Her eyes were red. She wanted to back away, but in the end, she made up her mind, turned her face away, and got into the car.
"Wow wow wow!" Zhizhi pointed at the train, glancing at her mother again and again, wanting to get on.
Qiaoqiao was squirming in his father's arms, stretching out both of his little hands, and crying loudly!
"Stop it, you little rascal!"
Jiang Zhou hugged his son tightly, not knowing where he got the energy from, but he was sweating from all the exertion.
The two little ones were still crying until the train started moving.
Qiaoqiao opened her little mouth, clenched her little hands in front of her chest, tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and cried.
Zhizhi buried her little head in her mother's arms, sobbing and ignoring everyone who called her.
The two little ones were sweating and crying.
Fearing they might catch a cold, I quickly got back into the car.
Aunt Zhao took out two dry towels from her bag, and she and Yuan Xiu each took one and placed them on their backs to absorb sweat.
"It will probably take the two little ones several days to get used to it."
Aunt Zhao was right. In the following days, the two little ones would always turn their little heads around the house looking for their grandma.
If they don't see them on the first floor, they'll pat Aunt Zhao's hand and point upstairs. You can't refuse to take them upstairs; they'll cry if you don't.
If it's not upstairs, you'll have to search every part of the house.
It took me several days of searching and several days of crying before I finally succeeded in quitting.
……
"Yuan Xiu, there is a registered letter for you."
Two weeks before the New Year, Yuan Xiu received her college admission notice.
She was one of the first people among those who passed the hospital's entrance exam to receive a university admission letter.
Besides her, there was also a colleague from the Western medicine surgery department.
The acceptance letters were delivered to them personally by the postman via registered mail.
"Quick, open it and take a look!" Hao Jia was even more excited than Yuan Xiu herself.
Upon learning that someone had received an acceptance letter, many hospital staff and patients gathered around.
"How come it arrived so quickly? Wasn't it supposed to be after the New Year?" someone asked.
"You didn't know that? It means they did well on the exam! They were admitted in the first batch, so naturally they'll receive their acceptance letters earlier than those in the regular batches!"
"So that's how it is..."
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Yuan Xiu and her colleagues from the Department of Western Medicine opened their admission notices.
"Medical school! What a great school! Our city's medical school is one of the best in the country."
Yuan Xiu and her colleagues from the Western medicine department all received admission notices from the medical school. Yuan Xiu was admitted to the major of traditional Chinese medicine, which is also the most core discipline in traditional Chinese medicine.
From the moment she received her acceptance letter, Yuan Xiu spent the entire day surrounded by congratulations.
I met with the hospital leaders and was praised and encouraged.
She was even asked by the publicity department to take a picture with her admission notice. Of course, she wasn't the only one. According to the publicity department, all colleagues who receive admission notices will have to go through this process in the future. It's for publicity and archiving, as it's an honor for their hospital.
People from all departments flowed through the pharmacy like a river, and those who failed the exam even came to Yuan Xiu for advice, asking her how she studied.
Everyone knows that Yuan Xiu only has a junior high school education. The reason why people in the Western medicine department can be admitted to medical school is because they are graduates of regular vocational nursing schools and have good grades. Yuan Xiu is different. For her, it would be good enough to get into a vocational school. Unexpectedly, she was admitted to medical school and was even among the first batch of college students admitted!
