Chapter 1599: Chapter 1599: Two Tasks 1
Feng Qingxue didn’t know her eldest son had arrived; she had finished her surgery by two-thirty in the afternoon.
This surgery was the second one she perford today, but it was Dr. Hong’s first surgery. Having done two surgeries in a row, she was now utterly exhausted and just wanted to rest well.
During the ti Feng Qingxue washed her hands and dealt with post-surgery matters, Luo Xiuxiu ward up the food and brought it over.
“Auntie, it’s ti to eat.”
The hungry Feng Qingxue didn’t refuse and picked up the lunchbox to eat.
“Auntie, do you often work this hard?”
“Not always, it depends on whether there are patients seeking treatnt.” Hearing Luo Xiuxiu’s words, Feng Qingxue smiled, “I’d rather have dust gather on the shelves of dicine than wish people in the world remain healthy. This is a couplet found in many pharmacies. I also hope I can leisurely write and draw in the office every day and continue learning rather than perform surgeries and treat patients, but unfortunately, that can’t be wished for.”
Luo Xiuxiu rested her chin on her palm, “I’d rather have dust gather on the shelves of dicine than wish people in the world remain healthy. Auntie, this saying is really nice. I want to be a doctor too. Do you think it’s still possible for to study dicine?”
“You want to study dicine?” Feng Qingxue raised her head.
“Yes!” Luo Xiuxiu nodded quickly.
Feng Qingxue smiled with pursed lips, “I started getting into dicine at eighteen, and you’re sixteen this year. It’s certainly not too late to study. You’ll be going to high school next year, right? Study well and strive to get into dical university.”
“I want to learn from Auntie.” Luo Xiuxiu’s attitude was very serious, “Besides, I still don’t know what things will be like after graduating from high school!”
By then, she’ll face three paths: working in the city, which would be easy to accomplish with the Luo Family’s identity and status, as a high school education is sufficient to find a good job. However, Grandpa has always disliked family mbers working through connections, and she didn’t want people gossiping, so the second path is going to the countryside, and the third is joining the military.
Most children of senior officials choose the first and third paths. Not just those children, but even those with a bit of status plan this way for their children. Few go to the countryside; if they do, it’s mostly because their elders have lost power.
Feng Qingxue chewed consecutively over thirty bites and finally finished the food in her mouth, raising her brows, “Learn from ?”
Luo Xiuxiu’s eyes sparkled, “I think Auntie is amazing! I have seen Dr. Guo, he prescribed a regin for my grandpa for his health. The elderly man told my grandpa that the thing he is most proud of in his life is having taken in a few good apprentices, each with a gift for dicine and particularly hardworking. Talent matched with hard work is bound to yield remarkable achievents.”
Feng Qingxue thought Luo Xiuxiu was being impulsive and couldn’t help but laugh, “Studying dicine requires persistence; it’s not achieved overnight, be it traditional Chinese dicine or Western dicine. And you need to have your own interest and talent; all three are indispensable.”
Initially, she studied dicine with a goal to learn dicine, but later she beca interested. Through ten years of effort, she reached where she is today.
Luo Xiuxiu was just about to say sothing when she suddenly saw the half-open door being pushed open, and two heads peeked in, one on top of the other. The one on top wore a Lei Feng hat, and the one below wore a sable hat—it was Lu Erxiong.
“Xibao? When did you get here?” Feng Qingxue had keen ears and naturally glanced over.
Seeing her eldest son, Feng Qingxue was imdiately filled with joy.
Xibao gleefully squeezed in, being very nimble, with Lu Erxiong following close behind.
