It's Wednesday again, and An Kemeng, who was on summer vacation, came to Xiangtai Apartment in the morning.
"Brother Jie, Sister Xiaoxiao, Miaomiao and I have finally decided on the destination for our trip." An Kemeng teased, chattering, "Guess where it is, each of you can have two chances, and there will be a big prize for the correct guess."
Lin Jie, who was browsing the latest medical research papers on the computer, didn't pay her any attention.
However, Zhang Xiaoxiao cooperated with An Kemeng to play the guessing game, but unfortunately, she didn't guess right in both attempts.
"The Bamboo Sea in Chuansi Province!"
An Kemeng said proudly, "It's a scenic area that combines mountain climbing, water activities, caves, lakes, and waterfalls, with the largest and most primitive green bamboo park."
"The website says that its vegetation coverage rate is 87%, making it a natural oxygen bar with a high content of negative ions, especially suitable for us city dwellers to clear our lungs and detoxify."
After reciting this introduction, she started counting on her fingers, "Getting there is very convenient, there's even a direct flight from Binhai. After the flight, you take a car for about three hours and you're there."
"We can stay in the National Village and experience the most primitive ethnic customs."
An Kemeng happily said, "Most importantly, there aren't many people going there to play yet, so we can leisurely enjoy the natural scenery."
"Brother Jie, what do you think?"
Lin Jie replied perfunctorily, "Great, absolutely great. Since this is what you and Miaomiao carefully selected, it must be the most suitable. Now that the destination is set, leave the rest to your sister and me."
"You and Miaomiao just prepare for your outing, and wait for the notification."
An Kemeng nodded excitedly and turned to Zhang Xiaoxiao, "I specially came over to help prepare for the dinner party tonight."
"I'm really good at frying eggs, Brother Jie has eaten them and said I did a great job."
Zhang Xiaoxiao glanced at Lin Jie, seeing his helpless expression, she smiled and said, "Alright, tonight you'll have a chance to show off, and fry the egg that you're best at for us."
Lin Jie remembered something and asked, "Kemeng, aren't you supposed to be in tutoring classes this summer? Next year is your college entrance exam."
An Kemeng raised her head proudly and said, "If I keep my current grades, getting into Binhai University Medical School is a piece of cake..."
Then she chuckled and confidently said, "Even if my college entrance exam scores aren't great, with my uncle in college and Brother Jie, you wouldn't let me not be admitted, right?"
"I know that the son of that Boss Ye scored over a hundred points less than Binhai University's cut-off mark, yet his father found a way to get him in."
Lin Jie remembered this too, that getting Ye Hongqing's son into Binhai University was part of the conditions when he invested in Anlin Hospital.
How times change.
Nowadays, even with cash and purchasing Anlin Hospital's shares at twice the price, no one would sell.
With some sighs, Lin Jie laughed and said, "Entering university through connections and getting in by yourself feel very different. Kemeng, are you really deciding to choose medicine as your major? It's a tough one."
"I'm not afraid of hardship!"
"Brother Jie, I want to be a doctor, I really want to be a doctor!"
An Kemeng suddenly said sadly, "If only you were born a few years earlier, Brother Jie, maybe mom wouldn't have left us so soon."
Lin Jie stroked her head, trying to change the subject, "Since you've made up your mind, you can start practicing some basics now."
"I heard from Kexin that you practiced piano for a few years?"
An Kemeng nodded, somewhat sadly saying, "I started when I was six, but after mom left, I haven't played again. I probably can't even play a song now."
"Since you've practiced piano for a few years, your fingers must still be flexible."
Seeing her mood dip a little, Lin Jie continued, "Come, I'll teach you a set of exercises to train the flexibility of your fingers and wrists, I'll demonstrate first."
Seeing the hands of the Lin Family fluttering like butterflies among flowers, dazzling and beautiful, An Kemeng's mood immediately improved, and she shouted, "Brother Jie, teach me, hurry up and teach me."
Lin Jie, deliberately showing off, immediately slowed down his movements, explaining as he went, "After positioning the thumbs like this, the right index finger..."
One teaching seriously, the other learning intently, time flowed by unnoticed until their lesson was interrupted by a call from Kong Mingqing.
"Lin Jie, based on the age and appearance characteristics of Huang Youjie you provided, along with surveillance video screenshots, we finally tracked him down today."
"However, his real name isn't Huang Youjie, it's You Huangjie."
After that night, when Huang Youjie left, Lin Jie felt something was off, so he asked Kong Mingqing to look into it during his spare time, just for peace of mind.
"Huang Youjie... You Huangjie..."
Muttering the names twice, Lin Jie realized that he had swapped the order of the first two characters.
This intensified Lin Jie's worries, he urgently asked, "Did you see him in person? Did you discover any real difficulties he's facing?"
"We didn't find him in person."
Kong Mingqing further explained, "After finding his exact address through computer records, I had a community officer from his neighborhood check on him."
"Just now the community officer reported that this You Huangjie sold his house the day before yesterday and moved back to his hometown."
"This You Huangjie has no children and his wife, who wasn't very healthy, passed away last month from a sudden heart attack. Lin Jie, why were you looking for him?"
With no children and a deceased wife, Lin Jie practically confirmed his judgment.
He sighed and said, "A few nights ago, this Huang Youjie, should be You Huangjie, came specifically to consult me about organ donation."
"I was worried he might do something foolish, which is why I asked you to check."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, then a long sigh from Kong Mingqing, "I'll report his situation to the police in all districts, asking them to keep an eye out."
"Lin Jie, there are many things we're powerless to change."
After Lin Jie hung up the phone, An Kemeng carefully said, "Brother Jie, how do you think I've learned this set of exercises?"
Saying this, she went through the motions again.
Lin Jie managed a smile, "Very good, I'd say you've memorized it accurately. Kemeng, you must persist, practice every day, these exercises are essential throughout a doctor's career."
"Once you're proficient, I'll teach you the exercises for handling different surgical instruments."
"Meanwhile, you should also keep up with physical training, especially endurance training!"
"Performing surgery, in some sense, is also a physically demanding task!"
Just then, Lin Jie's phone rang again, this time it was a call from Dean Cheng Xingguang.
Lin Jie felt a chill in his heart, could it be about You Huangjie?
As soon as he answered the call, Cheng Xingguang's hearty laughter came through, "Expert Lin, someone sent you a banner."
Feeling relieved and curious, Lin Jie asked, "Dean, who sent me a banner and for what reason?"
"A couple with the surname Shan. They said that just by observing their pet dog's unusual behavior, you diagnosed that the wife had a medical issue and specifically went to remind them."
"Sure enough, their examination confirmed early-stage breast cancer cells in the wife."
"Because it was discovered so early, the chances of controlling and curing it are very high, so they specifically sent a banner to thank you!"
Shen Lanruo's suspicion was confirmed, Lin Jie didn't know whether to feel happy or disappointed.
He asked in a mild tone, "Dean, what does the banner say?"
"Bian Que reincarnated, Hua Tuo reborn!"
Lin Jie chuckled and said, "This couple gave such a generic banner, didn't they put any thought into it? I'm a doctor practicing modern medicine, not traditional Chinese medicine."
Cheng Xingguang laughed again and said, "You know, Hua Tuo invented a primitive form of anesthesia and there's a legend of him performing surgery, it's not too far-fetched to call him the progenitor of modern surgery..."
