Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 527 - 413: Visitors from Home – Excellent Little Follower Ning Zhiqian
Three days later.
PM.
Zhao Heng drove the Hongqi H9 from the hospital to the food street.
I must say, this car has a great driving experience, and the interior is quite comfortable. Among domestic cars, it is indeed a sincere creation.
After parking, Zhao Heng entered Bench Noodles, the shop run by Zhao Dad.
As soon as he reached the entrance, Zhao Juan, who was busy inside the shop, was delighted to see Zhao Heng coming and said, "Xiao Heng, you’re here."
"Mm, how’s business these past two days?"
Zhao Heng nodded and asked.
"Business is good, even a bit too busy to handle."
Zhao Juan is very content with her current life. Although the work at the noodle shop isn’t easy, this sense of stability fills Zhao Juan with hope for the future.
Moreover, her husband works in Eastern Hospital as a caregiver, doing quite well. His income is much more than working elsewhere.
This makes Zhao Juan even more grateful to her cousin Zhao Heng.
"Where are my parents?"
Seeing that only Zhao Juan was in the shop, Zhao Heng asked with some confusion.
Logically, at this time, it should be meal time, the busiest time of the day.
"Someone from our hometown is visiting, Uncle and Aunt went to the high-speed rail station to pick them up."
Zhao Juan said.
"Someone from the hometown? A family member?"
Zhao Heng casually asked.
Nowadays, his dad and mom are not the same as before. One could say that after staying in North City for this period, the couple’s horizons have broadened, and their views are more open than before.
"No, just someone from the village, said that they got accepted to Yanjing University to study."
Zhao Juan said.
"Someone from our village can get into Yanjing University?"
Zhao Heng was shocked. Previously, he was the most promising student in the village’s history, having attended a key medical university. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
And now, without any fanfare, someone told him that a person got into Yanjing University?
"Not from our village, from the neighboring village."
Zhao Juan added.
If it were really from their village, with such good academic performance, they would have known it earlier.
In the village, everyone compares things like their children’s academic achievements and who built a new house.
"That’s very impressive all the same."
Zhao Heng marveled. Because he himself came from the hometown, he knows how challenging it is to get into Yanjing University from there.
Basically, you have to be in the top twenty in the entire province to have a chance at getting into Yanjing University.
Unlike the natives of North City who take the college entrance exam and get into universities like Yanjing University and Shuimu University without appearing to exert much effort.
The education resources are different from childhood, so the difficulty of getting into a key university is naturally different.
"Did they mention what major they’re studying?"
Zhao Heng asked again.
"Seems like they’re studying medicine, just like you, Xiao Heng."
Zhao Juan replied.
"Hah? Medicine? And able to get into Yanjing University for medicine? That’s quite bold!"
Zhao Heng was dumbfounded and surprised. The medical industry has become so competitive now that even if you get into the medical department of Yanjing University, to make any achievement in this field, you must be prepared to pursue a doctorate.
From undergraduate to doctoral, medical undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral studies take: medical undergraduate: 5 years; master’s: 3 years, minimum 1.5 years, maximum 4 years; doctoral: full-time 3-6 years, part-time 4-6 years; adding up, the longest time is 5+4+6=15 years; the shortest is 5+1.5+3=9.5 years.
That means, if you start university at eighteen, you’ll be at least twenty-eight when you finish your doctorate.
This calculation assumes the youngest start and the shortest completion time.
The time and effort spent in the meantime, not to mention.
"What’s the matter, Xiao Heng? Didn’t you also study medicine? Look at you now, you’ve become a chief director."
Zhao Juan didn’t understand these things and couldn’t comprehend Zhao Heng’s astonished expression.
"My situation is different."
Zhao Heng waved his hand and said.
I had a cheat, without it, who knows how poorly I might be doing now!
Zhao Heng thought to himself, knowing this well about himself.
"Since someone is visiting from the hometown, let’s close the shop for today. You can’t handle it all by yourself anyway."
Zhao Heng thought for a moment and said.
A person who got into Yanjing University, he’d like to meet them, after all, he himself couldn’t get into Yanjing University back in the day.
As Zhao Heng said this, Zhao Juan naturally agreed, tidied up the shop, and twenty minutes later, they returned to the apartment previously allocated by Zhao Heng’s hospital.
Upon entering, Zhao Heng saw a family of three sitting on the sofa, and between the parents was a rather delicate-looking young man, wearing glasses, who had a scholarly air and looked quite familiar to Zhao Heng.
"Zhiquan?"
Zhao Heng looked at the delicate young man and tentatively said.
"Brother Heng."
The delicate young man Ning Zhiquan adjusted his glasses and smiled gently.
"Why didn’t you let me know beforehand that you were coming?"
Zhao Heng was a bit surprised and delighted. This Ning Zhiquan is five years younger and, although from the neighboring village, had been following Zhao Heng since childhood. However, after Zhao Heng went to university, they had less contact.
Zhao Heng didn’t expect Ning Zhiquan to get into Yanjing University, studying medicine no less, as in Zhao Heng’s memory, Ning Zhiquan was still that timid little boy who followed him around.
Seeing Zhao Heng and Ning Zhiquan getting along well, Zhao’s mom said to Ning’s mom, "See, Zhiquan’s mom, I told you the two kids know each other, right?"
Zhao’s mom paid great attention to Zhao Heng in various aspects, including his hobbies, childhood friends, and eating habits. She knew them all by heart.
