Chapter 1527
The difference between a top student and a struggling one, or a genius and an ordinary person, lies in their choices. Top students have many schools to choose from and struggle to pick the best one. Struggling students have few options and worry about whether they can get in at all. Regardless of the situation, the core issue is the same: the stress of choosing a school.
When Zhu Yanyi came out, Yan Aohan had already eaten half a bowl of porridge. Seeing her, he said, "There is porridge and pickled mustard greens." He then served a bowl of porridge to Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Zhibin watched from the side, shaking his head. "Brother-in-law, you even serve porridge for my sister. I think you are raising her to be useless."
"You are the useless one," Zhu Yanyi glanced at Zhu Zhibin. "My husband and I are inseparable."
"Whatever. Whether it is Second Brother-in-law or Eldest Brother-in-law, they are all henpecked husbands," Zhu Zhibin sighed. "They have no masculine spirit."
"Go away," Zhu Yanyi laughed and scolded him. "You have spirit? Let's see what kind of wife you will find in the future." She then turned to Yan Aohan. "After breakfast, let's go to the hospital."
"Okay," Yan Aohan nodded slightly.
Zhu Yanyi asked Zhu Zhibin, "Doumiao, do you want to go to the hospital with us?"
Zhu Zhibin thought for a moment. "Let's go. Since I am resting, I should accompany Grandpa and Grandma. I am very curious about what kind of willpower supported Grandpa for over forty years."
Zhu Yanyi nodded in agreement. "I am curious too. Remember to tell me when you find out."
"Okay," Zhu Zhibin nodded seriously.
After finishing their meal, Yan Aohan took Zhu Yanyi and Zhu Zhibin to the hospital. Zhu Yanyi led them into her ward area for rounds.
Actually, there were only three patients. Liu Jun and Hui Tianhua were recovering quickly, so Zhu Yanyi focused mainly on Zhu Xinfu.
"Grandpa, how does your leg feel today?" While gradually restoring Zhu Xinfu's internal organ functions, Zhu Yanyi used massage to restore the sensation in his leg meridians.
"It's okay. It feels a bit warm. I don't feel much else," Zhu Xinfu gestured to express her meaning. Although Zhu Yanyi looked relaxed, she had added her special ability to the massage. Otherwise, such results would not be possible.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "This is a good sign. The warmth means the meridians are starting to heat up. Only then can they recover."
Zhu Zhibin watched from the side. "Grandpa, Grandma, don't worry. Although my second sister isn't very powerful, she is quite skilled in medicine."
"What do you mean 'not very powerful'?" Zhu Yanyi finished massaging, pulled up Zhu Xinfu's trouser leg, and went to wash her hands. Hearing this, she slapped Zhu Zhibin.
"Second Sister, please don't hit people randomly. A gentleman uses words; a petty person uses hands," Zhu Zhibin said seriously.
"Haha, a gentleman uses words; a petty person uses hands. I am a woman, so I can use both words and hands." She slapped her again.
Zhu Zhibin looked at Yan Aohan with a grievance. "Second Brother-in-law, why don't you control your wife?"
"In our family, your second sister is the boss," Yan Aohan sat aside, not joining the siblings' banter.
Zhu Xinfu could not see, but he could hear and feel the warm atmosphere. A smile appeared on his face.
Huang Meiying laughed. "Doumiao, treating your sister like this is not good. Be careful, or your father will hold you accountable."
After spending these days together, Huang Meiying naturally saw that her son was a mama's boy. But what did it matter?
Zhu Shunyao had gone to the small villa to get something and was not present.
"Grandma, you finally said something fair. My status in our family is really too low. You don't know, my second sister even tricked me into thinking I was adopted. Luckily, I am smart, or I would have been fooled," Zhu Zhibin said with a smile, acting like a child complaining.
Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan exchanged a smile. Zhu Zhibin knew that his grandparents wanted to get closer to them but felt shy because they had not been together for years. So, Zhu Zhibin's playful approach was very effective.
Huang Meiying was happy to see her grandson like this. "It's okay. Grandma will love you from now on."
Zhu Xinfu listened to the banter and smiled silently.
Taishu Yuanxiang supported Zhu Yanli as they walked in.
"Grandpa, Grandma," Taishu Yuanxiang and Zhu Yanli greeted them.
Huang Meiying saw Zhu Yanli. "Why are you here again? Ani is heavily pregnant. You should rest at home. We two old folks won't run away."
Yan Aohan felt his phone vibrate. He whispered to Zhu Yanyi, "I will go answer a call."
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. Yan Aohan took his phone and went out.
Zhu Yanli said to Huang Meiying, "It's okay. I am doing well now. I should walk around. Walking is good for the baby."
Huang Meiying looked at Zhu Yanli's belly. "We are old. In a blink of an eye, Shunyao will be a grandfather."
Zhu Xinfu reached out and held Huang Meiying's hand, squeezing it gently, as if expressing something. Huang Meiying said, "Old man, I am fine. I am just feeling sentimental. Time is indeed ruthless."
Yan Aohan came back and said to Zhu Xinfu and Huang Meiying, "Grandpa, Grandma, the Chinese military has investigated Grandpa's contributions in the war. They proved that Grandpa is a rare warrior. They regret that Grandpa suffered this disaster. Therefore, the higher-ups decided that Grandpa can enjoy vice-ministerial treatment. After Grandpa is discharged, he will receive a house, a guard, and a health doctor. Although this treatment is not high, it is a compensation from China for Grandpa's suffering."
Zhu Xinfu was slightly stunned and began to gesture quickly. "Why compensate me? This is not the country's fault."
"This is an affirmation of your past contributions," Yan Aohan said seriously. "Of course, I know Grandpa's doubt. There are many people with similar merits to Grandpa. Many of them just retire at home and do not have Grandpa's opportunity. So Grandpa feels embarrassed, right?"
Zhu Xinfu nodded slightly. The treatment he received was vice-ministerial. If it were section or division level, he would not have reacted so strongly. Ministerial level positions were rare.
