Chapter 2342
"Why?" Shi Nengjun asked.
"You and I have no fate to be master and disciple." Zhu Yanyi didn't even look at Shi Nengjun. She was busy cooking, having no time to care about her thoughts.
Shi Nengjun felt disappointed. "Master, you can't be so cruel. I came to your home, how can you say we have no fate?"
Zhu Yanyi glanced at her, thought for a moment, walked aside, and handed her a book. "If you can memorize this entire book within one hour, I will accept you as my disciple."
Shi Nengjun took the book. It was very thin, only four or five pages, but the content was extremely awkward and hard to read.
But Shi Nengjun was stubborn. "I don't believe I can't memorize this. Wait and see, I'll go memorize it now." He went off to study.
Zhu Yanyi didn't care. Two-thirds of the book contained rare characters, and the sentences were very twisted. Even if she gave her a month, she couldn't memorize it.
Not everyone had Zhu Yanyi's talent for photographic memory. This innate ability was not something anyone could just have.
Zhu Yanyi ignored Shi Nengjun and happily continued cooking. She hadn't cooked in a long time. This time, she wanted to make a table full of dishes that Yan Aohan liked.
Yes, all the dishes Zhu Yanyi made were for Yan Aohan. For others, she just made simple food.
Of course, Tianyun and Guiyun were coming today, so she also wanted to make some good food for her cousin and cousin.
One of the other guests wanted crab, so she had already made an emperor crab. The other could only drink plain porridge, so she didn't need to worry about that.
By the time Zhu Yanyi finished cooking, it was nearly 11:30. She checked the time, thought it was about right, and went to deliver some plain porridge to Zhang Xiaofeng. Shi Nengjun acted as the caregiver.
When Shi Nengjun came out with an empty bowl, Yan Aohan's car drove in.
"Sister Ani." Tianyun and Guiyun entered, very happy to see Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi was also happy to see them. "Tianyun and Guiyun are here. Come in quickly, we are about to have lunch."
Tianyun and Guiyun entered. Zhu Yanyi went to bring out the dishes. Yan Aohan entered and said, "Let me do this."
"It's not a big deal." Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Did you pick them up early today?"
Yan Aohan nodded. "Yes, I picked them up early. Fortunately, their activity was nearing its end when I arrived."
Zhu Yanyi said, "Didn't they say that because of an incident during a slightly distant spring outing last year, they wouldn't allow trips too far? Why did your school organize a trip to Yong City? I thought you would just tour around Yao City."
Zhu Yanyi asked Xie Tianyun curiously. She poured them juice and said to Shi Nengjun, "Shi Nengjun, you can eat now."
Shi Nengjun sat down without hesitation.
Tianyun looked at Shi Nengjun and said, "It's because we have the high school entrance exam coming up, so they wanted to help us relax." This year, both Xie Tianyun and Xie Guiyun would take the exam.
"It's your third year of middle school, and they still let you travel and promise you a holiday. I think your school is really doing whatever it wants," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.
Tianyun nodded. "Sister Ani, do you think I should aim for Yao City No. 1 High School or Yong City No. 1 High School?"
"High schools are mostly similar. But if you can get into Yong City No. 1, the education quality is better. However, Yao City No. 1 is also a key school. Basically, eighty percent of students can get into university. It's just a matter of whether it's a first-tier, second-tier, or lower-tier university."
Zhu Yanyi knew that Yao City No. 1 had good teaching quality. But Xie Tianyun had always had her own ideas, so Zhu Yanyi felt it was better to let her choose.
Xie Guiyun said from the side, "I plan to take the exam for No. 5 High School."
Most students at No. 5 High School were art students. Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly. "Guiyun, what university do you plan to attend in the future?"
Xie Guiyun said, "I plan to attend the Beijing Academy of Drama. Sister Jingyun and I made an agreement. I will go find her then."
As expected of the Xie family, they had a certain affinity for dramatic arts.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Actually, any high school in Yao City can prepare for art school exams. No. 5 High School's teaching quality makes it difficult to get into a regular undergraduate university, so they specialize in art students. I think Guiyun, you should try to aim for No. 1 High School. Even if you go to No. 1, you can still be an art student. And after graduating from No. 1, your college entrance exam score will naturally be higher."
Xie Guiyun listened to Zhu Yanyi's words, pondered for a moment, and said, "Sister Ani, isn't it said that No. 5 High School has a higher chance for art students?"
"It's not a high school directly linked to key art academies. I told you about No. 5 High School's situation. In fact, few students can get into key universities. You know, every school admits students based on grades. The best students go to Yao City No. 1 High School. Better students in Yao City can go to No. 2 High School. Students from surrounding areas can only go to local high schools. These local high schools naturally use various advertisements to attract students. I admire the principal of No. 5 High School. No. 5 High School was originally just filling quotas. Less than ten percent of their graduates could go to university. This ratio is very low, so they decided to focus on art students."
Zhu Yanyi looked at Xie Guiyun. "Art students focus on their specialties, with liberal arts grades as a supplement. In fact, all high schools can have specialty art students."
"Oh, I see." Xie Guiyun was still young. If Zhu Yanyi hadn't explained it clearly, she wouldn't have known.
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "So, Guiyun, your grades are not bad. If you choose a better school, becoming a specialty art student is really not a problem."
Xie Guiyun nodded. "Then I'll try. Actually, my grades are not as good as my brother's."
Xie Tianyun said, "But you are not bad either. Right now in middle school, your grades are in the top twenty of the school. So there is hope for a good high school."
Xie Guiyun's face turned slightly red with shame. "Then I'll take the exam for No. 1 High School. I'll list No. 5 High School as my second choice."
"Good." Zhu Yanyi nodded. Then she asked, "How many days of holiday did they give you this time?"
"Three days. They said it's a holiday, but actually it's to let us relax. After three days, we go back for the first mock exam. So we can't really relax. We still need to review at home," Tianyun answered.
"In that case, you can't really relax these three days," Zhu Yanyi said.
"Yes, we brought a lot of test papers. We have to do many papers," Guiyun sighed. "Being a student is bad in this way. There are test papers everywhere. As soon as I see them, I have to do them." Then she looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Sister Ani, I heard from Grandpa that you skipped grades before, right?"
"Yes." Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "But because of special reasons, I went to Beijing for high school. However, I still took the high school entrance exam."
"Top scorer in the entrance exam," Xie Tianyun said. "Now, any school in Yao City mentions the history of Xuehai, and they will mention you. Because your score back then was too high, no one has surpassed it yet."
Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi didn't think much, just sighed. "Hearing you say that, I feel like I've aged a lot. I've already become a historical figure."
Yan Aohan said from the side, "Don't listen to their nonsense. In my heart, you are always young and beautiful."
"Brother-in-law, showing off your love like this is not good. You should pay attention to our love education," Tianyun said with a grin.
"Are you sure you want me to give you love education?" Yan Aohan looked at them strangely.
Seeing Yan Aohan like this, Xie Tianyun shook his head quickly. "No need, no need. I was just saying it, nothing else."
Yan Aohan didn't care about this. Seeing that Xie Tianyun wasn't sticking to the issue, he filed it away without dwelling.
After eating, Zhu Yanyi sent the siblings to the guest room upstairs to rest. They studied separately, of course, they could come to Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan if they had questions they didn't understand.
Zhu Yanyi went to check on Zhang Xiaofeng's condition, then continued her daily leisurely life.
"Master Yan, Madam, the house next door has been bought." Luo Gang and Li Yang appeared the day after sending off Xie Tianyun and Xie Guiyun.
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "Ask your Master Yan about the decoration. I have no experience."
"I heard that the layout of the Four Towns decoration was done by you, Madam. How can you have no experience?" Luo Gang asked curiously.
"This is called selective amnesia," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "Besides, your Master Yan is really better at this than me, so it's better for him to handle it." Zhu Yanyi was telling the truth. Relatively speaking, Yan Aohan's ability was indeed much stronger than hers.
Hearing Zhu Yanyi's words, Luo Gang and Li Yang didn't force her. Instead, they went to find Yan Aohan to solve it. Fortunately, Yan Aohan had anticipated this. As soon as they spoke, he gave them the blueprints. From then on, they just needed to decorate and modify according to the blueprints.
Zhu Yanyi really let go and didn't manage this.
About half a month later, Zhang Xiaofeng could walk with crutches.
Zhu Yanyi was preparing to leave. Before leaving, she took out two prescriptions for Zhang Xiaofeng. "The prescription on the blue paper is for foot soaking. Although these legs are artificial, they have merged with your body. In the future, they can be considered your real legs. But they are not fully connected yet, so you need to use the medicinal properties to increase blood circulation, which will help them recover faster.
The prescription on the yellow paper is for internal use. One dose per day, boiled twice. You can take it before or after meals, but the interval between each dose must not be less than six hours. The internal use period is six months. The foot soaking one is at least one year. After one year, if you still want to continue soaking, you can. If not, just throw it away."
Zhu Yanyi paused. "There is basically nothing else. Now the main thing is that you need to start learning to walk. But for the next period, you will need crutches for assistance. After about three months, you can slowly let go of the crutches. Also, at the beginning of rehabilitation, do not exceed one hour a day. After one month, you can add three hours. Then, you can increase by two hours each month, until you can walk completely. These are the main points I want to say. Did you remember?"
"I remembered." Zhang Xiaofeng nodded with a smile. "Divine Doctor Captain, thank you. I really want to thank you this time."
"You're welcome." Zhu Yanyi shook her head. "I am a doctor. This is all I can do. After sending you off, we will also leave Yong City. I don't know when we will return. The mountains are high and the waters are long. Take care of yourselves."
Zhang Xiaofeng nodded and called out to Shi Nengjun. "Then we take our leave."
Shi Nengjun said, "Master, you must be my master."
"The book I gave you, I asked you to memorize it in one hour. But you haven't memorized it until today. You still want to be my disciple? You and I have no fate to be master and disciple in this life," Zhu Yanyi refused directly.
This Shi Nengjun was mainly a bit lazy. If he wasn't lazy, he would have almost memorized that book in these half a month, after all, it was only five or six pages. Unfortunately, he lacked diligence.
Zhu Yanyi saw off Zhang Xiaofeng and Shi Nengjun, then started packing with Yan Aohan, preparing to return to Four Towns.
"I heard that the free elderly entertainment center has started construction?" After getting on the bus, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan sat together in the tour bus, while Luo Gang drove the medical vehicle alone.
"Yes. When I talked to your brother-in-law on the phone yesterday, he said it was already under construction. They are laying the foundation now. Your brother-in-law is capable. He plans to build a parking lot underground, so laying the foundation will take a while. But once the foundation is laid, the time to build the house will not be long," Yan Aohan didn't hide anything and told Zhu Yanyi directly.
Hearing this news, Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly. "It seems that your brother-in-law probably can't go with me to Hangzhou to be a traveling doctor."
Yan Aohan nodded. "I have thought about it. On the way, after Hangzhou is Tongjiang City, then Wan City, and finally Shanghai. There are quite a few cities on the way. We can let them meet us in Shanghai."
Yan Aohan thought this house was the most appropriate.
Zhu Yanyi didn't object. After all, the free elderly entertainment venue was very important now. "That works. Actually, if it wasn't for Little Northwest, I don't think they need to follow us and live in the wind and rain. I agreed before because I didn't plan to live in the wind and rain as a traveling doctor."
