Xu Ning did not return to China this Spring Festival. First of all, the school day here is January 20, and this year's domestic Spring Festival is February 11.

Before, she planned to return to China to stay with her parents for a period of time, but several days of snowfall here also delayed her time, so Xu Ning called her mother and would not go home during the Spring Festival. She would go back to live for a few months after the next summer vacation.

Although Qin Xuejuan missed her daughter, she couldn't help but tell her to keep warm here, and don't get sick, etc.

The school does not provide accommodation during the holidays. Of course you can pay some money. The school will find a host family for you. Many students studying abroad will adopt this type of boarding when they do not return home during the holidays.

On the one hand, you can meet more people, and on the other hand, you can be more familiar with the family situation here, and prepare for future work and immigration here.

Xu Ning does not need to worry. When Ash and Donna learn that she will not go home during the holiday, the two directly pack Xu Ning's things and take them away with Xu Ning. They say that the family lives next door. Who is Xu Ning? You can live at home without spending money.

She doesn't have much free time during the winter vacation, and she still needs to go to the hospital where Professor Anno is to be a volunteer. Ashe is helping her family's farm during the vacation, and Donna is going to work in her father's law firm.

This morning, the weather outside was sleet, the temperature was very low, and the wind was freezing.

Xu Ning walked downstairs in a knitted jacket. The living room was already filled with a faint fragrance, the smell of hot milk and butter bread. This was breakfast at Donna's house.

"Ning, good morning." Donna's mother heard the footsteps and looked back at Xu Ning, "Do you want to go to the hospital today?"

"Yes, Mrs. Richard." Xu Ning came over to help each other prepare breakfast.

Although I don't like Western eating habits, but people let you live here for free, if you are still picky, it would be too much.

In fact, she is not picky, nor does it mean that she can't eat Western food, but she prefers the food of her own country.

"The day after tomorrow is Christmas, when do you plan to take a break?" Now all three of Richard's family are idle at home, and only Xu Ning is still going to volunteer. The hospital is open all year round.

"Today is the last day, and then rest three days to continue working."

"Thanks for your hard work."

After breakfast, Xu Ning took the bus and went out. The bus here is very convenient, at least one bus at the door of the house every hour, and there is no need to reverse the car on the way. It takes more than 20 minutes to take the subway. Xu Ning I still like this way of traveling.

The hospital is very busy every day, and this hospital is also the best in Cambridge.

Xu Ning’s usual job is similar to that of a nurse, but it does not include injections to patients. There are many things large and small. She is always busy from morning to night, and she is diligent in her hands and feet. The children are distressed by injections, and the elderly are in a lonely mood. She will always go back and forth in the hospital.

"Mrs. Lawrence, good morning, your complexion is very beautiful today?" Xu Ning came in and saw the old lady in this ward reading the newspaper, with less than one-third of the drip left on her hand.

"Oh, Ning, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Seeing Xu Ning, Mrs. Lawrence showed a kind smile on her wrinkled face, "It's almost Christmas, and you have to come over. What a hardworking girl. "

"School is off, I am boarding at a classmate's house. I have nothing else to do when I stay at home every day. Why don't I come here to do something within my power." Stepped up to the old man and checked the back of her hand. On the infusion needle, "You can't move around, I'll read it to you what you want to see."

"Well, let’s talk about this rugby game. I watch my grandson’s rugby game every year, and I’ve been in love with this sport for a long time."

"Can!"

Xu Ning poured a cup of hot water for the old man and put it aside, picked up the newspaper and read it slowly.

Her voice is soft and warm, and her pronunciation is extremely standard. Mrs. Lawrence likes Xu Ning very much. After she was hospitalized last month, because her children were busy with work, her grandson was also caught up in Washington for Christmas by her grandmother some time ago. She stayed here by herself most of the time.

It wasn't until Xu Ning came here to work as a nurse ten days ago that he came to talk with her every day, and every time she waited until she fell asleep before leaving.

After reading the newspaper, the two talked and laughed.

The door of the ward suddenly opened a crack, and a small furry head came in.

When the two saw the little head, they couldn't help but smile at each other, "Carl, why did you run out of the ward?"

Xu Ning stepped forward and bends over to pick up the little boy. He has short golden hair, blue eyes, white complexion, and a fleshy face. He is a very cute little baby.

"Ningning, you didn't come with me." Carl stayed in Xu Ning's arms obediently, watching the old man say hello, "Hello, Mrs. Lawrence, I hope it doesn't disturb you."

"No, I'm glad you came to say hello to me, is Carl well?"

"It's much better." Carl nodded. "Mum said that she would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and go home for Christmas. Will Mrs. Lawrence also go home for Christmas?"

"Yes, I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow morning." Mrs. Lawrence nodded with a smile, "My daughter and grandson come and pick me up."

"That's great."

Carl was admitted to the hospital with a broken arm. He was almost well in the first two days. He can go home and recuperate. Just be careful not to be too naughty, there will be no problem.

So the little guy came to play, there is no problem, but Xu Ning still talked to the nurse, if Carl's parents can't find him, they can come here.

However, Carl's parents also seem to know that their son likes Xu Ning very much. If the son is not in the ward, as long as he finds Xu Ning and guarantees that he can be found, it is the minimum to inform the other party.

At first, the little guy saw that Xu Ning looked different from theirs. He was curious and a little embarrassed at the same time, but after talking with Xu Ning, Carl stuck to her because this little guy liked to listen to stories.

The stories Xu Ning told him were all very interesting oriental stories, such as Agarwood saving his mother, such as Tiger learning art, better than Monkey King, etc. Carl liked Monkey King very much. He knew that Monkey King had seventy-two changes. To figure out the seventy-two changes, Xu Ning is really embarrassed by this.

With the end of busy work, Xu Ning also ushered in the first Christmas of his studying abroad.

Christmas abroad is not just gathering with family for dinner, basically it is gathering with friends to have a carnival.

The Richards and Mrs. Andre, together with some older middle-aged people, went out for a party in the afternoon. Donna and Ashe’s boyfriends also rushed over, and some young people nearby all gathered in Ashe’s house for partying.

Barbecue beer and a variety of gourmet fast food, as well as cheerful music, began at five o'clock in the afternoon.

There are also audio equipment indoors. How can young men and women get together, singing, dancing, drinking and eating meat, and even hiding in the corner and kissing passionately, making Xu Ning somewhat uncomfortable and kissing in front of outsiders. Hug, she still couldn't accept it.

The carnival didn't end until four o'clock in the morning. The living room was slept awkwardly, and Xu Ning simply helped Donna go back.

At the end of the holiday, the school resumed normal classes, and she also devoted all of her time to her schoolwork.

Five years is too long for her, she still wants to rely on hard work and stupid birds to fly first, strive to finish early, and then return to China.

I am also very comfortable abroad, but I always miss my family and Xie Zheng.

Three years later.

Imperial Capital International Airport.

Xu Ning walked out of the airport in a simple costume, with only a suitcase and a handbag in his hand.

"Ningning!" Walking out of the airport, the man Junxiu leaning against an off-road vehicle saw her, lifted his foot forward, and took the suitcase in her hand.

Xu Ning raised his head and looked at the man in front of him greedily. He hadn't seen him for two years. His aura was even stronger. Even if he didn't do anything, just standing like this was enough to attract people involuntarily.

Stretching his arms around his neck, Xu Ning hugged Xie Zheng, her excited voice trembled, "Brother Zheng, I'm back."

"If you don't come back again, I will go abroad to carry you back." Xie Zheng led her to the car with her slender waist, opened the door and stuffed her in, and then stuffed the suitcase into the back seat. , "I have never seen a cruel person like you, who will not come back for three years after leaving."

Previously, Xu Ning said that it was the summer vacation of the following year. However, Xu Ning obtained a master's degree with excellent grades during the summer vacation and was personally guided by a well-known medical professor abroad. Xu Ning did not have time to return to China and spent two years thereafter. During this period, Xu Ning has worked as an attending physician at Harvard General Hospital abroad for one year, and in one year, he independently completed nearly a hundred operations without any recurrence after the operation. All of them are healthy. She recovered and was discharged from the hospital. Her name spread quickly, and was even called a person who was blessed by the hand of God by many people.

A month ago, Xu Ning talked to him on the phone and said that he was about to come back. Many hospitals abroad offered Xu Ning an olive branch, but she refused.

The 24-year-old chief surgeon is worthy of attention wherever it is placed.

In the car, Xu Ning and Xie Zheng talked about what happened abroad, and Xie Zheng listened quietly while driving.

In fact, according to Xu Ning's age, no patient would dare to have such a young girl undergo an operation.

The first time he was a proficient accident with a knife, Xu Ning was an assistant at the time, helping to operate on a car accident. During the operation, the surgeon had an accident. Xu Ning took the initiative to take the scalpel in the opponent's hand. , Calmly and calmly helped the other party to complete the operation, and the postoperative recovery was good, and the other party was discharged from the hospital two months later.

It stands to reason that Xu Ning is facing condemnation for this situation, but the injured identity is not simple. It is a local politician who learned that Xu Ning had operated on himself. He gave Xu Ning a high degree of affirmation and Praise, no matter what your purpose is, at least one life has been saved. This is the most important thing.

After that, the injured person's condition was very good, without any sequelae, Xu Ning also gradually became the chief surgeon from an assistant step by step.

During the last year abroad, there was an operation in three days on average. The operations were large or small, and some family members were very worried that Xu Ning would perform operations on his relatives, but other doctors were too busy to do it. Doppelganger.

Don’t think it’s easy to see a doctor abroad. In fact, you need to make an appointment. Sometimes you can’t make an appointment for several months. In fact, even if there are arbitrary charges in the later period in China, it is very convenient to make an appointment. Most The situation is on-demand, and minor surgery can be scheduled almost anytime.

Xu Ning's reputation was achieved through a series of operations. There was no accident in hundreds of operations, which is rare in any school.

After graduating from the general medical school, students have to start from the ordinary, a few years or even more than a dozen, or even decades, step by step to the position of chief doctor, but Xu Ning has achieved a level that many people can't do.

"Aren't you afraid?" Xie Zheng asked after listening to her.

Xu Ning shook her head: "I am a doctor, not an executioner, so I am not afraid."

Xu Ning was very satisfied when she saw the patients recovering through her hands.

"I didn't expect you to be able to do this." Xie Zheng was proud of this girl.

"I didn't expect it either." Xu Ning sighed, "When I picked up the scalpel for the first time, I was strangely calm. Although I am not dizzy, but seeing the broken chest and **** organs is not timid. , It's weird."

She didn't realize what she had done until the wounded chest was stitched together.

After that, she went to visit the foreign uncle who was over 50 years old almost every day. Seeing that the other's spirit and body were getting better day by day, she was calmed down.

Knowing that she saved him, the Uncle John did not blame him because he was young, but was very grateful. Xu Ning was really embarrassed to say that you were my first patient, and she knew at the time that she was capable of performing surgery on her. Yes, but she is old enough to scare everyone away.

Later, this situation happened from time to time, but Xu Ning always had the most confident way to make the other party nod.

As she said, her accusation is to cure the disease and save people, not to be an executioner and kill people.

The imperial capital has developed rapidly in the past three years. High-rise buildings have been erected. Ningrui Commercial Plaza has also been put into use. The headquarters of Ningrui has also moved. The area of ​​Jinghuai Road is now the most emerging Chinese and foreign brand in the imperial capital. Gathered.

The car stopped in front of the house, Xu Ning pushed the door and looked at the courtyard in front of him, suddenly feeling a little bit timid about nostalgia.

I don't know if her grandparents were going to scold her when she entered the door. After three years of going abroad, she finally knew that she was back home.

Xie Zheng took down the salute and said to Xu Ning: "Go home, you know that you are coming back today, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid!" Xu Ning retorted, "I'm just a little overwhelmed. Isn't my mother angry?"

Xie Zheng smiled and said, "You haven't done anything bad, what is there to be angry with? Let's go."

Stepping into the house, I saw my grandparents standing side by side under the faucet at the kitchen door, busy working.

"Grandpa, grandma!" Xu Ning quickly stepped forward and stood in front of the two old people, "I'm back."

"Huh, you still know to come back." In fact, when the car drove into the alley, the two old men heard the sound of the engine.

Originally, Old Uncle Yao wanted to pick up the child at the door, but he was dragged by his wife, saying that he should not rush to the door in a hurry to scare the child first.

The old Uncle Yao couldn't laugh or cry. He obviously rushed forward every time he called. Now that the child has finally returned, what are you doing to scare others?

This is not self-contradictory, is it okay to look for trouble?

Xu Ning bent down and squatted down beside her grandma, reaching out to help her wash the leeks in the basin.

"Are you really mad at me?" Xu Ning looked at grandma with a smile, "You are so happy when you call you every week, but do you despise me when I come back?"

"Look at whose child did not go home after studying abroad for three years? You are really the first one." Yu Chunhua glanced at her granddaughter, "You don't want to be home at all?"

"Of course I think, I want to be crazy." Xu Ning pleased holding her grandma's hand, "but I want to spend my time studying so that I can return to China earlier, otherwise I will stay abroad for at least four years. Only then can I finish my studies. Now that the students come back for three years, I will stay at home to honor your elders and never leave again."

"Huh, stay at home." Yu Chunhua muttered, "It's weird that you can stay at home. You went in and have a look at it. The offers for you are all piled up in the drawer under the coffee table. NS."

Xu Ning was flabbergasted: "The offer?"

Old Uncle Yao smiled and said: "It's an appointment letter from major hospitals in China. It has been sent to our home six months ago. Your grandma is well preserved, like a baby."

"You know." Yu Chunhua glared at her wife, "You go quickly, don't delay my cooking here."

The latter sentence was spoken to Xu Ning.

Xu Ning didn't care, and helped her grandma cook here. "Anyway, the job offer can't go away. It's not too late. I'll cook for you. What about my mother?"

"In the company, Xiaozheng will go to school to pick up Ruirui for dinner later." Yu Chunhua warned.

Xie Zheng nodded in response.

Xu Rui is in primary three this year and will soon be promoted to primary four. Since elementary school every year, he has been top-notch learning. He has never fallen out of the top three. He is also a man in school, a sportsman, and also holds the position As a small class cadre, there is no student union for elementary school students, and the position of a grade study committee is already very high. This little guy has worked directly for three years and is elected with high votes every year.

Xie Zheng went to pick up Xu Rui. Xu Ning and his grandparents talked about Xu Rui. He learned that this little guy is very popular in school. I heard that there are young girls who are jealous of fighting for him. For this reason, there are many teachers in the elementary school. Because of this kind of thing, please parents. Of course, Xu Rui’s style is very decent. He never spends time with girls in school. He always plays with a few boys in the class. Other girls can’t find other girls in trouble. Xu Rui’s troubles, after all, this kid is doing well in his studies.

Although the matter was caused by Xu Rui, the teacher had never contacted Qin Xuejuan.

What can I say even if I find it? Saying that your son is too good has made other female dolls jealous. Let your son keep a low profile?

The key is that Xu Rui has never been high-key, or no matter how low-key his appearance, his excellent results, his morality, and his athletic versatility can't be low-key.

It really makes the teacher both like to have a headache.

－－－－－－Off-topic －－－－－－

There was a power outage at three o'clock in the morning, and I went downstairs to find the uncle of the property to help deliver the power. The uncle was sleeping, and he was very angry when he opened his eyes, saying that I was tossing him in the middle of the night.
