Parents!

After the surgery, before Guo Ziyuan could even report to Resident Liu Chuntao, he received a call from his advisor, Professor Huang Zhao.

Perfect timing! Today, Liu Chuntao is working as a senior resident assistant for a professional doctoral student, so Guo Ziyuan doesn't need to be "arrogant" and try to seize the opportunity!

"Okay... Master, I'll be right there. Thank you for your understanding, Master." Guo Ziyuan thanked him as he stepped out into the hot air.

Professor Huang Zhao actually took into account that it was his surgery day and chose the afternoon for the "arranged" surgery.

For an old man like him to have such thoughts shows that he truly cares about Guo Ziyuan.

"Master, would you like some Yishi cuisine today?" Guo Ziyuan suggested as it was approaching lunchtime.

"Oh... Master, you've decided on the location. Alright, I'll do as you say."

Guo Ziyuan knew that too much of a good thing is bad.

The advisor is not like other leaders; it's not that the more detailed your arrangements, the more he will like your group.

Making demands at the right time, and being appropriately "incompetent" or "starving," will give them a sense of accomplishment in nurturing a child.

In fact, Guo Ziyuan knows that many parents do not want their children to grow up quickly. Real parents hope that their children can enjoy a carefree childhood.

At least many parents of Guo Ziyuan's generation in later generations had this kind of thinking.

After hanging up the phone, Guo Ziyuan chose to take a taxi.

After placing the order, Guo Ziyuan discovered that his "bank card" balance was already empty.

145.32?

It's only September 21st, and the 1400 subsidy that was issued on the 6th of this month has already run out?

Being sensible comes at a "price"!

After checking his bank card balance, Guo Ziyuan wasn't particularly anxious and immediately called his parents.

After his rebirth, Guo Ziyuan's relationship with his parents became much more relaxed.

At this time, the parents were only approaching fifty, physically strong and energetic. They wouldn't put any "marriage pressure" on him: "Dad, this month's allowance is used up, you need to help out a bit."

After starting graduate school, Guo Ziyuan received a stipend, so he rarely asked his family for money anymore, a far cry from how frequently he asked during his undergraduate years.

In his previous life, Guo Ziyuan at this age had to be frugal because he was concerned about these things.

If you're broke, no matter how eloquent or sensible you are, it's all just empty talk. It's better to bring some small gifts instead.

It wasn't until I started working that I realized how incredibly cost-effective these "opportunities" that could be obtained with just a small investment were.

It's like dating. In high school and college, you can get a girl into your room just by being sweet-talking, offering her milk tea and steamed dishes.

Once they enter the workforce, no matter how much steak you take them out to eat, they won't be able to get into a hotel...

What's valuable isn't age, but the atmosphere at this age.

"How many do you want?" Guo Qisong asked.

Guo Ziyuan asked, "One thousand, Dad?"

"Is a thousand enough? Do you want me to give you more?" Guo Qisong had no resentment towards Guo Ziyuan before he turned thirty-one!

I just think this child is easy to take care of.

For an ordinary farming family, a bachelor's degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology and a master's degree from the Affiliated People's Hospital of Wuhan University represent a path to a "celestial palace."

After turning thirty-one, Guo Qisong's resentment towards Guo Ziyuan was that he was "immature" and didn't think about getting married or giving him a grandson to play with.

Guo Qisong said, "What I mean is that you are still in the learning stage, so you should be more cautious about dating."

"But if we really do talk about it, your mother and I will support it."

Guo Ziyuan is already twenty-five, almost twenty-six.

Children of the same age can already run.

"Dad, it's not about dating, it's just that practicing skills and studying costs a lot," Guo Ziyuan said frankly.

"I'm already 25, why would I be afraid of my parents interfering with my dating?"

To be honest, after starting work, Guo Ziyuan didn't feel that buying consumables for practicing his skills would bring any financial pressure.

He could easily buy a set of professional textbooks, and they would all be genuine copies costing several thousand yuan.

Now, Guo Ziyuan feels he's already tightening his belt, but his wallet is still too thin.

"Learning a skill is a serious matter and cannot be delayed."

"I'll transfer two thousand to you..." Guo Qisong said hurriedly.

Tuotuo's mother, Xu Rongxiang, said, "Just transfer three thousand. Tuotuo is very sensible and never spends money recklessly."

"He rarely speaks up, but this is one of the few times he has."

Tuotuo is Guo Ziyuan's nickname. He was very chubby when he was a child and looked round, so he got the nickname "Tuotuo".

In rural areas, people don't call you "Dog," which is a good nickname because it's easy to raise someone with that kind of name. "Tuotuo" is actually a rather "refined" nickname.

"Thank you, Mom." Guo Ziyuan smiled, missing his parents at this time so much, who were so understanding towards him.

When the car arrived and the door was opened, Guo Ziyuan hesitated for a moment longer.

Yes, taking a taxi costs money too.

The advisor didn't give him the money back...

but?

Never mind, it's all for learning skills.

Tuotuo's mother, Xu Rongxiang, answered the phone: "Tuotuo, will you be able to come home for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year?"

"I guess I won't be able to come back. Mom, I'm in residency training." Guo Ziyuan thought for a moment, realizing he couldn't get leave.

Guo Ziyuan hasn't been home for the Lunar New Year for two years, as he's been on duty at the hospital. He only goes home after the holiday, stays for two days, and then has to leave again...

It had been such a long time since she had seen her child that Xu Rongxiang started to miss him.

"It's nothing, I was just asking casually. Your studies are the most important thing right now."

"Your grandparents asked about you a few days ago. Your maternal grandparents also said they haven't seen you in a long time..." Xu Rongxiang said proudly.

Compared to many people who go out to work to make a living, Guo Ziyuan is pursuing a master's degree, which is a golden road to a bright future!

Guo Ziyuan has the highest level of education in the Guo family and also the highest level in the Xu family.

Guo Ziyuan thought for a moment and said, "But Mom, I'll probably be going back to Yishi in the next few months. My teacher has arranged for me to study there for a while..."

"I should be able to find time to go home then."

Xu Rongxiang's tone changed abruptly: "What are you doing back in Yishi? Have you gotten into trouble?"

In Xu Rongxiang's eyes, no matter how good Yishi Hospital is, it can't compare to the Provincial People's Hospital.

"No, it's because the teacher values ​​me and wants me to go to a grassroots hospital to learn more surgical techniques and gain grassroots work experience."

"It's to prepare for future promotions. Most people my age wouldn't dare to think like that."

"Really? You can get promoted?" Xu Rongxiang actually had no idea about Guo Ziyuan's future. Guo Ziyuan's current level was already beyond his 'comprehension'.

She couldn't help, nor did she dare to offer advice or guidance; Guo Ziyuan had to rely on himself to make his own way.

Guo Ziyuan smiled and answered frankly, "It's true."

"But I'm still far from getting a promotion; my main purpose is to learn."

Guo Ziyuan quickly stopped bragging, after all, in front of Xu Rongxiang, Guo Ziyuan's vanity was the least of his kind.

Xu Rongxiang asked, "Didn't you say before that it was difficult for you to get a doctorate? Your hospital doesn't accept people who aren't PhDs."

"It's not that they won't accept PhDs, so just work hard to pass the exam."

Guo Ziyuan tightened his voice: "There's a sliver of hope, but we still have to work extremely hard, so we have to listen to our teacher..."

If it were his father, Guo Ziyuan would openly say that he was doing well, but with his mother, Guo Ziyuan felt that he should be more reserved.

She was just an ordinary rural woman who liked to compare her children with others...

There's nothing wrong with that, but I'm afraid she might overdo it.

After hanging up the phone, Guo Ziyuan took the initiative to call his advisor again.

"Master, what kind of surgery are we going to perform today?" Guo Ziyuan asked this question because he wanted to see if he could find a surgeon specializing in minor fracture surgery.

The advisor had mentioned before that he would find some surgeons to perform minor surgeries for Guo Ziyuan, but Guo Ziyuan was afraid that Huang Zhao would forget, so of course he had to take the initiative to "actively remind" him.

"Amputation, you'll be the surgeon." Huang Zhao's tone was calm, yet strangely eerie.

This gave Guo Ziyuan a bad feeling.
