[0 Skill Medal Mission: Carefully complete the knotting technique 100000 times (/).]

To be honest, there were too many things bursting out at once, making Zhou Yanqing dazzled.

But after careful sorting, you will find that the medals of [Hammer and Temper] and [Practice Makes Perfect] are the magical skills in the early stage, while the Fine Skill Hall is the magical skill in the late stage.

Although there was no free lunch from violence, Zhou Yanqing was still very happy.

Most ordinary people don’t particularly expect to get something for nothing; they just hope that hard work will be rewarded, and if hard work and diligence can be exchanged for progress, it is already a good thing.

The incision technique suddenly improved to [Expertise 1/5], and Zhou Yanqing didn't know what level it was at now.

But Zhou Yanqing was not in a hurry for the time being. Today's training was a bit tiring. Zhou Yanqing was almost vomiting while practicing the incision in the training room. He needed to go back and have a good rest.

……

After Zhou Yanqing returned to the dormitory, he planned to get himself a glass of water, but when he saw that the bucket on the water dispenser was empty, he went downstairs and exchanged it for a bucket with six yuan.

After paying the bill and carrying the bucket upstairs again and getting a glass of water, Zhou Yanqing sat in a chair and stared at the 2000 yuan transfer from his father in a daze for nearly ten seconds.

Then he stood up, took out the thick blue book of Practical Orthopedics, and started reading it, while slowly drinking slightly warm water.

The horrible weather in August, the normal temperature is not normal anymore...

I turned around and turned on the air conditioner in the dormitory, then went to wash up.

More than ten minutes later, Zhou Yanqing, wearing pajamas and wiping his hair with a towel, finally got rid of the heat and boredom and sent a video to his parents.

"Dad, Mom, have you eaten?" Zhou Yanqing asked.

On the other side of the video, the light is dim, and my parents are sitting under a big tree next to the ditch in their hometown to cool off. The water in this ditch comes from a cave, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. The dark yellow old-fashioned incandescent light outside the old wooden house is dim...

"I have eaten. I have even had supper. Today, my second uncle Yan Xun's family is getting married at the back of the house. I just came back from supper and washed your mother's feet here..." replied the father.

My hometown still has the familiar smell. On summer nights, there are always many people washing their feet in the flowing mountain spring water in the ditch to cool down.

Zhou Yanqing turned on the lamp on his desk so his parents could see his face clearly, and smiled: "Dad, please don't rush me. I can't even support myself. If I find a girlfriend, it will only add more burden to the family."

In medicine, a "high-end" master's degree still has to rely on his parents for support at the age of 26.

However, the subsidy during the doctoral period is more than 4,000 and close to 5,000, which is enough for my own use.

Mother heard this and her voice came from afar: "If you can find it, you don't have to worry about whether it is a burden or not. I just think you don't want to look for it."

"You have been corrupted by your father's philosophy. A man is only afraid of a poor future, not of his wife not being able to accept him."

Liang Yue became worried: "I have noticed that there are more and more bachelors who can't find a wife."

Zhou Yanqing replied: "Mom, the chances of your son not finding a wife are still low." "Today I mainly want to tell you something. I still want to go to Kyoto next month to try Jishuitan!"

In China, for children from ordinary families, if Huaqing Hospital is the dream school and Union Medical College Hospital is the dream school for all medical students; then the orthopedics department of Jishuitan Hospital is the dream department of all orthopedic medical students.

The master's degree is a national unified examination, with a written test and a re-examination. During the re-examination, if the professional ability is not particularly outstanding, scientific research results will be given priority!
Zhou Yanqing only graduated from Hengnan University for his undergraduate degree. In order to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, he spent most of his time reading and studying. How much time did he have to practice?
To be honest, if you want to do scientific research during undergraduate studies, it can only be considered a dream because no one will be willing to take you there unless your family has some connections or wealth to help with the exchange.

Huaqing University and Kyoto University do have opportunities for children from ordinary families to join research groups and do scientific research, but they are Huaqing University and Kyoto University after all, not Hengda University. Hengda University does not have such an atmosphere...

Children from ordinary families can only compete in studying and theory.

The doctoral application and assessment system is a school-based independent enrollment system, such as famous schools affiliated to Peking University and Peking Union Medical College.

The application, assessment and admission for doctoral students are held in September of the previous year. This is their unique charm and courage, because they want to select all the top talents in the country in advance, and only after screening the top batch will they demote the less talented contestants!

"Okay, let's go. Your mother and I agree on this."

"You are young, so you should take risks when you need to, as long as it does not harm your body and does not exhaust you both mentally and physically. You can be as tired as you want and suffer as much as you want."

"But!~" My father's voice also broke.

"If one day you feel like you can't handle it anymore, or you feel too tired, don't go to extremes, kid."

"Our greatest hope for you is your health, not your future. Did you hear me?" the father asked seriously.

Zhou Yanqing nodded naturally: "Definitely not, Dad."

Zhou Yanqing took a deep breath and said, "Even if I can't make it in the medical field anymore, I'm willing to go home and farm with you."

The father pondered for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "The only thing your parents can teach you is how to farm."

This sentence broke down Zhou Yanqing, who was usually very stable. He raised his head and held back tears. He took two deep breaths before lowering his head and saying calmly, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to read. You guys should go to bed early..."

"Okay, you should also go to bed early."

The video hangs up.

Zhou Yanqing took out a piece of paper and wiped the corners of his eyes, leaving the paper slightly wet.

Then he looked at his own dashboard, thinking that the future was promising, and continued to read immersively...

This time I went to Jishuitan again, I had no other thoughts, I just wanted to go again. If I could pass the exam, it would just make up for the regrets during my master's degree.

If you still fail regretfully, it just happens that your youth completes the loop.

Jishuitan is still the same Jishuitan, the top orthopedic school in the country. Zhou Yanqing seemed to have engraved in his mind the questions asked by the doctor during the phone call after he failed the re-examination.

"If the orthopedics department in Jishuitan doesn't do scientific research in China, then the development of orthopedics in China will be lost."

"The orthopedics department of Jishuitan has never lacked top-notch surgical techniques; the orthopedics department of Jishuitan does not need people to repeat the current mature surgical procedures..."

[Note 1: The time point selected in this article is when Jishuitan was affiliated with Kyoto University. Now it is affiliated with Capital Medical University. Please do not argue with those who know this.]
