Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 157 Invitation from the Acupuncture Institute (3K)

Everyone Fangyan met these days was polite to him.

Who dares to speak to him like that?

He raised his head in confusion and looked upstairs following the sound.

Then I saw a familiar old face.

He was stunned and smiled awkwardly:
"What a coincidence, isn't this Director Cheng?"

Cheng Xinnong! Mr. Cheng.

Mr. Zhu’s fellow villager, director of the Acupuncture Institute of China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

I met him at the last Ministry of Health conference, and I promised him at that time that I would visit his research institute when I had time. But just like what I said before about meeting Professor Wang to exchange Taoist massage books, I was so busy that I forgot about it until now.

As expected, Mr. Cheng started to criticize him:
"Stop talking nonsense to me. I invited you to the institute for the conference on the 15th. You promised to come. Look at what date it is now."

"If you don't give me an explanation, I will never let you go today!"

Fang Yan looked around and found that many people were staring at them, so he hurriedly bowed to Cheng Lao:

"Wait a moment, I'll explain it to you right away."

As he said that, he hurried upstairs and came to the clinic where Mr. Cheng was.

Fangyan took a look and saw that it was the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Union Hospital.

The Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Peking Union Medical College was formerly called the Office of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It was established in 1955 and was later renamed the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 1961.

Before 1979, there were no famous doctors working at Peking Union Medical College Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

But their consultants are amazing.

There are Shi Jinmo, one of the four famous doctors in Beijing, as well as famous Chinese medicine practitioners Ren Yingqiu, Chen Shenwu, Qian Qiguang, and Li Chongren.

Fangyan didn't expect that Mr. Cheng, a master of acupuncture, was also here.

"Mr. Cheng, you are also a consultant here?" Fang Yan asked Mr. Cheng.

Mr. Cheng waved his hand:

"I'm here to help, not as a consultant here..."

After that, he reacted and said to Fang Yan:

"Don't interrupt me. Didn't you say you wanted to explain?!"

Ever since they chatted for an entire afternoon last time, Mr. Cheng and Fangyan’s attitude when speaking to others has become less official than it was to ordinary people.

Fang Yan said to him:
"Well, you don't know how I've been these past few days. You wouldn't believe it if I told you."

As he said this, he counted on his fingers to Cheng Lao:
"I rented a house, got engaged, bought furniture, and by the way, I met a man who came to seek revenge on my master. I even had a fight with him and sent him to jail."

"Huh!? You're engaged?" Old Cheng was stunned. He didn't expect Fangyan to act so quickly.

Fangyan nodded.

"And Old Zhu's niece's great-granddaughter?" Old Cheng asked again.

Fangyan responded:
"Yes, of course it's her, the one you saw last time."

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized:

"Oh, Lao Zhu stayed in Nantong for a few days before returning, was it because of this matter?"

The dialect said:

"Yes, that's right. I just entertained him a few days ago. Now you know how busy I am."

Mr. Cheng nodded, then he stroked his beard, frowned and asked:

"That's not right. Why didn't you invite me? Didn't we chat for the whole afternoon last time for nothing?"

Fangyan didn't expect the old man to have such a unique perspective.

We only met once last time, and I invited him. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?

But this cannot be said, Fangyan thought quickly and then said:

"I... I'm engaged now, and you're so busy, so I plan to invite you after the wedding."

After hearing this, Mr. Cheng nodded in satisfaction.

Then he asked:
"By the way, what is that revenge thing you mentioned?"

"Oh, that's it..." Fang Yan briefly explained to Mr. Cheng the whole story of Shan Haoran.

Hearing Shan Haoran's actions, Mr. Cheng was a little surprised. He asked:
"There are people like this in the world? They turn against me right after I help them?"

"Absolutely true." Fang Yan confirmed.

Mr. Cheng shook his head and said with emotion:

"I told you martial artists, it's easiest for you to make enemies with others."

Fang Yan smiled and said:

"I don't know about others, but I practice martial arts just to protect myself."

Mr. Cheng looked at Fangyan's face seriously, and then said:

"Oh, Lao Zhu said that you look like a restless person. I didn't think so at the time, but now I can see it. He was not wrong at all."

"Mr. Cheng, this kind of feudal superstition is not acceptable!" Fang Yan never thought that Mr. Zhu had read his face.

Mr. Cheng said:
"Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. I want to ask you, when are you free to come to my research institute? I'm currently doing a new acupuncture study related to stroke hemiplegia recovery, and I want you to come and consult with me."

"Just me?" Fangyan asked.

Mr. Cheng responded:

"Of course not... There are also some professors and students from Capital University of Chinese Medicine, but they are all here these days. Just tell me when you are free to come."

Hearing an invitation of this type again, and also with professors and students from the school... Fangyan thought for a moment and replied:

"Then... tomorrow afternoon?"

Mr. Cheng raised his eyebrows:
"You have time so soon?"

The dialect said:

"Since you've already asked me, how can I refuse?"

Hearing Fangyan's enthusiasm, he smiled and said:

"You are quite a good person. No wonder Old Zhu likes you."

Then he patted Fangyan on the shoulder:

"Okay then. I'll wait for you at the institute tomorrow afternoon."

Fang Yan nodded in agreement. At this time, Mr. Cheng remembered something, and he took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Fang Yan:

"I may not be able to pick you up by then. Just take this pass and show it to the sentry. I will talk to them in advance and let you in directly."

Fangyan opened it and saw that it was actually Mr. Cheng’s own ID.

he asked:
"No... I took yours, what are you going to do with it?"

Mr. Cheng pointed to his face:

"My face is my passport."

“……”Fang Yan was convinced.

Of course, this is also true, and Fangyan suspects that there is another meaning behind the old man giving him a pass.

That is to avoid standing him up again.

After all, I have this book in my hand, so I have to return it.

……

Afterwards, Fang Yan said goodbye to Mr. Cheng and went to find his mother and Zhu Lin, intending to take them to see the new TV they had bought today.

My mother suggested that we go over with Zhu Lin’s mother and watch TV.

After all, Zhu Lin’s mother had never been to that courtyard house once.

Now's a good opportunity to go in and take a look.

Fangyan thought about it and agreed.

Then everyone waited for Zhu Lin's mother to get off work at the place where she usually did. After she came out, the group came to Fangyan's courtyard together.

At this time, the street office diagonally opposite was also getting off work. When Director Feng saw Fang Yan and his people coming here, he quickly greeted them warmly.

When she saw Zhu Lin standing with Fang Yan, she was immediately struck by her beauty. She felt that this girl was more beautiful than any other girl she had ever seen, and kept praising Fang Yan for being so lucky.

There's nothing we can do about it; the Queen's appearance is absolutely in line with the aesthetic standards of the time.

A peaceful face, a dignified temperament, and a gentle voice, she looks like she came out of a painting.

Director Feng finally said that with this face, he should act in movies.

Everyone else thought she was just praising Zhu Lin, but Fang Yan couldn't help but look at Director Feng a few more times.

I feel that Director Feng’s eyes are quite vicious.

After saying goodbye to Director Feng, Fang Yan led a few people into the courtyard.

When my mother-in-law Fu Zhaojun came for the first time, she found that the courtyard, which looked very narrow from the outside, was surprisingly large once she entered.

She was also a little surprised and first looked at the laboratory in the back house in the front yard. As a person from the Institute of Health, she was more familiar with the layout here than anyone else on the scene.

He kept praising this place as a great place, saying it was well preserved and that with some modifications it could be used as a teaching laboratory at home.

Fang Yan didn't expect that she would actually give a positive review of this place that most people found creepy. He originally planned to renovate it into an entertainment room or something if it was not used.

After all, he doesn't have much time to do experiments at home.

Now that I think about it, I can probably keep it for a while.

Then everyone walked into the main courtyard. Fang Yan first opened the east and west wing rooms and the ear room to let his future mother-in-law have a look.

Seeing how spacious this place is, Fu Zhaojun gave a high evaluation of Fangyan.

It is said to be better than the villas of Concord experts.

Fangyan didn’t know what the expert’s villa looked like, but after hearing what his future mother-in-law said, he felt that it was probably a bit exaggerated, because it was a villa.

As if knowing that Fangyan and the others didn't believe him, Fu Zhaojun explained that although those villas looked nice, the space inside was actually not as big as a courtyard house.

The kitchen on the east side and the guest rooms on the west side are together bigger than the villa.

It was only then that Fangyan realized that her mother-in-law's definition of a good house should be based on the usable area. In her eyes, the courtyard house here is both big and good.

In addition, the place was well maintained and had a sewer system, so it was no worse than Concorde's villa.

To some extent, it is indeed better than over there.

Anyway, it depends on what you think. Fu Zhaojun must like this place.

They are already talking about the fact that Fang Yan and Zhu Lin can have more children in the future. Since this place is so spacious, it won't be a problem to accommodate them.

This made Zhu Lin blush.

Although she has secretly talked to Fangyan about having children, she still feels a little shy when her mother teases her.

Fu Zhaojun then praised the two big trees in the yard, saying they were Platycladus orientalis, which should be quite old. They were the same species of trees that can be found in many temples in the capital.

This tree is most commonly found in famous mountains and ancient temples.

It's very suitable to be planted here.

Fangyan didn't expect that these two trees were so particular, and he also learned something new.

Then everyone came into the house and saw the TV that Fangyan had placed on the coffee table, and they all moved over.

Fangyan opened it and showed them this new thing.

The TV signal was quite strong at that moment, and the TV program was playing the TV program "Collection of Arts and Crafts". The three female comrades couldn't take their eyes off it for a while.

In the end, it was Fangyan who reminded them, and then they remembered that they had to take the bus back today.

After they left the house, the four of them walked towards the bus stop. Zhu Lin's mother said to her daughter:

"Linlin will be blessed in the future. She can sit here and watch TV after get off work without having to squeeze on the bus. Just thinking about it makes me happy..."

After hearing this, Zhu Lin smiled, took his mother's hand, and looked proudly at Fangyan standing next to him.

This is all thanks to the dialect.

When Fangyan heard what his mother-in-law said,

"If you like, you can come over anytime. There are many rooms here and it's easy to arrange. When the time comes, ask your uncle and my dad to take the bus over after get off work."

These words surprised He Huiru and Fu Zhaojun. They had never thought about it this way.

Zhu Lin reacted, nodded repeatedly and said:
"That's right, you two have been riding the bus for so many years, it's time for others to ride the bus too."

As soon as these words were spoken, He Huiru and Fu Zhaojun immediately laughed.

He Huiru smiled and nodded and said:
"Hahaha, that's great, then let Lao Fang squeeze on the bus as well."

Fu Zhaojun also said happily:

"Yes, this is a good idea. I will tell Lao Zhu about it when I get back and see how he reacts."
