Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 252 Genius Meets Genius (3K)

"Have you seen Director Hu's eldest grandson?" Fang Yan asked his mother and Zhu Lin who were with them, carrying a few lunch boxes.

Zhu Lin shook his head:
"I have never met any of his family members, and we interns are all afraid of our leaders, so we try not to talk if we can."

"It's because of you that Director Hu has smiled at me during this period. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said more than three sentences to me in a month."

Hearing the Queen say this, Fang Yan recalled that when he was interning at the hospital, he encountered a similar situation. Especially when talking to older leaders, he also maintained the policy of not speaking if possible.

At this time, my mother He Huiru took over the conversation and said:
"I have met his children. I heard that they worked in the judicial system and the military. They are all very successful."

“But I’ve never seen my grandchildren.”

When Fang Yan heard that his family didn't know either, he simply gave up thinking about it. He went to the gate of the villa area, greeted the guard, and asked him to inform Professor Hu.

Since the last incident, outsiders who want to see the experts inside need to be strictly checked.

If Fang Yan had not been involved in capturing enemy spies before, he would not have been able to bring in all the vegetables in his hand.

Soon their application to enter was approved.

Then a special security guard took them to Director Hu’s villa.

Because Director Hu had just received a notification from the security guard, when Fang Yan and his group arrived at the villa, he was already standing outside the yard waiting.

"Welcome, welcome!" Director Hu greeted everyone with a smile.

Fang Yan walked up to him and shook hands with him, then handed him the net bag containing the lunch box and said:

"Director Hu, these are the vegetables your eldest grandson sent over. I took them and made a few dishes."

Director Hu was not polite, he took the net bag with a smile and said:
"Oh, you're too polite."

He Huiru said from behind:

"You're so polite. The vegetables grown in this yard are thinking of us."

Their yard has been turned into a vegetable garden, where all kinds of vegetables, fruits and melons can be seen.

After hearing this, Director Hu said:

"They are planted by the old ladies at home when they are bored. Look around you, most of the households are planting. They were afraid of starvation in the past few years, and they always feel that if they don't plant something on their own land, they will feel uneasy."

"If we can't finish eating these now, we can give them to the neighbors. Everyone has some, so they won't be rare. I just remembered that your family just moved here, so I asked my eldest grandson to send some over."

He greeted everyone:

"Come on, please come in."

Then several people followed him across the yard and into the villa.

It is a very typical American country villa of the last century, which can often be seen in movies. The furniture inside is also very American in style. It looks like it is old items that have been left here after it was repaired.

Standing at the door, Fangyan felt as if he was on the other side of the earth.

The style is completely different from Fangyan's home's Chinese retro decoration. There are sofas, carpets, refrigerators, TVs, radios, large pendulum clocks, and even a fireplace in the living room that shows obvious signs of use.

Fangyan looked carefully and saw the stairs to the second floor.

There should also be a basement.

The overwhelming bohemian atmosphere even makes the dialect a little uncomfortable.

Do you doubt whether this style of painting is really possible in this era?

Zhu Lin and He Huiru, who also came here for the first time, couldn't help but compare it with the Siheyuan. This place was probably the size of the two wing rooms in their house combined. In comparison, the Siheyuan was indeed much more stable and majestic.

The doctors who used to work at Peking Union Medical College all dreamed of living in the villa area one day. Everyone said how good and wonderful it was there, but in comparison, they found that the courtyard houses were not as good as they thought. The two of them immediately lost their fascination with the villas they had been dreaming of.

Sitting down on the sofa in the living room, Fang Yan found that he did not see Director Hu's family, so he asked:
"Director Hu, where are the other people in your family?"

Director Hu said:
"Oh, my wife should be boiling water for tea now."

"My eldest grandson is reading or writing something upstairs."

At this time, Zhu Lin took over the conversation and asked:
"Director, how old is your eldest grandson this year?"

Hearing this question, Director Hu was startled, and then asked:

"Didn't you see him when he came to deliver the vegetables?"

Zhu Lin shook his head and said:
"When he delivered it, he left as soon as we opened the door. We could only guess that it was you who delivered it. We ran to the guard to confirm and found out that your eldest grandson had indeed pushed a cart out to deliver a basket of vegetables."

After hearing this, Director Hu muttered:

"I was wondering why you came back so quickly..."

Then he said to them in dialect:

"I'm sorry, my eldest grandson has some personality flaws. He is afraid of meeting strangers. This time, I think his old habit has come back again."

After hearing what Director Hu said, Fang Yan took over the conversation and said:

"It's okay. Sometimes I'm afraid of social situations. I always feel uncomfortable when I have to greet strangers."

Director Hu's expression suddenly became a little strange. After hesitating for a moment, he said to Fang Yan:

"He's not what you said..."

"He suffered a traumatic experience when he was a child, and since then his condition has been unstable."

"Although extreme situations are less likely to occur now, small problems like this still occur frequently. I'm sorry to embarrass you."

Fangyan waved his hands repeatedly:

"No no."

Although the person was not seen, the situation was clear. Just as Fangyan had guessed before, he was indeed not a normal person.

"The tea is here!" At this moment, an old lady with glasses and gray hair came over from the direction of the restaurant, carrying several cups of tea on a tray.

The three members of Fangyan's family quickly stood up politely.

Director Hu also introduced them to Fangyan:
"This is my wife, Wu Fang. She used to be an art teacher and is now retired."

"Hello, Teacher Wu." The three members of the Fangyan family greeted the old lady one after another.

The old lady smiled kindly and replied:

"Hello, hello." "Come on, everyone, please have some tea."

Then Director Hu told his wife again about sending something for his eldest grandson today. After hearing this, his wife immediately felt distressed and wanted to go upstairs to see her eldest grandson.

Director Hu didn't stop her and let her go upstairs.

After that, Fangyan pretended nothing happened and chatted with Director Hu while drinking tea. Although the two were not from the same academic system, Fangyan had studied Western medicine in college in his previous life, and the 40% of his grades in Western medicine were not learned blindly.

Especially the famous foreign medical journals, Fangyan read every issue at that time.

It can be said that we have a clear understanding of the future development direction of Western medicine.

He chatted with the old man for a long time, and even Zhu Lin and He Huiru were unable to get a word in. Finally, Fang Yan saw that the time was almost up, so he got up and said goodbye.

Director Hu was somewhat reluctant to let Fangyan leave.

Holding Fangyan's hand, he said:

"Every time we chat, I feel like I benefit a lot. I think you can achieve something by studying Western medicine."

Fang Yan smiled and said:

"Director Hu, everyone has their own aspirations. I still prefer Chinese traditional medicine."

"Besides, both Chinese and Western medicine are used to treat illnesses and save lives. We all have different paths but the same goal."

Hearing Fangyan say this, Director Hu nodded and said nothing more.

I just told him that he could come here more often when he has nothing to do.

The two sides are close anyway.

Then he called out his lover's name upstairs and asked her to come down with him to see the guests off.

After a while, old lady Wu Fang came down.

Also coming down with them was a young man in his early twenties.

He wore glasses and had a slight squint, but otherwise looked like a normal person.

Director Hu introduced that this was his eldest grandson, Hu Yiming.

Hu Yiming greeted them.

He spoke in a low voice and very quickly, and it was obvious that he was a socially anxious person.

After a brief meeting, Hu Yiming apologized for his previous behavior, saying that he could not control his fear at the time, and then ran away before Fang Yan and the others opened the door.

Fangyan smiled and said it was no problem.

But in his heart he was thinking that perhaps “opening the door” was related to a scene that had stimulated him in the past.

However, Fangyan is not an expert in psychology. Just looking at Hu Yiming's face, with his broad forehead and full upper face, he feels that this man should be a person with very developed brain power.

Judging from the thick lenses of his glasses, it must be caused by his intensive reading on a daily basis.

Based on Professor Hu's family situation, Fangyan guessed that he might be training towards academic talent.

When they escorted the three of them out of the yard, Hu Yiming suddenly called Fang Yan and said to him:
"Thank you for helping me retrieve the research data."

"Huh?" Fang Yan was stunned.

Then he immediately reacted and asked:
"You mean...the data that was stolen last time included your stuff?"

"Yeah." Hu Yiming nodded shyly.

Professor Hu said:
"He also helps the company with some things at home."

Fangyan asked:

"Is it from Western medicine?"

Professor Hu said:
"That's not it, he's in physics and mathematics."

Fangyan suddenly realized that face really doesn't lie.

It seems that he might be a young expert in physics and mathematics.

This kind of person has some psychological trauma, and the dialect even feels that this fits the stereotype in his mind.

The name Hu Yiming sounded somewhat familiar, but Fangyan was certain that he had never seen him in his previous life. Perhaps he had confused his name with someone else's.

Fangyan and the other two were escorted to the door.

Then he waved goodbye and left.

After they left, Hu Yiming, who was socially anxious, quickly returned home.

I don't want to stay even a second longer.

Professor Hu said with some regret:

"It would be great if such a good seedling could come and study Western medicine."

When Wu Fang heard what her husband said, she asked curiously:
"It's rare to hear you speak so highly of him. Is that young man named Fangyan very capable?"

Professor Hu paused and thought for a moment before commenting:
"Let's put it this way. At least in the medical field, there is no one better than him at his age."

"You can think of him as another Yiming, a Yiming who is always in a normal state."

After hearing this, Wu Fang looked in the direction where her eldest grandson left and nodded:

"If that's the case, then he is indeed a genius."

Professor Hu lamented:

"In five years, when the college students admitted this year graduate, perhaps we will hear his name often."

"Isn't that great?" Wu Fang said.

Professor Hu turned his head and looked in the direction of Fangyan's courtyard, then said:

"You don't understand how I feel..."

"He didn't learn Western medicine, but instead studied Chinese medicine. It's such a pity that this talent has entered someone else's field right under my nose."
