This doctor is already middle-aged, and he's only just started practicing medicine.

Chapter 121 Mu Nanshu Can't Chop Vegetables!
The expressions of Dong Qiaoshan and the others were conflicted. Of course, it wasn't just Dong Qiaoshan who was conflicted; Lin Bin and the others also had rather strange looks in their eyes.

Everyone's attention was focused on Xie Yuan'an, as if to say, "Is this how everyone at Peking Union Medical College Hospital behaves?"
Although this class was organized in the name of Professor Xie Xiao, most people actually came for Professor Zhong Junyun.

Zhong Junyun doesn't have to teach the entire course, but he can't just teach one person, right?

Xie Yuan'an felt a little awkward under the gaze, but she didn't let herself be forced into a corner: "Actually, it's a good thing. Professor Xie said he would invite Professor Lan back for another performance."

"Professor Lan's techniques, shouldn't all of you be familiar with them?"

Upon hearing Xie Yuan'an's words, everyone's expression changed drastically. Dong Qiaoshan even blurted out, "Professor Xie, could we not request Professor Lan to return?"

Lan Hualuo's skills are certainly good, but the teaching process was like a barrage of artillery fire, a real iron-willed gunman. He almost drove Lan Hualuo to despair just now. It would have been better if Lan Hualuo hadn't come at all.

"Honest advice is hard to hear, but Professor Dong and Professor Lan will be fair to us." Xie Yuan'an skillfully positioned herself as a victim to gain everyone's sympathy.

As a result, everyone stopped questioning and started to smile wryly.

In an instant, Lu Cheng's figure floated in from the door of the control room. After entering, he said enthusiastically, "Teacher Xie, no need, no need, I can tidy up the control panel myself."

"Please go and rest first..."

Xie Yuan'an's arched eyebrows arched, like a broken bridge, and she asked in surprise, "Didn't you go to dinner with Professor Lan?"

Dong Qiaoshan and Lin Bin looked over, puzzled.

"I have an appointment with someone, so it's not appropriate for me to break it." As Lu Cheng spoke, he put on his inspection gloves and began tidying up the workbench.

He said politely, "Teacher Xie, please go and rest. I'll take care of tidying up here."

Dong Qiaoshan's square face turned into the character "囧" (jiǒng), which was even more puzzling.

Bro, who did you reject? Lan Hualuo, an 'absolutely amazing guy' whose resume is even more impressive than Liu Huanglong's, who has an academician title as high as Mount Tai. You rejected him?
Lan Hualuo may like to criticize, but that doesn't mean Professor Lan Hualuo is a bad person!

If the opportunity arises, Dong Qiaoshan would like to have a few meals with Professor Lan Hualuo to strengthen their relationship.

However, even the director of the Hand Surgery Department of the Provincial People's Hospital might not be able to invite Professor Lan Hualuo. The phrase "young and promising" is perfectly embodied in Lan Hualuo.

Xie Yuan'an understood what Lu Cheng meant by the agreement. Although she didn't understand, she didn't look at him as an idiot. She just felt that both Mu Nanshu and Lu Cheng were worth it.

Lu Cheng returned to tidy up the control panel, and Xie Yuan'an and the others naturally left one after another.

Lu Cheng's words left them all bewildered, so they all forgot to be polite to him.

After leaving the house, Lin Bin touched the back of his head, still feeling dazed. "Did I hear that right? Xiao Lu turned down the dinner invitation Professor Lan offered?"

"Is it because he's not from Hubei Province, so he doesn't understand Professor Lan Hualuo's importance?" This was the only reason Lin Bin could think of.

Xie Yuan'an glanced at Lin Bin and said in a low voice, "Dr. Lu Cheng's residency training unit is the Department of Trauma Surgery at Zhongnan Hospital."

"Then why?" Lin Bin questioned Xie Yuan'an as if she were an enemy.

Xie Yuan'an said, "If I had known, Professor Lan would have been the one to treat me to dinner."

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

"Also, I didn't complain. Professor Lan is just like that. He only respects his teachers and treats everyone else as equal. He just wants to criticize people."

A woman's heart, a needle under the sea.

These are two completely different things, okay?

Lin Bin: "..."

Dong Qiaoshan: "..."

……

In the parking lot, Lu Cheng rolled down the driver's side window and looked at Mu Nanshu, who was walking gracefully towards him wearing super short shorts that revealed her long white legs and carrying a woven bag: "Going to the market or out for a big meal?"

Mu Nanshu instinctively replied, "Let's go to the market. You can buy meat and ribs there and they can cut them, and they can also cut potato shreds."

Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng was slightly puzzled: "You don't know how to chop vegetables? I remember you do." Mu Nanshu's usually generous expression instantly became flustered, and she shook her head, saying, "I'm too lazy to bother."

But Lu Cheng, being a professional orthopedic surgeon, immediately realized something, unbuckled his seatbelt, and got out of the car: "Let me see your hand."

Mu Nanshu extended his left hand.

"Right hand!" Lu Cheng shouted sharply, his voice sounding somewhat fierce.

Mu Nanshu stretched out his right hand with a nervous expression.

As you can see, there are faint traces of stitches on the pads of Mu Nanshu's right index and ring fingers. Although they are not visible, you can still see the clues if you look closely.

Lu Cheng's tone softened considerably: "Is this your reason for choosing to work full-time in scientific research? What's going on?"

Mu Nanshu did not directly enter clinical practice, and when she was abroad, she almost never entered clinical practice either.

Mu Nanshu claimed that her main job was scientific research, and Lu Cheng believed her without giving it much thought.

"I accidentally cut myself while doing animal testing, and I'm one of those animals that didn't recover very well," Mu Nanshu explained casually, then chuckled.

"It's okay. Although I'm not good at operating gastroscopy and endoscopy, it's not like you can't make a living in gastroenterology just because you can't operate gastroscopy."

Lu Cheng released Mu Nanshu's hand: "How could you be so careless?"

Of course, after asking the question, Lu Cheng realized that what Mu Nanshu said about facing great pressure while studying abroad was true.

While foreign countries emphasize a happy childhood and a happy youth, there is never a saying about a happy university or a happy "postgraduate".

"I'm off to buy groceries."

"How did your studies go today? Were you able to keep up with the pace?"

"I asked Xie Yuan'an, but she doesn't seem to have answered me," Mu Nanshu changed the subject.

“We were all scolded terribly in the afternoon, especially Xie Yuan’an, who was scolded by Professor Lan for a full half hour. She was probably not in a good mood.” Lu Cheng did not mention that he had rejected Professor Lan Hualuo.

Otherwise, Mu Nanshu might say he was stupid again.

Although Lu Cheng couldn't cook, he was very good at buying and chopping vegetables. He often bought vegetables in Long County. The prices of vegetables in Han City were different from those in Long County, but he could ask around at several stores to get a general idea of ​​the prices.

"These chilies are only three yuan next door, you want three yuan and fifty cents? Boss, can you make it cheaper?" Lu Cheng stood next to Mu Nanshu, and Lu Cheng was in charge of bargaining.

"The quality is different. Young man, you're so young, why are you so concerned about this?" The proprietress warmly helped Lu Cheng carry the bag.

"Young people are under a lot of pressure. Their wages are not high, and they still have to save money to buy a house and a car. I am just a working person who only dares to come to the vegetable market to buy vegetables every day."

"Besides, these vegetables will look worse after we buy them and leave them out. You're not thinking we'll only buy two, are you?"

"Make it cheaper, Auntie. Just think of it as bringing us some vegetables. Young people have it tough." Lu Cheng's words were very sweet.

"Okay, okay, three yuan for you! I usually sell these for four yuan and fifty cents each." The auntie shook the bag.

This price is about right. After all, the chilies look fresh. Lu Cheng started picking them out and told Mu Nanshu, "For these long chilies, choose the ones that are darker in color and harder. They will have a stronger chili flavor and be more fragrant."

"Boss, how much are the loofahs?"

"Six pieces of loofah..."

Lu Cheng was startled: "Auntie, are you taking me for a first-time grocery shopping customer today?"

"Just tell me the selling price, I won't haggle with you any further."

The aunt said, "Four yuan. The wholesale price is already three yuan and seventy-five cents. Young man, you really know how to be meticulous."

Loofahs are cheaper in June and July, but the price goes up considerably in September, so Lu Cheng only bought two...
