Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 444 Consultation
The person recommended by Aunt Huo is quite good. She is an aunt in her early forties, surnamed Chu. She is very clean, honest, and efficient. Most importantly, her ancestors were imperial chefs, so she can cook excellent dishes.

Shen Xiuqin made a special inquiry and found that this person's character was indeed very good.

It's quite a coincidence that this aunt used to work at Yue's house. I don't know if it was because of a clash of personalities, but she was never liked by Jiang Yulan, so Jiang Yulan found a reason to fire her.

As a result, not long after she was dismissed, Jiang Yulan was stabbed to death by her sister-in-law.

Aunt Chu found a job washing clothes for students at Yenching University, which was hard work and paid little.

When she came to Xu Qinghuan's place, Xu Qinghuan paid her a monthly salary of 35 yuan, which was much higher than the salary of a typical worker. Moreover, the place provided three meals a day and two days off per month.

Aunt Chu is full of energy every day.

When Xu Qinghuan woke up in the morning, breakfast was laid out on the table: silver thread rolls, fragrant millet porridge, two small bowls of wontons, two dishes of pickles, and gold and silver steamed buns, each just the right size to fit in a single bite, very delicate.

Xu Qinghuan felt that after living here for three or four years, things were finally starting to look up.

Seeing her contented expression, Jiang Xingye knew she was very satisfied with the breakfast, and he felt a greater liking for the new aunt.

The children were still asleep, so the two of them hurried out early.

Jiang Xingye took her to school on his bicycle and asked, seemingly casually, "What did you used to eat for breakfast?"

Xu Qinghuan didn't seem to care. "There are plenty of breakfast options, just a bite or two of each, both Chinese and Western. Why are you asking?"

Jiang Xingye maintained his casual conversational demeanor, saying, "I just saw the breakfast Aunt Chu made today, and I never expected that breakfast could be so lavish."

Xu Qinghuan laughed and said, "Living conditions are generally not very good now, so our family is only able to come up with so many fancy things because we have the means. Look at other brigades in the past, they couldn't even get enough to eat, so how could they pursue a quality of life? Things will only get better in the future."

Xu Qinghuan went to the teacher's office to ask for leave first. She figured that half a day in the morning should be enough for this meeting, so she only asked for leave from two professional teachers for half a day in the morning.

It went quite smoothly.

When she arrived at Shen Jiangli's office, it was exactly 10:00 a.m. The office door was closed, but she could hear voices coming from inside. The secretary told her to wait aside.

After a while, an old professor came out angrily. Just as he reached the door, he suddenly staggered and fell to the ground.

Xu Qinghuan tried to grab it, but missed. The old professor's head hit the floor with a dull thud. Shen Jiangli and his secretary rushed out and were terrified.

After taking the old professor's pulse, Xu Qinghuan put a nitroglycerin pill into his mouth.

The secretary hurriedly said, "What are you doing? How can you just give medicine to someone like that?"

He remembered Xu Qinghuan saying that she was a freshman who had just enrolled in school and had managed to make Director Cen suffer some serious injury, and that the dean had been angered to death by her.

Xu Qinghuan ignored him, but the secretary was frantic and stepped forward to pry the pill out of Cen Zhongshu's mouth.

Shen Jiangli stopped him and asked, "How is Professor Cen?"

"I've had heart disease for many years. I was too excited just now, which put too much strain on my heart and caused insufficient blood supply. At the same time, I also experienced some blockages in the surrounding tissues..."

"Then get him to the hospital immediately!" the secretary urged.

Basically, for older people, a heart attack only lasts three to five minutes.

Xu Qinghuan ignored him, "It's almost done now."

As they were talking, Cen Zhongshu came back to life.

He felt a headache coming on, and when he touched it, good heavens, there was a huge bump. He got up from the ground, touched his heart, and seemed fine. He must have been knocked unconscious. He was furious, "You...you...you didn't listen to me, why did you hit me?"

Shen Jiangli was baffled. "How come I hit you? You had a heart attack and collapsed. I'm telling you not to get agitated. Your life is the most important thing. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"How can I not be anxious? What kind of grades do you have? You're just graduating and getting a diploma? You'll be taking lives instead of saving them! I don't care, I won't sign this graduation application."

"Okay, we'll discuss this later. You should thank him quickly. Xu saved your life; otherwise, I would have taken your life today too."

Cen Zhongshu touched his heart again, feeling nothing at all. "I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with my heart!"

"Pull him down!"

Xu Qinghuan handed a small bottle of nitroglycerin pills to Cen Zhongshu. "Professor Cen, I am Xu Qinghuan, a freshman this year. These are nitroglycerin pills that I prepared myself. You have had this ailment for many years. I just took your pulse, and the blockage near your heart is quite serious."

This pill can cure your chronic ailment; one course of treatment should be enough to fully recover.

Cen Zhongshu opened the medicine bottle; there were only four pills inside. Combined with the one he had just taken, it was indeed a course of treatment.

He didn't believe the pill was so powerful, but after smelling it, his chest felt very comfortable, and his mood became somewhat complicated. He poured out one pill, examined it in his palm for a while, and then carefully poured it into the bottle. After putting it in his pocket, he patted it.

"You composed it yourself, what's the logic behind that?"

Xu Qinghuan explained the pairing of ruler and subject, and Cen Zhongshu pointed at him and said to Shen Jiangli, "Didn't you insist that I take on a student? Fine, I agree. It's her. Give her to me!"

Shen Jiangli was both amused and exasperated. "I asked you to take on a student from among the current students."

“An older student? Sure, you pick one who can surpass her. You don’t need to say anything, I’ll go and beg him to be my student.”

Shen Jiangli really didn't want to argue with this old man, and said speechlessly, "Where am I supposed to find someone with such high talent to be your student? If you want to take her as a student, you have to take one of the senior students under your wing."

"Dream on!" Cen Zhongshu clutched his heart. "Don't make me angry. If you make me angry again, I'll kill myself."

Xu Qinghuan smiled and helped him up, "Teacher, please calm down. Don't scare the dean. After taking this pill, you won't be upset for a while."

"You go first, I have something to do, I can't chat with you anymore." Shen Jiangli still asked his secretary to take Cen Zhongshu to the hospital for a check-up first, while he took Xu Qinghuan to the Army General Hospital for a meeting.

The consultation room was packed with people, and the patients' test reports were all on the table.

Xu Qinghuan saw several familiar faces. Shao Lizhong and Xu Guangshu were there, as was Wu Banghui. Everyone in the conference room was surprised to see Xu Qinghuan.

"Xu, the educated youth, is here too?" Shao Lizhong asked.

Shen Jiangli said proudly, "Now we shouldn't call her Xu Zhiqing anymore, we should call her Xu Tongxue. She is the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Heilongjiang Province this year. Our school was fortunate enough to be selected by her, and she is now a freshman in clinical medicine."

"Impressive!" Wu Banghui said sincerely. "Heroes have always emerged from among the young. I never expected that Xu's academic performance would be so outstanding as well."

“Three hundred and ninety-seven points, close to a perfect score,” Shen Jiangli said.

As everyone knows, getting a perfect score on the college entrance exam is unrealistic, especially for humanities subjects.

A gasp of surprise rippled through the conference room.

Xu Qinghuan smiled and said, "These are all past achievements. Everyone is quite busy. Why don't we talk about the surgery first?"
