"Mom, are you okay?"
Cheng Li and Cheng Liguo were standing inside the gate. Not seeing Hu Laita, they hurried over, looking around nervously.
"There is no danger for now. Let's go and have dinner together. Thank you, big brother. Let's go together."
Li Bing shook his head and led his men back. He was increasingly confused about Cheng Qiao. He took two steps and then remembered something:
"Sister-in-law, I just asked, and there is indeed such a school, but... let the little troublemaker take you to the school to register tomorrow morning."
Cheng Qiao nodded, but she knew in her heart that there was no such thing as a traditional Chinese medicine university. Even if there was one, it had only just been established and might not even have decent teachers.
Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, the little troublemaker was standing at the door of the guesthouse, chatting with the waiter with a smile on his face. When he saw Cheng Qiao coming out, he hurried to greet her.
"Second sister-in-law."
Cheng Qiao was stunned for a moment. She thought it was National Day who came because that was how National Day called her.
"Little troublemaker, I heard that you asked Guoqing to take a letter to Chen Xiaoniu."
The little troublemaker's face flushed, but disappointment was revealed in his eyes. Cheng Qiao shook his head slightly. If he wanted to pursue a girl, he had to win her over in one go.
I wrote a letter, but when I couldn't get a reply, I didn't even bother to write another letter to ask. I'm so silly that it's cute. I just don't know whether I should remind him.
After breakfast, the little troublemaker took Cheng Qiao to school:
"Little troublemaker, don't you need to drive?"
"Why drive? It's in a school behind our garrison. It's just that there haven't been students for a long time, so the school has slowly become deserted."
Cheng Qiao followed the little troublemaker along the garrison's wall for about half an hour, and indeed, they saw a somewhat dilapidated building.
The houses were low, with missing doors and windows. Not to mention desks and chairs, some places even had no roofs. The wood must have been taken away and used as firewood.
"Little troublemaker, you are really not wrong."
"Look for yourself at the house number outside and the name of the school."
Cheng Qiao ran out suspiciously. She didn't see the school plaque. But when the little troublemaker pointed to an inconspicuous place at the school gate where there was a small square wooden sign, she was speechless.
"This is too... stingy."
"Sister-in-law, I suspect they are after the money in your pocket. If they want to build a school, that will cost money. Even if we empty our family's coffers, it won't be enough."
A light flashed through Cheng Qiao's mind, and she seemed to understand something. They asked Li Huan to develop the city in his hometown, so did they want her to develop the city here
"Do you know where Principal Shen is? I saw on the transfer form that it says to find Principal Shen."
The little troublemaker shook his head. He was just a soldier and how could he know Principal Shen
Cheng Qiao asked the little troublemaker to go back first as she wanted to take a good look around here. The little troublemaker nodded. Cheng Qiao suddenly called him and asked him to continue writing to Chen Xiaoniu.
As he continued writing letters, the little troublemaker felt a little worried that none of the letters he wrote had received any response. Perhaps the girl was frightened by his handwriting.
"Sister-in-law, can you tell me how to write well?"
"Go to Xinhua Bookstore and buy some calligraphy copybooks. First trace them, then copy them, and finally practice diligently."
“It’s that simple.”
"Simple… "
Cheng Qiao didn't understand the simple meaning of the little troublemaker's words. She just thought that the child was very cute. However, she had forgotten that she was only a few years older than the little troublemaker.
Cheng Qiao walked slowly in this so-called school. The place was quite big, at least there was a playground. Unfortunately, the playground was full of rubble, with only a few weeds at the base of the wall swaying tenaciously in the wind.
"Let's slowly turn these areas into lawns first. When we have time, we can go to Qilian Mountain to transplant some trees back. We can also hire people to renovate a few classrooms and teachers' offices first, and we can do the rest later."
Cheng Qiao said to herself that she was no longer worried about the leakage of the space, as she had already taken the clear path and there was no need to hide it anymore.
Spatial water suddenly flowed out from her hands and sprayed on the roots of the weeds. She believed that in a few days a large area of weeds would thrive here.
I walked to the school gate and took the small school plaque in my hand. On the plaque were simply engraved eight words: "Liangzhou Branch of Chinese Medical University" and nothing else.
Liangzhou. Cheng Qiao then remembered that Wuwei seemed to be called Liangzhou in ancient times. He just didn't understand why it didn't directly say Wuwei but Liangzhou instead.
"Are you Cheng Qiao?"
A slightly deep male baritone voice sounded. Cheng Qiao looked up and asked tentatively, "Principal Shen..."
Shen Sanleng nodded, stretched out his hand and introduced himself:
"I'm Shen Sanleng, the president of the Liangzhou branch of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I'm just not good at teaching, so please bear with me."
"I understand. Otherwise, you wouldn't be called Sanleng. This is the name of a traditional Chinese medicine."
Shen Sanleng smiled. The Shen family had lived together for four generations and was a family of traditional Chinese medicine. However, over the past ten years, some had left and some had dispersed. Only two people, a grandfather and a grandson, were left in the huge Shen family, who left their hometown and came here.
"At present, there are only you and me in this school, as well as my granddaughter. She is affiliated with the cultural troupe and provides medical services specifically for them."
"grandfather… "
A young girl in her twenties ran over. There were new members joining the art troupe today, and she just came to report and was about to leave.
"Shen Ying."
When Cheng Qiao saw the person coming, he couldn't help but recall the two female doctors who appeared beside him when he helped Liu Meili to prank someone. One of them was Shen Ying.
"Cheng Qiao"
Shen Ying still remembers how Liu Wenjuan was inexplicably disfigured, and she secretly took the scraps of flesh from Liu Wenjuan's face for research.
But no matter what she did, she couldn't figure out what was contained in that small piece of meat. She also asked her grandfather for help, but her grandfather just took a look and told her not to study it anymore.
"Do you know each other?"
“I don’t know him.”
The two answered in unison, and then looked at each other and smiled foolishly. The fact that they could call out each other's names even though they didn't know each other was enough to prove that neither of them remembered the other.
"Grandpa, she is Jiang Meili's... um, sister-in-law."
Shen Sanleng nodded. Of course he knew who Cheng Qiao was, but he didn't expect that his granddaughter actually knew her. This made it easy. He didn't need to teach Cheng Qiao anymore. He could just let Cheng Qiao ask his granddaughter if she didn't understand.
Cheng Qiao didn't know that Shen Sanleng wanted to pass on the blame. She looked at the principal expectantly and asked him how classes should be run in this school.
Shen Sanleng shook his head. After he was freed, his salary and other things increased rapidly, but this money was a drop in the bucket for renovating a school.
Besides, Shen Ying is not young anymore and still hasn't married. He doesn't want the Shen family to be cut off. At least someone must pass on the Shen family's traditional Chinese medicine.
"Principal Shen, besides the two of us, are there other students who have signed up?"
Shen Ying looked at Cheng Qiao with a speechless look, "If you hadn't come, there wouldn't be this branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine University."
