Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s

Chapter 32: 【32】Go to the Capital 2
 

“Fine, fine, fine, let Yingying go and study; I’ll just wait and see how your money gets wasted.” Xie Changrong waved his hand dismissively at his wife and daughter and walked away.

Since her cousin was no longer an issue, Sun Rongfang couldn’t be bothered to call Zhou Ruomei anymore.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ruomei had been waiting for her cousin to call as eagerly as a begging dog, for her advice, as usual. After a long wait with no call coming through, she found herself in the role of the begging dog. In a fit of rage, Zhou Ruomei pounded on the sofa in her home: Damn it, really damn it! It’s going to be the death of her!

At the end of August, as the summer gave way to early fall, a touch of coolness began to spread across the North.

Xie Wanying, who had never been to the Capital to study or work in her previous life, was unaware of this. However, she remembered her grandfather once saying that he had been to the North and knew that the Northern autumn was different from the South’s, where one goes from wearing summer shorts directly into winter quilts; there was a real autumn in the North.

For this reason, Xie Wanying brought cardigans for herself and her mother, which were more suitable for putting on and taking off on the road.

Before leaving, Sun Rongfang instructed her husband, “Keep an eye on your son to make sure he does his summer homework.”

“Isn’t that your job?” Xie Changrong retorted unhappily, angry that his wife and daughter still wouldn’t let him accompany them.

Sun Rongfang ignored him and went to take the bus with her daughter and their luggage.

On the bus, Sun Rongfang said to her daughter, “Your dad wants to see your university, thinking I don’t know. He just wants to have fun. If he finds excuses to reach out to you in the future, just ignore him.”

Xie Wanying smiled and nodded at her mother. Later, she reflected that her mother was actually like the mother in the movie ‘Hi, Mom’.

After spending the night on the bus, the mother and daughter raced to the train station. In the waiting hall, they didn’t dare to sleep, fearing they might miss their train—as the tickets were too precious, and once lost, there was no hope of buying them again.

“Train CT235 is entering the station.”

The announcement reverberated through the waiting hall, and the passengers got up and rushed to the ticket checkpoints to get in line. The long queues were overcrowded and the air was stuffy, making people feel increasingly uncomfortable.

Coughs began to echo around them.

Xie Wanying frowned.

Whether it was her slight experience in clinical medicine from her past life, or the seemingly activated medical skills from her rebirth, she felt a sense of unease.

“Mom, you stand here,” Xie Wanying told her mother to stand to the side of the queue where the air was a bit better, and she herself stood in the line.

Sun Rongfang started fanning her neck with a newspaper she had picked up along the way.

Finally, after passing through the ticket barriers, the crowd raced to the platform, and from the train doors, they shoved their way onto the train, where passengers were densely packed, moving to and fro in the poorly ventilated carriages.

Xie Wanying made her mother sit by the window and placed their suitcase on the overhead rack.

Of course, the suitcase was quite heavy. Normally, women don’t have the strength to lift suitcases onto the train’s racks, which is why one often sees men carrying luggage in the carriages.

Just as Sun Rongfang was about to stand up to help her daughter, to her surprise, with a single motion, her daughter placed the heavy suitcase securely on the rack.

A man standing nearby, who clearly had been planning to offer help in order to secure a spot for his luggage if Xie Wanying couldn’t manage, was instantly taken aback.

At that moment, a man who had gone through the train corridor to the dining car to fill his thermos with hot water and had returned saw this unfold and couldn’t help but glance at Xie Wanying’s face: This young lady was clearly out of the ordinary.
