NOVEL NEXT Chapter 324: Physical Examination
"Old Wang, I really didn't expect you to change so much now. In the past, you indulged your children as if they were your everything, and you listened to your wife as if her words were commands.
When you first started saying those things today, I thought you were still the same as before. Anyone could get your forgiveness simply by admitting their fault, and you'd immediately give up your own stance. I was truly surprised to hear what you said afterward.
It seems like time really can change a person."
Old Kang patted his old friend's shoulder with his big hand, regardless of whether Wang Jiaxiang could take it or not.
He was truly filled with emotion.
He genuinely didn't expect his old friend's personality to have changed so much now.
"You're right, time can change a person. I was gentle and forgiving before, not harboring any hostility toward anyone, even if someone insulted me or schemed against me. In the end, I'd forgive them and even consider their perspective. But over the years, I've experienced too much.
Being harmed by others too often, losing out too much, you naturally understand everything. I've been the good guy long enough; now I want to be myself, live more comfortably, more at ease, and no longer change myself for others or force myself to conform.
There aren't many good days left, let me follow my own heart this time."
Wang Jiaxiang rubbed his shoulder, and his words were irrefutable.
The students exchanged glances, all with joy in their eyes. They certainly knew how much suffering and hardship their teacher had endured all these years.
They were actually quite worried about the teacher earlier.
Those two children, it's hard to say who is good and who is bad, but now those two children are in the research institute.
They could be considered as delinquents; for their own benefit, they even resorted to abusing power, doing too many bad things for money.
Considered morally corrupt.
They suddenly showed up today, and several students were worried sick, afraid the teacher would forgive them easily; they could guess why.
The teacher's two children are likely after the teacher's reputation; having the teacher as the first person in the institute as their banner, they could make a lot of money and continue doing bad things.
It truly was unexpected that the teacher could change so much today.
"Teacher, we've already arranged a doctor for you. Tomorrow we'll take you for a complete health check-up. Your health must be taken care of; you've lost a lot of weight now. We know you like peace and quiet, you can rest assured, aside from an auntie we've arranged to cook three meals a day for you and clean,
absolutely no one will disturb you. You have dedicated guards at your door to ensure your safety, specially assigned by higher-ups. No idle people can bother you."
"Forget the health check; I want to go to the HR office tomorrow and handle my rehabilitation procedures, see what work they've arranged for me, and get back to work early. I want to return to work.
I don't want to continue resting like this, I feel I'm resting lazily, really afraid I'll become obsolete."
Wang Jiaxiang felt no issue with his health.
He himself found it strange.
Even just a few days ago, he felt small ailments keep coming and old problems were always reoccurring. After all these years, the suffering he endured in the countryside wasn't something an average person could withstand, leaving many ailments on his body.
First, he coughed up blood; come winter, the coughing was relentless, not to mention the rheumatic arthritis, coupled with various other ailments.
That day, when he came down from the mountain, he felt his arthritis had already flared up.
But who would have thought that as soon as he took the train back to Jingbei, he felt much lighter?
He himself found it strange.
He couldn't help but recall eating at Jiang Yue's home, and Jiang Xiaoxiao specially pouring medicinal wine for him.
It's said that this peach wine was their family's special secret recipe, specifically for treating certain ailments.
At the time, he didn't pay much attention, but the wine tasted good, so he drank a few more cups.
Now thinking about it, I wonder if it has any connection?
"Teacher, please don't make us worry; this health check is a must do. Tomorrow we'll send a special car to pick you up; if you don't go, we'll carry you there. Your health is our wealth."
All the students were very concerned.
Wang Jiaxiang could only nod, what else could he do?
The next day, early in the morning, a car promptly arrived to pick him up, sending him directly to the largest hospital in Jingbei.
When they arrived, all the leaders at the hospital entrance, including the hospital director, departmental heads, and various experts, personally came out to greet him.
You know, according to seniority, Wang Jiaxiang is a focal figure for the upper leadership; according to level, Mr. Wang is undoubtedly a veteran.
Many of the students are leaders at various institutes and universities, even leaders at the health bureau.
Among these people, none of them can even be considered disciples.
The appearance of the legendary national treasure-level expert, and didn't see who these accompanying people are?
The dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the director of the Health Department, the dean of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, accompanied by the heads of the three top hospitals.
Although they are also renowned experts at He Ren Hospital, can they compare?
Respectfully, they escorted Mr. Wang inside with specialized expert doctors accompanying him to start various check-ups.
Wang Jiaxiang felt it was a bit of an overreaction, although his ailments were constant.
But the major ailments should not be so severe, yet this coughing problem needs to be cured; he still wants to live a few more years.
At least to impart all his learned knowledge to the students, that's true skill.
He cannot just die like this.
Without leaving a trace of himself in this world, then it would be too unfair to him and also unfair to Jiang Xiaoxiao who helped him so much before.
From this girl, he saw courage in facing life bravely, seeking hope, and an optimistic outlook, seemingly unyielding to any difficulties.
This little girl is worth learning from, and no matter what happens, her initial intention remains unchanged.
In this regard, he is not as good as this child.
He heard that this child and her husband have been admitted to university now.
Although the admission letters haven't arrived, both kids are confident, and they are Jingbei natives.
If all goes well, they'll meet very soon, but doesn't know what this young lady is studying.
If it's military engineering, maybe he could pave the way for her.
This young lady is smart and eager to learn; she might be talented in this area, but no one can really predict what they as a couple will choose.
He just thinks, if he meets Jiang Xiaoxiao again here, what a surprised expression that would be!
Estimate that this little girl couldn't have expected him to return to Jingbei.
And he is exactly a Jingbei person.
Not saying anything, after the hospital's various check-ups, the experts studied all the films and reports for a long time.
Wang Jiaxiang glanced over, feeling the doctor's expression was profound and subtle; could it be that he has some serious disease?
But it's not surprising if he does; after all those years of torment, having ailments on the body is normal, during that era, who doesn't have some ailments?
The few students beside him had long been nervous.
"Old Huang, what's going on? Speak up."
Li Yaozong was anxiously restless over there.
Song Huilin hurriedly restrained him, giving his old classmate a signal, his teacher is still here, in case the teacher really has something going on.
Saying it in front of the teacher, wouldn't that be provoking the teacher!
As doctors, they must surely know this common sense, right?
Upon receiving this signal, Li Yaozong immediately realized he was too impatient and hadn't thought things through.
"Teacher, let's help you outside for a break, let you rest a bit outside."
