Chapter 416 Hou Family
Immediately afterwards, Xu Sui called each of the doctors' phone numbers she had found out to inquire about the situation.
Most of the calls went through, but a few didn't have contact information and only had an address.
After the call, the doctors learned that she was seeking medical help and had been recommended by someone she knew.
The doctors didn't hang up immediately; they patiently listened to Mrs. Xu's condition.
Unfortunately, after listening to their explanations, none of them were confident that they could cure the old lady.
Even if they did, they all work in big cities like Beijing or Shanghai, and it's impossible for them to travel all that way to treat a complete stranger.
Given Mrs. Xu's current health condition and the inconvenience of transportation, it would be even more impossible for Xu Sui to easily send someone to such a far place.
In short, after making inquiries, the results were not optimistic.
I made so many phone calls today, and the phone bill alone cost me a lot.
The post office staff whispered amongst themselves, secretly glancing at Xu Sui.
This was the first time they had encountered such a situation. When others made phone calls, they were afraid of the phone bill being too high, so they would keep it short and say only a few words before hanging up.
Who else would hold onto the phone like this, making call after call? It's been almost an hour or two already.
Wow, they're really rich.
Xu Sui noticed the stares from those around her, but she didn't take it to heart or get discouraged. Instead, she called the military medical university using the contact information Wang Yinhua had given her.
On the other side, the anatomy building of the military medical university.
Xu Fei, who had just finished an anatomy class, came out of the anatomy room and was about to go to the cafeteria for lunch.
The university he's attending now provides free meals, and the clothes he wears every day—military uniforms and white coats—are also free, provided by the military.
Even his underwear, socks, and shoes were all provided by the military.
As long as you get into this university, you don't have to worry about anything. You also get a subsidy of 20 yuan every month, which goes directly to you. It's like going to university is similar to working a job, where you get a salary every month.
A monthly salary of 20 yuan is comparable to that of some ordinary workers in your time.
"Hey, Xu Fei, someone's calling you. It's a young woman with a really nice voice. Could she be your girlfriend?"
"You're something else, you even have a girlfriend while the rest of us are still single. No wonder the beauty queen from the nursing department next door has a crush on you, but you're ignoring her. It turns out you already have someone else."
Xu Fei, who had just finished class after a long day of work, was puzzled by what he heard and frowned.
"What boyfriend? Don't talk nonsense."
"Who's looking for me? It's not my mom, is it?"
Since starting university, the only woman who calls him every month is his mother.
Don't let his mother's age fool you; she's over 50, but she looks no different from someone in their 30s or 40s. In fact, she looks younger and prettier than many people in their 30s or 40s, and her voice is lovely too.
When his mother called before, she was often mistaken for his sister or his girlfriend.
"No, no, we're already familiar with your mother's voice. It's definitely not your mother. Confess honestly, do you have someone else outside? They keep calling you 'Xiao Fei' so affectionately."
"We don't believe it if this has nothing to do with you."
Xu Fei was known for his good looks at their military medical university. When he first enrolled, he attracted the attention of many female students.
Especially Hou Yuzhu, the most beautiful girl in the nursing department next door. Not only is she good-looking, but her parents are both in the military and her family background is truly impeccable.
In addition, she herself is hardworking and outstanding, and has many suitors from similar family backgrounds in university.
Hou Yuzhu looked down on everyone else, but she took a fancy to Xu Fei, who only had eyes for studying.
Every day, whenever he didn't have class, he would come to see Xu Fei, bringing her food or other things.
Xu Fei is a simple-minded person. I don't know if he looks down on others or what, or if he just hasn't figured things out yet.
When faced with a woman's advances, he actually found her annoying and tried to avoid her every day.
If Hou Yuzhu knew that Xu Fei had a girlfriend, she would probably give up, and then these people would have a chance.
Xu Fei pushed away the classmate who was crowding around her. "Alright, alright, I'll go check. Don't talk nonsense. I don't have a boyfriend, and I don't plan to date."
"They're cracking down really hard on personal conduct these days, so don't cause me any trouble."
He was planning to study hard, graduate as soon as possible, and get a job in the military unit where his sister and brother-in-law were.
If you were to ask him who he admires most, it would definitely be his brother-in-law Qin Yunzhou, and of course, his sister.
He hadn't seen them for so many years, and he missed them quite a bit.
Xu Fei had just answered the phone when someone reported him to Hou Yuzhu.
"Oh no, oh no, Yuzhu, Xu Fei has a girlfriend! She called him! Do you want to go listen in?"
Hou Yuzhu, who had just finished class and was about to go find Xu Fei to give him the braised pig's trotters sent by his family, suddenly had tears in her eyes when she heard this.
"What? He has a girlfriend? Didn't you say he was single? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"No, no, there's definitely no mistake. With Xu Fei's studious nature, besides his mother calling him every month, what other woman would call him?"
"Suddenly a young woman appeared; she must be his girlfriend, or at least they have a close relationship."
Hou Yuzhu's eyes were red, her nose tingled, and she could no longer hold back her tears as she squatted down and cried.
"Xiaoyu, please help me find out who that woman is. I want to see what kind of woman Xu Fei likes."
From childhood to adulthood, she has never failed to get what she wanted, and people are no exception.
"Alright, alright, I'll go find out for you."
……
Xu Fei rushed to the phone. He hadn't taken the call seriously at first, thinking someone had made a mistake.
The next second, a familiar voice came from the phone.
His eyes suddenly lit up, but then he coughed lightly a few times, forcibly suppressing the upturn of his lips and trying to keep his tone calm.
"Sis, is that you? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"
"Where's my brother-in-law, and Yan Yan and Yao Yao? Are they all with you?"
His sister usually talks to his mother on the phone, and he can only eavesdrop. He can only say a word to his sister after they have finished talking.
Xu Fei hadn't forgotten that even though he'd been in university for over a year, this was the first time his sister, Xu Sui, had taken the initiative to call him.
This is truly rare.
