Chapter 57 third quarter

Before the fall semester of the Georgetown University School of Medicine, Dr. Pitt and Dr. Brown resigned from their original positions.Although the old dean Morton was a little surprised by this, he still nodded and accepted their resignation with a smile.When he learned that they were both going to serve as the deputy director of the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine founded by Mrs. Nellie, he couldn't help but knit his brows together, and asked cautiously, "Are you sure?" Brown smiled and replied: "After you read "I'm an Imperial Physician in China", you will have the answer." His book has been published, and he gave a copy to the old dean before that.

"Okay, okay. I wish you success." Dean Morton's eyes darkened, but the smile on his face was still strong. They said good-bye, and Piet felt that the old Dean's hand was still strong when he said goodbye. On the high slope near Georgetown University at the southern end of Pennsylvania Avenue, an old red building has been repainted. This is the location of the newly registered Rockefeller Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.There is no yard surrounded by iron fences in front of the gate, only a low hedge made of boxwood and a huge lawn.What interested Cheng Shaozhong was that standing in front of the door, he could see the Lincoln Memorial and the Arlington Memorial Bridge on the Potomac River in the distance, as well as the silhouettes of the dense American pine around them in the sunset.

Mrs. Nellie has basically recovered. She no longer relies on crutches to walk, but she is still a little weak, but this does not affect her enthusiasm for the work of the institute.She asked her daughter Helen and the nurse Taylor to participate in the work of the institute, as assistants to Cheng Shaozhong, specializing in the study of traditional Chinese medicine diet and guided massage. Sophia, Mary, and Liu Chang all participated in the work of the institute as part-time workers.Sophia and Mary are both students of this major, and naturally they still work as professional assistants for Brown, Pete and Cheng Shaozhong. Liu Chang is a law student, so he can only do some chores.But she is very happy to get this relatively regular job, and she also hopes that Cheng Shaozhong's career can win Chinese doctors the international honor they deserve.

Cheng Shaozhong completed the registration procedures for studying at the Georgetown University School of Medicine, and only waited for the registration to start.Now, his English has passed the test, and he has no problem reading English books on weekdays, so he asked Sophia and the others for the previous year's textbook in advance, and found that the content was very poor. With enough energy to study, he made up his mind to focus on the research institute, and confirmed the research topics with Brown and Pete respectively.The topic chosen by Brown is the active ingredient and pharmacological research of Desmodium syringae, and the topic chosen by Pete is the active ingredient and pharmacological research of the traditional Chinese medicine Ephedra.At the same time, he dictated Helen to sort out "Chinese Medicine Diet", and he dictated that Taylor sorted out "Sixty Methods of Guidance in Traditional Chinese Medicine" (Cheng Shaozhong added the twenty-four guides and thirty-six references together).In addition, according to Mrs. Nelly's suggestion, Cheng Shaozhong instructed Dr. Martin to translate the famous Chinese medicine theory "Ziwu Liuzhu".In this way, Cheng Shaozhong's daily time allocation is very tense, but he doesn't feel much pressure.As an international student, he feels very lucky to be able to take care of so many careers simultaneously while studying abroad. He is also able to pass on the knowledge achievements and ethnic medicine essence passed down to him by his fathers, and this brand-new medical science has been scientifically confirmed in advanced instrument testing. Inspired by his career, he radiated great enthusiasm for creation.On the other hand, the fact that he met Mrs. Nellie by chance and received her strong support made him more convinced that treating people with sincerity will be rewarded with good things, and he was more willing to devote himself to this new life and life a hundred times more sincerely. It doesn't matter if you are tired in your career.

However, what Cheng Shaozhong needs to face is not only the above-mentioned content, but also the inseparable Sophia, his lover who must have enough time to love. In Sophia's life dictionary, there is no such word as "ambiguous".Her logic is also her style, which is very simple and clear: love requires passion and burning, so it must be vigorous.On the contrary, don't be soft, don't force, so there is no need to dodge.This puts forward a high standard and strict requirements for Cheng Shaozhong: You can't cut corners when dealing with love.Of course, on the other hand, Sophia is also admired by Cheng Shaozhong—no matter how close he is with Helen, Taylor, and even Mary, and Liu Chang, she doesn't care if he acts alone, because there is an important word in her life dictionary: "Friends of the opposite sex".In other words, the prejudice that there is only love and no friendship between Eastern men and women is cast aside by her.It would be absurd not to admit that friends of the opposite sex are essential to her life.Therefore, she left Cheng Shaozhong enough space and time to make friends with other opposite sexes, and as long as she is Cheng Shaozhong's friend, she is also her friend naturally. In her eyes, there are almost no people who are regarded as rivals in love. .Unless it is proven that the other party has indeed stolen her love.All of this makes Cheng Shaozhong have to consciously strengthen the degree of love devotion with Sophia, and always overcome all wretchedness and dishonesty.At first he was not used to this kind of sentiment that was too crystalline, and he always wanted to emphasize the difference between the sun and the moon.But Sophia doesn't cooperate at all, she never hides her love, whether Cheng Shaozhong is embarrassed or not, this makes Cheng Shaozhong feel ashamed that she lacks the openness that a man should have, and as time goes by, he is also trained to be more open-minded.But due to differences in personality genes, he and Sophia still have two styles, one yin and one yang.

"Let's get married, Cheng." After reading Cheng Hanru's letter to Brown, Sophia said with a smile, "Your family already thinks so, isn't it good?" "Wait a little longer, Sophia." Cheng Shaozhong said, "I have already put forward the idea of ​​marrying you in my reply letter, and I think my family will support it." "If your family doesn't support you, won't you marry me?" "No, don't get me wrong, I just don't think it's the right time yet." "What is timing? I don't want timing, I just want to get married."

"Sophia, you have to understand me. We don't have a wedding now, isn't it the same as getting married?" "It's different. I always want you to hold me until dawn every time, but now I can't." "Sophia, this day will not be too far away, please trust me." "Then you can kiss me again in front of everyone, this is a condition, no bargaining is allowed." ...
