Rebooting 60, let's go on a rampage with the orange cat!

The early winter sun still carried a chill. Shi Huai'an, dressed in a white coat, followed Professor Han Mingxuan as they made their rounds through the wards.

They carefully inquired about the patient's condition and meticulously recorded every detail.

After a busy period, the three returned to their department.

Just then, Huai'an inadvertently caught a glimpse of Gu Jingnian slowly pushing his father, who was sitting in a wheelchair, toward them.

Mr. Gu was in good spirits and told Huai'an about his recovery progress over the past period. He felt that his legs were getting stronger and he had the urge to stand up, but when he tried, he felt a little weak.

Huai'an told him not to rush and carefully examined him.

Han Mingxuan stood aside, looking at the scene before him, and couldn't help but feel an urge to try acupuncture treatment.

Huai'an took in his eager look and said softly, "Don't rush, let me tell you about the key points such as how to select acupoints, the depth of needle insertion, and the amount of force to apply."

Next, Huai'an explained the location and function of each acupoint to Han Mingxuan in detail, and demonstrated it to him through actual operation.

After everything was explained and it was confirmed that Han Mingxuan had grasped the basics, Huai'an nodded with relief, indicating that he could begin administering the acupuncture.

Han Mingxuan took a deep breath and carefully inserted the silver needles into the corresponding acupoints on Gu's father's body. He knew that these were the Thirteen Ghost Needles, which were not usually taught to ordinary people.

Seeing this, Gu Jingnian felt a little worried. He quietly pulled Huai'an aside and said in a low voice, "How could you let someone prick my father with needles so easily? Do you really think my father is a guinea pig for experiments?" His tone was tinged with dissatisfaction and doubt.

Shi Huai'an smiled and said, "Dr. Han Mingxuan is Professor Han's grandson. He was personally taught by the old man Han. He is very skilled in acupuncture. I only need to teach him how to change the needle position. Don't worry, I will also examine your father later. Wait a moment, I'll get you something good."

Then she went into the dressing room, and when no one was there, she took out several old books from her spatial storage, and after concealing sensitive information such as the publication year of the books, she gave them to Gu Jingnian.

Gu Jingnian was initially disappointed when he saw the books, but when he opened them and saw that they were: "The Complete Sherlock Holmes Cases", "Criminal Psychology", "New Methods Using DNA", "Crime Scene Investigation", "Fingerprint and Footprint Analysis", "Real Murder Investigations", etc., he was greatly surprised. Not only were these books unavailable on the market, but some of them he had never even heard of.

His eyes widened in surprise, and he eagerly asked, "Wow! This is amazing! Where did you get your hands on it?"

Shi Huai'an's lips curled up slightly, revealing a bright smile, and he said softly, "Hehe, I stumbled upon this treasure while browsing the flea market today. Knowing that you're a criminal investigation major, I figured it would be very useful, so I brought it back without hesitation!"

Gu Jingnian stretched out his hands and carefully stroked the book cover, as if he were holding a rare treasure. He chuckled and scratched his head, saying, "A flea market... What a coincidence! This book is truly a rare gem. How much did you pay for it? Tell me quickly, I need to give you the money."

Shi Huai'an waved his hand casually and replied nonchalantly, "Hey, let's not talk about money! The old man selling books only accepted some grain coupons and cloth coupons, he didn't spend much money. Anyway, as long as you can use it, we don't need to be so formal, don't be polite with me! But, I do have a small favor I'd like to ask you for."

At this point, she couldn't help but think to herself: Hopefully, this rookie in the criminal investigation team won't suspect anything; my lie was far too clumsy. If giving him these books gets me into trouble, wouldn't that be shooting myself in the foot? Sigh, it seems I really need to change this old habit of trying to help everyone I meet improve!

Without the slightest doubt, Gu Jingnian immediately patted his chest and assured him, laughing, "Haha, since that's the case, then I won't refuse anymore! Just leave your matter to me with confidence. As long as it's within my power, I will absolutely do my best!"

With a smile, Huai'an asked, "When I visited your house last time, I heard your mother say that she wanted to find a tutor for Jingyan. Is that really true?"

Jing Nian nodded and replied, "Yes, it should be true! Just yesterday, she told me that one of her colleagues' husbands is a middle school teacher, but it's inconvenient because his home is too far from here. My mom is hesitant about it now! By the way, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Do you want to be a tutor? If so, my mom would be overjoyed."

Huai'an quickly waved his hand and explained, "Oh, it wasn't me, it's a classmate of mine. Her family is a little short on money lately, so she's thinking of finding a tutoring job to supplement her living expenses. That's why I was asking around for her."

Huai An thought to himself, "I shouldn't tell him who this classmate is yet. After all, he's currently handling a poisoning case, and it wouldn't be good if he got a preconceived notion that Li Honglei likes to take advantage of others."

Huai'an thought for a moment and said, "How about this, we can let her try teaching for a month first and see how it goes. As for the specific fees, you two can discuss and decide on that yourselves."

Jingnian readily replied, "Okay, no problem! I'll ask my mom as soon as I get home, and then I'll call the hospital this afternoon to let you know the results. Will you be there by then?"

Huai'an smiled and replied, "Yes, yes, I'll be waiting for your good news."

Jing Nian patted his chest lightly and assured him, "You can rest assured, your business is my business!"

Upon hearing this, Huai'an smiled and nodded. Seeing that it was almost time, he quickly walked into the infirmary.

As soon as she entered, she saw that the acupuncture had been successfully completed.

So she went to Gu Xihua's side and asked her about the medicinal bath with concern and care.

Huai'an leaned down slightly, looking at Gu Xihua with a smile, and asked softly, "Uncle Gu, it's been almost a month since you started treatment. How are you feeling?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xihua's face immediately lit up with immense excitement. He gripped Huai'an's hand tightly, his voice trembling with excitement as he said, "Dr. Shi, thank you so much! After this period of treatment, I can actually feel my leg again! It's simply a miracle!"

Huai'an was also happy for him and continued, "It's really great to have achieved such initial results. However, we're about to move on to the second phase of treatment, and both the acupuncture and herbal bath prescriptions will be changed. So please be sure to persevere and don't give up halfway."

At this point, Huai An paused, his expression becoming serious. "There's another very important point. Although your leg condition has improved slightly, please don't rush to stand up and walk. This can't be rushed; you have to take it one step at a time. For now, you can try standing up for about fifteen minutes each day to strengthen your leg muscles. Remember, during this time, you can only stand in place and absolutely cannot move or walk around. Do it once in the morning and once in the afternoon."

Gu Xihua nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would fully cooperate with the treatment, saying repeatedly, "I will definitely do as you say, Dr. Shi, I will do whatever you tell me to do."

……

In the afternoon, Huai'an was sitting at his table, quietly flipping through a medical record. Suddenly, a crisp telephone ring broke the tranquility.

Nurse Li called out, "Shi Huai'an, the phone."

Huai'an rushed over to answer the phone, and Gu Jingnian's cheerful voice came from the other end: "Huai'an, my mom has agreed to let your classmate tutor Jingyan! She said to let him try it out for a semester first."

After hanging up the phone, Huai'an returned to school in a good mood after work and invited Li Honglei to go to Gu's house together.

As night falls and the lights come on, I step into that spacious courtyard.

From afar, one could see Gu Jingnian and several energetic young people playing basketball on the nearby court.

They were agile and nimble, and the basketball drew beautiful arcs in the air.

Gu Jingnian, with his sharp eyes, spotted Huai'an and Li Honglei walking slowly towards them.

He quickly passed the basketball to another young man and then strode towards them.

As he ran closer, his gaze first fell on Huai'an, and a warm smile appeared on his lips.

However, when his gaze turned to Li Honglei, he was momentarily stunned, but he quickly regained his composure, showing no sign of anything amiss on his face.

Li Honglei, on the other hand, seemed a little uneasy, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she said softly, "Comrade Gu, hello."

Hearing this, Gu Jingnian nodded slightly in response, then pulled Huai'an aside and asked in a low voice, "How could it be her?"

Huai'an said helplessly, "Her family is indeed struggling financially. Don't worry about it. It's okay if things really don't work out."

Gu Jingnian quickly laughed and said, "Okay, okay, my mom decides this. Anyway, it's not like I'm paying for it."

Then he said to Li Honglei, who was standing far away, "Don't be nervous later. My mom is very easy to talk to, and I've already spoken to my brother. Don't be afraid."

Li Honglei nodded gratefully.

Before they even stepped into the house, they could hear a roar coming from inside.

It turned out that Li Ying was scolding Jing Yan: "What's wrong with you? You only got 58 points on the chemistry exam! And you still have the nerve to ask me to sign it? What's going on in your head? Is it a pool of clear water or something?"

Faced with his mother's scolding, Jingyan did not back down and even retorted: "Say whatever you want, anyway, I'm your biological son. If I'm stupid, it must be because I inherited it from you and Dad."

Upon hearing this, Li Ying flew into a rage. Without saying a word, she grabbed Jing Yan's ear and pulled it up forcefully while shouting, "So you've grown wings now, haven't you? You even dare to talk back to your mother! You don't learn the good things, but you've picked up those bad habits without any instruction!"

Jingyan, who was being pulled by the ear, grimaced in pain and struggled, when he suddenly caught sight of Huai'an walking in.

So, as if grasping at a straw, he hurriedly begged Huai'an for help: "Oh my god, it hurts so much! Huai'an, you're here, please save me, at least give me some face!"

However, Li Ying didn't care about any of that at the moment. She still roared angrily, "Hmph! You still want to save face? You've completely disgraced our family!"

Just as the mother and son were at an impasse, Gu Xihua, sitting in a wheelchair, slowly moved over...

Grandpa Gu sat at the dining table, sipping his wine, and said with a smile, "This kid deserves a beating. Why is it so difficult for him to study?"

When Grandma saw Huai'an and the others come in, she quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, "Huai'an is here. Come in and eat with us. I'll go and get a few more dishes."

Huai'an smiled and said, "Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, I've already eaten. This is Li Honglei, the tutor we hired for Jingyan. She's my current college classmate."

Li Honglei stood timidly behind Huai'an, her eyes darting around as she secretly scanned her surroundings.

Inside, exquisite solid wood furniture, simple yet elegant, was displayed; the clock on the wall ticked away, as if telling the story of the years; melodious music came from the radio, captivating the listener; and a half-new sewing machine stood quietly in the corner, witnessing the passage of time.

The flowers, plants, and potted plants I saw in the courtyard, as well as the bicycles parked there, all of which, though different in style, all reflected the family's comfortable lifestyle and refined taste.

Compared to all of this, Li Honglei felt so out of place.

Her faded clothes, worn-out shoes, and somewhat shabby attire made her feel ashamed of herself.

She unconsciously shrank back, as if that would allow her to quietly hide her poverty.

However, despite her deep sense of inferiority, she mustered the courage to raise her head and look at everyone in the room with a humble and ingratiating gaze.

Then, with a shy smile on her face, trying to appear more elegant and well-mannered, she said softly, "Hello, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt."

Li Ying quickly put Jing Yan down and said, "Oh dear, you've already eaten. The teacher Li that Dr. Shi introduced is so young and beautiful. If you didn't know better, you'd think she was introducing Jing Nian to a girlfriend! I didn't expect she's from the same clan as me."

She chuckled, and Li Honglei blushed and lowered her head.

Gu Jingnian frowned and said, "Mom, don't talk nonsense. If this gets out, it will ruin Teacher Li's reputation."

Li Ying quickly said, "Teacher Li, I spoke without thinking, please don't take offense. My Jingyan is a bit naughty, haha, but he's actually very sensible. I'll have to trouble you to take care of Jingyan's studies from now on. Come, let's go to Jingyan's room."

She stepped forward and grabbed Li Honglei's hand, saying, "Come on," and then she yelled at Jing Yan, "Hurry up! You always dawdle when you do your homework. I really don't know who you took after."

Jing Yan hung his head and muttered, "Isn't it just like you guys..." before following him into the room.

Shi Huai'an then helped his uncle and several others adjust their diet.

After a while, Li Ying came out and discussed with Huai'an, "Teacher Li just looked at Jingyan's textbooks and homework and thought they were fine. She's already started tutoring him. Huai'an, I don't consider you an outsider, so I'll speak frankly. Since you're your college classmate, I've agreed to let her tutor Jingyan. How about this: she comes to our house twice a week every weekend to tutor him, and she brings dinner. The tutoring fee is ten yuan a month. Do you think that's okay?"
