Jiang Yan's life in Beijing was very regular. She got up early to punch in at work every day, and waited in the small meeting room for the leader who needed a follow-up visit. When the leader was not available, she read books and used all her time to teach Si Lu English. When the leader was available, she would follow up with the leader, write prescriptions, and teach acupuncture.

I eat at the company at noon and get off work normally in the evening. I work overtime occasionally, but not too late.

Half a month passed like this, and finally all her work was finished.

She was originally going to leave the next day, but her eldest sister insisted on treating her and Si Lu to dinner.

"I know you're leaving, so I came over to tell you, Xiao Jiang, you and Xiao Si, you must clear your lunch time tomorrow. The boss and I are going to treat you to a meal."

Jiang Yan glanced at Si Lu and quickly declined, "No need, sister. You and your boss are busy, so we won't bother you."

"That won't do!" The elder sister smiled and said, "We agreed last time that I would treat you to a meal again if I have the chance. I can't break my promise. Besides, isn't your train in the evening? You can leave after lunch, so you'll have just enough time. It's rare that the leader is free, so don't refuse."

The elder sister had said so much, Jiang Yan couldn't open her mouth to refuse even if she wanted to.

"Then it's settled. Come to my house for lunch tomorrow. I'll ask Xiao Zhu to pick you up."

"Okay, goodbye, big sister."

Jiang Yan felt very complicated when she walked out of the unit.

Si Lu probably knew what she was thinking. She was in the same mood last time and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Jiang Yan recalled that in her previous life, when she had nothing to do and watched short videos, she would always see some film and television clips about her leaders and her elder sister.

They were still young at that time, and the incident should have happened in the 1960s.

The leader’s salary is always spent quickly, and he would then come to the eldest sister for money. The eldest sister would always prepare the money in advance and give it all to the leader.

The eldest sister said that her salary was not high to begin with, and it became even less after she was demoted by her boss.

The leader said, no way, it’s just a small matter, are you really taking it to heart?

The special actress who played the eldest sister performed particularly well. She always had a faint smile on her face and her words were as gentle as a spring breeze, making people feel very comfortable.

My elder sister said, "If I care about such a small thing, how many things should I remember about you? Don't tell me you will pay me back when you have money, because you have already paid me back."

When Jiang Yan thought of this, she felt her eyes sore.

People like the leader and the elder sister have devoted everything to this country and nation. What do they have for themselves? What is left?

They don't even have a child.

When Jiang Yan thought of this, the air pressure around him began to drop.

It was rush hour and the streets were crowded with people. Si Lu couldn't comfort her in a more intimate way, so he could only talk to her and help her relieve her stress.

"You should be happier. Think about it. Are the leaders' health getting better? This is something to be happy about. Yanyan, no one in this world can live forever. We can avoid some bad situations, but we must also learn to accept reality. No one can fight against the laws of nature, birth, aging, illness and death. Do you understand?"

How could Jiang Yan not understand this truth? She was just obsessed with it for a moment.

"I see."

"Okay, let's go home! Let's go buy a roast duck tomorrow and bring it over."

Jiang Yan thought of the scene in a TV show where the leader invited Chen Lao Z to dinner and brought back a roast duck specially for her elder sister.

She readily agreed, "Okay, take one."

The next morning, the two packed their things at home and went to buy roast duck together. When they arrived at the office with their lunch boxes, Zhu Chaisheng was already waiting at the door.

"Doctor Jiang, Deputy Director."

"Hello."

"Ah, my name is Zhu Chaisheng, you can just call me Xiao Zhu, or Zhu Zi. The leader and the elder sister asked me to pick you up."

"Thank you, sorry for the trouble."

Zhu Chaisheng said as he led the two of them towards Haitang Courtyard, "It's no trouble."

This is not the first time that Dr. Jiang has come, and it’s not like she can’t find the place, but the elder sister still insists on coming to pick her up herself. What does this mean?

This shows that the elder sister and the leader attach great importance to Dr. Jiang.

As soon as the couple entered the yard, they saw a surprise. After not having been there for a few days, all the crabapple flowers that were about to bloom on the branches had bloomed.

so beautiful.

Jiang Yan turned her head and glanced at Si Lu, her eyes full of joy. The last time she came here was in winter, and she felt sorry for not seeing the crabapple blossoms. She didn't expect that this time, she would have the opportunity to see the crabapple blossoms.

Fortunately, I promised my elder sister, otherwise I might have missed it.

"Xiao Jiang is here, Xiao Si, come in quickly."

At this time, the eldest sister and the leader stood at the door to greet the two of them.

Jiang Yan and Si Lu were both flattered.

"Sister, leader."

"You're welcome. Come in and sit down."

"Today's meals are all made by my eldest sister herself, you must try them carefully."

Jiang Yan quickly handed over the lunch box, "This is what we bought, add some extra dishes."

The eldest sister took it and looked at it, then laughed and said, "They actually bought roast duck. How can we invite guests to order more dishes when we treat them to a meal?"

"Don't stand, today is a family dinner. My elder sister and I are giving a farewell party for Dr. Jiang. Don't be restrained."

"Yes, sit down, sit down."

The family dinner at the leader's house was also very simple, with four dishes, two meat and two vegetarian, including peanuts that the leader liked, braised tofu with sauce, a fish, and braised pork with bean curd.

"Xiao Jiang has prepared a big dish for us. Let's eat, eat."

"It's such a nice day, we should drink a little, but Xiao Jiang has to take the bus back to school in the evening, so let's not drink!"

Everyone agreed to just eat and chat and not drink anymore.

After the meal, everyone was in a good mood.

This is a rare rest time for leaders.

After the meal, the eldest sister personally made tea for everyone and asked them to sit down and chat for a while to help digest the food.

"I heard from Director Zhang that when you are waiting for the leader, you like to read and study in the small meeting room?"

Si Lu was a little embarrassed. "I didn't go to college, and I don't know foreign languages. I want Dr. Jiang to teach me something."

Doctor Jiang...

Jiang Yan didn't know what picture he imagined through these three words, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Xiao Jiang is good at foreign languages?"

Jiang Yan nodded. "My grandfather went abroad in his early years, and my father is a university professor. My family has had many opportunities to come into contact with this knowledge since I was a child. I was exposed to it early, but I didn't deliberately learn it."

The leader was very interested in asking her what languages ​​she knew, but she couldn't say that she had big wheels and knew too many languages, so she only said three: English, Russian and the dwarf's Japanese.

"Xiao Si, you have such a good teacher, but you must learn well. We need to learn more so that we can broaden our horizons and go out into the world."

"Yes!"

"So what do you usually read? Medical books?"

Jiang Yan thought about it, stood up, opened her bag, took out the physics book, and handed it to her leader.
