Chapter 406: Chapter 406
Zheng Kai was 19 this year, after three years in elementary school, four years in junior high, and three years in high school, his ten years of educational journey had shaped him into a stable and sensible child.
When he first arrived in Hei Province, his studies were quite unstable, but through years of effort, he had long since been transformed.
Knowing that only through education could he find his place in the future, he studied desperately.
If his father, who never attended high school, could make it to university through sheer effort, what excuse did he have to slack off?
Even if not for anyone else, for his father, who had remained unmarried for his sake to this day, he also wanted to make him proud.
It was only thanks to his father’s financial and emotional support that he could study without worries— a debt of gratitude he could never repay in a lifetime.
Although he felt confident about his exams, he dared not be certain about his results until they were released, so when facing Zheng Long’s reassurance, he gratefully acknowledged it.
While waiting for his results, Zheng Kai found part-time work tutoring students. While it didn’t pay much, it was compensation earned through his own labor, and he understood this was just the beginning. In the future, he intended to earn more money to repay his father’s kindness.
Zheng Long had yet to find the time to tell his son about the child, reasoning that next month he would find out anyway, and knowing sooner or later didn’t make a difference.
He named his daughter Zheng Xuan, and combined, the sibling’s names meant ’triumphant return,’ signifying that he would only fight winning battles in the future.
The time the child spent in the space dimension was tough because he had to periodically enter the space to check on the child, using going to the bathroom as an excuse so often that his comrades thought he had developed a urinary frequency and urged him to get it checked at the hospital!
Fortunately, during critical times like combined military exercises when he couldn’t leave, the child didn’t cause trouble. When she cried, he could only grit his teeth and bear it, letting her wail ceaselessly in the space, and perhaps sensing something, she eventually stopped crying when she realized no one was coming to feed her, and simply played around in her little car.
When he finally had time to feed her, the little one would excitedly kick her legs upon seeing him, looking irresistibly adorable. And it wasn’t hard to tell that her mother was a beautiful woman as the girl was born fair and pretty, especially those clear and sparkling eyes that were so lovely!
Such a treasure had come into his family; it was as if his grandfather’s spirit in heaven was watching over them!
In mid-July, good news arrived— Zheng Kai had been admitted to the Third Military Medical University of the People’s Liberation Army. Did that mean he would be a military doctor in the future?
The Third Military Medical University was in Chongqing, and since he was in the army, he opted for the Army Medical University.
"Weren’t you supposed to apply to the National Defense Science and Technology University? Why switch to medicine? With your high score of 698, you would definitely have gotten into the National Defense Science and Technology University."
"Dad, I want to be closer to you. After considering everything, I decided on the Third Military Medical University. Being a doctor is quite good, and not inferior to a future technician. Moreover, having a military doctor in our family could be more convenient." Follow current novels on novel※fire.net
Zheng Long felt a twinge in his nose, "You silly boy, Dad thanks you, and congratulations to you as well. Once all your procedures are finalized, I’ll give you a surprise."
"Dad, the admission notice will be sent to your military unit. I’ll wait for it there. I’ve already packed my things and will come to you soon. Is there anything you want me to bring?"
"No need, just make sure you’ve sorted everything and terminate the lease on the house, then come over quickly!"
