My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 851 - 340: Unease, Shielding My Parents from the Sto

Zhou Can listened to his mom’s words and had a vague feeling that sothing was off.

Usually, when his mom called, she would ramble on endlessly, but today it felt strangely different.

"Mom, it’s almost New Year, I should be able to get a few days off and bring Qianqian to visit you and Dad," Zhou Can cautiously suggested.

His mom had been urging him to bring his girlfriend ho for the holidays. Zhou Can was now rotating through the Endocrinology Departnt, so he should be able to take a few days off.

"Um... your dad and I have been really busy lately, we probably can’t make ti during the New Year. Maybe wait until we’re not so busy, then bring Miss Qianqian over!"

She still hadn’t learned how to lie in front of her son.

The excuse she used was too perfunctory; with Zhou Can’s smarts, he could instantly tell that sothing had happened at ho.

What could possibly happen to a food processing factory running smoothly?

In the past couple of years, his mom often bragged to him about expanding their business overseas.

Logically, the business should be growing.

"Mom, is sothing wrong at ho?"

"Nonsense! Your dad and I are busy at the factory every day. What could possibly go wrong at ho?"

His mom scolded him, feigning calm.

"Oh, as long as everything is fine. I’ll bring your future daughter-in-law ho in a few days. It doesn’t matter if you and Dad are busy then, we can help out at the factory!"

Zhou Can intentionally probed again.

"The factory is so dirty, don’t scare the girl away. If you’re coming ho, rember to call in advance so I can pick you up."

His mom didn’t refuse his return this ti.

However, Zhou Can could sense the strain in her tone.

"Mom, I’m at work now, so I won’t talk much. Take care of yourself and Dad, and I’ll visit when I have ti."

"Alright!"

His mom hung up the phone.

Zhou Can checked his records and realized it had been over three months since he last contacted his family. He suddenly felt guilty towards his parents. Usually, it was his mom who initiated contact, while he rarely reached out to them.

He seed to have grown accustod to their concern and the allowance they provided.

Only now did he realize how little attention he actually gave to his parents.

Family affection, like love, should never be one-sided; it should be mutual.

Zhou Can was almost certain that sothing must have happened at ho.

If his mom wouldn’t tell him, there were other ways to find out.

Zhou Can directly called his old friend Cheng Dazhuang.

"Ah Can, it’s not easy to get a call from you! I was beginning to think you’ve made it big and forgotten about , your dear old buddy!"

As soon as the call connected, Cheng Dazhuang started to complain to him.

"Haha, how could that be! Am I that kind of person?" Zhou Can was truly not soone who looked down on others.

Neither did he disdain Cheng Dazhuang for his lack of success.

"Dazhuang, I need to ask you sothing!"

"Go ahead! As long as I know the answer, even if you ask what color my underwear is, I’ll tell you."

Cheng Dazhuang was still as humorous as ever.

"Doctor Cheng Dazhuang, please mind your image, or your patients or their family mbers might complain," Zhou Can mockingly warned him. They’ve always bantered like this since they were kids, growing up together.

"Do you think our county People’s Hospital is as bustling as your Tuya Hospital? We barely see a few patients a day, and the departnt I’m in is even more of a niche. I’m yawning away in the office every day."

Cheng Dazhuang said this while actually yawning.

Zhou Can frowned, imagining what kind of work state Cheng Dazhuang might be in.

He couldn’t help but think of kids who didn’t make it to high school and were in vocational schools, studying lackadaisically. And those who did get into high school, working tirelessly day and night to excel in exams.

While Cheng Dazhuang was dozing in the office every day, Zhou Can often practiced dical techniques or read until one or two in the morning.

During the day, Zhou Can was as busy as a spinning top.

The difference between them now was probably worlds apart.

With Zhou Can’s current abilities, he could probably outperform a typical chief physician back in his hotown’s county People’s Hospital.

"Dazhuang, your current state isn’t good. In your free ti, try reading dical books or studying cases. Over ti, you’ll beco much better than other doctors."

Zhou Can advised him not to waste his ti.

Once adults are over thirty-five, if they don’t have certain skills, it’s hard to make progress.

"What’s the point of learning? We barely have any patients, and they’re mostly common minor illnesses. Ah Can, just tell what you want to know instead!"

Cheng Dazhuang was unwilling to continue with the topic.

"I wanted to ask if you know if anything happened to my family?" Zhou Can sighed inwardly, realizing that one’s fate is in their own hands. If one doesn’t strive and improve, they can’t bla the harshness of society.

"I haven’t heard about anything happening to your family! Why?" Cheng Dazhuang asked in return.

"My mom just called, and it just felt off. Can you look into my family situation after work tonight? Don’t alert my parents, just tell what you find out."

Zhou Can entrusted this matter to his old friend, feeling completely at ease.

Although Cheng Dazhuang had many flaws, he was loyal and thoughtful in handling matters.

"Okay, I’ll head over later, but don’t worry too much! I bet it’s nothing; you’re probably just overthinking it."
