Qiao Sanli spoke to Zhou Chen impatiently, wishing she could go with Zhou Chen and take care of him.

Although Qiao Sanli kept talking, Zhou Chen still listened patiently. It was not as easy to go abroad now as it would be 20 or 30 years later.

In addition to Qiao Sanli, Zhou Chen also greeted Qiao Yicheng and Qi Weimin, asking them to help take care of the situation if they were free.

Finally, Zhou Chen’s first trip abroad in this world began.

…………

Time flies, and more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Chen has been abroad for more than a year. He adapted to life in the United States more quickly than any other international students. After all, he had been to the United States many times before.

Over the past year, in addition to studying and conducting research at Johns Hopkins University, he also did a lot of other things.

That day, an elderly foreigner ran into the laboratory happily and shouted to Zhou Chen excitedly.

"Zhou, Zhou, our discovery has been nominated for a Nobel Prize."

The person who was shouting was a friend Zhou Chen met at Johns Hopkins University. He looked old, but was actually only in his thirties and was also a teacher at Johns Hopkins University.

An experimental team led by Zhou Chen has been established for a year. They have been conducting an experiment, which was finally successful thanks to Zhou Chen's ability. They were then sent to the Nobel Prize in Medicine for evaluation.

Now that he has finally been nominated, Ham, as one of the team members, is naturally very excited.

If you can win the Nobel Prize in Medicine, even if it is only as an auxiliary, you will become famous in the medical community, which is the ultimate hall of honor for countless medical researchers.

Zhou Chen was very calm: "It's just a nomination. Let's talk about it after I actually win the award."

This time they submitted prions, a new biological principle of infection.

The reason why Zhou Chen studied him was naturally because of the Nobel Prize. He wanted to make a name for himself and his country.

Prions were a research discovery that won the Nobel Prize in Medicine a few years later. He discovered it a few years in advance. In order to prevent any accidents, he even sought out a mentor from the school to prevent the judges from not giving him the award because he was Chinese.

It’s not that Zhou Chen is judging others by his own standards, but this situation is really possible. China’s current status in the international medical community is not high and is far from being as powerful as in the future. The Nobel Prize is likely to be looked down upon.

"Zhou, you are really calm."

Ham admired him very much. Although he was much older than Zhou Chen, he knew very well how smart and powerful this man from the distant Eastern country was.

"I heard that you will leave school soon and return to your country? Are you really willing to leave here?"

"That's my country. My family and friends are there. Of course I have to go back."

"Why don't you stay? The school can give you the best treatment. I heard that your country is very backward and far less developed than ours. Only by staying here can you really display your abilities."

Zhou Chen raised his head, looked at Ham seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Ham, my country is lagging behind now, but this is only temporary."

Only he knows that his country will usher in rapid development in the near future, and in a dozen years, the word "backward" will no longer be used to describe his country.

"Well, maybe you have a point. I just don't want to lose you as a good friend."

"Good friends know no boundaries or distance. The Internet is becoming more and more developed now. Even if I return to China, we can still keep in touch."

Johns Hopkins University is indeed very good. It is worthy of being a research-based university. It strongly supports capable students. This is also the biggest reason why Zhou Chen was able to quickly become famous.

If he were to go to some discriminatory cities or schools, as a Chinese student studying abroad, he would have to work several times harder to gain status.

Of course, in addition to these, his success at Johns Hopkins University is also inseparable from an important factor, that is, money.

…………

When the 93 Nobel Prize in Medicine was announced, there was a sensation around the world, and the biggest sensation came from the distant Eastern country.

In just one day, the name of Zhou Chen, one of the Nobel Prize winners in medicine, became known throughout China, and the national news station was constantly publicizing the matter.

Even ordinary people who had never heard of the Nobel Prize before now know about it and that a fellow countryman has won this world-class award.

When news of Zhou Chen's deeds reached Jinling, it caused a huge sensation, and the news media quickly dug up Zhou Chen's past deeds.

All major newspapers were vying to publish news about Zhou Chen, and the news about Jinling Medical University was known throughout the country.

"Is this really our son?"

At Zhou's house, Han Huifang looked at Zhou Chen's photo in the newspaper and couldn't believe her eyes.

Her son has been away from home for nearly two years. Although they have contacted each other many times through the Internet, she has never met him in person, so she misses him terribly.

Now her son has not come back, and what he did has caused a national sensation, which makes her completely unable to react.

Zhou Jianguo said excitedly, "My son has brought honor to our Zhou family. Is this Nobel Prize really that great?"

For the old couple, they had never heard of the Nobel Prize before, and if it hadn't been such a big fuss this time, they wouldn't have known about it.

Zhou Chen’s relatives and friends were also shocked, especially those from Jinling Medical University, who were all extremely shocked.

They sent Zhou Chen to Johns Hopkins University to learn advanced medical knowledge from abroad, but they didn't expect that Zhou Chen would give them such a huge surprise.

He beat a group of foreigners and won the Nobel Prize in Medicine, which was something they never dared to imagine.

At this moment, Qiao Yicheng has become the object of envy and jealousy of countless reporters at the TV station, because with Song Qingyuan's publicity, everyone knows that Qiao Yicheng is Zhou Chen's brother-in-law. Since he is Zhou Chen's brother-in-law, he must know a lot of inside information, so compiling news is a piece of cake for him.

In fact, when Qiao Yicheng learned about this, he was also very confused. He knew that Zhou Chen was very smart and capable, but he didn't expect him to be this capable.

The head of the TV station asked him to report the news, so he did not dare to delay and wrote a lot about Zhou Chen. Of course, he would not reveal any of the secrets.

Qiao Sanli looked at Zhou Chen's photo in the newspaper, her eyes full of tenderness.

Compared to more than a year ago, she has matured a lot. She is 21 years old this year and will graduate from college in another year.

She hadn't seen Zhou Chen for more than a year, so she naturally missed him terribly.

She was naturally happy and honored that Zhou Chen won the award, but compared to this, she wanted to see Zhou Chen himself more.

"You will be back in a few months, Zhou Chen. I really miss you."

In the capital, Xiang Nanfang, who was about to finish her graduate studies, was happy for Zhou Chen after hearing the news. She hadn't seen Zhou Chen for a long time.

She decided to start working after completing her postgraduate studies, and it would be even better if she could return to Jinling.

The news of Zhou Chen winning the Nobel Prize caused a sensation in the country for a long time, and it was reported every day. After all, it was a matter of winning glory for the country, so the country naturally strongly supported it.

But after the heat passed, apart from the continued discussion in the medical community, there was no news about Zhou Chen in the news.

A few more months passed, and it was time for Zhou Chen to return to China. Even though various schools and research institutes abroad offered him countless benefits, it still couldn't stop him from returning home.

However, his return to his country also caused quite a stir, because he was now a well-known figure, and the United States did not want to let him leave easily, and blocked him at various checkpoints.

Zhou Chen had no choice but to contact the embassy. After a long stalemate, they finally smoothed over the relationship and allowed him to board the plane back home.

Even while sitting on the plane, Zhou Chen felt a little uneasy, fearing that someone would do something bad to him. After all, the plane was in the sky, and if someone really wanted to do something, he would have no room to resist.

As a Chinese, he won the Nobel Prize, which can be regarded as a huge contribution to the country. However, he and Qiao Sanli have not officially married yet, so the main task has not been completely completed, and he cannot leave this world for the time being.

When he stepped onto the country's territory again, he finally felt relieved.

After returning to China, he did not go home immediately, but had a lot of social engagements. There were people he had to meet and things he had to do.

So after several days of delay, he returned to Jinling in a low-key manner.

In the airport lobby, he saw his parents and fiancée who came to greet him, and he greeted them excitedly.

"Dad, mom."

Looking at his parents who had grown older, Zhou Chen cried out with sobs.

Han Huifang hugged Zhou Chen tightly and said, "Xiaochen."

Zhou Jianguo smiled while crying: "Xiaochen, your mother knew you were coming back today, but she was so excited that she didn't sleep well for a few days."

After Han Huifang let go, she looked at Zhou Chen carefully: "You haven't lost weight, you've become more handsome. It seems that you haven't suffered much outside."

Zhou Chen smiled and comforted them: "Of course, I promised you that I would come back safe and sound."

After talking tenderly to his parents, Zhou Chen walked towards Qiao Sanli again.

"Sanli, I'm back."

Qiao Sanli could no longer hold back her tears, and they flowed down. She had thousands of words to say, but could only say one sentence.

"Just come back."

Chapter 516 Two Years of Change

"Well, Mom, I haven't eaten the food you cooked for two years. I miss it so much. It still tastes like this, the taste of home, delicious."

At the dinner table, the family of four, Zhou Jianguo, Han Huifang and Qiao Sanli all held their chopsticks without moving, just watching Zhou Chen eating with relish.

Zhou Chen praised the food while eating. He was not flattering on purpose, but was sincere in his words.

He has been in the United States for two years. Although he has been to Chinatowns in many cities and eaten at many Chinese restaurants, the food in those places may be delicious, but it is far from the taste of his hometown and the love and care of his mother.

"If it tastes good, eat more."

Han Huifang happily picked up a few more pieces of food for Zhou Chen. Seeing her son by her side made her feel particularly satisfied.

"Okay, Mom, Dad, Sanli, stop staring at me, let's eat together."

"Okay, eat. Eat all."

The meal lasted more than an hour, and there was no rule in the house that one should not talk while eating or sleeping, so Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang kept asking this question.

On the contrary, although Qiao Sanli was also very excited, she controlled her emotions and left this time to Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang.

Under his parents' questioning, Zhou Chen briefly talked about his experiences abroad in the past two years, especially winning the Nobel Prize, which his parents asked about in detail several times.

During the day, Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang did not go to work, but stayed at home and talked to Zhou Chen.

It was not until the evening, after dinner, that Zhou Chen took Qiao Sanli away from home and drove to his own house.

When he decided to study abroad, he bought a house near the school with three bedrooms and two living rooms, covering an area of ​​more than 120 square meters.

Before going abroad, he gave the house to Qiao Sanli, gave her some money, and gave her the blueprints for decoration, to use as his new house.

On the way back, when they were alone, Qiao Sanli released her emotions to her heart's content, leaning tightly against Zhou Chen. Although she didn't say any mushy or affectionate words, her actions expressed her longing for Zhou Chen.

"Zhou Chen, I really miss you. Wherever you go in the future, you must take me with you."

Now that she is engaged, Qiao Sanli is no longer as shy as before and is not as embarrassed to say sweet words.

Zhou Chen said softly: "Okay, if I go on a long trip in the future, I will definitely take you with me, and we will never be separated."

"Well, never separate."

Soon they returned to their own home. Qiao Sanli said a little embarrassedly: "I decorated this place according to the drawings you left me. There may be some changes. If it doesn't turn out well, don't blame me."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "This is a house that belongs to both of us. As the hostess, you are of course qualified to decide how to decorate it. How could I blame you?"

"After all, you bought the house, and we're not really married yet."

Zhou Chen's face was stern: "Why, don't you still want to marry me? Or have you changed your mind after not seeing me for two years?"

Qiao Sanli hit Zhou Chen and said, "You just talk nonsense. How could I change my mind? My heart can only hold you for the rest of my life."

"That's pretty much it."

Zhou Chen hugged Qiao Sanli, and Qiao Sanli opened the door and walked in.

"Let's see how it goes?"

Qiao Sanli opened her hands with a proud expression, as if waiting for Zhou Chen's praise.

Zhou Chen walked around the house and found that the decoration was good. Most of it was according to his drawings, but there were some differences, such as the bedroom, balcony, and kitchen, which had obvious changes. They should have been made by Qiao Sanli according to her own preferences.

The decoration is not luxurious, of course, that's in Zhou Chen's eyes.

In fact, the decoration of this house is absolutely luxurious in this era.

Several brothers and sisters of the Qiao family came to see it, and they were all shocked, especially Qiao Simei, who wished she could stay.

"It looks great. Our Sanli is really capable. She can do it so well by herself."

Qiao Sanli was a little embarrassed by the compliment: "No, these are all the drawings you provided, I just made a few small changes."

Zhou Chen smiled. In fact, his drawings were the most suitable for the decoration of this house. It was just that people in different times had different perspectives. Qiao Sanli could not understand his decoration ideas, so there were some changes. But it was not a big deal.

A house is meant to be lived in. No matter how well it is decorated, it will be useless if you don’t live comfortably in it.

Now that Qiao Sanli has made changes according to her own ideas, it means that this will make her live more comfortably, and this is the best result.

"Sanli, tonight..."

Before Zhou Chen could finish speaking, Qiao Sanli pushed Zhou Chen into the bathroom with a blushing face.
