Zhang Fan continued to study hard even though he was now formally a doctor. He would study together with Shao Hua whenever he had free time. She studied accounting, while Zhang Fan constantly practiced English speaking and vocabulary. He would also take walks together with her. Shao Hua and her parents did all of the chores in the home. They would never let Zhang Fan be bothered by such trifling matters. In fact, Shao Hua's parents even argued much less with each other than before, not wanting to bother Zhang Fan.
Every week, as long as Zhang Fan wasn't busy, he would always call his parents together with Shao Hua, as well as call his younger sister Jingshu. If Zhang Fan didn't have the time, Shao Hua would always call on behalf of him. Thus passed Zhang Fan's days, which were quite plain, just like chicken soup. The flavor was light but nutritious. Zhang Fan's chicken soup days were filled with bliss.
