Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 340 - 322: The Meaning of Marriage (2)

Making videos about one’s life to earn traffic and money is not inherently wrong. However, many people have some opinions about the lifestyle category, which often lacks content and substance but can still capture a large portion of the traffic.

It’s easy to understand. Some people put a lot of time and energy into creating content videos with high professionalism, yet their views are minimal.

But some lifestyle creators make "Don’t Laugh Challenge," "Meal Challenge," and the like, which often feel forced and awkward, leading to widespread dislike.

"A little diversion now and then, actually, I haven’t watched videos from lifestyle creators in ages."

Shu Xin laughed too. As a relatively ancient dance channel creator on Bilibili, she dabbled in some lifestyle videos after becoming popular.

But now she understands that making too much lifestyle content can easily backfire, so she’s gradually adjusting.

"What are you two discussing? Short videos? Douyin or KuaiShou?"

Wang Yaoqing listened to Zhao Heng and Shu Xin’s conversation, looking confused, and couldn’t help but ask.

He rarely browsed short videos, only occasionally watching Douyin and KuaiShou in his spare time.

"Uncle, you’re so out of touch. Those apps are used by middle-aged and older people."

Shu Xin glanced disdainfully at Wang Yaoqing and then said.

"What’s wrong with middle-aged people? I am middle-aged!"

Wang Yaoqing didn’t like hearing this; this niece always mocked him when they met, despite him having little recourse. He genuinely wondered if he’d owed too much in a past life and was repaying it now.

Seeing the back-and-forth between Wang Yaoqing and Shu Xin, Zhao Heng couldn’t help but smile. Between family, this only occurs when the relationship is good.

This is just what they call mutual willingness, right?

"Dr. Zhao, are you also into short videos?"

Wang Yaoqing curiously asked Zhao Heng.

In his view, Zhao Heng, being a doctor, was already quite busy, and now collaborating with him to develop software meant even less free time. Yet in this limited time, he managed a short video account which was doing well.

Could it be that this is genius?

"Yeah, just dabbling."

Zhao Heng replied casually.

"Uncle, senior isn’t just dabbling. His video account now has over half a million followers. Among all medical educational video channels on Bilibili, not only does he have the most active followers, but each video also has the highest ratio of likes and coins."

Shu Xin spoke proudly about Zhao Heng.

It’s quite normal for Shu Xin to be proud of Zhao Heng, as fan economy is quite active nowadays. Take video creators on Bilibili as an example; follower counts can be bought.

Some creators might have millions of followers, yet each video only gets tens of thousands or even a few thousand views, with meager comments, indicating these accounts bought their followers.

Therefore, for video creators, active followers are truly valuable.

Moreover, there are plenty of internet beggars now, siphoning off significant traffic, making it tough for genuine content creators.

"Dr. Zhao, you’re truly impressive at doing self-media."

Wang Yaoqing said admiringly to Zhao Heng, looking at him as if discovering a new continent.

A genius is a genius; a true genius can cross fields and still excel.

"Not bad, I just wanted to make some educational medical videos as most people severely lack medical knowledge."

Zhao Heng replied indifferently; his original aim for making videos was educational.

The strained relationship between doctors and patients nowadays is largely due to the public’s lack of medical knowledge.

How outrageous can this lack of knowledge be?

Just look at a widely spread saying about seeking medical treatment.

A saying goes, minor illnesses don’t need treatment, major illnesses can’t be healed.

At first glance, this seems reasonable, but on reflection, aren’t major illnesses developed from minor ones?

Such simple linear logical relations are still unclear to some people, so Zhao Heng feels doing medical knowledge education is meaningful.

"I support you, senior."

Shu Xin promptly declared without hesitation as soon as Zhao Heng finished speaking.

Seeing his niece support Zhao Heng like this, Wang Yaoqing couldn’t help but sigh internally.

Honestly, if his niece ended up with someone as excellent as Zhao Heng, Wang Yaoqing would think it’s a good thing.

But Zhao Heng already has a girlfriend, and their relationship seems stable. Wang Yaoqing is worried that if his niece falls for him and can’t move on, what would he do?

However, Wang Yaoqing was just overthinking. He doesn’t realize that young people nowadays increasingly prefer not to date but maintain a special kind of relationship.

More and more young people find dating to be a troublesome affair.

Soon after, they finished their late night snack, and Wang Yaoqing drove Zhao Heng home.

When returning home, it was already eleven o’clock.

As Zhao Heng entered, he saw his parents sitting on the couch, not looking like they were about to sleep.

"Dad, Mom, why aren’t you asleep yet?"

Zhao Heng swapped his shoes for slippers, sat on the couch, and spoke to them.

"Getting old, sleep is not good. I see you haven’t been to the stall lately, are you busy with something important?"

Dad Zhao waved and said.

Recently, his noodle stall has been doing better, almost becoming a must-visit spot on the food street. More people come to eat noodles, so the couple is busier than before.

However, for the couple who farmed for years back home, managing a noodle stall is no big deal.

In fact, Zhao Heng just wanted his parents to have something to do. With his current salary, they didn’t need to work for household income.

"There’s a project lately, a bit busier."

Zhao Heng nodded, took a cup, poured some water, drank, and said.

"It’s been days since I’ve seen Man Ni. Both of you are so busy; if you get married, how will life be?"

Mom Zhao said worriedly; both her son and daughter-in-law are excellent, which makes her happy. But since they both work at the hospital and are so busy, as well, once married, life would be tough.

Mom Zhao and Dad Zhao have been married for thirty years; thirty years is known as a pearl marriage because being together for 30 years makes the marriage precious like a pearl, with intimacy like its roundness and a life radiant and happy like it.

In marriage and family life, inevitably, one person must take on the primary responsibility for the household. There are many things at home that require someone to spend a lot of time and energy managing.

"Young people today are different from our time. Back then, we were simply too poor; one person couldn’t make it alone."

Dad Zhao’s opinion was very different from Mom Zhao’s and seemed open-minded.

"When we were young, a person not marrying, without a wife, was called a widower. That’s because, in the countryside, many things required two people; on one’s own, just getting by could barely keep starvation at bay."

After a pause, Dad Zhao continued.

"Dad, you’re really insightful."

Zhao Heng was a bit surprised; he didn’t expect his father to be so perceptive.

Marriage indeed serves the biggest role of mutual support and risk-sharing, this role has been greatly weakened in modern society.

Because nowadays, young people can live really well on their own.

"If I weren’t insightful, could I nurture someone like you into a prestigious university student?"

Dad Zhao chuckled, quite proud of himself.

Nurturing Zhao Heng, an outstanding prestigious university student, is the proudest achievement of Dad Zhao’s life.

Now the whole family has moved from their hometown to North City thanks to Zhao Heng, which many people can’t achieve.
