Chapter 248: Apprenticeship
Su Yi was afraid that Chen Lao would not be used to living in the mountains, and he was worried that he was seriously ill and his body could not stand it.
A week after Chen Lao entered the mountain, she asked Xiao Yi to drive to Liu Ping to take Professor An's wife Cen Xiangxue, Seventh Uncle and Dabao Xiaobao and Chengcheng into the mountain to visit Chen Lao.
"Why are you here? Ouch, I can't see it in the blink of an eye, Dabao and Xiaobao have grown so big? And Chengcheng, good boy, you are almost as tall as Xiao Sugao. β
When Su Yi and the others came, Chen Lao was shoveling dung in the pigsty, and when he saw them, he threw away the shovel, jumped out of the pigsty, and shouted at the three children with open hands: "Come over and hug Grandpa Chen." β
Although Chengcheng and Dabao Xiaobao live in the countryside, they have never done farm work, and they have been raised by the old man to be more delicate than the children in the city, and they are not used to the smell of feces, and they have not passed.
Dabao and Xiaobao are at the age of naughty and disgusting and straightforward talking, they pinched their noses in disgust and shook their heads: "Don't." Grandpa Chen, you stink. Mom said that you have to pay attention to hygiene, you should go and wash it. β
Chen Lao was disgusted, and he was not angry at all, but leaned forward and leaned back with a smile.
Su Yi and Xiao Yi each glared at their two sons, "Mom also said that we should respect the old and love the young." Dad also said that you should not be rude to adults. Say sorry to Grandpa Chen. β
"Grandpa Chen, I'm sorry, we were wrong. β
"It doesn't matter. You are telling the truth. Chen Lao came out of the pigsty, cleaned his dirt in the stream outside, and chatted with Su Yi: "Xiao Su, do your three babies usually eat feed? β
Su Yi has a black line, and her child is not a pig, what kind of feed do you eat.
She hadn't answered Chen Lao yet, so she dragged Xiao Yi to the stream, and Dabao and Xiaobao, who wanted to play in the water, shouted when they heard this: "We don't eat feed!
Xiao Yi saw his two sons rushing to the stream, afraid that they would not be able to stop the car and fall into the stream and freeze, so he grabbed their back collars and carried them back: "You can't play in the water now." When the weather warms up, Dad will come back and teach you how to swim. β
Dabao and Xiaobao booed him: "You are so busy, where do you have time to teach us to swim." We want to teach our brother in the city, don't stink Dad. β
"No! Brother Chengcheng is also a child, did I say that children can't go down the river without an adult?" Xiao Yi's tone was very stern.
Dabao and Xiaobao had already figured out his temper, knowing that he was bluffing, and they were not afraid of him at all: "I want Brother Chengcheng to teach! Brother Chengcheng is very good, better than many adults." β
Xiao Yi raised his hand and gestured to slap their buttocks, Da Bao and Xiao Bao were like two slippery fish, breaking free from Xiao Yi's hands, pounced on Chen Lao, who had washed his hands and face, hid behind him, and sneered at Xiao Yibi proudly.
The seventh uncle and Cen Xiangxue covered their mouths and snickered on the shore.
Chen Lao opened his hand, like a hen protecting her cubs, and did not allow Xiao Yi to teach the two good treasures a lesson.
Seeing this, Su Yi's face sank, "Dabao Xiaobao, hurry up." Otherwise, Mom will be angry. β
Da Bao and Xiao Bao reflexively covered their buttocks, and last time Su Yi made this expression to them, he turned his head and smoked them with a broom. The two of them shook their heads like rattles: "Don't!"
Su Yi immediately pulled Xiao Yi and turned around and left: "Since you like Grandpa Chen so much, you can clean the pigsty here with him, and smell the smell every day." Let's go home with Brother Chengcheng, and we won't take you with us. β
"Mom, Dad, don't go!" The two treasures couldn't hold on, rushed over and hugged Su Yi and Xiao Yi's legs respectively, pouted their butts obediently, and said with a crying voice: "You guys fight." Tap it. Bao is afraid of pain. β
Chen Lao looked at this scene, he was relieved and envious, how could these two treasures be so well-behaved! He wanted to accept them as apprentices more and more, and let them support him in his old age.
Su Yi and Xiao Yi symbolically patted their son's buttocks and asked Chengcheng to take them to the side to play, and the two of them, together with Seventh Uncle and Cen Xiangxue, went with Chen Lao to his residence, a wooden house next to the pigsty, to see Chen Lao.
Cen Xiangxue said that because of the lack of precision instruments, she could not diagnose Chen Lao's condition, and suggested that Xiao Yi find the captain to open a letter of introduction to Chen Lao and take him to a big hospital for examination.
After the seventh uncle checked Chen Lao's pulse, he said that his condition was not very serious, he didn't have to go to a big hospital, he had medicine at home, so he would give him a few pairs to eat first, see if his condition improved, and then he would prescribe medicine to Chen Lao as appropriate.
Cen Xiangxue disagreed: "How can you just take a pulse and casually prescribe medicine to a patient? This is irresponsible to Chen Lao." I still advocate that he go to the hospital for relevant examinations, to measure the lesions of the organs, and then to check the blood, to see how far some key indicators are from the normal level. After all the investigations are clear, we will prescribe the right medicine. β
"No need!" Uncle Seventh was questioned, and said with his head held high: "No need to check, at most eight months, I can cure him!"
"What do you say! What if it doesn't get cured, but makes Old Chen's condition worse?" Cen Xiangxue planned to sing the reverse tune to the end.
The seventh uncle slapped his hand: "If something happens, I am fully responsible! If he is killed, I will pay him this old life!"
Chen Lao, who wanted to speak several times, was interrupted several times, rolled his eyes, "I said, can you listen to the opinion of me, a patient? I don't want to die, I still want to live a hundred years." β
The seventh uncle and Cen Xiangxue asked him, "Then how do you want to treat it?"
"I'm not a doctor. How do I know what to do?"
"Then what are you going to do, I won't kill you. I, Liu Laoqi, have been practicing medicine for many years, and I have treated not 1,000 patients, but 800. Those people took my medicine and they were alive and well. If you eat it, it will only get better and better, and it won't make you hang your neck. "Uncle Seven is very confident in his medical skills.
Cen Xiangxue and Chen Lao had doubts about this, and they wanted to go to a big hospital for a physical examination before deciding on a treatment plan.
The two parties disagreed and quarreled.
Su Yi and Xiao Yi went over to persuade them, but at first no one paid attention to them, and then the three of Chen Lao, who were hoarse, pulled her and Xiao Yi and asked them to comment on who was right and who was wrong.
Xiao Yi has dealt with many disputes in recent years and has experience: "There is no right or wrong in this matter. There was no problem with the plans of the Seventh Uncle and Dr. Shum. As a patient, Mr. Chen listened to the diagnosis of the two doctors and had the right to choose the best treatment plan for him...... Seventh uncle, don't go, I haven't finished my sentence yet. β
Su Yi grabbed Uncle Seven, and Xiao Yi continued: "Given that the patients treated by Uncle Seven have recovered well, it means that there is no problem with his medical skills and treatment plan at all. β
"At the moment, we are too far away from the big hospital in the city, and if we want to follow Dr. Cen's plan and go to the city hospital for a check-up before prescribing medicine every time, we don't have the conditions to toss at all. Mr. Chen, you have a special status, unless you are critically ill, you can't leave here and go outside for medical treatment. β
"And the hospital here is relatively short of medicine, I heard Brother Fei say that you need to take several rare Western medicines for this disease. Hospitals in the city don't necessarily have those medicines. Therefore, I think you should take the Chinese medicine prescribed by Uncle Qi for a while. β
"After half a year, the above is not so tight, and I will find a way to take you to a big hospital for a physical examination. If your symptoms are significantly reduced by then and your body is basically restored, we don't have to waste time and money to do that check-up, and continue to take the medicine that Uncle Seven has made public. What do you think?"
Old Chen pondered for a long time and nodded: "...... All right. Try it first. If my condition gets worse halfway through, you'll have to take me to the hospital right away!"
"It's a definite ......"
The seventh uncle snorted angrily and said, "You want to take my medicine, I don't want to prescribe it to you yet! I don't see your illness yet!"
When who hasn't lost his temper yet!
Ten miles and eight townships, and even in the county seat and city, many people heard that he had excellent medical skills, begged to come to the door, and paid a lot of money to ask him to help see a doctor. The leaders of the army, the armed forces department of the county, the city, the public security bureau, and the police station who had hidden diseases even came to the door with gifts to ask him to help prescribe medicine.
This stinky old man who swept the pigsty actually questioned him again and again!
Listening to his disgusted tone and looking at his reluctant expression, the angry Seventh Uncle thought to himself: If it weren't for Xiao Su and Xiao Yi's face, who would care about him!
Chen Lao felt that Uncle Seven, the barefoot doctor, had a really big temper, and he was about to say: There are more people who treat me, and those people are dozens of times stronger than you.
Su Yi dragged the seventh uncle and didn't let him go, she gave Xiao Yi a look and asked him to block Old Chen's mouth, "Seventh uncle, you dissipate your anger." Chen Lao is a newcomer, and I don't know how good your medical skills are. Don't mess with him. β
"I ......" Chen Lao's last words were held down by Xiao Yi with a slap and plugged back into his stomach.
Su Yi was still persuading the seventh uncle: "It is said that the parents of the doctor are hearty, I know that you have always been open-minded, and Chen Lao's illness has to pay you a lot of trouble." β
"When his illness is cured, I will go to the farm to pick up the first 300 catties of pigs and kill them, and bring them back to you after removing the hair. There are also rabbit cubs and chicken cubs that my uncle and mother said, and I will also pick a few strong ones for you to bring back. β
"Okay. For the sake of the flesh and the cubs, I reluctantly healed him. The seventh uncle spoke arrogantly.
Cen Xiangxue snorted disdainfully, wanting to scold the seventh uncle, but saw Su Yi clasping her hands behind his back and pleading with her silently, she raised her neck and threw her sleeves away.
She would keep an eye on Uncle Seven and Chen Lao, and if Chen Lao's condition deteriorated halfway, she could still call someone to send him to the hospital in time.
Cen Xiangxue has always been educated in the Western medical system and does not believe in Chinese medicine.
Cen Xiangxue went to the car and sulked, Su Yi took the seventh uncle aside to write a list, and Xiao Yi persuaded him in Chen Lao's humble wooden house to popularize the wisdom of the seventh uncle's medical skills.
ββ¦β¦ I have been away in Liu Ping for several years, and in my memory, Uncle Seventh has never failed when he makes a move. Even if he can't cure some stubborn diseases, he can reduce the symptoms of patients, improve their physical fitness, and prolong their lives. β
"Uncle Seventh is not a charlatan. Be respectful to him, don't be angry. If you leave your popularity, you will be dragged by this disease, and you will be the one who suffers. You are an old Chinese medicine doctor, why are you safe and sound until now?"
"The reason why he was not criticized and was not sent to reform is because many leaders are protecting him behind his back. Those leaders need Uncle Seventh to see a doctor and prescribe medicine to treat their stubborn diseases, and they can't wait to invite him home to offer him good wine and meat. You're still doing that to people. β
Old Chen was speechless: "He's really so powerful? Xiao Xiao, aren't you coaxing me?"
"What am I coaxing you to do? If you don't believe me, take a few pills and you'll know if I'm exaggerating. β
"Done. I also want to see if he really has two brushes. β
Chen Lao raised his hand and put his hand on Xiao Yi's shoulder, his eyes lit up, and the topic changed, "Xiao Xiao, I really like your two treasures." Both of them have very good roots and bones, and they are the material for martial arts. I want to take them as apprentices and pass on what I have learned to them......"
"Do you still want to fool the two babies into becoming soldiers?" Xiao Yi sighed and interrupted Old Chen: "You have died of this heart." Xiao Su would never agree. β
"I just said that I wanted to accept them as apprentices, when did I say that I wanted to encourage them to join the army?" I can't bear to let them suffer that way. β
"You see that I am now alone, and several children don't recognize me, and I will have to send me to the end of my life with big and small treasures. I treat them as my own grandsons! How can I let them be in danger?" Chen Laoxin said that he did not respond to every call in the army, and he was also a little thin-faced, and if the big and small treasures really wanted to join the army in the future, he would use his connections to ensure their safety.
"I can't do that. I also have to ask Xiao Su and the two children. When Xiao Yi said this, he didn't blush at all. His reputation for raking ears is already well known, and he is not afraid of being ridiculed by Chen Lao.
"Well, you wasted so much of my saliva in vain. I'm going to find Xiao Su. β
Su Yi and Uncle Qi were in the mud house by the cowshed opposite Chen Lao's wooden house, and she kept watching Chen Lao and Xiao Yi with the live broadcaster.
Regarding whether to let his two sons mess with Chen, Su Yi himself was also very confused. She went to the live broadcast room to ask the audience's opinions.
Yan Huang's descendants: 'Anchor, you can't blindly spoil your children. Boys, in particular, have to be free-range. Chen Lao is a descendant of ancient martial arts, and he has excellent kung fu. If Dabao and Xiaobao can learn five points from him, you don't have to worry about them being bullied wherever they go in the future. Even under the influence of Chen Lao, Dabao and Xiaobao want to join the army, they have their own brains and skills, and believe that they can mix like fish in water in the army. β
Mother of the Lin family: 'Upstairs is right. @δΈ»ζ, since Dabao and Xiaobao like to practice martial arts, let them learn from Chen Lao. With Chen Lao's short-term protection and shrewd temperament, he can make the two treasures suffer losses and even make mistakes? He has no one to rely on now, and the big and small treasures are his reliance. Can he harm them?'
Chronicle No. 21: 'As a mother with two sons studying at the Federal Military Academy and about to graduate and go to war, I want to say that raising a child is not an adopted daughter, and the anchor should not be too pampered. Chen Lao is a good teacher, both in terms of martial arts and other things. β
Yi is in my heart: 'Anchor, do you still need to hesitate and worry? Of course, let Dabao and Xiaobao worship Chen Lao as a teacher! He is only 53 years old this year, and his body is also strong, and he will not have a problem living to be 80 years old in the future. Moreover, there are many old people in the army who are good friends with Chen Lao and subordinates who worship him and follow him, which is a natural advantage and resource. In the future, these people will be the help and umbrella of big and small treasures. β
As soon as Su Yi finished watching the barrage of these audiences, Chen Lao found her and called her out to talk.
Su Yi already had seven points in her heart to let her son learn from Chen Lao, but she had always focused on the child's wishes, called Dabao and Xiaobao back, and told them that if they wanted to learn martial arts from Chen Lao, they needed to worship him as a teacher, and they would suffer a lot of hardships and sweat if they practiced diligently every day. You can't give up easily. Ask them if they can persevere, and if they are willing to worship Chen Lao as a teacher?
The two children tilted their heads in thought for a moment, but nodded firmly. They like to practice martial arts, want to become stronger, protect their families, fight away bad guys, and are not afraid of hardship.
In this way, Su Yi came down to prepare for the apprenticeship, chose an auspicious day to take Dabao and Xiaobao up the mountain, worshiped Chen Lao as a teacher, and said to Chen Lao that in a month, let the two treasures live with him for 20 days and return to Liu Ping for 10 days.
Because of the old man and Professor Zhou, they are reluctant to have two children.
Chen Lao agreed. He also gave Dabao and Xiaobao a jade plaque respectively, and solemnly added their names to an ancient thread-bound book he brought.
In this way, Dabao Xiaobao became the thirty-second generation disciple of the Heshan faction.
