Chapter 14: Apprenticeship
Li Zhou Fangmei was still a little uneasy, and said, "Master Peng, you should prescribe some medicinal herbs, and I will go home and stew some medicinal food for my daughter-in-law." In this place in the United States, our family has just arrived, and it is not convenient to buy some Chinese medicine or anything. ”
Master Peng pondered for a moment and replied, "It's okay, you wait a while." ”
got up and walked inside, and after a while, Master Peng grabbed a few small paper bags in his hand and walked out, took a bag and put it on, and handed it to Li Zhou Fangmei. "I've given you a dose of each pack, ten packs in total. If you're not in a hurry, I'll write you a few more medicinal diet practices specifically for pregnant women, and just follow them when you get back. ”
"That's great, thank you, Master Peng." Li Zhoufangmei said gratefully.
Master Pang walked to the counter, put a few dollar bills on the counter into his pocket, then took out paper, pen and ink from the drawer, and lowered his head to write the prescription.
Li Yigang saw that Master Peng was writing with a brush, and he had also learned calligraphy with his father when he was young, so he approached the counter with great interest to watch.
As soon as the county lord Pei entered the door, he noticed this Master Peng, who looked only in his early fifties, but looking at his figure, he was vigorous and vigorous, his posture was upright, and he did not show his old age at all, and he looked like a practitioner. Pei Pei knew in her heart that this Master Peng's age was by no means like the fifty-something that appeared on the surface.
She walked up to her grandfather, pulled his trouser leg, and reached out for him to hug him. Li Yi just bent down and picked up his granddaughter, and the county lord Pei hugged his grandfather's neck, glanced at Master Peng's words twice, and then whispered in his grandfather's ear: "Grandpa, his handwriting is better than yours." ”
Master Peng looked up at the little girl, just in line with the little girl's eyes, the little girl is delicate and delicate, delicate and glutinous, and the old man Peng is interested. "The little girl also knows how to read? Have you read a book? How many words do you know on this? ”
When Lord Pei saw that the meat was coming, he immediately sold cuteness to Master Peng, "Grandpa Peng's handwriting is better than my grandfather's." I know them all. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the prescription and read them one by one: "This is Angelica, this is Astragalus, and this is Dangshen, all of which are known by Pei Pei, but Pei Pei's handwriting is not good-looking!" Lord Pei read out the names of the medicines one by one, "Grandpa Peng, can you teach me to write?" I'm going to write as well as you do. ”
There are so many books hidden in the space, as well as medical and martial arts cheats, you always have to find a reasonable excuse, and you can reveal these skills in front of others in the future. As soon as the county lord Pei saw Old Man Peng, he knew that the opportunity had come.
Old Man Peng put down his pen, picked up the prescription and shook it habitually, looked at the little girl in front of him, and smiled slightly. "You're young enough to tell the difference between good and bad, but it's not easy to learn words from me. I started learning calligraphy at the age of five, and now I'm almost seventy years old, and I haven't written for more than 60 years. ”
Li Yigang listened to it and was very surprised. Looking at the appearance of Master Peng, I thought he was only in his early fifties, but he didn't expect his real age to be almost seventy. With experience, and then looking at Old Man Peng's vigorous legs and feet, he couldn't see his real age, and Li Yigang felt that this was a person with a background. hurriedly said: "The little girl is not sensible, you are always smiling." You are really well maintained, old man, I thought I was about the same age at first, but I didn't expect to be a generation older than me. Master Peng, how do you take care of your body, I want to ask you for advice. ”
The old man said lightly: "We do Chinese medicine, but we don't just know how to do medical skills, I play Tai Chi every morning and evening to practice my legs and feet, my body is strong, and people look young." ”
Seeing that the handwriting of the prescription was dry, Old Man Peng folded the prescription diagonally, handed it to Li Yigang, and said, "I have written everything that should be paid attention to, just do it." The total benefit is 270 US dollars, 25 per pack of 10 medicinal herbs, and 20 US dollars for the consultation. ”
After speaking, she looked at Li Peipei, looking at such a delicate and glutinous little girl, her expression was not so indifferent, she touched the little girl's head, and asked kindly, "How old is the little girl this year?" ”
Lord Pei smiled sweetly, "I'm also five years old, the same age as when you first learned to write, grandpa, you can teach me, I'm very smart." I'm apprenticed to you! ”
Li Yigang heard Old Man Peng's explanation, and said in his heart, as expected, this old man is a master.
As the saying goes, the older the rivers and lakes, the deeper the experience, Li Yigang's brain turned quickly, and he hurriedly put down his granddaughter from his arms, took out his wallet, counted 270 US dollars, put it on the table, and then said to Mr. Peng with a smile: "Our family just came to the United States, and we have just set up a company here, and my son and I are still busy with outside business, and we don't have much time and energy to educate the younger generation." I don't worry about anything else on Lao Mei's side, the only thing to worry about is the education of my grandchildren, I am afraid that the children will be yellow-skinned and white-hearted in the future, if you don't dislike it, when my wife brings her daughter-in-law to check the pulse, then bring the two children with you, you are always free, just tease the children to play, and teach them to write by the way. The apprenticeship ceremony is according to your old rules, and you can rest assured that I will prepare the pen and ink for the children. ”
Old Man Peng squinted at Li Yigang, with a smile on his face, "You are very good at fighting snakes with sticks, no wonder the business is done with the American Empire." ”
Li Yigang looked a little embarrassed, and explained: "Hey-I really just came here, the family hasn't gained a foothold yet, I really don't have time to educate my children, and when I see you old and fall in love, I wouldn't have opened my mouth to trouble you old." ”
Old Man Peng didn't look at him, squatted down, and scared the little girl with a smile: "It's very fortunate to study with me, if you don't obey, I'll spank you!" ”
Lord Pei was not afraid, she learned the essence of her grandfather's snake beating stick, and immediately grabbed the old man's knee and said: "Master, I still have to learn from you to take the pulse, I can see my grandparents in the future, and I also have to learn the boxing you said, in the past, there were always children in the kindergarten who pulled my braids, and whoever moved my hair in the future, I will beat him!" As he spoke, he shook his little fist and sold a cute look at Old Man Peng.
Younger brother Xiaozhi is his sister's follower, seeing that his sister was going to apprentice, he threw the car in his hand to his grandmother, and hurriedly rushed to Old Man Peng like a small locomotive, pulled the corner of Old Man Peng's clothes, and blinked his big eyes, "Grandpa, Grandpa, I also want to learn, I am well-behaved, as smart as my sister!" ”
Two super cute little dolls surrounded him, Old Man Peng's heart seemed to be filled with honey, one in each hand, touching the heads of the two bear children, and said lightly to Li Yigang: "That's it, I will accept these two children first, don't prepare for the apprenticeship or something, I will investigate for a period of time, and then notify you to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony when the official entry is time." ”
At this time, it was not early, Li Yi just saw that the goal was achieved, and he did not procrastinate, left his contact information for Mr. Peng, collected the prescription and medicine bag, said goodbye to Mr. Peng, and left the hospital with his family.
