Chapter 65: Envy and Jealousy
Before it was time to eat, Chen Lao planned to probe the news a little first.
"Sit down, listen to the bamboo, go get some plates of pastries." As he spoke, Chen Lao picked up the teapot and poured water for them himself.
Chen Lao is here, and everyone is pouring tea, where do you want him to be like this.
However, from this move, it can also be seen that Chen Lao attaches great importance to them.
"This tea is a medicinal tea that I made myself when I have nothing to do, and it is just right to drink it in this autumn." As he spoke, Old Chen carefully looked at the expressions of Ah Xiu's father and daughter with his spare eyes.
It's a pity that he was doomed to disappointment.
As soon as the wine father sat down, he smelled the smell of tea, and the medicinal herbs in it were guessed, and that's it.
As for Ah Xiu, he is not interested in tea at all.
So he only saw a pair of father and daughter who were wandering out of the world, but pretending to be focused.
"How does it taste?" Chen Lao waited for a while, but he didn't listen to what they said, so he had to be cheeky and ask for praise.
When Shen Dongli drank it for the first time before, he praised it a few times.
Ah Xiu only took two sips symbolically, in fact, she liked boiled water far more than medicinal tea, and taking a sip was to save face.
Now that Chen Lao still had to ask her opinion, she had to try to recall the taste: "It's sweeter." "Forgive her for reading too little and not having too many adjectives in her head.
Chen Lao originally thought that Ah Xiu could at least say a few advantages of this tea, but he didn't expect that she would hold back for a long time before saying such four words.
There was a sense of frustration all of a sudden.
Then put your eyes on the wine daddy, he is even better. Directly supporting his head with his hands, he looked like he was napping.
Chen Lao is here, almost everyone is scolding him, he has rarely seen such an attitude, and it is still a little difficult to adapt for a while.
"By the way, Ah Xiu, did you learn this medical skill from your father?" Chen Lao pondered that he couldn't hear any other comments, so he planned to get to the point and ask the question he was most curious about.
"Nope!" Ah Xiu shook his head: "I learned it by reading medical books myself." ”
She really didn't lie, her medical skills were all learned from medical books, and her own father didn't guide her at all.
But he's kind of responsible. At least I learned my own words from him.
Although he always smells of alcohol. And often fall asleep on their own in the middle of teaching.
But her mentor was indeed him.
"Ahh Chen Lao never expected that it would be such an answer.
He began to think that even if it wasn't taught by the wine daddy, there was at most another person.
But now, listen to Ah Xiu say this. She turned out to be self-taught. At such an age. Without a formal teacher to teach, she can still have such ability, which is inevitably too rebellious.
Chen Lao couldn't help but think back to what he was doing when he was twelve years old. It seems that he hasn't even recognized all the words.
Sure enough, people are more angry than people?
That Xue Xingyi has such an achievement at a young age, Chen Lao can still understand, after all, the Xue family has a thick foundation, but this Ah Xiu ......
He couldn't help but think about it, if it was Xue Xingyi who was standing here now, he might also be hit.
But a year later, Ah Xiu really met Xue Xingyi, who became famous as a teenager, of course, that is a later story.
"Just reading books?" Chen Lao is still a little unbelievable, this is not scientific at all, if you don't have a certain understanding of the human body, even if you read a book, it is also a blind man touching an elephant!
How did he know that Ah Xiu studied Western medicine in his last life, and he best understood the various structures of the human body, and the combination of Chinese and Western medicine was naturally much faster than ordinary people.
Those professional terms that are particularly difficult to understand in the eyes of others, she can understand them in minutes by contacting the anatomy, medicine and surgery of the year.
It's just that in this way, there is also a disadvantage.
Ah Xiu's foundation is Western medicine, so things like "qi" in Chinese medicine are even more difficult for her to understand.
This is in conflict with her previous perception in a certain sense.
"Yes." Ah Xiu nodded, she didn't feel how bad she seemed to be, she just felt that her memory was better than that of others.
If she can have surgery, she will feel a greater sense of accomplishment.
It's like curing the waves before, using surgery, that's what she likes to yearn for.
It's a pity that the people here are relatively conservative, and their own surgery is destined to be impossible to be carried out on people.
"I'm really old!" Chen Lao looked at Ah Xiu's appearance, it didn't look like he was lying, and he suddenly felt a burst of weakness.
People can reach the height that ordinary people can't reach after studying for most of their lives, which makes him feel lost.
"Old Chen, you are in your prime!" Seeing that Chen Lao seemed to have withered all of a sudden, Ah Xiu couldn't help but comfort him, in fact, Chen Lao was only in his sixties, and he himself was well maintained, so he really didn't look old.
At least Ah Xiu felt that his father was standing beside him, and he didn't look very young.
"Alas, I studied in the medical hall for many years before I could slowly prescribe some small prescriptions." Chen Lao said with some emotion, it is really endless to learn, and he is still too satisfied with the status quo.
Chen Lao thought of the medicinal tea he had sold in front of Ah Xiu before, and his old face suddenly turned red, presumably she was not looking down on her, no wonder her expression was so flat just now.
It's just to save face for yourself, that's why you say that.
It can only be said that sometimes people's brain supplements are too terrible.
Ah Xiu is obviously just not very interested in this!
"Old Chen's medical skills are obvious to everyone." Ah Xiu doesn't think that her current self can be compared with Chen Lao, she feels that her medical skills are still very immature!
When Chen Lao heard this, he only felt even more sad.
There was a feeling of being comforted by a little girl.
Ah Xiu didn't understand, the more he talked about it, the more depressed Chen Lao's expression became.
If you think about what you said, there's nothing wrong with it, right?
Aren't you boasting straightforward enough?
"I've always heard people talk about your medical skills, Old Chen, you are the first in the town, and many people have traveled thousands of miles to come to you to see a doctor." Ah Xiu thought for a moment before continuing, it shouldn't be a problem for him to say so.
This old man is really, he can't tell that he is such a person who loves to listen to compliments on weekdays!
But the more Ah Xiu said this, the more Old Chen's face became unbearable.
I'm so old, I can't even be indifferent, it's better than A Xiu as a little girl.
is young, and his medical skills are extraordinary, but he looks at fame and fortune very lightly.
Not only is her medical skills not as good as that of such a little girl, but she is also not as good as her mentality.
A deep sense of frustration hit Old Chen's heart.
"Listen to Zhu, take off the plaque on the door." Chen Lao thought for a while and shouted outside the house, he had lived so much that he couldn't see through these fame and fortune.
Now I have to be woken up by a little girl.
"Master, is something wrong?" Tingzhu was shocked when he heard that Chen Lao was going to take off the plaque hanging on the door that read "Hanging pot to help the world".
You must know that this plaque is a few years ago, Chen Lao saved hundreds of people during the epidemic, and those people jointly sent it, and I heard that the inscription was still a very famous talent back then, and Chen Lao cherished it the most on weekdays.
Once it was windy and rainy, they would inevitably have to step on a ladder to scrub the plaque on the second day.
Now when Tingzhu heard that Chen Lao was going to take off the plaque that he valued so much, he had a feeling that the sky was about to fall.
"It's okay, you take it off quickly and put it in the house." Chen Lao only felt panic on his face when he saw the plaque now.
I'm so old, and I'm still enjoying those false names, really, really, alas......
Listening to Zhu is the most obedient on weekdays, although he was surprised when he heard the words, he didn't dare to ask anything, and he was going to pick up the plaque after moving the ladder.
It's just that the movement is a little bigger, and it also attracts Tingmei Tingju in the other room.
"Listen to bamboo, what are you doing, it didn't rain yesterday, you don't need to scrub!" Listening to Mei asking, and then looking at Zhu's movements, he was actually taking off the plaque, and he was immediately shocked.
"Hey, listen to Zhu, you're dying, the lord cherishes this plaque the most, that's the heart of hundreds of people, how did you take it off!" Listening to Mei's voice was very loud, and it directly reached the ears of Ah Xiu who was sitting in the room.
Tingju is also shouting below, let Tingzhu not pick it, otherwise it will have to be beaten.
Chen Lao listened inside, his whole old face turned red, and he scolded a few subordinates who couldn't look at their faces in his heart, and his eyes were embarrassed to look at Ah Xiu and them again.
Listening to the movement, a smile flashed quickly in his originally slightly closed eyes, this old man is quite funny.
Ah Xiu saw that it was very noisy outside, and looked at Chen Lao a little blankly: "What are you doing when you take off this good plaque?" "When she entered the house just now, she noticed at first glance that this was the glory of a healer, why should she take it off!
"I don't think it's interesting to hang outside." Chen Lao was naturally embarrassed to say what he really thought in his heart, otherwise he would really be laughed at.
The effort to make a cup of tea outside finally stopped, and Tingzhu finally took off the plaque, wiped it again, and then took it in and asked where Chen Lao put it.
"You can put it in my study." Chen Lao Weng said.
Originally, this was the patient's intention to give him, and he put it in the study to see it alone, and he was happy, but he hung it out, and he had to hang it on the most eye-catching door, which was not showing off to the world!
The most important thing for a doctor is a normal heart, and I can't see through it at my age, I'm really ashamed.
If Ah Xiu knew what Old Chen was thinking now, he would have to laugh.
This doctor is also an ordinary person, and it is most normal to have seven emotions and six desires.
And as long as it's a person, where you don't like to be praised.
When one of her patients was discharged from the hospital, she brought a pennant herself, but she found a hammer and hung it in the most conspicuous place in the office.
Looking at it every day, my mood is a little better, and I look at it more, and I am motivated to work! (To be continued......)
