Chen Tianming lowered his head and said after a while: "Drink the bar, don't talk about this in advance." ”

As she spoke, she personally poured wine for Chen Changyu and Zuo Li, and poured a glass herself.

Zuo Li was a little surprised: "Do you still drink wine?" This liquor has a high degree of alcohol. You're here again with your aunt. ”

Chen Tianming said: "I just want to prove whether your Chinese medicine is useful or not?" So I'm going to have a glass of liquor. If I had drunk during this time, the pain would have been worse and the amount would have been greater. ”

Zuo Li said: "If you drink liquor now, the amount will definitely increase, because after all, wine is to relieve menstruation and invigorate blood." However, the pain does not necessarily increase. ”

"Isn't that a good thing?" She picked up her wine glass and said to Chen Changyu, "Dad, thank you for your good intentions." I don't want that, but I'd like to toast you. ”

Chen Changyu said: "I know that you have always looked down on your father's medical skills in your heart. I always feel that my father is incompetent, so that you affect your view of the whole Chinese medicine. But this time I want you to listen to Zuo Li, for the sake of your body. Otherwise, every time you feel so uncomfortable, Dad feels like a knife in his heart. ”

Chen Tianming didn't say much, picked up the wine glass and took a big sip. She rarely drinks liquor, and this sip of wine is a little urgent, choking her so hard that she coughs so hard that she is lying on the table.

Chen Changyu pointed to her daughter's back and stretched her mouth to the left.

Zuo Li couldn't imagine that Chen Changyu would let her help her daughter pat her on the back, and she couldn't live up to the trust of the old man.

He quickly took a deep breath and pretended to pat Chen Tianming's back lightly.

Fortunately, Chen Tianming was wearing a thick sweater, and he basically only had the feeling of a sweater, but he still felt the heat of her body through the sweater.

Zuo Li only slapped a few times, and Chen Tianming straightened up and waved his hand, his pretty face flushed. I don't know if it's because of coughing or shyness, Chao Zuoli smiled reluctantly: "Thank you!" I'm fine, I drank too much. ”

Chen Changyu sat down with confidence, picked up the wine glass and said to Chen Tianming: "For so many years, this is the first time you have clinked glasses with your father to drink. Okay, I'm done, happy! ”

As he spoke, he tilted his neck and poured a glass of wine into his mouth.

He turned to the left and said, "Won't you sponsor a cup?" ”

Zuo Li hurriedly drank the glass of liquor in his hand.

Chen Tianming looked at his father with disgust: "Dad, we are thanking Zuo Li today, why did he become a sponsor?" It should be rewarded with a cup. ”

Chen Changyu laughed: "You don't drink, you know a lot about this wine." That's right, a bonus cup. Here, fill up, and get a new reward! ”

As he spoke, he personally poured a cup for Zuo Li.

Zuo Li raised his glass in salute and drank it dry again.

Chen Changyu raised his thumb and said, "Very good, I like people who are refreshing at the wine table." ”

However, Chen Tianming only drank a glass of liquor and changed to wine, but despite this, she also drank a little smoky.

At the end of the banquet, Chen Tianming said to his father: "Dad, go back by yourself, I'll go with Zuo Li." ”

Chen Changyu nodded in agreement. Glancing at Zuo Li, Zuo Li smiled a little embarrassed.

Chen Changyu checked out and left, and Zuo Li walked along the street with Chen Tianming.

Zuo Li said: "Where are we going?" ”

"There's a square ahead, let's go sit there."

"Worried about catching a cold, I drank again."

"It's okay, it's okay today, it's not too cold."

So Zuo Li accompanied her to a street garden, which did not occupy a large area, and some old ladies were dancing in the square. The two of them sat down in the shade of a tree.

Chen Tianming pointed to the old lady who was dancing in the square not far away, and said: "In 40 years, I may become one of them, dancing on the street every day to kill time, life is like this." ”

Zuo Li didn't expect her to suddenly sigh with emotion and said, "I don't agree with your opinion. Even in forty years, you won't have time to dance on the streets. At that time, you were already a famous doctor all over the world, and even if you retired, the hospital would hire you to continue to treat people. Take a step back and say that the hospital does not rehire, you stay at home, and there will be an endless stream of people who come to you to ask for a doctor, and it is impossible to have your own time. Maybe even busier than before retirement, and I've seen a lot of old doctors like this all their lives. ”

Chen Tianming sighed: "Maybe, doctors are destined to be laborious." When I was young, I had to read books every moment to improve myself, and I had to cope with various exams. Just like my mother, she is not a doctor, but she is also a toiling life. ”

Zuo Li still heard Chen Tianming mention his mother for the first time, and he was a little curious, and asked, "What does your mother do?" ”

Chen Tianming's voice became low: "Middle school teacher." ”

"Oh, that must be a special teacher in the high school graduating class, right?"

"Don't think about it at a high level. My mom is just an ordinary teacher, and she can't be an ordinary middle school teacher. ”

Zuo Li praised: "An ordinary middle school teacher, but you can train you, Dr. Liuyang of Harvard Medical School in the United States, a super scholar, she is really amazing!" When you took the college entrance examination, your mother must have helped you a lot, right? It's nice to have a mom who is a teacher! ”

Chen Tianming shook his head: "My mother passed away when I graduated from elementary school. ”

Zuo Li smiled stiffly and said, "I'm sorry." ”

"Nothing. - Want to know how my mom died? ”

Zuo Li heard that she actually wanted to say this, so he nodded and looked at her intently.

Chen Tianming sighed: "My mother died of illness, pancreatic cancer. At that time, my father was already a well-known Chinese medicine doctor, and many people came to him for treatment, and the threshold of our family was about to be broken. However, he couldn't cure my mother's illness, and he really watched my mother die in his arms, but there was nothing he could do. - Do you say that Chinese medicine is very incompetent? ”

Zuo Li said: "You can't blame Chinese medicine, pancreatic cancer is the most severe, and Western medicine is basically helpless." ”

Chen Mingming shook his head and said: "It was my father's stubbornness to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment that delayed my mother's treatment, if she went to the hospital for surgery and chemotherapy at that time, she would definitely survive, and she would definitely be able to accompany me until now, and even watch me get married and have children, and enjoy the joy of family." My dad was too tough, so he wouldn't let my mom go to the hospital, so he had to treat himself. ”

Hearing Chen Tianming's tone become heavy, Zuo Li's heart was also heavy.

He began to understand why Chen Tianming's father was a veteran Chinese medicine practitioner who was ranked among the top Chinese medicine practitioners in the country, while she herself had such a deep prejudice against Chinese medicine. It turned out that because her mother was terminally ill, her father Chen Changyu insisted on using traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, instead of using Western medicine, no surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which could not save her life. This incident caused so much trauma in the soul of the teenager Chen Tianming that she became hostile to the entire Chinese medicine practitioner.
