Chapter 160: Receiving Disciples
"Sister-in-law, why are you here, come and sit on the kang!"
"When I went to the market in the morning, I bought a pound of walnut cake and brought it to you to taste." Li Suxin said embarrassedly.
According to Xie Xiaonian's understanding, sister-in-law is not like a person who will buy this kind of snack without anything, so she said directly: "Sister-in-law, if you have something, just say it directly, and be polite to me." ”
"Then I'll say it bluntly, that's the case, didn't Orchid see you running medicine and wine two days ago, and then I was very interested in this, so let me ask you to see if I can worship you as a teacher and follow you to study medicine." After Li Suxin finished speaking, she carefully glanced at Xie Xiaonian's face a few times, and saw that she didn't have a black face, so her worried heart was put down a little.
"Isn't Orchid still in school?" Xie Xiaonian asked suspiciously.
"You also know the situation of the school, you can go or not, as long as you go and get your graduation certificate when the time comes. But you don't have to be too embarrassed, if you can't spread it, forget it, I know that this kind of family medicine is usually not passed on. Li Suxin thought that Xie Xiaonian was embarrassed to refuse, so he asked about Orchid's studies.
"There is nothing that is not passed on, my grandfather also hopes to carry forward Chinese medicine, but at that time, there was no apprenticeship, but you look at my second uncle, now in addition to the children in the family, isn't he also teaching a few young men in their brigade to learn medicine, but I have to ask Orchid some questions to determine whether to teach her or not."
Although Xie Xiaonian felt that Orchid was simple-minded and kind, if she studied medicine, she would definitely be a person with medical ethics, but persistence and love were also very important factors, and she didn't want the first apprentice she accepted would give up halfway.
"Okay, okay, I'll call Orchid over, it's a big deal to accept apprentices, and it's also appropriate to take the school exam." When Li Suxin saw Xie Xiaonian say that he could teach others, a big smile immediately appeared on his face, and he went back to find the orchid excitedly.
In less than 5 minutes, Orchid was pulled closer to Xie Xiaonian's house by her mother.
Xie Xiaonian saw that Orchid had put on her latest clothes, and her hair was combed very neatly, obviously prepared in advance, so she nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing Orchid standing cramped in the room, her hands kept stirring the corners of her clothes, and her sister-in-law was also looking at herself with a longing face, Xie Xiaonian said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I'll just ask a few questions." ”
"Well, you ask, you ask, I'll go out and wait." After speaking, Li Suxin walked out of the hall quickly, not delaying them.
"Traditional Chinese medicine is not something that can be learned in a day or two, and the learning process is also very boring, and going up the mountain to collect medicine is even more arduous and dangerous, can you bear it?" Xie Xiaonian asked solemnly.
"I can, auntie, I promise to study hard and I won't disgrace you." Orchid assured seriously, and her eyes burst with a blazing light, so she almost didn't raise her hand and swear.
"No accident, I'm going to join the army next fall, so if you follow me to learn, I can only teach you hand-in-hand in less than a year, if you don't understand anything in the future, although you can go to my second uncle to ask, but most of the time, you still have to teach yourself, you are sure that you have such strong self-discipline." Actually, I can introduce you to my second uncle, in that case, you may learn better, and his clinical experience is much richer than mine. ”
"I just want to learn from my aunt, follow my second uncle and grandfather, although I can learn for a longer time, but he has several apprentices, and our progress is not the same, if you add me, how tired the second uncle and grandfather are." And just like my aunt said, I can learn from you first, and when you join the army, if I have any questions, I can also ask my second uncle and grandfather. After thinking about it, Orchid said seriously.
"Since you are willing to learn from me, I will accept you. But I said ugly things ahead, although I don't care if a person is smart or not, but I care very much about her learning attitude, once I start, I am not allowed to give up. If you're not diligent enough, or you're afraid of hardship, then I'll really beat you up. After speaking, Xie Xiaonian picked up the ring ruler she had just placed on the kang.
This ring ruler is still the one that the original owner's grandfather beat her at that time, but she didn't expect that after her grandfather died, it would still be useful one day.
"If there's anything wrong with me, auntie, it's not right, it should be the master, the master, you can do it casually." Seeing that Xie Xiaonian agreed, Orchid said excitedly.
"It's better to call it aunt, it's a little awkward to call the master. You take this "Soup Song" back first, and before dinner tomorrow, memorize the first 10 until the melons are ripe, and I will test you then. The book is in traditional Chinese, and if you don't know it, ask me and your grandfather, or look up the dictionary. Xie Xiaonian felt that it was more pleasant to call Aunt Xiao.
Because Xu's father learned traditional Chinese characters when he was in school, he also knew the characters in the book.
And Xie Xiaonian asked Orchid to memorize the soup song first, also because she didn't know how to teach others, so she could only teach it according to the method that the original owner's grandfather taught the original owner.
"Thank you, Auntie, I'll go back and carry it now." After Orchid took the book, she hugged it carefully and ran home excitedly.
Li Suxin, who had been observing the movement in the house at the door, also heard the movement inside, and after seeing the orchid running home, he happily lifted the curtain, entered the hall, and said to Xie Xiaonian: "Xiaonian, if the orchid is not good at learning, you can fight, if you can't do it, just tell me, I will help you teach her." ”
If Orchid learns from Xiao Nian, if he has a craft in the future, he will not have to live by earning work alone, and it will be easier to say goodbye in the future.
"I think Orchid wants to learn from the bottom of her heart, and she is also a person who can calm down, maybe she will learn very well by then!" Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.
"It's better to be like this, or else, see how I clean her up." Although Li Suxin said so, she didn't worry too much, her daughter has never let her worry about it since she was a child, and I believe that she will definitely be able to learn well this time.
"That's right, tomorrow the team will kill the New Year's pig, you have breakfast early tomorrow, and then go to help together, by the way, don't forget to bring your dishes and chopsticks, we will eat the pig killing dish together at noon." Li Suxin remembered what her father-in-law said when he came back from a meeting just now, and said happily.
"I'll kill it tomorrow, that's great, I'll definitely go over early." Xie Xiaonian remembered that she was at her grandmother's house when she was a child, and she was also involved in such a thing, but then there were fewer pigs, and she didn't often go back to her hometown, so she never ate it again.
Xie Xiaonian was looking forward to tomorrow's grand occasion, so he didn't even enter the space at night and went to bed early.
And the Xu family's big house is very lively at this time.
Li Suxin watched the orchid while eating, and did not forget to endorse the book, and said with relief: "Keep this momentum, you will definitely be as powerful as your aunt." ”
"Diligence is very important, but you can't eat well, orchid, eat first, and then study hard after eating." Mother Xu saw that the orchid didn't eat for a long time, so she instructed directly.
"Yes, you have to concentrate on everything, you can't do it for two purposes, let's eat well first." Father Xu also said.
Then Xu's father drank a sip of sorghum wine specially taken out by Xu's mother, and then said with a sigh: "Our Xu family is finally going to produce a craftsman!" ”
"What do you mean to finally come out with a craftsman, Xiao Nian is not from our family, you can't say this in front of Xiao Nian, otherwise Xiao Nian will have to think too much." Mother Xu glanced at Father Xu and said unhappily.
"Okay, okay, it should be another one, I said the wrong thing, I'll punish myself!" Father Xu was rarely so happy, laughed and said, and then drank a glass of wine.
"What a self-punishment glass, I think you just want to take the opportunity to have an extra drink." Mother Xu is well aware of Father Xu's temperament.
"Orchid is also apprenticed now, although it can't be apprenticed like before, but the apprenticeship ceremony still has to be given, his father, what do you say to send." Xu Mu continued.
"When I went to private school when I was a child, I had to give six gifts, but now I don't like this, and I can't do this, otherwise I will be reported. Wait for tomorrow's meat to be divided, you go and send 2 catties of red dates and 2 catties of meat to Xiao Nian, just have this meaning, but you can't say to the outside world that this is a teacher ceremony. Father Xu said after thinking about it.
"I think Dad arranged it very well, and it will be done tomorrow." Xu Zhongming continued.
Orchid looked at the way the elders planned for herself, and made up her mind that she must study hard.
Early the next morning, Xie Xiaonian was woken up by the heart-rending sound of pigs.
Thinking of killing the New Year's pig today, Xie Xiaonian didn't lie in bed like before, and went directly to the space to drink a glass of milk, ate two pastries, and walked to his sister-in-law's house with the chopsticks and tea jar he had prepared.
When Xie Xiaonian arrived, the sister-in-law's house had just had breakfast, and several people were preparing to catch pigs and load them on the cart.
"Mother, don't you want to kill the pigs in the production team first?" Xie Xiaonian asked suspiciously.
"This pig is to be handed in, this year our family will not kill pigs, only sheep." Because when Xie Xiaonian got married, the other pig in the family had already been killed, so they didn't kill the New Year's pig during the Chinese New Year this year.
"Is the pork in the brigade enough for the New Year?" Xie Xiaonian also remembered the previous incident and asked worriedly.
"Your second sister-in-law's family killed pigs this year, and her family will definitely send us some when the time comes, and then I will buy some more to entertain the guests, and there is still a sheep killed at home, and the family can at least leave a leg of mutton this year." Mother Xu said indifferently.
"Big brother and dad go to the buying station to deliver pigs together?"
"No, your eldest brother will go by himself, and your father will go to the team to help kill the pigs."
In this way, except for the orchid who has to stay at home to endorse the book, everyone else has to go out, the adults have to go to work, and the children have to play in the open space while waiting to eat meat.
"Mother, isn't it the afternoon to kill the livestock of the members, what are you doing with the sheep!" As soon as he went out, Xie Xiaonian asked again suspiciously.
