I wrote down the prescription I got from Lao Hu, and then told her to stop the previous medicine, and then take the medicine according to the prescription for three months, and not stop the medicine in between.

Maybe it's because I have a "relationship" with the police, Xiaodong's mother is still more willing to believe me, and she even thinks that I should be a military doctor in the army.

I can only digress the topic with a dry laugh, I don't want to explain it so clearly. Misunderstanding is misunderstanding, anyway, this kind of misunderstanding is not a bad thing, but it can make her believe in me more.

"I'm going to help mom get medicine!" Suddenly, Xiaodong grabbed the prescription and ran out happily.

Xiaodong's mother scolded: "Xiaodong, don't mess around!" ”

"I'm not messing around, I go every time I grab medicine, I won't catch it wrong!" As he spoke, he had already rushed out of the room.

Xiaodong's mother smiled a little ashamedly: "This kid is really disobedient." But he was right, after we came here, his dad only took him to grab the medicine once, and he went every time he grabbed the medicine after that. ”

The children of poor families are in charge of the family early, and this sentence is not wrong at all. When other children are so old, they may still be in kindergarten carefree, but Xiaodong runs between the pharmacy and home every day, and often boils medicine for his mother.

"What, I'll go out and take a look, I'm afraid he caught the wrong medicine." After a few more conversations, I made an excuse and walked out of the room.

On the one hand, we are alone and widowed in the same room, which is indeed a little inappropriate, and I still understand the truth of melons and plums.

On the other hand, I really don't believe Xiaodong, he is still just a child after all. If the medicine is caught wrong, it will definitely affect the treatment, and it may even make Xiaodong's mother's condition more serious.

The nearest pharmacy was also ten minutes away, and by the time I caught up, Xiaodong was already asking the boss to grab the medicine.

To my surprise, Xiaodong didn't look at my prescription at all, and directly reported all the medicinal materials I wrote, and even said exactly how many grams were not wrong at all.

I stood quietly outside the door and watched for a while, Xiaodong, this kid is really smart, when the boss was weighing, he was also staring intently, I don't know if he can really understand.

After grabbing the medicine, I walked in, and then picked up the herbs and looked at them.

There is nothing wrong with the medicinal materials, although the quality is not particularly good, but it is barely enough. There is basically no error in the amount of medicinal materials, and the subtle errors are completely negligible.

"Uncle, why are you here?" Xiaodong looked at me with some surprise.

I feigned anger and said, "What did you just do? Why didn't you read the prescription I wrote when I asked my boss to take the herbs? ”

"I ...... I've memorized it all. Xiaodong muttered.

Of course, I have already guessed this, Xiaodong, this kid is very smart, and his memory is very good.

I just chatted casually with Xiaodong's mother, and she told me that after giving birth to Xiaodong, she caught up with the flood in her hometown, and soaked in the flood for a few days, but finally fell ill in confinement.

The only thing that Xiaodong's mother is happy about is that nothing happened to Xiaodong in the flood, and he is much smarter and more sensible than ordinary children.

Although Xiaodong has not gone to school yet, under the guidance of his mother, he has already recognized a lot of words, otherwise Xiaodong's mother would not have worried that he would take the medicine himself.

Of course, it's a good thing for children to be smart, but I don't want to see Xiaodong ruined in the future. He now relies on his good memory to completely ignore the prescription, and it is very likely that he will develop carelessness and arrogance in the future, which is not a good thing.

I educated Xiaodong a few words and told him to be serious in whatever he does in the future. Xiaodong nodded again and again, not daring to refute my words, and said that he would pay attention to it in the future.

"You're a relative of theirs, right? This kid has a good brain, especially in medicine, and I used to borrow a medical book from him, and he himself can read a lot of things in the dictionary. The pharmacy owner said to me with a smile.

When he said this, he just wanted me not to continue to punish Xiaodong. But after hearing his words, my heart moved, and I thought of another possibility.

Is Xiaodong really talented in medicine? Will he be able to go down this path in the future?

Lao Hu left his inheritance to me before he died, but I didn't have much interest in medicine. I promise Lao Hu that in the future, I will definitely choose a suitable successor to pass on his medical skills.

"Are you sure he's gifted in medicine?" I didn't rush to leave, but I was going to talk to the owner of the pharmacy first.

The owner of the pharmacy is also a doctor himself, although his medical skills may not be too clever, but after being in this industry for a long time, he will have some experience and vision.

After all, my contact with Xiaodong is too short, and it should be easier to get some of the information I want from the mouth of this pharmacy owner.

I told the pharmacy owner that if Xiaodong really had the talent to study medicine, I would let him continue to study medicine and become a real doctor in the future.

It is a child's future and future, and the pharmacy owner does not dare to joke about such things. His expression became serious, and after recalling it carefully, he nodded solemnly.

"This matter is definitely not a joke, Xiaodong, this child, is really talented in medicine. To be honest, at first I thought he was just smarter, so he could read and write quickly, but then I found out that ......"

Speaking of which, the owner recounted what happened some time ago.

The boss had already said that Xiaodong was a smarter child, and he gave Xiaodong a medical book on traditional Chinese medicine, just to send the child to read.

After all, there are no other books to read here, and Xiaodong still reads a medical book with relish.

When encountering words he doesn't know, Xiaodong will look up the dictionary by himself, and then ask the adults.

What the owner of the pharmacy didn't expect was that a few days later, a customer came to grab the medicine. At that time, the boss was not there, and it was the salesman who helped catch it, and there was something wrong with the dosage of the medicine.

Xiaodong, who also came to the pharmacy to grab medicine, saw the problem and pointed out the problem.

At first, the salesperson at the pharmacy was very unconvinced, thinking that Xiaodong was just a little kid and didn't understand anything.

In the end, it turned out that it was indeed the salesman who made a mistake under carelessness. Through this little thing, the shopkeeper felt that Xiaodong's child was indeed very talented in medicine.

"Ordinary people can't even remember the names of those Chinese medicinal materials, but Xiaodong actually wrote down most of the names of the medicinal materials in our store."

"If it weren't for the fact that traditional Chinese medicine has become more and more sluggish over the years, I really hope that Xiaodong, a child, can follow me and let me pass on my medical skills to him."

The owner of the pharmacy was extremely emotional, he was right, under the impact of Western medicine in recent years, the industry of traditional Chinese medicine has indeed become more and more sluggish.

I can empathize with this, it's not that Chinese medicine is impossible, it's just that ordinary people are afraid of being deceived.

Just like our onmyoji, some old men dare to say what kind of half-immortal or living immortal they are as long as they wear sunglasses and go to a lively place to set up a stall at will.

Ordinary people can't tell who has the real ability, and after being deceived, they will only overturn a boatload of people with a rod, and feel that all Mr. Yin and Yang are liars.

What makes me feel ridiculous is that there are people who believe in the so-called "computer fortune telling" and do not want to believe Mr. Yin and Yang.

The situation of traditional Chinese medicine is similar to ours, after ordinary people are cheated by some deceitful fake Chinese medicine, they no longer believe in traditional Chinese medicine, and one admires Western medicine.

I admit that Western medicine is indeed more suitable for modern people in many ways, and there are many merits.

However, in some respects, Western medicine will never be as good as Chinese medicine.

"Boss, don't say that. If Xiaodong's kid is really talented, you can teach him more in the future, and let him apply for medical school when he grows up. I smiled and persuaded.

After understanding the basic situation of Xiaodong, I have made a decision. After some investigation, if the conditions are met, I will hand over all the inheritance of Lao Hu to Xiaodong.

This kid has a good heart, coupled with his talent, he is indeed qualified to inherit Lao Hu's inheritance.

"Xiaodong, would you like to become a doctor? Saving lives in the future? On the way back to the little owner's house, I asked seriously.

Xiaodong did not answer this question directly, but thought for a while and asked: "If I become a doctor, will many patients like my mother be cured by me in the future?" ”

I smiled and nodded: "Of course, but the premise is that you have to study medicine well and not be lazy." ”

Xiao Dong's eyes revealed a hint of firmness, and he nodded: "I will definitely work hard, and I will definitely not be lazy!" I want to be a doctor and cure all patients! ”

Looking at Xiaodong's solemn appearance, I was a little dumbfounded.

Healing all the sick is just a good wish. In this world, no one can avoid birth, old age, sickness and death, and no one can cure all the diseases of everyone.

But as long as Xiaodong has this heart, I believe that he can indeed become a qualified and excellent doctor in the future.

After returning to Xiaodong's house, I told Xiaodong's mother the news. Not surprisingly, Xiaodong's mother was also very happy with the child's idea.

The only trouble is that their family is so poor that they don't have the money to send Xiaodong to school.

Although elementary school students have been exempted from tuition and fees, it is still more troublesome for a rural child to go to school in the city.

"It's not a problem, as long as your medication is not interrupted, I guarantee that you will be able to make a full recovery after three months! Things will be much better for your family, and I have good news for you, there will soon be a new elementary school in the neighborhood. I said with a smile.

There are also some school-age children in their village, but they used to live in the mountains, and they didn't have the opportunity to get an education at all.

After finally leaving the mountains, they had to slowly adapt to this society, and the matter of going to school was naturally promoted to the agenda.

Of course, the education of these children must not be the same as that of ordinary children.

After some consideration, we are going to build a new primary school nearby, mainly for the children in the Bloody Mother-in-law's village. Of course, some children from poor families in the neighborhood can also go to school for free.

In the future, Xiaodong can go to that pharmacy to study in addition to school, and he will be able to better master medical skills when someone guides him.
