Chapter 18 Learning Chinese Medicine
Afternoon.
Mark didn't have a class.
He secretly speculated in the office and quickly completed the transaction.
He took out a book on Chinese medicine, and was about to read it when the phone rang.
"Hey, Xiaomi, why did you remember to call me?" Mark laughed.
"Second uncle, you forgot that I was going to introduce you to Chinese medicine."
"I didn't forget, I'm reading a medical book, waiting for you to contact me."
The two laughed.
"Second uncle, are you free this afternoon? Shall I take you to see Grandpa Zhang? Wang Xiaomi asked.
"If you have time, you can tell me a place, and I'll go find you." Mark laughed.
"Then you'll be in an hour, come..., I'll be waiting for you at the Fugui Teahouse next to me." Wang Xiaomi said with a smile.
"Okay."
...
Nirvana Teahouse.
"Second uncle, I'm here." Wang Xiaomi hurriedly beckoned.
The teahouse is a quiet place, and her voice attracts the attention of many people. Fortunately, she is a beauty, and no one cares.
"Be quiet, everyone doesn't talk much, you see you." Mark hurriedly walked over and whispered.
"Oops, I just forgot. Second uncle, let me take you to Grandpa Zhang's house first, he is an old Chinese medicine doctor, and he usually helps people see doctors at home, and his medical skills are good. Wang Xiaomi leaned into Mark's ear, exhaled like an orchid, and said in a low voice.
"Alright, let's go." Mark laughed.
"Second uncle, Grandpa Zhang's house is a big quadrangle, and all the houses in it belong to theirs, and now they have been changed into wards."
"The big courtyard is comfortable, is there a lot of his family?"
"Not much, Grandpa Zhang's family has gone abroad, so he doesn't want to go out, so he stays at home and treats people."
"Shouldn't we buy something? It's not appropriate to go empty-handed, right? ”
"Just buy some fruit. Grandpa Zhang is a good person and doesn't like to receive gifts. ”
"Okay. How's the beauty salon going? ”
"I checked a lot last night, and I plan to interview a few companies for part-time jobs later."
"It's good. Xiaomi, I'm optimistic about you, come on, you will be a strong white-collar woman in the future. ”
"Haha, thank you, Second Uncle. By the way, second uncle, have you reconciled with your second aunt? ”
"Nope."
"Why not reconcile? You still have two children, even for the sake of the children, you can't divorce like this, right? It's not good for a child who grew up in a single-parent family. ”
"I don't want to do that either. But the two of us don't have the same personalities, and if we continue to make do, it will hurt the children even more. ”
"In this way, second uncle, then you have to find a good stepmother, don't let the two children be bullied."
"You're right. It's just that this stepmother is not easy to find. ”
"Second uncle, you are so handsome, there must be a lot of aunts who like it."
...
The two were talking and laughing as they walked down an alley.
A moment later.
They carried a lot of fruit and walked to a courtyard house with three entrances and three exits.
"This gate is nicely decorated." Mark was surprised.
An antique gate is presented in front of Mark's eyes, and there is a couplet hanging on both sides of the gate, the upper couplet: Mutual aid and the same boat only seek people to be less sick, and the lower couplet: Xianghe benevolence does not worry about medicine and dust.
"Yes, second uncle, this grandfather is rich, I heard that this decoration cost a lot of money." Wang Xiaomi said in a low voice.
"Doctors have money, and patients rush to give money." Mark laughed.
The door was not closed, and I walked into the courtyard.
There were quite a few patients lining up quietly.
An old doctor with a ruddy face and a somewhat gray beard was sitting in the lobby of the East House, treating patients.
"Second uncle, there are a lot of people, let's wait for a while." Wang Xiaomi said in a low voice.
"Okay."
The two found a stone bench in the courtyard and sat down, and Wang Xiaomi found the teapot familiar with it and made a pot of tea.
"Xiaomi, you're quite familiar with this place?" Mark asked.
"yes, I lived around here when I was a kid, and our family rented a house. Grandpa Zhang often took care of our family. Later, although my mother and I bought a house and moved away, we often came to visit Grandpa Zhang. Wang Xiaoxiao said.
"It's good." Mark laughed.
"Yes, Grandpa Zhang is fine. I heard my mother say that when my father died, it was Grandpa Zhang who came forward to help deal with the aftermath. Wang Xiaoxiao said.
Wang Xiaomi recalls what happened when she was a child.
Most of them are children who don't have fathers and have suffered a lot.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The patients gradually left, and it was almost the time set by Dr. Zhang, and there were no patients coming later.
"Millet, when did you come?" A kind voice rang out. Dr. Zhang had already walked into the courtyard.
"Grandpa Zhang, I've been here for an hour." Wang Xiaomi hurriedly stood up and said. She was busy chatting with Mark and didn't notice that the patient was gone.
"It's been an hour? What's wrong with you? Dr. Zhang asked.
"Grandpa Zhang, this is my second uncle, he wants to learn Chinese medicine, I'll take him to see if you have time to teach him." Wang Xiaomi said hurriedly.
"Your second uncle? Why haven't I heard of it? Doctor Zhang frowned.
"Oh, Grandpa Zhang, it's not my second uncle, it's..."
"So that's the case, it's pretty good in this later life, and you dare to meddle in things." Dr. Zhang said with a smile. In his eyes, the forty-year-old Mark is also a posterity.
"Doctor Zhang, hello, my name is Mark, I took the liberty to come to disturb, it's rude." Mark said politely.
"It doesn't matter. Since you have helped Xiaomi, then I will help you too, you can follow me to learn for three months, and if there is no progress after three months, you can give up. After all, Chinese medicine is broad and profound, and it is not so easy to learn. Dr. Zhang smiled.
"It's only been three months, Grandpa Zhang, you have to teach my second uncle for at least a year." Wang Xiaomi said urgently.
"Haha, your second uncle is forty years old, three months is about the same as a year, if you want to succeed in learning, it depends on whether he is willing to work hard." Dr. Zhang said with a smile.
"My second uncle is smart, he will definitely be able to learn." Wang Xiaomi said urgently.
"It's useless to learn Chinese medicine just to be smart, you have to have perseverance and perseverance." Dr. Zhang said.
"My second uncle's perseverance and perseverance are very strong."
...
"You take these books first, and then come to me after you memorize them." Dr. Zhang said. He's already started teaching, and the rest is up to Mark.
"Okay, Dr. Zhang." Mark said respectfully. He originally wanted to apprentice, but was stopped by Dr. Zhang. He understood that he was not qualified to apprentice now.
"Grandpa Zhang, will you go to dinner with us?" Wang Xiaomi pulled Dr. Zhang's arm and said coquettishly.
"I'm not going, you young people are going." Dr. Zhang said with a smile.
Waving goodbye, Mark and Wang Xiaomi walked out along the alley.
"Xiaomi, your grandfather Zhang is a good person, as soon as we met, he asked me to memorize the medical book, which is really teaching me with my heart." Mark laughed.
"Second uncle, these books are too thick, can you memorize them?" Wang Xiaomi said worriedly.
"Yes, I'll be able to memorize it." Mark said confidently. He has 15 points of spirit, and his memory is beyond ordinary people, so he will definitely be able to. And he can also add a little spirit to Krypton, to 20, or even more, endorsement is nothing to him.
"Second uncle, I believe you will be able to do it." Wang Xiaomi said vigorously.
"Xiaomi, come on, too." Mark encouraged.
