Zhou Xiaonan's apprenticeship ceremony was simple and low-key, mainly because Nan Rongyuanzhi didn't like those fancy things.

If he had followed his idea, he would have just had a cup of tea and called it a day.

In order to show her importance, Zhou Xiaoxi invited all the people she knew from this time and space. Doctor Zhang even closed the clinic for a day for the first time and brought his granddaughter Zhang Jiaojiao to the village.

Yang Zian also squeezed out time from his busy schedule to come to the scene.

Zhou Xiaoxi also invited Li Shoucai over.

Since the whole family moved to this village, they have been able to settle down thanks to him. Zhou Xiaoxi respects this village head who is dedicated to the welfare of the people from the bottom of his heart.

The location was chosen to be the dining hall of the inn, which was the largest and most convenient place in the whole village.

When everything was ready, a cushion was placed on the ground in front of Nan Rongyuanzhi. Zhou Xiaonan, dressed in silver-white brocade, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed three times.

It was Zhou Xiaoxi's idea to choose the silver-white clothes.

There was no clothing representative of doctors here, but the white coat she wore as a doctor in her previous life was deeply rooted in everyone's heart. So she prepared clothes of this color for her sister.

Zhou Xiaonan took the hot tea brought by the girl, raised it above his head, and said obediently:

"Master, please have tea."

Nan Rongyuanzhi did not rush to take it, but said very seriously:

"Xiao Nan, do you know what a doctor's benevolence is?"

"As a doctor, you need to have a heart of benevolence and justice. You need to care about the people of the world and have compassion for them."

Zhou Xiaonan did not lower his arm and his attitude was very respectful.

Nan Rongyuanzhi still had no intention of taking the teacup, but continued to teach:

“It’s not wrong for a doctor to be kind-hearted, but if you want to be my disciple, Nan Rongyuanzhi, you still need to be cold-hearted.

Birth, aging, illness and death are common to all people; joy and sorrow, separation and reunion are inevitable in this world. You are a human being, not a god. If there is a time when you are powerless, you must treat it as normal.

Do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes, I will remember Master's teachings. There are countless difficult and complicated diseases in the world, and Xiaonan is just one of the countless living beings. There will be many times when I am powerless."

Only then did Nan Rongyuanzhi finally nod with satisfaction, took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, which showed how satisfied he was with his disciple.

Li, who was standing by, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that the child would say something wrong or would lose control and drop the teacup.

Shangguan Yunxin couldn't help but sigh:

"Nan Rong is a very insightful and wise doctor. This is the first time I've heard of the expression 'cold-hearted and cold-hearted'."

“Everyone is afraid of mediocre doctors misleading people, but few people can consider the problem from the perspective of a doctor. If you can’t learn to detach yourself and always empathize with the patient, you will get sick after a while.”

Zhou Xiaoxi also felt deeply moved.

Doctor Zhang couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. He had always been very optimistic about Xiaoxi. He was even more satisfied to hear her words. It was a great regret in his life that he couldn't get her to study medicine!

Xuanyuan Yan, who was listening to this, also raised his eyebrows, and was very surprised by Zhou Xiaoxi's unique remarks. It seemed that her ideas were always different from others, and they made sense to him.

After completing the apprenticeship ceremony, Zhou Xiaonan took out the gift she had prepared long ago. She had been troubled by this matter for a long time, and she had nothing of her own, so she really didn't know what to give.

After much thought, Zhou Xiaoxi finally suggested that she crochet a vest for the old man with cotton thread, and also made a large stack of cotton masks.

Nan Rongyuanzhi opened it and asked in confusion:

"Why doesn't this dress have sleeves? The material is also very strange." But it feels soft, warm and comfortable.

"This is a design that my sister came up with. You can't buy it outside. Master, try it on. It can protect your heart, lungs and lower back very well. It's very warm."

Nan Rongyuanzhi was skeptical, but put on this unique cotton vest with the help of Zhou Xiaonan.

In order to match the local costumes, Zhou Xiaoxi designed it to be super long, reaching the ankles. Except for the fact that there are too many buttons, it does not look out of place when worn over a long gown.

There is a large pocket sewn on each side. Nan Rongyuanzhi said with a smile:

"Why are there two extra pieces of cloth? Did you forget to seal it?"

"Haha, Master, you misunderstood. This is a pocket for carrying things. You can put a small packet of silver needles in it. If you encounter an emergency, you can use it at hand. But remember to wrap it with cowhide, be careful not to prick yourself!

You can also put some change or snacks in it, and you can put your hands in it to keep warm when it’s cold. In short, it has many uses.”

Nan Rongyuanzhi cooperated and put his hand in. It was really warm. But his movements were a little weird.

He reached out and picked up a mask, looking at it over and over again, very puzzled:

"What is this?"

Zhou Xiaonan simply took one and put it on his face, tying the strap tightly behind his head. He said in a muffled voice:

"Master, this is how it is used. My sister said that as doctors, we are in contact with patients all day long, so it is inevitable that we will encounter some people with infectious diseases. Wearing this mask can prevent some of them."

Nan Rongyuanzhi's eyes lit up after hearing this. This method is very good. Before, they could only cover their mouths and noses with towels, but using this thing is much more convenient, and it does not delay the movements of the hands.

"Okay, I'll accept it. You and your sister have put in a lot of effort."

Then he took out a small and exquisite jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Zhou Xiaonan:

"There are three jade pendants in total, one of which was given to your sister. It represents the identity of a master, and all the Huichuntang in our Da'an country recognize this item.

"This package contains the medical book I promised you. Although it is a handwritten copy, it is still extremely valuable. From now on, you must memorize the contents of the book by heart. Do you remember?"

Zhou Xiaonan took the two things and nodded heavily.

At this point, the apprenticeship ceremony was over. Everyone took their seats and the food was quickly served on the table.

Li Shoucai looked at Zhou Xiaonan and said:

"Our Xiangxue Village will definitely have a female healer in the future. It's really the blessing of our ancestors! I was too busy recently and didn't have time to take care of her. Xiaonan, it's time for you and Xiaoxi girl to change your surname to your mother's and enter our Li family's genealogy! Hahaha..."

Li immediately looked at Zhao, wanting to see her mother's attitude.

Zhao said nothing. She just looked at Baili Nanqing, her mother and her son, and nodded slowly.

Shangguan Song immediately understood what she meant, stood up, walked to Li Shoucai, bowed and said:

"I am the eldest son of the Shangguan family. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you something. Xiaoxi is actually the daughter of our Shangguan family who was living away from home. Now we have recognized each other.

Therefore, sister Xiaonan can take her mother's surname, and Xiaoxi will be included in the family tree of our Shangguan family.

You have always been very caring towards my younger sister, and I would like to thank you, Head of the Village.”

Shangguan Lan and Shangguan Yunxin also walked forward and bowed respectfully together with their elder brother.

Li Shoucai was so shocked that his eyes and mouth opened wide, and he could not speak for a long time. It was Li Lanxiang who tugged at her father's sleeve and whispered:

"Dad, why are you standing there? Speak quickly!"

"Oh, oh, I don't deserve it. I have to thank Xiaoxi for doing so many good things for the village.

Alas, no wonder Xiaoxi doesn't look like a villager at all, it turns out that she has such a noble origin! She is the lucky star of our Xiangxue Village!"

Since then, Zhou Xiaoxi's identity has spread throughout the village.

At first, some people were very excited and would nervously dodge when they met Zhou Xiaoxi on the road. Later, when they saw that she treated them no differently than before, they gradually calmed down.
