Meng Yan's Transformation

During the slack season or when farm work was not too busy, Zhan Yingying would be sent by Yunqing to her cousin Yunhan's barber shop to learn how to cut hair.

After Zhan Yingying became her cousin Yunhan's apprentice, in order to learn more skills, she also helped her cousin's family with housework, such as washing clothes and cooking.

When Zhan Mengyan comes home to rest on the weekend, Zhan Yingying takes Zhan Mengyan's practice first. The feather duster at home is also Zhan Yingying's practice object.

My cousin's mother passed away many years ago, and my cousin Yunhan lives with five children.

My cousin was from the county seat and was sent down to Xinxing Township. Before he was sent down, his eldest son had already married and his eldest daughter also married a family surnamed Kong in the suburbs of the county seat. My cousin brought his second son Yun Dawen, third son Yun Daren, and fourth son Yun Daqing to Houyao Village, Xinxing Township to settle down. My cousin Yunhan opened a barber shop in front of the guesthouse of Xinxing Township Government to support his family.

The second son, Yundawen, was a little mentally retarded and was assigned by the Houyao Village Committee to work as a cattle herder. While herding cattle, Yundawen played too much and ran around so much that he fell asleep in the grass ditch. He caught a cold, and his mouth was crooked, and his fingers could not be straightened. Fortunately, although his mouth was crooked, he could still speak and shout, but the ten fingers of both hands were bent and could not be straightened. However, he could no longer hold the whip normally and whip the wandering cattle. However, every day when he herded cattle, he persevered in practicing using his disabled hands to whip the cattle to drive them away. Fortunately, he was well-trained in normal times, so even if he could not whip the cattle, the cattle would hear Yundawen's shouting and follow the lead cattle in an orderly manner.

The third son Yundaren and the fourth son Yundaqing were not very smart either. After graduating from primary school, they were persuaded to drop out of junior high school just a few days after entering junior high school.

After Yun Daren retired from school, he and Yun Dawen started herding cattle together. After Yun Daqing dropped out of school, he started learning hairdressing from his father Yunhan.

One day, Yunhan and Yundaqing ran into Yunqing on the street. The cousins ​​hadn't seen each other for many years, so they reminisced about the past. Yundaqing, introduced by her father, recognized Yunqing as her aunt. From then on, Yundaqing always went to Yunqing's house whenever she had something to do. Yundaqing also often brought her third brother Yundaren and second brother Yundawen to ask her aunt to make them delicious food, or help them make clothes, sew and mend, etc. After a long time, Yunqing asked Zhan Yingying to learn hairdressing from her fourth cousin Yuncunqing and her uncle Yunhan when she was not busy with farm work at home.

Yun Daqing was fascinated by the medical books at Yunqing's aunt's house.

"Uncle, my cousin Zhan Yingying is learning hairdressing from my dad. Now she can help my dad. Can you teach me medicine? I like acupuncture and massage very much. Please teach me acupuncture first. I have learned acupuncture and want to give acupuncture to my second brother Yun Dawen. I can straighten his crooked mouth and make his fingers that couldn't be straightened stretch freely through acupuncture..."

Ever since Yun Daqing saw Zhan Yu's medical book, he knew that his eldest uncle was a famous doctor. He admired him so much that he decided not to learn hairdressing from his father. He came to Zhan Yu every day and asked to learn medicine.

"My fourth nephew, studying medicine is much more difficult than learning to be a hairdresser. It takes time to build a strong body. You haven't even learned to be a hairdresser yet. It takes several years or even decades to learn medicine. I have to learn every day. To be a medical worker, I have to work and learn until I'm old. It's not as easy as you think. How long can you persist?"

When Zhan Yu spoke to Yun Daqing, he expressed deep doubts about his enthusiasm for studying medicine.

"Uncle, please teach me. I will not give up on learning hairdressing and will continue to learn. But I also want to learn acupuncture from you. Uncle, please teach me..."

Yun Daqing begged Zhan Yu.

Zhan Yu finally couldn't stand Yun Daqing's constant nagging and gave him a booklet on acupuncture and asked him to go back and study hard for his master's degree.

Yun Daqing happily took the acupuncture booklet home as if it were a treasure.

After returning home, Yun Daqing began to study the acupuncture booklet day and night, and studied the human acupuncture points in the booklet.
