His predecessor failed

Chapter 46 Apprenticeship

No one had any objection when they heard He Qiaojin's words. People who know He Qiaojin know that his greatest strength is that he will definitely do what he says, and he will fulfill his promises no matter how much it costs.

After leaving this sentence, He Qiaojin returned to his room. Ever since Su Zhuzhu lived in his room, he never moved back and has been living in the guest room on the first floor.

He Qiaojin came out with a backpack and went straight to the kitchen, where he grabbed a salt-baked chicken, a box of crayfish, spicy diced rabbit meat and spicy snail meat. He quickly slipped out amid the collective criticism of the whole family and returned to the team.

After getting a promise from He Qiaojin, Mr. He prepared to go back with his hands behind his back, taking his two grandsons away with him. It was obvious that there was nothing for them to do now. The guard who followed him was holding a big bag of delicious food prepared by Su Zhuzhu. The old man said that he was in a good mood.

"Old He, this guy said he would take responsibility, so he shouldn't cause any trouble, right?"

He's mother was so angry when she looked at He Qiaojin.

"It's okay. Don't you want him to have more contact with Zhuzhu? They are both excellent children. Maybe this is an opportunity. They will develop feelings for each other. He Qiaojin had resistance in his heart because they had too little contact before. If they still can't get along, even if he is really blind, don't bother with him in the future."

He's father hugged He's mother and walked upstairs. He hadn't slept with his wife in his arms for several days, so how could he worry so much about that boy? He should go back to his room and rest quickly.

At this time, Su Zhuzhu was doing very well in the Red Star Brigade. The job of a hygienist was too easy for her and she could complete her daily work easily.

Doctor Peng saw that Su Zhuzhu was a good candidate for medical studies. It was obvious that Su Zhuzhu had studied Western medicine before. Doctor Peng himself studied traditional Chinese medicine. Seeing such a good candidate made him very excited. He had lived to an old age without having a satisfactory apprentice, but he did not expect that this new young educated youth was quite good.

After observing for a period of time, Doctor Peng was very satisfied with this girl, Su Zhuzhu. She was patient, had steady hands and a calm mind when working, was kind, not afraid of hardship or fatigue, was friendly to every patient, and most importantly, did not look down on Chinese medicine, which was particularly rare. From time to time, she would ask him about some Chinese medicine knowledge and took detailed notes, which made Doctor Peng very pleased.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people in the clinic that day, Dr. Peng called Su Zhuzhu to sit down with him. He offered to teach Su Zhuzhu Chinese medicine and take Su Zhuzhu as his apprentice, and wanted to ask Su Zhuzhu's opinion.

Su Zhuzhu was quite surprised. She had been coming to the clinic for quite some time. In her opinion, Dr. Peng was a somewhat weird old man. He would sometimes drive away anyone he disliked, even if they were patients, without any mercy. He was often scolded by patients and their families, but it could not be denied that the old man was really capable. People in the countryside might not be able to see it, but Su Zhuzhu knew that some patients’ illnesses were actually very serious and they had no money to go to the hospital for surgery. If they did not receive treatment and went home to endure it, they would not be able to survive for long. They had no choice but to come to the clinic. Dr. Peng used acupuncture and the herbs he picked in the mountains. Although it could not cure the disease, it saved people’s lives. Except for feeling a little uncomfortable, there were no other problems. It was just that the old man had a weird temper and did not explain. Patients and their families thought that the hospital was cheating them and scolded the hospital for being unscrupulous and cheating them out of money.

"Doctor Peng, why did you suddenly want to take me in as your apprentice? I know that my knowledge of Chinese medicine is too superficial. Is it too late to start now?"

Doctor Peng raised his eyelids and glanced at Su Zhuzhu.

"You young educated youth, why are you so modest? I know whether you are suitable for studying medicine or not, and you know it better."

"As for Western medicine, I definitely can't teach you, and you don't need me to teach you. In my opinion, doctors in the county and city may not be as good as you, but it's not a bad thing for you to learn Chinese medicine. Sometimes the combination of Chinese and Western medicine can save people from danger. You are not too old, and most importantly, I think you are suitable for studying Chinese medicine. You have the moral character that a doctor should have."

"Then, Doctor Peng, can I ask why you always drive Yu Ergou away every time he comes to see you?" Su Zhuzhu has always been puzzled by this matter. Yu Ergou looks honest and doesn't look like a wicked person, but every time he comes, Doctor Peng does it to him without any good face.

"He is a scumbag. Stay away from him. If you dare to show him any sympathy, you will regret it in the future."

Su Zhuzhu was shocked. Fortunately, she did not bother to persuade Dr. Peng at that time. There must be something unknown about this person.

"There was a girl in the next village, only fifteen years old. She wasn't particularly good-looking, but she was well-behaved. Her family was planning to find her a husband in two years, but she was almost harmed by Yu Ergou. Fortunately, she was caught on the spot by her family, and they invited me to go. The girl was fine, just frightened. But because of this incident, she could only hastily find a family in the countryside and married far away. She was too anxious at the time and didn't find out everything. I heard that she had a hard time in her husband's family. It was all caused by Yu Ergou!"

"In order to prevent Yu Ergou from telling anyone about this, I gave him an acupuncture injection that made him incapable. And I'm the only one who can cure this acupuncture. Yu Ergou has been seeking medical treatment everywhere for the past two years but none of them could cure him. Now he's almost thirty years old and he still doesn't have a son, but he's trying to beg me for mercy. Humph, I'll kick him out every time I see him next time! I've already told him that if he wants me to cure him, he should do more good things until I'm satisfied. But he keeps having evil thoughts every day and still wants me to cure him. He's a bad seed and I can't let him have any offspring!"

Su Zhuzhu didn't expect that there would be such a big thing in the middle.

"But Doctor Peng, you can get rid of him once or twice, but if it happens too often, I'm afraid Yu Ergou will have bad intentions towards you. You are old, and what if he blocks you and something happens?"

Doctor Peng rolled his eyes.

"Hey, you little educated youth, I was asking you if you want to be my apprentice, why do you keep talking about Yu Ergou?"

Su Zhuzhu licked her face and smiled.

"Yes, yes. Why wouldn't I be willing? Others want to learn but don't have the chance, so why wouldn't I be willing? It's always good to learn more knowledge."

Doctor Peng nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay then, be prepared. Being my apprentice is not easy. It's very hard!"

"Okay, Master, should we prepare a ceremony to become your disciple? There should be a ceremony. If I'm right, I should be your only disciple."

"It's not that complicated. Just offering me a cup of tea counts as your apprenticeship. What you learn is what's important. These empty things don't matter."

Although Doctor Peng said that he didn't care about empty formalities, Su Zhuzhu still prepared a lot of apprenticeship gifts according to Doctor Peng's preferences the next day, including various beans, pork, tea, cigarettes, etc. She didn't care about anything, the main thing was practicality.

From then on, Su Zhuzhu officially embarked on the journey of studying traditional Chinese medicine.
