Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

As we all know, in the era of economic backwardness, doctors are professionals who save lives and heal the wounded. They are irreplaceable, have high salaries, comprehensive benefits, stable jobs, are respected, and have high social status.

Most drivers travel frequently, are knowledgeable, have many channels to purchase supplies, have high salaries, extra income, and subsidies, so it can be considered a very professional profession.

Not to mention the soldiers, who have a high salary, their food and clothing are all provided by the army, and they also receive military coupons, and have the highest social status.

Many people cannot see the dangers they encounter behind the scenes. Ordinary people only see their glory and glory. Therefore, soldiers are also the most loved and respected profession by the people.

Salesmen, although their salaries are not the highest, they are close to the water and get the moon first, and they control the source of material sales.

In this era of extreme material scarcity, they were not only the first to buy the extremely scarce materials on the market, but they could also often buy inexpensive and high-quality daily necessities at internal prices or residual prices, and were most envied by the common people.

The old lady is really happy!

She has been feeling anxious ever since her son and daughter-in-law got into trouble.

I am worried that I won’t be able to raise my granddaughter safely and securely; I am worried that I have little experience and am not capable of raising my granddaughter into an adult!

My son and daughter-in-law are both respectable people, and their professions are noble in the eyes of others.

When they were around, they worried about their granddaughter's future, and as an old lady, I only had to take care of the family's food and clothing.

But they are gone, and the old lady is under too much pressure!

She had only been in Beijing for a few years and didn't know anyone capable here. She was worried that even if she raised her granddaughter safely, she would still ruin her child's future.

The beautiful and intelligent granddaughter grew up to be an ordinary housewife like her, living her life around men, children and the stove, and never stepping out of the door of her small family.

She had spent most of her life taking money from others with her hands raised up. She had no self-esteem, read people's faces, and spoke carefully. She didn't want Zhao Zhao to live a life of grievance like that.

Her Zhaozhao is the treasure in the hands of her son and daughter-in-law, and is her life!

She should live as bright as a flower, as warm as the sun. Bending over and bowing her head, obeying orders, her Zhao Zhao should not become such a useless person!

The old lady's heart was burning with anxiety, and she asked her granddaughter excitedly, "Zhao Zhao, you have learned medical skills from others, you have to become their disciple.

You are still young and don’t understand the ins and outs of this.

In the old society, no matter what you do, you must learn from a master. If you don’t formally become a disciple, how can they teach you sincerely?

Han Zhaozhao didn't expect her grandma to be so persistent about these old customs, so she could only tell the truth, "Grandma, the old man who taught me medicine said that he swore that he would not accept any apprentices!

He is old and doesn't have the energy to teach me step by step. But seeing that I get along well with him, the old man gave me a lot of medical books and let me study on my own.

If there was something I didn't understand, the old man would take the time to guide me, but when it came to accepting me as an apprentice, he wouldn't respond to anything he said.

The old man said that he himself had not learned all the medical skills inherited from his family. What he was proficient in was not medical skills, but pharmacology.

He can only teach me about pharmacy, but he can't accept me as an apprentice!"

The old lady didn’t understand: “No matter what I teach you, I’m still teaching you skills. Isn’t it normal for us to become disciples?

What about pharmacy? Aren’t medical skills what a doctor should learn?

Whose old man is this? Why does he have such a weird temper? As the old saying goes, an apprentice is half a son!

If I officially adopt you, wouldn't that be like picking up a child for nothing? In the future, our two families can visit each other as relatives. During the New Year and other festivals, we can give him New Year gifts, and when he gets old, we can also take care of him and see him to the end of his life. What a wonderful thing!"

The old lady was stubborn and refused to accept the ceremony of becoming a disciple. She felt uneasy without the status of master and disciple.

Han Zhaozhao couldn't understand: "Is it so troublesome? I see, this might be the reason why the old man didn't accept me as his apprentice!

You don't know, he likes to be simple and he hates trouble the most!"

The old lady didn't take Han Zhaozhao's words to heart at all. She had her own ideas.

"Oh, you say, they don't think you are a little girl, do they?"

The old lady slapped her thigh suddenly, as if she had figured out the key issue, "It must be like this! A girl cannot provide for others in their old age. Based on this reason, they will never accept you!"

The old lady was very disappointed and her expression immediately became depressed. "The newspapers say that women hold up half the sky, so why are there still people who always think in the same old way?"

When Han Zhaozhao saw her grandma like this, she couldn't act naughty anymore and felt very sad.

She knew that in her grandmother's heart, as long as it was her business, it was no small matter, and everything about her was more important than anything else!

Not wanting the old lady to think too much, she quickly made a joke, "Grandma, Grandpa Bai doesn't think that way, so don't let your mind wander.

Grandpa Bai is very nice to me. Whenever I go to ask him questions, he teaches me seriously.

People don't care about status. The old man is very nice to me, and I know that.

Grandma, if you feel uneasy, we can give people extra gifts during the New Year and other festivals, and I will also show more respect to him on weekdays.

As long as we are grateful in our hearts and have done our best, I think it is no different from formally becoming a disciple. There is no need to go through those formalities!

Nowadays, all major pharmacies are public-private partnerships, and new employees are called temporary workers or apprentices. It is no longer customary to privately find a master to accept an apprentice.

Times have changed. Some people criticize that it is a disguised form of exploitation! You don’t know that the government does not encourage this. The wind is getting tighter and tighter in the future. We must also keep up with the general situation and keep pace with the times. "

The old lady was confused by what she said, and stammered, "How can worshipping a master be related to exploitation? I have never heard of this saying for thousands of years. Now there are some things that I really don't understand!

All right, let it be! But we have to have a conscience. Even if we don’t do the apprenticeship ceremony, we have to acknowledge this master-disciple relationship in private.

Next time you go to their house, don’t go empty-handed. There is pickled wild boar meat in the big vat in the barn. You can take a piece.

We can't afford other valuables, so taking some food and daily necessities is a token of our appreciation..."

The old lady kept talking, chattering on to her granddaughter about various ways of dealing with people.

From interactions among relatives to interactions among friends, to things to pay attention to when getting along with strangers, etc., every detail is pointed out one by one.

Han Zhaozhao leaned on his grandmother's arm, listened quietly to his grandmother's teachings, and nodded from time to time to show that he understood.

There wasn't a trace of impatience on her face. After all, these were the valuable experiences accumulated by the older generation. There would be no harm in listening to more of them, as it could help her avoid many detours.

"Your grandpa wrote to me a while ago, saying that he had a serious illness. I asked someone to write him a reply letter, but I was afraid that he would not be able to accept the situation of your parents and it would cost him his life, so I did not dare to tell him.

It's been such a long time, and I haven't received any reply from there. I don't know whether his illness has been cured or not?

Your uncle is the same, he is too honest, he can’t manage his wife’s household and can’t handle anything.

Zhaozhao, I was thinking about sending two hundred yuan to your grandfather when your mother's pension comes out.

The old man had a hard time too. He worked hard for his children all his life and suffered from a lot of illnesses. He also treated your mother like a treasure. When your mother got married, he gave her this yard and a lot of dowry.

Your mother passed away at a young age, and you will not be able to fulfill your filial duties in the future. Zhaozhao, when you grow up, you must fulfill your filial duties to your grandfather on behalf of your mother."
