My scumbag husband only saves his white moonlight; I remarry the rough-and-tumble regimental command

Ye Nuan received a letter from her hometown. One of the letters had unfamiliar handwriting and was quite thick, giving it a heavy feel.

Ye Nuan first read the letter home and learned that everything was fine, which made her feel much more relaxed.

When she finished reading the second letter, she was completely devastated.

When she returned home that afternoon, she noticed that there seemed to be several people on guard at the guesthouse not far from the compound. Could it be that some important leader had come?

Ye Nuan was preoccupied with her own thoughts and didn't bother to inquire further.

After a smooth journey home, Ye Nuan took out the letter again and read it word by word. She felt that there was something hidden in the letter, something that wasn't explained clearly, or rather, something that was deliberately left unclear.

The feeling was intense and strange.

With something on her mind, Ye Nuan couldn't concentrate on her work.

When Gu Hanchuan returned, he found that Ye Nuan had only cooked porridge and steamed a few buns, but hadn't cooked any dishes. She was sitting alone in the house, lost in thought.

"Nuan Nuan, are you okay?"

Ye Nuan snapped out of her daze and quickly shook her head: "It's nothing. It's just that a relative from my hometown wrote a letter saying that an elder is seriously ill and may not have many days left. I'm worried about him."

Gu Hanchuan fell silent upon hearing this. It seemed he couldn't be of much help in this matter. The most crucial thing was that they were far from Anshi, and even if they took leave to rush back, it would probably be half a month later.

Given their current status, taking leave is not an easy thing for them.

Gu Hanchuan didn't know how to comfort her, so he sat down next to her and gently put his arm around her.

"If you're really worried, could you perhaps make a phone call to check on things? Or, could I ask my aunt and uncle to go and check on things?"

Ye Nuan shook her head: "No need. The old lady is getting on in years and doesn't want too many people to know about her illness. However, there is something I might have to trouble my uncle with."

Upon hearing that he could help, Gu Hanchuan perked up: "Go ahead."

Do you remember the kid I told you about, Little Cannon?

"Yes, I know him. He can also identify medicinal herbs."

"Yes, his grandmother is dying."

Next, Ye Nuan told him about the medical book the old lady had given her, and in the end, she didn't hide it from him and showed him the letter directly.

After reading the letter, Gu Hanchuan could roughly understand Ye Nuan's current mood.

This old lady may have just casually asked Xiao Gangpao to call her aunt, but in reality, she clearly intended to take him on as a disciple.

However, the old lady was in a precarious situation, unsure of what she had been involved in, so she preferred to give it away for free rather than accept Ye Nuan's gift.

"Nuan Nuan, if the old lady really doesn't make it, I'll ask my uncle to find a way to bring the two children here. But under what pretext do you plan to take them in?"

Ye Nuan blinked, recalling the advice the old lady had given her during their previous correspondence, and also remembering the books and a set of silver needles she had received from the old lady last month.

"She actually wanted to take me as her apprentice, didn't she?"

Gu Hanchuan chuckled lightly: "Yes, I think that's the idea."

"Then I'll try to contact Little Cannon and then relay my message."

"can."

There was no telephone where Xiao Gangpao lived, not even a local neighborhood office.

However, Ye Nuan called Ye Feng instead, and then asked Ye Feng to find Xiao Gangpao. The two agreed on a time for their next phone call.

When Little Cannon heard Ye Nuan's voice, his emotions exploded instantly, and he burst into tears before he could even say a word.

"Don't cry, Little Cannon, tell me the truth, how is your grandma's health now?"

Little Cannon cried out twice more before finally managing to recount the events in fits and starts.

“Go back and tell the old lady that I intend to become her apprentice. If she agrees, I will send her the apprenticeship gift. I will call her again at this time tomorrow. If she does not agree, then I will not agree to take care of you and your brother.”

Little Cannon wiped away his tears: "Auntie?"

"Don't shout yet! Relay what I said to your grandmother word for word. If she agrees, then whether it's her funeral arrangements or your two siblings, I, her disciple, will take care of everything. As long as I live, you two won't go hungry. And don't talk to me about being implicated or not, I, Ye Nuan, am not afraid of that!"

After hearing this, Little Cannon burst into tears again.

After hearing Xiao Gangpao's retelling, the old lady smiled exceptionally brightly.

"I wasn't wrong about him! Cough cough, our Zheng family has a worthy successor!"

When the phone rang again the next day, the old lady answered.

"Ye Nuan, I know you're a good child. Since you're willing to acknowledge me as your master, I'll shamelessly accept you. My surname is Zheng, and my name is Zheng Xiumei. I'll explain the details to you later. Since you've called me master, I can't leave you without a gift. I'll send it to you later."

I know my body can only hold on for about two or three more months. If you have some free time, it would be best if you could come back. The Zheng family still has a set of acupuncture techniques, and I am the last generation to pass it on. If I could pass it on to you, I could die in peace!

“Master, please don’t say such discouraging things. Don’t worry, I will definitely find time to go back and kowtow to you.”

The master and apprentice thus established their relationship over the phone.

Ye Nuan went back and immediately started writing a leave request.

Zhang Shiqing is recovering well, and Ye Nuan thinks he can return to Kyoto for recuperation.

As for Han Zhuangzhuang and Ding Dawang, they cannot stop taking their medication now. Ye Nuan estimated that she could go back once in half a month, for a maximum of nine days. If it goes any longer, the treatment of the two children may be affected.

Ye Nuan started writing a leave request. She told the truth directly that one of her masters might not make it and she had to go back.

The dean didn't want to let her go, because Ye Nuan's workload was now no less than that of the directors of other departments.

What will happen to all these patients if she leaves?

"Sigh, it's just that you're too young. Otherwise, I would definitely have to assign you a student to mentor you."

"Dean, please don't make fun of me. I'm actually hoping to have the opportunity to pursue further studies at a university." Ye Nuan made no attempt to hide her thoughts.

The hospital director laughed heartily: "Don't worry, you're definitely on the hospital's recommended list this year! Even if you didn't mention it, considering your medical skills and the situation of our patients, our hospital will definitely give you priority."

Ye Nuan was overjoyed: "Then thank you, Dean."

"Alright, I'll discuss the leave with Director Su again. If Director Su can find someone to help share the burden, then I can approve your leave."

Ye Nuan's eyes darted around: "Dean, I think Dr. Duan Gang is quite good. How about I transfer some of my patients to him?"
