Chapter 211 Becoming an Apprentice

Zhou Xiaochuan was in a good mood, but Fang Hua's question instantly dampened his spirits, and he slumped down, not wanting to speak.

Wang Xiaoliu hurriedly stood up: "Auntie, do we have to avoid certain foods? The doctor hasn't arrived yet, so I don't know."

Fang Hua frowned: "We don't know what kind of allergy it is, so we still need to avoid certain foods, especially eggs."

Wang Xiaoliu looked at Zhou Xiaochuan with a panicked expression: "I...I don't know, I didn't know I couldn't eat it."

Zhou Xiaochuan was very impatient: "Mom, do you have to be such a spoilsport? I've been eating these things for so many years and I've never had an allergic reaction. How come I had an allergic reaction after eating them just once today?"

Fang Hua and Zhou Xiaochuan could no longer communicate, so they went out to see a doctor. The doctor's advice was to avoid eating eggs and meat buns for now, and to wait for the test results.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoliu quickly got up, said goodbye to Zhou Xiaochuan, and ran away.

Zhou Xiaochuan held his breath and didn't speak to Fang Hua all morning.

Fang Hua accompanied him through the examination, and everything was normal; it wasn't an allergy or poisoning.

Even the doctor found it strange and advised him to stay in the hospital, receive anti-inflammatory injections, and then observe him further.

Fang Hua frowned after hearing this: "Should we go see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor? We can't just get bumps for no reason, and it's quite scary."

The doctor had never seen him before: "If we could find a skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor to take a look, that would be great. As it stands, he doesn't seem to have any other health problems. It's possible that his hands touched something and he had a local allergic reaction; these are all possibilities."

Fang Hua then pondered who would be the most suitable person to consult.

They also have no shortage of connections and resources in this area.

Zhou Xiaochuan returned to the ward and immediately began to complain: "It's not an infectious disease, is it? Now you don't have to be afraid, right?"

Fang Hua frowned at him: "The cause of the illness hasn't even been found yet, but you're still fixated on this? Xiao Chuan, I'm really disappointed in you."

Zhou Xiaochuan chuckled: "Yeah, I'm not the eldest brother, I can't bring honor to the family, I'm just a good-for-nothing in the family, it's only right that you look down on me."

Fang Hua's face turned ashen with anger: "You... why have you been so unreasonable lately? Did someone say something to you?"

She spoke to Zhou Xiaochuan calmly, after all, he was her own child, and she couldn't bring herself to be cruel to him.

Zhou Xiaochuan snorted and lay down, pulling the blanket over his head, not wanting to pay any more attention to Fang Hua.

Wang Xiaoliu is right. The reason his family doesn't value him is because Zhou Xiye is too outstanding. His family will compare him to others, so everything he does is wrong, and he is considered a good-for-nothing.

Fang Hua looked at Zhou Xiaochuan's actions with a headache, wondering why he was becoming more and more unreasonable!

...

Jiang Zhizhi didn't want to wait until things calmed down before going to find Jin Huaiying; it would be too much of a waste of time.

During the lunch break, she hurriedly ate a few bites of steamed buns, drank a couple of sips of water, and told Ge Qinghua that she would ask the teacher for leave if she was late in the afternoon.

Then he hurriedly rode his bike to find Jin Huaiying.

The school is relatively close to Jin Huaiying's residence; it takes about fifteen minutes to get there by bike.

When Jiang Zhizhi went over, Jin Huaiying had just entered the house. She was still wearing the blue cleaning coat she wore, with patches on the sleeves and shoulders, looking disheveled.

Upon seeing Jiang Zhizhi arrive, Jin Huaiying frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Jiang Zhizhi was good at finding topics: "Teacher Jin, you may not remember me. I saw you at the train station before. You were reading an English book, but you mispronounced a word and it wasn't translated like that."

Jin Huaiying frowned, her face stern: "What are you talking about? I don't understand?"

Jiang Zhizhi smiled and tentatively asked, "Teacher Jin, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll cook for you."

Jin Huaiying watched as Jiang Zhizhi entered the house, rolled up her sleeves, and was about to go to work when she quickly stopped her, saying, "I already told you you're not sick, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Zhizhi looked at Jin Huaiying very seriously: "Teacher Jin, I know you are very capable, and I want to learn medicine from you."

Jin Huaiying's face instantly turned ugly: "I won't teach you, you should leave now."

He became who he is today because of the student report he valued most, so he has no interest in teaching students now.

As he spoke, he went over and opened the door, glaring at Jiang Zhizhi and telling her to leave.

Jiang Zhizhi stood still: "I know you don't want to take on students. I didn't expect you to agree when I came here today, but if you don't agree today, I'll come again tomorrow."

Jin Huaiying said coldly, "Even if you come every day, I won't agree. Someone came for half a year in a row before, and I still didn't agree. Since you're a young girl, I won't make things too difficult for you. If you want to study medicine, go to school. You don't need to come here."

Jiang Zhizhi quickly pulled a notebook out of her bag: "Teacher Jin, these are some medical English words that I have categorized. Take a look."

He put it on the table and, before Jin Huaiying could react, quickly walked out, saying, "Teacher Jin, I'll come see you again tomorrow."

Before the words were even finished, the person had already reached the front door.

Jin Huaiying's legs were weak, so it was impossible for her to chase after him. Besides, she was indeed attracted by the medical English that Jiang Zhizhi was speaking.

After a moment of silence, he went over and picked up the notebook left by Jiang Zhizhi. It was filled with English words, but the first page of words had Chinese annotations after them, while the rest did not.

His English is limited, and he couldn't recognize it even after looking at it for a long time.

He took off his glasses again, carefully wiped the lenses, brought the notebook close to his eyes, and looked at it intently. Many words on the first page had already attracted his attention.

Frowning, she put down her notebook. This was a very clever little girl; she knew how to bait a fish and let the fish bite on their own over time.

...

Jiang Zhizhi didn't expect to succeed on her first try. She made her intentions and determination clear and put aside anything that could attract Jin Huaiying.

I returned to school happily and just in time for the first class.

Before the teacher arrived, Ge Qinghua quickly told Jiang Zhizhi, "You weren't here at noon, so Cheng Feng and I studied and discussed things together. We decided to form a study group, with Cheng Feng as the group leader, so we can all improve together. Everyone wants to invite you to join the study group because your English and chemistry are so good, and they want you to teach everyone."

Jiang Zhizhi shook her head without even thinking: "I don't want to join. I don't have that much time."

Ge Qinghua waved her hand: "Let's all get together for this one hour at noon to learn and solve problems together."

Jiang Zhizhi didn't want to: "If you don't understand something, just come and ask me. I won't participate in any study groups."

Ge Qinghua couldn't understand why Jiang Zhizhi was unwilling to participate in the study group.

What a wonderful opportunity for mutual progress!

Could it be as her classmates said, that Jiang Zhizhi comes from a good family, is aloof, and doesn't want to be with them?

Ge Qinghua spent the entire class lost in thought. After class, she couldn't help but ask Jiang Zhizhi, "Zhizhi, is it because you look down on us that you don't want to join the study group?"
