I'm calling you because I have two things to tell you. How is our Huang family's pharmacy doing now?

Dad, the pharmacy is operating normally. Uncle Li and Aunt Li are managing it, and Uncle Li is seeing patients and treating people.

"Dad, is there anything else?" Huang Taihe thought it was normal for his father to ask about the pharmacy, after all, this pharmacy had been run for three generations. His great-grandfather chose the location and established the pharmacy, then his grandfather took over, and finally his father took over, a total of three generations. He and his brother joined the army and had no interest in medicine, so he couldn't take over in his generation.

Another thing is that I took on a female apprentice last year. She's from the village where I work as a doctor.

Huang Taihe was a little confused. If he hadn't misheard, his father said he had taken on a female apprentice. Although his father was getting on in years, he was still very energetic. His father's looks were quite striking; otherwise, how could he have given birth to two such handsome sons, him and his younger brother?

His cousin hadn't told him that his father had taken on a female apprentice. Was it because he was too ashamed to talk about it? He immediately thought of a handsome, single old man who was entangled with a widow, and they were having a tragic love story in their twilight years. His father, because he still loved his mother, couldn't reciprocate the widow's love, so he could only take her on as his apprentice. The two of them took care of and accompanied each other as master and apprentice.

This is too difficult. Love has its order of arrival, but my dad only has eyes for my mom. Dad, what's that widow aunt like?

The air seemed to freeze as soon as Huang Taihe said that; an awkward silence could be felt even through the phone receiver. Huang Taihe slapped his own mouth; how could he not keep his mouth shut?

He and his late grandmother, Zhang Lanying, are quite similar in personality; both are the kind of people who can create a whole scene with a few words. He spent a lot of time with his grandmother when he was young, so it's normal that he resembles her to some extent. However, when he's working, he becomes serious and earnest.

"Huang Taihe!" Dr. Huang roared from the other end of the microphone. "Are you out of your mind? What nonsense are you thinking about? I think it's because you've become a division commander and haven't been training enough, so you have time to think about this and that."

Dr. Huang knew what kind of person his eldest son was, so he wasn't really angry. He just found his son's thought process a headache, because it was so similar to his grandmother's.

Huang Taihe shrank his neck, his voice becoming much lower. "Then, Father, what kind of disciple did you take in?"

Dr. Huang ignored her, his attempts to ingratiate himself were futile; she was a thirteen-year-old girl. She was now learning medicine from me, and her comprehension was quite high.

Taihe, you and Taizhou are both soldiers, with no interest in medicine whatsoever, and you cannot carry on the legacy of your mother and me. Our Huang family has practiced medicine for generations, but that tradition ended with your generation.

Jiaming, Jiaxin, and Jiawei are still young, and we don't know if they will want to study medicine or follow in their footsteps. So, I consider this girl to be our and your mother's heir.

Dad, it's your own decision. If you think it's okay, then it's okay. Taizhou and I have never liked studying medicine since we were young. We also know that the Huang family is a family of doctors who have passed down their medical knowledge for generations. We feel guilty that the tradition has been broken when it came to us brothers.

But all we want to do is be soldiers, protect our country, and serve our country. I'll talk to Taizhou about this when I have time. Dad, I support your decision. As long as someone can take over, the Huang family has been practicing medicine for generations, and this person is someone Dad has chosen and approved, then it will be even more suitable.
