The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.
...Chapter 500 Talking about this again
"Sister Ning." Zhuang Wencheng was immediately alerted when he saw that it was Zhuang Qingning, and walked over quickly, "Why are you here?"
"Manager Cheng is looking for you and has something to discuss, so I brought Manager Cheng here." Zhuang Qingning answered truthfully.
Zhuang Wencheng then noticed Cheng Ruize and Fang Hou beside him, and said apologetically, "Hello, Shopkeeper Cheng. I was a little sleepy just now and didn't notice you for a while."
"I just heard from Shopkeeper Zhuang that Doctor Zhuang is back to see patients. I think he is overworked. It's okay." Cheng Ruize waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and then smiled and said, "I came here today because I want to discuss something with Doctor Zhuang."
"Since you have something to discuss, let's go inside and talk. It's cold outside." Zhuang Wencheng smiled and welcomed Cheng Ruize and others into the house.
After entering the yard, he hurriedly called Wang to entertain the guests.
When Wang saw that it was Zhuang Qingning who came, her expression became very complicated, especially when she saw Zhuang Qingning leading a young man, her expression became even uglier.
But when she heard that the man was the shopkeeper Cheng from the county town, who came specifically to look for Zhuang Wencheng and asked Zhuang Qingning to lead the way, she immediately smiled, warmly invited the man into the house, and told her eldest daughter-in-law to make tea.
Use the best tea leaves.
After giving the instructions, she was afraid that her eldest daughter-in-law was clumsy and couldn't get anything done, so she asked Zhuang Wencheng and the others to sit in the house and talk first, and she went to the kitchen to make tea.
Cheng Ruize didn't say much and directly stated his purpose.
"I want to apologize for what happened last time, and I want to find a disciple for Doctor Shi. Comparatively speaking, the latter is the most important thing. Doctor Zhuang, don't feel embarrassed. I also want to find a satisfactory disciple for Doctor Shi as soon as possible."
Zhuang Wencheng was overjoyed to hear Cheng Ruize say this.
When he was an apprentice in Ge Tonghua's pharmacy in the county town, Zhuang Wencheng had heard of Doctor Shi, who was a doctor with better medical skills than Ge Tonghua.
Speaking of which, when Zhuang Wencheng was young, he first wanted to go to the county town to study medicine, and he wanted to become a disciple of Doctor Shi. Unfortunately, Doctor Shi did not want apprentices at that time. Later, after several transfers, he became an apprentice to Ge Tonghua.
I didn't expect that after so many years, we would still have this fate.
"Doctor Shi is really willing to accept me?" Zhuang Wencheng couldn't believe it.
Most doctors who take in apprentices usually do so when they are children.
Firstly, since they have never been exposed to any medical knowledge, they are like a blank sheet of paper and are easier to teach. Secondly, the friendship formed in childhood is the deepest. No doctor would be willing to accept an apprentice like Zhuang Wencheng who is already so old, as they think he is difficult to teach and has too many thoughts.
"I mentioned this to Doctor Shi, and he is quite interested. However, you and your disciple will need to work together more in the future." Cheng Ruize replied.
"If Doctor Zhuang is willing, he can come to the pharmacy at any time and pay his respects to Doctor Shi."
"Okay, okay." Zhuang Wencheng nodded repeatedly, but added, "It will probably take a few days before I can go. I'd like to trouble Manager Cheng to tell Doctor Shi."
"Because I am currently working as a doctor in a pharmacy in town. If I leave suddenly now, I am afraid it will be inappropriate for the pharmacy. In addition, there are several patients who need to go to the pharmacy for a change of medicine and pulse diagnosis in the next few days. I need to take care of all these before I can go to the county town."
The pharmacies in the town are completely incomparable to those in the county. For a doctor, being able to move up a level can make a world of difference in one's future. Many people are eager to cling to a good future, fearing that the opportunity will slip away.
Zhuang Wencheng is a kind-hearted doctor. Not only does he take good care of the patient, he also remembers to give instructions for everything that needs to be done.
Be a good person before doing things. Zhuang Wencheng is a kind and honest boy. It seems that he has really found a good apprentice for Doctor Shi this time.
Cheng Ruize nodded approvingly, "Just do as Doctor Zhuang said. I will wait until Doctor Zhuang finishes the matter at hand before going to see Doctor Shi. I will pass on my message to Doctor Shi. Doctor Zhuang, don't worry."
"Thank you, Manager Cheng." Zhuang Wencheng hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
After settling the matter, Cheng Ruize stayed here and chatted for a while, but as it was getting late, he said goodbye and left.
Zhuang Wencheng saw Cheng Ruize and others out the door, and Zhuang Qingning also saw Cheng Ruize off to the carriage. After watching them go far away, he went home.
"My Wencheng is very capable. Even Manager Cheng came to invite Wencheng to work as a doctor in his shop." After sending Cheng Ruize away, Wang couldn't close her smile. The corners of her mouth almost reached her ears. She even reached out to pull Zhuang Wencheng's clothes again and again, trying her best to tidy them up.
"Mom." Zhuang Wencheng frowned, "I am just an apprentice to Doctor Shi, not a practicing doctor. Don't talk nonsense when you go out."
"Why are you talking nonsense? Didn't Shopkeeper Cheng just say that Doctor Shi is old, and by the time he has taught you, it will be time for him to retire. Then, won't you be a real doctor in the pharmacy from now on?"
Wang smiled and said, "It's just a matter of time."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"It's going to happen sooner or later, at least not now."
Zhuang Wencheng knew Wang's personality and knew that no matter how much he tried to persuade her, he would not be able to persuade her. He rolled his eyes and said, "Manager Cheng originally wanted me to be Doctor Shi's apprentice because he saw that I was honest and simple-minded and didn't have so many thoughts. If mother said these things to others, and Manager Cheng mistakenly thought that I was scheming and ambitious, he might not like me anymore."
When Wang heard this, the corners of her mouth drooped down a little, and she said hurriedly, "Yes, I know, I know, don't worry, I will definitely not talk too much outside in the future."
Ever since Zhuang Wencheng came back from the county town, although he said that being an apprentice in the county town was very tiring and that he didn't want to do it, and how much Wang felt sorry for him, there were always people outside who said something gossipy about Zhuang Wencheng because he had gone from being a doctor in the county town to a doctor in the town.
Wang was tired of other people's gossip and looked down on it, but she felt a little embarrassed. This time, Zhuang Wencheng was finally going to the county town to be a doctor again, and he was invited back by Manager Cheng. It was such an honorable matter that she really wanted to talk about it everywhere to get back all her former face.
But now, when Wang heard Zhuang Wencheng say that this might delay his future, she immediately gave up the idea and said with a smile, "I'm not stupid, just put your mind at ease."
"I just suddenly remembered something and I have to talk to you about it."
"What's the matter?" Zhuang Wencheng was very curious when he saw Wang suddenly become serious.
"It's about you and Ning girl." Wang raised her eyebrows.
"Mom, why are you talking about this again?"
