Mrs. Chen was also very happy. Although she was quite old, she would sometimes recall the scene of sitting on her father's shoulders and eating candied hawthorns when she was a child.

Later, she grew up, got married and had children, and didn't taste such a luxury as candied hawthorn for decades.

This isn't just candied hawthorn; it's a memory for every generation.

"Thank you for the lantern." Mrs. Chen was deeply moved.

Inside the carriage, only Liu Chuyu didn't quite understand everyone's reaction. It's just candied hawthorns, right? He'd had his fill of them when he was a kid!

It's not rare at all now.

Liu Chuyu sat in his seat, watching everyone happily devour a skewer of candied hawthorns that he had already had his fill of. Liu Chuyu couldn't help but lick his lips.

He glanced at the two strings of lanterns Zhao Denglong still had in his hand and deliberately asked, "Denglong, why did you leave two strings? Are they for Xiaolan?"

Zhao Denglong nodded, biting into a candied hawthorn.

Liu Chuyu immediately became serious and, speaking from experience, said, "Look, these two strings of candied hawthorns have a total of sixteen hawthorns. Isn't that too many?"

Zhao Denglong looked at him, not understanding what Liu Chuyu meant.

Liu Chuyu continued, "Xiao Lan definitely can't finish two skewers at once. Eating too much of this stuff can cause stomach acid and it's also sticky to your teeth."

"I don't know who said there was so little sugar on this, but it's not sticky at all."

Liu Chuyu felt like she had shot herself in the foot.

Zhao Denglong continued, "Since eating too much causes stomach acid, can't Xiaolan just eat one today and one tomorrow? You don't need to worry about it."

Seeing that Zhao Denglong had been amused enough, He Tiantian smiled and jokingly reminded him, "Alright, Denglong, this string of beads is for Chu Yu. Don't make him anxious."

Zhao Denglong then smiled and handed the candied hawthorn in his hand to Liu Chuyu.

"Here you go, I was just kidding you."

Liu Chuyu happily accepted the candied hawthorn. It had been many years since he last ate candied hawthorn. He had eaten enough of it before and didn't find it particularly delicious anymore.

Tearing off the outer sticker, Liu Chuyu carefully took a bite of the candied hawthorn.

Strange, with so little syrup, the candied hawthorn berries only have a slightly sour taste. Most of them are still sweet.

Liu Chuyu ate with peace of mind, taking a bite out of one in one go.

As the last rays of the setting sun bathed half the sky, they finally arrived at the clinic where Xiaolan was studying medicine.

The clinic is called "Qi Sheng Clinic." It sounds a lot like a place where you learn martial arts.

He Tiantian had also been a little curious, so she asked about it. It turned out that one of the doctors inside was named Qi Sheng.

He is the best doctor in the entire Changning County.

He is comparable to the previous Dr. Liu.

Moreover, Doctor Qi also conducts assessments when accepting apprentices. He Tiantian doesn't know what questions he asks on the first visit.

Because when Xiaolan came that time, she happened to be away.

After passing the first hurdle, the second hurdle is to work odd jobs at the clinic for a month. During this time, there are various assessments, and only by passing them can one successfully advance to the next hurdle.
