Chapter 143 Apprenticeship
Old Man Hua's medical skills were indeed excellent. Sweetie broke out in a sweat in her sleep, and when she woke up, she found that her fever had subsided.
Su Xiao and Granny Cai helped Tian Niu bathe and change her clothes, and she looked much more energetic.
"Sister, I'm all better now, I can go out..." Sweetie said sweetly to Su Xiao, who was covering her with a blanket.
"No." Su Xiao refused without even thinking, and when she looked up, she saw a hint of grievance in her wet eyes.
"But it's really boring to lie in the house all by yourself."
Su Xiao tapped her forehead helplessly. "You, no amount of pleading will work. It just won't work. Your fever just went down, and we don't know if it will come back. Be good, your sister will come back to keep you company this afternoon."
"Sister." Sweetie pulled Su Xiao's hand, pouting and acting coquettishly.
Unfortunately, Su Xiao remained unmoved and put her hand under the blanket. "Alright, I'm going back to have lunch. I'll come back to keep you company this afternoon."
Sweetie naturally knew that Su Xiao meant well and that she had just been acting coquettishly because she was craving her sister's gentleness.
"Okay, sister, I'll wait for you." Sweetie replied obediently, burying half her face under the blanket, leaving only her big, bright eyes visible.
Su Xiao's heart softened, and she agreed, "Okay, I'll wait for my sister obediently."
After agreeing to her request, Su Xiao and Shang Ziming hurried back. Fortunately, the rain had subsided, and they didn't need to carry anything on the way back. Su Xiao put her arm around Shang Ziming's arm, and they successfully crossed the muddy path, only letting go when they reached the village entrance.
For lunch, we ate zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), which were fragrant and delicious. She ate two at once and felt a little full.
He went back to his room, took out paper and pen, copied down the ten prescriptions for reducing fever, and then went out with the handwritten copy.
"Are you leaving? I'll see you off." As soon as they arrived at the front yard, Shang Ziming was already waiting for them.
"Okay." Su Xiao's lips twitched slightly, then she broke into a perfect smile. "Thank you, Brother Mu."
The two left the courtyard one after the other.
At the entrance to the inner courtyard, a figure stood, staring at their backs without moving for a long time.
"Grandpa Hua, look, I brought it to you." Su Xiao took out the notebook from her bag and waved it.
Old Man Hua was eating when he immediately threw down his bowl, came to her side, rubbed his hands together, and said, "Little Xiao, are you really going to show me?"
Su Xiao didn't understand why there was anything to hesitate about, so she simply nodded and said, "Of course."
"Alright." Old Man Hua smiled, took the notebook, and said, "Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you. I'll take you as my apprentice and teach you medicine, how about it?"
"Huh?" Su Xiao was stunned, her mind was in turmoil.
One said the opportunity had arrived, and we should seize it quickly so that we could become famous and accomplished in medicine. The other said not to agree, as studying medicine is too difficult, and it's not worth it to spend your whole life on a momentary impulse...
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get the cushions and prepare tea so that Xiao Xiao can kowtow and become an apprentice." When Old Man Gong saw that Su Xiao was hesitating, he immediately became anxious and called on Granny Cai to arrange the apprenticeship ceremony.
He knew that Old Man Hua had said many times that he was now deeply trapped in this place, and he had nothing else to worry about but that his mantle would not be passed on.
I had considered taking Tian Sheng in before, but unfortunately, that guy was a blockhead and didn't understand anything.
Now that Su Xiaoxiao has run into him, he has no choice but to help Old Man Hua win her over.
Seeing the look in Old Man Gong's eyes, Granny Cai immediately took action, bringing over a straw mat. There was no time to be picky now, so she used Old Man Hua's usual tea mug instead of a cup.
"Quickly, kowtow and offer tea."
