Chapter 144 The Path of Learning
Su Xiao felt that everyone around her was more excited than she was. Should she not hesitate and seem a little ungrateful?
"Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!" Suddenly, Old Man Hua slammed his hand on the table and stood up, excitedly holding the small notebook and exclaiming how wonderful it was.
The more intense his gaze became towards Su Xiao, the happier he became. Seeing that the cushions were all laid out, he happily walked to the center and sat down, urging, "Hurry up."
What else could Su Xiao do? She had to kneel down and kowtow.
After she finished kowtowing, Granny Cai handed her a teacup.
Su Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly. "Master, please have some tea."
"Good, good." Old Man Hua seemed a little excited, his voice choked with emotion as he said "good" twice. "Good child, get up quickly. From now on, you are the 133rd generation successor of my Hua family, my last disciple, Hua Cunming. From now on, you must study diligently, ask questions, and practice what you preach..."
"Yes, Master." Su Xiao listened attentively with a smile on her face, but inwardly she was wailing.
"Alright, this is for you from your master. Memorize this first." Old Man Hua took out the Shennong Materia Medica that he had prepared beforehand and handed it to her.
"Thank you, Master." Su Xiao blinked, trying her best to maintain a good image.
She was on the verge of a breakdown. She knew that studying medicine, especially traditional Chinese medicine, would require memorizing everything on the way.
"Alright, go ahead and get busy. Come find me again when you've memorized it." Old Man Hua smiled at Su Xiao, a sly glint in his eyes. He was a shrewd old man; he could easily see Su Xiao's slight displeasure. But he had his eye on this girl, and he couldn't let her escape his notice. Hehe…
Su Xiao turned around with the book in her hand, her smile vanishing instantly, and her face fell.
He listlessly went to the sweet girl's room next door.
"Sister, you're here!" Sweetie was as energetic as ever.
"Yes, I've come to keep you company." Su Xiao had composed herself when she entered the room, but now she was all smiles, radiating optimism and positivity.
"What's that sister holding? A book?" Sweetie noticed with her sharp eyes and felt a little expectant.
Su Xiao handed her the book and explained, "Yes, it was given to me by my master. I just became Grandpa Hua's apprentice, and I'll be learning medicine from him from now on."
"That's wonderful! Grandpa Hua's medical skills are superb. In the future, my sister will also be a respected doctor..." Sweetie carefully held the book, not daring to flip through it carelessly, for fear of damaging it.
Su Xiao chuckled, "There's no need for that."
Seeing how much she treasured the books, a thought struck him. "Sweetie, have you learned to read with your grandpa and the others?"
“Yes, I’ve already learned the fifth-grade curriculum.” Sweetie was very happy when she said this, and her whole face lit up with joy. “My grandma taught me in her spare time.”
Su Xiao was somewhat surprised but not too surprised when she heard this.
They were all educated elderly people who naturally knew the importance of knowledge. How could they not teach such a well-behaved little girl?
"Oh, I see. I have a few books here. Would you like to read them?" Su Xiao took two books out of her bag, but actually from her spatial storage, and handed them to her.
"Yes, yes!" Sweetie excitedly took it, stroking the book with delight. "Thank you, sister."
Su Xiao shook her head. "It's good that you like studying. Work hard and when you have the opportunity to go to school in the future, try to get into university, leave the countryside and go to the big city to make your way in the world."
"Sister, will I ever have another chance like this?" Sweetie seemed a little confused, yet hopeful.
"Yes, I will." Su Xiao nodded seriously.
