Chapter 112 "I'll teach you anatomy"
The letter said that the grass at school seemed to never stop being pulled. Clearly, they were pulling it out every day! Later, unconvinced, they observed closely and discovered that they were pulling out the grass in front, while those who were criticizing them were planting it in the back. Every time they finished pulling and returned to write their ideological reports, the gang would dig up the area they had pulled out, sow some grass seeds, and water and fertilize it...
"We're researching chemical weed control. I saw in a journal that Heilongjiang Province has developed a chemical herbicide and is using it in some areas, but we haven't got any here yet. Maybe we can find some results.
Huihui, you don't have to worry about us. Although we don't have classes anymore, life is still quite interesting. We're hanging out with a lot of old friends. Nothing's a big deal, and everything is fine.
To some extent, we should thank the experience of being sent down to the countryside, which gave us a high tolerance for work, and pulling weeds in school is nothing.
You, Mingda, and the children should enjoy your lives and not worry about us. We will find a way to contact you if we need anything.
Your father-in-law came to visit us and left us many good things. We will both be fine and look forward to the day when we can be reunited with you."
There is sadness between the lines, but also optimism and full of love for his daughter.
Su Hui came to terms with it, and so did Li Mingda. The couple settled down at home, truly experiencing the meaning of "an old family member is like a treasure."
Last year, they weren't included in the reopening of schools because there were fewer students and fewer teachers. Now, with junior high schools popping up everywhere and the commune also wanting to run a high school, they've been singled out.
Next they will work in a community-run high school.
Xie Yun met the two people at Li's house after the Lunar New Year. She was very surprised and stood up and called out respectfully, "Teacher Li, Teacher Su."
Li Mingda and Su Hui never taught her. When Xie Yun was in the first grade, these two were teaching the second grade. When she was in the second grade, they started teaching the third grade. When she was in the third grade, they went back to teach the first grade.
But she had an impression of these two teachers. As a student, she knew all the teachers in the school, but she knew them, but they probably didn't know her.
In fact, when Li Mingda and Su Hui first heard the name Xie Yun, they had some impression of it, after all, it was a rare name. But that was all. They only remembered the name, not the person.
They have never taught anyone, nor have they dealt with each other directly, so there is no need to speak out and make a simple transaction more difficult.
Li Wenrui and Yu Ziqin probably had the same idea, so they never said anything about these things having anything to do with Xie Yunpan.
However, since Yu Ziqin accepted Xie Yun as his apprentice, the situation was different. There was no need to cultivate this friendship; it existed naturally.
Yu Ziqin told her, "Don't call them teacher. They never taught you, so there's no teacher-student relationship. You're my apprentice now, so call them senior brother or sister-in-law."
Xie Yun agreed with a smile, and still called him teacher when they met outside.
Besides the two of them, Xie Yun also met Yu Qiushi, He Shuying, and Li Mingda and Su Hui's eldest son Li Xingzhou, second daughter Li Helin, and third son Li Zhizhong. Of course, the third son should actually be called Yu Zhizhong, but he is now registered in the Li family household registration, calling Li Mingda and Su Hui "Mom and Dad," and nominally he and Li Helin are twins.
These people are all Xie Yun’s practice objects.
In addition to reading and familiarizing yourself with medical books, what is more important in learning traditional medicine is practice. Follow your master to see various patients and diseases, and learn various treatment methods. This will help you make progress faster. After all, this is an empirical science.
But given the current situation, this is obviously impossible.
Yu Ziqin was a good teacher, and she had a bit of a "trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people if you don't trust them" personality. She accepted Xie Yun completely, and in order to facilitate teaching, she brought all her family members with her, letting Xie Yun practice with them.
She also revealed some of her family's circumstances to Xie Yun. Seeing her apprentice so calm, Yu Ziqin was quite pleased. In this era, there are indeed many people who genuinely look down on people like them. Although she is kind-hearted, it would be a lie to say that she is not sad at all. They don't steal, rob, or cheat, and they are dedicated to healing and saving lives. How could they have fallen to this point?
Her apprentice is really good! She is steady and respectful to her master. She doesn't have any estrangement with her because of her background. Very good!
Yu Qiushi looked helplessly at his beaming sister, his face speechless. "You're lucky, you've met a good person. If you were less fortunate and got reported, I wonder how you'd still be so proud..."
But he couldn't help but sigh once again: his sister, a fool with good fortune. When it came to judging people, she had never made a mistake.
Since their appearance, Yu Qiushi and He Shuying have become Xie Yun's teachers, guiding her together with Yu Ziqin. Yu Qiushi teaches her traditional medical skills, and He Shuying teaches her how to perform surgery!
She said to Xie Yun, "Bring a live rabbit here and I'll teach you how to dissect it."
Xie Yun: “…”
Since April, Xie Yun has started practicing pulse taking and acupuncture.
All six adults in the family have been pricked by her.
While she was getting the acupuncture, Yu Qiushi and Yu Ziqin were there to give her guidance.
Now, she calls Yu Qiushi "Uncle Master" and Li Wenrui "Father Master".
Li Wenrui refused the title of "Uncle Li". He believed that calling him "Master" could better reflect the relationship between him and Yu Ziqin.
These are all names he uses in private. When he goes out, he is still Comrade Lao Li!
Of course, their business didn't stop. Xie Yun always brought something with her every time she came. With the arrival of spring, the variety of vegetables she could bring increased significantly.
She and Xie Shen went to the mountain to pick the beehive that Xie Shen had marked before and sold it to Yu Ziqin. Xie Yun originally wanted to show filial piety to her master, but Yu Ziqin was really a very good person. Occasionally, she would eat some vegetables for free from her as a payment for her tuition. For rare and expensive items like honey and grain, she would insist on paying her a price higher than the listed price.
"I know it's not easy for you to get these things. Master has plenty of money, so just keep them. If you feel embarrassed, just think of it as Master loving you."
Xie Yun: "...Master's love is truly valuable."
Yu Ziqin laughed out loud.
Later, Xie Yun went up the mountain again and found another beehive. He broke off a piece of honey from it, put it in an enamel jar, and took it to see Zhang Guangzong.
She broke off a piece of honeycomb the size of a fingernail and handed it to him. "Here, try it. I found it in the mountains."
Zhang Guangzong: “…”
