Yu Ziqin followed him out. After he left, she locked the door from the inside and came back to continue chatting with Xie Yun. "I'll give you the money first. We can talk about other things after we settle the bill."
She went back to the house and took out 15 yuan for Xie Yun.
Xie Yun didn't hesitate to take it and put it in his pocket.
Yu Ziqin smiled and said, "Xiao Xie, think about what the old man said just now. It will be easier for you to find a job than your mother. I heard from the old man that you have already studied in high school. If you are willing, you can learn some medical skills. When the time comes, the old man will recommend you to work in the commune health center. Find an opportunity for the health center to recommend you to go to medical school for further studies. Maybe you can work in the county hospital in the future."
Xie Yun: “…”
This is fantastic! Her career path is already planned for her.
Xie Yun was also very frank. "I won't hide it from you. I have found a way out for myself before. The brigade is currently building a middle school. It is estimated that it will be completed by the beginning of spring. The specific opening date is still uncertain. I have already made an agreement with our brigade leader that I will become a junior high school teacher in the future. I graduated from high school myself, which is considered a high level of education in our brigade."
Yu Ziqin said, "I remember you told your uncle Li that you didn't finish high school?"
"No, I didn't finish. I only finished my freshman year. But I studied at home. I went to the county office a while ago to apply for my diploma and officially passed the exam. Our principal said the exam was based on the difficulty of the 1965 college entrance exam, and I passed it all with excellent grades. That's why I can say I graduated from high school. I got my diploma. The last time I told Uncle Li about my academic qualifications, I hadn't received my diploma yet. I got it later."
Yu Ziqin stood up, walked around her twice, and asked, "You were able to complete high school courses and pass the exams well. Doesn't that mean you have a strong learning ability?"
"Of course."
Xie Yun was not at all vain, boasting, "I have a very good memory. I can remember anything after reading it twice. I also have good logical thinking. I am very good at math, physics and chemistry."
"So you're going to be a teacher, do you still want to learn medicine?"
"Yes! Many skills are always a burden. I want to learn everything!"
Xie Yun looked at her with burning eyes, "Where can I learn medicine?"
Yu Ziqin was calm and composed. "It's so far away, yet so close. Just learn from me. My family has been practicing medicine for generations, and our skills are quite impressive. Your Uncle Li was an apprentice in my family's clinic, learning medicine from my father, and later returned here to open a clinic. Your Uncle Li, you have some qualifications."
As she spoke, she blatantly observed Xie Yun's reaction.
Xie Yun was amused by her and said with a smile: "I had guessed some of it before."
Yu Ziqin said, "Traditional medicine is good. Look at today's barefoot doctors; many of them rely on herbal medicine to treat illnesses and save lives. If your Uncle Li hadn't opened that clinic, nothing would have happened. He used to be the director of the commune health center. Now that he's been assigned to collect medicine, it's a sign of extra care for him because of his age."
Some people were in a similar situation as him and were sent to the countryside to work.
Don't look at him like that; he has some connections at the commune clinic and can have some influence. He can't go back for the time being, but if you learn the medical skills well, he will definitely recommend you for a job."
Xie Yun smiled and said, "Then I will become your disciple and learn medical skills from you. When I have learned enough and you think I am ready to become your apprentice, we can talk about work later."
As he spoke, Xie Yun stood up and bowed respectfully to Yu Ziqin.
Yu Ziqin did not stop her. Since she had decided to accept this apprentice, she would teach her well. She was her master now, and it was only right for her to accept her courtesy.
After Xie Yun finished his greetings, Yu Ziqin pulled her to sit down and said, "Let's make it clear first. Our apprenticeship and your giving me gifts are two different things. You should take the money. When I, your master, really can't survive one day, then we can rely on you for support. There's no need for it now."
Xie Yun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"I heard you, Uncle Li. No, you call him Master Daddy now, forget it, just call him Uncle Li. I heard him say that you borrowed the book Modern Practical Chinese Medicine from him a while ago. How much did you read and how much did you remember?"
"I saw it all and remembered it all."
"Have you remembered everything?"
"Yes."
"Then let me test you."
"Please come in!"
Yu Ziqin named a Chinese herb and asked Xie Yun to describe its nature, flavor, meridians, functions, and preparation methods. She listed several, and Xie Yun answered them one by one.
"You really remembered it!"
"Look at what you're saying. I don't need to brag. It's all things that will be exposed in an instant."
"That's right."
"Wait a minute, I'll get you two more books. Every time you come to my place to drop off something, I'll teach you something. You can study at home, and if you have any questions, come and ask me."
"OK."
Xie Yun asked her, "Can I teach my mother and my brother what you taught me?"
Yu Ziqin smiled and said, "Okay."
She went into the inner room and after a while, she took out two books. Xie Yun took them and looked at them. They were the two volumes of "Huangdi Neijing" Lingshu and Suwen, both of which were old.
"Thank you, Master. I will definitely take a good look."
"Yes. It's best to make a copy for yourself so that you can refer to it anytime later."
"I remember that."
Yu Ziqin smiled and said, "It's cold today, you should go back first. I'm afraid your shoes are not very comfortable. Our teaching work will start after the New Year."
"Ah." Xie Yun agreed, looked at his feet, and smiled, "It's really hard to walk. The soles of my shoes are too hard. Master, I'll go back first."
