In the days that followed, the daughter was like a wound-up alarm clock, rising before dawn every day to recite medical texts with Jiang Zhi. She stumbled through the difficult classical texts, but never complained. Jiang Zhi patiently corrected her pronunciation and explained the meanings, and the daughter listened intently, never blinking, afraid to miss a single point.
During the day at the clinic, her daughter was no longer just a bystander. She began taking patients' temperatures and blood pressures, and although her technique was still a little rusty, she performed every movement with meticulous precision. Whenever she encountered a question she didn't understand, she would follow Jiang Zhi around, asking questions non-stop. Jiang Zhi always patiently answered her questions, and watching her daughter grow up brought him great joy.
Once, an elderly man with a sprained ankle came to the clinic. Jiang Zhi was busy treating another critically ill patient, so her daughter volunteered to help. She imitated her mother's usual behavior, first helping the man sit down on a chair, then gently lifting his foot and carefully examining the injury. Although her face flushed and her hands trembled slightly, she managed to maintain composure.
"Uncle, don't worry, my mother will be here soon. I'll help you first." The daughter's childish voice sounded, and a smile appeared on the uncle's face, which was originally tense due to pain.
"Little girl, you are so sensible." The uncle praised.
The daughter smiled a little embarrassedly, then ran to get an ice pack and gently applied it to the uncle's ankle, reminding him: "Uncle, you need to apply ice to your foot for a while. This will reduce the swelling and relieve the pain. Later, my mother will apply medicine to you and you will get better quickly."
Jiang Zhi finished her work and came over. Seeing her daughter's methodical operation, her eyes were full of surprise. "Baby, you did a great job!"
When the daughter heard her mother’s praise, her eyes lit up like stars, her little chest stood up high, and her face was full of pride.
As her studies progressed, her daughter encountered more complex illnesses. She began learning from Jiang Zhi how to prescribe medicine, a difficult task. The efficacy and dosage of each herb must be precisely determined; even the slightest mistake could compromise the efficacy.
To memorize the properties of a single herb, her daughter would often stay up all night reading materials and reciting them. Sometimes, she would get frustrated when she made a mistake in prescribing a medicine, but with Jiang Zhi's encouragement, she would always pick herself up and delve into the subject again.
At school, my daughter has become known as a "little miracle doctor" in the eyes of her classmates. If a classmate accidentally cuts their hand, she'll immediately pull out her own small first aid kit and disinfect and bandage the wound with astonishing skill. Her classmates are deeply impressed and flock to her, asking her all sorts of medical trivia. My daughter always patiently answers, her eyes sparkling with the joy of sharing knowledge.
However, the path to medical study was not smooth sailing. As my daughter progressed, she encountered unprecedented difficulties. Some advanced medical theories were difficult for her to fully grasp, no matter how hard she tried. Repeated failures in exams weighed heavily on her.
During a mock exam, my daughter looked at the glaring red crosses on her test paper and tears welled up in her eyes. She wondered why she couldn't do well despite trying so hard, and wondered if she wasn't cut out for medicine.
When she got home, she walked straight into her room and lay on the table, crying silently. Jiang Zhi noticed that her daughter was not doing well and knocked on the door gently. Seeing her daughter's tear-stained face, she felt very distressed.
"Baby, what's wrong?" Jiang Zhi asked softly.
The daughter raised her head and choked up, saying, "Mom, am I really stupid? Why can't I study well? I failed the test again."
Jiang Zhi sat down next to her daughter, hugged her, and patted her back gently. "Silly child, studying medicine is not that easy. Mom went through the same thing in her life. Failing an exam is nothing. What matters is whether you learned something from it."
The daughter burst into tears in her mother's arms, venting her frustration and stress. After she finished crying, she raised her head, her eyes rekindled with fighting spirit. "Mom, I get it. I won't give up. I'm sure I can learn this."
With Jiang Zhi's careful teaching and her daughter's unremitting efforts, her daughter's medical skills have become increasingly sophisticated. She can not only skillfully treat common diseases, but also has her own insights into some difficult and complicated diseases.
Years later, her daughter stood on the podium, holding the trophy of the highest honor in the medical field, tears of excitement and pride in her eyes. Below, Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen looked at her with gratification, their hearts filled with emotion.
In her acceptance speech, the daughter said, "I want to thank my mother. It was she who ignited my dream of studying medicine when I was a child. It was also her who accompanied me and supported me all the way, ensuring I never lost my way on this difficult medical path. I will continue to work hard and use my medical skills to help more people and free them from the torment of illness."
The audience applauded loudly, and tears of happiness welled up in Jiang Zhi's eyes. She knew that her daughter had fulfilled her wish, and this legacy would continue in the family, bringing hope and light to more people.
