The children all agreed that they would train hard with the soldiers. Duoyi seemed to understand and waved his chubby little hand to attract everyone's attention: "Yes, yes, soldiers, soldiers."
Duolu kissed the little dumpling's cheek and coaxed, "Duoyi can't be a soldier. Being a soldier is too tiring. You're a little sister, so you don't have to work so hard. Just stay home and wait for your brothers to come back."
Military training was exciting for him, but also exhausting. He couldn't bear to let his delicate younger sister undergo the same training as him.
Whether Duoyi understood or not, she smiled and kissed him back, still saying in her childish voice, "Yes, yes, brother."
After resting for a while, Dorje and Dorje regained their energy and ran up to play with Dorje again.
After lunch, the children went back to training, and even the exhausted Dorje and Dorje didn't say they wouldn't go to training.
That evening, Gao Tianmu came over and started talking to Xia Taishun for a while.
Gao Tianmu: "Old Xia, Duofu and the others are physically fit for the army. When they reach the age, have them come and sign up. We should keep such good seedlings in the family."
In order to help Duofu and the others better integrate into the army, Xia Taishun arranged for them to train with Gao Weijun and others.
In the first training session, all the children except for Du Le, the youngest, completed all the training exercises.
In particular, the four older ones completed their missions faster than some of the regular soldiers. When the squad leader in charge of training learned that they were Xia Taishun's grandsons and nephews, the matter was reported up the chain of command until it reached Gao Tianmu.
Gao Tianmu specifically asked his grandson and learned that the people below were not exaggerating; Duofu and the others' performance was indeed unexpectedly excellent.
Who wouldn't like good seedlings? After Gao Tianmu finished talking to his grandson, he came over to reserve Duofu and a few others from Xia Taishun.
Xia Taishun chuckled and said, "That's not up to me; the children have to decide for themselves."
"As far as I know, Duoshou is studying medicine. He's twelve years old now and has already cured many people. He can make many kinds of pills, and their efficacy is no less than that of the 'Kangfutang' medicine we usually use."
"If you dare to recruit such a medical talent into your team, the hospital staff will definitely not let you off the hook."
The hundreds of prescriptions donated by Yu Rujia ten years ago have all been put into production and uniformly labeled with the "Kangfutang" brand.
Due to supply shortages, medicines from 'Kangfutang' were prioritized for use by the military and rarely circulated outside the region. Apart from government agencies, people in rural areas rarely knew about this brand.
However, most of the medicines distributed to the military now are from 'Kangfutang'.
Gao Tianmu was stunned: "Is Duoshou really only twelve years old? How can someone so young make such good medicine? If he really has such talent, shouldn't he have been taken to receive intensive education long ago? You're not lying, are you?"
In the public's perception, many Chinese medicine practitioners who have studied medicine their whole lives are unable to produce pills with the same efficacy as Western medicine. Otherwise, the status of Chinese medicine would not have been lower than that of Western medicine more than a decade ago.
The rise of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) began ten years ago when a reclusive master donated hundreds of TCM prescriptions, demonstrating to the world through tangible results that TCM is no less effective than Western medicine, and in many ways even surpasses it. Only then did TCM gain attention.
Traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions are kept very secret. A twelve-year-old child like Duoshou would definitely not be able to get his hands on a prescription. This means that the pills he made were either developed by himself or passed on to him by the person who taught him medicine.
Regardless of the specifics, the fact that so many pills could be made, and that they were so effective, is enough to prove that Duoshou had a very thorough understanding of medicinal herbs.
With such medical talent, Duoshou can truly be called a genius.
Xia Taishun: "Why would I lie to you? He learned his medical skills from Rujia. You know Rujia's medical skills. The soap your sister-in-law uses is made by her using a variety of medicinal herbs. The medicine used in their brigade is also made by Rujia."
Gao Tianmu has a deep understanding of the soap He Yan uses.
He Yan used to attract mosquitoes a lot; no matter how many people gathered together, she was always the one who attracted the most mosquitoes.
Since using Yu Rujia's soap, He Yan has not been attacked by mosquitoes again.
Her face was also much fairer, and she looked ten years younger than her actual age.
This gave him a sense of crisis, fearing that if he and his wife went out one day, people would say they were father and daughter.
He once wanted to use the soap, but He Yan, who had respected him for nearly thirty years, immediately turned against him. After that, she hid the soap tightly, and no one else, including him, was allowed to touch it.
A small bar of soap can bring about such good results. Even if he couldn't imagine how good Yu Rujia's medical skills were, he knew they must be extraordinary.
Gao Tianmu: "Rujia's medical skills are so good. In the past, there was no other way but to keep her there to take care of your family. Now that they are all safe and sound, it would be a waste to keep Rujia in the countryside."
“You can definitely find a way to transfer her to our military hospital. If it’s inconvenient for you to say it yourself, I can do it for you. They’ll be thrilled to have someone as talented as Rujia.”
Gao Guojing had worked in the Shangfen Brigade for several years, and with his time with Yu Rujia these past few days, Xia Taishun knew her lazy nature well. Unless absolutely necessary, getting her to work herself to death was out of the question.
Xia Taishun was also unwilling to force Yu Rujia to do things.
Besides, he knew that Yu Rujia was very opinionated. Even if he spoke up, she would never agree. Instead, she would tell the Xia family in the capital and give him a good scolding.
In the hearts of the Xia family in Beijing, Yu Rujia was far more important than him, and Xia Taishun didn't want to provoke her.
Xia Taishun: "Rujia is easygoing and unrestrained. Anyway, she has already trained an excellent Duoshou. If Duoshou encounters a problem in the future, he can go to her for answers. Rujia will definitely help him. We shouldn't force it."
Gao Tianmu: "In that case, let's forget about Rujia. When Duoshou reaches the appropriate age, how about we have him come to our military region as a military doctor? Duoshou is skilled in combat and medicine. If he goes on a few more missions, his rank will rise."
"As for the other children, let them choose for themselves. We have many branches of the military, and there is bound to be one that suits them."
With a few promising talents at his disposal, he could accomplish many things. He didn't want to bury the potential of Duofu and the others; if they joined the military region, their future would be limitless.
With them standing here, no one dares to embezzle the credit of Duofu and others.
Xia Taishun: "Let's wait until they're a bit older. But one thing is for sure: while not all of them will join the army, some will definitely. We'll just have to wait."
He had already heard Duoluduoxi chattering about wanting to join the army.
