Chapter 466 Meeting an Old Acquaintance



Yu Rujia patted the young men on the shoulder: "Yes, your aunt will miss you too."

Duoxi sidled up to her, wanting to rub against her like he used to, but he found that he was much taller than her and could only hug her like Duolu did.

Duoxi: "Auntie, we'll come back when we're on holiday. If you miss us, write to us, and we'll write to you too. Remember to write back."

The two bid farewell to their uncle and brothers before reluctantly boarding the train.

After seeing off the two who were going to military academy, it was two days later that it was time for Duoshou to start school.

Duo Shou's school was a ten-minute bike ride from the Xia family home, so Yu Rujia and her three sons rode their bicycles to take him to school.

I visited one of the top medical schools in the country. It was a vast school, and unlike other schools with their green spaces planted with flowers and grass, Muzhida used medicinal herbs instead of flowers and grass.

Everywhere you look, there are vast fields of medicinal herbs.

The three sons followed Duoshou to collect medicinal herbs for a month or two, and they recognized most of the commonly used herbs. The herbs that Muzhida used for green belts were within their knowledge.

Dorjee said, "Mom, many of the medicinal herbs grown here are useful to pharmaceutical companies. Could you talk to the school and ask them to sell the herbs to us?"

Duole waved his arms and said, "So many medicinal herb fields are enough for the company to use for a long time. Mom, shall we go find the principal? With these herbs, the company can make more money."

He's been diagnosed; he's a money-grubbing guy.

Duo Yi shook Yu Rujia's hand and looked at her with her big, dark eyes: "Mom, find the principal and buy some herbs."

Yu Rujia patted the little guy's head: "Don't think about it. These herbs are for students to experiment with. If they are sold to us, students like your third brother will have no herbs to use."

Their commotion attracted the attention of two elderly men not far away. One of them suddenly widened his eyes: "Advisor Yu? Advisor Yu, Advisor Yu."

Yu Rujia felt that the voice was somewhat familiar. She turned around and saw Dean Zhong, an old acquaintance, running towards them.

Yu Rujia walked up with a surprised look: "Dean Zhong, are you a professor here?"

At the end of 1977, Dean Zhong was transferred from the town hospital, but unexpectedly he was transferred here.

Dean Zhong exclaimed with delight, "It really is you! I recommended you to teach here before, but when I called back, I learned that you were no longer with the Shangfen Brigade."

"I heard you came to the capital, but I haven't had the chance to meet you yet. I never expected to run into you here. I'm a professor here. Did you send your child to study here?"

"Is this the child? He's really good-looking, and he smells strongly of medicine. He must have learned a lot from you, right?"

In late 1977 or 1988, he called back to Shangfen Brigade to look for Yu Rujia and ask if she was interested in coming to Muzhida to teach.

He hadn't found the person, which had always been a regret in his heart, but he never expected to run into them here.

Yu Rujia brought four people. Since the three were too young, Professor Zhong's eyes fell on the oldest, Duoshou.

Although his face still looked childish, the medicinal smell emanating from him was something only someone who had been immersed in medicine for many years could have.

Duo Shou didn't smell of medicine before, but after Runhe Company opened, Xia Jingsheng often dragged him there to get medicine, and he spent his summer vacations surrounded by medicine, so the smell of medicine stuck to his body.

Yu Rujia chuckled and said, "Now I should call you Professor Zhong. It's been many years, and you look even better than before. Professor Zhong, you're living a smooth and successful life. You're not far from having students all over the world."

Professor Zhong laughed and said, "It's alright. Coming here to teach students and feel the vigor of young people has made me look a bit healthier."

Yu Rujia: "I hope Professor Zhong can stay young forever. This is my son, Duoshou, whose full name is Xia Shiyi. He has been learning medicine from me since he was a child. Now he has entered the University of Wood, and I hope you will take good care of him."

Professor Zhong knew that Yu Rujia had several children, but he had never had direct contact with them before.

Duo Shou greeted him gently, "Hello, Professor Zhong."

Professor Zhong patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Good, good, you've been learning from your aunt for many years, you must be quite skilled. Come with me to the lab later."

Yu Rujia: "Isn't it inappropriate for Duoshou to go to the lab right after arriving at the school?"

Professor Zhong said nonchalantly, "What's wrong with that? Duoshou is someone you taught. I wouldn't dare to act arrogantly in front of him."

"He came to the academy just to get a diploma. He has the ability, and it's only a matter of time before he gets into the lab."

"Since you're in the capital, why don't you come to the academy as a professor? It's a real shame that someone with your medical skills isn't teaching and nurturing students."

Yu Rujia: "What's the pity? I'm just an unlicensed barefoot doctor, while the prestigious Muzhi University is the top medical school in the country. Every professor here is from a top university."

"If you really let me come here as a professor, wouldn't that just tarnish the reputation of Kinoshita University? I won't come here to cause trouble for you."

Professor Zhong: "We value medical skill here; the most capable rise to the top. Your medical skills surpass mine; who would dare laugh at you?"

"Not to mention me, Lao Zhu still misses you and has been trying to bring you to the school. Lao Zhu is also a professor here, and with my guarantee and his endorsement, you're definitely going to become a professor."

The "Old Zhu" he mentioned was the attending physician who, along with Yu Rujia, saved the leader many years ago; he was a scalpel expert who wielded the scalpel quickly and steadily.

Yu Rujia: "Forget it, I'm running a pharmacy now, and I'm too busy to be a professor."

The elderly man accompanying Professor Zhong, who had been listening for a while, finally found an opportunity to ask, "Old Zhong, who is this?"

Professor Zhong enthusiastically introduced, "Old Lin, this is Consultant Yu whom I've been telling you about. Few people in the country can match her medical skills."

"Consultant Yu, this is my colleague, Professor Lin. He is a fellow practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine and is an expert in the field. He is one of the top TCM experts in our college."

Professor Zhong and Professor Zhu are skilled in Western medicine. He noticed that Yu Rujia's treatment methods mostly used traditional Chinese medicine, so he assumed that she was only skilled in traditional Chinese medicine.

Professor Lin said calmly, "I have long heard that Consultant Yu is incredibly skilled with silver needles and his medicine-making skills are unmatched. Today I finally get to see it for myself. I wonder if Consultant Yu would have time to sit in the conference room?"

Yu Rujia: "I came to Beijing two years ago. I don't work at the hospital anymore, so I don't need this consultant's attire anymore. You two professors can just call me Xiao Yu."

"As for medical skills, I do have some experience, but it's not as exaggerated as Professor Zhong said. Besides, I have no intention of taking a position at the academy, so I can only disappoint Professor Zhong and Professor Lin's good intentions."

Professor Zhong: "Comrade Yu just mentioned that you run a pharmacy. With you managing it, it must be quite extraordinary. May I ask which one it is?"

"I've been thinking about those medicines you made before; I might need to trouble you someday."
