Chapter 214: Apprenticeship Gift

Because the yard at home is not big and the number of guests that can be invited is limited, only the more familiar families in the village were invited.

For example, the Zhou family, Yinzhu Xiaoshan's family, Xiaoman and Ayunpo and others.

Everyone was seated now.

Lord Qin naturally had to sit at the main table, which made Li Xiao and Baozhu's parents at the main table even more nervous. They didn't even listen carefully to the children's etiquette training.

The county magistrate was the most powerful official in their eyes, and even though he spoke to Doctor Yin's family in a friendly manner, it could not change their instinct to fear officials.

Jiang Wan didn't notice this, she was just watching A Niang's two little disciples kowtow obediently together.

Today, the two of them are wearing exactly the same new clothes, looking like a pair of adorable sisters.

After receiving training from the teacher, it was time to exchange gifts.

Anan and Baozhu nervously took out the gifts they had prepared together.

Jiang Wan stretched her neck to take a look. It was in a small cloth bag. When her mother took it out, she was shocked.

Oh my god, I just mentioned a few gloves a few days ago, and they actually made one!

Those gloves were not ordinary cotton gloves, nor were they wool gloves. Judging from the color and luster, they were probably made of leather.

"Master, Anan and I thought that you like to go up the mountain to collect herbs, and sometimes you may encounter poisonous herbs, so we prepared this pair of gloves. Anan and I tanned this pair of gloves together. It is made of sheepskin, which is soft, light and waterproof."

In order to retain the freshness, Baozhu used her mother's hands to make the gloves.

She observed carefully and found that A-niang's and Master's hands were very similar, except that Master's hands were whiter and more delicate.

The two young disciples presented the gifts to their master together, feeling very nervous, not knowing whether their master would be pleased or not.

This pair of gloves cost three hundred coins, only the sheepskin was a little more expensive. Anan was the main tanner, with Baozhu assisting. Anan had tanned animal skins in the mountains, so he was very good at tanning sheepskin. The rest was sewing the lining, etc. Baozhu specially went to ask Yin Ning for advice and learned a very good stitch-closing technique that could hide the needle thread.

If you don't look carefully, you can't see the sewing threads when you hold it in your hand.

Yin Huaixi tried it on right away and found it to be very snug. If it weren't for the hot weather, she would have worn it all the time.

"You two are very thoughtful. I like this gift very much. It will be useful for me when I go to collect herbs in the future."

It is not only useful for collecting herbs, but sometimes it is also very useful for contacting patients with infectious diseases.

Yin Huaixi was really moved.

"This pair of gloves is like you two. They will become my left and right hands in the future. Your gifts are so good that my gift this time is a bit embarrassing."

She smiled, picked up the two small boxes beside her and handed them to Anan and Baozhu.

When the two sisters opened it, they found a jade pendant carved into the shape of a lotus. The smooth jade made the lotus look lifelike, and their names were carved on the back.

What little girl doesn't love jade jewelry? Her eyes sparkled when she saw the beautiful lotus jade pendant with her name on it.

"You can't say no. A gift from an elder cannot be refused. This is also a token of my master's kindness."

Anan and Baozhu looked at each other and immediately put them away.

"Thank you, Master!"

From then on, Baozhu and Anan became Yin Huaixi's legitimate disciples and became sisters.

From now on, the three families will be treated as legitimate relatives. For a while, each family envied Baozhu's family.

After witnessing Dr. Yin's superb medical skills, Dr. Yin's status in the hearts of the villagers has become almost the same as that of the two masters.

Who doesn't want to have a good relationship with the Yin family?

Now that Baozhu has become her disciple, she has become as close to her as her own daughter. What a wonderful relationship.

Everyone felt a little jealous and soon became immersed in the aroma of the food on the table.

Obviously, all the fish, shrimps and crabs were caught from the same sea, but the Yin family prepared a feast with braised fish, crispy fish, butterfly shrimps, steamed oysters with garlic, and so on.

They were so engrossed in the food that they had no time to think about anything else.

Lord Qin couldn't stop eating either. He didn't have the airs of a county official at all, he just started eating, praising the crabs while chewing them.

Food is the bridge for everyone to communicate. Talking about food and eating crabs together, the atmosphere immediately becomes harmonious.

Yin Huaixi's disciple-recruiting banquet was quite successful.

After the meal, everyone helped to clean up, returned the tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, and then the Zhou family left with everyone else.

"Xiao Wanna, there will be a boat to pick you up tomorrow morning. The boatman will have an official badge on his waist. Remember to look carefully before getting on board."

Qin Zhen gave everyone a detailed explanation before leaving. The family then knew that Jiang Wan would start working in the city the next day.

"Oh, I'm just going to take care of some people. It will take three to five days at most. I will still be back at night, so it doesn't matter. And now that Anan and Baozhu are at home with me during the day, I feel a lot more at ease."

Yin Huaixi laughed unhappily after hearing this.

"Why are you pretending to be an adult at such a young age? I, your mother, still need you to worry about me."

"Hehe~"

Jiang Wan subconsciously looked at Li Xiao who had not left yet.

"Uncle Li, your leg injury hasn't healed completely yet, do you want me to check your pulse again?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Wan felt her mother gently pinch the soft flesh on her waist.

It doesn't hurt, it just itches.

When I turned around, there were four words in my mother's eyes.

Little bastard.

Jiang Wan surrendered immediately and dared not make a fuss anymore.

"Baozhu, is everything ready in the kitchen? Let me help you!"

The two people in the kitchen looked at each other, thinking that everything had been cleaned up, so why were they still helping?

"Tsk..."

Jiang Wan gently half-closed the door, and then the three of them tacitly walked over in silence.

When Baozhu's parents left just now, they had already closed the door. At this time, only Li Xiao and Yin Huaixi were left in the yard.

Although Jiang Wan seemed to be instigating the commotion just now, Yin Huaixi still asked about Li Xiao's injuries.

Seeing that he was hesitating and unable to speak a complete sentence, he was immediately pushed into the pharmacy.

"Do you want to take it off yourself or do you want me to cut it?"

Li Xiao's head was buzzing, and he felt like something was rushing to his forehead and then flowing down his nose.

Yin Huaixi: “…”

"Look down, you're bleeding from the nose..."

Li Xiao was dizzy. Just as he lowered his head obediently, he felt someone gently pinching his nose.

Even though his nose was pinched, he still seemed to smell the aroma of herbs coming from Doctor Yin's sleeves.

He didn't drink alcohol just now, why does he feel so dizzy...

"You have a heat stroke. Just pinch your nose. I'll make you some medicine soup. Drink it before you go back up the mountain."

Li Xiao blinked and pinched his nose with his own hands.

Anan, who soon got the news, gave him a cool handkerchief and put it on his forehead.

"Uncle, how did you get a heat stroke when you walk in the woods every day?"

Li Xiao didn't say anything.

"I know it even if you don't tell me~"

Anan raised his eyebrows, looking like he was enjoying a good show, then happily swung his braid and walked out the door, leaving Li Xiao pinching his nose and looking up at the sky helplessly.

Now that the little girl has a master, she doesn't want her uncle anymore.

A while ago, she was urging me to find my aunt, but now she just laughs at me and doesn't help at all.
