After getting drunk, he accidentally ended up working at a Chinese medicine clinic, which was something You Tianfu had never expected.
On his first day at work, Dr. Hua gave him a white coat and went to the medicine shelf to check on his knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine.
In terms of theoretical knowledge, You Tianfu had a solid foundation. After all, he had been exposed to various herbal remedies since childhood and had read numerous books on traditional Chinese medicine, so he knew the names of almost all of them. However, when it came to practical application, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Apart from some commonly used herbs, he only knew the names of many less popular Chinese medicines, but not their actual properties.
When a Chinese doctor asked him about the effects of sea breeze vine, he immediately replied that it dispelled wind and dampness, relieved pain, relieved cramps, and cleared the lungs of cold. It can be used to treat wind-cold-dampness arthralgia, injuries from falls, coughs, chest tightness, and phlegm and shortness of breath. But when he grabbed a handful of sea breeze vine and held it before his eyes, he didn't even know what the medicine was...
Although he still had many shortcomings in various aspects, it was not easy for a young man to retain theoretical knowledge so firmly. Hua Zhongyi said nothing on the surface, but he was secretly satisfied. He wanted to see how he would perform in the future and even considered passing on all his life's knowledge to him.
The clinic wasn't busy, with only a few patients coming in each day. You Tianfu's job was mostly cleaning, occasionally helping out while Hua Zhongyi dispensed medicine. As the days went by, he became increasingly familiar with the young nurse, and the two of them would often get together to chat and gossip.
The young nurse's real name is Hua Xiaohong, and Hua Zhongyi is his grandfather, also known as Hua Qian. He opened his own Chinese medicine clinic at the age of 30, and is now 67. Although Yishantang's facade may seem small, it's been around for over 30 years, and most of the patients who come to see him are repeat customers.
When Hua Xiaohong was still in school, her parents left for work and never returned. Hua Qian relied on Yishan Hall to raise her and pay for her education. The journey of this young and old over the years has been truly remarkable.
Despite her modest family background, Hua Xiaohong excelled in her studies and successfully passed the postgraduate entrance exam after graduating from university. Her dream was to study abroad, but finances were a major issue. To spare Hua Qian the burden, she lied about not passing the exam and chose to stay at the clinic day and night to accompany him.
Speaking of the job posting at the entrance, Hua Xiaohong secretly told You Tianfu that it had actually been written a long time ago. At the time, she hadn't come to help yet, and Hua Qian was feeling a bit tired from seeing patients and prescribing medicine on his own, so he wanted to take in an apprentice. When she returned, the clinic actually no longer needed an apprentice, but they had forgotten to take the post away.
As for why Hua Qian accepted You Tianfu, Hua Xiaohong laughed and said, "Who doesn't like free workers? Haha..."
It's true that love grows over time. You Tianfu and Hua Xiaohong, two young people in their prime, were just beginning to fall in love. As they spent time together, their relationship became increasingly ambiguous, but neither of them broke the ice.
Although he had no salary, he lived a comfortable life. Under Hua Qian's guidance, You Tianfu also learned some knowledge of Chinese medicine that he had never been exposed to before. Just when he was hesitating whether to continue on the path of Chinese medicine, an unexpected change made him deviate from his route again!
That evening, You Tianfu finished cleaning and was about to go back to the apartment after get off work. As soon as he walked out of the door of Yishan Hall, he saw five young people drinking and chatting at the table outside the barbecue stall next door.
These guys, ranging from 17 to 18 years old to their 20s, were shirtless, had wild hairstyles, and were often covered in tattoos. They were typical young men in society. Once they were a little tipsy, they became louder, shouting and chatting, causing many customers who wanted to eat barbecue to stay away. The barbecue stall owner was also complaining bitterly, but there was nothing he could do except serve them well and hope they would drink and leave early.
You Tianfu narrowed his eyes and observed them carefully. He discovered that one of the older men was their leader. He had a black dragon tattooed on his back and was called "Brother Long" by everyone. Brother Long boasted loudly to his subordinates, saying that he had once fought ten people alone and that he was sworn brothers with the mayor. When he spoke of his generosity, the subordinates also echoed his cries.
Looking at these people, You Tianfu felt a little uneasy, so he returned to the clinic and reminded Hua Qian: "Master Hua, there are a few people outside who look uneasy. Why don't we close the clinic early today?"
Hua Qian didn't really care. He stroked his beard and sighed, "It's okay. People like this happen almost every day. Young people nowadays are so impetuous and naive. The world has become better, but people have become worse. It's sad, so sad..."
Hua Xiaohong also tried to comfort him: "There are too many people like this. Some of them can drink until 2 or 3 o'clock. It gives the owner of the barbecue restaurant next door a headache. You can go back. I'm here."
Seeing the old man and the child, You Tianfu became even more worried, so he decided not to leave and went to the back room to find a bed to lie down on, sleeping in the clinic that night. Hua Qian agreed to his wishes, as the bed was empty anyway. Hua Xiaohong even said she would tell him off, but she was secretly smiling. Having a man by her side in the clinic did make her feel a little more at ease.
Facts have proved that Youtianfu’s choice this time was correct!
While they were talking, another table of customers came to the barbecue restaurant outside. There were only three of them, but they were all burly men. Although their identities and occupations could not be seen, they were definitely not easy to mess with.
The three of them sat down, and one of them with a crew cut called the waiter to take their order. The people at Brother Long's table were still holding their wine bottles and spitting, the sound was so loud that it drowned out everything else.
After a few shouts, the guy with the buzz cut got a little impatient and complained, "Dude, can you be a little quieter? You're spitting all over me!"
Under normal circumstances, Brother Long would definitely know his own limitations. Looking at the three opponents' burly figures, he would never dare to provoke trouble even if he was unwilling to give in.
But alcohol makes a coward bolder. At this moment, Brother Long was at the peak of his pretense. In his own words, he would kill gods and Buddhas, fearless! Hearing someone dare to complain, he threw the bottle at them without even looking.
Seeing this, the buzz cut man raised his hand to protect his face, and the bottle hit his elbow, smashing it into pieces. His arm was fine, not even a scratch on the skin! Then he stood up and walked over, also picked up a bottle, and smashed it on Brother Long's head with a snap.
At the same time, the other two men were eager to follow suit. Brother Long was stunned by the blow and sat slumped on the stool for a long time without any reaction. The other four brothers, however, saw the situation clearly and quickly intervened, apologizing profusely.
The three of them didn't want to cause any trouble, so they stopped eating the barbecue and turned away.
Looking at Brother Long again, half of his face was covered in blood, and the exact size of the gash in his head was impossible to tell. Seeing this, the four younger brothers quickly covered his head with tissues, then looked up and saw the lights still on in the Chinese medicine clinic, and rushed in carrying the man...
