Chapter 581 Let Ye Rou be the dean?
A warm breeze blew, and green frogs in the pond squatted on the lotus leaves, croaking non-stop.
The master and his Western apprentice sat around a round table in the courtyard and talked about their experiences over the years.
After hearing what their master had experienced in Dahe Village, the three disciples fell silent and said with guilt: "Master, you have worked hard these years."
"That's enough. There's no point dwelling on the past." Liu Yutang put down his teacup and glanced at his three disciples. "You're not just here to see me, are you?"
"Master, we are here to ask you something."
Ding Zichun spoke first.
Seeing them hesitating, Liu Yutang's faces flushed red. He said dissatisfiedly, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you dithering?"
Wang Xinchao smiled and said, "This is good news. Tell Master."
"Master, we want to set up a traditional Chinese medicine hospital and would like to ask you to come out and be the director." Ding Zichun made the request.
Liu Yutang waved his hand: "I'm old and can't do this any more."
He worked as a barefoot doctor all his life, did things in a casual way, hated rules and regulations, and could not become a hospital director.
Ding Zichun understood his master's character and knew that he hated trouble and rules, so he pleaded again, "Master, just be an honorary dean and don't worry about the hospital's affairs."
"Don't worry about me not going."
Liu Yutang was sorting out the ancient medical books and manuscripts left by his master, tending to the medicinal herbs he planted in the garden, chatting with old friends, talking about gossip, playing chess, and boxing...
After Xiaorou gave birth to the child, he took care of the child and lived a happy life. He didn't know how happy he was.
Why would you want to make yourself uncomfortable and go to work?
Seeing that his three disciples were still trying to persuade him, Liu Yutang scolded them, "You three little bastards! I've been tired all my life. What's wrong with wanting to take a break at this age?"
"You're the president of some association, but you can't control the situation. You want your master, who has one foot in the grave, to work for you. I think your conscience has been eaten by dogs!"
Being scolded by his master, Zhao Quhan listened attentively and muttered softly: "You don't look like you have one foot in the coffin at all."
"You little bastard, I heard everything!" Liu Yutang was so angry that he punched the brat.
Zhao Quhan covered his head and asked in astonishment, "Master, how come your ears are so good now?"
When Liu Yutang was young and went to the battlefield, his ear was blown off by a shell. He was not deaf, but his hearing was not very good.
Zhao Quhan is the youngest and has a naughty personality. He takes advantage of his master's inability to hear clearly and often complains about his master. Now he is caught in the act and is stunned.
"Hmph!" Liu Yutang slapped the brat again and sat back in his chair.
After drinking the nourishing soup cooked by Xiaorou last night, I woke up with clear ears and eyes, and my hearing was shockingly good.
But there are also bad things.
He didn't think it was noisy to have a frog in the yard before, but now he really thinks this frog is so noisy.
Lao Zheng was right. He should secretly throw away the frogs Lao Zhou raised.
"Master." Ding Zichun called Liu Yutang's attention back and pleaded again, "Master, Chinese medicine is very weak in Beijing right now. We really need you."
Seeing his disciple's insistence, Liu Yutang's eyes turned and he suddenly said, "Don't you just want a dean? I do have a candidate to recommend."
Ding Zichun asked excitedly, "Who is it?"
Among the three apprentices, Ding Zichun has the strongest sense of responsibility. Since he became the president of the Chinese Medicine Association, he has consciously shouldered the future of Chinese medicine in Beijing.
I have no choice but to ask the master to come out of seclusion now.
Now that he heard that there was another candidate for his master, he was extremely excited. He held the teacup tightly in his hand, his eyes full of anticipation.
Under his impatient gaze, Liu Yutang said slowly, "Your junior sister."
"What?" The three disciples were shocked.
Ding Zichun shook his head and said, "Junior sister is still in school, I'm afraid being the dean..."
Liu Yutang snorted coldly: "You saw her medical skills during the competition, didn't you? How does she compare to you?"
Ding Zichun praised: "He is so accurate with the needle, so experienced, and so good at improvisation. I can't even compare to him."
Liu Yutang boasted along his white beard, "Your little junior sister is talented and hardworking. I've only taught her for less than a year, and she's already achieved such great results. Her future is limitless. I'm more than qualified to be your dean. You can even say you've gotten a great bargain."
"Master, being the dean is not an easy job. Without help, it will be difficult to get started. People from the Western Medicine Association are also eyeing us covetously. Junior sister may not be able to endure this hardship." Wang Xinchao advised.
Liu Yutang snorted coldly: "Let me tell you, there is no one in Jing City who can bully Xiao Rou."
Wang Xinchao frowned, and he scanned the courtyard and what he saw and heard along the way into the courtyard.
Could it be that the junior sister’s identity is not simple?
He asked tentatively, "Isn't Junior Sister the disciple you accepted from Dahe Village?"
"Don't ask about these. I can only say that it's a good thing for you that Xiaorou becomes the dean." That was all Liu Yutang said.
Wang Xinchao seemed to be thinking about something.
Seeing that his two brothers had fallen silent, Zhao Quhan muttered, "But Master, Junior Sister is a woman after all. Can she..."
Before Zhao Quhan could finish his words, Liu Yutang grabbed him and beat him up.
"What's wrong with being a woman? You weren't born by a woman? Women hold up half the sky. How are you better than a woman?"
Liu Yutang beat and scolded him.
Zhao Quhan ran around the yard holding his head, his gold-rimmed glasses falling off. He begged for mercy again and again, "Master, I was wrong. Please don't hit me."
Liu Yutang was panting with exhaustion. "You three brats, let me tell you, you got a great deal with Xiaorou being the dean. Xiaorou has plenty of money, connections, and skills. Even without you, she would have been able to run a Chinese medicine hospital sooner or later!"
Ding Zichun and the other two exchanged glances and said in unison, "Master, setting up a Chinese medicine hospital isn't just a matter for the three of us. We need to go back and discuss this with the rest of the association."
"Okay, let's go. I get a headache just seeing you guys." Liu Yutang waved his hand and drove them out.
Ding Zichun and the other two smiled bitterly. They came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. It was indeed not a good time to continue the conversation. Finally, they shook their heads and left.
As soon as I left the East Courtyard, I saw Principal Ji standing in front of the West Courtyard.
Principal Ji stood in front of the courtyard, his hands clasped together, his face full of tension.
Just as the three were about to call Principal Ji, they saw Ye Rou walk out from the west courtyard and shake her head at Principal Ji.
Principal Ji's hands hung limply, and he looked as if he had aged ten years.
The three of them gave up the idea of talking to Ji Chunming, nodded to Ye Rou, and left silently.
After watching the three brothers leave, Ye Rou asked, "Principal Ji, are you going back to school?"
"Ah?" Ji Chunming came back to his senses, unable to hide the dejection on his face. He said dejectedly, "I'll go back."
My aunt didn't want to see Principal Ji, and Ye Rou didn't try to persuade her. She just ignored Principal Ji's dejected look and led him out, saying, "I have to go to school for class. Let's go together."
