What did Zhang Jianguo say to his grandfather and father over there?
After Zhang Jianguo ran over, in addition to conveying Ning Xiyue's words, he also made the most crucial promise to his grandfather.
"Master, if you agree to teach Sister Yue how to make wine, I will learn your craft from now on. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to make wine, I will definitely not catch frogs. I will definitely become a winemaker better than you."
"You kid, aren't you unwilling to learn how to brew wine? Are you willing to do it for Dr. Xiao Ning? You keep telling me, do you like Dr. Xiao Ning?"
Old Master Zhang looked at Ning Xiyue several times, his gaze moving back and forth between Zhang Jianguo and Ning Xiyue.
“No, no, no, absolutely not.”
Zhang Jianguo shook his head like a rattle. The scene of Wu Laogen and Li Cuihua falling into the cesspool was still fresh in his mind. He had no second thoughts now and was determined to recognize his elder sister.
"Grandpa, please don't talk nonsense. Xiao Ning, the educated youth, is in a relationship, and her partner is a soldier. I just want to thank her for saving my life. She saved your grandson's life. Can you do it?"
Mr. Zhang agreed without hesitation: "Okay, when Xiao Ning is studying, you have to come and study with him. You can't be lazy."
He was just waiting for this assurance from the boy. Doctor Xiao Ning's medical skills were even better than those of the barefoot doctors before. It was always good to make friends. Everyone gets sick sometimes, and this boy should indeed be thanked for saving his life.
He learned the winemaking skills from an old Chinese medicine practitioner in the mountains whom he met by chance, and now teaching it to Dr. Xiao Ning can be considered a kind of inheritance.
"Grandpa, you can order me around from now on. I will always listen to you and study hard."
After Zhang Jianguo finished speaking, he went to talk to his father briefly, then trotted towards Ning Xiyue happily.
"Sister Yue, there's no problem with learning to brew wine. My grandfather wants to talk to you for a while."
Ning Xiyue relaxed instantly after hearing Zhang Jianguo's words, and felt more comfortable. The winery in the space would not be useless. Even if she learned some superficial knowledge, she could use the winery, so it would not be considered a waste of the winery she signed in for.
There is also the hope of drinking the wine brewed by yourself.
"Okay, let's go over there." Ning Xiyue stood up, put the bench aside, and followed Zhang Jianguo to the stove where sorghum was steaming. She greeted the two of them first.
Grandpa Zhang smiled kindly and said, "Doctor Xiaoning, I heard you wanted to learn how to brew wine and make medicinal wine. I've been brewing wine for half my life, and there's no one in this family who's better than me. This brat's mediocre skills are completely unqualified."
Mr. Zhang glanced at his grandson standing beside him with disdain and recommended himself:
"You should learn from me, the old man. I have accepted many apprentices in the past and I am very experienced in teaching people. I will definitely teach you with all my heart and make you a master as soon as possible."
Mr. Zhang glanced at his grandson and continued seriously:
"You don't have to feel any burden. You don't need to recognize us as your masters, and you don't need to give us anything. Jianguo is still alive here because of you. We teach you how to make wine to thank you for your kindness and to make us feel more at ease."
Ning Xiyue shook her head with a faint smile on her face: "Don't talk like that, old man. It's my duty. As a barefoot doctor on the team, this is what I should do. You don't have to take it to heart."
Mr. Zhang pretended to be angry and said:
"It's a fact that you saved Jianguo, and we should express our gratitude. If you don't let us express our gratitude, our family will always be resentful about this matter and feel uncomfortable. You don't want us to feel depressed, right?"
Zhang Jianguo responded in a friendly manner, "No, Sister Yue is a good doctor on the team. She wouldn't want this to happen, right, Sister Yue?"
"I believe that, too. Just listen to me and learn how to make wine. From now on, spare two hours every afternoon after work to come and study with me. If you really can afford it, I have a small request."
Old Master Zhang stuck his thumb and index finger together and made a little movement, with a slightly embarrassed and nervous expression on his face.
"Okay, let's do as you say." Ning Xiyue was amused by the grandfather and grandson singing the same tune. She nodded in agreement and listened attentively: "If you have any requirements, please tell me."
"Can you give me a share of the medicinal wine you make in the future? You don't have to give me a share every time, just the first time you make it. I want to see it." Old Master Zhang looked at Ning Xiyue expectantly.
He really wanted to know what kind of medicinal wine Dr. Xiao Ning would make after learning how to brew wine from him.
"Of course, that's all right."
Ning Xiyue smiled brightly.
She never imagined that her desire to learn from a master would end up being caught by someone and taught her without asking for anything in return.
This must be what Zhang Jianguo said.
This family seemed to be honest people. Since they were willing to teach her how to make wine, she would not treat them unfairly. She would return the favor and give what she deserved. She could also remind Zhang Jianguo of some important matters as a thank you.
Mr. Zhang made the final decision: "It's settled then. Starting tomorrow, two hours every afternoon."
Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "Doctor Xiaoning, if you have anything to say, please consult your Aunt Wu."
"Okay, Master Zhang." Ning Xiyue bowed to the three Master Zhangs in gratitude.
At this time, Aunt Wu came out carrying a wooden barrel covered with a white cloth, followed by Old Lady Li holding a jar of wine.
"Doctor Xiaoning, would you like to taste your wine first?" Aunt Wu put the wooden barrel on the ground, took the wine from her mother-in-law's hand, put it on the table, and took out a bowl.
"Okay, then I'll try it first. I'm looking forward to it." Ning Xiyue readily agreed and took the bowl in her hand. She really wanted to taste it, and the smell of the lees from the brewing of wine next to her was very tempting.
