Chapter 147 Face it Bravely
The couple even quarreled several times over this, causing panic at home.
Until this morning, the village radio suddenly broadcast a big news.
It was said that Ruan Chuxia was about to officially accept a disciple, and the apprenticeship ceremony would be held in public, attracting countless villagers to watch and discuss, and they all felt that this was an opportunity that could not be missed.
Wang Huapeng sat in the yard listening to the radio, his eyes gradually changing from disdain at first to seriousness.
Finally he sighed deeply and nodded.
"Okay... go and take a look."
The word "OK" made Cheng Meifang feel relieved.
And now, as more and more people gather around, the noise is getting louder and louder.
The worry hidden in her heart surfaced again, but this time she chose to face it bravely.
Just thinking about it——
“Here it comes! Here it comes!”
Cheng Meifang looked up and saw Ruan Chuxia, wearing a neat white coat, walking out of the crowd step by step.
Behind her followed an old man who looked energetic and walked steadily.
The old man was slightly plump, with a ruddy complexion, and a kind yet dignified expression.
Needless to say, this person should be the famous Chinese medicine expert Deng Chengxin.
After standing on the stage, Ruan Chuxia remained calm on the surface.
But my heart was already in turmoil.
She stood on the stage and could clearly feel the gazes of the people around her.
After Dean Huang came over and solemnly introduced the two of them, he officially announced the start of the apprenticeship ceremony.
Ruan Chuxia took a light step forward and bowed three times respectfully to Deng Chengxin.
Then she turned around and carefully picked up the cup of tea that had been prepared long ago from the waiter's hand.
Holding the rim of the cup steadily with both hands, he walked over to the master and handed the tea to him.
Deng Chengxin, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at Ruan Chuxia in front of him with a look of relief and a bit of doting in his eyes.
He took the tea, blew on it gently a few times, then took a small sip and nodded meaningfully.
Seeing this scene, the originally quiet audience suddenly became lively.
"Doctor Ruan is amazing! He's already a disciple of Teacher Deng at such a young age!"
"After the apprenticeship is over, no one else can take my place. I'm the first one to see Dr. Ruan! I want to make an appointment with her!"
Someone else murmured with deep emotion, "Tsk, tsk, this is an expert from the capital! I heard he can cure difficult and complicated illnesses right away! Our hospital finally has hope this time!"
The longer he stared, the more obvious the unwillingness in his eyes became. The corners of his mouth were tightly tightened, and even his breathing became a little rapid.
His hands were clenched tightly into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, and one could even see the veins on the back of his hands almost popping out, as if they were filled with some indescribable emotion.
After the ceremony, people gathered around Ruan Chuxia who had just completed the ceremony.
"Doctor Ruan, congratulations on officially becoming a disciple of a famous master! Are you still able to see patients now? My mother hasn't been feeling well these past few days. Could you please take a look?"
An anxious mother spoke first.
"Doctor Ruan, my child has been having colds and coughs lately. Please help us check him out!"
An elderly man in the crowd shouted at the top of his lungs, "I got here first! Doctor Ruan, could you please take a look at me first? My back hurts so bad!"
Surrounded by layers of people, Ruan Chuxia struggled to move out of the crowd step by step.
"I'm sorry, folks. I appreciate your kindness. However, today's ceremony just ended, so I really don't have time to see you. If you need medical treatment, please come early tomorrow morning."
She had just finished speaking while still catching her breath.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came through the noisy crowd and called her directly——
"Xiao Ruan, I have something to talk to you about!"
Ruan Chuxia was tidying up the medical records on the table and preparing to go home after get off work when she suddenly heard someone calling her name.
She paused for a moment, then turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.
It’s Cheng Meifang.
She was standing at the door wearing a gray floral shirt and her hair looked like it hadn't been taken care of for some time.
"sister in law."
Ruan Chuxia responded softly and greeted him.
It's almost time to get off work.
Everyone has almost finished what they need to do. What is Cheng Meifang looking for now?
She responded as she took a few steps closer to the door.
Just as I was about to say something else, my nose suddenly twitched and I smelled a faint strange smell.
It was a smell mixed with mold, sweat and a slight stench.
Moreover, as Cheng Meifang took another step or two forward.
The unpleasant smell became stronger and stronger.
Ruan Chuxia subconsciously took a half step back and thought quickly in her mind.
A bad thought flashed through my mind.
But she didn't show it, and still asked in her usual calm voice: "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
Cheng Meifang showed a trace of embarrassment on her face and lowered her head and bit her lip.
"Xiao Ruan, do you... do you have an office that I can use alone?"
She spoke hesitantly, her voice low.
"Or somewhere quieter? I want to...talk to you about something."
Ruan Chuxia actually does not have an independent office in the department.
Although there are occasionally some doctors who see patients alone in their clinics.
But they are usually shared or used in turns, so there is no question of ownership.
But she still smiled slightly, nodded and replied: "Yes, come with me."
After she said that, she turned around and took Cheng Meifang into the small clinic next door with ease.
After pushing the door open, she closed it.
This action is both a respect for the patient's privacy and a habit she has developed over many years of work.
Then, she turned and looked at Cheng Meifang, and asked with concern: "Sister, is there something wrong?"
Faced with Ruan Chuxia's concern, Cheng Meifang, who was originally so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands, suddenly became emotional.
She stood there, her face flushed red, her head down.
After a long silence, he finally managed to utter a few broken words: "Xiao Ruan, can you...can you...help me with the medicine I gave you last time..."
He swallowed the words before he finished speaking, as if he was afraid that others would hear them.
Before she could react, Ruan Chuxia, who was sitting opposite her, looked up at her.
"no."
She hurriedly waved her hands and explained.
"I'm not asking you to give it away for free, Xiao Ruan, that's not what I mean. I'm going to pay for it, really."
Hearing this, Ruan Chuxia smiled and did not get angry.
Instead, his eyes showed a bit more understanding, and also a bit of helplessness.
"Sister, what are you thinking about?"
Her tone softened.
"I know you can't use that medicine now."
After a pause, he continued.
"If you really continue to take the same dosage as before, not only will it not cure your current symptoms, it may even have side effects."
"ah……"
Her face turned pale.
