Gu Ranzhou walked in carrying a basket.
Lin Haisong asked in surprise, "Are you Zhenchuan's wife?" After all, people in the village might not dare to come to this place. Apart from the two boys, only Zhenchuan's wife would come here. After all, the person who came was holding a basket in her hand. He had seen that basket before. It was the basket that the two boys often carried to deliver meals.
Gu Ranzhou nodded awkwardly and said, "Um... yes, hello!" After all, he had never been here before.
At this time, a voice came from inside the house: "Lao Lin, who's here? Is it Xiao Feng?"
Lin Haisong quickly let someone in and placed a small stool in front of him: "Come in quickly. Thank you for your hard work. Have a seat."
Lu Zhenchuan got these small stools from the materials he got in the mountains. He made five of them, one for each of the five people. After all, it was impossible for the villagers to prepare anything for them. It was already very good to be able to build a cowshed and provide a small table. It was impossible to expect anything else.
The other old men were stunned. After all, there came someone they had never seen before, but they soon came to their senses.
Lin Haisong introduced: "Lao Zheng, she is the daughter-in-law of the Qinchuan boy."
Gu Ranzhou, holding a basket in his hand, said, "Hello!"
Zheng Lianjun nodded and said, "Oh, so it's Qinchuan's daughter-in-law! She's really good-looking, and I can tell at first glance that she's a good child."
Bursts of coughing were heard.
Gu Ranzhou heard the cough and looked at Xu Rongzheng who was coughing and asked: "Are you sick?"
Xu Rongzheng shook his head and explained, "It's not an old illness. It's a legacy from the war, and it's been many years. Plus, I'm old and no longer able to use it."
Gu Ranzhou asked, "Have you ever thought about curing it?"
Lin Haisong changed the subject and said, "Oh... By the way, your name is Zhou Zhou, right? That kid from Zhenchuan keeps talking about Zhou Zhou, either calling her Zhou Zhou or wife."
"Gu Ranzhou."
Several old men nodded and said, "What a good name."
"Thank you!" Gu Ranzhou turned around and placed the basket of food on the small table.
"Excuse me!" After saying that, Gu Ranzhou walked to Xu Rongzheng, grabbed his hand and took his pulse.
"Who are you?"
Zheng Lianjun was surprised and asked, "You also know medicine?"
Gu Ranzhou nodded and explained, "I learned a little bit when I was a kid, so I understand a thing or two."
Zheng Lianjun sighed, "That's great. Nowadays, people are starting to learn Western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is being ignored and even labeled as witch doctors and feudal."
Gu Ranzhou said calmly, "Western medicine and Chinese medicine are the same. They both treat illnesses, so what's the difference? The only difference is the methods and results. What does it have to do with feudal superstition?"
Zheng Lianjun said, "Yes, it's not so easy to break the inheritance of what our ancestors passed down."
Gu Ranzhou: "If you're so focused on these trivial matters that you forget your original aspirations, then why bother studying medicine? You might as well go home and farm and sell sweet potatoes."
"Well, that's good." Zheng Lianjun said with a smile, "You are a good candidate. If you work hard, you will definitely achieve great things in the future."
"Hehe..." Gu Ranzhou smiled faintly and said nothing, because he didn't think he could achieve great things, let alone serve the country.
Zheng Lianjun looked at Gu Ranzhou. He saw the young man before him. He was handsome, elegant, and neither humble nor overbearing. His manners and words revealed a sense of confidence and arrogance. He was obviously educated, but his personality was a little cold. Such a person should have a wide range of opportunities to develop, and should not be confined to the countryside.
"No wonder. I've watched that bastard Zhenchuan grow up. He's usually very domineering, but it's no wonder he fell for you. In my opinion, that bastard is really lucky to be with you."
After hearing this, Gu Ranzhou just smiled faintly.
A needle suddenly appeared in Gu Ranzhou's hand, but before he could stab him, he turned to Xu Rongzheng and asked, "Old man, can I give you the needle?"
Xu Rongzheng nodded and said without refusing, "You seem so confident. Go ahead."
The other old men all looked at Gu Ranzhou.
Gu Ranzhou agreed with what Mr. Xu said. If he tried to evade the question, he would have ignored it. After all, the man in front of him was his man's elder, otherwise he would not have meddled in other people's business. After all, the old man was not young anymore. From what he said, he had been coughing for a long time. If he continued to cough for years, he would eventually die of it.
"Okay." Gu Ranzhou was quick-witted and quick-handed. After giving Mr. Xu an injection, he immediately pulled out the needle.
Old Master Xu was still coughing, but gradually the coughing stopped.
"Am I...okay?"
"Um."
Zheng Lianjun said with some excitement: "Zhou Zhou, your medical skills are very high! I have been treating Old Xu for so many years and he got sick, but he was cured by your acupuncture." After all, it was the best thing that his brother could get better.
Gu Ranzhou said modestly, "That injection was crucial, but Uncle Zheng also had to help Mr. Xu recover."
"Don't take credit for this," Old Master Zheng said, waving his hands repeatedly. "You're insulting me. I'm no match for you, but your technique is unique. I've never seen it before."
"I've only learned the basics of acupuncture techniques..."
Zheng Lianjun looked at Gu Ranzhou with a golden glint in his eyes and asked, "Where did you get these acupuncture techniques from? Who did you learn them from?"
There was a look of nostalgia on Gu Ranzhou's face and he explained: "My father, unfortunately he is no longer here." Gu Ranzhou also had a bit of nostalgia in his heart, and it was not wrong to say that it was his father.
Gu Ranzhou's adoptive father in his previous life was both a teacher and a father, but he didn't want to say that he was a teacher. Although the father of this body was an out-and-out farmer, he was still unwilling to say it and still called him father. He was not afraid of anyone checking his background. Even if someone checked his background thoroughly, he could still make up for it.
After hearing what Gu Ranzhou said, Zheng Lianjun felt a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to ask more questions.
Lin Haisong quickly changed the subject and said, "Okay, it's almost time, we should eat."
Xu Rongzheng was very happy. His old illness was cured. "Zhou Zhou, if you have anything to do, go back and do it first. Then, around noon, Zhenchuan or Xiaofeng can come and carry the basket."
Gu Ranzhou asked, "Is this okay?"
Zheng Lianjun also nodded and said, "Okay, why not? Go back and get busy first!"
Gu Ranzhou said somewhat embarrassedly, "Then I'll come back to carry the basket later." It was indeed time for him to go home. There was no one at home, and the two children were still sleeping. He didn't know if they had woken up yet.
