Teacher Du looked at Ye Qingqing in surprise. The little girl hadn't said a single thing wrong; that was exactly what was causing his cough.
When I was a child, my family was poor and we couldn't afford to see a doctor. Whenever I coughed, my parents would go to the fields to pick some Lobelia chinensis, boil it into water for me to drink, or they would steam some tangerine peel with honey. We never went to the hospital.
Later, in his senior year of high school, because he was not good at math, he was worried that it would drag him down in the college entrance examination. He studied late into the night every night. He was 175 cm tall, but by the time of the college entrance examination, he had lost weight and weighed only about 100 catties. Since then, his cough has become more and more serious.
Ye Qingqing actually had some things she didn't say. Teacher Du was severely malnourished, and coupled with the pressure of being a senior high school homeroom teacher and long-term overwork, it caused his body to become too weak, which led to his cough.
For chronic illnesses like Teacher Du's, as long as nutrition is ensured and rest is paid attention to, they can be gradually cured.
“Teacher, if you trust me, I can prescribe some over-the-counter medicine for you. It will definitely be more effective than steamed tangerine peel with honey,” Ye Qingqing said.
Teacher Du was taken aback for a moment, then asked curiously, "Is someone in your family a doctor?"
Otherwise, how would the little girl know how to prepare medicine?
Ye Qingqing smiled, "My ancestors were imperial physicians in the palace, so I'm sure I can cure your cough, teacher, don't worry!"
Teacher Du was impressed. No wonder this girl could take pulses at such a young age; it turned out she came from a family with a long tradition of learning. He smiled and nodded, "No rush. You need to focus your energy on your studies and not let it affect them!"
"I'll definitely study hard, teacher. Do you know what rank Tang Yuanyuan got this time?" Ye Qingqing inquired.
Mr. Du took out the monthly exam results book from the drawer. It contained the rankings of the entire senior year. He started from the back and quickly found it. He was very pleased. "230th place. Great progress, not bad, not bad. But you still need to work hard and strive to get into the top 200."
Tang Yuanyuan's eyes widened in disbelief. It was 230?
Oh my god, she's never gotten such a good ranking before!
Teacher Du's warm smile warmed Tang Yuanyuan's heart. It was the first time a teacher had smiled at her like that. From elementary school to middle school and then to high school, most teachers looked at her with disgust, and some were indifferent. Only Teacher Du looked at her with such kindness and even praised her!
"Teacher Du, I promise I'll be in the top 200 in the next monthly exam!"
In a moment of impulsiveness, Tang Yuanyuan made the greatest wish of her life, but she regretted it as soon as it left her mouth.
But she dared not change her mind, fearing that Teacher Du would be unhappy.
"Take it slow. As long as you make progress each time, that's good. You can't become fat in one bite. Even if you only move up one place, it's still good," Teacher Du encouraged Tang Yuanyuan.
Now that you've become his student, you have to take responsibility.
Ye Qingqing glanced at her watch; class was about to start. She pulled Tang Yuanyuan back to the classroom, both of them in incredibly high spirits.
Tang Yuanyuan, in particular, was so happy at the thought of leaving the clutches of the snob He, being able to study in the class of the gentle Teacher Du, and being with Ye Qingqing that she wanted to go to the kitchen to show off her cooking skills and have a delicious meal.
Teacher Du was very efficient. Just one day later, Tang Yuanyuan was transferred to Class 3. Teacher He was hoping that there would be as few underachievers as possible in the class. As soon as Teacher Du asked, she agreed and even went to talk to the head of the teaching department herself, so that Teacher Du wouldn't have to worry about it.
Ye Qingqing volunteered to be Tang Yuanyuan's deskmate, and Teacher Du agreed.
Everything was proceeding smoothly and according to Ye Qingqing's plan. She had gained more confidence in getting into medical school, and at this rate of improvement, she was sure she would pass the exam.
However, some things were outside her plans and unexpected.
