"Ah! Li Chu, time flies! We have to go back to work tomorrow!"
The thought that today was the last day of the holiday made Ding Qiunan sit on the sofa with a unhappy expression.
Wenhui, Wenxuan, and Yueyue were already used to their mother's sudden displays of affection towards their father, so Luping found it rather novel.
1200ksw.
Her parents had never done this before, and she never imagined that a family could be so fun. The parents and children were like friends, and their conversations were more like exchanges between friends.
Unlike at her home, when her parents talk to her, it's like an elder talking to a child.
Staying here for a few days made her feel very comfortable, unlike when she used to feel constrained when visiting other places.
Nobody is polite to you here; they'll tell you exactly what they need you to do. She likes this kind of family atmosphere.
After observing for several days, she finally figured out that Wenhui's father was a traditional Chinese medicine doctor working at a military hospital, and Wenhui's mother also worked at the same hospital, but in the pharmacy.
She also understood why Wenxuan had been carrying some books on traditional Chinese medicine and studying them diligently during military training.
It turned out he was planning to follow in his father's footsteps, but she also had some doubts. Wenxuan had to go to school, so where would he find so much time to learn so many things?
"Wenxuan, haven't you changed your mind yet? Are you sure you want to learn from me?"
"It's confirmed, Dad."
“Okay, this Sunday, the 24th, I will invite some people to witness that you should pay homage to the ancestral master.”
As soon as Li Chu finished speaking, Wen Hui said with some dissatisfaction, "Dad, why won't you let me bow? Isn't this favoring boys over girls?"
"What are you saying, girl? What do you mean by favoring boys over girls? Wenxuan is being asked to pay homage because he wants to learn traditional Chinese medicine from me and inherit your master's skills. You don't plan to learn it. If you also want to learn from me, you can pay homage together then."
Wenhui stuck out her tongue cutely: "Then let's forget about it, my younger brother can do the worship."
Ding Qiunan turned to her husband and asked, "Are you planning to do it this Sunday?"
"Yes, let's finish the prayers as soon as possible, otherwise there won't be time once school starts."
Who are you planning to invite?
"Among the more respected figures in Beijing, there's also the one we visited yesterday."
"You invited him too?" Ding Qiunan looked at her husband incredulously.
"I promised him last time, and besides, it's uncomfortable to stay in the sanatorium all the time, it's time to get out and exercise."
"Then you have to report it in advance, right?"
"Yes, I'll put in a good word with them tomorrow."
"Shouldn't we invite Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang too?"
"Absolutely!"
Four children sat on one side playing cards, while the two of them quietly made plans for Sunday. Several dogs lay quietly on the ground, and a faint sense of warmth filled the room.
Early on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Chu had barely arrived at his office and hadn't even settled in when Uncle Wang called him to the central command.
He knew why Uncle Wang had called him, and on the way there, his heart was pounding wildly.
When he finally met him in person, he calmed down.
Time was limited, and being able to squeeze out twenty minutes to listen to his report was already the limit.
Having prepared in advance, Li Chu gave a concise and to-the-point account of what had happened during this period.
Unexpectedly, it piqued the interest of the leaders.
The leader looked at Uncle Wang and asked, "Is this medicine really that effective?"
"I think it's great. I haven't had any health problems all these years, and I have a lot of energy every day."
"Xiao Li, can I use this medicine?"
"Of course, but it takes three to five years to prepare your body in the early stages."
"So long?"
...
The end result was that a regular report, which was originally twenty minutes long, ended up being forty minutes long, and the leader was also given a prescription for a remedy.
After leaving this office, Li Chu followed Uncle Wang to his office.
"So, Xiao Chu, are you confident?"
"Uncle, how could I not be sure? This is what I do. However, because the leader's health was treated a little late, the effect may not be as good as what you and my aunt took."
Of course, it also depends on whether one can persevere.
Uncle Wang thought for a moment and then waved his hand: "Let's not talk about that. Did you go to the sanatorium during the Spring Festival?"
“I went there. I took Qiu Nan with me on the second day of the Lunar New Year. I didn’t let the other children go. I explained the situation, but he didn’t say anything.”
"That's alright, you've said it. Okay, you can go back now, we can talk about it later."
"Then I'll be going, Uncle. You're busy. Oh, right, I almost forgot to tell you, I'm planning to have Wenxuan pay respects to the ancestral master this Sunday. You and Auntie can come over then."
"Can"
After leaving Uncle Wang's place, Li Chu went to the health care team's duty room and told Uncle Lin about Sunday's plans. They also discussed who to invite and finalized the list before Li Chu left.
Sitting in the car, he let out a long sigh of relief. He had been under a lot of tension, but now that he had suddenly relaxed, he even felt a little tired.
As soon as I got back to the office, the phone on my desk rang.
The call was from Vice Minister Cheng, asking him to come to the ministry when he had time.
After hanging up the phone and checking the time, I realized it was still early, so I went straight out of the office and called Xiaotian.
When Vice Minister Cheng saw Li Chu coming into his office, he hurriedly asked him to sit down.
Since the main hospital was upgraded, their ranks have been almost the same, the only difference being their positions.
"Vice Dean Li, I've invited you here today because I have a question to ask you."
"Boss, let's not be so polite. We've been dealing with each other for a long time. You know me well. Just say what you want to say."
"Alright, haha, then I won't stand on ceremony." Vice Minister Cheng, who was sitting on the sofa in the reception area with Li Chu, slapped his thigh with a smile.
"Here's the thing, I just handed you a photocopy of a prescription. After checking the signature, it's confirmed that you wrote it. I just wanted to ask if you wrote the prescription for your boss just now."
Li Chu nodded, and then described all the medicines on the prescription again.
"Vice Minister Cheng, this prescription is for regulating the body."
"That's right, that's right. The other senior experts also said the same thing, but that's not the point. What I want to ask is, is there any way to replace the 100-year-old wild ginseng in your prescription with something else? For example, something less than 100 years old?"
“That won’t do!” Li Chu shook his head: “Vice Minister Cheng, in this prescription, if there is any possibility of replacing other medicines, this century-old wild ginseng is absolutely irreplaceable. I have made a note about it at the bottom.”
