During the past few days in the car, except for going to the toilet, washing up and taking a walk, Shen Anning and Fang Yuan stayed in the compartment and never went out. It was not that they did not want to go out and play, but the two senior sisters were too strict.
At that time, the security on the train was not as good as it is in later generations. The two senior sisters were both experienced people. When they were young, the People's Republic of China had just been founded. They traveled all over the country with their master, going wherever there was good medicine. They spent half a year traveling by train and saw too many bad things on the train.
So in order to make the two little girls concentrate and stay in the box, they were given almost no rest time except for sleeping, eating and going to the toilet. They learned this knowledge and that, and organized a small test before going to bed at night, asking questions in turns. Shen An Ning's dreams at night these days were all about the types and effects of traditional Chinese medicine.
After waking up again, Shen Anning and Fang Yuan on the upper bunk looked at each other, feeling as if they had escaped death. Their eyes were filled with relief. The train would arrive in half a day, and they could be considered liberated.
After lying on the upper bunk for a while, Shen Anning heard the sound of the senior sister getting up below, and then the two of them climbed down.
Taking several people's lunch boxes and your money, Shen Anning said: "Third Sister, Fourth Sister, Fang Yuan and I just woke up. Let's go wash up and buy some food. You guys come back to your senses first."
"Okay, you two be careful and don't get squeezed by so many people." The third senior sister Fan Wenhui, Guo Haochen's mother, and the fourth senior sister Liu Yu are of similar age and personality. The elders in their family are all friends with Mr. Cheng. Except for teaching time, they are very nice "mothers" and "sisters" at other times.
After finally solving the major event in his life, Shen An Ning did not wait for the attendant and took Fang Yuan directly to the dining car to buy four bowls of white porridge and eight buns. On the way back, he happened to meet Guo Haochen and Sun Zimu. The two of them had also shouldered heavy responsibilities in the past few days. There were six people in one carriage, one of whom was the teacher, and three were uncles. They were all brothers from the same school as their parents. Not to mention that they had no heart to care about boys, they didn't even dare to lead two of them.
They were the ones who were busy with work and buying meals, and they were tested from time to time. They didn't dare to breathe in the carriage these days. When they met Fang Yuan, the three funny guys even showed sympathy for each other!
The train arrived at 11 o'clock in the morning. People from Chengdu Medical University and Southwest Medical University came to pick them up. You know, Mr. Cheng is a leader in the national traditional Chinese medicine community. They all hoped that Mr. Cheng could stay in Sichuan for a few more days and give more lectures to teachers and students in the school.
As soon as they got off the platform, they saw a banner that read "Welcome Mr. Cheng." Standing at the front were two middle-aged men in their fifties, Hu Guangyao and Fang Zhixin, presidents of Southwest Medical University and Chengdu Medical University respectively. Behind them stood several young people in their twenties and thirties.
Seeing Mr. Cheng and his group, the two leaders came forward to greet them, "Hey, Mr. Cheng, it's really an honor for the school to have you here, welcome, welcome." After greeting Mr. Cheng, they nodded to several senior brothers and sisters. It was obvious that the senior brothers and sisters knew them. They were of the same age and worked in the same field.
"Mr. Cheng, the cafeteria is hosting a welcoming banquet for you. It's also dinner time. How about we go there together?"
"Yes, yes. They're all Sichuan specialties. No fancy fish or meat. I know you don't like ostentation, but many teachers and students from other schools heard you were coming and wanted to meet you. They hope you can give them some words of encouragement."
Old Cheng naturally did not refuse. After all, it was a kind gesture from everyone. He came here not only to collect herbs in the mountains and teach his apprentices, but also to exchange medical skills with other doctors. If you want to make progress, you have to communicate. These apprentices and grandchildren also need to exchange ideas with others. If you always stay in your comfort zone, you won’t make any progress!
"Thank you for your hard work, both of you. You are worthy of being my senior brother's proud disciples. I will trouble you for the next period of time."
"Hey, what are you talking about? It's an honor for us to have you here. We have a car ready for you. My master is waiting for you at the school. If you hadn't had such a bad leg, you would have definitely come with us."
There are only two cars, and there is definitely not enough space for people to sit. Shen Anning is very self-conscious with three children. "Master, I will take Fang Yuan and the others to the guesthouse to put their luggage first, and then I will come to find you."
"Okay, come here quickly."
Several students had already been very considerate and helped several seniors carry their bags. Shen Anning followed them to the guesthouse to pack up. After walking a few steps, the car returned to pick them up.
Through the car window, you can still see that Sichuan is underdeveloped. Even in the provincial capital, the streets are not very busy, and most of the houses are bungalows, with only a handful of two-story buildings.
In the cafeteria of the Medical University, there were circles of students. Shen Anning and Fang Yuan finally squeezed in. She had to protect the things in her hands and was bumped several times, and her face was distorted with pain.
After finally reaching the dining area, there were several people standing around Mr. Cheng with pens and paper, listening to him speak.
Seeing his young apprentice, Cheng Mingli waved, "An Ning, come here, let me introduce you to your uncle."
As he approached, Shen Anning saw an old man sitting in a wheelchair next to the master. He looked to be in his eighties, with white hair and a vigorous face.
When they were having dinner together on the train, the master had told her that the master uncle they would meet in Sichuan was more than ten years older than their own master.
Shen An Ning stepped forward and bowed, "Hello, Master. I came in late and came to see you just now. It's really my fault. I heard from Master that you like to eat the snacks of Daoxiang Village. These are the jujube flower pastry and cloud cake specially prepared for you. Please accept them." Fortunately, she took out a few boxes of snacks on the first day on the train and didn't open them when she heard that she was coming to visit the elders, otherwise she really didn't know what to do.
