Every time Lu Jiang went to Wu Zheng's house to receive acupuncture and massage, Feng Qingxue would accompany him, taking her usual study notes and looking for opportunities to ask Wu Zheng about the various difficult problems she encountered during self-study. After getting the answers, she would often suddenly become enlightened.

Wu Zheng was also surprised at Feng Qingxue's learning ability. No wonder Dr. Guo said she was talented.

He is not only talented, but also has perseverance and a strong desire to learn.

What made Wu Zheng most satisfied was that Feng Qingxue had an excellent memory and was very good at applying what she had learned. She was not a bookworm. Her understanding of traditional culture was also better than that of many people today, including Lu Jiang, who joined the army as a teenager. When she was tested on her ability to identify meridian acupoints, she got very good answers, and she only made three mistakes when identifying acupoints all over the human body.

However, Wu Zheng assigned Feng Qingxue more homework and still refused to accept her as his disciple.

Feng Qingxue was not discouraged. All her attention was now focused on studying, and she was no longer so obsessed with the master-disciple relationship. In her heart, she already regarded Wu Zheng as her teacher, and secretly told herself to visit her teacher more often in the future.

That day, Wu Zheng finished acupuncture and massage for Lu Jiang. While wiping the needles, he said, "Just one more time and it'll be over."

"Thank you for your help, Doctor Wu (Mr. Wu)." Feng Qingxue and Lu Jiang thanked him repeatedly.

"It's no trouble. Every time you come to my place, you always come with something in your hands. Seriously speaking, I'm the one who takes advantage."

After hearing this, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue smiled at each other.

Wu Zheng checked Lu Jiang's arms and legs that had just healed and performed acupuncture on him, saying that he had recovered well. However, since Lu Jiang would be returning to the army in a few days, the follow-up acupuncture and massage would need to be done by Dr. Guo or Guo Xiuying.

Lu Jiang's arms can move, but he still uses a wheelchair because Dr. Guo told him not to do heavy work and not to walk.

The two said goodbye to Wu Zheng, and Feng Qingxue pushed Lu Jiang into the yard when they were stopped by a middle-aged woman.

"Comrades, I have a request."

The woman's loose clothes were covered with patches, but they were washed very clean, her hair was neatly combed, her face was smooth, and her teeth were white. One could tell at a glance that she was a very clean and hygienic person. Feng Qingxue had seen her before. She lived in the same courtyard as Doctor Wu and his wife. Mrs. Wu said that her family of more than a dozen people lived in the east wing, and they were called Old Mrs. Cao.

A total of three families lived in this courtyard with three main rooms and two side rooms on the east and west sides.

Doctor Wu and his wife were arranged by the mining area hospital to live in the main house. The eastern wing housed the Cao family's thirteen people, and the western wing housed the Zhao family's eight people. Two kitchens were built on both sides, and the clothesline in the yard was filled with endless clothes, diapers, and quilts to dry every day.

The more people there are, the more trouble there is. This saying is particularly applicable to the situation in the slum.

Wu Zheng was a skilled doctor. Anyone who had a headache or fever would come to him for help. No matter what the matter was, no one dared to offend them, and they had to respect him at ordinary times. The relationship between the remaining two families was not so pleasant. They often quarreled over trivial matters. During the time when Guang Fengqingxue accompanied Lu Jiang to acupuncture, they saw the children of the two families fighting three times and the adults quarreling five times.

After a fight and an argument, the two families were chatting and laughing again soon, and they didn't hold any grudges at all.

The first time Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue visited the house, the young man who opened the door for them was Mrs. Cao's youngest son, Hu Zi, who was thirteen years old. Feng Qingxue had seen him several times during this period and had spoken a few words to him. He turned out to be a nice kid.
