Chapter 434
"Why are you all gathered in the health center instead of going to work?"
Captain Hu's home was just behind. When he saw what was happening, he hurried down with his wife.
"Captain, we heard that Dr. Tang teaches children medicine, so we wanted to give it a try."
"Yes, you see, my dog Dan grew up under your care. He is very smart."
“…”
"You can't just surround Doctor Tang. What are you doing?"
Captain Hu was a little angry. These people did not consult him before doing anything. What if they offended Doctor Tang?
Everyone's faces turned red after being scolded by the captain, and they all stared at Tang Wan with hope.
The enthusiastic eyes of the villagers made Tang Wan want to refuse, but she didn't know why she couldn't say it.
She sighed, "Everyone knows that my clinic is not big, so there won't be many people who need it.
I can't manage so many of you kids crammed in at once.
How about this, I will prepare for an exam in a few days, and those who pass the exam can stay and study, how about that? "
"Ah? But my kids haven't learned it yet."
"That's not fair to us. Shitou, Huzi and Dongzi have learned from you after all."
"Doctor Tang, you can't be partial to one and ignore the other."
“…”
Tang Wan interrupted them with a smile, "Don't worry, we won't be testing those things.
I will teach them some knowledge on the spot, and then let them write it down and then test them. "
It's not about fairness or unfairness, but whether the selection is suitable.
There were some things that Tang Wan couldn't say too directly, but the captain could, and he agreed with them.
"What Doctor Tang said makes sense. Studying medicine is not like farming. All you need to do is dig the land.
You need this talent. I know Dongzi is very talented and can draw inferences from one example!"
The captain is a man of some culture because he can become the captain, and everyone believes in his words.
Tang Wan followed suit, "That's what I mean. As human beings, everyone is born with different strengths.
So I can only pick the right people, and I won’t pick too many. In addition to Dongzi, I will teach two more people at most.
And I will not accept you as my apprentice until you pass my final assessment."
This completely established Dongzi's position in her heart and in the team.
After saying that, she looked at Shitou and Huzi, "You two should also take part in the initial assessment together."
"Okay, Doctor Tang."
Shitou's mother was busy answering for the child, fearing that the naive boy Shitou would refuse.
Hu Zi also nodded repeatedly. Although these parents were regretful, they all agreed with a smile because the captain was present.
"All is up to Doctor Tang's instructions. I'll tell my son to study hard later."
"Why are you worried? Didn't you say your son is smart? He will definitely be chosen by Doctor Tang."
"It's hard to say. Hu Zi and Shi Tou have been learning from her for such a long time. What if she is partial to them?"
“…”
Tang Wan heard some of these words and pretended not to hear some. She didn't have time to care about what so many people thought.
Behind closed doors, only the captain and Aunt Hu were in the yard. The captain rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
"Doctor Tang, I'm sorry to trouble you. Their thoughts are very simple. They are all for the good of their children."
"I know, so I understand and give them some opportunities."
Tang Wan is a rather picky person. Apart from her understanding and talent, she also has an excellent character.
Studying medicine is no different from studying other subjects. Tang Wan doesn't want to become a sinner for all eternity if she encounters someone with bad character who uses medical skills to harm others.
"Xiao Tang, it's a good thing you came to our team. Since you came, our team has been getting better and better."
Aunt Hu said this from the bottom of her heart. If it weren't for Tang Wan, many female comrades would not be willing to marry into their brigade.
"Auntie, you think too highly of me. I'm just a doctor."
Tang Wan smiled modestly. Captain Hu and his wife were also busy, so they didn't stay long.
Since it was decided to test the children in the team, Tang Wan took out the medicinal materials and prepared them.
Then I started to prepare questions with full concentration.
She wants to pick someone with good talent and good character.
The final test is human nature.
After the questions were asked, Dongzi came, but Huzi and Shitou did not come today.
Dongzi was not in the mood throughout the class, but he was still very attentive. After the class, Tang Wan asked him with concern.
"What's wrong? I see you don't look very energetic. Is there something wrong at home?"
"No, thank you for your concern, Master."
Dongzi shook his head gently, met Tang Wan's gentle eyes, and couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
"Master, when you have many apprentices, will you still be kind to me?"
Dongzi is no different from other children, as other children are loved by many family members.
Apart from his grandmother, Dongzi only has his master Tang Wan who loves him the most.
No wonder children feel so insecure.
"Don't worry, whether I will accept a disciple or not, you are my eldest disciple."
Tang Wan chuckled, "And I only said I would teach them for a while, I didn't say anything about taking them in as disciples."
Accepting a disciple is a very serious matter. If Dongzi hadn't helped her collect herbs for so many days, Tang Wan would not have made an exception.
Dongzi was instantly happy upon hearing this, and he grinned gently.
"I understand, Master. Thank you!"
Some people say that a master will not be good to him if he has more apprentices.
Although he knew that his master was not that kind of person, Dongzi still felt sad.
"Okay, go back and review your lessons, I'll check it later.
But I can’t do that tomorrow, I have to test them, you can help me monitor the test after class tomorrow.”
Tang Wan's casual words made Dong Zi's eyes widen slightly, "Master, can I supervise the exam?"
"Yes, you are my legitimate disciple. Of course, I want you to be more discerning when choosing an assistant for you."
Tang Wan thought it was nothing, but for Dongzi, it was related to his position in the team.
Let everyone know that the master values him so much, and no one in the team will dare to look down on him in the future.
"Thank you, Master. I will definitely work hard."
Dongzi was tactful enough not to ask Tang Wan about the test topics. He happily left the clinic carrying his backpack.
It happened that Shitou's mother and Huzi's mother were standing anxiously outside the clinic. When they saw Dongzi, they couldn't help but ask.
"Dongzi, how is your master's preparation going?"
"After all, Shitou and Huzi have taken so many classes with you. It's better to have them than a few strangers."
"I know, ma'am."
Dongzi smiled slightly, "So we need to let Shitou and Huzi work hard.
My master has always been a very fair person, don't worry, she won't make an exception."
He originally wanted to say that the master would not erase the efforts of Shitou and Huzi for the sake of others.
Shi Tou Niang was quite confused after hearing this, so she asked Dong Zi very seriously.
"Dongzi, tell me the truth, is Shitou serious in class?
Also, did your teacher tell you what the test will be tomorrow?"
