After so many years of hard work, the dean looks even older now. She was especially happy to hear that the business was willing to take her on as an apprentice.
She may not understand any grand principles, but she knows how rare it is to have someone teach her a skill that will ensure she has enough to eat and drink in the future.
“If Baozhu wants to learn, then go ahead and learn. If possible, it would be best to have the divine doctor adopt you. That way, the two of you will be bound together, and you won’t have to worry for the rest of your life. When the divine doctor gets old, you can take care of him in his old age. He can teach you a skill, so you can’t be ungrateful, understand?”
To the director, she treated all the children in the orphanage as her own, but she would also be happy if they had a good future.
She knew that the people in the orphanage had a lot of ulterior motives, but she was too soft-hearted to make the decision to drive them away, so the situation remained at a stalemate.
"Don't worry, Dean, I will study hard and come back to see you and Grandpa and Grandma after I finish my studies."
The headmistress patted Baozhu's head, pulled her into the house, and then found the small yellow croaker that had been wrapped in the swaddling blanket and handed it to Baozhu.
"This was found on you back then. Now that you're leaving, take it. The miracle doctor rarely charges for his treatments, probably because his living conditions aren't very good. With this for you, you won't have to worry about going hungry in the future."
Tang Baozhou never expected this woman to be so honest, still keeping it for her after all these years. She originally thought she would have sold it to buy grain long ago.
Unfortunately, this thing was originally meant for the headmistress, and besides, I really don't need it. Although the headmistress doesn't know this, she wasn't planning on accepting it anyway.
“Headmistress, you should keep this. There are so many brothers and sisters here. If any of them get sick, they'll need some money.”
The headmistress kept stuffing things into Tang Baozhu's pocket, but how could Tang Baozhu possibly accept them?
In the end, Tang Baozhu prevailed, urging the headmistress to quickly put the little yellow fish away, lest the mischievous kids in the yard see it and steal it.
She spent two more days with the director and grandparents at the orphanage, and then left with the puppet when it came to pick her up.
I didn't take much with me when I left, just the swaddle blanket I had as a child and those two sets of clothes.
Tang Baozhu originally intended to keep the swaddle blankets and two sets of clothes for the younger girls, since they were of really good quality.
But the headmistress said that these were proof of her status from her family, including the swaddle blanket, so that if someone came looking for her, they would be able to recognize her.
There was no other way; I had to take my blanket and clothes with me when I left.
Tang Baozhu felt a little embarrassed, as it was as if she had eaten and drunk for free at the orphanage for eight years and then just left.
Fortunately, she didn't do nothing during those eight years; at the very least, she released the puppets from her space and donated a lot of food.
But just because there were more food donations, those older brothers and sisters who were initially quite diligent became lazy one by one.
So sometimes I feel that doing good deeds isn't necessarily the right thing to do. At the very least, if you do good deeds and improve their conditions, you'll create a group of lazy people. If you don't donate and they continue to live in poverty, they might all be more likely to behave better.
When they left the orphanage, they also transferred their household registration, which was directly registered under the puppet's name.
For the past few years, the puppet has been playing the role of a divine doctor. Although he hasn't made much money, he has still earned a little, so he simply bought himself a courtyard house.
However, by this time, courtyard houses were already very expensive, so most of them were bought outside the third or fourth ring road. At that time, it was a particularly dilapidated two-courtyard house.
Even several walls collapsed, so the price was relatively cheaper, but it still cost over 100,000 yuan.
This happened back in 1992 or 1993. If you wait until 1998 to buy it, you probably won't be able to buy it anymore.
After years of gradual renovation, it's finally habitable, so Tang Baozhu's household registration was transferred there.
Although it was said that the house was bought by a puppet, it didn't actually belong to Tang Baozhu.
Once the household registration was completed, the puppet took Tang Baozhu to the nearby school to enroll. After all, she couldn't be without a diploma, as a diploma would be quite useful in the future.
Then the miracle doctor stopped traveling around the countryside and instead cleaned up the front yard of the courtyard house to open a clinic.
Although young people today may have more faith in Western medicine, the older generation still has more faith in traditional Chinese medicine. Moreover, his reputation in Kyoto has grown over the years, and he still has a lot of patients.
After that, Tang Baozhu's life settled down. Every day, besides going to school, she assisted the puppeteers in treating people.
After a while, everyone realized that Tang Baozhu was a disciple trained by the divine physician.
In fact, Tang Baozhu herself was very good at medicine. After all, in the world of cultivation, she had learned medicine in order to accumulate merit. She had even learned some medical cultivation techniques.
Even though she now assists the puppet every day, she only helps him when he's too busy, and she hasn't really thought about whether she should pursue a career in medicine.
Studying medicine is really too hard, especially since she already knows it. Although she doesn't know Western medicine, only traditional Chinese medicine, she doesn't want to learn it all over again; it's just too tiring.
The wealth within the space was unimaginable, so she didn't aspire to great riches; she simply wanted to live each day happily and joyfully.
So Tang Baozhu thought it best not to do such tiring work, and that she would just open a shop after graduation.
I won't open a particularly tiring shop, just a small store. I plan to wait for the puppet, save up some money, and then buy a small shop not far from home.
If Tang Baozhu's current courtyard house weren't located in an alley, she would have liked to convert the front into two shops.
This makes things much easier; you don't need to buy a separate shop anymore.
Because she wanted an easy life in the future and didn't want to pay such high monthly rent for a shop, she decided to just buy one herself.
A year or two later, Tang Baozhu realized that without the help of spatial items, the price of treating illnesses with puppets was so low that she simply couldn't afford a shop.
If you ask around, the price could easily be tens of thousands per square meter. But seeing the streets getting wider and the buildings getting taller, and the year 2000 getting closer, I can understand it.
