Seeing the excited Uncle Li and Aunt Li, Chu Xi understood the reason and immediately knelt down.
"Master, please accept me as your disciple!"
As she spoke, she kowtowed three times. She knew that many Chinese medicine practitioners respected tradition, as the saying goes, "Once a teacher, always a father", so she did not hesitate at all.
When Uncle Li saw Chu Xi doing this, he waited until she kowtowed before stepping forward to help her up.
"Okay, okay, okay, I thought I would just take my medical skills down there, but I didn't expect there would be such an opportunity!"
Uncle Li, also known as Li Tan, laughed happily.
After Chu Xi stood up, he said respectfully to Aunt Li, "Master's wife, I greet you! From now on, I will honor you as I honor my parents!"
This naturally caused another round of "good, good, good" sounds, filling the whole yard with laughter. Naturally, it also attracted the attention of another couple, who hurried out to see what was going on.
"Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang," Chu Xi greeted them happily.
Li Tan, who was standing next to her, spoke excitedly, "I just accepted this little girl as my apprentice. She's my last disciple. I finally don't have to pass on all this knowledge and insights."
She actually wiped away tears while talking, which shows that she was really happy!
This naturally aroused Wang Qiuhe's envy. "You guy, although you are young, you think very far ahead. What a pity, I am only two years younger than you, how come I can't find such a good apprentice!" After saying this, he sighed.
Mr. and Mrs. Li Tan were professor-level Chinese medicine experts at Kyoto First Hospital. Li Tan, in particular, enjoyed a national special subsidy and could almost be considered a national-level figure.
However, Wang Qiuhe is not a weakling either. He is the former vice president of Kyoto Third Hospital and a professor-level expert. His reputation is just not as loud as Li Tan's. However, he is also a good singer and dancer, with students and friends all over the world. He came here just because of the frame-up by a villain.
At this time, Father Chu secretly winked at Chu Xi and nodded in the direction of Wang Qiuhe. Just when Chu Xi was surprised by Father Chu's cute side, she understood.
Chu Xi turned directly to Wang Qiuhe, "Uncle Wang, if you don't mind my stupidity, I would also like to take you as my teacher and learn more about medicine, combining Chinese and Western medicine. I will honor you both in the future!"
Wang Qiuhe was stunned again when he heard this, but then he became excited in an instant. He turned to look at Li Tan and said, "Old Li, you won't blame me for stealing your apprentice, right? We can each teach our own things, and there won't be any duplication in the same system."
After saying this, Wang Qiuhe looked at Li Tan cautiously, fearing that if he was unhappy, such a smart and kind disciple would run away. After all, he was the disciple he had just accepted. Although there was no overlap between Chinese and Western medicine, there was a conflict!
Li Tan waved his hand without hesitation, "What's there to blame? I see that Chu Xi should have some basic knowledge of Chinese medicine. I'm very happy that she can recognize me as her teacher. Isn't it a good thing for her to learn more?"
So, Chu Xi knelt down again and kowtowed three times to Wang Qiuhe respectfully.
In fact, she was also puzzled. She didn't know what her father was thinking, but it was difficult to disobey his orders. He must have made some arrangements.
Chu's father and mother were also very happy at this moment. Although they didn't know whether these people could be reinstated after the domestic situation improved, it would always be a good thing to have a relationship with such capable people.
So, everyone was happy, and everyone in the yard was filled with joy! There was a lot of excitement and it was no longer mentioned.
Chu Xi was no longer afraid of others' jealousy. He went home and spent half an hour preparing six main dishes and a few bottles of Moutai. He set up a table in the yard of the pig house and served wine to the apprentice. Then, everyone in the yard was considered a family.
Seeing these happy people, Chu Xi was also happy from the bottom of her heart. This made things more convenient for her parents since they were all family now.
"Xiao Chu, you are a capable man. It's remarkable that you can be the third in command in Kyoto City. However, this way of being an official is not suitable for a good disciple like me. You can't take on apprentices, haha." Li Tan joked with Chu's father excitedly.
"Yeah, we've all accepted disciples, but Xiao Chu still hasn't found his whereabouts. I'm a bit worried!" Wang Qiuhe also teased Chu's father.
They just thought that Chu Xi knew them before or was a distant relative, and never thought about the father-daughter relationship. After all, Chu Xi came here as an educated youth and married here. Chu's father had been with them for more than two years and knew his original position. He never mentioned his daughter, which led to the current misunderstanding.
"Haha..." Chu's father and mother couldn't help but laugh out loud. Even Chu Xi covered her mouth with her hands while laughing! Little Shitou didn't know what his mother was laughing at, but he also grinned.
Mr. and Mrs. Li Tan and Mr. and Mrs. Wang Qiuhe looked at each other in confusion. What was so funny?
At this moment, just as Father Chu was about to speak, Chu Xi stood up.
"Master, Master's Wife, let me formally introduce you. This is my father and mother, dear ones!"
Then, an even funnier scene happened. The four of them were all stunned and still wondering what the word "kiss" meant. Only then did they realize it belatedly.
Aunt Li spoke first, "I was wondering why Chu Xi looked a bit like her mother. I was surprised at first, but I never expected it!"
Wang Qiuhe then spoke up, "Xiao Chu, what you did was not fair. You didn't tell me about it for so long. Otherwise, I would have asked to be your disciple a long time ago, even before Li Tan did!"
Everyone laughed, and thus, Chu Xi's journey of studying combining Chinese and Western medicine began...
