Chapter 17



Ye Changyuan was holding the bowl when he suddenly remembered something, "Why did that old man ask you to do something today?"

Ye Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and did not mention the matter of accepting a disciple for the time being, "He wants you to go to his pharmacy to help."

Ye Changyuan was shocked. "That's just going to work! Xiaoxiao, you still have to study."

Ye Changsheng also looked over with a serious expression, "School will start soon after the Chinese New Year, and studying is the most important thing."

"Yes, Xiaoxiao, you are still young. Don't think about other things. Just take advantage of this holiday to have fun." Miao Fengshan said with concern.

“…”

The winter vacation here is really long.

Ye Xiaoxiao will certainly not give up studying. She assured: "I will go during my breaks, it won't affect my studies."

Hearing her say this, Ye Changsheng and others reluctantly agreed.

The next morning, Ye Changsheng and Ye Changyuan packed up and went home.

For the time being, the two of them will not buy any New Year goods.

Because the mountain road was difficult to travel on, it was too unsafe for the two of them to carry the goods.

Every year, the whole family goes together to buy New Year's goods, using a sled to pull the goods home.

Ye Xiaoxiao also came to the drugstore as promised.

Song Guangjing got up early in the morning to clean up the front and back yards of the shop, making the house inside and outside look tidier.

He is nearly sixty years old this year, and because of some dark times he has experienced, he looks particularly old.

If he hadn't really been impressed by Ye Xiaoxiao's talent, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to accept her as his apprentice.

As soon as Ye Xiaoxiao walked into the shop, she saw Song Guangjing sitting inside.

"Come on, little girl. You can test this old man as you like."

Ye Xiaoxiao calmly walked up to the old man and said, "Don't be anxious. Shouldn't we introduce ourselves first?"

Song Guangjing nodded and said, "My name is Song Guangjing, I am fifty-two years old this year. I was originally from Beijing, but later I went to the countryside in Heiyun Province and never went back."

Ye Xiaoxiao also spoke, "My name is Ye Xiaoxiao, I'm seventeen years old, and I also came from Beijing, but I have to finish high school here.

You will take the college entrance examination next year. Even if you become my disciple, you won’t have much time to study.”

She was determined to continue studying, and when she entered university, she would apply for medical school.

"You will be able to go to university in the college entrance examination next year. It's great to go to university!" Song Guangjing suddenly became excited. "You must be admitted to Jinghua University. It is one of the few schools in the country that offers a medical major."

Ye Xiaoxiao: “…”

Let’s not talk about whether she can be admitted to a top national university. Jinghua University is in Beijing.

She had made up her mind not to go anywhere.

Seeing Ye Xiaoxiao hesitate, Song Guangjing asked in surprise, "Why... do you have other ideas?"

“Not at this time.”

Now is not the time to get tangled up in this. Ye Xiaoxiao came here today to give the old man a difficult problem, and she has already thought of the problem.

It was a difficult and complicated disease that she saw in her grandfather's notes.

Ye Xiaoxiao handed over the topic that she had already written, "Mr. Song, please give me some advice."

Song Guangjing took the question and read it carefully. No matter what the result was, his serious attitude impressed others.

"This is the first time I've heard of this disease..."

Moreover, since we cannot communicate with patients face to face and can only rely on written descriptions, we may mislead the doctor.

Song Guangjing sat in front of the counter in the medicine shop and pondered for a long time, then wrote down a few medicine names on a piece of paper.

"You came to the test with answers, didn't you? Don't wait until you finish writing, you won't be able to see anything."

Ye Xiaoxiao smiled confidently, "Old man, don't underestimate me. I'm sure you can see through me."

Because when grandpa was still alive, she had discussed this difficult and complicated disease with him more than once.

Song Guangjing blew the ink dry and said, "It's done."

Ye Xiaoxiao took it with a somewhat surprised expression, because the prescription given by Mr. Song was very close to the last plan she discussed with her grandfather.

This was the first time Song Guangjing came into contact with this case.

Ye Xiaoxiao has already made a decision.

"Mr. Song, I am willing to take you as my teacher."

Song Guangjing's smile gradually grew bigger, and finally he laughed heartily: "Hahaha, good, good, from today on you are Song Guangjing's apprentice. Originally, a small ceremony was needed, but this place is too simple.

When I return to the capital later, I will definitely hold another apprenticeship banquet."

Ye Xiaoxiao felt that there was something wrong with what he said. Mr. Song did not seem like an ordinary person.

Song Guangjing had already turned around and went to the backyard, and called Ye Xiaoxiao, "Come here, Master has something good for you."

Ye Xiaoxiao followed him to the backyard. The yard was not very big, but there was a well in it and a jackfruit tree in the corner, which was quite artistic.

Song Guangjing's yard had four side rooms, all filled with medicinal herbs. One could smell the scent of several kinds of dried herbs mixed together.

The main house has three large rooms and one small room.

He walked into the bedroom in the main house, took out a box and handed it to Ye Xiaoxiao.

After opening it, there was a white jade seal inside.

The white jade is warm, smooth and delicate, and of extraordinary quality.

The words "Ren De" are engraved at the bottom of the seal.

Song Guangjing looked like he was reminiscing. "This is what my master gave me when I became his disciple. Benevolence and virtue. We medical students should never forget these two words."

Ye Xiaoxiao took the gift and said, "I'll remember this, Master."

Song Guangjing was deeply moved by the word "Master" and quickly agreed a few times.

"We agreed before that as long as you are willing to be my apprentice, I will pay you wages every month. Of course, you don't need to do anything. It can be regarded as pocket money."

Song Guangjing kept his word. He took out five big group cards and stuffed them into Ye Xiaoxiao's pocket.

The sense of violation in Ye Xiaoxiao's heart became even stronger.

This master of hers really has a lot of secrets. The entire pharmacy probably doesn't make more than 50 yuan a month.

So the other party is just living off its past achievements.

"Master, you gave me too much."

Song Guangjing waved his hand, "Not much, not much, but you have to study hard. If you don't study hard, I will punish you."

Ye Xiaoxiao thought he would say, sweep the floor.

But she really wants to study medicine, so she will work hard.

All day long, Ye Xiaoxiao helped to sort out the herbs in the herbal medicine shop. It was also a task given to her by Song Guangjing to see how good her basic skills were.

There is no lunch in winter here, only two meals a day.

So at three o'clock, Song Guangjing said, "Let's stop here today and go home early."

After Ye Xiaoxiao put away the herbs at hand, she stood up and said, "Okay, let's come back tomorrow."

Today, Ye Xiaoxiao was the only one left in Miao Fengshan's house.

Miao Fengshan was not stingy and killed another rabbit.

"Grandma, you killed the rabbit again."

Miao Fengshan: "It's cold, so it's hard to keep them alive. There's not enough food to feed them, so they're just right for eating meat."

But Ye Xiaoxiao knew that her grandmother was comforting her, because the rabbit could be sold for meat, so she couldn't eat it all herself.

Miao Fengshan: "How is it? What do you do in the pharmacy? Is it hard?"

Ye Xiaoxiao shook her head: "It's just classifying herbs. It's not tiring at all."

After receiving this answer, Miao Fengshan was relieved a little, "That's good, if you feel tired, we won't do it!"

When Yanyan was at home before, her family was reluctant to let her work. In the whole Baishi Village, everyone envied the girl in Ye Jianguo's family.

Now seeing Ye Xiaoxiao busy all day, Miao Fengshan feels very guilty.
