"Don't worry, Grandma Fu. I will definitely keep him busy so that he won't have time to sit down," Tong Yiya said with a smile.
Seeing how good the relationship was between the two of them, several old men watched and smiled.
They chatted for a while, and Fu Shinian thought of Xiaoya's desire to become Grandpa Zhang's disciple, so he pulled his great-grandfather aside and asked him about it.
Grandpa Fu didn't expect Tong Yiya to have such an idea, but thinking that Old Zhang was in such a state because of his students' report, he didn't dare to promise his grandson for a while, and only said: "I have to ask about this first, maybe Old Zhang will agree."
"It's okay, Grandpa. Xiaoya has also said that we just need you to ask. If Grandpa Zhang doesn't want to, we won't force him," said Fu Shinian.
"Okay, let's sit back down," said Grandpa Fu.
After the two of them sat back by the fire, Grandpa Fu switched seats with Grandpa Dong who was sitting next to Grandpa Zhang. He first asked Grandpa Zhang in a low voice: "Old Zhang, my grandson just asked me for help. He wanted to know if you are still willing to accept a disciple."
Zhang Lao didn't expect his old brother to ask this question. He thought everyone should know why he was demoted. But he didn't get angry. He just said, "Why would your grandson ask this? Why, does he want to learn medicine?"
Grandpa Fu saw that Old Zhang's face didn't change much, so he replied, "No, it was Tong who wanted to learn. I heard from my grandson that she learned the medical skills by herself before, and she also read books and memorized them by rote to pass the examination. But she wants to find a master to learn from her, for fear of making mistakes in the future."
When Mr. Zhang heard that it was Miss Tong who wanted to learn, he was a little tempted, but the scenes of betrayal in the past seemed to be still in front of him. He was afraid that he had chosen the wrong person again, so he did not agree immediately. He only said to Mr. Fu: "I have to think about this matter again."
"Okay, then you think about it first. Tong girl also said that even if you don't want to do it in the end, she won't have any ideas. Don't put pressure on yourself," said Mr. Fu.
"Yes," Mr. Zhang replied
Tong Yiya and the other person sat for a while, then got up and went back. Before leaving, Grandpa Fu told Fu Shinian that Mr. Zhang needed to think about it again, so they should wait a little longer.
The two of them returned to Tong Yiya's courtyard first. After entering the house, Fu Shinian spoke up and said, "My great grandfather said that Grandpa Zhang wants to reconsider the matter of becoming a disciple. Let's wait a little longer."
"Well, wait a little longer. Are you hungry? How about I cook two bowls of noodles so you can have a midnight snack here before going back?" Tong Yiya asked
She didn't mind waiting a little longer. After all, after she started dating someone recently, she didn't study medical books anymore. Every night, she would find some other books in her space and read them. She thought they were pretty good.
Previously, she felt that she had put too much pressure on herself, which caused her acupuncture to stagnate.
She decided to relax herself appropriately and learn other things from time to time. It was also nice to kill some leisure time.
Fu Shinian looked at her eager eyes and nodded, saying, "Okay, then have a bowl. I'll go cook for you."
"Okay, let's go. By the way, do you want to cook a bowl for Guard Dong as well?" Tong Yiya suddenly remembered that there was a single guy next door and asked
"No need, he should be asleep by now," Fu Shinian said
Dong Weibing, who was still waiting for Fu Shinian to return safely next door, suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose and said, "What's going on? Is it a cold? I'd better wait in the quilt."
So he crawled into his own bed, always listening to the noise outside.
The two people next door cooked noodles, put pickled vegetables and minced meat fried by Tong Yiya on them, brought them back into the house, and ate them with such deliciousness.
After they finished eating the noodles, Fu Shinian took the bowl back to the kitchen and said to Tong Yiya, "Xiaoya, it's getting late. I'll go back first. You should get some rest early, okay?"
"Okay, then I'll take you to the door and close the gate," Tong Yiya said as she stood up.
"Okay, then put on your coat," Fu Shinian said
Tong Yiya took off her coat because she felt hot while eating noodles. She was wearing a cotton sweater and vest under her coat, so she was not cold at all in the house.
She originally thought it was troublesome and didn't want to put it on, but when Fu Shinian suggested it, she obediently picked up the coat and put it on.
After sending Fu Shinian out, he said at the door: "Close the door first and I'll go over."
Tong Yiya had no choice but to listen to him. After closing the door, Fu Shinian pushed the door outside to make sure it was closed. He said "good night" to her and went back to the next yard.
Tong Yiya returned to the room, closed the door, took off her coat and vest, added some firewood to the kang, then she got on the kang and spread out the bedding.
She didn't plan to read in the space today, and it was getting late, so she lay down in the quilt early and fell asleep soon after turning off the lights.
Two days passed like this, and the village started slaughtering pigs and distributing the meat. When Fu Shinian heard the news in the morning, he came early to tell Tong Yiya, and then they would line up together to share the meat.
This was the first time they appeared in public together after they started dating, and Tong Yiya agreed.
She also said to Fu Shinian: "Why don't we three eat together later? You go back and ask Dong Weibing, whoever has time can cook. I'll give you a key to my courtyard door. If I go out to dig herbs and don't come back, you can come and cook first."
This was the conclusion Tong Yiya came to after thinking about it. She thought that the living standards of the three of them were not low, and Dong Weibing and Fu Shinian were not the kind of people who would let her suffer. Moreover, after the two of them started dating, she felt that eating separately was not to her liking, so she brought it up.
Fu Shinian didn't expect her to bring it up first. In fact, he had wanted to have dinner with Tong Yiya alone earlier, but Dong Weibing was his brother who grew up with him, so it was not easy to leave him aside.
He also thought about bringing Guard Dong along, but he was afraid that gossip among the villagers would spread and damage Tong Yiya's reputation, so he never brought it up.
Of course, he also wanted to eat with his partner every day. In his opinion, Xiaoya only earned five yuan a month. Even if she had work points and food, she would definitely not eat as well as when she ate with them.
Now that she had brought it up first, he didn't even need to ask Guard Dong, and he agreed: "No, he will definitely agree. As long as you agree, I will work with him to move all our food to your side this afternoon."
Tong Yiya thought of her small cellar and refused, "You can just move them here bag by bag. My cellar is a little small and can't hold so many things."
