As expected, the three Gan siblings all agreed after discussing it.
"Yuxiu." They responded, and Principal Xu looked at his young apprentice.
"I will contact someone to pick up Mr. Gan tomorrow. You can discuss the specific matters with them face to face after they arrive. I can only act as a matchmaker for you." For the sake of the teacher, Zhong Yuxiu did not make things difficult for him.
Besides, she had a good impression of the eldest brother of the Gan family, but the other two were just average.
"That's great." Principal Xu then said to the three Gan siblings, "This is all we can do. You must not tell anyone else about your participation in the experimental project. Remember, confidentiality is paramount."
Gan Maojun said gratefully, "Uncle Xu, Comrade Zhong, thank you very much. We won't tell anyone."
"Then..." He wanted to give a few more instructions, but seeing that the other two Gan siblings had no intention of listening, Principal Xu swallowed his words and said, "Yuxiu, please prescribe some medicine for my old friend and let him take it first."
At least you have to save your life first. You may die at any time in the next two days.
"Comrade Zhong, thank you for your trouble." Gan Maojun expressed his sincere gratitude.
"Do you have a pen and paper?"
Gan Maojun felt in his pocket and went to look at his two younger brothers and sisters. "Do you have paper and pen?"
"Yes, I have some here." The woman from the Gan family opened the cloth bag she was carrying, took out a notebook and a pen, and handed them to her. "Comrade Zhong, thank you for your help."
"No problem." He took it, flipped open the notebook, and tested the pen's nib. Zhong Yuxiu quickly wrote a prescription in the notebook. It only had eight herbs, but the combination of the ingredients was very delicate, with each herb complementing and counteracting each other. "This prescription is very strict on the dosage, and even the slightest mistake cannot be tolerated. It's best for you to watch the person dispense the medicine. You must know that even the slightest mistake can lead to a huge error, and it will have a significant impact on Mr. Gan's condition."
The second son of the Gan family hesitated. "The dosage is so strictly controlled. Can the people who dispense the medicine at the pharmacy handle it?"
If he made a mistake, the consequence would be his father's life.
"Tell them to be careful. Nothing will happen. That's why your family members need to supervise it personally." Zhong Yuxiu said calmly, "The prescription clearly states that you need to be careful when dispensing the medicine. They will try their best to pay attention to it."
The second son of the Gan family nodded and took the prescription with both hands, "Thank you, Doctor Zhong."
"Don't worry, Yuxiu also sees patients at the First Hospital in the West City. The people in the pharmacy recognize her handwriting." I won't fool them.
Gan Maojun looked at Zhong Yuxiu with a different look. She was so young, yet she was already a practicing doctor. The medical system had a set of rules for hiring people: newcomers needed internships, and only after accumulating sufficient experience could they consult and prescribe independently. This showed just how outstanding Zhong Yuxiu was.
"Uncle Xu, Doctor Zhong, thank you so much. Are you two free today? Can we go to a restaurant for dinner together?"
Principal Xu's eyes fell on Zhong Yuxiu and asked for her opinion.
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head slightly and said, "Teacher, I have to hurry back, otherwise Rushan will be worried when he comes back and sees that I'm not at home."
"That's fine. Remember to let me know if you have any news." It was indeed difficult to walk around outside with a big belly. "Remember to go for a prenatal checkup every month. Don't be afraid of the trouble. If you don't want to go to the military hospital, come to the West City First Hospital. We can make an appointment for you in advance."
"Okay, thank you, teacher. Please go slowly on your way back. If possible, let Mr. Gan take you back."
Principal Xu was overjoyed, and the gloom he felt over his old friend's illness was somewhat dispelled. He smiled at her and said, "Don't worry about me. I'm already familiar with the way back. You should hurry back and don't stay outside too long. The air in the hospital isn't as good as at home. Go quickly."
"Okay, I'll be leaving now. Please take care of yourself. When the baby is born, I'll invite you to my house for a full-moon banquet."
The master and the disciple talked as if no one was around. After Zhong Yuxiu left, Gan Maojun asked, "Uncle Xu, your disciple is really young." He couldn't say this because someone was around.
"Yuxiu is a smart girl with great talent. She has become a master after studying with me for less than two years." Principal Xu was very pleased. She was much better than the previous ones.
"Didn't you always say that it takes more than ten years to learn Chinese medicine?"
Principal Xu glanced at him, clasped his hands together, and said slowly, "For ordinary people, even those with exceptional talent, it can take a few months to become a master."
"I've never heard of it." Shaking his head, Gan Maojun's beliefs were severely impacted.
"It's good that you haven't heard of it. Take good care of your father. I will come over tomorrow and we will take your father in for treatment together." Principal Xu looked back at the person on the hospital bed before turning around and leaving.
Gan Maojun had an unfathomable look on his face. He believed what Principal Xu said; however, to be able to become an apprentice in just a few months was a joke. Not to mention whether he could finish reading all the numerous medical books, could he learn how to take a pulse in just a few months?
"Brother, do you think Dr. Zhong's work is reliable? He's so young and still researching medicine. I feel it's a bit unreliable." The second son of the Gan family was hesitant. "How about using your connections to find out if there really is a medicine that Dr. Zhong is researching?"
Gan Maojun's eyes were full of understanding, and he shook his head decisively. "Uncle Xu has already said that this is a secret potion, and it's impossible to find out. Uncle Xu wouldn't joke with Dad's life. Since he mentioned the potion, it must be Dad's only chance of survival."
The second son of the Gan family seemed to be thinking about something, and after a moment, he said.
"Brother, you're right. Uncle Xu and Dad have been friends for many years. It's impossible for him to do anything to harm Dad. Our Dad is terminally ill, so there's no need to harm him."
The third daughter of the Gan family was a girl, and she was more thoughtful. "Big brother, second brother, have you noticed? Uncle Xu thinks too highly of this little disciple. Maybe the potion she's researching can only save Dad."
"We have no choice." Gan Maojun said in a low voice, as if he had made up his mind. "Don't doubt people anymore. Employ people with confidence, and don't employ people you doubt. We ask people for help while we're still talking about them behind their backs. Mind your manners."
Cancer is a global problem, not just one country's; they all understand how difficult it is to treat. Yet, after years of being sent down to the countryside, finally experiencing a happy ending, their father has been stricken with a terminal illness before he can enjoy a belatedly peaceful life. How can they accept this? How can they bear it?
"I understand, brother, don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense again." The second son of the Gan family lowered his head.
The third daughter of the Gan family smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Brother, you're getting more serious now. Let's discuss who will take care of father when the time comes. I want to go. I'm a woman, so I can definitely take better care of him than you men."
"I'd better go. I'm worried about Dad not being there to watch over me." Gan Maojun took the responsibility. "Your family is burdened with heavy responsibilities, but I'm the only one with a small burden. I only have one son. He's married, has children, and has a stable job. I don't have to worry."
