Chapter 351 A Family
This is really a case of "when all else fails, there's light in the west". The job is done!
She didn't want to go to work, but what she didn't want even more was the upcoming New Year, as she was being plotted to join the group of educated youth sent to the countryside for re-education.
There are old and young people in the family. How can they survive without her life-saving space?
Besides, her family would definitely be sad if she left alone.
"Brother, when Master Bai comes back, will he blame you?"
"Don't worry, my master left a message. She said we are a family, and if you have any difficulties, Tongrentang will certainly help you."
The gratitude in Chen Kexin's heart is like the endless flow of a river.
She has always felt that her uncle-master is not as good as her father-master, but now she finds that her uncle-master also likes her.
I quickly thought of something and said tentatively: "Brother, can you give me a work certificate? I'm worried that the street office will ask me to go to the countryside."
"no problem!"
The apprentice opened a locked drawer with clumsy hands and feet, took out a piece of paper, quickly issued a certificate, stamped it with Tong Ren Tang's big red seal and handed it over.
Chen Kexin originally thought that the other party was just a small-time figure with little power who only dispensed medicine. It turned out that he was a big shot. She had obviously misjudged him.
She took the certificate and asked humbly with eyes full of admiration: "Brother, what is your name?"
The handsome boy who was smiling just now suddenly changed his expression and said, "If you have something to do, just do it. If you have nothing else, pick out the damp and moldy Angelica dahurica from the box..."
Chen Kexin instantly understood why her senior brother’s attitude changed so drastically.
This senior brother’s name should also be very shocking.
My uncle's name was Bai Tou Weng. You can imagine how a young girl felt when she was called this name.
And my master's name is actually "Da Huang"
I don't understand why the founder of Tongrentang gave his disciples such weird names?
Not wanting to poke someone in the stomach, he asked respectfully, "Brother, please don't take it personally. I just want to know how to address you from now on."
The handsome boy still said with a tense face: "Just call me Ninth Senior Brother."
Chen Kexin muttered to herself: Uncle Bai actually has so many apprentices, that's amazing!
He shouted respectfully: "Ninth Senior Brother, hello!"
The other party was relieved.
Chen Kexin has found a job, but I wonder if her parents have found jobs yet?
She had no mood to go to work, so she asked tentatively, "Ninth Senior Brother, I have something to do today. Can I come to work the day after tomorrow?"
Senior Brother Nine said nonchalantly, "You have an exam next month, right? The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Tong Ren Tang will also have a ten-day holiday. You can study at home with peace of mind, and you don't need to come over."
"Is there such a good thing? Am I dreaming?"
"Ninth Senior Brother, when Senior Uncle Bai comes back and finds out about this, will he criticize you?"
"No! As long as you study hard and pass the pharmacist exam, my master will be happy."
Chen Kexin had an idea in her mind and secretly decided to study hard and get the pharmacist certificate.
In her joy, she took out dates, dried longans, big apples and other food from her pocket and put them all in front of the other person.
"Ninth Senior Brother, thank you so much. Please accept this little gift."
The ninth senior brother looked at the bag carried by the junior sister with a puzzled look, and thought to himself: Junior sister's bag can really hold a lot of things!
Chen Kexin felt the other party's strange gaze, and then she realized that she seemed to be confused, and used the bag as a cover to take out more things from the space.
It would definitely not be appropriate to take it back now, so it’s better to get away as soon as possible.
She put the bag against her chest, left the pharmacy and got on the bus, and immediately let out a long breath.
No wonder there is a saying: Carelessness leads to loss. Never get carried away in the future.
The bus moved slowly forward. Chen Kexin saw the buildings flashing by outside. When she saw the nursing home on the side of the road, she slapped her head and realized that she had forgotten to go for acupuncture.
I went to visit my relatives in the army a few days ago. There were some things going on at home these two days, so I don’t know how the conditions of those elderly people are doing.
Seeing the bus stop, she quickly jumped off.
There were quite a lot of people getting on the bus just now. The waiter just squeezed through the crowd at the back to collect the tickets, and found that the little girl was about to get off the bus without buying a ticket, so he immediately shouted: "Wait, buy a ticket..."
Only then did Chen Kexin realize that she was suspected of hitchhiking. She turned around, took out some change from her pocket, and bought the ticket with an apologetic look on her face.
When the waiter realized that she was not trying to evade the fare, he grumbled in dissatisfaction: "You're only going one stop and you're still riding the bus? What a waste of resources."
Chen Kexin couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
In this day and age, people value thriftiness, and those who can walk do not take the car.
Now that he was caught red-handed, he could only pretend to be deaf and walk briskly towards the nursing home on the roadside.
As soon as she walked into the gate of the nursing home, several elderly people who were walking in the yard and looked in good spirits saw her and immediately greeted her with smiles on their faces.
"Doctor Chen, you haven't been here for a long time. Are you back from visiting relatives?"
"Dear uncles and aunts, I came back from visiting relatives the day before yesterday. Something happened at home, so I only have time to come and see you today."
The elderly people enthusiastically asked, "Doctor Chen, what's the problem at home? Tell us and see if we can help."
Chen Kexin smiled and said, "It's nothing. Thank you for your concern. It has been resolved."
Someone whispered mysteriously, "Doctor Chen, I have good news for you. Someone anonymously donated a batch of food, vegetables, and fruits to the welfare home. We can now have enough food to eat."
Chen Kexin was delighted that the grain was not diverted by some people for other purposes.
Come to think of it, she has been very busy since she secretly put the food there and has no time to come for acupuncture.
She felt warm in her heart. She thought that she had done nothing but gained everyone's care and trust.
These ordinary people have simple and honest minds, which is rare.
Putting herself in the other person's shoes, she reminded him worriedly, "Auntie, don't tell anyone about this, lest someone gets jealous."
"Doctor Chen, we know this. You are not an outsider. I believe you will keep it a secret for us."
Chen Kexin felt deeply moved that these elderly people had decades of life experience and had a good eye for people.
She smiled and said, "Of course I won't tell anyone. Who wants acupuncture? I will continue to provide acupuncture for free."
"Doctor Chen is a very kind person. The acupuncture you gave me a few days ago was very effective. Give me a few more needles."
"Okay, let's stick to the old rules. Line up first and I'll give you acupuncture right away."
The elderly people immediately spread the word, and many came to wait for acupuncture.
More than half an hour later, it was time for lunch.
The elderly people got rice and cabbage soup from the cafeteria and said, "Doctor Chen, it's noon. Try the cabbage and rice that the anonymous donor gave us. They taste delicious."
"How can this be so embarrassing? They donated it to you old people. Should I pay for it?"
"Doctor Chen, you've worked so hard to give us acupuncture. We've long considered you a family member. Don't be polite."
Family! Chen Kexin was touched.
"All right!"
Song Kexin ate rice and cabbage, which were indeed the products of her own space.
I muttered to myself: The senior leader who manages this welfare home is a good person.
