Chapter 291 Extra Admonition

Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. The Lu family is hosting a banquet and relatives and friends have agreed to come on this day.

Hou Jianwen, Lin's elder sister's family, Lin Xia, Jiang Weidong's family, Lin Yue, Lin Ju, etc., plus Lu's elder sister, Lu Hehuan, Fang's Fang Dihua's nephews and nieces, Lu's father, and the children of Lu's uncle's sisters, and Lu Shaocai's family are all here.

Now everyone is busy and can't visit relatives every day in the first month of the lunar year as in the past. Fang Dihua and Lu's father notified them and asked them to come on one day.

Local relatives will go home after the banquet on the same day, and those who live far away will stay at Lu's house for two days.

Mrs. Jiang now has grandchildren and grandsons. She is cheerful every day like an old fairy. People say that raising children will make you old, but she seems to be a few years younger than she was a few years ago.

She missed Fang Dihua when she was away from home for half a year, but now she often takes her grandchildren to Linjiatun and Lin's mother's house. The sisters get along very well.

Sister Lin came to donate some brushes and paper to Lujiazhuang Primary School and Linjiatun Primary School, and also donated two picture books.

Lin Xia is now officially transferred to the power supply bureau. As soon as she arrived, she became an official and got a stable job. The treatment is quite enviable.

Seeing that Lujiazhuang is getting better and better, and the Lu family is getting higher and higher, those relatives who were originally estranged have resumed their visits, and the originally good relationship is now naturally closer.

Aunt Li, Jin Ping'er, Mrs. Qiu, Mrs. Wang and others made several pairs of cotton shoes for Granny Fang, Doctor Shao, Fang Dihua and Old Man Lu.

Zhou Xiulan made them for Lin Shu. Since she received Lin Shu's favor, she made them every year. She made both single shoes and cotton shoes. Lin Shu would not pay her.

But Pan Pan's sweet shoes were made by Lin's mother.

The vacation time passed quickly. Lu Shaotang and Chen Yanming returned to the capital to work on the tenth day of the first lunar month.

Chen Yanming and Zhan Qiuran brought their daughter to Lujiazhuang on the fifth day of the first lunar month. After they left on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Zhan Qiuran took Xiao Lan to stay and waited for the second day of the second lunar month to leave with Lin Shu and others.

This time, Lu Ping and Zhan Jiali also went to the capital with them to report to the university.

Lu Ping was admitted to Capital Agricultural University, which is the best agricultural university in China formed by the merger of the former Agricultural College of Capital University and two other agricultural colleges.

Zhan Jiali studied in the Department of Chemistry of Capital University.

Lu Ping and Zhan Qiuran both chose to live on campus. There were few college students in this era, and everyone was fresh and liked to live and communicate with outstanding classmates from all over the world. Even local students in the capital would choose to live on campus and go home on weekends.

Panpan and Tiantian were picked up by a truck sent by Minister Zhou. As

soon as the group left the station, Panpan saw Li Dashan and Zhang Qiang holding a big sign: Welcome Dad back to Beijing!

Panpan's eyes immediately turned black, and he quickly pulled on his cotton monkey hat and tried to slip to another exit, but Zhang Qiang also had sharp eyes and saw them at a glance.

Li Dashan also saw it and shouted at the top of his voice: "Dad!"

"Lu Pan!"

"Dad!"

This shout startled Shao Laoyezi, Fang Dihua, and Lu Laodie. Who called Lu Pan dad? Did they meet someone with the same name?

Why did the voice sound very similar to that naughty Li Dashan?

After knowing the whole story, Fang's mother laughed so hard that her dentures almost fell off. She hurried to support him and said, "Go back to the family compound and don't scream. If your father finds out, he will break your legs."

Li Dashan: "He has no chance to beat me. He is leading the team to field training, hehe."

Field training also has an additional subsidy of 20 yuan a month.

Panpan decided to cut off ties with Li Dashan for a while, so that she would not be reminded of the scene of social death at the station when she saw him.

The family went to the family home to rest for two days and get together with relatives and friends. On the third day, Dr. Shao took Panpan and Tiantian to become his apprentices.

Early in the morning, Dr. Shao put on the Tang suit Lin Shu made for him, and then put on a knee-length coat with rabbit fur lining, which is a specialty of Lujiazhuang. It is windproof and warm, and very stylish. He likes it very much.

Panpan and Tiantian also wore clothes for the New Year. The capital is as cold in early spring as in winter, so they still need cotton jackets, cotton pants and cotton shoes.

Tiantian wore a red striped cotton monkey coat, which was festive and beautiful. Panpan's coat was dark green, which made his skin look porcelain white and his temperament calm.

In order to show solemnity, Lu's father also accompanied them.

They brought gifts prepared by Grandma Fang and Fang Dihua.

Now Lin Shu is busy, and Grandma Fang and Fang Dihua are in charge of the affairs of the two families.

A bag of apples, two cans, two bottles of maltose, two bottles of good wine, and then go to Daoxiang Village to buy a snack box.

Minister Zhou knew that they were going to learn from a master, so he took the initiative to arrange a jeep.

Panpan didn't want to get snacks for free, so he gave money and tickets to the driver to buy them.

As a result, Master Lin asked the driver a lot, asking if he was from the courtyard over by the Princess Tomb? Do you know my little miracle doctor friends Lu Pan and Lu Tian? Are you buying snacks for the leader?

I'll give you two pieces to try, they're not from the government, they're from me.

The driver almost got his ass exposed.

Doctor Shao took them to the Gu family today, a family of traditional Chinese medicine in the capital.

Grandpa Gu's ability to diagnose is much worse than that of old doctor Shao, but his family's ability to prepare medicinal materials and make medicines has a history of nearly 300 years.

Grandpa Gu's father and teacher Dr. Zhan Qiuran's grandfather are brothers, and Dr. Gu calls him his uncle.

The Gu family is a traditional Chinese medicine family in the capital. Their ancestors were doctors. During the Republic of China, Western learning gradually spread to the East. Dr. Gu's grandfather went abroad to study and became a Western medicine surgeon, and Dr. Gu's father inherited the family tradition.

Learning medicine depends on talent. Dr. Gu's brothers and sisters are not talented enough in pulse diagnosis and diagnosis. Only his eldest brother was influenced by his father since he was a child and worked hard to learn 60% of his father's skills, and eventually became a famous doctor.

Although the eldest brother's children are not gifted, they have learned medicine since childhood and have achieved success. Now they are practicing medicine in Union Hospital and often go to see Dr. Shao for advice.

Grandpa Gu is not very good at treating patients, but he is very talented in making medicine. With

the same medicinal materials, the medicine he makes is three times more effective than others.

He is now in his seventies and has spent half his life looking for successors. As a result, he has a lot of children, apprentices, grandchildren, and apprentices. Some of them are not satisfactory, but none of them has touched his heart.

He heard from his cousin that a famous doctor came to Qizhou with two amazingly talented apprentices. The girl was very serious when she was treating patients, but the boy had a talent for making medicines.

The key is that these two children are not narrow-minded at all. They can learn Chinese medicine and Western medicine from their godmother. The two systems in their brains do not conflict or exclude each other.

Grandpa Gu was interested as soon as he heard about it and wanted to see it, but he was afraid that the reputation was not worthy of the doctor and he was afraid that he would be disappointed, so he did not dare

to see him. Later, Dr. Gu mentioned it to Zhan Qiuran. Zhan Qiuran went home to discuss it with Dr. Shao. Dr. Shao took the opportunity to instruct Grandpa Gu's nephew and mentioned it, and also let him see Panpan.

The other party's attention was on Tiantian before. After all, Panpan was just accompanying and had never seen a doctor. He noticed it now and asked Panpan a few questions.

He found that the child had a wide range of knowledge, and had read a lot of medical books, and could even simply prepare medicinal materials.

He went home and told his uncle immediately.

Grandpa Gu immediately became interested and made an appointment to meet Dr. Shao.

It was the end of the year, and Dr. Shao said that he would bring the children to him to become his apprentice after the new year, and asked someone to send a book of soup recipes copied by Panpan to Grandpa Gu.

Panpan and Tiantian were educated by Grandpa Lu since they were young. Grandpa Lu was educated in a private school. When he was young, he wrote in large characters and had a good brush calligraphy. Panpan and Tiantian

were influenced by him, and they also wrote neatly after learning to write. When they were older, they began to practice calligraphy, and their handwriting was clear and handsome, which was very popular.

Doctor Shao arranged for Grandpa Gu to take the children back to Lu's village to celebrate the New Year, but Grandpa Gu complained about it a lot.

When the group arrived at the street outside the Gu family's gate, they were seen by Grandpa Gu's great-grandson who was guarding the door.

He turned around and ran home, "Grandpa, Grandpa, they are here, they are here!"

Grandpa Gu heard it and immediately put down the purple clay pot he was holding and went out to greet them.

Panpan Tiantian was walking in front. When she saw the children, she wanted to say hello and go in together, but she didn't know that the children ran away without paying attention to her.

They had to wait at the door.

Soon, an old man with gray hair and beard, but a straight and tight face and a very energetic spirit came out with big strides. The old man walked with a square step and smiled and bowed his hands. "Brother Shao Xian, Brother Lu, I have heard of your great name for a long time." Doctor

Shao and Father Lu greeted him.

Old Master Gu was an old-fashioned man, and he would bow his hands instead of shaking hands when he met someone.

Doctor Shao also introduced Panpan and Tiantian to him.

Grandpa Gu stared at the two children with his eyes sparkling, and praised them, "Good children, you are so handsome."

Doctor Shao said proudly, "What's the big deal about being handsome? You have to teach them to learn things before you know how good they are. There is no student in the world who grows up in your heart like this." Grandpa

Gu held Panpan and Tiantian in one hand and said, "Let's go and talk to Grandpa."

His great-grandsons were stunned. These two were the same age as them, at most two years older, so how could they be a generation older than them?

When they followed him in the house and listened for a while, they realized that they were too naive!

Grandpa wanted to take in apprentices!

Several great-grandchildren ran away, not wanting to see this kid again in their lifetime.

After Panpan became his apprentice, Dr. Shao would send him to study with Grandpa Gu every week when he took Grandpa Lu and Tiantian to see patients. He would go back to recite and organize notes at night, and he could bring Tiantian to study together on Fridays. Of course, Dr. Shao and Grandpa Lu were also welcome to come and exchange ideas.

They went to school on Mondays and Wednesdays, and rested on Sundays. They went out to play with their friends or went out to play nearby with their parents.

In short, their time was fully utilized.

The two children absorbed knowledge as quickly as sponges, tirelessly and full of curiosity, which made Grandpa Gu so happy that he kept saying that he had found a treasure.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

It was the beginning of summer, the sun was shining brightly, but the temperature was not hot, which was a comfortable time.

Lin Shu changed into a beige cashmere sweater, a plain white silk scarf around her neck, and a short jujube-red woolen coat.

Cashmere sweaters and woolen coats are the latest models of Friendship Stores, high-end goods specially for export, and ordinary people can't buy them.

Chen Yanming asked around, and took Lu Shaotang out for a stroll a few days ago, and each bought a set for his wife.

Cashmere sweaters come in different colors, and Chen Yanming bought a bright red one for Zhan Qiuran, saying it was festive. The woolen coats only come in jujube red and brown.

Little Lazy sat in the stroller, his big black eyes rolling around, and his expression looked a little serious.

Fang Dihua brought warm egg custard from the kitchen and fed it to her, laughing: "This lady's expression is really serious, just like a high-ranking official. The higher the official, the more serious the face, right?"

Xiao Lan grinned at Grandma Fang.

Two millet teeth appeared on her pink gums.

She took a mouthful of egg custard slowly, turned her head back to look at Lin Shu, and tried to turn around to see if her sister had come.

Tiantian: "Pan Pan, are you ready? Hurry up, we're going to be late."

She had to go to the clinic with the two grandfathers, and Pan Pan had to go to Gu's house to study.

Pan Pan was not in a hurry. She put her books into a linen schoolbag, put it on her back, and then went to the west room to say goodbye to Lin Shu.

Lin Shu looked at Tiantian and then at Panpan, "Son, have you lost weight? Is it tiring to study at Gu's house? If it's too hard, tell your grandfather."

Panpan smiled and said, "Mom, I'm not losing weight, I'm growing taller. Haven't you noticed that I've grown taller?"

Lin Shu compared her height with his. It was true. She hadn't noticed that her son had grown taller secretly even though she had been watching him every day.

She pinched Panpan's cheeks and said lovingly, "You've lost weight, and there's less meat on your face."

Fang Dihua: "I still boil eggs and milk every morning, and cook meat every night."

When Tiantian and Panpan were growing taller, their study was very tiring, so Lin Shu asked Chen Yanming to apply for a milk book in the name of Xiaolan, and pay monthly to order milk.

This is a benefit for cadres at a certain level, and anyone with elderly or children at home can apply.

Chen Yanming paid more money to buy two more so that the whole family could have two sips.

Chen Xiaolan now drinks breast milk, formula and complementary food together, and does not drink cow's milk.

The staff at the milk station deliver milk door to door every morning, carrying a large milk bucket, and each family takes a teacup to pour it.

The staff in charge here is the uncle of a student in Zhang Qiang's team. He always pours more for Panpan, Tiantian and Wala.

Lin Shu said, "It must be because you are too tired from studying. You didn't stay up late at night, did you?"

Panpan, who stayed up late every night to memorize, said calmly, "Mom, I didn't stay up late. I went to bed at 9:30 and slept until dawn."

Lin Shu: "That's good. We can't tire ourselves out for studying. Knowledge is endless. No one can learn all the knowledge, but the body is limited."

Panpan agreed.

When everyone was about to go out, Xiaolan reached out to Tiantian again, babbling in her mouth, asking her sister to hug her.

Tiantian picked her up and kissed her little face, asking her to listen to her great-grandmother and grandmother at home.

Xiaolan took the initiative to move her little face forward, rubbed it on Tiantian's face, and then sat back reluctantly.

Lu Shaotang and Chen Yanming would take them there on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, so Minister Zhou didn't need to send an extra car.

Today, Panpan arrived at Gu's house and found several cars parked at the door. It was estimated that Grandpa Gu's family came back yesterday.

Gu's house is very big. It used to be a large medical clinic. There is a row of medical clinics and pharmacies in front, and the courtyards in the back are overlapping. There are special rooms for drying and storing medicinal materials, special rooms for preparing medicinal materials, and more confidential medicine making rooms.

Now, after several renovations, there are no medical clinics and pharmacies, and the courtyards are divided among the children of the Gu family.

Only the courtyard behind the main house, the two cross courtyards on the left and right, and the courtyard in the front were left by Grandpa Gu as his study, medicine making room, storage room, etc.

Panpan was usually very well-behaved. He only stayed in the rooms that Grandpa Gu had taken him to. He could read books in the study, identify herbs in the yard where they were dried, and go to the storage room. He would not wander around other yards and rooms.

In the past, when he came to study, Grandpa Gu would wait for him in the house, but today he was not there.

The house was clean and tidy, so he didn't need to waste his time cleaning. He read two pages of the book, and seeing that Grandpa Gu hadn't come yet, he wanted to go to the backyard to look for him.

When he walked to the second door, he vaguely heard the sound of someone getting angry. Panpan stopped and went back to his room to continue reading.

In the main room of the backyard, while Mrs. Gu was comforting Mr. Gu, she was scolding her children with a fierce face, "Have you been blinded by lard? What nonsense are you talking about?" The

eldest brother Gu said, "Mom, I didn't say anything too much, did I? Our Gu family is not worthy of a boy like him? Isn't it unfair for him to be the son-in-law of the third brother?" The youngest

sister Gu said, "Brother, what era are you still trying to arrange marriages? This is a new society!"

The second and third brothers of the Gu family didn't say anything. They were used to following the eldest brother's lead.

The third brother Gu is 48 years old this year and has a 15-year-old daughter.

The eldest brother Gu felt that since Lu Pan wanted to learn the Gu family's secret recipe for making medicine from the old man, he had to show his sincerity and naturally become a member of the Gu family.

Otherwise, who would easily reveal a secret recipe that is passed down from father to son, and from family to family

, but not to outsiders? Their family's secret recipe is a national treasure, a confidential recipe ordered by the central government, and is not disclosed to the public.

Unlike Dr. Shao, Grandpa Gu was protected and not affected, and his children stayed with him. Now they all hold leadership positions in pharmaceutical factories, hospital pharmacies, and health bureaus.

The Gu family is now a large family with status. If it weren't for Grandpa Gu's insistence on his original intention to find a very talented disciple, Brother Gu would never let outsiders into the family.

He also admitted that Lu Pan was excellent and a good seedling, and maybe he could lead the Gu family to a higher level in the future.

The premise is that he is a member of the Gu family.

Grandpa Gu felt that his eldest son was more old-fashioned and feudal than he was. In the past, people cherished their possessions, but now it is a new society. Many shops, workshops, and crafts in the past have been jointly operated by the public and private sectors, which is equivalent to being handed over to the state.

It’s not that his family’s medicine-making technology was not handed over, but the central government felt that it should be kept secret.

The eldest son felt that he was old and confused, and wanted to hand over the family business to an outsider. He thought that the eldest son was old and confused!

Grandpa Gu subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch his purple clay pot. After touching it for a few times and failing to touch it, he remembered that he had just thrown it in anger.

He was so distressed. It was hard for an old man of his age to feel good. This purple clay pot has been with him for more than 30 years.

He sighed, fell back in his chair, and said in a discouraged tone: "What do you have? Didn't you rely on the protection of your ancestors to get your current status and position? You haven't achieved anything remarkable yet, and you've begun to stagnate. I ask myself if I have lived up to you, not letting you go hungry, giving you a good education, and nurturing you to become talents. Now you are all well-mannered and leaders, so what are you not satisfied with? If you are interested, come and take a look at me in the future. If not, just go back to your work. I'm making this clear today, all my pharmaceutical manufacturing technology will be handed over to the country in the end. You haven't learned all the skills because you are incompetent!"

After saying this, he waved his hand, closed his eyes, and ignored them.

The younger sister of the Gu family hurriedly said, "Dad, don't be angry. My elder brother is just worried. It's better for everyone to know more. I think Lu Pan is a good child."

The elder brother glared at her.

The younger sister of the Gu family said, "Brother, my elder sister will definitely not be happy if she knows what you did."

The elder brother of the Gu family said, "The Angong Niuhuang Pills in our family are the best. They are top-secret recipes."

The old lady of the Gu family said unhappily, "Okay, your father will prepare a box for you, enough for you to eat!"

Seeing that the old lady was also angry, the elder brother of the Gu family shut up.

He didn't have much to say. He didn't come back to anger the old man on purpose. He just felt that the old man was a little stubborn, so he said a few words to him.

He said, "Dad, don't be angry. I was wrong. You are the boss right now. I am just...meddling in other people's business."

He turned around and walked out. He looked at the broken purple clay teapot under his feet and felt distressed. He picked it up and put it on the tea table beside him. When

Brother Gu arrived at the front yard, he looked at the study where Lu Pan was studying.

The young boy had an upright figure, handsome eyebrows and eyes, and elegant temperament. The way he sat there reading was a beautiful painting.

But there is no shortage of ungrateful people these days. I have helped so many people, but how many of them are grateful in the end?

Some came to steal the recipe, some came to steal the technology, and there were even spies from enemy countries.

The old man is old and has forgotten all the past, but he remembers it clearly.

If the old man had not been gifted in making medicine, and had not been able to develop a new recipe after the recipe was stolen, I'm afraid the Gu family would have packed up and returned to their hometown.

That person was also a brilliant talent, but later, he immigrated abroad.

Panpan felt the gazes scrutinizing him. He put down the book and looked over. Seeing that it was the eldest brother of the Gu family, he stood up and said, "Uncle Gu."

He wanted to call him Grandpa Gu for a while. After all, the eldest brother Gu was in his fifties and not much younger than his grandfather. But he just called him Grandpa Gu and left it at that.

Brother Gu walked in and waved his hand, "Since you are the old master's last disciple, you have to call me senior brother."

Panpan smiled slightly, "Uncle Gu, the country has resumed the college entrance examination, and more medical universities will be opened soon. Grandpa Gu will become a teacher for many people, and he will have many students all over the world. I am also one of his students."

Brother Gu was slightly startled. Others try their best to cling to the old master's thigh and get closer to him, but this kid keeps his distance?

Can a last disciple be the same as a student?

Lu Pan continued, "Uncle Gu, I want to learn from Grandpa Gu, learn his compassionate spirit, learn his theories and techniques in the field of medicine making, and I don't need to learn secret prescriptions. I hope that I can understand pharmacology through learning, and then I can improve the old prescriptions and make my own prescriptions according to the symptoms." He looked at

the eldest brother of the Gu family in front of him, his voice was calm, and his demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant. "Uncle Gu, I don't just want to learn Chinese medicine and medicine making, I also want to learn Western medicine. Whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, they are all technologies, and we don't need to deify them. In this world, There is no medical skill that can solve all diseases. Chinese medicine, Western medicine, even veterinary medicine, witch doctors, etc., as long as they can cure diseases, they are good medical skills. "

Brother Gu was shocked and speechless for a while. The young man's clear voice rang in his ears, "I want to go to college, I want to study medicine, I also want to study chemistry and physics, I want to invent more medicines, no matter whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, medicine that can cure diseases and save lives is good medicine!"

What Lu Pan didn't say was: Uncle Gu, you really don't have to be wary of me, don't quarrel with Grandpa Gu because of me, wouldn't you feel more distressed if he got angry and got sick?

Although he didn't watch the whole scene, this courtyard is not very soundproof, and he can still hear a few words if the voice is louder.

He was such a sensitive person that he could understand the general meaning of words, a few words, and even the expression and eyes of Brother Gu.

If other children said such words, Brother Gu would think that they were overestimating themselves and bragging, but when Lu Pan said such words, he felt that they were very important.

It was a revelation.

He was a little flustered by Lu Pan's words, and he didn't know how he left. At first, he maintained the airs of an elder, but when he walked out of the door, he walked slowly.

The second and third brothers of the Gu family were waiting for him outside, "Brother?"

The eldest brother sighed, "I am... narrow-minded."

He was really narrow-minded. Lu Pan was just a child, a simple and extremely intelligent child. His father was a senior military official, and his mother was a literary and artistic talent. If he didn't love it, why would he have to come to learn pharmaceutical manufacturing?

Whether he joins the army or works in a government agency, his parents can support him.

He couldn't help but slapped himself lightly.

The second and third brothers were shocked, "Brother, it shouldn't be that serious."

The eldest brother: "Let's go."

He was really embarrassed to be scolded by a child.
