Zhou Xiaoxi, who was a little anxious at first, quickly relaxed and calmly handed the important task to his sister.

In fact, she had learned everything that Doctor Zhang taught her, but her younger sister's ability to draw inferences about other situations and apply what she had learned was far beyond her reach.

My sister not only had a thorough understanding of the medicinal materials in my father's prescriptions, but also became familiar with a few more herbs.

However, Zhou Xiaoxi has a keen interest in the cultivation and growth of medicinal herbs.

In her previous life, she loved flowers and plants. Although the house was rented, she still took good care of it. The balcony of her home was filled with various plants, giving a feeling of paradise.

If we could transplant the medicinal herbs from the mountains back home, wouldn’t it save a lot of effort?

Doctor Zhang also said that as long as they are carefully cared for, the properties of most medicinal herbs will not be much different from those in the wild.

Of course, the rare medicinal materials that need to absorb the essence of heaven and earth and condense the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers are another matter. Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoxi secretly had some calculations in his heart.

The three-day appointment has arrived, and the performance of the two sisters has far exceeded Doctor Zhang's expectations. He even has the urge to accept them as his disciples.

Although the eldest daughter of the Zhou family is not that talented, she is very smart, intelligent and steady, and she also has a talent for growing medicinal herbs.

The second girl of the Zhou family has an extraordinary comprehension of the art of medicine.

The little girl just followed suit and took her father's and her own pulse, and she was able to explain a few differences between the two men in a meaningful and clear manner.

The moxibustion points he taught her were so easy to learn that she never made a mistake! If she could wait another three or five days, he felt that the little girl would be able to give Zhou Jun acupuncture.

If the people of Huaihua Village had not been so greedy and kept bothering him, he would have been willing to stay a few more days.

However, in just three short days, the threshold of Old Man Zhou's house was almost broken down by the villagers.

He had seen many such scenes during his years of traveling, and even encountered even more extreme situations. Although he had become adept at dealing with them, he still found them annoying.

The Zhou Jun couple are so lucky.

Doctor Zhang, who is nearly fifty years old and still unmarried, is very envious and jealous. How great it would be if the child was his own!

Alas, they can both be his granddaughters now. Time really is merciless.

He even had the urge to get married and have children, but when he thought about losing his freedom by starting a family, he instantly came to his senses.

Children are debts, and there is no benefit in having a family. Forget it, he should continue to be a carefree and lonely old man!

Then again, it's not very realistic to take these two girls as apprentices. After all, their father can't leave the two children, and it's impossible for me to stay here for long.

But he couldn't bear to let the two girls stay in this mountain village for the rest of their lives. After much thought, he finally came up with a solution that would satisfy both parties.

"Xiaoxi and Xiaonan, I will be leaving early tomorrow morning. Your father's subsequent treatment will depend on you two sisters. You must remember the four words 'decisive and careful'. As a doctor, the most taboo is indecision and carelessness."

"I am very satisfied with your performance in the past three days. It would be a pity if you two only knew these few herbs and those moxibustion points but could not continue to improve your medical skills. I wonder if you two have any thoughts on studying medicine?"

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaonan's face was full of surprise. "Grandpa Zhang, are you planning to live in Huaihua Village forever?"

Li was also confused. It would be a great thing if her two daughters could study medicine, but there was no way Dr. Zhang would stay in Huaihua Village.

Doctor Zhang couldn't help laughing. Children's innocence is always so beautiful.

"Little girl, you don't want me to leave. Although I like you very much, I still have to go. What I mean is that your father should be able to go out in about half a year. By then, the amount of decoctions can be reduced by half, and the moxibustion can be gradually stopped. Just walk more every day for exercise."

"When the time comes, are you willing to become apprentices at Huichun Hall? But not with me. I will be leaving the county soon. Before that, I will make arrangements with the clinic, and you two can go there anytime."

The more Zhou Xiaoxi listened, the more confused she became. Something seemed to be wrong. Suddenly, she seemed to understand something, so she asked directly:

"Grandpa Zhang, aren't you the chief doctor of Huichuntang? Why can't you teach us? Even if you need to leave for something, you can't come back after half a year, or will you never come back?"

Doctor Zhang stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction. He was indeed a smart man who understood everything at once.

"I guess you have guessed that my last name is not Zhang. The real Doctor Zhang is the chief physician of the clinic."

"That day, I happened to see your second uncle in the clinic asking Doctor Zhang to come to the village to testify for you, but Doctor Zhang had to go on a long journey to treat a nobleman, and his apprentice had to accompany him, so he couldn't get away. I got excited on the spur of the moment, and after getting a general idea of ​​the situation from your second uncle, I followed him."

She knew it!

Their Shancang County is just a small county town, and there is only one doctor in Huichuntang. It is almost impossible to ask him to close the clinic for half a day to testify for an irrelevant person.

She had never expected the doctor who treated her father to come, so she was lucky enough to be able to invite the apprentice.

Thinking about it this way, she was still too confident at the time, and she had only a 30% chance of dispelling the rumor.

But she couldn't think of a better way, mainly because her father hadn't woken up yet, and even if the three of them could take him away, they had nowhere to go.

Second uncle is so abominable. He never explained the matter clearly from beginning to end, and he hasn't shown up in the past few days!

Since Doctor Zhang came here voluntarily, it is very likely that he did not receive any money at all! Then where did the money given by grandfather go? It is self-evident! Humph, after she confirms with Doctor Zhang, she will find a way to trick the second uncle!

"Grandpa Zhang, since your last name is not Zhang, what should we call you?"

Zhou Xiaonan didn’t think that deeply, this was what bothered her the most at the moment.

Zhou Xiaoxi immediately nodded in agreement. How could she have forgotten such an important thing? Could this doctor really be a hidden genius doctor?

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoxi's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Since the little girl is used to calling me that, you can continue to call me Grandpa Zhang. The name and surname are not important." 'Doctor Zhang' pretended to be profound and fooled the little girl.

It seems that the old man does not want to reveal his true identity. He is indeed a reclusive master.

Zhou Xiaoxi stopped her sister from asking a thousand questions and decisively changed the subject.

"Grandpa Zhang, I have thought carefully about your suggestion just now. My sister is obviously more talented than me in studying medicine, so let her go to the clinic as an apprentice in the future. Besides, Daddy won't be able to work in the fields for a few years, and the family will have no income, so we have to find a way to make some money. I have to stay at home to help my parents."
