In the main hall, Zhou Xiaozheng waved to his wife and the others, and introduced to the old man with white hair, Heyan: Uncle Dong, this is my wife, you know him, so I won't introduce more to my nephew.

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao, and a smile flashed in his eyes: This is a pair of incompetent children from my nephew's family. Xiao Wu, Jiaojiao, this is the old man Dong Cheng and Dong that your grandma Song mentioned last time.

Zhang Guoqing immediately moved forward and saluted: Grandpa Dong, I'm glad to see you grow old. I'm Zhang Guoqing, and you can always call me by my nickname, Xiaowu.

Grandpa Dong, I'm Zhou Jiao. I've never seen you grow old, please forgive me for being rude just now.

The white-haired, crane-faced old man Dong Chengdong looked at the young couple in front of him, smiled and shook his hands, I can't talk about impoliteness. On the contrary, I, an old man, drank a lot of good tea and ate a lot of good things for you young couple. It would be really rude if you haven't returned the salute.

Hearing this, Zhou Jiao glanced at the other party with a slight smile: You are too polite, those things are nothing, but the younger generation respects you.

Good boy, your grandpa will be very happy if he sees you... After finishing speaking, Mr. Dong immediately put away the sadness in his tone and smiled, Son, learn medicine well. The old man will tell you a secret. Your grandpa is proficient in everything. , only one weakness.

Zhou Jiao understood in her heart, and she waited for the next sentence with an expression of great interest on her face.

Brother Jinyu, hahaha... When it comes to medical skills, he can frighten doctors, but except for those with obvious characteristics of ginseng, he can't tell the rest of the herbs. That's not all.

One year, I was eight years old and he was ten years old. A few of our friends went for an outing together. At that time, a group of people were the children of the rich and powerful, and they didn't know anything about farming...

Dr. Hu beside him fainted upon hearing the words, if this granddaughter follows her father, this apprentice will not be accepted in vain. He soon came to his senses. If he did not make a mistake in his investigation, the child had gathered a lot of medicine for that remote village.

Doctor Hu waited for Elder Dong to finish talking about the past, then secretly rolled his eyes, cleared his throat, and reminded them that this is his own apprenticeship, not to reminisce about the old days.

Elder Dong smiled and said, Okay, I know you're impatient. Your apprentice can't escape.

Following his words, Dr. Hu restrained his expression, changed his appearance, looked at the three nephews below, and said solemnly: Start.

As soon as the words fell, the three middle-aged people who had been silent all the time stood up quickly.

A middle-aged man took out an incense burner and other things from a rattan box that he carried with him, and placed them on the incense table. The person next to him also took out a pair of portrait embroidery from a wooden box above the incense table, and hung the embroidery high on the north side with the help of the remaining middle-aged man.

After cleaning his hands, Dr. Hu took three sticks of incense, lit them and inserted them into the censer. He performed the Jishou ceremony, and began to whisper to the ancestors and masters that he would accept disciples and pass them on.

When Mr. Ma came in, he had already seen Master Hu sitting on the special seat next to him. After he motioned to the child in his arms to silence, he put down peace.

As for the ancient ceremony, even if Zhou Jiao hadn't experienced it before, she understood the process. Soon she took a few steps forward and knelt in front of Dr. Hu, listening to Mr. Dong, who was acting as the master of ceremonies, begin to introduce himself.

At this moment, Zhou Jiao understood why Mr. Dong was the master of ceremonies. This old man knows his family's situation too well. According to her father, it was this old man who gave her grandfather a lot of help when the Zhou family was down and down.

The relationship between these two people is like Zhang Guoqing and Yi Jiefang now. It's a pity that this old man Dong died with his father, and his brothers were at odds, so he was soon driven out of the rented house.

Mr. Dong, who was a rebellious young man back then, quickly failed to manage his business well, and was so poor that he almost drank the northwest wind. My elder brother can speak evil words for the sake of family wealth, let alone the clansmen.

In a rage, Mr. Dong sold the last small yard, and resolutely ran to the south to find his good brother Zhou Jinyu. It's a pity that her grandfather was already in an accident at that time, and her grandmother also hid her traces for her father.

By chance, Mr. Dong finally joined our army, and now he has become a lieutenant general. Logically speaking, he should not be in the capital now.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jiao calmed down when she heard Mr. Dong's introduction was over, and took the two gift boxes from Zhang Guoqing and presented them with both hands.

At this moment, Dr. Hu couldn't hold back the joy in his heart anymore, he quickly took it and put it aside, staring at the red post Zhang Guoqing handed to Zhou Jiao.

Zhou Jiao pursed her lips and smiled, and after receiving it, she raised her hands over her head and presented it to Dr. Hu, and knelt down to make her first salute (kowtow).

Dr. Hu glanced proudly at Mr. Dong and Mr. Ma, My dear apprentice, don't be so stubborn, just make up your mind. Get up quickly.

After Zhou Jiao finished drinking, she stood up and took a bowl of tea from the middle-aged man beside her, and raised her hands high to offer it to Dr. Hu: Master, please accept this cup of tea from my apprentice.

Dr. Hu lifted the lid with a smile on his face, took a big sip and put it down, then dragged out a large package from behind the chair. Look at his posture, there are not only many things in it, but also very heavy.

Good apprentice, these are some things specially prepared for you by the teacher. I will look at them when I get back. Doctor Hu pushed the things to Zhang Guoqing vigorously.

Come on, both of us, master and apprentice, bow deeply to the patriarch three times.

A middle-aged man on the side reminded softly: Master, the house rules.

Dr. Hu paused, shook his head quickly, and pointed to Zhang Guoqing: I've already written it down for your junior sister. She's heavy now, so let's finish it soon.

After the ceremony, Dr. Hu recruited three middle-aged men to come over, pointed at them and introduced them to Zhou Jiao: This is Zhu Ling, the eldest disciple of your master uncle, and he is now in the Military General Academy.

This is Bai Cangzhu, the eldest disciple of your second senior uncle. He is currently in the health department.

This is Dong Zhichao, the third disciple of your master uncle, a boy from Mr. Dong's family. He is currently in the city hospital.

Zhou Jiao shouted according to the order of his master's introduction: Eldest senior brother, second senior brother, third senior brother, hello. Please take care of me in the future.

Master Hu proudly boasted: Look, I have recruited a smart apprentice, right? She can guess your ranking without me having to tell you.

The third disciple Dong Zhichao can't laugh or cry, your introduction has been in order, okay? This uncle is like an old naughty boy, he can only echo: Uncle, you have a good eye. I wrote to other senior brothers a few years ago, and they were overjoyed when they found out that there was a little junior sister.

You have to take care of your little junior sister more in the future, don't let people bully you.

Uncle, don't worry.

Uncle, junior sister is younger than my family Xiaoxia, I will keep an eye on it without your orders.

Zhu Ling of the General Military Academy listened to the conversation between his uncle and his juniors, and wiped the sweat from his palms. These few didn't even look at who was sitting on it, and dared to make a promise.

Little junior sister is the baby of the Zhou family, it is said that she has registered on it, who would dare to bully her without looking long. Who didn't remember that the demon king next to him demolished the doors of the general hospital?

Boss?

Zhu Ling stood up right away: Master Uncle, don't worry. I'll take care of any orders my Junior Sister has.

Dr. Hu nodded in satisfaction, Then hurry up and give your junior sister a gift.

Mr. Ma couldn't help laughing anymore, and pointed at him: Okay, you can do it.

If you can't do it, you have to do it. How many gifts have I given you disciples and grandchildren of old men for so many years? It's a big loss. I'm just such a disciple.

When everyone heard the words, they knew that this was a joke between old buddies, and burst out laughing.

Stopping his smile, Mr. Ma first took out a wooden box and handed it to Zhou Jiao: Take it quickly, your master will be in debt after it's too late.

Senior Ma, I have already received the gift.

Ma Lao forcibly put it on the package in front of Zhang Guoqing, and said with a smile, No, it's a meeting gift.

Soon Mr. Dong also took out a square box and handed it to Zhou Jiao carefully: Little girl, this is considered to be returned to the original owner.

Zhou Jiao glanced at him in surprise, then at her father.

This is the inkstone that your grandfather gave me back then. It was lost before, but it was returned to me later. Unfortunately, it was damaged. I heard old man Hu said that he accepted you as an apprentice. I thought there was no better gift than this.

Zhou Jiao glanced at him gratefully, and took it with both hands. She didn't refuse. On occasions like today, there is a saying that the elders bestow it, which cannot be refused.

Afterwards, the brothers who represented the two uncles gave gifts one after another, as well as the gifts they gave. Zhou Jiao didn't open the box during the whole process, and planned to wait until she got back to find a chance to return a gift.
