afternoon.
Mark has no class.
He secretly speculated in stocks in his office and completed the transaction quickly.
He took out a Chinese medicine book and was about to read it when the phone rang.
"Hey, Xiaomi, why did you remember to call me?" Mark smiled.
"Second uncle, you forgot that I want to introduce you to Chinese medicine."
"I didn't forget. I'm reading a medical book and waiting for you to contact me."
The two chatted and laughed.
"Second uncle, are you free this afternoon? Shall I take you to see Grandpa Zhang?" Wang Xiaomi asked.
"When you have time, tell me a place and I'll go find you." Mark smiled.
"Then come back in an hour... I'll be waiting for you at the Fugui Teahouse next door." Wang Xiaomi smiled.
"good."
...
Rich Tea House.
"Second uncle, I'm here." Wang Xiaomi waved hurriedly.
The teahouse was a quiet place, and her voice attracted a lot of people's attention. Fortunately, she is a beauty and no one cares about her.
"Keep your voice down, everyone is not talking much, they are all looking at you." Mark hurriedly walked over and whispered.
"Oops, I forgot just now. Second uncle, let me take you to Grandpa Zhang's house first. He is an old Chinese medicine doctor. He usually treats people at home. His medical skills are very good." Wang Xiaomi leaned into Mark's ear and exhaled like Lan, whispered.
"Okay, let's go." Mark smiled.
"Second uncle, Grandpa Zhang's house is a large courtyard house. All the houses in it belong to their family. Now they have been turned into wards."
"It's comfortable to live in the big courtyard. Does he have many family members?"
"Not much. Grandpa Zhang's family members have all gone abroad, but he doesn't want to go out. He has been staying at home to treat people."
"Should we buy something? Isn't it appropriate to go empty-handed like this?"
"Just buy some fruit. Grandpa Zhang is a nice person and doesn't like receiving gifts."
"Okay. How do you like the beauty salon?"
"I checked a lot last night and plan to interview a few for part-time jobs later."
"Very good. Xiaomi, I'm optimistic about you. Come on, you will be a strong white-collar woman in the future."
"Haha, thank you, second uncle. By the way, second uncle, have you reconciled with second aunt?"
"No."
"Why don't you reconcile? You still have two children. You can't divorce like this even for the sake of the children, right? It's not good for children who grow up in a single-parent family."
"I don't want this either. But the two of us have different personalities. If we continue to get along, it will do more harm to the children."
"That's it, second uncle, then you have to find a good stepmother and don't let the two children be bullied."
"You're right. It's just that it's hard to find a stepmother."
"Second uncle, you are so handsome, so many aunts must like you."
...
The two of them walked along an alley while chatting and laughing.
After a while.
Carrying a lot of fruit, they walked to a courtyard with three entrances and three exits.
"This door is well decorated." Mark said in surprise.
An antique door appeared in front of Mark. There was a pair of couplets hanging on both sides of the door. The first couplet: We help each other in the same boat and only hope that people will be less sick. The second couplet: Harmony and benevolence do not worry about the dust caused by medicine.
"Yes, second uncle, this grandpa is rich. I heard that the decoration cost a lot of money." Wang Xiaomi said in a low voice.
"Doctors are all rich, and patients are rushing to give money." Mark laughed.
The door was open and we walked into the courtyard.
There are many patients lining up quietly inside.
An old doctor with a ruddy face and gray beard and hair was sitting in the lobby of the east room, treating patients.
"Second uncle, there are a lot of people, let's wait a moment." Wang Xiaomi whispered.
"good."
The two of them found a stone bench in the yard and sat down. Wang Xiaomi found the familiar teapot and made a pot of tea.
"Xiaomi, are you familiar with this place?" Mark asked.
"Yes, I lived near here when I was a child. Our family rented a house. Grandpa Zhang often took care of our family. Later, although my mother and I bought the house and moved away, we often came to visit Grandpa Zhang." Wang Xiaomi said.
"Pretty good." Mark smiled.
"Yes, Grandpa Zhang is doing well. I heard from my mother that when my father passed away, it was Grandpa Zhang who came forward to help with the funeral arrangements." Wang Xiaomi said.
Wang Xiaomi recalled what happened when she was a child.
Most of them are children without fathers and have suffered a lot.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The patients gradually left, and soon the time set by Dr. Zhang was approaching, and no more patients came later.
"Xiaomi, when did you come?" A kind voice sounded. Doctor Zhang has already walked to the yard.
"Grandpa Zhang, I've been here for an hour." Wang Xiaomi stood up hurriedly and said. She was busy chatting with Mark just now and didn't notice that the patient was gone.
"It's been an hour? Are you okay?" Doctor Zhang asked.
"Grandpa Zhang, this is my second uncle. He wants to learn Chinese medicine, so I will bring him here to see if you have time to teach him." Wang Xiaomi said hurriedly.
"Your second uncle? Why haven't I heard of it?" Doctor Zhang frowned.
"Oh, Grandpa Zhang, it's not my second uncle, it's..." Wang Xiaomi recounted the story of how she met Mark.
"So that's it. This young man is quite good, and he dares to meddle in other people's business." Doctor Zhang said with a smile. In his eyes, Mark, who is forty, is also a young man.
"Hello, Dr. Zhang. My name is Mark. I'm sorry for interrupting you." Mark said politely.
"It doesn't matter. Since you have helped Xiaomi, let me help you too. You can study with me for three months. If there is no progress after three months, you can give up. After all, Chinese medicine is profound and profound, and it is not easy to learn." Doctor Zhang smiled.
"It's only been three months, Grandpa Zhang. You have to teach my second uncle for at least a year." Wang Xiaomi said anxiously.
"Haha, your second uncle is forty. Three months is about the same as one year. If he wants to succeed in his studies, it depends on whether he is willing to work hard." Doctor Zhang said with a smile.
"My second uncle is very smart, he will definitely learn it." Wang Xiaomi said anxiously.
"It's useless to be smart when learning Chinese medicine. You need perseverance and perseverance," Dr. Zhang said.
"My second uncle is very perseverant and has great perseverance."
...
"You should take these books first, and then come to me after you have memorized them." Doctor Zhang said. He had already started teaching, and the rest was up to Mark.
"Okay, Doctor Zhang." Mark said respectfully. He originally wanted to become a disciple, but was stopped by Dr. Zhang. He understood that he was not qualified to become a disciple now.
"Grandpa Zhang, would you like to have dinner with us?" Wang Xiaomi said coquettishly, holding Doctor Zhang's arm.
"I'm not going, you young people should go." Doctor Zhang said with a smile.
Waving goodbye, Mark and Wang Xiaomi walked along the alley and walked out.
"Xiaomi, your Grandpa Zhang is a nice person. As soon as we met, he asked me to memorize medical books. This is really teaching me with your heart." Mark said with a smile.
"Second uncle, these books are too thick, can you memorize them?" Wang Xiaomi asked worriedly.
"Yes, I will definitely be able to memorize it." Mark said confidently. He has 15 spirit points and his memory is beyond ordinary people, so he can definitely do it. Moreover, he can also spend some money to increase his spirit, and increase it to 20, or even more. Endorsement is nothing to him.
"Second uncle, I believe you can do it." Wang Xiaomi encouraged.
"Xiaomi, come on, too." Mark encouraged.
