Medicine Elder smiled. "I know, don't worry. I will write the prescription. You are better at making the food, so you cook it."
Zhu Yanyi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she didn't have to diagnose blindly, it was fine. She nodded. "Okay. You write the prescription, and I will make the medicine food."
"Little Junior Sister," Gu Jingtian asked curiously, "When you were nursing Old Du, you called Master an old fox. Why do you not object now?"
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Gu Jingtian. "Because the boss is one of the people I admire."
"If there is one, there must be a second. Who is the second one?" Gu Jingtian teased her.
Zhu Yanyi giggled. "Actually, I admire Chinese soldiers the most. They protect our land and our people. When disasters happen, they are the first to go. Everyone has parents and lives. They have the right to live. But often, they choose to sacrifice themselves to save others. That is why I admire them. When I was little, I wanted to be a military doctor. But the rules are strict. They check your family background for three generations. My family is poor farmers, which is fine. But my father’s father is said to be in Hong Kong. No one knows if it is true. So my background is unclear. I might not pass the check. So I decided to be a regular doctor. I can reduce people’s pain. If there is a disaster, I can volunteer to help. That is enough."
Zhu Yanyi felt passionate. In her past life, she had this feeling too. But she could not help many people. Later, she made money and donated to schools. But she did not help personally. She always felt a little regret.
So now, she was excited. She realized she was truly living in these passionate times. Her eyes were bright and firm. She was more determined to be a doctor.
"Good child," Medicine Elder smiled with satisfaction. His little apprentice was truly devoted to medicine. "Do not forget your original intention. Study hard. Become an excellent healer in the future."
"Yes," Zhu Yanyi nodded. She would study hard. Not just medicine, but also drug research. She would study everything related to medicine.
Back in the practice chamber, Medicine Elder discussed the treatment plan for the three special patients with Gu Jingtian and Zhu Yanyi. In the evening, Medicine Elder took Zhu Yanyi to Old Zhan’s place. They had dinner there. Zhu Shun Yao and Cheng Baokun arrived at six o’clock.
After Zhu Shun Yao and Cheng Baokun arrived, Old Zhan took them into the study. Zhu Yanyi did not go in. She stayed outside and chatted with Zhang Haifeng.
"Little Zhang, thank you so much these days. Thank you for leaving your work to take my dad and others sightseeing."
