Hu Dalang was running in the front yard and the back yard, seeing that Zhou Man was finally free after seeing the patient, he immediately pulled Hu Xiaomei to her and knelt down.
Only after Zhou Man washed his hands, he was surprised when he saw the situation, he quickly asked Xibing to help him up, and asked, "What is this for?"
Hu Dalang knelt down and refused to get up, "Sir, you can take my sister as an apprentice, or a maid, we are willing to sign..."
He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm willing to sign a 20-year contract, as long as she learns some skills by your side."
When Qian Xiaoyang, who was about to take the water basin down, heard it, he immediately stood beside Zhou Man, fearing that she would steal her job.
Sister Sijing said that not everyone can stay with Master Zhou at the medical office. She is the only one among so many long-term workers who can do it, so she must be obedient and not be squeezed away.
Zhou Man looked at him in surprise, then looked at Hu Xiaomei who was kneeling next to him, and seeing that she was still confused, he asked, "Did your father come to embarrass you again?"
Hu Dalang shook his head, "It's not him, it's what you said, a person must be able to support himself no matter where he goes."
Qian Xiaoyang immediately shouted: "This is what the adults taught me, you eavesdrop!"
Hu Dalang bowed his head in embarrassment, "I heard about it when I was moving medicinal materials in the front yard, so I remembered it, sorry."
Zhou Man laughed and said, "What's wrong with that? Everyone can listen to the truth. You can listen to it and have your own understanding. What a wonderful thing."
Qian Xiaoyang has a single-minded mind and is very simple. Although he has great strength, he doesn't show it when he is young, but when he grows up, he may suffer instead.
So Zhou Man hopes that she can learn more things after work, even if she can't learn medical skills, she can process some medicinal materials, which will be a skill in the future.
But she couldn't remember it, and after a few days of studying, she became irritable, so Zhou Man used these words to persuade her.
Unexpectedly, the master didn't listen to it, but Hu Dalang who was beside him remembered it in his heart.
Zhou Man asked Hu Xiaomei who was kneeling beside her, "What do you think?"
Hu Xiaomei, who was only nine years old, was more pure-minded. She said, "I will listen to my elder brother."
Zhou Man thought for a while, and seeing the expectation in Hu Dalang's eyes, he nodded and said, "Then stay and be an apprentice, but being an apprentice is not paid, and it's also hard work, and you need to do more work."
Hu Dalang immediately pulled his younger sister to kowtow, and said firmly: "Thank you, sir, she is not afraid of hard work, but you will have orders from your lord in the future, just ask her to do it."
Zhou Man asked Hu Dalang, "Do you want to be an apprentice?"
Hu Dalang hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and refused.
There is no income as an apprentice, but now his mother has to recuperate from illness, and he has younger brothers and sisters to support, obviously he can't be an apprentice, he has to support them.
Zhou Man smiled slightly, and asked Xibing to lead Hu Xiaomei down without forcing it.
This is their first apprentice in the medical department, and also Zhou Man's first apprentice, so the meaning is very different.
After waving them to retreat, she stood at the door and watched them leave with sparkling eyes. She couldn't help but clenched her fist and waved it in the air happily.
Ming Da and Bai Erlang looked straight when they came in, and couldn't help but pause.
Mingda asked, "What's so happy about it?"
Bai Erlang: "Are you cheating?"
Zhou Man: "Am I that kind of person?"
But she still couldn't hold back her joy, and said to them with a little excitement: "I just accepted an apprentice."
Bai Erlang and Mingda understood instantly, and gave a meaningful "oh".
Zhou Man: "... don't you have such expressions, Mr. Qian has already said that this is a better way for the development of the medical department to benefit both parties."
The medical department is seriously understaffed at present, and it is not easy to recruit doctors, but it costs a lot of money to hire a sitting doctor, and the medical department has to allocate funds, and the cost is getting higher and higher.
Mr. Qian saw that doctors from all over Qingzhou always came to Zhou Man to discuss medical skills, and some even came from other states, just to sit with Zhou Man and talk for less than half an hour.
And he listened for a while, saying it was a discussion, but basically they asked questions and Zhou Man answered them.
From this, we can see how good Zhou Man's medical skills are. Anyway, Mr. Qian urged Zhou Man to accept apprentices after hearing it a few times, and he was still facing these doctors who came to him.
In the words of Mr. Qian, "You are not stingy with knowledge, and you will teach whenever you ask for advice. You also want more doctors to improve their medical skills and benefit the people. In this case, why not recruit apprentices so that they can be by your side?" Learning medical skills also alleviates the shortage of medical staff and eases the pressure on money."
Zhou Man was persuaded, but she couldn't speak to these doctors. They were all sitting doctors, some even became famous, and they were older than her. How could she have the nerve to ask them to be apprentices
She couldn't speak. For the sake of her reputation, Mr. Qian also felt that she should not be allowed to speak up, so he was trying to find a way recently.
But she didn't expect that the first apprentice she accepted was Hu Xiaomei, who was only nine years old.
Mingda asked her, "What do you want to teach her? Medical skills?"
Zhou Man shook his head, "This is still too far away. Who studies medicine without starting with medicine? Since you are an apprentice, you have to learn more miscellaneous things. Let's learn medicine first."
She said: "In the end, even if you can't learn medical skills, you can handle medicinal materials, recognize medicines, and know the properties of medicines. This is a skill."
Don't their pharmacy students just study medicine
When Mr. Qian came back from outside, he heard that Mr. Zhou had accepted Hu Xiaomei as an apprentice as soon as he entered the door.
This incident was still very shocking in the medical office. From Xiao Kou to the doctors and patients seeking medical treatment in the medical office, they all looked at Hu Xiaomei enviously, wishing they could replace her with their own bodies.
Xiao Kou was particularly envious, and couldn't help but keep peeking at Hu Xiaomei when he was having dinner in the evening.
Seeing that Xibing's reaction was flat, she pulled her back and asked, "Sister Xibing, don't you envy Miss Hu?"
Xibing was puzzled, "What do I envy her for?"
Xiao Kou: "...she can learn medical skills from adults."
Xibing said, "I can do it too."
Xiao Kou: "...how about that? We are slaves, but she is an apprentice, a good citizen."
Xibing: "We were originally slaves."
Xiao Kou: "..." She didn't know what to say, but she didn't mean that.
Seeing that she was depressed, Xibing persuaded her, "People are different, she was originally a good citizen, I was originally a slave, and so are you, but the lady said that you can't change it by speaking out, but you can change it later. "
Xiao Kou: "Can I not be a maid in the future?"
"You just need to earn enough money to redeem yourself."
Xiao Kou opened his mouth, remembering something, and quickly asked her, "Sister Xibing, how much is your ransom money?"
"I don't know, I don't want to redeem myself," Xibing said proudly, raising her chin, "I want to be with my wife for the rest of my life."
Redemption for what
She looks so good-looking, it may not be easy to redeem her body, she might be snatched away, she might as well just follow the lady, how comfortable and happy.
