Zhu Beishan took out all the money he had and asked everyone present to drink a cup of brown sugar water as a thank you. Zhu Qingde also took out a pulse diagnosis instrument from his backpack and handed it to Zhu Beishan:
"Son, this is the pulse diagnosis device of our Zhu family. It uses a whole piece of warm jade and is wrapped in cotton cloth with cotton wool. You can keep it."
"I don't want it, father. I will follow you to learn and take care of your daily life. I don't want anything. I just want to enjoy the happiness of family life."
Zhu Qingde nodded. Anyway, when he died, these things would belong to Zhu Beishan. It didn't matter whether he gave them now or later.
The two people began to communicate, and time passed quickly. Before they knew it, the train had arrived at the station. Seeing that everyone had picked up their luggage, they woke up from their dream and started to get busy.
Zhu Beishan saw that Zhu Qingde only had a simple suitcase, a backpack, and worn-out shoes with exposed toes, and he couldn't help but feel distressed:
"Father, after we settle down, I will go with you to buy two sets of clothes, two pairs of shoes, and some clothes for the winter. I heard that the winter here is very cold."
"Well, I have some money on me, but I lack the necessary notes. I'll do it once I get them."
Zhu Beishan nodded. At worst, he could find a black market and use the money to buy some tickets. No matter what, he would have to give his father new clothes and shoes.
Zhu Beishan carried his luggage and followed Zhu Qingde out of the car, looking around at a loss. He had never seen Shen Sanleng and didn't know whether he had sent anyone to pick them up.
Shen Sanleng, Cheng Qiao and Shen Ying have been spending the past two days at the train station. Every day, someone comes here by train and they are arranged to stay in the military district guesthouse.
The person to be taken on this time is a powerful one. Maybe he is not as famous as Ye Jun and Shen Sanleng, but whether in terms of family background or medical skills, he is considered a leader in this industry.
"Qingde, here."
When Shen Sanleng saw Zhu Qingde getting off the train, he was stunned for a moment before raising his hand and quickly running towards him. Looking at Zhu Qingde, who was dark-skinned, thin, with gray hair, and wearing tattered clothes and shoes, Shen Sanleng felt very uncomfortable.
At that time, he also followed his old father to the Zhu's Pharmacy in Shanghai. Zhu Qingde was still young at that time. He wore a melon-shaped hat and a royal blue brocade robe. He had red lips and white teeth, and his skin was white and tender.
Who would have thought that after not seeing him for so many years, his family had completely fallen into ruin and he had become such a miserable state. Zhu Qingde was one generation younger than him, but now he looked older than him, which was enough to prove that he had been living a very unhappy life these days.
"Uncle Shen, thank you for your invitation."
"No, I'm glad you're here. Let me introduce myself to you, my student..."
"Uncle Shen, no need to introduce ourselves. We know each other. Cheng Qiao, we meet again. I haven't thanked you properly yet. If it weren't for you, I... Alas."
Before Shen Sanleng could finish his words, a smile appeared on Zhu Qingde's face. He saw the legendary girl in Xiangyang Village again.
He went secretly hunting in the mountains because he was extremely hungry. However, he didn't know how to hunt and always came back empty-handed.
Later, he met Cheng Qiao. Cheng Qiao didn't talk to him, but she always left her prey on the path he had to pass. After a few times, Zhu Qingde became very grateful to this little girl.
Later, when he heard that she was accepted as Ye Jun's apprentice, he sincerely wished her well and wanted to send her something to express his gratitude. However, Yuan Mengzhi was unwilling to do so and threatened that if he dared to send anything to Cheng Qiao, she would report him.
Zhu Qingde understood Yuan Mengzhi very well. She went from being a high-ranking capitalist lady to being incestuous with a bad element, and from being a willful lady who had everything she wanted to being a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat.
She could never accept the gap between them, not to mention that Cheng Qiao was prettier than her and lived a much better life than her. This indirectly turned Cheng Qiao into her imaginary enemy. Fortunately, Cheng Qiao didn't know it.
"Uncle De, this is what I should do. Please don't take it to heart, or I will be embarrassed. And you can chat with my teacher first. I will go to greet other teachers."
"Why… "
Shen Sanleng finally understood why Zhu Qingde was able to survive. Such a pampered young man, with medicinal herbs in his eyes and mind, how could he have the skills to survive.
It turned out that he was sent to Cheng Qiao's village. It must be God's will that such a noble young man from a family of traditional Chinese medicine was saved by the unknown Cheng Qiao.
"Come on, I have arranged a temporary place for you to stay. Get familiar with the environment here first. After the winter is over, we can officially start school."
Shen Sanleng laughed loudly, took Zhu Qingde's hand and walked out, pointing at a small van that looked a little shabby at the entrance of the train station. That was their car.
The little troublemaker sat in the small van, proudly looking at the people coming out of the train station. Several people had arrived in the past two days. I heard that they were all newly recruited teachers of the school.
The school has been half renovated, and teachers and students now have places to study and work, so Captain Qin gave him the task of picking up and dropping off these teachers over the past two days.
When the teachers saw how polite he was and learned that his name was Little Troublemaker, they all laughed at the same time. Just by looking at the name, they knew how naughty he was when he was a child.
They also hoped that he would study hard with Cheng Qiao and others and become a useful person to the society in the future. He was very unhappy to hear this because his second sister-in-law said that what he was doing now was useful to the society.
But my second sister-in-law seemed to be planning a bigger plan. She said she wanted to build staff dormitories, student dormitories, canteens, libraries, laboratories, etc. It would be too late once the number of people in the school really increased.
The little troublemaker was shocked when he heard this. How much money would it cost to build so many houses? His family had already emptied out all their savings just to build a big house. Otherwise, his father wouldn't have to be so anxious to make money.
But the strange thing is that he believed without any pressure that Cheng Qiao could do it. Apart from other things, the originally lifeless and abandoned school has now become a popular place, and everyone is asking what this school is doing.
The car is a seven-seater, and excluding the little troublemaker, it can only accommodate six people. However, there are more than a dozen people coming this time. Shen Ying and Cheng Qiao said that they would stay with some teachers and let the little troublemaker run a few more times.
The little troublemaker nodded repeatedly, turned the key, and the car rushed out quickly. In less than half an hour, he had already taken the person to the military district guesthouse.
They went back and forth several times, and when everyone was present, Zhu Qingde and others immediately expressed their desire to take a look at the place where they would work and live in the future.
But when they followed Cheng Qiao to the so-called Liangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and walked to the door, the scene before them surprised them.
