"Master's wife, don't bother. We are not outsiders. You can just eat whatever you want!" Qian Hongying stepped forward and took Tong Mei's arm and said softly.

Qian Hongying and the other five had been living with Zhang Yan for several months.

It was not until later that Zhang Fusheng and Zhang's mother came that they stopped coming to eat.

"Okay! That's up to you! Have you had dinner tonight? If not, I will prepare some more dishes for you!" Tong Mei said with a smile.

"Master's wife, we brought this to eat!" all the disciples said in unison.

"Okay, stop working, they are here to pay us New Year's greetings!

Come and sit down quickly, and let them hurry back after paying New Year greetings!" Zhang Yan smiled and waved to Tong Mei.

Hearing this, Tong Mei went to sit on Zhang Yan's right side.

"Master and Master, Happy New Year! I wish Master and Master to be young forever and be happy every day!" Zhao Shengli and other disciples lined up, knelt down in front of Zhang Yan and Tong Mei, and said in unison.

After saying that, he kowtowed to Zhang Yan and Tong Mei.

This is not a show by Zhang Yan, but a rule.

On the third and second birthdays, we should give gifts to our master and his wife. During the New Year and Master’s birthday, we need to kowtow to our master and his wife in a serious manner.

"Okay, okay! Everyone, get up! Master also wishes you to improve your skills!" Zhang Yan smiled and stretched out his hand to help Zhao Shengli and others get up.

"Get up quickly!" Tong Mei also helped her with a smile on her face.

Then he took out the red envelopes he had prepared long ago and distributed lucky money to all the disciples.

"Here, take it! This is the New Year's money given to you by Master and Mistress! I hope you can find your significant other soon!" Tong Mei handed out red envelopes to Zhang Yan's apprentices one by one.

This red envelope is a real big red envelope!

Inside every red envelope is a big black ten.

Da Hei Shi is his disciple, but even Little Carrot Tou and the others don't get this treatment.

After kowtowing, the disciples did not stay long. After saying a few words, they left.

After sending away all the disciples, Tong Mei looked at Zhang Yan and said with a smile: "Will you accept any more apprentices? If you do, I will have to kowtow in the yard when I come to pay you New Year's and birthday wishes."

"Take it! I'm going to imitate Confucius and acquire three thousand disciples first!" Zhang Yan said with a smile.

"You can do it! Don't go out and say this nonsense!" Tong Mei rolled her eyes at Zhang Yan.

"I know! I just want to tell you that I won't say it outside! There are some things that you can't say but can't do!" Zhang Yan said with a smile.

"It's time to eat!" Tong Mei took the son from Zhang Yan's arms and said to him.

The family just started to have dinner.

"After the Chinese New Year, our family's food will also need to be changed! We can no longer eat white flour steamed buns, let's change them all to two-pack noodles!" Zhang Yan explained to Zhang's mother during the meal.

"I'd say it should have been changed a long time ago. I eat white flour steamed buns every day. In the past, even at the Fifth Master's house, I couldn't bear to eat like this!" Mother Zhang said in agreement.

"What do you know, the meal at Fifth Master's house before liberation was not four dishes?" Zhang Fusheng said unconvinced.

········

The next day, Zhang Yan drove an ambulance to Red Star Hospital.

I just walked into the office and made myself a cup of tea.

There was a knock on the office door.

"Come in!" Zhang Yan shouted casually.

"Happy New Year, teacher!" A group of people poured into his office.

These people are all apprentices in his training class.

Yesterday, they were not qualified to visit Zhang Yan’s house to pay New Year’s greetings, so they could only come to the office to pay New Year’s greetings to Zhang Yan today.

“Happy New Year! I wish you will complete your studies as soon as possible and become a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner!

One day, I will be proud of you!" Zhang Yan encouraged him with a smile, then took out a stack of red envelopes from the drawer and gave them to them one by one.

Naturally, this red envelope is not as good as the disciple's, but there is still five yuan in a red envelope.

"Thank you, teacher!" Everyone thanked in unison.

"The best way to thank me is to seize the time to complete your studies and become a real Chinese medicine practitioner." Zhang Yan said with a smile.

"Teacher, we must study hard. With a teacher as great as you, it will be difficult for us to learn!"

"Co-author, you just don't work hard because I teach well? You are all waiting for me to feed knowledge into your mouth!" Zhang Yan scolded with a smile.

"Teacher, what you said is so right. When you lecture, it's like you are putting knowledge into our heads." One apprentice shouted excitedly.

After chatting for a few more words, all the apprentices said goodbye and left in a discerning manner.

Zhang Yan is not much older than them, only in his seventies or eighties, but when we are together, it really feels like two generations.

There is a lack of common language.

After seeing off his apprentice, Zhang Yan slowly drank tea while reading and studying.

However, people kept coming over to wish him New Year greetings all morning, making it impossible for Zhang Yan to calm down and read a book.

Zhang Yan would stop everyone who came to pay New Year's greetings. Whether it was true or false, he would chat with them and encourage them.

These people are from the administrative department and the logistics department. They were on vacation yesterday and are on duty today. Naturally, they want to pay New Year's greetings to the dean, Zhang Yan.

The whole morning passed like this.

After lunch, Zhang Yan returned to the office and had time to take a rest.

It was quiet in the afternoon and no one disturbed him anymore.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yan went downstairs and started checking the wards.

"Dean Zhang, can I be discharged from the hospital?" A patient asked quickly when he saw Zhang Yan.

"Let me show you!" Zhang Yan took his pulse and did a physical check.

"Congratulations, you can be discharged from the hospital! However, you still have to continue taking medicine after you go back!

Give him Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction with flavored Bai Kou Ren and Huoxiang for three qian each." After Zhang Yan first explained to the patient, he explained to Li Wenjuan who was following behind him.

"I understand, Master!" Li Wenjuan agreed.

During the ward rounds, several people wanted to be discharged.

After Zhang Yan's examination, everyone agreed to be discharged.

In fact, at this point, all patients except for a few patients can be discharged from the hospital. After returning, they only need to continue taking the decoction for a period of time.

As long as you control your emotions and don't be overjoyed or sad, there will basically be no recurrence.

Therefore, after Zhang Yan went through the ward rounds, whether they requested to be discharged or not, as long as they met the discharge standards, Zhang Yan arranged for them to be discharged.

Coincidentally, those who could not be discharged from the hospital had all undergone resection surgery before.

Because I underwent a subtotal gastrectomy, partial liver resection, or partial splenectomy, my roots were damaged.

Therefore, they need to stay in the hospital for a longer period of time until their body's shortcomings are replenished before they can be discharged.

I know that I have to live for such a long time because of the resection surgery.

Everyone regretted it.

Zhang Yan smiled and comforted them. If it hadn't been for surgical removal, they might not have persisted until now.
Chapter completed!
