This kid hasn't had a full meal for several days. Whether in Changli Village or Changqing Village, he goes to bed hungry every night.
It was not easy to have a good meal, but of course I was full.
Jiang Fei ignored Tu Songjun's useless look and was discussing with Tang Shizhong.
"Mr. Tang, there's no need to make such a big deal, right?"
"I just want to become a disciple, can you just bear witness?"
This was what Jiang Fei wanted to discuss with Tang Shizhong. He couldn't speak at the dinner table just now. After all, he couldn't embarrass Mr. Tang in front of Ma Zhishan.
Now that there were no outsiders around, he just wanted to discuss it with Mr. Tang. If he made a big deal, it would be like putting himself on the fire, which would not be good.
No matter where you go from now on, won't you be under the sun?
If he really encountered a difficult condition and failed to cure the patient, it would be Mr. Tang's face that would be disgraced.
After all, everyone knows that they are Mr. Tang's young apprentice, so all the disrespectful remarks will be piled on Mr. Tang.
But if neither of them knew that they were Mr. Tang's disciples, then there would be no such problem of embarrassing Mr. Tang.
Of course, he was just making a metaphor, and it didn't mean that he would definitely embarrass Mr. Tang.
It's just too bad to make this apprenticeship ceremony known to everyone in the Chinese medicine community across the country.
There is no way to coordinate based on seniority alone. You must know that the Jingfang sect is a big sect. It can be said that apart from the typhoid sect and the febrile sect, it is the largest sect.
Moreover, the febrile sect and the Jingfang sect are both major sects that branched off from the typhoid fever sect. There are some kinships between the three sects, and they all have a seniority relationship.
Now that Jiang Fei has become a disciple of Tang Shizhong, he belongs to the second generation of Chinese medicine practitioners...
The seniority is so high. Jiang Fei was born in 1956, so it is normal for him to become a second-generation Chinese medicine practitioner.
There is an unwritten rule that domestic Chinese medicine practitioners are based on people born around 1900. All Chinese medicine masters born around this time are considered the first generation of Chinese medicine masters.
Therefore, Tang Shizhong, including his senior brother Hu Xishu, were also the first generation of traditional Chinese medicine masters.
There are also Qin Bomo, Zhu Liangchun, Lu Zhizheng, and Ji Desheng, all of whom belong to the first generation of traditional Chinese medicine masters.
So Jiang Fei, who took Tang Shizhong as his teacher, logically became the second generation master of traditional Chinese medicine, and Tu Songjun just let nature take its course and became the third generation master of traditional Chinese medicine.
Jiang Fei is at least twenty or thirty years, even thirty or forty years younger than the second generation masters of traditional Chinese medicine at the same time.
Shui Changlu, Tang Shizhong's eldest disciple, was the second generation master of traditional Chinese medicine, and his son-in-law and second disciple Weng Hai was also the second generation.
So you can imagine how much controversy it would cause if Jiang Fei traveled across the country and met second-generation Chinese medicine doctors who were in their forties, fifties or even fifties and sixties.
Especially for those gray-haired old men to call themselves junior brother or even senior uncle, how embarrassing is it?
This is why Jiang Fei does not want Tang Shizhong to carry out special measures.
"Huh? You really don't want to make a big deal?"
Tang Shizhong smelled of alcohol all over his body, but he was not drunk. After all, he and Ma Zhishan were both very old, and one or two ounces of wine was considered a lot.
"Mr. Tang, I really don't want to be exposed to the sun. It's very hot."
Jiang Fei smiled bitterly and nodded, responding to Tang Shizhong.
His words can be said to be very euphemistic and not said directly.
But when Tang Shizhong heard this, he immediately understood the meaning.
Jiang Fei was afraid of being under huge pressure. After all, Tang Shizhong's status was too high, and this was the case in the entire Chinese medicine community.
To be Tang Shizhong's apprentice, it would be fine if he were forty or fifty years old, but he is only twenty-two years old. Isn't this nonsense...
If anyone knew about it, they would probably become the public enemy of traditional Chinese medicine.
What he wants to do in this life is to unite the Chinese medicine community instead of becoming a public enemy.
"Okay, I just thought it was simple."
Tang Shizhong stroked his beard and looked at Jiang Fei. After being silent for a while, he suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"That's right. If you are held too high, you will indeed be under a lot of pressure."
"Besides, when I closed Shui Changlu, I didn't do anything special. If I came to you to do something special, Shui Changlu might have something in mind."
"Then let's do this. We'll just inform some of our colleagues in the province and witness it."
"This way I won't offend you, and it won't appear to be a maverick. It's also in line with my identity."
Tang Shizhong was still a considerate teacher. After considering Jiang Fei's behalf, he finally took three steps back.
Originally, he planned to notify all the masters of traditional Chinese medicine in the country who had friendship with him.
Now he has taken three steps back, not calling it the whole country, nor the Northeast region, but only the province.
After Jiang Fei saw that Tang Shizhong had changed his mind, a smile finally appeared on his face and he felt relieved.
"belch!"
"belch!"
Tu Songjun kept burping next to him, almost every few steps he took.
Jiang Fei frowned and looked at him, then suddenly slapped Tu Songjun in the face.
With a snap, Jiang Fei's hand slapped Tu Songjun's face. The force was not very strong, but it frightened Tu Songjun so much that he broke into a cold sweat.
The main reason is that such a sudden slap from a hand would scare everyone.
"Teacher, you..."
Tu Songjun covered his face and stared at Jiang Fei in confusion and grievance.
Jiang Fei rubbed his palms and smiled at Tu Songjun: "Are you still hiccupping?"
"Huh?" Tu Songjun was startled, and then he realized that he didn't hiccup anymore.
The hiccups just now made him feel very uncomfortable. The more he hiccups, the more sore his diaphragm becomes.
"What's going on?"
Tu Songjun asked Jiang Fei ecstatically, if the teacher just slapped him in the mouth, he would stop hiccupping?
Do you want to stop hiccups and just slap your mouth?
"It's nothing, I'm just trying to make you happy."
"Let's go."
Jiang Fei didn't explain much and continued walking to the hospital.
There is nothing to explain this kind of thing. It is nothing more than common people’s experience and has nothing to do with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.
As long as the person who hiccups is suddenly startled, he will stop hiccuping very accurately.
In more than 20 minutes, Jiang Fei and the others returned to Jiang County People's Hospital.
"Mr. Tang, do you want to return to the provincial capital early?"
After Jiang Fei entered the courtyard, he thought of this question and asked.
"Yes, I have been toiling in Jiang County for seven or eight days. It's time to go back."
"Especially the preparation for your apprenticeship ceremony. It was originally supposed to be half a month in advance."
"But since we don't want to do anything special, we can just prepare it for three to five days."
Tang Shizhong was ready to return home. Among other things, his potted flowers needed watering.
He couldn't trust his old lady to water the flowers, so he had to water them himself.
There is also his grandson, a twelve-year-old grandson, but his precious baby almost misses him to death.
In the last few days, he will also visit some traditional Chinese medicine masters in the province.
No matter what, if you want others to give you face and witness his apprenticeship ceremony, you must invite him personally.
You can't write a letter or make a phone call and people will just come to you, right?
"Are you going to the provincial capital with me now?" Tang Shizhong asked Jiang Fei casually.
Jiang Fei shook his head and said: "I originally planned to go to the province with you, but since the apprenticeship ceremony is still a few days away, I plan to take my wife back to my hometown first."
I have not returned to Anzhen or Dawa Village for more than three months.
After I take the college entrance examination, once I go to college, I won't have time to come back. I will probably only have time to go back and take a look during the Chinese New Year.
So I took advantage of this period of time to go back and see my parents, including taking care of matters related to the steamed buns Liu Xiangchuan, Blind Man Guo, and the waste collection station.
Before entering Beijing, everything must be handled in place.
In particular, we need to summarize how much money we have earned in the past six months or so.
"Okay, let's split up."
"Just go to the provincial capital on the 5th. Then you can go to the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to find your senior brother, or go to the Provincial Military Hospital to find Weng Hai."
"Thank you, Mr. Tang, for your understanding!" Seeing Tang Shizhong's understanding, Jiang Fei quickly clasped his fists in thanks.
He still hasn't changed his name to "teacher" because he can't be called "teacher" before becoming a disciple.
So Tu Songjun calls himself teacher every day, which is actually not in line with the rules.
Because Jiang Fei only verbally agreed to accept a disciple and did not hold a ceremony to accept a disciple.
Just after he became a disciple of Tang Shizhong, he accepted Tu Songjun during his apprenticeship ceremony.
