Nongmen eldest sister: Farming and opening shops

Chapter 52 Apprenticeship
When Dr. Zhao was young, he also wandered outside. It was at that time that he learned his medical skills outside. After returning to the village, he never went out again. It has been down for decades.

This year he is already in his sixties, and there are not many people in the village who live as long as he does.

He has never been married in his life, and he has no children, but there are quite a few relatives of Zhao's relatives, nephews and grandchildren, and those with the surname Zhao in the village are all relatives.

But he doesn't care about passing on the family line and so on. In short, he is a different kind of person in the village, and because of this, Lin Qinghe feels that it doesn't seem like a big deal for him to accept a female apprentice.

And he was indeed very forthright, so he accepted Lin Qingmiao as his apprentice, and even solemnly invited the village chief, as well as brothers and nephews who were closer to him to watch the ceremony.

Lin Qinghe didn't know what needed to be prepared for the apprenticeship ceremony, but with so many people in the village, they figured it out after asking casually, and prepared all the gifts very quickly.

When Lin Qinghe led his younger sister into the gate of Dr. Zhao's house on the day of apprenticeship, he saw a room full of people talking and laughing, and the scene was quite lively.

The two sisters were taken aback. Although they had fully prepared for the apprenticeship ceremony, they did not expect such a big battle.

While the sisters were astonished, all the guests present also showed expressions of astonishment. Obviously, they did not expect that the recruitment of apprentices with such a great fanfare would be to accept a female apprentice!
This discovery made them a little stunned.

Lin Qinghe was just startled, but soon calmed down, handed the gift she brought to her, reached out and pushed her gently, and stepped aside.

There were also acquaintances from the village present, so Lin Qingmiao was not afraid. She took a few steps forward, stood still in front of Dr. Zhao, and then knelt down.

Before she could speak, she was interrupted by a voice next to her: "Uncle, this is not right, why is it a girl?"

Hearing this, Lin Qingmiao raised her eyes and looked over, feeling rather unconvinced, what's wrong with the girl, she also has a name, okay, it's just that it's not her turn to speak on this occasion, she just puffed her cheeks slightly.

"It doesn't matter if the child is smart, it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, I'll take it as my apprentice if I like it. I can't teach it for a few years at my age, so I'm not afraid of delaying the child." Dr. Zhao said with a chuckle.

"But how can a girl be a doctor? No one would invite a female doctor to see a doctor!"

"The matter of asking a doctor to see a doctor depends entirely on personal preferences. If you don't like her, you just don't ask her to see a doctor in the future. As for whether anyone is willing to ask her to see a doctor, you have nothing to do with it."

As soon as he said this, he immediately blocked the nephew in the next room.

"Uncle, that's not what you said. She is a girl, what can she learn? Besides, taking a female apprentice will also affect your old reputation. What does it look like when it spreads?" the older Zhao Wang's family , Seeing that my little cousin was dismissed back, I couldn't help but speak.

"That's right, uncle, if you really want to take in apprentices, look at the children of our family, they are also very clever, the most important thing is boys, they are much better than girls."

Lin Qinghe stood aside and listened to their arguments, and glanced at each one. He was the only one in Dr. Zhao's house, and the rest of the people present, even the closest ones, were all separated by a room. It's not like they never sent their children there before. The idea of ​​being an apprentice is just that Dr. Zhao doesn't like it.

What's more, these people have other ideas. Dr. Zhao has no descendants, but he has been a doctor all his life, and he has saved some things. Not to mention other things, just a few acres of land at home is also very enviable. The boy is an apprentice, and with this relationship, these things will naturally belong to them after a hundred years, right?

Even she could understand such a straightforward thought, not to mention the shrewd Dr. Zhao, who probably knew it already, so one of his apprentices confiscated it.

Lin Qingmiao was unconvinced, why should a boy be stronger than a girl? Where is the strength?

But on this occasion, if the master didn't speak, she couldn't speak indiscriminately. She just held her breath in her heart, glanced at the person who said this just now, and thought about whether to make gestures with his boy afterwards.

"I don't care about the other children, but I like Qing Miao, who is very intelligent, and is not comparable to ordinary children." Dr. Zhao glanced at Lin Qingmiao's cheeks puffed up with anger, and couldn't help laughing.

When Lin Qingmiao heard that this was a compliment to her, she immediately grinned happily, seeing so many people present, her master had the most insight.

When the village chief saw this group of people making a fuss, he ignored it at first, but after Dr. Zhao spoke, he cleared his throat and said, "Today is a big day for brother Qinghe to accept apprentices, and you juniors are so unruly." If you dare to speak, you will be kicked out."

As soon as his words fell, no one said anything else. The prestige of the village head is extremely high in the village. He has already spoken. If there are still people who don't listen, they are provoking the authority of the village head.

No one made trouble anymore, and Lin Qingmiao's apprenticeship ceremony went smoothly. After kowtowing three times, offering tea, and presenting the apprenticeship ceremony, the ceremony was completed. From then on, Lin Qingmiao was Zhao Qing and Zhao Qingmiao. The doctor's apprentice.

After the ceremony was completed, the village head looked at the child in front of him and said cheerfully, "Qing Miao, your master never thought of accepting an apprentice before, but unexpectedly he accepted you. You must learn from your master in the future!"

These words can be described as earnest.

There is a doctor in the village, which is much more convenient for everyone's life. Let's just say that there is a headache, and it will be fine if you come here and prescribe some medicine. It saves the effort of running to the county. Who else's child has an emergency in the middle of the night? Yes, coming to see him can also make people feel at ease.

In short, as the village chief, he can best understand the benefits of having a doctor in the village, but Zhao Qinghe is getting older and has been confiscating his apprentices. There is also a doctor in the village who took over.

"Village chief, don't worry, I will study hard with my master, and I will never be lazy." Since she has made up her mind to study medicine, she will definitely study hard, of course.

"Well, he's an ambitious kid." The village chief praised him, obviously thinking that such a young kid answered decently, which is indeed different from other village boys, so it's no wonder that Zhao Qinghe took a fancy to him.

Seeing the village head complimenting his little apprentice, Dr. Zhao couldn't help but smiled slightly with his beard drawn.

Their side was very happy, but the relatives surnamed Zhao sitting on the side all looked a little unsightly, and some of them even gave Lin Qingmiao a hard look from time to time. Don't worry, she only thinks that these people are jealous of her, and with the master around, they can only stare a few times, so they dare to move her a finger?
