Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

He Yuzhu was surprised by Wang Deming's arrival. Besides, he didn't recognize Wang Deming at first because he looked much older.

In recent years, as He Yuzhu's status and position have continued to improve, not to mention He Yuzhu's own physical fitness, under the care of He Yuzhu and Ma Hua, the physical fitness of his whole family is considered to be excellent among their peers.

Even the old lady was still in good health, apart from some common geriatric diseases and normal decline in body functions. In addition, the family members were somewhat reluctant to see a doctor, so He Yuzhu had less contact with Wang Deming in recent years.

But when I think about it carefully, the last time He Yuzhu visited him alone was only a few months ago. At that time, Wang Deming was still in good spirits. How come he has become like this now?

He Yuzhu also hurriedly helped Wang Demin to sit down and asked with concern:

"Lao Wang, what's wrong with you? Have you eaten?"

Wang Demin did not treat He Yuzhu as an outsider. He smiled and said, "Zhuzi, to be honest, I haven't eaten for a whole day. Please get me something to eat."

Ma Hua, who was standing by, heard this and stood up without saying anything.

"Mr. Wang, please wait a moment while I make you some noodles."

"Ma Hua, don't forget to add two eggs and then fry two dishes. I'll have a drink with Lao Wang..." He Yuzhu was worried and reminded him.

"Brother, I know."

"Zhu Zi, there's no need to go through so much trouble. A bowl of plain noodles will do."

"Old Wang, when you come to my house, don't be so polite. Every time I go to your place, I steal a lot of good things, and I never ask for money."

When Wang Demin heard this, he burst into tears.

He Yuzhu was also dumbfounded for a moment, thinking: "Could it be that I took too much advantage of him the last few times, and Lao Wang is feeling sorry for me? Logically, Lao Wang is not that kind of person."

The family member, Old Wang Demin, was crying his heart out at his old age and felt very uncomfortable. He also felt that it was a bit disrespectful to see such a respected old man at his most vulnerable side. So Lou Xiaoe and He Yuzhu exchanged glances.

"Zhu Zi, you have a good chat with Mr. Wang. I'll take the children to the yard to play for a while."

"Old man, if you have anything to say, just tell Zhuzi directly. I'll go prepare a guest room for you. You can have a drink with Zhuzi later. You can stay at home tonight."

"Xiao'e, thank you for your help." Wang Deming was also warmed by the He family's warmth.

"Grandpa, look at what you said. We are one family, so let's not talk about different things."

"That's Grandpa Wang. I want to learn how to stab people from you."

The third child, Shun Shun, spoke without restraint.

Wang Demin was even more excited when he heard this, and said with a flushed face:

"Shun Shun, if you want to learn, Grandpa Wang will teach you all the family traditions."

He Yuzhu had never expected that his youngest son would have an interest in studying Chinese medicine, and he had never expected that his grandfather would make such a promise.

One of the important reasons why Chinese medicine declined in later generations is that it was passed down from generation to generation, which led to the loss of many national treasures.

Now Wang Demin actually said that he wanted to pass the family heirloom to Shunshun. He Yuzhu knew that although the two families had a good relationship, he could not afford such a generous gift.

There are not so many twists and turns in Shunshun's eyes.

"Grandpa Wang, let's make a promise that we won't change our minds for a hundred years."

"Row."

He Yuzhu saw that Wang Demin was serious and said immediately:

"Old Wang, this is not okay. It's against the rules."

But Wang Demin seemed to have seen through the world.

"Zhu Zi, do you think that I, Wang Demin, am not qualified to be your Shun Shun's teacher?"

"Old Wang, you know that's not what I meant. Your Wang family's heirlooms are too valuable."

Wang Demin sighed and said:

"Zhu Zi, didn't you ask me why I became like this?"

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but now some people are calling the things left by our ancestors the Four Olds and want to destroy them. Do you think this is ridiculous?"

When He Yuzhu heard this, he was so angry that he slammed the table.

"This is ridiculous. This is a waste of natural resources. You must be crazy."

"Zhu Zi, there are very few people who think like you. I've been running around all day today. Some of the old friends I used to know have closed their shops or disappeared. It seems that the things left by our ancestors will be lost in our generation."

Looking at Wang Demin who was in a daze after saying this, He Yuzhu's anger reached its peak.

He Yuzhu finally understood why China had declined so badly in later generations. These ten years had damaged its roots.

No, I have to do something, otherwise I will feel uneasy. I guess Lao Wang also regards me as the last straw.

"Lao Wang, this is just the beginning. You should eat well and have a good sleep later. You should go find your old friends tomorrow. I will take care of this matter for you."

In fact, Wang Demin did regard He Yuzhu as the last straw, just as He Yuzhu thought, but Wang Demin did not mean to morally blackmail He Yuzhu. He just felt that He Yuzhu was in a high position at a young age, so he wanted to see if He Yuzhu could find any way to allow traditional Chinese medicine to survive in the cracks.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, He Yuzhu agreed to the matter immediately.

Wang Demin had no way to repay him, so he just stood up, took three steps back, and bowed respectfully to He Yuzhu.

This move also made He Yuzhu's eyes warm. Compared with such a persistent old man, those people who want to destroy traditional Chinese medicine deserve to die.

He Yuzhu thinks that he is not a bloodthirsty person. Ever since he traveled through time, starting with the "three giants" in the hospital, He Yuzhu has always adhered to the principle of persuading them if he can, and keeping his distance from them if he cannot.

In his previous life, he always believed in a saying that people should always have a heart of awe, and the system that came with the time travel allowed him to have a happy and fulfilling life.

So He Yuzhu never took Liu Haizhong's troubles seriously, but this time He Yuzhu felt murderous for the first time, and his intention became more and more intense.

Of course, He Yuzhu would not be stupid enough to carry out the assassination by himself. His strong sixth sense told him that this matter might not be as simple as Lao Wang said.

He Yuzhu also wanted to see what was behind all this.

Perhaps He Yuzhu's promise made Wang Deming feel much more relieved.

So before the two of them drank, Wang Demin brought up the topic again, which was to accept Shunshun as his apprentice. He bluntly said that his grandchildren were not talented, and teaching them would be irresponsible to the patients.

Seeing that Wang Deming was saying, "If you don't agree, I won't eat your food," He Yuzhu had to compromise.

"Shun Shun, come in and kowtow to your Grandpa Wang. From now on, you will be Grandpa Wang's disciple."

The reason why He Yuzhu called him his disciple's grandson was because he knew that Wang Deming had a very high status in the medical world in the north. If Shun Shun became his disciple, his seniority would be very high, which would not be good.
