I became beautiful by eating melons

The warm breeze was blowing, and the green frogs in the pond were squatting on the lotus leaves, croaking non-stop.

The four masters and apprentices sat around a round table in the yard and talked about their experiences over the years.

After hearing what their master had experienced in Dahe Village, the three disciples were silent and said with guilt: "Master, you have worked hard these years."

"That's enough. There's no point talking about the past." Liu Yutang put down his teacup and glanced at his three disciples: "You didn't come here just to see me, did you?"

"Master, we are here to ask you something."

Ding Zichun spoke first.

Seeing them hesitating, Liu Yutang's faces turned red with dissatisfaction, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you dithering?"

Wang Xinchao smiled and said, "This is good news. Tell Master."

"Master, we want to build a traditional Chinese medicine hospital and would like to ask you to come out and serve as the director." Ding Zichun made the request.

Liu Yutang waved his hand: "I'm old, I can't do it anymore."

He has been a barefoot doctor all his life. He does things in a casual way and hates rules and regulations. He cannot become a hospital dean.

Ding Zichun understood his master's character and knew that he hated trouble and rules, so he pleaded again, "Master, just be an honorary dean and don't worry about the hospital's affairs."

"Don't worry about me not going."

Liu Yutang was sorting out the ancient medical books left by his master, tending to the medicinal herbs he planted in the garden, chatting with old friends, talking about gossip, playing chess, and boxing...

After Xiaorou gave birth to her baby, he took care of the child and lived a happy life. He didn't know how happy he was.

Why do you want to make yourself uncomfortable? Why go to work?

Seeing that his three disciples were unwilling to give up and were trying to persuade him, Liu Yutang scolded them, "You three little bastards, I've been tired all my life, what's wrong with wanting to take a break at such an old age?"

"You are the president of an association, but you can't control the situation. You want your master who has one foot in the coffin to work for you. I think your conscience has been eaten by dogs!"

Being scolded by his master, Zhao Quhan listened obediently and muttered quietly: "You don't look like you have one foot in the coffin."

"You little bastard, I heard everything!" Liu Yutang was so angry that he beat the brat violently.

Zhao Quhan covered his head and asked in astonishment: "Master, how come your ears are so good?"

When Liu Yutang was young and went to the battlefield, his ear was blown off by a shell. He was not deaf, but his hearing was not very good.

Zhao Quhan is the youngest and has a naughty personality. He took advantage of his master's inability to hear clearly and often complained about his master. Now he was caught in the act and was stunned.

"Hmph!" Liu Yutang slapped the brat again and sat back in his chair.

After drinking the nourishing soup cooked by Xiaorou last night, I woke up with clear ears and eyes, and my hearing was incredibly good.

But there are also disadvantages.

He didn’t think it was noisy to keep a frog in the yard before, but now he really thinks this frog is so noisy.

Lao Zheng was right. He should secretly throw away the frogs Lao Zhou raised.

"Master." Ding Zichun called Liu Yutang's attention back and pleaded again: "Master, Chinese medicine is weak in Beijing now. We really need you."

Seeing his disciple's insistence, Liu Yutang's eyes turned and he suddenly said, "Don't you just want a dean? I do have a candidate to recommend."

Ding Zichun asked excitedly: "Who is it?"

Among the three apprentices, Ding Zichun has the strongest sense of responsibility. Since he became the president of the Chinese Medicine Association, he has consciously shouldered the future of Chinese medicine in Beijing.

I have no choice but to ask Master to come out of seclusion now.

Now that he heard that there was another candidate for his master, he was extremely excited. He held the teacup tightly in his hand, his eyes full of anticipation.

As he looked at her impatiently, Liu Yutang said slowly, "Your junior sister."

"What?" The three disciples were shocked.

Ding Zichun shook his head and said, "My junior sister is still in school. I'm afraid she won't be the dean..."

Liu Yutang snorted coldly: "You saw her medical skills during the competition, right? How does she compare to you?"

Ding Zichun praised: "He uses the needle accurately, has rich experience, and performs well on the spot. I can't compare to him."

Liu Yutang boasted along his white beard, "Your little sister is talented and hardworking. I have only taught her for less than a year, and she has achieved such results. Her future is limitless. I am more than qualified to be your dean. You can even say that you have picked up a great bargain."

"Master, being the dean is not an easy job. Without anyone's help, it will be difficult to get started. Also, people from the Western Medicine Association are eyeing us covetously. Junior sister may not be able to endure this hardship." Wang Xinchao advised.

Liu Yutang snorted coldly: "I'm telling you, there is no one in Jing City who can bully Xiao Rou."

Wang Xinchao frowned, and he scanned the courtyard and what he saw and heard along the way into the courtyard.

Could it be that the junior sister’s identity is not simple?

He asked tentatively, "Isn't Junior Sister your disciple from Dahe Village?"

"Don't ask about these. I can only say that it's a good thing for you that Xiaorou is the dean." That was all Liu Yutang had to say.

Wang Xinchao seemed to be thinking about something.

Seeing that his two brothers were silent, Zhao Quhan muttered: "But Master, Junior Sister is a woman after all, can she..."

Before Zhao Quhan could finish his words, Liu Yutang grabbed him and beat him up.

"What's wrong with being a woman? You were not born by a woman? Women hold up half the sky. How are you better than a woman?"

Liu Yutang beat and scolded him.

Zhao Quhan ran around the yard holding his head, his gold-rimmed glasses falling off, and begged for mercy, "Master, I was wrong, please don't hit me."

Liu Yutang was panting with exhaustion. "You three brats, let me tell you, you got a great bargain with Xiaorou as the dean. Xiaorou has plenty of money, connections, and skills. Even without you, she would have been able to run a Chinese medicine hospital sooner or later!"

Ding Zichun and the other two looked at each other and said in unison: "Master, the preparation of the Chinese Medicine Hospital is not just a matter for the three of us. We need to go back and discuss it with the other people in the association."

"Okay, let's go. I get a headache just seeing you guys." Liu Yutang waved his hand and drove them out.

Ding Zichun and the other two smiled bitterly. They came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. It was indeed not a good time to continue the conversation. Finally, they shook their heads and left.

As soon as I left the East Courtyard, I saw Principal Ji standing in front of the West Courtyard.

Principal Ji stood in front of the courtyard, his hands clasped together, his face full of tension.

Just as the three were about to call Principal Ji, they saw Ye Rou walking out from the west courtyard and shaking her head at Principal Ji.

Principal Ji's hands hung limply, and he looked as if he had aged ten years.

The three of them gave up the idea of ​​talking to Ji Chunming, nodded to Ye Rou, and left silently.

Watching the three brothers leave, Ye Rou asked, "Principal Ji, are you going back to school?"

"Ah?" Ji Chunming came back to his senses, unable to hide the distraught look on his face, and said dejectedly, "I'll go back."

My aunt didn't want to see Principal Ji, and Ye Rou didn't try to persuade her. She just pretended not to see Principal Ji's decadence and led him out, saying, "I just happened to be going to school for class. Let's go together."
