861 Could Not Be Hurried (1/2)
In the car outside the clinic…
”Xiao Nan, how do you feel?” the middle-aged man softly asked. He hoped the treatment would be effective and his son would quickly recover and be healthy.
”Dad, I'm fine,” the boy said.
His words made his father smile.
In the past, he had not answered any questions from his father, no matter what his father asked. It was as if he thought his words as valuable as gold. Now, he answered him at once, which was a great improvement. Of course, it might be a coincidence, but there had been no such coincidence before.
”An old friend of mine, who passed away, had only one grandson,” Sang Guzi said. ”The boy begged me to come to see you here. Otherwise, I would not come to trouble you.”
”Hey, you're welcome. Just tell me what you need me to do in the future,” Wang Yao said.
”Since you said that, there is another thing I want to ask you,” Sang Guzi said.
”Yes, go ahead.”
”Do you need an apprentice here?” Sang Guzi asked.
”What?” Wang Yao stunned for a moment.
”Apprentice? What kind of apprentice?”
”To learn medicine,” Sang Guzi said.
”I don't want to hide it from you,” Wang Yao said. ”I do have an apprentice. He is a doctor in our county hospital.”
”Would you like to have one more? I would like to put it straight forward. I have a grandson who is studying Chinese medicine. He is quite smart. I'm getting older now. As his grandfather, I am afraid that I can't teach him well, but the abilities of his father and his uncles are limited. If you want another apprentice, please tell me. I will bring him here to have him learn from you.”
”OK, let me think about it,” Wang Yao replied.
”That is good.”
”Since you have come all this way, would you like to stay and have a meal?” Wang Yao asked.
”No, thanks. I came here with the father and his son, so I should go back with them. There is still something to do at home.”
”I'll see you off.”
He walked Sang Guzi to the car. He gave him a bag of tea, which had been picked from Nanshan Hill.
”Try some tea. I planted it myself.”
”OK, thank you.”
The young man, Xiao Nan, in the car kept staring at Wang Yao.
”What is it, Xiao Nan?” his father asked.
”Goodbye.” The teenager raised his hand and waved at Wang Yao.
”Goodbye,” Wang Yao replied with a smile.
The middle-aged man was surprised to see the situation.
In the car, the middle-aged man praised, ”Mr. Sang, Dr. Wang is a very good doctor.”
”He is truly extraordinary in medicine,” Sang Guzi said.
The middle-aged man looked at his son. His eyes were filled with love. This was the first time in a long time that he saw his son took the initiative to speak to others.
The young boy sat quietly in the seat, looking out of the window. Nobody knew what he was thinking.
He did not like to talk. Since his mother died, he felt as if the world had become dark. Since it was dark, there was no reason to communicate with the world. He closed himself off and became quiet and unwilling to talk to others. He was like that even when facing his father and family.
