Chapter 65 Rejected as apprentice

 "You think I don't want to? It's just that I can't afford to go to school, and it's far to go to the school in town. Let's wait and see when we're older." She said this, but Mrs. Fang actually had some thoughts in her heart. Maybe her child was the first one.

Where are the two Zhang Chunsheng?

Lin Yuehua also considered letting Lin Dahu enroll in the school. Firstly, it was really far away, and secondly, she could teach him, so he could give it to him later when he saved enough money.

"Big girl, how about I help you with the cooking at your house? I don't want a lot of wages, just give me a total of 20 yuan." When Fang saw Zhang Xiahe cooking at Lin Yuehua's house, she also became interested.

Mrs. Fang thought that the spring plowing had passed and the fields were not busy, so it would be nice to come and chat and earn a few pennies.

"Then come on, Sister Xia He will be tired of cooking for more than a dozen people by herself."

After Lin Yuehua agreed, Fang happily went to the kitchen to help cook.

After Zhang Xiahe returned to her parents' home, she didn't go anywhere in the village, so she went to Lin Yuehua's house to help with work. She was a widow with a child, and there was a lot of gossip in the village.

She heard several times that the villagers said that she was a burden and would hinder her brother Chunsheng's marriage. She secretly cried several times because the world was so unfair!

Why should a man still be criticized after she died?

"Xia He, we are peeling potatoes. Auntie will help you. I will cook with you in the future." Fang quickly picked up the potatoes and started peeling them.

"Okay, Auntie." Zhang Xiahe has no objection.

After peeling potatoes for a while, Fang asked Zhang Xiahe: "Xiahe, you are still so young, do you plan to find another one? How about I keep an eye on you?"

"Auntie, what are you talking about? I have no intention of looking for him, the baby is still young." Zhang Xiahe was very embarrassed.

"It won't happen anywhere."

Lin Yuehua listened outside the door and saw that the two of them got along well, so he felt relieved. He had to plant aloe vera in the field quickly. If he didn't hurry up with the task of one acre of land, he would not have time.

Lin Yuehua called Zhang Daguan, brought his younger siblings, and the four of them went to the ground to plant aloe vera.

Along the way, Lin Erya was very interested in seeing all kinds of green grass on the roadside. She pulled a piece of grass and said to Lin Yuehua: "Sister, this is plantain, also called plantain. It blooms from May to July and blooms in July."

It will bear fruit until September."

"Oh? Is it a medicinal herb?" Lin Yuehua saw Lin Erya's excited face.

"Yes, the seeds of Pinglan Cheqian can be used as medicine. They are sweet in taste and cold in nature. Sister, let's collect the Ping Che Qian seeds in September and sell them in the drug store, okay?"

Lin Erya was very happy. She believed that one day she could make a lot of money and be as powerful as her sister.

Lin Yuehua did not dampen Lin Erya's enthusiasm. She touched Lin Erya's head and said with a smile: "Okay, Erya knows new medicinal materials and tells her sister. We will collect them and sell them for money."

"Sister, isn't this just weed? It's everywhere, and it can still be sold for money?" Lin Dahu was a little confused. He felt that the grasses all grew the same, so why could the second sister be able to tell what medicinal materials were.

"This is the power of knowledge!" Lin Yuehua was afraid that Lin Dahu would not understand, so she said it another way.

"Dahu, you have studied and know many words, but your partner is not literate yet. You can read it with the book "The Thousand Character Classic", but he cannot read it because he is illiterate. Similarly, Erya has learned

If you don’t learn herbal medicine knowledge, you won’t be able to recognize it.”

Lin Dahu said unconvinced: "I don't know about herbal medicine, but I can recite a lot of poems, and the second sister can't recite them yet. I'm no worse than the second sister!"

"I didn't say that you are worse than Erya. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. What we have to do is to learn our skills and increase our knowledge. When a person's vision is broadened, his mind will also be broadened.

More open-minded."

Lin Dahu fell into deep thought.

Lin Yuehua admitted that she preferred the well-behaved and sensible Lin Erya at first, but now that they have gotten along, she has noticed Lin Dahu's little progress and changes, and she will try her best to keep her bowl of water balanced in the future.

Seeing Lin Erya squatting on the ground and having fun pulling plantain leaves, Lin Yuehua strengthened her thoughts.

"Brother Zhang, you take Dahu to plant aloe vera in the fields first. Erya and I will go to the doctor's house in Lincun before we come back."

Zhang Dacan, who had been following behind him as a transparent person, heard Lin Yuehua calling him and immediately ran forward: "Yes, boss, just call me Dacan."

Lin Yuehua couldn't defeat Zhang Dacan, so he worked for Lin Yuehua as a long-term worker and insisted on calling Lin Yuehua his boss.

Dr. Lin Cun is a white-haired old man who walks a little tremblingly. His great-grandson is as old as Lin Erya, but he is only two generations older than Lin Yuehua.

Lin Yuehua went to Lincun doctor's house, and Lincun doctor was drying herbs in the yard.

"It's Da Niu, Er Ya, right? You're old. When you get closer, your eyes are blurry and you can't see clearly." Dr. Lin Cun narrowed his eyes.

Lin Yuehua knew that this was probably presbyopia and he couldn't see close things clearly, so he pulled Lin Erya's hind legs a few steps and said with a smile: "Grandpa Lin, Erya and I are here to see you."

"Grandpa! Who are they?" came a childish voice.

Lin Yuehua looked around and saw a little boy sticking his head out of the house. His eyes were flickering and he was very cute. He had a pair of dimples. Why did he look familiar?

"Who is Grandpa Lin?" Lin Yuehua and Lin Erya asked in unison.

"He is the second son of my eldest granddaughter, Chen'er, come here." Lincun doctor saw the child smiling and waved to him.

The little boy ran up to Dr. Lin Cun on his short legs and looked at Lin Yuehua and the others curiously.

Lin Yuehua also remembered that this child looked almost exactly the same as the little medicine boy she saw at the Huichun Hall in the town.

"Grandpa Lin, does Chen'er have a brother who works as a medicine boy at Huichun Hall?"

"Big girl, how do you know?" Dr. Lincun was surprised.

Lin Yuehua explained the reason and intention of coming: "Grandpa Lin, I came here today to ask you to accept Erya as your apprentice. My sister is quite talented in medical skills."

Unexpectedly, Doctor Lincun didn't even look at Lin Erya after hearing this, but frowned.

Lin Yuehua thought for a while, and it seemed that she was hasty in coming to be a disciple. She had to bring meat, sugar, and tea, and she was impatient.

"Grandpa Lin, you can take a test on Erya. Let her distinguish medicinal materials, you won't be disappointed."

"There's no need to take the exam, I won't accept apprentices. Although the old man has no ability, he can only treat some superficial diseases, but I don't accept female apprentices. Big girl, please come back." Dr. Lin Cun refused directly.

Lin Erya's face suddenly turned pale.

Lin Yuehua was not angry, she just felt that Lincun doctor was too stubborn. Should he still pass it on to men but not to women? How could traditional Chinese medicine be passed down and promoted in this way?

However, Lin Yuehua did not force Dr. Lincun.

"Grandpa Lin, please take care of your health. Erya and I are going back first and will see you again in a few days." Lin Yuehua took Lin Erya's hand and said goodbye.

Lin Erya was in despair.

"Why are you following us?"
