Chapter 79: He Doesn’t Want to Miss Out
After finishing looking at the pigs, the three of them went around to the cowshed.
This place was relatively remote and there were no households nearby, so they didn’t encounter any other villagers.
The people in the cowshed had just finished eating the meal made by Old Zhao. Recently, with the meat that Song Chu asked Song Lao Er to send over regularly and the grain that Gu Yue bought from the black market, the several elderly people were eating well and their complexions had improved a lot.
Seeing the three of them walking in together, they were all stunned and surprised.
Especially Old Gu. Seeing Huo Kai, he asked him in surprise, “Why are you here?”
Huo Kai walked over with a respectful smile, “Grandpa Gu, I was transferred to the county’s Armed Forces Department. I ran into Xiao Yue by chance today, so he brought me here to see you.”
Old Gu looked at his favorite junior, his eyes filled with both relief and worry, “You guys are too rash. If someone sees you, it won’t be good for you.”
He is now a bad element, but Huo Kai’s work is relatively righteous. If someone sees him coming to visit and associate with him, it won’t be good.
Huo Kai smiled and said, “Grandpa Gu, you don’t have to worry about this. Song Chu has already helped to take care of it.”
Then he told him about Song Chu telling the villagers that he was coming to see the pigs and cows.
Old Gu breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Song Chu with some kindness in his eyes, “Comrade Song, thank you.”
Song Chu smiled, “You’re welcome, Old Master Gu. Gu Yue is our farm’s technical consultant, so he’s one of our own. Helping with this little thing is nothing.”
When the other elderly people heard her say this, they looked back and forth between her and Gu Yue, their eyes all showing a playful look.
At this time, Gu Yue also walked to Old Gu’s side and reached out to hold his hand, “Grandpa, Song Chu knows about our relationship.”
Old Gu nodded, “Okay.”
The three of them had things to talk about, so Old Gu took Huo Kai and Gu Yue to the place where he slept.
Song Chu sat outside and chatted with the other elderly people.
Zhao Di smiled and said, “Little Comrade, thank you for asking your brother to send meat over recently.”
Song Chu shrugged indifferently, “He wants to learn skills from you, so it’s only right that he pays a little tuition.”
Her gaze fell on some medicinal herbs that were drying in the distance.
Teacher Lu had a good impression of Song Chu and asked with a smile, “Can you tell what kind of medicinal herbs those are?”
Song Chu stood up, picked them up, looked at them, smelled them, and said separately, “This is Bupleurum, this is Rehmannia, this is…”
She was a Ph.D. in biopharmaceuticals and was very familiar with medicinal herbs and pharmacology, but she hadn’t specifically studied how to treat diseases.
Originally, Teacher Lu just asked casually. Seeing that she accurately picked up the herbs and named them, he was surprised, “Have you studied medicine?”
Song Chu shook her head, “I like the major of pharmaceuticals. I’ve read some books in private, so I deliberately learned about the efficacy and pharmacology of many medicinal herbs.”
“For example, I have read the Compendium of Materia Medica many times and can basically recite it.” As a super-scholar, strong memory and comprehension are a must.
This time, not only was Teacher Lu surprised again, but the other elderly people also looked surprised.
“You can recite the Compendium of Materia Medica?” Teacher Lu couldn’t help but ask.
Song Chu nodded, “Yes, if you don’t believe me, you can test me.”
Teacher Lu really didn’t quite believe it. The Compendium of Materia Medica is such a thick book. None of his former students who specialized in Chinese medicine could recite it.
Although he couldn’t recite it all, he remembered a lot, so he asked Song Chu more than a dozen questions about it.
Song Chu answered them all without hesitation.
The old people present didn’t know how to describe their surprise. This girl’s memory is too good, and she seems to be able to add her own understanding on the basis of reciting, and her comprehension is not ordinary.
◈◈◈
Teacher Lu felt a sense of cherishing talent, “Do you know anything about Chinese medicine?”
“The culture of Chinese medicine is quite extensive. I know a little, but not much.” Song Chu had thought about learning Chinese medicine before, but by the time she had free time, the apocalypse had come.
Teacher Lu’s mind moved, “Then do you want to learn?”
“If I have the opportunity, I still want to learn.” Song Chu said truthfully. If she could learn how to diagnose and treat illnesses, she could better grasp pharmacology and pathology, and maybe it could help her break through the bottleneck in her pharmaceutical skills.
Teacher Lu’s eyes showed some kindness, “If you want to learn, you can come over when you have time. I can teach you, as a way to repay your life-saving grace.”
Repaying the life-saving grace was one point, and feeling that Song Chu was a good candidate for learning Chinese medicine was another point.
Song Chu’s face showed joy, “Okay, I’ll learn.”
Old Zhao had a very good impression of Song Chu, so he said, “Little Comrade, you definitely won’t go wrong learning Chinese medicine from Teacher Lu. He was the president of the First Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Kyoto, a famous national expert.”
It’s a pity that he was reported by his son-in-law, otherwise, he wouldn’t have fallen to this point.
Song Chu didn’t expect Teacher Lu to be so impressive, and said with a smile, “So Teacher Lu is so amazing.”
By saying this, she also meant that she would acknowledge Teacher Lu as her teacher.
In her cognition, if someone is willing to teach her with their heart, she should naturally respect the other person as a teacher, and a teacher of national expert level would definitely benefit her a lot.
Teacher Lu’s expression was a little dim, and he waved his hand, “That’s all in the past.”
“You can call me Teacher Lu in private, but you can’t tell others about our relationship, let alone acknowledge me as your teacher.” He emphasized to Song Chu.
He wanted to teach Song Chu entirely because he valued her talent, and he didn’t want the inheritance of Chinese medicine in his possession to be cut off in his hands.
Song Chu chuckled, “If you are willing to teach me knowledge, then you are my teacher. Don’t worry about other things, I know what to do.”
She certainly wouldn’t go around প্রচারing that she was learning Chinese medicine from Teacher Lu. In another two years, she believed that Teacher Lu would be rehabilitated, and she could learn from him openly.
Teacher Lu nodded with a slight smile, “I believe you can handle it. You can come over secretly when you have time in the future.”
“Okay!” Song Chu agreed.
An elderly man who looked a little frail and hadn’t met Song Chu before, the one who was sick earlier, suddenly looked at her and asked, “You like the pharmaceutical major?”
Song Chu nodded with a smile, “Yes, it’s my favorite major.”
Because it was her favorite, she studied and invested the most in it. After graduating and entering the Biopharmaceutical Research Institute, she also won several international awards in biopharmaceuticals.
The old man said with a gentle face, “What do you know about this field? Can you talk to me about it?”
When Song Chu heard him say this, she more or less guessed his identity, and then confidently said, “Okay, I know about pharmaceuticals…”
The surprise on the old man’s face grew stronger, and finally, he was a little excited. He asked a lot of questions.
After Song Chu finished answering, the excitement in his eyes was even stronger, “Are you willing to learn pharmaceuticals from me? I was a professor in the Department of Biology at Hua University, specializing in pharmaceuticals.”
He didn’t want to give up his major and hoped to continue to cultivate talents in this field for the country. After all, this area is really weak now.
Song Chu was able to understand so much knowledge through self-study, coupled with her comprehension ability, she was simply a genius born for the pharmaceutical major. He didn’t want to miss out.
