Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 213: Lu Family Medical Collection, Master Spends All the Money (3K)

"Master, you suddenly asked me what I want, and I really can't remember it for a moment. You never mentioned this rule before, right?" Fang Yan said to Mr. Lu.

Lu Donghua said:
"There has always been a rule that if a disciple in a sect solves a crisis for the master, the master should reward him according to his merits."

"You stepped forward and solved the problem when everyone else was down this time, so you deserve a lot of credit. I don't know what to give you, so just take what you want."

He paused and said:

"As long as the master has it, I can give it to you."

Fangyan was a little confused when he heard this.

There are actually many things that can be learned from the master. For example, in martial arts, Fangyan has not yet learned many advanced skills of Xingyiquan.

In addition, although the master’s medical skills seem average, he has a large collection of books at home.

He is definitely the person who owns the most books on traditional Chinese medicine among all the people I know.

I used to read books at his place every day and felt the richness of his collection of books.

Medicine and martial arts have been passed down in the family for so many generations, and these are the foundation.

Seeing Fang Yan was hesitating, Lu Donghua said to him:
"Speak now, don't be embarrassed. This time you not only saved me, but also saved other brothers. It can be said that if it weren't for you, our sect would have been wiped out by Shan Haoran."

"Just tell me what you want."

Fang Yan saw that his master was still insisting, so he thought for a moment and said:
"How about... lending me your collection of books for a while?"

Hearing this, Mr. Lu waved his hand:
"What are you borrowing? I'll just give it to you."

Fang Yan said hurriedly:
"No, no, I'll just take a look. You should pass those things to the little girl Wangyou."

“I could tell she was a gifted child.”

Fangyan actually intends to use the system to enhance these ancient Chinese medical books.

After the blessing, it made no difference to him whether the books were in his hands or not.

Unexpectedly, after hearing it, Mr. Lu wanted to give it to him directly.

So Fangyan quickly refused.

Lu Donghua sighed and said:
"She's still young now. If she wants to see it, just let her come to you."

"Besides, I can't teach her for a few more years. If she wants to follow our path in the future, she will still have to rely on your help in the end."

When Fang Yan heard this, he immediately glared at Mr. Lu:
"Master, you are still in good health, so stop saying such discouraging words."

Fang Yan's words were not meant to comfort Lu Donghua. He had also examined Lu Donghua's body. Even though he was over 80 years old now, his body functions were actually still that of a man in his early 60s. As long as he didn't have any accidents, there would be no problem for him to live to the average age of a normal master of traditional Chinese medicine.

There is still at least a dozen years left, which is enough time for Lu Wangyou to grow up, and even get married and have children.

You have to know that this is still a conservative estimate by Fangyan. After all, most of the other masters of traditional Chinese medicine do not practice internal martial arts. They are good at medical skills and can live to be over 90 or 100 years old.

Although Master Lu Donghua's medical skills are a little bit inferior, his body is very strong.

Just by looking at the way he restrained his strength to send the young man flying with a punch, you could tell what kind of physique he had.

He should have lived longer.

So his purpose in saying these things was more to get Fangyan to accept his collection of books.

However, Fang Yan also knew that his master was aware of his potential, and if Lu Wangyou interacted with him more, he would definitely take better care of this girl in the future.

Seeing that Fang Yan still wanted to argue with him, Lu Donghua immediately waved his hand and said:

"Okay, I'll just assume you asked me for it. I'll send the collection of books to your home tomorrow."

He was too lazy to talk, so he just used force. No matter whether you agree or not, since you asked for it, I will just give it to you.

It was rare to see the old man's unreasonable side. Fang Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to his master:

"Master, please bring it over tomorrow. I don't have time to take over."

"You have two rooms of books, so it will take at least a morning to move them all. Even if you call a truck, it will probably take two trips."

Lu Donghua took over the conversation and said:
"Don't you have time in the afternoon? I'll load the truck in the morning and bring it to you in the afternoon."

Fang Yan said to Lu Donghua:
"Master, to be honest, I have something to do all day tomorrow."

"What's the matter? Don't lie to me." Lu Donghua said.

The dialect said:

"Hey, why would I lie to you?"

Then he took out the letter of introduction from his body:
"Tomorrow, Zhu Lin and I will go get our marriage certificate."

When Master Lu Donghua saw the letter of introduction, he finally understood.

asked:

"Have you finished decorating your courtyard?"

Fangyan nodded:
"I've been over there this afternoon installing and testing the natural gas pipes. Once it's completely done, we can just go and register for marriage tomorrow."

"Then your matter is indeed more important..." Lu Donghua muttered.

Just when Fang Yan was about to ask the master to reconsider, he saw the old man wave his hand again:
"Okay, I'll go find a car to pack the books and bring them to you this afternoon."

"You said yourself that you were free this afternoon."

“……” Fangyan was speechless.

It's obvious that the old man would rather not have this collection of books.

Fangyan had no choice but to say:

"Then don't bring all of them. Don't bring the books I read before, such as the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, Compendium of Materia Medica, and the Acupuncture and Moxibustion Classic, which are the basics."

Lu Donghua nodded and said:

"Okay, then I'll go find a car to load my stuff and come to your place around two or three in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll definitely be there then." Fang Yan replied.

"By the way, do you have enough bookshelves? How about I move the bookshelves over here as well?"

Fangyan thought that even if he moved most of his master's books here, it might not be enough.

So he thought for a moment and said:

"Just bring your biggest shelf over here. That should be enough."

Lu Donghua nodded, then took his granddaughter away. Fang Yan walked them to the door, waved goodbye, and returned to his own clinic.

"Brother Fang, are we going to get the marriage certificate tomorrow?" At this time, Jia Dapeng asked Fang Yan.

Fang Yan looked at him and found that everyone else in the store was looking at him.

Everyone looked curious at this moment, waiting for him to reveal the answer.

Fangyan nodded:
"Well, as I said just now, the house will be renovated today. Tomorrow we plan to get the marriage certificate and then move into the new house together."

"Tomorrow we will have a fire at home, and the wedding ceremony will have to wait until the National Day. We will send out invitations to everyone then, and everyone is welcome to come."

As he said this, he smiled and bowed to everyone.

Everyone congratulated him:
"Congratulations, Brother Fang!"

"Happy wedding, Comrade Fangyan!"

"I finally got the beauty, Brother Fang, congratulations!"

"Tomorrow I'll be a family man!"

"Have a baby soon, Brother Fang!"

"..."

Fangyan listened to everyone's blessings, opened his drawer and took out all the candies inside.

Most of them were given to Lu Wangyou just now, and now everyone can only get a few.

Just think of it as a way to bring good luck and happiness.

Fangyan took this opportunity to ask for leave tomorrow.

In the end, the largest handful of candies was also given to Ledian as a bribe.

After she took leave, she had to explain it to every patient who came.

There is nothing we can do about this.

……

When he got off work at noon, Fangyan rode his motorcycle away from Dazhalan amid everyone's congratulations.

Thinking that the wedding time is getting closer, Fangyan couldn't help but feel better.

When we arrived at the entrance of Union Hospital, Zhu Lin was already waiting there.

She happily held a list and said to Fangyan:

"I passed the test yesterday."

"After the exam at the end of the month, you can become a full-time employee."

Seeing Zhu Lin's happy expression, Fang Yan said:

"Congratulations! You will soon become Doctor Zhu."

Zhu Lin immediately smiled and said:

"Haha, we are all happy together!"

The two chatted and laughed as they walked into the cafeteria. After getting their food, Fang Yan told Zhu Lin that his master would come to deliver medical books in the afternoon.

Zhu Lin's thoughts were different from Fang Yan's. She said:
"It just so happens that you have accepted two foreign apprentices. Then, with so many books, you won't have to worry about them having nowhere to look up information."

"That's how a master should act."

Hearing this, Fang Yan nodded:
"Now that you mention it, it makes sense..."

Basic books can be found everywhere, but Master Lu’s collection of books may not be found outside.

Especially when studying Mr. Zhu's notes, Fang Yan was very glad that he had read a lot of Mr. Lu's books before, otherwise he would not be able to understand the effects of some of the medicinal materials in the folk remedies.

Anton and Sofia, especially Anton who is so talented, will definitely use these books when he grows up a little more.

But before, I only thought about giving it to myself and that was it, but I didn't consider that my apprentice also needed it.

At this time, the old lady beside him also said:
"You two will definitely have children in the future who will need these books. Your grandfather's collection of books has long been gone. Now that your master has given you so many books, they can be used as enlightenment books for your children."

When Fang Yan heard what my mother said, he couldn't help but say:

"Mom, those books are not suitable for enlightenment..."

Do you really think that everyone is Zhu Liangchun or Cheng Xinnong?
Unless his own system can be passed on to his children, Fangyan doesn't think that children can be enlightened by those books.

The old lady said:

"What do you young people know? In ancient times, having many books in a family represented wealth, knowledge, status, cultural heritage and family honor. In short, you are a very good master!"

He also gave a thumbs up as he said this.

Fangyan nodded. It was really kind of the master to give so many books without saying a word.

……

After dinner, Fangyan went to the courtyard immediately.

After feeding the dog, the worker who was installing the natural gas came to the door with a new hose and a gas stove as agreed.

Today is the last section in the kitchen, so the installation is very quick.

It took less than an hour for them to connect the hoses to the gas stove, and then they started to ventilate and test it.

While they were testing, Mr. Lu's truck full of books arrived.

Fangyan opened the door and welcomed his master out of the car.

Looking at the bundles of books wrapped in kraft paper and a large mahogany bookshelf on the car, Fang Yan also saw the armory-like treasure chest where his master had placed the iron birch sticks.

He didn't remember asking for this.

Then he pointed at the box and asked Mr. Lu:
"Master, why did you bring your treasure box here?"

Mr. Lu said:
"Oh, that... I wanted to bring it over. I won't be using it in the future anyway, so I might as well bring it over to you."

Fangyan asked with a smile:
"You're giving all this to me?"

"Are you rewarding people based on their merits, or are you paying out of your own pocket?"
