On this day, it began to rain lightly. Looking out of the window, Qian Yuan suddenly saw two men coming to the pharmacy. It's a mother and daughter The girl is about ten years old, holding her mother in one hand and holding an umbrella in the other. Most umbrellas are beside her mother, and the girl's clothes are wet. Qian Yuan hurriedly greeted him with an umbrella and took the mother and daughter to the pharmacy.
That woman has been suffering from bronchitis for more than ten years, and all she saw was her severe cough. Master felt her pulse, looked at her tongue coating, and observed her face, and her brow gradually wrinkled. Female bronchitis has reached a certain level, especially this season. Master wrote some words on the paper. Qian Yuan looked at his master and made no noise. The little girl looked at Master anxiously, with her clever eyes rolling, and asked softly, "Doctor, is my mother very ill?" Master smiled and comforted the little girl: "Nothing, nothing serious. Just take some medicine. "
Qian Yuan heard from the master that these little girls were poor at home and would not come to see a doctor if they didn't have a bad cough. I saw that Master added honeysuckle to the prescription and handed it to Qian Yuan.
Qian Yuan took the medicine carefully according to the prescription. Just about to calculate the money, the little girl suddenly took out two eggs from two small pockets and said to Qian Yuan, "Brother, our family has no money, and only these four eggs are left. Do you think it can be used as medicine money? " Qian Yuan was shocked and looked back at his master. The master smiled kindly, and the two men said in unison, "Yes, of course." The little girl smiled happily at once.
The host gave Qian Yuan a wink, and Qian Yuan understood at once. When he was loading herbs, he secretly wrapped four eggs in a medicine bag and handed them to the little girl to tell her to take them well.
The little girl's mother always has wet eyes. She coughed and bowed to Master, looking at her daughter affectionately. The little girl raised her chin and looked at her mother. She said happily, "Mom, you don't have to worry about it in the future. There are several hens who can lay eggs in our family. With eggs, you can buy medicine to treat diseases. "
Master motioned for the little girl to come over, pointed to a pile of bought honeysuckle and said to her, "Now is the time for gold, silver and bloom. You can also choose some I'll buy what you choose, so you don't have to worry about the cost of medicine. " The little girl nodded excitedly and said, "Good!"
The rain stopped and the little girl helped her mother leave. Qian Yuan looked at the little girl's back and suddenly her eyes were a little hot. He turned to look at Master, who was quietly wiping the corner of her eye. Neither teacher nor pupil spoke, but looked at the mother and daughter silently until their backs disappeared around a corner.
In the following time, Qian Yuan and Master often met this little girl on the way to collect medicine. The little girl is very clever. When she saw them, she said hello. Master always grabs a handful of honeysuckle in her small basket and praises her for her skill. The picked honeysuckle is fragrant and beautiful. The little girl always smiles innocently. Once, the little girl said to the master, "The last time I took my mother to see a doctor, you returned the eggs to us. I have to return them to you." Hearing this, Master laughed: "You little smart card, take this as a reward for filial piety. Besides, you have to eat more eggs, and only when you are well can you pick more honeysuckle for me. "
Honeysuckle is a medicine in great demand in pharmacies. On this day, the teacher and pupil who have been busy for half a day don't know what induction is, and they are all looking at the outside of the pharmacy. At this time, I really saw the mother and daughter. The little girl is carrying a basket of dried honeysuckle, and her mother looks much better. Qian Yuan hurried out and took the little girl's basket. Master treated the little girl's mother again, and Qian Yuan weighed the honeysuckle for her.
This time, Master's brow relaxed a lot, and the woman's illness also eased a lot. Master wrote down the prescription in a rustling sound, and honeysuckle was specially added to the prescription. Qian Yuan over there also weighed and calculated the money. The little girl said happily to her mother, "Mom, we have money to see a doctor." Qian Yuan took the medicine according to the prescription prescribed by Master, packaged it and gave it to the little girl. The little girl quickly took out the money. At this moment, the master said, "You don't have to pay, smart boy. Your honeysuckle is in good shape and dry, so you don't have to pay. " The little girl replied, "No, doctor, it is right to give money to the doctor." So, Master showed the little girl a lot of honeysuckle she picked, which was much better than others, indicating that the purchase price for the little girl was reduced and the little girl was relieved.
Master pinched the little girl's face and said, "Little smart card, you can earn money to treat your mother in the future, so that your father who is far away can work with peace of mind and don't have to worry about her illness." It turned out that the little girl's father sold all the valuable things at home in order to treat his wife, and then went out to work. There are only mother and daughter at home, and life is very hard.
Soon after, a public welfare organization for poverty alleviation came to the town, and Master recommended the little girl's family. Later, the little girl was taken to the city to study.
Time flies when winter goes and spring comes. The little girl who is studying in the city is growing up slowly. She changed her name to "honeysuckle". In the year of college entrance examination, honeysuckle chose to apply for medical university without thinking. Many things happen. Honeysuckle was admitted to medical university. After graduation, she quickly became the technical backbone of the local hospital and later became the dean of the hospital.
However, no matter how the years change, honeysuckle will never forget those warm memories of childhood. She once made a special trip back to the pharmacy in her town to visit Qian Yuan and his disciples. At this time, Master was old, Qian Yuan was married, and he inherited Master's pharmacy. She tentatively asked Qian Yuan if she would like to work in her hospital, where the conditions are good and the income is high. But Qian Yuan shook his head firmly, for nothing but this memory. Honeysuckle also wants to take her mother to the city to see a doctor, but her stubborn mother always insists on Qian Yuan's guidance. Every time honeysuckle can smell the fragrance of honeysuckle in the medicine soup cooked by mother.
For many years, honeysuckle has been trying to treat patients with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine, but it has received good results. Under the advocacy of honeysuckle, her hospital often goes to the countryside for free clinics, and they regularly bring medical equipment to towns and villages to see local people for free.
Master, who is already full of silver hair, is very happy to see the little girl so promising. But no one knows that the honeysuckle family once owed a debt to Master. If honeysuckle's father hadn't taken the initiative to apologize to Qian Yuan's master, maybe the past would have been buried forever, because the master never mentioned it. At that time, Qian Yuan had not yet come as an apprentice, and honeysuckle had not yet been born.
At that time, honeysuckle's father, because his wife's illness could not be cured for a long time, was very annoyed to see that his family was getting poorer and poorer. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He rushed to Master's pharmacy to make trouble, blaming Master for his poor medical skills and smashing Master's pharmacy. In two days, honeysuckle's mother will give birth to honeysuckle, but it is still difficult to give birth. Seeing that his wife was dying, honeysuckle's father had the cheek to ask for help. Master let bygones be bygones and helped mother honeysuckle deliver the baby smoothly. But after this incident, honeysuckle's mother felt sorry for master and refused to come to see a doctor again. Later, her illness became more and more serious until she was dragged by honeysuckle to see a doctor.
Honeysuckle's father walked up to Qian Yuan's master and said, "Doctor, I'm sorry, you are a good man! Not only did you not blame us for what happened in those days, but you also saved us and gave us so much help. I owe you an apology after so many years! " Say that finish, honeysuckle's father bowed deeply to his master. When Qian Yuan and Honeysuckle turned to see Master, they saw that the old man was still smiling and kind.
