Chapter 325 Accepting a Disciple
Chapter 325 Accepting a Disciple
From then on, the three children became good friends.
Cheng Yi would often go to Xia Songlan's house to do homework with the children. She gradually became more cheerful and talkative.
Xia Songlan also gradually got to know Cheng Yi and learned about her life experience.
I also understood that the reason why her personality was so cold was because it was a protective color she had built up for herself over the years.
It is impossible for anyone who grows up in such a native family to remain unaffected.
That evening, Xia Songlan came home from get off work and saw Cheng Yi strolling in the compound.
The girl was wandering aimlessly in the yard. She must have been crying and was in a bad mood, like a bullied little beast.
Xia Songlan called her, "Cheng Yi, you haven't eaten yet, why don't you go to your aunt's house."
Cheng Yi was thinking about something, and when she heard someone calling her, she was stunned at first, but when she saw it was Xia Songlan, she relaxed a little.
She hurriedly wiped the tears from her face with her hands, pulled her lips hard, and showed a subtle smile, "Auntie, you're off work."
A 15-year-old girl's mind is extremely sensitive, and Cheng Yi is an introvert by nature.
Xia Songlan did not ask Cheng Yi why she was out and about, but raised the apple in her hand and said, "Let's go to Auntie's house and eat apples. Auntie just bought them."
Cheng Yi thought about how her mother also brought an apple home just now, but when she saw her, she not only didn't let her eat it, but glared at her with disgust.
She watched her mother take her husband and daughter into her grandmother's house, and then she walked out tactfully.
But when I went out of the yard and heard the laughter of their family in the house, my heart still felt like it was being pricked by a needle.
But she really had nowhere to go. If there was anyone willing to adopt her, she would not come to her grandmother's house.
She would not even bother to disturb her mother who had despised and abandoned her.
But even though I understood everything in my heart, once I saw my mother, my heart, longing for love, began to beat wildly.
Looking at Xia Songlan who always showed her warmth and tenderness, Cheng Yi could no longer control her tears and burst out, "Aunt Xia."
She threw herself into Xia Songlan's arms with a choked voice.
Xia Songlan was stunned at first. This was the first time that Cheng Yi showed his emotions in front of her.
She hurriedly hugged Cheng Yi and said, "Good boy, stop crying and go back to your aunt's house to eat apples."
"Auntie, am I too greedy? At first I just wanted someone to take me in, but now I want my mother's love."
Xia Songlan rubbed her hair. "It's normal for a child to want her mother's love. How can it be considered greedy?"
"But my mother already has a family, she has a husband and children, I can't destroy her family.
But every time I see her, I feel extremely jealous, and I hope she can look at me more and hug me like Aunt Xia does. "
Xia Songlan couldn't judge whether Cheng Yi's mother was right or wrong. After all, one should not advise others to be good unless they have experienced their own suffering.
But Cheng Yi was right.
She patted Cheng Yi's shoulder gently, "Good boy, don't dwell on everything, divert your attention.
Auntie has a lot of books at home. Let's go and see if there is anything you like. "
Cheng Yi lay in Xia Songlan's arms and cried for a while, and her mood improved a little.
These words have been weighing on her mind for a while, and that negative emotion has always affected her.
She felt like she couldn't bear it any longer and maybe it would be good to divert her attention.
He obediently followed Xia Songlan to her home.
Xia Songlan and Ning Jingmo both like reading and buying books.
They installed several bookshelves against the wall of the small reception room on the second floor, which were filled with books.
But it is obvious that the one on the left is Xia Songlan's, and the other one is almost entirely medical books.
On the right is Ning Jingmo's, which contains all kinds of books.
Ning Tianya enthusiastically introduced the collection of books at home to Cheng Yi.
Ning Ziqing pointed at the books in the bookcase and said to Cheng Yi: "Sister Cheng Yi, you can read all the books here. Read whatever you want."
At first, Cheng Yi liked to read Ning Jingmo's books, and she was crazy about all kinds of famous works.
But she reads very fast. She finished reading the thick book "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" in more than an hour.
"How the Steel Was Tempered" didn't even take an hour.
Not only did I finish reading the book, I also wrote down all of its contents.
When I went back home that night, I asked Xia Songlan for her opinion, "Aunt Xia, can I take two copies back with me?"
Xia Songlan was very fond of children who loved reading and agreed without hesitation.
Reading can indeed divert attention.
Apart from studying, Cheng Yi focused all his attention on reading, and he was not as depressed as before.
Later she found that she preferred reading medical books.
She read those obscure medical books with great interest.
Xia Songlan was also discovered by accident.
Seeing that she was looking carefully, he asked a few questions casually, and Cheng Yi answered them fluently.
Even some questions can be raised.
Xia Songlan was pleasantly surprised. "Good boy, Auntie wants to take you somewhere this weekend. Do you have time?"
Cheng Yi readily agreed, but still said, "I have time, but I need to go home and ask my grandmother for her opinion."
Xia Songlan nodded.
Grandma Wang in the front yard had no objection to Cheng Yi and Xia Songlan's family getting close, and she even welcomed it.
I happily agreed to the invitation.
On the weekend, Xia Songlan drove her two children and Cheng Yi to her grandfather's yard.
Grandpa and grandma expressed great welcome to Cheng Yi's arrival.
Grandpa looked at Cheng Yi calmly.
Xia Songlan had already communicated with her grandparents via letters before she came.
I just briefly talked about Cheng Yi's life experience and focused on her talent in traditional Chinese medicine.
Grandpa asked a few questions casually and Cheng Yi answered them fluently.
Grandpa waved at her and said, "Good girl, let's go out for a walk."
Xia Songlan did not follow.
When Grandpa and Cheng Yi came back from their walk outside, Grandpa's face was obviously full of joy.
"Not bad, not bad, he's a good candidate, much better than that kid Ziqing.
Ziqing was only good at talking on paper, but Danfang did memorize a lot, but unfortunately he only got the basics.
This girl is amazing. She has only been reading for a few months, but she can recognize all the medicinal herbs at a glance.
He can draw inferences from one instance and apply it to other situations. He is even more talented than you were at the beginning."
Xia Songlan was also very happy. She knew her grandfather too well. Her grandfather rarely praised people. This was the first time he had given such a high evaluation.
Cheng Yi felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and her face turned red.
Xia Songlan struck while the iron was hot, "Grandpa, why don't you accept me as your last disciple?"
Grandpa looked at her and shook his head, "This child is meant for you, so you should keep him!"
Xia Songlan was surprised.
But grandpa continued, “Ziqing won’t need to come again in the future.
Cheng Yi and Tian Ya can come to our place every weekend, but the key is that you still need to train them.
My grandfather is old and doesn't have as much energy as before. I now want to focus my energy on Zhou Ji Medical Clinic.
This child is extremely talented and must not be buried. You are a teacher, so you should take her as your disciple and teach her wholeheartedly.
This child may be able to inherit your legacy in the future."
Xia Songlan never thought that she would accept a disciple. It was her grandfather who suggested it.
