After all, the comprehensive opening up of the economy still needs time and process, she has enough time for him to consider slowly.
Ling Tianze saw Xinyan wasn’t joking and replied solemnly, "I will think about it seriously."
The two chatted for a while longer before parting ways.
Xinyan walked another bus stop before reaching the master’s place.
As soon as she entered the yard, she saw senior brother Ma Chengxi busy in the courtyard: "Junior sister, you’re back?"
Xinyan laughed and helped out: "Yes, the inspection group needs to adjust to the time difference today, no activities outside, so I came back."
Ma Chengxi smiled at his junior sister: "The master has been talking about you all morning, saying that your accompanying translation work will take around half a month. He’s afraid that with no supervision, you’ll let go of yourself and not follow his arranged study plan, falling behind in progress.
You wouldn’t know, he and master’s wife have both been annoyed by his nagging."
Just as he finished speaking, a strong voice came: "Ma Chengxi, so capable now, huh?"
Ma Chengxi didn’t expect his master to come out at this time: "Master, I was just reminding junior sister not to forget to spare time for her daily study tasks."
Mr. Du saw his little disciple back and didn’t bother with the eldest disciple: "Yanyan, why are you back at this time?"
Xinyan ran up: "Master, I don’t have much to do this afternoon, so I came back. They arranged accommodation there, so I’ll go back early tomorrow.
Eldest brother is about to return to work, I’ve finished reading the materials he gave me, some parts I didn’t quite understand, so I thought I’d quickly come back to seek advice."
This little disciple, though she didn’t apply to medical school in university, which made him feel a bit regretful, has an extraordinary talent in medicine.
No matter whether it’s the Chinese medicine he’s taught or the Western medicine knowledge taught by eldest disciple Ma Chengxi, this girl masters them readily. Even if there’s something she doesn’t quite understand, as long as you give her a hint, she comprehends at once, making him very happy.
His old friends are quite envious of him.
Ma Chengxi finished his work, washed his hands, and came into the house: "Come, let senior brother see what you don’t understand?"
Originally, Mr. Du still wanted to chat with the little disciple for a while, but knowing the importance of things: "Alright, if there’s anything you don’t understand, let your senior brother explain well to you, I’ll go find your master’s wife, and prepare a good meal for you tonight."
Xinyan’s face was full of smiles: "Master, tell master’s wife I want dry pot meat."
After saying, she pointed to the bag she brought back: "There are ingredients in the bag."
Mr. Du looked at his little disciple with a smile: "Didn’t you just eat it a few days ago, see how greedy you are, alright, I’ll go tell your master’s wife."
After Mr. Du left, the two went into the study room, Ma Chengxi saw his junior sister took out a book, so he poured two glasses of water and brought them over.
Xinyan turned to the pages she didn’t understand and seriously asked, Ma Chengxi patiently explained, one taught earnestly, the other studied zealously.
Two hours later, they finally went through all the confusing parts.
Ma Chengxi didn’t expect junior sister to learn so fast, so he took out the book from his bag: "Junior sister, for the remaining half of the book, you might finish it in just a few days. You can take this book too, anything you don’t understand, we’ll discuss it next time we meet."
Xinyan accepted it with a smile: "Well, thank you, senior brother."
Ma Chengxi smiled and tapped Xinyan’s forehead lightly: "I am your senior brother, don’t be so polite.
Come winter break, I’ll arrange for you to intern at the hospital. Don’t worry, it won’t waste your time, I’ll let you observe in the operating room."
Upon hearing this, Xinyan thought, that won’t work, winter break isn’t long, and she needs to go South for goods: "Senior brother, let’s forget winter break. It’s already not a long holiday, and I have some personal errands to handle. Besides, letting me directly observe in the operating room might not be appropriate, I don’t want to cause you trouble."
Ma Chengxi naturally knew what his junior sister was thinking: "Then take care of your own business first, come when you have time, I’ll personally guide you then, how about that."
Xinyan couldn’t refuse anymore: "Alright, then I’ll come find you at that time."
