Chapter 33 first quarter

Cheng Shaozhong's extra-curricular intensive English tutoring has run aground again.Just after Liu Chang’s class came out today, Sophia, who was waiting to pick him up outside the school, told him: Mary didn’t come to class today, so she sent Fang Zhiwu to the airport——Fang Zhiwu decided to suspend his studies temporarily and go to Los Angeles to meet Tang Ren after much consideration. Jie co-founded the Chinese Clinic.He asked Mary to tell Cheng Shaozhong that he was sorry that he could no longer help him with English tutoring, and he looked forward to Cheng Shaozhong's ability to cooperate with them one day and work hard together.

This was what Cheng Shaozhong was most afraid of, and it finally happened.That day, when he heard about Tang Renjie in New York, he felt that Tang Renjie was messing around.Unexpectedly, Tang Renjie came to Washington to find him that night, and mobilized him to cooperate with him to set up an imperial medical clinic in Los Angeles.It is said that how many Chinese have settled there, and the authorities have specially approved these Chinese to use the Chinese herbal medicine transported from China for auxiliary clinical use in the name of functional food.He also said that the government does not understand the qualifications of doctors of traditional Chinese medicine, so he has no right to speak. Therefore, it is a good time to fish in troubled waters. I also want to worship him as a teacher to learn the common sense of Chinese medicine, and to be his assistant.It seems that this is the big cause that Tang Renjie is going to do vigorously.Cheng Shaozhong asked Tang Renjie if he traveled across the ocean from Hong Kong to open a Chinese clinic in Los Angeles?Tang Renjie said with some displeasure, of course he came to the US to study abroad, but why do you have to make money first, especially if you want to do big things, you have to make a lot of money first, and now working as a clinic is to solve the accumulation of primitive capital!

Cheng Shaozhong didn't want to be with this kind of person who is always passionate, idealistic and constantly refurbished. In the end, despite his rhetorical rhetoric, he politely declined his entreaty.It just means that the medical books he borrowed should be given to him for clinic use.But please stop making jokes about being called "Cheng Shaozhong". Tang Renjie didn't persuade Cheng Shaozhong to persuade Fang Zhiwu.Cheng Shaozhong learned from the conversation between Tang Renjie and Fang Zhiwu that although Fang Zhiwu came from a wealthy family, but because he spent money like water, his hands and feet were too big, and his family had some unpleasantness with him over tuition fees, and, maybe one day, the relationship would be terminated. his financial appropriation.Tang Renjie urged Fang Zhiwu: a body of seven feet stands tall, so why rely on the charity of the family?Now the opportunity to make a lot of money is here, and it is a good time for a man to develop his financial strength, so don't miss it.

Fang Zhiwu was a little tempted by Tang Renjie's lobbying, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while. After Tang Renjie left, he continued to attack by phone again and again. Now it seems that Tang Renjie succeeded.Cheng Shaozhong understood that the reason why Tang Renjie had to confuse him or Fang Zhiwu to cooperate with him was because he had no capital himself, and secondly, he was not a medical student. It would definitely not work to deceive people just by copying a few prescriptions.Now that Fang Zhiwu has gone, the problem of capital has been solved, but he, who studies western medicine, wants to practice Chinese medicine, just like Tang Renjie.Therefore, it is still possible for him to pester himself.Of course, if it is as expected, it must be in vain.

The question now is what to do with extracurricular English tutoring? I could only find Liu Chang and Wei Qiang to try their fate, so after finding out where Wei Qiang and Liu Chang lived, Cheng Shaozhong and Sophia went to visit them. Liu Chang and Wei Qiang lived in a basement on West Twelfth Street, and the conditions were very poor.They also rely on work-study programs to solve tuition fees.This made Cheng Shaozhong find an opportunity, and reached an agreement with Liu Chang for three hours of make-up classes every night, and the remuneration was four dollars per hour. Wei Qiang and Liu Chang heard that Cheng Shaozhong was from a family of imperial physicians, and that Sophia's father had also been an imperial physician in China, so they thought that he came to study because of his royal background, so they asked worriedly, Qing Emperor Xuantong abdicated, and Yuan Shikai would let him in the future. Did the abdicated emperor's family keep their own dedicated imperial hospital?I also asked that in China, there is a university of medicine in Jinling, St. John’s University School of Medicine in Shanghai, and Xiage Medical School in Guangzhou. They are all western medicine schools run by foreigners. Why did they not go there and come to the United States to study western medicine?

In all fairness, Cheng Shaozhong didn't think about these question marks of Wei Qiang and Liu Chang at all. He confessed frankly that he was a dutiful son. Arranged with his adoptive father before his death to come to the United States.As for the western medicine schools in Shanghai, Jinling, and Guangzhou, although he had heard of them, he never thought of going there to study western medicine, and it had nothing to do with Yuan Shikai whether he let the abdicated emperor retain his imperial doctor.His current task is to learn English well first, and then learn Western medicine, especially Western pharmacy. Two or three years later, he will return to Yaowangmiao Town with a master's degree. discuss.However, it is worth coming to the United States for a few months.First, he saw a country that is very different from China, with many good customs and good things, which are worth returning to China to promote.Second, I feel that the people of this country have a kind of spiritual outlook, whether they are human beings or academics, it is worth learning.

After hearing Cheng Shaozhong's confession, Wei Qiang and Liu Chang laughed together, especially Liu Chang, who laughed so hard that he even shed tears.After laughing, she said to Cheng Shaozhong in English: "You are such a good boy!" Of course Sophia understood what she said, and she also laughed. When Cheng Shaozhong and Sophia returned home, they saw bright lights inside and outside the house before they entered the house: strings of colorful lights were hung on the American fir trees in front of the door, flickering and flickering. Walking into the house, the living room and the stairs are also lit up with colored lights, red, green and green, complementing each other——There is still half a month before Christmas Eve on December 24th, why should it be like Christmas? ?While Sophia was wondering, Brown and Homan walked down the stairs with smiles.Brown, who was walking in front, shouted excitedly: "My dear children, guess what kind of happy event has come to our house?"

Sophia and Cheng Shaozhong looked at each other, both a little puzzled, and they were stunned for a while. Homan, who was walking behind Brown, took a step forward and shook the beautiful glass Christmas ball in Cheng Shaozhong's hand, saying, "Mister Cheng, my child, guess what gift I want to give you?" The glass Christmas ball was held in front of Cheng Shaozhong's eyes again and shook, and there was a crisp sound inside. "Stone!" Cheng Shaozhong suddenly realized, "The kidney stone has been passed!" After finishing speaking, he grabbed the glass Christmas ball and carefully observed it against the light.

"Son, Chinese medicine is so amazing!" Homan shouted without waiting for Cheng Shaozhong to see clearly, and then hugged Cheng Shaozhong desperately and kissed him wildly.
