Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 240 Xiao Tian, ​​would you be willing to become Sister Gu's disciple?

“I asked him, and Xiaotian plans to pursue a career in medicine. In that case, having Xiaotian become Dr. Gu’s apprentice is the best option.”

They were well aware of Gu Jianing's capabilities.

A person who can give lectures, treat tuberculosis patients, be featured in national newspapers, and be remembered and rewarded by higher authorities must have considerable ability and a promising future.

Being Xiaotian's master is more than enough.

Just ...

"I just don't know if Dr. Gu is willing or has the idea of ​​taking on apprentices."

Whether or not to accept a disciple is something that cannot be forced; it depends on fate.

“Aren’t we hosting a banquet for Dr. Gu and his wife tomorrow? We can ask them about it tomorrow,” Qin Zhihong said.

"Yes, you can ask."

After a good night's sleep, the next day arrived.

On this rare day, Sheng Zexi didn't have to train.

The weather was nice today. Although it snowed, it wasn't heavy, and the temperature wasn't too low.

Despite this, Gu Jianing still had no intention of bringing the two children along.

After all, it's quite small, and if it gets cold outside, it might get sick.

So, Xingxing and Yueyue were taken care of by Grandma Sang, while Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi went to the state-run restaurant together.

When the two arrived at the state-run restaurant, Qin Zhihong and his wife, along with Qin Tian and Qin Qing, were already waiting for them.

"Sister Gu..." Qin Tian, ​​with his sharp eyes, immediately spotted Gu Jianing walking over and quickly raised his hand to greet her.

"Deputy Commander Sheng, Dr. Gu." Qin Zhihong and Du Lan greeted Gu Jianing and his wife, then invited them to sit down.

Actually, they had met in Beijing before.

Therefore, the two sides are not exactly strangers.

There was nothing awkward about chatting with them.

The reason Qin Zhihong and his wife invited them today was twofold: firstly, to solemnly express their gratitude to Gu Jianing for extending a helping hand to Qin Tian and others, and secondly, to say goodbye.

After all, they were going to Beijing.

"Comrade Qin, you and Sister Du Lan have already expressed your gratitude before, so there's no need to say it again. It's just that Xiao Tian and I are destined to meet."

“Besides, we’re friends now, so it’s only right for friends to help each other,” Gu Jianing said.

Gu Jianing had a very good impression of Qin Zhihong and his wife.

This is indeed a friend worth making.

Having more friends means having more options.

Moreover, Qin Zhihong and Du Lan have promising futures.

When Qin Zhihong and Du Lan heard Gu Jianing mention "friends," their eyes lit up immediately. "Yes, we are friends."

Qin Zhihong and Du Lan knew that Gu Jianing and his wife had indeed not taken their help to heart. They didn't say anything more now, but they still remembered it. The person who helped can be forgotten, but the person who was helped cannot be forgotten.

Then, Du Lan mentioned that they would soon be moving to Beijing.

“Beijing is a good city. If Qin Tian and Qin Qing go to Beijing, they can receive a better education.”

"And you won't have to be separated anymore."

"Yes, I can no longer bear to be separated from my child," Du Lan said with emotion.

Looking back on those nine years of separation, Du Lan doesn't know what kind of courage she had to persevere.

But she couldn't bear it if it happened again.

Therefore, she never wanted to be separated from her child again.

Soon, the dishes were served.

The two chatted and ate together, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

During this time, Qin Tian and Qin Qing also asked about Xingxing and Yueyue, as they had been hoping to see them today.

However, when Gu Jianing said she was worried that they would get cold when they went out, she did think it made sense.

Last year at this time, winter was extremely cold, something Qin Tian and Qin Qing experienced firsthand.

Fortunately, this winter wasn't too cold. It was over an hour later when we finished eating and chatting.

As it was almost time to part ways, Du Lan remembered what she had been thinking about the night before.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Dr. Gu, there's something I'd like to ask you, if I may be so bold."

Gu Jianing: "What is it?"

"I'd like to ask Dr. Gu if he has any plans to take on apprentices?"

Gu Jianing was speechless when she heard Du Lan say that, and then she saw Du Lan's gentle gaze fall on Qin Tian beside her.

Got it!

Soon, Du Lan said, "If, if Dr. Gu is considering taking on an apprentice, could you perhaps consider Xiao Tian?"

"Mom..." Qin Tian looked at his mother in surprise. He didn't expect that his mother would actually ask Sister Gu to consider taking him as her apprentice.

Did Qin Tian ever consider becoming Gu Jianing's apprentice?

To be honest, I hadn't thought about it.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but rather that he felt it was wishful thinking.

He felt he wasn't good enough and didn't deserve to be Sister Gu's apprentice.

But even if I can't be her apprentice, it would be great to learn medicine from Sister Gu.

However, Qin Tian kept this idea to himself.

He didn't expect that his mother, who had only been back for a short time and hadn't spent much time with him, would actually see through his thoughts.

Now they're even asking Sister Gu to consider him.

Qin Tian couldn't describe his feelings.

He thought, maybe this is what a mother is like.

A mother is always thinking about her children.

Du Lan pulled Qin Tian, ​​whose eyes were slightly red, to her side.

He then looked at Gu Jianing, waiting for her answer.

"Dr. Gu, there's no need for you to feel pressured. This was just a suggestion. If you, Dr. Gu, don't have any plans to take on apprentices, then..."

"sure."

Du Lan didn't want to put Gu Jianing in a difficult position.

Gu Jianing is their family's benefactor.

If we make things difficult for our benefactor, wouldn't that be repaying kindness with enmity?

Therefore, Du Lan was merely making a suggestion, without any coercion.

She simply had a loving heart and wanted to fulfill her son's deepest desires.

Just as she was about to give up because she felt she had been too presumptuous, she suddenly heard Gu Jianing's voice agree.

Du Lan stared at Gu Jianing in astonishment, and even Qin Tian looked at Gu Jianing with surprise.

Gu Jianing smiled, patted Qin Tian's head, and said, "Actually, I had the idea of ​​taking Qin Tian as my disciple before."

"I've observed that Qin Tian is a very talented and intelligent child with a strong medical background."

"Medical skills need to be passed down, so I also want to pass on my medical skills."

"Since Qin Tian has such talent, and Xiao Tian and I get along well, then let's not miss this opportunity."

"So……"

Gu Jianing looked at Qin Tian, ​​gazed at him intently, and asked solemnly, "Xiao Tian, ​​would you be willing to become my apprentice and learn medicine with me?"

Qin Tian's eyes immediately reddened, and tears almost welled up in his eyes.

He nodded hurriedly, as if afraid of missing out if he was even a little slow, and said, "Yes, yes, I'm willing."

"Okay. It's settled then. In the next couple of days, we'll have a simple tea ceremony to formally acknowledge each other as master and disciple. After that, you and I will be master and disciple."

"it is good."
