Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1233

Chapter 1233: Chapter 1106: Are You Trying to Spook Me?

On weekends, the city hospital’s traditional Chinese medicine outpatient department is particularly crowded, especially with old patients who come upon hearing the news.

It’s different from the symptom-treating approach of Western medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine, though paused for a few years, is still favored by the older generations, especially the elderly doctor who looks ageless and his young apprentice who seems to have stepped out of a painting.

— That acupuncture technique, paired with a few doses of traditional Chinese medicine, truly cures the disease effectively.

Unfortunately, the master and apprentice only consult for one day a week, and occasionally they put up a sign saying they had an emergency, pausing for half a day.

According to insiders, it’s because some patients need urgent surgery that requires the assistance of this duo, while others say that officials request their presence at the inpatient department.

There are various stories, so old patients who manage to get an appointment feel fortunate and, at the same time, can’t help but inquire if this master-apprentice duo can open one more day a week.

Speaking of which, it’s fine if the elder doctor isn’t there, the younger doctor will do too. Shouldn’t young people work hard instead of idle around?

Similar questions often arise as patients recover over time, especially for Zhou Jiao’s second senior brother, Dong Zhichao, who is the hospital director, which gives him a headache.

His junior sister made up the alias Zhou Qiao, but it can’t change the fact that it’s the same person. He can’t ask her to give up her high position to work under him, right?

If it were workable, he’d even let her take his position as director.

Although he thinks this way, he can’t help but complain.

Near lunchtime and close to finishing work, Dong Zhichao specifically went to the outpatient department and finally sighed after the master and apprentice sent off the last patient.

"Junior sister, you don’t know how difficult it is for your senior brother. Today, someone asked me again if the conditions are too poor for you and your teacher. The medical school also wants me to persuade your teacher, as you’re his only personal and last disciple. Shouldn’t you help the old man?"

"... That old Dong is too terrifying, always coming to find me, saying he’s my uncle and calling me a disgrace to the Dong family. He’s scolded me so much that I can’t raise my head."

"Junior sister, why don’t I find a few young doctors to assist you..."

Zhou Jiao looked at him with a half-smile and decisively interrupted, "Senior brother, are you mocking me? Don’t think I don’t know the hospital has some veteran doctors with unique skills."

Dong Zhichao helplessly shrugged, "What can I do! The patients only trust you and your teacher. They say as soon as you insert the needle, the medicine works wonders."

Zhou Jiao glanced at him with a cry-laugh face and righteously replied, "That’s a psychological effect."

Beside them, Mr. Hu stroked his white beard, smilingly looking at his proud disciple, interrupting his nephew who was about to speak, "Enough, speak cautiously, lest you scare her away from coming to the hospital."

Dong Zhichao laughed out loud at the words. Compared to the elder brother, the junior sister still trusted him the most. Look, this time, the junior sister didn’t choose the elder brother’s military hospital.

"I’ve already asked your teacher to transfer two young apprentices to assist. As for Old Dong, just ignore him; he sees something good and wants to pull it to his side.

Doesn’t he realize I’ve never taught a class in my life, why go? Should those youngsters start by memorizing hundreds of books just like your junior sister?

Jiao Jiao definitely can’t go, if it can’t be hidden, just tell him the truth. When it gets colder, I don’t plan to have her come here often either."

Dong Zhichao nodded in agreement.

No need for him to talk, he thinks Mr. Hu is quite old, why come out for consultations in the cold winter, what if he falls?

"Jiao girl, quickly get ready to go, I guess that brat is coming."

Zhou Jiao smiled lightly, "Teacher, let’s go out together to the street."
