Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 885

Chapter 885: Chapter 758: Is There Something Wrong with This Pregnancy?

After the idle chat, they returned to the main topic.

Doctor Hu saw that it was getting late and took out a pen, quickly writing a prescription which he handed to Zhang Guoqing.

"Most herbal shops will have these ingredients. Prepare several doses to take to school and boil them every day for your wife to soak her feet. I’ll change the prescription when the weather warms up."

Zhang Guoqing carefully folded the prescription and placed it in his jacket pocket.

Doctor Hu pointed to a package and tapped on the table, "Bring it up."

Zhang Guoqing not only brought up the package from Doctor Hu but also opened it himself—it was filled with wooden boxes and books of various sizes, no wonder it was heavy.

Doctor Hu touched the ten or so yellowed ancient books and removed a note attached to them.

"Originally, I included this schedule in the package." Master Hu said, casting a meaningful glance at his disciple, "For now, you shouldn’t worry about the books inside the package. Your health is the priority."

Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded.

Zhang Guoqing was startled upon hearing this, his hands clenching into fists.

"... Your senior brother suggested I introduce the sect rules, not because I forgot. He’s straightforward by nature and forgot that Master Ma used to be from the same sect, so I deliberately avoided it."

Zhou Jiao asked softly, "Taoist medicine?"

Doctor Hu nodded approvingly: "We are authentic Taoist doctors, and our rules are similar to other sects. But starting from your grand master, we’ve pursued a more carefree approach."

Zhou Jiao suppressed a laugh and nodded. She understood the implication, which was not to get too bogged down by the rules. Her teacher himself was a free spirit.

"Laugh if you want to." Doctor Hu glanced at his disciple, "Once you learn about the experiences of our previous generations of grand masters, you’ll understand why. Too much fame isn’t a good thing, just like your grandmother’s family."

Zhou Jiao’s heart skipped a beat and she appeared thoughtful.

"That’s also the main reason I wanted to take you as a disciple. I’ve lived through several eras, endured numerous life-and-death situations, and am no longer naïve. Living freely is sometimes essential for survival."

"Master..." Remembering how this old man helped her regain her position, Zhou Jiao looked at him with guilt.

"Hahaha, your master is doing just fine." Doctor Hu laughed heartily, winking at Zhou Jiao, "In recent years, I’ve gotten old, and my hands and eyes aren’t as steady, so I thought I’d take on a disciple to take care of me in my old age."

Observing the conversation from the side, Zhou Xiaozheng put down his teacup: "Uncle Hu, are you sure living alone is alright?"

"Who said I’m alone? After the New Year, someone will come to take care of my daily life. Alright, you guys should head back earlier; I won’t keep you for dinner."

Zhou Xiaozheng didn’t insist further and checked the time: "Then we’ll take our leave now. Xiao Wu, take your mom and them to the car first, I’ll follow shortly."

Hearing this, Zhang Guoqing looked at his father-in-law with delight and quickly pulled up his wife who wanted to speak.

Zhou Jiao helplessly glanced at her hands being held. What’s happening? Zhang Guoqing noticed something, but she was aware, yet her son was firmly holding her other hand, pulling her out?

"Master, I’m leaving now. We’re out of snacks at home, I’ll have Xiao Wu bring some over, don’t go without."
