Chapter 191: Chapter 0191: Majoring in Traditional Chinese Medicine 3_1

Dr. Guo thought for a moment, "My brother has an old classmate named Wu Zheng who works as a doctor in your mining district. He was originally my senior and highly skilled in traditional Chinese medicine, but due to circumstances, he shifted to study Western medicine. Actually, he is proficient in both. Because he offended some people and could no longer stay in the Capital, he transferred to that little mining district medical institution, where he leads a pretty good life. I’ll write a recommendation letter. When you go back, give it to him when you visit, ask him to evaluate Xiaoxue. If he is willing to accept Xiaoxue as his apprentice, that would be the best."

Dr. Guo feels it a shame to let a talent like Feng Qingxue slip away.

Lu Jiang was beyond thrilled, "I thank you on behalf of Qingxue, Dr. Guo."

The outcome of having a mentor guide one into a profession and self-learning is entirely different. The latter depends entirely on self-exploration and may easily lead one astray.

Studying medicine is to relieve the suffering of mankind; the results of straying could be frightful.

Dr. Guo waved his hand, "No need for formalities, I just want to help develop a talent for our country. In the future, when Xiaoxue becomes accomplished, she might be able to follow in Xiuying’s footsteps, accompanying you in the army to heal the wounded. At that time, you and your wife may not need to live separately."

She has seen too many army personnel and their families living apart. They are always thinking about others often forgetting their own families at home.

Some soldiers haven’t returned home for years, their children wouldn’t even recognize them creating an irreparable rift.

Yes! Lu Jiang clenched his free hand into a fist and excitedly hit the armrest of his wheelchair.

By then, he wouldn’t have to endure the pain of longing anymore.

"Dr. Guo, when can I leave the hospital? Staying here now seems to be a waste of resources." Lu Jiang’s external injuries were all healed, and his internal ones were healing by themselves, so he no longer needed to change his dressings.

He wanted to ask his unit for leave to return to his hometown with Feng Qingxue to get married.

"I’ll arrange your discharge right away. But remember, you must return for a check-up in two months. If your recovery is going well, you will recuperate for three more months before you undergo the next round of surgery." Dr. Guo pointed to his damaged arms and legs, "Now you have three shrapnel pieces in your leg and one in your arm, remember, you can’t do heavy work, you shouldn’t put weight on your leg, to avoid the shrapnel shifting in your body, risking your life."

Lu Jiang nodded: "Rest assured, Dr. Guo, I value my life more than anyone."

After processing his discharge, Lu Jiang successfully received his injury leave. His marriage report was also approved. Given his condition, he could still rest while back in his unit. Niu Yibao was appointed to accompany him and Feng Qingxue back home to attend their wedding on behalf of the unit’s leadership and comrades. They would then return to the unit.

Feng Qingxue was both thrilled about Lu Jiang’s homecoming and reluctant to part with the hospital’s doctors and nurses.

Here, she opened the door to learning and found the direction of her life. Under their selfless instruction, she learned a lot of knowledge that would accompany her for the rest of her life, never to fade away.

Lu Jiang handed her Dr. Guo’s recommendation letter and repeated Dr. Guo’s words, Feng Qingxue was immediately overjoyed.

This was so exciting!

She held the letter envelope tightly. If Lu Jiang weren’t around, she would have hidden it in her space instantly to prevent it from getting lost.

"Don’t get too excited too soon." Dr. Guo happened to look for them and rained on their parade, "My senior has a serious, almost old-fashioned character. He has only accepted two personal disciples, and you may not pass his assessment."

Feng Qingxue laughed: "At least it’s an opportunity! If I pass, that’s great; if not, it means I have inadequacies and need to work hard!"
