Chapter 475: Chapter 475 Can’t Take Away What Others Love Chapter 475: Chapter 475 Can’t Take Away What Others Love Qiu Yuehua thought that since the master and disciple hadn’t seen each other for a long ti, she wouldn’t bother them and said, “I ca to borrow that device for cutting coal balls.”
Feng Shumin smiled and said, “Look if it’s hanging on the wall inside the shed, if it’s there, take it, if not, go next door to the Li family to get it, they borrowed it yesterday.”
Qiu Yuehua went to the shed and didn’t see it, so she said, “I’ll check next door at the Li family. If they’re not using it, I’ll take it and bring it back to you tomorrow.”
Feng Shumin smiled, “Take your ti with it; I have plenty of those I’ve cut and I’m not in a rush to use them.”
After exchanging greetings, Qiu Yuehua left, and Yang Jiancheng then said, “Qiaoqiao, co in, Master has sothing to tell you.”
Luo Qiao approached Feng Shumin and asked softly, “Shi Niang, can you give a hint?”
Feng Shumin tapped her forehead and said, “Go on, it’s good news, I’ll make you sothing delicious.”
Luo Qiao entered the master’s study, and Yang Jiancheng pointed to the woven bag, “Take out what’s inside and see if you like it?”
Luo Qiao opened the woven bag carefully and took out sothing wrapped in cloth from inside, placing it on the table and opening it to reveal a little copper man used for learning acupuncture.
Luo Qiao looked up at her master, listening as Yang Jiancheng said, “This has been passed down from our ancestors. I had a feeling sothing might happen, so I hid it away. Today, I brought it back.”
“Master started practicing acupuncture on this copper man since childhood, and now, Master is passing it to you, hoping that your acupuncture skills will reach a new level and that you’ll carry on and enhance the art.”
After hearing this, Luo Qiao was deeply moved. This copper man was a Yang family heirloom, and now the master wanted to pass it to her. Thinking that the master valued her so much filled her heart with contentnt, and she couldn’t be greedy.
Luo Qiao said, “Thank you for valuing , Master, but I cannot accept this. It’s been passed down through the Yang family, and I know it’s an object you cherish. I can’t take what others love.
“Keep it for yourself, Master; it’s also good to have a keepsake. Every ti I co here, it would be nice if I could borrow it for a while.”
Seeing Luo Qiao’s firm response, Yang Jiancheng knew she wouldn’t accept no matter what he said, and after thinking for a mont, he said, “That’s fine, the object will stay with for now. Whenever you need it, just co over.”
When the master and disciple stepped out of the study, Feng Shumin’s cooked al was ready. Luo Qiao said, “Shi Niang, did you make braised pork today?”
Feng Shumin smiled, “Look how eager you are, go wash your hands, and we can start eating.”
Once all three of them were seated, Feng Shumin asked again, “Qiaoqiao, where did you get so many fresh vegetables?”
Luo Qiao smiled, “I t a friend previously who has so connections, and they can get so rare items; I got them from that person.”
Feng Shumin said, “Don’t waste money like that in the future. What does it matter what we eat?”
Luo Qiao laughed, “It didn’t cost much; it’s just for a little novelty.”
After eating, Luo Qiao practiced acupuncture on the copper man in the study all afternoon. Seeing it was getting late, she took her examination admission ticket and left, agreeing to et at the exam venue tomorrow.
After Luo Qiao left, Feng Shumin learned from Yang Jiancheng that Luo Qiao hadn’t accepted the copper man, “Ah, that child is clear-headed, she must not want to take what others love.”
Yang Jiancheng laughed, “You understand her well, saying the exact sa thing. But the child probably feels that it’s not proper for an outsider to take possession of the Yang family heirloom.”
After saying this, both of them fell into silence.
Luo Qiao left her master’s place and was going to take the bus, but she bumped into Qin Muyang at the street corner.
Qin Muyang saw Luo Qiao from a distance and called out, “Luo Qiao, when did you co back?”
Luo Qiao smiled faintly, “The day before yesterday. Are you getting off work?”
Qin Muyang, while patting the dust off his body, said, “Yeah, just got off work, and ran into you. The ginseng roots I borrowed last ti, I couldn’t find any of that quality in lots of pharmacies, so I was thinking maybe I could pay you for them instead.”
Luo Qiao was going to say forget about it, but seeing Qin Muyang’s serious expression, she knew he wouldn’t agree, so she said, “However you want is fine. How’s your sister Mu Xiao doing?”
