“Rourou, I heard from your parents that you went to participate in some physics competition today. Were you nervous?” Grandma Tao kept holding Tan Rou’s hand and even asked her granddaughter to sit beside her when they sat at the couch.

“I’m not nervous. Besides, I even came out early.” Tan Rou took her grandmother’s pulse.

“Oh my, my Rourou is really amazing. You even came out early from the hall!” Grandma Tao was delighted to hear that.

Tao Qi sat beside Grandma Tao and said good things about Tan Rou, “Grandma, it’s not just that. Third Sister always came in first in every exam, and she scored full marks in all her subjects except English and Chinese. Why didn’t she get full marks for English and Chinese? Because the teacher was afraid that she would become too arrogant, he deliberately deducted her marks.”

Grandma Tao couldn’t stop smiling, but at the same time, she felt a little uncomfortable. She knew that some children would study hard in order to get attention in a new environment. She was afraid that Tan Rou was the same.

“Rourou, you don’t have to force yourself.” Grandma Tao said earnestly, “Even if you don’t do well, we won’t blame you. Don’t tire yourself out.”

Tan Rou did not think that studying was tiring. She told Grandma Tao, “Grandma, studying is a very happy thing for me. I don’t think studying is tiring.”

“That’s good.” Grandma Tao touched the back of Tan Rou’s hand and said lovingly, “Grandma doesn’t expect you to achieve much. I just want you to be happy. As for the matters at home, you don’t have to worry. We will always be here to support you.”

Tao Qi interjected, “Grandma, Third Sister is amazing! She knows how to make incense pills, treat patients, make pills, and even assemble computers. Also, the Third Sister is talented in earning money! She usually gives me a lot of pocket money and even gets me to save them for New Years!”

Mother Tao came over with fruits. “Yes, she is. Rourou is amazing. Didn’t I often suffer from insomnia back then? With the calming incense and medicine that Tan Rou made for me, I stop having problems sleeping now. Not only me, but a few of my friends who used the calming incense made by Xiao Rou said that they slept very soundly.”

Grandpa Tao said, “You know how to treat illnesses and make medicines?”

Tan Rou nodded. “Just a little.”

Grandpa Tao frowned and said, “You need a medical license to treat patients. Rourou, it’s fine if you want to help your family. Don’t treat any outsider, especially when it comes to taking medicine. If someone else gets sick from eating it, it’s a serious matter.”

Tan Rou understood her grandfather’s good intentions, but she knew her own medical skills well. She wouldn’t harm others.

“You’re such a scary old man,” Grandma Tao said unhappily. She held Tan Rou’s hand and said, “Come, Rourou, let me take a look. I’m not afraid if you mess up.”

Tan Rou had the same thought in her mind as well. When she took Grandma Tao’s pulse just now, she had already discovered the problem with her body. Now was the time to take a closer look.

Grandpa Tao explained, “That’s not what I meant. I’m just afraid that Xiao Rou will be at a disadvantage if others try to take advantage of her.”

“I won’t, Grandpa. I only treat those that I know. I wouldn’t just simply treat anyone” Tan Rou said as she took her pulse.

Grandma Tao glared at Grandpa Tao, telling him not to say anything. Grandpa Tao could only sit quietly at the side.

“Do you often feel dizzy?” Tan Rou asked Grandma Tao

“I do. Sometimes I get dizzy after sitting for a long time.”

Tan Rou observed Grandma Tao’s tongue and said, “Does Grandma like to eat greasy things? Like pork or fat meat?”

“I like to eat braised pork,” Grandma Tao said. “I can eat a big bowl of it every meal.”

“That’s not a good habit to have.” Tan Rou warned her, “Grandma, your body isn’t suitable for eating so much fatty meat. Also, try to eat less greasy things. The grease will accumulate in your blood vessels and affect your health.”

“Did you hear that?” Grandpa Tao asked. “I told you to eat less meat. You wouldn’t even listen to the doctors. Now that your granddaughter is saying it to you, are you going to ignore her words too?”

“I’ll listen. I’ll definitely listen to what my granddaughter says,” Grandma Tao said helplessly.

Tan Rou suggested to Grandma Tao, “If you’re really craving for greasy meat, you could try some vegetarian meat made from soybeans. It has the taste of meat and isn’t so greasy.”

“Alright, I’ll try.” Grandma Tao agreed.

Grandpa Tao asked again, “Rourou, did you learn your medical skills from a doctor?”

Tan Rou pulled Bai Jing out again. “I have a master to teach me these. He’s a family doctor of a friend I know. He’s a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.”

“Oh, I see.” Grandpa Tao didn’t think too much about it. As long as his granddaughter didn’t learn anything bad, it was fine. As for the medical skills she learned from her master, it wasn’t that important..
