Zhuang Qingning gripped her sleeve and spoke hesitantly, "Brother Wencheng... how have you been in the pharmacy lately? With everything going on, I haven't had the chance to ask or visit you there since you started working at the pharmacy."

"However, I see that Yuansheng is willing to learn, and I did teach him some things. Yuansheng is clever and remembers the medicinal herbs well, he learns faster than I did at his age. Maybe in a few years, I won't be teaching him, I will be learning along with him."
