Sitting on the bus back to the county seat, Gu Fan did not read and study in his spare time as usual, and rarely had leisure to look at the scenery outside the window. In four years, four years, the scenery of the street has changed, and many of the old buildings have aged and been demolished. A number of new buildings have been erected.

Looking at the development of the town, Gu Fan was in a trance. Some of the stalls that used to buy food when I was a child are gone, and they are replaced by supermarkets and convenience stores. Even the county town has developed so rapidly, what about other places?

Along the way, there is no bloody plot in other novels, and the road is safe or boring.

"The master is troublesome to park. Seeing the big sign at the gate of the county, Gu Fan knew that he was really home.

The car slowly stopped, picked up his backpack and got out of the car. Standing on the street, looking at the still dirty streets, I couldn't help but shake my head, no matter how time changes, at least there is no way to change the environment in the county for a while.

After buying some gifts in the supermarket, Gu Fan stood at the door of his medical hall and was distracted. Familiar taste of Chinese medicine, familiar atmosphere. After four years, he once again smelled this smell that ordinary people are not used to.

There will be no patients in the medical center, after all, this medical center is only a Chinese medicine hall. Modern people have always had the idea that Chinese medicine is better than cure. Gu Fan also asked his grandfather why he didn't combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and Gu Fan's grandfather Gu Zheng told him that although we don't stick to the rules and absorb hundreds of medical skills, after all, we are Chinese, and there are some things that we need to protect and insist on. Besides, it's not that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and the Chinese medicine hall can still support our family, so why bother to give up the culture of our ancestors for the sake of a penny more and a penny less? It is precisely under the influence of this kind of thinking that my parents left the county seat early and went to the city to start a business.

Fourteen years ago, Gu Fan's parents disagreed with his grandfather's thoughts, thinking that the old man was too conformist and chose to go to the city to develop. That year, Gu Zheng put all his focus on Gu Fan.

Walking into the medical hall, my grandfather was not sitting in the hall. Gu Fan walked to the medicine cabinet and looked at the various medicines that had already been prepared in the medicine cabinet, and reported their names and ingredients one by one.

"Ahem," accompanied by a coughing sound, an old man in a Mao suit walked out of the backyard.

Seeing a young man standing at the counter looking at the origin of the medicine, he asked, "Young man, what medicine do you need to buy?"

Gu Fan turned around when he heard a familiar voice, looking at the silver-haired old man in front of him, but the ruddy-faced old man shouted with a crying voice. "Grandpa"

Gu Zheng looked at the familiar figure in front of him, more mature and more stable than four years ago. "Gu Fan is back, come on, come on, hurry up and put the bag down. I'm tired on the way back, I'll cook for you. The old man pulled Gu Fan to sit down, and at the same time was about to go to the backyard to cook for Gu Fan.

Gu Fan took his grandfather's hand. "No need grandpa, I've already eaten." ”

Gu Zheng rubbed his hands on his clothes, "You kid, how can the food outside be compared to at home? ”

Gu Fan shook his head and grabbed his grandfather's hand. "It's not hard, I've learned a lot in the past few years, and I've seen a lot of patients who can't be seen in the county. I have accumulated a lot of clinical knowledge and lived a very fulfilling life. ”

Gu Zheng nodded with a smile, "That's good, that's good." ”

Gu Fan looked left and right, "Are your parents still in the city and haven't come back?"

Gu Zheng sighed, "I came back last month and sent some money, and then I left again." ”

Gu Fan pursed his mouth and patted the back of his grandfather's hand, only since Gu Fan was ten years old, he rarely saw his parents. Unless something happens at home, or you come back in a hurry to see the elderly during the New Year's holidays.

Gu Fan also has a younger sister who is two years younger than him. Count the grade is already eighteen years old, the little girl was spoiled by her parents, still remember the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner before going abroad, the little girl disliked the smell of medicine in the hospital and was unwilling to eat at home, and finally on the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, her parents drove back to the city with her sister.

Looking at the empty hall, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with only two people left. Gu Fan burst into tears when he saw his grandfather for the first time.

Gu Zheng looked at the grandson in front of him, "I didn't expect that you completed the school in four years that others may not be able to complete in a lifetime, grandpa is really happy, proud to have a grandson like you, really my good grandson." ”

Gu Zheng smiled and wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of his eyes. "Fan'er, do you think I'm doing something wrong? Your father didn't like Chinese medicine since he was a child, and he didn't take medicine seriously, so I took a feather duster and smoked him, and it was useless for anyone to stop him. Later, he grew up slowly, and gradually got farther and farther away from me, and found your mother, although she studied Western medicine, I didn't object to it. I am very happy, thinking that when my son grows up and gets married, he may understand my troubles. But I was wrong, your father came to the city, although he was still engaged in the business of medicinal materials related to traditional Chinese medicine, but he completely gave up the concept of our ancient family. Every time we went home, we had to quarrel, and we had a lot of quarrels. The relationship between me and your dad has faded. But the culture of China needs to be guarded by each and every one of us, and there are some things that need to be passed on, isn't it? I am reluctant to leave the knowledge left by my ancestors. ”

Gu Fan looked at his grandfather and nodded. "Yes, there are some things that we need to pass on, and we need to do a good job of bonding. Grandpa has guarded him for a lifetime, so I'll save the rest. ”

Gu Zheng stood up, and Gu Fan was just about to stand up. The old man waved his hand and motioned for Gu Fan to sit down, "You sit down first, and I'll go into the house and get something." ”

Gu Fan looked at the old man's rickety back and sighed. There is nothing wrong with what Grandpa did, and there is nothing wrong with Father, everyone has their own wants to go, rather than being dragged and arranged by others.

After a while, the old man walked out of the house, holding a mahogany box about 60 centimeters long, about 20 centimeters high, and about 40 centimeters wide.

Gu Fan hurriedly went up,. Go and help, put the box on the table.

Looking at this old box, Gu Fan was a little distracted. The contents of this box have been with him for more than ten years, and how can he not be familiar with them.

Gu Zheng touched the box, picked up the key and opened the box.

Looking at the old and yellowed books inside, stacked neatly inside.

"I've asked you to memorize these books since you were a child, and some of the knowledge in the books you can already master, but some you just know, but you can't use them proficiently. These things need to be passed on, I'm old, and I can't let the things of our ancestors be cut off by me. Gu Zheng picked up a book that said Tiangang 36 Acupuncture Medical Techniques, "In the four years since you left, I have been exposed to a lot of new things. The thinking of our generation is outdated, and even somewhat pedantic. ”

Gu Fan looked at his grandfather with a wave in his heart, since he was a child, his grandfather has never admitted that he missed it, what is wrong with grandpa?

"Some time ago, I learned to use a smartphone, and when I saw a news article about the bad guys in Chinese medicine, I opened it and looked at it. Looking at the comments below are all scolding Chinese medicine, grandpa feels pain. Gu Zheng slapped the table with tears in his eyes.

Gu Fan hurriedly helped the old man to sit down, "Grandpa doesn't need to be like this, Chinese medicine is not something that those people on the Internet can understand." ”

"Child, these books are handed over to you, I hope you can carry forward Chinese medicine. Gu Zheng held Gu Fan's hand and looked away from the box to look into Gu Fan's eyes.

Gu Fan nodded seriously, "Grandpa, don't worry, my dream since childhood is to carry forward Chinese medicine and let the world accept Chinese medicine again." ”

Gu Zheng nodded, "Child, our county is still small after all, and we can't develop our Chinese traditional Chinese medicine culture, and we can't accommodate you as a dragon." Go out, take these medical books, and go out. I hope that in my lifetime I will see the flourishing of Chinese medicine. ”

Gu Fan, who was going to stay at home for a while, looked at his grandfather's gaze and finally nodded reluctantly.

"Stay at home for the night today, and visit your parents in the city tomorrow. Gu Zheng stood up, sighed, and went back to the room.

Gu Fan understood that his grandfather was reluctant to let him leave, but the old man wanted Chinese medicine to be carried forward and didn't want him to delay at home for too long. Or that the longer Gu Fan stayed by his side, the more reluctant he was to let Gu Fan leave. Or the best option when you let yourself go in this way.
