Chapter 2:

Zhang Jin's hometown is in Nanshan Town, a small town farthest away from Dongyang County, which is very famous in the local area, including the entire Beijin City, and almost no one knows about this place, but this fame is not a compliment. Although after the 21st century, it gradually got rid of poverty and became rich because of the large amount of land and farming, but in the late 90s and early 21st century, it was really a place that was reluctant to throw away even the detached boogers in the mouth in the words of the old peasants.

Zhang Jin was born in such a poor and picky town, oh! Wrong, it should be a mountain lump called Woniu Village under the jurisdiction of the town.

The mountain pimple is explained in Mandarin as the meaning of mountain nest or mountain col.

However, Zhang Jin himself has absolutely no inferiority complex when he says that people in the mountains are poor and have an inferiority complex when he goes out, because on their side, Woniu Village is a well-known big village. It is said that the population alone is ten times that of the largest of the nearby natural villages.

What does the big village symbolize? For the mountain people who have never seen the world, it is glory, it is the capital of pride, and when they fight with other villages, they are particularly imposing.

So when it comes to living in a mountain lump or something, Zhang Jin really doesn't have an inferiority complex in his heart as a mountain person in a poor country.

Not to mention that Zhang Jin's family is also well-known in Woniu Village, because his grandfather is a famous old carpenter in Woniu Village, and people from Woniu Village and nearby villages, whenever there is a carpenter job, almost all of them can find his grandfather. His father later became a well-known mason in the village, and now he is also the head of the local contractor, although even then he does not make as much money as anyone from outside. But the labor force of two families who can earn extra money still makes people in the surrounding villages envious and stammering.

At the end of the eighties, when there was a famine, every family in the village could not eat food for half a year, but their family could have meat once a month, of course, this meat also had Zhang Jin's grandfather, that is, his grandfather's credit.

Compared with Zhang Jin's grandfather and father, his grandfather's profession is very decent, although he is unlicensed, but in the nineties, let alone Nanshan Town, which is 90% of the villages in Dongyang County, you can't find a few licensed doctors.

That's right, Zhang Jin's grandfather Zhang Liangyun was a famous barefoot doctor in later generations.

Don't underestimate this barefoot doctor, when the certificate thing has not yet ruled the world, when the country has not stipulated that you cannot practice medicine without a license, most of the time when everyone is sick, the first thing to believe is them.

Although compared with the barefoot doctors in other villages, Zhang Liangyun, a barefoot doctor, likes to use traditional Chinese medicine for everyone many times, but traditional Chinese medicine is not cheaper. When you don't have any money, you can go up the mountain to pick some and ask the doctor how to take it.

Even in the primary school textbooks of the 90s, the S Huiist G. family had told us that Chinese medicine was superstition and witchcraft, but the trust of people above the middle-aged age was not much shaken. The Chinese have trusted this for 5,000 years, could it be that this thing can deceive our ancestors for 10,000 years? And Zhang Jin's grandfather Zhang Liangyun does have some skills in medical skills, even people in the town and even the county come here, and he can often get rid of the disease quickly.

However, as the successor of socialism, Zhang Jin is still disdainful, he resolutely resists the 'soup' behavior of a witch and wizard, even when he has a cold and fever, his grandfather's bowl of medicine makes him refreshed, even before junior high school, he has memorized the Four Books and Five Classics of China, the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, etc. Knowing that Chinese medicine is not a superstition.

But, as his mother said, his son is a stubborn elm pimple, and as long as he hates it, he resolutely classifies it as unreasonable. And you can also find a lot of reasons to complain about its danger. Want to change him, unless you use violence to coerce.

The last sentence is the point, exposing Zhang Jin's other character, that is, timidity. Nonsense, you have been beaten in violence since you were a child, and you will also be timid.

So from another aspect, the biggest reason why Zhang Jin doesn't like Chinese medicine may be that he was forced to learn too much about Chinese medicine when he was a child.

Therefore, Zhang Jin has always thought that he is more unlucky, why if he is the second son in the family, if he gives birth a year early, or two or three years later, he will be relieved?

Speaking of this, I have to mention Zhang Jin's grandfather Zhang Liangyun and his fucking origin.

It is said that this old man also has a legendary experience, otherwise he would not have been sent here with his teenage daughter back then.

However, what the legend of the old man is, he has never said. Most of the speculation circulating in the village is people's speculation. But the old man knows martial arts and is a 'miracle doctor', which has also been verified by everyone.

After that was over, the old man didn't take his daughter back, and even married his daughter directly to the little carpenter, the son of the old carpenter in the village. But when the two got married, the old man made a request to the old carpenter, that is, Zhang Jin's grandfather, that is, after the two got married, the second son must take his mother's surname, and then inherit his inheritance.

Grandpa Zhang Jin agreed to this request without saying a word, not because both of them are surnamed Zhang, and whoever has the surname is Zhang. But the old carpenter is old and sophisticated, and knows that this old man has real skills, and those real skills are much more decent than his carpenter's work. It is not good to say that his grandson will be famous in the world in the future.

Anyway, the grandson's surname can't be changed, and what he left behind is the blood of their old Zhang family, uh, okay! Both in-laws have the surname Zhang, or Gong Changzhang, and even the procedure of changing their surnames is exempted.

Zhang Jin was unlucky, he happened to be the second son of the little carpenter and Zhang Liangyun's daughter, and naturally he was also very 'unlucky' to inherit the old man's inheritance. It is said that they are also the descendants of the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing. Well, even if you know that he doesn't feel anything, what does the medical saint in history have to do with him? and we can't let him get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, and we can't let him eat meat all at once.

Zhang Jin returned home smoothly, and when he got home, his eldest brother Zhang Junbao and younger brother Zhang Jingpeng, who were closer to home and returned home early, had already gone to the ground to help. Only the seven-year-old sister Zhang Xiao was left at home, dozing off, sitting on the edge of the rice field and looking at the rice dried at home, not to be eaten by other people's chickens, ducks or pigs.

Zhang Jin's family has a total of five sisters, brothers and sisters, and in this mountain lump where almost every household has more than three children, it is actually nothing.

Zhang Jin's eldest sister was injured after giving birth to her first child because her parents got married too early, and she didn't have any more children until a few years later, so the age difference between her and her younger brothers was a little bigger, and she was thirteen years older than her youngest sister. Of course, their little sister was brought back by her grandfather from the outside, and everyone in the family knows it except for the little sister herself. But he was still seven or eight years older than his youngest brother.

However, since then, the growth process of several younger brothers has also been attributed to this eldest sister. Because of the age difference between her younger brothers and the fact that she only went to junior high school in her early years, she began to help the family, so she is 21 years old this year, and she also married a merchant in the town last spring. It's just that Zhang's mother asked the man for a lot of gift money when she got married, which made the eldest sister think that she was sold, and now she is almost unwilling to go back to her parents' house except for the New Year's holidays.

But Zhang Jin knew that Zhang's mother did this on purpose, because she once said in front of her sons that her old man was not optimistic about the eldest sister's family business from beginning to end, but the eldest sister insisted on going her own way, and she could only be a villain first and then a gentleman, and start first, and find the man to ask for more money, just in case, in the future, the other party will abandon the mess, and her daughter will not be able to do anything.

The brothers of the Zhang family are very supportive of this, and Zhang Jin, his eldest brother and the little bandit brother also said that as long as the person is sorry for their eldest sister, they will go to put on each other's sacks.

Don't look at Zhang Jin's younger brother Zhang Wenhao is only fourteen years old now, not to mention the fat and strong man, even his personality has nothing to do with the word Wenhao, and he is a bandit.

Fortunately, this bandit is only for outsiders, and he is always naughty to his family, so he followed his parents to the field at this time.

Seeing the second brother coming back from a distance with a pink woolly bear, Zhang Xiao, the little sister of the Zhang family who was sitting on the edge of the rice field and languishing, jumped up with a spirit, and her eyes were almost gone, and then flew over like a bird.

But when he got closer, he hesitated and didn't dare to step forward, he looked at the woolly bear in the second brother's hand curiously and timidly, and said stupidly: "Second, second brother, you, your hairy bear is really, really good-looking." ”

"Yes." Zhang Jin responded lightly, and casually stuffed the furry bear in his hand.

Looking at the furry bear that was approaching suddenly, Zhang Xiao seemed to can't believe his eyes, hesitated and didn't dare to stretch out his hand, and finally looked at his expressionless second brother, and then looked at the furry bear, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of the toy, and took it.

"Hey, hey!" Zhang Xiaomei hugged Maomao Xiong and smiled stupidly, "Second brother, I'll play for a while." ”

"Here you go."

"Really! But, didn't the eldest brother say that this is so expensive? Although I like it, Zhang Xiao is a sensible child, so I thought that the hairy bear must be very expensive, and my face hurt.

"It's not expensive." Zhang Jin pursed his lips, his expressionless face, if he looked carefully, his eyes were full of smiles.

"Really not expensive? But the eldest brother said that it would cost more than 100 yuan. It's so expensive, it's so expensive! ”

Zhang Jin didn't speak again, he felt that if he explained to his sister, the other party would definitely get to the bottom of it, and then it would be endless. And my mother will definitely have to ask about this matter again, so she simply won't say anything.

Zhang Xiao saw that the second brother ignored him, knowing that he must not want to talk again, and he was not angry, hugged the woolly bear, happily followed the second brother, like a small repeater, repeating the words that Zhang's mother explained when she went out to the second brother.

I was still excited to think that the second brother was really like what my mother said, and he was the gentlest of his three elder brothers.
