7. Chapter VII

"Daddy!"

Lin Xingsheng patted his youngest son's back vigorously, "Your Uncle Zhao always told me not to worry about it, saying that you are very good in the medical hall, but I don't feel at ease if I don't see it with my own eyes." ”

"Uncle Zhao is about to let his father be stunned," Lin Hongming said.

"Big brother", Lin Hongwen squinted with a smile, "I'm doing well in the medical hall, Mrs. Xu is very good, let me stay here to do things, and give me a salary." ”

"Well, just look at your face and know you're much better", Lin Shiingshen said happily, "I bought some of your favorite food, you take it back and eat it with the people in the hospital." ”

"Dad, big brother, you wait for me for a while", Lin Hongwen took the things that Lin Xingshen gave, "I'll go to Dr. Lin to ask for half a day off." ”

"No, no," Lin said, "you should be busy with yours." ”

"No, it's rare for you to come over once", Lin Hongwen said and ran back to the hospital, and after a while, he ran out again, and took out some copper plates from his arms with a smile, "Let's go, let's eat something delicious!" ”

The grandfather found a restaurant near the miscellaneous market, ordered big fish and meat, and had the right to eat Chinese New Year's Eve. The three of them chatted while eating, and before they knew it, they ate until dark. Lin Xingshen took out some rubles and gave them to Lin Hongwen, "I see that in this market, there are more and more people who use Lao Maozi's money, and your brother and I have no place to spend money on weekdays, you take it, you can buy something if you want." ”

"Dad, I can't spend any money", Lin Hongwen pushed the money back, "You and your eldest brother should buy a few more sets of cotton clothes to replace, the cotton clothes are thinner." ”

"Bought it", Lin Xingshen forced the money into Lin Hongwen's hand, "Your Uncle Zhao talks to us all day long, let's not be afraid of spending money, buy a few more sets of cotton clothes, don't work fast, go into the house to warm up when it's cold, for fear that we will freeze and get sick." ”

"Uncle Zhao said", Lin Hongming cleared his throat and learned Zhao Shun's tone, "Don't just try to save money, what's the use of saving money?" If you freeze out of the problem, you can't spend any money! ”

Lin Hongwen listened to the music, "What Uncle Zhao said makes sense. ”

"So, if you give you the money, you will take it," said Lim, "and we will follow the road, and it will not be more lively than yours." You can't build a road for a lifetime, if you see a good way, you have a little money in your hand, and it's easy to do it. ”

Lin Hongwen obediently put away the money, "Dad, don't worry, I think there are more and more people, and there must be more and more ways." ”

"Well, it's good for you to pay attention to the dots", Lin said, "You have always been careful, and your vision is not bad, I am very relieved." ”

"Dad, you just said to follow the road, are you going to go somewhere else after the New Year?" Lin Hongwen asked.

"I haven't heard of it yet," said Lim, "but the railroad will definitely be built farther and farther, and then it will be impossible to tell where it will go." ”

Lin Hongwen nodded, and the three of them said some trivial things before they dispersed.

16.

There were very few people left in the hospital for the New Year, and Aunt Feng went home after cooking, and there was only a group of gentlemen left in the hospital to keep the New Year. Zheng Yun was warming the wine on the side, Cheng Yu was carefully picking meat to eat, Lin Hongwen was tirelessly looking at the idle book, Xu Shihuai shook his head, "You said that you are young, why can't anyone calm down and study medicine?" ”

"Master, look at what you said", Zheng Yun poured a glass of wine for Xu Shihuai, "The apprentice is not angry, but he also tried his best to study at the beginning, didn't you say that I have no talent and can't do this." ”

"You're embarrassed to say", Xu Shihuai unceremoniously picked up the wine cup and glanced at Zheng Yun, "If you don't practice medicine, then you can be regarded as accumulating great virtue." ”

Lin Hongwen put down the book in his hand and looked at Zheng Yun and Xu Shihuai blankly, not understanding what they meant.

"You too", Xu Shihuai said, "I read a book every day, and I have never seen you read a medical book." ”

Lin Hongwen pretended to smirk, "There are too many interesting books in the study, and I can't read them no matter how I look at them." ”

Xu Shihuai shook his head and looked at Cheng Yu again, "What about you?" ”

"I still have to learn to manage the accounts", Cheng Yu said with a smile, "It's a shame that you don't let me be busy with medicine, otherwise I won't have time." ”

Lin Hongwen subconsciously glanced at Cheng Yu, not knowing if he was too careful or if he really had something to say. Xu Shihuai sighed, "It seems that we can only wait for that little rabbit cub to come back." ”

"That's right," Zheng Yun said, "Master, Qingzhi went to England to study medicine, and when he returns from this study, he will definitely be even more powerful when he combines the two swords of Chinese medicine with you." ”

"I don't know what he has learned", Xu Shihuai's mouth was unforgiving, but his eyes were full of expectations.

When a few people reached the seed, they cooked dumplings and ate them, and then went to sleep. Lin Hongwen has never been so lonely since he was a child, even in the years when the harvest is not good, the children always get together for most of the night. He lay on the bed and thought that Lin Shiing's side must be much more lively.

To say that Lin Xingshen's side is really lively, these two days of holiday, everyone went to buy a bunch of New Year's goods, and they are drinking wine and eating meat at this time, thinking about what will happen next year.

Lin Hongwen's New Year passed quietly, there were few people in the hospital, and he spent most of his time in the study. Xu Shihuai was also rarely idle, seeing that Lin Hongwen was reading all day long, and his hands were itchy, so he also went into the study to sort out the medical books.

This lazy and lazy person will reach the fifth day of the new year. In the morning, Zheng Yun set off a firecracker at the door, and as soon as he closed the door with his front foot, he heard someone knocking on the door with his back foot. Zheng Yun hesitated for a moment and opened the door, a girl fell at the door, her clothes were ragged, and she didn't even have a pair of shoes on her feet on such a cold day, Zheng Yun was so frightened that she hurriedly called Xu Shihuai over.

Xu Shihuai glanced at it and turned around and scolded Zheng Yun: "What are you calling blindly, if you have the time to quickly get people involved." ”

After entering the house, Xu Shihuai checked the girl's pulse, frowned and said nothing. Zheng Yun said, "Master, what's wrong with her?" ”

Xu Shihuai said, "It's not a big deal, it's mainly that I'm hungry and a little cold", turned his head and shouted at Lin Hongwen who was standing at the door, "Go and call your Aunt Feng." ”

Lin Hongwen ran out of the hospital hall with a smoke, crossed two streets, and called Aunt Feng out of the house. Aunt Feng still wondered, "What can happen to the New Year?" ”

Lin Hongwen said, "I don't know, so Dr. Xu said let me call you." ”

The two arrived at the hospital in a daze, Xu Shihuai said to Aunt Feng, "You take her inside, boil some hot water to wipe her body, and then find clean clothes to change into, and throw away the set on her body." ”

Aunt Feng nodded in response and took the girl back to the inner room. After a while, he walked out again and whispered a few words to Xu Shihuai, Lin Hongwen stood far away and couldn't hear clearly, but he looked at Aunt Feng with some curiosity and hurriedly entered the room after muttering.

At lunchtime, the girl had woken up, and although she was wearing coarse cloth clothes, she was a delicate girl who washed her face and combed her hair. She saluted Xu Shihuai, saying that her name is Yuan Ting, she is twelve years old this year, she originally came to Kanto with her parents, but she got separated halfway, and then met human traffickers, and finally found a chance to escape, and ran for a long time to see the hospital before daring to ask for help.

"And where are you from? What does the family do? Xu Shihuai asked, "After the New Year, I will ask someone to help you inquire." ”

"My hometown is in Heze, Shandong", Yuan Ting said, "My family originally had a few acres of thin fields, but there was a disaster, so I had to come to Kanto to beg for a living." ”

"It's not easy to find someone for the Chinese New Year," Xu Shihuai said, "You stay in the hospital for a few days, and then look for it after the New Year." ”

Yuan Ting saluted and thanked her again, Xu Shihuai beckoned her to sit down to eat, swept around the people on the table, and finally stopped his eyes on Lin Hongwen, and then looked at Yuan Ting, "Your Aunt Feng has to be fifteen years before she can come over, if there is anything to do in the past few days, just look for Brother Lin Hongwen sitting next to you, he is the youngest in the hospital, it doesn't matter how old you are, you don't have to be too restrained." ”

Yuan Ting responded, looked at Lin Hongwen, and smiled lightly at him, "There is Brother Lao." ”

Lin Hongwen was a little embarrassed, but just nodded silently.

17.

Although Yuan Ting is young, it is not a problem to take care of herself. She could only talk to Lin Hongwen in the infirmary, and when she saw that Lin Hongwen was staying in the study all day, she also followed. Lin Hongwen saw that she took the book from the bookshelf and read it attentively, and was a little curious, so he asked her if she was literate. Yuan Ting read a paragraph when Lin Hongwen looked down on her, and the words were accurate. Lin Hongwen didn't ask anymore, and only told her to put it back where she got it, don't mess up.

To say that Lin Hongwen is at the age when he is ignorant about the affairs of men and women, and suddenly there is a clear and beautiful girl around him, he feels awkward. Yuan Ting didn't talk much, but she always had a smile in her eyes when she spoke, Lin Hongwen felt embarrassed when he saw her laughing, and Yuan Ting teased him as soon as he was embarrassed, and in the end he always turned red. Lin Hongwenxin said that this looks like I am a few years older than her, and it is clear that the eldest sister is teasing the younger brother. But after a few times, Lin Hongwen got used to it, Yuan Ting teased him, and he kept silent. Yuan Ting thought that he was thin-skinned and angry, and his brother, his brother's screaming, coaxing with good words. Lin Hongwen looked at her pitiful appearance, and couldn't help but talk to her again.

"My brother's skin can't be so thin", Yuan Ting said with a smile, "otherwise I won't be able to get a daughter-in-law." ”

"Don't bother", Lin Hongwen glanced at her, and said in his heart that it was better to ignore her.

"I heard Dr. Xu say that my brother is young, how old is he this year?" Yuan Ting was not annoyed, "Have you ever been married?" What kind of daughter-in-law do you want to be? ”

"You ask so many questions at once, how can I answer?"

"So, how old is my brother?"

"Fifteen."

"Have you ever been married?"

"Nope."

"What kind of daughter-in-law do you want to beg?"

This...... Lin Hongwen closed the book, there have been disasters year after year over the years, and he has eaten one meal and the next, and he has never had the leisure to think about these things at all. Several handsome women he had seen along the way flashed in his mind, and he couldn't tell for a while.

"What does my brother think? Could it be that you have someone you like? Yuan Ting tugged on Lin Hongwen's sleeve.

Lin Hongwen glanced at her and sighed, "I just hope that she won't talk so much like you." ”
