17. Ancestors

Because of the pulse, Xiang Ange's winter vacation was extraordinarily busy, and the old people in the village did not necessarily believe that he would see a doctor, but everyone liked to join in a lively meeting, and everyone looked for him to check the pulse, and if he didn't go, it seemed that he couldn't keep up with the big pace.

Of course, Xiang Ange has not yet had a medical qualification certificate, and he will not rashly prescribe medicine to others, at this time he obviously does not have so much confidence in himself, if he really has a pulse out of the problem, he is still hesitant to confirm, or let people go to the hospital for examination, in fact, not to mention him, now in a large Chinese medicine hospital, the doctor takes the pulse is also an auxiliary project, if you really want to confirm, it is usually based on Western medicine laboratory methods.

Although he can't prescribe medicine, but say some usual maintenance methods, there is no big problem with dietary taboos, just like the list of medicinal diets he sent to the village chief's grandfather later, it looks simple, in fact, if you take it for a long time, the effect will not be worse than ordinary medicines, of course, the preparation of medicinal diets also has a lot of exquisiteness, to achieve perfection, it is difficult to be a professional.

Since Xiang Ange took the pulse of people to see a doctor, Xiang Antai no longer went out to run around, and stayed by his brother's side every day, bringing him tea and water plus wiping sweat or something, it was a little look of admiration and pride, and it was funny to see Xiang Ange's heart, and he was also happy to be able to become a younger brother's pride.

The winter vacation is very fulfilling, and when the winter vacation is about to end, most of the people in the village have asked him to take the pulse, even the children are no exception, one of them is to Antai a force to ask, although it is a free service, Xiang Ange is also very happy, one is to give them a physical examination, and the other is to accumulate a lot of valuable experience, in addition to the people in the village who believe in him, who will let a student who has only studied medicine for half a year to see a doctor.

Not to mention, during this time, he really checked out a few patients, most of them are geriatric diseases, usually do not pay much attention, and rural people do not go to physical examinations. Wait for Xiang Ange to say, and then go to the hospital to check, ho, the three high standards, if you don't take good care of it, I'm afraid you will get cerebral congestion sooner or later.

With the release of these old people's hospital checklists, the people in the village no longer have that joking attitude towards Xiang Ange, although it is not an incurable disease, but at least it means that this child is not talking nonsense, and there are some real skills in his hands.

Rural people are the most obedient scholars, Xiang Ange was originally a student of the Medical Academy, and now he still has these skills, he is simply regarded as half a doctor, and the little doctor is also less joking and more serious.

"Brother, how am I doing today?" Since he knew his brother's ability, Xiang Antai got up every morning, and asked Xiang Ange to take his pulse, which was very arrogant.

Xiang Ange couldn't help but smile, pinched his younger brother's cheek, and said with a smile: "It's good, it's just that it's a little malnourished, it's better to eat more." ”

Xiang Antai pouted, he didn't feel malnourished at all, but his brother had been so thin that he lacked nutrition.

The two brothers, who were not nutritious, ate breakfast face to face, and there were not only eggs but also milk, which was given by the families of the elderly who had been found to be sick, and they were not allowed to refuse to accept it.

After eating and drinking, the Xiang Ange brothers dressed up and carried their things to the grave and prepared to go out. Originally, it was not good to go to the grave in the first month, but Xiang Ange did not have these taboos, in his opinion, he was about to leave the house again, and before leaving, he had to go to see his grandmother, let her know that the two brothers were doing well, so that she could rest assured under Jiuquan.

With such thoughts, Xiang Ange held a snack offering in one hand, and pulled his younger brother Wang Mountain in the other hand, it snowed heavily on the first day of the new year, and now although the snow has almost melted, the dirt roads in the countryside are still a little difficult to walk, especially the road up the mountain, which is stepped out by people, there are no steps at all, and it is even more slippery step by step.

Finally climbed up the mountain, Xiang Ange breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at his brother, and began to clean up the two graves. It had been several months since he had last visited, and there were some weeds growing on the side of the graves, which had withered in winter, but Xiang Ange still reached out and plucked them little by little, and carefully wiped the two graves with a towel.

The grave in winter has a hint of cold and empty, Xiang Ange cleaned up, and at the same time babbled to tell the things that have happened in the past six months clearly, Xiang Antai also added a sentence next to him, just like when Grandma Xiang was still there, the two children went home every day, and she had to ask carefully.

After setting up the offerings, Xiang Ange's mood had fallen silent, and the grief of his grandmother's death seemed to be gone, he touched his brother's head, and once again assured them: "Grandma, Mom and Dad, I will definitely take good care of my brother, don't worry." ”

Xiang Antai stretched out his hand to hold his brother's palm, nodded and said: "Grandma, Mom and Dad, I will also listen to my brother's words well, study hard and grow up quickly, when I grow up, I will be able to take care of my brother, don't let my brother be so tired, my brother has lost weight recently, grandma, if you can support your dreams, you will tell my brother in my dream to take good care of yourself, and my brother will not listen to what I say." ”

Xiang Ange pinched his brother's cheek helplessly, and said with a smile: "You still complain." ”

Xiang Antai covered his cheeks aggrievedly, and said hesitantly: "Isn't it, everyone says that my brother is getting thinner and thinner because he takes care of me." ”

Xiang Ange sighed, knowing that someone must have gossiped in front of his younger brother, this is not good in the countryside, although there are many enthusiastic people, but there are also some who can't see the good of others, and deliberately say sour things in front of others.

"They deliberately lied to you, you forgot, when you were a kid, they lied to you that you picked it up from the trash."

Xiang Antai thought about it, it seemed that there was really such a thing, not only him, but the rest of the children were also deceived like this, and the children were finally in a better mood, grinning.

Xiang Ange was afraid that he would really go to his heart, so he naturally emphasized again and again that he had become thinner because he had grown muscles and his fat had disappeared.

The brothers stayed on the mountain for more than an hour, and then walked down slowly, passing by the place where they had fallen, Xiang Ange couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart: "Zijin, this is the place where I picked up the Fortune Bead, at that time I saw the stone at a glance, and I always felt very kind." ”

Zi Jin in the Fortune Bead looked around through his eyes, this is an ordinary dirt slope, whether it is from the scenery and humanities, or from the perspective of Feng Shui numerology, it is ordinary to the extreme, burying the ancestors here, it is not much help to the descendants, it stands to reason that such a special spiritual object as the Fortune Bead will not appear in such a place, however, originally this Fortune Bead appeared because of Xiang Ange, and it is not uncommon to appear in any place.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Seeing Xiang Ange pause in a daze, Xiang Antai couldn't help but ask, Xiang Ange came back to his senses suddenly, couldn't help but smile, touched his brother's head, and said, "It's nothing, I just thought that my brother met a very important person here." ”

Xiang Antai said that he couldn't understand it but Xiang Ange didn t say anything more, and pulled his younger brother back but it was within the Fortune Bead the corners of Zi Jin s mouth were slightly hooked that kind of happy mood even affected the fog around him Is it an important person It turns out that in his heart, he is so important.

The two brothers walked back hand in hand, talking and laughing in a good mood, who knew that as soon as they walked into the village, they saw Xiang Yuan's family walking in from outside the village, and the two parties happened to meet on a narrow road.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiang Ange still went to his uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings, after all, he was a junior, and the two families were still close relatives, but at that time, Xiang Yuan's family actually went to his mother-in-law's house as a guest on the first day of the new year, so Xiang Ange could only put down his things and leave.

At this time, Xiang Ange saw that their family was beaming, so he smiled and shouted, "Uncle and aunt, Chen Bo, happy new year." ”

Xiang Antai is a child after all, and he has always known that his uncle's family doesn't like him, so he hides behind Xiang Ange and doesn't call anyone at the moment.

Xiang Yuan, who was on the other side, smiled and said, "Xiaoyuan, do you want to go to your uncle's house to sit down." ”

Chen Li obviously didn't plan to greet the two little boys, and said with a sneer: "Yo, you won't go up the mountain with a foot of mud in the morning, and you won't be unlucky for the New Year." ”

Hearing this, Xiang Ange's face also became gloomy, he didn't care that his uncle and aunt treated him coldly, because although they were relatives, they had no obligation to treat themselves well after all. But Grandma Xiang is their biological mother, how can she be insulted casually.

Fortunately, Xiang Yuan is still a brain, and when he saw his nephew's face sank, he couldn't help but shout: "What nonsense, Ange, don't care about your aunt's words, she has no intentions, let's go, go home first." ”

After saying this, Xiang Yuan no longer mentioned letting the two nephews sit at home, and walked away directly with his wife and son, and Chen Li's sharp voice could still be heard in the distance: "I'm not wrong, how can there be a grave for the New Year, it's really bad luck to hit the opposite side at this time, hum." ”

Xiang Ange's face was a little ugly, and Xiang Antai turned his head and glared fiercely, but in the end, the brothers didn't catch up and quarrel, because they both knew that it was definitely not what Grandma Xiang wanted to see.

probably noticed that Xiang Ange was in a bad mood, and after a while, Zijin suddenly spoke: "A talented woman, with sharp eyebrows and eyes, does not cultivate morality, such a person is old and helpless, and his children are not filial, and he is destined to run around." ”

Hearing this, Xiang Ange put Fang Cai's unhappiness behind him, and asked, "Zijin, do you still show people?" ”

Zi Jin choked slightly, he didn't expect Xiang Ange to say a word, and directly classified himself as a fortune teller who did not enter the stream, and he was a little angry in his heart, but listening to his excited voice, he just said: "Sort of." ”

When he said this, Xiang Ange took it as his acquiescence, and silently transformed Zijin from a miracle doctor who read medical books to a fortune teller who knew astronomy and geography, and thought of what he said, even if he had a good temperament, he couldn't help but gloat a little, hum, his aunt said all day long how good Chen Bo was, and he would be an unfilial person in the future, and he had always believed in Zijin's words.
