Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Back
Qiancheng, which is surrounded by mountains and runs through the fault basin, is mainly mountainous and hilly, surrounded by overlapping mountains and undulating hills, forming dense streams and rivers. The terrain is high and low in the periphery, high in the south and low in the north.
The sun is shining in the morning, and the pink cherry blossoms by the river are blooming brightly, and you can only really feel the arrival of spring in a place surrounded by mountains like your hometown.
After breakfast, Wang Yi and his wife went out of the house under the advice of their mother.
Wang Yi carried a hoe on his shoulders and two sacks, following behind his father's buttocks, just like when he was a child.
But staring at his father's back, he found that his father, who was originally tall and heroic in his impression, unknowingly, his back had been bent over the years, his hair was half-white, and the wrinkles on his face were like knife carvings.
Wang Yi's heart is a little sour, when he is working outside, he rarely calls home, and he only stays at home for ten days during the Chinese New Year every year, don't his parents want to be himself? Definitely not, but, they won't say it, just bury their thoughts in the bottom of their hearts, occasionally receive a call from their children, can be comfortable for several days, if you don't call home every other month and a half, the old man may not be able to sleep, insomnia, but they still won't tell you, just secretly in their hearts, at this time if you call back, they may talk to you lightly, maybe they will be impatient to say don't waste the phone bill, but, put down the phone in a blink of an eye, They will be able to sleep soundly tonight.
Wang Yi looked at his father who was getting old, and secretly warned himself in his heart that his parents were getting old, and they needed more care from themselves, and they needed more greetings and companionship, and they should do their best to make their parents happier, and not wait for their children to be raised and not treated, leaving lifelong regrets.
……
Wang Yi listened to the old story told by his father for more than ten years, and he was not impatient at all, and slapped two sycophants from time to time, which made the old man very happy, but he felt that this kid was really on the road today, and he didn't block Lao Tzu, but he didn't think that Wang Yi was actually churning in his heart.
The old man is a little narcissistic, Wang Yi has rarely been praised by his father since he was a child, since he was in junior high school, including his younger brother, he has always been despised by his father for IQ, which is also one of the places that hurt Wang Yi's eggs, in the words of the old man: Just like practicing martial arts, when you apprentice, the master can learn what you practice once, and your two brothers have taught me I don't know how many times since I was a child, and even two or three sets of punches are not good, it's really embarrassing.
So the old man has always been the smartest person in the family, and only Wang Yi's younger brother Wang Hong has always raised the bar with his father, sometimes in order to prove who is smarter, and burns the war on the chessboard, but in terms of chess strength, Wang Yi's brother and the two of them are dealing with his father, and it is also a ten-loss **, which also boosts the old man's "arrogance".
After walking for half an hour, the two crossed a bridge across the Gongjiang River and came to the opposite bank, surrounded by mountains, large and small hills, with endless treasures hidden on the mountains, waiting to be discovered by those who knew the goods.
Digging medicine up the mountain is a technical job, but also a hard work, fortunately Wang Yi's physique far beyond the past, but not tired to lie down, because of Wang Yi's strength, today's harvest is very good, less than two hours, Wang Yi brought two sacks have been full.
In fact, Wang Yi knew that his father had long wanted to pass on his craft of traditional Chinese medicine, and these medicinal materials dug up in his own mountains were not recorded in many urban medical books, which were passed down by Wang Yi's ancestors from generation to generation.
The ancestors are also the father took his son up the mountain to identify the medicinal materials, and then explain the efficacy, this is called "picking green", and only when you pick the green, and then dig more medicine, you can remember the characteristics of these medicinal materials, the effect to your mind, Wang Yi's father and six brothers, now can rely on this craft to eat, there is only their own old man left, and several other uncles are either conformist and a little flexible, and are unwilling to learn new knowledge to enrich themselves, or they are lazy when they were young, did not pick green, and have lost all this craft.
Today, the old man is obviously very interested, Wang Yi used to go home, the old man was very dissatisfied with his physical condition, and today obviously let him see Wang Yi's healthy and energetic appearance, which made him happier than seeing his good health, and today when Wang Yi explained the efficacy and performance of medicinal materials, efficacy characteristics, and precautions, it was obvious that his attention was more concentrated and his memory was also improved a lot.
In fact, this kind of green picking, the master has carried out more than once, but many times the efficacy of a drug was introduced earlier, and the next moment the two brothers forgot about it, and the old man was also very helpless, this is also a matter of interest, Wang Yi and the two brothers had no interest in Chinese medicine before, so naturally they couldn't learn it.
But today's performance made him very satisfied, along the way, dozens of medicinal materials that can be used often, he explained each of them once, and when he was tested again, Wang Yi was able to recite them all in one go.
In fact, the old man didn't know that Wang Yi's genetic development at this time had reached level 1, which was already 5 times the average level of human beings on the earth, and his natural memory had also increased by 5 times. The understanding of these medicinal materials is even more thorough than that of my father.
Of course, Wang Yi will not show off in front of his father at this time, in his heart, his father is the smartest in the family, and he will definitely be in the future...... Embarrassment!
Not long after the beginning of spring, the plants all over the field have pulled out new branches, and there is the fragrance of flowers everywhere.
Wang Yi and the old man saw that the two sacks were full, and they didn't continue to dig greedily, but they didn't rush back, Wang Yi picked them one by one with a hoe, followed his father and kept looking for new medicinal materials, and then taught him how to identify them, as well as the use of these medicinal materials, characteristics and habits, all explained to him in detail.
Watching his father walk in front with a small branch, constantly fiddling in the grass, looking for medicinal materials, Wang Yi knew that he must be very happy in his heart, and he probably wanted to take advantage of his own enlightenment and stuff more things into his mind, and it is estimated that he has not struggled to pick up more than 200 catties, and he also wants to take the school examination to see how long he can last, you know, more than 200 catties, in fact, Wang Yi's father would not take it seriously when he was young, so the old man did not ask Wang Yi if he would be tired of carrying such a heavy weight.
The sun is mild, sprinkled on the earth, shining on the body of the father and son, the beautiful scenery in the mountains, the green trees and red flowers, and it is extraordinarily harmonious.
……
"Why did you come back so late!" When I got home, Wang Yi's mother was a little dissatisfied, and it was already half past twelve.
"The old woman is less verbose, she feels tight to serve the food, and she is starving!" The old man, in a good mood, shouted loudly.
"It's been done a long time ago, next time I'll come back so late, see if I don't pour it out." Mom was nagging, but her hands were not slow, and after a while, the food was already served.
Wang Yi watched his father and mother bickering, and felt quite interesting, husband and wife for decades, although they sometimes quarrel, but their relationship is still very good.
Looking at the sumptuous meals, many dishes are what I like to eat, and I know that my mother is specially made for me delicious, no matter what delicious food I have eaten outside, when I return home, the food made by my mother is more delicious.
As a result, Wang Yi ate 5 bowls of this meal, 5 bowls, 5 bowls......
……
"Xiao Da Beauty, where are you? Oh yes, I'm coming out, right away, hehe, okay, okay, can't I run? Okay, I'll be there right away, hang up first! Wang Yi answered the phone and trotted out.
Today it has been two days since the last time I went up the mountain, and the medicinal materials that I picked back last time have all been processed with Wang Yi's efforts in the past two days.
At the same time, today is the time to make an appointment with Xiao Mei to attend the wedding at the same table, and Xiao Mei's call has already come early in the morning.
