During the trip to Jiangnan for three consecutive years, Long Dan became more and more healthy after the old man's hair and marrow. The construction of the reservoir has greatly alleviated the current situation of water shortage in the area of Longjia Bay. With water in the fields, the producers have increased, and the number of farmers growing cash crops has increased, and life is no longer as poor as in previous years. With the improvement of life, the vegetable green on the faces of Longjiawan people is gone, and they are replaced by the ruddy faces of their faces. Xiaolongdan is the time to grow his body, and being able to eat a full meal is indeed a great benefit to Xiaolongdan. Although white noodles are not eaten often, corn cob noodles and pancakes are not rare, and with dried sweet potatoes and sorghum cakes, it is by no means a problem to eat a full meal.

The people of Longjiawan are no longer so eager to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, and they can still sell at a good price in the local market and the county market. Although, it is still not possible to grow and buy and sell with great fanfare. At least, by trading secretly, ordinary people can exchange a hundred or eighty yuan in cash every year, but there is no problem in living frugally.

Long Dan was six years old, and Long Xin discussed with his wife that he wanted Long Dan to go to school. In the eyes of the peasants, going to school is the right way. Longjiawan people, who have been farming for generations, have only two ways to get rid of repairing the earth since liberation, one is to become a soldier, and the state will arrange a formal job after changing jobs, and the other is to go to school and earn a living.

The primary school in the village also has a new teacher, the new teacher is named He Qi, the niece of the old teacher He, and it is said that she is also a private teacher who is entrusted to the relationship. He Qi is none other than Mr. He's niece who is married to Brother Long Dan.

Long Dan is 6 years old, and his stature is already taller than other children of the same age, but he is still very naughty. On this day, Long Dan was having a water fight with his companions in the small pond in the west of the village, and was having a good time. I saw Teacher He Qi come over and say to Xiao Longdan: "Long Dan, didn't your mother let you go to school today to report to school, why are you still playing here?" Xiaolongdan stuck out his tongue and said, "Forget", "What forgot, I see you are playful, go, go to school" Teacher He Qi said and took his Xiaolongdan's arm and pulled him to school.

Longjiawan Primary School has less than fifty or sixty students in total, and there are only a dozen students in each grade. The population of Longjiawan is not very large, so it would be nice to have a school in the village. The old teacher is Mr. He, who graduated from the normal school, is the principal and teacher, and there is a substitute teacher named Xu Xin, who is the nephew of the secretary Xu Fu. Although he is a substitute teacher, he is well paid, and he is twice the work of young strong laborers after a day's class. The day's work was two cents, and the income was six dollars a month, which was already very good at that time. Therefore, the errand of substitute teacher is not something that ordinary people can get.

As for Teacher He Qi, he graduated from junior high school and did not go to high school, and the matter of going to university was abolished at the beginning of the cultural movement, and it doesn't matter if he can't go to school, he can become a private teacher, and it is also Mr. He's relationship with the commune education group.

Xiao Long Dan was forcibly dragged to school by his future sister-in-law, and in the case of coaxing and deceiving and scarering, Xiao Long Dan did not skip school to play, and honestly went to school in the classroom. Because Long Dan knew a lot of words before school, coupled with the relationship between his future sister-in-law, Xiao Long Dan was designated as the class president of the first grade. Xiao Longdan's squad leader also deserves to be clear-eyed, plus Long Dan's villain book still plays a lot of magic, Xiao Longdan's squad leader career is also smooth, and Long Dan's future sister-in-law, Teacher He Qi, everyone looks at it differently.

As the months passed, the weather gradually became cold in late autumn and early winter. On this day, Long Dan came home from school and came to the main room of his father in the north house, there was already an old man with a beard sitting at the table in the hall, Long Dan looked at it: "Grandpa, why are you here" Long Dan asked in surprise. "Why can't I come? Xiaolongdan, hahaha," the bearded old man said with a smile. It turned out that the bearded old man fulfilled his promise and came to Qilu Province in Jiangbei from the far south of the Yangtze River. Come and prepare to teach Xiaolongdan medicine and the way of martial arts.

The bearded old man has lived in the West Wing since then. Long Dan's family has also built several houses in the past two years, the original recipe only has three north houses, two rooms Long Xin and two people live, it is the main house, there is a suite in the main house for storing food, and then there is a firewood room, which is for cooking, and a north house is for the third brother to live, and now the children are older, and it is too crowded to live together. Longxin built two north rooms, two west wings, and a small east wing room year by year. No one lives in this west wing, and the bearded old man is just right. There is a door outside the west wing that is open to the medicine shop, and it is also convenient for outsiders to come to the bearded elderly to see a doctor.

After the old man lived down, Long Xin asked the carpenter to make a Chinese medicine cabinet according to the arrangement of the old man, and also made a table for medical office.

Of course, the old man did not come to Longjiawan to practice medicine, but mainly to teach Longdan. It's just that the people live on food, and there is absolutely no problem in practicing medicine to earn some money by the way.

One night, when there was no one after dinner, the old man called Long Dan to his room to start the apprenticeship ceremony. After Long Dan respectfully kowtowed three times, the old man introduced himself to Long Dan: "Our door is called the True Qi Gate, which was created by the ancestors of our Long family, and it is seventeen generations to my generation. Our sect is not well-known in the rivers and lakes, and few people know about it, but our sect is not weaker than any sect. The kung fu we practice is mainly for health preservation, and is rarely used for fighting in the rivers and lakes. This is also a rule set by the ancestors, not to expose your own kung fu at will. The old man paused and then said: "Our door is mainly based on qi training, and the general outline is: refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, and refining gods to return to emptiness. It is said that except for the ancestors who founded the sect, no one has practiced to the point of refining the gods, you are still young, maybe you don't understand much, you just need to remember these **. These ** can't be noted, they can only be written in the mind, and they are passed on rigorously" and then told the mantra to Long Dan: "Exhale the true qi in the body and gather, and follow the qi down the dantian trend; Wen Gu knows that the new Dan is angry, and he goes down to the ground bridge and is connected; If the pulp rises and falls, the pulse rises in one breath; Walk across the Parkway and cross the overpass, and cycle around every week. These eight sentences** must be firmly remembered, not omitted, misremembered, and a word, and the specific luck method will be slowly explained to you when you refine qi." Long Dan memorized it twice, and all of it was familiar with it, and the old man said happily: "Yes, after you start to practice qi, you can learn some ways to cure diseases and healers with me in your spare time, and if you can use it in the future, it is also a craft of mixing rice." "One qiē is arranged, and the two of them go to rest.

Since then, Xiaolongdan goes to school during the day, and there is no one at night, so he runs to the west wing of the bearded old man to practice qi with the old man, and when he does not go to school, he helps the old man to grab the medicine and weigh the medicine, and the old man also has a childlike heart, and from time to time gives Xiaolongdan three or five cents or a dime, therefore, Xiaolongdan's pocket constantly buys some candy or something, which makes the little playmates in the same village greedy. Children are greedy by nature, with this trick, needless to say, the old man arranges for Xiao Long Dan to do any work, and Long Dan is in a hurry to do it, even Long Dan's brothers do not have this priority. provoked the three brothers sometimes threatened with old fists, Xiaolongdan contributed a Mao'er eight points to the three brothers from time to time, the three brothers naturally smiled, and praised Xiaolongdan's eyes, for a while, Xiaolongdan became a brother among the brothers, among playmates, and even became a darling in the eyes of his parents.

The bearded old man also has a good time in Longjiawan, and the doctor profession is also popular wherever he goes. If the means are clever, it is a bit too much to describe it as a daily income, but there is a lot of cash every day, and the life of the elderly is naturally worry-free. also helped Longxin's family from time to time, which made Longxin moved. When the elderly see a doctor, some of them are quite difficult to receive less or a lot of medical funds, and the reputation of the elderly is also increasing dramatically day by day. The bearded old man has lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, the south of the Yangtze River is mountainous, and the rain is abundant, so naturally there are a lot of elixirs to collect. When you come to Longjiawan, there is no problem in making money in life, but the problem is that it is difficult to find medicinal materials for Longdan to soak your body. Therefore, the elderly often go to the state-run Chinese medicine shop in the county town to buy some traditional Chinese medicine that they can't usually see to meet the needs of medicinal materials. The days of a month passed in an instant, and the old man soaked his body in Xiaolongdan with traditional Chinese medicine every day, and Longdan's qi training gradually embarked on the right path. Originally, the quiet and smooth days passed like this, and an unexpected thing happened.
