Chapter 59: The Friendship of Two Generations

Sister Bijun's Yao family and my Lu family have had a friendship for more than 20 years, and before my father made a fortune, he has always been taken care of by the Yao family, so he is a person who knows the roots.

If you want to talk about the Yao family, you have to mention Uncle Yao Desheng, the father of Sister Bijun, Uncle Yao is my grandfather of the same year, what is this of the same year?

He was born in the same year as my father, and he married again, and became a brother of the opposite sex who took care of each other. That's why I call him the same year, and he is a closer person than his godfather.

If you want to talk about Uncle Yao Desheng, that is the luckiest thing in my father's life, if there is no Uncle Yao, my father will not have the opportunity to meet my mother, let alone have me.

What is the reason for this?

It all started with the year of the famine.

That year, it was the twenty-first year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, due to two consecutive years of rice blast, the field was exhausted of wild vegetables, my grandfather had to send his second uncle to Chaozhou to survive, and my father was left to follow them to die.

My father is a filial person, and his relatives at home can't open the pot, and he can't open it, so after leaving the last bit of rations left for my grandfather and my grandmother, he drank half a scoop of cold water and went to Nanwu County.

He just thought that if he wanted to die outside, he must not drag my grandfather and my grandmother, and if God favors him, he may be able to find a job in the county seat to feed the hungry, at that time the county seat of Nanwu was not in today's Pingchuan Town, but in Zhongshan Town, Zhongshan Town has also been called Wushu since ancient times, and Zhongchi Township was also more than ten miles away from Wushu at that time.

With this thought in mind, my father rushed forward with the last striving, and finally arrived at the Yong'an Gate, the south gate of the martial arts.

At that time, he had not eaten a grain of rice for four days, and when he passed the Yong'an Gate of the Wushuo, his physical strength was exhausted, and he was already so hungry that his eyes were full of Venus, he shook and fell to the ground, and he tried his best to climb hard, and at this time of life and death, he smelled a sweet smell, which made him have a desire to live.

He crawled towards the smell, and found that there was a grain field not far in front of him, where there were a few dustpans of white flowers, he sniffed hard, and found that this thing was the sweet smell he had just smelled, and without saying a word, he crawled over and grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth, which was actually his knee-jerk reaction under extreme hunger.

He swallowed desperately, feeling that this thing had a slight sweet taste after entering his mouth, but there was also a strong sour taste, he couldn't care so much at the time, just a vigorous eating, eating and eating, he felt that his abdomen was hot like fire, and his head was getting more and more dizzy, and he fainted immediately without breathing.

He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, but when he opened his eyes, he heard a hearty voice: "This brother, you are awake!" ”

He turned his head to look, and saw a chubby young man smiling at him, and he asked, "What's wrong with me?" ”

The chubby young man smiled and said, "You eat sake lees outside my winery, and they are all filtered out of burning knives!" If you take three bites, you will get drunk, not to mention that you have eaten two catties, you are really almost dying! ”

My father smiled bitterly: "I'm really sorry big brother, I'm really hungry and panicked, I can do my job and I will compensate you......"

The young man waved his hand and said, "It's good that my life hasn't been lost!" You were getting drunk to death, and I was scared! Carry you here quickly, or your stomach will burn through! ”

When my father heard this, he quickly kowtowed and thanked him, "Thank you brother for saving your life!" ”

The young man waved his hand, pointed to the old man next to him and said, "Don't thank me, if you want to thank you, just thank Lin Langzhong!" He used the ancestral recipe to help you induce vomiting, and it took a day of tossing to get you back. ”

My father hurriedly kowtowed to Lin Langzhong, and Lin Langzhong hurriedly helped my father up and asked, "I see that you are still young, even if you are famine, you can always come out to find work, why are you hungry like this?" ”

My father said: "My parents are very old, my brother's life and death are unknown, and I am the only one left in the family. ”

Lin Langzhong got angry and said, "It's really pedantic! It's true that parents are not far away, but there is another sentence that there must be a way to travel, how do you read half of your book! ”

My father bowed his head and said, "Sir's scolding is that I really don't have any skills, so I don't have any big ambitions, so I'm stuck here." ”

Lin Langzhong sighed and said: "I see that you are a filial person, if you really have no skills, I still lack an apprentice in this shop, you might as well stay and be a helper for me!" ”

When my father heard this, he was overjoyed, and quickly kowtowed to him, and since then he has worshiped Lin Langzhong as his teacher and started his apprenticeship in the pharmacy.

This Lin Langzhong was later my grandfather Lin Guangzong, although he was a talented man, but he was generous and had some ancestral recipes, and the pharmacy was quite stable at that time.

After his death, the pharmacy became more and more depressed, and my father made an unexpected fortune due to the return of his second uncle, but he did not forget his roots, not only married my mother, but also adhered to my grandfather's purpose of hanging jade to help the world, not only reorganized the medicinal herb shop and moved to the east gate of the county today, but also has been passed down to this day.

And that young man is Uncle Yao Desheng, he accidentally saved my father, my father often went to him to help in order to repay the money from his wine lees, the friendship between the two deepened, because they became brothers in the same year, and later helped each other in business, making the Lu Yao family one of the richest families in Nanwu County.

Later, Uncle Yao Desheng still wanted to marry my father, and they originally thought that when I tied my hair and became an adult, they would marry Sister Bijun to me, which can be regarded as kissing and kissing.

But unfortunately, in the year when I went out with my second uncle to do business, Uncle Yao Desheng died of illness, and the marriage between the two families was never mentioned again, and I didn't even catch up with my uncle's burial, and I have always felt very guilty in my heart.

Sister Bijun, as the daughter of the Yao family, has taken on the business of the Yao family, the Yao family has businesses in Nanchang and Chaozhou, she is also busy this year, and the days of staying in Ningxiang Xiaozhu are becoming less and less.

So when she came back to see me today, I was so happy that I felt like I was suddenly alive.

At this time, there was a loud laugh at the door: "Sister, I heard that you are back!" I miss it! ”

I looked up and saw Li Xiaohua rushing in from the door, with a face smiling like a flower.

Sister Bijun also smiled when she saw him, "Little Er, you are also getting more and more energetic!" ”

Li Xiaohua raised her face when she heard this, and complained: "Sister, I told you, don't call me Xiaoer, it's really ugly!" ”

He pointed at me and said, "You call my cousin Xiao Yi, my cousin Cheng Tianle is a fart, but you call me Xiao Er, and people think I'm the 'little two' of which inn when they hear it!" ”

"Really?" Sister Bijun covered her mouth and smiled, "Then Xiao Er, give me a hot pot of wine!" ”

Li Xiaohua immediately stepped forward and responded with a hippie smile: "Okay! Do you want rice flowers or burn knives? ”

Sister Bijun lightly punched him and said with a smile: "Look at you, a flower monk, you have a long ability to play a poor mouth!" ”

I saw that they were so hot, and a wave of jealousy came up, and I pouted: "Sister, don't pay attention to him, he's just a bastard!" ”

Li Xiaohua was suddenly annoyed, "Hey, I said cousin, you said two good things about me!" Anyway, I'll help you get rid of that girl!" ”

Sister Bijun was stunned at first, then turned her head and glared at me, and asked, "Which girl?" Tell me about it! ”

I almost bit my tongue when I heard it, and opened my mouth to say: "It's not a big deal, it's just a girl who meets the rivers and lakes to save in an emergency!" ”

"Oh?"

Sister Bijun looked at me meaningfully and asked softly, "I heard that you also showed other people's bodies, didn't you?" ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately felt bitter in my heart.

Who?

Who has such a big mouth?!

Do I want to marry a daughter-in-law!

This is to force me to death!
