The second uncle said like this, while wrapping up the weighed Chinese medicine, "No, the second son of the old Ma family, Ma Jun, is crazy for no reason." In the past few years, it has been thanks to the treatment of my old man that he can live until now! ”

I listened and pouted, "You old man just blow it!" I don't know if it's true or false? ”

"Nonsense! Of course it's true! Once I was delivering medicine to Ma Jun, and I happened to meet two comrades-in-arms who came to see him, and when we were having dinner together, I got those two people drunk, and these things were absolutely true! ”

And I don't really believe in this matter, and I don't know where the second uncle heard the bizarre story that fooled me here.

My name is Zhuo Ran, 26 years old, it has been two years since I graduated from university, according to the theory, it seems that I should be working or running on the road of job hunting, but my unpopular major, the ancient Chinese civil engineering technology major, in our small city to find a job, really make me at a loss, every time the recruiters in various companies see my resume, they will show a constipated expression, as if I have a problem for them.

In fact, when I filled in the college entrance examination, I filled in computer science and technology, and who knew that I was inexplicably transferred to the most unpopular major in the school. For those subjects that I was not interested in, I lived a life of canteens, dormitories, and Internet cafes in the past four years of college, and I stumbled through until graduation, but immediately became unemployed.

Fortunately, my parents' business has been going smoothly in the past two years, so there is basically no financial pressure, and I am not in a hurry to work, and I live a sluggish life every day.

But I really can't stand my dad counting me down at home every day, why don't you want to make progress! Don't get down to business! I don't have a plan for such an adult!

Or my mother said it tactfully, from the perspective of caring for me: "Ranran, if you stay at home, I'm afraid you will degenerate!" ”

Okay, okay, I can't afford to hide if I can't afford to provoke me. I found a reason and ran to my second uncle.

There are five brothers and sisters in my father, and the second uncle is the youngest and the only one who stays in his hometown to inherit the ancestral business. My family has been practicing medicine since my grandfather's grandfather, and it has been passed down for generations and is quite famous in the local area.

Unfortunately, my father and three aunts all went to college and went to the city, and only my second uncle stayed in his hometown. In his own words: "I just didn't study well, so I couldn't escape!" ”

The second uncle opened a Chinese medicine shop in the small county town of his hometown, and people in the neighborhood usually come to him for a headache and brain fever. Life isn't bad.

I have a good relationship with my second uncle and get along very happily, mainly because I don't think he has a bit of an elder's frame, and he doesn't mind making a joke with him.

The second uncle has a wide range of interests, and he likes all kinds of strange things, so he also likes to listen to this kind of bizarre story.

But the story he just told was really interesting, so I asked the second uncle: "Second uncle, what is the truck pulling in the story?" ”

The second uncle lifted the tied medicine bag and said casually: "In this story... Bah! Who's the story! I've said it several times, it's true!! ”

I nodded again and again, "Okay, okay, it's true!" It's true! Say it quickly! ”

The second uncle put his face in front of me, "The truck is actually pulling ...... I'll tell you when I'm done with the medicine! Ha ha! With that, the second uncle walked out of the store quickly.

"Hey! At such an age, it's still like this! ”

After the second uncle left, I wandered around the pharmacy boringly. A painting on the wall caught my eye.

Many Chinese medicine shops will hang portraits, some are Sun Simiao, some are Li Shizhen, and some are Hua Tuo, but the portrait hung in the second uncle's shop has nothing to do with medicine.

It depicts an old man with gray hair and strong spirits, holding a seal. I once asked my second uncle who was depicted in this painting, but the second uncle smiled and didn't answer, but only said to me: "Our family is not just practicing medicine!" ”

This old man is playing tricks again!

I was thinking about it, and suddenly my phone rang, and I picked up my phone and looked at it, and there were two words written on the caller ID: Lantern Festival.

Lantern Festival was formerly known as Tang Yuanding, a native of Beijing, is a classmate of my university, although we are not a major, but it does not prevent us from becoming best friends, Tang Yuanding's entire family is engaged in the antique business, according to legend, the day he was born, his father just received a Yuan Dynasty copper tripod, so he named him Yuan Ding. After going to college, everyone called Shunzui, so I changed the name to Tangyuan, and I directly translated it and called him Lantern Festival. Tang Yuanding didn't care about it himself, but felt that the name Lantern Festival was quite good, it was really heart-relieved!

After graduating from Lantern Festival, he followed his father into the family business and started an antique business. I heard that it is also mixed. Although we kept in touch often, we didn't see each other again for two years due to various inaccuracies.

As soon as I pressed the answer button, the voice of Lantern Festival on the other side immediately came: "Zhuo Ran, what are you doing!" Have you been idle lately? ”

"You're idle and have nothing to do!"

I said like a parasite, "I'm studying medicine with my second uncle right now!" Tell you, buddy is grabbing medicine right now! When you get cancer, leukemia, AIDS or something one day, buddy will treat you! ”

"I'll go!" Lantern Xiao took a few sips, "Can you hope I get better!" Do you study medicine? You can live a few more days without your pills! ”

"You kid called me, what's wrong! It's okay, I'm hanging! Delay my studies! ”

"Don't!!" Lantern Xiao's tone immediately eased a lot, "I have something urgent to find you!" ”

Lantern Xiao looked a little excited, "I officially separated from my family some time ago and set up a stall by myself. ”

I was a little surprised, a big family like Lantern Festival, came out to set up a door on his own, it really can't be said to be a good thing or a bad thing, but he himself is quite happy, "Congratulations, Young Master Tang!" No, I should call you Mr. Tang. But what the hell are you looking for me? ”

Lantern Xiao continued on the phone: "I'm going to the northwest to load the goods in two days, maybe there will be pressure on the hall, how about it?" Open your eyes with buddies! I've got all the room and board! What about righteousness! ”

Lantern Festival told me before that "Shangshang" and "Pressing" are their jargon, and "Shangshang" refers to the purchase of antiques through acquaintances in the mountains or rural areas. "Pressing" refers to something that is quite good.

Hearing Lantern Xiao say this, I was also moved, "Where are you going?" I asked.

"Gansu Linxia! When the time comes, you will come to Beijing by high-speed train, and we will take a plane over! ”

"Lantern Festival, are you reliable in this matter? Don't tie us up after that, if you don't know the place well, you will tie us up again. "I said in my heart, Lao Tzu is a good otaku at home, follow you, don't let people catch the black coal kiln again.

"That's impossible," Lantern Xiao swore and said, "There is my father's old friend over there in Gansu, who is a friend of life and death, I call him Uncle Kong, and he is also my family's partner in the northwest." I asked him for help and it was absolutely fine! "Lantern Festival looked very excited.
