In Wang Defa's house, after sending Wang Chenglong and Hu Yuting away, he returned to the calm of the previous year, and only when Wang Nianzu shouted at the top of his throat, the whole house felt a little popular.

This year, the town's social fire went to the county to pay New Year's greetings to the people of the county on the fifteenth, and only came back from the county on the sixteenth to start playing for the people of the town.

It stands to reason that the social fire in the town must of course be entertained by the people of the town first, but when the county has social fire and support for the townships, everyone has no complaints. Now the conditions are much better than before, and many people have followed the Shehuo team and went to the county seat together for 15 years.

On the morning of the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the town remembered the rumbling firecrackers, and Wang Defa could hear them in his yard.

"Xiu'e, who is this cannon that is so loud, today is the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, and it is still so lively? What's the matter? Wang Defa asked Ma Xiu'e, he thought that these things in the New Year, when women chatted with each other, they might be more well-informed.

"I really don't know this, it may be whose family marries a daughter-in-law."

"If you don't want to go out, I'll go out." Wang Defa threw down this sentence and went out.

Listening to the crackling firecracker array, it is not a simple matter, it is not a trivial matter.

Walking on the street, there were many people chatting and basking in the sun, Wang Defa wandered aimlessly, and when he walked to the middle street, there were more people.

At the entrance of Qingxiang Pharmacy, the ashes of firecrackers were all over the ground, and there were many adults and children watching the excitement around.

Wang Defa looked at the ashes at the door of the pharmacy and guessed that it should be a cannon from the pharmacy. Wang Defa was also curious, he thought at first, is this Wu Qingxiang old Chinese medicine doctor gone, think about it carefully, it's not right, people are gone, how can there be such a fanfare, or in the pharmacy, not at home.

Wang Defa came in, there were many people crowded inside, and some of the familiar faces he knew were all saved by Wu Qingxiang.

There were relaxed and happy expressions on everyone's faces, and Wang Defa went in to find Wu Qingxiang.

Wu Qingxiang was dressed brand new, sat on the wide armchair where he sat in the clinic, and greeted everyone in the pharmacy.

"Old gentleman, thank you, you really have walked the streets and alleys of our town all your life to treat diseases and save people, if it weren't for you, I would have choked to death by that mouthful of food to see the king of Hades."

"That's it, my grandson, if it weren't for the old gentleman, a high fever might have ......"

……

They are all here to thank you and say goodbye.

Wu Qingxiang has rarely walked out of the county seat in his life, rooted in the town, I don't know how much money he earns, but he definitely deserves the respect of the whole town. The person is already old, and he can't do it anymore, so he chose today, the pharmacy is closed, and he can't do it, and he has more than enough heart but not enough strength.

Wang Defa felt that he had come at the right time.

Wu Qingxiang chatted with everyone, greeting each other, and it seemed that he felt difficult to sit on the chair. He saw that there were more and more people, so he cheered up, stood up and said: "Thank you, thank you for coming to the pharmacy, originally, I didn't want to be so ostentatious, who would have thought that my son would say that he had to have a ceremony." Sorry for the disturbance! ”

After saying that, the crowd began to shout that it should be, not to be disturbed.

"What about me, I can't remember what I spread Qingxiang medicine, it seems that when I was sixteen years old, I don't know, this year, I'm seventy-eight, most of my life, I did the barefoot doctor, now, it's really impossible to do it, it's time to rest, most of my life, there are those who have come back to life from my hands, and there are countless people who have left without my power, so everyone will take care of it. The situation in the country is better, the medical conditions are better, and my old bones should indeed be retreated. ”

Wu Qingxiang said very calmly, and said these words in a weathered tone, pulling everyone present back to the picture they had experienced.

"Old man, it's okay for you to retreat, but you really should find an apprentice for this craft and pass it on, this pharmacy can't be closed!"

"That's right, with your medical skills, you can take an apprentice and leave a unique skill."

Everyone's words are all about retention and reluctance.

"I didn't want to, in all dynasties, teaching and educating people and saving lives should be inherited. It's a pity, now you see, the old Chinese medicine left by the ancestors is all supported by our old antiques, and young people want to learn, and they all learn the medical skills of foreigners. Don't tell you anything, I don't teach my family by word and deed on weekdays, but he just doesn't have this interest. That's it, that's it, today is also a good day, Qingxiang Pharmacy will be closed today, I wish you all health and safety. After Wu Qingxiang said this, he sat down slowly.

In the hall of the pharmacy, it was quiet, and everyone stopped discussing.

"Son, the ladder is ready, help me take off that plaque." Wu Qingxiang said to his son.

"It's all ready, then I'll pick it now."

"Pick it."

Everyone moved outside again, Wu Qingxiang didn't move, and when Wang Defa was about to turn around and go out for the last time, he turned back and asked Wu Qingxiang: "Brother, otherwise, I'll help you out, take a look, your signboard for most of your life." ”

"It's okay, then bother my brother and help me go out together."

"Howler!"

The signboard of "Qingxiang Pharmacy" was written by Wu Qingxiang when he found a literati from the party family in the town. The earlier deeds of the party family, which everyone in the town knows, came out of a military gate, during the Qing Dynasty, the party military gate led troops to guard Lafayette. It is precisely for this reason that the descendants of the party family have a relatively smooth career.

The person who wrote the signboard for Wu Qingxiang was the great-great-grandson of the military gate, who had passed away, and he was already the director of the Provincial Cultural Center back then, and the writing was really atmospheric.

Wang Defa helped Wu Qingxiang and watched his son slowly dismantle the sign that had been hanging on the door for almost half a century.

"When I hung it back then, the golden words, I still remember it vividly, and now, the wind and the sun are blowing, and there are traces of time on it." Wu Qingxiang leaned on Wang Defa and sighed.

After taking it off, everyone grabbed the sign below and put it at the door.

"Thank you again, I can come to send Qingxiang Pharmacy today, thank you, my house is far from the town, forgive me for not being able to prepare a little wine and food to greet everyone! Let's go back, yes, thank you. ”

The crowd slowly dispersed, Wang Defa helped Wu Qingxiang, did not leave, in addition to sending Wu Qingxiang, Wang Defa actually has a matter on his mind, if he doesn't seize the opportunity today, as soon as Wu Qingxiang retreats, it is not good to ask again.

"Brother, you didn't say it earlier, it's too sudden."

"If it weren't for my son's ritual, I wouldn't want anyone to know. It's too much to bother everyone. ”

"I think the child is doing the right thing, yes, since it is a coincidence today, you and the child went to my house at noon, and had a late meal, and I, as an old accountant, would like to thank you for so many years, and your great kindness to your father and fellow villagers."

"No, no, I won't go."

"No, old brother, today, you must rely on me! Come with me, after eating, I'll drive my truck and send you and the child back. ”

Wu Qingxiang refused, Wang Defa warmly invited, and in the end, Wu Qingxiang's son decided to go to Wang Defa's house for a light meal.

Wang Defa has always had a matter on his mind, that is, Wang Nianzu's matter, although this child looks okay now, he can cry, laugh, and when he is called, he seems to be able to hear it, but he is still a little worried, even if it is a little unsound with a string of narcissus and Guisheng, it is a big deal.

He has always wanted to bring Wang Nianzu to Wu Qingxiang, let him check the pulse, and see, if he can see a rough idea, Wang Defa will have a spectrum in his heart.

brought Wu Qingxiang to the house for dinner, Wang Defa didn't tell Ma Xiu'e. There was nothing to prepare at home, so Ma Xiu'e and Narcissus hurriedly made a home-cooked meal.

When Wang Defa came to the kitchen to help serve the meal, Ma Xiu'e complained and said: "I said old man, what arrangements do you have next time, can you have a plan in advance, there is nothing prepared at home, you can bring the guests here." ”

"I also know that it is very sudden, otherwise it must have been arranged early, in the first month, there is still no food in the kitchen, look at your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, this meal is very good." Wang Defa praised Ma Xiu'e.

The meal was ready, Wang Defa's family of five, plus Wu Qingxiang's father and son, the atmosphere in the house was immediately there.

"Brother, today is also your retirement day, I know suddenly, if the food is not to your taste, take care of it."

"But don't say that, thank you, it's rare for you to be so hearty." Wu Qingxiang said.

Except for Wang Defa and Wu Qingxiang who occasionally chatted, everyone else was eating with their heads bored. Ma Xiu'e didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Wang Defa's gourd.

Wang Nianzu was still young, and the adults could eat some food, but they didn't eat much, so they were put on the kang by the narcissus and played by themselves.

After dinner, Wang Defa chatted with Wu Qingxiang, and the two of them talked about the things that they couldn't remember for a long time, and they were relishing.

When Narcissus went to wash the pot, Wang Nianzu couldn't stop crying, and Guisheng hugged his son down on the kang, sat with everyone, and coaxed Nianzu to cry non-stop.

Seeing this, Wang Defa felt that the time had come, and he could ask Wu Qingxiang what the situation was with this child.

"Brother, there has always been a matter, I want to ask you, but I don't have a chance, we just finished eating, while chatting, you help me come up with ideas, what do you think?" Wang Defa still said more tactfully.

"Brother, if you don't say it, I guessed it! Okay, give me your grandson and let me hug me too! Wu Qingxiang said.

"Hey, okay, good, Guisheng, quickly hold this Nian Zu to your Wu father."

Wang Guisheng looked at Wang Defa, a little puzzled, and slowly put Wang Nianzu in Wu Qingxiang's arms.

Wu Qingxiang is old, and it looks a little difficult to hold the child, Wang Defa moved the stool and sat next to him ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

Wu Qingxiang held the child, touched his face with his hand, and kept whistling to attract Wang Nianzu's attention.

This Nianzu is really obedient today, probably because Wu Qingxiang has been practicing medicine for many years, and he knows how to communicate with such a child, the communication between the two is very smooth, and Wang Defa feels strange.

No matter how Wu Qingxiang teases Wang Nianzu, Wang Nianzu can react, this method, Wang Defa has already used it, it may be because he was still young at that time, sometimes Wang Nianzu responds, turns his head around, or babbles, but sometimes, Wang Nianzu is like a nobody, there is no reaction at all, which makes him a little worried all the time.

Wu Qingxiang is like bringing his grandson, and he is happy.

"Brother, you come and hold the child for me, and I'll look at the doll's tongue." When Wu Qingxiang and Wang Nianzu were playing about the same time, he asked to see Wang Nianzu's tongue.

"Okay, okay."

Wang Defa turned out to be a child and approached Wu Qingxiang.

Wu Qingxiang opened Wang Nianzu's mouth, looked at it carefully, and said professionally: "Recently, the child has been eating a little bit, and he has been eating a little lighter recently." ”

"Yes, I also found that the child has not eaten well in the past two days, there are yeast tablets at home, he loves to eat very much, I will feed it."

Wu Qingxiang put his rough big hand on Wang Nianzu's thin arm and took the pulse.

This is the point, Wang Defa tried not to let Wang Nianzu speak out, and he also held his breath and concentrated, for fear of affecting Wu Qingxiang's judgment. It's strange to say, when Wu Qingxiang took the pulse, Wang Nianzu obediently cooperated, without a little resistance and naughtiness.

After five minutes of pulse, Wu Qingxiang took his hand away from Wang Nianzu's arm.

Wang Defa wanted to know what the situation was in a hurry, so he asked, "Brother, what's the matter?" ”

"Brother, child, there is no problem, you can rest assured. As for what you're worried about, from the point of view of now, there is no such thing at all. ”

"Oh, that's great, the bloodline of my old Wang family, this can be regarded as completely preserved."

"Brother, in this life, birth is one thing, in the future, the most important thing is to be a good person, I think, you feel much deeper than me, I still remember the old yin and yang on your team, there is a mantra is to be a good person, do not lose the ancestors. Whether it's deaf or dumb, it's important, it's important, the key is here, that's right, everything is right. Wu Qingxiang patted his chest and said.

Wang Defa understood what Wu Qingxiang meant, no matter how healthy the body is, if the heart is broken, everything will be broken.

"Brother, what you said is right, I also understand, I am dissatisfied with you, you see, in the first half of my life, it can be said that I have done all the bad things, and in the second half of my life, I finally figured out how to be a person, and in the second half of my life, I will use it to atone for my sins."

"Brother, it's good that you understand. Don't worry, this child, you don't have to go to the hospital for any examination, whether it is pulse or face, it is a promising baby. I have a relationship with your grandson, but he is the last pulse of my life. We are old, and we have come all the way from his age to the present. ”

One old and one young, in talking about life and death, they see the cycle of life going on and on.
