Chapter 60: Traveling to Collect Medicine
166. Medical hall activities
Because there are more people at work, there is not a lot of work, after all, people with incurable diseases may not necessarily know that there is Zhao Zhibao. At that time, there were not a lot of publicity advertisements, Zhao Zhibao decided to open another counter to sell medicines, which were also sold originally, but they were not on the counter, and they were only two or three self-made, without publicity, and they were not sold a lot.
On the one hand, prepare the equipment, modify the large counter (left by the original owner), and on the other hand, let Feng Lanlan take Xia Lotus to learn Chinese medicine, memorize the name of the medicine, and recognize the herbs. Also be familiar with some commonly used Western medicines.
It turned out that the herbs were collected, and there was still stock, and everyone was mobilized to make medicine again, and there were many pills obtained.
According to everyone's opinions, it is most cost-effective to pick herbs by yourself, so I decided to pick them again.
National Day plus Sunday for three days off, in principle, all of them went out, first called Qian Feng, asked Qian Long to get ready, Qian Feng replied that it was to let Wang Xinmin go to Qian Zhuang, and everyone went to play together. According to Qian Feng's opinion, Zhao Zhibao asked for everyone's opinions, saying that if he didn't want to go, he would stay at home, but the chef Yu Xiang also wanted to go, so there would be no taste to stay at home.
Feng Lanlan asked, "Can I bring my family with me?" ”
Zhao Zhibao said: "It's okay to bring adults, but it's better not to bring children!" ”
Qiu Lianhua said: "What about Zhao Chun and them, will you go?" ”
Zhao Zhibao said: "Okay! You can bring children, but you are limited to one, there are too many children! ”
In this way, the two brothers of the Zhao family, one Feng Lanlan and one Yu Xiang (the eldest child), have 4 children.
Adults are: Zhao Zhibao's family of 5 (including Xia Lotus); Feng Lanlan has two sons; Yu Xiang two; Tao Hong and the two (have friends), plus Qian Feng's two sons; Qianlong's family consists of 4. I almost opened two tables, which is a secondary problem, and there is a chef's aftertaste for cooking, but the key is how to go with so many children?
Tao Hong said, "Doctor Zhao! I have a way, my friend is a car company, just rent a car. ”
Zhao Zhibao said: "What's your friend's name?" Do you listen to you? ”
Tao Hong said: "His name is Jiang Zilong, of course he is good to me, otherwise how can I be good with him!" ”
Zhao Zhibao said: "Is it related? ”
Tao Hong said: "A little, his father is the manager of the long-distance bus company, and my friend is the driver. ”
Zhao Zhibao said: "It's not a bit of a relationship, the relationship is hard!" That's it, I'll leave the rental to you for three days: September 30, October 1, and October 2. Just ask your Jiang Zilong to drive! ”
Zhao Zhibao informed everyone to get ready, on September 30, dinner will start at 7 o'clock in the morning, and departure at 7:30 after eating, and the meeting place: the entrance of the medical hall. He also told Yu Xiang to prepare some dry goods, saying that so many people had to eat a lot of things in three days, and it was not easy to purchase them in the mountains, so he bought a lot of dry food for the road.
Everything is ready, and I will have breakfast at 7 o'clock in the morning on September 30, and I will not finish combing until 7:40, mainly because the lingering fragrance will be cleared. Of course, others also helped and started to get in the car. Zhao Zhibao greeted Jiang Zilong and said, "Brother Jiang! There are many children in the car, you can drive slowly, not in a hurry, safety first! ”
Jiang Zilong said: "Doctor Zhao rest assured! Guaranteed safe arrival! ”
The car is on the highway from the provincial capital to the county seat, which is very stable, and the county seat to the town is a little worse, and the town to the money village is not easy to walk, the key is that there are three babies in the car. The good thing is that it's not a few miles away, and it's just a few miles away.
Qian Zhuang suddenly became lively. Cars are rare in the mountains, and many people don't want to take a car, and the opportunity to see a car is rare. When you hear the horn of a car, there are more people watching the excitement. Especially for children, today is Sunday, and there are even more children!
Look, let them watch as much as they want, and they quickly get out of the car and arrange their rooms to rest.
The first floor: the east front room and the back room Qian Long's family do not live.
Zhao Yuanqing and his wife lived in the west front room; The west back room Feng Lanlan's family lives for three people.
Second floor: Qian Feng in the east front room, two people live; Yu Xiang lived in the east back room.
Zhao Zhibao's family lives in the west front room for three people; The mother and son of the summer lotus in the west back room lived.
Left room: Tao Hong's two lovers, you can have one person in one room, or two people in one room, and you can determine by yourself.
Right room: Yu Xiang's child lives.
After arranging accommodation, Yu Xiang went to the kitchen to cook. With the help of Qian Feng and his wife, Han Daniu was already almost done, and Yu Xiang just took over the work at night. If you have a baby, you can prepare milk, or feed yourself, and the meal will start in a while.
There were 21 people in total, three babies with their mothers, 18 people, and more than two tables. Yu Xiang's child can be served at the age of 13, and as the owner's coin, Qian Duoduo eats it below. The remaining 16 people are exactly two tables, anyway, it is not a formal banquet, adults can also come down to eat, it doesn't matter.
Qian Doudou ate quickly, she hugged Zhao Chun and walked away from Qiu Lianhua's hands. The main purpose is to let Qiu Lianhua eat quietly. Zhao Yuanqing also understands the taste, and when he left his job, he went to hug Zhao Chunfeng, and let Xia Lotus also eat well, and Ruan Dachao only cared about himself and didn't care about Feng Lanlan. However, Tao Hong understood the taste very well and took her son from Feng Lanlan's hands. There is another reason here, it is that Tao Hong found that Ruan Dachao had a strange expression, of course, it was aimed at Feng Lanlan. That's an afterword, so let's not talk about it now.
Zhao Zhibao said during the meal: "Please note that there are two purposes for coming out this time: one is to travel, to come out and relax; The second is to collect medicines. If you don't want to go, you can arrange it freely, and you can play as much as you want, as long as you remember to come back to eat and sleep! I don't care about these people, the people who want to go are divided into two groups, my suggestion is that it is not appropriate to take Xiaoxiaobao to collect medicine, and it is important to take care of Xiaoxiaobao. It's okay to travel slowly after us, my dad is in charge, he has been there, it doesn't matter if you can't keep up with us, anyway, there are a lot of people, everyone takes care of each other, this is group 2.
The first group must help collect medicines, the first is Brother Qian Long, the second is Sister Qian Feng, the third is brother-in-law Wang Xinmin, and the fourth is me. The rest of the people are from Group 2. After a few more words, everyone continued to eat. ”
Zhao Zhibao said again: "Free activities in the afternoon, the people of Group 1 are ready to enter the mountain!" Group 2 is managed by my father, Zhao Yuanqing. ”
167. The team entered the mountain
On October 1, 1956, the weather was crisp and the wind was beautiful, and the team that traveled into the mountains and collected medicine set off according to the regulations and as planned! There was no one who was free, and all of them came. How fresh it is to go into the mountains to play, especially the people in the city, those who have not entered the mountains, or those who have entered the mountains, have this free travel opportunity not to go, that is a fool! Except for the 4 people in the first group, the rest of the dozen or so people walked slowly, watched slowly, and enjoyed the scenery in the mountains along the way.
Zhao Zhibao said: "You pay attention, people should not be left alone, no matter what you do, there must be at least two people, and no one person is allowed to act alone!" Coins, money, please take care of it, let's go to the mountain! ”
The 4 people of the 1st group soon reached the mountain stream. Zhao Zhibao and Qian Long were responsible for building rope bridges. It's still the old way. The first to cross the stream was Zhao Zhibao, who jumped over, the first to hang from the rope bridge was Wang Xinmin, and the second to cross the stream was Qian Feng. They all said, "Zhibao! It's exciting! ”
Zhao Zhibao said: "Brother-in-law! You hold the rope, and I'll go over there to protect Brother Long. ”
Zhao Zhibao jumped and went back, and then let Qian Long hang over, and he jumped over the stream again and said, "Sister! You just stay here to rest, watch the scenery, and guard the rope bridge! When they come, we can't let them come, let them rest where they are, eat some dry food, and play until we come back. ”
Qian Feng said: "You have to wait for me to wait, it will be more lively when people come." ”
Zhao Zhibao agreed with her and sent her over again. Zhao Zhibao and the three of them took two ropes and medicine collection tools and continued to move forward.
Most of the follow-up team members have arrived one after another, and when they saw that Qian Feng was still there, they asked, "Where are they?" ”
Qian Feng told them: "The three of them continue to move forward, let me wait for you here, tell you to rest here, look around, enjoy the scenery in the mountains, eat some dry food, play rope bridge, and wait for them to come back before playing." ”
The mountain road is really not easy to walk, there are potholes, there are many stones, you will kick your feet if you are not careful, and you are used to the asphalt road, and you are really not used to it. Whether you are tired or not, you must sit down first, and then look left and right around the area. It is indeed a good view, first of all, quiet; Secondly, the air is fresh, at a glance is the green mountains and green waters, and the wild grasses and wild flowers are all rotten!
Some of the people from Group 2 also arrived one after another. Tao Hong became a member of their security team, she said: "It's time for the little doll to breastfeed, please don't look here!" ”
The coin said, "Big sister, can I see it?" ”
Tao Hong said: "You can't look at it, you can have a lot of money." Everyone laughed!
Qian Duoduo is still 5 years old, and he is not innocent of anything, of course he can see it. He asked the coin, "Brother! The eldest sister said I can watch, what to watch? ”
The coin said, "Toto, go!" I'll take you to pee! It made everyone laugh again.
The little treasures were full and began to rest. Qian Doudou spread the small mat he brought on the grass, let Zhao Chun and the two brothers sleep on it, and said, "You adults also go relax and eat some dry food, and I will take care of the children!" ”
Feng Lanlan didn't dare to do this, but Tao Hong was smart, and she hugged Feng Lanlan's son and walked around. Feng Lanlan went to Xia Lotus and said that they wanted to go for convenience.
The three of them invited Tao Hong again, Qiu Lianhua said: "The two of them let go of the wind, I will go with Tao Hong first, and you will let go of the wind!" Then Qiu Lianhua and Tao Hong let go of the wind, and Xia Lotus and Feng Lanlan went to make it convenient. The 4 women are very coordinated.
Everyone rested and ate dry food.
At about 12 o'clock, the three herb pickers came back, each carrying two bundles of herbs, and Zhao Zhibao said, "Have you eaten it?" We're hungry and want to eat! ”
Qiu Lianhua said: "We have eaten almost enough, we just want to cross the stream to play!" ”
168. Hanging across the rope bridge
Zhao Zhibao said: "Okay! I'll come here. Zhao Zhibao jumped over. He said, "Brother Long! You throw the rope and hold the rope over there, and let them play with it! ”
Zhao Zhibao held the rope in his hand and said, "Lotus, come here, I'll send you over first!" ”
Everyone looked at Qiu Lianhua, who was tied up by Zhao Zhibao. Then Zhao Zhibao gently pushed, and Qiu Lianhua passed! Qian Long let go of the rope and helped Qiu Lianhua untie the rope.
Qiu Lianhua said: "It's fun! Sisters! Come on! ”
Qian Long threw both ropes over, and as a result, the speed increased, and more than a dozen people passed. In the end, Feng Lanlan said that she couldn't come over, and no one cared about the child.
Zhao Zhibao said: "My parents have passed, I have to guard my two sons, rest and eat!" "Of course, I also lost half a bag of dry food to Qian Long and Wang Xinmin, they also have to be full, or they won't be able to work!
Zhao Zhibao had almost eaten, and said to Feng Lanlan: "Sister Lan! Go over and have fun, too! Now that you're here, you have to have a good time! ”
Feng Lanlan said: "I also want to be happy, but what about with children? ”
Zhao Zhibao said: "When the child is asleep, put it on the cotton mat, remember to let Tao Hong come first, be sure to come over Tao Hong first, and pick up your son!" ”
Feng Lanlan said: "What are you afraid of? Big deal divorce! Let me go first! Something else will come later! ”
Zhao Zhibao tied up Feng Lanlan and said, "Brother Long, pay attention to picking up people!" Feng Lanlan also passed.
Zhao Zhibao said: "I lower the end of the rope, you move the stone up!" ”
The rope on the tree on Zhao Zhibao's side was a few feet lower, but Qian Long over there couldn't move the stone. Qian Long said: "The stone is too heavy, I can't move it, so you should come!" ”
There was no way, Zhao Zhibao had to jump over the stream to move stones, and the rope bridge was erected.
Zhao Zhibao said: "Brother! You'd better go first, I'm the only one here. ”
Qian Long said: "Let Yu Xiang and his family go over first, they have to go back to prepare dinner." ”
Zhao Zhibao said: "Yes! The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first! ”
As a result, Yu Xiang and his family went back first.
The third one who came over was Wang Xinmin, who untied the rope by himself, and threw it over, the fourth was Qian Feng, and the fifth was Tao Hong...
In the end, Zhao Zhibao said: "Hang the herbs first, and then you go over, I will break the old rules!" ”
After the medicinal herbs came, Qian Long also came, and Zhao Zhibao untied the rope on the stone and jumped over.
169, the class teacher returned to the village
Zhao Zhibao said: "Eliminate the uneaten dry food, travel lightly, and return to the court!" You go first, we'll arrive later, be careful on the way! ”
Along the way, adults and children, talking and laughing, it was very lively! Although it was not as energetic as it came, everyone was very happy, especially the rope bridge, although the time was very short, but it was extraordinary! There is no tourist attraction that does not play like this!
Two small bundles of medicinal herbs per person is very relaxed. They also walked fast, and at once they caught up with the large army, laid down their burdens, said hello, and rested.
The coin said, "Dad! You take a break, I'll pick it! As he spoke, the coin stepped forward and picked up the burden to leave.
Qian Feng said: "Coin is going to take over, you see that he can pick it up without much effort." ”
Qian Long said: "The coin is 7 years old, and we have been married for 6 years. ”
Zhao Zhibao said: "Oh! Today is my brother's wedding anniversary, so let's celebrate it in the evening and let's have two drinks! ”
Qian Long said: "It's okay to drink, but don't celebrate, we are all old husbands and wives, how can farmers pay so much attention?" ”
The army began to leave again, and Zhao Zhibao said, "Brother! Do you want to go into town? If you want, come with me into town! ”
Qian Long said: "I don't want to, the family is quite nourishing in the countryside." If you can, get the coins into the city and see if he can change the style? ”
Zhao Zhibao said: "Brother! Good! I'll do it when I go back! ”
The army had been walking for a while, and the three of them had rested enough, so they set out on their way again.
As a result, they arrived at Qianzhuang first, and the large army was still a little slower.
It was about 3:20 when they all arrived, and Zhao Zhibao said: "Let's freshen up, you can have dinner at 3:50~4:00, and the kitchen is ready!" ”
Zhao Zhibao himself began to classify the herbs he collected. Instructed Tao Hong, Qian Long, Qian Feng and Wang Xinmin to clean. Then put it on the balcony and the roof to dry. The sun can't shine in the mountains anymore, and the original equipment used for drying is in the old house, and Qian Long found it out and used it.
Because I was busy, the meal was postponed a little. Strictly speaking, it was a little earlier than the usual 5:00 p.m.
In the evening, I opened two kinds of wine, one white: "Bamboo Leaf Green" and the other red: "Chinese Red Wine".
Zhao Zhibao said: "Thank you for appreciating the light, there are no delicacies from the mountains and seas, but there are chickens, fish, meat, ducks, as well as preserved rabbit meat and dried bamboo shoots, which are also delicacies of the mountains and seas, and everyone tastes them slowly." Please Sister Yu and sister-in-law Han raise their glasses, and I will toast you on behalf of everyone! You've done a great job! Everyone drinks, you're welcome, don't eat more, you'll get sick at night. ”
The male compatriots all drank white wine, only Ruan Dachao drank red wine, the women had a lingering fragrance, and Tao Hong also drank some white wine.
Zhao Zhibao picked up the wine glass and said: "There is one more thing, Brother Long, sister-in-law, you have to stand up too, I will toast the two of you on behalf of Lotus!" Today is your 6th wedding anniversary, we toast you with a glass and wish you a happy life and harmony between husband and wife! Come! Cheers! ”
Qiu Lianhua also stood up and nodded, she didn't drink. Xia Hehua and Feng Lanlan didn't drink either. Because they are all breastfeeding.
Due to the slow speed of this meal, he had to eat more, and he ate for a long time, Yu Xiang's lover also punched Zhao Yuanqing, Zhao Yuanqing was not an opponent, he was fined several cups, and Qian Doudou also ate two cups instead.
This meal lasted for more than an hour, of course, everyone cleared the scene, and a dinner ended.
Zhao Zhibao looked at the sky for a while, and estimated that there was no rain at night, so he didn't plan to collect the herbs, let it continue to dry tomorrow, take a bath, take a rest, and meditate.
Qiu Lianhua thought that Zhao Zhibao was tired, so she gave Zhao Chunhe to Qian Doudou and said, "Mom! Zhibao is resting, you take care of Chunhe, I'll take a bath and pick it up. ”
Qian Doudou said: "Zhibao is resting? No way! Good! Give me Xiaobao, you can take a bath! ”
Qiu Lianhua came back from taking a bath, Zhao Zhibao woke up, and Qiu Lianhua said, "Aren't you resting?" ”
Zhao Zhibao said: "How can you sleep without paying public food?" ”
Qiu Lianhua said: "You, it's really difficult to deal with! Good! I'll go get your son back. ”
Zhao Chunhe picked it up and was already asleep. After Qiu Lianhua arranged her son, she said, "Come on the greedy cat!" Guys who aren't afraid to get tired! ”
What is good about Zhao Zhibao? Love your wife? Love! There is no beautiful woman that a man does not love! Don't love your wife? But why did he go to Xia Lotus again? That is the physiological need, it is true, he still loves Xia Lotus. Of course, this has something to do with the beautiful summer lotus, but it still has a lot to do with feelings, after all, it is the original match. made a mistake, Zhao Zhibao had already forgiven her, and the Zhao family had also forgiven her!
Of course, the main thing is that Xia Lotus is really in love with him! The Zhao family has forgiven her past, and she can't do without him even more! What is a name? It's not the same as eating during the day and sleeping at night! Enough to do something, to eat, and to spend money! She has already earned a house for the Xia family, enough is enough! How many people struggle all their lives, but they can't earn a house! As long as you want to bloom, the summer lotus should be very satisfied.
Zhao Zhibao was afraid of Qiu Lianhua's body, so he only made a symbolic intimacy once, and slipped into the summer lotus room. After a tired day, he didn't forget her summer lotus. Sweet in my heart! She gave Zhao Zhibao a general request. Why do you say "average"? Not "maximum"? Xia Lotus knows that the biggest is impossible! It is impossible for her to join forces with Qiu Lianhua to achieve the greatest possibility! Maybe in a few years, but not now! The two of them are not yet 20 years old, and their bones are still tender!
There are a lot of things to do at night, and I can't finish writing about them, but Tao Hong's affairs have to be explained. Jiang Zilong wanted to share a room with her, and Tao Hong said that the first time he must stick to his own approach on the night of the wedding! Jiang Zilong could only agree, no force! Later, they got married on January 1, 1957, and moved out of the hospital. That's an afterword.
