Chapter 4: Vicissitudes and Tribulations
Qin Di had medicine and dietary therapy, and his body recovered faster.
By the time he was three years old, his left leg was fully developed and he was finally able to stand on one leg!
At the age of four, his right leg began to develop.
When he was close to five years old, he was finally able to run and jump, like a normal child.
With all these changes, everything is not easy, in Zhu Wan's opinion, it is simply a miracle!
She was so happy that she could wake up laughing almost in her dreams!
She prayed daily and thanked her Heavenly Father for his blessings: "Hallowed be your name, and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven......."
Sometimes, she looked at Qin Di and couldn't help but ponder in her heart: "As the saying goes, 'If you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing in the future'." My son suffered when he was young, and he will definitely have a future in the future!"
And Qin Hancheng, as a father, in addition to being surprised, gradually changed his mind and cared more and more for Qin Di.
Because since Qin Di was born, he has tried his best and worked hard for five years, but he only gave birth to another daughter, named "Qin Yue", and there are no other children! Qin Di is his only son, and he will inherit the incense in the future! How can he not rely on it?
Five years have passed, and the Qin family has undergone a lot of changes.
The business of the yarn mill is getting better and better, especially a year ago, the United States introduced a bill to discriminate against the Chinese, Chinese businessmen boycotted American goods, reduced cotton yarn imports, resulting in higher prices, the Qin family took the opportunity to expand the operation of the yarn mill, employing more than 600 employees.
The old man Qin Zhaoji was so busy with business that he barely touched the ground, and even when he returned home, he rarely paid attention to Qin Di.
Qin Di is not his only grandson, let alone the eldest grandson in the family, plus he has been sick since he was a child, so he has very little attention.
Grandma Qin Zhang occasionally came over to take a look. However, Qin Di is not like other children, she has an inexplicable arrogance in her heart, her mouth is too tight, and she is too lazy to say anything, so it is difficult to please her.
As for the children of the uncle's family, they don't play with Qin Di on weekdays.
Qin Di's life is very clean, and among the common people every day, in addition to his parents, he is his sister Qin Ling, who is two years older, and Qin Yue, who is four years younger.
Qin Ling started elementary school, and Qin Yue was still babbling.
Two years ago, his father, Qin Hancheng, was promoted and became the vice president of Commerce Bank.
The Commerce Bank was founded by Sheng Xuanhuai in 1897, at this time Sheng Xuanhuai was in full swing, the position was the crown prince Shaobao, the minister of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, he was a key figure in the Westernization movement, and opened a series of companies.
Her mother, Zhu Wan, was unwilling to be restrained, so she resigned from her job at Guangren Hospital and opened a medical clinic on the edge of Ci'an Hall, named "Ci'an Hospital", employing three or four doctors.
And for Qin Di, his condition is getting better and better.
As the saying goes, when God closes a door, he also opens a window.
Qin Di was born with quadriplegics, but he was deaf and clear-sighted, and he had a divine sense that ordinary people did not have! His ears could hear the wind and grass within 300 steps, and his eyes could clearly see the leaves floating ten miles away.
He could hear the voices of everyone in the entire Qin family compound, and even the footsteps of passers-by on the street in the distance.
He is far more intelligent than ordinary children, and even more than most adults, because he carries the memories of his past life.
At the beginning, his mother Zhu Wan taught him simple Chinese characters, but later found that this son was extremely smart, so she took her son back to his parents' house.
Grandfather Zhu Mingcheng is a well-known scholar in the magic capital, he gave his grandson a brief test, saw his ten lines at a glance, and recited it at a glance, he was immediately surprised and delighted, and personally selected some books for his daughter to take back.
So, Qin Di pretended to read books, mastered primary school knowledge at the age of four, and read middle school textbooks at the age of five.
Subsequently, he began to read the newspaper.
Most of the well-known media in those years were run by foreigners, including the "Universal Gazette", "Declaration", "News", "Zilinxi Daily" and so on.
The "Universal Communiqué" was founded in 1868, and its founder was the missionary Lin Lezhi, who was once given the false title of "Four Qualities" by the Qing court, and was also received by Roosevelt. Each issue has a circulation of 1,800 copies, which is relatively influential.
Founded in 1872 by British businessman Eynest Majer, the "Declaration" is considered the most commercialized newspaper and is known as the "Times of China".
The "News" was almost as famous as the "Declaration", with a circulation of 1,200 copies in 1900.
The "Zilinxi Newspaper" is an English-language newspaper, mainly for foreigners, among the Chinese, only those who studied in Britain and the United States read it, and the rest of the people read very little.
In addition, there are some Chinese newspapers, but because they are controlled by the Qing government, sometimes they open and sometimes close, and they are not yet in the climate.
Because the Qin family is in the yarn factory business, they must understand the market situation, and Qin Hancheng is the vice president of the bank, so the family has ordered the universal gazette and declaration all year round.
Through reading newspapers and periodicals, Qin Di gradually combined the events in front of him with vague memories.
In 1905, a lot happened.
In February of this year, Wang Hanxing's assassination of Tieliang failed to materialize, and he committed suicide in anger. Secretly assemble to form the Yue Wang Society. Zou Rong died in prison in April at the age of 20. In September, the Shaoxing Datong School, founded by Xu Xilin, Tao Chengzhang and other members of the Restoration Association, opened. Wu Yue assassinated the five ministers and died in the revolution.
In the same year, Fudan College was established, and Qin Di's grandfather resigned from Nanyang College and became the vice principal of Fudan College.
In November, Minbao, the organ of the China League, was published in Tokyo, Japan, in which Sun Yat-sen for the first time put forward the three principles of "nation", "civil rights" and "people's livelihood".
On December 8, Chen Tianhua, a student studying in Japan (author of "Alarm Bell" and "Fierce Return"), went to the sea to kill himself.
Of course, none of these things have anything to do with Qin Di.
He was only five years old, and even if the sky fell, it wouldn't hit him.
Although Qin Di is young, his small body hides a soul that has been weathered.
He knows what a suffering China is like, and knows that the vicissitudes of a century are a historical ordeal, and only through this arduous ordeal can we truly achieve phoenix nirvana and move towards a glorious national rejuvenation.
Without the baptism of blood and tears, without the tragic death of tens of millions of people, the 40,000,000 compatriots could not form a consensus, and it would not have been possible to finally twist into a rope!
And this arduous process, this bloody and tearful history, cannot be intervened and interrupted by external forces.
Qin Di accidentally came to this era, and at the beginning, he felt very depressed.
This was an era of decline, not only did the country decline, it was humiliated, the people became the sick man of East Asia, and the aura in the air was extremely depleted, almost close to zero. He lives in this world like a fish jumping on the shore, almost out of breath.
As early as when he was in his mother's womb, in order to preserve his consciousness as much as possible, he had to give up the development of his limbs and develop only a head. If it is not controlled, it will inevitably deplete his mother's blood! In that case, his mother Zhu Wan, even if she does not die, will not live for three years. He can't do such a horrific thing!
After he was born, he tried to breathe and breathe, but it had no effect; he tried to absorb the moonlight, but he couldn't absorb a trace of energy; only by basking in the sun every day, could he absorb a little bit of purple qi! However, that little bit of purple qi was too weak to support him to become stronger, let alone cultivating to become an immortal, I am afraid it would be difficult to even build a foundation.
So, after five years of struggle, he almost resigned himself to his fate.
"I have the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth, but I can't change this era. Heaven and earth are as they are, there is no need to change, and I do not have the ability. This is a great change unseen in a thousand years, and it is not appropriate for me to get involved too much. As long as I live well, let myself live a wonderful life, and do some small things within my power by the way, it will be in vain. ”
