Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 188 Old things
After Lao Litou left, Mu Zhen was still concerned about the health of Mr. Ma, and immediately asked Mr. Ma: "When we came in just now, we saw that you were in so much pain. The pill you took is really a magic medicine. It's like magic, what's going on?"

Before Mr. Ma could answer, Hu Guoqing took it and said: "Hey! Didn't you read what was written on the medicine bottle just now? It's Suxiao Jiuxin Pill. The disease is in the heart, which is caused by insufficient blood supply to the heart! After taking the medicine, the heart will supply blood It's alright, there's nothing wrong with it!"

The three of them listened carefully to Hu Guoqing's explanation. As soon as Hu Guoqing finished speaking, Mu Bao's eyes widened in shock: "Then what if the medicine is not taken in time?"

"The little ghost is a clever ghost. If you don't take the medicine in time, my old man's life is hanging by a thread. If you don't take it in time, you will die!" Ma Sanye said, looking at Mu Bao's round face.

"Uncle Li just told you that you should not take it lightly and go to the hospital for an examination!" Mu Zhen said with some worry.

"It's old and sick. A person is like a machine. When you get old, it's like a worn-out machine. It doesn't work anymore. Seeing a doctor is just a comfort to yourself!" Ma Sanye said with a long sigh.

Everyone was silent, and it was inconvenient to say anything else. There is always a time when people get old, and everyone can't escape the torture of age.

Mu Zhen heard Ma Sanye saying that he was old, so she didn't dare to continue.My father once reminded himself that when talking to Mr. Ma, don't ask him how old he is. Asking how old he is will only make you feel embarrassed, and you will get nothing. Therefore, when Mr. Ma talks about old topics, you can only listen to him silently. If you say you are old, wouldn't it be uncomfortable for others to say it out loud?

The silence of the few people was broken by the smart Hu Guoqing. It was his idea to meet Mr. Ma today, so he naturally had a lot to say. Although Mu Zhen didn't know what he wanted to say, since he came, there was a reason for it. .

"We came to you yesterday to ask you for advice. Those rare characters are not a problem at all. You are a living textbook, which can be said to be more precious than existing textbooks!" Hu Guoqing knew, People always like to listen to auspicious words. This seems to be a law. Especially for a person who meets for the first time, it is more suitable to warm his heart with a few words that make him feel comfortable, so as to arouse emotional resonance. The following topics are also easy to talk about. It's much more natural!
"You can talk, kid. When I saw you yesterday, it was like seeing someone from before. Listening to you now reminds me of this person even more!" Ma Sanye said unhurriedly, staring at Hu Guoqing's face.

Hu Guoqing originally wanted to talk about the past from Ma Sanye's Kangxi dictionary, but he didn't expect Ma Sanye to mention the old man himself. Should be more exciting.So he widened his eyes and asked, "Speak slowly, I'll pour you a glass of water!"

After Hu Guoqing finished speaking, he stood up, picked up the kettle on the table, poured a glass of water and put it in front of Mr. Ma.

"This predecessor is my benefactor. Speaking of it, he really has some origins. He was a scholar in the previous dynasty. Although he was only a scholar, in my opinion, he is very talented. He knows everything about poetry, calligraphy, music and painting. He Seeing things into poetry, although there are no poems handed down to the world, it is not because he is not good at writing, but because he wrote them down, because there was no money to print them in the war-torn era, so they were not handed down. The legacy of lower script, as for music theory and traditional Chinese painting, is also very solid. Since ancient times, romantic people have been talented people. Such a talented person, but like Pu Songling, the author of "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", who failed repeatedly, naturally became discouraged I was cold, so I became a private school teacher." Ma Sanye's words, except that Mu Bao sounded like a story, to Hu Guoqing and Mu Zhen, they felt that this scholar could not be an outsider, so they would naturally be different from Hu Guoqing. Related, otherwise, why would Mr. Ma see Hu Guoqing in front of him and think of this gentleman?

"Mr. Private School, he is the current teacher!" Hu Guoqing saw that Mr. Ma stopped, and interjected by the way.

If this is normal, with the temper of Mr. Ma, the younger ones absolutely cannot interrupt the speech of the elders, otherwise they will face down and let the younger ones know what is wrong, but today is different. This kid helped him a lot just now, so it's useless to say more words of thanks, and besides, this Hu Guoqing in front of him might have some relationship with him!
"Yes, the difference from the current teachers is that Mr. Private School was invited by rich people, while the current teacher is invited by the state. He was teaching in our village at that time, and many people in our village have done his work. Student." Mr. Ma picked up his cup, took a sip of water, and continued: "In the second year of teaching, a very unusual thing happened! There is a lady from the Wang family in our village who has taken a fancy to this Mr. At that time, Mr. Wang had a wife in private school, so the elders of the Wang family strongly disagreed, and Mr. Wang could not teach in the village. Before returning home, he held my hand and said, "You are the best student I have ever taught. This "Kangxi Dictionary" is reserved for you as a souvenir!', I never thought that this dictionary would become a permanent memorial. Later, when my husband returned home, he got a serious illness and almost lost his life. This Miss Wang is also a fierce woman. He threw himself into the river because of love, and the Wang family felt ashamed to face others, so the whole family moved to another place, and they have not been heard from since then."

"Mr. Hu must not be far from our village, right?" Mu Zhen felt that Mr. Ma had finished speaking, so she asked softly.

"Now that we have bicycles, we are very close. In the past, it was all on two legs. It took more than an hour to get from our village to his place!" Ma Sanye replied.

"Are you in Xiali Village, sir?" Hu Guoqing guessed from the beginning of Ma Sanye's talk that it was very likely that it was about his ancestors, but he didn't say it because of the marriage. Now he heard Ma Sanye said that he and his ancestors had The girl asked impatiently when her family moved out for the festival.

"Yes, it's Xiali Village!" Ma Sanye said with certainty.

"I am from Xiali Village, and the father and son Sanxiu of Xiali Village are the ancestors of my family. You should be talking about my grandfather's grandfather!" Hu Guoqing immediately revealed his life experience.

"Yesterday when I saw you for the first time, I felt very familiar. From your face, it seemed that I saw the reincarnation of your ancestor. It has been more than seventy years since I took over his dictionary. Speaking of these words, I can still vividly remember that my mentor has valued me, and I can't repay it. When I met you, a junior, it was considered a manifestation of your ancestors, and now it will finally return to the original owner!" Ma Sanye said Finished, motioned for Mu Zhen to pull out the bookcase from under the bed.

Seeing this, Mu Zhen immediately stood up, walked to the bed, bent down and pulled out a bookcase under the bed, and moved it to Ma Sanye with difficulty. "Dictionary", handed it to Hu Guoqing and said: "This dictionary has accompanied me for decades. It helped me a lot when I opened a school. I am very grateful to you sir. Now I only keep it. Collection, my time is very limited, now transfer it to your collection!"

When Hu Guoqing took the dictionary from Ma Sanye, he felt heavy, tears filled his eyes instantly, and he didn't know what to say.

Mu Zhen just heard the story, but now she was moved by the scene in front of her, and her eyes immediately felt moist.
