Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Finding Ding Qiunan for acupuncture is not urgent after all. The top priority right now is actually celebrating the New Year.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, what Cao Zhiqiang needs to do most is actually have a good New Year at home.

Although Cao Zhiqiang has moved out of the courtyard long ago, his family's old house still remains in the courtyard.

As for the old house in the courtyard, legally speaking, it is still Cao Zhiqiang's property.

On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, Cao Zhiqiang put on new clothes and took Wu Qinghong, who was also wearing new clothes, back to the courtyard with scattered firecrackers.

During the Chinese New Year, of course I have to spend it with my family.

Cao Zhiqiang's current family is naturally his sister's family.

So it’s natural to come back for the Chinese New Year.

As for Wu Qinghong, she should go to Shanghai to live with her parents.

After all, Wu Qinghong is not married yet.

But Wu Qinghong didn't want to go back, so she simply went with Cao Zhiqiang.

Anyway, although they are not married yet, people who know actually assume that they are a couple, and there is nothing to say.

As soon as I entered the gate of the courtyard, I happened to meet the third aunt.

"Ouch, ouch!" Third Aunt said exaggeratedly, "Isn't this Cao Zhiqiang? What kind of wind brought you here?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "As you said, the New Year is coming soon. If I don't come back here, where will I go back?"

"That's right." Third Aunt smiled, "No matter where you go, this is your hometown."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly and nodded.

Indeed, he walked out from here, and this is indeed his hometown.

At this time, Wu Qinghong smiled and handed a red handbag to Aunt Three with both hands: "Aunt Three, this is ginseng and royal jelly. A small gift is not respectful. Please keep it."

"Oh, why is this so embarrassing?" Third Aunt took it over with a smile, not feeling embarrassed at all.

In response, Cao Zhiqiang still smiled noncommittally and did not stop him or say anything more.

In fact, Wu Qinghong bought these gifts, and Cao Zhiqiang paid for them at most.

Therefore, whoever Wu Qinghong wants to give it to is her freedom.

Even though many of the gifts Wu Qinghong bought were IQ taxes in Cao Zhiqiang's opinion, he didn't say much.

If we want to talk about it, we have to wait until after the New Year.

Take this ginseng royal jelly for example. If this thing was really ginseng royal jelly, it would be sky-highly expensive.

Ginseng is fine, but the key thing is royal jelly, which is very scarce now.

So this is most likely just sugar water, with at most some ginseng soup or some honey added to it.

Don't think about its health-care function, but if you drink it as sugar water or take it as a placebo, the effect is still somewhat good.

Especially the placebo effect.

If a person thinks that this food is very powerful and will make him feel better when he eats it, then there is a high probability that he will really feel in good health, and in the long run, his health will really be better.

In the final analysis, this is psychological comfort, and psychological comfort is very effective in medicine.

But the most important thing is that Wu Qinghong bought it.

She was kind enough to buy a gift, but it would be too much to hit her again.

And she was happy with the purchase, and that was enough.

If being fooled can provide emotional value, it's worth it.

But it’s not good to be lied to all the time.

I can only wait until the Chinese New Year and then educate her about it, so as not to continue to be fooled.

But when it comes to this, Cao Zhiqiang has to lament the Chinese people's ability to fake.

How long has it been since we reopened? Counterfeit products are rampant on the market, and false propaganda abounds.

The key is that most of the fakes are produced by large state-owned factories.

For example, this ginseng royal jelly is a product produced by a large state-owned factory in the east. It is advertised as a god, and its claims of longevity and white hair turning black are all basic.

This also explains why the later Hua Turtle Spirit, Sun God, etc. became so popular.

There is simply a market for this.

In addition, Cao Zhiqiang also found that it is now becoming popular all over the country.

Basically in the morning or evening, no matter how cold it is, you can see a group of old men and women, and even many middle-aged and young people.

Those people didn't look like they were joking, they were really practicing seriously.

These situations have all just appeared recently. Although they have happened before, they are not so outrageous.

Cao Zhiqiang couldn't help feeling that there is a long way to go to unlock people's wisdom, and a swarm effect is probably coming.

Yes, being obsessed with health products, in the final analysis, is due to insufficient scientific literacy.

This principle is just like the people in the past who were obsessed with praying to gods and worshiping Buddha.

Just praying to gods and worshiping Buddhas is pretty much broken after breaking the four olds.

But after the reform, with the introduction of external information, especially martial arts novels, everyone began to become obsessed with health products again.

Of course, in addition to insufficient scientific literacy, it is also related to the insufficient medical level in the country.

If the medical level could keep up and the promotion of medicine could keep up, there wouldn't be so many weird things.

But to solve these problems, we have to rely on the power of the country, and we have to do it slowly. It is definitely not something Cao Zhiqiang can solve.

Therefore, he could only lament these situations, then stay away from them, and then warn those around him not to believe them.

For example, Wu Qinghong, Cao Zhiqiang repeatedly told her that it was useless and a waste of time.

Instead of going for a run, you might as well practice the Wu Qin Xi he got from Dr. Ding.

He tried Wuqinxi and it felt similar to aerobics, but many of the movements were more intense than aerobics.

If you insist on playing Wu Qin Xi for a long time, it should be good for your health.

Especially the Wu Qin Xi given by Dr. Ding, there are many stretching movements.

Cao Zhiqiang knows the benefits of Lajin on the body.

It can be seen from this that it is not that there were no good things in ancient my country, but people used them in the wrong place.

For example, things like Wuqinxi are essentially gymnastics to strengthen the body, which is somewhat similar to yoga.

If you insist on relying on Wu Qin Xi in terms of martial arts, and then find that Wu Qin Xi cannot be fought, and then infer that Wu Qin Xi is useless, you are making trouble.

There is also the Chinese medicine prescription prescribed by Dr. Ding to Cao Zhiqiang.

Frankly speaking, when he first started taking traditional Chinese medicine, Cao Zhiqiang did not feel any obvious changes in his body except that he felt a bit bitter.

If Cao Zhiqiang’s later generations had not recognized traditional Chinese medicine and insisted on drinking it, they would not have known the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine.

Cao Zhiqiang started drinking Chinese medicine very early, so he is very aware of how quickly Chinese medicine takes effect.

At first, when he took the Chinese medicine, he really had no reaction and everything was the same as before.

But when he took Chinese medicine for more than a month and a half, he found that his energy was getting better and better.

After drinking traditional Chinese medicine for more than two months, sexual intercourse has also been slightly enhanced, and this enhancement can be clearly felt.

For example, if you had sex for less than five minutes, and most of the rest of the time was foreplay.

Then after you take Chinese medicine for a long time, you suddenly find that you can last for eight minutes when fighting with others.

Don't underestimate this three-minute extension. In fact, in terms of real intercourse, this is a great improvement. If I continue, I can last another ten minutes. This is all obvious.

It was precisely because of this that Cao Zhiqiang insisted on seeing Dr. Ding for medical treatment and did not change doctors again.

In addition to not wanting too many people to know about this kind of thing, this is also because Dr. Ding’s Chinese medicine really works.

Of course, sex is only one aspect.

The real effect is actually the improvement of energy.

Based on Cao Zhiqiang's current living situation, if his energy improves a little bit, his work efficiency and the value he creates will be immeasurable.

For example, if Cao Zhiqiang sleeps half an hour less, he will be able to create more. No, he will plagiarize many hit songs, and the profits he can bring after promoting them are immeasurable.

"Zhiqiang, it's time to go, what are you thinking about?"

Wu Qinghong's gentle tug caused Cao Zhiqiang's wandering mind to return to its original position.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just suddenly thought of some business."

Cao Zhiqiang had no choice but to find an excuse.

Wu Qinghong pursed her lips and shook her head: "Really, what time has it been, and you still think about these things. If you are celebrating the New Year, don't even think about work. Go see our sister as soon as possible. It is serious to celebrate the New Year well."

Speaking of this, Wu Qinghong said to Aunt Three: "Aunt Three, we are going back first, wish you a happy New Year."

"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go." Third Aunt nodded happily.

In this way, Cao Zhiqiang was led by Wu Qinghong and continued to walk west across the courtyard.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the Xikua Courtyard. As soon as they arrived, they saw two children lighting firecrackers in the middle.

Bang!

A sudden sound of firecrackers made Cao Zhiqiang tremble.

On the contrary, it was Wu Qinghong who smiled generously and said: "Wenfang, Wenxuan, look who is here?"

Two children, a boy and a girl who were playing with firecrackers, turned around and saw that it was Cao Zhiqiang and Wu Qinghong.

Xia Wenfang, the eldest, immediately smiled and said: "It's uncle and aunt."

"Happy New Year to my aunt, Happy New Year to my uncle!" his younger brother Xia Wenxuan laughed.

"Uncle and aunt, bring me the red envelope!" Xia Wenfang stretched out her hands.

Xia Wenxuan quickly followed suit and stretched out his hands.

"This kid." Cao Zhiqiang was speechless for a while, "It's not the first day of junior high school yet, what kind of red envelope do you want?"

"Hahaha." Wu Qinghong was very happy, especially when she heard her aunt's name.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Qinghong put down the large and small bags in her hands and took out two stacks of five-yuan bills from her arms: "Here, my aunt will give you a red envelope."

"Thank you, aunt!" Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan rushed over with smiles.

Just when Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan took the banknotes from Wu Qinghong.

Cao Jiajia walked out of the main room: "Oh, you are here, how can you pay me back?"

"Mom, look!" Xia Wenfang ran over excitedly, holding up a stack of bills in her hand, "I have fifty yuan! Fifty!"

"Me too!" Xia Wenxuan also ran over excitedly, "I also have fifty. Mom, look, it's really fifty!"

"Ah!" Cao Jiajia was startled and said quickly, "I can't do it, it's too much. How can I give my child so much money? Take it back quickly!"

Wu Qinghong smiled and said: "Sister, it's all New Year's money for the children, how can I get it back? It's okay, this little money is nothing. You don't know what's going on with your brother?"

Cao Zhiqiang also smiled slightly: "Yes, sister, it's the Chinese New Year, forget it, a little money is nothing."

"How can that be done?" Cao Jiajia said, "No matter how rich you are, it's still your money. You can't give so much to your children! If you give your children too much money, you will spoil them!"

Speaking of this, Cao Jiajia said to her two children: "Come here, give me the money, and I will return it to your uncle."

After hearing what Cao Jiajia said, Cao Wenfang and Cao Wenxuan had no choice but to hand over their money to Cao Jiajia.

Then Cao Jiajia will return the money to Cao Zhiqiang.

Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand: "Sister, you are wrong. Qinghong is right, how can you get back the New Year's money? Of course, the child is yours and we have no control over it. If you feel it is not appropriate to give this money to your child, just Save it for them.”

Cao Jiajia thought about it, so she nodded: "Okay, then I will keep the money first, and then I will give it to the children when they grow up."

Cao Zhiqiang was speechless for a while. He really didn't know what Cao Jiajia was thinking.

In fact, Cao Jiajia is no longer a money-hungry owner.

After all, Cao Jiajia is still the manager of Shiweitian and her income is not low.

As for her husband, Xia Siming, he currently works as the director of the Sino-Japanese joint venture Chaoyang Electronics Factory, and his income is not low.

Why is my biological sister still so picky?

I understand, old habits die hard.

If you are used to searching, it will be difficult to change your original habit even if you get richer in the future.

Just like some big bosses, they don't like to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, but they like to eat millet porridge with pickles. It's purely because they were used to eating that when they were young, which may not mean they are so simple.

After collecting her child's money, Cao Jiajia smiled and said, "Come in quickly, it's cold outside."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and entered the house with Wu Qinghong.

As soon as he entered, Cao Zhiqiang's expression changed.

Because he discovered that there were two people in the room.

One of them is Xia Siming, his brother-in-law.

The other person was something he didn't expect, because it was Yu Yuanyuan!

What the hell is going on?

On New Year's Eve, do you want to play Shura Field with me?

Just when Cao Zhiqiang's expression froze.

Wu Qinghong had already asked about Yu Yuanyuan: "Hey, brother-in-law, this is..."

Xia Siming's expression changed. Just as he was about to speak, Cao Jiajia, who followed from behind, smiled first and said, "Oh, this is Nurse Yu. She is here for a visit."

"Visit?" Wu Qinghong was stunned, "What kind of visit?"

Cao Jiajia smiled and said: "Oh, my wife is not in good health, and she is not hospitalized, so the hospital comes regularly to visit and investigate."

"Oh, that's right." Wu Qinghong said with a relieved expression, "Nurse Yu, thank you for your hard work. You still have to come here for a visit during the Chinese New Year."

Yu Yuanyuan stared at Wu Qinghong, and then smiled slightly: "It's nothing, it's all responsibilities."

Wu Qinghong smiled, casually put the things in her hands on the ground, then walked over and smiled at Yu Yuanyuan: "No matter what, Nurse Yu is worthy of admiration for being so dedicated to her duties.

By the way, my brother-in-law's health is okay, right? "

Yu Yuanyuan glanced at Cao Zhiqiang, then smiled at Wu Qinghong: "No problem, it's good."

"Oh, that's it." Wu Qinghong nodded, "In that case, I'd better go back to Nurse Yu as soon as possible to reunite with my family and spend the New Year together, so don't stay here anymore."

Speaking of this, Wu Qinghong looked at Cao Jiajia: "Sister, do you think so?"

Cao Jiajia smiled dryly: "Yes, that's right."

Upon hearing Wu Qinghong's words, Yu Yuanyuan took a deep breath, took a deep look at Wu Qinghong again, then smiled slightly, stood up and said:

"Forget it, since I have seen the real owner and it seems there is no problem, I will go back first.

Since it’s Chinese New Year, I won’t stay and cause trouble for you all.

However, if you are sick, you still need to go back for more check-ups.

After all, some diseases cannot be postponed! "

After saying these words, Yu Yuanyuan smiled at Xia Siming and Cao Jiajia respectively, then stood up and passed Cao Zhiqiang with a straight face, minding her own business.
