Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 322 It's a Big Thing!

Wheat harvesting is a very important agricultural activity of the year, usually carried out around the Double Ninth Festival. In those years when there were no large-scale agricultural machinery, it was particularly arduous.

In the early morning, when the sky was slightly bright, the family set out with shovels and rakes.

As the weather turned colder, the dry weeds on the roadside were already covered with white frost, making them feel greasy when stepped on.If Wang Aiduo were here, he would definitely not let this fun thing go, and he would definitely run around laughing like a fool.

But now, only Wang Chengzhou was playing alone.Under the doting eyes of his mother Li Yuzhu, he feels childish while experiencing the fun that the changing seasons bring to country people.

The most delicate touch of life is reserved only for the most hard-working people.

Of course, for most members who have to get up early in the morning to work in the fields, this feeling is not necessary.Because, except for the biting morning wind and the sky full of loess, they could hardly feel anything else.

After all, there are only a few people who can enjoy hardships like Wang Chengzhou.

Especially those older girls and younger daughters-in-law, who were very angry early in the morning. After listening to the village cadres’ incomprehensible nagging, they became impatient and started shouting:

"Okay, okay, now there is no tiger in the mountain and the monkey is the king, right?"

"Our village chief finally fell ill and couldn't come, so I can't show you off enough. The little wind is howling, and everyone is as cold as a fool, so you can stop saying a few words."

"It's just a matter of going over and over again, as if no one likes to hear it!"

The guys shrank their necks and burst into laughter. These complaints obviously spoke to their hearts.

The village cadre who was speaking was not happy. He immediately glared and said, "You little bitches know how to bully the weak and fear the strong. Why don't you dare to say anything when the village chief speaks?"

"We are not stupid!"

A group of big girls and young wives burst out laughing and said sweetly:

"Isn't it because the village chief is not here?"

"I heard that our village chief has leg pain, and even Dao'er won't be able to leave. I guess the world will be in ruins for a while."

"All the officials are gone, and you are still acting serious. Who can you show this to?"

Without restraint, these little ladies are really like herding sheep, making the scene noisy.

The village cadre stared with anger and shouted:

"Who told you that there are many village chiefs who will bring trouble to the world?"

"I went to the commune to ask for a doctor last night. I think he should be here soon."

"To tell you the truth, the village chief only has leg pain, and it's not a serious illness. He can be cured just by talking. You all should be honest!"

The crowd laughed again.

However, thinking of Wang Tielin's old face that looked like the bottom of a pot, those older girls and younger wives did stop a lot, chattering around and chatting together.

Not long after, a few cattle came in the morning light, and everyone hurriedly hitched the plow.

After working hard until the sun rose, Li Yuzhu and Wang Honghe realized that their eldest son Wang Nanzhou had not arrived, and they couldn't help but feel worried.

Everyone knows what happened in their family, and everyone comforts them with kindness.

Some ladies even boasted about Haikou and said:

"Yuzhu, let's leave now. Your Nan Zhou is such an honest and hard-working child, are you still worried about not finding a new home?"

"If Dou Xuemei is really heartless to the end, my sister-in-law will personally act as a matchmaker for the eldest son of your family."

"As for those bastard things about breaking shoes, others don't know it, but we young and old men don't know it yet? How could a child from the village, Xiao Laojiao and Wang Nanzhou, be like brothers and sisters, do such a thing! Don't say I don't believe it. , no one would believe anyone we randomly pull out!"

Everyone comforted her, and Li Yuzhu felt better and her heart gradually calmed down.

But around noon, a man suddenly walked over from the path at the entrance of the village, holding a child in his arms. He heard whimpering sounds far away.

Although an old man burst into tears and was very embarrassed, everyone was still shocked by his sadness. They all held their shovels and raised their faces to watch.

As I got closer, I realized that the person coming was none other than Wang Nanzhou.

However, at this moment, this honest man's face was full of tears, and the baby in his arms was making a fuss and crying loudly.

When Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu saw it, they were so frightened that they immediately dropped the thing in their hands, stepped on the newly turned soil, staggered up and ran up, staring and asking: "What's going on? What's going on?"

Old and young men couldn't help but crowd around.

When Wang Nanzhou saw his parents, his eyes finally regained focus, but his face was still full of fear, and he stammered: "Father, mother, Dou Xuemei divorced me!"

Everyone's expressions immediately became heavy.

Although some people said it lightly just now, in those days, divorce was really not a trivial matter. It not only represented the breakup of a family, but also the breakup between two families.

Moreover, both spouses have to bear a heavy price.

However, the deal is done and there is no point in worrying anymore.

Li Yuzhu's throat squirmed, and she finally recovered from the shock. She quickly closed her mouth, pulled her son who almost fell to the ground crying, and said comfortingly:
"Leave and leave."

"Anyway, that woman didn't intend to live a good life when she came into our house. Every day is either one thing or another. It's hard to survive."

"My parents are here, and you're not very old. We can't help but find another one. The Chinese New Year will be in a few months, so we can let the young and old take care of us when we have time. We will try to get married by the end of the year and have a double happiness." !”

Wang Honghe glanced at her and didn't expect that she could be so heartless and say such things.My heart also cheered up, and I silently patted my son on the shoulder.

But the sadness on Wang Nanzhou's face showed no sign of abating, and he said blankly:
"I can't marry anymore, I can't marry anymore."

"Father, mother, Dou Xuemei took everything away from the house, leaving only an empty house."

"Everything... we have accumulated over the years, not even a grain of food left."

"What?!"

Li Yuzhu's expression changed drastically, she grabbed his arm and shook him:
"Did that woman take away everything in the house?"

"You silly boy! Why didn't you stop me?"

"Even if we get divorced, it's impossible for her to divide all the family property alone, right? What will you and your children do? Will this allow anyone to live?"

Wang Honghe stumbled even more, his eyes almost turned red, and he shouted:

"Where is she? Let's go find her!"

"How can anyone do something so brilliantly?" "This is leaving no way for people to survive!"

Wang Nanzhou turned around numbly, his eyes still filled with fear, and shouted: "It was the commune that decided it, and someone from the commune is here!"

Wang Chengzhou frowned and finally couldn't help but walked up and said in a deep voice: "Brother, do you think this division of property is an order from the commune?"

"Three children."

Seeing him, Wang Nanzhou finally had a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and said with a trembling voice:
"Yes. The people from the commune said that, to be fair, I should be sentenced to leave the house. However, due to the special circumstances, the current punishment has been given with special care."

"But, what's the point? I just took care of Little Pepper, but there's really nothing between us."

"Now, apart from Xiao Haibo, I really have nothing, nothing."

Seeing his heartbroken look, everyone gathered around and whispered, their faces full of pity, but no one dared to come up to complain.

Wang Chengzhou's heart trembled, and he had already realized the intention above.

Thinking about it carefully, his original guess was too optimistic after all regarding the current social climate.

In this age where anyone with a few feet can take a shot, although the eldest brother Wang Nanzhou and Wang Caiyun really have nothing to do with each other, they have caused a considerable social impact after all. In a day or two, it is estimated that the entire Wang family production brigade members Everyone knows this shit.

Regardless of whether the eldest brother broke the shoes or not, the reputation of breaking the shoes has spread.In order to stabilize the social atmosphere and eliminate the resulting impact, the commune must deal with it seriously.

Besides, the eldest brother did go to the ruined temple to take care of a woman of the same age without his wife's consent during marriage.It was difficult for him to explain this kind of thing clearly.

Wang Chengzhou was silent for a while.

In the final analysis, I am just a small village health worker with a little ability. Others may give me some bad reviews, but they will not change my attitude towards one thing because of me.

Putting aside the melancholy in my heart, the most important thing right now is how to help eldest brother Wang Nanzhou and his son tide over the difficulties.He worked hard for a whole year, but all the food was taken away, not even a quilt was left.Seeing that winter is coming, rations and clothing must be prepared for him.

However, in order to save the pine trees on the hillock at the head of the village, he had spent almost all his money, and even the 160 yuan he borrowed from Xu Xiaozhi was not much left...

Moreover, he also misappropriated the bonuses from hunting wild boars and bears without having time to distribute them to the educated youth comrades.Although they actively asked Wang Chengzhou to use "smart soup" instead, they still left a knot in their hearts.

Smart soup!
Thinking of this, Wang Chengzhou became anxious again.Counting the days, there are indeed only a few days left until the ninth day of September... If I can make some money by then, not only will it be able to solve the life problems of my eldest brother Wang Nanzhou and his son, but my own plan to build a small pharmacy can also be put on the agenda.

If you can have a small clinic, even just a small house, you can at least make a living from it.

Wang Chengzhou's plan was very thorough and he was very confident, but a group of villagers didn't think much of their family.

Especially Wang Nanzhou.

Just now, many ladies talked enthusiastically to Li Yuzhu, promising to find a matchmaker for him after his eldest brother divorced. However, when they heard that his family was so poor that there was only an empty house left, their enthusiasm instantly cooled down. He went down, as if he had amnesia, and never mentioned what he just said again.

After all, both father and son have food and clothing problems. Which woman is willing to marry and suffer?

This damn day passed by in a flash, and at dinner time, Wang Nanzhou and his son had no choice but to come to their parents' home.

Wang Aiduo hugged his little nephew. After hearing the cause and effect, he became so angry that he started saying those incomprehensible words again, which made the whole family roll their eyes.

Li Yuzhu and Wang Honghe were too lazy to pay attention to her and quickly washed their hands and prepared dinner.

It was getting dusk, Wang Nanzhou was holding the rice bowl in his hand, and suddenly hesitated, murmured, and asked a little guiltily, "Mom, can I give the rice to Little Pepper first?"

Li Yuzhu shook his head, stood up quickly, prepared a crock for him, and blamed himself:

"Look at me, how could I forget this?"

"Hurry up, hurry up! It will get colder and colder in the future, and that girl has a big belly, so she can't be embarrassed when it comes to eating."

"Hey, I originally wanted to let her live at your place, but now your home is almost like a ruined temple... If you let her come here at the risk of being stigmatized, we feel a little sorry."

Wang Nanzhou lowered his head, listened to her nagging, silently packed the food, and trotted out of the house.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left, Guo Shumei came over from next door carrying a rice bowl.As soon as he entered the door, he raised his neck and chuckled: "Auntie, something big has happened!"

In the past few days, Li Yuzhu was exhausted mentally and physically by all kinds of messy things. When she heard the word "big trouble", her eyelids jumped, and she said angrily: "Shumei, what's the big thing happening every day?" Have you encountered them all?"

"Auntie, from what you said, it sounds like I am someone who likes to inquire about things."

Guo Shumei glanced at her without realizing anything, moved closer and said, "Our village chief is vomiting blood!"

"What?!"

Li Yuzhu stood up in shock and looked at each other with Wang Honghe, who was also stunned.After being stunned for a while, he frowned and said:
"Shumei, you are talking nonsense. Uncle Tielin's leg hurts, why is he vomiting blood?"

"Also, vomiting blood is really not a trivial matter. How can you still laugh like this?"

"Shumei, let me tell you, if we don't deal with each other, we can't take pleasure in others' misfortunes when life and death are at stake."

Guo Shumei took a sip of the soup, waved her hands, laughed again, almost choked herself, and coughed:

"Auntie, from what you said, vomiting blood will not necessarily lead to death."

"Let me tell you, the reason why our village chief vomited blood was because he took the medicine prescribed to him by the doctor in the commune!"

"Yesterday, I said that leg pain was not a serious illness, but today I made such a fuss. He came here for treatment, but he almost died, but it's scary."

After finishing speaking, he looked straight at Wang Chengzhou and smiled.

The whole family was stunned.

Wang Aiduo hugged Xiao Haibo and looked over with big eyes.

They were all waiting for him to give an explanation.

Wang Chengzhou was speechless as he gnawed on the steamed bun.I'm not a god, so I can't figure out what's going on with just a few words.

But in response to the family's tireless thirst for knowledge, they still scratched their heads and casually said:

"As I said yesterday, Wang Tielin's leg pain was due to the cold."

"There is a saying in traditional Chinese medicine that 'if there is no flow, there will be pain, and if there is no flow, there will be pain'. The meridians all over the human body are circulating and circulating endlessly. If cold air enters the meridians, it will be slow and weeping. If it is outside the meridians, there will be less blood. If it is outside the meridians, there will be less blood. If it is outside the meridians, there will be less blood. In the middle, the Qi is blocked, so the pain is sudden."

"If you want to dispel the cold, you must take hot medicine to sweat, but excessive sweating will damage the qi and blood. If my guess is correct, Wang Tielin not only vomited blood after taking the medicine, but the pain became more severe."

Hearing his words, Guo Shumei opened her mouth so much that she was so shocked that she dropped the buns in her hand...
