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

Chapter 324 The Immortal Leaf

Wang Nanzhou and Wang Caiyun held hands and walked towards the village, like a pair of lovers.The autumn wind in the fields seemed to be much gentler, avoiding the ill-fated couple, and carried the withered yellow leaves swirling down.

It wasn't until the backs of the two disappeared that everyone looked away, each with a strange look on their face.

Some elderly people couldn't bear it anymore and said with a dark face:

"Honghe, what does your eldest son want to do?"

"In our Nian'er, no man and woman from the same village have ever been married in the past [-] years. Is your family going to have a reputation?"

"If this spreads out, will we young and old men in Wangjia Village be laughed to death?"

The older aunts held up their sleeves and nodded angrily in agreement; the stubble-faced old man even frowned like a chasm in the sky and sighed, wanting to scold her, but he couldn't help but feel ashamed.The dissatisfaction was held in his heart, which made him even more angry.

"Wang Xiucai, we all thought you were a cowardly playboy in the past. After all, you are always provoking one thing and another, and they are all surprisingly beautiful girls. I didn't expect you!"

A group of older girls and younger wives were equally excited, crowding together and teasing:

"I didn't expect that compared to your elder brother, you are still far behind."

"It's no longer bold to hook up with a girl from the same village, it's simply shocking!"

"If this little pepper rolled into the same bed as Wang Nanzhou, we don't even dare to think about what those people outside would say. The key thing is that the people in the village can't talk about things like this that mess up Gangchang. There is a saying What's your name? I'm ashamed to say it."

After finishing speaking, there was a burst of laughter.

Those young men in their prime were so jealous that their eyes were red, but they had to act like moral gentlemen and hummed in support.

For a time, there were angry people, mocking people, and envious people... Anyway, the crowd was excited.

After being criticized by thousands of people, Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu were speechless and their heads became even more dizzy.Although the two of them had imagined that Little Pepper could become their eldest daughter-in-law, they only dared to think about it in their hearts and didn't even dare to mention it.

But today, Wang Caiyun actually declared her love to her eldest son Wang Nanzhou in front of all the young and old men in the village... She was so enthusiastic, I'm afraid it's just like this for a newlywed couple, right?

At the same time, they knew very well that with their eldest son's honest and honest appearance, it would be a shame if he would tease someone like Little Pepper, let alone take the initiative to hook up with her and form a sworn alliance.Does he know how to write the four words "Eternal vow of eternal love"?

Obviously, this was Wang Caiyun's own idea.This fierce, bold and affectionate woman probably got the words from Wang Nanzhou last night, and understood his situation, and even guessed what the villagers would say about him.Looking at Wang Nanzhou who still did not forget to bring him food despite this situation, it was impossible not to be moved.

Then, she stood up for this man who was sincerely good to her in her own way.As for whether she really loves Wang Nanzhou, reality has already given the answer.

But... isn't this too reckless?After all, if a man and a woman from the same village got married, it would be a joke to people from all over the country.Caiyun didn't care about that girl, but they had an unmarried boy and a daughter who had not left the court, so they couldn't ignore their reputation!
Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu swallowed and looked at the angry young and old men around them. Their hearts were scratching their heads. They wanted to explain but didn't want to. They were completely torn.

"I said, it's been so long. The coffin lid of the old society is almost in ruins. Where did all these feudal ideas come from?"

Looking at his frightened parents, Wang Chengzhou raised the corners of his mouth, walked out slowly, and said lazily:
"What happened to my fellow villagers?"

"We are from the same village but not from the same clan. After all, although Wang Nanzhou wants to call Xiaojiajiao aunt, it is just a polite title. In fact, there is no blood relationship at all."

"Even if you were related by blood, as long as you are in the fifth server and you are from the same village and have the same surname, you can get married. When you get to the Civil Affairs Bureau, they will still issue you a marriage certificate."

"Is it your turn to make irresponsible remarks on things that are permitted by national law?"

After all, he has some prestige. After saying this, the scene became quite quiet.

But some people were still unconvinced and said:
"Chengzhou, that's what you said, but how many of us country people understand the law you mentioned? In our hearts, marriage between people from the same village and the same surname is ultimately a scandal."

"When people laugh at you, it doesn't matter what the law is. Can you still tie them up and send them to the commune?"

"We are doing this for your own good, and especially for the reputation of Wangjiacun. Don't be obsessed with it."

A group of people stopped doing farm work and gathered around, muttering.

Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu looked at them blankly, their eyes were red, and they were silent for a long time.

In fact, in their hearts, what the young and old men said was not wrong. If Wang Nanzhou and Wang Caiyun were together, they would definitely cause quite a stir.But thinking about his poor eldest son, how could he have the heart to separate them as parents?

This is the blessing that Wang Nanzhou has accumulated for several lifetimes!
Wang Chengzhou also knew that as a rural person, it was impossible to completely abandon rural customs. He said it lightly, but in his heart he was also worried about his eldest brother Wang Nanzhou and Wang Caiyun who was about to become his sister-in-law.

However, when he saw the blood-red eyes in front of him, he had an idea.Immediately, he acted carelessly again, waved his hand and said:

"Mom and Dad, why don't you plant crops after listening to the cries of the crickets?"

"Others can say whatever they like! As long as my brother and Sister Caiyun are in love, don't worry about it."

"Look at your eyes. They are almost blinded by the wind and sand. If you don't take care of them in time, your eyesight will definitely be affected when you get old in the future. When I get off work, I will get you some fairy leaves and keep them for tomorrow. Eyes bright and bright.”

Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu thought that he really cared about them, so they quickly smiled bitterly and said: "Three sons, don't bother, parents are not that delicate."

But what they didn't notice was that many people stretched their necks when they heard that Wang Chengzhou could help relieve dry eyes.Especially those little girls, they love beauty the most and cherish their own bodies the most. Not to mention that the three words "fairy leaf" have great magic power, which makes people want to know what it is. How dare you call such a powerful name.

Of course, in addition to them, a group of elderly aunts and uncles could not help but prick up their ears.As people get older, their eyesight will become blurry. In those days, reading glasses were not widely available, so many elderly people were obsessed with protecting their eyesight.

Besides, Wang Chengzhou's miraculous medical skills have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Any strange thing can cure diseases. Now that he is told about such a strange thing as "fairy leaves", how can they not be tempted?

Wang Chengzhou had already noticed the changes in their facial expressions and smiled to himself.However, he did not intend to stop there, but continued to add:
"No trouble, no trouble."

"In autumn, when the climate is dry and exposed to wind and sun, our hands and faces will begin to get chapped. We rural people have to work every day. If we don't pay attention to protecting our skin, we will become yellow-faced women early on." "Mom, I will pick some medicine for you when you get back later and keep it so that you will be radiant and you will no longer be afraid of the chilling autumn wind."

The inappropriate words made Li Yuzhu puzzled, and she blushed slightly and said: "Silly boy, how old is my mother? She has already become a yellow-faced woman. Why bother?" But then, she realized something, and her heart moved, and she hurriedly He changed his mind and said, "Mom doesn't care whether it's pretty or not. But if you said it can protect your skin, then I really have to give it a try."

"We rural women wash dishes and cook all day long. In autumn and winter, our hands are most prone to chapped, and the cracks will cause pain and itching when we go to bed at night, which makes us scratch our heads."

"My dear son, can you even treat this? That's okay. When I get back from work, you can tell my mother quietly."

The couple sang in harmony, just like those who engaged in TV shopping in later generations. Listening to this, the young and old men felt itchy in their hearts, especially wanting to know what was so magical.

Especially those older girls and younger wives, they already love beauty, and Wang Chengzhou's words really touched their pain. It can be seen that he was secretive, as if he was afraid that they would know, and they couldn't help but pout.

A few brave ones took a step forward and said angrily:

"Wang Xiucai, we have treated you so well! If anything happens to us, we will not support you with all our strength, but is this how you treat us?"

"I won't say it anymore. It really makes people feel aggrieved and chilled."

"To be honest, we haven't offended you, right? You have such a good thing, why are you carrying it on your back? No one, young or old, would not praise you, right?"

Those little girls had wrinkled faces. In order to protect their skin, their cheeks were tightly wrapped in gauze. They were like those little old ladies. They were earthy and ugly. They were very pitiful to begin with. The words they said suddenly made them feel sad. Let everyone empathize.

"My eldest nephew, let alone these little wives, my aunt has never said anything bad about you, right? How can you make your aunts sad?"

"That's right. Chengzhou, the last time you jumped into the river to save someone, my uncle lost one of his shoes in order to save you. Tell me how you can protect your eyes."

"Little Chengzhou, these bastards are making fun of your family. Fourth Master, I don't even have teeth. What can you do to cure your eyes? You must know how to be filial to your elders. Our mountains and rivers, Fourth Master has never seen them in his whole life. I’ve seen enough, I want to see a few more times before I die.”

The old man had a bald mouth, revealing red gums, and all his teeth had long since fallen out.He's like this, even if he laughs to death, he won't show his teeth!

The guys couldn't hold back a burst of laughter, and then looked over eagerly.

Wang Chengzhou saw that everyone's mood was almost lifted, so he smiled and said:

"You say you are good to me, but my brother has finally found a family, and you are trying to stop him in every possible way. Are you really good to me?"

"I have already said that the old feudal ideas of the old society should have been thrown into the cesspit a long time ago. As long as there is no blood relationship, as long as both people are single, as long as the man and woman are mutually willing, there is nothing that cannot be together."

"If you really support me, Wang Chengzhou, and my brother's affairs, don't bite your tongue. If the scoundrels outside laugh at our Wangjia Village, you can just use the words I just said to yell back at you. Can you do that?"

Everyone didn't expect that he was waiting for them here, so they couldn't help but look at each other.

"I can do it! Wang Xiucai, I can do it! Just tell me!"

"Me, me, I can do it! If anyone dares to make irresponsible remarks about Brother Chengzhou and Aunt Caiyun, I will tear his mouth to pieces!"

"That's right! What Wang Xiucai said is very reasonable! We are in a new society now, and the law does not care. How can we get those guys outside who don't know a few Chinese characters to talk too much? Don't worry, I support you with both hands!"

The older generation was still hesitant, but a bunch of little girls didn't care so much and started to rebel collectively.Seeing them defecting, how could the aunts, uncles, and breasts still hold back?In an instant, the army was defeated like a mountain, and one by one began to express their loyalty.

Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu grinned and held it in for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back their laughter.

Wang Chengzhou couldn't help but laugh. Feeling everyone's enthusiasm, he pressed his hands and said, "Okay. In fact, I just complained a few words. As a village health worker, it is my duty to serve the people. How could I do this to someone else?" Don’t you guys care about it?”

Everyone secretly curled their lips when they heard this, and said to themselves: Anyway, it's all your fault, whatever you say...

Wang Chengzhou coughed lightly and said seriously:
"Yesterday, I noticed that everyone was blinded by the wind and sand. Their eyes were all red and they were rubbing their eyes from time to time."

"Not to mention that when we work in the fields, our hands and faces are full of bacteria. It is very unhygienic to rub our eyes directly. If we do this for a long time, our eyes will be tired for a long time, which will definitely affect our vision."

"So, that night I came up with a good medicine to help everyone relieve eye fatigue, treat red, swollen and painful eyes, and dark eyes. And this medicine is called fairy leaf."

When you heard this, you felt moved in your heart. You didn't expect that he had actually planned to treat your eyes since yesterday...

After doing this for a long time, I really started to judge a gentleman with a villain's heart.

Wang Chengzhou is a good hygienist!
However, many people still have questions after hearing the words "Fairy Leaf":

"Wang Xiucai, what exactly is the fairy leaf?"

"You also know that we are extremely poor. We don't even have money to pay for the medicine when we treat a headache or a cold with you. We have always been in debt to you... This fairy leaf sounds like it is not a simple thing. Do you want money?"

"If you still have to spend money to buy medicinal materials from the drug store, then... forget it."

When a group of young ladies and young wives heard this, they immediately became nervous and looked at him eagerly, really wanting to protect their big, clear eyes.

Wang Chengzhou smiled, shook his head and said:
"When have I ever asked you to spend a lot of money to treat a disease?"

"You are poor, and I am not rich either. You are all poor, haha. How can I ask you to spend money on eye care?"

"This fairy leaf sounds very scary, but in fact, it is just a mulberry leaf. However, it is the kind of frost mulberry leaf that has not fallen to the ground after being beaten by frost. There has just been an autumn frost in the past few days, isn't it the right time?"

——Thank you to Brother Yuzi for the 100-point reward!
