The leisurely life of rebirth.

Mung beans are really hard to find in foreign countries. I remember that Fang Monan was angry at the time and wanted to find some mung beans that had failed the fire. He searched all the supermarkets and vegetable markets in New York and found them in a Chinese medicine store.There are a lot of this stuff in China, and there are grain stores and supermarkets. "It's available in traditional Chinese medicine stores. It's often eaten when cooking porridge. You don't need to put more at a time, just a handful." Fang Monan continued: "Mung beans are cool in nature and taste Sweet, has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, relieving summer heat and annoyance, quenching thirst and invigorating stomach, etc. There is also mung bean antidote, so you can’t eat it while taking traditional Chinese medicine.”

"Hey! Wait, I'll write it down." Johnson took out a notebook and pen from his pocket, and wrote it down in detail.

"There is also a prescription here for you to take a bath." Fang Monan wrote out a prescription, "The Chinese medicine stores in Chinatown have all the Chinese medicines you need, and the price is not expensive."

As an observer, Thomas looked at Joseph curiously, and his complexion was obviously much better than when he first came.When he first arrived, he was haggard and his eyes were dull and without a trace of brilliance.After waking up, although I couldn't immediately feel refreshed, my eyes were clear, clear, pure and shining, and I was much more energetic. "This changes so much after a night's sleep."

Fang Monan smiled and said gently: "Of course, the quality of sleep directly affects the quality of life. About 13% of life is spent in sleep, and proper sleep is essential to human health. Sleep It helps the brain to rest, restore its excitability, and make people energetic.” She smiled and said: “Didn’t someone say that you sleep for beauty? Aging belongs to pathological aging. Traditional Chinese medicine health preservation believes that "work causes gas consumption". It means that long-term excessive fatigue and fatigue can consume a large amount of human essence. Essence is the basis of human life activities. Human limbs, seven orifices The activities of internal organs and viscera, as well as people's spiritual thinking and consciousness, are all based on the essence and power. "If the essence is deficient, the evil will gather. If the evil is rampant, the essence will be damaged. Such a vicious circle will leave the disease." And to be righteous Storing it inside means that the essence is not empty, so fatigue must be eliminated. The best way to eliminate fatigue is good sleep. During sleep, the essence of the human body is kept in the five internal organs, the five internal organs are comfortable, the Qi and blood are harmonious, and the body temperature, heart rate, Blood pressure drops, respiration rate decreases. Endocrine function weakens, thereby reducing the body's metabolic rate. Physical strength is restored."[

"Tsk tsk... I'm taught." Thomas clapped his hands at her tirade.

Fang Monan slandered, "What's the matter? With the accelerated pace of life, the pressure of life is increasing. In 2001, the Global Sleep and Health Program sponsored by the International Mental Health and Neuroscience Foundation launched a global campaign. , the first day of each early spring - March 3 is designated as "World Sleep Day".Sure enough, being able to eat and sleep is a blessing!

Then Fang Monan nagged and said a lot of precautions before Joseph and the others left.Fang Monan and Thomas sent them downstairs.Watching the car disappear out of sight.As soon as I turned around, I heard my mother's voice, "Is Nan Nan here to pick us up?"

"I came back so late, I'm here to see someone off." Fang Monan introduced: "This is Thomas Andres' manager, and also our family's Xiaobei's manager."

"Hi, I'm Xiaobei's father, Fang Zhengping."

"Hi, I'm Xiaobei's mother, Mo Yongyan."

"Hello, just call me Thomas. Dr. Fang's parents are really young." Thomas always forgot about the age of the Xiaobei sisters. Now seeing the couple in their 30s, he remembered that they were still children.

"Let's go, let's talk when we get home, it's too cold." Fang Monan led the other person upstairs.

After going up, Fang Monan went into the kitchen to cook, and the rest of them sat in the living room and chatted. Mobei went to the kitchen to take out the fruits Fang Monan had washed, and brought them out.

Thomas unceremoniously picked one, ate it in his mouth, and looked at his mother and the others staring at him in a daze, so he was a little embarrassed, his parents were still there!Dad and the others looked at him with a smile, knowing why he was so active. The fruits of his precious daughter are unique.

Auntie and the others came back with their children, just in time to help Thomas out of the siege, and they joined in and chatted more vigorously.

Dinner is no longer a western food, a hearty Chinese food, the stewed chicken and mushrooms started in the afternoon, the taste is tangy, the fragrance is overflowing, and everyone who is greedy will move to the restaurant.

After the meal, Thomas bid farewell and left, not forgetting to carry some fruits with him.Mom and auntie cleaned up the dining table, and the men sat in the living room watching TV, waiting for mom and the others to clean up.

Dad couldn't wait to ask: "Xiaoyan! We don't understand Xiaobei's music, but it's very good to listen to her tutor Andres's words. But I can't listen to this elementary school course, it's like You're playing like crazy, so you won't delay the child!"

My mother also echoed: "I work in the Bureau of Culture and Education. Although I am not a teacher, I have also attended a few classes. Their classes are incomparable to ours!" She also looked worried! "I saw that Xiaobei's classroom is like herding sheep and chasing ducks. In domestic classrooms, students face the blackboard in rows and sit upright with their little hands behind their backs."

My aunt looked at the husband and wife and said, "Hehe... I am attending a class with Xiao Bei in elementary school today."

"Of course, how could you be so sad." Fang Monan gestured to the faces of the two of them, huddled together, very worried.

The aunt smiled and said, "Xiaobei, go and bring your homework and let your parents see it."

Mo Bei hurriedly ran back to the room to take out his homework, and handed it to his parents.Dad looked at them suspiciously, and then looked at the homework in his hand. When he looked up, Dad was startled. "China's Yesterday and Today", he was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground. What are these topics?May I ask which college student dares to do such a big subject? [

"Xiao Bei, is this a homework question given by the teacher?" Dad asked incredulously with his mouth twitching.

Mo Bei complained: "This is my homework! You don't know that in order to write this homework well, I spent a long time in the library." But there was no resentment in his tone, but he was very excited and excited.She paused for a moment and said seriously: "The teacher said that the United States is a country of immigrants, and each student must write an article about the country where their ancestors lived, and analyze the differences with the United States based on geography, history, and humanities, and explain own views and opinions."

Dad didn't make a sound, just flipped through the pamphlet silently, from the Nine-Twisting Yellow River to pictographs; He did not dare to publish a series of bibliography as a father. He did not start to learn the style of a doctoral dissertation until he was 30 years old and participated in correspondence courses.The booklet has more than 20 pages. After reading it, Dad closed it and looked at the cover, "This is Xiaobei's fifth grade homework."

Mom and Dad looked at another homework in disbelief, "Here is my child's sixth grade homework."

Dad was even more dumbfounded when he opened the sixth grade homework. The teacher left the students with a series of questions about "World War II".

"Who do you think is responsible for this war?"

"What do you think was the reason for the failure of Nazi Germany?"

"If you were a senior adviser to President Truman, what would your attitude be towards the atomic bombing in the United States?"

"Do you think the best way to end the war at that time was to drop the atom?"

"What do you think is the best way to avoid war today?"

Fang Monan blinked his eyes playfully and asked with a cheerful smile: "How about it, Dad, does it look like a member of Congress who is receiving pre-defense training."

My mother has a lot of feelings. She is an educator, although she is only from a county seat. "Maybe children in the sixth grade in China don't know what World War II is?" She laughed at herself: "Of course they must know about fighting devils."

"Pfft..." Fang Monan burst out laughing, all the TV screens in later generations beat devils, the main theme of the TV series.

"Even if we went to junior high school and studied history, the questions we asked were all things that happened in a certain year and month, and we memorized them by rote." My mother said a little stiffly.

Dad smiled bitterly, and said meaningfully, "The history of the United States is only 200 years, but it is enough to open the door of wisdom for students. Although Xiaobei's writing may not be satisfactory for adults, he inspires and guides students. They read spontaneously, look up information, and think independently, which has been taught."

The aunt said: "Got it! At first I was startled, and I was afraid that I would delay the child." "Hehe... American elementary school life is very happy, but I get more. Of course, what does American elementary school want to achieve? There is no exact indicator for such a level of knowledge. The "foundation" that American elementary school students must lay is the bottom line of being a human being. They only work hard when they go to college. "

Fang Monan has a deep understanding of the education reform of Chinese people, which has produced a bunch of examination machines. The original 9-year compulsory education system and extra supplementary lessons have become the biggest financial burden for every family in future generations.Of course, the reform also produced a large number of people who made their fortunes through education.

"When we were still shouting the slogan 'Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid to travel all over the world', what are others teaching the children?" My mother asked herself.

This slogan is very familiar, it is a very resounding slogan in the 80s.How many of the students who stepped into the university with their heads held high in those days were excited and excited for it!After focusing on economic construction, it embarked on the road of opening up to the outside world.When the utilitarianism increases, it becomes. "Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well; it's better to have an official father!"

"What are you talking about? You girl." Dad pampered Fang Monan's forehead.

Fang Monan rolled his eyes, tilted his head, and looked at him innocently, "Father, I have been trying to fight for my father since ancient times. The emperor who founded the country has no father, so he has to find a good ancestor." No Noticing their staggering laughter, she patted him on the shoulder old-fashionedly and said, "Dad, work hard for our future life!"

"You child!" Dad smiled, his eyes darkened a lot, not to mention the position he is in now, just looking through the history books, in a country where officials are ruled, his daughter is right. (to be continued)[
