MTL - Accidentally born in the ’60s-Chapter 96
There are relatively few people. Generally, if you encounter a mark when you go up the mountain, you will find a stick to dig it, but it will inevitably damage the roots of ginseng. Like the Changbai Mountain generation, there are many ancestral people who do this. They go up the mountain with professional tools every day, and there are decent ceremonies. It takes a few hours or even a day to remove the soil little by little, and the ginseng dug out is not damaged at all.
For Zhen Zhen, these two methods are not used, tap the toes on the ground, the mountain soil will become soft, and when two ginseng leaves are supported, one bone will be turned out from the soil, Not even the hairs on the roots are removed.
The Chinese people are superstitious about things like ginseng and ganoderma lucidum. Old Mrs. Xi was no exception. When she looked at Ganoderma lucidum, she couldn't help but close her mouth with joy. When she saw this wild ginseng, her face turned red with excitement.
Old Mrs. Xi's eldest daughter, Xi Suyu, leaned over to take a closer look, and was sincerely happy for the old mother to get this kind of birthday gift: "Mom, this is a good thing, please come back and ask the doctor to come. See if you can add it to your daily regimen."
"It's a pity to put such a good ginseng in medicine." Mrs. Xi was still a little reluctant: "The chopstick-thick wild ginseng sold in the drugstore is enough, I think this is still a family heirloom. "
Xi Suyu laughed helplessly after hearing this: "This ginseng is no better than anything else, even if a hundred-year-old ginseng is released for a long time, it will affect the medicinal properties. If you only offer it, you will be blind. A rare thing."
Xi Junjie's aunt Chang Leqing also nodded and agreed: "Eldest sister is right, put this away first, and ask the doctor to check the pulse later. If the pulse is good, it is still Mr. Zhang Renze, the sage of Chinese medicine. But he doesn't let people see his pulse anymore, and he didn't even invite me last time I went to Jiajiashan."
The status of Mr. Xi is not low. His eldest son, Xi Changshan, is now the mayor of the imperial capital, but even he is not good in front of the master of Chinese medicine. Ling Xiulan hurriedly said: "Then you can ask someone else, I heard that Mr. Cheng Xuewu's pulse is also very good, but he only sees ten doctors a day, no matter who you are, you have to get a number, I will ask Junjie to go back and see if he can. When will you get the number?"
Chang Leqing nodded: "Alright, anyway, Mom is just for recuperation, not so urgent."
The more Xi Junjie listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. He grew up in France, and when he came back, he concentrated on his studies. He didn't know anything about Chinese medicine. Although sometimes when I go back to the old house, I smell the fragrance of medicine, and when I ask about it, it is also the old man who is taking care of his body. As for these famous doctors, this is the first time I have heard of them.
"Mr. Zhang Renze, Mr. Cheng Xuewu..." Xi Junjie looked down at Zhen Zhen: "Why do I think these two names are so familiar?"
Xi Suyu heard it, smiled and glanced at Xi Junjie: "It seems that these two old gentlemen are still very good, even Junjie who has only returned to China for a few years has heard of the name."
Xi Junjie glanced at Zhen Zhen, did not speak, but Zhen Zhen smiled: "I have more free time during the winter vacation recently, Junjie sometimes accompany me to visit Mr. Zhang's house, and met Cheng there. Sir." Looking at Xi Junjie, Zhen Zhen smiled very sweetly: "Mr. Zhang likes Junjie's cooking very much, if Grandma Xi wants to ask Mr. Zhang to check the pulse, there is no way out, let Junjie bring a jar of Buddha Jumping over the Wall and lead you directly. Go and make sure you won't be turned away."
This time not only the family was surprised, but even Ling Xiulan opened her mouth to look at the young couple. When did Junjie know the master of Chinese medicine, why didn't he know.
Xi Junjie looked at Zhen Zhen with a little embarrassment: "Will it cause trouble for you and Mr. Zhang?"
Zhen Zhen said with a smile: "Actually, it's not that Mr. Zhang doesn't like to take the pulse, you didn't see him coming to my house every three or five days, and he was very addicted to touching them one by one, but he didn't like to socialize, so he gave a family After the pulse diagnosis, there is a string of people who follow her." She looked at the old lady Xi with a particularly sweet mouth: "If Grandma Xi was not an outsider, I would not have dared to deal with this."
"Thank you so much." Mrs. Xi held Zhen Zhen's hand and didn't let go, Le's eyes couldn't see anymore: "Grandma has taken care of you this time."
For several years. But these people listened to the meaning of Zhen Zhen's words and were very aware of the current affairs, this was obviously a chance for the little girl to use her own face to change the old lady's pulse.
Although Xi Junjie has only been in contact with the old lady in the past few years, he really likes this old man who is always smiling, he saw that Zhen Zhen didn't want to be embarrassed, and immediately smiled: "I'll do it when I go back tonight. , I think Grandma Li also likes to eat it, and she also cooks a pot for her."
"Then my grandma will definitely have to praise you for another half a month." Zhen Zhen blinked her eyes playfully, and everyone around her laughed kindly.
In the impression of Mrs. Xi, Junjie Xi never likes to talk or laugh. I am also relieved, people don't want their children and grandchildren to be safe and happy all their lives.
"Then I'll pick up grandma early the day after tomorrow?" Xi Junjie asked.
"Okay, I will tell him when I accompany Mr. Zhang to the morning market tomorrow morning." Zhen Zhen looked at the more majestic Mr. Xi who was sitting next to him, and couldn't help asking: "Grandpa wants Don't go with me?"
"I'm not going, my body is fine." Mr. Xi was full of anger. He held a teacup in one hand and walnuts in his hand: "I have never taken medicine in my life."
"Don't pay attention to him." Mrs. Xi waved her hand and cast a glance at Mr. Xi: "I've been stubborn all my life, in fact, I'm afraid of the pain of medicine."
If Dad doesn't go, I can go with you the day after tomorrow."
"What are you doing?" Mrs. Xi frowned slightly: "No need, your third sister-in-law will just accompany me then."
Old Mrs. Xi was like a mirror in her heart, her little daughter and Ling Xiulan didn’t get along when they met, and Ling Xiulan was looking at her own face, so she didn’t want to make trouble with her, but she didn’t want to either. Talk to her one more word, if she takes Xi Sumei to see the doctor, Ling Xiulan will be very upset.
"Mom!" Xi Sumei stomped her feet coquettishly with a wrinkled face: "How can a daughter-in-law be caring."
Ling Xiulan hadn't spoken yet, and Chang Leqing was not happy at first. She gave Xi Sumei a half-smile, and sneered, "It seems that your parents have taken care of you all these years."
"Then what, I don't think it's convenient to take care of the water spilled by my married daughter." Xi Sumei sneered and came over again: "Mom, let me join you the day after tomorrow. Go, I didn't have a good confinement when I gave birth to Ranran, and now I always have a sore back and cold hands, so let that doctor Zhang show it to me too."
Looking at Zhen Zhen who was standing on the side, old lady Xi's old face was blushed by her young daughter: "Why do you have such a big face, find a doctor yourself."
"You look at you, why are you anxious." Xi Sumei really didn't understand why her mother was angry: "Isn't it saying that Doctor Zhang looks good? It's easy, can he still give me a pulse after I've gone?"
It was inconvenient to speak when Zhen Zhen came to the door for the first time, Xi Junjie held her hand and showed a gentle smile: "I'm sorry auntie, I'm afraid my husband really won't give you a pulse." Seeing Xi Sumei When he came over, Xi Junjie showed a mocking smile: "The old man once said that he would not treat any cat or dog casually."
In fact, Zhang Renze usually goes out for a walk, and you can see if the person is ill by looking at his face. If it is serious or urgent, the old man doesn't care if people recognize him or not, he puts down the bird cage I went to feel the pulse for others, because many sick people like to wander around Beiyang early in the morning to see if they have a chance to meet the legendary Chinese doctor. However, for a person like Xi Sumei, it is better to slap the face directly.
Xi Sumei's eyes twitched: "How do you talk to your aunt?"
Xi Junjie smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry auntie, this is the old man's original words, I just repeat it."
Xi Sumei was choked and speechless, and someone next to her immediately laughed: "Sumei, this is not a big deal, just go to the pharmacy and find a doctor to see it. Mr. Zhang is very eccentric, You are so young and you are not seriously ill, even if you come to the door, he will not give you a pulse."
"That's right." Someone echoed: "It's not a waste of Mr. Zhang's time to see a doctor."
Xi Sumei bit her lip humiliatingly, she felt that it must be because her father-in-law and husband are incompetent, one is receiving a meager retirement salary, and the other is a worker, which will cause everyone to run against her, if the father-in-law is capable Retaining the position of the year, these people will definitely not dare to look at themselves with ridicule all day long.
Xi Sumei has always felt that it must be the fault of others that she is not getting along well with others, but she does not think about how disgusting her words, deeds and actions are. The relatives and friends of the Xi family, as well as Xi Sumei's sister-in-law, looked at the old man's face and mocked her face-to-face, and when they mentioned her behind their backs, they all looked bored.
Old Mrs. Xi is well aware of all this, and she does not expect her little daughter to be very promising. Just don't block yourself when she is alive. As for the death of their old couple, Xi Sumei Love jumps as much as you want, and you can't see it anyway.
Go to the hospital, just ask your sister-in-law to accompany me the day after tomorrow, you don't have to worry about it."
Xi Sumei muttered unwillingly: "With the salary that our family earns, how can we have money to see a doctor, and no one in our family except me is short of money, but no one said to help me. Give me ten yuan a month, and my life will be better if I don't."
Mr. Xi ignored her and gave birth to a debt collector, but the eldest daughter and sons don't owe her, so why give her ten dollars a month? Disturbingly frustrating.
The box containing ginseng was handed over to Chang Leqing, and Mrs. Xi touched her precious Lingzhi again: "eldest daughter-in-law, you lead your boy to help me put these two treasures away. I'll go to my house." Chang Leqing took the ginseng with a smile, and just as she was about to leave with her son, Mrs. Xi looked at Xi Sumei, and instructed her worriedly, "Let's put it in the cabinet, and remember to lock it for me. "
"Okay, don't worry." Chang Leqing held back her laughter, carrying the wooden box, and asked her son to carry Lingzhi to the old lady's house. The old lady also looked back at the wall 's painting: "After my birthday, I will hang this painting in my house as well."
The people around stretched their necks and watched the Longevity Ganoderma lucidum and the hundred-year-old wild ginseng disappear from their sight, and sighed unsatisfactorily. Seeing that the atmosphere was not good just now, Mrs. Xi's sister-in-law opened her eyes deliberately pretending to be dissatisfied: "You can't let us see more, why are you so stingy? I'm afraid we'll be bad or something?"
Having been an old lady for decades, Mrs. Xi was happy to joke with her: "I'm also thinking about your grandson. You said that if you look jealous and go home and can't sleep, Where are they going to find such a filial daughter-in-law of my family, Zhen Zhen."
As soon as the old lady looked back, her grandson immediately lowered her head, she hummed in dissatisfaction: "Aren't you married yet?" Looking at Zhen Zhen, she suddenly laughed: "Zhen Zhen, in fact, the partner doesn't necessarily have to get married in the end, if there is a suitable one, you have to change it." She turned around and pointed to the row of grandchildren standing near her, and recommended to Zhen Zhen excitedly: "These are my grandchildren. I'll give you whichever you choose." Looking at Xi Junjie with a dark face, she seemed to think that her grandson couldn't compete in terms of appearance, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's really not possible, you can choose two."
He soothed and held Xi Junjie's hand, and Zhen Zhen's curved eyes made the people around couldn't help laughing along with her: "Second grandma, I don't have any plans to change my partner yet, I'll have this idea when I have it. I'll tell you." Xi Junjie immediately clenched Zhen Zhen's hand and said firmly, "Don't worry, I won't let you have such thoughts."
Xi Junjie's words caused another kind smile, and Mrs. Xi hurriedly said, "This is because I didn't give the children a gift, and I want to dig a foot in the wall. I have to let you die. "Pull Zhen Zhen over, the old lady Xi took off a pair of soft, plump, emerald-colored and delicate jade bracelets and put them on Zhen Zhen's wrist: "Good boy, this is a gift from grandma ."
Zhen Zhen experienced the jade fever in her previous life, she was talking about jade on TV, and she had never eaten pork but also saw a pig run, Zhen Zhen also learned a lot about jade after listening to it over the years . Mrs. Xi's pair of emerald bracelets are of high quality when viewed from the water, and their gentle touch shows that the bracelets have been around for many years.
"Grandma, this is too precious, I can't have it." Zhen Zhen hurriedly took it off and returned it to Mrs. Xi.
Old Mrs. Xi held her hand and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't tell me the Lingzhi and ginseng you gave me are not valuable? Like the Lingzhi with the longevity pattern, it may not be able to survive for hundreds of years. There is one that is not only precious but also rare." Zhen Zhen touched her nose with a guilty conscience: This is really not difficult, not to mention the longevity pattern, even if you want the Eight Immortals crossing the sea pattern, I can collect it for you.
"Besides, this is grandma's intention. If you don't want me, I will be angry." The old lady Xi said very firmly, and Zhen Zhen nodded: "Thank you grandma."
Old Mrs. Xi looked at Zhen Zhen wearing her own bracelet and nodded with satisfaction: "It is said that beautiful jade matches beautiful women, I am old, and I am no longer worthy of this bracelet, I think this pair The bracelet will be happy to have you as a new owner." When everyone saw that this was the old lady's approval of her granddaughter-in-law, they immediately laughed and applauded.
Only Xi Sumei's eyes turned red when she saw the bracelet. When she was a child, she liked the pair of bracelets in her mother's hands, and she asked her for it coquettishly, but the old lady Xi only said that it was back then The wedding token that was bought at the auction at a high price cannot be given to her. For so many years, Xi Sumei was outside, especially thinking about her mother's pair of bracelets, for fear that she would give it to her sister-in-law.
Xi Sumei originally thought that the old lady had three daughters-in-law, who would offend anyone, just two daughters each would be better. Even if the old lady didn't mention it when she was alive, in case she went west one day, she said that she wanted this bracelet as a thought for a few sisters-in-law, and she was embarrassed to disagree. But after all, she never imagined that Mrs. Xi would give her to that yellow-haired girl.
Xi Sumei was furious and stood up abruptly, but she instantly felt a hand behind her holding her shoulder, Xi Sumei looked back at her daughter, and held back her anger: "That's me bracelet."
Shang Qingran shook her head slightly and whispered in her ear: "Wait for them to leave, or grandmother's face won't come off the stage, and I won't assign it to you." Shang Qingran looked at A hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the eye bracelet: "How about we still focus on moving back, if it doesn't work, we don't want the bracelet, but don't lose the big because of the small."
Xi Sumei's face suddenly became ugly, but she still obeyed her daughter's suggestion and sat on the chair without moving. When Xi Sumei was young, she had nothing in her heart, not to mention her vanity, or she would not have done so many careless things back then, and she was even coaxed by Shang Zhicheng, the son of the Shang family. Family members cut off ties. Originally, the Shang family wanted to get on the big ship of the Xi family, but they didn't think they could cut off contact. After all, the youngest child was always the most favored at home. But I didn't expect the Xi family to be without this child, leaving her alone for ten years. The Shang family felt that this daughter-in-law was married in vain, and scolded her from time to time. When Xi Sumei was scolded at the Shang family, she couldn't raise her head and did not dare to make a sound. Not to mention that I still look at this unpleasant and unpleasant one all day long, I really think that I am still the favored little daughter of that year.
There was a group of people sitting next to Mrs. Xi. After everyone talked like this, it was noon. Several large tables were set up. After a lively meal, One after another, people left.
Seeing the old lady Xi's expression was very happy, Xi Sumei leaned over again: "Mom, look at the wool blanket that my family Qingran gave you, it's very thick, you can try it at night. "
Mr. Xi looked at him speechlessly: "In the winter, let me cover a blanket, do you want to freeze me to death?"
"I just mean that my family is filial and filial." Xi Sumei sneered: "Mom, you can see that it's okay for Ranran to be on winter vacation now, let her come and stay with you for a while."
"No need, I don't like to be noisy when I'm older. Usually my sister-in-law and I are fine at home." Mrs. Xi knew what Xi Sumei was thinking. She felt that the house she was living in was not good and wanted to go back Living in a quadrangle. When she said it, Mr. Xi refused. It is estimated that she wanted to let the child live here first. After a few days, she said that she wanted the child to come over to accompany her, and Shang Zhicheng, who had waited for ten days and a half months, could also come to the door with integrity. Now, for their little abacus, Mrs. Xi was very disgusted.
"Ran Ran in our family can't be troubled." Xi Sumei quickly pushed Shang Qingran next to Mrs. Xi: "And she will chat with people, she is not lonely when you and my dad specify. "
"I'm not lonely now." Mrs. Xi raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong with my grandchildren, since Qing Ran has time to let her accompany her grandparents, don't Run here."
Seeing Xi Sumei's angry face, she seemed to want to tear it apart, Zhen Zhen quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Grandma Xi, you've been tired all day, rest early, I'll go back now."
Old Mrs. Xi nodded: "Come and play at home when you have time." She looked up at Xi Junjie again: "Send Zhen Zhen home, and then make Buddha Jump over the Wall as soon as possible."
Xi Junjie took Zhen Zhen out of the old house, but Zhen Zhen left her heart but stayed at the scene of the torment. She sat in the car and pretended to sleep soundly, and her consciousness returned to the old man in Xi's house. House.
Xi Suyu's face darkened, she pushed Xi Sumei and staggered: "Today Mom's birthday, can you not make trouble? There are so many people here to celebrate Mom's birthday, you will make trouble for a while. Don't you feel ashamed when you come out?"
"I have nothing to be ashamed of." Xi Sumei stalked her neck and looked at Xi Suyu: "Mom doesn't even talk about shame, there are five brothers and sisters in our family, how can the four of you live so well? How bad am I?"
Xi Suyu was angrily laughed at by her: "If your life is not good, you go to your man, what does it have to do with your parents' family? Your sisters-in-law are embarrassed to say, but I have no worries. Going home is for those messy thoughts of yours, so don't come back at all, the province's mother will be upset when she sees you."
Old Mrs. Xi glanced at Xi Sumei, her face as watery: "I'll put it down today, I can't let you guys move in, nor can Qing Ran come here."
Shang Qingran's face flushed, she glanced at Madam Xi angrily, stood up, turned around and left.
"Ran Ran!" Xi Sumei stood up and shouted twice, seeing Shang Qingran leaving the yard without turning her head, she looked at Mrs. Xi angrily: "Okay, my married daughter The water that has been poured out is fine if you don't let me come back to live, but the bracelet just now has to give me an explanation."
"Bracelet." Madam Xi was stunned: "What does my bracelet tell you?"
"The bracelet should also be given to a daughter-in-law, why give it to a granddaughter-in-law who just met and doesn't know whether she will become a daughter-in-law in the future, so you are not afraid that your other grandsons will not be happy?"
Old Mrs. Xi's family was all there except Xi Junjie, several grandsons were angry when they saw Xi Sumei like this, and when they saw her pulling on themselves again, they all shook their heads and said, "We don't mind, people Given such an expensive gift, it's fine to return a bracelet."
Xi Sumei looked at them in disbelief: "Are you stupid?" She shook her head speechlessly and pointed to the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, Chang Leqing immediately said: "I have no opinion either. , that's good." The second daughter-in-law nodded, "That girl looks pretty good."
Xi Suyu sneered: "You think that everyone else has no kinship like you, every day, except for calculations, it is in the eyes of money. Xi Sumei, let me tell you, you are your own today. You don't have to depend on anyone, you just depend on yourself to get it."
Old Mrs. Xi couldn't help but sighed: "Other family can support a whole family by earning wages. The two of you are still dual workers, and the wages you get are enough for you to live." Looking at Xi Sumei Wearing fashionable clothes, Mrs. Xi shook her head: "You can eat as much as you want, don't compare other people's lives all day long, what other people make is also their business, if you have time to envy others, it's better to think about it. How do you live your life well?"
The old man Xi who had been silent for a long time suddenly stood up: "Your mother is right, you go back and think about it, don't come back for a while." Looking at the messy room, the old man Xi held up Blue veins burst out of his fist: "The biggest mistake today is to ask you to come back to celebrate your mother's birthday. In the future, if you and I are celebrating your mother's birthday or celebrating the New Year's holiday, don't come here. You will be troubled by looking at you."
Mr. Xi and Mrs. Xi turned around and left, and everyone else dispersed. The nanny came to clean up the table, and Xi Sumei slumped on the ground with tears in her eyes: "Why don't you help me, I am your daughter."
"DiDi..." The car turned into Houyang, Zhen Zhen regained her consciousness and got out of the car with Xi Junjie, neither of them went home but sat on the bench by the lake On, Zhen Zhen put her hand in her pocket and looked at Xi Junjie: "Junjie, I think your aunt's princess disease and pink eye are a little serious."
Xi Junjie heard this word for the first time, but he immediately understood the meaning of the word, and he sighed softly: "I heard from my father that there was no one in the family before. Help her, but not only does she not know how to be grateful, but she is nitpicky and can't wait to let others pay and pay for the relationship. As long as she doesn't meet her requirements at all, she will cry and make trouble. It's like it should be. Later, she had to marry the Shang family, and she was sent down together with the monk family. My two uncles were too busy to take care of themselves, and they were not a faction with their family, so they couldn't manage it. She felt that the whole family Everyone owes her, and her poor life is because of the family's failure to help her, and she never knows how to reflect on herself." Thinking of his little cousin, Xi Junjie frowned: "I see her daughter She was also taught badly."
Zhen Zhen had a bad impression of Shang Qingran: "This little girl has a very dark look at people, I don't like her."
Xi Junjie took Zhen Zhen's hand and whispered in her ear, "That's right, as long as you like me."
The fate plate pinched the flame on JJ, and then the boss became the eunuch, what kind of bad taste do you think I am!
