Brother so proud

Chapter 76

When the two entered, Xu Qingsheng was taking the pulse of an elderly man, his expression was focused, and there was a hint of worry between his brows, so he didn't notice them.

Behind the old man, there were seven or eight people lined up until they reached the door.

He Ze and Lin Yu looked at each other without disturbing, and just waited quietly.On the contrary, a sharp-eyed apprentice in the clinic showed a smiling face when he saw them, whispered a few words to his companion who was grabbing medicine, and walked up to him in a few steps, "Brother Lin, why are you here?"

Well, it turned out to be old acquaintance.

"Did something happen to Aunt Lin? I'll call Master."

"No, Ah Mu's health has been much better recently, I'm here to accompany..." Lin Yu glanced at He Ze, caught a glimpse of the joke in the other's eyes, blushed for some reason, and hesitated to speak.

"I know, I know. The master said you are engaged. This is the elder brother of the He family, right? My name is Huang Qi. You can call me Huangqi just like the master."

"Astragalus?"

"Yes, it's Astragalus, nourishing qi, protecting the liver, and nourishing yin..." Huang Qi subconsciously snapped his fingers.He looked like he was only eleven or twelve years old, and he was full of stupidity.

Both He Ze and Lin Yuju couldn't hold back the smiles on their faces. It wasn't until another apprentice called out that Huang Qi scratched the back of his head, gave them an embarrassed look, and turned back behind the counter.

"These are the two apprentices that Uncle Xu has taken in. Don't look at Xiao Qi like this. I heard Uncle Xu said that he can memorize those medical books and medicines quickly."

"En." Hearing the affirmation in Lin Yu's words, He Ze also nodded.Even if he is not talented in medicine, he can make up for his weakness with diligence.

The two waited for about half an hour before Xu Qingsheng saw the last patient. During this period, Huang Qi brought two wooden stools for them.

"What's the matter? Why are you here? It can't be your mother..." No, he also helped Zhang Suhao take pulse several times during his stay in Hejia Village, and there is nothing wrong with his health.

Xu Qingsheng was a little anxious, and his voice was a little higher.

"Uncle Xu, you misunderstood. I came here to find you with He Ze." Lin Yu waved his hands quickly, and the three of them went to the inner room together.

Speaking of the inner room, it is nothing more than a narrow lounge, with a table, a desk, and a few stools, nothing else.

He Ze recounted yesterday's events in general, and also explained why he came here. Seeing that the matter had nothing to do with Zhang Su, Xu Qingsheng was finally relieved, but when he spoke again, he was slightly angry, "Then why did the Lin family try their best? They are shameless people! You paid for the nearly one-acre Bai Zhi at that time, really..."

Lin Yu glanced at He Ze with a look of shame and anger, but he didn't speak after all.

"It's useless to say more, I should have taken precautions before, otherwise I wouldn't let Lin Da take advantage of the loopholes, but at least it didn't cause a catastrophe. It didn't take long for Baizhi to be pulled out. I should take care of it these few days and it should be able to bring it back. "While speaking, He Ze took Lin Yu's hand indistinctly.

The Lin family is the Lin family, and Lin Yu is Lin Yu, and he has never regarded them as one.

"I hope so," Xu Qingsheng sighed, and said after a while, "You mean Baizhi has worms? What kind?"

"Well, caterpillar, there are also a pair of eyes-like spots on it," He Ze recalled, "I don't know what species it is, so I'm here to ask you."

"Rolled leaves with eye spots. That's not a bug. It's the juvenile stage of a colorful moth. I heard from a medicinal herb dealer who raised Angelica dahurica before that this young moth feeds on the young leaves of Angelica dahurica. Although they don't eat the roots, they After a little longer, Bai Zhi would have died, but fortunately it was discovered early." Xu Qingsheng said happily.

"Uncle Xu, is there any way to kill the insects?" Lin Yu took a step forward, looking more anxious than He Ze.

"The method... Sprinkle lime powder on the ground in a regular way. Since it prevents insects, it should be effective against this kind of young moths, but I'm afraid it will damage the soil and affect the efficacy of Baizhi. I heard that Several medicinal material vendors in An County use a kind of sweet and sour water to kill insects, but the details are not clear."

"Sweet and sour water?" Is it acidic or alkaline?

"Yes, it's sweet and sour water. You don't know, Angelica dahurica is not only a medicinal material, but also a good spice. The leaves and stems have a fragrance. Although we smell it lightly, the young moths are flocking to it. This sweet and sour water can cover up the smell. Kind of fragrance, but how do they use sweet and sour water to kill insects..." Xu Qingsheng paused, "Well, I also know a few medicine dealers in the town, I will find a chance to ask you for these two days."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Xu." Craving for the scent of Angelica dahurica?

He Ze answered freely, but was secretly thinking about Xu Qingsheng's words.

Something happened here, and the two bid farewell to Xu Qingsheng.When he came to the door, Xu Qingsheng hesitated to speak, and He Zeruo realized something, "Uncle Xu, come back to the village with us in the afternoon? Lin Yu and I have to go shopping for a while, and we probably have to go back later. You just happened to ride a cow together." car."

"This..." Xu Qingsheng's eyes lit up.

"That's it, we'll come here to find you when the time comes."

After He Ze finished speaking, without waiting for Xu Qingsheng to answer, he took Lin Yu's hand and walked a long way.Rounding the street corner, Lin Yu glanced back, "Uncle Xu, this is..."

"Stupid, Uncle Xu wants to take you home with me, and meet Aunt Lin by the way." Xu Qingsheng's rented house in the village is not far from Lin Yu's house. Every time he goes home, he always passes by his house. bitter.

Farewell to Xu Qingsheng, the two went in the direction of Yu's restaurant.It was still early, they went to the restaurant, but didn't go in, and crossed the street to the academy where He Ze had studied before.

"What are we doing here?"

"Shopping." He Ze raised his eyebrows.

Yuanchen didn't like studying before, so he couldn't even find a pen, ink, paper and inkstone at home, so he had to come here.He already had a charter in his heart regarding the matter of Papa He.

The two stood in front of a shop next to the academy. Lin Yu could only see a lot of books in the shop at a glance, but the word...he didn't recognize any of them.

"Want to buy books?" He seldom saw this person reading books, but he forgot that his husband was a serious scholar.

Lin Yu stared fixedly at He Ze, his eyes sparkling.

He Ze originally just wanted to buy some pens and paper, but when he caught a glimpse of Lin Yu's high spirits, he seemed to have thought of something, and picked out a lot of books introducing the customs and customs of the world, as well as a few enlightenment books for young children.

"By the way, Xiao Yu'er, who came up with your name?" Opening a book, the word "Yu" was right on it. He Ze looked at the words, then at Lin Yu, and asked suddenly.

The sun shines brightly in the daytime, the moon shines brightly in the night. Yuzhe, bright and brilliant, has the same pronunciation as jade, warm and clear. There is a saying in ancient times that a gentleman is like jade.

"Name? E'Mu said that when I was born, my father hugged me and asked the town's wife to name it." Lin Yu didn't think about it.The only two words he can read and write are his own name. When he was a child, Eminem often said it in his ear, which made his ears callous.

"So it is."

He Ze took out a thousand-character essay, hesitated for a moment, and asked the clerk to prepare two more copies of pens, inks and inkstones, and then packed up and left with Lin Yu.

It was nearly noon at this time, and the two of them returned to the restaurant for dinner. By the way, they asked the shopkeeper Yu to settle the silver taels that he had sold some time ago, and then wandered the street for an afternoon. They returned to Xu Qingsheng's clinic until their hands were full. shop.

He Ze was sitting in the front driving, while Lin Yu and Xu Qingsheng were sitting in the back. He Ze and Lin Yu looked at each other when they heard Xu Qingsheng's questioning about Zhang Su's affairs. belly.

The ox cart arrived in the village at Youshi, and He Ze deliberately stuffed more things into Lin Yu's hands, "Aunt Lin is not in good health, you take these back, if you can't carry them, let Uncle Xu carry some for you by the way."

"Yes, yes, let me lift it for you!"

Xu Qingsheng is very good.Before Lin Yu took the things, he had already snatched a book and a half into his arms. Seeing Lin Yu looking at him, he brushed his beard twice and walked ahead.

Lin Yu: "..."

"Uncle Xu is a nice person. If Aunt Lin can accept him, she won't be wronged." Seeing Xu Qingsheng walking away, He Ze pinched Lin Yu's ears itchyly, and rubbed his temples again and again, " The New Year's Eve is already over, Dad is in a hurry, and the new house has called someone to start work, and it is estimated that the flower shop can be done before the opening of the flower shop."

Lin Yu raised his head, and He Ze smirked, "It's still a little slow, why don't you come home with me today?"

Lin Yu: "..."

He rolled his eyes.

"Who told you to ignore me before, do you know that if you don't see me every day, it's like three autumns? It's so cold, and there is no one to warm my bed." He Ze sighed, with an indescribable pitiful meaning.

Lin Yu blushed, grabbed the thing that was slipping from He Ze's hand, gave him a sharp look, and chased after Xu Qingsheng.

He Ze half leaned on the railing of the bullock cart and watched his back, and it took a long time to restrain the smile on his face.

In his past life and present life, he is almost 30 years old together, but he looks like a kid. He never thought that he would like someone so much, like a torrent breaking a bank, once it bursts, it can't be stopped.

She wished she could sew him on the waistband of her trousers and carry it everywhere; she also wanted to crumble it up and stuff it into her heart, so that he could become one with herself.

Blending into one... One or two images from the beautiful dream on the night of the New Year's Eve flashed through his mind, He Ze's eyes darkened, and a hot current poured into his lower abdomen, shamefully changed.

Really...

Fortunately, the clothes are still thick at the moment, and nothing can be seen on the surface.He Ze let out a long breath, finally suppressed the evil fire in his body, and drove the bullock cart back home slowly.

At that time, Mrs. Li was sitting in the yard choosing vegetables, and He An put the dough cakes that were drying by the wall into the dustpan. He heard Wangfu bark twice, and tore off a small piece and threw it to its paws.He Youcai sat on the big stone mill in front of the kitchen, with a pipe in his mouth, he didn't exhale a puff of smoke for a long time.

It didn't light up at all.

Seeing him enter the courtyard gate, Mrs. Li took the things in his hand and asked him what he would like to have for dinner. Then he showed a smiling face, but the gloom between his brows never dissipated.

He Ze glanced at the faces of He Youcai and Li Shi, and pulled He An aside, "You haven't spoken yet?"

"No, it's just that Dad went to the patriarch's place again today. When I came back, I asked a few questions. At that time, Eminem seemed to be a little closer."

He Ze: "..."

"what happened?"

"It's nothing." Seeing He An's bewildered expression, He Ze gritted his teeth.

Silly boy, if you don't speak, it's time for Eminem to speak!

"Go and accompany E-Mu. I'll talk to A-Die. I'll buy a pound of fresh pork ribs. I'll eat a carrot later."

After finishing speaking, He Ze patted He An on the shoulder, walked straight to Father He, rolled up his trouser legs and sat down, "Father, what do the clan say, they don't care?"

"The patriarch asked someone to look for Lin Da yesterday, but he didn't find it. He meant to let us wait two more days to discuss with the clan what to do, and he will definitely give us an explanation."

"That's good." The money he gave before was not in vain.

"Who says it's not, this Lin family..." He Youcai seemed to want to scold, but also thought of his unmarried daughter-in-law, but he didn't say anything after all.

In his opinion, his family and the Lin family have nothing to do with each other, so Lin Da pulled out his family's medicine, probably because of his son's marriage with Lin Yu, he was involved.If this matter gets into Lin Yu's ears after talking about it, it won't be good if it makes him feel knotted.

He Youcai took the pipe out of his mouth and tapped it on the stone mill, making loud bangs.This pipe is made of bamboo, and it is not easy to crack, but it is black after being smoked for a long time, and it looks ugly.

He Ze came back to his senses and went to the house. When he came out, he was holding a long elm box with four corners carved in his hand.

"Daddy, look at this."

"What the hell?"

He Youcai took the box from He Ze's hand, looked at him suspiciously, then unhurriedly untied the red string on the top of the box, and when he saw the contents of the box clearly, his tone was indescribably complicated, beeping He yelled, "Why are you buying this? There's nowhere to put the money?"

"Father, it's not that I have to spend this money. Eminem told me several times years ago, and I brought it back when I remembered it yesterday."

"What did your mother say? What did she say?" Mrs. Li has always hated him smoking this stuff, so how can I ask Ozawa to buy another cigarette stick back.

He Youcai glanced at He Ze angrily, and didn't say anything to break his son's mind, as if he wanted to see what he could say about Chou Yinmao.

"Em heard Uncle Xu mention it before, saying that the smoke is very harmful to the body, especially your pipe, which has not been changed for seven or eight years. The thick black smoke oil inside, if you continue like this, sooner or later your body will be damaged. Lost all."

"Em originally wanted to let you quit, but also thought that you had quit for almost 20 years and hadn't quit, so I thought to change you to a better cigarette first, and asked Uncle Xu several times for any material. gone."

He Ze really wasn't lying about this matter. Li Shi not only wanted to change He Youcai's tobacco rod, but also threw away the shredded tobacco hidden in his cabinet, and replaced it with light-tasting shredded tobacco leaves. Wealth has not been found yet.

When he finds out...

He Ze didn't think about it any further, paused for a moment and then said, "Father, Eminem doesn't like you smoking, it's mainly because of your body. The same goes for grandpa and grandma, they are all from my own family, so don't take it to heart."

He Youcai didn't answer, just stared into the distance with a dazed expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

He Ze took out the cigarette rod from the box. The rod was made of copper, and the cigarette holder was green. It looked like jade. It dazzled He Youcai, "How much will it cost!"

He Ze just smiled and said nothing, pulled half a bag of shredded tobacco from He Youcai's waist, imitated what he did in the past, stuffed the shredded tobacco into the pipe, and lit it in the stove.

"Daddy, try it?"

He Youcai took it, took a deep breath, and exhaled a mouthful of white smoke.The brows gradually stretched.

"It tastes good, right? I lit the fire just now." Seeing He Youcai looking up at him, He Ze squatted down beside him and put his hands on his shoulders, "Father, a man, don't you You're so stingy, no matter how much you worry about it, you can't blame Eminem, can you?"

"I don't blame you, Mom..." He Youcai sighed and took another deep breath.

"I know, you're blaming yourself, but you can't be blamed for this." Finally, He Ze said bluntly, "You have been supporting the family all these years alone in wind and rain. , What about you? What grandpa and grandma say doesn’t count, what uncles and aunts say doesn’t count, but what Eminem, I, Xiaoan, and the three of us say, it counts. You are irreplaceable in our hearts.”

He paused every word, and his voice hit He Youcai's ear heavily, "Father, don't make Eminem worry."

After hearing this sentence, He Youcai's expression changed slightly, and he slowly turned his head to look at He Ze.

The young man in front of him has inherited his mother's good looks, with his hard edges and corners carrying a man's unique heroic spirit. Unknowingly, his son has really grown up. In comparison, he is not competent as a father.

"Okay, I get it, don't worry." He Youcai lowered his head, let out a laugh, and looked at the two moving figures in the kitchen with tender eyes.

Seeing him like this, He Ze also raised the corners of his lips subconsciously.But... "Father, how is the woodworking these days?"

It was just a temporary solution, and then, it should be a permanent solution.Father He suppressed it hard, and this time he was stimulated and inevitably found a dead end. He seemed to relax at the moment, but the knot in his heart was still stuck there.

As a son of man, he should take care of his father.Thinking of the plain paper brought back today, He Ze's eyes flashed.

"It's okay, the new year has just started, and Dad will probably have to work for a while after the Lantern Festival is over." Thinking of people coming to order wooden furniture one after another in the past two days, He Youcai seemed to be a little more interested, and said again in a blink of an eye , "Your nineteenth birthday is coming soon, time is really fast."

"Yeah, really fast." Before he knew it, he had been in this world for almost half a year.

It's like a dream, sweet dream.

Since it is a beautiful dream, it cannot be destroyed by anyone.

It was night, the moon and stars were thin, and when all the oil lamps in the courtyard were extinguished, He Ze carried Wangfu out of the courtyard, and went straight to the Baizhi field in Xishan.
