The precious medicinal materials Wang Feng mentioned include a ginseng. Wang Feng showed off to Jiang’s mother: “This thing is definitely a good thing. It is not artificially grown, it is wild. My relative lives in the Northeast. You know, there are three treasures in the Northeast, one of which is the most famous. Other parts of the country are introduced from ginseng from our Northeast. It is pure luck to be able to dig a plant.”
"You said you dug this ginseng yourself?" Seeing this, Jiang's mother put it in an ordinary cardboard box, not even a decent packaging box.
"Yes. You know this packaging. Because you know that this thing is a good thing that is hard to come by and is not sold to others, just use it yourself." Wang Feng said.
Jiang’s mother had a little understanding of ginseng. After all, this thing was indispensable in the past when she wanted to visit other people’s homes. The easiest way to tell whether the ginseng was artificial or wild ginseng. The skin was rough and uneven and had small bumps. In short, it was not very good to look at it, but it was real ginseng. Now, seeing the thing Wang Feng brought, the skin was pricked to the skin and felt a little wet soil. It was a bit like it was real. It wasn’t a fool to deceive her. I couldn’t help but be surprised: “How long have you kept it? Why haven’t I heard of you having this thing before?”
"This is not something that has been preserved for a long time. My relatives used it directly for me last week. Ginseng is very expensive, but it is not big enough to sell it. It is better to use it for your own home. Their family just dug two pearls. The best one of them was left by themselves. This one was relatively small, because I helped them once, and they gave it to me." Wang Feng seemed a little reluctant while explaining these, feeling as if Jiang's mother was suspicious of her lying to others, and said softly, "How many years have you and me, can I use bad things to deceive you?" Then, he put away the box and put on a gesture of kindness that he was bitten by a dog.
Jiang's mother hurriedly held her hand, looked at the ginseng in the box with nostalgia, and said, "I have never doubted you. I remember that we had gone to the countryside together and suffered hardships, and we were sisters who shared hardships. If you want to doubt anyone, you will never doubt you."
Wang Feng sneered: "You are wrong. The main reason is that I don't want anything to you, and there is no reason to lie to you."
"Yes, yes, you are right." Jiang's mother giggled.
"Then do you want it?" Wang Feng asked.
"This—" Jiang's mother frowned and hesitated, "How much do you want to charge me?"
Wang Feng said to her rhetoric and blank her eyes as if she was speechless: "You just said that you are a sister who shares hardships. Can I take advantage of the situation to rob and blackmail you? I will give you this thing for free."
"Ah?" Jiang's mother couldn't believe the pie that fell from the sky.
"What surprised you?" Wang Feng naturally had his own idea when doing this, so he stuffed the ginseng into Jiang's mother's arms and said, "If she uses it well, you will have a good relationship with her. Remember to give me a few good words in front of her and let us meet. This thing is worth it."
It turned out that this was the one I had. How could it be for free for something so good? Jiang's mother smiled on her face and sneered in her heart. Since Gu Mo is so noble, she is not a person who is easy to get to know. She has a chance to get in touch with Gu Mo because she has some relatives with the Lu family. Wang Feng and the others don't even have this opportunity. Thinking of her advantage, Jiang's mother couldn't help but be complacent.
When he got home, he first showed off to Jiang’s father: “Look, otherwise, we will go and give it to him together.”
Jiang's father knew that this purebred wild ginseng was indeed difficult to find, so he couldn't help but look forward to Jiang's mother who could find this thing: "If it is really a good thing, it's a good thing to send it over, and it's a good thing." Jiang's father guessed that Gu Mo needed this thing, and he heard some wind from his daughter and son-in-law. Gu Mo stayed at Manman, perhaps because he wanted to make it easier for Jun Ye to treat the disease. Ginseng is said to be the king of all medicines and can be used for any disease.
"If it is a good thing, it is clearly a good thing." Jiang's mother was unhappy with Jiang's father's somewhat suspicious tone.
Jiang's father was beaten by Jiang's mother, and said cautiously: "Otherwise, we will send it to the relevant inspection department for an appraisal."
Jiang's mother "cut" was very disdainful: "If you really do this, wouldn't it seem that we are hypocritical? It seems that we are really giving this thing to make a relationship. If it is true relatives and friends, how can we do such a big thing as identification?"
Jiang's father looked at her and said nothing: Because he knew that she had a clear idea of giving this thing. But thinking about it, she wanted to have a good relationship with Gu Mo, so wasn't it just a good relationship with Manman? So he wouldn't he stop him, so let her give it to him.
Jiang’s mother gave ginseng, so not only the Lu family who wanted to accept it, but also the Jiang family knew about it.
When Zhao Wensheng learned the news from his wife Jiang Mei, he disagreed: "It's probably a fake garden ginseng. She can give it as much as she wants. However, don't boast about it in front of others, so that she will slap herself in the face, which will look good."
Jiang Mei used a brush to help him brush his coat. After hearing what he said, he hesitated: "But I heard from my mother that this thing has its origins, so it should not be a fake thing."
"She is not an expert in Chinese medicine, so why is she 100% sure? Even I don't dare to just look at the appearance and make a promise of real ginseng." Zhao Wensheng used this to educate his wife, and Jiang's mother was confused, but they were knowledgeable and educated and could not be confused.
My husband is a professional and said this, Jiang Mei couldn't help but feel uneasy: "Why do I still want my mother to send it? What should I do if I send it over and turn it into a joke?"
"Can you stop her from sending her? Besides, you just told me now that she has sent her all over. Will it help?" Zhao Wensheng pointed his wife's slow head.
Jiang Mei thought that, with her mother's great and accomplished nature, she had already rushed to deliver things to show her greatness. She could use other people's opinions, so she became worried. She was mainly worried that her younger brother would be implicated by her mother's stupid behavior and would be ashamed in front of the Lu family.
It’s one thing that Jiang’s mother is not in the Lu family’s impression of being stupid, but it’s another thing that is stupid. The former is criticized, while the latter makes people laugh. The latter is truly embarrassing!
Zhao Wensheng rubbed his palms and looked around at the room: "Where is Dongzi? I didn't see him when I entered the door."
Xiao Dongzi has been doing a phased eye examination these two days, so he simply stopped classes for two days and did not go to school to study. Zhao Wensheng has now taken leave from the unit and is going to take Dongzi to do the examination. As a result, this little thing that likes to stick to him did not welcome him at the door, which made him a little depressed.
"Where can he go?" Jiang Mei rolled his eyelids at him in a tone that he could even imagine. "Since Nannan was born, he has been all his thoughts on his little sister. Even his beloved aunt has to retreat in his heart."
Zhao Wensheng sighed helplessly: This child is a typical child who is so fond of others. I don’t know who he learned. Anyway, he and his wife have never taught him like this.
If we infer from this, the little guy's behavior in the past two days is a bit arbitrary. People go to my aunt's house not only for the little sister, but also mainly because they discovered that there is an old lady who looks very similar to the little sister, which is more interesting than the little sister, and it has attracted him firmly.
Gu Mo has been with his friends all these two days, and he is not lonely at all. Speaking of these friends all the time, they are real friends all the time. Children have two children and Dongzi. Later, the Lin family’s wife got news from somewhere, saying that Gu Mo was looking for friends from Xiaobei to gather together in the southeast, west and north, so she brought his little Beizi over to the old people to make fun of. The three children are enough to make trouble and lively, attracting countless adult friends to watch. Although these friends are younger than Gumo, they are definitely twice as old as Manman and others. Manman’s family has become a garden for the elderly and children.
When Jiang Da Shao saw this, he was not rejecting the elderly and was just worried that his wife would be tired. Regarding this concern, not only Mr. Jiang, but the head of the Lu family was the most concerned. The first day was ignorant, and the next day, Jun Ye immediately carried his grandfather to educate him. In this way, these old men could come to play. Only two or three a day, and the time could be limited to the morning. The older friends were all angry at Jun Ye's overbearing regulations.
Under such circumstances, the afternoon became the best time for Jiang’s mother to come to Manman’s house to give gifts to Gu Mo.
Zhao Wensheng asked his wife to stay at home so that he would not miss the consequences of meeting Jiang's mother when he went there. Then he walked to Manman's house alone. As soon as he climbed the stairs of the building where Lu's family lived, he could hear Jiang's mother's speech from afar. Jiang's mother is the typical one. When he talks about the place where he feels proud, he immediately raises his tone and speaks like a loudspeaker, as if he is afraid that others will not know her achievements. Zhao Wensheng occasionally twitched his lips and thought, this mother-in-law is indeed quite in line with modern trends. Nowadays, people who don't like or cannot show themselves are really difficult to stand out. Which unit doesn't like to be able to speak eloquently.
"Brother Zhao." Manman opened the door for him, roughly knowing that Dongzi was looking at his eyes, and said, "Dongzi is inside, I'll call him out. Brother Zhao, please sit down first."
Zhao Wensheng said "yes". After coming in, he saw that his mother-in-law opened her mouth and did not stop. Jiang's mother was talking about the place where she was enjoying herself, and even he ignored him. However, he had long been accustomed to Jiang's mother's mother, who had always been incompatible with the line. He was surprised that the butler who sat opposite Jiang's mother and accompanied Jiang's mother showed amazing patience to Jiang's mother's nagging. He actually listened to Jiang's mother and boasted without interrupting any sound. He listened with relish and did not think of falling asleep.
When the butler Gu smiled silently and said hello. Zhao Wensheng bowed to him without saying anything directly to him. The two of them were silently talking back and forth without disturbing Jiang's mother's speech at all. Jiang's mother was deeply satisfied with this and continued to talk about her experience of meeting King Shen in the year, so as to prove that she had the qualifications of the King of Medicine: "At that time, the people who accompanied me, because they did not have the sign of King Shen, insisted that it was fake, so I was the only one in the team at that time, and it was obvious that it was King Shen. The tour guide praised me as Sun Wukong's fiery eyes, and the Buddha Tathagata was willing to bow down, which made me blush."
Zhao Wensheng happened to have no choice but to answer what his mother-in-law said. Fortunately, his wife was not here, otherwise he would have blushed into the pepper bucket. At the same time, he glanced at the ginseng in the gift box on the table, thinking that since his mother-in-law could praise his family's ginseng to the sky, where did these two brushes come from?
Jiang's mother finally disliked Wang Feng's original box of ginseng was too simple, so she specially customized a gift box from outside to hold the ginseng support. So, it looked a bit like that. Not only that, Zhao Wensheng looked at the ginseng that opened the lid of the box for a moment, and his eyebrows slightly raised: It seems that my mother-in-law spent a lot of money this time and had two brushes. From this appearance, even he could not tell the authenticity. Perhaps, it might be true.
Noticing that his son-in-law was watching and found that Zhao Wensheng didn't say a word. He must have been convinced by the facts. Jiang's mother became more proud and pretended to be b. She stopped chatting, and held up the lemon tea made by Manman in both hands, giving others the opportunity to appreciate and admire herself.
Butler Gu picked up a pair of reading glasses and put them on. Taking this clean opportunity, he flipped out the Chinese medicine magazine brought by Jiang’s mother.
Zhao Wensheng stayed in the small living room for a while, and saw that Dongzi and Manman had not come out, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. When he walked to Gu Mo's room, he happened to meet Manman coming out.
"Sorry. Brother Zhao." Manman said a little ashamed, "Dongzi fell asleep. He slept too well and was not awake after shaking for a long time. I have to find him a piece of clothing. I'm afraid I'll catch a cold when I get up like this."
"You don't need to find clothes anymore. I brought him a vest, plus his original coat, enough." Zhao Wensheng patted the children's vest hanging on his arm.
Manman looked up at him with a smile, thinking: It is really hard to find a father who is so considerate and knows how to take care of his children.
"Brother Zhao, go in and change your vest for Dongzi. I'll go to the bathroom to twist a hot towel to Dongzi's face." After Manman said this, he walked straight to the bathroom.
After knocking on the door and hearing the answer inside, Zhao Wensheng unscrewed the door. As for Gu Mo, when Gu Mo first came to the Lu family that night, he looked at him from afar, so he was not too unfamiliar. When he entered the room, Gu Mo looked at him with a serious face, a bit like Jun Ye, full of harsh and picky lines. Zhao Wensheng felt a little pressure, walked over and introduced himself: "I am Dongzi's father."
"Come and look for Dongzi. This child is sleeping in a daze." Gu Mo said, gently patting the little face of the little guy who put his little head on his knees with his fingers.
The little guy couldn't wake up and sat on the bed, but he couldn't just pillow his little head like a bear. Gu Mo felt a medicinal fragrance that made him want to stick to it. After being patted by Gu Mo's fingers a few times, he pouted his lips: "Grandma Gu, let me sleep a little longer. I was dreaming of going to the beach with my little sister."
Unexpectedly, in just two days, his son and Gu Mo were so attached. Zhao Wensheng was a little surprised, walked over and reached out to pick up the child.
When the little guy was picked up by his father using an eagle to catch a chicken, he woke up from his dream. After opening his eyes, he saw that it was his father, and his ten little fingers crossed his fingers: "Dad, why are you here?"
"Didn't your mother tell you that she would go for a checkup in the afternoon?" Zhao Wensheng put his son on the ground and began to put on a children's vest.
"I'm leaving." The little guy thought about it, but he was still reluctant.
Zhao Wensheng couldn't imagine what he could play here, and he could linger. Seeing that Gu Mo had no toys or TVs in the room, let alone anything rare to attract children.
"If you want to leave, I will kiss my sister and Grandma Gu first." The little guy said, and began to push his feet apart.
Zhao Wensheng hurriedly pulled him: "You have a stinky mouth, aren't you afraid of making your sister dislike you?"
The little hand suddenly covered his mouth, and the little guy with a red face ran out shyly, shouting: "Auntie, I want to brush my teeth."
Zhao Wensheng did not follow him out, but wanted to take a look at Xiao Xixi's health. The day after the onset of the disease, Xiao Xixi's disease was almost cured without any symptoms, so he was busy these two days and didn't see him.
Xixi still slept with her sister Nannan, but now there is a little Beizi here to grab the territory. The three children sleep in a small bed, which looks a little crowded. When Zhao Wensheng walked over, the three children were all taking a nap. His little face showed a satisfying expression, and his small lips were curled sweetly. The three were the same black-bellied examples. Zhao Wensheng looked at it and touched his forehead and eyebrows. He could even imagine that in the future, the whirlwind would have to blew up again in this army courtyard.
After brushing her teeth, the little guy ran back shinyly, put his little hand on Gu Mo's knees and said, "Grandma Gu, my grandma is still selling her ginseng."
"Do you know what ginseng is?" Gu Mo still didn't buy it with the child who wanted to act well.
The little guy put his little hand on his face and said, "I don't know, but my dad knows, and my grandma is definitely not as good as my dad knows." After that, the little head turned to Zhao Wensheng: "Dad, you said that grandma's ginseng is really the same as what grandma said. Is it worth a lot of money?"
Zhao Wensheng helped off his glasses, dared not do anything randomly about the child's education issues, and put on a serious face: "Everything needs scientific argumentation to draw a final conclusion."
"Scientific argument?"
"It's just about doing experiments. For example, in kindergarten, didn't the teacher teach you experimental classes?"
The little guy's mouth was round and suddenly realized: "Did grandma do the experiment with ginseng? Otherwise, I'll ask grandma."
When Zhao Wensheng heard that it was not good and wanted to reach out and hold his son, he didn't know that Gu Mo was quicker and quicker. He had already pulled the little guy who was about to rush out, while teaching him a lesson: "A rash look, haven't grandma told you that grandma hates such a child the most?"
The little guy showed extraordinary obedience to Gu Mo's words and nodded: "I'm sorry, Grandma Gu."
Gu Mo then said to Zhao Wensheng: "Aren't you going to take him to see a doctor?" The implication seemed to be a bit like sending guests.
Zhao Wensheng thought to himself that he must have violated something with his son just now, so he thought about it, and put his coat on his son and said, "Okay, Dongzi, it's time to say goodbye to grandma."
Xiao Dongzi was dragged out of the room by his father unwillingly, and turned around and waved his hands to Gu Mo. Manman took a cup of warm water and stood at the door, asking Xiao Dongzi to drink water before leaving. He greeted Zhao Wensheng: "Brother Zhao will not sit for a while?"
"No, I'm in a hurry." Zhao Wensheng expressed his hope.
It’s hard to keep Manman after hearing this.
When Zhao Wensheng saw that Jiang’s mother was still sitting in the living room, he instructed her: “If anything happens, Ayan and Amei will definitely not be able to deal with it. Please call me.”
Manman looked at him gratefully, smiled and waved his head: "Not."
Zhao Wensheng then returned to the unit with the child in his arms. After Xiao Dongzi finished the inspection and was waiting for his father in the office, Xiaotou looked around curiously. This was his first time in the office where his father worked. There were many aunts and uncles coming and going, but they were not unfamiliar with him at all, because they were wearing his favorite green military uniform.
Xu Meilin found a small blackboard from somewhere and used it as a toy for him. She touched his head and said, "Your dad, don't come here so quickly. You can wait here. If you have anything to tell me."
Xiao Dongzi was a little disdainful of her words. He had long been a little adult who could take care of his mother. After Xu Meilin walked away, she saw that there was no one in the office. He threw the boring blackboard on the table, climbed off the chair and walked to a water dispenser placed in the corner of the office, took a paper cup and prepared to fill the water.
As soon as his little finger touched the hot water switch, a cold tone sounded behind him.
"Who allowed you to touch the things here?"
The little heart banged on the spot and blew a big hit, and flew wildly: It was that iceberg king! Even the little sister was afraid of!
When Xiaowei was so shocked that she was retracting, she saw that the hot water was steaming quickly filled the paper cup. If it overflowed and flowed down, it would probably burn him.
Jun Ye quickly and promptly pressed the boiling water switch with his hand stretched out from behind, and looked at the little head with a dark gaze.
The little guy now wants to run into his aunt's arms and hide because he knows that the only one who is not afraid of this person is his aunt.
The door turned slightly, and Mr. Yao happened to come in. When he saw them standing in front of the water dispenser, he had a problem. He walked over a few steps and rescued the little guy from the under the black sky. He asked, "What's going on? Do you want to drink water?"
To be continued...
