Chapter 212 Inheritance
Facing Jia Yi's probing eyes, Mr. Zheng didn't hold back and told everything at once.
It turns out that as the news that Mr. Zheng is about to retire has become known to everyone, people in the unit have begun to feel a little unstable. This is something that can't be helped. This will definitely happen when the boss of the unit is replaced, and it is unavoidable.
Therefore, many people went to the deputy director to show their courtesy. This is not to be blamed on them. Most of them were just thinking about it for the future.
It's nothing if it's just like this. Unfortunately, someone wants to step on Mr. Zheng and use a letter of nomination to please the deputy director.
Therefore, some of Mr. Zheng's unusual behaviors, such as the frequent transportation of wooden boxes, reached the ears of the deputy director.
When the deputy director heard this, he thought: It's okay, Lao Zheng won't really make a mistake, and it's at the point when he is about to retire. Does he want to lose his retirement?
The more he thought about it, the more troubled he became. From then on, he paid special attention to Mr. Zheng's whereabouts.
Within a few days, he discovered Mr. Zheng's abnormal behavior, and then he followed him.
Unfortunately, the deputy director was discovered just a few steps into the mountain.
Seeing this situation, Mr. Zheng had no choice but to take him to the cave and explain to him the issue he was most concerned about: what exactly was in the box.
"So, all the antiques inside are collected."
These were the first words from which he knew all the truth.
"Well, I don't want these things to be destroyed in my hands. They shouldn't end up like this."
"Then do you know what will happen to you if you are caught?"
"Haha, it's worth it, I believe you will understand."
Both fell into silence.
…
"So, old man, just tell him everything directly."
"Yes, otherwise what else can I do, silence him?"
Jia Yi was stunned by the question. Since he knew everything, this was the best choice for Mr. Zheng.
"You didn't ask me during this time. I thought you would keep holding it back."
"Well, I just know you won't ask for trouble."
Mr. Zheng said with a smile.
"It's good to know."
His voice suddenly became deeper.
"Sigh, I really don't know when this world will end."
"It should be soon. I believe we will be on the right path soon."
Jia Yi comforted him, saying that he could only say this, because there was no sign of change at all now, even the big things that happened last year had not changed.
Therefore, Jia Yi simply did not dare to tell the history he knew, especially in front of someone like Mr. Zheng who had unique information channels. If he did not do well, the secret would be exposed, and the gain would not be worth the loss.
"Xiao Yi, those things..."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of it."
Everything is stored in Taoyuan, so there is no need to worry, it is the safest place, no one can find it, and no one can destroy it.
"That's not what I meant. We have agreed before. Since I gave it to you, it belongs to you. I just want to remind you to be careful and not let anyone notice it."
"I know this. I have hidden them all in a completely safe place so that no one can find them."
"Well, that's good."
After talking about the business, Jia Yi left. He had other things to do today and couldn't stay in the unit for too long.
Despite hurrying and hurrying, he was still a little late. It was already eleven o'clock when he arrived at Doctor Liu's house.
But it was just in time for dinner.
"Hey, master, I'm here."
"Did you come here specifically at this time? You just don't want to cook for our old couple."
Faced with the old man's joke, Jia Yi didn't hesitate and took out several lunch boxes from the back seat.
"Master, look, I made this especially for you, and it's still warm."
Jia Yi opened three lunch boxes as if he were offering treasures. Inside were sliced green pepper meat, braised pork, and mapo tofu.
It is not a lie to say that these dishes are specially prepared for the two elders.
Because as people get older, their sense of taste often deteriorates and is no longer as sensitive as before. Therefore, for them, more seasonings should be added to the dishes. Only in this way can the taste be tasted.
According to the standards of young people, they would definitely find the food bland and unpalatable.
Birth, aging, illness and death are really unavoidable topics. Even if the old man himself is a doctor, he usually pays great attention to maintenance, but he can only be healthier than other old people. As for the aging and degeneration of the body, it is no matter what.
Nothing can be stopped.
"Well, that's good. Xiaoyi, the food you cook is still so delicious and flavorful."
Jia Yi laughed sarcastically, "Of course they are flavorful. These dishes are heavy in oil, salt, and spicy. It would be strange if they were tasteless."
"Master, as long as you like it, that's fine."
…
Being in your fifties is the best age to be a Chinese medicine practitioner. You are in good health and have good hearing and vision. Of course, this refers to the condition of proper maintenance. In fact, the most important thing is the rich clinical experience accumulated in the previous decades. This counts.
A heyday for traditional Chinese medicine.
Unfortunately, when the old man was in his fifties, it was the late Republic of China, and he was catching up with the craze of Western medicine, and Chinese medicine was almost abolished.
After finally waiting for the country to settle down, the situation of Chinese medicine practitioners did not improve. What happened later made him hide back in his hometown. He stayed there for more than 20 years, and he is now eighty-seven years old.
Already old.
Although he has tried his best to take care of himself, after all, it is an era of scarce supplies, and coupled with worries about the situation of Chinese medicine, his body is still obviously getting worse day by day.
He could feel that he couldn't hold on much longer, so he was eager to accept Jia Yi as his disciple. He just didn't want this medical skill to be lost.
To be honest, he has never had any apprentices in his life.
It's a pity that most of them were unlucky. No, it should be said that it was due to the times.
During the period of the Republic of China, the war was in turmoil, and the four eldest disciples he accepted had accidents one after another, and none of them survived. Only the youngest fifth disciple he accepted later persisted.
As for his children, there were three boys and two girls, none of them were born. The only daughter who studied medicine also studied Western medicine.
The old man was so angry that he almost severed the father-daughter relationship with his little daughter.
The only thing that made him feel lucky was that in his later years he met Jia Yi, a young man who was interested in and believed in traditional Chinese medicine.
The most important thing is that this is not an empty talk. Jia Yi has an extremely good understanding of the medicinal properties of medicinal materials through self-study, which can save a lot of study time.
Therefore, after testing for a while and feeling satisfied, he finally accepted Jia Yi's request to become a disciple last month.
In fact, with Taoyuan here, Jia Yi has always wanted to learn from a real traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. The two parties hit it off, so there was no trouble at all.
"Master, these are all to honor you."
After the meal, Jia Yi brought out some food and medicinal materials. It wasn't that he didn't want to say goodbye, it was just that other old people didn't accept them.
These things are all produced in Taoyuan. They are of excellent quality and have excellent medicinal effects. The old man likes these things very much. He is sure that using the things Jia Yi gave him, food supplements and medicinal supplements can make him live a few more years. In this way
, he will have more time to hand over more things to Jia Yi.
