Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

"A new bun is hot, and the new bun is hot!"

"Oh, mutton head meat!"

"Smoked fish, fried gluten!"

Even though it had just snowed heavily, the streets were still extremely lively as the year was approaching.

The country people rushed to the city with a wheelbarrow full of agricultural products, thinking about selling more shoes, buying some canvas for clothes, red string for tying hair, and if there were any leftovers, they could buy more shredded tobacco. , Lying in the wheat straw can also enjoy half a day.

People in the city have long been used to seeing the two generals, radish and cabbage, and they want to enrich the dining table in recent days. Even if they are shy, they still have to carry a small fish. No matter how sad the days are, I also look forward to such a turnaround in the future.

What's more, the country has won the battle right now, isn't it?

There was stillness in the movement. Cheng Nuo, who was sitting by the gate, carefully observed the passers-by on the street, guessing what kind of industry they were in, where they came from, and where they were going, thinking about how the things he made could do for them What useful changes have been made.

On closer inspection, the changes don't seem to be many, but they are all useful.

Breeding not only helped the flour union, but also helped the surrounding villagers increase their food production. Although the price of food didn't drop much, at least it didn't fluctuate as much as usual at this year's end, making it more reassuring to buy.

As for the more effective synthetic ammonia, because it has just appeared, the market's recognition of this new product is not yet high.However, many landlords and rich peasants are somewhat interested. Although they will not purchase large-scale, they have already started to conduct experimental fields. When the winter wheat harvest is bumper next year, the price of grain will already be much cheaper.

But what really impresses most people is the broadcast. The most obvious thing is that in order not to miss the listening time, many families have already started cooking in advance. When the rice is ready, listen to it under the speaker, and enjoy it.

"After doing so many technologies, I finally returned to the word 'people's livelihood'. I can slowly take care of 'military use' in the spring. This old boy Haber still owes me a batch of chemical weapons information, and I don't know about this. How many times can I bring back."

Standing up, Cheng Nuo came to the eaves, stretched out his hand to catch the melted water, his hands were cold, but his heart was warm: "There is still time."

Li Laosan, who was sweeping the snow in the yard, was about to pass by the door, but suddenly saw the door suddenly lit up, thinking that he forgot to close the door last night, feeling very annoyed, and hurriedly dropped the broom to close the door.

Walking up the steps, I found a figure outside the door. I looked closely at it was my husband, and was still soaking up the snow, and I was a little anxious immediately: "Oh, sir, why are you here? Is it cold? I'll go with you Bring a stove over here to keep warm."

Turning around and seeing Li Laosan's worried face, Cheng Nuo smiled and said, "Old Li, do you still remember the scene when we first met?"

Li Laosan was stunned for a while, and then said with a silly smile: "How can I forget this, it was such a snowy day back then, I was worrying about where the money for the next meal would be, and I just ran into you, not only gave the car fare, but also Sent a pair of shoes."

While talking, Li Laosan flicked his feet: "Look, this is what I'm wearing. If it weren't for you, let alone whether our family could survive that winter, it was the Zhili flood last time. I don't know where the dragon king rushed to."

Unexpectedly, the other party not only remembered what happened back then, but he was still wearing those shoes all the time. Cheng Nuo was moved, but also a little embarrassed:
"It's been so long, can these shoes still be worn?"

"Of course I can wear it. I went back and brushed it, and asked the boy's mother to sew some new cotton. It's warm now." Li Laosan had a simple and honest face, and he didn't know what he thought, and he wanted to take off his shoes: "Mr. , In fact, these shoes are going to be a little dirty, if you try, I will still wear my own old ones."

"Don't, don't, just put on the ones given to you, and put them on quickly." Cheng Nuo quickly stopped the other party's behavior, Cheng Nuo couldn't help crying and said, "I only have two feet, and I can't put on too many shoes, so it's better for me." Keep it."

Li Laosan didn't act like a fake, with a little regret on his face: "Well, then let the child's mother sew a few more pairs for you later, the current craftsmanship is no worse than other shoe sellers."

At this moment, an ox cart slowly passed by on the street, and when passing by the courtyard house, there was such a bubble of cow dung on the street.

It was nothing at first, but it just attracted the attention of the children, especially when the new year was approaching, Goudaner and their pocket money were much richer than before.

The so-called girls want flowers, boys want guns, and old men want a felt hat.

Goudan'er naturally had firecrackers in his pocket, and he was wandering around the courtyard at this time to see what to fry, when he happened to see cow dung, his eyes lit up.

Regardless of my sister's obstruction, I ran out directly, picked the biggest firecracker from my pocket and inserted it.

"Brother, the clothes are made by our mother, if you stick this thing on, you will be eaten when you go back."

"What do you know? The clothes are always dirty, sooner or later. If our clothes are clean every day, it seems that our mother has nothing to do, then that's not okay."

"You...you are lying!"

"Tch, I don't know as much as you, a little girl, and run away by myself in a while. Don't blame me for not reminding you, my brother!"

Seeing that Nidan'er and Goudaner were about to quarrel again, Wen Cong stood up to smooth things over and said, "Brother Gou, we don't necessarily have to blow up this stuff, right? It's fun to fry it, even if it doesn't work, let's go to fry the dog bowl, the last time I passed by that yard, didn't the dog kill you?"

The tree hole in front of him is really not interesting for Goudaner, but thinking of the last time he passed by the foreign devil's house next door and deliberately released a wolf dog to scare him, it really makes people itch with hatred, and I want to take revenge a long time ago.

But looking back at the cow dung, it was steaming, it was really hard to give up.

"The dog is on a leash, so he can't run away. When we're done, let him lose his job. It's just this cow dung..." Goudan'er's eyes lit up, and he squatted down and tried his posture to see what he would do next. Posture running is even more handsome: "We have never seen such enthusiasm before, and it was all guessed as mud."

Wen Cong was really a little speechless, seeing that the other party had inserted the firecracker into it, or even completely submerged it, and couldn't pull it out and put it back in his pocket, that was too shameful.

Stepping back gradually, Wen Cong shouted: "Brother Gou, be careful, I'll run away first."

"Okay, don't go too far, or you won't be able to see such a shocking scene." Goudan brought his head back, and continued to squat down to study.

After all, the commotion here was a bit loud, and Cheng Nuo was dumbfounded watching it. He could even imagine the scene of feces splashing later. Even though he was far away, he subconsciously turned sideways and covered his face with his arms.

Li Laosan next to him was so dark that he had already taken off his shoes again, ready to give his son a heart-wrenching realization, but after seeing the muddy road, he put on his shoes silently and bowed to the gentleman next to him: " Sir, my son is too worrying, wait for me for a while and see if his skin is itchy again!"

After saying this, without giving Cheng Nuo a chance to reply, he picked up the broomstick and walked towards Goudan.

Walking to the side of the road, I happened to bump into Wen Cong who was about to stay away from the cow dung. Seeing Li Laosan's fierce look, his face twitched suddenly: "Uncle Li, brother dog, isn't he..."

Li Laosan had a cold face, and pointed to the other side with the broom stick: "Stay away for a while, don't protect your dog brother anymore, or you will clean up with me later!"

Wen Cong didn't dare to speak, so he ran away in a small step, but as a buddy, he really didn't want to see Goudaner being beaten like this, so he shouted at the top of his throat, "Brother Gou, you little snack..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Laosan in front of him immediately turned his head and warned Wen Cong not to continue talking with his eyes wide open.

Helpless, Wen Cong had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

Goudaner, who was fat with cow dung, thought that his little brother was in a hurry, squatted down and replied, "Don't worry, I thought one firecracker was not enough before, so I inserted a few more just now to fire their cannons." Twist and connect, I will put a bigger one for you later!"

The more I listened to Li Laosan's face became darker, and in the end, water was dripping from his face, and his steps continued to grow.

From the perspective of the outside world, Goudan, who was squatting on the ground, seemed to have a telepathy at the last moment, suddenly got up from the ground, and ran straight back.

It's a pity that he ran in the wrong direction and just fell into Li Laosan's arms.

"Father!?" Goudan was shocked.

"You son of a bitch, your reaction is quite fast. Now you know how to stand up? It's too late! I'm sure I won't teach you a lesson!" Li Laosan was furious, and he raised the broomstick and was about to swing it down.

"No, Dad, listen to my explanation, you have to run now!" Goudan immediately explained.

"Excuse me, what's the point of explaining this? The cannons are all plugged in. Now I've caught you. Let's see where you can go. It's useless even if your mother came here today to beg for mercy. You have to smash your ass!" Li Laosan was not polite.

Just when the broomstick was about to be swung down, due to the misplaced standing of the father and son, several consecutive cannon shots suddenly sounded in front of Li Laosan, and his eyes went dark for an instant, and countless bursts of cow dung rushed towards Li Laosan's face. Come have a good time.

At first Li Laosan was still a little puzzled, but when he touched it from his face and confirmed the real thing, he was about to explode with rage, so he held the broom stick with both hands and knocked it against his knee, and immediately split it into two parts. Holding a bare wooden stick, I am about to talk to my son about the depth of fatherly love.

It's a pity that Goudan'er knew something was wrong, and started to slip away the moment the firecrackers rang out, and now he has even distanced himself from his father.

How could Li Laosan admit defeat like this, and quickly chased after his son.

"Little bastard is really good. I know that you fried cow dung here, and it's like this now. What else are you afraid to do in the future?"

"No, I reminded you just now to run away, but you just didn't listen, and now you're blaming me!"

"Get out, if you didn't blow it up in the first place, how could there be so many things?"

"If you don't block my way, there won't be so many things..."

Just like that, surrounded by a pile of cow dung, a delightful "bloody" case was staged in the courtyard.

However, Cheng Nuo didn't follow along after that. Instead, he quietly prepared some gifts for those old friends he had met after returning to Beijing. There were small vendors who were enthusiastic about selling him authentic soybean juice. They would continue to meet each other. Tasting is invited.

This time, Cheng Nuo sternly refused. No matter what, he couldn't get used to this thing. The more authentic it was, the more he couldn't bear it.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, I came to the old doctor's house who had treated Wen Cong and Wenhui brothers and sisters before. Although the meeting was not blocked this time, the old man's complexion looked quite bad.

After a brief chat about state affairs, the old gentleman said with a heavy heart: "Professor Cheng, what do you think of the current Chinese and Western medicine?"

"Opinion?" Cheng Nuo was stunned, and then said: "It's not an independent view, but I think Western medicine is the best in Western classical science, which emphasizes the specific and empirical spirit, and Chinese medicine is the best in Chinese traditional culture. , if one of the various disciplines can best reflect the characteristics of Chinese and Western cultures, I think medicine is the most suitable."

The old man's expression softened slightly, and he shook his head, "It would be a great blessing if everyone in society is as enlightened as Professor Cheng."

Cheng Nuo frowned in confusion and said, "Where did the old man come from?"

The old gentleman didn't answer in a hurry, but got up and took out a pair of calligraphy and painting from the bookshelf, took it and put it on the table: "You might as well open it and have a look."

Although Cheng Nuo was puzzled, he opened it slowly. After all the content on it was displayed, he finally understood where the old man's negative emotions came from. He saw a couplet written on it:
"Climbing mountains, eating meat, scolding Chinese medicine, the heart is not old for years

Writing, drinking, and speaking the official language are difficult to know and do.”

The first couplet is easy to understand, and it means the superficial meaning of the words. The second couplet’s “speaking official language” is a popular saying for advocating the Mandarin movement. The whole couplet and the second couplet are criticizing Chinese medicine.

No wonder the old man couldn't bear to receive such a calligraphy and painting for no reason.

Medicine is not only an applied skill related to the national economy and people's livelihood, but also closely related to social life and historical development, including deep cultural connotations such as ways of thinking and values.

In the context of the current social, cultural, and ideological changes, the fields of Chinese and Western medicine have begun to compete for academic excellence, publishing newspapers and publications, refuting each other, and even making insulting remarks.

Even in order to draw a clear line with the old era, the Beiyang government directly canceled Chinese medicine in the new academic system.

"Ren Zi Gui Chou Academic System" stated that "but now the world is in great harmony, science is becoming more and more refined, and any teaching of specialized science must be balanced by the latest theories."

It means that everyone is studying modern sciences such as anatomy, pathology, and bacteriology, but Chinese medicine is still spinning around on the theory of yin and yang and the theory of the five elements, which is really out of date.

However, Cheng Nuo didn't want to join these scolding battles, and although his medical school had a lot of western medicine, there were also Chinese medicine, and he could use whichever was easy to use.

Especially now, he was counting on the old gentleman to come forward and join the medical brigade that was treating Planck's daughter.

This couplet gave Cheng Nuo a good starting point. (end of this chapter)
