Chapter 53 Homesickness
Near the end of the period, in the afternoon, Wang Zhong rode a bicycle and returned home with Guangming, and the smell of food was already wafting from the kitchen.

"It smells so good!" Although Guangming is invisible to the eyes, his sense of smell and hearing are more acute than ordinary people.

Wang Zhong smiled and talked to Guangming while locking the bicycle: "Guangming, let me test you. What kind of food did your sister cook today?"

Guangming also had a smile on his face. Hearing this, he tilted his head slightly, his nose twitched, sniffed lightly twice, and then said confidently: "Scallions roast beef, fat intestines, stewed lamb, and a cabbage tofu soup."

"Can you smell the cabbage tofu soup?" Wang Zhong was a little surprised. The meat and intestines could be smelled nothing, but the cabbage tofu soup is mainly light, and the seasoning is only salt, which can be smelled , this is not an ordinary skill.

"With your sense of smell, it's a pity to learn bone-setting massage." Wang Zhong said jokingly.

Guangming smiled and said: "Bone setting massage is very good, I like it too, and it can help others. In the past two years, I have also learned how to identify medicinal materials from the master."

"Identifying medicinal materials? Why haven't you heard this mentioned before?" Wang Zhong was a little surprised, his bright eyes couldn't see, and he knew that identifying medicinal materials must be far more difficult than ordinary people.

"When I first started learning, I didn't know if I could learn well, so I didn't tell you." Guangming said.

In the first few months when they came to Yanjing, Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan took Guangming to almost all the big hospitals in Yanjing, and also found many experts through He Damao's relationship, but the results were not ideal.

Bright eyes are a problem brought about in the womb, not acquired, nor can it be simply replaced by a cornea. With the current medical technology, there is no possibility of cure.

But he didn't want to run around in major hospitals, by chance, Guangming unexpectedly became interested in bone-setting massage.

He Damao was entrusted again. He found an old Chinese doctor who is proficient in bruises and bone setting massage. It took a lot of effort to get the old man to accept Guangming as his apprentice.

From the beginning of [-] to now, Guangming has followed the old Chinese medicine for more than three years.

When I was at home, I often gave massages to my family members, especially Li Suhua. As he got older, all kinds of minor problems appeared all at once. His waist and legs were sore, and he always felt weak all over. Ten days and a half Yue has to find Guangming and press it.

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "It means that now that you have completed your studies, you can tell us?"

Guangming shook his head, and said: "Chinese medicine is extensive and profound, and there are many types of medicinal materials, and there are not small differences between each medicinal material in different years. How can it be so simple? I have studied it for two years, and I have only learned a little. .”

Traditional Chinese medicine is indeed extensive and profound. It is enough to study bone-setting massage and bruises for several years.

"However, I have already memorized the formulas of the several types of Chinese medicine wine and plaster taught by the master."

"Go back to your sister for the money, and prepare some medicinal wine and plaster for yourself at home, so you don't have to go out to buy them in the future."

"I still have money..."

As soon as Guangming's words came out, Wang Zhong interrupted: "You have to save your little money to marry a wife in the future!"

Bright rarely blushed.

In the kitchen, Zheng Juan was wearing an apron, holding a spatula, and was busy by the stove. There were three meat dishes on the maroon tray, which were exactly the three hard dishes that Guangming said. In the steaming pot, The juicy and green cabbage and the white tofu are intertwined and set off each other.

Cabbage Tofu Soup, also known as Emerald White Jade Soup, is filled with fragrant and steaming rice in an iron pot next to it.

"I'm back!" Hearing the footsteps, Zheng Juan turned to see Wang Zhong, and a smile appeared on Zheng Juan's face.

Wang Zhong said: "You can smell the fragrance outside the yard, Juan'er, your craftsmanship is getting better and better!"

Zheng Juan smiled and said, "It's you, the master who teaches well."

They sang and complimented each other, and they cooperated quite tacitly.

Wang Zhong's cooking skills are still at level 3. After going to university these years, he is so busy that he has no time to cook. Naturally, he has no progress, but Wang Zhong is a tricky person. Zheng Juan naturally became Wang Zhong's chef. The first great disciple in art.

Zheng Juan has been cooking since she was a child, and she is diligent. Even Li Suhua praised her cooking skills. After more than three years of hard work, under the guidance of Wang Zhong, a strict teacher, Zheng Juan's cooking skills are now outstanding. Good Northeast cuisine, I also learned a lot of Sichuan cuisine from Wang Zhong, and learned Yanjing's fried noodles and sesame cakes from the neighbor's aunt.

On the table of the Eight Immortals in the main room, the eight sets of bowls and chopsticks have already been properly arranged.

Wang Zhong helped Zheng Juan bring all the food to the table. The four children had already sat down, holding bowls in one hand and chopsticks and spoons in the other, waiting for a long time.

The bowls and chopsticks are taken by Zhou Cong and Feng Yue. The two children are now seven or eight years old. They usually help the family make soy sauce, buy monosodium glutamate, and fetch the bowls and chopsticks.

"Bingkun, isn't the semester over now? What are your brothers and sisters busy with? Don't even talk about coming over to sit at home." At the dinner table, Li Suhua was full of resentment.

Wang Zhongdao: "I don't know very well, but they should be busy with internships and papers. After all, they are all seniors, and they will graduate next summer."

"I can't even see a shadow every day. Are you so busy?" Li Suhua grumbled unwillingly.

"How can you go home every day?" After thinking about it, Li Suhua came to his senses. Wang Zhong, like Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong, was also a senior in senior year, and now he was doing an internship outside. There was no reason for them to keep their feet off the ground However, Wang Zhong stayed at home with his wife and children every night.

"Can this be the same!" Wang Zhong continued to fool around: "We have different majors."

"I work in engineering, and now it's winter again, the soil is frozen, and many projects have stopped, and it's okay to pass every day now."

"Big Brother and Zhou Rong are different."

"All right, all right!" Li Suhua waved his hands, with an impatient expression on his face: "I can't even tell you anything, it's all up to you."

"Then you still ask!"

Li Suhua said angrily: "Isn't it because we're going back to Jichun tomorrow! It's fine if they don't come with us, don't they even have time to meet up before we leave?"

This time, Wang Zhong didn't answer. He and Zhou Rong had turned against each other a long time ago. When they met, it was unprecedented to be able to say a word. Let alone Feng Huacheng, Wang Zhong had a grudge against him, let alone Maybe take the initiative to get close, Feng Huacheng will naturally not make fun of himself, and find it difficult to find fun with Wang Zhong.

As for Zhou Bingyi, Wang Zhong didn't intend to get close to him at all, lest people think he wanted to have a relationship with the leader's son-in-law, and the three views of the two were different. Say something.

Wang Zhong was also so happy that he was out of sight and out of mind.

Li Suhua asked Zhou Bingyi to live in the courtyard more than once, but Zhou Bingyi was a man with strong self-esteem and a sensitive mind, how could he do such a thing as lodging in his brother's house.

Moreover, Zhou Bingyi was also worried that once he took over Wang Zhong's house, Wang Zhong would come to him in the future if he had something to do, and asked him to ask his leader, father-in-law, for help. Would he look for it or not?

So Zhou Bingyi would rather live in a dormitory than in Wang Zhong's courtyard. It would be nice to visit Li Suhua once or twice a month, and he would not stay longer every time, basically just eating Just leave after dinner.

"Why don't you ask them yourself when they come?" Wang Zhong said.

Li Suhua took a look at Wang Zhong.

"Mom, eat vegetables, the stewed mutton is delicious, eat more mutton." Under Li Suhua's knife-like gaze, Wang Zhong was defeated in an instant, and changed the subject in an extremely doggy manner.

After the meal was over, Li Suhua did not give Zheng Juan a hand as usual, but hesitantly held Wang Zhong, and after a lot of entanglement, he stumbled and said, "Bingkun, Mom wants to discuss something with you! "

"What's the matter, tell me!" Wang Zhong smiled slightly, seeing Li Suhua's expression, Wang Zhong vaguely guessed what Li Suhua wanted to say.

Li Suhua's eyes flickered, and he said with emotion: "Bingkun, although Yanjing is lively, it's not our house after all, and it's not fun to live with my mother. Now you are about to graduate from university, and your children are growing up. Now, Guangming has settled down, and Mom thinks that after going back this year, she will not come back to Yanjing."

"You see?" After getting along for so many years, Li Suhua has already regarded Wang Zhong as his reliance and the head of the family. This kind of decision must have Wang Zhong's consent.

Wang Zhong was not surprised, he said that fallen leaves return to their roots. Li Suhua has lived in Jichun for most of his life, and has already regarded Jichun as his hometown. Once this person gets old, he wants to return to his hometown.

Otherwise, how could there be so many people who would rather starve and suffer poverty than relocate and die in their hometowns.

Seeing the homesickness in Li Suhua's eyes, Wang Zhong said: "That's just right. After I go back this time, I will let Juan'er stay with you in Jichun with the children. I will go back to find you when I graduate next year."

"Juan'er and the children are going back with me?" Li Suhua was a little surprised: "What about Guangming? Doesn't he still have to learn bone setting from his master?"

Guangming smiled and said: "Auntie, the master said that my bone-setting massage is ready to be a teacher, but I am still not good at identifying medicinal materials, but there are many kinds of Chinese medicines, and I can't see them with my eyes, so I can only identify them through touch and smell." , it is even more difficult, it cannot be learned in a year or a half, it may take several years or even ten years."

"Ah! How long will it take?" Li Suhua was very surprised.

"The master said that what I have learned now is basically enough, but it is always beneficial to know more."

Guangming said: "It's just right, this time I will stay in Jichun with you and my sister, and I won't go back to Yanjing."

Wang Zhong looked at Guangming and asked, "You really don't plan to come back?"

Guangming nodded, with a smile on his face, and replied seriously: "Brother-in-law, we have been away from Jichun for more than three years, and I miss home and my mother."

Zheng's mother's ranking is now enshrined in Beituo Temple. In the past three years, the family only returned to Jichun in [-] for the Spring Festival, and they haven't been back until now.

Although Guangming has eye disease and cannot see the light, he has inherited Mother Zheng's kindness, has a keen mind, and has the greatest kindness towards the world.

"Since everyone wants to go back, let's all go back." Wang Zhong made a decision directly.

"But Mom! I have a condition, you have to promise me!"

Being able to go back to Jichun is already a great event. Li Suhua was so happy that he didn't care about any conditions. He waved his hand immediately: "Don't mention one condition, it's ten, one hundred mothers will agree to you."

Hearing this, Wang laughed again, "After returning to Jichun, you have to live with Juan'er in your new home."

"Hi! It's up to you!" Li Suhua rolled Wang Huicong's eyes, then moved to Zheng Juan's six-month-old belly: "In a few months, Juan'er will give birth. The ghosts are all worried, I am not willing to let Juan'er and Guangming take them."

"Mom! I mean, after Juan'er has a baby, and when the children grow up in the future, you will always live with me, Juan'er and the children in the new home."

"This..." Li Suhua hesitated, frowning slightly, showing a tangled expression.

"I didn't say I wouldn't let you go back to the optical film, but usually, you live with me and Juan'er in the new home. If you want to go back to the optical film at any time, you can go back and stay for a few days at any time."

"But your dad is going to retire soon, I..." Zhou Zhigang built the optical film house by himself, brick by brick. Li Suhua gave birth to three children in that house and spent most of his life .

"Mom! Our family has four children now, and there will be five soon. You don't want to bear the old house with optical film, and you don't want to bear my father. Don't you have the heart to watch Juan'er work day and night alone, with her head and feet hanging upside down? Don't touch the ground?"

"Besides, the house at home is so big and there are so many rooms, are you afraid that you won't be able to accommodate the old couple?"

After speaking, Wang Zhong did not forget to wink at the children.

Although Lingling was the youngest, she had the quickest reaction. She immediately jumped off the stool, trotted to Li Suhua's side, grabbed Li Suhua's thigh, and acted coquettishly: "Grandma! Lingling wants to live with grandma!"

The remaining three children also rushed out, the one who grabbed the hand, the one who hugged the thigh, stuck to Li Suhua's body like a dog's skin plaster, and called grandma softly.

Li Suhua was moved with tears in his eyes, and his heart melted long ago, "Okay! Grandma won't leave! Grandma will live with you!"

Wang Zhong gave Zheng Juan a smug wink, and hurriedly said: "Okay! Mom! Then it's a deal! I don't want to go back on my word."

Li Suhua sighed. Although he was a little helpless, he was not unhappy at all. Compared with the old house that he spent half his life in, Li Suhua was more reluctant to part with these eccentric grandchildren.

Besides, they are all in Jichun, not Yanjing, which is thousands of miles away like now.

Three generations live under the same roof, with children and grandchildren around their knees.

······
In the early morning of the next day, a large family, Guangming led the two older ones, Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan carried the luggage, Li Suhua led the two younger ones, and each carried a burden on their bodies. I ran to the train station.

The train tickets had been bought long ago, and Wang Zhong bought all six beds in a box to prevent the children from running around.

At first Li Suhua complained that Wang Zhong wasted money, but when he saw the almost crowded situation in the car, he was glad that Wang Zhong bought a sleeper berth.

Lunch can only be settled on the train. By the time the train arrived in Jichun, it was already past seven in the evening, the sky was already dark, and it was still snowing outside.

The road outside the station was covered with a half-foot-thick layer of snow.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when a group of people arrived at the optical film's house.

Instead of going back to the optical film, I went directly to my new home which is closer to the train station.
