Wang family small peasant girl

Chapter 102

"The little doctor is here, please sit inside." Seeing Hong Cheng, Master Wu politely invited him to enter the room and sit down.

Hong Cheng deliberately chose the school to go after the get out of class was over, so as not to disturb the teacher's teaching. The school was quiet at this time, and Wu Xulang didn't seem to be there. There was only the teacher in the room, so it was much more convenient to talk.

After entering the room, Hong Cheng sat down under the greeting of the master, and said, "Master, did I disturb you for dinner?"

"It's okay, it's okay, dinner has already been used, I don't know what the little doctor is doing, but the old man's leg is still wrong?" Master Wu smiled and waved his hands, and then asked Hong Cheng why he came.

Hong Cheng thought about it for a while, but he really didn't have any good words, so he had no choice but to say directly, "Master, don't worry, it's not because of this, your leg injury is no longer serious, I came here because I was hurt by the villagers. Trust me, I have something to ask."

"What's the matter?" Master Wu was stunned for a moment, wondering what the villagers could not come to ask in person, but had to entrust Hong Cheng.

"It's like this. I heard that when my master went to the town last time, I met relatives who wanted to join me. I should have been happy for my master, but the villagers are really reluctant to part with my master. They are afraid that after the master leaves, the children in the village will go to school. It’s gone again.” Hong Cheng spoke slowly, and the master laughed immediately after listening.

"The folks are worrying too much. The old man was hurt and injured this time. Thanks to the help of the folks here, the old man can know how to repay his kindness. Moreover, the old man has been teaching for half his life. Now teaching here is just right for the old man. I have no intention of leaving." Master Wu smiled and expressed his feelings to Hong Cheng.

After hearing this, Hong Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, "With Master's words, the folks can rest assured. On behalf of the folks, I would like to thank Master."

Master Wu was naturally polite again, Hong Cheng wanted to bring the good news to the villagers earlier so that they would not worry about waiting, so he was about to leave.

Hong Cheng just wanted to get up, but Master Wu smiled and said: "It just so happens that the old man also wants to discuss something with the young doctor, is the young doctor willing to listen to the old man?"

"Master, if you have any orders, just tell me." Hong Cheng gave up the idea of ​​leaving, sat upright on the stool again, and listened to Master Wu's orders.

"Ordering is out of the question. What the old man said is also related to the relatives he met a few days ago. The old man has not seen his relatives for many years. Only after this encounter did he realize that he has left his hometown for many years. Now he is in Yuanzhou. He is the doctor in charge of a hundred-year-old medicine hall, and this time he was invited to Changyuan Town for outpatient consultation, so he ran into the old man by chance." Master Wu told the relatives in detail, although Hong Cheng didn't know what it had to do with him , but did not interrupt, just listened patiently.

Master Wu said this, looked at Hong Cheng meaningfully, and then continued: "Originally these things have nothing to do with the little doctor, but the old man sees the little doctor is so busy and hard, and he is still unwilling to give up studying medicine. It can be seen that he is very interested in medicine." Enthusiasm, when we chatted that day, I recommended the little doctor to my relatives, and he agreed immediately, and also said that there is a shortage of a diligent apprentice in Yuanzhou, I don't know what the little doctor thinks?"

This matter was completely beyond Hong Cheng's expectations. When Master Wu stopped talking, he didn't know how to react, and after a long while he whispered: "Thank you, Master, for your kindness. I really can't answer at the moment, can you allow me to think about it for a few days?" ?”

"You should think about it. You don't need to be too anxious, the little doctor. The old man's relatives mentioned that you will stay in Changyuan Town for more than half a month, and you will not leave until more than ten days later. You should think carefully and don't rush to answer." Master Wu Wen Sheng said.

Hong Cheng sat in the master's room for a while, and then left. When he stepped out of the school, he stood outside the door for a long time, feeling a little dazed.

It took him a while to withdraw his thoughts, and rushed to tell the good news to the villagers. When the villagers learned that the master would not leave, they were all overjoyed. Bai, it took less than a day for the whole village to spread the word, and no one was not happy about it.

Perhaps the only one who was worried was Hong Cheng. After he brought the good news to the villagers that day, it was getting dark, so he didn't stay long and hurried back to Baitang Village.

Back outside the gate of the courtyard, he could see lights on in the main room from a long distance away. Grandpa and grandma should be in the main room. Thinking of the two elders, he couldn't help but stop.

To be honest, when Master Wu told him the story, his first reaction was excitement and yearning.

Over the years, he has been working hard to learn medicine, but he has made little progress. Many diseases are difficult to treat. It is not that the master has reservations and is unwilling to teach him the skills. It is just that the master travels around the villages all day long. He is really busy and has no time. Teach carefully, and the peasants are poor, unless it is a last resort, they seldom seek medical consultation, and those who can survive by themselves will not seek a doctor. .

If you go to a big city like Yuanzhou, you will be exposed to many diseases, and your knowledge will increase, and your medical skills will naturally improve. He knows very well what this opportunity means to him. He wants to cherish it, but at the same time he also understands that, It must be many years before they can return home, so what should the grandpa and grandma in the family do.

Both his parents were lost since he was a child, and his grandfather and grandmother single-handedly brought him up, how could he abandon them.

Hong Cheng stood in front of the courtyard gate, watching the red candles flickering in the main room, but his feet were extremely heavy. He didn't know how to step in, and stood silently under the towering canopy until it was dark.

"Is it Cheng'er? Why don't you go into the yard when you come back? It's cold outside. Come in and sit down and eat." After some time, Grandma Hong came to the door of the main room. She was thinking of her grandson, seeing him He didn't come back so late, so he went to the door to look around, but saw a figure outside the courtyard at a glance, and hurriedly called out.

When Hong Cheng heard this, he didn't dare to stay outside the courtyard anymore, he walked in quickly, and said anxiously: "Grandma, I even said you don't have to wait for me, why don't you eat, the food will be cold at such a late hour."

"It's okay. The rice is stuffy in the pot. It doesn't cool so quickly. It'll be fine when you come back. Let's eat." Grandma Hong stepped out of the main room on tiptoe, but Grandpa Hong rushed out from inside at this time, and hurriedly grabbed her , "Old woman, you'd better stay here, I'll just go."

Grandpa Hong didn't talk too much, and strode directly to the kitchen. Grandma Hong could only come up and grab Hong Cheng, and lead him into the main room, "Cheng'er, go in, it's warmer inside." Hong Cheng hurriedly helped grandma in. The main room.

After helping grandma to sit down, Hong Cheng was about to go to the kitchen to help grandpa, but he had already brought all the food and said loudly: "Okay, let's eat while it's still hot."

The whole family sat down to eat. Grandpa Hong took a few bites and said loudly again, "Cheng'er, why don't you come back earlier, don't be so late next time, it's good to starve your grandma."

"Old man, don't read it. Cheng'er is also busy with urgent matters. Okay, let's eat quickly." Grandma Hong hurriedly rescued her grandson. When Grandpa Hong saw what the old woman said, he stopped talking.

Thinking of his grandfather and grandmother's constant love for him, Hong Cheng couldn't help but feel panicked, so he buried his head in cooking and kept silent.

The grandson was brought up by the two elders, so his temper and mind are naturally the clearest. He would never be like this on weekdays. After a while, the two elders felt that something was wrong.

"Cheng'er, what's the matter? Is there something wrong?" Grandma Hong and the old man looked at each other and asked softly.

Hong Cheng refused to say it at first, and the two elders felt that there was something wrong. After some questioning, he finally told the matter.

The two elders were silent for a while, Hong Cheng panicked immediately, and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Grandpa, grandma, don't think about it, I'm good at studying medicine with my master, and I don't know the place outside, so naturally I won't go. "

The more Hong Cheng evaded his words, the more the two elders understood in their hearts that their grandson wanted to go, and he had his ambitions, otherwise they would not have been so tired and hard all these years, refusing to give up studying medicine, and have achieved success in their studies. , Jishi Xuanhu is what he yearns for wholeheartedly.

The two elders didn't speak for a while, and Hong Cheng explained a lot again, for fear of hurting the hearts of the two elders, and then slowly stopped talking. The main room suddenly became silent, the lights flickered, and the mud wall was reflected. From time to time it is bright and sometimes dark, making people feel unspeakably heavy.

"Crack." Grandpa Hong slapped his chopsticks on the table heavily, and the silence in the hall was broken immediately, "You treat my children as dead, we don't need you to die in retirement." The cold voice sounded, and Grandpa Hong burst into tears. He stood up quickly, turned around and left the main room.

Hong Cheng's heart froze. Grandpa had never said such an angry word before. He was afraid that it really hurt his heart. He panicked and stood up hurriedly, wanting to chase him out and explain.

At this moment, grandma Hong took his hand. Hong Cheng turned his head and saw that she shook her head and gently pulled him to sit down again, "Your grandpa has always had a bad temper, but don't panic, he didn't I'm not angry, I blame you."

Grandma Hong's words reassured Hong Cheng a little, but when he thought again, grandma might be comforting him, his mood fell to the bottom again, his head drooped, a little frustrated.

Gentle hands stroked his hair lightly, Hong Cheng raised his head to look, his grandma looked at him tenderly under the light, and said softly: "Cheng'er, in fact, in these years, your aunt has wanted to take us over many times, But we are afraid that if you are not taken care of, if we take you there together, we are also afraid that you will feel inferior if you live under someone else's roof, so we keep rejecting your aunt's proposal."

Because of grandma's poor health and inconvenient legs and feet, grandpa and grandma had only one son and one daughter under their knees. His father died early, and the eldest aunt married to another village. I can't come a few times.

It was the first time that Hong Chengcai knew about these things. He always thought that he was serving his grandpa and grandma, but it turned out that everything was not as he thought. Instead, grandpa and grandma gave up reuniting with their daughter in order to take care of and accompany him. How can he repay this kindness.

"My dear grandson, you don't have to worry about grandpa and grandma. We have your aunt to take care of us, and our bodies are still strong. We will definitely live until you come back. If you want to go, go. Nothing can compare with your future." More importantly." Grandma Hong's hand slowly stroked his cheek, and Hong Cheng's eyes were filled with tears, which dripped on the back of grandma's hand in an instant.
