If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

I still remember the scene I saw when I first arrived in Luojia Village. Although every household would grow some medicinal herbs, most of them were planted randomly in some corners of the house and yard, and they were not specially cared for, leaving them to grow freely like weeds.

In contrast, what comes into view now is that almost all farmers have specially opened up their yards except for a small area reserved for growing vegetables, and the rest is planted in neat rows. In addition, all the places that can be planted beside the walls and under the eaves are planted.

The roads in the village were also simply leveled and repaired. Although they were not as good as the avenue that Ou Mengde was currently building, which had stones stacked on the roadside and the road surface paved with fine sand and pebbles, at least there were not potholes one after another, and you would get your feet covered in mud if you stepped in.

Doctor Wang and Doctor Gudu, who were walking in front, stopped in front of the fence of a farmer's house. Inside, an old man who looked older than Gudu Zhong was cultivating the soil for the medicinal seedlings in the medicine field. A three or four-year-old child was helping him water the herbs with a small wooden ladle.

"Grandpa, when these seedlings grow up and we exchange them for money, can we really go to school?" The little kid tilted his head and asked the father-in-law beside him naively.

"Yes, when has grandpa ever lied to you?"

"But, grandpa said two years ago that daddy would come back when the kid was three years old, but now the kid is almost four years old and still hasn't seen daddy. Grandpa is always lying.

people. "

After hearing what his grandson said, the father-in-law was stunned. He thought it was hard to deceive him now that he had grown up. Seeing his grandfather's expression change slightly, the child quickly said to comfort him, "But this time, grandpa didn't lie to me. The dog boy next door told me that the village chief also said the same thing, and he heard it with his own ears."

"Grandpa, can I write to Daddy after I go to school and learn to read? I want to tell him that I want to be a general when I grow up."

The old man looked at his little grandson in front of him, closed his eyes to hide the sadness in his eyes, and forced a smile: "Okay, okay, grandpa believes that the kid will become a great general in the future, grandpa is waiting."

"Yeah, I'll keep my word." The little kid looked at his grandfather and nodded vigorously. He saw Luo Sheng standing outside from the corner of his eye and called out happily, "Uncle Luo Sheng, Uncle Luo Sheng."

As he said that, he threw the wooden ladle in his hand into the bucket and ran out of the yard. Luo Sheng couldn't help but smile. He turned to the two old gentlemen standing beside him and asked, "Sir, do you want to come in and sit down?"

At this time, the little kid had already run to the gate of the yard and was looking at Meixiang and her group with a nervous and excited look, with his father-in-law following closely behind him.

"Uncle Zhang, excuse me for disturbing you. These two gentlemen want to go to the yard to have a rest. Do you think it's convenient?" Luo Sheng smiled and bent over to pick up the kid. The kid happily hugged his neck tightly, with his little face pressed against his, refusing to let go.

"Ah, please come in, please come in. Our home is a little simple, but I hope you don't mind." The father-in-law reacted quickly and greeted the doctor Wang and the other person who were standing in the front.

"Father, you are not in a hurry. Can you take me to see the herbs you have been taking care of just now?" Gu Duzhong, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

Interrupting what Doctor Wang was about to say, he looked at Gu Duzhong, then turned to look at Meixiang and Situ Yidong who were following behind him, silently closed his mouth and took a step back, leaving the home court to Gu Duzhong.

Upon hearing this, the old man glanced at Luo Sheng who was holding his grandson. After seeing him nod slightly, he turned around and led Gu Duzhong and Doctor Wang towards the medicinal field, "Sir, please come this way, please come this way."

The old man really took good care of the medicinal field. The rows were neat and the distance between the plants seemed to have been carefully measured. There was not a single weed in the field. Gu Duzhong bent down and touched the soil with his fingers. The moisture was just right.

"Father, do you know what this herb is?" Gu Duzhong pulled the corner of his mouth, trying to force a smiling expression to make himself look less serious, but obviously failed.

The old man kept rubbing his hands together, his wrinkled face slightly reddened: "Sir, I don't know."

Then he added hastily, "But I know how to plant it. The village chief taught me carefully, and I memorized it all. If you don't believe me, I'll recite it to you. Besides, the village chief and Luo Sheng will come over every now and then to make sure there won't be any problems with the planting."

Seeing his father-in-law almost choking with anxiety, Gu Duzhong was shocked. He didn't know how things turned out like this after he asked a single question. He looked blankly at Doctor Wang behind him.

Doctor Wang sighed and said to the old man, "Don't worry, old man. He just asked casually and didn't mean anything else."

"Yes, yes, I just want to tell you that you don't need to take such good care of the herbs in these two plots. The roots and stems of these herbs are mainly used for internal consumption." Gu Duzhong nodded hurriedly, and pointed to the other two plots of herbs for fear of further misunderstanding, and added: "The leaves of the two plots over there must be taken good care of, because they are used for external application."

The father-in-law was stunned when he heard this. Meixiang and others were also stunned. They really didn't expect Gu Duzhong to do this.

Gu Duzhong was like a child who had done something wrong. His face, which had not shown any expression for many years, showed a slight blush. He stood there a little at a loss. Luo Sheng reacted very quickly and said before he could get angry: "I will remember it. Thank you for your advice. Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

"Remember this, I'll only say this once. This and that will be picked after about three months of growth. A little tenderness won't affect the efficacy. You can plant a few more crops between March and November each year. The ones under the eaves are good stuff."

"It's an essential ingredient for a typhoid fever prescription. Its price is as much as the herbs in this yard. Take good care of it and don't let anyone cheat you."

Luo Sheng put down the baby in his arms and ran over. Even Doctor Wang came over to take a closer look at what kind of medicinal herb it was.

"This is called duckweed, also known as orchid grass and bamboo leaf grass. When it grows bigger, it will bloom an unusual blue flower. It is harvested in summer and autumn and dried after harvest. It can be used for symptoms such as colds and fever, fever, thirst, sore throat, edema and oliguria." Gu Duzhong looked at the people who were listening attentively and gave a detailed introduction, finally covering up the embarrassing thing just now.

"Since it's so valuable, Luo Sheng, you should observe it carefully and remember it. Tell the villagers that if they find any in the back mountain, remember to transplant more of them. Also, make sure there are no seeds or the like around." Mei Xiang reminded.
