curling smoke

When it was almost noon, Gu Qiu took Gu Dong home first because he wanted to go home to cook, and agreed to come back to see the old man in two days.After returning home, Gu Qiu picked some fresh melons and vegetables to cook in the yard. Lin Dashan had been busy all morning, and at this time he also went home with fresh bamboo shoots.

At this time, the weather was still not hot, but Lin Dashan had been working for a long time and his face was covered with sweat. Gu Qiu felt very distressed when he saw it. He insisted on fetching a basin of water to help Lin Dashan wipe his face.

Lin Dashan came back with two full baskets of bamboo shoots, and Gu Qiu picked two bamboo shoots of a suitable size, peeled the shells and sliced ​​them, and cut a small piece of bacon to fry together.After cooking, the family sits down to eat.

"The bamboo shoots are really delicious. They don't have any bitterness or astringency. They are very sweet." Gu Dong was very satisfied with today's bamboo shoots.Gu Qiu also thinks so, today's bamboo shoots taste very sweet, and the salty aroma of bacon is really delicious.

Lin Dashan smiled and gave Gu Qiu and Gu Dong a large chopsticks of fried bamboo shoots with bacon, "Eat more if it tastes good, there are plenty of bamboo shoots."

"Dashan, are there still many bamboo shoots on our mountain?" Gu Qiu asked.

"Our bamboo grove is quite big, and there are quite a few. I will try to dig a load in the afternoon."

"There are so many, can our family finish eating?" Gu Qiu looked at the two bamboo baskets full of bamboo shoots and asked worriedly.

"Hehe, of course I can't finish eating so many. I picked these in the morning and kept them at home, and I gave some to my brother and the others. I picked them in the afternoon and bought them in the city tomorrow. Most of the bamboo shoots I dug back in previous years They are all sold in restaurants in the city, and they are regular customers, so they are easy to sell!" Lin Dashan carefully explained to Gu Qiu.

Gu Qiu thought that this morning Dr. He also said that he was going to sell medicine in the city tomorrow. Dr. He is getting old, so it would be better to let Lin Dashan accompany him, and he wanted Gu Dong to worship Dr. He as his teacher and learn medical skills...

"In the morning, Gu Qiu and I took the things to Dr. He. I heard from Dr. He that he will go to the city to sell medicinal materials tomorrow. He is also old. Why don't you go with him tomorrow and help take care of it?" Gu Qiu said. Autumn suggested.

Lin Dashan naturally agreed. He actually respected Dr. He very much, and it would be good to help take care of the elderly.

There was nothing that Gu Qiu could not say to Lin Dashan, after thinking about it, he told Lin Dashan that he wanted Gu Dong to learn medical skills from Dr. He, and he wanted to discuss it with Lin Dashan.

Lin Dashan was surprised at first when he heard Gu Qiu's thoughts, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it would be a great thing for Gu Dong to learn medical skills and read some words from Dr. He, so that he could become a doctor in the future, but Dr. He Will you agree?

Lin Dashan told Gu Qiu about his doubts: "This is a good thing, but will Dr. He agree?"

Gu Qiu shook his head, "I don't know, let's find out Dr. He's tone first, and I'll ask in a few days." Then he looked at Gu Dong who was stuffing vegetables into his mouth, "Xiaodong, Do you want to learn medical skills from Dr. He?"

After hearing Gu Qiu's words, Gu Dong didn't answer immediately but thought for a while before answering: "Brother, I want to learn medical skills from Grandpa He, I like Grandpa He, and I also like medical skills. It's gone." The expression on Gu Dong's face was very serious, completely different from his usual playful and playful look, which also confirmed Gu Qiulin Dashan's idea of ​​asking Gu Dong to worship Dr. He as his teacher.

The next day, Lin Dashan and Dr. He went to the city by car together. Lin Dashan wanted to ask Gu Dong to worship Dr. He, so he was very attentive to Dr. He along the way, not only helped the old man to carry all the medicinal materials, He also cared about whether he was thirsty or hungry along the way, and Lin Dashan was actually a person who couldn’t hide things in his heart. He had a strange expression on his face, and he always looked like a prophecy, and Dr. He felt that this was really true. It's so weird.After the two of them had sold their items, on the way back, Dr. He gave Lin Dashan the money for the snake gall and dendrobium. After thinking about it, he couldn't help asking: "Dashan, what do you want to say? It's been a long time. , or you can just say it straight, if you are not in a hurry, I will be in a hurry!"

Lin Dashan was questioned by Dr. He, Lin Dashan asked with some embarrassment: "Doctor He, have you thought about accepting another disciple?"

Dr. He was taken aback by Lin Dashan's question, thought for a while and asked, "Is it your Gu Qiu, or Gu Dong?"

"It's Gu Dong." Lin Dashan said truthfully.

Dr. He glanced at Lin Dashan, didn't speak, turned around, stroked his goatee and didn't know what he was thinking, until they reached the village, the two said goodbye, and Dr. He didn't give an answer.

Lin Dashan was a little discouraged by this.

Although today's bamboo shoots and medicinal materials were good, Lin Dashan was a little depressed when Gu Dong's apprenticeship failed. When he got home, he told Gu Qiu what happened with Dr. He today.

"Maybe not. Didn't Dr. He refuse directly? Maybe there will be a turnaround in the future." Although Gu Qiu was also a little disappointed, he felt that this matter was not completely hopeless.

Gu Qiu touched Gu Dong who was pouting, "Don't worry, Grandpa He likes you so much, maybe he will take you as his apprentice. Well, don't think about it, let's dry the bamboo shoots .”

There were still a lot of bamboo shoots dug back by Lin Dashan yesterday, except for some of them to give away to others and eat by himself, the rest Gu Qiu planned to dry them into dried bamboo shoots.The taste of dried bamboo shoots is very good. Gu Qiu especially likes to use dried bamboo shoots to make soup, and dried bamboo shoots can be stored for a long time as long as they are protected from moisture.

It is not easy to turn a bunch of bamboo shoots into dried bamboo shoots, but a family can get twice the result with half the effort. Gu Qiu and Gu Dong are responsible for peeling the bamboo shoots, and Lin Dashan is responsible for cutting the peeled bamboo shoots into slices. After finishing all the piles of bamboo shoots, it was almost dark at this time, and it was too late to do anything else.Gu Qiu soaked the bamboo shoots in water first, and waited for the next day to process them.

The weather on the second day was fine, the sun was warm, and there was no sign of rain at all. Gu Qiu and Lin Dashan cooked the bamboo shoots sliced ​​yesterday in batches, and then took them out and spread them evenly on the Take the bamboo plaque to dry in a sunny place.

Apart from eating at home, the remaining bamboo shoots are mainly sent to Lin Yuer’s family. Bamboo shoots are Lin Yuer’s favorite. He especially likes to eat bamboo shoots. She has always been strict, and it is rare for Lin Yuer to eat her favorite fresh bamboo shoots a few times a year. Since Lin Dashan knew about it, she sent dozens of catties of high-quality bamboo shoots to her every year.

This year is no exception, Lin Dashan picked the freshest bamboo shoots and put them in bamboo baskets, planning to go to Wangjia Village in the afternoon, but this year is different, Gu Qiu also plans to go there together.

For Lin Yuer, Gu Qiu has always liked Lin Yuer very much, but because Lin Yuer is married to another village, Gu Qiu has not seen Lin Yuer since the wedding, and Lin Dashan is going to deliver bamboo shoots today. Qiu also planned to follow Lin Yuer.

Lin Dashan and Gu Qiu did not take Gu Dong with him because he had to walk, and Gu Dong also voluntarily stayed at home and watched the bamboo shoots drying in the yard.

Unexpectedly, before Lin Dashan and Gu Qiu arrived at Wang's house, they ran into Lin Yu'er on the way.

Lin Yu'er was carrying a burden, and she didn't see them with her head down, but Lin Dashan saw it with her sharp eyes, and stopped Lin Yu'er who was walking away with her head down.

Lin Yu'er raised her head, her eyes were red, and she looked angry, obviously she was angry at her husband's house.Lin Dashan and Lin Yu'er have always been very close. Lin Yu'er has been very unhappy in Wang Haoliang's house these years, but Lin Yu'er always endured it before and stopped Lin Dashan from asking the Wang family to settle accounts.Seeing Lin Yu'er crying home this time, she must have suffered a great grievance.

Seeing Lin Yu'er like this, Lin Dashan's anger burst into his heart.Throwing down the bamboo shoots in his hand, he will go to the Wang family to settle the score.

Seeing Lin Dashan run wild, Gu Qiu grabbed Lin Dashan, "Oh, I have to find out the matter anyway. I'm looking for someone else. I think we should go home with my brother, and there is no rush to settle the accounts. In a moment."

Lin Yu'er also grabbed Lin Dashan, "Go back first, I don't want to see them now either."

Lin Dashan looked at Lin Yuer who was very tired, and felt that his brother's health was the most important thing, so he had to agree to go home first, but for the Wang family, he was not finished yet.

Under Gu Qiu's comfort and questioning, Gu Qiu and Lin Dashan knew Lin Yu'er's grievance.

Lin Yuer and Wang Haoliang have been married for many years and have never had children. The Wang family blamed him for all the problems. In the past few years, they forced Lin Yuer to see a doctor and drink medicine all day. Although Lin Yu'er was sad, but he had a gentle and forbearing personality. He didn't expect Wang Haoliang's father to tell him that he would marry another brother to Wang Haoliang.

Lin Yu'er was so angry that she almost fainted. He firmly disagreed with this matter. Although he had no feelings for Wang Haoliang for a long time, this was really bullying. In Dayong Kingdom, a man usually only marries one elder brother. Son, there are only a few families who remarry because the older brother's conduct is too bad.Lin Yu'er has worked hard to manage the family these years, but she never thought that the Wang family would make such a shameless request.

Lin Yu'er went to the village to inquire and found out that the Wang family had already started dating brothers, and they had already made appointments.

Lin Yu'er didn't want to have anything to do with the Wang family either. He was completely disappointed with the Wang family and Wang Haoliang.He returned home, packed his luggage and returned to Jiangjia Village.

He originally thought that Wang Haoliang would stop him and persuade him, but he didn't expect that he just watched indifferently.He was so disappointed.Lin Yuer left the Wang family without looking back.

.

Lin Yu'er cried on the way back. He didn't cry for Wang Haoliang, nor was he reluctant to part with this marriage. He cried for himself, hating himself for being such a fool for being a cow and a horse for the Wang family for so many years. Fortunately, he is now sober.

Lin Yu'er looked at her younger brother and firmly said that this time he would make a clean break with the Wang family and never go back.
