Medicine Dao Wanhua

After eating melon, Fang Chen and Song Dongxu wanted to help Xia Yunxue with things, but she drove them aside to play.

"It's rare for you to get together, so don't worry about these things. Isn't your father still there? You can talk to him more, and just wait for dinner later."

Fang Chungen echoed that, Fang Chen went home today, and their stall was not open, so he asked Fang Chen to go to their house to get whatever he wanted.

Fang Chen couldn't resist the adults, so he had to take Song Dongxu back to his room.

Although it was a hot summer day, Fang Chen's room was not stuffy. With the windows and doors open, the convective air allowed a gentle breeze to flow in the room, which made the tiny bamboo bush outside the window rustle. That was last year. He and Song Dongxu planted it together, and transplanted the bamboos that are very common in the mountains. There are many such bamboos on the nearby hills. They are not tall, and the thin bamboo poles are even the size of a little finger.

Fang Chen opened the window and stood there looking at the bamboos outside. These bamboos were not much higher than the window sill, but because of Fang Chen's care, they grew very well. Every leaf was green and green, without any pests or diseases.

Picking a leaf casually and putting it to his mouth, a long little tune rang out, simple and smooth, yet full of nostalgia.

Song Dongxu had never heard Fang Chen blow bamboo leaves before, he was taken aback for a moment, then walked to him and lay down on the window sill to watch him blow.

Many people can play with all kinds of leaves. Even Song Dongxu himself has learned from the schoolmates of the children in the village. He can pick up a blade of grass and blow it when he is bored, but he is very ordinary. It's just a ditty that is very popular around here, and it's far worse than Fang Chen.

It's not just him, Song Dongxu dares to swear that any leaf blower he has ever heard is inferior to Fang Chen, and he even feels that the various performances that are often broadcast on TV are also inferior.

The long minor tune is a song I have never heard before, but it is very pleasant to listen to. The rhythm that is neither fast nor slow has a strange taste of calming people's hearts. It is faint, but it surrounds my heart.

"This tune...is Xiaochen playing it?" In the kitchen, Fang Chungen heard that the tune was coming from Fang Chen's room.

"Yeah, Xiaochen is really an incredible child. He knows so many things. I don't know what kind of person his adoptive father is, but he can teach such a child." His behavior is always different from other children, but when thinking about his background, Xia Yunxue can only attribute his differences to precocious wisdom, and as time goes by, she no longer thinks about it.

Although he had no chance to meet Fang Chen's adoptive father, Fang Chungen had heard from Fang Chen that such an elder who seemed to be omnipotent in Fang Chen's mouth could only be looked up to and worshiped by them.

"If his adoptive father hadn't left so early, the child's future would be incalculable." Fang Chungen couldn't help but sigh.

"Then we won't be able to meet him." Although Xia Yunxue agreed with him, she was unkindly thankful, "And isn't it good now? Why is Xiao Chen not promising? I didn't see how long it took. You earned us face by publishing an article at such a young age, and in the future, there must be great promise."

"You're right, it's my relationship." Fang Chungen laughed, looking at Xia Yunxue's complacent look, and suddenly the things that have been worrying me these days are no longer entangled, "Yunxue, with Say something."

"What's the matter?" Xia Yunxue turned to look at him while she was cooking.

"Recently, I heard news from my cousin that there is a boss named Zheng in Decheng who is going to develop and build a factory in Qinghe Town and hire a lot of workers. It seems that he plans to recruit workers from our side. I think Do you want to try it too? What do you think?"

Xia Yunxue was taken aback, "It's pretty good, why do you want to work in a factory all of a sudden, you don't farm anymore?"

Although workers in the unit are very popular now, farmers with their own land are also very popular. In addition, the harvest has been good in the past few years, and the government has various subsidies. Farmed.

"Actually, I'm a little hesitant about this, but you also know that I'm not as smart as my cousin. He analyzed it for me. You see, although we have had a good harvest every few years, the harvest has been good. It’s low. Although we have enough food for ourselves, it’s still not enough for you and your children to eat well and wear well. Besides, Xiaochen is still studying now and will go to university in the future. The one in your belly is also Those who need to study, these are a lot of expenses, and the harvest in the field alone is not enough." Fang Chungen told his wife what Fang Minshu told him.

"Don't I also set up a stall to sell things? This can also subsidize the family."

"But there are not many. Our village is so big. People only come to us to buy small things. It's convenient. Those good things and big things are naturally going to towns and cities. We can't fix them." Come out, and now our family is not the only one selling things in the village, and your body is inconvenient, and this business will be even more difficult in the future, I think it will be closed sooner or later."

When Xia Yunxue was told by him, it was really reasonable. Now there are only two shops in the village that set up small stalls like her to sell some things, and the business has indeed dropped a lot.

Fang Chungen continued: "My cousin told me that the workers Boss Zhao hires are not very demanding. They are not too old and have been educated for a few years and can read and write. But the salary is quite a lot, which is much higher than my farming. Yes, and if they are selected, they will specially invite someone to train. If I really go, not to mention anything else, it is good to learn a craft. no."

Xia Yunxue was really shaken by what he said, "What about the field?"

"If you really enter the factory, the land will naturally be returned to the village, but I just want to tell you first that this matter has not yet been settled, and maybe I will not be selected." Although Fang Chungen said so, I am quite confident. Although he did not go to college, he graduated from high school and went to a technical school. He can repair some machines and so on. The reason why he didn't go because the old man was in poor health was that the school arranged a job. , he couldn't do without, and that's why he stayed in Hexi Village.

Although I have not been in touch with this knowledge for many years, it is quite rusty, but after all, I have the foundation, and it is only a matter of time to get started again, let alone someone to teach.

In recent years, many people have begun to develop abroad, no longer stay in the village to farm, but go to work in the city. He is also a little envious of the wages of the fellow villagers who have gone to work in the city, but his wife is always in good health. No, now that he is pregnant again, he naturally can't bear to leave his wife behind to go out and wander around. Now, the factory he is going to is near Qinghe Town, not far from them. He was tempted, but he didn't say anything because he was afraid that his wife would be sad.

But Fang Chen first asked him where Xia Yunxue was going to give birth and reminded him. If he went to work in Qinghe Town, he would bring Xia Yunxue with him, so he would be closer to the hospital. Yes, there is no need to run around if there is anything.

"Then I'll be at home alone?" Xia Yunxue didn't know her husband's plan, and when she thought of being alone at home, she felt a little frightened.

"Where, if I enter the factory, of course I have to take you with me. I heard that the factory also provides a dormitory. After saving money, we will buy a house in the town, live in peace, and do everything. convenient."

Xia Yunxue was told by him as if the new house was right in front of her eyes, "Then what about our house? It can't be empty all the time, right?"

"What's the matter, we just come back and live for a few days." After all, it was passed down by the elders, Fang Chungen was reluctant to sell it, and they would come back to take care of them in the future.

The couple talked farther and farther away, and soon they talked about the future birth of the child. They didn't remember that all of this would have to wait until Fang Chungen was really chosen.

On the other side, Fang Chen finally finished playing the song he often listened to in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, and turned to look at Song Chungen, who was lying on the window sill, whose bones seemed to be falling apart.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"Is it so obvious?" Song Dongxu touched his face, as if he couldn't hide it from Fang Chen.

"When you came here just now, your face was dark. My dad probably saw it too, but he just didn't bother to care about you." Fang Chen said calmly, and asked again: "What happened?"

Song Dongxu smiled wryly, the previous joy was gone: "My mother really went to have an abortion."

Fang Chen was startled, and then realized: "So fast?" It's only been a few days since I heard him talk about it.

"It's faster than this!" Song Dongxu curled his lips, "My mother is very temperamental and has her own opinions. She doesn't listen to anyone who says what she thinks is right. I came to see you that day. After returning, she has I went to the hospital for an operation, and it took only a few days from the quarrel to the child's death? When I went back, she asked for leave to recuperate at home. Because of this, my dad almost couldn't help beating her."
