Time pays off
Chapter 22
I called him on the day I came, and the old man packed up his friends and went to visit friends the next day. During this time, he had been acting as his granddaughter in the hospital, and he was very relieved when he left, and he didn't even call back.Who ever wanted to know that Shen Nian had never been in a hospital before visiting a friend, this is terrible, it has never happened before, so he was very angry.
Jiang Yutang said bluntly, "Dad, please calm down first, your granddaughter has gone to work, and it's not that she is not doing business." Shen Hong also helped to prove that the couple wanted to speak well for their daughter.
The old man said angrily, "What is she doing, what is more important than the medical clinic?"
"I went after your granddaughter-in-law."
The old man became even more angry when he heard it, "What grandson-in-law? Who has to let my granddaughter chase after him! Why are boys so blind now?"
Jiang Yutang knew that he had misheard, and added, "You misunderstood, it's the girl you're chasing, your granddaughter-in-law, so you can understand?"
Mr. Shen stared wide-eyed and asked, "What girl? Where did the girl come from?"
"Oh, you have seen it too, and adjusted her body, Qing Lan, do you remember?"
"It's her? How old is that little girl? No way! I don't agree with this!" The old man's attitude was very firm, thinking that the little girl is so tender, her granddaughter should not be a child to coax her.He imagined that the granddaughter object must be able to help the granddaughter a little bit.How can I find a smaller one? If I can’t help you, can my granddaughter concentrate on running the clinic?
"Look how much you worry about being parents. When I saw the two of you, I felt really worried. You are so hasty about your daughter's life, and I, a grandfather, have to worry about it." After finishing speaking, the old man walked away angrily with his hands behind his back
Leaving the couple face to face.My heart said that we were in our fifties, and we were almost able to be grandparents, but we were still scolded by the old man, so we didn't worry about it. Fortunately, no one else was around, so we don't want to lose face!After a while, the couple began to worry about their daughter again, thinking that this is a tough battle to fight!It's not easy for the old man. As people who have experienced it, they recalled that when they first got together, the old man scolded him much more harshly than now.
Shen Nian and the others returned to Shencheng and went straight home. As soon as Cheng Qinglan entered the door, she was warmly welcomed by Jiang Yutang and his wife. She was satisfied no matter how she looked at it.Shen Nian didn't care, and carried the gift to the living room.
After entering the room, Cheng Qinglan presented Jiang Yutang with a gift, and soon after, Mr. Shen also came out of the study room. When he saw Cheng Qinglan, he was taken aback for a moment before sitting down on the sofa with a heavy face.The appearance of Xin Dao has changed a lot, it is better to adjust her by myself, it seems that the effect is good.The appearance looks more mature and familiar, but I can't remember who it looks like, and that doesn't change the fact that I'm 8 years younger than my granddaughter, so I'm still not satisfied.
Cheng Qinglan called out respectfully, and Mr. Shen gave a lukewarm hum.
Cheng Qinglan deeply felt that the old man was having a difficult time, but then there was an unexpected scene, which made everyone unexpected.It starts with the gift prepared by Cheng Qinglan.
The gift she prepared was also thoughtful. It was packed in a very elegant wooden box, with calligraphy written by her, and a portrait of Mr. Shen. , but also a soft-hearted person, good is good.Disagree with disagreement, does not affect his appreciation of the gift.The box that was finally opened contained a medical book, which could be seen to be quite old at first glance, the old man was very cautious, carefully took it out and held it in his hand to read.
This book is indeed precious, and it is in such good condition.There are only a few medical books from this period, and all of them are stored in museums. The old man thought to himself, this little girl gave it away, and this book could buy a house if it is auctioned off.I can't help but examine whether the little girl knows the true value of books.
Although he loves this book, he is not a person who is greedy for money and takes advantage of others.
Cheng Qinglan saw what he was thinking, and respectfully explained the reason for sending the book. This medical book was accidentally obtained by Grandpa Cheng. There were originally three books in the family collection, but two were lost during the war, and the remaining one was kept at home. There are too many books. Forget it at the bottom.No one in their family studied medicine, and it was of no value to keep it. Thinking that the Shen family could use it, so giving it to the old man was considered to make the best use of it and let it play its due value.Grandma Cheng also thought it was appropriate.
At first, Cheng Qinglan planned to send Shen Nian off, they were not together at that time, and they simply didn't want the medical books to be dusty.Later, Shen Nian went to the research institute and had no chance to send it out.Before coming here this time, she thought it would be the most suitable gift for Grandpa Shen, so she copied two copies by hand and gave one to Shen Nian.The other one is given to the old man along with the original version. It is more casual to browse through the manuscript, while the original version can be used for collection, and it is also very thoughtful.
"Here, who are you, Cheng Daokang?" After listening to what she said, the old man was closing the medical book in his hand when he saw the seal on the title page. It was a plum blossom-shaped seal. It was a book collection stamp, very small. Be careful not to be conspicuous.Mr. Shen thought this chapter was very familiar at first, and then looked at the name carefully, and he was even more surprised. It was the name of a very good friend when he was young. Just looking at the name alone, there may be duplicate names, but this chapter is absolutely impossible to admit a mistake. This chapter Or he gave it to a friend back then.So he asked aloud, and his voice was raised a lot!
Several people on the sofa were taken aback by Mr. Shen's state, and so was Cheng Qinglan, wondering what was wrong with Mr. Shen, and were taken aback.Thinking of this, he still replied, "It's my grandpa."
After finishing speaking, I feel that this scene is so familiar. When the old man asked her about her relationship with the uncle, it seemed to be the same tone, didn't it?It can't be such a coincidence!Does Grandpa Shen still know my grandfather?I also feel that it is impossible, and I have never heard anyone in my family mention it.
Shen Nian and her parents also looked at the old man strangely, not knowing what the specific situation was, but they all had a vague guess.
Mr. Shen stared at the little girl in front of him, trying to find traces of his old friend from her. She didn't look much alike, but looked a little like her, and she spoke and acted alike.When Master Shen saw her, he couldn't help but miss his best friend whom he hadn't seen in half a world, and suddenly remembered that his daughter-in-law mentioned the little girl's life experience before, saying that her parents and grandfather passed away on the same day.
Old Man Shen felt a pain in his heart, the joy of getting news from his old friend was gone, and the only thing left was sadness.There was a moment of sadness and joy, and it was too unexpected that the little girl in front of him would be the granddaughter of brother Daokang.
Being stared at by the old man, Cheng Qinglan was a little at a loss, and asked uncertainly, "Grandpa Shen, do you know my grandfather?"
The old man came back to his senses and sighed, "It's not just acquaintance. Brother Dao Kang and I were close friends when we were young. Brother Dao Kang was talented and handsome. When he was young, he often came to Shanghai and Gusu. I met him through friends." We knew each other and became close friends at the first sight. At that time, he had a good relationship with the Qiu family in Gusu. Every time I went to the Qiu family, he would come to Shanghai to meet me. Most of us came from a scholarly family. Although Brother Dao Kang is from a landlord family, But the literary talent is outstanding, and we hit it off very well.
Later, he lost contact during the war, and at first he was able to occasionally inquire about his safety from his friends in Suzhou.And then catch up with the Cultural Revolution, alas!The Qiu family in Gusu was turned into ashes overnight. At that time, everyone was afraid of being implicated. A group of friends had no contact with each other, and they didn't want to hear any news about their old friends. . .The old man burst into tears when he said this, feeling depressed
Seeing the old man like this, Cheng Qinglan was also a little sad. She never thought that there would be such past events. Grandpa Shen and grandpa were friends.
The family of three sitting next to them was dumbfounded, the world is so small, if they didn't hear it with their own ears, they wouldn't believe it was true.Thinking of this time being more kisses and more kisses, Jiang Yutang thought in her heart that the old man should agree this time.This old man is the most protective, he misses his old friend so deeply, so he has to protect his granddaughter no matter what.
Jiang Yutang remembered that the old man had just mentioned the Qiu family in Gusu. The little girl's grandmother was not named Qiu, but also from Gusu, and she and her mother were close friends in the boudoir.God, what a coincidence!It is uncertain what relationship the old man has with the Qiu family.
"I really didn't expect you to be the granddaughter of Brother Dao Kang. I am very pleased to see you, but one size counts for one size. If you two want to be together, I don't object for the time being. I think it's useless to object. You will still Stay together. Look at your performance, you haven't officially worked yet, you have to work hard, otherwise, if you want to go further and get married, I will not agree, and this will not change just because you are the granddaughter of Daokang brother." Mr. Shen's attitude is soft Many, and the tone is much gentler.
It was a big concession for the old man to say that, and Cheng Qinglan couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, at least he didn't throw her out.The old man accepted the gift and praised her for her good drawing.Cheng Qinglan thought to herself that thanks to the kindness left by her grandfather, this book was a perfect gift and worth it.
Shen Nian had planned to stand up to defend her when her grandfather was cold-hearted towards Cheng Qinglan, but Cheng Qinglan secretly pressed her hand to prevent her from moving.This will lift the crisis, and the two of them held hands tightly and never let go.
48. The past of the Shen family
"When you go back to Jiangcheng this time, I'll be with you. I'm going to pay homage to Brother Changkang." Mr. Shen looked at Cheng Qinglan sadly and said
After Cheng Qinglan agreed, she wanted to hear more about Grandpa Shen's story about her youth, and the old man was also happy to tell her, like telling a story, telling them some things about the past.In the past, Shen's medical clinic was one of the best in the entire Jiangnan area. At that time, not only medical clinics were opened all over Shencheng, but also many clinics were opened in Gusu, so I met Cheng Qinglan's grandfather.
Mr. Shen has been interested in Taoist culture since he was young. Apart from reciting poems and composing Fu with a group of young masters, he travels everywhere and visits masters of Taoism.He is the youngest among his friends, while Grandpa Cheng is older, and Grandpa Cheng has unique insights into Taoism. After getting to know him through friends, Mr. Shen likes to follow him the most.
After the war broke out, many of the Shen family medical clinics were closed, and then fewer and fewer people came to see Chinese medicine practitioners. When Mr. Shen took over, there were only a few in Shencheng left.Later, when encountering civil unrest for ten years, Mr. Shen restrained himself a lot after he got married and practiced medicine.
Regardless of whether it was in the past or now, the status of Shen’s Medical Center in Shencheng has not changed much, and even the Cultural Revolution has not been affected. After all, no matter how rich you are, you cannot guarantee that you will not get sick. I have to ask the Shen family.Especially the well-known families in Shencheng still trust Chinese medicine more, so the Shen family can be regarded as enduring in Shencheng.
Mr. Shen also really liked her when he proposed to marry Grandma Shen, and it took a lot of effort. Grandma Shen was a famous talented female writer in Shanghai when she was young.After marrying Grandpa Shen, she gave birth to a son and a daughter. What surprised Grandpa Shen was that the pair of children had inherited Grandma Shen's artistic talents, and they were insulated from studying medicine.The youngest daughter studied music, and the eldest son studied oil painting. None of them inherited the Shen family's talent for studying medicine, which worried the old man to death.
The Shen family medical school has been passed down for so many years, and it cannot be broken in his own hands. While accepting some disciples with other surnames, he silently pinned his hopes on his future grandchildren.So Mr. Shen paid close attention to the third generation, starting with the matter of his son looking for a partner.He thought that he must not find a daughter-in-law who studies art for his son, but must ensure that he has the gene to study medicine.
Shen Nian's father, Shen Hong, was definitely a flirt when he was young. He also studied medicine with the old man for a while. He also had long hair and would often sneak around the school in Taoist robes. Get it.
When Grandpa Shen heard that his son had found another painter who studied painting, he refused to agree. Both of them studied painting. Can the child born have the gene of studying medicine?Later, I heard that Jiang Yutang's mother was a doctor, and thought that maybe it could be passed down from generation to generation, so I reluctantly agreed to their marriage, and Shen Nian was born.
After Shen Nian was born, Mr. Shen said nothing to let the inconsequential couple take care of the child, and raise him directly by his side. He raised him from an early age, guarding his son and daughter-in-law more than guarding against wolves, lest his granddaughter be taught to be biased, like on art.Of course, he is not unreasonable, Wang Mu let his granddaughter study medicine because Shen Nian has a very high talent in studying medicine.
Listening to Grandpa Shen talking about the past, Cheng Qinglan listened with gusto. She was very satisfied to learn more about the history of the Shen family and Shen Nian's childhood.Speaking of the Qiu family in Gusu, Cheng Qinglan thought of her grandma, and was not sure if it was the same Qiu family that Grandpa Shen was talking about, so she asked the old man whether this description was the same family.There are only a few famous people in Gusu Qiu's family.
Grandpa Shen had met the Qiu family father and son a few times, and they didn't have a deep friendship. I had heard the name of the eldest lady of the Qiu family. When she heard her grandma's name was Qiu Yunshu, Grandpa Shen nodded and said, that's right, it's me The Qiu family mentioned.
He said, "I didn't expect Brother Dao Kang to marry the young lady of the Qiu family, but the relationship between the two families was normal at that time. It is a good destination for your grandma to marry your grandfather." After all, who would dare to occupy the Qiu family's On the other hand, she married far away to Jiangcheng, and lived a quiet life in incognito.This is indeed the case. Few people in Nanhu Town know Grandma Cheng's name. The neighbors with other surnames are called Grandma Cheng's Grandma Cheng, and everyone in the family calls her Second Aunt, Second Aunt, Second Grandma, and Grandma Cheng doesn't mention the past.
Speaking of which, I mentioned Grandpa Cheng's younger brother, that is, Cheng Qinglan's young grandpa. His name was Cheng Daoan. After he joined the army, he changed his name to Cheng Zhendong, whose name was Changtai. The age difference between the two brothers was more than ten years old. Grandpa Shen met him once. When he was still very young, Grandpa Cheng took him to Shanghai to play once.
Suddenly mentioning so many old people, Grandpa Shen is also very sad, they are all such good people, so let's go
"Grandpa Shen, I found two thick notebooks left by grandpa at home. If you are interested, I will bring them to you next time. I am also sorting out and plan to publish them." Seeing that the old man was depressed, Cheng Qinglan mentioned As for this matter, she forgot whether Grandpa Shen was mentioned in those two very thick notebooks for a moment. Presumably, they had such a good relationship.It's just that she didn't know Grandpa Shen's name at the time, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
"Oh? Hearing what you said, I really hope that I can read it right away. Brother Daokang is very talented, and the notes he left must be wonderful. Brother Daokang visited many places in his early years, and I heard that he also left Yang, and later gave up studying because he wanted to support his family business." Mr. Shen heard that there were notes, and confirmed that he was very interested. It is also a kind of thought to be able to see the relics left by his old friends.
"Dad, why don't we go tomorrow and pay homage to Uncle Cheng, as elders we should pay a formal visit to Qing Lan's grandma." Seeing his father's sadness, Shen Hong intentionally cheered him up, and then flattered him and said, "Anyway Yutang and I have retired, and you have nothing else to do for the time being, we just happened to accompany you to the countryside for a walk to relax. There is a smile in the medical clinic at home."
Mr. Shen was a little moved when he heard this, and looked at Cheng Qinglan, as if asking for her opinion.Cheng Qinglan definitely has no objection, the old man agrees that she and Shen Nian are together, even if she is going to the moon, she will accompany her.
She has no objection, but Dr. Shen has an objection, and it is still a very big one. I thought to myself, listen to what you are talking about. People brought me back to Jiangcheng, or left me alone to guard the house.Thinking of this, she couldn't calm down, Shen Nian deliberately coughed a few times to express her protest.
Cheng Qinglan successfully understood the signal from his girlfriend, but dared not agree to Mr. Shen's words.She understood, and of course Jiang Yutang also understood her daughter's protest, she pursed her lips and snickered, and decided to help her after a while, saying, "Dad, Qinglan just came to the house today, so I have to stay for a while no matter what, go Let's talk about Jiangcheng in a few days, right?"
As soon as Mr. Shen heard it, he said, "Just do as you said." He waved his big hand to signal that the meal is ready.
Only then did Shen Nian feel relieved, she was really afraid of her grandpa's uncompromising temper, if she could go to Jiangcheng right away without eating, she didn't want to be left to guard the house at all.
In the evening, Cheng Qinglan managed to stay at Shen's house, and happily followed Shen Nian up to the second floor. Shen Nian's room was on the east side of the second floor, while her parents lived on the west side, separated by the living room and two guest rooms, each forming an independent space.None of the three elders mentioned the room arrangement, Shen Nian generously took him back to his room.
This is also Cheng Qinglan's first time entering Shen Nian's room, and she has never been to the second floor before.The decoration style of Shen Nian's room is simple, mainly in warm tones, and the bedding is also plain, without those fancy patterns, but it is very comfortable, which is similar to Cheng Qinglan's preference.
When Shen Nian went to take a shower, Cheng Qinglan looked at her girlfriend's boudoir, and found the photo album on the table, she thought it was Shen Nian's childhood photos.It doesn't matter if I flip through it, I found that they are all photos of myself when I was a child, and some photos are not even in her home, it is really well preserved.Shen Nian also marked the photos when they were a few years old, and there were photos of them playing in Shanghai a few times.
This photo album is about my growth process, Cheng Qinglan thinks it is so sweet, and thinks my friend is really sweet and salty.After returning to Shencheng, Shen Nian returned to her original aura, speaking and doing things calmly, completely different from when she was in Jiangcheng.
Putting the photo album back to its original place, Cheng Qinglan felt that this was also very good. This kind of Shen Nian was familiar and mysterious, and her lively and lovely side was only shown to herself. All of these were too precious, to be able to be Shen Nian's girlfriend, You are a winner in life.
After taking a shower, Cheng Qinglan rolled around on the bed in satisfaction, but then she thought about it, this is my first visit, so pay attention to my image, in case the auntie hears the voice and thinks we are doing something misunderstood, Immediately restrain your emotions and lie down obediently.
In the end, she wanted to restrain herself, but Dr. Shen disagreed, Shen Nian came back to see her lying there so honestly, rushed over and hugged her and rolled around several times.Cheng Qinglan vaguely reminded a few words, and Shen Nian said nonchalantly, "The sound insulation at home is good, they can't hear it, but I'm not afraid even if they hear it." He said in his heart that he was used to being reckless in Jiangcheng, and he was still not used to it when he came back on the first day. Don't let me be presumptuous when I go back to my room!
After breakfast the next day, Shen Nian had to go to work, she wanted to take Cheng Qinglan to the medical clinic later, anyway, the third floor has a lot of space, let her play on it, and I can go up there to have a look when I have time.In the end, before she could speak, someone had already arranged for her girlfriend.
Grandpa Shen said, "Qing Lan, the calligraphy you gave me yesterday is good, come to the study to practice calligraphy with me later, let's discuss it."
Cheng Qinglan can win the old man's favor, so there is no reason not to agree, what a great opportunity, if the old man is happy, she and Shen Nian can be together more smoothly.
Shen Nian stood by the sofa and remained silent. She usually goes to work on time, but she doesn't want to leave today.
"Qing Lan, you should accompany grandpa to practice calligraphy first. We will go shopping in the mall later. No one has been shopping with me for a long time. It just so happens that you are about to go to work and you need to buy some formal clothes." Jiang Yutang said with a smile
At this time, Shen Hong took the initiative to raise his hand to sign up and said, "I will go too, and I will carry your bags and things for you."
Very good, the whole family has been arranged, I am the only one who is redundant, Shen Nian stood on the edge of the sofa and took a deep breath, thinking that I will lend you my girlfriend for a day first!
Cheng Qinglan sent her out, and Dr. Shen drove to work. He was not in a good mood all the way, don't ask, he just doesn't want to go to work.
Shen Nian was really busy this day, after leaving for so long, her grandfather was not in the clinic, leaving behind a pile of herbal ingredients in and out lists, the clinic's accounts had to be checked, and there were many patients who appointed her to see a doctor.It was already dark outside by the time the work was over.
Driving back home, I saw four people sitting together in the living room, talking and laughing happily.Shen Nian thought to herself that I was the one who went out to work hard to support the family, but when I came home from work all day, there was no one to welcome me.
Seeing her coming back, the four people on the sofa said in unison: "I'm back" and turned to talk about them again.
Shen Nian went upstairs to change clothes silently, Cheng Qinglan was still very discerning, and quickly found her, and when she knocked on the door, Shen Nian just stood at the door of the room and looked at her, how pitiful it was, Cheng Qinglan It was so sad to be looked at by her, and I felt like a heartless person.
"What's the matter?" Cheng Qinglan squeezed into the room, closed the door, and asked, holding him in his arms.
Shen Nian didn't speak while being hugged, and just leaned on her body weight, with his chin resting lightly on her shoulder.I thought that her embrace was very healing, and I didn't seem so unhappy anymore.Just hugged quietly for a while, and then happily went downstairs hand in hand.
At night, when they packed up and lay on the bed, Shen Nian said, "Maomao, you can go to the medical center with me tomorrow, the third floor has a lot of space, you stay upstairs to play, and go up to accompany you when I am busy. Or I will let Wan Qing Go upstairs to play with you. After work, we will go back to the apartment together." Shen Nian thought very well, thinking that in this way they could have more chances to get along.She didn't want to go out pitifully by herself, it was somewhat inconvenient to live at home with elders around.
After listening to Shen Nian's words, Cheng Qinglan didn't know what to do for a moment, she always felt that the next words would be thunderous and Shen Nian would be upset.Today she promised Grandpa Shen that she would practice calligraphy with him for the next week.Tomorrow there will be an art exchange meeting in Shencheng, and she agreed to attend with her aunt and uncle, mainly because she wants to go and see it herself.There was a small Chinese painting exhibition in Shanghai the day after tomorrow, and my aunt made an appointment to let her go there.The day after tomorrow, my aunt said she would take her to Wu Di's house to see their wedding room. The time was fixed with Wu Di's sister, and the day after tomorrow, my aunt said she would take her to see Shen Nian's grandmother, the day after tomorrow. . .In short, it is booked for a week.
What Cheng Qinglan thought when she agreed was that Shen Nian was going to work during the day anyway, so she couldn't worry about it, and following her would make her look immature, and she was idle at home, so she agreed.She and Shen Nian can still be together at night.Unexpectedly, it turned out that Shen Nian wanted to accompany her to work.
After thinking about the words, Cheng Qinglan still told Shen Nian about these arrangements. After hearing this, Shen Nian was really dissatisfied, thinking that you are my girlfriend, or my mother's girlfriend, and spend more time with her than me.I was very generous when my girlfriend lent me out for a day, but I actually set a whole week.Thinking about it, he was unhappy, turned over and ignored her, and turned his back to Cheng Qinglan awkwardly.
Cheng Qinglan knew that she was angry, and she must be coaxed. She wanted to turn her over, but failed several times.This little brat was playing majestic and majestic, and felt that her angry back was pitiful and cute. After thinking about it, she coaxed, "I have already promised my elders, so I don't want to go back on my word. Is this good? Accompany them out, I will go to work with you, we will go together in the morning, I will cook for you upstairs at noon, and we will go home together in the evening"
Shen Nian should be quite satisfied after listening, and finally turned around, but still didn't speak.
"Oh, I was wrong! Don't be angry, okay, being with anyone is not as important as being with your girlfriend. Before, I was afraid that going to the medical clinic would disturb your work, and I was also afraid that you would think I was clingy." Cheng Qinglan took the initiative to admit his mistake and coax others.
"Then remember to tell my mother tomorrow." Shen Nian knew his mother too well, so in order to avoid being preempted by her again, he had better get a vaccination in advance.Of course, my mother helped me before, so let's just stay with her these few days.
After the two reached a consensus, the reconciliation was as good as before. Dr. Shen knew how to use tactics, hit a stick and then give a date, and if he lost his temper in front, he would hug him and coax him again.
On the day of the exchange meeting, Cheng Qinglan saw that the time was still early at the end, so she took a taxi directly to the medical center and packed some egg waffles on the way. When she entered, Shen Nian happened to be on the first floor, her eyes lit up when she came in, she was obviously very surprised.Cheng Qinglan felt that her girlfriend was so cute and coaxable, and she was satisfied to see her for herself.Shen Nian came over and took her hand naturally, and led her up to the third floor, Wan Qing watched in amazement from downstairs.
Not seeing him for a long time, Shen Nian brought him upstairs, closed the door and first hugged him for a kiss, and only let him go when he was exhausted.Seeing that she took the initiative to come to find him, Shen Nian was really pleasantly surprised.People who don't usually eat sweets, but how can the girlfriend feed them the same, anyway, she is very happy to eat the egg waffles Cheng Qinglan handed over.
The two stayed upstairs for a long time and didn't come out, Wan Qing felt that the senior sister had really fallen.Some time ago, she added Shen Nian's WeChat, and watched several times showing her affection. Wan Qing felt that love divided people, and even a calm senior sister could not escape.She has not yet adapted to the other side of the senior sister.
In the evening, the two of them walked into the house holding hands, and someone picked him up from get off work. Shen Nian gave people a different feeling, he still had an expressionless face, as if he had just returned from a victorious battle somewhere.
Wu Di’s wedding room was bought in the Disney area. It’s a cozy third bedroom. It’s been decorated. There are a lot of wedding photos in the house. I heard that the wedding date has also been set. It’s during the National Day, and the weather is neither too cold nor too hot to wear a wedding dress.Wu Di's girlfriend went back to her hometown, but she wasn't in Shanghai, so I didn't see her.Anyway, Wu Di's mother is very satisfied, Xixi is long, and Xixi is short.
At this time, the topic came up about why Wu Di’s little girlfriend was willing to get married so early, and Wu Di’s mother said proudly, “Sisi said, now that she has obtained a marriage certificate, she will be able to give birth to Wu Di’s baby when she graduates from her senior year just one year later, Sisi. He also said that our Wu Di is getting old, so it is not easy to delay..." He said with a look of joy and complacency.
Hearing this made Jiang Yutang sour, I thought you should show it, show it every day.Opening your mouth is Xixi said, people call "Mom said" every day Mabao, you don't know what it is called!After being sour, I am envious. Wu Di is the same age as Shen Nian, and he is the first to find a girlfriend. Marriage is also the first to be married. If there are children in the future, they will still be in front of their family.With her own daughter's meek nature, she coaxed her girlfriend only after she got engaged, and she didn't know when she would be able to hug her granddaughter.
When the two elders went to the kitchen, Wu Di said to Cheng Qinglan dumbfounded, "See? I am tortured by them every day. They didn't do this when they met before. They used to talk about calligraphy and painting together, and talk about life like a professor who is very gentle." .When we meet now, one Xixi said, and the other Qinglan from our family."
"Do you think my mother is too showy? Let me tell you, Aunt Jiang is usually more than my mother. How about Qinglan from our family in front of my mother? Or just talk about the origin of your two families." , my mother is a person who believes in fate. She usually likes to watch constellations. She envies people with romantic stories, so every time she hears Aunt Jiang talk about these things, she becomes impatient. If there is, how sensational and romantic it will be at the wedding in the future. Recently, Aunt Jiang has provoked me so much that she asked me to make up some adventures with Xixi, so that I can talk about it at the wedding." Speaking of the elders , Wu Dizhen. . .
Cheng Qinglan sympathizes with Wu Di very much, and thinks the two old professors are so cute. Sitting together for nothing to bicker enriches retirement life. After stimulating each other, the next time they meet, they will be affectionate and affectionate, like two children who are not willing to admit defeat. It does not affect the relationship at all. .Of course, she also took Wu Di's mother's words into her heart and had her own plans.
When Cheng Qinglan went to see Shen Nian's grandmother, Shen Nian also went with them, after all, it was considered to be meeting the parents.Shen Nian's grandfather suffered from dementia many years ago and couldn't remember who he was.Grandma accompanied grandpa to live in a nursing home in the suburbs. They lived there when they moved back from Jiangcheng. They usually refused to ask Jiang Yutang to help, and took care of it by themselves.
Grandma Yang dresses very decently and elegantly. If you look closely, you can see that Jiang Yutang looks very similar to her. The old lady is very easy to get along with. When she sees Cheng Qinglan, she pulls her to her side. She is very kind and always praises her for how good she looks. It doesn't look like it did when I was a child.The old lady was very pleased to see that the little baby she delivered back then grew up to be the granddaughter of an old friend and the granddaughter-in-law in the end.
Grandma Yang has actually been to Jiangcheng several times to see Grandma Cheng in the past few years. Cheng Qinglan was not at home at the time, so this was the first time they met in such a long time.The old lady withdrew two jade bracelets from her hands, gave one to Shen Nian and Cheng Qinglan, and said with a smile that they were just a pair, and grandma would like to show her some kindness.Before leaving, he took care of them again and again to let them get along well.After they left, the old lady called Grandma Cheng excitedly. Anyway, she was satisfied with everything. The two talked from when it was suitable for marriage to what the child's name would be in the future.
49. Accompanying
Shen Nian is really very busy, busy with medical office affairs during the day, and has banquets to attend at night.Mr. Shen has officially handed over the medical clinic, including the Shen family's connections in Shencheng to Shen Nian.
Before this, the grandfather and grandson had a long talk. Shen Nian had different ideas about the future development of the clinic. These ideas were not mature before, so he never mentioned them to his grandfather.After years of careful consideration.She decided to talk to her grandfather about her plan.
Shen Nian had completely different ideas from his grandfather and even his grandparents. The grandparents had guarded the signboard of the Shen's Medical Center for two or three hundred years, not recruiting disciples with foreign surnames, and even refused to pass on their medical skills to the disciples of their own branches. This also indirectly caused the Shen's Medical Center to The influence is limited, and at its peak, it only had influence in the Jiangnan area.
For nearly a hundred years, the Shen family has lived in Shencheng steadily, and the people who seek treatment from the Shen family are all famous families in Shencheng. The Shen family medical clinic has become a private medical clinic for dignitaries to a certain extent.Although the revenue of the Shen's Medical Center is considerable, the Shen family is not short of money.There's nothing wrong with keeping it that way.
But compared to running a medical clinic, Shen Nian paid more attention to promoting the culture of traditional Chinese medicine, and wanted to contribute to the inheritance of traditional Chinese medical skills.
She thinks it doesn't matter if it hangs Shen's signboard or not!Although it is said that the medical center is more open-minded when it is passed on to Mr. Shen, and is willing to accept disciples with other surnames, but in Shen Nian's opinion, it is far from enough.The only way to expand the influence of traditional Chinese medicine is to abandon the idea of discipleship and recruit more apprentices, cultivate more talents of traditional Chinese medicine, and open more traditional Chinese medicine clinics.She wants to break the rule of using Shen's name for medical clinics, unite with families of traditional Chinese medicine from all over the world, and work together to let the common people regain their confidence in traditional Chinese medicine.
In the operation of medical centers, it is also necessary to adapt to the development of the times, change the traditional rules, and meet the treatment needs of different groups.Shen Nian told Mr. Shen that she plans to provide online reservations for decoction and access to takeaway delivery, which can not only guarantee the quality of the medicine, but also provide convenience for busy young people.
In the future, we will go to schools to spread the culture of traditional Chinese medicine to students. Only by letting young people know and accept traditional Chinese medicine is the foundation of inheritance.
After all, young people represent the future. If they don’t do anything, there may be a gap in the audience of Chinese medicine. If no patients come to you for medical treatment, it will be difficult to survive even if you talk about development.
Is it really going to be reduced to the point where when it comes to Chinese medicine, you only know about health care?
After hearing this, Mr. Shen was silent for a long time. On the one hand, he was very pleased that his granddaughter had such ambitions and aspirations, and he was proud of her. At the same time, he was ashamed. The ruin is in my own hands, not as far-sighted as my granddaughter thinks, because I am too small.
In the end, Mr. Shen said earnestly, "Grandpa supports your decision. You can go ahead and do it. If you need grandpa, just mention it! Shen Yun, the Shen family will depend on you in the end, and the fate of Chinese medicine depends on your generation."
Mr. Shen originally wanted to talk to his granddaughter and planned to hand over power formally. After hearing what she said, he didn't have any worries.
Although the Shen family practiced medicine and did not have much contact with business, the Shen family has been rooted in the south of the Yangtze River for two or three hundred years, and has long been inextricably linked with all walks of life in Shanghai.Shen Nian has long taken over the management of the medical clinic, but these connections have always been maintained by Mr. Shen in the past.It was before that the old man felt that the time was not ripe enough, and he didn't want Shen Nian to be burdened by socializing too early.
Now that the third generation successors of these big families have taken over one after another, it is the alternation of power between the old and the new. The old man deliberately took the opportunity to hand over the connections of the Shen family to Shen Nian, allowing her to do what she wanted to do as the head of the Shen family.
Shen Nian is not that resistant to socializing, Grandpa said that it is not enough to just treat people, socializing is also very important.What to do now can leave the background relationship.These big families in Shencheng are willing to make friends with the Shen family, why not because of the Shen family's intricate and powerful relationship network, because the Shen family is the easiest to get in touch with the big names in Shencheng.
When Grandpa Shen was not in Shanghai before, Shen Nian also attended such occasions, it was just entertainment, so
Jiang Yutang said bluntly, "Dad, please calm down first, your granddaughter has gone to work, and it's not that she is not doing business." Shen Hong also helped to prove that the couple wanted to speak well for their daughter.
The old man said angrily, "What is she doing, what is more important than the medical clinic?"
"I went after your granddaughter-in-law."
The old man became even more angry when he heard it, "What grandson-in-law? Who has to let my granddaughter chase after him! Why are boys so blind now?"
Jiang Yutang knew that he had misheard, and added, "You misunderstood, it's the girl you're chasing, your granddaughter-in-law, so you can understand?"
Mr. Shen stared wide-eyed and asked, "What girl? Where did the girl come from?"
"Oh, you have seen it too, and adjusted her body, Qing Lan, do you remember?"
"It's her? How old is that little girl? No way! I don't agree with this!" The old man's attitude was very firm, thinking that the little girl is so tender, her granddaughter should not be a child to coax her.He imagined that the granddaughter object must be able to help the granddaughter a little bit.How can I find a smaller one? If I can’t help you, can my granddaughter concentrate on running the clinic?
"Look how much you worry about being parents. When I saw the two of you, I felt really worried. You are so hasty about your daughter's life, and I, a grandfather, have to worry about it." After finishing speaking, the old man walked away angrily with his hands behind his back
Leaving the couple face to face.My heart said that we were in our fifties, and we were almost able to be grandparents, but we were still scolded by the old man, so we didn't worry about it. Fortunately, no one else was around, so we don't want to lose face!After a while, the couple began to worry about their daughter again, thinking that this is a tough battle to fight!It's not easy for the old man. As people who have experienced it, they recalled that when they first got together, the old man scolded him much more harshly than now.
Shen Nian and the others returned to Shencheng and went straight home. As soon as Cheng Qinglan entered the door, she was warmly welcomed by Jiang Yutang and his wife. She was satisfied no matter how she looked at it.Shen Nian didn't care, and carried the gift to the living room.
After entering the room, Cheng Qinglan presented Jiang Yutang with a gift, and soon after, Mr. Shen also came out of the study room. When he saw Cheng Qinglan, he was taken aback for a moment before sitting down on the sofa with a heavy face.The appearance of Xin Dao has changed a lot, it is better to adjust her by myself, it seems that the effect is good.The appearance looks more mature and familiar, but I can't remember who it looks like, and that doesn't change the fact that I'm 8 years younger than my granddaughter, so I'm still not satisfied.
Cheng Qinglan called out respectfully, and Mr. Shen gave a lukewarm hum.
Cheng Qinglan deeply felt that the old man was having a difficult time, but then there was an unexpected scene, which made everyone unexpected.It starts with the gift prepared by Cheng Qinglan.
The gift she prepared was also thoughtful. It was packed in a very elegant wooden box, with calligraphy written by her, and a portrait of Mr. Shen. , but also a soft-hearted person, good is good.Disagree with disagreement, does not affect his appreciation of the gift.The box that was finally opened contained a medical book, which could be seen to be quite old at first glance, the old man was very cautious, carefully took it out and held it in his hand to read.
This book is indeed precious, and it is in such good condition.There are only a few medical books from this period, and all of them are stored in museums. The old man thought to himself, this little girl gave it away, and this book could buy a house if it is auctioned off.I can't help but examine whether the little girl knows the true value of books.
Although he loves this book, he is not a person who is greedy for money and takes advantage of others.
Cheng Qinglan saw what he was thinking, and respectfully explained the reason for sending the book. This medical book was accidentally obtained by Grandpa Cheng. There were originally three books in the family collection, but two were lost during the war, and the remaining one was kept at home. There are too many books. Forget it at the bottom.No one in their family studied medicine, and it was of no value to keep it. Thinking that the Shen family could use it, so giving it to the old man was considered to make the best use of it and let it play its due value.Grandma Cheng also thought it was appropriate.
At first, Cheng Qinglan planned to send Shen Nian off, they were not together at that time, and they simply didn't want the medical books to be dusty.Later, Shen Nian went to the research institute and had no chance to send it out.Before coming here this time, she thought it would be the most suitable gift for Grandpa Shen, so she copied two copies by hand and gave one to Shen Nian.The other one is given to the old man along with the original version. It is more casual to browse through the manuscript, while the original version can be used for collection, and it is also very thoughtful.
"Here, who are you, Cheng Daokang?" After listening to what she said, the old man was closing the medical book in his hand when he saw the seal on the title page. It was a plum blossom-shaped seal. It was a book collection stamp, very small. Be careful not to be conspicuous.Mr. Shen thought this chapter was very familiar at first, and then looked at the name carefully, and he was even more surprised. It was the name of a very good friend when he was young. Just looking at the name alone, there may be duplicate names, but this chapter is absolutely impossible to admit a mistake. This chapter Or he gave it to a friend back then.So he asked aloud, and his voice was raised a lot!
Several people on the sofa were taken aback by Mr. Shen's state, and so was Cheng Qinglan, wondering what was wrong with Mr. Shen, and were taken aback.Thinking of this, he still replied, "It's my grandpa."
After finishing speaking, I feel that this scene is so familiar. When the old man asked her about her relationship with the uncle, it seemed to be the same tone, didn't it?It can't be such a coincidence!Does Grandpa Shen still know my grandfather?I also feel that it is impossible, and I have never heard anyone in my family mention it.
Shen Nian and her parents also looked at the old man strangely, not knowing what the specific situation was, but they all had a vague guess.
Mr. Shen stared at the little girl in front of him, trying to find traces of his old friend from her. She didn't look much alike, but looked a little like her, and she spoke and acted alike.When Master Shen saw her, he couldn't help but miss his best friend whom he hadn't seen in half a world, and suddenly remembered that his daughter-in-law mentioned the little girl's life experience before, saying that her parents and grandfather passed away on the same day.
Old Man Shen felt a pain in his heart, the joy of getting news from his old friend was gone, and the only thing left was sadness.There was a moment of sadness and joy, and it was too unexpected that the little girl in front of him would be the granddaughter of brother Daokang.
Being stared at by the old man, Cheng Qinglan was a little at a loss, and asked uncertainly, "Grandpa Shen, do you know my grandfather?"
The old man came back to his senses and sighed, "It's not just acquaintance. Brother Dao Kang and I were close friends when we were young. Brother Dao Kang was talented and handsome. When he was young, he often came to Shanghai and Gusu. I met him through friends." We knew each other and became close friends at the first sight. At that time, he had a good relationship with the Qiu family in Gusu. Every time I went to the Qiu family, he would come to Shanghai to meet me. Most of us came from a scholarly family. Although Brother Dao Kang is from a landlord family, But the literary talent is outstanding, and we hit it off very well.
Later, he lost contact during the war, and at first he was able to occasionally inquire about his safety from his friends in Suzhou.And then catch up with the Cultural Revolution, alas!The Qiu family in Gusu was turned into ashes overnight. At that time, everyone was afraid of being implicated. A group of friends had no contact with each other, and they didn't want to hear any news about their old friends. . .The old man burst into tears when he said this, feeling depressed
Seeing the old man like this, Cheng Qinglan was also a little sad. She never thought that there would be such past events. Grandpa Shen and grandpa were friends.
The family of three sitting next to them was dumbfounded, the world is so small, if they didn't hear it with their own ears, they wouldn't believe it was true.Thinking of this time being more kisses and more kisses, Jiang Yutang thought in her heart that the old man should agree this time.This old man is the most protective, he misses his old friend so deeply, so he has to protect his granddaughter no matter what.
Jiang Yutang remembered that the old man had just mentioned the Qiu family in Gusu. The little girl's grandmother was not named Qiu, but also from Gusu, and she and her mother were close friends in the boudoir.God, what a coincidence!It is uncertain what relationship the old man has with the Qiu family.
"I really didn't expect you to be the granddaughter of Brother Dao Kang. I am very pleased to see you, but one size counts for one size. If you two want to be together, I don't object for the time being. I think it's useless to object. You will still Stay together. Look at your performance, you haven't officially worked yet, you have to work hard, otherwise, if you want to go further and get married, I will not agree, and this will not change just because you are the granddaughter of Daokang brother." Mr. Shen's attitude is soft Many, and the tone is much gentler.
It was a big concession for the old man to say that, and Cheng Qinglan couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, at least he didn't throw her out.The old man accepted the gift and praised her for her good drawing.Cheng Qinglan thought to herself that thanks to the kindness left by her grandfather, this book was a perfect gift and worth it.
Shen Nian had planned to stand up to defend her when her grandfather was cold-hearted towards Cheng Qinglan, but Cheng Qinglan secretly pressed her hand to prevent her from moving.This will lift the crisis, and the two of them held hands tightly and never let go.
48. The past of the Shen family
"When you go back to Jiangcheng this time, I'll be with you. I'm going to pay homage to Brother Changkang." Mr. Shen looked at Cheng Qinglan sadly and said
After Cheng Qinglan agreed, she wanted to hear more about Grandpa Shen's story about her youth, and the old man was also happy to tell her, like telling a story, telling them some things about the past.In the past, Shen's medical clinic was one of the best in the entire Jiangnan area. At that time, not only medical clinics were opened all over Shencheng, but also many clinics were opened in Gusu, so I met Cheng Qinglan's grandfather.
Mr. Shen has been interested in Taoist culture since he was young. Apart from reciting poems and composing Fu with a group of young masters, he travels everywhere and visits masters of Taoism.He is the youngest among his friends, while Grandpa Cheng is older, and Grandpa Cheng has unique insights into Taoism. After getting to know him through friends, Mr. Shen likes to follow him the most.
After the war broke out, many of the Shen family medical clinics were closed, and then fewer and fewer people came to see Chinese medicine practitioners. When Mr. Shen took over, there were only a few in Shencheng left.Later, when encountering civil unrest for ten years, Mr. Shen restrained himself a lot after he got married and practiced medicine.
Regardless of whether it was in the past or now, the status of Shen’s Medical Center in Shencheng has not changed much, and even the Cultural Revolution has not been affected. After all, no matter how rich you are, you cannot guarantee that you will not get sick. I have to ask the Shen family.Especially the well-known families in Shencheng still trust Chinese medicine more, so the Shen family can be regarded as enduring in Shencheng.
Mr. Shen also really liked her when he proposed to marry Grandma Shen, and it took a lot of effort. Grandma Shen was a famous talented female writer in Shanghai when she was young.After marrying Grandpa Shen, she gave birth to a son and a daughter. What surprised Grandpa Shen was that the pair of children had inherited Grandma Shen's artistic talents, and they were insulated from studying medicine.The youngest daughter studied music, and the eldest son studied oil painting. None of them inherited the Shen family's talent for studying medicine, which worried the old man to death.
The Shen family medical school has been passed down for so many years, and it cannot be broken in his own hands. While accepting some disciples with other surnames, he silently pinned his hopes on his future grandchildren.So Mr. Shen paid close attention to the third generation, starting with the matter of his son looking for a partner.He thought that he must not find a daughter-in-law who studies art for his son, but must ensure that he has the gene to study medicine.
Shen Nian's father, Shen Hong, was definitely a flirt when he was young. He also studied medicine with the old man for a while. He also had long hair and would often sneak around the school in Taoist robes. Get it.
When Grandpa Shen heard that his son had found another painter who studied painting, he refused to agree. Both of them studied painting. Can the child born have the gene of studying medicine?Later, I heard that Jiang Yutang's mother was a doctor, and thought that maybe it could be passed down from generation to generation, so I reluctantly agreed to their marriage, and Shen Nian was born.
After Shen Nian was born, Mr. Shen said nothing to let the inconsequential couple take care of the child, and raise him directly by his side. He raised him from an early age, guarding his son and daughter-in-law more than guarding against wolves, lest his granddaughter be taught to be biased, like on art.Of course, he is not unreasonable, Wang Mu let his granddaughter study medicine because Shen Nian has a very high talent in studying medicine.
Listening to Grandpa Shen talking about the past, Cheng Qinglan listened with gusto. She was very satisfied to learn more about the history of the Shen family and Shen Nian's childhood.Speaking of the Qiu family in Gusu, Cheng Qinglan thought of her grandma, and was not sure if it was the same Qiu family that Grandpa Shen was talking about, so she asked the old man whether this description was the same family.There are only a few famous people in Gusu Qiu's family.
Grandpa Shen had met the Qiu family father and son a few times, and they didn't have a deep friendship. I had heard the name of the eldest lady of the Qiu family. When she heard her grandma's name was Qiu Yunshu, Grandpa Shen nodded and said, that's right, it's me The Qiu family mentioned.
He said, "I didn't expect Brother Dao Kang to marry the young lady of the Qiu family, but the relationship between the two families was normal at that time. It is a good destination for your grandma to marry your grandfather." After all, who would dare to occupy the Qiu family's On the other hand, she married far away to Jiangcheng, and lived a quiet life in incognito.This is indeed the case. Few people in Nanhu Town know Grandma Cheng's name. The neighbors with other surnames are called Grandma Cheng's Grandma Cheng, and everyone in the family calls her Second Aunt, Second Aunt, Second Grandma, and Grandma Cheng doesn't mention the past.
Speaking of which, I mentioned Grandpa Cheng's younger brother, that is, Cheng Qinglan's young grandpa. His name was Cheng Daoan. After he joined the army, he changed his name to Cheng Zhendong, whose name was Changtai. The age difference between the two brothers was more than ten years old. Grandpa Shen met him once. When he was still very young, Grandpa Cheng took him to Shanghai to play once.
Suddenly mentioning so many old people, Grandpa Shen is also very sad, they are all such good people, so let's go
"Grandpa Shen, I found two thick notebooks left by grandpa at home. If you are interested, I will bring them to you next time. I am also sorting out and plan to publish them." Seeing that the old man was depressed, Cheng Qinglan mentioned As for this matter, she forgot whether Grandpa Shen was mentioned in those two very thick notebooks for a moment. Presumably, they had such a good relationship.It's just that she didn't know Grandpa Shen's name at the time, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
"Oh? Hearing what you said, I really hope that I can read it right away. Brother Daokang is very talented, and the notes he left must be wonderful. Brother Daokang visited many places in his early years, and I heard that he also left Yang, and later gave up studying because he wanted to support his family business." Mr. Shen heard that there were notes, and confirmed that he was very interested. It is also a kind of thought to be able to see the relics left by his old friends.
"Dad, why don't we go tomorrow and pay homage to Uncle Cheng, as elders we should pay a formal visit to Qing Lan's grandma." Seeing his father's sadness, Shen Hong intentionally cheered him up, and then flattered him and said, "Anyway Yutang and I have retired, and you have nothing else to do for the time being, we just happened to accompany you to the countryside for a walk to relax. There is a smile in the medical clinic at home."
Mr. Shen was a little moved when he heard this, and looked at Cheng Qinglan, as if asking for her opinion.Cheng Qinglan definitely has no objection, the old man agrees that she and Shen Nian are together, even if she is going to the moon, she will accompany her.
She has no objection, but Dr. Shen has an objection, and it is still a very big one. I thought to myself, listen to what you are talking about. People brought me back to Jiangcheng, or left me alone to guard the house.Thinking of this, she couldn't calm down, Shen Nian deliberately coughed a few times to express her protest.
Cheng Qinglan successfully understood the signal from his girlfriend, but dared not agree to Mr. Shen's words.She understood, and of course Jiang Yutang also understood her daughter's protest, she pursed her lips and snickered, and decided to help her after a while, saying, "Dad, Qinglan just came to the house today, so I have to stay for a while no matter what, go Let's talk about Jiangcheng in a few days, right?"
As soon as Mr. Shen heard it, he said, "Just do as you said." He waved his big hand to signal that the meal is ready.
Only then did Shen Nian feel relieved, she was really afraid of her grandpa's uncompromising temper, if she could go to Jiangcheng right away without eating, she didn't want to be left to guard the house at all.
In the evening, Cheng Qinglan managed to stay at Shen's house, and happily followed Shen Nian up to the second floor. Shen Nian's room was on the east side of the second floor, while her parents lived on the west side, separated by the living room and two guest rooms, each forming an independent space.None of the three elders mentioned the room arrangement, Shen Nian generously took him back to his room.
This is also Cheng Qinglan's first time entering Shen Nian's room, and she has never been to the second floor before.The decoration style of Shen Nian's room is simple, mainly in warm tones, and the bedding is also plain, without those fancy patterns, but it is very comfortable, which is similar to Cheng Qinglan's preference.
When Shen Nian went to take a shower, Cheng Qinglan looked at her girlfriend's boudoir, and found the photo album on the table, she thought it was Shen Nian's childhood photos.It doesn't matter if I flip through it, I found that they are all photos of myself when I was a child, and some photos are not even in her home, it is really well preserved.Shen Nian also marked the photos when they were a few years old, and there were photos of them playing in Shanghai a few times.
This photo album is about my growth process, Cheng Qinglan thinks it is so sweet, and thinks my friend is really sweet and salty.After returning to Shencheng, Shen Nian returned to her original aura, speaking and doing things calmly, completely different from when she was in Jiangcheng.
Putting the photo album back to its original place, Cheng Qinglan felt that this was also very good. This kind of Shen Nian was familiar and mysterious, and her lively and lovely side was only shown to herself. All of these were too precious, to be able to be Shen Nian's girlfriend, You are a winner in life.
After taking a shower, Cheng Qinglan rolled around on the bed in satisfaction, but then she thought about it, this is my first visit, so pay attention to my image, in case the auntie hears the voice and thinks we are doing something misunderstood, Immediately restrain your emotions and lie down obediently.
In the end, she wanted to restrain herself, but Dr. Shen disagreed, Shen Nian came back to see her lying there so honestly, rushed over and hugged her and rolled around several times.Cheng Qinglan vaguely reminded a few words, and Shen Nian said nonchalantly, "The sound insulation at home is good, they can't hear it, but I'm not afraid even if they hear it." He said in his heart that he was used to being reckless in Jiangcheng, and he was still not used to it when he came back on the first day. Don't let me be presumptuous when I go back to my room!
After breakfast the next day, Shen Nian had to go to work, she wanted to take Cheng Qinglan to the medical clinic later, anyway, the third floor has a lot of space, let her play on it, and I can go up there to have a look when I have time.In the end, before she could speak, someone had already arranged for her girlfriend.
Grandpa Shen said, "Qing Lan, the calligraphy you gave me yesterday is good, come to the study to practice calligraphy with me later, let's discuss it."
Cheng Qinglan can win the old man's favor, so there is no reason not to agree, what a great opportunity, if the old man is happy, she and Shen Nian can be together more smoothly.
Shen Nian stood by the sofa and remained silent. She usually goes to work on time, but she doesn't want to leave today.
"Qing Lan, you should accompany grandpa to practice calligraphy first. We will go shopping in the mall later. No one has been shopping with me for a long time. It just so happens that you are about to go to work and you need to buy some formal clothes." Jiang Yutang said with a smile
At this time, Shen Hong took the initiative to raise his hand to sign up and said, "I will go too, and I will carry your bags and things for you."
Very good, the whole family has been arranged, I am the only one who is redundant, Shen Nian stood on the edge of the sofa and took a deep breath, thinking that I will lend you my girlfriend for a day first!
Cheng Qinglan sent her out, and Dr. Shen drove to work. He was not in a good mood all the way, don't ask, he just doesn't want to go to work.
Shen Nian was really busy this day, after leaving for so long, her grandfather was not in the clinic, leaving behind a pile of herbal ingredients in and out lists, the clinic's accounts had to be checked, and there were many patients who appointed her to see a doctor.It was already dark outside by the time the work was over.
Driving back home, I saw four people sitting together in the living room, talking and laughing happily.Shen Nian thought to herself that I was the one who went out to work hard to support the family, but when I came home from work all day, there was no one to welcome me.
Seeing her coming back, the four people on the sofa said in unison: "I'm back" and turned to talk about them again.
Shen Nian went upstairs to change clothes silently, Cheng Qinglan was still very discerning, and quickly found her, and when she knocked on the door, Shen Nian just stood at the door of the room and looked at her, how pitiful it was, Cheng Qinglan It was so sad to be looked at by her, and I felt like a heartless person.
"What's the matter?" Cheng Qinglan squeezed into the room, closed the door, and asked, holding him in his arms.
Shen Nian didn't speak while being hugged, and just leaned on her body weight, with his chin resting lightly on her shoulder.I thought that her embrace was very healing, and I didn't seem so unhappy anymore.Just hugged quietly for a while, and then happily went downstairs hand in hand.
At night, when they packed up and lay on the bed, Shen Nian said, "Maomao, you can go to the medical center with me tomorrow, the third floor has a lot of space, you stay upstairs to play, and go up to accompany you when I am busy. Or I will let Wan Qing Go upstairs to play with you. After work, we will go back to the apartment together." Shen Nian thought very well, thinking that in this way they could have more chances to get along.She didn't want to go out pitifully by herself, it was somewhat inconvenient to live at home with elders around.
After listening to Shen Nian's words, Cheng Qinglan didn't know what to do for a moment, she always felt that the next words would be thunderous and Shen Nian would be upset.Today she promised Grandpa Shen that she would practice calligraphy with him for the next week.Tomorrow there will be an art exchange meeting in Shencheng, and she agreed to attend with her aunt and uncle, mainly because she wants to go and see it herself.There was a small Chinese painting exhibition in Shanghai the day after tomorrow, and my aunt made an appointment to let her go there.The day after tomorrow, my aunt said she would take her to Wu Di's house to see their wedding room. The time was fixed with Wu Di's sister, and the day after tomorrow, my aunt said she would take her to see Shen Nian's grandmother, the day after tomorrow. . .In short, it is booked for a week.
What Cheng Qinglan thought when she agreed was that Shen Nian was going to work during the day anyway, so she couldn't worry about it, and following her would make her look immature, and she was idle at home, so she agreed.She and Shen Nian can still be together at night.Unexpectedly, it turned out that Shen Nian wanted to accompany her to work.
After thinking about the words, Cheng Qinglan still told Shen Nian about these arrangements. After hearing this, Shen Nian was really dissatisfied, thinking that you are my girlfriend, or my mother's girlfriend, and spend more time with her than me.I was very generous when my girlfriend lent me out for a day, but I actually set a whole week.Thinking about it, he was unhappy, turned over and ignored her, and turned his back to Cheng Qinglan awkwardly.
Cheng Qinglan knew that she was angry, and she must be coaxed. She wanted to turn her over, but failed several times.This little brat was playing majestic and majestic, and felt that her angry back was pitiful and cute. After thinking about it, she coaxed, "I have already promised my elders, so I don't want to go back on my word. Is this good? Accompany them out, I will go to work with you, we will go together in the morning, I will cook for you upstairs at noon, and we will go home together in the evening"
Shen Nian should be quite satisfied after listening, and finally turned around, but still didn't speak.
"Oh, I was wrong! Don't be angry, okay, being with anyone is not as important as being with your girlfriend. Before, I was afraid that going to the medical clinic would disturb your work, and I was also afraid that you would think I was clingy." Cheng Qinglan took the initiative to admit his mistake and coax others.
"Then remember to tell my mother tomorrow." Shen Nian knew his mother too well, so in order to avoid being preempted by her again, he had better get a vaccination in advance.Of course, my mother helped me before, so let's just stay with her these few days.
After the two reached a consensus, the reconciliation was as good as before. Dr. Shen knew how to use tactics, hit a stick and then give a date, and if he lost his temper in front, he would hug him and coax him again.
On the day of the exchange meeting, Cheng Qinglan saw that the time was still early at the end, so she took a taxi directly to the medical center and packed some egg waffles on the way. When she entered, Shen Nian happened to be on the first floor, her eyes lit up when she came in, she was obviously very surprised.Cheng Qinglan felt that her girlfriend was so cute and coaxable, and she was satisfied to see her for herself.Shen Nian came over and took her hand naturally, and led her up to the third floor, Wan Qing watched in amazement from downstairs.
Not seeing him for a long time, Shen Nian brought him upstairs, closed the door and first hugged him for a kiss, and only let him go when he was exhausted.Seeing that she took the initiative to come to find him, Shen Nian was really pleasantly surprised.People who don't usually eat sweets, but how can the girlfriend feed them the same, anyway, she is very happy to eat the egg waffles Cheng Qinglan handed over.
The two stayed upstairs for a long time and didn't come out, Wan Qing felt that the senior sister had really fallen.Some time ago, she added Shen Nian's WeChat, and watched several times showing her affection. Wan Qing felt that love divided people, and even a calm senior sister could not escape.She has not yet adapted to the other side of the senior sister.
In the evening, the two of them walked into the house holding hands, and someone picked him up from get off work. Shen Nian gave people a different feeling, he still had an expressionless face, as if he had just returned from a victorious battle somewhere.
Wu Di’s wedding room was bought in the Disney area. It’s a cozy third bedroom. It’s been decorated. There are a lot of wedding photos in the house. I heard that the wedding date has also been set. It’s during the National Day, and the weather is neither too cold nor too hot to wear a wedding dress.Wu Di's girlfriend went back to her hometown, but she wasn't in Shanghai, so I didn't see her.Anyway, Wu Di's mother is very satisfied, Xixi is long, and Xixi is short.
At this time, the topic came up about why Wu Di’s little girlfriend was willing to get married so early, and Wu Di’s mother said proudly, “Sisi said, now that she has obtained a marriage certificate, she will be able to give birth to Wu Di’s baby when she graduates from her senior year just one year later, Sisi. He also said that our Wu Di is getting old, so it is not easy to delay..." He said with a look of joy and complacency.
Hearing this made Jiang Yutang sour, I thought you should show it, show it every day.Opening your mouth is Xixi said, people call "Mom said" every day Mabao, you don't know what it is called!After being sour, I am envious. Wu Di is the same age as Shen Nian, and he is the first to find a girlfriend. Marriage is also the first to be married. If there are children in the future, they will still be in front of their family.With her own daughter's meek nature, she coaxed her girlfriend only after she got engaged, and she didn't know when she would be able to hug her granddaughter.
When the two elders went to the kitchen, Wu Di said to Cheng Qinglan dumbfounded, "See? I am tortured by them every day. They didn't do this when they met before. They used to talk about calligraphy and painting together, and talk about life like a professor who is very gentle." .When we meet now, one Xixi said, and the other Qinglan from our family."
"Do you think my mother is too showy? Let me tell you, Aunt Jiang is usually more than my mother. How about Qinglan from our family in front of my mother? Or just talk about the origin of your two families." , my mother is a person who believes in fate. She usually likes to watch constellations. She envies people with romantic stories, so every time she hears Aunt Jiang talk about these things, she becomes impatient. If there is, how sensational and romantic it will be at the wedding in the future. Recently, Aunt Jiang has provoked me so much that she asked me to make up some adventures with Xixi, so that I can talk about it at the wedding." Speaking of the elders , Wu Dizhen. . .
Cheng Qinglan sympathizes with Wu Di very much, and thinks the two old professors are so cute. Sitting together for nothing to bicker enriches retirement life. After stimulating each other, the next time they meet, they will be affectionate and affectionate, like two children who are not willing to admit defeat. It does not affect the relationship at all. .Of course, she also took Wu Di's mother's words into her heart and had her own plans.
When Cheng Qinglan went to see Shen Nian's grandmother, Shen Nian also went with them, after all, it was considered to be meeting the parents.Shen Nian's grandfather suffered from dementia many years ago and couldn't remember who he was.Grandma accompanied grandpa to live in a nursing home in the suburbs. They lived there when they moved back from Jiangcheng. They usually refused to ask Jiang Yutang to help, and took care of it by themselves.
Grandma Yang dresses very decently and elegantly. If you look closely, you can see that Jiang Yutang looks very similar to her. The old lady is very easy to get along with. When she sees Cheng Qinglan, she pulls her to her side. She is very kind and always praises her for how good she looks. It doesn't look like it did when I was a child.The old lady was very pleased to see that the little baby she delivered back then grew up to be the granddaughter of an old friend and the granddaughter-in-law in the end.
Grandma Yang has actually been to Jiangcheng several times to see Grandma Cheng in the past few years. Cheng Qinglan was not at home at the time, so this was the first time they met in such a long time.The old lady withdrew two jade bracelets from her hands, gave one to Shen Nian and Cheng Qinglan, and said with a smile that they were just a pair, and grandma would like to show her some kindness.Before leaving, he took care of them again and again to let them get along well.After they left, the old lady called Grandma Cheng excitedly. Anyway, she was satisfied with everything. The two talked from when it was suitable for marriage to what the child's name would be in the future.
49. Accompanying
Shen Nian is really very busy, busy with medical office affairs during the day, and has banquets to attend at night.Mr. Shen has officially handed over the medical clinic, including the Shen family's connections in Shencheng to Shen Nian.
Before this, the grandfather and grandson had a long talk. Shen Nian had different ideas about the future development of the clinic. These ideas were not mature before, so he never mentioned them to his grandfather.After years of careful consideration.She decided to talk to her grandfather about her plan.
Shen Nian had completely different ideas from his grandfather and even his grandparents. The grandparents had guarded the signboard of the Shen's Medical Center for two or three hundred years, not recruiting disciples with foreign surnames, and even refused to pass on their medical skills to the disciples of their own branches. This also indirectly caused the Shen's Medical Center to The influence is limited, and at its peak, it only had influence in the Jiangnan area.
For nearly a hundred years, the Shen family has lived in Shencheng steadily, and the people who seek treatment from the Shen family are all famous families in Shencheng. The Shen family medical clinic has become a private medical clinic for dignitaries to a certain extent.Although the revenue of the Shen's Medical Center is considerable, the Shen family is not short of money.There's nothing wrong with keeping it that way.
But compared to running a medical clinic, Shen Nian paid more attention to promoting the culture of traditional Chinese medicine, and wanted to contribute to the inheritance of traditional Chinese medical skills.
She thinks it doesn't matter if it hangs Shen's signboard or not!Although it is said that the medical center is more open-minded when it is passed on to Mr. Shen, and is willing to accept disciples with other surnames, but in Shen Nian's opinion, it is far from enough.The only way to expand the influence of traditional Chinese medicine is to abandon the idea of discipleship and recruit more apprentices, cultivate more talents of traditional Chinese medicine, and open more traditional Chinese medicine clinics.She wants to break the rule of using Shen's name for medical clinics, unite with families of traditional Chinese medicine from all over the world, and work together to let the common people regain their confidence in traditional Chinese medicine.
In the operation of medical centers, it is also necessary to adapt to the development of the times, change the traditional rules, and meet the treatment needs of different groups.Shen Nian told Mr. Shen that she plans to provide online reservations for decoction and access to takeaway delivery, which can not only guarantee the quality of the medicine, but also provide convenience for busy young people.
In the future, we will go to schools to spread the culture of traditional Chinese medicine to students. Only by letting young people know and accept traditional Chinese medicine is the foundation of inheritance.
After all, young people represent the future. If they don’t do anything, there may be a gap in the audience of Chinese medicine. If no patients come to you for medical treatment, it will be difficult to survive even if you talk about development.
Is it really going to be reduced to the point where when it comes to Chinese medicine, you only know about health care?
After hearing this, Mr. Shen was silent for a long time. On the one hand, he was very pleased that his granddaughter had such ambitions and aspirations, and he was proud of her. At the same time, he was ashamed. The ruin is in my own hands, not as far-sighted as my granddaughter thinks, because I am too small.
In the end, Mr. Shen said earnestly, "Grandpa supports your decision. You can go ahead and do it. If you need grandpa, just mention it! Shen Yun, the Shen family will depend on you in the end, and the fate of Chinese medicine depends on your generation."
Mr. Shen originally wanted to talk to his granddaughter and planned to hand over power formally. After hearing what she said, he didn't have any worries.
Although the Shen family practiced medicine and did not have much contact with business, the Shen family has been rooted in the south of the Yangtze River for two or three hundred years, and has long been inextricably linked with all walks of life in Shanghai.Shen Nian has long taken over the management of the medical clinic, but these connections have always been maintained by Mr. Shen in the past.It was before that the old man felt that the time was not ripe enough, and he didn't want Shen Nian to be burdened by socializing too early.
Now that the third generation successors of these big families have taken over one after another, it is the alternation of power between the old and the new. The old man deliberately took the opportunity to hand over the connections of the Shen family to Shen Nian, allowing her to do what she wanted to do as the head of the Shen family.
Shen Nian is not that resistant to socializing, Grandpa said that it is not enough to just treat people, socializing is also very important.What to do now can leave the background relationship.These big families in Shencheng are willing to make friends with the Shen family, why not because of the Shen family's intricate and powerful relationship network, because the Shen family is the easiest to get in touch with the big names in Shencheng.
When Grandpa Shen was not in Shanghai before, Shen Nian also attended such occasions, it was just entertainment, so
