The sun was high, and the hour hand of the wall clock in the main room was pointing to two o'clock. Chen Wan looked at the heat wave outside, and her eyes were filled with anxiety.With Xu Kongshan's speed, under normal circumstances he should have arrived at about 12:30, Zhou Mei made his lunch, and the family waited a little faster before Chen Wan asked them to eat first.

Chen Wan couldn't eat, so he scrambled a few mouthfuls of rice, and put the leftovers for Xu Kongshan in the water tank to keep them fresh.

"Uncle De." Xu Kongshan was wearing short sleeves, and his exposed arms were hot from the sun. Uncle De was fanning the cattail fan in the room, and sat up from the recliner upon hearing the sound.

"Why didn't you wear a straw hat on such a hot day?" Uncle De handed the enamel cup filled with herbal tea to Xu Kongshan, and fanned him with a cattail fan.

"I thought I would be back at noon, so I didn't bring it with me." Xu Kongshan took the enamel cup and drank it up in one gulp, then picked up the teapot and filled it up. He drank three cups in a row before he quenched his thirst.

"You should take it with you at noon. Don't take it seriously because you are young. Be careful of getting old." Uncle De nagged Xu Kongshan, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I ate it." Xu Kongshan didn't let himself go hungry, and bought two steamed buns on the way back, "Uncle De, this is the money for selling medicine this time."

"Why are there so many?" Uncle De counted ten cards of Great Unity, "Show me yours."

Uncle De was worried that Xu Kongshan would not share equally, so he gave him the big head, otherwise how could he have a hundred.

"The boss who bought the medicine gave me two hundred." Xu Kongshan showed Uncle De the 100 yuan in his hand, proving that he did not lie.

"That's too much." Uncle De still felt that the 100 yuan was a bit hot to hold. When he collected and sold medicine by himself in the early years, he could get three to forty yuan at a time.

"Hi Boss." Xu Kongshan praised Hu Liwei from the bottom of his heart, but didn't tell Uncle De that Hu Liwei would take him into business for the time being.

"I'll take the money, take the IOU back." Uncle De said as he took out the IOU written to him by Xu Kongshan from the drawer, with Xu Kongshan's signature and handprint on it.

Xu Kongshan was stunned, he hadn't paid back the money yet, why did Uncle De give him the IOU?

"The tens of dollars you owed me have been paid off." Xu Kongshan refused to accept the IOU, so Uncle De simply tore it up.

Ever since Xu Kongshan learned how to make medicine, every time he finished collecting medicines, he would deal with the ones that could be processed first. He was often busy until dark, and if he was free in the rest of the time, he would often come to help. It can be said that out of the 200 yuan, 150 yuan is worth it. To his credit.

Uncle De taught Xu Kongshan to collect herbs and make medicines, but as long as Xu Kongshan has other thoughts, with his current ability, he can get rid of Uncle De and go it alone at any time.However, he didn't, and still honestly divided the proceeds from selling medicines with Uncle De.

Xu Kongshan is honest, and Uncle De doesn't bully honest people, he only takes what he should get, and the excess is regarded as arrears to Xu Kongshan.

"I'm a lonely old man who has nothing to spend money on, so I don't need that much." Uncle De knew what Xu Kongshan wanted to say, he waved his hand, and blocked what Xu Kongshan wanted to say with one sentence, "If you recognize me Master, you just listen to me."

After nearly half a year of consideration, Uncle De was finally willing to let Xu Kongshan be his real apprentice.

Uncle De didn't pay attention to any ceremony, so he asked Xu Kongshan to offer him a cup of tea with an enamel cup, and then went to the back room to offer a stick of incense to the senior, and asked Xu Kongshan to change his mouth.

"Speaking of which, I took advantage of you. I have no children in this life, and I will have to trouble you to help with the aftermath." Uncle De said with emotion, skipping the old age and talking about the end of life.

Being a teacher for one day and being a father for the rest of his life, Xu Kongshan has already made preparations in his heart to take care of him until the end of his life.

Uncle De was married when he was young. He had a deep relationship with his wife and had a son. Unfortunately, his son died of a serious illness when he was two years old. .

If it were someone else who experienced such a tragic experience, it would be very likely that he would be devastated, but Uncle De did not. He survived strongly and studied medicine more painstakingly, so that such tragedies would not happen to other families again.

The previous relationship between the two was not much different from that of master and apprentice, so there was nothing to say after paying homage to master. Xu Kongshan left the clinic with the straw hat given to him by Uncle De on his head.

The moment Xu Kongshan walked into the courtyard, Chen Wan felt something in his heart. He raised his head, shifted his eyes from the book to the window, and stood up when he saw Xu Kongshan.

"Brother Shan!" Chen Wan exited the house excitedly, "You are finally back, did anything happen on the way?"

Feeling the heat from Xu Kongshan's body, Chen Wan held his arm to cool him down.Chen Wan's hands were very cold. Even in summer, his body temperature was lower than that of ordinary people. It was so comfortable when Xu Kongshan hugged him to sleep at night.

There are a lot of things that happened on the road, and I can't finish it in one or two sentences.Xu Kongshan was sweating all over, Chen Wan took out the food from the water tank while he was taking a cold shower, and returned the vegetables with lard to the pot again.

Xu Kongshan ate the cold porridge with a sigh of relief, and let out a sigh of relief.

After the meal, Xu Kongshan and Chen Wan sat in the main room and talked. Although Zhou Mei and the others were not there, it was not good to be bumped into the bedroom in broad daylight.

"Uncle De let me recognize him as a master." Xu Kongshan said the first good news.

"Congratulations, Brother Shan." Chen Wan understood that this represented Uncle De's approval of Xu Kongshan, so Xu Kongshan will follow the path of Chinese medicine in the future?Chen Wan thought about it for a while, and thought that if Xu Kongshan liked it, it would be nice to be a respected old Chinese doctor, so I'll leave it to him to make money.

Xu Kongshan deepened the smile on his face, Chen Wan felt that he still had something to say, he would not come back more than two hours late by asking a teacher, is it because selling medicine in the morning is not going well?

"Brother Shan sold today's medicine to Boss Hu?"

"Yes." Xu Kongshan was a little nervous for a moment, and told what happened in the morning, "Brother Hu wants me to do business with him, what do you think, Liu'er?"

Chen Wan sensed Xu Kongshan's inclination from the address he gave to Hu Liwei. If he didn't want to, he would definitely refuse on the spot, and he wouldn't wait until he came back to ask his opinion.

But Chen Wan didn't directly say yes or no: "Brother Shan, do you want to go?"

"Think." Xu Kongshan looked into Chen Wan's eyes and expressed his true thoughts. He looked forward to getting Chen Wan's support.

Doing business under the current policy, especially reselling business, is extremely risky, Chen Wan frowned a little worried: "Did Boss Hu tell you about the danger?"

"He told me." Xu Kongshan hesitated for a long time, but chose to confess to Chen Wan. He didn't want Chen Wan to be frightened, but he didn't want to deceive Chen Wan either.

The most serious consequence that Hu Liwei listed to Xu Kongshan was that they would be arrested for reselling medicinal materials. If they were caught with stolen goods, they would face reform through labor for an unknown period.

"Don't be afraid, Liu'er. Brother Hu said that he has a very thorough plan, and this situation will not happen." Hu Liwei didn't want to be caught, and the people he traded with were not, so they would not involve real people during the transaction. Currency and remittances are only one type of money-related things, so even if they are caught, they still have room for change. At worst, they will be fined, and they will never go to the point of reform through labor.

"I still don't want you to take risks, Brother Shan." Since the risk exists, there is a possibility of it happening, no matter the probability is one percent or one millionth, Chen Wan doesn't think that Hu Liwei can guarantee Xu Kongshan's absolute safety.

But Xu Kongshan really wanted to go, he was embarrassed: "Liu'er, I want to go to the provincial capital to find you soon."

This was the main reason why Xu Kongshan wanted to do business with Hu Liwei. The more he got along with Chen Wan, the more he couldn't bear the upcoming half-year separation.Even though Chen Wan promised to come back to see him when he was free, where would he take the time? Compress the rest time?

Like to go both ways, Xu Kongshan also wanted to do his best to do something for Chen Wan, instead of letting Chen Wan accommodate him again and again.

The gap between them was like a rubber band, Chen Wan was constantly moving forward, if Xu Kongshan remained still, it would inevitably increase the resistance of Chen Wan's forward movement, and even drag him back.

Xu Kongshan didn't allow himself to be a drag on Chen Wan. He had to work hard and strive to become someone who could help Chen Wan one day.

"What if I still don't agree?" Chen Wan glanced at the courtyard door, and after confirming that there was no one there, she quickly raised her head and kissed the corner of Xu Kongshan's mouth.

Xu Kongshan was silent, Chen Wan knew what he was thinking, and a moving smile appeared on his face, he was not willing to make things difficult for Xu Kongshan: "Brother Shan, do what you want."

Chen Wan's words made Xu Kongshan smile. If he hadn't been in the main room, he would have embraced Chen Wan in his arms and kept kissing to express his excitement.

"Thank you Liu'er." Xu Kongshan followed Chen Wan's example and gave him a touching kiss. Chen Wan resisted the urge to kiss back and signaled Xu Kongshan to calm down: "You think about how you want to talk to my elder brother and the others." Did you say it?"

In fact, the biggest obstacle for Xu Kongshan to do business is not Chen Wan, but his environment.Doing business with Hu Liwei is not a matter of a day or two. Once Xu Kongshan goes out, let alone ten days and a half months. The countryside is different from the city. He must have a suitable excuse for not participating in the labor in the village.

Chen Wan can accept Xu Kongshan's reselling of medicinal materials, but it doesn't mean that Chen Qianjin and the others can accept it.In Chen Jinjin's understanding, reselling medicinal materials is a capitalist practice of speculation, and they will be cut off.

Xu Kongshan obviously didn't expect this, he was stunned by Chen Wan's question.The two of them pondered together for a long time, but they couldn't think of a suitable way to say it.

"Brother Shan, go back and discuss with Boss Hu, he should have a solution." Chen Wan gave up thinking about it with a headache. Hu Liwei has many connections, and he thinks he can help Xu Kongshan solve his troubles.

The author has something to say: Chen Wan: Brother Shan, come on!
