As the saying goes, wife, children, hot bed.
In winter, it is good to light a firewood and heat the pot on the kang, then sit or lie down to chat or play poker. Older people like to lie down and listen to the radio or opera.
Wang Yao's mother chatted with the old man, while he dredged his grandfather's meridians.
Before I knew it, it was morning, and the old man wanted to get up and cook.
"You lie down and I'll do it."
Mother and son had already bought a lot of ready-made food on their way back.
In winter, there are relatively few vegetables in the north. Cabbage and radishes are grown by oneself and are naturally pollution-free.
A pot of cabbage and more meat.
A few stir-fries,
Zhang Xiuying was busy, and Wang Yao was helping her. Soon, lunch was ready.
"It's time to eat, grandma and grandpa."
"Hey, why did you buy so many things?" Apart from farming, the old man has no stable source of income. Now Wang Yao's mother and third aunt give the old man a part of their income regularly every month. He is also reluctant to eat or drink. This is a habit.
Wang Yao didn't say anything after hearing this, he just smiled.
After dinner, Wang Yao's mother went out to visit a few houses. Every time she came, she always walked around with relatives and friends she got along well with. After all, the two old people were still here and still needed the help of these relatives. , favor matters are indispensable.
After all this walking, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.
In the mountain village,
Du Baozhan's family has been waiting for nearly an hour.
"Oh, where has this Dr. Wang gone? Why hasn't he come back yet?" They were a little anxious.
"I made an agreement with him yesterday to come over this afternoon and just wait."
"Mom, I have an appointment with a patient this afternoon. I'll go back first and pick you up later?"
"Let's go back together and let your grandpa and grandma take a rest." Zhang Xiuying said.
"That's okay."
The mother and son said goodbye to the two old people and returned to the mountain village.
Du Baozhan's family has been waiting here for nearly two hours.
"Sorry, something delayed me." Wang Yao apologized hurriedly after seeing the family.
"fine."
When he came to the medical clinic, Wang Yao gave Du Baozhan a diagnosis.
"Huh?" His situation is better than the first two people.
"What's wrong, doctor?" the attentive mother asked hurriedly after hearing Wang Yao's angry sigh.
"Nothing, I'm just curious. Your son's situation is better than those two young men. Hasn't his drug addiction broken out?"
"I had an attack. I tied him up in the house and carried him through forcefully," his father said.
"Oh, I see, no wonder." Wang Yao said after hearing this.
Relying on one's own will to resist the onset of past addiction and relying on external forces to overcome difficulties are two completely different concepts. This young man has the experience and confidence to successfully resist for the first time. Even without Wang Yao's treatment, the possibility of him quitting drug addiction alone will be greatly improved, unlike the two young men who came yesterday.
"Very good!" Wang Yao smiled and patted his shoulder.
Knowing that you are wrong, and then working hard to correct the mistake, and working hard to solve customer problems is a good comrade.
"Hold on."
Wang Yao went to the next room to boil medicine for him.
It will take a while for it to remain the same as yesterday.
It was just after four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky outside became dark.
In the room, wild wood was burning, giving off a warm glow.
Wang Yao sat quietly on the wooden bench, like an old monk in meditation.
"The medicine is not healed yet?"
"Be patient and don't be impatient."
Du Baozhan carefully looked at the furnishings in the room. He had been to this room several times, but never looked at it so carefully as he did today.
It's not that he's curious, but that he's really bored with waiting.
He found this room very simple.
A few tables, a set of medicine boxes, that's all.
Such a simple thing and such extraordinary medical skills made him somewhat admired.
The smell of medicinal fragrance drifted in from the window.
At this moment, he developed a deep admiration and interest in ancient medicine.
"What on earth did I study in college?" At this moment, he had such an idea.
The door opened with a creak.
"The medicine is gone."
Wang Yao repeated the same words once, but this time the length of time was extended.
"Come back for a follow-up visit in a month."
"A month?"
"Yes, if you can survive the first time, you can survive the second time. You have to have confidence in yourself."
"Okay, I'm confident!" Du Baozhan said.
"Be careful on the road."
The sky is getting dark, and yesterday's snow has not yet melted, so the road is not as easy to walk on as it was when it first snowed, and it is easier to slip. Wang Yao is a kind reminder.
"Xiaobao, how do you feel now?"
"I don't feel anything, it's pretty good." The young man said.
"That's good. I feel like Dr. Wang's attitude toward us this time is much better than last time."
They could clearly feel that Wang Yao's attitude towards them had improved, but they didn't know why.
It’s late at night, a cup of tea and a Taoist scripture,
Deep in the mountains, Wang Yao's not loud chanting sound seemed to be able to reach far away.
The next day, Tong Wei came suddenly. He didn’t say hello to Wang Yao in advance.
It was freezing cold, and a pretty girl stood there, her pretty face flushed.
"Why did you come back suddenly and didn't tell me a word?"
"I just want to give you a surprise." Tong Wei said with a smile.
Worried
Wang Yao could sensitively sense that there was something in Tong Wei's heart. Although her smile was still sweet, it no longer felt as natural as before.
"Is it snowing in the island city?"
"Down." Tong Wei said with a smile.
"How did you come back?"
"The hitchhiker happened to be passing through Lianshan County."
The two of them stayed in the hospital for a long time.
Beauty is still alluring,
This is the conversation, communication, and interaction between the two people, but they are no longer as close as before.
It was not Wang Yao who had reservations, but Tong Wei.
He didn't know what happened and didn't ask in detail. He just wanted to take this opportunity to spend more time with Tong Wei.
Zhang Xiuying prepared a sumptuous lunch at noon, and even called Wang Ru and Du Mingyang back home.
The whole family was very happy, at least on the surface.
"Uncle, aunt, according to the company's arrangements, I am going to the United States to stay for a while."
While chatting after dinner, Tong Wei broke the news.
Wang Yao's parents and sister were stunned.
"Going abroad again?" Zhang Xiuying asked.
"Hey." Tong Wei responded with a smile.
In fact, as a traditional old man, Zhang Xiuying still agrees with the division of labor in life that men take charge of the outside world and women take charge of the house. The main focus of the girl's family should be on the family, caring for her husband and raising children, and leaving outside matters to the man. , working hard to earn money to support the family, so in his heart he still doesn't agree with Tong Wei always running around outside. It would not be good if he was still like this after getting married, and he still knows a little bit about Wang Yao's current income, for sure It was quite a lot, and it was more than enough to support a family, but she didn't say it out loud. After all, she hadn't married into the Wang family yet. Even if she really married into the Wang family, there were some things she couldn't say out loud.
"Are you going alone?"
"No, I'll go with my colleagues in the company."
"You should take care of yourself when you are alone outside." Although she didn't want Tong Wei to go out, she still said something that an elder should say.
After dinner, Tong Wei came to Wang Yao's bedroom.
"Are you worried?" Wang Yao asked with a smile.
"Nothing." Tong Wei smiled and shook her head.
"Speak out if you have something to say, don't hold it inside."
"I just feel unsure." Tong Wei's answer surprised Wang Yao a little.
"Why are you so desperate?"
"I just don't feel reassured," Tong Wei said.
She was really worried when she came back this time, because of work matters and another matter.
She stayed at Wang Yao's home for a long time and talked a lot with Wang Yao, but Wang Yao felt a little confused.
"What happened to you?"
"It's okay." Tong Wei still answered like this.
In the evening, she did not stay for dinner, but sent Wang Yao home.
Coincidentally, guests came to Tong Wei's house. They were her mother's two sisters. They originally planned to have dinner at home, but suddenly changed their mind and went to a restaurant.
Wang Yao didn't follow either.
He said goodbye to Tong Wei and drove home alone.
