Siheyuan diet for men and women

Chapter 917 How embarrassing~
"What are you waiting for? You didn't come back after waiting for a long time."

When Liu Yin saw her son come into the house, she muttered, "I thought you were eating in the outer yard."

"It's Brother Zhuer."

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and said, "He pulled me aside and chatted with me for a while, all nonsense."

Having said this, he washed his hands and said to Li Shu's father who was eating with her in his arms: "Please take a look at her later, make sure it's not depression."

"Ouch, why is it still like this?"

Liu Yin also found it strange. She motioned her son to come to the table to eat, saying, "It seemed like nothing happened these days. Why did this happen?"

"Have a meal"

Li Shun was very calm. He signaled Li Xuewu, who then picked up some food for Li Shu in his arms.

Li Shu is a big troublemaker. She was almost full from the snacks that everyone fed her before dinner, and now she is making a fuss.

If she sees someone eating something that tastes delicious, she will ask her grandfather to serve some food for her. She will only swallow it if she thinks it tastes good, otherwise she will say "Pooh".

Children are like this. They can’t eat anything when they sit at the table. They just want to feel involved and recognized.

The table on the ground is for the children of the family, and the table on the kang is for the elderly. They are clearly divided according to their seniority.

The only special ones are Li Shu and Li Xue.

When Li Xue is not at home, Li Shu becomes the boss.

Li Shu doesn't miss her aunt as much as her grandmother does about the fact that her aunt is not at home. Having an aunt in the family is enough.

If my aunt really comes back, the degree of restrictions she faces at grandma's house will be much higher.

The little aunt was mean. Not only did she tease her, she also snatched food from her and deliberately made her angry.

If it were anyone else, she would definitely win if she complained to her wife or grandmother, but that was not the case with her aunt.

She also gradually realized that there was no room for two tigers in one mountain.

In the Li family, according to the old customs of Northeast China, they are the only two unmarried girls, both of whom are aunts of noble status.

What to do if the ladies fight with each other? Of course, the fight ends only when the big and small kings are separated.

At this stage, Li Shu cannot defeat her aunt, but she is stubborn and does not want to be the boss, so she can only fight again and again and never give up.

"Second Brother"

While eating, Li Xuecai held his bowl and ate with particular relish.

One is home-cooked food, two is the home atmosphere, and three is the taste of mother’s food.

Because he missed the life and meals at home, he took the initiative to call his second brother and asked hesitantly: "Can Dad and I come down now?"

Li Xuewu raised his head and looked at him. Taking in his cautious expression, he said with a smile, "Where do you want to go? You are right at home."

"I mean……"

"Have a meal"

Before Li Xuecai could say anything else, Ji Yuxiu put a piece of food in his bowl with chopsticks, reminding him not to say anything more.

Li Xuecai looked at her with some resentment, his eyes full of confusion.

There was obviously nothing to worry about, so why did he still stay on the mountain?
Of course, it is my duty to go up the mountain to accompany my father and take care of him, but my father cannot stay in the mountain all the time.

When will this month when I can’t go home once end?

The person he asked was his second brother, who was the one in the family who had the best grasp of the situation and was the most trusted.

But the second brother hasn’t said anything yet, why didn’t Ji Yuxiu let him speak?
Seeing his aggrieved look, Ji Yuxiu looked at her pitifully while holding the bowl in her hand without moving her chopsticks. She let out a long sigh, not knowing how to explain it.

Li Shun fed Li Shu and glanced at the third brother. He didn't say anything, but the reproach in his eyes made Li Xuecai lower his head.

Zhao Yafang stood up and added another bowl of rice to Li Shun's bowl, but she took the initiative to speak and explain something on behalf of Li Xuecai.

"Xuecai, things are a bit troublesome"

She added more rice to Li Xuewen, sat back in the chair, gestured to Li Xuewu and said, "Your second brother is in trouble. Something happened in Shanghai again. The news was broadcast on the radio this morning."

After hearing what his sister-in-law said, Li Xuecai raised his head and first looked at his second brother, then looked at Ji Yuxiu.

He was not surprised to see his second brother's indifferent look. After all, his second brother's status became higher and higher, and his demeanor became more and more stable.

He could see some helplessness and worry on Ji Yuxiu's face.

"……it is true?"

"So much nonsense."

Before Ji Yuxiu could answer, Li Shun, who was sitting on the kang, frowned and scolded his son, "Your butt is pointed and you can't sit still for a moment. Do you still want to sit in the hall?"

"dad……"

Li Xuecai looked at his father somewhat disappointedly, put down the bowl in his hand, and felt that nothing tasted good anymore.

Ji Yuxiu filled a teacup with warm water for him, walked behind him, pinched his shoulders, and consoled him softly: "Your school isn't opening anyway, so what's wrong with waiting a few days?"

“I just want to go home.”

Li Xuecai glanced at his second brother, paused for a moment, and then said, "Besides, it's so cold in the mountains, Dad..."

"Don't make small talk"

Li Shun put down his chopsticks, glared at Li Xuecai and scolded: "If you want to study medicine, just stay quiet and follow me up the mountain."

"If you don't want to learn..."

Having said this, he gestured in the direction of his second son and said, "Get rid of this troublesome identity as soon as possible and stop thinking of yourself as a child of destiny. Let your second brother arrange a job for you as soon as possible."

After saying that, he turned around, picked up the chopsticks again and paused on the table, saying: "Whether you go to the workshop or to sweep the streets, I won't stop you."

"dad……"

Li Xuecai wanted to say more, but his mother's eyes signaled him to hold the words back.

Gu Ning saw his brother-in-law's embarrassed expression and poked Li Xuewu under the table.

Li Xuewu pretended not to feel anything and just gave Gu Ning a reassuring look when she was about to frown.

Gu Ning didn't quite understand the actual situation, so it was difficult for him to make decisions or explain many things.

But she knew that as long as Li Xuewu agreed, it would not be difficult to arrange conditions for her brother-in-law to study at home.

It seems that Li Xuewu disagrees. He would rather let Li Xuecai stay with his father-in-law in the mountains, separated from Ji Yuxiu, than make any arrangements for him.

If you want to talk about cruelty, she is the sister-in-law, and Li Xue is Li Xuewu's biological brother.

The arrangements and care that should be made should be proposed by Li Xuewu himself, or arranged directly.

But now Li Xuewu remained silent, and her father-in-law and Ji Yuxiu both had the same attitude, so she couldn't say anything.

A harmonious family brings prosperity, this is what Gu Ning thought. From the moment she entered the house, she noticed that her mother-in-law paid more attention to her brother-in-law.

After all, he is the youngest son and they live in the mountains. Li Xuewu is the only one in the family who can get his way. She doesn't want to embarrass her mother-in-law, so she talks about this with Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu had already explained to his mother that the third child's situation was suitable for training in the mountains.

In addition, there is the identity of the third brother. Not to mention that he is a college student, even among the doctors in the Chinese medicine hospital, or even in all the hospitals in the city, which one is truly safe?

I wish I could drive all the doctors to the countryside and realize the great goal of universal health care as soon as possible.

But the reality of this unrealistic strategy of exhausting all resources is that some students in medical schools will be assigned in advance.

Just think about it, even an elementary school graduate can become a dentist, let alone students in medical school.

It's better to study medicine with my father than to follow that guy and try to find a way out by writing novels.

If the eldest brother was in the position of the third brother, he would not make such arrangements.

But with Li Xuecai's personality, especially his innocent appearance, if he really hangs around at home, there's no telling what might happen.

The people who know you best are mostly those who care about you. Although what your family members say may not sound good, they are sincere.

Li Xuecai was also very frustrated in the mountain. He had no idea how many ants there were in the village, but he must have checked many times how many people there were in the mountain.

Every time I see the cars going in and out of the training ground, I always hope that one day I will be as free as they are.

In fact, for Li Xuewu, he is still a college student. Doesn’t he know that freedom is relative?

Freedom is unfreedom, and unfreedom is freedom.

Li Xuecai finished his lunch in depression and the whole family felt helpless.

After dinner, Li Xuewu didn't wait for his father to speak. He pulled the dejected Li Xuecai out and found a place to talk to him alone.

The afternoon sun was still warm, but Li Xuecai's heart felt cold.

Following my second brother through the hanging flower gate, I saw that he was heading towards my own room in the east courtyard, and I felt even more sad.

It was clearly agreed that the house was built for himself, but now his partner has moved in and he hasn’t even lived there for a few days.

Li Xuewu just walked towards the East Courtyard but did not enter the gate. Ji Yuxiu lived there and it would be embarrassing if anything inconvenient happened.

When passing the gatehouse, Li Xuewu took a look inside and saw that there was no one there but the stove was burning, so he pushed open the door and motioned Li Xuecai to follow him in.

During the day, this place is mostly populated by old ladies sewing shoe soles and chatting. At noon, they have to go home to prepare meals, after all, today is Sunday.

Normally there would be no one here, because those who work eat at the factory, and those who don't earn money at home only have two meals a day.

Besides, this courtyard only needs to be on duty at night. It doesn’t matter during the day. Just remember to close the door when you go in and out.

There is no need to think about the stove. There must be a game in the afternoon. Who knows where the old ladies from the front and back yards are watching the cards here.

Playing cards is a common name, and they are found everywhere, but they are also different. They are long strips of hard paper with the 108 heroes from Water Margin printed on them.

Li Xuewu casually flipped through the drawer of the wooden table by the window, and just happened to find this kind of playing cards inside.

Li Xuecai had no intention of observing the doorman. As soon as he entered the room, he sat on the kang and stared blankly.

Li Xuewu glanced at him, reached out and gently scratched his head, and asked with a smile: "Did you lose your soul?"

“…No~”

Li Xuecai pursed his lips, raised his head and looked at his second brother, and said: "I know what you want to tell me, I know everything."

"Well, you are a college student, you know everything."

Li Xuewu nodded, pulled out a chair and sat down, with his back to the window, he looked at his third brother and said: "I'm just a little unwilling, a little depressed, and also not convinced by me."

"No~"

This time he answered firmly and quickly. How could he dare not disobey his second brother? He might get a slap in the face.

If he really got beaten by his second brother, not only would his parents not stand up for him, he would also be embarrassed in front of Ji Yuxiu.

He really didn't dare to stroke his second brother's whiskers. Being a younger brother was meaningless. In the past, the eldest brother was beaten by the second brother.

Li Xuecai had seen people with sour faces before, but it was rare to see someone like his second brother who would raise his hand and hit someone just because they said something wrong.

Of course, this was all in the past. Now the second brother is a good second brother and he has never hit him since he came back.

Sometimes, even when his second brother glared at him, he couldn't help but tremble with fear.

Especially the last time at the Jiaodaokou police station, when his second brother held the spear and stabbed the man's hand, he still remembered his second brother's ferocity.

So when his second brother called him out for a private talk, he was nervous. He had already given in before he left and decided to follow his father up the mountain to study medicine.

Brought here by his second brother, he had only one goal, which was to avoid being beaten.

Because my second elder brother was like this before. He would never beat me at home, but would always find a place where people could not see him and beat me.

If he dares to go home and complain after I've dealt with him, I might be stopped by him and beaten up again.

Li Xuewu also realized that his younger brother was afraid of him and didn't even dare to look him in the eye.

"The reason why I asked you to go to the mountains is because your father's personality is not suitable for working in the city."

"I have to go to work and it's not convenient for me to take care of my father"

Li Xuewu looked at his third brother and said, "I know what you want to say, big brother. You saw that big brother was able to go home, and it seemed that everything was fine, right?"

Li Xuecai glanced at his second brother secretly, and it was obvious that his second brother knew what was on his mind.

He was feeling a little embarrassed at the moment, as he had really thought about this while eating.

If elder brother has nothing to do at home, why not switch with him?

Li Xuewu took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and placed the cigarette box on the table.

He blew a puff of smoke, looked at his younger brother again, and explained: "The reason why we don't let my eldest brother go to the mountain is so that he can keep in touch with academic subjects at any time at the foot of the mountain, so as not to lose his ability to make a living."

"The first is that the prison needs him, and the steel mill is also looking forward to launching several projects that require your participation."

As he said this, Li Xuewu knocked on the table with his lighter and said, "Brother is honest and upright, there is nothing wrong with him. I have to find a way out for him, right?"

“Just like you”

Li Xuewu pointed at the third son Xuecai and said, "Allowing you to study medicine with your father with peace of mind is the same as arranging for your eldest brother to go to prison."

"Think carefully about the last reason why I didn't let Big Brother go up the mountain."

Li Xuewu put down the lighter in his hand, took a puff of the cigarette, held it with his hand, and tapped it against his heel.

Li Xuecai lowered his head and nodded, saying: "Yuxiu just told me that my sister-in-law is pregnant."

"You, you must have cultivated yourself for several lifetimes."

Li Xuewu pointed at his third brother and said, "If he wasn't my biological brother, I would never have introduced him to you when I met Yuxiu."

Li Xuecai could hear his second brother's emotions, he looked up at him and said, "I know."

"what do you know?"

Li Xuewu looked into his eyes and said, "Another reason why I won't let you go down the mountain is that you don't even have the insight and maturity of Yuxiu! Do you understand?"

He glanced at his brother with a look of disappointment, raised his hand to indicate the direction of home, and said: "You have to admit that although Yuxiu has not been to college, she understands these things in society better than you do."

"Ok, I know"

Li Xuecai could only obey orders in front of his second brother. He dared not say no, let alone offer any opinions.

Li Xuewu took another puff of his cigarette and said, "How are your classmates doing now? You don't need me to tell you about it. You are very clear about their situation."

"Think about it, if you really stay at home, you can guarantee that you won't provoke them, but can you guarantee that they won't come looking for you?"

"Think about it again"

Li Xuewu pointed to the yard and reminded softly: "You think no one in our yard wants to harm you or our family, right?"

"It doesn't take much. If you go out with your classmates or friends a few times, someone will use you to implicate our whole family."

"Do you believe it or not?"

"I understand, brother."

Li Xuecai is not stupid, he just lacks social experience, understanding and experience of life.

If you are really stupid, it is impossible to get into university in this era.

And precisely because he was able to get into college, his understanding of life is not as good as that of his second brother, a college dropout.

"Don't blame Yuxiu"

Li Xuewu flicked the ash off his cigarette and said to his brother, "If she had other thoughts, why would she live here? What kind of girl would be willing to give up herself like this?"

"If I didn't care about you, why would I advise you to study harder and practice harder? Only when you become successful will your future life be better."

"If love is long-lasting, why should we be together day and night? Don't you have this view of love?"

Li Xuewu convinced his brother, and seeing that he understood, he reached out and gently patted his face, chuckling: "You need to be patient in love, and even more so, you need to have confidence and determination."

"Thank you, brother."

The haze in Li Xuecai's heart dissipated and he laughed. Feeling the change in his second brother, he also took the initiative to joke: "Second brother is still more experienced in love."

"..."

Li Xuewu felt a little regretful. He should have used more force when he patted his brother just now.

Li Xuecai didn't dare to give him a chance to make amends. After saying this, he got up and ran away.

He could still hear the conversation he had overheard with Ji Yuxiu outside the window. The young couple began to restore their intimate relationship with the words "Did your second brother hit you?" which left Li Xuewu speechless.

Perhaps because Li Xuecai said that his second brother was not in the East Courtyard but in the gatehouse and could hear their conversation, Ji Yuxiu's voice disappeared.

She also knew what a huge blow her suspicion was to her second brother, so she was embarrassed and pulled Li Xuecai towards the East Courtyard.

Li Xuewu was smoking a cigarette, feeling angry and amused at the same time, but his face mostly showed a satisfied expression.

A harmonious family brings prosperity, this is a truth everyone understands, but when there are many people in a family, someone has to understand and do it first.

My brothers have all started their own families and careers, so there is no need for my father and mother to worry about how to handle this kind of relationship.

Even if Li Xuewu didn't step forward to resolve the problem, the sister-in-law would talk to Li Xuecai and Ji Yuxiu together.

He had not yet finished his cigarette when the concierge door was opened again.

"Finished?"

"Dad, why don't you lie down for a while?"

When Li Xuewu saw his father coming in, he quickly stood up, threw the cigarette butt in his hand and stomped it out.

Li Shun looked at his son, waved his hand, motioning him to sit down, and he also sat on the kang.

"Send your great grandmother to the back room, and talk to your mother and the others for a while."

After explaining to his son, Li Shun's eyes kept wandering on his son's face.

In the mountains, Li Shun missed his family, but what he was most worried about was his second son.

This kid used to be naughty, and he was worried about him all the time.

But now that his son has become successful, he still can't let go of his worry.

Others envied him for having a good son who was young, high-ranking, powerful and talented. But to him, this envy was a heavy burden on his shoulders.

The second son is the one who supports the family. The pressure of arranging the arrangements for the eldest son and settling him and the third son falls entirely on the son.

The female soldiers left at home still have to be taken care of by their son.

But he thought that the situation outside was grim and his son was in a high position, so it must be lonely at the top.

In the past, he was the head of the family. He was not there to show off his power, but to protect his wife and children.

Now that his son has become more and more capable, it has become a burden and trouble for him as a father.

It was agreed when the family was divided that each household would live separately. Even if the second son doesn't take care of the family, what does it matter?

Just now, seeing his son calling the third child out, Li Shun felt both relieved and touched.

The old father is incompetent and his son suffers a lot.

He was not good at expressing his fatherly love and had never shown tenderness in front of his children in his entire life. At noon, when his family reunited and he drank a few more glasses of wine, he seemed to be talkative.

Li Shun started by talking about his childhood when he followed his father to study medicine, and talked about old stories that he rarely mentioned to his children.

Seeing that his father was rarely in the mood to talk, Li Xuewu became a listener, nodding in response from time to time.

A few figures flashed by outside, and someone looked into the gatehouse. They were the boys who had lit the kang and were preparing to play cards.

They never imagined that after playing cards in the morning and preparing to play more in the afternoon, by the time they had lit the fire and went home for dinner, the gatehouse had been occupied by someone.

If they were old ladies in the courtyard, these boys would either call them grandma or ask them to leave if they were making trouble.

But Li Xuewu was sitting in the room, so they didn't dare to go in and meet him.

I can't even hide from him on normal days, but now he's sharing the same room with me in the concierge's office. That must be crazy!

So Li Xuewu glanced at a few figures that came and disappeared, and he didn't do anything, just continued listening.

Li Shun was also drunk. He was moved by the family reunion today and seeing the brothers getting along so harmoniously, he remembered the brotherhood he had when he was a child.

At the same time, I was thinking of my old father and my relatives scattered all over the world.

He misses his closest brothers so much, one living in the south and the other in the north, let alone his old mother.

My son got married a while ago, and my second and third brothers came home to visit, which almost made my old mother fall ill.

When people get old, no matter how successful their children are, what they want most is to have them take care of them by their bedside.

In comparison, his several sons are all gathered in front of him, and most of the credit goes to his second son.

Thinking of this, Li Shun breathed a sigh of relief, and rarely reached out to pat his son's knee, and nodded: "You are good, you are good."

"Dad, be more at ease"

Seeing his father sighing, Li Xuewu comforted him softly: "There are many storms in this world, but there will always be sunny days, and everything will pass."

"Ok, I know"

Li Shun patted his son's hand and nodded, "I'm not complaining, I'm just talking, speaking my mind."

The father and son looked at each other in silence for a moment. There were many words in their hearts that they couldn't say, and there was no need to say them.

His old father understands his hard work, and he understands his father's dedication. In this family, the father is loving, the sons are filial, the brothers are harmonious, and the relatives are worry-free. What is there to complain about?

The warm gatehouse was silent for a while, and Li Xuewu took the initiative to talk about his father's work: "Have the greenhouses on the mountain been set up?"

"Um"

Li Shun also calmed down according to his son's thoughts, and nodded slowly: "It burned before the frost came, and it was burned together with the vegetable shed."

This matter was brought up by Li Xuewu and Qi Yaowu. They had gained experience in growing light-free vegetables in the mine, and this year was just the right time to dig a greenhouse and grow off-season vegetables.

Compared to planting in mines, there are more options in greenhouses.

It is needed not only by the Chinese medicine hospital's medicinal material cultivation project, but also by the training grounds and bases on the mountain.

The reclamation area must first achieve self-sufficiency and then generate income and increase profits. Wei Santuan, who was raised by a stepmother, cannot be compared with his own son, but he cannot allow himself to degenerate.

Li Xuewu spends less time at the Wei San Regiment, but he still cares about the place as much as before.

He was in charge of the construction of the vegetable greenhouse area on the mountain, and invested in the construction of the training ground and recycling station. The Chinese medicine hospital also invested capital because it had projects.

The Wei San Regiment used its reclamation forces to complete the construction of the first phase of the greenhouse area before autumn.

There is no shortage of fuel on the mountain, and that small coal mine is really in good shape.

The missing bricks were made in the brick kiln in Hongxing Village, and the missing cement, glass, and greenhouse plastic were purchased at the foot of the mountain.

It is the result of coordination and joint efforts from many parties that we have achieved the little results on the mountain. If we plant properly and get a good harvest this year, we will have to step up our efforts to develop the reclamation area next year.

Most of the manpower of the Wei San Regiment is stationed in the mountains. The training intensity is very high. The continuous in-depth research on urban combat and anti-terrorism, anti-hijacking and other training subjects has increased the team's logistics pressure.

Qi Yaowu can see the rapid growth of the team while worrying about the logistical costs. It can be said that he is both a father and a mother.

Fortunately, the Wei San Regiment has many people, including Wang Xiaoqin and Li Xuewu who were merged from local areas, both of whom are capable.

Especially since Li Xuewu's father was still in the mountains, Li Xuewu planned many projects based on the first-hand perspective and first-hand information.

Listening to his father talk about many things on the mountain and comparing them with the information fed back from the training ground and the Third Regiment, Li Xuewu made up for the research he had not done in the mountain recently.

"I need to discuss this with you."

Li Xuewu moved his chair closer to his father and said softly, "As you know, the medical projects cooperating with the Chinese Medicine Hospital, including the Steel Rolling Mill and the Weisan Group, are underway."

"There is another situation that you may not know. The steel mill and Gangcheng Wufenghang are going to cooperate to build three food processing plants in Beijing."

“This is a big cooperation framework, including but not limited to food-related content.”

Li Xuewu looked into his father's eyes and said seriously: "The market in the port city, including the export market, is a huge opportunity."

“Why is your factory so radical?”

Li Shun frowned slightly as he looked at his son and said, "You're taking such a big step, aren't you afraid of breaking your balls?"

He was thinking that the steel plant itself was a heavy industrial enterprise, so why did it suddenly start to engage in the food industry?

He knew about the project on the mountain, so he wouldn't talk about it. It wouldn't matter if the food factory was a canned food factory. Although there had been early cooperation preparations, the sudden joining of the Hong Kong company still surprised Li Shun.

Li Shun is worried that under the current situation, the attitude towards the outside world is not very friendly, and the cooperation his son mentioned is not based on and aimed at traditional Chinese medicine hospitals.

He is an honest and hardworking person. As a person from a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, he is doing a project in the mountains with the support of the hospital, so naturally he has to consider the interests of his unit.

It was not difficult for him to understand from his son's words that the steel rolling mill was going to rely on capital from Hong Kong businessmen, build a factory in Beijing, and look to overseas markets.

If it is considered an honor for future generations that traditional Chinese medicine can go abroad and sell well overseas, at present, there is nothing to be proud of for Li Shun himself.

The Chinese people are not even able to use this benefit, so how can we give priority to supplying overseas markets for greater benefits?

"What do you think?"

Although Li Shun was drunk, his mind was clear. He looked at his son and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I said I was doing it to make money, but you still think I'm too utilitarian."

Li Xuewu looked at his father and said seriously, "But if I say that this is for the future of traditional Chinese medicine, will you think that I am making up an excuse to deceive you?"

"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hiding it?"

Li Shun looked at his son and nodded, saying, "I believe you."

With just this one sentence, Li Xuewu felt relieved and began to explain to his father.

The steel rolling mill is connected with the Weisan Regiment, the Chinese Medicine Hospital and other units, and is cooperating with Wufenghang to build an assembly line pharmaceutical factory. It seems to be capital seeking profits, but it is also a kind of market occupation.

In his explanation to his father, Li Xuewu emphasized the future of traditional Chinese medicine, including the future of Chinese medicine, and still used Western medicine for comparison.

Li Shun also listened carefully to his son's rebellious remarks and did not interrupt.

Just like his answer to his son just now, he believed that his son was not a fool, nor a madman.

The current status of traditional Chinese medicine is no different from that of Western medicine, but since Western medicine entered the mainland in the last century, its advanced treatment methods have been changing people's perceptions.

Take disembowelment as an example. This medical method was also used in ancient times, but it is rarely used in modern Chinese medicine.

The breakthroughs made by Western medicine in these methods are beyond the reach of traditional Chinese medicine.

In the promotion of Western medicine, some people have spared no effort to advocate and promote it. This is indeed the progress of science and technology, but it has also created obstacles to the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

Mr. Liang, one of the Six Gentlemen of the Wuxu Reform, used his life to defend Western medicine.

There was nothing wrong with his kidneys. According to historical records, it was just bacteria that were causing the problem, which could be cured by traditional Chinese medicine or antibiotics.

To be honest, the surgeon was a master surgeon at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, with superb medical skills. We can't really blame him. It was all because of the initial diagnosis that was wrong.

When Mr. Liang saw that his kidneys were smooth and free of lesions, what did he do in the face of his students' indignation?

Don't put an advertisement in the newspaper or make accusations, lest the Western medicine that has just been introduced into the country be thwarted by him.

Li Shun's medical skills are inherited from his family. His father used to be a doctor. There is still a plaque in the house to prove the past glory.

His understanding of Western medicine came from actually coming into contact with cases after entering the hospital. He had a personal experience of his son's concerns.

So when Li Xuewu thought in reverse and inferred the future of traditional Chinese medicine from marketization, Li Shun had to nod his head.

"Establishing a factory is the goal, and inheritance is the foundation"

Li Xuewu said softly: "Many people in the world pursue profit. If one day they lose their jobs, how many people will be able to devote themselves to studying Chinese medicine?"

Li Shun raised his head slightly, frowning, and said, "The Gu family can't even see so far. This burden is quite heavy. You are not a doctor, so why bother yourself?"

"I am a fame-seeker, so I don't see the pain."

Li Xuewu smiled and ignored the worry in his father's words. He still defended himself, "If everyone can afford Chinese medicine, it will be a small achievement for me."

Li Shun glanced at his son, a slight smile appeared on his face, and asked, "So, what do you want to do?"

"prescription"

Li Xuewu said seriously: "I know you can get those prescriptions from the Chinese medicine hospital."

"There must be rules for taking"

Li Shun didn't pay attention to his son's choice of words. He straightened his body, looked at his son and waited for his next words.

Li Xuewu nodded and responded: "You can ask for the prescription according to the needs of the project. I guarantee that the steel rolling mill will fully respect the rights and interests of the Chinese medicine hospital in the cooperation project."

Li Shun glanced at his son and reminded him: "This is official business."

“It’s just business.”

Li Xuewu nodded seriously and confirmed: "The situation is difficult and tense. If we don't take action, those prescriptions..."

"I see"

Li Shun interrupted his son, stood up with the help of the edge of the kang, and said, "Just wait for the news."

This was the first time that his father agreed to his request so readily. Li Xuewu looked at his father's back, speechless for a moment.

Maybe they felt that he had matured, was methodical in his work, and was more reliable, so they didn't have to worry about him anymore.

Or maybe it was because of what he had just said that touched his father, causing him to give up his face and break the rules to seek those precious but neglected prescriptions.

These prescriptions were collected in large quantities when he offered medical advice in the 1950s. This time when he came back, at his son's request, Li Shun really planned to take these materials to the mountain.

The situation in the city was so shocking just from what he had heard that he did not dare to think too much about it, let alone that his son had found a place for these treasures that could benefit the public.

Even at his old age, his son still wanted to do something for Chinese medicine, but he was afraid of that.

Fuck it.

"I'm not sick"

Sha Zhu looked at his wife and sister with helplessness and amusement.

He had just woken up in the afternoon and saw Uncle Li sitting on the kang in his house.

My wife was standing by with her big belly, her eyes full of worry, while my sister was whispering something to Uncle Li.

“There’s really nothing wrong with me”

Seeing that no one in the room paid attention to him, Sha Zhu emphasized again and looked at Uncle Li to confirm: "Uncle, I'm in good health."

"Ok, I know"

Li Shun's expression was also very calm, and he didn't act very serious. He had just taken Sha Zhu's pulse.

He had just woken up and his heart was beating very fast, so he naturally couldn't cry anymore.

However, Li Shun had already integrated the methods of observation, listening, questioning and palpation into his daily communication.

Nodding in response to Yu Shui's explanation and calming Sha Zhu's emotions, Li Shun began to talk about what happened in the yard during the time he was away from home.

They were just chatting about family matters. Sha Zhu was a little hesitant and defensive at first, but when he saw Uncle Li giving him acupuncture or asking him about medicine, he let down his guard.

Of course he was willing to chat, especially when Uncle Li, who was rarely seen, came to his house, and he talked about all sorts of nonsense.

From the departure of Lao Biaozi, to the death of Yan Jiecheng, and then to the transfer of Liu Guangtian in the backyard to the Northeast, many families in this courtyard have changed.

Sha Zhu's house is located in the main house in the central courtyard. He has ears to the people around him and hears all kinds of gossip all day long.

Li Shun also examined him while chatting with him. Before Sha Zhu finished talking about what happened in the backyard, he had already prescribed a prescription.

"Nothing, just a little angry."

Amid Shazhu's astonishment and Diliya and Yu Shui's nervousness, he said bluntly: "You just meddle in other people's business too much."

"..."

Sha Zhu was just questioning whether he was sick or not, but he didn't expect Uncle Li to give him a critical hit.

“I said he was idle.”

Yu Shui was trying to comfort her brother in various ways at this moment. She seemed dissatisfied, but in fact she was advising him not to think too much.

"Stop talking and carry the box for me."

Diliya patted her sister-in-law gently, telling her to stop talking, and glanced at Sha Zhu with concern, indicating the hidden meaning of Uncle Li's words.

Yu Shui was reminded by her sister-in-law and took the initiative to help Uncle Li carry the medicine box. She left the inner room while Sha Zhu was stunned.

"Uncle, my brother..."

After going out the door and into the yard, which was a little further away from home, Yu Shui finally asked.

Li Shun waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking too much and my liver is irritated."

As he spoke, he tapped his temple and reminded Yu Shui: "Why don't you say he is idle? Just find him something to do."

“It really scared me.”

Yu Shui said with some fear: "He was nagging in my room until midnight last night. I thought my mother was possessed by him."

"Nonsense~"

Li Shun knew about this, but he never talked about it. The doctor was also a disciple of Confucius, who did not talk about strange things.

"Prepare some medicine for him later. Remember to have him drink it at night after it's done. It can calm his nerves and wake his brain. Just observe for a few more days."

“We still need to find him something to do.”

Li Shun glanced at Yu Shui and reminded him, "Don't leave him idle."

"Okay, uncle, I got it."

Yu Shui nodded and said, "My sister-in-law is not feeling well right now, so let her do all the work in the store."

She was really bold. Yu Shui was not afraid of tiring her brother out. After sending Uncle Li home, she turned around and went to find Xiaoyan.

I don't know how it was arranged, but the sales department was happy to get a free strong laborer. Not only do we not have to worry about over-use, but the man's family is also quite happy about it.

Li Xuewu watched Sha Zhu being ordered around by Xiaoyan and the others, and he and Shen Guodong, who were standing in the back room, laughed out loud.

"Brother Wu, I have something to tell you."

Shen Guodong couldn't help but touch his forehead, and said with a smirk: "Da Qiangzi's communication to this side was intercepted by Zhao Laosi."

"When did it happen?"

Li Xuewu frowned slightly as he looked at his appearance. The matter in Jicheng had just been settled, so he shouldn't bring trouble to the capital.

The treatment of Zhang Wanhe had nothing to do with the second generation of bandits in Beijing, and Li Xuewu had no intention of bringing harm to his wife and children.

"I heard that Dachun wrote the letter first."

Shen Guodong scratched his chin and explained: "I don't know how he heard about Jicheng and wrote to Daqiangzi."

"The letter said that he didn't expect that Daqiangzi, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, would betray the shopkeeper. He is despicable and shameless."

"And in Daqiangzi's reply, there is another statement."

"Da Qiangzi complained that Dachun was the first to betray Zhang Wanhe. He felt very aggrieved and even accused Dachun of slander."

Shen Guodong looked at Li Xuewu strangely and asked, "Brother Wu, do you know about this?"

Li Xuewu recalled the buckle he made for Da Qiangzi in Jicheng. It seemed that Dachun and others had really surrendered to him as he said.

This... is so embarrassing~
What can he say about the war of words between Dachun and Daqiangzi?
"Well, I don't know!"
