Parents are busy farming

Ye Zifen stepped out, mounted a horse as lightly as a bird, and galloped in the direction of the old doctor.

In the past, when she and Ye Zimeng were with them in the caravan, others hardly had to worry about medical treatment.

But since the two of them left, the old doctor has been working hard.

Because of this, Ye Zifen often went to visit him.

This old man who has gone through many vicissitudes of life is like a wise man's book, reading all the world affairs and having insight into people's hearts.

Whenever Ye Zifen feels depressed, she will come to his small fenced yard to seek solace.

Gradually, a deep friendship was established between them as both teachers and friends.

Ye Zifen slowly tied the horse to the thick tree at the door. Before she could turn around and leave, an old and deep voice suddenly came from the fence. It seemed that the old man had already understood everything, like a fairy who predicted the unknown. Come to earth.

"You little girl are here now. You must have made a special trip to say goodbye to me!"

Ye Zifen was curious and hurriedly turned around to look in, only to see the respected old doctor bending over and concentrating on playing with the baskets of precious medicinal materials that he had carefully dried.

She gently pushed open the fence door, stepped into the courtyard with light steps, and then sat quietly on a small and exquisite bamboo bench.

"Yes! In addition, I would like to ask you, do you need my help to sell these medicinal materials in exchange for some money?"

When the old man heard this, he quickly waved his hands, like a frightened beautiful butterfly, its wings trembling slightly.

Said: "Don't bother Ms. Ye! It's just a few herbs. The quantity is very rare. How can it be sold for so much? It's better to save some effort. I just took advantage of the sunshine today to move them out and reveal them." Just breathe and get some sunshine!"

After hearing this, Ye Zifen raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Drying medicinal materials in the cold winter months is really rare."

The old doctor suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his eyes were as round as two copper bells. He retorted angrily: "The climate in winter is cold, but the air is dry. What's wrong with this?"

However, Ye Zifen was not intimidated by the opponent's momentum. She immediately stepped forward and responded tit for tat: "No matter how dry it is, this place is still located on the seaside. The humidity is heavy, so how dry can it be?" To what extent?"

At this moment, the two of them were like innocent children, neither of them willing to give in even a little bit, insisting on trying to see who could stare at each other longer.

The elderly doctor's eyes were unbearably dry and he was obviously no match for the teenage Ye Zifen.

He said reluctantly: "Okay, okay, I don't have the same experience as you, so be careful to pop your eyes out."

Hearing this, Ye Zifen quickly blinked and let his eyes rest for a while.

Then, she snorted triumphantly: "Huh! You just can't beat me!" She also muttered in her mouth.

The old doctor walked over slowly, sat down next to Ye Zifen, and said earnestly: "Little girl, don't be so sharp-tongued, or you may not be able to get married in the future!"

Ye Zifen argued without hesitation: "So what if I can't get married? Aren't you living alone? But I think your life is still very comfortable. What's more, I have both money and With friends in the company, what else is there to be afraid of?”

When the old doctor heard this, he immediately became energetic and replied: "Hey! How can you, a little girl, be on the same level as me? Back then, I was married and had a wife, but it was a pity that the woman Fortune is shallow but fate is poor..."

Before he finished speaking, he was abruptly interrupted by Ye Zifen: "Okay! Let's stop it! Why mention those sad things again and again and add pain to yourself. I don't know when you started to learn to hold on. To save face, be so ruthless to yourself.”

Faced with the questioning of the person in front of him, the old doctor was speechless for a moment and had no words to answer. He could only point his finger helplessly at Ye Zifen.

It is obvious that this old doctor is a deeply affectionate person. If not, how could he have been alone in the empty boudoir for decades?

You know, as a doctor, you can rely on your excellent skills to make a living, and you can have enough food and clothing no matter where you are.

How could such an outstanding person not be able to find a good wife?

Even if you are a widower, there must be many women who are willing to marry!

Once upon a time, Ye Zifen also tried to find out the detailed information about the old doctor from the people around him.

But he never got what he wanted and gained very little.

But whatever, since the old doctor claimed that his wife had passed away a long time ago, she could just accept it.

At this moment, Ye Zifen moved to the clay stove, took off the kettle placed on top, and filled a cup of fragrant tea for herself. Then she gently picked up the tea cup and used the lid to gently stir the tea leaves floating in the cup.

"You can go to my house to spend the Chinese New Year! There are a few people over there who won't go back, so it would be more lively if we all celebrate the Chinese New Year together."

Ye Zifen lowered his head and spoke softly, as if he was not talking to the old doctor, but more like talking to himself.

The old doctor stared at the petite figure in front of him, feeling a warm current surge in his heart for no reason.

He shook his head slightly and said slowly: "No, little girl, I am used to spending the New Year alone. You young people will be happier when you get together. Please say hello to your father for me when you go back." "

Ye Zifen nodded silently to express his understanding.

In fact, the old doctor had already heard the news of Wang Tinghe's death, but when he mentioned it at this moment, he still couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Speaking of your father, it reminds me of the time when he brought your mother to seek medical treatment. At that time, your mother's physical condition was already in poor condition. It is a miracle that she was able to sustain it for so long. "

The old doctor's eyes gradually became deeper, as if he was seeing the past scenes through time.

Ye Zifen asked curiously: "With your temper, why did you go to see them two back then?"

The old doctor smiled slightly and said slowly: "It's all because of your father's good intentions and full of infatuation! And his heavy-weight promise. Your father is a serious gentleman!"

Hearing this, Ye Zifen was shocked. She never thought that the old doctor would give such a high evaluation to her father.

In her mind, her father Ye Yongwang is just a man who has gone through many vicissitudes of life and has good luck.

After a moment of silence, Ye Zifen responded thoughtfully: "A gentleman? Maybe... he is indeed a gentleman."

There seems to be still a trace of doubt and confusion between the words, but more of it is a re-examination and thinking about his father.
