The news of Gu Maolin's return to the team came suddenly, catching his godfather Dong Pianfang off guard.
The next day he went to purchase asbestos tiles and masonry materials early in the morning. When he came back from the market, he saw Wang Ke giving Gu Maolin a haircut. Only then did he learn that Gu Maolin would return to the army the next day, and he suddenly became a little confused.
In fact, when Gu Maolin came to Nanshao Village, he lived in his small factory for more than half of the time, taking care of the factory and nursing home, including when he was trial-producing products, and he stayed with him at all times. Yesterday, they were still talking about Gu Maolin's return to his Dong's Natural Rubber Factory in the future. Today, he found out that he would return to the army, and his heart suddenly became heavy.
"Do you have to leave?"
"Yes, godfather!" Wang Ke replied.
"Child, damn, kill a chicken." Godfather Dong Pianfang was stunned for a long time before he said these words and stomped back to the house.
Ye Xianxian went to the construction site early in the morning after meeting with the Communist Youth League secretary, and has not come back yet.
Wang Ke took a special leave and was at home today to help Gu Maolin pack and say goodbye to his godfather and his family.
Zheng Qiang and others in the east courtyard are very busy and don't know what is happening here. Now the clinic's business is extremely good. Every morning when there are many patients seeking medical treatment, it can basically treat about 20 people.
Today, the two liver cancer patients are here again, and Zheng Qiang is currently undergoing follow-up consultation there.
Wang Ke saw that his godfather Dong Pianfang was unhappy and did not dare to speak loudly. After quickly helping Gu Maolin tidy up his head, the two men cleaned the pig pen and donkey pen again, pushed a few more carts of soil, and padded the pig pen.
While they were having fun, godfather Dong Pianfang came out of the house, holding a cardboard box in his hand. He said to two people: "Come here!"
Wang Ke quickly called Gu Maolin over and entered the main room. One called "Godfather" and the other "Uncle Dong".
Dong Pianfang handed the paper box to Gu Maolin, "Xiao Guzi, you are leaving, and Uncle Dong doesn't have anything to give you. I will give you the wolfberry I processed and keep it for soaking in water."
"Wolfberry?" Wang Ke knew that there was a couplet called "A dog rides on a (wolfberry) tree under the wolfberry tree", but he had never seen a real wolfberry, so this thing must be very precious.
"Yes, wolfberry is particularly good at improving eyesight, commonly known as brightening the eyes. We Chinese medicine practitioners often use wolfberry to treat dim vision and night blindness caused by insufficient liver blood and kidney yin deficiency. This is very good for your eyes!"
As soon as godfather Dong Pianfang finished speaking, Wang Ke's heart immediately became clear. It turned out that godfather Dong Pianfang had known for a long time that Gu Maolin's eyes were different! Otherwise, why don’t you give me anything else but wolfberry?
"Thank you godfather, but I can't accept this gift." Wang Ke said.
Dong Pianfang glared at Wang Ke and said, "It's not given to you. What are you talking about?"
Dong Pianfang opened the lid of the box and poured a little dried wolfberry into his palm. All of them were bright red like agate, just like raisins.
"Xiao Guzi, these wolfberries have been roasted with my own traditional Chinese medicine. You can soak ten of them every day, or you can chew them dry. After finishing this box, your eyes will reach a new level."
As soon as he heard that it was good for the eyes, Gu Maolin reached out and wanted to take it, but when he saw Wang Ke's eyes, he immediately retracted his hand. "Uncle Dong, our army has discipline and does not take advantage of the masses."
"Xiao Guzi, am I a member of the masses? I am Wang Ke's godfather. Your squad leader's father gave it to you, how dare you refuse it?"
Gu Maolin was dumbfounded. This made sense.
"Xiao Guzi, please remember my words from now on. Don't smoke in this life. Smoking will destroy your eyes. Also, when your eyes feel uncomfortable, you can't eat irritating things, including beef and mutton."
"yes!"
These words were so useful that Gu Maolin did not smoke and went to the battlefield with squad leader Wang Ke. He would rather go hungry than eat vegetables with peppers and ginger.
"Uncle Dong now orders you to accept it."
"yes!"
Gu Maolin held the box of wolfberry, feeling very excited as if he had found a treasure. He opened the lid of the box and looked at it with squad leader Wang Ke.
At this time, there was another noise from the east courtyard, and the sound was quite loud.
The three people looked at each other, and Dong Pianfang walked out immediately.
Dong's clinic has just opened. They are all neighbors from all over the country and are ordinary people. Doctor-patient disputes must not be allowed to occur.
The three people came to the clinic, only to see Zheng Qiang still shouting: "Be brave, try standing up and see if it still hurts?"
I saw a middle-aged man standing up shakily with his hands on the table, and a group of people around him encouraged him loudly.
"Wait a minute." Godfather Dong Pianfang shouted, and quickly stepped forward to support the patient. "Lie down, lie down, don't hold on."
Godfather Dong Pianfang glared at Zheng Qiang, and then said to the people around him: "People who have been ill for a long time have muscle atrophy, stiff bones, and sudden changes in body position can cause blood vessel embolism, which will be a big trouble."
"Master." Zheng Qiang knew that he had gotten into trouble. Just now, he only thought of encouraging patients who had improved to stand up to prove the efficacy of Dong's clinic, but he did not know how to rush for success after heaps of difficulties were accumulated. When the master said this in front of everyone, it was like an enlightenment, and I suddenly understood.
Dong Pianfang ignored Zheng Qiang, but put three fingers together on the patient's left wrist, checked the patient's pulse for a while, and then raised his head, "Are you the one with a bad liver?"
As soon as this statement came out, several relatives around him immediately nodded like chickens pecking at rice. This is a master, and they didn't even ask.
"How long have you been lying in bed? Half a year?" People around him started pecking at the rice again. Even the pulse number can tell the time.
Dong Pianfang lifted up the patient's clothes and pressed on his stomach. Then he frowned, rolled the patient's eyelids, looked at his tongue, and then continued: "Although there is improvement, there are still stubborn diseases. We must thoroughly treat them." There is currently no good way to treat it.”
When several people around him heard this, they immediately became anxious again. Originally, he was waiting to die when he was brought back from the hospital. But since taking medicine here a week ago, the patient has improved greatly. Not only can he sit up, but he can also eat. I just stood up for the first time in half a year, why did I say I couldn’t do it again?
Dong Pianfang sighed. If it weren't for this person's good foundation, he might be gone by now.
He glanced at everyone, and when he saw Wang Ke, Dong Pianfang suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Wang Ke last night. "Well, at present, Western medicine and Chinese medicine are not very sure about this disease, but I have an ancient prescription. Maybe the ancestors were virtuous and it will produce miracles. Can it work? Let's try it?"
"Okay!" Everyone around, including the patients on the ground, agreed.
If the apprentice can get better, the master can definitely do it! Even if there is only a little hope now, we cannot let it go.
After thinking about it for a while, Dong Pianfang picked up the pen on the table and wrote a recipe: Aesculus aesculata, Trigonellae, Curcuma, Salvia, Leech, Wangbuliu, Pangolin, raw oyster, Adenophora, female. Sadako, agrimony...
"With five barrels of 'Medicine Introduction' and fifty pounds of 'Basic Liquid', you must treat it according to my requirements!"
"Okay!" It was probably an older brother of the patient. Without saying anything, he took out a handful of money, probably a few hundred yuan, and slapped it on the table.
"Doctor Dong, this is five hundred yuan. Although you don't know us, we all know you. If we can cure him, our whole family will sell our house and land, no problem!"
"Come on, come on, brother, take the money back. We have to collect the money for the medicine, but we should charge as much as we should. You don't have to give more!" Dong's folk prescription returned the money to the family member. Since I prescribed the medicine for half a month, I only received 108 yuan.
Wang Ke and Gu Maolin had already carried more than fifty kilograms of "basic liquid" from the water room, with a bottle of honey in it as usual.
Next, godfather Dong Pianfang went into battle personally and quickly diagnosed several patients, some of whom didn't even charge a penny. He was given a remedy and sent back.
Back in the small side room, Gu Maolin stretched out his thumb and said to Wang Ke, "Squad leader, Uncle Dong is awesome."
"That's right, Mao Lin, do you know what Uncle Dong's original name is? His original name is Dong Pian. Because he is good at treating patients, especially single prescriptions and folk remedies, people call him Dong Pian Fang."
"Ah, Uncle Dong still has this story."
"Maolin, there is heaven outside the world, and there are people outside the world. We must remember at all times that there is no end to learning."
"Yup."
Wang Ke glared at Gu Maolin. It was really hard to change his mantra now.
"Monitor, have you finished writing your letter?"
"No, I'll give it to you when you leave tomorrow morning. Pay attention to these letters and don't let anyone see them."
"Oh... I understand, don't worry, squad leader." Gu Maolin smiled evilly again, knowing that the squad leader didn't want anyone to see it.
"Where's Xiao Gu? I heard you're leaving tomorrow?" Professor Wen's voice sounded at the door, followed by Ye Qianqian and Sister Cuilan. Wang Ke guessed that it must be Professor Wen who was asked by his godfather Dong Pianfang to call Sister Cuilan. He wanted to call for wine again at noon today.
"Daddy Wen, yes, we are planning to say goodbye to you after dinner." Wang Ke immediately answered for Gu Maolin.
"No need, Lao Dong has asked Cuilan to call me over. Xiaogu, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
"Reporting to Professor Wen, the army has informed us that this year's training mission is different from previous years and is heavier."
"I know, I know." Professor Wen pointed towards the south with his hand, "Isn't it that it doesn't make people worry about it?"
Professor Wen's words made Wang Ke suddenly wake up. Yes, before, the troops would go to Xishan for training every year, but the training did not start as early as this year. The personnel must be neat and orderly. Is there really going to be a war?
Gu Maolin didn't react and said with a smile: "I'm telling Professor Wen that it is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders."
"Well, that's well said. Come on, Xiaogu, this is one hundred yuan. You can take the little subsidy we give you." After saying that, Professor Wen took out a stack of ten yuan notes for workers, peasants and soldiers from his pocket. Great Unity" comes.
"No, Professor Wen, our army has discipline and does not take advantage of the masses."
"This is not given to you by me, but by our team as a living allowance."
"Daddy Wen, that won't work either." Wang Ke stopped him decisively. This was different from the wolfberry just now. This was discipline.
"Well, let's do this. By the way, go buy me four bottles of wine, and we'll have a farewell party for Xiao Gu!" Gu Maolin made a huge contribution to the excavation of the ancient river channel, and all Professor Wen's thanks came from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay!" Ye Xian just took the money and left.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Wang Ke wanted to chase after him, but Professor Wen reached out to stop him.
