046Prepare gifts
Sun Sicheng immediately began to prepare invitations, schedule a banquet, and asked Jixiang to notify the Wan family.
I originally wanted to buy some clothes and jewelry for each of the Wan family members, but then I thought better of it, as it would be bad if it hurt the self-esteem of the Wan brothers and their spouses.
The Wan family is just ordinary people, so this is nothing.
When Mei Niang heard Jixiang say that her husband had gone to work today, she felt a little panicked. The apprenticeship banquet would be held the day after tomorrow, so there were only two days left: today and tomorrow.
My husband doesn't have any decent clothes. As a woman, she doesn't need to attend such occasions. My son has new clothes, but shouldn't he wear festive colors at a banquet like that?
Ping An saw that his mother was a little panicked, so he said to Jixiang, "Brother Jixiang, go back and tell the master that we know. We will go to Baicaotang in the city the day after tomorrow morning."
"Okay, Master Ping An, I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow morning."
As soon as Jixiang left, Mei Niang hurriedly said, "Son, you should call your father back. The new clothes I made for you are just for daily wear. Don't you have to buy red clothes for weddings?"
Ping An almost tripped over himself: "Mom, please don't. I will wear the new clothes you made. In two days, you can make one for Dad. It doesn't have to be fancy. If you don't have shoes, buy some. Do you want to buy one for yourself?"
Mei Niang smiled and said, "There's no need for a woman like me to attend such an event. Besides, I don't want to go. I can't say anything in front of so many people, and it would be embarrassing for you and your father. Don't shake your head. I won't say anything. I have to ask Erqiang to call your father back. The apprenticeship gift must be prepared."
Ping An nodded and said, "Second cousin, go and call my father. Why don't you wait until after the apprenticeship banquet to do anything? There is no need to rush in the next two days. Just tell him so."
Erqiang nodded and disappeared.
Mei Niang was also in a hurry to look for her own cloth. Her skill in making clothes was quite good and it was enough for her to make clothes for her husband in two days. There was no need to buy new shoes. She bought two pairs for the wedding and had a pair of summer shoes that she had not worn yet.
I have to embroider a purse, but unfortunately there are no jewelry.
They only have over a hundred pieces, and the better jewelry is too expensive and beyond their reach. So they decide to just be honest country folk.
Ping'an also thought about it. The master was very good to him, and his parents could only prepare some simple gifts for him, after all, the family was poor.
I have thousands of good recipes in my mind that are not available in this dynasty, and any one of them would amaze the world.
What can I take out? And how can I take it out?
I'm just a child.
Ping An will think about it and will slowly come up with some prescriptions after five to ten years. Of course, at that time he can only say that he figured them out himself.
If you want to give it as a gift nowadays, you need to have the most suitable reason.
Got it.
He quickly returned to his room, took out an old piece of paper from his father's bookcase, and wrote two prescriptions in light ink, including the uses of the two prescriptions, in the most authentic small regular script.
Just this word alone is not something he can write now.
One is the Quick-acting Heart-saving Pill, and the other is the Compound Danshen Pill, both of which are used for heart disease.
Didn’t Master say that one of the reasons for coming to the capital this time was to cure a little girl’s heart disease?
Isn't this just what he wants? The best gift is to give to the heart. For a doctor, what could be better than a prescription?
Especially if you are going to use it yourself?
Although these two prescriptions cannot truly cure heart disease, they have a good control effect and the ingredients are not expensive, so any family with a slightly better condition can afford it.
It can be said to be a prescription worth a thousand gold.
It was just right to take it out this time to become a disciple. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was right.
Ping An made up a story for himself.
I will tell my parents later that I helped an old man while collecting firewood in the mountains last autumn. The old man suddenly suffered a heart attack and collapsed to the ground. His medicine bottle fell outside the abbot's room, so I just walked over to pick up the medicine for him and gave it to him.
Unexpectedly, the old man took out a piece of paper from his bosom and gave it to him, saying that he had no money, so he gave him two prescriptions.
I continued teaching him for two days.
I just remembered it when I was reading medical books these two days, so I gave it to my master as a gift.
This makes sense.
Since he was six years old, he often went to the hills behind to collect firewood alone, because his mother was sometimes really busy.
If you want to do something, let the stepfather do it first, so that both father and son can save face.
As for whether his mother should go to the banquet or not, he would let the couple discuss it themselves and he would not force them.
If the master only invites a small number of colleagues and there are not many female guests, then only the father and son can participate.
Wan Changsheng hurried home with Erqiang. On the way, he heard from Erqiang that he also knew the cause of the incident.
As soon as I got home, I saw my wife washing cloth.
"I want to make you a new set of clothes. What do you think of this color? Light blue is also elegant. Ping An said he doesn't want red."
Wan Changsheng asked, "What are you doing for me? Don't you make new clothes for your wedding?"
"You are silly. It is almost the beginning of June and the weather is getting warmer. Those are spring clothes and the thick material is not suitable. I was planning to make you a new one, but I was busy making them for the two children.
My husband, Jixiang suddenly said that the eldest master has decided to hold a banquet the day after tomorrow, so we need to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony."
Wan Changsheng said, "I will go to the city this afternoon to meet the eldest master. Given our family's financial situation, we can just prepare the six ordinary gifts. Do you think that's okay?"
"Okay, husband, we still have two strips of bacon, they look good, smell good, would you like to buy some more fresh meat? I'll make some more jerky and put it in a jar to give away."
Her son taught her how to make this jerky. It’s delicious and can be stored in many containers.
As for how her son came up with the idea, Mei Niang thought it was nothing. Her son was a very smart man, so it was not surprising that he came up with this idea.
"Okay, I'll go now and help you later. I've already told Master Lu that I'll go the day after tomorrow. He also knows about the apprenticeship banquet and said it's a very important matter."
When he left the room safely, he realized that his father had gone to the city again.
Never mind. It’s not too late to talk about it tomorrow. I’ll be your apprentice the morning after tomorrow.
Wan Changsheng went straight to the city. In addition to the gift of becoming a disciple, he also wanted the eldest master to help him and, if necessary, to use medicine to adjust the condition.
He still wanted to have one or two more children of his own, but only one would be safe and sound, and would be lonely in the future without any brothers or sisters.
But in this case, he had to tell his wife everything. The medicine cost money, and he gave all his money to his wife.
And I couldn't hide the fact that I was going back to take medicine.
Besides, he didn't want to keep this matter a secret from his wife forever. If she found out about it over time, it would ruin their relationship.
Also, if Mei Niang doesn't get pregnant after one or two years, she will definitely blame herself for not giving birth, which will also hurt people's feelings.
The mule cart soon stopped at the gate of Baicaotang. After tying up the mule, Wan Changsheng went to find the eldest son.
Sun Sicheng had just asked Jixiang to go out and deliver the invitations. This matter could not be delayed any longer. If they were not delivered this morning, they would have to wait until tomorrow morning. The banquet would be the next day, which would be impolite.
Sun Yat-sen had just returned and he was also sent by him to order a banquet. This time, time was limited, so he did not plan to hold a large banquet, but he still invited more than ten people, so there were two or three tables.
Ruyi was sent out to prepare some necessary things for the banquet.
I looked up and saw Lao Ge coming over.
"Master, there is a man outside who claims to be the father of your apprentice. He wants to see you."
"Oh? Invite him over right away. By the way, Lao Ge, after the guests leave, bring your kid over. I have something to tell you."
Shopkeeper Ge was delighted: "I understand, young master."
His son is ten years old this year and has been working as a waiter in the pharmacy for two years. The eldest son has never expressed his opinion and he is unsure about it. This time, it seems that his son has a promising future.
