111 Return from a Long Journey
At the end of the month, Mei Niang finally met her husband and nephew after being separated for half a month.
My husband was supporting a gentle middle-aged man.
"My dear, this is the military doctor Sun that I often mentioned to you. He retired this time and I took him home. From now on, he will be our uncle."
Mei Niang bowed quickly and said, "Uncle, my husband often mentions you. Without you, he would have died long ago."
Sun Hongyu's heart calmed down immediately.
In fact, he had already made up his mind that if Lady Changsheng did not despise him, he would live not far away from them and would never live with them by taking advantage of his seniority.
It is inconvenient for young people and I feel uncomfortable too. Even the best relationships will eventually fade away over time.
If he was unwilling, he would immediately go to Baicaotang. With his medical skills and status as a clan member, it would not be difficult for him to find a job.
"Ping An's mother, you can't say that. We are all in the military camp, so it's only right for us to help each other."
"Uncle, let's go in." Wan Changsheng looked around the room, "Madam, isn't Ping An at home?"
"Husband, Ping An is studying with the master in the main courtyard in the morning. Xiao Wu will take them to Baicaotang to learn medicine in the afternoon. They will be back in the evening."
Mei Niang wanted to arrange for Uncle Sun to live in the west room, but Sun Hongyu refused and insisted on living in the wing room in the main courtyard. He knew that Ping An's people all lived there.
The small courtyard where Wan Changsheng lived was originally a guest house of the medicine manor and was not very big.
The main house has three large rooms, one on the east and one on the west. The middle one is the living room, and there are two small rooms at the back, one of which is where Erqiang lives, and the other is a warehouse.
There are two rooms on the left side of the wing. One is currently occupied by Tong Miao, and the other is empty, so Sun Shu can live there.
The west wing has two rooms, one for the kitchen and one for the dining room, and there are small courtyards in the front and back.
The front yard is quite spacious and has a well, while the backyard has a chicken coop, a toilet and a washroom.
It’s really full.
"Changsheng, I will live with those children. If there are any children studying medicine, I can teach them."
On the way, when he couldn't sleep at night in the inn, Wan Changsheng chatted with him about these things bit by bit, and he also knew that the eldest master actually gave Ping An ten people.
As a master, it is rare for him to treat his apprentice like this, which makes him want to see this child even more.
Seeing that Uncle Sun insisted, Wan Changsheng decided to let him do as he pleased. In a few days, their family would go to the Medicine Valley for a while.
The eldest son once told him to let them live in the main courtyard, but of course he would not do that.
Let the main courtyard be empty. What's wrong with guests living in the host's room?
Those children also lived in the side rooms.
But Uncle Sun is different. He is a member of the Sun family and a relative of the eldest son’s father’s generation. It is okay for him to live in the west room in the front yard.
That was the guest room.
What's more, my wife is pregnant, and Uncle Sun must be very busy living here.
On the contrary, there are two women in the main courtyard who are dedicated to taking care of the children's food, clothing, housing and transportation, so this is indeed feasible.
Wan Changsheng nodded in agreement, convinced his wife, and took Uncle Sun to the main courtyard to settle down. Sun Hongyu was very satisfied with this arrangement. The two women immediately boiled water for him to wash.
"Changsheng, you should go back and wash up. I am very comfortable living here. Tomorrow you can accompany me to visit Baicao Hall and meet the eldest master."
"Hey, uncle, I'll pick you up for dinner."
"Okay, it's just tonight, and starting tomorrow, I will have dinner with these kids. Don't interrupt me. I'll treat you as my own children since I can come back with you.
But you also know that I am used to being alone, and it is inconvenient to be so close to you and see you every day without having to eat three meals a day together."
"Okay, let's talk about this later. Maybe we can go to Medicine Valley and stay there for a while in a few days."
Erqiang had already washed up and went to the river to wash clothes. His aunt was already pregnant, so she certainly couldn't be tired with these little things.
This time Ping An was able to let his elder brother go to Baicaotang to learn skills. He was extremely grateful and wished he could practice Kung Fu to the best right away so that he could become the best master beside Ping An and protect him at all times.
Studying medicine or accounting are both great things. If it's not Ping An, my brother will never have such an opportunity. It's not far from home and he can go back once or twice a month.
The two brothers can't be too far away from their family, otherwise they won't be able to take care of them when something happens.
The moment Sun Hongyu saw Ping An, he thought to himself, how could there be such a smart child in the world, so beautiful that one could not help but smile.
No wonder Changsheng likes this stepson so much.
"Uncle, Ping'an greets you." Ping'an's voice was clear and graceful.
Wan Changsheng grinned smugly. As soon as he saw Uncle Sun's expression, he knew that Uncle Sun also liked this child.
"Okay, okay, Ping'an, this is a gift from your uncle." Sun Hongyu handed a crossbow to Ping'an.
"Uncle, this is the crossbow you have treasured for many years." Wan Changsheng was a little excited.
"Ping An, next, this crossbow was indeed given to me by the general. I once saved several important lieutenants, and the general was so happy that he gave me this crossbow. Now that I am old, I will give it to you."
Ping An raised the corners of his lips and took it with both hands: "Thank you, uncle, I like it very much and will practice hard in the future."
He really likes this crossbow. It is smaller than a bow, but it is quite explosive.
"Safe." Erqiang went around the village and talked to his friends, so he came back a little late.
"Second cousin, are you tired from the journey?"
"I'm not tired. I'm just riding in the car."
"Second cousin, are you happy to be home?"
Er Qiang laughed foolishly: "Of course I am happy, safe, I miss you too, I miss home here, I miss you when I go home, ah."
Several people laughed.
"Dad, Master said that if you come back, he will let you go to Baicaotang to find him."
"What's up?"
Ping An told his master that he wanted him to serve tea to the gentleman.
"Oh, that's as it should be. Mr. Sun loves you very much. It just so happens that I will go with your uncle tomorrow. You don't know that your uncle and your master are actually relatives."
The next day, at the beginning of the morning hour, without waiting for Sun Wen to come over, Wan Changsheng took Uncle Sun to Baicaotang.
Sun Sicheng also knew that Wan Changsheng would be back in a day or two, so he came to the medical clinic early.
I found that Wan Changsheng was already waiting in the front hall to talk to Lao Ge.
"Brother Wan, are you back?"
"I came back yesterday afternoon, young master. This is military doctor Sun Hongyu. He just retired this year and came with me this time."
Sun Sicheng's eyes lit up: "Uncle, I saw you when I was a child, but you probably don't remember it."
Sun Hongyu laughed and said, "I remember, but you were only seven or eight years old at that time. I was about the same age as you are now, but I am old now."
"You're not old, not old, uncle. It's good that you're back. Just live with me." This uncle is the most capable one among the Sun family's branch and has been in the military camp for twenty years.
"That's not necessary. I live with Changsheng. I came here today to see you and to tell you that I am now staying in your medicine shop."
"Uncle, if you are willing to live in the manor, that's fine. What are your plans for the future? Do you want to come here and be a doctor?"
"Let's talk about it later. I heard from Changsheng that they might go to live in the valley for a few months. In that case, I'll go with them. When they come back and you need me, I'll come over and be your doctor."
