Shen Ruomei suddenly fell silent.
"What's wrong? Weren't you just talking nonstop?" Shen Changchuan asked his daughter.
"Dad, I want to study traditional Chinese medicine in the future. Could you find me some books to read?" Shen Ruomei was very anxious when she saw her father fall ill, feeling helpless. Later, her father recovered a lot, thanks to treatment by a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in a village. It was then that she wanted to study traditional Chinese medicine.
This isn't the first time my daughter has mentioned wanting to learn traditional Chinese medicine. "Dad has already found a very good doctor. There's no need for you to learn TCM for Dad's sake."
“Dad, that’s how it started. But as I saw your condition getting better and better, I thought traditional Chinese medicine doctors were amazing. That made me even more interested.”
Then look at the flower tea; it's both medicinal and delicious.
Isn't it interesting that a doctor can achieve this level of skill? It completely overturns my belief that treating illness can only be done by drinking bitter medicine.
"Dad, I'm going to be a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and I definitely won't change my mind."
Shen Changchuan patted his daughter's head. "Studying traditional Chinese medicine and becoming a good doctor requires hard work." He used to think his daughter might not be able to persevere. But she had said it more than once, which meant she really liked it. "I won't stop you from studying traditional Chinese medicine. But you have to take it one step at a time. You have to finish high school first."
"Of course! And I will finish high school with excellent grades."
"Dad, could you introduce me to the military wife who treated your illness sometime in the future?" Shen Ruomei smelled the fragrance of the flowers. She was happy that her father had agreed this time.
Shen Changchuan paused. Ruomei was his child from his second marriage. Would Shen Qian accept Ruomei after learning about his past? Shen Changchuan was unsure. "We're so far apart, I don't know if there will be a chance. Let's think about it later!"
Shen Changchuan remained silent for a long time, his eyes vacant. Shen Ruomei knew that this was when her father missed her older brother.
“Dad, are you missing your older brother again? I think he will grow up safely. We will find him someday,” Ruomei comforted her father.
It's the same for Dad whether he has a wife or not. It's the same for Dad whether he has a home or not. Among the people around him, who else lives as lonely as Dad?
I'm already in high school. My mom actually said that she knows a really good junior high teacher, and if I have any questions, my mom can take me to that teacher.
"Mom, I'm no longer in junior high school."
When Shen Ruomei said this, her mother's eyes widened. "Shouldn't you be in middle school at your age?"...
After her mother discovered that her father cared about her, she began to shower her with all sorts of attention. However, none of this attention was what she needed.
The thought that her concern was for her own good, so that she could speak well of her father and persuade him to come home, made Shen Ruomei feel uneasy.
Last year, she was so disgusted that she said to herself, "You should persuade your father to come back! If he doesn't come back, I won't be able to have a son. Don't you want a younger brother?"
She never wanted a younger brother. She wanted a son.
Dad never came home, and Mom would only complain, but she never dared to mention divorce. Because she couldn't bear to give up Dad's position.
When she thought her father didn't like her, she almost never treated him kindly.
When Ruomei was little, she envied other people's mothers. But those were always other people's mothers.
Ruomei's biggest hope now is to help her father find her older brother.
My father and my eldest brother's mother were truly in love, and my eldest brother is the fruit of their love.
My parents remarried entirely because of my grandfather's pressure; I was destined to be an accident.
Shen Ruomei had also felt sad about this. But when her father was always kind and gentle to her no matter how tired he was, she stopped feeling sad.
Sometimes her father would stare blankly at her homework or at the things he had bought for her. Based on his words and actions, Shen Ruomei knew that her father was wondering what kind of life her older brother was living.
Her father cares about her because of the blood ties between father and daughter, and it's a sense of responsibility. But compared to her older brother, she still lacks something. Even though her father and older brother haven't spent any time together yet.
This may be intuition.
…
After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the weaving team started working.
Song Yan hasn't lost her temper these past few days, but she's been listless. Every afternoon, Wei Aiguo lets her take a nap by herself.
Song Yan actually felt much better after sleeping in the space for a short while.
Bean sprouts are still selling well because theirs are of the best quality.
I don't know where Wei Aiguo bought more than 200 jin of mung beans from, but he gave 50 jin to Li Yuanzhao.
Several organizations in the county regularly place orders for mung bean sprouts. They then soak several kilograms of extra mung beans.
Cheng Wenkai will drive the company car back then, and he will bring the bean sprouts back with him on his way to work in the morning.
Their mung bean sprouts were exceptionally delicious, and several organizations that tried them always wanted to order more. Li Yuanzhao told Cheng Wenkai, "Where would I get so many mung beans? I'll wait until I get some from my fellow villagers."
They could only get bean sprouts once every two or three orders. Even so, the number of bean sprouts from several units combined was still quite large. They were very grateful to Cheng Wenkai for getting the bean sprouts.
Cheng Wenkai said, "You all think bean sprouts are delicious, but do you know how much effort my wife puts into preparing mung beans?"
Everyone thought Cheng Wenkai was just too embarrassed to refuse them, so he asked his wife to sprout bean sprouts. No one was jealous of how much money they made selling them. Because he simply didn't want to do it! Everyone knew Cheng Wenkai's wife was very busy. She had to order several times to get some, and you wouldn't dare complain! You couldn't even get any even if you begged her.
