Chapter 40: Selecting Varieties of Chinese Herbal Medicine Planting Books
As he spoke, he casually picked up a book on Qi Wenzhong's desk, curled his lips, and said with a smile:
"'Common Chinese Herbal Medicine Planting Techniques', 'Cultivation of 80 Common Chinese Herbal Medicines'. It seems you're not only inheriting the family business, but also expanding into new areas, managing everything from production to sales."
After talking for a while, Qin Shu still didn't see what he wanted on Qi Wenzhong's face.
He immediately pretended to be careless, loosened his grip, and the book fell to the ground with a noise.
“Snap!”
When Qi Wenzhong saw it, he quickly picked up the book from the ground and carefully wiped it clean with paper.
Then, he raised his eyes, looked directly at Qin Shu, and said:
"I borrowed these from the school library. They must not be damaged."
Unexpectedly, when Qin Shu heard this, the smile on his face deepened, and there was obvious contempt in his eyes.
"Why are you afraid? Your family is in business, so you don't need this little money."
Qi Wenzhong was immediately unhappy when he heard this. It was true that their family was doing business, but the money they earned should not be wasted.
Just as he was about to speak, Qin Shu beside him seemed to realize something, quickly patted Qi Wenzhong's shoulder, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Don't worry, when you inherit the family business in the future, I will give you, my classmate, part of the Second Hospital's pharmacy's channels."
After saying this, he felt particularly generous, raised his chin high, and walked away with his nose facing the sky.
When the roommates in the dormitory heard Qin Shu say this, their eyes lit up and they surrounded him eagerly to flatter him.
It is all for the internship spot at the Second Hospital next year and to be able to work there in the future.
Although there is some gap between the Second Hospital and the First Affiliated Hospital, it is still the second-ranked hospital in Dongyu City.
For students like them, it is also out of reach.
As Qi Wenzhong listened to the noisy sounds coming from behind him, he became more and more disgusted with this impure environment.
He glanced at his class schedule and silently calculated the time until the end of the semester.
Then, I continued what I had just done, copied down all the book titles, and went downstairs to call my father.
Qi Tonghai didn't expect that his son hadn't been home for almost two weeks, and the first time he called him was to buy a book for the little girl Chen Yin.
Thinking of hearing similar words from Xu Ting recently, he couldn't help but say, "I heard your Uncle Xu also say that he found some. Are you two a bad match?"
"No need, Sister Yinyin has already received the book Uncle Xu mailed. I'm just looking for something that's not on it."
Qi Wenzhong's cheerful voice made it clear that he was in a good mood.
The words Qi Tonghai was about to say to dissuade him were just stuck in his throat. "Okay, then read it to me again and I'll write it down so it will be easier for me to help you buy the book."
"Thank you, Dad!"
"By the way, are you going home this weekend? Your mom keeps nagging about you."
Hearing this, Qi Wenzhong felt a little sour in his heart, but thinking of the days in Huimin Hall, he still gave the same answer.
"No, I'm not going back. Sister Yinyin will be going to the countryside for free medical treatment this weekend. I want to go with her to see the world, gain more knowledge and have the opportunity to personally diagnose patients."
Sure enough, after hearing this reason, Qi Tonghai stopped persuading him.
"Okay then, just do your own thing and figure it out yourself."
After saying that, he quickly hung up the phone and turned around to meet his wife's expectant eyes.
"Why? Will my son be home this weekend?"
"He's not coming back. He said he wants to go to the countryside with Chen Yin to provide free medical services. He wants to gain more experience and do his own medical treatment."
"What!" Zhang Yihua shouted in disbelief. Even though she was not very familiar with the operation of the hospital, she knew that free clinics were definitely not as simple as the words that were simply mentioned verbally.
Her own son knows his own capabilities best. What he said about wanting to do it himself is like a fairy tale. He is just a handyman.
Then the responsibility of seeing patients will have to fall on the newly graduated girl Chen Yin.
To be honest, Zhang Yihua only learned a little about Chen Yin from her husband and son when she answered the phone last time.
Now that she heard that the other party dared to do such a big thing, she couldn't help but question her husband.
"Just how good is Chen Yin's medical skills? If I remember correctly, she's only just graduated. A doctor who just graduated from medical school won't get beaten up by the villagers for leading a free clinic alone, right?"
When it comes to Chen Yin's medical skills, Qi Tonghai only knew a little from Xu Ting.
"Xu Ting said that Chen Yin is an excellent doctor. She comes from a family with hundreds of years of medical heritage. She should be quite skilled and should have no problem treating common illnesses."
Hearing this, Zhang Yihua's nervousness did not ease at all.
At this moment, all she could think about was what her son had just said. When she racked her brains, an idea suddenly popped into her mind.
"Old Qi, why don't we both work hard and send our son to the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine to intern under Director Zhang?"
"I think my son wants to stay with Chen Yin simply because he feels that what he learns in school is different from following his teacher in person. I heard that Director Zhang of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is very skilled and there's a high probability that he will be the next director of internal medicine. If I send my son to him and try to keep him at the hospital, I won't have to worry about his future."
"I'm worried that if something happens to my son while he's with Chen Yin in the countryside, it would be hard for him, a medical student, to handle the consequences."
After hearing these words, it can be said that Qi Tonghai was also moved.
It’s good that my son’s current teacher is willing to take him to the outpatient clinic, but there is still a gap compared to Director Zhang.
"Okay, I'll go and get some connections to arrange a meeting between my son and Director Zhang. It would be best if he can accept it."
The couple agreed on this, and Qi Wenzhong, one of the protagonists, knew nothing about it.
As soon as the class ended on Friday morning, he hurried back to the store to take away the books his father bought without saying a word, anxious to catch the last bus to Yunchuan County.
When Qi Wenzhong approached Huimin Hall with a heavy load of books on his back, he was surprised to find that the clinic was quite lively today.
He walked into the clinic quickly out of curiosity and looked around. There was no one in the clinic.
Then he continued walking inside, and as soon as he stepped into the backyard, he heard a familiar voice.
"Qingluan, you're amazing! You're still studying, but you've already read this far in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine and memorized it all."
Such exaggerated praise made Wu Qingluan blush with embarrassment. She waved her hands in panic and explained:
“It’s just rote memorization, and I don’t understand a lot of it.”
Qi Wenzhong immediately recognized the first voice as Liu Mengxi, and the unfamiliar voice should be the two cousins who were studying at school that Chen Yin mentioned.
Without waiting for Liu Mengxi to continue speaking, he raised a gentle smile and said:
"Sister Yinyin, I'm back."
"Wen Zhong," Chen Yin looked up at the person not far away and stood up in surprise, "Why are you here today?"
"I don't have classes this afternoon. Didn't I have to go to the free clinic tomorrow? That's why I came back early."
As he spoke, Qi Wenzhong took off his backpack and shook it. The books in the bag collided with each other, making a noise.
Chen Yin immediately recognized the sound of a book and said in surprise:
"And you found so much!"
Hearing this, Qi Wenzhong smiled shyly, unzipped his bag and took out the book, while explaining:
"I specifically looked around the school library, and these are the books I could find on the Chinese medicinal herbs that are suitable for growing in Dongyu. Sister Yinyin, what do you think of them?"
"If you say so, it must be correct."
Chen Yin happily took the book and took a look at the cover. It turned out to be specially compiled for the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs in the southern region.
I was immediately attracted by it, and immediately opened the cover and read it carefully.
Liu Mengxi heard the noise and walked towards where the two were.
She took a quick look at the capacity of Qi Wenzhong's backpack. "So much! How long do we have to wait to see it all?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Wenzhong suddenly became nervous, and his hand holding the backpack almost fell to the ground.
Liu Mengxi frowned as he looked at his clumsy appearance and subconsciously bent down and reached out to catch it.
When I stretched out my hand, I felt a warm touch on my fingertips.
In an instant, it was as if lightning flashed through the air, making people feel numb and tingling.
Liu Mengxi felt her heart suddenly panic, and she suddenly pulled it back, awkwardly lifted the hair behind her ears, and coughed lightly twice.
"Hmm, don't take it any better."
"I'm sorry, I..." Qi Wenzhong's heart was not calm at all. He opened his mouth but didn't know how to explain.
It was Wu Qingluan who remembered the book Qi Wenzhong brought, which was to help her family grow Chinese medicinal herbs, and helped to explain it.
"I'm not afraid of repeating myself. I don't have much land at home. I can just look through all the books and find the most suitable crops to plant."
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Yin raised her head from the book and couldn't help but praise out loud.
"Qingluan, you're right. We only need to find a few species. Being able to build a region into a planting base for several special varieties is already quite remarkable."
Hearing the praise, Wu Qingluan stood aside shyly, too embarrassed to look up at Chen Yin.
Liu Mengxi shook his head, put aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and asked curiously:
"Yinyin, from what you said, have you decided which species to plant?"
"I have a rough idea in my mind, but I'd have to ask my uncle for details."
"We're going tomorrow, right?"
When Liu Mengxi thought about doing something as meaningful as free medical consultation, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
"That's right. At this rate, we will arrive at my grandmother's house around this morning, and the free clinic will officially begin the day after tomorrow."
After saying that, Chen Yin looked at Qi Wenzhong a little embarrassedly, "So, if Wenzhong has classes on Monday, he will probably only be able to participate in the free clinic in the morning and have to rush back to town in the afternoon to catch the bus or train back to the city."
"It's okay! The school is preparing for internships for next semester, which will probably start in December. I've been preparing for final exams lately. I don't have classes on Monday, so I'll stay here for a day before going back."
"Anyway, calculate your time well and don't delay your studies."
"I know, Sister Yinyin." Qi Wenzhong nodded heavily and made a promise.
Then, several people opened the books brought by Qi Wenzhong one by one, found the parts with more repetitiveness and simpler planting methods, and left them in the clinic.
The group studied like this until it gradually darkened.
At this point, Chen Yin also realized something was wrong. "Why hasn't Mingfeng come back yet? Mom said she was going to pick her up, but there's still no sign of her. Could something have happened?"
"What? Auntie is not here." Qi Wenzhong subconsciously looked towards the kitchen.
According to common sense, Aunt Wu should be busy in the kitchen at this time.
Looking at the dim kitchen, he realized that there was something strange going on. It turned out that Aunt Wu was not there.
The three adults were a little panicked, but the youngest Wu Qingluan was the calmest.
She thought briefly and gave an answer that none of the three could have thought of.
"Maybe the county bus didn't wait for any passengers and left late, that's why Sister Mingfeng hasn't returned to town yet."
Hearing her affirmative tone, Chen Yin had an unbelievable guess in her heart.
"Could it be that the buses running between the county and our town often do this?"
"Not often, but sometimes Sister Mingfeng comes home later than usual. Most of the time it's because the bus is late. Because she stays up too late, she'll come to Sister Yinyin's house to rest. She'll go home at a good time, and by the time she gets home, it's usually dark."
"So today is..."
"It's too late." Wu Qingluan immediately gave his own judgment.
"Forget it, I'd better go to the station and take a look."
Although she understood the reason, Chen Yin was still a little worried, so she put down the book in her hand and walked outside.
The other three saw it and followed.
But before the four of them walked twenty meters, they saw two similar figures slowly approaching from a distance.
Chen Yin subconsciously called out, "Mom, is that you?"
The next second, a familiar voice came from the other side, "Yin Yin, why did you bring everyone here?"
As they spoke, the two figures opposite quickened their pace.
After a while, the faces of two people appeared in front of them. They were Wu Dongmei and Wu Mingfeng.
"Mom, Mingfeng, why are you so late today?"
"The bus is a little late." Wu Mingfeng immediately gave the answer, the same as what Wu Qingluan had just said.
"It will be dark when you get home later, so come to the clinic and rest for a night before going home. Then your uncle and aunt won't worry about you."
Chen Yin thought of what Wu Qingluan had just said and couldn't help but give her a warning.
Hearing this, Wu Mingfeng nodded with a bright smile, "Sister Yinyin, I know."
Wu Dongmei, who was standing by, couldn't help but poke her niece's head with her finger when she heard this, and said angrily:
"Just remember it, don't just talk about it."
"Hehe!" Wu Mingfeng smiled foolishly without saying anything.
Wu Dongmei shook her head helplessly, pulled Wu Mingfeng and walked in front of her towards the clinic.
At this time, Qi Wenzhong walked into the changed main room for the first time. He saw the electric fan and refrigerator in the room at a glance and couldn't help showing an expression of surprise.
He pointed at two appliances and said, "Sister Yinyin, in just five days, the clinic has added so many appliances."
When Liu Mengxi heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
But she did not choose to speak first, but waited for Chen Yin to explain for her.
Sure enough, Chen Yin's voice soon rang in her ears, "These appliances were brought by Mengxi herself."
"Doctor Liu!" Qi Wenzhong turned his gaze to the other side in surprise.
Feeling Qi Wenzhong's gaze, Liu Mengxi proudly raised his chest, raised his eyebrows and said:
"Yes, I asked my dad to bring them over. The refrigerator can store leftovers and can also be used to make cold soups to cool down. As for the electric fan, it's even more useful. In addition to the main room, there is one in the clinic, my room, Yinyin's room, and Auntie's room."
After saying that, Liu Mengxi seemed to remember something and exaggeratedly covered his open mouth.
"I'm sorry, Junior Brother Qi, when I asked my dad to deliver the electric fan, I didn't know there would be someone like you in the clinic, so I wasn't prepared."
If Liu Mengxi hadn't said anything, Qi Wenzhong really wouldn't have thought it was a big deal.
But for some reason, after hearing this, he suddenly felt strange and couldn't help frowning.
Wu Dongmei didn't notice Liu Mengxi's strange tone, and said sympathetically:
"What's the big deal? There's a sleeping area in the main room that we don't need. Mengxi, if you're worried that Xiaoqi might get too hot at night, you can just lend him the one in the main room."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qi Wenzhong took a deep breath as if he suddenly understood, and immediately nodded in the direction of Liu Mengxi.
"Thank you, Doctor Liu!"
Liu Mengxi never expected that events would develop in this way. She felt a lump in her chest, unable to move.
But facing everyone's gazes, she could only force a smile and said, "Yes, that's what I think."
But then he turned around and secretly complained: Why is Qi Wenzhong so proud?
After talking about the electrical appliances that suddenly appeared, the few of them prepared to start dinner.
It’s a hot day, and the food prepared earlier is still warm, so you don’t have to do much. Just put it on the table and start eating right away.
After dinner, everyone went about their business.
Chen Yin and others are still studying books on Chinese medicinal herb cultivation, and they are determined to find more than a dozen good alternatives.
Wu Qingluan and Wu Mingfeng were doing their homework, while Wu Dongmei was mending clothes.
When it was time to go to bed, everyone washed up and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, everyone practiced the Five Animal Exercises in the backyard to exercise.
Ever since Liu Mengxi relieved the fatigue of the long journey, he went to bed early when he arrived in Tongxi Town. He accidentally heard some noise in the yard, got up to check, and found that Chen Yin was actually practicing the Five Animal Exercises. He couldn't help but join in.
When Qi Wenzhong saw this, he couldn't help but join in.
So, such a magical scene appeared in the backyard of Huimintang Medical Clinic.
After exercise and breakfast, everyone began to organize the medicinal materials that needed to be taken to the free clinic.
When Qi Wenzhong and Liu Mengxi heard that the medicinal materials Chen Yin was going to bring included a large amount of processed aconite, they both widened their eyes at the same time.
Processed aconite is more toxic than roasted aconite, so use it with extreme caution.
In particular, the "Guidelines for Clinical Medication Use" and "Pharmacopoeia" published last year have extremely strict regulations on the dosage of various drugs.
As a student who loves reading, Qi Wenzhong naturally read it.
In addition, when I occasionally followed my teacher to the outpatient clinic, I had seen him being very cautious about the dosage of medicines, and I was deeply impressed by some highly toxic medicinal materials.
According to the dosage regulations in the "Pharmacopoeia" and "Instructions for Clinical Medication Use", the weight of processed aconite they brought to the free clinic this time is enough to treat fifty patients with weak yang energy.
Qi Wenzhong was a little hesitant to open the drawer containing the processed aconite.
He hoped that he had heard it wrong, turned around and looked at Chen Yin, asking her to repeat it.
"Sister Yinyin, did you say the weight of the processed aconite was one digit too much?"
"Yes! The processed aconite is too heavy. Could it be that there are so many critically ill patients in the village where we are going for free medical treatment this time?" Liu Mengxi echoed.
Hearing this, Chen Yin shook her head.
The two thought they had really heard it wrong, and the corners of their mouths that were about to rise were suddenly frozen on their faces by Chen Yin's next words.
"Yes, you both heard correctly. Aconite's toxicity is the very basis of its ability to bring back the dead. For patients experiencing yang energy loss and critical heart failure, a higher dose should be used. I disagree with the statement in the Pharmacopoeia."
The two didn't expect that Chen Yin would have such an idea.
Qi Wenzhong, who always strictly abided by the law, felt that he had experienced a collapse of values. His eyes were dull and he had no reaction at all.
Liu Mengxi looked at Chen Yin worriedly and retorted:
"Yinyin, you have to know that the regulations in the Pharmacopoeia are the guidelines for us as doctors to practice medicine and treat patients. If... I mean if, if you use the medicine beyond the prescribed regulations, if anything goes wrong, you will be held legally responsible."
As she finished speaking, she sounded a little disappointed in Chen Yin, and she wanted to shake her shoulders hard to see if there was water in her head.
"I only care about curing illnesses and saving lives. I don't care about anything else."
Chen Yin's eyes were firm as she continued with her actions. The two people's reminders and warnings did not cause any ripples in her heart.
Qi Wenzhong and Liu Mengxi looked at each other, unable to believe that Chen Yin, who looked gentle and kind, was actually such a stubborn person at heart.
The two realized that they could not dissuade her and could only do as she asked.
After a while, they prepared all the necessary herbs and set off for Qingshan Village.
This time, Wu Dongmei did not go with them, but stayed in the clinic to get medicine for patients in need.
By the way, as Chen Yin's correspondent, if there is any emergency, at least there is someone who can go back to the village to remind her.
So, this time it was a five-person trip.
When she first started walking on the road, Liu Mengxi was quite excited, but as the distance became longer and longer, she gradually felt overwhelmed.
I thought: Why are the roads here always uphill and downhill? I walk back and forth, and I'm exhausted even without walking much straight distance.
Hearing her panting voice, Qi Wenzhong couldn't help but stepped forward to help, "Doctor Liu, let me help you carry the bag, so you can relax a little."
At this time, Liu Mengxi no longer cared about being pretentious and stuffed the bag into Qi Wenzhong's arms.
Then, he said weakly, "Thank you."
Chen Yin glanced at her friend, whose face was flushed, and shook her head helplessly, "Next, you have to practice the Five Animal Exercises with me and exercise your body."
Liu Mengxi licked his dry mouth and nodded weakly.
Finally, when Liu Mengxi felt that his legs were about to lose control and collapsed to the ground, several people arrived in front of the Wu family's yard.
Because Wu Mingfeng and Wu Qingluan did not return home last night, the Wu family did not sleep well the whole night and kept staring at the door after getting up.
So, when Chen Yin and others appeared at the door, they were immediately discovered by grandma.
"So last night, Qingluan, you and your sister Mingfeng were resting at Yinyin's house. You didn't come back last night, and you made everyone worried for a while."
Since Wu Mingfeng was studying in the county town, if she didn't go home on Fridays occasionally, after a certain period of time, the Wu family would no longer worry about her.
But Wu Qingluan is different. Her school is in the town, so she rushes home as soon as school is over, and she will get home no matter what.
Wu Qingluan knew that her grandmother was talking about her, and her little face immediately turned pale.
"Grandma, my aunt came to school to look for me yesterday and said we should go home together today, so I didn't come back."
"I guessed it. You, the most obedient child, haven't come home yet at this time. It must be your aunt who is instigating it. I think your aunt has become much more active since Yinyin came home."
When grandma spoke, she showed an expression that I knew, which calmed Wu Qingluan's uneasy heart.
She waved her hand, signaling the group to hurry into the yard, "Hurry up! Come in and rest for a while."
After saying that, grandma walked towards the main room, poured the boiled and cooled water into a bowl, and handed it to Liu Mengxi, who looked the most tired.
"Child, come on, drink some water."
Liu Mengxi couldn't wait to take the bowl, gave his grandmother a bright smile, and without even saying a word, he put the bowl to his mouth and drank it directly.
Because he was too eager, water flowed down his chin from both sides of his mouth.
Chen Yin thought about how hard her friends had worked along the way and didn't want to say too much.
After a while, everyone finished drinking the thirst-quenching water and stood under the tree to rest and catch their breath.
Chen Yin glanced around the room and asked, "Grandma, did my uncle and aunt go to the fields?"
"No, ever since they heard what you said last time, they've been wandering around the mountains all day long, like headless flies, taking advantage of the slack season. I can't persuade them."
At this point, the grandmother was embarrassed to look her granddaughter in the eye. Her family was really too anxious.
Chen Yin didn't expect that her uncle and aunt had actually started thinking about growing medicinal herbs on their own, and they went up the mountain to explore the environment regardless of the weather.
She looked up at the time and said, "I guess my uncle should be back by now."
“That’s about the same.”
Grandma no longer wanted to care too much about her reckless eldest son and daughter-in-law, and instead talked about more important matters.
"Yinyin, when you get back, should you send someone to talk to the village chief? That way we can arrange for the free clinic tomorrow."
When Wu Mingfeng heard this, he immediately made faces and smiled smugly, and rushed to speak.
"Grandma, you don't have to worry about this. When we came back, many people saw it. The village chief should have heard the news and rushed over soon. There's no need for us to come and remind them."
"Yes, yes."
Grandma also realized that she was worrying about nothing, so she stopped caring about the affairs of the village and turned her attention to the two strange little girls and boys.
"Then Yinyin and these two are..."
"Oh, grandma, I haven't introduced you yet. This is my college classmate, Liu Mengxi, also a doctor. He recently came to relax with me and stayed in the clinic together. I wanted to participate in the free clinic, so I brought him here to help."
"I met this guy through Uncle Xu. He's a medical student at our city's medical university and wants to study with us."
When the grandmother heard that one was her granddaughter's classmate and the other was someone familiar to the kind-hearted boss Xu, her face instantly broke out into an excited smile and she shouted "Hello" three times.
"Good, good, good! You are all good children. People in the surrounding area will be grateful to you."
The outpouring of sincerity made Liu Mengxi and Qi Wenzhong feel embarrassed, after all, neither of them had officially started their free medical consultation yet.
The two of them shyly waved at their grandmother's eager gaze, and they could see quite a few similarities.
Just as Wu Mingfeng said, the village chief soon received the news that Chen Yin had returned to the village.
As soon as he heard that Chen Yin was here to provide free medical treatment, he immediately sent his eldest grandson, Wu Yushu, who was used to being by his side.
So, when Chen Yin and others were chatting happily in the yard, Wu Yushu appeared.
As her good helper, Chen Yin spotted Wu Yushu at a glance.
She quickly stood up from the stool and said in a firm tone:
"Brother Yushu, the village chief must have sent you here, right?"
"Yinyin, you guessed it. My grandfather just wanted me to confirm with you whether the free clinic will start tomorrow so that I can have the people in Lijia Village prepare."
Wu Yushu smiled and understood what his grandfather was thinking.
"It's tomorrow, just like last time. But I'm bringing a classmate and a medical student who hasn't graduated yet, so you don't need to send so many people for protection."
Unexpectedly, when Wu Yushu heard Chen Yin's words, the smile on his face instantly faded and he said disapprovingly:
"That won't do! How could the village be at ease with two girls and a... a medical student who can't even lift a finger?"
Feeling personally attacked, Qi Wenzhong subconsciously pointed at himself and thought: I am powerless?
He immediately raised his arm and looked it up and down to make sure he still had some strength.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Wu Yushu's strong and powerful arms, with muscular torsos and full of strength.
The words he had prepared were instantly blocked in his stomach. Qi Wenzhong silently put down his hand and thought to himself: He must practice hard after returning to school, and the next time they meet, he will never let the other party look down on him again.
Liu Mengxi caught a glimpse of this scene and quickly realized Qi Wenzhong's little thoughts, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
Chen Yin was still arguing with Wu Yushu, and finally changed the five people to three to reduce the waste of labor in the village.
After finishing his business, Wu Yushu quickly left the Wu family and ran towards Lijia Village.
As for Qi Wenzhong, whose heart he had accidentally hurt, he had completely ignored him.
Time passed quickly and soon it was time for lunch.
At this time, Wu Qiufeng and An Hongyingcai rushed back from the mountain in a cloud of dust, their bodies covered with all kinds of fallen leaves and fluff, and their exposed skin was covered with red marks left by the grass and trees.
Just looking at it makes people feel hot and uncomfortable.
Chen Yin quickly stepped forward and handed the brewed herbal tea to the two of them. "Uncle, aunt, drink this bowl of herbal tea quickly. Although it's not yet cold, it's just right for quenching your thirst."
Wu Qiufeng opened his cracked lips and smiled proudly.
"Okay, uncle, I'll try it right away."
After taking a sip, he sighed exaggeratedly, "Ah - good tea!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
This look immediately made everyone present burst into laughter, especially Liu Mengxi, who looked at Wu Qiufeng's image as an honest country man. He felt shocked as if his image had collapsed and laughed the loudest.
After a busy morning, Wu Qiufeng and his wife were tired and thirsty. They quickly washed themselves with cold water and soon sat down at the dining table with everyone else.
Chen Yin introduced the two new members again. As before, they were warmly welcomed and there was constant laughter at the table.
After the meal, after a short rest, a group of people gathered under the shade of a tree and began to discuss the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs.
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Wu Qiufeng and An Hongying, who had already prepared, immediately told them the results of the past few days.
"Yinyin, you don't know that on the mountain next to our land, there's a large field of honeysuckle, which is what you call honeysuckle. I think that piece of land is perfect for growing honeysuckle. We don't even have to spend time and effort looking for land ourselves. We can just sign a ten-year lease contract with the village chief."
"There are also Houttuynia cordata everywhere. I never thought that this thing could be a Chinese medicinal herb." An Hongying added.
After saying that, the two of them looked at Chen Yin with shining eyes, hoping to hear the answer they wanted from her.
Chen Yin didn't expect that in such a long time, her uncle and his wife had found two suitable projects.
"Honeysuckle and Houttuynia cordata are indeed good, especially honeysuckle. It can be found almost anywhere in the mountains and is also a good medicinal herb."
When Wu Qiufeng heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes.
Wu Mingfeng and Wu Qingluan were infected by this joyful atmosphere and couldn't help but smile happily.
After all, what they are talking about now is closely related to the fate of their family.
If we have money, we can build a better house; if we have money, my eldest brother won't have to work as a laborer outside; if we have money, they will come back...
In a pleasant atmosphere, Chen Yin handed the books she had found about the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs to her uncle.
"Uncle, look, these are the books on Chinese medicinal herb cultivation that I found through Uncle Xu and Wen Zhong. They contain a lot of scientific knowledge about cultivation. If you want to cultivate scientifically, you must integrate all the knowledge to grow the herbs well and generate economic benefits."
When Wu Qiufeng heard this, he couldn't wait to accept the offer and nodded repeatedly in the direction of Chen Yin and Qi Wenzhong to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, thank you! Yinyin, you and Xiaoqi have helped us a lot."
After saying this, he excitedly flipped through the book quickly, feeling the beauty of knowledge.
Before he could be happy for long, Chen Yin poured a basin of cold water on him.
"As for planting, apart from the knowledge in books, I can't help you with anything else. I asked Uncle Xu, and he said that the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs is still in its infancy. There are no large-scale planting bases outside, and there is no place to learn. So if you want to grow Chinese medicinal herbs, I guess you can only rely on yourself, uncle."
Hearing this, Wu Qiufeng's heart sank.
But he thought about it carefully, and his face was unfamiliar with calmness. "Don't worry, uncle knows what's going on."
"In the past, you didn't need anyone to teach you how to grow vegetables. You could just plant a piece of land and grow them. I just don't believe that Chinese medicinal herbs can't grow anything just because they're plants."
At this moment, a sense of heroism flowed from Wu Qiufeng, leaving the people around him speechless with astonishment.
Wu Mingfeng even felt that his father was very strange at this moment, as if he had become a different person.
Then, she gave her father a thumbs up and said, "Dad, I believe in you!"
