Yuxi Town, pH city.
Lin Dong came out of the bus station, carrying a small bag. It's easy for him to be mistaken for an outsider. Several taxi drivers gathered around and chatted up with each other, "where to go, I'll take you." Yuxi dialect was full of words. Lin Dong didn't care and strode forward with his bag. As soon as they see that it's not going to work, the enthusiastic motorcycle drivers quickly change their targets and ask other passengers instead of Lin Dong. There is only a middle-aged man who is not very old, but obviously old and white. He is still in hot pursuit. Because he hasn't officially opened today, he has to earn the fare from Lin Dong for today's fuel money.
"Hewan primary school." Lin Dong wanted to take a taxi, but when he saw that there was no one around him, he had no choice but to choose him.
"Good!" On hearing this, the middle-aged man was overjoyed. He threw away his cigarette butt and quickly put it out with his feet.
Drive his motorcycle as fast as you can.
He had no business for a long time, but he suffered a lot. As soon as there was business, the middle-aged man even forgot to tell Lin Dong about the price. When Lin Dong got on the back seat of the car with his bag, he suddenly remembered that he was careful to tell Lin Dong: "five yuan for Hewan primary school." For fear that Lin Dong would not agree, he quickly added: "it's a long way to go
Lin Dong didn't care. He just asked, "do you sell Camellia or herbal medicine in the town?"
The middle-aged man repeatedly said, "there are both new markets in Zhendong and old markets in Zhenxi. Where are you going?"
After getting the answer that both sides want to go, the middle-aged man is silent and drives left to the new market in Zhendong. In fact, he wanted to raise the fare of one yuan. He made a half circle around the East and west of the town. The distance was not far, but it was not close. It was just that it was hard for him to open his mouth at this time. He was afraid that the guests would get angry and he had to keep silent all the way and figure out how to open his mouth.
To this kind of mood change, Lin Dong a smile: "give you ten yuan, you walk a few steps more, if I buy the thing that agree, add ten yuan to you again."
The middle-aged man was overjoyed at the speech.
An old face immediately overflowed with joy: "OK, you sit down!"
Although this is a small sum of money, it is an effective incentive for the people who work hard for two meals.
Things in villages and towns are cheaper than those in cities. Camellia and herbal medicines are even cheaper than Chinese cabbage. In the hands of old people and old women who set up stalls to sell wild medicinal herbs in the mountains, Lin Dong bought more than a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs needed for making Huoli Dan for only 300 yuan, and they were several big bags. In order to enhance the effect of purchasing medicine, Lin Dong gave each old man a 50% deposit, and pointed out that he would purchase more than ten kinds of medicinal materials that are still in shortage. The greatly inspired old man and old woman seemed to be young all of a sudden, and suddenly burst out the powerful fighting force of going south to attack north and kill all sides.
One by one, they decided to go into the mountain tomorrow, dug up the mountain herbs that the young man needed, and took the double price he promised.
"Young man, don't worry. You have all these herbs in the mountains. Yes, there are all kinds of herbs in the mountains. The old man promises to dig them for you. There are also camellia, but if you want something fresh, you have to pick it early tomorrow! Don't worry. I'll ask my granddaughter-in-law to help you pick them. She's skillful. She used to work in Dalin tea farm! "
"You leave us a phone call, and I'll let my son deliver it to you directly..."
After Lin Dong's politeness, he left a mobile phone number for external contact.
Wave goodbye again.
The middle-aged man who just stood by rubbing his hands quickly came up to help, put a few big mountain herbs in the back seat, and repeatedly told Lin Dong to sit down.
Lin Dong took a ride around Yuxi town. He bought a lot of mountain herbs and sold them all in the old and new markets. The total amount was just over 2000. It's in the city drugstores. The high-yield herbs planted in the greenhouses are not as good as the wild herbs, and their value is still very expensive. It's estimated that they can't get down without tens of thousands of pieces of nearly ten big bags of herbs.
Now, with only 2000 yuan, Lin Dong has already taken more than half of the medicinal materials needed for vitality pill.
Most importantly, mountain herbs are better.
Lin Dong was very satisfied.
This time, it's the right way to come back to the countryside to collect medicine and alchemy!
Although the running place is a little far away and it's troublesome enough to go around by car, the effect is good and the trouble is worth it.
"Will you come back now?" The middle-aged man was also very happy, because Lin Dong promised to give him more money. He didn't dare to think of 20 yuan, but he couldn't get away with 10 yuan. It's too easy to make 10 yuan in a circle!
"Go back!" Lin Dong saw that he was very active in helping. He mentioned it and moved it. He was sweating all over. He planned to give him a hundred, but he didn't say it.
When he arrived at Hewan primary school, Lin Dong didn't enter the school. He just stopped at an old building by the side of the road.
The middle-aged man said, "isn't this Mr. Tang's house?"
Mr. Tang is his grandmother Lin Dong.
This old house was left by my grandmother. From senior high school to university, Lin Dong lived on campus all the time. Especially after he was admitted to Dongshan University, although it was not far away, it was always dozens of kilometers. It was very troublesome to run around, so he seldom came back. Grandma left, he came back more lonely, sometimes living in this empty room, even a speaker is not, especially depressed. In addition to buying camellia and herbal medicine, Lin Dong also wants to remember his childhood. If he even includes traveling, he hasn't been back for ten years.
In addition, you need to find a quiet place to boil the soup to make the vitality pill and spirit tea. It's definitely not good to rent the place. Who can bear the taste of the medicine.
In order to prevent the landlord aunt to kill the door to warn himself, Lin Dong decided to return here, quietly refining.
Hewan primary school has been withdrawn.
Students and teachers have long been merged into the Central Primary School in Yuxi town. My grandmother has devoted her whole life to this school. Now she is an iron general.
The gate is rusty, inside and outside the wall, dilapidated and overgrown with weeds
In order to get closer to the school, the small library that Grandma had painstakingly built is now only a lonely one. People are gone and the building is empty. In the past, the sound of students' reading has long disappeared in time and turned into an eternal memory.
Lin Dong felt with his star power that grandma's breath had completely disappeared, and there was no residue in the world.
Perhaps, as a hardworking gardener who burns herself to light up others' selfless life dedication, she has already ascended to the kingdom of heaven and been reborn into a happy and carefree heaven and man!
"Grandma, I will take good care of myself!" Lin Dong took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and said in his heart: "I am no longer the poor orphan who was confused about fate and confused about the future. Now, I have the ability to grasp my own destiny. Grandma, please smile in the sky and watch me go all the way
The middle-aged man untied the rope.
Remove the big and small bags full of herbs.
He didn't need Lin Dong's help at all. He directly carried it into the house. When he found a slightly clean place to put it, he carefully asked, "who are you, Mr. Tang?"
"She's my grandmother." Seeing his enthusiasm, Lin Dong explained casually.
"Oh, no wonder I feel familiar!" The middle-aged man patted his thigh excitedly: "I saw you that year when I saw off Mr. Tang. At that time, you were still young. In the blink of an eye, several years have passed. Your change is too big. You have grown a lot taller. I dare not recognize it! I? I am a student of Miss Tang. She was our head teacher at that time. Not only me, but also my wife, daughter and son. Our family are all her students. Oh, don't mention money, don't mention money. You are Mr. Tang's grandson. I can't charge you for the car. At that time, my family didn't have money to pay for the tuition. It was her old man who forced me out of the valley and helped me pay for the tuition with her salary... "
"Well, what do you call uncle?" Lin Dong asked the middle-aged man to sit down.
