Xu Shiyan opened the letter and knew as soon as he saw the handwriting that it was written by Mr. Chu himself.
In the letter, Mr. Chu explained why he wanted to give the medical records and secret recipes to Xu Shiyan.
Mr. Chu had a special experience at that time and never got married. It was not until liberation that he got married and had children with the help of others.
So his two sons are not very old. At the time of the accident, one was seventeen and the other sixteen.
When the two teenagers were rebellious, they witnessed their father being arrested. Their mother was seriously ill and had no way to seek help, and eventually died of illness.
Later, the two were squeezed out, suppressed, and bullied, and were eventually sent to the northwest to go to the mountains and countryside.
This experience caused great psychological damage to the brothers.
So the two vowed never to study medicine, and also forbade their children to study medicine.
And Mr. Chu is the only son in the family. In other words, the inheritance of several generations of the Chu family ends here, and there is no successor.
Mr. Chu felt that he was getting old. Maybe one day he would pass away and the Chu family's medical skills would be lost.
With the tempers of the two brothers, they could burn all the medical manuscripts left by Mr. Chu.
Mr. Chu felt ashamed of his ancestors. No matter what, the Chu family's secret recipe couldn't just disappear. He had to find a successor.
After much thought, only Xu Shiyan was suitable, so Mr. Chu inserted these manuscripts into a pile of books.
I didn't tell Xu Shiyan beforehand because I was afraid that Xu Shiyan wouldn't agree.
Xu Shiyan took the letter and read it over and over again. After reading it several times, he could only sigh.
"Master, can you really give me a hard time? Can I keep this thing if I leave it to me?"
How can I have the ability to pass on the Chu family's medical skills?"
Xu Shiyan really has no confidence in himself, he is just a dabbler.
In the field of medicine, there are people who have been studying for decades but dare not claim to have made any achievements. How can someone like him, who doesn't even have half a bottle of water, help Mr. Chu keep such an important secret recipe?
Xu Shiyan wanted to send it back to Mr. Chu, but he was worried that something might go wrong during the mailing process and it would be lost.
After much deliberation, I could only wrap the manuscript and the secret recipe carefully and put them in a box in the basement.
Wait until he writes a letter to ask Mr. Chu before taking action.
There is a box of books, most of which are textbooks from the Agricultural University that Mr. Chu asked for, and a few are medical books.
Xu Shiyan looked at the row of books on the bookshelf and was very happy. He quickly picked up a book and read it carefully.
However, his education was still a little low, so he had a hard time reading it. He thought about it while reading it, and after a long time of effort, he only managed to read three or four pages.
The book is quite thick, and it may not be easy to finish it.
Fortunately, Xu Shiyan is very tenacious. If he has identified something, he will have to figure it out no matter what method he comes up with.
This was so bad that Xu Shiyan didn't care about anything else except eating, sleeping and reading.
Su Anying endured it for three days and finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Didn't you say before that as the Chinese New Year is coming, you have to buy New Year's goods for the people on the breeding farm and give them some bonuses?
Why don't you do anything all day long, just hold a book? You can't read those books at any time, so you should do the serious things first."
"Don't you look at what time this happened?
Today is the Little New Year. If you don’t prepare anything for others, how can they celebrate the Little New Year?”
When Su Anying reminded him, Xu Shiyan finally remembered that he had forgotten something important.
"Really? I promised them before that I wouldn't lose money to them at the end of the year. I just read books these two days and forgot about it.
Wife, I'm going out for a while. Don't touch the book.
Especially that bastard Xu Haiyuan, please don’t let him come in and read my book.”
Xu Shiyan quickly marked the book and put it back on the bookshelf. Before going out, he gave Su Anying special instructions.
"Oh, please leave quickly. Who can touch those books of yours? Your son is too lazy to read them, and he can't understand them."
Su Anying said this, but when she left the east room, she found a lock and locked the door.
No one knows the virtues of her children better than Su Anying.
Xu Haiyuan is naughty and mischievous. I really can't guarantee that he can do anything. It's better to lock it up for peace of mind.
When Xu Shiyan went out, he first went to the Songjiang River, pulled a bunch of food, loaded it into the car and took it to the breeding farm.
In winter, there is less work on the farm, and the feed is stored in advance. Just feed it according to the regulations.
A few blind people were not busy and were playing poker at their residence.
"Brother Xu, you are here. We are just taking a rest and then we will go to work later."
When several people saw Xu Shiyan coming, they were all a little nervous, for fear that their boss would think they were lazy for not working.
"It's okay. There's not much work in winter. Just feed these animals. It doesn't matter if you play a little.
But there is one thing, you can play, but you are not allowed to touch money.
If you let me know that you are playing money games, don't blame me for being rude, I will kick out anyone who plays money games."
Xu Shiyan is not such a harsh person, and he is not a landlord or rich man, so how can he not let people rest?
But there are some rules that must be followed, and the farm will definitely not accept anyone who is trying to make money.
Playing with money is not a good thing if you get involved in it.
Very few gamblers can quit, and in the end it is common for their wives and children to be separated and their families to be destroyed.
Gamblers are anxious to lose, and they can do anything. If someone has bad intentions and takes the idea to the breeding farm, it will be ruined.
"It's not easy for you all to leave your hometown and come all the way to Northeast China.
Earn some money and save it to marry a wife in the future, but you must not cause any trouble. Do you understand?"
Xu Shiyan is quite satisfied with these young men. Naturally, he doesn't want them to go astray. If he can, he will do his best to remind them.
"Alas, alas, we all understand, Brother Xu, we don't have money. Look, isn't this a sticker?"
These people were quite honest. When Xu Shiyan said this, they nodded quickly.
"Okay, just remember this.
Today is the New Year's Eve. I bought you some food. You guys can make some dumplings tonight.
Since I can’t go home so far away, I’ll call this place my home.”
Xu Shiyan put the vegetables, meat, and some white noodles he bought on the shelf on the ground.
"I originally promised you that if you work hard, I won't owe you anything at the end of the year.
It's almost the end of the year, so I'll give each of you a red envelope and keep it for the New Year."
What you said must be done. Xu Shiyan took out six red envelopes, each containing sixty yuan.
This is not a salary, it should be regarded as a bonus for them.
How could these people have imagined that not only would they have so much food to eat today, but they would also receive red envelopes.
He quickly came forward, received the red envelope and thanked Xu Shiyan.
"Thank you, Brother Xu. We work at Brother Xu's place. We are paid, and we are also responsible for food and drink. We also get red envelopes at the end of the year. It is much better than our fellow villagers."
These people work in the farms, take care of food and housing, and are paid fifteen yuan a month. During holidays, Xu Shiyan will show some courtesy.
If you really think about it, it's not that bad compared to the locals, let alone the locals.
Several people were extremely grateful and looked excited while holding the red envelopes.
How many blind people work hard for a year and end up with nothing left? They can save money this year and send it home, which is really good.
