The next day, Lin Yuan and Wang Zhanjun had just finished breakfast when Wang Ke from the Cheng family came to greet them. Lin Yuan was a little puzzled. He had prescribed four doses of medicine yesterday. It should be said that he had not finished taking them by this time. The Cheng family
Could it be that there has been any change in the patient's condition when we sent someone here at this time?
Wang Ke didn't say much to Lin Yuan along the way. Lin Yuan came to Cheng's house with suspicion, but Wang Ke took him to a study room of Cheng's house.
"Doctor Lin, please wait inside now. The old lady will be here soon." Wang Ke took Lin Yuan to the door of the study and did not push the door open, but let Lin Yuan go in by himself.
Watching Wang Ke leave, Lin Yuan opened the study door and walked in. The study was not big, with two rows of bookshelves inside. As soon as Lin Yuan walked into the study, he saw a book hanging on the wall in the center of the study.
A huge black and white photo, the person in the black and white photo is clearly his grandfather Lin Yizhi.
In the photo, Lin Yizhi looks to be in his mid-twenties, about the same age as Lin Yuan now, and his appearance is 60-70% similar to Lin Yuan's, but his figure is stronger than Lin Yuan's, and his face has sharper edges and corners.
Some, wearing a Chinese tunic suit set off Lin Yizhi's handsomeness even more.
It is not that Lin Yuan has never seen photos of Lin Yizhi when he was young, but he has to say that this photo is even more handsome. Lin Yuan believes that Lin Yizhi was even more handsome than him when he was young.
The photo looks a bit old, and the black and white photo is from the Republic of China period. It seems that this photo should have been left by my grandfather Lin Yizhi when he was young. Unexpectedly, it has been kept by the old lady of the Cheng family.
After looking at the photos for a while, Lin Yuan looked at the bookshelf again. On the bookshelf, he unexpectedly found several classics on traditional Chinese medicine, with annotations written by his grandfather Lin Yizhi.
Judging from the dense annotations above, my grandfather must have read these books frequently. Based on this, it seems that Lin Yizhi must have stayed in the Cheng family for a long time.
As Lin Yuan was watching, the door of the study room was pushed open, and an old lady in her eighties walked in with a cane. After the old lady came in, the door of the study room was closed from the outside.
The old lady who came in was none other than the old lady of the Cheng family, Cheng Ziling, the eldest daughter of the Cheng family at that time.
"Old Madam." Lin Yuan hurriedly sent a letter and greeted the old lady respectfully. Not to mention that this old lady of the Cheng family was highly respected and over eighty years old this year. Just talking about the relationship between this old lady and his grandfather Lin Yizhi,
That was the person who almost became his grandmother.
The old lady of the Cheng family nodded lightly to Lin Yuan, and looked at the photos on the wall with complicated eyes. After looking at them for a long time, she slowly said: "In this study, there is no one else in the Cheng family except me.
No one is allowed to enter, and you are the only outsider who has come in in so many years."
"Old madam, were you and my grandfather back then?" Lin Yuan asked tentatively.
"Sit down." Mrs. Cheng did not answer, but pointed to the sofa next to her for Lin Yuan to sit down. She walked behind the desk in the study and sat down. She stretched out her hand to touch the desk and said nostalgically:
"It was here that your grandfather often spent all night reading medical books, planning plans, and smashed several Japanese attacks on Binyang City..."
"Grandpa stayed here for a long time?" Lin Yuan asked.
"A little half a year." Mrs. Cheng said: "It's a pity that my Cheng family temple is small and I can't keep him. He is a dragon in the sea, destined to fly for nine days. He lost news after the founding of the People's Republic of China. I always thought he was dead.
,I didn’t expect..."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Cheng looked at Lin Yuan and said: "Little guy, tell me how he lived in the following years. Who is your grandma?"
"I haven't met my grandma, but I know her name is Tong Xinyu." Lin Yuandao: "I heard from my grandpa that my grandma passed away when my father was more than ten years old."
"Tong Xinyu?" A complicated smile appeared on Mrs. Cheng's face, and she said leisurely: "I didn't expect that the one who stayed with him in the end would be that female eighth."
"My grandma is the Eighth Route Army?" Lin Yuan said in surprise. He had hardly heard about his grandma since he was a child. After all, his grandma had already passed away when he was born, and there was no photo of his grandma at home.
As for my grandma's name, Lin Yuan, I heard her father Lin Haichao mention it occasionally.
"Your grandma is not only the Eighth Route Army, she was also the political commissar of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, a female political commissar." Cheng Ziling said.
"Female political commissar of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army?" Lin Yuan was even more surprised. At that time, a regiment-level cadre of the Eighth Route Army was quite extraordinary. There were very few female political commissars. Most of the commanders of the Eighth Route Army during the Anti-Japanese War became division commanders during the Liberation War.
, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he would be the commander of the army, or at least the founding major general.
Lin Yuan did not expect that his grandfather would be so powerful. He abducted one of the founding female major generals, and the two of them settled down in a small place like Pingshui County and flourished.
Mrs. Cheng didn't say much about Tong Xinyu. Instead, she asked Lin Yuan about Lin Yizhi's life over the years. Lin Yuan also told Mrs. Cheng in detail. The two of them chatted all morning.
As the saying goes, gold always shines. How could such an outstanding person like Lin Yizhi remain unknown all his life? Lin Yuan learned a lot of secrets about his grandfather Lin Yizhi from the old lady of the Cheng family.
His grandfather Lin Yizhi was not only a doctor, but also the leader of the famous Eight Gates of the Jianghu and the Weiling Sect. He had a very high position and was very influential among the Eight Gates of the Jianghu.
When Lin Yizhi was young, he single-handedly broke into the Japanese base more than once to rescue and assassinate people. Many people in the world were in awe when mentioning Lin Chunnuan, the romantic and evil king of hell, while the Japanese and some bandits were frightened.
If it weren't for Lin Yizhi not seeking fame and fortune, based on Lin Yizhi's achievements back then, his current status would be no worse than Wang Boyuan's.
In the past, Lin Yuan always thought that Wang Boyuan did not know his grandfather. It turned out that many people did not know Lin Yizhi's real name. In that era, Lin Yizhi used many pseudonyms. Most people called Lin Yizhi Lin Chunnuan. Those who knew Lin Yizhi's real name also
There are only a few people, and the old lady of the Cheng family is one of them.
Lin Yizhi and Wang Boyuan also had a close friendship back then. Lin Yuan guessed that the main reason why his grandfather Lin Yizhi did not contact Wang Boyuan and Xie Zhikun later was that he did not want the old lady of the Cheng family to know about him.
"Madam, lunch is ready." Lin Yuan and Madam Cheng were talking when someone knocked on the door and Wang Ke's voice came over, urging them to eat.
The old lady stood up slowly and said, "Little guy, come and have dinner with me. Lin Yizhi is ruthless and unjust, but I can't treat his descendants badly."
"Mrs. Cheng." Lin Yuan didn't know what to say. Mrs. Cheng said that Lin Yizhi was heartless and unjust. It was really hard for Lin Yuan to refute. After all, he was also a poor person who called Lao Fure.
"Call me Grandma Cheng." Mrs. Cheng sighed and said, "Given my relationship with your grandfather, it's not a disadvantage for you to call me Grandma."
"Grandma Cheng." Lin Yuan hurriedly changed his words. Mrs. Cheng is already over eighty years old. An old man of this age, with or without heirs, is lonely and pitiful. Although the old lady is respected in the huge Cheng family, the descendants of the Cheng family
Nor is he his son.
Lin Yuan and Mrs. Cheng left the study and came to the dining room. There were already many people gathered around the large dining table, including men and women. The older ones were in their early sixties and the younger ones were in their early thirties. Everyone was standing.
Waiting for the old lady.
Lin Yuan took a quick glance and could tell that several people were direct descendants of the Cheng family. The eldest was the eldest son of Mrs. Cheng's brother, and the youngest was the eldest son of the third generation of the Cheng family. The second child was still lying on the hospital bed.
With.
The old lady came to the main seat and sat down, and told the king beside her: "Put a chair under me." At the same time, she said to Lin Yuan: "Little one, just sit next to me."
Hearing the old lady's instructions, everyone in the Cheng family was shocked. You must know that the Cheng family is a large family with very strict rules. The rules of the Cheng family are basically passed down from the older generation. It is a truly century-old family.
At a family banquet like this, it is not unreasonable to give the guests a pair of chopsticks, but Lin Yuan sat directly under the old lady, which was unique.
Something spread yesterday. Many people in the Cheng family heard that Lin Yuan had a close relationship with the old lady. They didn't expect that he was so highly regarded by the old lady.
"Grandma Cheng, I'd better sit down casually." Lin Yuan said hurriedly when he saw the expressions of everyone around him.
"You sit down when I tell you to sit down." Mrs. Cheng said calmly, and at the same time she told everyone: "Lin Yuan's grandfather was kind to our Cheng family back then. Xiao Lin saved Xiaofang yesterday, so of course our Cheng family should be grateful.
"
"Yes." Everyone in the Cheng family nodded.
Lin Yuan then carefully sat down next to Mrs. Cheng. He understood what Mrs. Cheng said. In addition to the personal relationship between Lin Yizhi and Mrs. Cheng, his grandfather Lin Yizhi did have great kindness to the Cheng family. If it weren't for Lin Yizhi,
, it is absolutely impossible for the Cheng family to continue to this day and still be extremely powerful in Binyang City.
I have to say that Lin Yuan felt very uncomfortable eating at Cheng's house. No one at the table said a word. The old lady didn't move her chopsticks, but others didn't dare to move. They didn't dare to go too far when eating. Such an occasion made Lin Yuan
No appetite either.
After dinner, Lin Yuan went to visit Cheng Mingfang, the second eldest son of the third generation of the Cheng family. Cheng Mingfang took two doses of decoction and is now much better and sober. When he saw Lin Yuan coming in, he greeted Lin Yuan with a smile:
"Dr. Lin, thank you."
"Young Master Cheng, you are so polite." Lin Yuan said politely. Although Mrs. Cheng had asked him to change his mind, Lin Yuan did not climb up the pole and called Cheng Mingfang Brother Cheng. The attitude of the old lady was that of the other people.
Lin Yuan didn't know what it meant.
While talking, Lin Yuan came to the bedside, checked Cheng Mingfang, and then warned: "He is recovering well. He will stop after drinking the remaining two doses of medicine. I will come over for a follow-up visit then."
"I made a note of it," Cheng Mingfang's wife said. She had already done something self-defeating once, and naturally she didn't dare to do it again this time.
