"Dad, Mom, keep it." Su Tong had specially gone to the bank after work. He knew his parents 'personalities. They were old-fashioned. They always felt that the money was better left in the bank.
The two elders took it and looked at it. Su Tong's mother was stunned by the series of zeros on the screen." Dad, can you help me get my presbyopic glasses? I can't see clearly."”
Su Tong's father accepted the order and left. When he came back, he handed the presbyopic glasses to his wife and looked at his son with a surprised and uncertain gaze.
The old couple stared at the number on the passbook and confirmed it three or four times. Finally, they were sure that there was a huge sum of one million in the passbook that their son handed over.
However, there was no surprise on their faces. Instead, the two elders looked at Su Tong solemnly."Son, tell us the truth. Where did you get so much money? We can't do anything illegal.”
Su Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her parents 'solemn expressions." Dad, Mom, I earned it through my work.”
"Nonsense. You earn more than 4,000 yuan a month. Do you think we don't know?”
"I've already resigned. I'm working in an antique shop now.”In order to increase her persuasiveness, Su Tong simply showed her parents the transfer agreement with Xia Mo and Xia Mo's transfer records so that they could rest assured." I was lucky and found two good antiques. A pair of Lion Head Walnuts sold for one million, and the other two Buddha beads were bought by Uncle Wang, the owner of the antique shop I work for, for four hundred thousand.”
She glanced at Xia Mo's flashy profile picture and saw the 400,000 yuan on Su Tong's account. After confirming the transfer agreement a few more times, she finally calmed down and was overjoyed.
"It's said that good luck raises people. That's right. Look at our son, he's even more handsome than before.”Su Tong's mother patted her son's arm and smiled widely, as if she wasn't the one who questioned her son." Also, your father and I are not short of money. To be honest, we have saved more than 300,000 yuan. We're preparing to make a down payment for you. With this one million yuan, we'll give you 50% of the down payment for a house in the city. You'll get 400,000 yuan for renovation, and the rest will be used to buy a car that costs 100,000 yuan. The RV is ready. Hurry up and find a good girl. Your father and I are waiting to hug someone from another generation.”
Alright, she had arranged everything for him clearly.
"Mom, Mom! Listen to me. This is not even a sign yet. Why is it that a generation has passed?”
"Don't worry about that. Your father and I will mark that line for you. You just need to focus on the next line. Your dad's old colleague has a daughter who's single…"
Su Tong felt a headache coming on. She made a gesture of surrender with both hands."Mom, I just graduated from university. Why are you in such a hurry? Besides, my career has just started and I want to focus on my career first. I'll keep the 400,000 yuan for my collection in the future.”
In the past, Su Tong did not have the confidence to say such words, but now, he was too confident. Not to mention the others, just the two antiques in his rented apartment were worth a total of millions, not to mention the peerless treasure that Elder Yu brought back to the capital.
Seeing that her mother still didn't give up, Su Tong looked at her father for help.
"I say, it's not easy for our son to make some progress in his work. Don't hold him back. As seniors, we should happily accept this one million yuan. I don't believe that our son can't earn a second or third one million yuan.”
Su Tong's mother couldn't help but grin. Su Tong secretly gave his father a thumbs up and put her arm around his mother's shoulder."Mom, don't worry. Don't worry about spending the money. Buy a car first and drive around on the weekend. I'll tell you everything. I'll definitely let you live in a big villa in the city in the future! I'll also give you a military pledge. I'll definitely let you and my father have grandchildren before the age of 30!”
His mother lost her temper after being teased by him." You only know how to sweet-talk people.”
Su Tong laughed foolishly. He thought to himself, I'm really not trying to coax you. If I give the Elixir Wood Carving to Elder Yu's association, it'll be a million yuan. However, he decided not to say it for now. He was afraid that he would scare me.
That night, Su Tong's parents chatted happily for a long time. They were both pleased with their son's understanding and proud of his achievements.
Early the next morning, Su Tong was dug out of bed.
The air in the mountains was good in the morning. After breakfast, his mother asked his father to bring Su Tong and his son up the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs. They were not there for the medicinal herbs, but for exercise and fresh air.
Although the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs in Su Tong's hometown was in full swing, it was actually the result of the development in the past six or seven years. Su Tong lived on campus for three years in high school and spent four years in the provincial capital in university. The timing was perfect. He knew almost nothing about medicinal herbs.
Su Tong's father didn't expect him to be of any help. He was afraid that he would be bored, so he suggested that they go down the mountain early and take their fishing gear to go fishing.
However, when she thought of her intuition that the Pill Wood could cure illnesses, Su Tong showed great interest in digging up medicinal herbs."Dad, we have so many medicinal herb bases here. As a local, I don't know anything about them. It's not right. Today, I can learn more from you.”
No matter when parents heard that their children wanted to take the initiative to learn, they would be happy and gratified. Su Tong's father was no exception.
"The ancient method of picking herbs is mostly in February and August, which is not very appropriate. It was just that the February grass had already sprouted, while the stem and leaves in August had not withered yet, making it easier for the herb gatherers to identify it. It was not the best time to harvest the herbs. Generally speaking, if the roots were to be used as medicine, if there were old roots, they had to be picked when the stems and leaves had not yet grown out, because at this time, the liquid of the herbs would be concentrated in the roots.”
As he spoke, Su Tong's father casually pushed aside the weeds on the mountain path and pulled out a yellow glutinous rice."Look, the roots below are old, and there are stems and leaves on top. Think about it. Isn't it empty and frivolous?”
Su Tong took it and tried it. It was indeed so.
"Those that don't have old roots will have to wait until the stems and leaves have grown but have not yet bloomed. At this time, the roots have grown sufficiently and have not aged. For example, when these purple comfrey were plucked when there were no flowers, the roots were moist and bright. When they were plucked after the flowering period, the roots would be dark and ugly.”
As he spoke, he pointed at a patch of purple grass three to five meters away.
Su Tong nodded and listened with great interest.
"There are many mountains here and the terrain is high. The situation is different."
"What? What difference could there be if he grew up in a higher position?”Su Tong was puzzled.
"Child, you're the descendant of a farmer. You can't be lazy and forget your roots. Herbs and crops were the same. Some of the rice ripened in July, some in August and September, and some in October. The grass in the Wuling area did not wither even in winter. When they reached the boundary of Bing and Fen, the trees would shed their leaves as autumn approached. The flowers would bloom in March on the plains, but in the mountains, it would only bloom in April and May.”
Su Tong listened obediently. When she heard the last sentence, she suddenly had an idea."Dad, I know this. April in the human world is over, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom!”
