"Your mother came here before, I checked her. She had a good health foundation and didn't need to take any tonics to maintain the status quo." Uncle Lao Yao walked to a bookshelf in the room, searched through the old booklets, and finally brought Xu Ning a lot of books, most of which were manuscripts, and many of them were damaged in pages. Nearly half of these books were bound books, and the old styles were like reading backwards.

According to Lao Yao's words, Xu Ning sat down at a table in front of him, "I am very interested in cooking, and I think the profession of doctor is very good, so I want to get in touch with it."

Uncle Yao understood what Xu Ning said and smiled and said, "How old is he? Are you starting to think of a way out?"

"Follow it up first, there is no harm in learning more, it's not bad." She didn't say directly that she wanted to study medicine. In her opinion, doctors are a very sacred profession. She may not be able to save lives and heal the wounded, but it should be okay to make some medicinal food.

"These are all accumulated by our ancestors. I checked them tightly a few years ago, and I hid them all. After hiding them for several years, some of them became moldy, but the words can still be seen clearly."

Xu Ning opened a book and saw that there were many words on it, but she didn't recognize them because many of them were traditional Chinese. It was obvious that the way they looked like these books had gone through a long period of time.

In the following time, Xu Ning chatted with Uncle Lao Yao while reading. All the things in the book were mentioned, and Uncle Lao Yao also said everything. He even said many things that need attention in detail.

During this period, Xu Ning would carefully record some things that he needed to pay attention to.

Uncle Lao Yao saw Xu Ning's serious look, and his eyes were filled with praise.

As dusk approached, Xu Ning stood up and said, "Grandpa Yao, I'll go home first. Don't cook tonight. I'll send it to you later."

Uncle Yao smiled and shook his head, and said kindly: "Be good at Ningning, Grandpa Yao is still stuffy in the pot, don't give it to him."

Xu Ning did not refute, said hello to the old man and left.

After walking a distance, she turned around and looked at the dilapidated courtyard behind her, and suddenly felt very sad.

Not to mention his wife, she was the son who left with Lao Yao, who was quarreling with Uncle Lao. Xu Ning was filled with sighs when he thought about it. How much hatred was this that he never came back once he left.

The people in the village also felt particularly sorry and sympathized with Uncle Lao Yao, just because he was a very kind old man. Moreover, in the past few decades, the village had serious illnesses and minor illnesses. If you don’t have money, you can take credit. To be honest, nearly half of the people in the entire Xiangshan Village owed Uncle Lao Yao’s medicine money, but the old man never asked for it. He just gave it to anyone who is more relaxed.

If some people want to rely on debt, they don’t need Lao Yao to follow the crowd, the condemnation of those people in the village will make the other party unable to bear it.

How could his son bear such a good person?

But the other party has not been moving for more than 30 years, and many people feel that his son is probably no longer alive.

Once he came back with a broken leg from the battlefield, and the government had to change places for him several times, but the old man refused to agree to anything. He must have been worried that his son would not be able to find him one day.

When I got home, my grandmother and mother had already returned.

"Where have you been? I'm back so late?" The old lady was feeding pigs and asked when she saw her come in.

"Go to Grandpa Yao's house and learn some knowledge of medicinal materials." Xu Ning walked to grandma, "It's really not easy for Grandpa Yao."

The old lady also sighed, "Yes, lonely."

"I'll give some dishes tonight, and I'll give some to Grandpa." Xu Ning said and went into the kitchen.

Xu Ning has prepared everything he needs to do in the evening. He has steamed buns and vegetables and pancakes at home, and only needs to stir-fry two dishes.

Although Grandpa Yao said he didn't need to give it to him, although the old man had something to eat, he was old and his physical strength was limited after all. Their family is in good condition now. Since he wanted to ask Grandpa Yao for knowledge about medicinal food, he would naturally not be stingy with his own things.

Xu Ning prepared to deliver a portion of fried cabbage meat and radish old duck soup, plus a small bowl of pickled pickles that the old lady had pickled.

As soon as I walked to my doorstep, I saw Xu Jianjun pushing his bicycle off work, with several large and small bags hanging on the handlebars.

"Where is this going?" Xu Jianjun asked.

Xu Ning raised the food in his hand, "I troubled Grandpa Yao in the afternoon and sent him some food tonight."

"You're at home, I'll go and take it." Xu Jianjun stopped his bicycle and sent the things into the house. He came out with the food and went out.

At this time, Uncle Lao Yao was having a meal at home. The dim light wattage was a little low, and the old room was a little dim.

His supper was made of two pancakes, a cold radish and a plate of stir-frying dishes, which was very simple.

I have been eating a meal alone for decades, and it seems that I have become very accustomed to it since it was difficult to swallow it.

Many people in the village privately advised Lao Yao to find another wife, so that at least there was someone at home who could help with cooking and chatting, but he refused.

He always feels that he is an unknown person and is unwilling to harm others.

"Uncle Lao Yao!" Xu Jianjun came in and saw the simple meal on the table of the old man in front of him, and his heart suddenly felt a little sour, "You are just eating this little thing?"

"Jianjun, sit down." Seeing the visitor, Lao Yao asked Xu Jianjun to sit down, "The food is not bad, it is much better than before."

Xu Jianjun said disagreeably: "It used to be the past, and now life is good now, don't be wronged. This is the meal made by Ningning. It tastes very good. That girl asked me to send it to you."

He got up and went to the stove to find two big bowls and served the food he brought. "Look, it's still steaming. These are the pickles my mother pickled by herself. They taste very refreshing and are all worthless things. If you like it, just open your mouth. There are a lot of them at home."

Smelling the fragrant food in front of him, Uncle Lao Yao's lips trembled twice, "I said I wouldn't let that girl give it to me, you have to go there."

"What's the matter? The cabbage is grown in our own fields. This year, our family has grown a lot. If you like it, I'll send some to you."

"Please trouble you guys."

"No trouble." Xu Jianjun sat here and chatted with the old man for a while. He saw that it was completely dark, but he got up and left.

The old man returned to the house and slowly finished two pancakes, and most of the dishes were gone. I have to say that the little girl was really talented in cooking, no wonder she wanted to learn to make medicinal food.

Looking up at the stars outside the window, the old man's eyes were filled with desolation and hollowness.

In the past, the house was full of laughter and joy. I don’t know when the house became lifeless. No one spoke at night, only the sound of insects and crickets hiding where they were quiet and made people feel panicked.

If his son was still alive, he would be in his forties now, so he should still be alive.

I really hope he is still alive, even if he never comes back, it doesn't matter, as long as he is still alive.

"Xu Ning!" As soon as he walked into the classroom, he heard Zhang Meng greet her loudly.

"Here you." She came to her seat, "What's so happy?"

Zhang Meng widened her eyes, "Don't you know?"

"What do you know?" There has been no exam recently, and nothing big is happening. Is there anything she doesn't know about?

"In the autumn sports meeting, you think about studying all day long and your mind is confused, right?" Zhang Meng said excitedly: "Our school is going to hold the autumn sports meeting this Friday."

"Oh!" Xu Ning suddenly realized that she knew this. The Spring Sports Games were very lively. The school was held in March every year. When Xu Ning came back from rebirth, the Spring Sports Games had ended.

The autumn sports meet every year is in November of the Gregorian calendar. There are few events, all of which are racing activities, including one hundred meters, four hundred meters, eight hundred meters, one thousand five hundred meters, three thousand meters and ten kilometers of cross-country races.

People’s cross-country races are driving, and they also drive, but it’s just bus No. 11.

That's right, it just ran with two legs.

There are many events in the spring sports meeting, and there are also high jumps, long jumps, javelins, basketballs, footballs and so on, which is very lively.

Every year, parents of students will come to the school to watch the competition. Those who have good grades will get notebooks, ballpoint pens and other school supplies issued by the school.

Things are not very valuable, but they are a glory.

"So, you want to sign up?" Xu Ning asked.

She is not going to sign up, she knows very well what level of her physical strength.

However, Lu Xuejiao in their class runs quite fast. She has competitions every year, sometimes she is the first and second, and never falls out of the top three.

Zhang Meng nodded happily, "I am idle, and our class teacher will definitely say that it is important to participate. Friendship first and competition second, etc. I will sign up for the cross-country race."

"You are amazing." Xu Ning gave a thumbs up, "That's ten kilometers, twenty miles, ten thousand meters. I had to run two thousand meters on the playground before, a full ten thousand two thousand meters."

"What's the matter? I'll take a break when I'm tired on the road. Anyway, I can run the entire journey." Zhang Meng adhered to the purpose of participating this time, "You have to cheer me up then."

"...Well, I will cheer you on the playground. You can run the ten kilometers by yourself."

"That's all."

The Autumn Sports Games are held together by the junior and senior high school, and of course the competition results are calculated separately.

On the way to school, Xu Ning and Xie Zheng talked about this sports meeting.

Xie Zheng yawned and said lazily: "Let's just sit by and watch."

"Hey, Brother Zheng is not planning to register?" Xu Ning was quite surprised. She knew that Xie Zheng had good sports cells, especially basketball was very good. Because of this when she was young, there were not too many female classmates who liked him.

The autumn waves I gave in secret can’t be finished all year round.

"It's a surprise?" Xie Zheng chuckled, "I'm not alone, so I won't go."

"I want to go, but I can't run fast." Xu Ning was very depressed.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Xie Zheng next to him laugh, "That's right, you'd better not drag the class down."

Xu Ning's body proportions are very good, with her legs slender and straight and looking quite long. As she grows taller, the proportions will become more and more perfect.

But I have to say that no matter how she looks at it, she is not a good athletic ability.

Xu Ning was not angry when she was teased by Xie Zheng. She was telling the truth, and she didn't think there was anything to be ashamed.

"We just need to sit in the stands on the day of the competition." After laughing, Xie Zheng rubbed her black hair as a comfort.

Although after returning from rebirth, Xu Ning often practiced in the morning and his breath gradually stabilized, it did not mean that she ran fast. At best, she was relatively long-lasting. If she was running a cross-country race, it would be no problem to persist. Don’t count on rankings, and you can’t even think about sprinting.

Because there was a sports meeting this week, the students in the school became excited and felt that everyone was in a very good mood.

On the day of the sports meeting, you don’t need to go to school on time. You can arrive before 8:30 in the morning. The sports meeting starts on time at 9:00.

Qin Xuejuan looked at her daughter and asked again: "I really don't need mom to go and see it?"

"Well, no need." Xu Ning shook his head, "You are pregnant now. There must be many people in the school today. Don't be hurt. Besides, I haven't participated in the competition. You should be at home. We should finish school at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and we will take two days off this week."

Seeing his daughter say this, Qin Xuejuan didn't insist and nodded in agreement.

She had previously worried that her daughter would feel uncomfortable because she didn't go. After all, on a day like this today, the countryside is not busy with farming. Many parents would go to school to see it. Knowing that her daughter cares about her, she also enjoys this care.
