Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

When Wei Lanfeng came back from work in the evening, he frowned as he looked at the whole pancake and a bowl of soup on the table and his son who had disappeared. He was about to go out to look for him when he saw his son coming in from the yard with Doctor Wan through the window. He was furious when he saw his son carrying a bamboo basket and following Doctor Wan, talking and laughing attentively. He thought his son was trying to curry favor with Doctor Wan just for food.

Wei Qiu had just entered the yard and put down the bamboo basket he was carrying. He turned around and saw his father standing at the door looking at him angrily. He was so scared that he hid behind his master.

Zhou Leng turned her head to look at Wei Lanfeng. She raised her signature smile and said:

"Brother Wei, it was too late yesterday. I was just about to tell you today that I have accepted Wei Qiu as my disciple. This child is extremely talented and is serious about learning. I am just afraid that Brother Wei will think that I am not talented enough to be his teacher."

Wei Lanfeng opened and closed his mouth several times before saying:

"Doctor Wan's medical skills are recognized. If Wei Qiu learns this skill, it will be a waste of his luck. Learning this skill is already an advantage for our family. We must not take advantage of Doctor Wan's family's rice and grain."

Zhou Leng replied:

"Although I am not accepting him as my disciple to take care of him in his old age, I still have to abide by the duties of a disciple. The country has its own laws, and the teacher has his own rules. Of course, I will not interfere in the affairs between you and your son."

Wei Lanfeng smiled helplessly, then turned around and went back to his room to eat his breakfast. He knew that what the other party didn't say was that you should not interfere in our master-disciple relationship. He knew that he was a little ungrateful, but if he could give something back, he would be able to accept other people's kindness calmly. If he just kept asking for it, his conscience would be uneasy.

Wei Qiu has already shown signs of vicissitudes of life at a young age. Before he was sensible, he lived a carefree and happy life. After he was sensible, he came to Xiahewan with his parents and began to live a life of tightening his belt and cutting back on food. When he grew up, he was abandoned by his mother and suffered from hunger and poverty because of his father's poverty. Now, his life has finally welcomed two little angels, Liu Tingyan and Liu Tingfang, who have forced their mother to become a kind-hearted person.

Zhou Leng completely began the life of a barefoot doctor in the village. Every day, he would go into the mountains to collect herbs or prepare them, or teach his three children to identify herbs.

Liu Tingyan really had no talent in medicine. He would fall asleep whenever he heard the names of herbs. On the contrary, he was extremely excited when listening to his father talk about some science knowledge.

Wei Qiu is of average qualifications, but he is diligent and studious, and he respects Zhou Leng very much. Now the two of them are in a teacher-mother relationship, and the two families are tied together.

The days pass slowly in peace.

Five years later.

The village secretary went to a meeting in the township and brought back new documents, including a letter of introduction for Liu Wuqing to the reform center and the document on his rehabilitation.

Secretary Chen was thinking carefully in the village office whether he had been mistreating the four members of the Liu family over the years. He also thought that if Liu Wuqing was rehabilitated, then Doctor Wan, who had done nothing wrong in the first place, would go back to work as a doctor in a big hospital. Would the feud between his own Chen Er and their family be brought up again?

Secretary Chen struggled with his thoughts. He wanted to hide the document, but he was afraid that the truth would come out. Moreover, he knew that although the rehabilitation had begun, the first people to be rehabilitated must be talents that the country urgently needed. In the end, his clear mind reminded him not to be stupid.

Zhou Leng closed his eyes and rested in a rattan chair in the yard. The children had finally grown up and were able to stand on their own.

Wei Qiu just celebrated his fifteenth birthday. He is no longer skinny. He has been following his master into the mountains for a long time. The sufficient food has made him grow stronger. Now he has grown to 1.73 meters tall. Although he is strong, he looks very gentle. At this time, Wei Qiu is preparing herbs in the yard skillfully.

Thirteen-year-old Liu Tingyan sat under the shady wall, writing and drawing something with a branch.

Eleven-year-old Liu Tingfang sat obediently beside Zhou Leng, humming a little tune and massaging her mother's legs with her hands.

When Secretary Chen arrived, he saw this pleasant scene. He curled his lips and thought that Doctor Wan's life was really getting better and better. This time he did not rush in through the door, but instead politely shouted outside the gate:

"This is great news, Doctor Wan, this is really great news, I'm coming in now."

Zhou Leng opened his eyes and stood up to greet him. She also replied: "Secretary Chen came in person, it must be a good thing, come in and talk." She also instructed: "Xiaofang, pour some water for Secretary Chen."

The two of them went into the house and talked in an overly polite manner.

Liu Tingyan and Wei Qiu looked at each other, put down their work and went into the house to hear the good news.

Secretary Chen took out the rehabilitation documents and letter of introduction from the canvas bag with a five-pointed star on it. He said with emotion:

"For so many years, I thought your family was part of the village, but God has opened his eyes. Now that Old Liu has been rehabilitated, your family can return to the city and live a good life."

Zhou Leng took the documents and the letter of introduction and looked at them. She smiled and said:

"I have to thank Secretary Chen for sending the things to me. If you have the chance to visit us in the future, I will host you."

Secretary Chen laughed and said, "That's great, but let's talk about you and our Chen Er."

Zhou Leng interrupted him and said, "It's been so many years. Have you forgotten that I was the one who cured Chen the Hunter's hand? Don't worry."

Secretary Chen clapped his hands and said, "Oh my god, I forgot about this. You are a very generous family."

Zhou smiled coldly and said nothing.

Secretary Chen continued, "I have delivered the things as well. I won't bother you today. Let the children go find Lao Liu and ask him to come back and pack up together."

"I send you."

After Zhou Leng sent Secretary Chen away, she asked her two children to go to the village to find Liu Wuqing.

Only the master and his disciple were left in the room.

Wei Qiu was both happy and sad. He was happy that his master and his family would be able to return to the city soon, but sad about the upcoming separation. He suppressed the bitterness in his heart and said:

"Master, don't worry about us. After all, the people in the village will still rely on me to treat their illnesses after you leave. I support you."

Zhou Leng smiled with relief. She patted her silly apprentice on the shoulder and said:

"That's fine, but I think your father's rehabilitation will be soon. When you have news, please write to us and I will give you the address of your teacher's school."

"Well, Master, don't worry. I will write to you when we return to the city. If I am not doing well, I will come to you. Then you will have another burden."

Zhou Leng's smile disappeared, and she tried hard to squeeze out a sentence:

No need, you and your father will be fine, just write to the master from time to time."

The two talked for a while, and then a figure rushed into the room. He stared at the document in Zhou Leng's hand, leaned against the wall with one hand and gasped, and reached over with the other hand trembling to take the document.

Zhou Leng said unhappily, "Don't tear up the document if you are shaking like that now. And if you want to cry, just cry, but don't let your tears fall on the letter of introduction. Just take your time to read it."

"Master, take your time and look at it. I'll go out and help Master pack up his things."

Liu Wuqing nodded mechanically.

After the master and the disciple left, Liu Wuqing wiped his tears and read the documents and the letter of introduction over and over again, word by word. Finally, when he had memorized the contents, he slowly put the documents and the letter of introduction aside, then got up and went out. Seeing Zhou Leng's figure in the yard, he walked over and hugged him in his arms, saying over and over again: "Thank you, thank you for never giving up."

The three children looked at each other and then laughed together.

Zhou Leng rolled her eyes in disdain. After seeing the looks of the three children, she perfunctorily reached out and patted the man on the back and whispered, "Okay, pack your things."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." The man said hoarsely.
