Grandpa, your granddaughter and her grandson-in-law are wearing it back.

In the evening, with the help of Ye Jinhua, Liu Guiying cooked a large table of delicious food with the ingredients she had prepared in advance. She also prepared a special confinement meal for patients for Ji Ruixiang, plus a bowl of pheasant soup.

The whole family was very satisfied with the meal, even the two patients in the clinic ate ​​with relish. The food was good, the doctors were good, and both of them recovered well. They also agreed that when they left, they would leave more money for the Ye family.

Ye Jinyi also came back for dinner. Now that Li Yusen was back, he could finally be free.

He was planning to go to work at the commune tomorrow, but he had already taken several days off. If he continued like this, he would probably lose his position as team leader.

It's not that he has to be the captain, but it's embarrassing to be kicked out.

Ji Ruixiang did not come out to eat dinner. Ye Jinhua brought the food into the house. Although his health had improved a lot after taking the nourishing pill, he was still a little weak because of his old age.

Ye Jinyi also went to Ye Jinzhong's room to greet his second uncle. Ji Ruixiang was very pleased to see his second nephew's grandson, who was well behaved. His sister's descendants were all very outstanding, and their old Ji family had a successor. The only thing he hadn't seen was the third child, but he knew it would be close.

After dinner, Ji Ruixiang also went to bed early. The others also packed up and returned to their rooms. At 8 o'clock, Ye Jin just returned.

The family members were still awake, so they called everyone into Grandpa Ye's room and told him what Wang Liang had said.

After hearing Ye Jingang's words, the whole family fell into deep thought for a moment.

After a moment, Grandma Ye spoke worriedly: "Have those people come again? They haven't given up after so many years. They are really haunting us." It was not difficult to hear some anger in her tone.

"It's not certain yet. I'll ask Zhiqiang to contact Kyoto tomorrow to inquire about it." Grandpa Ye replied worriedly.

"Grandpa and Grandma, what on earth is there in our family that makes people miss us so much? And they've been thinking about us for decades. Even if that person is still alive, he must be quite old, right?"

Ye Jingang had long been curious about what kind of secrets their family was hiding, and took the opportunity of this incident to ask.

"Hey, you're all grown up now. I wanted to tell you about this when Jinzhong comes back, but I've been busy with family matters lately. Well, Jinzhong, we'll talk later. Jianguo, tell the kids about our family situation."

"Well, this is actually a long story. It has to start with your great-grandfather."

Then Ye Jianguo began a long story.

Grandma Ye’s maternal family, the Ji family, is a well-known medical family in Kyoto. The traceable inheritance has been around for more than 200 years. The ancestor even served as the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau. Later, he stopped serving in the officialdom in order to avoid being involved in the royal struggles.

The descendants also had famous doctors in the martial arts world, which can be said to have a deep family heritage. By the time of Grandma Ye's father's generation, the bloodline had withered due to the war, and in the end only the branch of Grandpa Ji's family remained.

Old Master Ji was also a remarkable man. He had been studying Chinese medicine since he was young, and his pursuit of medical skills had even reached an obsessive level. When he was young, he heard about the exquisite medical skills of Western countries, and he had always wanted to find an opportunity to learn. However, because he was the only child in the family, his parents tried their best to stop him and he was never able to do so.

After he got married and had two sons and a daughter, he resolutely embarked on the journey of studying abroad when his youngest daughter, Grandma Ye, was 3 years old and his two twin sons were 5 years old. He stayed abroad for 5 years.

Although Old Master Ji is obsessed with medicine, he is not pedantic and it cannot be said that he is a medical genius.

In five years, he learned the most advanced medical knowledge in the world at that time. He did not think that the traditional Chinese medicine he had learned since childhood was backward, nor did he think that the newly learned Western medicine was ridiculous. Each medicine has its own advantages and disadvantages.

For example, he believes that Traditional Chinese Medicine is more gentle in treating chronic diseases and is more beneficial to patients. Western medicine's surgical techniques are also faster and more effective than Traditional Chinese Medicine for treating trauma and some emergencies. He believes that if Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine can be better integrated, it will be beneficial for both patients and the development of medicine.

After Old Master Ji returned to China, he learned that his wife had gone out shopping a year ago and was killed in an accident when she encountered a gangster on the road. He was heartbroken and felt deeply guilty.

From then on, despite his fascination with medicine, he devoted all his energy to loving and educating his children, and he never remarried. To the outside world, he was a renowned physician of superb medical skills. To his children, he was a loving father, always responsive to their requests. To his children, he was a strict teacher, demanding of them.

He did not require the children to study medicine. If they had talent and were passionate about it, he would teach them medical knowledge without reservation. It didn't matter if they didn't like it. There were top talents in every profession.

He also didn't believe that the medical skills passed down by his ancestors had to be passed down by his descendants. He believed that if the skills were passed down to the best, the good medical skills would flourish and benefit more people. So he also took in a few apprentices and taught them together with the children.

However, he required his children and apprentices that no matter what they did, they must be upright, worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, and worthy of their family, country and the world. No matter the identity of the person they faced, they must be humble and polite, and even show more compassion to poor people.

Many of the Ji family's children were upright, humble, and polite, earning them widespread praise in Kyoto. The aristocratic families envied the Ji family for having such sensible and outstanding children, while also admiring Old Man Ji's exceptional medical skills and his excellent parenting. Consequently, the Ji family enjoyed a strong reputation in Kyoto, both among the upper and lower classes.

Although these children lost their mother at a young age, they were not lacking in love. The understanding and care given by their father were their greatest confidence.

Later, when the war broke out, Grandpa Ji donated all his visible property to the country, leaving behind only the courtyard house where he lived. He then became a military doctor and later served as the director of the military hospital.

When the war was not intense, Old Master Ji would try to spare some time every year to go to the Daxing Mountains to collect herbs. In his words, the Daxing Mountains are a treasure trove, with countless precious medicinal herbs.

Once when he was collecting herbs, he accidentally ran into a wild boar. Although he was not injured, he was frightened. It was Grandpa Ye's father, Old Master Ye, who saved him that time.

Old Master Ji looked at the man in front of him. His facial lines were as sharp as a knife, his tiger eyes contained a fierce light, he was tall and strong, and his height was estimated to be at least 185 cm. He had an imposing aura.

Old Master Ji had never seen such a person before. To put it bluntly, Old Master Ji was just a scholar, and most of the people around him were gentle, humble and polite. The scene of the man killing the wild boar just now was too shocking, and Old Master Ji was so frightened that he couldn't recover for a while.

He originally thought that Old Master Ye must be a hunter in the mountains since he had such great skills, but he didn't expect that after introducing each other, he found out that Old Master Ye was actually the village doctor.
