Chapter 3 Master Zhitianming and Stubborn Youth [2]
Xie Chun clearly remembered that it was the early summer of 1978, when he was 18 years old and said that he was an adult by his master. That evening when the master received a letter, his face turned blue and his heart turned gray. He lay in bed and couldn't sleep. He didn't feed a little rice for two days in a row. After Xie Chun got the master's consent, he read the letter.
It turns out that Shifu was cured by a mistake in the past. Who dares to rehabilitate Shifu? Shifu's wife died several years ago. The children have never told him that they are afraid of being involved by their father. This letter is to sever their kinship with Shifu. They begged Shifu to let them and their children go and give them a way to live.
Xie Chun's Shifu is an old scholar who believes in the traditional thoughts of father and son, monarch and minister. Now his children want to cut off all relations with him, which is no less than a bolt from the blue. How could he accept such a serious blow, so he refused to eat and fell ill.
Xie Chun knelt in front of the master's bed. Wensheng persuaded him, 'Don't you always say that masters and disciples are like father and son? I have no relatives, and I would like to recognize you as my adoptive father. I will serve you all my life and bury you in mourning. ''
His master laughed after hearing this, and then gradually recovered. He wrote a letter to his sons and daughters to sever relations, but he never promised to accept Xie Chun as his adopted son, but he was still over 80 years old. When the autumn wind rose, he died. Xie Chun sent his master to a spiritual burial in mourning.
Later, Xie Chun found that he had nowhere to go, and the farm could not take him in permanently, so he had to contact the villagers of his clan. At that time, the three clan masters who were still the head of the clan decided to take him back to the village, and made it clear who would be difficult to expel from the village with Xie Chun. When Xie Chun arrived at the village happily, he saw the white filial piety cloth hanging in the village, and all the villagers were paying their respects to the three clan masters.
Xie Chun was confused at that time. Isn't it a fucking coincidence? As for how to settle Xie Chun, it has become a problem for the whole village. No one has the right to drive Xie Chun out. They treat Xie Chun as a disaster star, and the villagers don't care about him. Young Xie Chun is heartbroken.
In the end, Xie Chun's eldest son, Xie Chun's uncle, gave Xie Chun the only place in the village to serve as a soldier, which attracted envy from his brothers of the same size as Xie Chun. All the people in the village ignored him. On the day of sending the soldiers, Xie Chun swore to all the villagers in the village: 'If I don't make a name outside, Xie Chun will never step into the village for life.'
When Xie Chun arrived at the army, the leader of his army asked him how many years he had studied? He replied proudly, 'Twelve years, four books and five classics, zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, we are all good at everything, and we have mastered the nine chapter book counting and bookkeeping.' '
The leader of the army smiled happily. He was an important talent, but when Xie Chunyi showed his knowledge, the leader of the army was stunned, and all the leaders were also stunned: 'My God, where did the antique come from?'
It turns out that Xie Chunyi has a good command of classical Chinese, and no one can understand it. Although western medicine is widely used in the army, Chinese medicine has not been abolished, and it is still useful; It goes without saying that where to find an ancient zither for him, the army now uses accordion and harmonica; No one knows chess or go. There are chess teams, but that's just a hobby. Calligraphy, of course, is calligraphy. Xie Chun's traditional calligraphy is very good, but few people can understand it. For nearly 30 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, simplified characters are commonly used. Who knows traditional characters; Xie Chun can draw freehand. In fact, Xie Chun can sketch, because his master accidentally learned from him and later taught him. He is not useful in the army; No one can understand the ancient bookkeeping method.
The army leaders were worried. At that time, people's cultural quality was generally low. Those who joined the army from the countryside graduated from junior high school were also good talents. After several discussions, the army leaders positioned Xie Chun as a junior high school graduate and sent him to the military hospital after a little training as a medical soldier.
At this time, Xie Chuncai knew that the master had played a big joke on him and taught him a skill that was almost useless. But Xie Chunhe was stubborn, competitive and intelligent. He had a good memory. After joining the medical team, he settled down to learn about wound dressing [in fact, there are also traditional Chinese medicine, but the techniques are different] injection and western medicine usage.
After the allowance was given, he went outside the army. The local residents' school spent money to buy a set of primary school textbooks. When he came back, he had the cheek to ask his sister nurse to teach him Pinyin and simplified characters, which became a joke in the army for a long time.
One year later, Xie Chun graduated from junior high school with great honor. The five-year primary school curriculum was completed in one year. The simplified brush and pen characters ranked first in the whole group. The basic surgical operation made the medical soldiers who had learned for several years blush with shame. The use of western medicine has also been refined. It is more effective to use it together with traditional Chinese medicine.
The company commander of his unit was very happy. With the approval of the superior, Xie Chun was appointed as the squad leader, and was specially approved to enter the military hospital for further study. Another year passed in a hurry, Xie Chun returned to the company. The former company commander had transferred to the local area, and the new company commander was a bold man. After hearing Xie Chun introduced himself as a medical soldier and returned from further study in the military hospital, it happened that the pig disease occurred in the breeding farm, Let him have a look.
The doctor and the pig were the same. Xie Chun rushed to the feedlot again. After a careful inspection, Xie Chun went to the mountain near the army to collect herbs. He cured the pig without spending a penny. The company commander was glad that he was still a veteran. He promoted Xie Chun to a rank one and became a platoon mate, and arranged to become a veterinarian in the feedlot.
Another person must report to the above. Xie Chun has deeply implemented the spirit of "I do what the Party asks me to do". He has become a veterinarian in the feedlot. There is not much work for the veterinarian in the feedlot. In addition to normal training, there is still a lot of time left. Xie Chun also buys junior high school and high school books for self-study, sometimes goes to the mountains to pick herbs and paint, and also buys a flute to play with no teacher.
The leisurely life made Xie Chun forget the passage of time. Three years later, he continued to serve as a volunteer for three years. Soon in 1985, the army was replaced by a company commander. Seeing that a veteran of six years was also a veterinarian, Xie Chun was transferred to local work without investigation. Xie Chun immediately refused to transfer to local work.
Finally, Xie Chun received a severance allowance and went to the south. After several years of hard work, he opened an antique shop in a big city. In addition to buying and selling antiques, he also sold his paintings. Unexpectedly, he was praised by the public, rising from several thousand yuan to more than ten thousand yuan each. That was in the 1990s, and hundreds of thousands of yuan was already a huge amount of money.
At that time, he was more than thirty years old. At an accidental ancient culture gathering, Xie Chun met his wife Liu Yan. Both of them were lovers of ancient culture. It can be said that it was love at first sight. Liu Yan, despite his parents' opposition, launched a fierce love attack on Xie Chun, who was a love bird. After their marriage, they became more harmonious, One year later, Liu Yan gave birth to a son, and three years later, the second son was born. Although he was fined a sum of money, the couple were also very happy.
Xie Chun has suffered enough without a diploma these years, because without a diploma, his medical skill of combining Chinese medicine with Western medicine has nowhere to show; Because he didn't have a diploma, he had to work as a coolie in some small factories after he retired from the army; Because of his lack of diploma, his paintings were criticized by some experts and professors as having no foundation.
Therefore, he was admitted to the correspondence university in 1995. Although he was admitted with real skills, he was not recognized by others. Although some people deliberately criticized him, his paintings were still widely loved by the public, gradually making Xie Chun a famous master of painting, and also brought him a lot of wealth.
Later, he studied ancient culture intensively, and his cultural knowledge became more and more abundant. He also attended many special TV programs on ancient culture research. His rich knowledge cultivation made the audience applaud. The government department of his hometown also invited him many times, but he declined politely. However busy he was, he would come to Huangshan to worship his master.
He knew that it was the master who gave him life, taught him cultural knowledge, and made him live a superior life today. But what the master gained was only his annual sacrifice in front of the grave. This time, he really could not bear the pain of homesickness. He took the opportunity to reunite with the people of his clan. Unexpectedly, an accident happened, and his soul passed through time and space to attach to the boy, making him trapped in the dense forest.
