Moreover, it was just eating, not a matter of principle. It was a very rich meal of chicken, duck, and fish, delicacies from mountain and ocean.

Wang Yao’s cell phone rang. He looked at the phone number. Oops, I almost forgot it.

Unfortunately, he could not enjoy the hearty meal. Today was the day Zhou Xiong and Sha Zhihua were getting married. They invited all their friends to enjoy a banquet. They had already invited Wang Yao in advance. Since there were so many patients today, he had forgotten.

“Parents, sister, Brother Mingyang, you eat first. I have to go to Lianshan County,” Wang Yao said.

“What happened?” his mother asked.

“There is a friend who is holding a wedding today. I was so busy I forgot about it,” Wang Yao said.

“Then, you should go now. Be careful on your way,” his mother said.

Wang Yao hurriedly wrapped a red envelope containing money as a gift. He then drove to Lianshan County. He received a call from Wang Mingbao in the car.

“Don’t you know Brother Zhou is getting married today?” Wang Mingbao asked.

“I know, I am on the road,” Wang Yao replied.

“You should be careful,” Wang Mingbao said.

By the time Wang Yao left, the wedding had already begun. He finally arrived. After seeing Wang Yao, Zhou Xiong and Sha Zhihua made a special greeting.

It was the first time Wang Yao had seen Zhou Xiong wearing a suit. He looked very solemn and masculine. Sha Zhihua was beautiful and moving.

“Congratulations, congratulations! Sorry, I am late,” Wang Yao said.

“Thank you, please come in,” Zhou Xiong said.

There were not many people attending their wedding. It was mainly some of Sha Zhihua’s relatives and friends, and then Wang Yao and other friends of Zhou Xiong.

“It’s so good. It’s a good match!” Wang Mingbao sighed with a cigarette.

“Don’t envy them. You will marry soon, won’t you?” Wang Yao said with a smile.

“You are going to get married?” Tian Yuantu asked.

“Well, almost,” Wang Mingbao said with a smile.

He was now trapped in a long river of love. It was difficult to extricate himself.

“Then, congratulations to you in advance,” Tian Yuantu said.

“Thank you,” Wang Mingbao said.

The wedding was lively and warm. The faces of Zhou Xiong and Sha Zhihua constantly had a sweet smile. Only after experiencing it would one know that happiness was hard to come by. Then, it made one cherish it even more.

…

In the middle of the mountain village.

Wang Fenghua liked to drink some wine on weekdays, but Wang Yao did not like to drink. He always felt that he lacked something when he drank. Since Du Mingyang was there, he also drank some wine. So, at least there was someone accompanying him to drink. The wine was good. It was a gift from Wang Yao’s friend. The two men drank nearly two bottles of wine.

“You have drank enough,” Wang Ru said.

Du Mingyang was full of witty remarks, which made the elderly very happy.

That night, Wang Mingyang stayed and did not return to the city.

…

The wedding did not last too long. For this wedding, the eating and drinking was more like a formality.

“Be careful on your way,” Zhou Xiong said.

“Hey, congratulations to you,” Wang Yao said.

By the time he returned home, it was almost 8:30. The family was watching TV on the heated bed.

“You’re back?” Wang Ru asked.

“Yes,” Wang Yao said.

“Was the bride beautiful?” Wang Ru asked.

“Well, she is pretty,” Wang Yao said. He said the truth. Sha Zhihua was a beautiful woman in her 30s, which was the best time for a woman. She was mature and intellectual.

Wang Ru did not say anything else. No one knew what she was thinking.

Wang Yao gave the two elderly people a massage as usual, loosening the bones.

“Good.” Du Mingyang praised him.

He has stayed there twice. Each time, he saw Wang Yao giving his parents a relaxing massage. He always showed a rare filial piety.

“My brother-in-law must be a good boy,” Du Mingyang said.

He thought, My girlfriend is very good. When he first started to interact with her, he felt she was a bit rude and unreasonable. After gradually getting to know her better, he found out that she was actually a very virtuous person. Her family was also very good and reasonable, including his brother-in-law.

Du Mingyang was happy. He felt like God had really spoiled him and smiled unconsciously.

“Why are you laughing?” Wang Ru, who was on the side, gave him a jab.

“Ah, nothing, thanking God for giving me a good wife,” Du Mingyang said.

“Don’t be in a hurry. It hasn’t happened yet!” Wang Ru gave him a glance.

“No, the investigation is not over yet,” Du Mingyang joked.

Around 9:30, Wang Yao went out to the mountain alone. He still had something to do.

There were many people who had a cold these days. He had many Chinese herbal medicine, which had a good therapeutic effect, but it was not convenient to cook a large bag. He was going to process the main herbs, then grind them and mix them so that it was a smaller quantity easier to carry.

Stir fry, grind, sieve… The general process was like that. Wang Yao prepared the herbs and tools at night and would process them the next day.

That night, the cold wind outside was very cold.

…

In a home, a woman has just put a child to bed.

“It seems her cough is gone. The doctor was really skillful,” the woman said.

“Not necessarily. Maybe it was because the injection he took in the hospital was starting to work,” his husband said.

“You just don’t accept it,” she replied.

“If his ability is so big, why go to a hospital?” the man asked.

In fact, he did not agree with his wife, who had to take his son to see the doctor in the mountain village. In his opinion, their son’s situation improved because of the injection in the hospital.

“I will not argue with you as long as my child is good,” the women said.

Not everyone was so convinced of Wang Yao’s medical skills, even if they saw it with their own eyes.

…

After the meal, the two old men returned to the house. Du Mingyang whispered to Wang Ru. “Has your brother been on Nanshan Hill when it is so cold?”

“Well, he used to do it,” Wang Ru said.

“There is no heater on the mountain on such a cold day?” Du Mingyang asked.

“It’s not cold on the mountain.” Wang Ru, who went over the mountain, naturally knew what was happening on the mountain. She was very curious and admired her brother’s ability in this aspect.

“When is the matter between us settled?” Du Mingyang asked.

“What are you worried about?” Wang Ru asked..

“Such a good wife, I am afraid that others will want you,” Du Mingyang said.

He said the truth. Since his colleagues and buddies had met her, they envied him.

He heard that in Wang Ru’s workplace, there were still many people who sent flowers to her. He was afraid that there might be someone wanting to steal his future wife. Plus, his parents were very fond of Wang Ru. They had nothing to say but gave him an order to marry her as soon as possible.

“After the New Year,” Wang Ru said.

“Well, kiss me,” Du Mingyang said.

“You must stop. We’re at home!” Wang Ru gave him a look.

On the mountain, it was warm. Wang Yao has prepared everything so he would be able to make it the next day. He looked at the sky for a while. Would the weather change? The dog also looked at the sky. It naturally could not guess anything.

The next day, the scenery on the mountains was the same. Wang Yao got up very early. He did not go down the mountain right away. He wanted to prepare some medicines on the mountain. He told family about it so he could spare them from waiting for him to have a meal.

Different herbs required different treatments. Some needed to be fried. Some needed to be aired. Some needed to be air dried.

There were several herbs that he planted, which had been processed before, and one or two of which were purchased from Li Maoshuang.

Grinding was the purest ancient method. He used the powder sieve to grind them. It was boring, repetitious, and meticulous work.

Wang Yao was not anxious. For him, it was like slowly making stew by a small fire or cooking fresh food.

Wang Yao was not in a hurry, but there was someone outside the mountain being hurried. “Why hasn’t he come yet!”

With the internet, news spread quickly. Thanks to the internet, there were quite a few people who knew through there was a young man in the mountain village. As for the WeChat, whoever encountered something new often liked to post it. Some people posted the conditions Wang Yao treated. Everyone who had a headache or cold felt it was troublesome to go to hospital. After all, the check-ups had to be done again, even thought it was not a serious illness. No one wanted to go there. A good doctor and a private clinic was actually very popular.

The more people who spread the news, the better his reputation would be. Naturally, there were more people who came to visit him for treatment.

It wasn’t even 9 a.m. and there several cars parked outside the clinic. Some were adults. Some were with children.

“Oh, it’s Sunday,” one of the patients said. “The doctor might not come today.”

It was the first time for most of the people had gone there for treatment. They did not know Wang Yao’s rules and habits.
