Chapter 8 Prodigy

When he woke up early the next day, his grandfather made him breakfast and lunch at school. Then he sorted and packaged the medicinal materials that Mu Wenbin picked. Then when Xiangzi arrived, he followed Xiangzi to the town. When they arrived in the town,

First, I went to school to register and paid some tuition and miscellaneous fees. Since nine-year compulsory education is implemented across the country, the money I paid was not much.

After doing this, grandpa picked up the medicine bag and prepared to go to the drugstore to sell the medicinal materials he collected.

At this time, Mu Wenbin grabbed his grandfather because he found that his illness was actually cured and wanted to ask him how he was doing: "Grandpa, haven't you been in poor health? I just discovered why your health is so good today?"

"Grandpa doesn't know what's going on. When he woke up in the morning, he suddenly felt energetic all over the body. Even the old problems he had for many years seemed to have been alleviated a lot. Maybe it was because he felt happy when he saw you go to school and he recovered." His grandfather also said no.

I understand what's going on. I just said that when I wake up in the morning, I feel very relaxed all over my body, as if I am a few years younger. Is it because I feel happy watching my grandson go to school?

Although Mu Wenbin also felt very baffled, he was heartily happy to see his grandfather getting better, so he didn't ask any more questions. He sent his grandfather off and went to the classroom.

After leaving school, grandpa found a medicine shop in the town that specialized in selling medicinal materials. Because there were a lot of medicinal materials in the mountains, many villagers used to go into the mountains to collect medicines when they had nothing to do, and then sold them in the town. Therefore, there was this kind of medicine in the town.

Shops that specialize in selling medicinal materials. Although there are very few people who go into the mountains to collect medicinal materials now, these shops still remain. The shop that my grandfather found was one he often went to before, so he was very familiar with it. He took the medicine to

The boss looked at it, inspected it again and said with a smile: "The old wood is still not old. The medicinal materials you brought are of very good quality. There are also two Ganoderma lucidum and one wild ginseng. Although the age is less, these medicinal materials are of good quality."

The quality of the medicinal materials is still very good. I haven’t seen such good wild medicinal materials for a long time. Don’t say that my old friend won’t take care of you. How about I offer a total of one thousand yuan for these medicines?”

"A thousand dollars? It's not much. Forget it. We are all old friends. I'll give it all to you." Grandpa looked calm but was extremely excited inside. It's just that he hasn't gone to the mountains to collect herbs for a few years. Now the herbs are so valuable. You know,

This was in the 1990s, when workers' wages were less than three hundred yuan a month. One thousand yuan was almost enough to cover his family's annual expenses. Where could this brat find so many good medicines?

Mu Wenbin is in the town's primary school. Although he is 8 years old, because he has never been to school, the school arranged for him to go to preschool. There are not many courses. He studies for half a day and plays for half a day, and he also learns Chinese pinyin and Arabic numerals.

He was not taught Chinese characters. He was listless in studying all day long. The teacher thought it was because he was older than his classmates.

When I got home from school in the evening, I found that my family had stewed braised pork in a big pot, which was enough for the whole village. My grandma’s eyes also healed inexplicably. When my grandson came back, grandma happily pulled her grandson and said, “It’s really great.”

The ancestors showed up, and your grandfather and I were cured of our illnesses. Grandpa also sold all the herbs he collected for a thousand yuan, and bought thirty kilograms of pork belly when he came back from town.

He was also very happy to see his grandma smiling happily. He knew that his grandpa did not buy so much meat because he sold it for so much money at once, but because he wanted to give some to every house in the village, because the village usually helped his family more.

.

Mu Wenbin went to school with Brother Xiangzi early the next morning. When he went to school today, he decided to go to the teacher to learn literacy. The teacher's eyes widened when he heard this, but when he met such an active and studious student,

The teacher was still very happy, so he made a special case for him and taught him thirty words every day. He had been studying very seriously. Within a few days, he became famous in the school. His learning progress was even much faster than

For the senior students, the principal was so excited that with tears in his eyes he said that there was a prodigy in the school.

The week passed quickly. I had two days off on the weekend. I got up early on Saturday and went into the mountains. The master was very happy to see him. He didn't teach him how to read today, but took him to learn to swim in the small pool.

The water in the pond was not deep. Mu Wenbin learned very quickly. He learned to swim and dive in half a day. He also caught a few small fish in the pond. The master said these were called crucian carp. After peeling and cleaning them, he

The fire was lit, and the two of them grilled fish to fill their bellies. After eating, the master took him to the mountains to collect some medicinal materials and wild fruits, but he picked more fruits because he had promised his sister, and the master happily agreed. Return

When he got home, the master gave him all the fruits, but kept all the medicinal materials, but he didn't care about it anymore. After all, the money from the medicinal materials just sold was enough for them to use for a year.

Sunday was also a day spent with the master. Although he had not yet learned any medical skills, Mu Wenbin felt that the time spent with the master was the happiest time for him. Even if he recalled it many years later, the corners of his mouth would raise.

Time flies, half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the name of the child prodigy spread throughout the town. An eight-year-old naughty boy actually learned more than 2,000 Chinese characters in more than 100 days, and at the same time learned addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 1,000.

In the past six months, Mu Wenbin's life can be said to be relatively simple. He went to school from Monday to Friday and went to the master's place for two days on the weekend. The master didn't teach him anything. He just took him to catch fish, fish and shrimp, pick herbs and fruits, and his health was surprisingly good.

She is doing well, she has never been sick, her grandparents are getting better and better, and her sister is growing faster than other children of the same age. Grandma said this is a manifestation of her ancestors!

The first semester is over. At this time, Mu Wenbin already knows more than 2,500 Chinese characters. It can be said that he knows all the commonly used Chinese characters. Early in the morning on the first day of the holiday, he happily ran into the mountains and followed his master.

He was already very familiar with it. He didn't even say hello when he arrived. He went straight into the cave. The master was inside. He closed his eyes lightly as usual and sat cross-legged. The master once told him that this was called meditation, and he started to follow suit.

After sitting for less than ten minutes, I couldn't stand it any more. My legs were so numb that I could hardly walk. I saw the master meditating, so I didn't bother him. I just picked up the wild fruits on the stone platform and ate them. The master took him in the mountains.

I picked six kinds of wild fruits in total. Except for the one I brought to my grandparents the day before going to school, I picked the others every time.

Today he found that besides a few wild fruits, there was a book on the stone table. It was the book that the master had read to him before he asked him to learn calligraphy. After he started learning calligraphy, the master never took it out again. He didn't recognize the words in it before.
