Chapter 56: Washing Parents' Feet
Wang Youcai didn't care about foot soaking, but asked: "Pingan, what are you saying? What are you going to do if you are no longer by your parents in the future?"
Yang also reacted and asked quickly: "Yes, you are going to travel far, why don't you ask us in advance?" She was a little angry. When did her son learn to take his own actions!
Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Isn't it just about going to Beijing to take the exam next year? You can't let the court set up the examination room in our Xuzhou. Besides, the journey is long and I'm not a child anymore. I can't let my parents accompany you. You can't stand the bumps!"
Yang was happy and said, "It turns out that Master Qiu has really given you a quota. Why didn't you say it earlier just now?" She just heard Wang Ping'an say that Qiu Wenpu had nothing to say, and was very disappointed. Now, after hearing what his son said, hope rose again.
Wang Youcai clapped his hands and smiled, "I understand. Although I didn't give it now, I will definitely give it in the future." He said to Yang, "Old woman, this is like we do to tenants. If a tenant works carefully and gives our family more effort, wouldn't I say on the spot? I have to wait until after the autumn, I should reduce the rent, reduce it, and give it some New Year's goods, and give it some!"
Yang understood and clapped her hands. She now had a special liking for clapping and said with a smile: "Isn't this a good way to test whether the tenant is really diligent. If he put in two efforts, even if we didn't say anything, but still worked hard, then this person must reward him. If he put in two efforts, he would stop doing it when he saw that we didn't say anything and gave him no benefits, so we just saved a lot!"
Wang Ping'an heard his parents compare him to a tenant, and couldn't help but feel funny, thinking: "It seems that ancient people are not worse than modern people. The tricks that bosses use for employees in modern workplaces have been used to perfection in the early years of the Tang Dynasty!"
He said, "Okay, let's go to the bedroom, my son will teach you how to wash your feet!"
"Do you need to learn how to wash your feet? Which book can write about foot washing!" Yang always believed that as long as it was written in the book, it was a big question. How could you get to the table like foot washing? It was written into the book!
The three of them entered the bedroom. Wang Ping'an asked Ding Danruo and Ke Lianwu to help to find two high-waisted wooden basins. The basin circumference should be enough to reach the knees. The two little girls went out to search and only found one. There were quite a few basins in the Wang family, but it would be difficult to find a basin that was too high, unless it was a wooden barrel, but the wooden barrel had a handle, and the handle could not be removed, so it was not suitable to be used as a foot wash basin.
When Mrs. Yang saw this wooden basin, she smiled and said to Wang Ping'an: "Son, do you still remember this basin? This was used for bathing when you were a child. Your father specially asked a carpenter to make it. So many years have passed, and my son has grown up. This basin can't hold you anymore!"
Wang Ping'an said: "When he was young, his parents bathed their children, and now they washed their feet." He asked the servant to bring hot water and cold water, adjust the water temperature, and asked the two little girls to prepare a large pot of hot water and set it aside for use. Take off their shoes and socks for their parents and put their feet in a basin.
Wang Youcai shook his head and said, "This water is not hot enough. The water used by dad to soak his feet is hotter than this!"
Yang said, "It's okay, why should I burn it so hot? The skin is burning red. My mother thinks that the water is too much, and it's all over the calf. We are washing our feet, not washing our legs!" That's it, but the old lady was very happy. Her son grew up and was still so filial, so how could she be unhappy as a mother?
Wang Ping'an first rubbed his father's feet gently and said, "The water for foot soaking does not need to be too hot. If it is too hot, you will feel panic, sweat, and be prone to excitement, but you will not be able to sleep well!"
Wang Youcai still said: "But my father just likes to sweat. The more sweat you get when soaking your feet, the better!"
Yang scolded: "You old man, your son washes your feet and smokes from your ancestral grave. I don't know how many years you have cultivated. You see that the children in that family are so filial and picky, and you are full of food!"
Although Wang Youcai had been used to being scolded, he felt a little uncomfortable when he was scolded in front of his son. He said, "Is there my son washing your feet? Could it be that your ancestral grave also emitted blue smoke?"
Yang said proudly: "Our Yang family is the royal family of the former Sui Dynasty. I still have relatives in the palace. I heard that I have given birth to a prince!"
Wang Ping'an was shocked and said, "Our family has a relative relationship with the emperor?"
Wang Youcai said angrily: "Don't listen to your mother bragging, you can't beat relatives together! It's been a lot of years ago, and the court has changed. Why do you mention that? You recognize others, who do you know you? Don't mention these messy things in front of your son in the future!" The old man seemed very disgusted with Yang's mention of this matter, and he became rude to his wife in an abnormal manner.
Yang snorted and actually shut up!
Seeing that his parents were so wise, Wang Ping'an couldn't ask any questions, so he had to bury his doubts in his heart. He said, "Dad likes to soak his feet in hot water. In fact, it is not very good for your health. Everything depends on others. Dad is old and his body begins to weaken. Sweat is the fluid of his heart. If he sweats too much, it is not good for his heart."
After rubbing his father's feet, he rubbed his mother again and said, "Mom said why the water should be placed on the calf. This is because if you soak your feet barely, your feet are soaked open, but the blood in the calf is still blocked, so the blood still cannot be smooth and flows throughout the body. Therefore, the effect of soaking your feet barely will not be the best!"
Yang didn't understand very much, so he could only agree. He glanced at Wang Youcai and found that the old man was confused. Like her, he was also ummy. She was a little unhappy after the old man said a few words. She didn't understand even though he didn't understand, so he felt relieved. If he didn't understand, everyone wouldn't understand!
After Wang Ping'an rubbed his mother's feet, he began to press the reflex area on her feet. Yang screamed a few times. After a while, his eyelids could not be opened and he slowly fell asleep.
Wang Ping'an wiped his mother's feet, helped her to chang Anxue, and said to Wang Youcai softly: "Dad, ask someone to make another wooden basin, and you can soak your feet separately in the future. My mother's body is a little cold. Next time she soaks her feet, it is best to cook some ginger and put it in water."
Wang Youcai said, "Okay, I will listen to you!" Seeing that his son came to press his feet again, he said, "Don't press it for dad, you can go back and make up for it. I guess he didn't sleep well last night."
Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Press it, it's good to sleep. When I write it out carefully, my father and mother will learn it. From now on, you two will press each other to learn the techniques of health preservation, eat, sleep and be healthy!"
After pressing his father for a while, looking at Wang Youcai's reaction, he said, "Dad, you have bad joints. Add some red flowers to the water when soaking your feet in the future!" After a while, he saw that Wang Youcai was also asleep, so he served his father to the camp and left his parents' bedroom.
Just as I was about to go back to my study, a servant came to report that a couple came to the yard in front of me, and they came with the child in my arms. The child seemed to be almost out of here, so please go out quickly!
Wang Ping'an had to go to the front yard. He didn't come out today, so the housekeeper was not allowed to enter the yard and wait outside. Wang Ping'an went out of the gate and saw that there were many people standing outside the gate, all of whom came to seek medical treatment. There was a couple in front of the crowd, wearing ragged clothes and holding a broken bowl of wooden sticks in their hands. It looked like they were begging for food. A child was lying on the broken mat next to him.
Seeing Wang Ping'an coming out, the people who were seeking medical treatment were busy saluting and calling the little miracle doctor Ping'an. Wang Ping'an came to the table and saw the child's mental depression and smelling foul smell on his body, sobbing.
The beggar and his wife looked miserable, and they knelt down for Wang Ping'an together and shouted: "Little Doctor Ping'an, please show me this child!"
Hearing the accent, the couple is not from Xuzhou, Wang Ping'an said: "Where did you come from? How do you know mine?"
The beggar man said, "We came from Bianzhou. The family suffered a flood and fled here. The child was sick and could not afford a doctor. I heard that the little genius doctor was kind-hearted and did not charge the poor, so we dared to come!"
Wang Ping'an said, "Is this child suffering from a disaster and fleeing?" Amitabha, don't want it!
