Chapter 160: The pinnacle of life
"Wow...how can there be such a huge peach? Is it a fairy peach?" Wang Yuyan exclaimed in amazement.
Chen Mu smiled and said, "This should be a different kind of peach, sent by a friend from the south. The juice is squeezed from peaches."
Chen Mu used a knife to cut it into pieces the size of watermelons, but the peach pits inside were as small as a thumb, and the rich peach aroma filled the air.
Wang Yuyan tasted it for the first time and found it sweet.
“Master, this is delicious! I have never tasted peaches like this.”
“I want to try it too.”
The other girls took a piece and tasted it, and were all amazed by it. Although Chen Mu often brought them all kinds of delicious fruits, this peach seemed to be better than before.
This huge peach came from the deep place of Shennongjia, and originally had the essence of wood. After Chen Mu transplanted it to the Divine Doctor Secret Realm, the peach tree grew more and more luxuriantly.
In fact, according to actual time calculation, this peach needs three years to bloom, and another three years to mature after fruiting, so a complete cycle takes ten years. Moreover, it needs to be in a place with abundant spiritual energy to fully develop.
Chen Mu also used the ability of the Divine Doctor's Secret Realm to promote growth to know the secret of the peach tree. This big peach is indeed as magical as the peaches in mythology.
The growth cycle of this peach is not simple. Ordinary peaches have to go through a process of blooming, fruiting and maturing for at least 3,000 years, and then a cycle of 10,000 years. In comparison, its growth cycle is too different, a thousand times longer.
However, since Chen Mu tasted the peach, he found that it did have the effect of prolonging life and strengthening the body. He estimated that eating one peach could extend life by about two to three years, but because of its huge size, like a football, it was almost impossible for one person to eat it all.
Therefore, Chen Mu included it in his daily diet. After all, extending his life by two or three years did not have a significant practical significance for him. In the secret territory now, he has planted a peach orchard, and all the seedlings are derived from the original mother plant.
He planned to find a piece of land near the capital after the development was completed, and turn it into his own paradise, where he could relax and have fun in his spare time. He also got busy, set up a tent behind him, prepared a barbecue grill and various drinks, and enjoyed himself alone.
Not long after, He Yushui and Gao Yao also joined in to help, and led Wang Yuyan, Ding Qiunan and others, and the scene became warm and harmonious.
"Brother, is this peach juice? Are there fresh peaches now?" He Yushui asked with satisfaction after tasting the juice.
"Well, I happened to bring one with me. Let's share it with everyone." As he said that, Chen Mu took out a peach the size of a football from his backpack and placed it on the small table, causing everyone's eyes to freeze instantly.
Seeing such a huge peach, the girls were all amazed.
"Such a huge peach. Could it be the legendary fairy peach?" Wang Yuyan asked in surprise.
Chen Mu smiled slightly: "This should be a variety mutation. A friend of mine sent it from the south. These are all juices squeezed from this peach."
He used a knife to carefully slice the peach into pieces, which looked like watermelon cubes, but the core was insignificant, and the aroma was enticing. Wang Yuyan, who tasted it first, immediately felt the sweetness and freshness in her mouth.
"Master, it's delicious. This is the best peach I have ever seen in my life."
"Let me try." The other girls also took a piece each and were all amazed by its deliciousness.
Although Chen Mu often brought back various delicious fruits for them, this peach obviously surpassed his previous work. This was a variety that he transplanted from the deep valley of Shennongjia to the Secret Land of Immortal Medicine. The original tree had the power of the origin of trees, and perhaps this made the tree species evolve.
When placed in the secret realm of the Immortal Doctor, its growth effect is more significant.
Moreover, Chen Mu discovered that according to the real time calculation, it would take thirty years for such a peach to bloom, bear fruit, and mature. It would take ten years to grow one circle, and it would also require rich spiritual energy to nourish it. This knowledge was acquired through the accelerated growth function of the Immortal Doctor Secret Realm.
This big peach does have some of the charm of the peaches grown in the heavens, but its growth cycle is far from comparable to that of the peaches grown in the heavens, lacking the thousand-year cycle.
Even so, eating a peach that could potentially extend his life by two years did not have much practical impact on Chen Mu. In his orchard in the secret realm, he had already grown a peach forest, with each tree carefully cultivated from a mother plant.
In his blueprint after the reform and opening up, Chen Mu planned to buy a piece of land in the suburbs of Beijing to build his own paradise. This land is mainly used for leisure and vacation, and the peach trees he planted are particularly unique, and the flowers can bloom for three consecutive years without withering.
Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Qin Huairu's belly gradually became apparent, and because Yi Zhonghai kept a close watch on her, her chances were all killed. Every time he had a holiday, Yi Zhonghai would stay in his yard, watching Qin Huairu closely and never allowing her to leave.
Qin Huairu was almost collapsed by the pressure from Yi Zhonghai.
"Huairu, what are you planning? Why don't you get rid of this evil creature as soon as possible? Do you want to have another baby for that old bachelor Yi Zhonghai?" Jia Zhang began to become impatient with Qin Huairu's behavior. Although Qin Huairu's pregnancy made the Jia family's daily life a little better and they were often accompanied by delicious food, she would not allow the family to have another outsider.
If this is the case, Yi Zhonghai's inheritance may not belong to her beloved grandson Banggeng.
"Mom, what can I do? Yi Zhonghai is watching me too closely. I can't find a chance to have an abortion." Qin Huairu explained helplessly.
Jia Zhang firmly objected: "Absolutely not. You have to find a way to get rid of this child no matter what. You are the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, how can you give birth to a child for him? Think about it, if this really happens, will Yi Zhonghai treat Banggeng and the others fairly? Our family will never have peace. To him, you have become a child-bearing machine."
Qin Huairu certainly understood that having something is always better than fighting for it.
Giving birth to a child for Yi Zhonghai easily would cause her to lose her precious value, even though it was not his own flesh and blood.
"Next week the factory will transfer a group of fitters to the Baoding branch for half a month. I can check the list. If Yi Zhonghai is among them, things might be easier." Qin Huairu had a plan in mind.
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed across Jia Zhang's eyes, but then she became worried: "What if there is no child? Will he really leave a seed for her?"
Qin Huairu sighed deeply: "I have no choice but to take it one step at a time."
If there is no other solution, Qin Huairu will have to think of other means.
At this time in the Qin family of Wuling Village,
Looking at Uncle Qin who was walking slowly with the support of Qin Yanru, Chen Mu's smile was full of satisfaction. Under his treatment, Uncle Qin's spine had healed, broken bones had been regenerated, and meridians were connected. However, his body was still weak at the moment and needed further rehabilitation treatment to fully recover.
"Doctor Chen, my father has actually stood up and can walk, look!" Qin Yanru's voice was filled with excitement.
Chen Mu smiled and responded, "Your recovery is better than I expected. Uncle, I will give you a new prescription. Getting up in the morning and evening and walking around the yard will help your recovery, but you must not do heavy work until you recover. It is estimated that it will take several months."
In fact, Chen Mu said that the time was a bit longer just in case. At this rate, he would be able to recover completely in three or four months.
"Thank you so much, Doctor Chen." Uncle Qin responded with sincere gratitude.
As for the story of curing Uncle Qin's illness, it had spread throughout the production brigade, making Chen Mu famous. The villagers regarded him as a god-like figure, believing that it was impossible for a mortal to cure a dying person and restore his vitality.
As he walked along the way, the villagers greeted him warmly.
After seeing several patients, Chen Mu also began to plan to return to the city.
"Qin Yanru, what's wrong?" Chen Mu asked.
"I..." Qin Yanru found it difficult to speak.
"If you have any difficulties, just tell me directly." Chen Mu urged.
"Actually... I want to find a job in the city. I can do anything. I know that you are kind-hearted, Dr. Chen. You didn't charge for my father's medical treatment, and even subsidized the medicine. I have no special skills now, but I will definitely repay you. My father is in poor health and the financial situation is not good. I am the eldest daughter and I have a younger sister. There is not much farm work to do. It's really..."
Having said that, Qin Yanru realized that her request was a bit abrupt.
Chen Mu had helped the Qin family to a great extent, and Qin Yanru felt embarrassed that she wanted him to help her find a job. But she understood that the family was indeed in a difficult period, and other family members could not provide much help. She was the second adult child in the family, and she had a younger sister. The income from farm work was meager, and the family was indeed in trouble.
After thinking for a while, Chen Mu said, "I'll try my best to ask for you, but I can't give you any guarantees."
"Thank you, Dr. Chen, you have helped our family so much." Qin Yanru expressed her gratitude sincerely.
After smiling, Chen Mu said nothing more. During the days he spent with Qin Yanru, he knew her well: she was kind and filial, unlike Qin Huairu. He could feel the sincerity of her conversation and was deeply impressed.
Chen Mu knew the situation of the Qin family. Every time he visited, Aunt Qin would always save a few eggs to treat him, even though she lived a hard life. This situation made it no longer a big problem for Chen Mu to find a job for Qin Yanru.
However, Chen Mu was unwilling to grant favors easily and was still considering whether to arrange it himself. If necessary, he might give her a job opportunity in the three-story courtyard of Chaoyang Gate to help take care of and clean up the medicinal herb field.
In the courtyard of Chaoyang Gate, most of the idle land was used by Chen Mu to grow various Chinese medicines. Although there were many medicines in the Immortal Doctor Secret Realm, he also planted a piece here in order to have a reasonable explanation when he needed to go out to find medicinal materials in case.
At the same time, the list of fitters transferred to Baoding was released, mainly level 5 and 6 technicians and a few level 8 technicians. Yi Zhonghai's name was not on the list, as he had returned to the status of level 7 technician.
After reading the list, Qin Huairu decided that Yi Zhonghai must go, so she mustered up the courage to walk into Li Huaide's office. Looking at her bulging belly, Li Huaide became even more tempted, as he had never tried with pregnant women.
Qin Huairu proposed the conditions for Yi Zhonghai to go to Baoding, which immediately made Li Huaide show an obscene smile. "Chu Ru, don't worry, as long as you are willing to follow me, your wish is my command." Li smiled evilly.
Half an hour later, Qin Huairu tidied her clothes and left Li Huaide's office. Li Huai picked up the Peony brand cigarette on the table, took a deep puff and sighed, "Comfortable."
In the afternoon, a worker found Yi Zhonghai and said, "Master Yi, Vice President Li wants you to go to his office."
Yi Zhonghai followed the order despite his doubts. Not long after, he walked out of the office with a smile on his face. He was in a good mood and thought that this transfer might bring him the position of eighth-level technician, and he also included his son who was about to be born. Everything seemed perfect, just like the pinnacle of life.
Back in the yard, Yi Zhonghai excitedly told Qin Huairu about his good news - he would soon be transferred to Baoding.
