The leisurely life of rebirth

Mung beans are really hard to find abroad. I remember that Fang Monan was suffering from internal heat and wanted to find some mung beans that could reduce the heat. He searched all the supermarkets in New York and even the vegetable markets. Finally, he found this thing in a traditional Chinese medicine store.

There are many Chinese medicines in China, including grain stores and supermarkets.

There is it in the store. You can eat it often when cooking porridge. You don’t need to add too much at a time, just a handful." Fang Monan continued: "Mung beans are cool in nature and sweet in taste. They have the functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, relieving heat and troubles, quenching thirst and strengthening the stomach, etc.

Efficacy. There is also mung bean antidote, so you cannot eat it while taking traditional Chinese medicine."

"Hey! Just wait, I'll write it down." Johnson took out a notebook and pen from his pocket and wrote down each item in detail.

"There is also a prescription here for you to take a bath." Fang Monan wrote out a prescription, "The required Chinese medicines are available in Chinese medicine stores in Chinatown, and they are not expensive."

Thomas acted as an observer and looked at Joseph curiously. His complexion was obviously much better than when he first arrived. When he first arrived, he was haggard and his eyes were dim and without any brilliance. After he woke up, although he could not be immediately refreshed, his eyes were full of energy.

Clear, clear and bright, pure and shining, and full of energy. "This is such a big change after sleeping."

Fang Monan smiled and said gently: "Of course, the quality of sleep directly affects the quality of life. About 13 years of life are spent sleeping, and proper sleep is essential to human health. Sleep

Helps the brain rest, restore its excitability, and make people energetic.

She smiled and added: "Didn't someone say that you should get beauty sleep? This is true, delaying aging is not just beauty! Aging caused by poor sleep is pathological aging. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "exertion leads to qi"

"Consumption" means that long-term overwork and fatigue can cause a large amount of human body energy to be consumed. Essence is the basis of human life activities. The activities of human limbs, seven orifices and internal organs, as well as people's spiritual thinking and consciousness, are all based on essence.

as source and motivation.

'If the essence and qi are deficient, evil will gather in them. If the evil is rampant, the essence will be damaged, and in such a vicious cycle, the disease will remain.' If you want the righteousness to remain inside, that is, if the essence and qi are not deficient, you must eliminate fatigue. The best way to eliminate fatigue is

Good sleep. During sleep, the essence of the human body is guarded in the five internal organs, the five internal organs are relaxed, the qi and blood are harmonious, the body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure drop, and the number of breathings decreases. The endocrine function is weakened, thereby reducing the body's metabolic rate and physical strength is restored.

"[

"Tsk, tsk... I've learned a lesson." Thomas said in response to her tirade.

Fang Monan secretly complained, 'What's the matter? As the pace of life accelerates and the pressure of life becomes more and more intense, in 2001, the Global Sleep and Health Program sponsored by the International Foundation for Mental Health and Neuroscience launched a global event

, March 21, the first day of early spring every year, is designated as "World Sleep Day". Sure enough, being able to eat and sleep is a blessing!

Then Fang Menan babbled a lot of precautions, and Joseph and the others said goodbye and left. Fang Menan and Thomas sent them downstairs and watched the car disappear from sight. As soon as they turned around, they heard their mother's voice.

The voice said, "Nannan, is this coming to pick us up?"

"I came back so late, I came to see someone off." Fang Monan introduced: "This is Thomas Andres's agent, and he is also our Xiaobei's agent."

"Hello, I am Xiaobei's father, Fang Zhengping."

"Hello, I am Xiaobei's mother, Mo Yongyan."

"Hello, just call me Thomas. Dr. Fang's parents are really young." Thomas always forgot about the age of the Xiaobei sisters. Now that he saw this couple in their thirties, he remembered that they were still children.

"Let's go home and talk. It's too cold." Fang Monan took one person by the other and went upstairs.

After going up, Fang Monan got into the kitchen to cook, and the remaining people sat in the living room chatting. Mobei went to the kitchen and took out the fruits that Fang Monan had washed and brought them out.

Thomas picked one without politeness and ate it in his mouth. He was a little embarrassed when he saw his mother and the others staring at him blankly. His parents were still there! His father and the others looked at him with smiles, knowing that

It's clear why he is so active, his precious daughter's fruit is unique.

The aunt and others came back with the children, and they just happened to help Thomas out. With them joining in, the conversation became more lively.

Dinner was no longer Western food, it was sumptuous Chinese food. The chicken stewed with mushrooms had been stewed since the afternoon. The smell was tangy and fragrant, and everyone moved to the restaurant with greedy people.

After the meal, Thomas said goodbye and left, not forgetting to carry some fruits with him. His mother and aunt cleared the dining table, and the men sat in the living room and watched TV, waiting for their mother to clean up.

Dad couldn't wait to ask: "Xiaoyan! We don't understand Xiaobei's music, but it's very good to listen to the words of her tutor Andres. But I can't listen to these elementary school courses, they all sound like

If you are having fun, you won’t delay your child!”

My mother also echoed: "I work in the Bureau of Culture and Education. Although I am not a teacher, I have attended a few classes. Their classes are incomparable to ours!" She also looked worried! "Seeing what Xiaobei's class looks like

It's about herding sheep and chasing ducks. In domestic classrooms, students sit in rows facing the blackboard, with their little hands behind their backs."

The aunt looked at the couple and said, "Haha... I accompanied Xiaobei to attend classes in elementary school today."

"Otherwise, how could he be so gloomy?" Fang Monan gestured at the faces of the two of them, huddled together, very worried.

The aunt smiled and said: "Xiao Bei, go get your homework and let your dad and mom take a look."

Mobei ran back to the room and took out his homework and handed it to his father and mother. Dad looked at them doubtfully, then looked at the homework in his hand. When he looked up, he was startled, "China's Yesterday and

"Today", he was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground. What kind of questions are these? Which college student dares to do such a big subject? [

"Xiao Bei, is this a homework question given by the teacher?" Dad asked in disbelief with his mouth twitching.

Mobei complained: "This is my homework! You don't know that I spent a long time in the library to finish this homework." But there was no resentment in her tone, but she was very excited and excited.

After a pause, he said seriously: "The teacher said that the United States is a country of immigrants. Each student has to write an article about the country where their ancestors lived. They also have to analyze the differences with the United States based on geography, history, and humanities, and explain their own

views and opinions.”

Dad remained silent and silently flipped through the booklet, from the Yellow River to the hieroglyphs; from the Silk Road to the Five-Star Red Flag... The whole article was majestic, well-founded and divided into chapters, especially the last column.

A list of bibliographies was produced to make

My father didn’t dare to express his arrogance. He only learned the style of his doctoral thesis after taking a correspondence course after he was 30 years old. The booklet was more than 20 pages long. After reading it, my father closed it and looked at the cover, "

This is Xiaobei’s homework for fifth grade.”

Both mother and father looked at the other homework in disbelief, "This is my child's sixth grade homework."

Dad was even more stunned when he opened the sixth grade homework. The teacher left the students with a series of questions about the "World War II".

"Who do you think is responsible for this war?"

"What do you think was the reason for the defeat of Nazi Germany?"

"If you were President Truman's senior adviser, what would your stance be on the United States' atomic bombing?"

"Do you think that the best way to end the war at that time was to drop atoms?"

"What do you think is the best way to avoid war today?"

Fang Monan winked playfully and asked with a cheerful smile: "How's it going, dad? Does it look like a candidate for Congress is receiving advance training for his defense?"

My mother felt a lot. She was engaged in education, although she was only from a county town. "Children in China in sixth grade may not know what World War II is?" She laughed at herself: "Of course they must know how to fight the Japanese."

"Pfft..." Fang Monan burst into laughter. Later generations of TV screens would see the main theme of the TV series "Fighting the Japs".

"Even if we went to junior high school and studied history, the questions we asked were all about something that happened in a certain year and a certain month, and we were memorized by rote." My mother said a little forcefully.

There was so much bitterness in Dad's smile, and he said meaningfully, "The history of the United States is only 200 years old, but it is enough to open the door to students' wisdom." Although Xiaobei's writing may not be satisfactory to adults, he inspired and guided the students.

They spontaneously read, consulted information, and thought independently, which taught them a lesson."

The aunt said: "You know it! I was shocked at first, because I was afraid of delaying the child." "Haha... American elementary school life is very happy, but we get more. Of course, what exactly do American elementary schools want to achieve?

There is no exact indicator for the level of knowledge. The "foundation" that American primary school students must lay is the bottom line of being a human being. They work hard only when they go to college. "

Fang Monan has a deep understanding that the education reform of the Chinese people has created a lot of examination machines. The original 9-year compulsory education system and extra make-up classes have become the biggest financial burden for every family in future generations. Of course, the reform has also created a large number of dependent students.

Education makes people rich.

"While we are still chanting the slogan 'Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid of traveling around the world', what are others teaching the children?" my mother asked herself.

This slogan is familiar to everyone. It was a very loud slogan in the 1980s. How many of the students who entered university with their heads held high at that time were excited and excited about it! After focusing on economic construction, they embarked on the road of opening up to the outside world.

.As the utilitarian mentality increases, it becomes: "Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well; it is better to have an official father!"

"What are you talking about? You girl." Dad knocked Fang Monan's forehead lovingly.

Fang Monan rolled his eyes, tilted his head, and looked at him with innocent eyes, "Dad, I have been fighting for my father since ancient times. The emperors and generals who founded the country had to find a good ancestor if they didn't have a father." No.

Ignoring their staggering laughter, she patted him on the shoulder in an old-fashioned way and said, "Dad, we have to work hard for our future life!"

"You kid!" Dad smiled and his eyes darkened a lot. Not only did he look at his current position, but he also looked through history books and found that in a country where officials are the standard, his daughter was right. (To be continued)[
