When the doctor got the money, he was full of joy and smiles, and after counting it a few times, he took out a purse and put it in it to leave.

Money is money, things are everything, treating diseases and saving people, and taking people's money is a matter of course.

Zhang Laohan grabbed the white coat and said, "Stay and eat, I have to thank you and drink two glasses." ”

The doctor was stunned for a moment, looked a little hurried, and said in a panic: "No, Lao Zhang, I still have to go back to see the store, there can't be no one in the store." ”

said that no one in the store wanted to go back to see the store was a reason, but more because he was afraid that something uncontrollable would happen to the old man, and he wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Zhang Laohan still held on tightly to the corner of his clothes and didn't let go, and the old Chinese medicine doctor gave Zhang Laohan a look, so he let go.

Zhang Laohan is not stupid, and he can also see some clues, so he said: "Since the family is busy, then I won't keep you, I've troubled you these days." ”

The doctor nodded slightly, smiled and turned around and left Zhang Laohan's house.

At this time, there was a wafting fragrance from the kitchen, which was the smell of stewed chicken.

It turned out that Zhang Laohan had already instructed Wan Rong to prepare the ingredients and entertain the old man's life-saving benefactors, but the doctor was unwilling to stay, so only his family and the old Chinese medicine doctor came to share this delicious food.

Smelling the smell, the old Chinese medicine doctor got up and walked into the kitchen, looked at the fuzzy chicken soup in the pot and asked Wan Rong, "Are you stewing chicken soup?"

Wan Vieng was surprised, "yes, what's wrong?"

"Quick, quickly scoop a bowl of soup while it's hot for your mother to drink, your mother is very weak now and needs to make up for her body. ”

As soon as the words fell, before Wan Rong could leave, Xiao Mu rushed to the hall and took a bowl and handed it to Wan Rong, and the old Chinese medicine doctor was full of praise for Xiao Mu's behavior.

At this time, Zhang Lao brought a bottle of yellow wine from the room, there were a lot of medicinal herbs in it, and I heard that drinking it was beneficial to the body.

patted the bottle and said, "I'll drink these at noon today, and I'm not allowed to go home if I don't drink it." ”

With such a good medicinal wine, the old Chinese medicine doctor was naturally happy, so he readily agreed to Zhang Laohan.

At the dinner table, Zhang Laohan and the old Chinese medicine doctor seemed to have a lot of words, and they never stopped.

During the period, I talked about Xiao Mu, I talked about the old man, and I talked about the things in the current village, from ancient times to the present, maybe because I am usually busy with my livelihood and have no time to chat, there will be so many topics, I wish I could finish it at once.

It wasn't until about three o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was hot, and the two of them were a little drunk.

The old Chinese medicine doctor shook his head and said, "Lao Zhang, it's okay, it's okay, I can't drink anymore, let's stop here today." ”

finally got together, how could Zhang Laohan stop there, so he pulled the old Chinese medicine doctor stiffly, trying to keep him from drinking a few more bowls.

However, the old Chinese medicine doctor really couldn't drink it, and he just wanted to go home and get a good night's sleep, so he struggled.

Seeing that he couldn't keep the old Chinese medicine doctor, Zhang Laohan took out 200 yuan from his pocket and expressed his gratitude.

But the old Chinese medicine doctor pushed Zhang Laohan away and said, "I said brother, I can't take this money, if I collect this money, it won't be interesting." ”

Although it is said that after drinking, the old Chinese medicine doctor naturally lacks money in his family, but at the same time, the old Chinese medicine doctor also understands the dilemma faced by Zhang Laohan, and Xiao Mu is still in school, and there are many places where he needs to use money.

However, Zhang Laohan still insisted on paying the old Chinese medicine doctor, and said that if he didn't collect money, he would go home or something.

The old Chinese medicine doctor was a little angry, "You are very rich, aren't you? If you have money, you won't be helpless when the old man is critically ill, if you have money, you won't be so frugal, if you have money, you won't take out your abacus just now, and besides, I also accepted your cigarettes, which should be regarded as a reward for me." "Speak loudly.

The words of the old Chinese medicine doctor completely woke up Zhang Laohan, yes, the family is very poor, and if he can save it, this is what he should do at present.

Subsequently, Zhang Laohan sent the old Chinese medicine doctor home.

In the afternoon, Vang Vieng, who had gone to herd cattle, also returned home.

Father and son sat at the door, discussing how much money they had spent this time and what to do next.

It is rare that the two of them will sit down quietly and have a long talk, and it will only be like this when the old man is sick.

"Wan Rong, now our family doesn't have much money, you also saw it, I also paid a lot of money to the doctor just now, see how many chickens there are at home, why don't you catch them and sell them?"

Wan Rong took out a cigarette from his pocket, took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid it won't work, in a few days, people will help our family to put water pipes here, what will our family use to entertain people." ”

Zhang Laohan held his head with both hands and rubbed it vigorously, "It's all because I didn't get along with your grandfather at the beginning, and I moved so far, if I had settled in Dazhai at that time, I could have avoided all this, so that now our family has to lay water pipes and invite people to a banquet." ”

But this is a thing of the past after all, what can Wan Vieng say.

He took another deep puff of his cigarette and turned his gaze to the pigsty.

"Why don't we sell the pig and keep one as a pig for the New Year. ”

Zhang Laohan pondered, now he has three pigs in his own house, and he can sell two according to Wanrong's words, how to say that there must be a few thousands, and it is okay to live, and it is not too late to buy the piglets when they have money in the second half of the year.

So he nodded and said, "That's okay, I'll go to Zhang Luo Zhang Luo another day and let out the wind." ”

At this time, three or five women came to the house, carrying a few bottles of vitamins and some rock candy.

Zhang Laohan immediately went to greet him personally, Xiao Mu hid in the kitchen and secretly looked at these women, he only knew his little grandmother.

The people were talking and laughing, and they seemed to be very happy.

Zhang Laohan respectfully took the things in his hand and said: "Come on, come on, come on, what else do you bring, it really makes you break the bank." ”

Zhang Laohan handed them each a stool, but those people didn't mean to sit down, and said with a smile: "Don't sit down, don't sit, go see my sister, I heard that her condition has improved." ”

Obviously, the old man is older than these people, so he will call him a sister.

Xiao Mu ran out of the kitchen and looked into the house.

Seeing that they were gathered around the old man, among them, the little grandmother sat next to the old man, holding the old man's hand, her mouth floated up and down, as if she was telling the old man something.

"Xiao Mu, go, go and pour some water for your grandmother and them. Zhang Laohan called Xiao Mu and said.

Xiao Mu was very reluctant, the reason was because she was not familiar with these people, and it was precisely because she was not familiar that Xiao Mu did not dare to talk back to Zhang Laohan, so she had to obey.

I went to the cabinet to find the cups, none of them were clean, the clean ones were used up in the past few days, and they were not washed, after all, it was because there were not a few cups in themselves.

Pouted and cleaned up the cups, threw them into the basin and poured some laundry detergent into the wash, washed them inside and out, and couldn't help but lean his nose over and smell if there was any smell of laundry detergent.

After washing, boiling water was poured and no tea leaves were made.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, one of the glasses of water knocked over to the ground, and Xiao Mu was stunned and didn't dare to look up.
