Chapter 256: Lan Xiang goes home to dig peanuts
Lan Cheng immediately wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve, and then said with a smile: "Sister, you dig slowly, the hoe is a little heavy." ”
After speaking, he continued to bend down to pull peanuts, Lan Xiang put the hoe first, and wiped off the mud on it with both hands.
After a while, Lan's mother saw it, walked over and said with a smile: "Xiangxiang, Mom come and dig it, you can just pull it." ”
Lan Xiang looked at the mud on her mother's shoes, as well as the sweat on her face, and her hands were also mud, so she immediately dug up with both hands.
Mother Lan reached out to grab the hoe and said with a smile: "Xiangxiang, be careful, don't get tired, it's not good for your health, Mom, come on." ”
Lan Xiang had no choice but to stop, and Lan's mother quietly asked, "Lan Xiang, do you have it now?"
Lan Xiang blushed suddenly, she knew that her mother was asking her if she was pregnant, so she didn't want her to dig with a hoe just now.
Lan Xiang immediately shook her head and said no, and then said not so fast, I'd better dig it, Mom.
Lan Ma breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said that it would be good, and then whispered: "Xiangxiang, you have it in the future, remember to tell your mother, you can't come to work again, you must remember." Mom will come to see you so closely. You know what?"
Lan Xiang immediately said that she knew, and Lan's mother walked away and continued to bend down to pull peanuts, and Lan Xiang continued to dig hard.
As time passed, the sun rose, the dew on the leaves dried, and the weather became warmer, by which time they had already torn up half of the field.
Lan's mother asked the two siblings to rest first, and the two siblings immediately said yes, stopped, Lan Cheng wiped his hands on the peanut next to him, and then went to the side of the road, where there were two large kettles with boiling water.
Lan's mother also stopped, and Lan Cheng brought two kettles, one to her mother and the other to her sister, and asked them to drink the water first to moisten their throats.
Lan's mother said okay, opened the lid and drank it, so did Lan Xiang, and after Lan's mother finished drinking, she handed her son to Lan Cheng and drank it.
After drinking, Lan Cheng put the two kettles on the side of the road, and at this time, Lan Xiang looked around and found that the neighbor's uncle and aunt were also working in the field.
After reading it, Lan Xiang smiled and asked, "Mom, can this land be pulled up today?"
Lan's mother had no choice but to say that as much as she wanted, the three of them took a break and continued to do it.
Ma Deze also got up shortly after Lan Xiang left, he quickly washed his face and brushed his teeth, and quickly finished breakfast.
Thinking that Lanxiang would go home to work, he was also going to his father's clinic.
Carrying a black backpack, locking the door and going downstairs, he quickly walked to the station, complaining in his heart that Lan Xiang was gone, why didn't he call himself?
The tricycle soon came, and Ma Deze sat on it, passing through the uneven mud road on the road, swaying from side to side, and Ma Deze clung to the barricade on the car.
He rarely goes to the village, only on holidays, and goes to Lan Xiang's house to pick her up, but he takes more of this kind of tricycle, and he is slowly getting used to it.
When the tricycle arrived in the village, Ma Deze gave the driver money for the car, quickly got out of the car, and went to find his father with his bag.
Ma's father gets up at half past seven every day in the village, makes breakfast by himself, and goes to the clinic at about half past eight after eating.
When Lan Xiang followed him to study medicine here, Lan Xiang would cook at the clinic at noon, and only after cooking did Father Ma have lunch with Lan Xiang.
Ma's father treats Lan Xiang as his daughter, and he hopes that Lan Xiang can like his son, so that he can rest assured.
Sometimes Lan Xiang would go home to help with the work, and would talk to him a day in advance, and he wouldn't say anything. Tell her to go back and help.
Ma Deze soon came to the clinic, called his father with a smile, and said that Lan Xiang had gone home to help with the work, and Ma's father said that he knew.
At this time, there was an eldest lady in the clinic who came to see the doctor, Ma's father carefully examined her, and Ma Deze put down his backpack and watched from the side.
Wait until Dad checked the heartbeat of the eldest mother with the earpiece, and helped her measure her blood pressure, and then said, "Sister, you have a cold, I will prescribe some cold medicine for you." Nothing else. ”
The eldest lady nodded and said okay, it is not easy for the people in the village to make money, and Ma's father will try to prescribe the medicine reasonably so that they can cure their illnesses and spend less money.
For those patients who ask for Chinese medicine, Ma's father will also carefully examine and then prescribe it.
Usually Lan Xiang is here to help catch the medicine, write the prescription, Lan Xiang takes it according to it, and after a long time, Lan Xiang also knows something.
Today, Lan Xiang left, Ma's father wrote the prescription, and Ma Deze hurriedly took the prescription to catch it.
After three holidays, although Ma Deze is not as skilled as Lanxiang, he also knows a little bit.
Seeing that his son was busy, Ma's father sat there and asked the eldest mother's body carefully, and told him to rest during this time, and then go to farm work after he was ready.
Now that I am older, I have to pay more attention to my body, and the eldest mother nodded and said okay, now the children have gone out to work and have not come back.
The work at home is done by the wife, the grandson is still young, and he helps bring it at home, and the son will send some money back every two months.
After Ma Deze finished grabbing the medicine, Ma's father immediately said to the eldest mother: "These medicines are taken for three days."
If you finish eating, come and check it, okay, you don't need to grab the medicine, morning, noon and evening, eat after every meal, big sister, you have to remember. Take it. ”
After speaking, he gave the medicine to the eldest mother, and they were all wrapped into small paper bags.
The eldest mother immediately said yes, asked for the medicine money, and the eldest mother gave it immediately, and then said thank you Dr. Ma, and walked out of the clinic with the medicine.
At this time, Ma's father stopped, packed up the case just now, and then asked his son: "Lan Xiang went back to work, did she have any health?"
Ma Deze also knew that his father asked him if Lan Xiang was pregnant, and he immediately shook his head and said no.
Father Ma immediately sighed, looked at his average-looking son, and then said, "Deze, you young people handle the affairs yourself,
It's just that don't wait for a bamboo basket to draw water, you have been married for more than a year, how long will it take to have children?"
Ma Deze called his dad and said with a smile: "We are still young, and besides, Lanxiang doesn't want to be born now, and I can't help it." ”
Ma's father didn't go to his son's house to have a look, and he didn't know that his son and daughter-in-law had never lived together at all.
I just feel that young people are married and have their own space, and it is not good to bother when they are old.
Ma's father had no choice but to say: "Be kind to Lanxiang, it's good to have you in her heart, and then she will give birth to the child, and I can rest assured that we have grandchildren." ”
Ma Deze smiled and said okay, at this time, someone came to see the doctor again, and the two fathers and sons were busy again.
When the sun was already high and it was very hot, Lan's mother hurriedly told the two siblings to stop and go back to lunch first.
The two sisters and brothers hurriedly said okay, there was only a little left to dig, the family cleaned up, Lan Xiang carried a basket full of peanuts, and Lan Cheng picked two baskets of peanuts with a bamboo basket.
Lan Xiang walked in front, Lan Cheng walked in the middle, and Lan's mother carried a bag, resisted the hoe, and carried two kettles, walking behind.
The sun was very strong, and the two siblings had already wet their clothes with sweat, and the peanuts left in the field had to wait for the afternoon to clean up.
Along the crooked path, the family walked carefully, there was no wind blowing, and after walking for a while, Lan Cheng had to stop, and Lan's mother hurriedly asked him: "Cheng Miao, are you tired?" ”
Lan Cheng hurriedly said that he was not tired, the weight he picked was definitely heavier than Lan Xiang's, Lan Xiang didn't care about looking at the back, he kept walking forward, wishing he could go home quickly.
After walking for a while, they finally arrived home, and the two siblings finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Lan's mother quickly took out two fans and told them to fan them first.
I went to the kitchen to cook by myself, the two sisters and brothers said okay, Lan Xiang fanned for a while, came to the kitchen, and saw that her mother was already making a fire and burning wood.
Lan's mother smiled and said, "There are only two dishes, no meat, Mom will go get three eggs, and you will burn the fire first." ”
Lan Xiang immediately said yes, Lan Ma stood up, and Lan Xiang immediately sat down to light the fire.
Lan Cheng was sitting under the eaves, picking peanuts, and Lan's mother took three eggs into the kitchen.
Lan's mother immediately called Lan Xiang up and told her to go outside to help pick peanuts and cook them herself.
Lan Xiang had no choice but to say yes, stood up and washed out the eggplant and garlic sprouts.
At noon, Ma's father also started to cook, he burned electricity, which is more convenient, their clinic is on the street, and few people burn firewood.
Ma Deze is helping by the side, in fact, he can also cook, and when Lan Xiang is not there, he can cook it himself.
They eat very simply, usually Lan Xiang will go to buy meat once every three days, or fish for him to eat.
It's the same to eat at Papa Ma's place at noon, eat meat once every three days, don't waste much, Lan Xiang will ask them about how much they can eat?
Then how much will be cooked, there is very little leftover meals at the end of the day, and Daddy Ma always tells her that it is not good to eat leftover meals, and it is better to eat fresh.
Lan Xiang kept it in mind, and so did her own family, usually Lan's mother would not cook too much, and she would eat it for one day, and she would not often eat it again the next day.
When the rice was cooked, Lan's mother asked Lan Cheng to wash her hands and eat, Lan Cheng immediately said yes, and Lan Xiang helped bring the food to the table.
After the family was busy, they sat down to eat, and Lan's mother and Lan Cheng had less time to eat meat, and basically they would buy some pork or fish to eat in five days.
My eggs have not been sold, they are all boiled for the two sisters and brothers to eat, and now Lanxiang is not there, the mother and son eat, they don't often eat meat, and they usually eat more eggs.
The chickens and ducks raised used to sell some, but now they are kept to lay eggs, mainly for Lan Xiang, who thought that Lan Xiang would get married, would give birth to a child immediately, and would do confinement, and would give it to her when the time came.
Now that she hears her daughter say this, she can't say anything, as long as the two of them get along safely.
Lan's mother sandwiched a few pieces of scrambled eggs to Lan Xiang and told her to eat more, and Lan Xiang nodded and said okay.
Lan Cheng asked while eating, "Mom, when are we going out in the afternoon?" ”
Lan's mother said while eating: "After eating, you should finish picking the peanuts first, take a rest, and go out in the afternoon when the sun is not so big." ”
The two siblings nodded and said yes, and the family ate slowly.
