While they were talking, the aunt who had brought them ginger soup just now had already brought a meal.

There were boiled sweet potatoes in the basin and sauerkraut in a bowl, but this sauerkraut was fried with chili peppers, and it was still steaming and fragrant with chili peppers, and it was supposed to be specially made to entertain them.

In another bowl are three hard-boiled eggs.

It's probably the best thing they can bring to their guests.

Xiaoyu was anxious when she saw the eggs.

There was a lot of chattering and talking, and the big lady pushed back and forth.

Bai Xiao thought about which bowl to take, so he still took it.

"What's going on with Xiaoyu?"

When the eldest lady saw Bai Xiao take the bowl, she immediately nodded with satisfaction, pointed to something, and said a few words to her.

"We can't accept this egg. You don't know that the eldest mother has three sons and two daughters, but the younger son has been polio since he was a child, and the second son has dementia.

The two chickens raised by the eldest mother's family relied on these eggs to save and sell them for a little money in exchange for some firewood, rice, oil and salt. Usually they are reluctant to eat themselves, but taking out three eggs at once is equivalent to buying 1 catty of salt for their family. ”

Only then did they understand that they really showed all their sincerity to entertain them.

Don't look at it as just three eggs, but these three eggs are more valuable than three chickens here.

Quite a beggar is giving up his entire net worth to entertain guests.

The eldest lady has walked out quickly, obviously not ready to let Xiaoyu continue to push with her, and her simple mind is touching.

Xiaoyu still wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Bai Xiao.

"Xiaoyu! Don't go. ”

Xiaoyu was a little angry, "Doctor Bai, you don't understand, you people in the city may not be rare this egg, it doesn't seem to be worth anything, but this is already a lot of money in our place, and everyone lives on these things, so we will make the eldest lady's family even worse."

I can't eat it. ”

This girl is a solid-eyed girl, and she is really a good girl.

Bai Xiao grabbed her and didn't let her get up.

He also deliberately took an egg, knocked it on the stone on the ground, peeled it and handed it to Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu twisted her face to the side and got angry.

She had just told Dr. Bai how important this egg was, but she didn't expect Dr. Bai to peel the egg.

She was really angry.

Bai Xiao smiled, "Doctor Zhang, eat eggs, one for each person." ”

Dr. Zhang also felt that the whole person was not good, since this egg was so important to the family, they ate other people's eggs like this, and they really didn't want to go.

I can't knock it down with an egg.

"You two don't use your brains.

These eggs are already cooked, even if you return the eggs now, do you think this egg can still be exchanged for money? Besides, this is the old lady's heart for us, mainly because we are doctors from the city, for everyone to see a doctor, and we have suffered such a big crime at the entrance of the village, the old lady is a comfort, if we don't accept this kindness, what do you make the family think?

They will also think that we city people dislike them, and country people can't get anything good. ”

As soon as they said this, Xiaoyu and Dr. Zhang both lowered their heads.

Xiaoyu was in a hurry just now, and these three eggs really didn't think about it in detail, and now that I think about it, it's true. The eggs are already cooked, and if you want to exchange them for money, it is absolutely impossible.

"What should I do then? Doctor Bai is now boiling the egg, but I can't help but eat this egg like this, you don't know that the village chief's family is really having a hard time, and this village is even more difficult than the previous village.

In the village over there, at least terraced fields can be cultivated, but what about this side, where there are many stones, and the grain they threw every year is not enough for them to eat, and it is all up to God to provide food.

Especially in the village chief's house, there are several children like this, and there are still many children in this situation in this village, they all say that the feng shui in this village is not good, forget it, God's taboo, so they are punished so that every family of these people will have this kind of defective child.

I don't know why there are so many people in their village. ”

Dr. Zhang smiled wryly, "I can explain to you the situation you said, if my guess is correct, there are many people in this village who have intermarried with each other for generations. For example, a cousin marries a cousin, and a cousin marries a cousin. ”

Xiaoyu nodded hurriedly, looking at Zhang Yisheng with admiration in his eyes, "Doctor Zhang, you are so godly, how do you know? Not only is this the case in several villages around this village, because our ancestors have been passed down like this for generations." Is that why it's the case?"

"The state has long stipulated that close relatives are not allowed to marry, and there are too many disadvantages of close relatives marrying, such as the children of cerebral palsy, polio, children with various genetic diseases, the proportion of these diseases will be so large, it is because of the marriage of close relatives.

However, this is not the case in the slightly more advanced cities and towns, and it is precisely because the grasp there is strict, and there is a reason why the state's policy stipulates this way. Marriage between close relatives can really produce various genetic diseases, so it is not that the feng shui in this village is bad, as long as the village never marries close relatives in the future, presumably there will never be such children born in this situation. ”

Bai Xiao also nodded, "What Dr. Zhang said is right. The situation in this village is even more serious, I think there should not be many residents in this village, according to you, this village is so poor that it is not so easy to take a daughter-in-law and marry her from outside.

More often than not, it is probably this kind of consanguineous marriage, which is also the reason why these children in the village are so sick.

Now that we are here, on the one hand, we must publicize the disadvantages of this kind of marriage between close relatives to everyone, and never let such a child be born again. ”

Bai Xiao also sighed, there is no way, the more remote and poor the place, the more this situation will occur.

This also has a lot to do with people's uneducated and feudal superstitions.

It's also a kind of sadness.

"So what now? Is this egg really eaten?"

Xiaoyu is still worried about eating eggs.

"Eat, eat the eggs. After a while, we will find a way to see the two younger brothers in the village chief's family, whether they need needles or medicine, we don't charge money, even if we make up the money for these three eggs, this can be regarded as we compensate for the eggs.

It's better than you just giving the eggs back. ”

As soon as Xiaoyu heard Bai Xiao's idea, she immediately rushed over happily.

"Doctor Bai, why are you so smart! How do you have such a brain? If I were as smart as you, I guess my father wouldn't be so anxious. ”

"You, you're not smart, you're just too reckless, and you're too anxious to do something. When people are in a hurry to do things, they are prone to make mistakes in their busyness. Don't rush everything and think about what to do. ”

Xiaoyu nodded!
