38. Supplication
There were no soft clouds in the sky, and the wind was lazy with the warm sun. In the paddy fields below the mountain, groups of peasants wearing long sleeves and straw hats stand, barefoot, holding trouser legs, bending over to plant rice.
Tang Qing carried a bamboo basket and walked slowly on the country road, carefully avoiding the mud thrown out of the field.
"Brother Shen. Tang Qing quickly identified the person he was looking for from the crowd. Compared to when he first came to Liwa Village, the boy's complexion and body are obviously much better.
It's not appropriate to say that boys, Shen Bowen is four years older than Tang Qing, and he has already reached adulthood. It's just that Tang Qing has lived so many years after all, and he regards people who are older than him in his previous life as children.
"Brother Shen, Master asked me to bring you some water. Tang Qing waited until Shen Bowen approached, found a shady place, and lifted the plain cloth covering the basket.
Dr. Qin attached great importance to the Shen family, and on the day he went to see the doctor, he dragged the two of them into the health center on the grounds that their living environment was not suitable for patients to recuperate.
The health department will also accept some overnight patients, and the place is quite spacious, so it is not reluctant for the Shen family to live. In this regard, Tang Qing is also happy to see it.
After all, just as he wanted to find someone to take care of Dr. Qin, someone bumped into him. It's a no-brainer. In this way, there is no need to worry about the year-end deadline set by Tang's mother. After teaching Brother Shen well and packing him up and sending him to the master, Tang Qing can go home and live without any worries. That's the plan, it's perfect.
"Hmm, it's so sweet, is there honey in it?" Shen Bowen just took a sip and looked at Tang Qing in surprise.
"The honeysuckle is too bitter, I'm afraid you won't get used to it, so I took it upon myself to add more honey. Tang Qing smiled embarrassedly, "You don't like to eat sweets, I won't let it go next time." ”
"No, I love it, thank you. Shen Bowen scratched his hair, "It's just that the honey you added tastes so good, like it's fresher than the special honey I've drunk before." ”
Tang Qing's face turned red, not shy, but nervous: "How can it be so exaggerated, Brother Shen, it must be that you haven't drunk honey water for a long time, and suddenly you feel that it is delicious in the world." This is just the honey that Dr. Qin's family sent to the patient's family last time. ”
The last time Dr. Qin went to the clinic, it was true that a family sent a bottle of home-grown honey, but Tang Qing had already stolen the beams and changed the honey inside for the one produced in the space. In the past few years, many rich species in the mountains have been looted by Tang Qing, and the materials in the space have become more and more abundant.
Shen Bowen thoughtfully: "The people here are outstanding and the mountains are backed, and it is not surprising that the things produced by the people in the mountains are fresh. ”
Tang Qing exhaled secretly, but fortunately he was fooled.
Dr. Qin's attitude towards the Shen family made Tang Qing uncertain. On the surface, it looks like a friend, but it's more like a relationship between superiors and subordinates. Over the years, Tang Qing has followed Dr. Qin to countless homes and treated countless incurable diseases, and there are always family members of patients who are excited and kneel down towards him. Dr. Qin has always been unfazed. But only when Brother Shen knelt down at him, Dr. Qin's attitude was very strange, uneasy and a little stunned.
"Xiaoqing, are you related to the Shen family?" asked the lady who was working in the fields next to her.
"It's not a relative of my family, it's a relative of the master. Tang Qing was pulled aside by the eldest mother.
"It's a relative of Dr. Qin's family, so I'm relieved. That day, when a group of people sent them over, there was a lot of commotion in the village. As you know, no outsiders have come in our village for hundreds of years. With so many uniformed people coming in at once, you can't be frightened. The eldest lady patted Tang Qing's head, "Since it's a relative of Doctor Qin, it's definitely not a bad person." We were relieved. ”
Tang Qing echoed with a smile: "Grandpa Shen and Brother Shen are definitely not bad people, auntie, you let the people in the village relax." After a while, he approached the eldest mother again and whispered: "Brother Shen and his family also suffered this time, and after a few years, maybe they will go back to Beijing again." Their family is a good person. Auntie, usually in the village, Brother Shen, they still have to rely on you to help them more. ”
Grandpa Shen's last illness was mainly a matter of diet. When he was young, he fought as a soldier, and he gnawed grass roots and bark. When I was old, my living conditions were better, and my food and clothing were also refined, but suddenly my family suffered a sudden mutation, and the old man's body suddenly couldn't bear it.
According to Dr. Qin's admiration for Old Man Shen, even if he asked him to provide for the Shen family well, he didn't say anything. But after all, there is still a serious grandson of Shen Bowen, and he can't overstep his responsibilities.
As soon as the Shen family and the two were sent to the countryside by a large group of people, the group of people walked away, as if they were afraid that they would be bitten by a snake one step later, and they didn't even go through the Shen family's entry procedures. In these years, the households that have not entered the village will not be able to earn centimeters, and if they have no centimeters, where will they go to receive food. Therefore, for several days, the Shen family relied on the wild vegetables that Shen Bowen went out to dig to satisfy their hunger.
Now the centimeter of the Shen family was written down after Dr. Qin talked to the village chief, considering that Grandpa Shen is also old, no matter how much he does or how little, he only remembers Shen Bowen's centimeter.
That's it, there are still people in the village who are not happy. I feel that the Shen family is obviously an outsider, so why should they divide the fields and grain in the village. It was the village chief who found someone to talk to one by one before he calmed down.
"Xiaoqing, the fields are cleaned up, go back, I'll cook dinner for you." Shen Bowen carried a basket of seedlings and greeted Tang Qing.
If he hadn't known that he was from the city and had never been in the field, Tang Qing would have been frightened by his posture and regarded him as a farmer who had been rolling in the field since he was a child. This kid is really very smart, except for a little clumsy at the beginning, now whether it is working in the field, or making a fire, or making some simple dishes, he is very handy and skilled. I have to admit that IQ determines a qiē.
After Tang Qing and the others walked away, the farmer who had been paying attention to the two in the field chatted: These two children walk together like golden boys and girls, one looks better than the other, and their age is also matched, and they are still living in the health center.
Tang Qing's ears are very powerful, and when he heard everyone's gossip about her and Shen Bowen, he couldn't help but be a little stunned: Where is this, fortunately, it has already gone far, Brother Shen should not be able to hear what they say, otherwise it will be embarrassing. I don't really have anything wrong with him.
The two people walking side by side were silent all the way, and neither spoke much. Tang Qing kept looking at the road under his feet, and he didn't notice that the ears of the people next to him were red, and his face was not very natural.
On an April day, the rain rains as soon as it is said. The raindrops followed the broken beads and smashed them on the ground drop by drop. Originally, it was still a sunny day, but it rained all of a sudden, and Tang Qing and the others didn't bring an umbrella to prepare. The rain became heavier and heavier, and gradually their vision began to blur, and the two of them could only squint and rush to the health center.
When he entered the door, Tang Qing almost collided with the person standing at the door, wiped the water droplets on his face, and saw clearly that it was Hu Die.
It doesn't matter what she's here for, it's raining so hard, she always has to go into the house to change her clothes and ask questions about it.
found a big dress and threw it to Hu Die: "Oh, don't be ugly, I only have this one you can wear, don't change your clothes, I won't serve you if you catch a cold." ”
Hu Die changed his clothes without saying a word.
"Tsk, you've changed your sex, and if you don't poke me a few words, you're not happy. So obedient today. Let's talk about it first, I won't agree to your request too much. Tang Qing found a clean towel and threw it to Hu Die, and then took a piece to wipe the wet hair on his head. If you don't have this eyesore, find a matter of going out with the "absorbent grass" and drying your hair for minutes.
I really want to cut my hair short. ╮(╯_╰)╭
"If you don't come into the house when it rains, what is the pestle doing at the door, no matter how good your body is, you can't be so bad. Tang Qing held a comb and carefully groomed his long hair.
"I knocked, and no one answered. Hu Die said in a very soft voice.
o( ̄ヘ ̄o#) Master must have been secretly playing with his radio in the house again. Since he helped him "smuggle" a radio, nothing else is as important as the broken radio except for seeing a doctor and eating.
"Well, I didn't go out just now knowing you came. Tang Qing was a little apologetic, the little girl didn't know how long she had been standing outside, "By the way, you ran out alone and told my parents." If I didn't say it, I would have to find a way to send them a message when I got back. ”
"I left a note. Hu Die hurriedly clarified, "Xiaoqing, I came to you this time to ask you for something." I really want to be Aunt Mei's apprentice, you can help me. I'm sure the dress I saw that day was hers. But then, the cloth shop has never opened again, and if you go there often, there must be a way to talk to the people inside. ”
Tang Qing calmed down, stopped wiping his hair on his hands, and stared at Hu Die: "Didn't my mother tell you, what is the situation outside now, don't you know? Even if I know her, how do you know if people are willing to accept you. Maybe she won't be able to keep herself, and she will drag herself down with you? Besides, even if you really learn other people's skills, when will you be able to use them. Listen to my mother, and follow her to work in the factory, won't you?"
"Godmother told you not to study medicine with Doctor Qin, did you listen?" Hu Die immediately retorted, "You can do what you want without hesitation, why can't I?"
"I'm not like you. Tang Qing was about to say this, but immediately swallowed it back. What's the difference? If you like something and want to do it without any scruples, isn't the starting point the word "like"?
In order to learn medicine from Dr. Qin, he left the Tang family and lived alone in the countryside. Why can't Hu Die take the risk and learn from Mei Niang.
"Have you thought it through for yourself? It's not that easy to follow. Tang Qing sighed.
"Of course. Seeing that Tang Qing was finally relieved, Hu Die said excitedly.
"I don't know any Aunt Mei, but since you insist, I'll help you ask Boss Rong's relative, if it's not Aunt Mei you said, and they don't want to take you as an apprentice, then this matter will end here. Tang Qing said.
