Chapter 170: The First Dose
Wan Haisheng was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand again and again, and defended: "I didn't mean that. Ah Jing, you have your own business outside, how can I blame you, your parents don't blame you, and no one in our village blames you. I want to say not this, but ......, but ......"
"And what? If you don't say I'm gone! Du Jingyi stomped her feet angrily, people are still hungry, you actually swallowed back the words to your mouth, how can you look like a shy little girl. When she thought of being shy, she suddenly had a bad premonition, could it be that this ......, this Wan Haisheng ......, shouldn't she want to confess to herself?
Her premonition is really good, but Wan Haisheng thought that the opportunity could not be lost, and he would not come again, although this time was not very good, and his mother was still seriously ill, but Chen Weiche gave him stimulation and pressure, and the next time Ah Jing came back, he didn't know when it would be, he didn't want to endure this torment anymore, and he was going to ask clearly, so he finally mustered up the courage and said: "Ah Jing, I, I'm actually very ......, I like you very much......"
"What do you say? I didn't hear it! Du Jingyi frowned lightly, the other party's voice was too quiet, like a mosquito, you are still a strong boy. Where can I compare to my Wei Che brother, with a loud voice!
"Ahh …… I mean......, I mean......, that, was that boy your boyfriend? Where did Wan Haisheng dare to say it a second time, stammered a few times, and asked another question, which he was also very concerned about, which was equivalent to knocking on the side.
Du Jingyi laughed and said, "I thought you were going to ask something!" So that's it! But when did you become so gossipy? Hehe, I won't tell you! Alright, I'm going to cook, I'm starving! ”
This is a girl's private matter, how can I tell you a big man, Du Jingyi turned her head and left, leaving Wan Haisheng alone to stay where he was, muttering: "Don't tell me?" That's the default? ”
He suddenly felt a trace of misery in his heart, and then, the whole person withered at once, and walked out in despair, and when he reached the gate of the courtyard, such a big broom was blown down by the wind and lay across the ground, and he did not see it, but he tripped and stumbled, and almost fell.
……………… At the same time, in the kitchen, Chen Weiche started to make a fire, and he finally knew why Du Jingyi's father called the kitchen "burning house", because it was a burning house, there was no gas, no natural gas, not even honeycomb coal, and some were just a mouthful of clay boil, which had only been seen in TV dramas that reflected rural life before, and was directly thrown into the hall with firewood to burn.
However, this kind of boil is different from the outdoor barbecue, there is a certain degree of difficulty, Chen Weiche has never used it, tried to light a fire, but it can't burn, thinking that oxygen can help combustion, so he leaned over and suddenly blew a breath inside, as a result, the smoke rolled out, choking him so much that tears flowed out, coughing non-stop.
At this time, Du Jingyi came over, saw his embarrassed appearance, couldn't help but "poof", covered her mouth and chuckled, and walked over and said, "The eldest young master is the eldest young master, let me, a little girl, serve you!" ”
Chen Weiche coughed, stepped back, and said while coughing, "Choke me to death!" I'm inexperienced, and when I'm used to it, this won't happen! I should have blown it gently. ”
This guy just wants to save face, Du Jingyi smiled "hehe" and drove him away, and he squatted in Chen Weiche's position just now, and then picked up the tongs and played with it, and I didn't see how hard she blew, just gently flicked it, and fanned it a little with her hand, and then "puffed" the ground, and the bright flame burned.
"You're still amazing!" Chen Weiche gave a thumbs up and praised while wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Of course, I have been diligent since I was a child, and I have done housework a lot!" Du Jingyi looked at him sideways, and couldn't help laughing, Chen Weiche was inexplicable, Du Jingyi pointed to his forehead, Chen Weiche touched it again, looked at his hands, and then woke up, it turned out that there was black ash on his hands, and he wiped his forehead just now, and now he has become a flower-faced cat.
Du Jingyi put rice in the pot, felt that Chen Weiche added less water, added some water, and told Chen Weiche to watch the fire, and then she ran to the well to fetch a bucket of water for Chen Weiche, and took a basin, and asked Chen Weiche to wash his face first. Towels and toothbrushes are all brought with them, and they have used them on the train.
The well water was very clear and cool, Chen Weiche asked if he could drink it, Du Jingyi nodded, and said: "The well in my house is connected to the mountain spring in the mountain, which is equivalent to an artificial spring." ”
Chen Weiche scooped up a spoonful, grunted, and drank it freely, it was really sweet, Du Jingyi also drank a few sips, and then Chen Weiche washed his face, and Du Jingyi went to cook porridge.
After cooking the porridge, it was served in an enamel basin, and immediately fried a side dish, and a plate of pickled dried radish, which was crunchy, and the two of them did not eat in the kitchen, because it was too stuffy, but moved the table to the yard, and now it was dark, but the moonlight was excellent, and there was a breeze on the face, except for some mosquito scratches, it was quite emotional.
However, since Du Jingyi laughed in the kitchen, she has always been expressionless when she eats, and she doesn't say much, Chen Weiche knows that she is uncomfortable and can't really let go, and occasionally forced a smile to cheer herself up, so that she can be optimistic and strong, and immediately comforted her: "Jingyi, I just thought of a recipe, try it for your mother at night, maybe it will work!" ”
"Oh? Is it true? Du Jingyi immediately put down her chopsticks happily, then glanced at the sky, and said, "It's a pity that it's late today, where are we going to grab medicine?" When you get to town, others are already closed. ”
Chen Weiche said: "It's okay, I brought some medicinal materials, and my recipe is just enough." ”
"Ah Jing, have you just had dinner?" was eating, a kind voice came from outside the door, Chen Weiche and Du Jingyi turned their heads to look, only to see a gray-haired grandmother.
"Mother-in-law, why are you here?" Du Jingyi hurriedly stood up and went over to help the old man. This person is the youngest brother-in-law of Du Jingyi's grandfather, equivalent to Du Jingyi's grandmother, and she is also very senior in the village, but Du Jingyi's grandparents have long since passed away. The mother-in-law's husband, Du Jingyi's grandfather, also passed away.
The old man was over eighty years old, on crutches, carrying a basket of eggs, walking tremblingly, he was very happy to see Du Jingyi, holding her hand, looking left and right, and saying as he walked: "I heard that you came back, so I brought a few eggs for you to eat!" This is all just saved by my mother-in-law this month, it is very fresh, hehe, our Ah Jing is getting more and more handsome! ”
"Mother-in-law, you're too awarded!" Du Jingyi was still a little happy to hear others praise her for being beautiful.
Then, the mother-in-law walked in, she was presbyopia, and when she got closer, she saw Chen Weiche's face clearly, and said: "I thought it was Haisheng's boy, but it turned out that it wasn't, this young man is ......, oh, Ah Jing, it's the boyfriend you brought back, right?" ”
Although the old grandmother is old, she also knows that she is in free love now, and she has long been nagging, asking Du Jingyi to find a handsome guy in the city in the future, and now when she sees Chen Weiche, she feels that this young man is tall and burly, and her appearance is dignified, her eyes can't help but light up, and she is quite satisfied in her heart, and she is also happy for Du Jingyi!
Du Jingyi was a little shy, and said angrily: "Mother-in-law~, he's just my colleague, okay, he came back with me this time, and by the way, give my mother a doctor." ”
Chen Weiche also stood up, greeted the old grandmother with a smile, and said, "Hello mother-in-law, you sit here." Then he quickly gave up his chair to the other party.
The mother-in-law is not polite, in her opinion, this is the grandson-in-law honoring herself, she immediately sat down with a smile, and her impression of Chen Weiche became better and better, and she said that this young man was polite, and stood up to give up her seat to the old woman, and immediately pulled Du Jingyi's hand, and said with a smile: "You girl, bring your boyfriend back, bring it back, we are all happy for you, why are you still ashamed!" It's all big girls, like Lan Lan in Gejiatai in the neighboring village, who is the same age as you, there are two children, and the youngest one is in kindergarten! She used to be a classmate of you in elementary school, right? I came over two days ago and asked how you are doing, have you found a boyfriend, hehe. ”
"Mother-in-law~" Du Jingyi was ashamed and didn't bother to argue. Chen Weiche smiled, it was not easy to explain, otherwise it would be embarrassing. Immediately smiled and talked to the side.
The mother-in-law was very concerned about Chen Weiche and began to investigate, just asking some "Young man, how old are you this year?" "Where's home?" "How did you meet our Ah Jing?" When the elders asked, Chen Weiche naturally didn't want to answer, so he immediately asked what to answer, and there was one thing to say. It's just that when it comes to his own life experience, he talks nonsense, just saying that it is an ordinary family in the city, and if he tells his true family background, it will not be good in case he scares others.
was talking, and after a while, many neighbors, as well as the immediate family members of Du Jingyi's family, rushed over when they heard the news, and they were all holding things, such as eggs, vegetables, corn, sweet potatoes or something, someone also caught an old hen of their own and came over, and the third aunt who had seen it before was also among them, and carried a live fish, saying that it was caught by Ah Jing and her uncle in the afternoon, and specially asked her to send it over.
These things are naturally for Du Jingyi to eat, because her mother is sick, and her family has a lot of barren land, and many things are not planted.
In the past, these close neighbors also often helped Du Jingyi's family, but now that she is back, everyone has found this excuse and sent things over again. Because after giving too many times, Du Jingyi's father Du Zhongkun couldn't erase his face. But now, Du Jingyi is back, and she brings something over to Du Jingyi to eat, and Du Zhongkun can't refuse.
Du Jingyi was quite moved and cried profusely.
"Don't cry, girl, even if your mother is gone, there will be aunts, second aunts, third aunts, fourth aunts, fifth aunts, and sixth aunts in the future......"
"That's it, Ah Jing, I believe Auntie, the difficulties are only temporary, maybe your mother's condition will improve?"
"Well, I hope so!" Du Jingyi still has confidence in Chen Weiche.
Then, everyone asked about Chen Weiche again, after all, Du Jingyi suddenly brought a handsome guy back, and everyone was not interested.
Before Du Jingyi had time to introduce it, the mother-in-law took the lead in shouting: "This young man is Ah Jing's boyfriend, a talent, I think we Ah Jing are a match, a match made in heaven, according to my old man's opinion, let them get married as soon as possible, and also give her mother Chong Chong!" ”
Chongxi is a superstitious custom that has been passed down in the countryside for thousands of years. When someone in the family is critically ill, try to exorcise the disease by holding a happy event, so as to turn the crisis into peace: you should quickly marry him/her (or his son, brother, daughter) and rejoice, and the illness will be cured.
"Mother-in-law~, what age is this, and I'm still happy, it's not scientific at all! Besides, he's not my boyfriend, he's my colleague! Du Jingyi defended, but she couldn't help but blush, and her eyes flashed with shyness and joy. Just ask, is there a girl who doesn't like others to say that her sweetheart is her husband or boyfriend? They are also required to get married immediately!
The mother-in-law waved her hand and said: "Whether the science is scientific or not, I don't understand science, I only know that this is a custom passed down from generation to generation, and sometimes it really works!" Listen to my old man about this matter, and I'll go back and tell your father. ”
The people on the side also coaxed one after another, saying, "Ah Jing, what are you afraid of, everyone has brought it back!" ”
"That's it, it's a big girl, and you can start a family a long time ago!"
"And this young man is really good, he came all the way to visit Du Jingyi's mother."
"Indeed, he is handsome and polite, and he is still a doctor in a big hospital!"
"The doctor is good, the salary is high, the social status is also high, and he has a future!"
"Ah Jing is handsome, and she is a nurse in a big hospital, how can there be a young man in these ten miles and eight towns who can be worthy of her? This young man is different, he is still in the same unit as Ah Jing. It's also convenient to take care of each other in the future! ”
"Alas, Ah Jing finally found a wishful man. We're happy for you, too! ”
"Hehe, hurry up and get ready for the bar!"
…… Du Jingyi was ashamed, and said with a smile: "I haven't written the eight characters yet, and I'm not ready." ”
The mother-in-law said: "Yes, they just came back, they haven't eaten yet, we are here, they can't eat well, let's disperse, let's disperse, let these two drink porridge together, cultivate feelings, we don't disturb them!" ”
"Uh-huh, don't disturb the two-person world of these two small bites! Ah Jing, I'm going to play at the third aunt's house tomorrow! ”
"Ah Jing, I remember to go around the second mother's house and leave you a lot of fruits, but I can't take them today, so I didn't bring them over. I'll give it to you tomorrow! "This fruit is grown by their own family, picked and eaten, very fresh, and pollution-free, because it is eaten at home, basically no pesticides, can not be bought in the city.
"Uh-huh, okay, okay, I'll go as soon as I'm free!" Du Jingyi waved her hand with a smile, and finally sent these elders away, and then continued to drink porridge with Chen Weiche.
It's just that she didn't dare to look at Chen Weiche, lowered her head and drank porridge, and said quietly: "Brother, don't mind, people in the countryside are like this." None of them have malicious intent! ”
"I know." Chen Weiche smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Du Jingyi glanced at him and said angrily.
"Nothing, nothing, drink porridge!"
……………… After the two finished drinking the porridge, Chen Weiche went to the kitchen to dispense medicine and boil medicine, and Du Jingyi and their family had an earthen pot, which could just be used to boil Chinese medicine. This jar was originally used to simmer soup, but now he can't take care of it so much, so Du Jingyi asked him to use this jar.
Then, Du Jingyi went to clean up the room, her own room didn't need to be cleaned up much, it was always very tidy, no one came in to live, just cleaned it a little, and then spread clean sheets and quilt covers, as for Chen Weiche, he had to be wronged to sleep in the firewood room. However, Du Jingyi is ingenious, even if it is a firewood room, it has become very warm after careful arrangement. Du Jingyi also prepared a white mosquito net for him, there are many mosquitoes in the mountains, and it is not possible to do without a mosquito net.
Chen Weiche carefully dispensed the medicine in the kitchen, which is a formula researched by a senior doctor, including 6 grams of Bupleurum chinensis, 6 grams of Magnolia officinalis, 6 grams of tangerine peel, 10 grams of angelica, 15 grams of Poria cocos, 10 grams of fried white peony, 10 grams of roses, 10 grams of atractylodes, 10 grams of neem seeds, 12 grams of dried rehmannia, 3 grams of peppermint, 12 grams of astragalus, 12 grams of Codonopsis, 12 grams of Ophiopogon vulgaris, 10 grams of sour jujube kernels, 6 grams of Yuanzhi, 6 grams of boiled licorice, 6 grams of patchouli incense, and 6 grams of Schisandra chinensis.
Chen Weiche prepared the medicinal materials, first soaked in cold water for half an hour, and then began to boil in a clay pot, first fried with a martial fire, and then boiled with a simmer, boiled for about half an hour, almost, then took out a medium-grade Yuanqi Pill, picked out a larger rice grain, threw it in, stirred, continued to simmer for ten minutes, and then extinguished the fire.
It's not that Chen Weiche is reluctant to give up the Yuan Qi Pill, but Du Jingyi's mother is extremely weak, and if she puts too much, she will not be able to make up for it, but it will be harmful to her body.
When Chen Weiche came in and said that the Chinese medicine had been boiled, Du Jingyi's whole family was present, very nervous, especially Du Jingyi, she had the highest hope for Chen Weiche, and she was naturally worried.
"It's okay, try it first, if the effect is not good, I'll study other methods, at least, I can make my aunt's life not in danger in a short time!" Chen Weiche said. With the methods of his doctor, even if he can't be cured, it is relatively easy to prolong his life for a month or two.
However, Du Jingyi's mother hadn't woken up at this time, so Chen Weiche didn't pour the medicine, so as not to pour it out and get cold. After waiting for about half an hour, Du Jingyi's mother groaned. Yin opened her eyes, Rao is three sleeping pills, but she couldn't let her rest for eight hours, and it was only more than five hours before she woke up painfully. What is called disease, this is called disease, it can grind people to death!
Du Jingyi's mother wants to urinate, this time, Du Jingyi personally waited, helped her mother untie her pants, and took the spittoon below, the old man was terminally ill, and naturally lost the ability to take care of himself, this kind of thing is inevitably dirty and smelly, but Du Jingyi didn't frown, some were just distressed.
Chen Weiche was inconvenient to watch from the sidelines, and Du Zhongkun and Du Xiaotao all walked out. Both father and son followed Chen Weiche into the kitchen to see the Chinese medicine he boiled.
