Chapter 3 New Year's Closure
The country roads are not easy to walk, and the ox carts are swaying and unstable. Chen Suyun put a jacket under Ge Wenzhi's body and covered it with a piece on his body so that he would not be so uncomfortable.
A few years ago, the county was the most lively and busy.
There were originally three medical centers in the county, but two were closed one after another, and only the last one was open. There are more than 30 doctors in the hall, and the medical skills are really good, and it is said that the ancestor was a doctor in the palace.
What's the use of good medical skills, business is not good. It stands to reason that there is no one who will not get sick. But people in small places are not happy to enter the hospital, and if there is a minor illness, they would rather carry it by themselves, and they will get through it. The serious illness is even more unhappy, and it costs a lot of money, but it may not be cured.
Dr. Hao grinds herbs, and now the main income of the medical hall is to prepare some solid and mild formulas for the wealthy squire's family.
"Doctor, doctor......"
Ge Wenzhi was thin and weak, and Doctor Hao was not much surprised to see Ge Dongdong carrying him in, but only sighed in his heart that this girl was taller than him.
Dr. Hao asked Ge Dongdong to put Ge Wenzhi on a small couch in the medical hall.
"Doctor, he's been hit in the head. It's a big swollen bag, and I've been in a daze and haven't been very awake......," Chen Suyun said.
Doctor Hao took the pulse and touched the bag on the back of Ge Wenzhi's head.
"There's bruising, it's in the head, it's not easy to do."
It's not easy to do, but there is still a way.
"Please, doctor, I can pay as much money as I want." Chen Suyun touched the purse he was carrying in his arms, which contained the broken silver he had saved over the years, about ten taels, which should be enough.
"Hmm...... Quite a bit of your money...... Ah Quan! Bring me my golden needle! Doctor Hao shouted into the back hall.
"I'll give him an injection first, and then dispense medicine to dispel stasis, and it should be about the same for half a month. If you still have any problems in the future, you can bring him to the hospital to find me. Doctor Hao said.
"Thank you, doctor, thank you." Chen Suyun thanked him repeatedly.
The fire in the hospital hall was booming, and Ge Dongdong was sweating on his hot forehead in a thin jacket. The rest of the people just felt warm and reluctant to move.
Ge Wenzhi's clothes were ripped off, and the ribs on his body were clearly visible.
Most of the good food at home is eaten first by Ge Wenzhi, and his chicken's stomach is less than half of the autumn leaves and autumn flowers. How can it grow meat?
Chen Suyun was also distressed when she saw it. Ge Wenzhi is younger than her three daughters, and Chen Suyun raised him as a son. After going back, no matter how Ge Wenzhi refused, he had to force him to eat at least one bowl of rice at every meal!
Dr. Hao's set of gold needles is not used much, and the technique is actually a little rusty, but no one knows if it is not.
It's just that when this needle went down, Ge Wenzhi twitched, and Dr. Hao also twitched, for fear of piercing the wrong place.
"Mother, I'm a little hot, go out for a walk." Ge Dongdong is really hot, and it's not easy to open his clothes.
"There you go." Chen Suyun knew that her daughter was afraid of heat, and she didn't force her.
Ge Dongdong went out of the medical hall, found a small tea shed with only one roof to sit in, and asked for a cup of coarse tea for a penny. She was a little hungry, the food outside was too expensive, and she drank some water to cheat her stomach.
The men around him wrapped their padded jackets tightly, and it was better to walk on the road, and as soon as they sat down, there was no sun, so didn't they start to get cold.
"I heard that it's going to be conscripted again!"
"Go, go, old grandson, say these nonsense as soon as you drink big!" Others scolded him.
"I'm not talking nonsense! You know, I have a girl outside......" The old grandson vaguely said. Others sneered, and they all knew that he gave his daughter to someone as a concubine, and it was said that he was an official, but he hadn't seen him back for so many years, and everyone thought that the old grandson was bragging.
"The emperor's decree has already been issued, and it will be sent to all towns and villages!" The old grandson said.
"Cut. Returning the emperor's holy decree, do you know where the gate of the county government opens? ”
The old grandson didn't get the expected reaction, so he played another corner of wine and went home leisurely: "There is a man at home, hide it quickly." If you don't listen to me, it's you who cry~~"
Ge Dongdong listened to their words and thought of his own little uncle and a boy. Soldier? Hehe, the little uncle can't resist his shoulders and can't lift them.
The old grandson is full of nonsense, and he shouldn't think too much about what he says. Ge Dongdong was quickly distracted by the hunger in his stomach.
Doctor Hao's golden needle clicked, and Ge Wenzhi seemed to be much better all of a sudden, and his face slowly became ruddy.
Chen Suyun called Dr. Hao a miracle doctor. Doctor Hao listened to his heart comfortably, and his mouth was modest: "Don't say that, don't say that." ”
The consultation fee is six taels. It's not that Dr. Hao overcharged, the main reason is that the medicinal materials are expensive now, and he prescribed more warm medicine for Ge Yunzhi, which is cheap.
…………………………………………
After drinking the medicine for half a month, Ge Wenzhi's health is much better, and he can get out of bed and walk around. It's just that he doesn't like to talk much, and he talks less and less.
The end of the year has also arrived.
Couplets were pasted in the house, and the window paper was replaced.
Autumn leaves and autumn flowers changed into new clothes and went out to show off with their friends. Ge Wenzhi rested in the house. The rest of the people were in the kitchen with a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
The old woman smelled the smell in the kitchen, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Isn't it just a New Year, there is so much oil in calamity!" ”
"Nope. Grandma, my mother is stewing meat, it is meaty, but I don't put much oil. Ge Chunhua said, thinking in her heart that when eating, you can't let the old woman eat croquettes.
"Yo, how much meat is this bought! Loser, loser! The old woman touched her chest with her hand, "My heart hurts." ”
"Then you have to make up for it, don't people say what to eat, I'll go to the butcher to buy a pig's heart to make it up for you." Ge Xiahe said while knocking on the melon seeds.
The old woman choked on her words, and for a moment she didn't know what to say. In this family, Ge Xiahe can deal with the old woman.
"Spring flowers, after the New Year, you will be 16." The old woman didn't feel sorry for the money, but she didn't say that the granddaughter of her mother-in-law's family was distressed, "I married your grandfather at fourteen, and your mother was married at sixteen......"
"I said Su Yun, you don't grasp it. Can the time at the daughter's house be delayed? ”
Chen Suyun said again and again that she also wanted to tell her eldest daughter about the family.
"If my father doesn't come back, I won't marry." Ge Chunhua pinched the vegetarian pills and said without raising her head.
Ge Yunzhi is Ge Chunhua's father, which is a taboo topic in the Ge family. The Ge family didn't want to believe that Ge Yunzhi was dead, but if he hadn't died, how could he have not heard from him for so many years?
"Your father......" the old woman stopped when she said it. She wanted to say, what if your father didn't come back? But she also hopes that tomorrow, Ge Yunzhi will be able to appear at the door and shout at the door.
