Chapter 25: Catching Pills
Xiangqin came out of the small courtyard with a belly of anger and was about to go to the south courtyard, but after thinking about it, she changed direction and went to Dr. Liu's clinic.
The sun burrowed into the clouds as thick as a quilt, and the graying sky looked like a dusty mirror.
Parsley lingered for a while at the west end of the village, and the west end of Duanjiazhuang went all the way to the railway above the culvert, and the north and south extended were patches of green vegetable fields.
The spinach seedlings shivered in the cold wind, and the radishes, which had not yet emerged, stubbornly took root in the ground. The half-ripe garlic sprouts are limp and drooping on the leaves...... One family tastes, and there is no deliberate unified planting of seasonal vegetables, which is in response to the sentence "radish greens, each has its own love", but the almost uniform tender green color is really refreshing.
Liu's clinic is full of doors. It hasn't completely cooled down yet, and there are fewer people who are sick, so there are fewer people who naturally come to grab medicine.
A familiar Santana parked near the clinic, and Parsley stopped and hesitated, struggling only to add to his troubles, rather than being afraid of seeing Hong Cheng, it was better to face him open-mindedly.
Anyway, unlike before the rebirth, the current parsley and Hong Cheng don't have too much intersection, and parsley won't let herself have too much intersection with him.
But this time, she had to go.
Cleaning up the messy mind, Parsley took a firm step and stepped into the clinic.
Probably because the door of the clinic is open, it is extremely cold inside, and even if the sun often spills in, it can't drive away the chill here.
Xiangqin didn't see anyone left and right, so she called, "Doctor Liuβ"
Hong Cheng's lazy voice slipped out of the ward, "Doctor Liu is not here. β
Hong Cheng popped his head out of the bed, and when he saw that the person who came was Parsley, he jumped up from the bed with a rub, and the speed was so fast that even he was surprised.
"When will he be back?" Parsley asked.
"Soon, you can sit down for a while." Hong Cheng looks like the owner of this clinic.
Although Xiangqin was disgusted with Hong Cheng's cunning, she did not turn around and walk away, but sat quietly on a chair at the door of the clinic, waiting for Dr. Liu to come back.
The clouds dispersed, the sun came out, and the golden light fell on Parsley's body, and the soft-looking hair danced with the colors of the summer wheat waves.
Hong Cheng was attracted by her yellowed hair, which seemed to have the magic of absorbing sunlight, and it was even more difficult to take a look off her eyes, "Where did you dye your hair?" β
"Born." Parsley doesn't think her hair color is unique, it's just a result of malnutrition.
"The woman who didn't leave my uncle's clinic yesterday is your mother?"
Parsley thought that by keeping silent, she would be able to avoid the topic.
Hong Cheng seemed to deliberately say something very ugly, insinuating that Duan Qiuping could understand GuΓ² GuΓ², and indirectly slandered Parsley, "Why didn't you come with your mother?" Or did your mother change her strategy and ask you to match? β
Parsley just didn't understand what he was talking about.
"I'm asking you!" Hong Cheng is a little reluctant.
Parsley still ignored him.
"You're dumb, aren't you?" Hong Cheng was a little annoyed.
Xiangqin ignored him, and when she saw Dr. Liu, who was on call, coming back with a medicine box, she hurriedly got up and laughed awkwardly with Dr. Liu.
"Doctor Liu, don't forget what happened yesterday, my mother probably won't come again." The main purpose of Xiangqin's visit to the clinic is to apologize to Dr. Liu, "I'll say sorry to you on behalf of my mother." β
Dr. Liu did not prejudice against Parsley because of Duan Qiuping's farce. Today, Parsley specially apologized to him, which shows that this little girl's heart is like a mirror.
"It's not a big deal, but you came to tell me that you were sorry, but I didn't want to go, and this has nothing to do with you."
Dr. Liu was fortunate enough, fortunately, the matter ended quickly and did not get out of control, even if there were any rumors outside, it would naturally stop in two days.
Dr. Liu is thin-skinned and can blush easily, and Xiangqin knows this, but she didn't expect him to be an open-minded and tolerant person.
"I'm afraid that those unpleasant words outside will affect you." Parsley was ashamed, and always had a feeling of forced laughter.
There are still many people who come in and out of the clinic every day, and Dr. Liu has heard some rumors outside. Yesterday, Duan Qiuping made a fuss, and it was not only the parties who suffered, but even Parsley was implicated.
He heard gossip, saying that Duan Qiuping was a shameless slut/woman, no wonder Li Laosan divorced her and didn't even want her daughter. Many people suspect that parsley is not Li Laosan's species, but was born illegitimate between Duan Qiuping and the wild man.
Because Duan Qiuping and Xiangqin's mother and daughter became the target of public criticism, Dr. Liu, an innocent victim, was not affected much at all.
Because of this, he also felt sorry for parsley in his heart.
"Don't be afraid, the rumors stop at the wise, and it will be fine after a while." Dr. Liu smiled softly at Parsley.
He suddenly said a sentence in classical Chinese, and Parsley seemed to understand whether he understood or not, "What does it mean that rumors stop at the wise?" β
Xiangqin's cultural level is only Cheng DΓΉ in elementary school, and it is difficult for her to settle accounts, and she is worried in front of the slightly more complicated and difficult word games.
Seeing that she was like a curious baby, Dr. Liu couldn't help but wonder. Hearing Hong Cheng sneering at the side without concealing it, he glared at Hong Cheng with a warning look.
Parsley's face flushed, shouldn't she ask such a stupid question......
Dr. Liu patiently explained to her, "Rumors stop at the wise, that is, there are people out there who like to talk about it, and there are people who don't like to talk about it, and they don't like to talk about it, and they won't spread bad words to other people's ears." β
Xiangqin suddenly realized, and couldn't help but admire Dr. Liu, this literate person is good to speak.
Parsley lowered her head and brushed her hair down the roots of her ears, and her toes gently knocked against the gravel on the ground, not so much that she was shy and shy, but that she had something to say.
"What, Doctor Liu, I'm looking for you, there's one more thing ......"
"If you have anything to say, just ask." Dr. Lau was very happy.
Xiangqin mustered up her courage, and when she raised her head, her face was already flushed, "My mother is sick, I want to get some medicine from you first, and I will return the money to you in two days, do you think it's okay?" β
Dr. Liu was stunned for a moment, although this was not a difficult request, he always felt that something unnaturally fell into his heart.
"What medicine do you want?" Dr. Liu had already walked into the medicine cabinet, somewhat deliberately avoiding Parsley's gaze. Whenever he met her clear orange eyes, there was occasionally a strong, uncontrollable beat in his chest.
Xiangqin didn't notice Dr. Liu's abnormality, "Cold medicine." β
"What are the symptoms of your mother's cold?" Dr. Lau began the consultation.
"Runny nose, cough ......"
The price of Western medicine is expensive, and it is easy to doze off after eating, so Dr. Liu is very careful to prescribe the right medicine and wrap the parsley with three yuan of traditional Chinese medicine.
After thanking her, Parsley took the medicine and left.
Dr. Liu stared intently at the empty doorway, the golden sunlight on the floor at the door, as warm as the color of parsley hair.
Hong Cheng noticed it, and smiled frivolously, "Uncle, aren't you, you don't look down on her mother, dare you fall in love with her!" β
Doctor Liu was annoyed and angry, and said angrily to Hong Cheng, who was open-mouthed: "What are you talking nonsense, I'm an adult, can you take a fancy to her!"
Hong Cheng was a little stupid, touched his nose, and always felt that the sour taste in his heart came inexplicably.
