"Mom, Dad!" He Jiao suddenly shouted, broke away from Xiao Nan's hand and ran over, hugging the two old men.

Xiao Nan walked over and shouted with a smile: "Uncle, aunt." ”

"You're Xiao Nan." He Muzai looked at him carefully, and couldn't help nodding again and again, with a kind face, "After a day's journey, you're tired, right?" Come in and sit down. ”

"Hmm." Xiao Nan nodded, and found that when He Mu was talking, her hands were always shaking like twitches.

"Mom, you're seriously ill again." He Jiao hugged her mother, her eyes full of distress, "Didn't I say it all, you don't have to come out to pick it up, how long have you two been waiting?" ”

"It's fine." Father He waved his rough palms full of calluses, and limped towards the house, "We are also idle in the house, come out to see that our hearts are still steady." Xiao Nan, bring me something. ”

Xiao Nan didn't have the courage to do this, so he hurriedly waved his hand at the moment: "No, no, it's not heavy at all, I'll take it myself." ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Father He said quite politely, "Xiaojiao is wandering alone in the big city, thanks to your care." ”

Songshan is just a small place, but in the eyes of He's father and mother, it is already a great metropolis.

A few people entered the house, and in the dim light, a few plates of simple peasant dishes were already arranged.

"There are no good things at home, they are all some wild vegetables, and they can't be put on the table." Father He sighed and said, "I killed our chicken." ”

"Dad." He Jiao's face changed suddenly, "Didn't you say okay, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will stew it for you and my mother to replenish your body?" ”

"Hehe, you can bring your boyfriend back today, I'm happier than your mother after eating a cow, what else do you want to make up." Father He hurriedly beckoned to Xiao Nan, "Are you hungry?" Wash your hands and come and eat. ”

"Hey." Xiao Nan put down the things in his hand and responded busily.

He Jiao stood there, and couldn't help but redden.

"Look at you, girl, every time you come back, you shed tears." Father He frowned, "On the day of great joy, what are you like?" Let's go wash your hands and eat, don't piss me off with your mother. ”

He Jiao wiped her eyes, turned around and pulled Xiao Nan out: "Let's go wash our hands." ”

She walked to the well and scooped up a ladle of water and poured it into the enamel basin.

Xiao Nan stood behind him and looked at her delicate body trembling slightly, and opened her mouth: "Sister He..."

"I'm fine." He Jiao picked up the cold water, washed her face, turned around and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "Wash your hands and go into the house to eat." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Nan also washed his hands, and when he walked into the house with her, he saw that Father He and Mother He were getting together, talking happily, with a thick smile on their faces.

"Come and eat, the food is going to be cold." Mother He beckoned the two of them to sit at the table, staring at Xiao Nan with a rather satisfied smile, "Child, how old are you?" ”

"Uh..." Xiao Nan froze slightly, muttering in his heart, how to answer? You can't just tell them that you're only nineteen years old now, and you won't be twenty years old in a little more than a month, right?

He hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile: "Auntie, I am twenty-four this year. ”

Xiao Nan really worked hard, and he added four years to himself with one mouth.

He Mu sighed softly: "Oh, that's four years younger than our little petite." ”

Xiao Nan raised her eyes to look at He Jiao, who was blushing beside her, and thought to herself, it turned out that she was twenty-eight years old this year.

"Aunt, as the saying goes, a female junior, hug the gold bricks." He smiled and said, "What's more, four years older?" It's clear that I've picked up a treasure. ”

"But..."Mother He hesitated again, "You are young, our Xiaojiao has been divorced once, have you considered all of this?" Is it appropriate for you to be together? ”

"Hey, it's okay." Father He hurriedly interrupted her, "Everyone is happy, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xiaojiao finally brought her boyfriend back, what do you have to do to persuade others to break up? ”

"I didn't mean that, of course I want my daughter to be well..."

"Eat, stop talking nonsense." Father He said very dissatisfied, scooped up the fragrant white rice with a spoon, and handed it to Mother He's mouth.

He glanced at Xiao Nan and said with some embarrassment: "Your aunt is an old problem, her hands are shaking badly, and she has to be fed by me every time." ”

Xiao Nan didn't move the chopsticks, he looked at He Mu carefully, and said to He Jiao: "You go to my travel bag, open the outermost pocket, there is an iron box, take it." ”

"Oh." He Jiao hurriedly nodded, hurriedly got up and picked up his travel bag, turned out the iron box, and brought it to Xiao Nan.

Father and mother were puzzled: "This is..."

Xiao Nan broke open the iron box, took out a finger-long silver needle from it, and turned to Mother He and said, "Auntie, stretch out your hand to me." ”

"You are—" He Mu was skeptical, but still stretched out a trembling hand.

Xiao Nan pinched her wrist, rolled up her sleeve, and suddenly plunged the silver needle in her hand into her forearm.

"Huh?" He Mu blinked, staring at her motionless hand, looking stunned, "Don't shake?" It's been more than ten years, and you don't shake anymore? ”

Xiao Nan took out the second silver needle and said lightly: "Auntie, the other hand." ”

"Ah, good, good." He Mu handed her hand over with a look of ecstasy, and Xiao Nan still took the same steps as just now, piercing the silver needle into her other forearm.

Father He looked excited, and jumped up from the stool all of a sudden: "What's going on?" ”

He Jiao obviously didn't expect Xiao Nan to have such a powerful means, so she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her jade hand, and looked at him with shock in her eyes.

Xiao Nan met the eyes of the other three and grinned a little awkwardly: "Actually, it's not a big deal, on the surface, my aunt's hand trembling is because of a muscle spasm on her forearm." I used a silver needle to temporarily hold that muscle in place so we could have a good meal. When the silver needle is withdrawn, the old problem will be repeated. ”

"Xiao Nan." Father He's body tensed, and his voice trembled and asked, "What do you do?" ”

"I work in a medical clinic and am a sitting doctor."

"So it's a doctor?" Father He had a look of sudden realization, "Then your aunt's illness..."

"Don't worry, when we're done eating, I'll take a closer look at my aunt."

"Good, good." Father He nodded again and again, "Eat, let's eat first." ”

"You don't need to feed it." He Mu said happily and picked up the chopsticks by herself, "It's been more than ten years, it's the first time I've been so relaxed, Xiao Nan, thank you so much." ”

"I didn't expect you to be a doctor." She babbled and said, "Xiaojiao didn't make it clear on the phone, and kept us in the dark." ”

Father He urged: "Okay, you don't talk anymore, let's eat quickly." When you finish this meal, let Xiao Nan help take a look at your illness. ”

"Well said." Xiao Nan smiled and nodded, "Uncle and aunt eat slowly, don't worry." ”

He Jiao pursed her lips, and looked at him with a gaze full of gratitude: "My mother has had this disease for more than ten years, and she is tortured every day. After seeing so many doctors, it didn't work, I really didn't expect you to have an effect as soon as you came..."

"yes." Father He nodded again and again, "Xiao Nan, you are simply the lucky star of our He family." Xiaojiao, you finally found a satisfactory son-in-law for your parents this time. ”

He Jiao blushed: "We haven't reached the point of talking about marriage yet..."

"What are you waiting for? Xiao Nan has a good character, a good job, and I don't dislike you for being divorced, and you're old..."Mother He hurriedly said, "If you two really have a heart, let's get married quickly, and let me hug my grandson as soon as possible..."

He Jiao pursed her lips: "How long has he been in the door, you can see that his character is good..."

"You child..."He Mu scolded, "I have to let your mother be anxious with you, and I don't care at all..."

"Alright, you eat quickly." Father He interrupted her again, "The young man knows it in his own heart, so you can say a few words." ”

The meal was a great one.

After dinner, He Jiao took the initiative to wash the dishes. Xiao Nan, accompanied by He's father, diagnosed He's mother.

Father He said: "If you calculate it carefully, this problem has been 17 years. At first, it was only an occasional hand tremor, but then it became more and more serious, and I couldn't even hold the chopsticks. has developed until now, and at the worst time, I had convulsions all over my body, and I was dying of pain. ”

Xiao Nan looked up and asked, "Do you know what caused it?" ”

Father He sat down on the edge of the bed and frowned slightly: "If you have to say... That is, after working in the field that day, it rained heavily on the way back. Your aunt's clothes were all smashed, and when she came home, she caught a cold, and she was seriously ill. ”

Xiao Nan asked again: "When it hurts, how do you feel?" ”

He Mu replied: "It's like a pinprick, it hurts to jump." ”

"That's neuralgia." Xiao Nan nodded and pinched her arm again, "Does it still hurt now?" ”

"It hurts, too, but it's not that bad."

"Well, got it, I'll cut your pulse."

He Jiao finished brushing the dishes, hurriedly ran into the house, and asked nervously: "Xiao Nan, my mother... Can it be cured? ”

Xiao Nan withdrew his hand and looked at her with a smile: "If I say that it can be cured, is there a reward?" ”

"Really?" He Jiaojiao's body trembled fiercely, and hurriedly grabbed his arm, "My mother's illness can really be cured?" ”

"Of course." Xiao Nan said with some pride, "So far, I haven't encountered a disease that I can't cure. ”

"Great! That's great! Before He Jiao could speak, Father He first shouted extremely excitedly, "Seventeen years, after seventeen years of sin, there is finally hope!" ”

He Jiao hurriedly asked, "Then how long will it take for my mother's illness to be treated?" ”

"Hmm..."Xiao Nan lowered his head and thought for a moment, "I'll use a silver needle to help my aunt dredge her qi and blood tonight to ensure that she won't suffer again tonight." Tomorrow I'll have to go up the mountain to see if there are any herbs I need nearby. If the herbs can be prepared, my aunt's illness will soon be cured. ”
