Chapter 43: A Family of Five

Wu Zheng rode a horse to Huang Xing's medical hall to sell the horse, and the ten taels of silver he got were used to catch the medicine, and after paying the consultation fee, there were only three taels of silver left in his hand.

Looking at the medical expenses of more than one acre of land with a fever, Wu Zheng finally knew why his grandmother was so surprised when she saw the old man Huang Xing appear in her house.

How can such medical expenses be paid in an expensive word, it is simply sky-high! It's no wonder that my aunt didn't dare to get sick, even if she was sick, she didn't dare to treat it.

Looking at the silver in his hand, he thought of the family's livelihood, if he didn't give his aunt medicine, then the three taels of silver would be enough for a family of five to eat in Yuzhou City for a month, but if he counted the three taels of silver, he didn't know if he could survive three days.

Wu Zheng walked alone on the streets of Yuzhou City, carrying broken silver in his hand, but he couldn't help but worry about his family's life.

In the past, I was ambitious to make a fortune with the whole cottage, but now let's solve the problem of eating for a family of five in front of me!

Seeing a stall selling breakfast on the street, he walked over and asked for five bowls of white porridge and ten big buns, and asked the boss to pack them and go home.

Wu Zheng twisted the steamed porridge back and handed it to his grandmother, and he went to the kitchen to boil medicine for his aunt, and it didn't take long for the fragrance of medicine to emerge from the bubbling lid, floating all over the house.

I don't know why Wu Zheng likes to smell this smell when he is a child, although many people say it is stinky, but he smells very fragrant, whether it is a Chinese medicine store or someone boiling medicine, Wu Zheng can smell it from afar.

At that time, many people said that he had a problem with his nose, but how to say it! Aren't there still many people in that world who like to smell gasoline? What's more, there are people who like to smell exhaust fumes. Wu Zheng felt that compared to them, his hobby of smelling Chinese medicine was harmless.

The medicine was boiled and brought into the aunt's house, and the aunt also woke up.

Looking at the sweat-stained aunt, Wu Zheng knew that his aunt's fever had begun to recede, Wu Zheng had to admire the magic of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture, without drinking medicine, just prick a few needles in a specific place on the body can actually have the effect of drinking medicine, and even in some cases, the effect of acupuncture is better than the effect of medicine.

Especially in those places where Wu Zheng's elders passed through lack of medical treatment and some backward places, such as Middle East Africa, whenever Wu Zheng looks at those who have a cause and have no money for treatment, he can only look at people who are waiting for death, he will inexplicably think of the acupuncture of the motherland, if someone can bring this craft to these places, even if they can't cure them all, but at least they can save many people every year for these places!

It's a pity that I have always wanted to learn this craft, but I have never had the opportunity.

Just when Wu Zheng was thinking about death in his head, the weak aunt woke Wu Zheng up from his memories with a "Zheng'er".

"Auntie, are you feeling better?" Wu Zheng sat down on the edge of the bed with the medicine.

The aunt slept on the bed and nodded and smiled, "Don't worry!" Zheng'er, Auntie is fine. By the way, Zheng'er, you haven't eaten yet! Auntie, I'm going to make you ......."

Seeing that her aunt was struggling to get up, Wu Zheng hurriedly held her down and said, "Auntie Zheng'er, grandma and those two little girls have all had breakfast, Mr. Huang said that you have to cultivate well when the wind is cold into your lungs, so you don't have to worry about things at home......"

Before Wu Zheng's words were finished, he saw his aunt grabbing his hand and said, "Zheng'er, what did you just say, which Mr. Huang is Mr. Huang?" ”

"What else can we have in Yuzhou City, isn't it the old Mr. Huang from the Huang Clinic?"

"Him! How much money does it cost, and where can our family afford to pay for Mr. Huang's consultation? Zheng'er, you are really ignorant, auntie, this sick aunt knows, where to invite a doctor, just cover the quilt and sweat, why spend such unjust money? By the way, Mr. Huang's consultation fee? ”

"Rest assured, the aunt's consultation fee and the nephew have already paid off the medicine, so Auntie, you can drink the medicine with peace of mind! Don't worry about the rest, now that your nephew is back, you'll leave all the family affairs to your nephew! ”

Wu Zheng's words are good, and the aunt who listened to them was very warm in her heart, but it was not good to say that this nephew was virtuous, how could she not know that she was an aunt?

struggled to get up, but no matter how strong her thoughts were, her weak body still betrayed her ruthlessly, and the aunt, who couldn't get up, could only think in her heart about how to wash more clothes for people in the future, so as to pay off the debt due to her illness.

After waiting for his aunt to drink the medicinal soup, Wu Zheng came to the living room and saw Xiaoying Xiaolan and the two little heads of the two little families holding two bowls bigger than their faces licking the bowls there, which made Wu Zheng feel worried at the same time, and he felt very happy in his heart, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the heads of the two little girls.

Although the hair of the two little girls was messy at this time, it was because the aunt was sick and no one combed her hair, so Wu Zheng asked the grandmother to comb her hair and prepare to comb the hair of the two little girls.

"Zheng'er don't care about these two wild girls first, eat breakfast first, and grandma will keep it!"

After grandma finished speaking, she went to the kitchen with a cane and brought out the porridge and steamed buns that had been hot in the pot, full of a small plate of porridge and six steamed buns, which made the two little girls greedy for a while.

Wu Zheng knew why the two little girls licked the bowl so hard just now, it turned out that there was not much breakfast, and grandma kept it for herself, and the two little girls seemed to be holding a bowl bigger than their faces, but they didn't eat much at all.

Seeing Xiaoying Xiaolan's eyes staring directly at the bun in her hand, grandma was angry and slapped the back of the head for each of them, and said angrily: "Two money losers, just now one person ate two buns and drank a bowl of porridge and haven't eaten enough?" ”

"Grandma, you haven't eaten yet?" Wu Zheng said.

The old grandmother sat down by the brazier and said with a smile: "Grandma, you don't have a good appetite and are not hungry when you are old, Zheng'er, you eat it while it's hot, it's not delicious." ”

Wu Zheng didn't say anything, and after scooping a small bowl of porridge and eating a bun for himself, he brought a bowl and a bun and said to the grandmother: "My grandson is full, I'm going to see my aunt." ”

Grandma pointed to the buns and porridge on the table and said, "Zheng'er still has so much, you don't want to eat more?" ”

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "My grandson has been eating meat every day in the mountains these days, and his stomach is full of oil and water!" I'm not hungry, grandma, you and your sister should eat quickly! I'll bring back some delicious food at noon. ”

Looking at Wu Zheng, who went to her aunt's house with breakfast, the grandmother felt that her grandson had changed, and she didn't even know herself as a grandmother, but the grandmother's heart was very happy, and the happy smile was piled on her face, which was two more happy tears than the smile she usually had when she looked at her grandson.

After persuading his aunt to finish breakfast, Wu Zheng went out alone, where to go Wu Zheng didn't know, anyway, he couldn't stay at home, because money would not fall from the sky if he stayed at home.

Now Wu Zheng has to find a way to find money, but after being crazy in Yuzhou City for a long time, Wu Zheng still found nothing, but at this moment, a big gambling word came into Wu Zheng's eyes like a bright light in the ocean......
