Nuan'er said a few words and told Fang Cai about it.

Lao Meng was ashamed and said: "Blame me for this matter!" ”

Xiaoguo hurriedly comforted: "Uncle Meng blames himself! If not, how can your Father-in-law meet you again? ”

Jiang Shangyi smiled: "Brother! If I can see you again, don't say flash my waist, even if I have half my life, it's worth it! ”

"Grandpa Jiang, you're poor again!" Nuan'er laughed on the side.

"Joke is joke, father-in-law, your face is so pale, let's find a Lang Zhong to take a look!" Small fruit road.

At that moment, a few people looked for a nearby inn to stay, and found the Lang Zhong with the highest medical skills in the town recommended by Lao Meng.

Seeing Ming Ze and Lang Zhong, they came out of the inner room.

"Doctor, how is my stepfather (Grandpa Jiang)?" Xiaoguo and Nuan'er hurriedly asked.

"The old man's waist bone is misaligned! Without a year and a half, it can't be better! Use this ointment I prescribed, apply it to your waist three times a day, and you will be sure to recover for one year at the latest! It's just that it's not easy to have too many activities during this period! Lang Zhong said, taking out a few porcelain bottles from the medicine box.

Xiaoguo hurriedly took it and said, "Thank you, doctor!" I'm sorry for you! ”

Na Langzhong walked to the door, suddenly stopped, looked up and down at Xiaoguo and a few people, and stopped talking.

"Doctor, but if you want anything to hide, you don't have to deal with it!" Xiaoguo was furious by him, thinking that his father-in-law had other problems, and said in a trembling voice.

"The old man in the inner room...... Forget it, when I didn't say it, take my leave! Lang Zhong sighed and left in a hurry.

"What did he say?" Xiao Guo looked at the two apprentices blankly and asked.

"Could it be that you're talking about Grandpa Meng? What a strange person! Nuan Er said.

Xiao Guo shook his head incomprehensibly and walked towards the inner room: "I'll go see my father-in-law!" ”

She knocked lightly on the door: "Father-in-law, Uncle Meng!" Is it easy to get in? ”

"Virtuous niece, the medicine is ready, come in!" Lao Meng replied.

Hearing this, Xiaoguo pushed the door and walked in.

The house was full of medicinal fragrance, Jiang Shang was lying on the collapse, his body had changed into loose clothes, and Lao Meng held a medicine bottle that was exactly the same as Xiaoguo's hand, and sat on one side.

"Father-in-law, do you still have a bad pain in your back?" Xiaoguo put all the unopened medicine bottles into a wooden box and put them away.

"Much better! This man is young, but he has some real skills, and as soon as the ointment is applied, the pain is reduced a lot! Jiang Shang sighed.

"Uncle Meng, how did you meet this Langzhong?" Xiaoguo remembered Lang Zhong's words and deeds when he left, and asked tentatively.

Lao Meng sighed: "The children in the family are weak, and they run to the hospital twice in three days, and after a long time, they have figured out the details of these Lang Lang!" That Huang Langzhong is the most decent Lang Zhong with the highest medical skills in the town! ”

"Brother, I heard that when you were entangled with that gangster, you mentioned life-saving money, what happened?" Jiang Shangdao.

Lao Meng thought of the situation at home, and his expression was in a trance.

After a while, he said with tears in his eyes: "Brother, I said goodbye to you that year, and with the little savings I had saved from working as a cow and a horse all my life, I came back here and found a woman whose husband died early to live with her!" I thought that this life would pass like this! I never thought that four years ago, my wife Lao Shu was pregnant when she rejuvenated, and I had a son in my old age! ”

He sniffed, and continued: "This child has been holding the medicine jar since he was a child, and I thought that in the past few years, when he was older, his body would get better, but I never thought that he was infected with lung fever a few days ago!" ”

"Dude!" He sighed, "I sacrificed my life to go into the mountains to find herbs in exchange for money, to treat the child's illness, maybe it was God's mercy, let me accidentally get this piece of ebony in the forest, I thought that the child was saved now!" I never wanted to meet those bastards! ”

Jiang Shang patted his hand and said with emotion: "Brother, you are separated from your brother, even if your nephew is seriously ill, why didn't you tell me earlier!" ”

Xiaoguo finally learned the reason why Lang Zhong wanted to stop talking, and he was already teary-eyed, and said: "You have a life-and-death relationship with your father-in-law, and we are our own family, why didn't you open your mouth when you saw it like this, and invited Huang Langzhong to go to the house to treat your younger brother?" ”

"Guo'er, my father-in-law has never begged you for anything, this time I will rely on the old man and sell the old, please let you go, please Huang Langzhong save my nephew!" Jiang Shang said and was about to get up.

Xiaoguo hurriedly stopped and said angrily: "Father-in-law, what are you doing?" Guo'er has always regarded you as her biological father, and when you took care of her in the past, she only felt that she should accept it so calmly, but today, it seems that my father-in-law does not regard me as a relative at all! ”

Jiang Shang saw that she was so annoyed that tears flowed, and he was anxious and remorseful: "Don't be angry, it's my father-in-law's mistake!" ”

Xiaoguo naturally knew that his father-in-law treated him sincerely, but he was just angry that he was just a brain-wrenching effort, and the request was divided.

She stopped her tears and feigned anger: "Then give my father-in-law another chance!" If you do this again, the fruit will never pay attention to you! ”

Jiang Shang was moved in his heart and agreed to come down.

Xiaoguo washed his face, then hurriedly pulled Lao Meng and invited Huang Langzhong again.

Meng Xiaode, Lao Meng's son, finally stopped coughing after drinking the decoction and slept a rare peaceful sleep.

Outside, Lao Meng and his wife thanked Xiaoguo and Huang Langzhong for their kindness.

"Don't thank me!" Huang Langzhong said seriously, "These herbs are all precious things, and Huang is a poor doctor, and he can't afford to be generous!" ”

Xiaoguo said: "Huang Langzhong is modest, if it weren't for your superb medical skills, how could these herbs be matched properly and cure Xiaode's disease?" ”

Huang Langzhong was stunned when he heard this, and then said with some displeasure: "Son, it is the unshirkable responsibility of my doctor to save the dead and help the wounded, and Hugh wants to praise Huang's affairs!" It is precisely because of you people who make judgments that some people are dizzy, forget their original intentions, only recognize money, and blacken their hearts! ”

The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and at the end of the day, he threw his sleeves away angrily.

Xiao Guo stared at his disappearing back dumbfounded, swallowed his saliva for a while, and stammered to Lao Meng and his wife: "I, did I offend Huang Langzhong?" ”

Lao Meng was also confused: "This, why is he so angry?" ”

Sister-in-law Meng pulled Xiaoguo and walked indoors, and said, "Xiaoguo, don't take it to heart, Huang Langzhong may have remembered something unhappy, although he has a strange temper, but he is not a bad person!" ”

Xiao Guo sighed for a long time: "This is indeed a strange person! ”

Afraid of affecting Xiaode's sleep next door, several people lowered their voices.

"Xiaoguo, there is nothing at home that you can handle, you will just take a sip of coarse tea to moisten your throat! It's really thanks to you this time, otherwise, Xiaode may ......" Sister-in-law Meng brought the teacup to Xiaoguo's hand, and her voice was a little choked.

"Aunt Meng, thank you! Didn't you say okay, don't mention it again? Xiaoguo took the teacup and said.

"Xiaoguo, your aunt didn't speak, you are Xiaode's life-saving benefactor! He is the benefactor of the old Meng family! Lao Meng said sincerely, and he solemnly wrote deeply.

"Uncle, aunt, don't do this!" Xiaoguo hurriedly helped Lao Meng and said hurriedly, "If you are so polite to me, in the future, I won't dare to come to see Xiaode again!" ”

Lao Meng and his wife glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Okay! Guo'er, in the future, you will be Xiaode's own sister, uncle and aunt, and you will be treated as your own child, and you will no longer be polite! ”

Xiaoguo said happily: "That's good!" It's great that I have three more loving relatives in this world! ”

Lao Meng and his wife saw her jumping happily, like a child who had not grown up, and they also laughed from the bottom of their hearts.

A few days later, Lao Meng came to the inn to visit Jiang Shang.

"It's not a way for you to stay in the inn all the time, why don't you move to my house first, and make do with it!"

"No need, Uncle Meng! There is no extra place in your house, and besides, Xiaode also needs a clean place to recuperate! Xiaoguo peeled the chestnut and stuffed it into Xiaoyu's mouth as she spoke.

Since Xiaoyu ate the shelled chestnuts, she leaned on Xiaoguo's side and asked her to peel the chestnuts and eat them.

"Guo'er, because of my waist, I have been delayed for so long, and now the sprain is much better, we don't have to wait any longer, let's start tomorrow! Don't miss out on the day to register for the Meal Contest! Jiang Shang sighed.

"Grandpa Jiang, don't worry, don't worry, it's still too late! In the past few days, Master has taught us some ways to make seafood, fish and shrimp, and time is not wasted! Ming Ze comforted.

Although he said this, everyone knew that time was indeed short, and there was no time to delay any longer.

"Father-in-law, I've always had an idea, I don't know what you think?" Xiao Guo pondered again and again, and slowly spoke.

"Tell me about it!"

"I was thinking, this is a rare area for free farming, why not buy a village here, and then buy some servants and grow chili peppers! The registration deadline for the meal contest is getting closer and closer, and your back injury can't be bumpy and tired, so you will temporarily stay in the Zhuangzi to recuperate, with Uncle Meng and them, you will not be lonely! As for the three of us, you can rest assured that there is a warm child! How about we pick you up when the meal contest is over and you find a suitable place to live? "Little fruit road.

"That's a great idea!" Jiang Shang said with a smile, "As for planting chili peppers, you and Uncle Meng can handle it, and there is no need to buy another servant!" ”

Xiaoguo objected: "No! Within three or five years of your body, you must not work and be injured again, otherwise, you will really fall into the root of the disease! Uncle Meng, I'll really have to work hard and help manage the manor! There is also Aunt Meng, in addition to taking care of Xiaode, she has to be annoyed to help restrain the servants! ”

In recent years, Lao Meng has been doing odd jobs everywhere for a living, and when he heard that Xiaoguo had purchased Zhuangzi, their family had a place to go, and he couldn't help but be happy, and said: "Guo'er really bought Zhuangzi, and your aunt and I will do our best to help!" ”

Several people discussed for a long time, and they all felt that this was the best of both worlds.

"It's just, I don't know if there are any people nearby who want to sell Zhuangzi?" Xiaoguo frowned.

"Brother, you have lived here for a long time, and you have a lot of contact with people on weekdays, do you know where there is a suitable Zhuangzi and you are interested in selling?" Jiang Shang said to Lao Meng.

Lao Meng put down the teacup, thought about it for a long time, and said happily: "Don't say it, there is really a Zhuangzi with fertile soil and excellent terrain, which is being sold everywhere!" ”

"Grandpa Meng, if it's really as good as you said, why does the master still sell it? Or do you ask someone to ask around for a buyer? Shouldn't everyone rush to buy it? Nuan'er was puzzled.

Lao Meng smiled mysteriously and said: "This Zhuangzi is in good condition, but in the past two years, there have been rumors that this Zhuangzi is haunted at night and is a ghost village!" ”
