Chapter 07: Eat and Slip Away
"It was the Divine Doctor Shi who said that you need to be happy to get better, so now we are going to Jiuhua to say goodbye, maybe you will get better faster after that!" The old lady had the right look on her decision.
It's hard for people to say anything, the brothers and sisters are snickering, Zhou Tingyan struggled again with a bitter face: "Grandma, I'm still underage, it's really not appropriate to get married......
"What is a minor?" The old lady didn't bother to think about it, and she didn't explain to him, she waved her hand and said impatiently: "Don't say it, since ancient times, children's marriages have been ordered by their parents to match the words of the concubine, what you say is not a minor, I don't want to hear it, I only know that Chongxi can make you feel good quickly, and you can't push back on this matter!" ”
"Grandma'......"
"That's it, now I'm hungry, I'm going to eat!" The old lady didn't talk to him, and asked Zhou Tingsi to take her to dinner.
Zhou Tingyan asked the younger sister if the other brothers had a partner, and she said that the eldest and the second brother had already agreed that it was because his injury had not been set for a date, and she and the third brother and the fourth brother had not, but the third brother already had a goal, so he almost pierced the window paper.
Zhou Tingyan is the first two big, and if he wants to escape, he will definitely not be able to escape, and now it seems that he can only wait for the end of the meal to find a way.
He came to the hospital, he was infected with a wound, although he didn't understand that the wound infection should have been in a coma or unable to get out of bed, but now he was just dizzy and had no strength in his body, not like a terminally ill wound infection, he didn't know what was going on.
The family arrived in the back room, where a table of food was set up, and the people watched them eat on the side, Zhou Tingyan couldn't stand it, so he had to come over to eat together, but the people didn't dare, and the old lady also asked him not to bother with saliva, and to eat quickly.
Zhou Tingyan was helpless, and he also knew that this period was like this, and he was powerless to change people's thousand-year-old habits by himself, so he had to change the topic without asking more, and asked: "Third brother, what about Dad and the eldest brother and second brother?" And then there is, you are here to accompany us, so don't you have to worry about the previous account collectors? ”
"There are people who collect the debts, so I don't need to bother! …… By the way, little brother, can you say these words, is it that you have been pretending all the time before? ”
Zhou Tingsi only reacted at this time, Zhou Tingyan could only explain to him briefly, Zhou Tingsi bowed his head slightly, and said: "So that's the case!" After taking a sip of wine, he continued: "Dad and eldest brother went to Hong Ziwei to collect fish, shrimp and yellow eel food, and the second brother went to Nanjing, I heard that there is a very powerful foreign doctor and Western magic medicine and Tianzhu divine oil, these things can cure you." I should be able to come back in these two days, but now that you can talk to me like this, it seems that your illness is cured? ”
"Hehe, if my illness is cured, will I still be so weak to speak?" Zhou Tingyan said with a strong smile: "Third brother, it's okay for you to say that the second brother went to invite a foreign doctor, but what's the matter with that Western magic medicine and Tianzhu divine oil, is it all related to my illness?" ”
"I don't know the specifics, I can only wait for the second brother to come back!"
Zhou Tingyan nodded, and finally asked, "By the way, third brother, who opened the hospital here?" ”
"Which one are you asking?"
"Are there several?"
"There is only one big hospital, and the Catholic Church of West Asia has built it here, and the small clinic is opened by countries such as Great Britain and the United States, except for the Chinese medicine in our country." Zhou Tingsi said.
Hearing what he said, Zhou Tingyan must be Spain, country Y and country M, but he didn't expect that there would be so many foreigners in such a small place. "Third brother, I see that it is almost late on the street today, and there are so many people, it seems that there is no shortage until dark, how many people must be here, in this period, is there no curfew at night?"
The others listened to the conversation while eating, and he said that the curfew was a reminder of the rules in the city at night in ancient times.
Zhou Tingsi took a sip of wine, ate the food and replied: "What's the curfew, there aren't many real residents here, most of them are floating people and people who do work, about 100,000." There are also people who are night owls and like to be active at night to find fun. Without looking at everyone's expressions, he continued to talk about the situation here.
There are dense markets and buildings in three streets and thirteen lanes, as well as various workshops and commercial houses, as well as all kinds of service industries have risen here, and the small island of the Quejiang River across the river, and there are more than 100 restaurants and tea houses and inns on this side, after the victory of the Xinhai Revolution, there are also banks in the Republic of China period, as well as silver buildings and money houses, and the interest and taxes in these places are hundreds of millions of silver dollars a year.
In addition, the development of commerce, logistics, and handicrafts was also unprecedentedly prosperous, and all kinds of merchants, as well as sauce shops, pastry factories, candle factories, theaters, newspaper houses, teahouses, casinos, brothels, tobacco houses, and power plants, were all readily available, and the new century era was completely entered.
Zhou Tingyan didn't expect that what he saw was just the tip of the iceberg, and listened to the third brother explain to him some modern intangible cultural heritages here, such as dragon boat racing and dragon dance, lion dance, folk songs and dried tea, white ginger, small grinding sesame oil, rattan weaving, pickles and other production processes, as well as the gang members who carried bags and worked on the dock, as well as the eight major merchant gangs, which established gangs.
Zhou Tingyan thought that the gang was only in Shanghai, but he didn't expect that there were in his hometown, but the gang here is not like that in Shanghai, there are romantic figures like Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng, and this is a small chamber of commerce.
Hearing what he said so much, Zhou Tingyan also understood a rough idea, no longer asked about other situations here, and decided at dinner, and later persuaded the fourth brother and the little sister to accompany him and go to the hospital to see if he was going to develop the first penicillin in the Republic of China.
I made up my mind, I desperately accelerated my eating, and when I was motivated, I completely forgot that I was still a patient, and at the same time sighed in my heart, no wonder many people call some scientists crazy, and now I seem to be beating chicken blood, isn't it similar to a madman.
Dinner was finished quickly, and without waiting for others to say something, he impatiently greeted Zhou Tingqing and Zhou Tingjie, and asked them to help themselves outside to see the night scene in front of everyone.
After Zhou Tingyan promised, he let the fourth brother and sister go out by herself, although the two of them were a little strange, but they also met his requirements, but it caused those who ate to look at him strangely.
The brother and sister were embarrassed for a moment, and after his flickering, they put their embarrassment behind them and quickly took him out of the restaurant and into the street.
This is a bustling town, even at night it is still brightly lit, this street is every house hangs lanterns in front of the door, to welcome guests who come at night, if the people here are not dressed in the Republic of China service, Zhou Tingyan still thinks that he is just in the modern night pedestrian street.
"Brother, do you two know where that big hospital is?" Soon after leaving the restaurant, Zhou Tingyan asked.
Zhou Tingqing stopped: "It's dark, do you have to go now?" ”
Zhou Tingyan was a little speechless: "Do you have to divide day and night to see a doctor?" ”
Zhou Tingjie was funny, Zhou Tingqing was embarrassed for a moment, and carried him quickly to the hospital with his little sister.
The three brothers and sisters came to the front of the Catholic church in a twist and turn, stopped and took a look, Zhou Tingyan thought that the hospital was set up in the church, but before asking, the two took him around again, and after a few minutes of rushing, they arrived at the door of a retro-style bungalow, and the door was written in traditional Chinese in the four big characters of Renai Hospital.
The three of them stopped for a moment, but when they entered the door, they stopped, Zhou Tingyan said a little strangely: "Why did you stop here, is it to be the door god of the hospital?" ”
"The doctors at this hospital don't believe in Chinese door gods." Zhou Tingjie smiled bitterly: "It's the first time we've come, we don't know anyone, and we don't know who to go to!" ”
"Do I need to know someone to see a doctor?" Zhou Tingyan was full of black lines, stretched his neck and signaled: "Go forward and see if there is a nurse station!" ”
"Nurse's station? This is a hospital, how can there be a nurse train! As he spoke, he carried him inside.
Zhou Tingyan didn't bother to explain what the nurse's station was, the three of them just walked a few steps, and then a blonde and blue-eyed beauty wearing a nurse's uniform and holding a sheet of information in her hand came over, and she was curious at the first sight of them, and asked in her not very proficient Mandarin: "What are you going to do here?" ”
The brother and sister looked like a kidnapping with Zhou Tingyan, Zhou Tingqing didn't explain to her, and asked directly: "Are you a doctor?" That's what you call a doctor? ”
She shook her head: "I'm just Monica, the nurse on duty, it's getting dark now, our doctor Verder is home from work, you can only come back tomorrow!" ”
