Chapter 211: Take a step back
In the cold winter, even adults can't withstand the cold, let alone children.
At this time, Mei Xiao, lying in her jacket, was already burning, and the little person was already burned and confused, but she was moaning uncomfortably in a coma.
Doctor Song was startled and hurriedly took it.
Mei Zhi's expression paused, and he stretched out his hand to stop it.
Although people in the countryside also pay attention to "the difference between men and women", they are all adult men and women, and there is no rule that "men and women do not sit at the age of seven".
The Mei family is different, the two generations of scholars in the Mei family have always paid attention to "rules".
Mei Xiao is seven years old this year, if according to the rules of the scholar's family, Dr. Song is a man with a foreign surname, and this move is inappropriate. But for now, such a yellow-haired girl, and she is seriously ill, it is ridiculous to mention what "male and female defense" is.
Mei Zhi pursed his lips, and there was more sarcasm on his face. The bullshit scholarly family, the greedy and lustful grandfather, and the gambling father are really fed up.
At this moment, Doctor Song had already carried Mei Xiao into the courtyard, and Du Qi hurriedly followed, Mei Zhi clenched his fist vigorously and followed in.
Mrs. Song was startled when she saw this, and hurriedly took over and placed Mei Xiao on the kang.
As soon as the Mei family was mentioned, I saw the two brothers and sisters of the Mei family coming over, and Mrs. Song was also sneering.
In the eyes of Mrs. Song, the Mei family is making such a fuss, in the final analysis, it is because they have entered the house, and the house-filling is not in harmony with the stepson and stepdaughter-in-law. Mrs. Song is the matchmaker of the village, and the family affairs of the Mei and Li families are naturally her matchmakers.
Seeing that Mei Xiao was sick like this, but only two and a half children appeared, Mrs. Song had to slander a few words in her heart "The stepmother has a black heart", but this scolded the Mei family's little Li family and the Du family's Li family.
Du Qi looked clumsy, but his mind has grown a lot in the past six months, and he said to Doctor Song: "In the afternoon, someone came from the Yamen, and my second sister thought that she was chasing gambling debts, so she sent Brother Zhi to go over the wall to my house to find someone, and hid the girl in the old house cabinet." ”
Speaking of this, Du Qi was also afraid for a while. If he hadn't thought about going to the yamen to get some points or two, so that Du Erniang would feel better, Du Erniang would have been so frightened that she couldn't think of this. When her mind stabilized and she remembered her daughter, without Du Qi arriving, the yamen might not dare to come back at night to spread the word, then Mei Xiao would be in danger.
I heard that it was frostbite, so I had to check on Mei Xiao's body. Doctor Song carefully checked the pulse first, and then took Du Qi and Mei Zhi to the hall, leaving Mrs. Song to check on Mei Xiao's body.
After a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Song came out and sighed: "But I have been sinned, and I am afraid that my hands and feet will have chilblains, but fortunately I am in the house, otherwise this little body will not be able to bear it." In addition to the medicine taken internally, two boxes of external application are also required. The latter sentence is said to Dr. Song.
Doctor Song still frowned, went out and grabbed two packets of antipyretics, and wrote a prescription: "Don't take care of anything else, first reduce the fever." Fortunately, the medicinal materials here can still make up a few servings, go back and take one first, and then take another one in the middle of the night, sweating a lot, I will go over to see it tomorrow, if you can't reduce the fever, you have to change the prescription, go to the town to buy medicine. ”
Du Qi listened carefully, took the medicine bag, put away the prescription, thanked him, and took out two pieces of broken silver from the purse, which were enough for five or six coins.
"I don't need that much." Doctor Song waved his hand: "The recipe doesn't need money, four packs of medicinal materials are 180 yuan." ”
Du Qi refused to take it back: "Ming'er has to bother you to go over and take a look, go to my house, the second brother-in-law is not at home, I will take my nephew and niece back." ”
Doctor Song just took it.
Two and a half teenagers brought sick children, and Dr. Song was not at ease, so he beckoned his son to send them back.
Seeing this, Aunt Song said, "You can't just go back like this, you still have to pack a bag." "After speaking, I went to the kang cabinet and turned out a flower quilt, and Mei Xiaobao was tightly packed before I asked someone to take it away.
Du Qi thanked him again, although Mei Zhi didn't speak, he was also grateful, and his eyes were red.
Mrs. Song saw it in her eyes, and when the group left, she sighed with her wife: "This little one looks good, but Mei Er is completely useless." ”
Doctor Song was silent and did not speak. Although they are villagers, in the end, the days of other people's families, the sighs and sighs will pass.

Du family, main house.
The room was already lit up, and it was dark outside.
Li was worried about his son, and he regretted it in his heart. should have stopped his son a long time ago, a half-grown child came forward, who knows if the yamen will recognize it? If they bully people, or just arrest their son, it will be really fatal.
Even if the yamen doesn't bully people, such a big wind and snow outside is also suspenseful.
At this time, the Li family didn't know whether to scold Du Erniang, who was arrested, or Mei Ping, who went to disobey the general's summons, or the Gui family, who bullied others and forced Mei Ping to this point.
The Li family was restless, and he couldn't help it, and wanted to go out to find his son, but the family's carriage was used by Du Lizheng, and Du Qi also borrowed the carriage from the village temporarily.
was in a hurry, and when he heard movement in the front yard, Li hurriedly greeted him.
When he saw Du Qiwan standing there intact, Li returned to his place and paid attention to others.
In the end, he was not a ruthless person, knowing that Mei Xiao was suffering from the cold, Li hurriedly let him go to the upper room, and hurriedly ordered people to boil medicine.
For a while, it was orderly.
When Sister Du heard the movement, she also rushed over.
Just heard that it was due to the wind and cold, Du Liujie stood far away and did not step forward.
Mei Zhi saw it in his eyes, and his little face was gloomy.
personally fed Mei Xiao to take medicine, and Li watched Du Qi and Mei Zhi eat hot noodles and drink ginger soup before sending them down to rest.
Mei Zhi wanted to stay, Li Shi said gently: "Your father and mother are not here, Nannan still expects you to take care of it, it's not bad for half a day, go down to rest first, and you will take care of Nannan during the day." If even you are sick, will your mother live? ”
Du Qi also said on the side: "Don't follow to add to the chaos, the second brother-in-law is not here, and Ming'er has to go to the county to find someone." "Let's just pull Mei Zhi down.
Mei Zhi reluctantly followed, and when he arrived at the door, he hesitated for a moment, turned around and whispered, "Then, can you also drink a bowl of ginger soup......
This is for fear that the Li family will be too sick.
Li's face was a little gentle, and he nodded and said, "Well, I'll drink it when I go back, Brother Zhi and your uncle will go down." ”
Although he followed Du Qi, Mei Zhi still remembered what Dr. Song said before, if the fever did not subside in the middle of the night, he would feed Mei Xiao another patch of medicine, so he slept unsteadily and woke up several times.
When he heard movement in the kitchen, Mei Zhi put on his clothes and went over to take a look.
Mei Xiao did not have a fever, and the Li family had already asked someone to boil the second patch of medicine, and was personally feeding Mei Xiao the medicine.
Seeing Mei Zhi coming, Li didn't urge him to go down this time, only touched Mei Xiao's forehead, and continued to ask the girl to change her veil.
The room was stuffy, and it was hot to the touch on the kang, Mei Xiao was covered with two layers of quilts, obviously Li listened to the doctor's instructions relayed by Du Qi, and was sweating for Mei Xiao.
Mei Xiaoxiao's face is still red, but there is a lot of stretching between her eyebrows and eyes, and her body is not the previous clothes, but a half-new boy's gown, which is slightly fat, it should be Du Qi's old clothes.
On the other hand, Li's body was still in the same clothes as before, and his face was tired, and he had not rested.
Mei Zhi saw it in his eyes, and there was confusion in his eyes.
Even if they take in the two of them, Li's mother and son don't need to do this, but Du Qi's wind and snow followed him to the yamen to do some work, and then Li's grandmother stayed awake all night to take care of Mei Xiao, how is this different from what my mother said on weekdays?
Although Mei Xiao did not have a fever, she was sweating, and Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and waved his hand to send Mei Zhi down.
Mei Zhi tightened his clothes and went back to the wing, but he tossed and turned, and he didn't close his eyes until dawn.
When Mei Zhi woke up, Dr. Song had already arrived and was diagnosing Mei Xiao's pulse.
Although Mei Xiao's fever has not completely subsided, it is not as hot as yesterday.
Doctor Song also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Continue to use this recipe, two stickers a day, and then go back and get four stickers." Also, make some noodle soup and don't put oil in the child's food. After these two days, it's almost enough to make up for it with Sanqi stewed chicken. ”
Li listened and asked someone to follow Dr. Song to get the medicine.
Du Li Zheng did not show up, obviously not at home, but Mei Xiao was able to be placed in the upper room, which should be Li's idea.
Li's father, Lao Li Tou, and his father-in-law, Du Lizheng, are both friends of the same age as Dr. Song, and seeing that Li's bad temperament is not as rumored, and still retains some kindness, Dr. Song is somewhat relieved in his heart.
*
After breakfast, Du Qi took Mei Zhi to the county seat again, but this time he went to find Mei Xiu.
Du Erniang is the wife of the Mei family, and Du Qi can come forward to do a little bit of something, but if she really wants to pick someone back, she has to come forward from the Mei family.
The illness of Mei Xiucai's little girl also spread in the village.
The Mei family and the Song family are not close, yesterday Du Qi's uncle and nephew held a sick child in a panicked appearance also fell in the eyes of people, this morning Dr. Song went to the Du family again, and someone came to inquire.
Mrs. Song thought in her heart that Xiao Li's family was bad, and she took pity on Mei Zhi's brothers and sisters, and she didn't mean to cover up for the Mei family, and directly said that Mei Xiao was sick.
If you want to say that yesterday, the big guy was still gloating, and Du Erniang, who has always been arrogant, is not good, but now they are a little concerned.
almost lost his life, Mei Tongsheng and Xiao Li still ignored it, they were both Du Qi and Mei Zhi, two and a half teenagers Zhang Luo, which was inevitably mean to their own flesh and blood.
"Killing people is not enough", there are often quarrels at home, Du Erniang is arrogant and unpleasant, she doesn't like her nephew, and her stepmother-in-law at Xiao Li's age may be a little unkind, but if you really want to say that there is any unfilial behavior towards Mei Tongsheng, it is still really not, but she is a rare diligent woman.
On the side of the Gui family's old house, I didn't know that there was such a thrilling follow-up to yesterday's "news", and it wasn't until Gui's second grandfather and Gui's second grandmother came over in person that everyone knew about Mei Xiao's illness.
Gui's second grandfather is here to find Gui Chongyang.
"Why did that old guy Meiping sue his son, you also know the third child, what do you think?" Second Grandpa Gui's face was solemn.
What can Gui Chongyang think?
Who knew there would be so many things?
If it's just Mei Ping's father and son tossing blindly, the Gui family just looks at the jokes, even Du Erniang is implicated, and almost dies a child, can the Gui family still be unforgiving at this time?
