Chapter 299: Greetings
The next morning, Shermulin boarded a boat to the old house.
Wen originally wanted to go with her daughter, but it was inconvenient for her to stay in the old house for a long time, which didn't mean that she couldn't spare half a day to visit her mother-in-law. However, when they were about to go out, the female elders of the clan sent someone to spread the word that they were going to meet for a meeting today. Since the Wen family didn't want to use Mrs. Xie as an obvious reason to decline the invitation, they naturally had to let their daughter go alone.
However, she also agreed, and when the affairs of the clan were over and she had free time, she would go to the old mansion to greet Mrs. Xie.
Xie Mulin didn't care, anyway, Mrs. Xie's condition didn't recur too much, and the main purpose of her trip was to test the cement. Wen is not in the same way, but she is still happy to be free.
From Xie Jia Kok to Xie Jia Wan, the river is downstream, and the boat speed is faster than from Xie Jia Wan back to Xie Jia Wan. The boat on which Sherin was riding went very fast, and it took less than two quarters of an hour to reach the place.
The small wharf in front of the old mansion was still so dilapidated, and Xie Mulin had already obtained permission from the sect's side, thinking that as soon as the cement test was successful, he would renovate the old mansion first, and then repair the wharf. Otherwise, every time she stepped on the trestle, her feet would squeak and scream, as if there were more people walking, or the river was a little more turbulent, and the pier was about to collapse, which really made people feel insecure.
Ma Luyao and his wife got the letter, and they both came out, accompanied Xie Mulin all the way into the gate of the old house, and introduced her to the latest condition of Mrs. Xie all the way, and Ma Luyao also reported the results of the cement test by the way.
He had an excited look on his face. Obviously, he didn't expect that a plaster recipe that his girl casually found from the "ancient book" could have such a good result, saving money and time, and the renovation work of the old house seemed to be easier.
Xie Mulin went to see Mrs. Xie first.
She still lives in the back building, it seems that she has not gotten out of bed in the past few days, except for Gong, and even the cleansing is done by the girl wiping her body with wet wipes, and she thinks she is a seriously ill patient, and she doesn't plan to move more at all, as if doing a few more movements will damage her little remaining body vitality.
When she saw Xie Mulin coming to greet her, her originally dull and numb facial features suddenly became vivid, her eyes widened, as if she was about to open her mouth to scold, but because Pearl whispered "old lady" to her, her anger came to a sudden brake, and she couldn't hold back, and finally just put on a straight face and said to Xie Mulin: "So you still remember that my old woman is not dead?!" ”
Xie Mulin smiled slightly, and after making his due salute, he sat down on the three-foot wooden stool in front of the bed, and greeted Mrs. Xie warmly: "How are the old lady these days?" There are many things in the family, so I finished sweeping the tomb for the old lady, and my mother took my brothers to meet the elders of the clan, and the clan and several elders of the clan pulled my mother to discuss important matters. I was so busy that I didn't have a moment to spare. Even a few brothers have to get up early and go to bed late for Mr. Xueli's homework. I thought that the old lady could not be left unattended here, and it happened that our sisters were more leisurely, and I was older, so I rushed back to visit your old man's house. My mother said that she would come to greet you when she was done, and the old lady didn't have to worry too much about her. ”
Who cares so much about your mother and daughter?!
Old Mrs. Xie opened her mouth and wanted to squirt, but this time it was Mrs. He who reminded in a low voice on the other side: "Old lady take care." Once again, she suppressed the urge to scold, and could only take a few deep breaths in her resignation, and once again endured the breath.
Pearl immediately introduced the changes in Old Lady Xie's condition to Xie Mulin. It was roughly the same as what Xie Mulin had heard before, but the difference was only that she knew at this time that Old Lady Xie's three-meal meal had returned to normal dishes. She insisted on eating chicken, duck and fish, saying that eating only gruel had no strength, and it was not good for her condition, and if the cook did not provide her with good food, he would deliberately detain her.
Almost all the masters of the Xie family have left, and now those who remain in this old mansion are all subordinates except for Mrs. Xie. Big things can stop her, but where can small things get her? With the old lady Xie being mean and unkind to her own grandchildren, she is even more unlikely to be merciful to her subordinates. In case she really wants to accuse the people around her of bullying, Wen's mother and son may not be able to do anything about her. Besides, Ma Luyao and his wife have no good impression of Mrs. Xie, and they know that a light diet is more helpful for her condition, but she herself has to look for death, do they still want to stop her?
As a result, Mrs. Xie's diet has now returned to a recipe with meat and meat. In addition, she has eaten the porridge and side dishes for so long, her mouth is very light, and the meat is not made to be heavy, so she will dislike it. Therefore, her current diet is far from the word light, heavy meat, heavy oil, and heavy salt.
Xie Mulin had never seen anyone so good at death, and he almost wanted to laugh. She wanted to leave it alone, but she felt pitiful when she thought that the ignorant old woman probably didn't know what she had done.
She sighed and said to Mrs. Xie: "Dr. Du Mingming has repeatedly told the old lady to eat lightly, does the old lady really think that he has no purpose?" You want to eat meat and wait until you really get better. In the past, the whole family did not provide you with a shortage of delicacies from the mountains and seas, even now, there is ginseng in the prescription prescribed by Dr. Du, and my mother did not say that she was reluctant to spend money? Let you eat lightly, hoping that your illness will get better soon. You have to say that this is a family member who deliberately detains you and bullies you, which is too unreasonable.
"Naturally, we can let you eat big fish and meat at every meal, and you can eat whatever flavor you like. When I went back to Dr. Du for a follow-up visit, I saw that your condition had worsened a lot, and it was not our fault that we held you responsible. After all, you are an elder, and if you speak, who can disobey you? We are nothing but filial piety. But in the end, who will suffer? ”
Old Mrs. Xie had a dark face and stiffened her neck and said, "It's just that if you eat a few more pieces of meat, where will your condition be aggravated?" Don't be alarmist! After that, he asked confidently, "I haven't said you and your mother yet!" On that day, you went to worship your ancestors and sweep the tombs, and the whole family was there, why didn't you come to see me after you were done? I didn't even enter the door! What kind of etiquette is this? After doing this kind of thing, you also have the face to say that you are filial?! ”
Xie Mulin was not stunned at all: "So that the old lady knows that we also wanted to come back to visit you, but several clan elders and elders were on our boat at that time." My mother remembered that you said that we were never allowed to leak your news here, and that we did not want the people to come to see you, so how dare she disobey your orders? So he pretended to be okay and sent the elders back to Xie Jiajiao. But that day, my mother sent someone to deliver something to you. The medicine you prescribed in the past two days was specially caught by her at the city clinic and sent over. Haven't you heard? ”
Of course, I heard about it, but Mrs. Xie was still unhappy in her heart. What is a clansman? She doesn't look down on any of them. Wen was naturally right not to reveal her whereabouts, but it was very undesirable to use the family's boat to carry those rural buns. Why don't you let those people go on their own boats? Wen should have brought the child to greet her. What kind of filial piety is it to leave a sick person in the old mansion and ignore it?!
Old Mrs. Xie was about to mess around, but Xie Mulin took the first step to speak: "I heard that the old lady's condition is a little recurrent? What exactly is the reason for this? Tomorrow, Dr. Du will come for a follow-up visit, so you must tell him about the situation. The prescription I use now looks good at first and has obvious results, but since the condition has recurred, it proves that it is time to change the prescription. The new recipe needs to be carefully considered and as thoughtful as possible. That's the most important thing right now. Has the old lady figured out how to tell Dr. Du? ”
Mrs. Xie remembered that she suddenly became dizzy after she got angry, and somehow, she started to feel empty in her heart, and what she was going to say was also left behind.
