"Yo, pomegranate flower, why did you come and leave, let's have more fun!" Mrs. Xu smiled, and the meat on the plate was squeezed in the middle of her face like a steamed bun, which looked a little funny.

Pomegranate understood that Mrs. Xu was fake, and replied with a smile: "Mother-in-law, I still have something to do, I'll come back in two days." ”

"Well, then I won't keep you. It's good to go, remember to bring it to your in-laws. Xu Pozi said.

"Okay, mother-in-law."

"Mother, I'll send my little sister." Xinghua said to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu put on a kind face, "Go, go, go, be careful on the road, don't bump into it." ”

The apricot blossom responded and walked to the gate of the courtyard with the pomegranate flower.

Xu Pozi watched the two of them go out of the courtyard, her face slowly sank, and she whispered to herself: "Every time my son goes to your house, he doesn't take anything, and when he comes, he doesn't know what to bring to honor the elderly, just thinking about his sister." ”

Xinghua walked down the street with pomegranate flowers, and said with concern: "Little sister, where do you live in the town?" There are men on the construction site, how inconvenient it is for you to live there with a female doll. ”

Pomegranate smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry!" I don't live on the construction site, the host family arranged a room for me in the inn, you can go and see it when you have time. ”

Xinghua was relieved and said happily: "Okay, when your brother-in-law is free, let's go together." ”

When she arrived at the mouth of the alley, Pomegranate Hua let Xinghua go back, and then went to find a rice shop by herself, preparing to buy some food for Qin Niangzi's mother and son first.

When I went to the rice shop, white rice was five cents a catty, brown rice was three cents, and white flour and white rice were the same price.

The pomegranate flower weighed five catties of white rice and brown rice each, and after thinking about it, he weighed ten catties of white flour.

Twenty catties of rice noodles are enough for their mother and son to eat for a while.

The shopkeeper of the rice shop saw that it was too difficult for a little girl to carry three bags of grain, so he brought a piece of rope to tie up two bags of five catties and put them on the shoulders of pomegranate flowers like a blanket.

Pomegranate thanked the shopkeeper, carrying ten catties of white noodles, hanging two bags of rice on his shoulders out of the rice shop, to the street felt that the rice bag was not strong one after the other, so he moved the bag behind to the front.

Holding one in his hand, there were two rice bags dangling in front of him, causing many passers-by to snicker.

Just laugh and laugh!

Thinking indifferently, she saw a pharmacy called Huichun Hall on the street, so she went in and asked the doctor for the price of the visit.

Huichun Hall is a small pharmacy, and there is only one old man sitting in the clinic and two errand boys. The consultation fee is not expensive, only ten wen is needed in the town, and the money for prescribing and grabbing medicine is calculated separately.

After pomegranate flowers bought rice and noodles, Xinghua only had a few dozen yuan left in the money, and she could only afford to pay for the consultation.

She was thinking about asking Lang Zhong to go over to take a look at Qin Niangzi's condition, and then plan for the follow-up treatment, and wait for Lang Zhong to take a look.

The old man was still kind, and when he heard that he was going to go to the clinic, he instructed the two of his buddies and apprentices to guard the medicine shop, and left with the medicine box and the pomegranate flowers.

On the way, the old man saw that the pomegranate flower came out alone to buy so much food, and felt that it was not easy for the little girl, so he asked with concern: "Little girl, who in the family is sick?" ”

Pomegranate Hua felt the kindness of Lao Langzhong, and replied with a smile: "Grandpa Langzhong, it is not my family who is sick, but an aunt I only met this morning. ”

"The people I just know help to ask for a doctor, the girl's heart is really kind." The old man praised the pomegranate flowers.

Pomegranate smiled and didn't say anything.

An old man and a young man continued to hurry, the old man was still sharp in his legs and feet, and the pomegranate flower was carrying three bags of grain, and he was not as fast as him.

Lao Langzhong was not in a hurry, and walked slowly with the pomegranate flowers.

When he arrived at Qin Niangzi's house, Chen Liangan was sitting in the courtyard in a daze, and heard someone outside the courtyard calling him to open the door, ran over to open the door, and saw that it was a pomegranate flower, and said happily: "Sister, you are here, my mother was still saying that you are a good person just now, let me repay you well when I grow up." ”

Pomegranate Hua walked so far with the noodle bag, her arm was so sore that she couldn't bother to be polite to Chen Liangan at the moment, and asked, "What about your mother, are you asleep?" I asked Lang Zhong to come and see her. ”

"My mother is in the house, and she was still awake just now." Chen Liangan saw the old man with the medicine box behind the pomegranate flower, and hurriedly stepped aside.

Pomegranate led Lao Langzhong straight to see Qin Niangzi, Chen Liangan closed the courtyard door and followed in.

Qin Niangzi closed her eyes on the bed to recuperate, and when she heard the sound, she opened her eyes, and she was so excited that she wanted to get up again.

"Auntie, don't get up." Pomegranate hurriedly put three bags of rice noodles on the table and went over to stop Qin Niangzi.

Lao Langzhong has been practicing medicine for many years, and he can't help but shake his head secretly when he looks at Qin Niangzi's face from a distance.

"Auntie, I asked a doctor to come and treat you." Pomegranate sat on the edge of the bed and said to Qin Niangzi.

Qin Niangzi was not only grateful but also grateful at the moment, looking at the pomegranate flowers with tears in her eyes, she had a thousand words in her heart but didn't know where to start.

is not a parent, but an ignorant life, how many people in the world can do this?

Lao Langzhong opened the medicine box and took out the supplies for the consultation.

When Chen Liangan saw it, he hurriedly moved a stool and put it in front of the bed.

The old man nodded approvingly, sat down and prepared to check Qin Niangzi's pulse.

Liuhua knew that the Chinese medicine doctor needed to concentrate and meditate, and it was not appropriate for too many people to be present, so she said to Chen Liangan: "Liang'an, my sister bought some rice noodles, let's take them to the stove room and put them up!" ”

"Are these all rice noodles?" Chen Liangan looked at the three pockets on the table, a little incredulous, the family had never bought such food at one time.

"Yes!" Pomegranate patted his cheeks lightly and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's not disturb Lang Zhong here to diagnose your mother." ”

"Hmm," Chen Liangan nodded heavily, very happy.

Lao Langzhong waited for Pomegranate Flower and Chen Liang'an to come out of the house, put his fingers on Qin Niangzi's wrist, and asked casually: "That girl and you only met today?" ”

Qin Niangzi nodded and said, "That's true." ”

"Oh." Lao Langzhong didn't say much, and concentrated on diagnosing Qin Niangzi's pulse.

In the stove room, Pomegranate Hua poured white rice into the rice jar, then put the mouth of brown rice and white flour into it, and then covered it with a lid to save it from being eaten by rats.

Chen Liangan looked at the rice bowl, imagined the appearance of white rice, and swallowed his saliva.

He and his mother haven't eaten enough for a long time, and there are still two steamed buns left in the morning, and he keeps them to prepare to eat with his mother in the evening. But after eating, I don't know what to do tomorrow.

Now that he has so much rice and grain, he and his mother don't have to worry about going hungry for a long time, and his sister also invited Lang Zhong to treat his mother.

He felt that everything was so beautiful all of a sudden.

Pomegranate Hua's eyes turned around in the stove room, but she didn't find any trace of vegetables, frowned, and asked Chen Liang'an: "What about the vegetables, the rice and noodles are available, but what do you use for dinner?" ”

"Here." Chen Liangan took a wooden stool and put it in front of the cabinet, stepped on it, opened the cabinet door, and took out a small clay pot from it.

Pomegranate took the clay pot and opened it to see that it was something like noodle sauce, and when she got it to her nose and smelled it, it was the smell of wheat sauce.

"This is the wheat sauce made by my mother, and when we can't afford to buy vegetables and can't dig wild vegetables, we use this to eat." Chen Liangan explained.

Pomegranate Hua was silent after hearing this, and the life in Taojia Village was also hard, but the food was enough to eat, and there was never a shortage of various seasonal vegetables, compared with Chen Liangan's life, it was already too happy.

When he came to Qin Niangzi's room, Lao Langzhong had already finished diagnosing his pulse.

Qin Niangzi asked about her condition, and Lao Langzhong only said that it was caused by overwork and long-term hunger, and she needed to recuperate.

Liuhua didn't believe it, and after paying the consultation fee, she gave the rest of the money to Chen Liangan, and told him to go buy some food and come back tomorrow, and then leave with Lao Langzhong.

Walking in the alley, he began to ask Qin Niangzi about her condition.

Lao Langzhong shook his head and sighed, and said after a long time: "Girl, I know that you are kind-hearted, but you can't afford to take care of this matter." ”

Pomegranate asked for details.

Lao Langzhong said: "I have practiced medicine for decades, and I dare not call myself a master of Xinglin in my medical skills, but I have never misdiagnosed." That lady suffers from a serious heart disease, and the best time for treatment has passed, and no matter how much she continues to treat it, she will only continue to live, and she will not be able to recover completely. ”

Pomegranate asked again: "How long can Qin Niangzi live at most?" ”

Lao Langzhong replied truthfully: "Insist on taking medicine, take good care of your diet, relax your body and mind, and maybe you can live for three or five years; If you don't use medicine, your days are running out. ”

"Medicine is expensive, isn't it?"

Lao Langzhong nodded, "This is an ancient prescription, and the two flavors of medicinal materials are not my pharmacy, even the largest Renji pharmacy in the town may not be available, and the price is not affordable by ordinary people, so I persuaded the girl not to worry about this matter." ”

"Unless I haven't met it, since I did, I can't see death without help." Pomegranate shook her head and smiled bitterly, and then said firmly: "Please ask Grandpa Lang Zhong to go back and open the prescription, and I will go to your pharmacy to get the prescription tomorrow." ”

Lao Langzhong sighed and said, "That's it, you can still do it for a person you don't know at such a young age, why should I be stingy with a prescription, Ming'er, you just have to come and get the prescription." ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Langzhong." The pomegranate bowed deeply.

The old man took a step sideways, did not accept the courtesy, and said solemnly: "It is the duty of a doctor to help the world and save people, and the girl's kind heart is rare in the world, I can't afford your great gift." ”

"Grandpa Lang Zhong is serious." Pomegranate smiled.

"I'm telling the truth." The old man looked at the pomegranate flowers, and the little girl in front of him was full of eyes and a childish face, but it gave people an unfathomable feeling like the sea.
