Chapter 276: Laying Trouble
"Soak that, ahem, what the hell are you doing? Ahem, there is brown sugar, ahem, ahem, it should, ahem, ahem, ahem, keep it for you and Niuniu, ahem, ahem, ahem, old woman, ahem, want that thing, ahem, what are you doing? β
Grandma Wang looked disapproving, she looked at the enamel jar placed on the cabinet, and felt indescribably distressed, so dignified, what kind of brown sugar water to make for her, it is best to drink some brown sugar water when her stomach is uncomfortable, what a waste of things.
"Grandma, what you said, this thing is bought for our family to eat, who to eat is not eaten, as long as it works, even if that packet of brown sugar is given to you to drink, I am willing."
Amy patted her on the back while trying to convince Grandma Wang, but what has been formed over decades can be changed in three or two sentences. I saw the old man pat the back of her hand and cough twice:
"Mi, cough cough, you listen to grandma, cough cough, wait a minute, you drink all the cough cough, brown sugar water, cough cough, I cough cough like this, I am old, drink such a precious thing, cough cough, it's a waste."
"Grandmaβ"
Amy reluctantly lengthened her voice, trying to continue to persuade her, but a sudden knock on the door forced her to get up and go to the yard to open the door.
As soon as she opened the deadbolt, Ming Ke, who had cleaned up neatly, stood in front of her, and wanted to say hello, but the other party looked a little unhappy.
She stretched out her hand, poked the man's sleeve, and asked in a low voice:
"What's wrong?"
Ming Ke sighed: "It's nothing, it's just that you have to go to the town by yourself today, Zhou Yize is very busy today and has no time to ask for leave, and I have to stay and take care of Grandma Wang." β
"Hey, what's the matter!" Amy didn't care, stretched out her hand and patted him on the shoulder, "I thought something big had happened, you scared me to death." It's not like I don't recognize the hospital in the town. β
Listening to her words, Ming Ke really didn't know whether to cry or laugh, because he didn't fall asleep last night, he was worried that she would encounter all kinds of difficulties when she entered the city alone, but she didn't expect people to care at all.
Entering the house, Amy talked to Grandma Wang, and told Ming Ke some things, of course, the most important thing was to look at Grandma Wang and Brown Sugar Water, and after speaking, she hurriedly carried her bag to drive Uncle Li's ox cart.
When she arrived in town, Amy first went to the hospital to register a number, or the female doctor who saw her that time, and when she saw her, the doctor was a little surprised:
"Why are you again? Didn't you just bandage it a few days ago? Are you going up the mountain again? Why didn't your boyfriend come with him this time, it couldn't be a serious injury! β
Listening to the words asked by the female doctor, Amy seemed to see the gossiping women in the village, and three black lines immediately slid down her head.
She really wanted to grab the female doctor's shoulders with both hands and tell her that she was a doctor who saved lives, so don't gossip like that, okay?
No matter how much Amy's inner dragon roared, she still kept the smile on her face when she walked through the door. Politely replied to the doctor:
"You misunderstood, my boyfriend didn't come because he had something to do today, and I didn't go up the mountain, but I had a conflict with a sister-in-law in the village yesterday, she hit my wound with a cane, and I bled a lot, and I don't know if the wound was open, so I came to you today to let you take a look."
Speaking of business, the female doctor immediately put away the gossip just now, and asked Amy some questions while carefully undressing the wound.
Amy answered the doctor's question truthfully, and at this time, the gauze was just untied, and the female doctor frowned slightly when she saw her wound that was still oozing blood.
After careful examination, he told her that the wound was split in some places, and some of the two pieces of flesh were out of place, and in short, the sutures needed to be drawn and re-sutured.
Amy thought of the painful experience of making an ox cart last time and couldn't help but regret not bringing Minco with her.
After dressing the wound in the hospital, Amy walked in the direction of Uncle Li's ox cart with a sad face.
When she was not far from the ox cart, she saw a small alley with no people, hesitated for a long time, and decided to go inside.
Walking into the alley, she looked left and right, and didn't see anyone, so she went into the supermarket, and recently she was with Grandma Wang every day, and she hadn't been in for a long time. At first glance, when I saw the things on the shelves, I actually felt the joy of reunion after a long absence.
Not daring to delay too long, she began to take what she wanted from the shelves: first thirty catties of coarse grain, twenty catties of fine grain, a piece of soap, two towels, three kraft papers, and two boxes of alabaster. A packet of brown sugar, three or five pieces of fruit candy that is about the same as this era,
She first put all these small items into the satchel on her body, carried the two bags of food with one hand, and walked out of the space by herself, and then moved the food out with her mind.
"Whew" Amy exhaled and moved the things forward with all her strength, and since the two bags were so heavy, she had to take a breath. Fortunately, Uncle Li, who was idle and bored sitting on the ox cart, saw her and helped her, otherwise, she would have to go until dark today.
After another half an hour, the numbing on Amy's arm slowly passed, and there was a hot pain in her arm, although she was mentally prepared, but at the beginning, she almost fainted in pain.
Slowly, a few aunts who were riding in an ox cart came up, she subconsciously moved the satchel in her hand to the side, and put the two bags of grain under her feet to her side, to ensure that she would not be caught by those women who love to take advantage, and then closed her eyes with confidence.
But there will always be some strange people in this world, and they won't let you go because you don't say anything.
"Yo, Comrade Amy, buy so many things again, Mrs. Wang is really lucky, she killed her son and daughter-in-law, and ran out of Amy who took everything home."
Sitting next to Amy, a tall, thin woman with two braided braids glanced at Amy with her spare eyes, and continued:
"Alas, I don't have such a good life, the rice jar at home is about to bottom, and no one has sent a few catties of brown rice."
After speaking, as if thinking of something, he stretched out his hand and pushed Amy, who was leaning on the ox cart with his eyes closed because of his arm pain:
"Comrade Amy, I see that you have bought a lot of food, and you can't eat it with only three people in your family, otherwise you will borrow a few catties from us. Don't worry, I'll pay you back when the food comes. β
With that, she bent down alone to reach the sack of grain at Amy's feet.
Although the remaining women in the car did not speak, they all watched the movements of the tall and thin woman with bated breath, thinking that if the other party borrowed successfully, they would also borrow a few catties.
Although it sounds like "borrowing", however, who doesn't know who this thing is in the hands of, it is who's, no matter how much you "borrow" you, it's basically like a waste, and there is no possibility of paying it back.
Amy also knew about this, so before the aunt could touch the grain bag, she stepped on it with her foot.
"What do you mean? Didn't you just promise me to lend me grain? Why don't you talk anymore now? β
The food in her hand was blocked in her pocket, and the woman was angry in her heart, she raised her head, her eyes were like copper bells, her hands were crossed on her waist, and her face was "If you don't give it to me today, I won't be able to get along with you".
Amy's hand was already in terrible pain, but now that the woman was making noise in her ear, she became more and more upset, and moved her body uncomfortably, and her tone was full of weakness:
"When did I promise to lend you food, but I didn't speak just now."
Several women in the ox cart looked at her while laughing, covering their mouths.
The tall and thin woman glared at Amy fiercely, seeing that she was so young, she didn't take her to heart, lowered her head and hit Amy's ankle with her hand, and said confidently:
"When I asked you just now, you didn't answer me, so I acquiesced, so you should lend me food now."
Amy didn't expect that she had encountered a cheeky face again today, and while she was bored, the strength under her feet became heavier and heavier:
"Okay, since I didn't make it clear just now, I'll tell you seriously now, I plan to keep this grain for myself to eat, and I won't borrow it, do you understand?"
It may be that the pain is too bad, Amy's tone is not very good, she was touched by this half-grown child, the woman's face is not to mention how ugly it is, she originally wanted to make trouble unreasonably, but looking at the people who covered their mouths and laughed, they didn't have that courage.
She raised her head and glared straight at Amy, "Hmph, if you don't give it, we don't want it, who knows if you will add something unsightly here, you readers, you don't know what to think about day by day."
I heard about yesterday's incident, the daughter-in-law of the Chen family just lightly hit you with a cane, and as a result, you opened your mouth and asked people for five yuan, do you know that the five yuan is the cost of other people's families for a year, I really don't know how you educated youths are so thick-skinned......
After such a long time, the pain in Amy's arm not only did not subside, but intensified, so the accusation in her ear was ignored as if it were a fly.
Anyway, she just needs to know that her things don't go into the hands of others.
When the woman saw that she did not speak, she went on to speak more and more, and talked all the way, until at last not only was her own mouth dry, but the others were also very bored.
The woman sitting across from her watched her all the way, and finally couldn't help but remind her:
"I said the daughter-in-law of the Feng family, don't talk about it, I think this little comrade seems to be very uncomfortable, I guess I can't hear what you're talking about at this time, you still have to leave some spit, and tell your mouth at night!"
