Chapter 52: After the Frolic
In front of Lin Cheng and Aunt Chunhua to give Na Langzhong such a face, Mao was unhappy, but she was a country woman who had not seen much of the world, and she had a certain natural sense of awe for Langzhong, even though Langzhong gave her a look and stood on her own territory, she didn't dare to open her mouth to scold, for fear that Langzhong would be really angry and not give her a prescription.
Lin Cheng said good things for a long time, and his mouth was all dry, and Lang Zhong's face was a little better, still with a stinky face, squatting on the ground and opening a prescription, and handed it to Lin Qu.
Mao didn't dare to move forward, she took a few steps away and looked, she didn't know how to read, she couldn't understand what Lang Zhong wrote, she only felt that the words on the square seemed to be like a cricket in the ground, which was very different from the words she saw in her son's book.
After sending Lalangzhong away, Lin did give the recipe to Mao, saying that there was still work at home and he had no time to go to the town, so he asked Mao to go to the town to catch medicine for Jia. Mao's mouth was good, and as soon as Lin did leave with Aunt Chunhua, he stuffed the recipe into his sleeve and entered the hall.
Sister Qiu followed behind Mao, pestering her and asking, "Milk, when will we go to the town to catch medicine for my mother?" β
Mao turned his head and wanted to scold a few words, but he held back stiffly, pouted and said: "I have been busy at home for the past two days, and I will go after two days." Don't put this pestle aside, go back and see if your mother is a little better? β
Listening to Na Lang Zhong say that a pair of medicines will cost three or four hundred copper plates, I don't know if it is good to eat a few pairs of medicines, Mao's heart hurts like a knife stuck in the heart, how can I not be happy to pay this money, it must be that Lang Zhong is wrongly diagnosed, Jia's skin is rough and thick, you can be good by lying down for two days, what medicine to take, spend all your money in vain!
In the middle of the night, Jia's cough was terrible, and Sister Qiu's crying father and mother's screaming were even worse, and even all of them overwhelmed Jia's coughing sound, and no one in the noisy Mei family could sleep.
Second Aunt Mei beat the kang angrily, and pushed Second Uncle Mei desperately, asking him to go out and yell twice, "Is this still called making people sleep?" Sister Qiu's girl is crying a fart, is her mother dead or what? The sea of sick people go? What is she trying to do? Delicate! No matter how precious she is, and how expensive am I who is pregnant? I'm the seed of your old Mei family in my belly! β
"Okay, okay, I'll go talk to my sister-in-law!" Second Uncle Mei couldn't sit still, it was nothing more than a loss of face, so it was not good to go to the door of the widowed sister-in-law in the middle of the night.
Across the door of the east house, Second Uncle Mei crossed his waist and said, "Sister Qiu, what are you doing in the middle of the night!" β
Sister Qiu cried loudly: "Second uncle, my mother's illness is terrible! I beg you, go to town and give her a good man! β
"What are you crazy about?" Second Uncle Mei quenched, "Please have a ghost in the middle of the night!" Sister-in-law, you don't care, look at what has become of this dead girl! β
What replied to him was Jia's coughing and Sister Qiu's crying.
Mao's voice came from the hall, with sternness and impatience, "What's the noise?" Second, what are you doing when you get up? Hurry back to the house and go to bed! Wake up early tomorrow morning and make a vegetable field! β
Second Uncle Mei stomped his feet angrily, turned back to the dark East House, he didn't dare not listen to Mao's words, but he was reluctant in his heart, if Jia's body was good, he would still use him to work?
"The messenger of heaven beckons! All of them didn't have a break, yesterday I cut so much cauliflower, tired of my waist can't straighten up, early this morning to send me to the old man, tired to do cattle and horses, but also better than people do not work, even the mouth of the noodles can not eat all the mouth! Second Uncle Mei muttered a few words to the hall, and before Mao's voice was spoken, he hurriedly ran into the west room and closed the door.
I cried and screamed for most of the night with her voice raised, and Sister Qiu was so tired that she fell asleep with Jia's dizzy.
At noon the next day, Sister Qiu came to urge Mao's several times, asking Mao's to go to the town to catch medicine for Jia's, Mao's couldn't sit still after all, and asked the second child to set up a frame for cowpeas and cucumbers in the vegetable garden in the morning.
Relying on good thoughts, Jia's family did not give birth to a son, and there was nothing to dissatisfy Mao's, especially in work, people are diligent and honest, quick and good at work, hard-working, and all of them are good hands at home and abroad.
Jia's illness for two days, but Mao's heart is scorched, she doesn't say it on the surface, her heart is already anxious, Jia's let go, the second daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law rely on their own belly cubs, don't do anything, now cooking, washing clothes and whatever, she is all doing it, Mao's heart is full of anger, all of them are old people, granddaughters are all about to be promoted, she is still serving these children and grandchildren.
I want Jia's to get better and work quickly, but Mao's can't give up the medicine money, she remembers Langzhong's words clearly, people have said that a few pills may not be good if they take it, and they can't get better lying on the kang to raise it...... Mao's thought came and went, and his heart jumped in shock, if the eldest daughter-in-law was so sick, what should I do? After selling Sister Qiu, she couldn't deal with the Mei family's predicament.
At this time, Lin Zhun came over, and the young man who was long and handsome stood by the door of the east house and asked Sister Qiu: "Sister Qiu, how is the uncle and mother?" β
Sister Qiu shook her head and said loudly with a crying voice: "Brother Zhun, my mother hasn't taken medicine yet, how can she be fine?" β
Lin Zhun turned his face and glanced at Mao, looked at Mao with great disapproval, his tone was quite polite, and said, "Grandma Mei, why don't you catch medicine for your uncle?" This disease can't be delayed, and the more it drags on, the more serious it gets! β
Saying this to the neighbor's little boy, Mao's old face was a little unbearable, Lin Zhun is not her grandchild and granddaughter, she can be beaten and scolded at will, she can only preach vaguely: "I have been busy for the past two days, I didn't care about the ......" Speaking, Mao's eyeballs rolled on Lin Zhun's body, and said: "Da Zhun, our family has been busy working in the fields for the past two days, and I really can't leave, if you have nothing to do, help my grandmother run to the town, catch a few pairs of medicine and come back for your uncle and mother to eat." β
"Okay." Lin Zhun agreed very happily, "I'll go now." β
Mao's smile couldn't close her mouth, as she expected, Lin Zhun is a kind offspring, Xiaohe Town is all famous, which one mentions Lin Zhun all thumbs up.
Seeing that Lin Zhun turned his head and was about to leave, Sister Qiu hurriedly said, "Milk, you haven't given Brother Zhun any money for medicine!" β
Mao's angry eyelids twitched, and she glanced at Sister Qiu fiercely, this blind dead Nizi is like her mother, a stupid Arhat Kang confused!
Da Zhun, who was walking out, also stopped his steps, turned his face and glanced at Mao.
"This ...... If you don't have a lot of money, you can go get the medicine first. Mao waved his hand at Lin Zhun, and the folds on his face smiled into a blooming chrysanthemum, "When your Mei Ye comes back, I will ask him for the key to open the box and get you money." β
! Sister Qiu crooked her mouth, when did Mei Laosuo have the right to take charge of the key in the matter? Isn't all the money in the family's hands pinched in Mao's hands!
Lin Zhun smiled, glanced at Sister Qiu, quietly winked at her, turned his head and said to Mao: "The money is not in a hurry, I have enough." Grandma, I'll go first. Sister Qiu, you are so good to take care of your uncle and mother! β
Sister Qiu hurriedly "ehed", and said with gratitude: "I'm tired of Brother Zhun!" β
The gauze curtain in the west side room was opened, Mei Yindi changed into magenta flower cloth clothes, walked to Lin Zhun with a red face, and whispered: "Brother Zhun, I ...... I'll go to the town with you to get medicine for my aunt. β
Lin Zhun glanced at Mei Yindi in surprise, he was not a stupid person, and Aunt Chunhua had woken him up a few times, so he immediately shook his hand and said with a smile: "No need, it's not easy to walk on the road, I can go alone." β
Mei Yindi said "oh", her face was gloomy, and she stood there embarrassed, wanting to go but reluctant to go, and she didn't dare to say anything more.
Second Aunt Mei stood in front of the gauze curtain and looked at her daughter so uncompetitive, stomping her feet angrily.
After Lin Zhun left, Mao glanced at Mei Yindi, pulled Mei Yindi's ear forward and wanted to scold, thinking that Sister Qiu was still a little girl, and finally twisted Mei Yindi's ear hard, gritted her silver teeth and lowered her voice and said, "What do you want to do?" I can tell you, our Lao Mei family doesn't have shameless hooves! Go back to the house and stay! β
After scolding, Mao entered the hall, Mei Yindi covered her ears with tears, her eyes were red, she caught a glimpse of Sister Qiu still standing on the side, thinking that all of this was for Sister Qiu to see, she was embarrassed for a while, she glanced at her fiercely, and lost the sentence "You wait!" So he ran into the west side house crying.
Sister Qiu took a long time to ease up, what does this matter to her? Mei Yindi's ability to bully the soft and afraid of the hard has grown again, making people cry and laugh, Sister Qiu stuck out her tongue and made a grimace at Mei Yindi's back, and then ran to the small kitchen, and couldn't help laughing when she squatted in front of the rice stove, as if she had been in the body of this 10-year-old girl for a long time, and she had become naΓ―ve. What a comparison between her and a 13-year-old girl!
After a quarter of an hour, Sister Qiu ran to the small kitchen and pulled out the stones buried in the ashes of the rice stove, packed them and secretly transported them into the east room, stuffed them into Jia's nest, and urged Jia's to "perform".
Mao sat in the hall and knelt on the ground beating the cauliflower, listening to Jia's coughing sound in the east room, and his heart was gloomy, sad and angry.
After finishing the stones, Sister Qiu took a bundle of firewood and went to the small kitchen, and began to boil water, in fact, Jia's is indeed sick, but she is in good health, and the rain is only a little wind and cold, plus she has rested for the past two days, and she is slowly getting better, if it is not for this illness, Mao will never be kind enough to ask Jia's to rest, but I am afraid that it will be really sick until today.
