The days passed quite quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the shops to open again. During the ten days of rest, except for a trip on the first day of the new year, Zhangzhu rested at home, and even the Agarwood Garden rarely came out, let alone went out to eat New Year's wine with the Du family's daughters, and Zhangzhu didn't want to deal with it at all.

After so many days of closure, there were many patients on the first day of opening. The Chinese New Year does not affect these people to see a doctor and take medicine.

Zhangzhu was naturally very busy, and he didn't even have time to drink water, and when he came back to his senses, his belly was already growling with hunger.

Ah Dong brought the food, but he went to buy a set of rice from the hoof flower shop next door. Finally able to sit down and eat a mouthful of hot soup, Zhangzhu did not care about eating fragrant and gulping of food, gulping down soup, and a set of meals quickly bottomed out.

"Miss Dong is going to visit the doctor in a while, right?"

"Yes, I'm going to Mei's house. It may be a little late to come back, so you can leave someone to watch the door. ”

Ah Dong packed the medicine box for her, and Zhangzhu was about to leave, but saw Yun Zhao coming over.

"You're in a hurry to get out?"

"Yes, a trip out of town."

Yun Zhao heard that and hurriedly asked, "You wrote that notice outside?" ”

"I'll ask the bookkeeper to help write it."

Zhangzhu carried the medicine box and went out, Yun Zhao said: "Recruit a doctor now?" Why don't you do it yourself? ”

"No matter how much I do it myself, my energy is limited, so I can find a doctor to reduce the burden of the medical center." Zhangzhu She has her own plans, but she doesn't dare to tell Yun Zhao in detail about what her plans are.

"I can think it's okay, otherwise the old man will be whispering in my ear all day long, saying that I have treated you badly and made you tired, and my ears will have already grinded out calluses."

Zhangzhu had already gotten into the carriage, Yun Zhao straightened his clothes and said with a smile: "My sister has a safe journey, I have to rush to meet people here." ”

"Is it a bar with your eldest brother?"

Yun Zhao smiled: "I can't hide it from you, if you want to go out of the city, remember to come back early." ”

Zhangzhu nodded and agreed, and the moon that drove the car had been replaced by Runsheng, who only entered the house last year, and now he is dedicated to driving for Zhangzhu.

In the New Year, the rows of red lanterns picked out in the market look very festive.

Runsheng is fourteen years old this year, and he is in the period of voice change, and his voice sounds a little rough, and he is a talkative person.

"Does Miss Fu know about our Shoufeng's light market?"

Zhangzhu asked suspiciously: "What kind of lamp market, I haven't heard anyone mention it yet." ”

"It is the fifteenth day of the first month of every year, there are all kinds of lamps in the two long streets of Zhonglou Street and Gulou Street, which is the grand event of Shoufeng, which is very lively. Just when we passed by the Drum Tower, we began to build shelves, and this year's momentum will not be small at all. ”

In the past, the Lantern Festival in the capital was also very lively, and the brothers and sisters of their Xie family would always meet together to go out to enjoy the lanterns and tour the lake. The grandeur of the past is still vivid.

"The men, women and children of Shoufeng will join in the fun on this day, and I heard that every day when they sweep the street, they will sweep out a lot of shoes."

"Why is this?"

Yan Sheng smiled: "Of course it's squeezed out, there are too many people this day." In a few days, the girl will be able to learn what it means to be lively. ”

Zhangzhu listened in a daze, but she didn't want to join in the fun.

"Who else is in your family?"

The leap student inevitably replied: "I am an orphan, I lost my parents when I was six years old, and I grew up eating hundreds of family meals." There is a cousin in the next room, but he doesn't care about me, fortunately, he has grown so big, and now he is good at eating, and he can't starve himself. ”

When Zhangzhu heard this, he said: "It's not easy for you, you have suffered a lot if you want to come to the past, but fortunately you didn't go astray." ”

Runsheng is a little guy personally selected by Zhangzhu, and she thought that this little guy was smart and well-behaved, and it was a lot easier to be with smart people.

The car slowly left the city gate and headed south. This is the second time she has come to the Mei family, who lives in Liuxi, and there is an eighty-year-old grandmother in their family, who is her patient. The Mei family is an ordinary farmer, the family does not have their own land, is a tenant, but has raised a lot of chickens and ducks, she still remembers that the Mei family raised a few sheep, and said that they would send a sheep to Zhangzhu a year ago, and Zhangzhu knew that the Mei family was also difficult, so he was embarrassed to ask.

After a long drive, he finally arrived at Mei's house, and Runsheng jumped out of the car to help call the door. Zhangzhu himself carried the medicine box and came down, and soon thought that the peasant woman had come to open the fence door, and saw that it was Zhangzhu and was surprised and delighted: "Why did Doctor Fu come?" ”

"I haven't heard from you in a few days, so come and have a look."

Zhangzhu noticed that the fence of Mei's house was already covered with a lot of small yellow flowers, and the spring flowers had already bloomed.

The peasant woman is the daughter-in-law of the old grandmother, and Zhangzhu will affectionately call her Aunt Mei.

Aunt Mei invited Zhangzhu into the house, and the old grandmother lived in the innermost room.

The thatched huts in the countryside are made of stone, and there is not even a window in the wall, but it is lit by a small hole in the wall, so the house is very dark even during the day.

The old grandmother was lying on the clay kang, and there was a bad smell in the room. This smell didn't let the palm beads cover her nose, she walked straight to the kang, bent down and shouted: "Grandma! ”

The old grandmother was so old and faint that she couldn't tell the people in front of her from her, until her daughter-in-law lit an oil lamp and came to her and said, "It's Dr. Fu who has come to see you." ”

The old grandmother then understood, she stretched out a hand from the futon, the hand has been trembling, the palm beads hurriedly held, the old man was lying on the kang and covered with the futon, but this hand is still a little cold. She took the pulse again and asked about the latest situation.

"How did you get your appetite when you came in, and you were still dizzy?"

The old grandmother's ears were not very bright, and her reaction was slow, so Aunt Mei replied for her one by one: "I can barely eat half a bowl of each meal, and I ate dumplings on the 30th, and she was happy to eat ten in a row, hot mutton dumplings, and mixed with a lot of tender shallots, but she was sad all night long." I only ate one bowl of porridge on the first day of junior high school, and it was not until the second year of junior high school that I gradually returned to my previous meal. The spirit is good and bad. ”

"The old man is like this when he is old, and his health is not behind, and one day at a time is counted as a day. Try to cook her something she likes to eat, but only if it's easy to restrain herself. Another thing is to talk to her more, so that she is in a better mood, and when she is in a good mood, she will naturally be in a stronger spirit. The most important thing in taking care of the elderly is to be careful. ”

Aunt Mei also had a bitter saying when she heard these words: "My father-in-law has been dead for more than 20 years, and my son and grandson are fighting in the army. The chickens, ducks, and sheep at home are to be fed. The crops of the field must be made as well. At home, my daughter-in-law and me, plus I have to take care of the elderly, where can I be busy. This time is better, and as soon as the spring farming work comes out, it can only be said that it can guarantee that she will not be hungry, and nothing else can really be done. ”

Zhangzhu has also been in contact with these lowest-level people before, and she has also seen how difficult the people at the bottom are. She had no choice but to say again: "When people are old, they look forward to having someone to talk to, and it's enough for you not to annoy her." ”

She took out the medicine she had prepared, and in the end, not only did she not have the Mei family's medicine money, but she also took out a string of copper coins to improve their lives.
