No. 312 It turned out to be an old acquaintance
Du Zhu of your uncle's family said a few days ago that he had a family, which is a good thing, but your aunt should not be, she is confused, she is afraid that your grandma will supplement your third uncle's milk baby, and it will be so hard that your grandfather will fight for the money of the family. People live with a face, trees live with a skin, and he was knocked down when he broke up, this time Zhou is so unfilial, doesn't this cost him his life! Yin sighed sadly.
"Then I'll go back." When Du Mei heard this, he didn't feel good in his heart. She knew that his grandfather was a person with an excellent face, and although face could save him for a short time, it would still hurt him in the end.
"Meizi, you are the female doctor passed down by Dr. Zhong, if you have time to show your grandfather, it will not be easy for him." Yin patted Du Mei on the shoulder and said earnestly.
"If they look for me, I'll go." Du Mei nodded.
Du Shicheng's limit has arrived, but it is just a matter of taking care of him for a few more days and making him angry for a few days, Du Mei is just a doctor, not a god, some things, whether you want to or not, will come as promised.
Du Mei lowered her head and walked out of the courtyard of Du Huaibing's house, thinking about her thoughts all the way, and slowly walked back.
"Buy herbs at a high price! Now known as Pay As You Go! The voice of a strange young man came from afar.
"Slow down, slow down, come one by one, we have a lot of money in the Rejuvenation Hall, don't squeeze it!" Another familiar man's voice was a little hoarse, as if he was shouting too much, and his tone was full of impatience.
"High price", "herbs", "rejuvenation hall", these sensitive words got into Du Mei's ears one by one, and she followed the sound to look over, only to see a group of people gathered on the threshing floor, mostly women and children from the village, and in the crowd stood two men dressed in cyan short dozen men.
Du Mei turned a corner, frowned and walked towards the threshing floor, this Huichun Hall is really good at prying business, knowing that Zhong Yu is busy seeing doctors every day, and in his spare time, he has to go to various villages to see patients who are seriously ill and cannot go out, and the guys in the medical hall are even more busy grabbing medicine and boiling medicine every day, and they are all idle.
In the spring and autumn of previous years, the villagers sent the dried medicinal materials to Yujitang to sell, and this year it was stirred up by the Huichun Hall, and the medicinal materials of Yujitang were afraid that it would be difficult to collect them all.
"Sister Da Niu, why did you sell him the medicinal herbs, Xiao Chun was saved by my Uncle Zhong Yu." In the crowd, Du Gui grabbed the big girl's bamboo basket and shook his head desperately.
He ...... Isn't he more expensive than Yu Jitang here, so he ...... So ......" the big girl blushed and stammered.
"But you're so ungrateful!" Du Gui is just an eight-year-old child, and she is in a hurry and does not choose what to say.
"Are you selling it? There are a lot of people waiting in the back. The tall man glanced at them and asked impatiently.
"Sell, sell, sell!" The big girl hurriedly responded and grabbed the bamboo basket in Du Gui's hand.
"You can't sell it!" Du Gui was like a calf, with red eyes and a strong temper.
"What ungrateful, what can't be sold, I sell my family, don't worry about you!" The big girl broke Du Gui's fingers hard, the two of them pulled, and the medicinal herbs in the bamboo basket were scattered all over the ground.
"Where did this dead girl come from, she doesn't sell medicinal herbs, she is also mischievous, looking for a fight!" The tall man raised his face in exasperation.
"My sister, give it a try!" Du Mei grabbed his raised arm.
"You ......" Du Mei's face was not good, and his momentum was very terrifying, and the tall man was stunned for a moment.
"You're a job at the Chunlai grocery store!" Being so close, Du Mei recognized the man in front of her at a glance, and this man was Xiao Pingzi, who had followed her.
"Heh, I said who is so arrogant, it's you, we can be regarded as old acquaintances, Du Ruren, you are really amazing, you caused me to eat in prison, but it's a pity, I can't do what you want, I still stand here in a good way, master!" Xiao Pingzi Hangerlang spat on the ground and said.
"On the boundary of Dujiagou, you can't be presumptuous! You'd better not be a traitor again, or I'll get caught and send you in again!" Dumay threw his arm away in disgust.
"Then it's up to you!" Xiao Pingzi was not afraid at all, but provoked.
"As the old saying goes, if you walk by the river, where will you not get your shoes wet? You'd better not be foolish! Dume warned sharply.
"Little Wu'er, pack up your things, let's go!" There was no point in staying any longer, and Xiao Pingzi didn't accept the medicinal herbs, and shouted at the thin young man who was keeping the account next to him.
Xiao Wu'er, Du Mei has heard of his "big name" for a long time, but she has never seen a real person, at this moment, she turned her eyes and stared at him. The young man in front of him was very thin, with a slender skeleton and a dull yellow complexion, like a victim who had fled and had no food. A pair of eyes were empty, and he was stared at by Du Mei, as if he had been stung by a bee, and his eyes were dark and wandering.
He is neither as burly and strong as Wang Fuquan, nor as strong and spicy as Ding, Du Mei suddenly felt that this little Wu'er was very pitiful, and his life must be difficult with such powerful parents.
Xiao Pingzi and Xiao Wu'er piled the collected medicinal herbs in the carriage and whipped away. Du Mei looked at the two people who left in a hurry, and thought to herself, Xiao Pingzi was originally a guy in the grocery store, and Xiao Wu'er was an apprentice in Qianzhuang, these two businesses are far from the medicinal herb shop, they came to the village to collect medicinal materials, and they almost didn't know anything, could it be that they came with the purpose of being more expensive than Yu Jitang?
The people around saw Du Mei coming, their faces were a little embarrassed, and they didn't dare to greet her, they knew her relationship with Yu Jitang very well, they didn't get her care on weekdays, but now they saw the money open, sold the medicinal materials to others, and was seen by her, which was really a bit faceless.
The herbs were collected and left in a hurry, and everyone quietly slipped away by smearing oil on the soles of their feet while Du Mei was thinking about it.
"It's all your fault, I didn't even sell it! When I go home, I will be scolded by my mother again! The big girl wiped her tears, pushed Du Gui in annoyance, and muttered in her mouth.
"Big sister!" Du Gui exclaimed, she was caught off guard by the big girl and stumbled under her feet, but fortunately she was hugged by Du Mei in time.
"Big girl, you are much more than Guizi, what is this doing! In the future, we will not care about what you like to sell! Du Mei put her arms around Du Gui and glared at the eldest girl, and the sisters turned to leave.
"Oh, plum, it's not like this......" The big girl stomped her feet in a hurry, she regretted dying, and by the time she remembered to explain, it was already too late.
"Guizi, you don't care about them in the future, let them sell to whomever they want. If I hadn't come back today, you'd have been beaten, how dangerous it is! Du Mei lowered her head and brushed the broken hair on Du Gui's forehead behind her ear, and said distressedly.
"The medicinal materials have all been taken away by the bad guys, is Uncle Zhong Yu's medical hall going to be opened?" Du Mei asked worriedly, wrinkling her little nose.
"Indeed, these people don't seem to be serious about collecting medicinal herbs, but they seem to be here to make trouble." Du Mei couldn't guess what these people were thinking, and his heart was upset.
"Sister, why don't we help Uncle Zhong Yu collect medicinal materials." Du Gui raised his face and said with big eyes.
"It's easy to collect, but we don't know the market of medicinal materials, what price to set, how much to collect, plus the quality of the identification, etc., although your sister is studying medical medicine, but she is not good at this." Du Mei rubbed the top of her little sister's hair and said softly.
"What then?" Du Gui frowned.
"Hurry up Ming'er, I'll go and ask Uncle Zhong Yu." Du Mei didn't have any good ideas for a while, but she had to tell Zhong Yu about the movement of the Rejuvenation Hall as soon as possible.
"Meizi, you're back, come on, come on!" Before the two sisters reached the courtyard of Du Shicheng, they were stopped by Du Huaibing, who came out of it.
"Guizi, you go home first." Du Mei patted Du Gui's back and whispered.
"Oh." Du Gui is very smart, she saw that Du Huaibing's face was full of anxiety, it must be that Grandpa is not in a good situation.
"Master!" Du Mei saw Du Gui walking alone in the direction of home, she greeted Du Huaibing and curtsied.
"At this very moment, don't be polite, come in and take a look at your grandpa, he hurts a lot." Du Huaibing said with a solemn expression.
Du Mei followed Du Huaibing into the back room, the room was silent, Wei probably went to the kitchen, the house that was originally very big in Du Mei's memory, this time it seemed very cramped, there was a small lamp on the table, the dim light will be sleeping on the bed Du Shicheng's face is like yellow paper, he is skinny and covered with a quilt, curled up like a prawn.
"Shicheng, Meizi is back, you can show her." Du Huaibing leaned in and said in a low voice.
"Hmm......" Du Shicheng let out a muffled snort of pain, counting as an answer.
He is used to being strong all his life, he does not fulfill people's wishes, he loses his son late, and the other two daughters-in-law are very unfilial, and the pain in his body is worse every day, like ten thousand ants devouring his heart, and he has already felt that his time is running out.
"Grandpa, you should take care of your own body, don't worry about it." Du Mei took the pulse, Du Shicheng was indeed as Zhong Yu said, there was no medicine and no cure, but she didn't dare to say it clearly, she was afraid that his belief would fall and he would die immediately.
"I only have a lot of pain in my body, but is there a way to relieve it?" Du Shicheng said in a low voice, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled on his forehead, and his cloudy eyes seemed to be invisible, unable to catch Du Mei's figure.
"Uncle Zhong Yu gave me a little medicine a few days ago, I'll bring it to you." Du Mei said as he gently put his skinny hand back into the quilt.
"Do you have anything to say about Dr. Zhong?" As soon as Du Mei walked out of the house, Du Huaibing came up and asked in a low voice.
"My uncle said that if you take good care of it, you can survive the Chinese New Year. But now......" Du Mei's eyes were hot, and she couldn't bear to continue, so she covered her mouth and walked home.
"Ahh Du Huaibing didn't expect that Du Shicheng was already hopeless, and when he heard it, he couldn't help but scream.
"What's wrong?" Wei came out of the kitchen, wiped his hands and asked.
"Let you boil some water, why is it so slow! I don't know what to grind! Du Huaibing glared at her angrily and scolded.
Wei Shi was scolded by him, but he didn't reply, and turned back to the kitchen in disgrace.
Since beating Du Mei and winning the reward, Du Shicheng is like a dead tree in spring, and he has come back to life, although he looks full of spirit, but the flesh and blood on his body seem to have been sucked dry by the ghost, and he is shriveled day by day. Others can't see that Wei is a pillow person, sharing a bed with him every day, and he knows it. As she gets older, she is more and more afraid of death, and she is afraid every day, only afraid that Du Shicheng will suddenly die at night.
Du Mei trotted all the way home and went straight to her house, Xu was cooking dinner in the kitchen, and just wanted to talk to her, when she saw her holding a small jar in her hand, and ran out in a hurry.
"What's wrong with your sister?" Xu asked Du Gui, who was burning the fire in the stove.
"Probably grandpa is not very good, when we came back, grandpa hurriedly called my sister to come." Du Gui added a handful of firewood to the stove, and the fire was shining in an instant, reflecting her little face red.
"Nothing will happen, will it?" Xu looked at the dark sky outside with some concern.
