Chapter 12: The Gu Family
Shen Xiaoyu didn't get into the car, the old woman didn't get into the car no matter what she said, and she didn't let go of her hands, Jiao Shi looked at it and said: "You get in the car, our family is a Datong pharmacy, not a bad person, you just get in the car first, or my mother-in-law won't leave, where can this body stand it?" ”
Shen Xiaoyu was very surprised when she heard that it was a Chase Pharmacy, when she used to catch medicine for her mother, she also went to Chase Pharmacy, there were several branches in the city, and the owner seemed to be surnamed Gu.
"Let's go." As she spoke, the woman asked Shen Xiaoyu to get into the car as well.
Shen Xiaoyu got into the car, she always went to the Datong pharmacy, she recognized these words, and there were a few pieces of yellow paper in the carriage that the pharmacy packed with medicinal materials, and she felt somewhat stable.
The carriage stopped after walking for a while, and the mother-in-law pulled Shen Xiaoyu out of the car and entered the door, and then ran to her yard.
"Mother, do you understand or are you confused?" Jiao whispered.
"Let people prepare hot water, wash it for the mother first, and drive away the cold!" Gu Cheng said unhappily, with an unhappy face.
Jiao Shi hurriedly nodded: "Let's go, let's go!" "Then I hurried to do it.
Gu Cheng was anxious, he was Lang Zhong, and he had to take a good look at his mother in a while, except for the injuries on his head and hands, there were any other injuries.
Granny Gu pulled Shen Xiaoyu into the house, and then took out the pastries for Shen Xiaoyu to eat them. Shen Xiaoyu looked at the pastries that were crystal clear like flowers, he had never eaten such a snack, and his saliva was also direct.
Granny Gu smiled and asked Shen Xiaoyu to eat, took one and went to Shen Xiaoyu, Shen Xiaoyu took a bite, and Granny Gu smiled.
The maid came in and poured hot water, Shen Xiaoyu waited outside, and after Granny Gu washed it inside, Gu Cheng took a look at the injury, but fortunately, it was just some skin trauma, and after applying medicine and drinking some soothing decoction, the mother-in-law lay down and slept for a while.
"Little girl, thank you today, we also got a letter, saying that a little girl asked from house to house to find out my mother's whereabouts, you have done a good deed, we will definitely repay you." Gu Cheng called Shen Xiaoyu over to speak.
Shen Xiaoyu didn't think there was anything at first, but when he saw the maid standing next to Jiao's, he didn't think he was in one place, and the maids of big families didn't treat the poor as people, so he said with a blank face: "Don't you dare, I know that someone is helping your old lady find her family from house to house, and your maid still comes up and pushes me, pushing me all, and this is all broken!" As he spoke, he pointed to his knees with a pitiful look.
As soon as Shen Xiaoyu's words came out, Gu Cheng was at a loss, and looked at Jiao's face, which was not good-looking.
At this time, the unkind maid just now hurriedly came out and said to Shen Xiaoyu: "I didn't mean it just now, sister, don't hate me, I'll compensate you!" "It seems to be a different person than before, and his face is anxious.
Shen Xiaoyu pursed her lips, this girl is really snobbish, she knows how to apologize at this time, but she was very fierce just now.
Seeing that Shen Xiaoyu didn't nod, the maid was in a hurry, and as soon as she turned around, she knelt down, which scared Shen Xiaoyu!
Shen Xiaoyu pondered that although their Sihe Village was so poor that they kneeled, they didn't kneel down at every turn.
"The old lady spared the slave and maid, and the slave and maid also saw that the lady was said ugly things by this little girl, and she was not careful! Ask the old lady not to drive the slaves out of the house! ”
That Jiao Shi also looked ugly, and said: "Chunmei is also speaking for me, and pushing it is not intentional, so don't blame it too much." ”
Jiao's intercession, Gu Cheng's face was not good-looking, if it weren't for Jiao's negligence, his mother wouldn't be able to suffer this crime!
Shen Xiaoyu saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, I don't have anything to do, this sister protects the master, I don't blame her." "Although she is from a small family, she is not such a small-bellied person.
Hearing Shen Xiaoyu's intercession, Chunmei hurriedly turned around and thanked Shen Xiaoyu, it seemed that she was about to kowtow, Shen Xiaoyu hurriedly pulled a hand, she was so small, she also knew that she couldn't kowtow to people casually, and she couldn't kowtow to people casually. In such a year, there are disasters outside, if Chunmei really doesn't drive out of the house, maybe she will really starve to death. She's angry, and she doesn't want to really let people die!
"Okay, okay, let's get up, Chunmei's temperament is too flamboyant, and if you commit it again in the future, you will be dealt with heavily!" As soon as Gu Cheng's words came out, Chunmei was very happy, as long as she didn't get kicked out.
Jiao Shi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Shen Xiaoyu and said, "Where is your home, I'll let someone send you home." ”
"My family is in Sihe Village." Shen Xiaoyu said.
Gu Cheng prepared some things, some silver and medicinal herbs, and a ginseng plant as a thank you. Jiao Shi looked at the ginseng and was very distressed, and muttered in a low voice: "That ginseng is worth a lot of money......
Gu Cheng glared, Jiao didn't dare to speak again, although Shen Xiaoyu was also greedy for the ginseng, but still said: "When I help my mother-in-law, I didn't run for money, you just send me home, nothing else." ”
Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment and said, "These things are all good things. "I think Shen Xiaoyu is young and doesn't know the value of these things.
"I know, the medicinal herbs you sell are quite valuable, but you might as well send me home." Shen Xiaoyu said that she didn't ask for those things because she felt unsure.
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows, but he still asked people to send Shen Xiaoyu home first, and as for the things, he didn't give them first.
Chunmei and Shen Xiaoyu were both sitting in the car, pulling Shen Xiaoyu to thank him repeatedly, and Shen Xiaoyu also saw that Chunmei was scared. After getting out of the car, Father Shen happened to see it, and his heart suddenly came down, thinking that the Qin family was going to let Shen Xiaoyu go to Chongxi.
Shen Xiaoyu sent Chunmei away, and explained to Daddy Shen, and Daddy Shen was relieved.
"I'm hungry, let's eat in the first room, your aunt left you food, and I just asked you why you haven't come back." Father Shen said, looking worried.
Cui Fenglan listened to the movement and hurriedly went to the stove to get rice, under the curtain was fish soup, and the corn tortillas on the top, Shen Xiaoyu drooled when he saw it.
"Auntie, why are you so good at cooking?" Shen Xiaoyu said that the same ingredients must be delicious when placed in Cui Fenglan, and the craftsmanship of any daughter-in-law is better.
Cui Fenglan smiled: "At the beginning, my mother's family passed down the craft, and I learned to do something." ”
Shen Xiaoyu nodded, thinking that it was no wonder that the old lady of the Dong family died and her son would not let her daughter-in-law return home, if it weren't for the lack of food, it was estimated that she would be reluctant to let Cui Fenglan go.
After eating, Shen Xiaoyu took a stick and practiced calligraphy in the house. Father Shen was chopping wood and carrying water in the yard, while Cui Fenglan sewed and mended the old clothes, and the old clothes left by Xiaoyu Niang were also changed for Shen Xiaoyu, and the child couldn't be just like that.
Shen Xiaoyu practiced calligraphy for a while, so she proudly asked Cui Fenglan to test her, Cui Fenglan took a round of the test and found that everything was right, so she continued to teach with confidence.
Shen Xiaoyu dismantled the old clothes, the previous jacket was small, and the cotton inside was taken out and washed and re-played, and the cloth surface was cut out and kept to make uppers.
The old lady of the Gu family on the other side woke up, her son and daughter-in-law were guarding the window, the old lady of the Gu family thought about it and said, "What about the child?" ”
As soon as Jiao saw that his mother-in-law was conscious, he said, "Mother-in-law, you didn't."
What's wrong? ”
Old Lady Gu looked at Jiao's, then glared, and asked again, "Where is that child?" ”
"Which one? That little beggar? As soon as Jiao's words came out, Mrs. Gu scolded: "I still call people beggars, don't think that I was delirious when I was sick, I remember it in my heart!" After saying that, he lifted the quilt and went to the ground.
Jiao hurriedly asked Chunmei to call the master, she took the clothes and put them on, if she froze again, she would have to be suspended!
As soon as Master Gu came, he was just about to persuade him, but he was scolded by Mrs. Gu: "You have also read the books of sages, and the books have been read in the stomach of a dog?" That little girl is such a good person, she took your mother from house to house on a cold day, and you just got people away? ”
When Master Gu heard this, he explained: "I didn't take it away, our carriage sent it home, and our family also gave a lot of medicinal materials and silver taels, but the little girl didn't ask for anything!" ”
When Mrs. Gu heard that it was sent home by a carriage, her face softened, she put on her clothes and sat down, and said: "Our Gu family was originally a family of medical Taoists, but in your generation, the line was almost broken, if it weren't for my grandson's words, the foundation of the Gu family would be ruined in your hands!" "After my son ran a pharmacy, he just knew that he made money, and patients came to buy medicine, but he couldn't do it without money, and he couldn't do it if he had less money, and Gu Jiazu didn't have such a thing from above!
Master Gu lowered his head and behaved like a little chicken, thunder, rain and dew are all teachings of his mother, who dares not to listen?
"You study well, it's nothing if you don't take the official position, and it's nothing if you don't have those two brushes to help the world, but when you open this pharmacy, you get the smell of a businessman, and you only recognize money, but you don't recognize people! Let you have two free clinics a month, you are crooked, what's the matter, I'm a mother who talks like a fart? After Mrs. Gu finished speaking, she glanced at the Jiao family, the Jiao family's family is a businessman!
Jiao Shi lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound, and looked at her husband next to her, both of whom were very chicken cubs.
After Mrs. Gu finished scolding, she said: "Since it was sent by a carriage, I will go and give some more gifts, and I will speak politely, and tell me to come to the house to sit when I am free, and I will say that my mother-in-law asked her to come!" "She can't live in vain after living so many years.
"Yes!" Master Gu agreed, and then helped his mother to the bed.
When Mrs. Gu got into bed, she said, "My grandson has been away from home for so long, and you don't say that you are looking for someone to take a look!" After speaking, he said to Jiao's family: "You have to be a mother, you have to be more dedicated, the child has been away for so long, why don't you worry about it at all!" ”
"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows." Jiao's mouth said, how could she not want the son she gave birth to, and she also wanted her son to come back!
