Chapter 31: Real Gold is Precious

Although one tael or four dollars is also a sky-high price for a woman, it is much less than the previous ten taels and four taels.

She wiped her tears and took out a cloth bag from her bosom with trembling hands, which was full of copper plates and a few tiny pieces of silver. The woman pushed the pile of scattered copper plates and silver onto the counter, and her voice trembled a little: "Doctor, I, I just have this money, you can take a look, see if it is enough...... If it's not enough, I'll do your laundry and cook, and make cows and horses......" said and knelt down for the doctor.

The doctor couldn't bear to help the woman up, and sighed: "Hey, this lady, don't be like this, get up." I'm just a loner, and I don't have to do any laundry and cooking. ”

He touched his head a little embarrassed: "Forget it, look at these are almost the same, a few dollars of silver, just let me do a good deed every day." ”

The woman was overjoyed and thanked the doctor again and again.

The doctor turned around and took the medicine according to the prescription, and muttered to himself: "Geng Zijiang, you deserve to be unable to keep this family business, and you are so kind every day." Your father and your mother went early, and when the time came, they lost the family property and went underground to see how you explained to your father. ”

His muttering voice was very small, if Jiang Baoqing hadn't been following him to watch him dispense medicine, I was afraid that he wouldn't have heard it.

Although this doctor's medical skills are a little better, he seems to be a good person.

Jiang Baoqing glanced at the doctor and found that the doctor was actually not very old, probably less than twenty years old, and there was still a bit of heroism between his eyebrows and eyes. It's just that the clothes are very casual, and it's obviously the doctor and shopkeeper of this medicine hall, and he dresses like a guy who runs the hall.

The medicine was quickly grasped and subdivided into several packets. The doctor in front of him was babbling and explaining how the woman decocted the medicine and boiled the medicine, and the woman nodded again and again: "When my men are here, I often drink medicine, and I will boil medicine." ”

The doctor nodded and pointed to the medicine hall: "Where there is a decoction of medicine at the back, you go and fry a bowl for the child first." He instructed Jiang Baoqing again, "You go and get a basin of cold water and put a compress on the child's forehead to cool down." ”

This is also a commonly used cooling method, although the effect is not fast, but it is better than doing nothing.

Jiang Baoqing took the lead and picked up a few packets of medicine: "I'll go boil the medicine." I'm clumsy, it's better for my mother to take care of her. ”

The woman hesitated a little: "Baoqing, do you know how to boil medicine......"

Jiang Baoqing nodded: "I used to watch them survive at home, and I remember them all." ”

Thinking about Jiang Baoqing's help all the way, the woman paused, although she was still a little hesitant, she still made a decision: "Then trouble Baoqing, I'll fetch water for Feng'er." ”

"That's okay, sister-in-law of the Bai family, I'll go." Jiang Baoqing relieved the big burden he had been carrying, and walked to the place where the medicine was boiled behind him.

Doctor Geng Zijiang glanced at Jiang Baoqing's neat back, and couldn't help muttering: "This little girl looks like a little beggar, but she is quite capable." ”

Then he yawned and continued to lie on the counter, slouching, and fell asleep in a moment.

Jiang Baoqing carried the packets of medicine to the stove room at the back of the medicine hall, this is the place where the medicine is boiled, she looked left and right to see that there was no one, so she opened the packets of medicines, and while shaking her head, she picked out the herbs in it and threw them into the stove, the rest of the herbs are effective for high fever and yellow sweat, and will not cause too much burden to Xiao Feng'er's weak body.

When she was ready, she arranged the rest of the pills again, trying to make them look about the same size as the packet before.

However, about half of the medicinal herbs were removed, and the remaining herbs looked smaller than the previous ones.

Jiang Baoqing sighed, and that was the only way.

When the furnace was fired, all the excess herbs were burned to ashes.

When Jiang Baoqing returned to the medicine hall with the boiled medicine, Xiao Feng'er who was lying on the diagnosis and treatment bed had already woken up, with a wet sweat towel on her head, and her little face was a little red lying in the woman's arms, looking unrefreshed.

Jiang Baoqing sat next to him, and fed Xiao Feng'er carefully one spoonful after another.

The medicine is very bitter, but Xiao Feng'er doesn't even have the strength to struggle and cry, but a small face will cry without crying, which makes people feel very distressed.

The woman's eyes were a little red, and she was a little incoherent: "Baoqing, I really don't know how to thank you." If it weren't for you, I would, I would ......"

Jiang Baoqing didn't care and said: "It's nothing, sister-in-law of the Bai family, we are all from the same village, and we should help each other." ”

The woman hurriedly said: "Baoqing, after such an experience, you can just call me Sister Ruihua, and then call the sister-in-law of the Bai family too foreign." She was picked up by herself, and she was the child daughter-in-law of the Bai family, and she was surnamed Bai with the Bai family, and she was named Ruihua. But few people have always called her name, always calling her Bai family, Bai family.

Jiang Baoqing is as good as flowing: "Sister Ruihua." ”

Bai Ruihua nodded with red eyes.

When it was almost time to reach Shen in the afternoon, Xiao Feng'er's face was much better, and she looked a little less, and began to shout softly, "Mother, I'm hungry".

Bai Ruihua coaxed Xiao Feng'er a little embarrassed: "Let's go home, and go home and my mother will make you a paste to eat." ”

Xiao Feng'er flattened her small mouth and wanted to cry. But this child is really too sensible, and although he is hungry and uncomfortable, he only cries slightly.

The more sensible the child, the more painful it is, the doctor Geng Zijiang couldn't stand it, pulled it a few times from under the counter, pulled out half a bag of pastries, and stuffed it into Bai Ruihua's arms: "Take it and give it to the child." ”

Bai Ruihua was a little frightened, and wanted to kneel down for Geng Zijiang while holding the child.

Geng Zijiang hurriedly held Bai Ruihua and gasped as if he had a toothache: "This lady, you still have to change your habit of kneeling at every turn." ”

Bai Ruihua's face turned red, and she said, "I, I really don't know how to thank you......"

Geng Zijiang waved his hand: "I have said it, I am doing a good deed every day, it is purely self-satisfaction, you don't have to thank me, I have already got the pleasure of helping others from helping you." ”

Jiang Baoqing glanced at Geng Zijiang.

The ideological consciousness is quite high.

She can't.

She is now determined to be a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

Well, cold-blooded and ruthless.

Jiang Baoqing carried her big burden and helped Bai Ruihua carry the medicine, Bai Ruihua hugged Xiao Feng'er, thanked Geng Zijiang for her kindness, and then walked out of the city.

When Jiang Baoqing and Bai Ruihua arrived at the place outside the county to meet, Shen Shi had just arrived.

It's just that the others came out early, that is, the old man who sells vegetables still has a lot of vegetables in the basket, and it seems that they haven't been sold, so they are a little sad, and in addition, the faces of others are more or less joyful.

When Aunt Tu saw Jiang Baoqing and Bai Ruihua coming back together, she snorted heavily: "The little prostitute and the little hooves are mixed together!" I don't know what to do in the county, look, what time is this, a carload of people are waiting for you! ”

Bai Ruihua's lips trembled slightly: "Auntie, we went to see a doctor with my family Feng'er......"

Aunt Tu said sharply: "Stop, stop, your daughter Jin Gui even went to the county to see a doctor." She glanced at Bai Ruihua contemptuously, "I don't know which concubine gave the silver." ”

Bai Ruihua trembled and was about to cry.

Jiang Baoqing glanced at the large pile of things that Tu Da Niang bought beside her, and Tu Shusheng was still holding a sugar box in his hand to eat there. She smiled: "Where is Xiao Feng'er as expensive as the butcher's daughter, Jin." Look, this is just selling a granddaughter and getting so much money at once! ”

Aunt Tu seemed to have been poked by someone, and her hair was about to stand on end.
