The dew on the leaves had not yet dried up, and Zhao Shuxin and Zhao's mother went out after breakfast. Qian Manzhi waited for them to go home for dinner at noon, but waited until about two o'clock in the afternoon until the mother and son came back.

"Why did you come back? Eat or not? Qian Manzhi asked with concern.

Zhao Shuxin picked up the big teacup on the table and drank it in one gulp before he spoke: "I didn't eat, the things outside are expensive, how can I have money to eat outside." ”

"The food is cold, I'm going to heat it up. Mom, what would you like to eat? I'll fry you an egg! Qian Manzhi did not snub the mother-in-law who walked in slowly.

"You have arranged it and asked me what I want to eat, just eggs, I don't want to fry it, you steam it for me." Mother Zhao picked on the problem.

"Okay." Qian Manzhi doesn't care about her mother-in-law on her tongue, she has to worry about the endless idleness that day.

Qian Manzhi quickly took out three eggs and stirred them into a bowl, and dripped a few drops of sesame oil before steaming. She sent the steamed eggs to Zhao's mother before returning to the kitchen to heat the dishes.

Zhao's mother was eating tender and sweet steamed eggs, and Zhao Shuxin was hungry and sat on the side to watch.

Mother Zhao didn't mean to divide Zhao Shuxin's mouthful, but blamed Qian Manzhi for not feeling sorry for the man, and didn't know how to steam an extra bowl of eggs when she saw the man starving.

Qian Manzhi couldn't hear clearly in the kitchen, but Zhao's mother's mouth didn't stop, and she just heard it clearly when she entered the door with the food.

"It's time to eat!" Qian Manzhi put the bowl on the table hard, and the moment the bowl touched the table, there was a heavy noise.

"To die, you won't be lighter!" Mother Zhao's shoulders shook in fright.

Zhao Shuxin saw that the atmosphere between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was wrong, and hurriedly pushed Qian Manzhi out of the door: "You go and get busy, I'll serve the meal myself." ”

Qian Manzhi glanced at Zhao's mother who was chattering, and then at Zhao Shuxin, who was pulling the shelf, and left out of sight and out of mind, she was afraid that she would quarrel with her mother-in-law if she stayed any longer.

"Mom, could you please say a few words." Zhao Shuxin pleaded in a low voice.

"What do you mean? I can't say both? It's rare for me to eat at your place once, and you still want to dislike me for talking too much? Mother Zhao put down the bowl unhappily.

"Mom, that's not what I meant. The eggs at home still have to be exchanged for money, but I am usually reluctant to eat them, and Manzhi didn't make them for me, so don't blame her for everything. ”

"Okay, so you dislike me for eating a few eggs from your family? Okay, Zhao Shuxin, are you a long-term skill now? You still have an opinion on how much my mother eats a few eggs from you, and you don't want to think about how I raised you with a handful of and urine, and now I have to be disgusted by you when I am old. Mother Zhao began to tell the story of the past again.

Zhao Shuxin heard that one head was two big, and his stomach was so hungry that he immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Mom, I was wrong!" It's not that I don't like you for eating eggs, it's that I can't speak, but I really don't blame you, it's all blame! Hurry up and eat! ”

"Hmph, of course it's all your fault, you are used to being lawless at home, and even Lele has learned her mother's problems, no wonder you can't give birth to a son." Zhao's mother refused to spare people when she opened her mouth.

Zhao Shuxin listened to it in front of him, and only then did he change his face and shout at the last sentence: "Mom! ”

Mother Zhao raised her head and stared at him with puzzled eyes, not understanding what he was shouting.

"Eat! If you don't want to eat, go back first. Zhao Shuxin didn't want to hear that he couldn't give birth to a son, especially when he had just returned from a doctor's visit.

Zhao's mother finally understood that Zhao Shuxin was unhappy, she saw that his face was not very good, and finally came to her senses, and began to shut up and eat quietly.

Zhao Shuxin saw that Zhao's mother didn't speak, and he also picked up the bowl and began to eat. No one was whispering in his ears, his brain didn't hurt, and his ears didn't buzz.

Zhao's mother finished eating the lunch that she missed, and she didn't care that Zhao Shuxin was still eating, so she threw her hands and went home.

Zhao Shuxin didn't care, Zhao's mother was angry again, and she would still come to the door in a few days, she was reluctant to have any good things at home. Even if it is to cut two taels of meat, she has to divide half of it to feel comfortable. He planned to weigh some meat back in two days when he was free.

Qian Manzhi sat at the neighbor's house next door, but his eyes kept on the door of his house, and when he saw Zhao's mother leaving her, he immediately got up and went home.

Zhao Shuxin was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, and after she entered the door, she took over the work in his hand and asked, "You went to see the old Chinese medicine doctor today, what did the doctor say?" ”

"The doctor said a lot, and I didn't understand it, so I ordered a few medicines and told me to go home and eat first, and then go to him after eating." Zhao Shuxin confessed truthfully.

"How much is a pair of medicines?"

"Ten packets of medicine are more than a hundred."

Qian Manzhi compared the medicine prescribed by the county doctor, and the price was about the same, but I don't know how effective the medicine is.

"I'll go and decoct you for the medicine." Qian Manzhi looked forward to Zhao Shuxin getting the medicine as soon as possible.

Zhao Shuxin drank traditional Chinese medicine that was more bitter than Coptis chinensis every day, and the sequelae left was that the taste was getting worse and worse, eating was not interesting, and he couldn't taste the five flavors in his mouth.

Qian Manzhi saw that he ate less and less, so he tried his best to change his tricks. Zhao Shuxin looked at the food with all the color and taste, and his mood was much better, but he still didn't want to eat because of the bitterness in his mouth, and he could only eat half a bowl of white rice when it was steamed, and it was not a problem to be a full bowl before.

Qian Manzhi saw that he still didn't eat much, so he tried to say that he wanted to fry some meatballs and other dishes, which were good dishes that were only made once in the New Year.

"Don't waste all the oil you squeeze at home, I'll be fine if I eat less." Zhao Shuxin was reluctant to fry food in oil, and he could fry it for a long time when he went home.

"It's okay, you don't have the strength to eat less and work." Qian Manzhi was worried when she thought of double robbery, she was worried that Zhao Shuxin's body would not be able to withstand the high-intensity labor of double robbery.

Zhao Shuxin didn't dare to be reckless and said that it would definitely work, his recent health was indeed much worse.

"There are two more pairs of medicines, I will go to the doctor after drinking them."

"Do you go to the county seat or go to the old Chinese medicine doctor?" Qian Manzhi felt that these two places were not good, and taking medicine for so long had no effect, so she still felt that she should go to the provincial capital to see a doctor.

Zhao Shuxin gritted his teeth: "Go to the county seat to see." ”

"Well, you ask the county doctor, if it doesn't work, we'll still find a way to go to the provincial capital." Qian Manzhi persuaded Zhao Shuxin again.

Zhao Shuxin shook his head: "The cost of going to the provincial capital is too high, it is not good to be cured in the county, and the effect of going to the provincial capital is not necessarily good." Anyway, I'm not going, I can live one day at a time, so I have to get by! ”

"What are you talking about, do you want to leave us orphans and widows to be bullied!" Qian Manzhi doesn't like to listen to this kind of resignation.

"I'm just saying that I'm not there yet, and I don't say I'm going to die." Zhao Shuxin also reacted that what he said just now was unlucky.

Zhao Shuxin was going to the county seat to see a doctor, and it reached Zhao's mother's ears, and she knew that the Zhao family knew it. So the couple was called to Zhao Shuli's house again, and Zhao's mother wanted to unite the family to educate them and the couple.

"Do you have too much money to spend? You don't have any points in your heart to go to the county to see a doctor, and you can't take Chinese medicine? "Mother Zhao is very confident in the old Chinese medicine doctor she is looking for.

"Mom, I didn't say I wouldn't take Chinese medicine, I just went to the county seat first to see what the doctor said." Zhao Shuxin didn't want to quarrel with Zhao's mother.

"Do you take Chinese medicine and go to the county seat to waste money? Tomorrow, I will go directly to the old Chinese medicine doctor to check the pulse, and I will go with you. Zhao's mother opened her mouth and blocked Zhao Shuxin's retreat.
