(61) Two visits to the thatched house

Entering the market, Zhang Qingting took the two brothers and sisters to the restaurant first for breakfast.

Wait until it comes out. Zhao Yulan was stunned, "It's just three bowls of porridge and a few dim sum side dishes, and I actually ate more than 20 Wen!" If this were for me, how much better would I have to make breakfast? ”

Zhao Chengcai hurriedly warned the sister, "Forget it after eating, don't talk to anyone when you go back, especially your mother!" ”

Zhao Yulan hurriedly waved her hand, "I'm sure I won't say it!" ”

Since she is here, and then go to the morning market to buy vegetables, Zhang Qingting is afraid that he will be teased again, so he retreats and stands by. Anyway, it's not fish or meat, and she doesn't limit the amount of money, so she does it with them.

is still Zhao Yulan's cook, knows how to buy vegetables, and it doesn't cost much, but she actually bought two days of vegetables, and there are fish and meat, and she also caught a fat duck, saying that she would burn it and eat it.

Seeing that she and Zhao Chengcai were carrying a large basket full of people, Zhang Qingting asked curiously. "Can you put these fish on to-morrow?"

"Yes!" Zhao Yulan deserved simply, "It's not hot now, I cleaned up all the dishes, it will definitely not be a problem to leave it overnight, and I don't have to come out tomorrow." Besides, tomorrow's holiday, things will definitely be more expensive, and if you do it today, you can save a lot! ”

This girl really knows how to live. Zhang Qingting smiled, and the three of them went to the pastry shop to buy some moon cake snacks. I went to the wine store to make a few jars of osmanthus wine, and it was not easy to take this thing as soon as there were too many.

What's more, Zhao Chengcai still has to give gifts, Zhang Qingting thought about it, and ingeniously bought some small flower baskets made of bamboo in the grocery store, put two small jars of wine in each of them, and then bundle up a box of pastries, and then decorate those silk flowers, it will be very beautiful.

There were people who wanted to give gifts on the side, and they followed suit, which made Miss Zhang very proud.

Zhao Chengcai was full of praise, "The lady is really a wise and blue heart, how can you think of it?" ”

Of course! Zhang Qingting happily received the praise.

Now that the things for the festival have been completed, it is time for both of them to do their own things, but Zhao Yulan has too many things to take. Zhang Qingting meant to hire a small wheelbarrow to help her send her back, but Zhao Yulan refused to live or die, not to say that she could get it, and she refused to spend that unjust money again, even if she walked slowly. I can go back, too. Afraid that she would hire a car, the girl turned around and left first with the handbag on her shoulder.

Zhang Qingting and Zhao Chengcai looked at each other, so she went, and the two of them went separately.

This time when he came to Fang's house again, Zhang Qingting was also familiar with the door, and no one answered when he knocked on the front door, so he went directly to the backyard.

Lo and behold, there was no one in the backyard. Where did these grandparents go?

No one paid attention to the two voices, and was wondering, wondering if it would be better to go in and take a look, and a neighbor's aunt next to him was also buying vegetables and coming back for the festival, "Little aunt, are you here to borrow Fang's mill?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"

"Ah...... Oh, yes! What about this family? "Zhang Qingting should come down in vain.

"Don't mention it! The old man drank too much and went crazy, fell last night, and made him unconscious, and this son is still there in Langzhong, I don't know if he is alive or dead! ”

Zhang Qingting was taken aback, if this old man died, what business would she still do?

The eldest aunt sighed, "This family is really evil. Think about how enviable it was at the beginning! The old man has the ability, and the son is filial, but with the addition of a granddaughter, it will be all messed up! In fact, she can't blame her granddaughter entirely, a woman giving birth to a child is like going to walk before the ghost gate, where can she keep it from having some accidents? Only later...... Alas, it's hard to say! Old man Fang is here, it's not good for that child, he either beats or scolds him all day long, but if Old Man Fang is really gone, the child will be even more miserable, where is anyone willing to take her in! ”

Seeing that this aunt seemed to know the details, and there was still a little pity for Miss Xiaofang in her words, Zhang Qingting hurriedly pulled her and asked a few key questions that came to mind last night, "What about the Xiangshi who said that her life was not good?" ”

"Early death! That Xiangshi is also poisonous, so do you curse that kid? You say......"

Zhang Qingting interrupted her play and asked again, "Has the old man Fang taken his granddaughter to rent this mill for a living all these years?" ”

"How is that possible? The mill only harvests in spring and autumn a year. Look, is there an old man's house? It used to be big and magnificent, and there were a lot of fields outside his family! Since he came back, he has started to collect rent, and he has lived quite well. At that time, he didn't hate his granddaughter so much, and the child was very good to her when she was young. ”

Zhang Qingting listened anxiously and asked, "Then how did it change?" ”

It's rare for the aunt to have an audience and speak up. simply put down the basket and pulled her to the side to sit down and whispered, "This matter is only clear to our old neighbors, and I will tell you about it slowly."

Not long after Old Man Fang came back, a young student came to the door and said that he wanted to worship him as a teacher and learn art from him. The little offspring is handsome and very clever, so Old Man Fang accepted it. Not long after, the scholar in the village said that his granddaughter was a broom star, and the old man was not happy. was instigated by his apprentice again, and he didn't know which evil he had fallen into, so he thought about having another room to give birth to a son.

Later, I got a little widow out of nowhere, and she looked good, but the demon didn't look like a serious person, but the old man Fang agreed when he saw that he was young. In the first half of the year, the little widow's belly did bulge, and she said that she was not used to living here, and coaxed him to sell the field, saying that she would go back to her mother's house. When the old man really sold the field, the little widow took the money and ran away with the little apprentice!

Alas! He didn't want to think about it, how could he keep people at his age? The minister swore an oath before. What a blessed and fated boy that woman is pregnant, nine times out of ten it is not Old Man Fang's! Since then, the Fang family has been completely defeated, relying on pawns to sell items and occasionally rent a mill to get by, and it has really not been a good time in the past few years. ”

Zhang Qingting suddenly realized, "Is that the rumor spread by the Xiangshi after the little apprentice came to this house?" I'm afraid this was all designed early, but I'm afraid that the apprentice and the little widow are also in the same group, and they bought the Xiangshi to act in this play! ”

The aunt slapped her thigh, "That's right! I've long been so skeptical! The old man suffered from this wretchedness, and it was hard to say. After that, I really started to drink heavily. When you're drunk, you'll be angry with your little granddaughter all day long! I had the intention to help the child, but my family didn't agree, saying that the child was unlucky, and I had a way? I had to take care of the child once in a while to see that she didn't starve to death! ”

Zhang Qingting finally understood why as soon as she proposed cooperation, Old Man Fang would be so disgusted, and the little Fang girl was always full of vigilance, daring to love that both of them were deceived and afraid!

She couldn't stand still, got up and said goodbye, "Auntie! Where is that old man there? ”

"That's not far off! You just follow this road, and the blue brick house with two jujube trees in front of the door is Dr. Huang's house! The smell of medicine is strong, you know it when you smell it! ”

"Great! Thank you, Auntie! ”

"Little sister-in-law! You forgot to take something! ”

Zhang Qingting simply put the flower basket directly into the gate of the Fang family, and turned around to find Dr. Huang!

After walking for a cup of tea, I found the two jujube trees very smoothly.

Not only smelled the smell of medicine, but also heard a thin cry, Zhang Qingting's heart tightened, could it be that the old man was already whining? No mistakes in many words

When I came in, Miss Fang was kneeling in the courtyard crying sadly, and there was a person on the door panel next to her, could it be Old Man Fang?

The dark-skinned middle-aged man thought it was Dr. Huang, and said impatiently, "It's not that I can't save it, it's that I can't save it!" You might as well go to the market and find a doctor to take a good look at your grandfather! ”

A woman's shrill voice came from inside the room, "Humph! Our family is not a benevolent church, and we don't have any money, so why do we come to see a doctor? Did our herbs fall from the sky? Giving a pair of medicines is already considered to be benevolent! Hurry up and drive out that broom star, lest it spoil our family's feng shui! ”

Zhang Qingting understood seven or eight points as soon as he heard it, and immediately became angry and rushed in, "The heart of the doctor's parents, is there a doctor like this in your family?" If you can't cure it, you can't cure it, to say cool things, I'm just taking the money now, can you cure people for me? ”

The doctor and the little girl looked up and saw that it was her, and they were stunned for a while.

"Which onion are you?" One of the women inside rushed out violently. "You want to be nosy?"

"The road is uneven, everyone steps on it!" Zhang Qingting pulled the little girl up, "Don't kneel like this!" Go find two of them, and take your grandfather to the market to find a doctor!" ”

Xiao Fang's eyes were already crying like walnuts, but she bit her lower lip tightly and remained silent.

Zhang Qingting immediately thought, where can this girl find someone to help?

"I'll carry you out!" She then remembered something and asked the doctor, "You said that you used the side medicine for Old Man Fang, how much did it cost?" ”

"Fifteen cents!" The woman hurriedly replied.

Zhang Qingting counted out the copper coins and stretched them out in front of the woman, but threw them on the ground.

"You!" The woman stomped her foot in anger.

"You don't deserve to take money from this girl!" Zhang Qingting sneered twice, and carried Old Man Fang out with Miss Fang one after the other.

If he couldn't walk ten steps, Zhang Qingting regretted it, this old man was really heavy!

When I want to put it down and hire two people, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with the time, and the diagnosis and treatment will be delayed. Helpless, Miss Zhang had to do a coolie with this little girl.

"Sister Zhang, you ...... Are you really willing to help me save my grandfather? Miss Xiaofang asked unconvincedly, "Dr. Huang said that my grandfather costs a lot of money to treat the disease, and it may not be cured!" I don't have any money! ”

"It's okay, it's important to save people first!"

"That'...... There is only one house and mill left in my house, and grandpa will not give it to you when he wakes up...... Maybe I'll have to scold you! ”

"It's okay! If he wants to scold me again, I'll reason with him! ”

"Grandpa can't be reasonable! You...... If you want his ingredients, it's even more impossible! ”

Zhang Qingting was happy, "Miss Fang, Sister Fang!" You put a hundred and twenty hearts! I want to invite your grandfather to go out of the mountain and do business with me! But I'm not going to take advantage of others! Zhang Qingting was so tired that he gasped, "Let's stop talking so much, hurry up and save our energy to carry him over!" ”

"That'...... That's hard work for you! ”

The two of them didn't say much, carried Old Man Fang into the market, and quickly found the pharmacy, took out real money, and of course they carried it in for treatment.

After some acupuncture, and poured the decoction, he was busy tossing for most of the hour, and the old man finally moved, his chest rose and fell sharply, he was panting heavily, his face was purple and swollen, his mouth was wide open, but he couldn't make a sound.

The little girl quickly helped her grandfather up and gave him relief. The doctor pricked a few more stitches, and saw that the old man Fang was panting more and more urgently, coughing on the ground, and coughing out a mouthful of thick yellow and fishy phlegm.

Zhang Qingting looked disgusted, quickly covered his nose, and hid aside. The old man came out with a mouthful of phlegm, and the back was much smoother, and he coughed up a small half of the thick phlegm of the spittoon, and then he slowly came out of his breath and opened his faint eyes.

A person who is usually so domineering and fierce looks fragile and pitiful at the moment, "I...... Where am I? ”

"Grandpa! Grandpa, are you finally awake? Miss Xiaofang cried with joy, "Great! It's in the pharmacy! You've been dizzy for a long time, thanks to Sister Zhang, who helped us and sent you here for treatment! ”

The doctor interjected first, "Brother, you can move your hands and feet first, can you still move?" ”

Old man Fang clenched his fists, it's okay. He bent his leg again, "I can move, but the left leg is numb, and I don't listen to the call." ”

The doctor shook his head and said, "You! It's a drunken lees, and if you can save it, even if you die! I'm afraid that this leg and foot will not be able to be used in the future, take good care of it, and remember not to drink too much! Otherwise, you won't be so lucky! ”

He packed up the needles and said to Zhang Qingting, "I'll prescribe him a few pairs of medicines first, and after taking it, I have to take him back for a follow-up visit, and it is estimated that it will take a long time!" Questions? ”

"No problem, you prescribe a prescription and let the guy grab the medicine directly, I'll come over and pay for it later."

The doctor went to work.

The old man here slowly came to his senses and realized what had happened.

looked at Zhang Qingting, and sure enough, the first sentence was cold, "I won't thank you!" I won't cooperate with you! ”

Miss Xiaofang was very embarrassed, but Zhang Qingting smiled, "Then how about I invite your ancestors and grandchildren to dinner and send you back?" ”

"You can't buy me if you eat!"

Zhang Qingting smiled even more, "If you can buy a person with one meal, it will inevitably be too cheap, even if you buy it, this girl is not rare!" You wait! ”

She turned around and went out, hired a sliding rod to come over, took the medicine, carried the old man Fang, and first found a small restaurant for a light meal.

This old man is really picky, scolding while eating, the green vegetables are not in the right heat, the meat slices are too old, the soup base is useless, and the nagging is endless.

Zhang Qingting and Miss Xiaofang were very sullen, buried themselves in eating, and let him go.

After the meal, Zhang Qingting asked for some steamed buns and braised vegetables to wrap up, let the Xiaofang girl take them, boil some porridge and fry green vegetables in the evening, and the grandparents and grandchildren were enough.

"That'...... Goodbye, Sister Zhang! ”

Zhang Qingting smiled, "It's not over yet, I have to go to your house too!" ”

Old man Fang was very surprised, "What are you doing at our house?" ”

Zhang Qingting smiled slyly, "Take the wine!" I originally gave you two jars of good wine and a box of moon cakes, and put them at your doorstep, you can't drink now, I naturally have to take it back! ”

"It's cheeky!" Old man Fang scolded loudly, "How can you take back the gift you gave to others?" ”

Zhang Qingting unceremoniously fought back, "Then there are people who have received the grace of others to save their lives and don't even have a word of thanks!" He doesn't feel cheeky when he's such an old guy, I'm embarrassed to be young? ”

Old man Fang was so angry that he grinded his teeth, "You have a purpose!" ”

"Didn't I achieve my goal? Not counts! Zhang Qingting also played a scoundrel, didn't talk to him more, asked the sedan chair man to come in, directly put the stubborn old man on the sedan chair, and carried it all the way to Fang's house.

This time, Zhang Qingting went deep into the Fang family, and personally commanded the palanquin man to send the old man Fang back to bed, which can be regarded as a complete experience.

If the former Zhang family was a poor nest that didn't even give birth to rats, this Fang family was a dirty nest that even a dog hated.

It's a mess, it's all over the place. Seeing that, Zhang Qingting frowned, and kept fanning the little wind with a handkerchief.

Old man Fang was happy, "My house is so dirty, I won't entertain you, you go back!" ”

Zhang Qingting really felt that he had the style of a big man, he could bend and stretch, and he was not annoyed at the moment, "I'll leave when I'm done!" ”

"I don't listen!" Old man Fang covered his head with a quilt.

"Do you like to listen or not? Anyway, I'll leave when I'm done! ”

It just so happened that as soon as Miss Xiaofang came back, she immediately went to the kitchen to boil water and prepare to entertain guests, and some words were more convenient to say.

Zhang Qingting was also not polite, and shouted directly, "Old man Fang, have you ever thought that if you die like this, who will collect your body?" ”

Old man Fang shouldn't, she asked herself, "Naturally, there is only your granddaughter." But your granddaughter brought it to you to collect the body? Look at your family, I'm afraid you can't even prepare a coffin board, right? No mistakes, not a lot of words"

"Why not!" Old man Fang turned his head angrily and replied, "I have already prepared a coffin shroud for myself!" It's right next door! Death is death, with greatness, who told you to meddle in my business to save me? ”

"Okay, okay! Even if my dog takes a mouse, will it work? Zhang Qingting not only laughed at himself, but also teased him.

"Even if you have a coffin and a shroud, you will naturally be a Xiaofang girl wearing linen and filial piety, so what about the one who carries the coffin for you? Will anyone in this village heed your granddaughter's request and come and help you settle down? I won't say more, just say that you got sick last night, or you are alive, and the neighbor was kind enough to help you send you to the doctor! But when I saw you this morning, Xiaofang's sister knelt on the ground for most of the night, and they gave you a pair of medicines, and they didn't let you enter the house at all, think about the popularity of the two of you! ”

Old man Fang said that there was a pain in his heart, and he didn't look over it.

Zhang Qingting continued, "I know you will say that your granddaughter is a broom star, and no one deserves it." But does she really deserve it? Why don't you think about it, it is difficult for a woman to give birth to a child, and it is quite unfortunate that her mother fell ill when she gave birth to her, but is it her fault? It's also unfortunate that your son was kidnapped to treat his daughter-in-law, but is it your granddaughter's fault? She was only a little older at that time, and she knew something? No matter who it is, a finger can kill her, who else can she kill? Scourge to whom? ”

She glanced at the old man and said what she had guessed in her heart, "Perhaps, it is you who really killed your son!" ”
