Chapter 59: Auntie
Chapter Fifty-Nine: Auntie
Xiaoru's pharmacy and medical hall. Thanks to the big-mouthed Dr. Tang, before it opened, it was already famous in the capital, and there was an endless stream of people looking for her to see a doctor.
Now, Xiaoru is very fortunate to have found a responsible and capable doctor, these days, because she has not met patients who need surgery such as traumatic emergencies, so she has not worked at all, and all the patients are handled by Gao Ran alone. Even Lou Yi was prescribed medicine to him because the weather suddenly turned cold, so he had a cold and a cold.
Lou Yi and Gao Ran actually got along very well, at this point, Xiao Ru really didn't expect it, first, Gao Ran looked very cold to everyone, as if someone else owed him 100,000 yuan, under normal circumstances. No man wants to face a cold face, and Lou Yi is gentle and polite on the surface, but in fact, he gets along with people very measuredly, and has never had deep friendships with people, otherwise, after so many years, his real friend would not be only Ding Feng, who grew up together since childhood.
However, Lou Yi was able to withstand Gao Ran's cold face, just a few days, just from Lou Yi to speak, Gao Ran did his own thing, ignored it, and turned into Lou Yi As long as he spoke, Gao Ran didn't care what he did, he would obediently stop and listen, although he might not say anything, but this kind of performance made Old Man Tang see it once, and he was so shocked that he almost dropped his favorite snuffbox.
You must know that Dr. Tang is Gao Ran's master, and Gao Ran has always loved to listen to his words, and he has learned to be obedient to others, which can be said to be a miracle, if it weren't for understanding Xiaoru's personality. is also confident in her vision, and he even wants to suspect that the father-in-law of the Xiaoru family has played a trick on his apprentice.
Speaking of which, it is clear that everyone was so busy some time ago that they couldn't touch the ground, Lou Yi didn't see anyone until late at night, and the old man Gongsun Zhi never came, but in the past few days, everyone seems to be idle.
The old man Gongsun Zhi came to the house to drink tea every day, and occasionally ran into Doctor Tang, the two old men still had a topic to talk about, often a cup of tea, a game of chess, they could play for half a day, and the comfortable soft chair sand in Xiaoru's house had already made Doctor Tang go away two. Gongsun Zhi didn't go well with the old man, that is, he told Lou Yi that after his new house was completed, all these arrangements would be handed over to him to do, and he must be satisfied with his old man.
Lou Yi and Ding Feng's errand also became like Ying Mao, and they could turn around in less than an hour, in addition to practicing martial arts. Just sitting on the edge of the pond fishing, Xiaoru didn't understand, the pond had just been cleaned up, and the water was replaced with new water, and the fish fry hadn't had time to be released, what kind of fish could they catch? As a result, because of Ding Feng's good looks, many female patients who came to see the doctor deliberately took a long detour and ran around the pond on the back side of the mountain.
The bedroom door was closed and the windows were closed, but because the vents were open, I didn't feel stuffy.
Sitting upright next to the bookcase, Xiao Ru rubbed her eyes, facing the computer for nearly two hours today, she saw that her eyes were about to be spent, but unfortunately, in the vast text, up to now, there were almost no useful things, to see a simple piston pump construction diagram from a book of information, although Xiao Ru didn't understand it, but still copied it down, ready to send it to craftsmen, blacksmiths and other professionals, to see if it can be manufactured, if so, other benefits are not to be said. It will be much more convenient to water the ground or something in the future...... Of course, it is also more comfortable to take a bath by yourself.
Xiaoru also saw a descriptive text about family ecological agriculture, however, ecological agriculture, Xiaoru learned it when she was in junior high school, it is a common sense thing, and she is planning to carry it out when she settles down these days, so this description is dispensable.
In addition, Xiao Ru also realized that the predecessor who traveled through was still a gourmet, and there were a lot of food photos and recipes stored in the notebook, but unfortunately, many spices and ingredients could not be obtained now, otherwise, Xiao Ru really wanted to try everything.
Of course, there are still some that can be recorded and handed over to Xiaoyan to do, Xiaoru has loved food since before, but unfortunately, her cooking skills are just average, and she only learned them in ancient times, and the things she made are definitely not as good as Xiaoyan's group of specialized cooks.
Rubbing his eyes. Xiaoru shook her hand, closed the e-book, and was about to open the folder with cartoons and watch the cat and mouse entertain for a while, when Xiaoyan's voice came from outside the door - "Young lady, there are guests in the front hall, old lady, please come over." ”
Xiaoru was stunned, stunned, and hurriedly said: "I know, I'll go immediately, you go down first." ”
"Yes."
Hear Xiaoyan's footsteps and walk away. Xiao Ru hurriedly put the notebook back in the dark compartment, sorted out the messy clothes, and walked to the front hall, but, what guests do you need her to meet? It's not that there haven't been no guests coming to the door recently, but most of them are dealt with by mothers-in-law, except for a few wives and daughters of Lou Yi's colleagues, Xiaoru hasn't gone out a few times.
Xiaoru walked all the way into the front hall, and at a glance saw a female guest sitting in the guest seat, in her forties, covered with a light-colored armor, dressed neatly, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of sadness, which made people look uncomfortable.
Xiaoru saluted her mother-in-law first.
Mrs. Lou hurriedly introduced the two of them: "Sister, this is my daughter-in-law, you can just call her Xiaoru, daughter-in-law, this is your aunt." ”
Xiao Ru hurriedly gave a salute, but her mind wandered, this aunt is definitely not her own family, although her father has a younger sister, but he has been dead for many years, then, this in front of him must be Lou Yi's aunt, that is, the sister of the idiot Lou Master who abandoned his wife and children and ran away with a concubine, thinking of this, Xiao Ru's heart was full of diaphragm, but it was not enough to be angry with other people's sisters, so her expression was still peaceful.
Mrs. Lou's face was full of emotion, "Sister Fen'er, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, hey." When you first got married, I was young, and now, I am an old woman...... What about you, how have you been all these years? How are you doing? How about my brother-in-law? ”
"It's fine. A handful of old bones, still strong, can last a few years, and now the family has opened a foreign goods shop, and life is still passing. ”
Mrs. Lou sighed and nodded: "Sister, are you going to live in Beijing permanently, or are you here for something?" I remember that your Wang family still has an ancestral industry in Guangzhou. ”
"The family's property is handed over to my second son to take care of, the lord and the eldest of the family plan to open a shop in Beijing, and my sister-in-law should also know that foreign goods are still novel in Beijing, and the business is good."
Xiaoru sat next to her with her eyes and nose, and didn't interject a word, but she always felt that this cheap aunt looked absent-minded, although she was talking to her mother-in-law in her mouth, she always looked at herself with the corner of her eye, looking at it like that, it was obvious that there was something unspeakable, of course Xiaoru would not break it, people didn't say it, she was also happy to pretend to be deaf and dumb, after all, the unspeakable hidden thing often represents **annoyance, how far away you can be.
The two old men, the parents gossiped for a while, and as time passed, the sun went down, and the aunt became more and more restless, and after a while, she never found a chance to speak, or had not yet made up her mind, so she stood up and said: "Sister-in-law, it's not early, I'll go home first, and we'll talk later." ”
"So what are you doing in a hurry? I have to stay for dinner. ”
The aunt insisted on going back, and Mrs. Lou didn't stay behind, but just asked her to come and sit often when she was free.
Seeing off the guests, Xiaoru breathed a sigh of relief, and without saying a word about the possible purpose of her aunt's visit to their house, she happily asked Xiaoyan to prepare for dinner: "Mother, I asked Xiaoyan to get a roast duck today, it is very soft, you can taste it." ”
Although Mrs. Lou is old, she is not deaf and blind, and she is not a person, how can she not see that her sister has something to ask for, but, since it is not easy to speak, it is definitely not a good thing, of course Mrs. Lou can't be embarrassed by her daughter-in-law for a sister-in-law who hasn't been with her for a long time, she also shook her head and said with a smile: "Okay, don't wait for Brother Lou, let the kitchen heat up for them, let's start the meal first." ”
Unfortunately, there are some things that you don't want to hide from pretending to be deaf and dumb, and it can pass.
After dinner in the evening, Mrs. Lou went back to the house to embroider, Xiaoru looked at Fu'er's homework today, and then took her and took out her new album of 'Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck', and read it with Fu'er.
From time to time, there were a few muffled laughter in the bedroom, Mrs. Lou glanced at Fu'er, then at her daughter-in-law, and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, when will you give birth to a big fat grandson for your mother?" Fu'er, do you want to have a little DD to play with? ”
Fu'er blinked, and nodded cutely, Xiaoru almost didn't roll her eyes, so embarrassed that she didn't even blush, after all, since she and Lou Yi got married, her mother-in-law said it almost every two days, and her face was as thick as a city wall. Anyway, her health is healthy, Lou Yi's body is fine, the child will definitely have it, she is not in a hurry. It's just that giving birth to a son or a daughter, that's fate, and you can't force it.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were laughing, and Meng Nier suddenly came over and knocked on the door: "Old lady, Jiang Tian said that Mrs. Wang is here again, and she also brought a carriage, saying that she wants to pick up the young lady for medical treatment...... Madame Wang's eyes were red, she had obviously cried, her expression was anxious, and she looked very anxious. ”
"House call? Moniel, you let people in first, and I'll get out right away. ”
Xiao Ru was stunned, could it be that aunt had a patient at home? But what kind of disease does it need to be so secretive, she can clearly say that she is a doctor, will she not treat the patient?
