Chapter 25: Healing
Qi Sheng felt that the current Ji Wennan was very strange, even the shopkeeper Ji was silent about this son, and he would talk to him about everything in the past, but he never showed any tone in this matter.
He probably made Ji Wennan suspicious, and a sense of irritability rose in his heart, he had quietly established Ji Wennan's trust in him for so long, and he was all ruined by his negligence this time.
That's it, the next thing is to continue to have a good relationship with this season's son and act quietly.
A group of guards walked outside the courtyard, and the lights were on for a moment and then drifted away.
The next day, at noon, the sun was blazing outside the hospital.
Aunt Liu came back from outside, holding a burden in her arms, and a joy that had been rarely seen for many days floated on her face.
"Mother, why have you been out for so long?" Liu Da Niu stood under the eaves, and as soon as he saw Liu Da Niang enter the door, he immediately greeted him.
"Ouch, isn't that just in time?" Aunt Liu was a little helpless with his eager look, "At this time, getting these things makes people look at them and don't know how to break them up." ”
Aunt Liang hurriedly walked out when she heard the voice of talking outside the hospital, and asked, "Have you got it all?" ”
Aunt Liu motioned the burden forward, bypassed Liu Daniu who was blocking in front of her, and handed the burden in her arms to Aunt Liang.
Aunt Liang took the things happily and walked towards the stove room without stopping. Shen Yuanyao also came out of the house, holding Liu Anyi, who was also happily in his hand.
"Brother Maozi has eaten a lot of food today."
When Aunt Liu saw his cute appearance, she remembered that she would have to hug her grandson in another half a year, and her face smiled. picked him up directly and teased: "Or just live in our house, I can't bear to comfort you." ”
It's no wonder that Aunt Liu loves Liu Anyi, compared to her son who jumped up and down when he was a child, the well-behaved and obedient Liu Anyi is the representative of other people's children.
Liu Anyi was also frightened by Aunt Liu's action, Shen Yuanyao hadn't hugged him so affectionately for a long time, two blush rose on her face, and she secretly glanced at Shen Yuanyao, who was smiling silently, and whispered: "I've grown up, I can't let Auntie hold him anymore." ”
"Okay, okay, we are comfortable, we can't just hug it." Aunt Liu was directly amused by his small appearance and put the person down.
After Liu Anyi's toes touched the floor and stood firm, she trotted a few steps to Shen Yuanyao's side, carefully pulled her sleeve and said to Aunt Liu: "Auntie can't hold me, my aunt has a lot of strength and can hold me." ”
Aunt Liu was amused by his words and laughed even more, "I dare to let Yuan Yao hug you." ”
Shen Yuanyao was also amused by Liu Anyi, and followed Aunt Liu's words, and picked him up, "Yes, my aunt has a lot of strength, if you eat more, your aunt can pick you up!" ”
The flush on Liu Anyi's face was even worse, although he was ignorant when he heard it, he also knew that they were laughing at his careful thoughts, and his little face buried himself in Shen Yuanyao's neck, unwilling to speak again.
Liu Da Niu was tired of his mother's loving words, he had never been spoiled by his mother when he was a child, how could he wait for him to grow up and be even more exaggerated, either a stick or a big slap on the back of the head.
"Why don't you take out the brazier yet?" After Aunt Liu teased Liu Anyi, she saw Liu Daniu's fugue appearance, and she couldn't see her son's stupid appearance the most.
Liu Daniu was still fuguing how his mother treated him differently from treating other people, he received another slap on the back of the head, turned around and walked to the stove room, and muttered in a low voice: "It's really a mother." ”
Fortunately, his voice was not loud, otherwise he would have received a slap on the back of the head.
After Liu Da Niu lit the brazier, Aunt Liang boiled the hot water and came out, Aunt Liu beckoned everyone to cross the brazier.
Shigeko walked at the back and stayed in the house for a long time, and the whole person was several degrees white. But compared to the haggard and pale appearance when he was sick before, after healing, in addition to his complexion being whiter than before, his spirit is much better.
"I stepped over the brazier, and all the sickness was gone." Aunt Liu waited for Maozi to cross the brazier and read the words with a serious face.
Aunt Liang took Maozi straight to the house, stepped over the brazier and took a bath. It is a custom that has been passed down for hundreds of years to boil hot water with grapefruit leaves and a small amount of sundries, and to take a bath directly to sweep away bad luck.
Since Maozi fell ill, Aunt Liang pleaded with the Bodhisattva to offer to heaven and earth, with the mentality that she would rather believe it than believe it.
There are still some people in the new era who retain this custom, and they value it even more in this era, Shen Yuanyao knows that he can't persuade Aunt Liang, so he can only go with her.
Liu Da Niu threw all the things used in Maozi's illness into the brazier and burned them, in Shen Yuanyao's words, that is, although Maozi was cured, these things would inevitably be stained with a lot of germs, and they would be infected with others if they were not careful, and they would burn it.
When the things are almost packed up, and the sky is not dark, it is difficult to go out at this time to avoid being seen by the villagers, so it is safest to go out later.
"Yuan Yao, can you leave for the city tomorrow?"
Liu Da Niu's body was straight, although Shen Yuanyao had also agreed to him before when Maozi was well and would go to the city with him, but he was still not very stable in his heart, and he was afraid that Shen Yuanyao would regret it before leaving.
"Brother Da Niu, these days, you have learned all the medicines I dispense, as long as the patients in the city are infected with malaria, they can be treated like this, and it doesn't matter if I'm not there."
Among the five people, except for Shen Yuanyao and Liu Da Niu, who knew how to do some medical skills, the rest of them also learned a little bit of distinguishing medicinal herbs, and Shen Yuanyao handed over Liu Da Niu very seriously.
But seeing that Liu Da Niu was indeed very nervous to ask himself, he could only open his mouth and answer: "If you are not at ease, I can go with it." After a pause, he continued: "I don't know how much it costs ......to diagnose the pulse."
"It's up to me to talk to Steward Qin about this, so naturally I can't treat you badly." Liu Da Niu couldn't help but say excitedly.
Although Liu Anyi is young, she is very smart, with his understanding of Shen Yuanyao in the past few days, she will definitely not let this intelligence be buried.
The cost of going to school is not small, and what is even more helpless is that Shen Yuanyao has no money. He knew that the Shen family sold her in order to marry Shen Hongguang's daughter-in-law, and the silver money he got built a house to marry a new daughter-in-law, what silver money could be left, even if there was leftover, it would not be possible for Shen Yuanyao to use it on outsiders.
Shen Yuanyao didn't need anything else, but silver was very scarce. Although he was promised to go with him, it was not without conditions.
Liu Daniu was relieved, but also asked for some compensation for her that should have belonged to her.
"That's right." Aunt Liu suddenly remembered something, looked at Shen Yuanyao's expression, and hesitated: "I heard someone say today that the Qin family and the Shen family have withdrawn from each other. ”
Aunt Liang's face changed when she heard this, Aunt Liu also had an indescribable expression, Liu Daniu didn't understand who the Qin family and the Shen family were and who they were, except for the girl who couldn't understand the voiceover, her face was very flat.
"My dad agreed?" Shen Yuanyao didn't feel anything at all, and asked calmly.
"It is said that Li Chunhua went to Li Zheng's house to make trouble, and Li Zheng couldn't stand it and agreed, so the family matter was withdrawn."
"Hey, whose girl is this? In this way, there will still be people who dare to ask for it in the future. As soon as Liu Daniu finished speaking, he couldn't stop gossiping and asked.
Aunt Liu and Aunt Liang's faces changed because of his words, and Aunt Liu couldn't wait to take off the clogs on her feet and stuff them into her son's mouth, so don't talk nonsense if you don't know what the reason is.
As soon as Aunt Liang heard this, she felt weak, and her arm subconsciously hugged Maozi in her arms. Maozi was strangled by her action, and exclaimed, "Grandma, I'm uncomfortable." ”
"Where is it uncomfortable, is it fever again?" Aunt Liang couldn't care about her weakness anymore, and asked with concern. It turned out that it was because he was moving too much and hurt Shigeko.
The four pairs of eyes present looked at this movement, Liu Anyi blinked innocently, and Aunt Liang was even more weak-hearted.
Shen Yuanyao retracted his gaze, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
When she left home this time, although she left a note for the Shen family, I don't know if they saw it. If she didn't see it, then she had run away from home. Now the Qin and Shen families have also withdrawn from their relatives, mostly because of her "running away from home", the Qin family got the opportunity to withdraw in front of Lizheng.
Although Shen Yuanyao was also thinking about how to withdraw this family business, she even thought about going to Qin Zhengkang in private to withdraw the family business, so as not to hurt the faces of the two families. Now things are not only getting bigger, but the two families have no face.
When she went back suddenly, the Shen family, it can be said that Shen Houniu's anger could not be avoided, but how could she come back from home if she "ran away from home" so much.
Seeing that Shen Yuanyao hung her head in contemplation and didn't look up, Aunt Liu directly reached out and pinched Liu Daniu, and opened her mouth exaggeratedly to make a mouth shape.
At this time, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and Liu Daniu, even if he was stupid, knew that he had said the wrong thing, and gestured to her mother. The girl of the Shen family, who is inseparable from eight or nine, is Shen Yuanyao.
He can't wait to smack himself now, isn't this a pot that can't be opened?
Aunt Liang opened her mouth to speak, but finally closed her mouth, lowered her head and absentmindedly teased Maozi, who was in excellent spirits.
The sky was getting darker, and most of the families were preparing for dinner at this hour, so naturally no one was walking around outside.
Aunt Liang held Maozi in one hand and a simple burden in the other, and hurried out of the yard to blend in with the night.
The Liang family did not light up, and the light around them was dim.
Aunt Liang was reluctant to let her grandson suffer, and her body bones were not as strong as when she was young, so she hugged Maozi all the way back, and when she put the person down at the door of the house, she felt the soreness and numbness of her arm.
As soon as Maozi's feet touched the ground, his small body rushed away like a sword like a Xuan, "Dad, mother, grandpa, I'll come back." ”
The people who were eating around the big table thought they had heard it wrong, and these days, Aunt Liang and Maozi had no news at all, and they were all dying.
Liang Qi's daughter-in-law didn't care if it was true or not, as soon as she heard Maozi's voice, she raised her eyes directly and looked at the courtyard gate, and her eyes turned red instantly.
She really couldn't hold on, and if Shigeko didn't come back, she simply went back to her parents' house. How can a mother-in-law run away from home with her grandson?
Liang Qi always asked her to wait at home with peace of mind, isn't Maozi his son?
