Chapter 46: Preparations Before Leaving
Tong Yan had been sticky with Lu Jinzhi at home for two days, and she couldn't stand it anymore, clamoring to go out for a walk. The first place Lu Jinzhi took Tong Yan to was Dr. Qi's house. When I went, Dr. Qi was moving flowers in the courtyard, and when he saw the two of them coming, they were about to wash their hands. Looking at Tong Yan's face, her brows furrowed, and her tone of voice was not very good: "The medicine prescribed to you is not delicious? Why is your face not as good as last time, I don't look at disobedient patients." Let's go!" Lu Jinzhi stepped forward, bowed slightly, and explained in a good voice: "I have finished taking all the medicine last time, but I fell into the water before, so I will let you take a look." ”
Doctor Qi glared and asked Tong Yan: "How old are you?" You are still playing in the water and falling down, you are really capable!" Lu Jinzhi hurriedly explained: "It's not playing in the water, it's to save people." ”
When Doctor Qi heard that it was to save people, his face looked better. Let Tong Yan sit and go get the medicine box by herself. Tong Yan secretly scolded herself: What kind of doctor is this! Tong Yan's impression of traditional Chinese medicine should be a crane with a childish face, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, amiable, and soft-spoken. This old man is very fierce, he is angry, his eyebrows can be raised, and he can train people when he speaks, which really subverts Tong Yan's impression of doctors.
Doctor Qi sat down to check the pulse, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he waited for a long time. He slowly removed his hand and asked Tong Yan: "Is it that when you have menstruation, you will have abdominal pain?" Tong Yan's face flushed, she glanced at Lu Jin, and said honestly: "I used to have a slight pain, but recently the pain has been worse." Doctor Qi thought for a while, picked up a pen and wrote a prescription, Lu Jinzhi stopped him, and told Doctor Qi that Tong Yan had been in a coma for three days, but nothing was found. Doctor Qi's eyebrows tightened, and he took the pulse again. After hesitating for a while, he said, "I'll prescribe a prescription first, there are internal medicines, and there are external medicines." Go back and buy a tub, the bigger one, try the medicated bath first, use it for a week, and then come back to me. Lu Jinzhi bowed down and thanked him, and the two left with two large bags of medicine.
Lu Jinzhi's face was not good, Tong Yan knew that he was worried about him, so he could only comfort him. Lu Jinzhi suddenly stopped, and said to Tong Yan very seriously: "We are now a family, we have to tell each other everything, if it wasn't for Dr. Qi asking today, wouldn't you tell me those things?"
Tong Yan was speechless, in fact, Tong Yan still has an idea in her bones that her own things should be solved by herself, maybe Tong Yan's growth experience determines her thinking mode, and now with Lu Jinzhi, she doesn't feel that there are some things that have to be said, but Lu Jinzhi hopes that no matter how big or small, she has to communicate with him. Tong Yan thought for a while and said, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just don't think this matter is a big deal, if you feel that you need to know, I can tell you." ”
Tong Yan felt that she could take a step back on this issue. Lu Jinzhi recognized Tong Yan's attitude, and he was no longer angry. After the two went back, Zhang Qiao looked at the medicine and was startled, he heard that he needed a medicinal bath, but there was no such bath barrel at home, so he quickly asked Lu Jinzhi to find someone to find a way to find a carpenter to make one. Lu Jinzhi really put a lot of thought into this bath bucket, and specially found an old carpenter to make one.
Tong Yan started the painful time of drinking medicine again, with the supervision of Zhang Qiao and Lu Jinzhi, Tong Yan had to obediently accept her fate. Lu Huan saw Tong Yan's frowning appearance, and felt that the little sister-in-law was so pitiful. He found candy from his inventory, gave Tong Yan two candies every day, reminded Tong Yan to take one as soon as she finished taking the medicine, and specially reminded her that when Tong Yan's medicine was finished, there would be no such benefits. Tong Yan was warmed and kissed his round little face.
After staying in the Lu family for a few days, Tong Yan and the Lu family got along well, Lu Xiannian and Zhang Qiao had a good impression of Tong Yan, plus Tong Yan saved Lu Jinzhi, she was grateful to her, and they were more attentive when they got along with each other, and it didn't take long for Tong Yan to integrate into the family, which also made Tong Yan feel the long-lost family affection.
Xu Jing is a sensible person, and there is a big age difference between her and Tong Yan, although the two are not particularly affectionate, they can get along well.
A few days after the bitter and sweet days, Lu Xinian came back early that day, and called everyone for a meeting before dinner. Lu Xinian's expression was serious, although Tong Yan had not been with this father-in-law for a long time, she knew that Lu Xinian was very gentle at home, and today's strangeness made Tong Yan feel uneasy. Lu Xinian looked at his eldest son, and then at the two children, his expression was complicated, and he opened his mouth with a little difficulty: "Xu Jing's transfer order has been approved, I will go back to the hospital tomorrow to hand it over, and then I will take the child to join the army!" Xu Jing was mentally prepared before, so he naturally agreed. Tong Yan didn't know at all, she glanced at Lu Jin, Lu Jinzhi gave her a look, and Tong Yan was silent. Brother Lu's expression remained unchanged, for him, it was a good thing for his daughter-in-law and children to follow the army, as for those messy things, he had not been in vain in the military camp in the past few years, so he could naturally deal with it.
Lu Qiannian looked at Lu Jinzhi, and there was a little reluctance in his eyes, "You, your arrangement has also come down, a village under Province Z - Shiwan Village." The place is a bit out of the way, but the people are not complicated, you go and stay for a few years, and then find a way to get you back when the time is right. Lu Jinzhi looked at Lu Xinian and replied firmly: "Dad, I can do it well." Lu Xinian nodded with satisfaction. Zhang Qiao covered her mouth and cried lowly.
Tong Yan felt that Shiwan Village sounded a little familiar, but she only knew that Province Z was next door to Province J, and it was not too far from City B.
Next, the Lu family began to prepare for Xu Jing's departure, one night, Xu Jing came to Tong Yan, took a cardboard box, opened it and saw that it was all medical supplies, including medicines, gauze, medical alcohol and the like. Xu Jing told Tong Yan that these things were all requested by Lu Jinzhi, and they should be prepared for going to Shiwan Village. Tong Yan looked at these things and knew that even if Xu Jing was a doctor, it would not be easy to prepare these things, so she was full of gratitude.
This time Xu Jing's overture, Tong Yan felt that she should give her a peach and repay it. When she set off, Tong Yan took a large bag of things, such as white flour, red dates, peanuts and sugar. Xu Jing was very surprised, the place where Brother Lu was a soldier was in the northwest, and the environment was difficult, especially in food, he could endure it, but let the two children also endure hardships, Xu Jing was still very distressed. Looking at these things, it was enough for the two children to fight tooth sacrifices, Xu Jing was happy in her heart, and took Tong Yan's hand to thank her. In Xu Jing's heart, Tong Yan is definitely easier to get along with than Miao Miao, she has no scheming, and her temperament is also gentle. Now seeing that Tong Yan is so generous to her, and I also think of her kindness in my heart, and then the two concubines get along with each other with a little more sincerity.
The departure of Brother Lu's family made Zhang Qiao depressed for several days, Tong Yan saw it in her eyes, and could only try her best to comfort her, and chatted with Zhang Qiao when she was free. In the past few days, the dinner was made by Tong Yan and Zhang's sister-in-law, and the dishes made by Tong Yan tried to meet Zhang Qiao's taste, Zhang Qiao naturally felt Tong Yan's mind and gradually recovered some of her spirits. That day, Zhang Qiao called Tong Yan to his room, took Tong Yan's hand and said, "These days, I've worked hard for you, don't worry, I want to open it too, it's okay." The environment there is a bit tougher, but fortunately, the boss has a bit of a foundation there, and nothing will happen. I just can't bear it. Then she sighed again, and continued: "Now I am not worried about the two of you, when you arrive in that place, you are not familiar with the place, you should be careful. If there is anything you two need to discuss, take care of yourself. ”
Tong Yan knew in her heart that the future would be difficult, but she still didn't show it on her face, and she kept comforting Zhang Qiao, and promised Zhang Qiao that she would be able to live a good life.
Zhang Qiao touched Tong Yan's face lovingly, turned around and took a cloth bag out of the cabinet. After opening it, Tong Yan saw three golden "little yellow croakers", and Zhang Qiao told Tong Yan: "This is for you, if you encounter something difficult, this can be an emergency." There are also money and bills, which were prepared before, and your sister-in-law also has a copy. Gold bars are the only ones you have, don't let me say that you have them, because the place you go to is hard, so it is given to you. Tong Yan took it, this is Zhang Qiao's motherly heart.
When Tong Yan gave the cloth bag to Lu Jinzhi, Lu Jinzhi was silent for a long time with the cloth bag, Tong Yan felt his helplessness and suffering, and silently leaned her head on Lu Jinzhi's shoulder.
After that, Lu Jinzhi proposed to take Tong Yan to Lihua Hutong for one night. Tong Yan was very curious why she went there, but Lu Jinzhi refused to say anything. In the evening, Lu Jinzhi asked Tong Yan to change her clothes and took Tong Yan out.
Lu Jinzhi rode a bicycle, Tong Yan sat on the back seat, in the quiet street, occasionally a few pedestrians, Lu Jinzhi has always chosen to ride on the path, about an hour of riding, Lu Jinzhi stopped. looked around, and seeing that there was no one around, Lu Jinzhi asked Tong Yan to put away the bicycle. The two walked against the wall for a while and came to the door of a house. Through the faint light, Tong Yan saw one by one black lacquered wooden doors, and there were two stone piers at the door. There are some traces of vandalism on the wooden door.
Lu Jinzhi took out the key, opened the door, and entered the house with Tong Yan. Tong Yan took out a flashlight, and relying on a little light, Tong Yan saw a messy yard, where the flowers and plants that had been planted were uprooted and discarded on the ground at will, the chair with missing legs was leaning against the corner, and some books were torn and shredded and scattered everywhere. Tong Yan knew what this meant, and glanced at Lu Jin.
Lu Jinzhi took Tong Yan's hand and continued to walk inside. The area of the house is really not small, there are rockeries and a small pond in it, and now the pool is empty, showing the bleak fate of this house.
Looking at Tong Yan's slightly changing expression, Lu Jinzhi explained: "The owner of this room is a friend of mine, and now he has left, and there are some things here that he can't take away, so he gave them to me." Tong Yan's heart was a little more stable.
