Chapter Seventy-Six: The Problem of the Elderly
The next day, Pearl went to see Zhu'er again, Minghe and Shen both thought that the medicine sent by Pearl worked, and Pearl left a small porcelain bottle of medicine and told Minghe and Shen that these medicines must be given to the child according to the amount, not too much, and no less. Doses should be given more than two hours apart. The medicine of the village doctor is also to be drunk, and this will not conflict. If your child eats less, let them give your child solid food to save them a stomachache.
In the past few days, Zhu'er has been sick, and Pearl has isolated the child from Zhu'er, rarely going to see the people of Minghe's family, and has gone to see it herself, and she also has to change her clothes and wash her hands. Huairen's children are still very happy. There is a mother at home to accompany him, and four beautiful young ladies with fragrance accompany him, of course he is happy. Pearl worries that her son will eat the little girl's rouge.
Pearl usually watches her son, and when he sleeps, he will go to embroider, and then let the four little girls write and paint. Occasionally, Pearl would teach them to play the piano, and when they had free time, it would depend on what they were interested in, whether they were playing the piano, or playing Go, or writing and drawing.
The old man of the Ming family has a birthday, because it is not a full birthday, and it will not be a big deal, Pearl thinks that Ming Qian is taking the exam outside, what birthday does the family have, but there is no way to stop the family's thoughts, Ming Youshou jumped up and down, and he had to celebrate his father's birthday, and the Wang family also took out a rare silver tael and handed it to Pearl, saying that it was for her to prepare the banquet. At this time, Pearl can't help but speak. The people of the Ming family in the house have arrived, and they are waiting for Pearl to speak, what to do, and how much money to take. What can I do?
The most embarrassing thing for Pearl is that if it is a big deal, it will have to let Ming Qian come back, otherwise it will be unfilial. Thinking of this, Pearl said with a smile, "Grandpa, it's rare to have a good family this year, and your old birthday has to be done well, but now my husband is at a critical moment, and I originally wrote to him on purpose." Tell him to study hard and don't come back, and grandpa's birthday will be handed over to me. But if our family is going to have a big birthday, my husband has to come back. That's the case. It must be delayed for ten days and half a month. ”
When Feng Shi heard this, although he was unhappy in his heart, he still asked, "In your opinion, this birthday will not be held?" ”
Pearl said with a smile. What I mean is that let's do a little bit at home, and I'll go and give grandpa a birthday gift. Wait until your husband has a fame, and then make up for your grandfather. ”
Although the old man of the Ming family was not happy, he could only nod, and when Pearl saw this situation, he looked at the faces of Ming Youshou and his wife with pride. I also understand, but at this time, we must not let the family affairs drag down. Hurriedly said to Feng Shi again, "Grandma, I heard that the monks in the nearby temple are very capable, I went to ask my grandfather for a longevity talisman and asked him to light a lantern for you and grandpa in the temple, I don't know how this is?" ”
At this moment, the old man of the Ming family and the Feng family are happy, this thing can still be done, rural people have only heard of it. But there has never been such an opportunity! But there is a way for these things, pearls. She had many Buddhist scriptures translated in the Ming and Qing dynasties, took out a copy, and asked the old monk to help with something. That's pretty simple.
The old man of the Ming family wants to hold a birthday banquet, what is he asking for, name, and that's it. Pearl offered to light a lantern for him and Feng and ask for a longevity talisman. This is also a face! It's still something that the people in the village can't ask for. Pearl then raised it again, saying,
"It's not a big deal, but the family will definitely have a dinner. When the time comes, I will make a dress for my grandparents and a new pair of shoes. On the day my grandparents arrived, our children and grandchildren came to celebrate their birthdays, although my husband did not come back, but Huaide and I would give grandpa a good birthday. ”
In this way, the old man of the Ming family was happy, and the more troublesome thing was to ask the old monk to give him a lantern and send a longevity talisman. On this day, the pearl was ready, took the Buddhist scriptures, handed the child to the Feng family, and went out with the girl. When I came back in the afternoon, I really brought back the longevity talisman, and said that in the temple, the everlasting lantern had been lit. Not only that, but he also gave a bronze Buddha with pearls. Pearl also said that this is the old monk who felt that the old man of the Ming family was destined, and specially asked the bronze Buddha to give him.
The old man of the Ming family was really happy and offered the Buddha statue. Someone from the village came and introduced them deliberately. On the pearl side, he also took out the brocade he had kept, and made new clothes and shoes for the old man of the Ming family and the Feng family. Pearl also gave his grandfather a jade pendant and twenty taels of silver. It's a birthday gift for the old man. On the old man's birthday, Pearl took his son to kowtow to the old man. In addition, I also invited a chef from a restaurant in the town. Make a feast for the family. The people in the village heard about it, but because they didn't make a big deal, they just gave gifts.
Wang received the congratulatory gift, and he would never let go. But pearls can't look at it that way. In this way, he prepared snacks and fabrics for these people to return the gift. Such a trivial matter, everyone gradually saw the way out. Pearl's reputation in the village gradually rose, and everyone who found the Ming family for something talked directly to Pearl, knowing that the person who really contributed to the Ming family was Pearl. By the time Ming Youshou and his wife reacted, it was too late. Even if you say it again, no matter how showy it is, everyone won't talk to them anymore, just like a child, even if the family takes him seriously, but since you are not the one who works and pays for it, everyone no longer regards you as an adult who can speak.
Not long after, my mother's family sent a letter, saying that the old man of the Liu family was sick and I was afraid that it would be bad. Pearl was a little worried. The old man has long lost power. I don't know what the situation is. Pearl sympathized with the old man. Just because he was old, he had already handed over the money to his son, and he ended up like this.
Pearl returned to her parents' house with the child and the girl, and first followed the second girl to see the old man, and the old man was wearing and eating, which was not very good. Pearl told her parents that she wanted to take her grandfather to her house. Liu Tongzhu discussed it with the Fang clan and agreed.
When the old man of the Liu family arrived at Liu Tonghammer's house, there were many people in the village who came to see him, all of them were old people, and he thought it was because of his past friendship. On the other hand, it is also because of sympathy.
As soon as the old man woke up, Pearl asked, are the money and things you gave last time still there? Old Man Liu touched his body, and sure enough, there was no more, so he told the pearl the truth, and the money given by the pearl, the jade pendant or something, were all taken away. At the beginning, the old man was able to take out the money himself, but then he fell into a coma, and of course the money on his body was stolen.
Pearl does this, but also for the sake of his parents, the family is not bad for the old man to eat, if the old man will be waiting for the old man to leave in the future, then no one will say that Liu Tonghammer and his wife are not filial. After all, there is no way to lift the estrangement between my family and my grandparents, so I can only wait for the old man. Besides, the old man is also good to Pearl and their sisters, and if he didn't tell Pearl their inside story, it is very likely that someone robbed them of their dowry when they got married. (To be continued.) )
