Chapter 47: See the Doctor
The next day, as soon as Zhang opened his eyes and saw that this was not his home, he immediately regretted that he wanted to go home, last night his mother left her down for one night, she knew that she was wrong, but she didn't know if Wei Donglai would come to pick her up.
However, her worries disappeared at noon, and Wei Donglai drove the mule cart to find it, which Liu Guiyuan saw when he was feeding the pigs.
"Uncle, you're here, my aunt is talking to my grandmother at home."
Liu Guiyuan saw her uncle-in-law from afar, and kept beckoning happily, last night when she was sleeping, she heard in a trance that her aunt ran away from home because of a quarrel with her mother-in-law, but she didn't expect her uncle-in-law to come to pick her up early in the morning, not to mention anything else, just rush to this, my uncle is really a good husband.
"Why are you here?"
When Zhang saw her husband Wei Dong coming over, her face was cold, but her heart was extremely happy.
"Come and see my mother, why did you forget to take anything, oh, this is the clothes I brought you, and your favorite pastries, and a little money, your nieces are here, why don't you buy some food for them?"
Wei Donglai handed the folded burden to Zhang, looked at her with raised eyebrows, and his eyes seemed to say: Look at how good I can talk, I didn't make you lose face, right?
Zhang pouted, silently took the burden, although he didn't speak, but half of his anger had disappeared, and at this moment he was opening the burden, taking out a few pastries that Wei Donglai had packed and distributing them to a few nieces to eat.
Grandma Luo watched happily on the side, her son-in-law knew that it hurt people, and she took care of her daughter-in-law as soon as she had something, it seemed that her worries last night were all blind worries, and her son-in-law was indeed a good man and husband.
Liu Guiyuan had the intention to leave the two of them talking, greeted Grandma Luo, and took the eldest sister and the second sister to Liu Jindi's house to rub ice powder, Grandma Luo was more direct, she went to the fourth grandmother's house with lotus seeds, and said before leaving: "Come to winter, Xiangqiao, you two have a good talk here, I'll go back to find someone to chat."
Liu Guiyuan followed behind the eldest sister and the second sister, and told them what she heard in a hazy manner last night, and the second sister said: "I seem to have heard a sentence or two, but then I fell asleep too sleepy." Eldest sister, you said that my aunt can't really give birth, right? ”
Liu Hongzao patted her and said, "What do you say, how can our little girl talk about whether she is alive or not, but then again, I'm also quite worried, we women have always suffered from this." ”
Liu Guiyuan pulled a dog's tail grass, knitted it into a bracelet and wore it to play, and when he heard that they were so worried, he proposed: "Otherwise, let's let my aunt go to the town to see if the doctor can give birth, what is the problem, then the doctor has the final say, what is the use of what we say?" ”
It's best to let your aunt and uncle go to see it together, so that you can determine whether there is a hidden danger of childbirth, but in this time and space, it is quite a shame to see this kind of disease, and I am afraid that my aunt will not want to go.
"It's not good for me and your second sister to say this to your grandmother, Guiyuan, you are easy to say, but you can't say it directly, otherwise your grandmother will know that we eavesdropped on them, and my aunt is thin-skinned, and it will be embarrassing to see us in the future." Liu Hongjube is larger, and his heart is more detailed.
Liu Guiyuan looked at her eldest sister, and then at her second sister, suddenly her eyes rolled, and she had a good idea: "Second sister, I have to rely on your help in this matter." ”
Liu Huahua touched his nose and said incomprehensibly: "How can I help, it's not appropriate for me to say it?" ”
Liu Guiyuan pointed to her face and said: "Second sister, your face should be cured, I forgot about it a few days ago, this time you and your aunt went to see the doctor, and I said ..... in front of my grandmother."
Liu Huahua subconsciously covered his face, didn't dare to think about it, and said: "People say that my face is natural, even if it can't be cured, I think it's better to forget it, don't waste that money, Guiyuan, you can think of other excuses." ”
Liu Guiyuan was anxious, her second sister's face bite was no longer cured, but it really became permanent, and she hurriedly persuaded her bitterly, and the eldest sister also followed suit, Liu Huahua didn't listen to persuasion at first, but she longed for a white face in her heart, and finally reluctantly agreed under the persuasion of the two.
When the ice powder was kneaded on this day, the three sisters of the Liu family returned home, and the uncle had already gone back, but the aunt did not follow, and was still helping to sweep the floor and cook at her house.
This is just right, which is conducive to Liu Guiyuan's actions.
In the evening, while the Zhang family was taking a bath in the house, Liu Guiyuan pulled Grandma Luo outside to talk, saying that the second sister's face had been bad, and she wanted to find a doctor in the town to take a look.
"It's okay to see, but I don't know if it can be cured, her face was more obvious when she was a child, or I went to the mountains to pick herbs to soak in the light, and then I asked your mother to take her to the town to see, but at that time, your father and mother were not separated, and every penny was in the hands of your grandmother, and your mother couldn't help it."
Grandma Luo thought of Liu Peanut's pockmarked face, and couldn't help sighing, remembering that Peanut was all over her face when she was born, and Grandma Peanut was tired of it, and said that it was not easy for such a girl to marry when she grew up, so it was better to throw it away as soon as possible and have a good one.
Liu Guiyuan found an opportunity, held Grandma Luo's arm, and said something: "If you don't look at the doctor, you will definitely not be cured, if you look at the doctor, you will have a fifty percent chance, if the doctor in the town can't do it, then go to Fucheng to see, there are always people with excellent medical skills, but we haven't met." Grandma, is there any problem with her body, wouldn't it be clear if you ask a doctor? ”
After Liu Guiyuan left, Grandma Luo pondered her words, thinking that Guiyuan girl was really a ghost elf, I was afraid that she listened to what she said to Xiangqiao last night. That's it, since a few juniors have a heart, it is better to take this opportunity to ask Xiangqiao to go to the town to have a look, if you really have to deal with it quickly, they are a few women, and it is not okay to deceive themselves all day long.
The next morning, Grandma Luo pushed Zhang's out of the door and said to Liu Huahua and Liu Guiyuan, who were also going out: "You two go to the town to see the doctor, ask your aunt to accompany you, and you two children go, I'm afraid I won't remember the doctor's instructions." ”
Grandma Luo deliberately said it to the two of them, and the two sisters understood it, and hurriedly said that their children couldn't understand the doctor's words, and their aunt accompanied them over to be fine.
Zhang didn't know that her mother asked her to go to the town to see a doctor, which was facilitated by a few nieces, and she still cooperated with Grandma Luo: "That's okay, I'll take them there, and by the way, I will also diagnose the pulse and see how my body is recently." ”
When they arrived in the town, the three of them went to a medical hall called Ji'an Tang, and the doctor who sat in the hall was an elderly man.
The old doctor treated his left and right hands for a long time, and finally stroked his beard and said, "You are in good health, a little impatient, prescribe you some Xiaoyao pills, take them back and take a few servings." ”
Liu Guiyuan was anxious, this old doctor dared not see her face full of freckles, thinking that they were here to see the disease, and said: "Old doctor, my second sister is in good health, she wants to treat the spots on her face, can you prescribe medicine here?" ”
The old doctor glared at her and complained, "Why didn't you say it earlier, so that I could diagnose my pulse in vain." Then he stared at Liu Huaanhua's face and looked at it for a while before saying, "You don't need to take medicine, I'll tell you a few ways to remove freckle, just go home and try it yourself." ”
The old doctor said two prescriptions, one is to dry and grind the loofah into powder to coat the face, and the other is to use pearl powder to apply the face, anyway, in his words, if you want to remove freckle, you have to insist on it every day, and it will automatically disappear after a long time.
Liu Huahua was a little depressed when she heard that she didn't need to boil medicine, she thought that the doctor had some panacea here, and she could take it for a few days in a row to get rid of the spots, but it still didn't work.
"When I was a child, my mother used loofah powder to paint my face, but it didn't work, the doctor said that the pearl powder method of applying the face, I haven't heard of it, but the pearl is expensive, I don't know how many taels to apply, what if you want to still can't cure it?"
Liu Huaanhua got up in disappointment, turned around and went outside the medical hall, knowing that she wouldn't come out with her, and she wouldn't be disappointed if there was no hope.
Liu Guiyuan hurriedly grabbed her and said to her aunt: "Auntie, you can check the pulse, the second sister is unhappy, I will accompany her to walk outside and come back later." ”
Zhang's heart comforted Liu Huahua, but she pretended to have something in her heart, at this moment
When Liu Guiyuan said this, she hurriedly nodded and told them to walk carefully.
I walked up to the old doctor and asked him to check his pulse.
At this end, Liu Guiyuan persuaded her second sister: "Second sister, don't be sad, loofah powder is not good, let's use pearl powder, now there is no shortage of money at home, that is, all the money is used to buy pearl powder, and we can afford it, right?" ”
After persuading for a long time, Liu Huahua calmed down, touched his cheek and said, "Then let's wait outside for a while and then go buy pearl powder, my aunt is inside, it's not good for us to go now." ”
Liu Guiyuan had his own thoughts, so he said: "The pearl powder sold by each family is different in price and condition, why don't you go to the front hospital and ask, second sister, I will go to the rouge shop in the back to see, if we want to buy it, we can buy pearl powder with good color, do you say?" ”
Liu Huaanhua thought about it reasonably, broke up with Liu Guiyuan, turned his head and walked in the direction of the medical hall in front, Liu Guiyuan didn't move at his feet, and only then turned a corner when he saw her walk away, and walked to a stall selling wild medicine.
The man who bought the wild medicine was a middle-aged man, dressed as a monk, with a goatee, sitting behind a long table, carrying a red banner with the words "ancestral secret recipe, medicine to cure the disease", and on the table there were a dozen bottles of different sizes, some with words written on them, and some without even writing.
Liu Guiyuan was very suspicious, this person who sold wild medicine, I was afraid that he couldn't remember what pills were in the bottle. This kind of people, except for very few people who really understand medical skills, are basically selling fake drugs to fool people, but the poor people who can't afford to buy medicine, when they meet them, it is like encountering hope, even if they know that the medicine is somewhat problematic, they will still buy it home, and the dead horse will be regarded as a live horse doctor.
Liu Guiyuan glanced at the bottles and cans, and casually pointed to a bottle of medicine and asked, "What is this cure, how much does it cost?" ”
The middle-aged man glanced at her, didn't care, and said slowly: "Twenty yuan a pack, treat knife wounds and burns, and you can heal in one day." ”
Liu Guiyuan laughed when he heard this, and said, "How much money can you earn by setting up a stall for a day?" I have a deal here, I don't want you to pay a penny, as long as you move your mouth, you can earn a hundred yuan, do you want to do it? ”
After listening to Liu Guiyuan's "business", the middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, stretched out a big hand, and said calmly: "Five hundred Wen." ”
