Chapter 7: The Barefoot Doctor
Zhu Hanyan wears a white coat with a dark blue tunic, and his neat and meticulous collar can glimpse the rigor of his character. The dignified-looking woman beside him was carrying a medicine box, which was his wife Chen Yuzhi. Yuzhi is a BJ person. The students who settled in the queue with Dr. Zhu back then. The two relied on each other in a foreign land and eventually tied the knot.
"Over the mountains." Doctor Zhu said hello and glanced at Poria on the table. In an instant, he opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it, and stepped over excitedly, "What a big Poria cocos!" ”
He touched and looked around Poria, turned around a few times, and couldn't stop the smile on his face.
"I have been in Yunlai Village for nearly 20 years, and it is the first time I have seen such a big and good-looking wild Poria cocos!" He turned his head and asked Yueshan, "What, you found it?" I said, "How did you remember to dig up the roots of a pine tree?" Hahaha, good luck. ”
"Dad, it was Ling Mei who dug it up." Jun Xiao hurriedly explained for the Xiao family.
"Lingmei?" Dr. Zhu's eyes lit up, this girl is so beautiful? I couldn't help but sigh, "That's why I want to read." If you read a book, you will know more knowledge, and you will have more opportunities. ”
When Ling Mei heard this, she nodded with affection.
Seeing this, Chen Yuzhi went to the house to make a few cups of tea and came out: "Are you tired of coming down from the mountain?" Ame, drink tea. She looked at Ling Mei's beautiful face, and thought to herself, Ling Mei has not grown into such a look, and she doesn't know what she will be like in a few years. I don't know which boy in the village has this blessing and picked this flower. She glanced at her son's gaze glued to Ling Mei's body and smiled.
Dr. Zhu took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Since you have sent Poria to my house." Then I'm not polite to you. This wild Poria cocos is indeed precious, but it is not so precious as ginseng and shou wu. ”
Ling Mei Xiao's father nodded in agreement.
Dr. Zhu's heart was relieved, and he continued: "I won't lose you either. Such a large Poria cocos is indeed rare, and the current price on the market ranges from 20 to 30 per pound according to quality. ”
Dad Xiao immediately said: "Thanks to Dr. Zhu's care in our village, you can just make it cheaper." ”
Dr. Zhu's smile was even thicker: "I can't let you suffer." You have three babies who want to study. ”
In the end, it was finalized at 26 yuan a catty, and the six-pound Poria cocos was sold for 156 yuan.
With the money, Daddy Xiao and Ling Meihuan went back happily.
didn't take a few steps, Jun Xiao took a small paper bag and chased after it and handed it to Ling Mei: "My family's own wolfberry tea." When you are tired from reading at night, make a cup and clear your eyes. ”
Daddy Xiao turned his head sideways, and his heart was sour.
Mei thanked her slightly embarrassed and walked quickly.
Daddy Xiao muttered behind him: Hmph, climb a fart! We still can't look down on you.
When he got home, Dad Xiao gave Luo Guixiang the money for Poria to collect.
Luo Guixiang was overjoyed, and looked at Ling Mei's voice softened a little: "Tomorrow I will buy meat early in the morning, and buy two mackerel to make fish balls to eat." ”
Ling Yun clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, there is meat to eat, and fish balls to eat." ”
Ling Mei is also looking forward to Luo Guixiang's cooking skills.
Only Ling Huihu looked at his sister suspiciously: "Is it the Poria you found?" ”
Ling Mei glanced at her fellow brother and said indifferently, "Yes." Without waiting for him to ask, he continued, "There is a geographical chronicle in the school, and the picture of Poria is hanging in the school library." ”
Ling Hui stopped squeaking. Even if you know what Poria looks like and where it grows, it is indeed Ling Mei's luck to really find Poria cocos.
Fortunately, with this money, the tuition fees of the two siblings at the beginning of the year do not have to worry. His mother had already told him that after Ling Mei was married, the tuition and bride price saved would be enough for him to go to college.
Early the next morning, Ling Mei went to the vegetable field according to her daily habit to collect fresh vegetables and came back to wash the stove. When I returned to the hall after finishing my work, I saw a bowl of noodles batter, fried dough sticks, shrimp, tofu, and half an egg on the dining table, which was full of aroma.
Ling Hui Lingyun ate with a fragrant mouth.
Her mother smiled and said, "You can eat it while it's hot." I'm going to help you prepare lunch. ”
Ling Mei secretly laughed: Luo Guixiang is also a good woman. As long as she can make enough money, she will not be stingy or embarrassed.
The pastry is delicious and delicious. Ling Mei ate her stomach and her body was warm, and she went to school with a food box.
Luxu Town is three kilometers away from Yunlai Village. It's not too far, but walking back and forth on foot every day, the road conditions are bad and tiring enough. It is not easy for the original owner to support it for so long.
Ling Mei finally walked to the road leading to the town outside the village, and the bell of the bicycle rang behind her.
"Ling Mei."
Ling Mei turned her head when she heard the sound, and a picture of almost dreamlike colors jumped in front of her.
At the beginning of the red sun, in the morning glow of the sky, a handsome and lovely young man dressed in a white shirt, black hair flying, riding a bicycle, landed in front of her like a sun god.
"Ling Mei. What are you in a daze? ”
Zhu Junxiao patted her head gently: "Get in the car." ”
Up, on?
Ling Mei searched her memory, and then remembered that since she went to the town to study in junior high school, Zhu Junxiao would wait for her on the road outside the village, no matter the wind or rain. It's been nearly three years.
No wonder the original owner has a Jun Xiao brother, and he is really a good brother of his childhood sweetheart.
She was not hypocritical, sitting in the back seat of the car, clutching the clothes around Jun Xiao's waist. made Mei secretly sad for the original owner and the boy. The cruelest thing in this world is that people who love each other are separated from each other. Fortunately, evil will be rewarded, and you two will also be avenged.
Zhu Junxiao happily sang about learning from the best example, and rode all the way to school. Then told Ling Mei like an old mother: "Listen carefully in class, and wait for me to pick you up after class." If you don't understand, you can sort it out and ask me. ”
Ling Mei nodded: "Okay." ”
The classmates who passed by greeted her: "Xiao Lingmei, your brother is so good, he sends you to school every day." ”
Ling Mei smiled and entered the school with her classmates: "Yes." ”
Ling Mei was afraid of gossip from her classmates, and claimed that Jun Xiao was her cousin in the village.
Xianyun Junior High School is not big, it was rebuilt from an abandoned cotton factory before liberation, and there are playgrounds, basketball courts, canteens, and everything else that should be. The school does not have a cafeteria for lunch, but a hot meal service is provided. In the morning, the lunch boxes brought by the students were placed on the shelves outside the cafeteria. At noon, the cafeteria master puts the steamed lunch boxes back on the shelves for the students to pick up.
In this era of material poverty, everyone's lunch box is almost the same rectangular box made of aluminum skin, so it is indispensable, and everyone engraves their names on the lid. Father Xiao was ingenious and carved plum blossoms with stamens with a knife on the lid of his daughter's box. Engraved on his son's lunch box is a small sunny sun.
Ling Hui was very disgusted with his father's creativity, and made up his name by himself by the sun, Ling Mei only felt that his father was ingenious and liked this plum blossom very much.
Walking into the classroom, her tablemate Tang Xiaoqin beckoned to her vigorously: "Ling Mei, come on, you help me, I didn't come up with this question for an hour last night!" ”
