62 Reciprocity of courtesy
Although Liu Yuan runs a medical center, it is not just one person who can make him pitiful and sympathetic, and there are also people whose families are similar to the Mo family, but he does not have everyone to help. Although what he does is to save people's lives, he is not a bodhisattva of great compassion, let alone a good church. But he was willing to help the Mo family, and Mo Ziyun really made him like it. Second, although the Mo family is poor, they have never thought of taking advantage of themselves, but they have benefited a lot. Moreover, although ginseng is valuable, it is not as pure as Mo Ziyun's heart.
Song Nanzhi didn't expect Dr. Liu to send medicine to him, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you so much Dr. Liu!" After speaking, he immediately asked, "How much do these medicines cost?" ”
The boy replied, "You can give forty wen." ”
As soon as Song Nanzhi heard that it was only forty texts, he immediately knew that the money for this medicine was not calculated correctly, not only did he not count the consultation fee for Dr. Liu's visit, but he was afraid that he did not count the money for his own medicine, "Little brother, are you miscalculated, Dr. Liu is not only this money for this trip, not to mention the medicine for me and the medicine money for these two packs of medicine, you can calculate it carefully!" Song Nanzhi was afraid that this little boy would miscalculate and give less to himself.
Xiao Tong replied with a smile: "Our Doctor Liu said that he came today to come to see the crutches that Miss Wan said, and by the way, take a look at the uncle's legs, Doctor Liu said that after seeing Uncle Mo's crutches today, he has seen a long time." As for the medicine given to the aunt, it is not a valuable medicinal material, and in the past, I didn't eat less of the dishes sent by my aunt, so I thought it was a thank you for the dishes sent by my aunt. ”
Song Nanzhi listened to Xiao Tong's words and said: "Doctor Liu is too polite, those dishes are not worth it, why do you still let him worry about it!" Asking him to give me these good things, didn't he break the bank again! ”
Xiao Tong also liked the simplicity of the Mo family, and said with a smile: "Don't break the cost, don't break the cost." Our doctor Liu also said that when my aunt is empty in the future, he will dig up more medicinal materials and send them to us. ”
Song Nanzhi said gratefully: "Then thank you Dr. Liu and little brother." After saying that, he said, "Wait a minute." ”
As soon as Song Nanzhi finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the stove, and when he came out again after a while, he was full of things in both hands, carrying a basket in the crook of one hand, the basket was filled with a basket of melons, fruits and vegetables, and an old hen in the other hand.
Song Nanzhi approached the boy with a basket and chickens and said: "It's not a good thing, I'm tired of the little brother helping me bring it to Dr. Liu, and then help me say thank you to him, and I'll go to see him when I'm free, and thank him personally." ”
Although Xiao Tong excused himself, Song Nanzhi also sincerely thanked Liu Yuan, and there was Mo Tingyu on the side, so it was impossible to let Xiao Tong go empty-handed, and finally Song Nanzhi personally sent Xiao Tong to the carriage, and personally put a basket of vegetables and a chicken on the carriage that Xiao Tong came from the yard.
After sending the child away, Song Nanzhi was ready to give the medicine to Murong Qingyuan to drink first.
But when Song Nanzhi was about to walk into the stove room with one of the packets of medicine, Murong Qingyuan called out to her, "Grandma Song, wait a minute." ”
When Song Nanzhi turned to look at Murong Qingyuan, he saw him take out a purse from his arms, and counted out forty copper coins from the purse, and after counting it, he handed it to Song Nanzhi and said, "This is my medicine money." ”
Song Nanzhi looked at the copper coin he handed over, and said angrily: "What is this doing, put it away quickly." Although our family is not a rich person, you still have the money to treat your injuries, and besides, your injury is also for us, so there is still a reason for someone to let you pay for medicine. After speaking, he was afraid that he would say something about giving money for dinner in the future, so he continued: "In the future, you will live at home with peace of mind. ”
Mo Tingyu also persuaded after Song Nanzhi's words, "You baby too, if you didn't help their mother-in-law and grandchildren, you wouldn't have been thrown to the ground, this incident was originally caused by us, shouldn't we take on this medical treatment?" It's just a waste of suffering. After a pause, in order to reassure him, he continued: "You can live in this house with peace of mind, don't say anything about money in the future, your Grandma Song is right, if we have a bite to eat, you will have a bite to eat." "Fortunately, life is better now, otherwise I wouldn't dare to let Mo Li live in the house with this baby. As for what to do after he recovers from his injury, let's wait until he is ready!
After appeasing Murong Qingyuan, Song Nanzhi took the medicine and walked to the stove room.
Entering the stove room, looking at Mo Li, who was already cooking on the fire, and the meat she washed on the board, today should have been a happy day, the books that Wan Wan copied earned money again, and the old man's legs were getting better and better, if only he hadn't met those two damn robbers.
He looked at Mo Li and asked, "Have you taken enough rice?" Don't cook it into porridge again. When he said the latter words, Song Nanzhi couldn't help laughing.
The family paid off the arrears and received new grain, and now there is no shortage of money and food. Although there are also more people, there is no shortage of food, and it is no longer as reluctant to use it as before.
It's just that I haven't lacked it before, but I used to owe it, and I always want to save some food, and if I save more, I can sell more money to pay off the debt.
Now that the days are better, I will no longer save this mouthful of food, not to mention cooking dry rice every day to eat, but these days I have also cooked several times, as long as I buy meat back, I will cook dry rice, a big bowl of white rice is bubbling with sharp white rice, and the babies who eat are all holding their stomachs and can't eat anymore.
Song Nanzhi thought about the few days when Mo Li came to the house, he was afraid to cook rice, and he didn't dare to put more rice, and the cooked rice was the same as when they ate it together, only soup was seen in the bowl, but no rice was seen.
Mo Li also laughed, "This time I took two large bowls of rice, it must be enough." ”
Song Nanzhi smiled after hearing this: "Okay, cook more." Then he said: "Let's help grandma take care of the family in Lili, and we have to go to the field to help, but we need to eat more to have strength." ”
After hearing this, Mo Li's heart was warm again, "Grandma, you are better than my own grandmother, and my father and mother are good to me." Then he talked about what happened at home before, "When I was at home before, my grandmother scolded me for losing money, and my parents didn't like me, they only liked my eldest brother and younger brother." Another time I was so hungry that I didn't care to drink water, so I went to the stove to see if I could find something to eat, but I couldn't find anything, and finally I saw an egg in the chicken coop under the eaves in the backyard, so I secretly took the egg out, but I was caught by my milk, and after my milk put the egg away, she pressed me into the water tank and said that she would drown me. ”
What Mo Li didn't finish saying was that not only was her milk going to drown her, but her mother didn't squeak and stop it when she watched from the sidelines, and then his father saw it, saying that he couldn't get a penny after drowning, and he ate the food of the family for so many years.
It was only after her father's words that her grandmother released her from the water tank, and after she was released, she kicked on Mo Li's stomach, not only did not let her change her clothes, but also asked her to wash the water tank and pick a new tank of water, and punished her for not eating at night.
Mo Li just thinks about it now, he can't help but burst into tears, the life he used to live was really not as good as pigs and dogs, pigs and dogs will be fed when the time comes, and they will not be beaten and scolded at any time.
Song Nanzhi thought that Mo Li's previous life was not good, but she didn't know that she had such a difficult time, so she walked to Mo Li's side and held her in her arms, "Good boy, we don't want to go before, it's your father and mother who are blind, and I don't know how to cherish you, otherwise where will I go to pick up your well-behaved granddaughter back." In the future, you will be a member of our Mo family, let's eat eggs every day in the future, not only eggs, but also raise more chickens in the future, and when they grow up, we will kill and eat chicken. ”
This is not the end, Song Nanzhi continued: "When you and your sister Wanyun learn to read and write, you will also copy books to earn money in the future, and save the money yourself and use it slowly, let's let them regret it later." ”
Mo Li sniffed and responded: "Well, I learned from Sister Wanyun well, and I learned that I also copy books to earn money, and earn money to honor grandma and grandpa, I don't want them anymore, they are not my relatives, you are." ”
After comforting Mo Li, Song Nanzhi began to boil medicine. Mo Li saw that he was about to rush to boil the medicine again, Song Nanzhi took the medicine bag in his hand and smiled at Mo Li: "You are still young, I don't know how to boil this medicine, you just cook, and when it is cooked, you can go to your sister to play or study, and I can do the things in the stove room." ”
"I want to be with my grandmother." Mo Li said.
Song Nanzhi said angrily: "You baby, why don't you know how to play!" Later, he said: "If you don't go to follow your sister to read and write, then how can you copy books to make money in the future!" ”
Mo Li agreed: "Okay, when I finish cooking, I'll go to Sister Wanyun and ask her to teach me to read and write." ”
Although Mo Ziyun wanted to buy Mo Li back, and Mo Ziyun had been taking care of her on the way back, but as Mo Ziyun taught her to read and write, all kinds of rules and politeness, when she got along with Mo Ziyun, she gradually became more awe-inspiring in addition to being close, but it was better to let go in front of Song Nanzhi and Mo Tingyu.
Song Nanzhi pursed his lips and laughed, "The babies in other people's families are all cheating and don't want to do things, you guys are good, they don't know how to play one by one, they only know how to do things." If you do this, you and I will be blessed in the future. ”
After Mo Li finished cooking, he went to find Mo Ziyun and prepared to follow her to study. But when he walked to the main house, he heard Mo Ziyun talking to Murong Qingyuan, and Mo Ziyun asked, "Have you read those books?" ”
After Mo Ziyun finished asking, Murong Qingyuan replied: "I have finished reading the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text", and I have also read some "Disciple Rules", and I have memorized some poems, but not much. After finishing speaking, he added, "These are all read when my mother was still there." "When I talked about my mother, I was obviously in a much lower mood.
