Chapter 67: Awkward Father-Daughter Exchange

After Sibao and He Chun'er came back with Dr. Huang, their expressions were a little unnatural, as if they were faintly suppressing their excitement and gratitude.

He Zao took the time to pull Sibao outside, and the latter told her: "Dr. Huang said that he has half a ginseng left over from before, seventy or eighty years old, and the effect is not bad, and it was also inadvertently dug up in the back mountain." He said that it is also placed in it, and our mother needs it now, so let us use it first......"

Noticing He Zao's gaze, he hurriedly explained: "Doctor Huang said that he didn't want money, but how could we really not give money to others, I discussed it with my eldest sister, let's go around the scorpions more, pinch the honeysuckle more, and we have to pay back thirty taels of silver before we win." ”

He Zao didn't know the price of ginseng, but in this ancient time, ginseng was not speculated to a sky-high price like modern times, and the ancient environment was not polluted, and the old ginseng was still relatively easy to find.

She nodded: "Zhong, let's owe it first, and then pay it back when we earn money." ”

In my heart, I was saying that Dr. Huang was still a good person, and he gave seventy or eighty years of ginseng.

Sure enough, as she expected, there were moths in Mrs. He's place again, and it was exactly the same as she thought.

After humming and chirping on the kang for a long time, He Tanger'er asked Dr. Huang bluntly: "Doctor, you said that my mother is always dizzy and has no strength in her body, do you have to take some tonic?" ”

What Dr. Huang said before was: "When people are old, they will make this mistake, and the juniors in the family should let go more on weekdays, and the eldest mother should not always be idle, and the heart should be more relaxed and relaxed!" ”

After listening to He Tanger's words, he lowered his head and thought about it, and then said, "Then eat more hawthorn pills on weekdays." ”

Hawthorn pills are eaten to strengthen the stomach, Dr. Huang said this, it is clear that Mrs. He is not sick and does not need to take medicine at all.

He Tangerine was a little dissatisfied: "The hawthorn tree is all miles on this mountain, how much money can it be worth, can it cure diseases?" Doctor, I often hear people say that when people are old, what kind of ginseng pills, King Kong pills, Quanlu pills or something, it is good for the body and bones, what do you say my mother eats these? ”

Doctor Huang smiled gently and said slowly: "If the eldest lady really wants to eat, then take ginseng pills, but ginseng is a great tonic, you can't eat more, just eat it for a few days." ”

He Tanger'er turned her gaze to He Laosan: "Third brother, did you hear it, the doctor said that our mother's illness was so bad that she could only take ginseng pills, and you brought it to our mother when you bought medicine for your daughter-in-law!" ”

He Laosan didn't know that Dr. Huang gave him half a ginseng, and when he heard this, his face was embarrassed, ginseng is not a common thing, and the price must be expensive, where can he afford it.

He Tanger's eyes widened, and her tone became aggressive: "What, are you reluctant to spend that money?" ”

Mrs. He cooperated with a few painful chirps.

He Zao heard the sound of Sibao beside him taking a deep breath, obviously suppressing his anger. Look at He Chun'er and Qibao again, they all look at Mrs. He as if they are facing a great enemy.

She couldn't help but laugh, an old lady, just by pretending to be sick tossed them into something.

This damn "ruling the country with filial piety"!

She pretended to be naΓ―ve and asked Dr. Huang: "Doctor, how do you sell this ginseng pill?" ”

Doctor Huang smiled: "Ginseng pills are not as expensive as whole ginseng, but they also cost three taels of silver and fifty pieces!" In this case, if you want to eat, you will be hit after half a month. ”

"So expensive!" She opened her eyes wide in surprise, and looked at He Laosan pitifully: "Dad, we don't have much money!" ”

"Why not much, just what you have left now, it's almost enough!" He Tanger's eyes narrowed.

Hmph, I knew that she was thinking about the last bit of silver they had left.

"Doctor Huang, did you say that there is a difference between the hawthorn pill and the ginseng pill? Which works better? She asked, flashing big black eyes.

And Dr. Huang is also a wonderful person, smiling: "Hawthorn pills are more for the illness of the eldest mother!" ”

"Hawthorn pills are worth a few dollars, Doctor Huang, you can't talk nonsense, it must be that the more expensive the medicine, the better!" He Tangerine and Mrs. He glanced at each other and hurriedly replied.

What she said was not good, Dr. Huang put a smile on his face, and his tone was a little light: "As long as the right medicine is prescribed, it is a good medicine, not that which medicine is the most expensive is the best!" ”

He Tangerine choked up.

Old Man He also reprimanded: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, are you a doctor or a doctor Huang, listen to what the doctor said." ”

He asked Dr. Huang kindly: "Is the hawthorn pill the same as the hawthorn we usually eat?" The child has a hawthorn tree in his second grandfather's house, and he also dries the old man's dried hawthorn slices every year, how about eating that? ”

People in the countryside are smart and try not to spend money when they can.

Doctor Huang nodded: "The effect is the same, the hawthorn slices can be soaked in water and drunk for a few days." ”

He Zao struggled to hold back his laughter.

And the faces of Mrs. He and He Tanger's faces were quite ugly.

When the children in the village run out of snacks, they will drink hawthorn tea. After all, it is planted on the back mountain, it is worthless, and it does not feel distressed when you drink it.

Dr. Huang didn't directly say that Mrs. He was pretending to be sick.

Old Man He's face was not very good, but he still sent Dr. Huang out with a smile, and said a lot of thanks.

Mrs. He scolded He Laosan with a calm face, and blasted everyone out, and then everyone heard her and He Tanger'er crying about their lives.

He Zao pouted, whoever stands up to an elder like Mrs. He is the real sufferer.

has been busy for so long, He Laosan has not yet had a good word with his little daughter, and took advantage of the effort to boil the medicine and stumbled and asked, "Zao'er, does it still hurt?" ”

Before the He family finished eating, He Chun'er followed Ma to the kitchen to help.

He came to boil the medicine early, and Sibao and Qibao went to the backyard to feed the pigs and chickens.

She was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what He Laosan meant, and involuntarily touched her face and shook her head: "It doesn't hurt anymore." ”

The kitchen was cooking, and of course there was no place to boil medicine, so He Laosan made a small stove and put it under the eaves of the west wing.

There are the most mosquitoes under the eaves, and the skin of the children in Hezao is tender, and they absorb mosquito bites the most, and there are already several red bumps on the neck and face at this time.

He Laosan's temperament is indeed not suitable for talking with his daughter, so he rubbed his hands and said unnaturally: "Then, if it doesn't hurt, it will be hit, and if it doesn't hurt, it will be hit!" He Zao glanced at him again, paused, and muttered: "Zao'er, your mother didn't mean to ......."

He Zao stopped fanning the fire and responded in a low voice: "Hey, I know." ”

She didn't look at He Laosan, He Laosan also felt very embarrassed, just saw the red bumps on her face, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Yo, I was bitten by mosquito chrysalis on my face earlier, Dad will give you some mint leaves!" Rubbing it won't itch! ”

As he spoke, he raised his feet and walked to the backyard, how did the figure look like a kind of deserted escape.

He Zao glanced up at him, couldn't help laughing, and a trace of emotion seeped out in his heart.

Although He Laosan's temperament is honest and has no great ability, so that their children will also suffer a lot of losses, but there are still benefits.

Just like in ancient times, not every father could notice the marks of mosquito bites on his daughter's face and be willing to pull the mint leaves!

Mint leaves do not have high requirements for growth conditions, and there are wild ones everywhere in the back mountain, so every household in Wuxian Town is planted with mint leaves, just transplant one, and it will be bright next year.
