Chapter 159: Break Your Legs
Although the family is from the north, they still prefer rice to wheat.
Wang Xiujuan only learned the next day that there was still rice in the grain seeds that Ning Chengrong exchanged, and she was so happy that after eating, she wanted to take people to carve out a piece of land, hoping to plant rice as soon as possible.
Ning Changrong grabbed Wang Xiujuan, who wanted to go out, "Mother, Uncle Li's leg." β
Wang Xiujuan patted her head gently, and then she remembered what happened to Father Li, the big guy had been busy until the big night last night and didn't have time to look at each other's legs.
"Okay, then I'll go see what his leg is like first."
Wang Xiujuan, an obstetrician and gynecologist, under the training of the original Xiayuan Village villagers, is now wearing many hats, and is a relatively comprehensive doctor, not only can deliver babies, but also treat wind and cold, and she also does the work of connecting bones.
However, she is not just tinkering with other people's bones, she still has a foundation in medicine, plus things like human skeleton information provided by Ning Qingxi, she can also simply correct the bones.
Li's father and his family slept in a cement room, and there were four bunk beds in the large cement room, which was more than enough.
After waking up in the morning, Li Dafeng came over with breakfast.
"Dad, you guys eat something first, let's pad."
Father Li saw that it was a paste with wild vegetables, "Dafeng, I ate your meat bun for nothing last night, and it's nothing if you don't eat it this morning, why don't you tell your father what work you can do?" We ate after we worked. β
Li Dafeng held her stomach, and beside her was Ning Laosan, who was helping her carry the clay pot.
Before his daughter-in-law could say, he spoke first, "Father-in-law, don't worry, let's fill our stomachs first before we have the strength to work, we don't know what we want to do, everyone is arranged by my brother's family, and when you are full, I will take you to ask you what you can do, and when the time comes, you can use your own work to exchange for food at night." β
Father Li was right to think about it, if they were hungry, how could they continue to do this work? However, he made up his mind that when the work was done, he would return the food to his daughter when he got it.
How can there be a matter of a married daughter supporting her own family?
Ning Laosan handed the eggs to his father-in-law and mother-in-law's family, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, you're welcome, now we also have some chickens in the mountains, and there is no shortage of eggs to eat." β
In fact, there is still a shortage of eggs, and the pheasants in the mountains are not easy to domesticate, and the only chickens are bought from outside.
But his father-in-law has just arrived, so he has to let his father-in-law feel his enthusiasm.
Father Li wiped his mouth after drinking the porridge, "Changgui, don't eat the eggs, this is a precious thing, you keep it for yourself." β
After eating a few meals from his son-in-law, he was shameless enough, where was Father Li embarrassed to ask for other people's eggs?
Ning Laosan didn't care about this stubborn old man, he broke an egg, peeled it and put it directly into Father Li's bowl.
"Changguiβ"
Ning Laosan buried his head and continued to peel the eggs of the second brother.
Father Li looked at his daughter, Li Dafeng hung his head, looked away, and smiled secretly.
In this way, the second egg that Ning Laosan peeled was put into his mother-in-law's bowl, and just as he was about to peel the third egg, Father Li finally compromised.
He was happy that his daughter had found such a good husband, but he was also ashamed that he could only drag his daughter down now.
Brother Li and the others were even more embarrassed.
Ning Laosan was happy when he saw that the Li family began to eat eggs: "That's it, I don't want to eat anymore, and if you can eat delicious food in the future, it depends on your own strength, big brother." β
Brother Li nodded again and again, "Don't worry, Changgui, we will definitely do a good job!" β
Father Li's eyes also had a hint of expectation, he had already figured it out yesterday, it turned out that most of them were really the original villagers of Xiayuan Village, and this was his in-laws' family in charge.
That's good, he doesn't have to worry about their family eating white food here. In terms of strength, then their family will not lose to anyone.
Earlier, they said that they would come to consider it and decide whether to stay or not, but last night the family had already discussed it and decided to stay.
"Eating?" Wang Xiujuan carried a small wooden box of hers, and followed Ning Changrong and Ning Qingxi to the place where Li's father and them lived.
Father Li stood up with a stick, "Mother-in-law, Evergreen Xixi is here?" Come in and sit. β
Mother Li stood up and wiped her hands, a little overwhelmed, she barely held up a smile to greet her, "Mother-in-law." You're coming. I don't know what my mother-in-law thought when she saw her daughter coming with so much food, and there were still a lot of eggshells on the table.
Wang Xiujuan knew that these people had just arrived, and she was uneasy because of her daughter.
Looking at the Li family with a panicked face, Wang Xiujuan looked at the eggshell on the table, with a smile on her face, and said to Ning Laosan: "Good job." β
Ning Laosan touched his head and smiled innocently, he knew that his mother would not be so stingy.
Wang Xiujuan said to the Li family: "Your family has been hungry for too long, and your health is too poor, you should eat some eggs to make up for it, I came to see my father-in-law's legs, I was too busy yesterday, and I didn't have time." β
Li Dafeng smiled, she still thought that she would invite her mother to come over after breakfast today, but she didn't expect her mother to come by herself.
"Thank you, mother." She looked at Wang Xiujuan with a grateful face.
Wang Xiujuan put down the treasure box in her hand, which were all surgical tools specially created for her by Ning Qingxi, and no one was allowed to touch them on weekdays.
"Thank you, it's all a family."
The Li family was very grateful, and watched Wang Xiujuan tinkering with Father Li's leg with an expectant expression.
Wang Xiujuan touched the bones for a long time, and she found that the other party's bones were crooked.
"This leg didn't have a straight bone when it was injured, and now it's crooked, if it continues like this, it may be a cripple after it gets better."
Mother Li looked horrified, "This, what's the matter?" β
Father Li's eyes were also a little flustered, his face was a little pale, he originally thought that the leg had less pain and was healing, who would have thought that the bones had grown crooked? If he becomes a cripple after he gets better, won't he become a waste?
Wang Xiujuan stood up, "If this leg is not treated, it can be cured, but after it is cured, it will be a cripple, if you want to cure it, you have to break this bone and heal it again." β
As soon as she heard that she was going to break the bone, Mother Li was so frightened that her face turned pale, and after her old man's leg was smashed and brought back, she was scared to the point that she lost half her life.
Brother Li and the others were also a little hesitant, "Dad, or we won't-"
Father Li raised a hand and interrupted his eldest son's words.
