Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Old Man Is Not That Kind of Man
Xu Qiang turned his head to look at Xu Damao, and asked in a deep voice: "Brother, do you remember this Huang Xiaoya?" ”
Xu Damao immediately nodded like garlic: "I remember, when I went to their commune to show a movie, she said that I would give her a place in the front row." ”
After speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Huang Xiaoya, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, when he went to the countryside to show movies, he often ate chicken at the villager's house.
At the beginning, he was also afraid of having children, so he also did some protective measures, but then there were a few times when he was hooked up with by a few widows and he was too anxious to get started, and then nothing happened, so he was relieved and no longer considered any protective measures.
Therefore, he can't figure out whether the child in Huang Xiaoya's belly is his own, and to be honest, he is also a film projectionist in a rolling mill, and now he is a team leader, even if he wants to get married, he has to find a city with a hukou and a job, how can he find a country girl?
The onlookers in the courtyard were originally very disdainful of Xu Damao's coaxing of other little girls, but as soon as they heard it, they took the initiative to deliver the goods to the door for a front row position when watching the movie, and for a while, this disdain turned to Huang Xiaoya.
Huang Xiaoya is a little girl after all, thin-skinned, and feeling that so many people are staring at her, she subconsciously shrank behind her father Huang Ercai, and her head is about to touch her chest.
Xu Qiang turned his head to look at Huang Ercai again, and asked in a deep voice: "Uncle Huang, this matter is not negotiable, do you have to talk about it in the courtyard?" ”
Huang Ercai snorted coldly: "We are all from the village, and we don't have as many fancy intestines as you people in the city, so we are interviewed in front of the big guys in the courtyard." ”
Xu Qiang sneered, looked at Huang Ercai, and said in his heart I originally wanted to save some face for you and your girl, but you yourself are shameless, so don't blame me for not being emotional.
"Okay, since Uncle Huang wants to talk in the yard, then let's talk in the yard, you said that your daughter Huang Xiaoya is pregnant, is there any evidence?"
Huang Ercai was prepared, and immediately took out a folded piece of paper from his trouser pocket and unfolded it for Xu Qiang to see, and everyone around him also poked their heads to look:
Those who can read and write can understand at a glance: this is a certificate issued by a township hospital, proving that Huang Xiaoya is three months pregnant, and there is an official seal at the bottom, and even the doctor who examined it has signed and pressed his fingerprint.
People in these years are not like those who dare to forge anything like they played in later TV dramas, since they have an official seal, it means that Huang Xiaoya is definitely pregnant.
When the onlookers saw this proof, some pointed at Xu Damao, some pointed at Huang Xiaoya and discussed, all with strange smiles on their faces, all of them were not big enough to watch the excitement.
When Xu Damao saw this certificate, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, if this Huang Xiaoya was really pregnant, the other party might not really want to marry this country girl.
Xu Qiang nodded, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face: "It's a good thing to be pregnant." ”
After speaking, his eyes swept over the crowd, and he found an old man with gray hair from the lively crowd, and walked quickly and said:
"Grandpa Xia, you have been a doctor all your life, you treated the emperor in the palace when you were young, and later you treated the officials of the Republic of China, and now you are invited to be a doctor by the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, even if this medical skill is put in the entire Sijiu City."
Xu Qiang gave the old man a thumbs up as he spoke.
Xia Ming is almost seventy years old this year, living in the courtyard next door, although he has good medical skills, but he is very humble.
He knew what Xu Qiang meant by calling him out, and immediately said with a smile: "Haha, I don't deserve such praise from your kid for my little medical skills, although we live in an alley now, but my old man prides himself on having some medical ethics, practicing medicine and saving people all his life, always seeking truth from facts, and never cheating." ”
The old man said this very clearly, you can ask me to check the pulse of other girls, but if someone is pregnant, she is pregnant, and I won't talk nonsense.
When Xu Qiang heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Hehe, Grandpa Xia, where do you want to go, Uncle Huang is holding the certificate issued by the township hospital in his hand, I naturally don't doubt it, I want to ask you to check my brother's pulse!" ”
As soon as Xu Qiang's words came out, the onlookers, including Huang Ercai's father and son, all looked at Xu Qiang with wide eyes, not knowing what medicine he was selling in his gourd, and even Xu Damao next to him stared at Xu Qiang with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he was going to do.
Old Man Xia also glanced at Xu Qiang with some surprise, but when he saw him looking at him with a smile, he didn't refuse, and immediately came over and grabbed Xu Damao's wrist to check his pulse.
As the old saying goes, I am not afraid of Chinese medicine smiling, but I am afraid that Chinese medicine has low eyebrows, the old man still had a faint smile on his face at the beginning, but he soon became dignified, and in the end, he glanced at Xu Damao a little strangely, and then turned his head to look at Xu Qiang, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Xu Damao saw that Old Man Xia's face was wrong, and somehow became nervous, and he also glanced at Xu Qiang first, and then looked at the old man cautiously and asked:
"Xia Lao, I'...... Is there anything wrong with my bones? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Old Man Xia again, even Huang Ercai and the three of them were no exception, it was related to the happiness of Xiaoya in the second half of her life, so they couldn't be cautious.
Old Man Xia didn't look at Xu Damao, but looked at Xu Qiang, waiting for him to speak, Xu Qiang coughed lightly, and said: "Grandpa Xia, now you have seen this situation, if you have anything to say, just say it!" ”
As soon as Old Man Xia heard this, he immediately understood, this kind of thing of killing a thousand enemies and losing a thousand or two of his own lives, if he changed to himself...... Ah, phew, the old man is not that kind of person!
However, he still cleared his throat and said: "Xu Damao was seriously injured when he was young and was not treated in time, and although he can do Zhou Gong's principles now, he can't give birth to children. ”
As soon as these words came out, it was no less than a bomb exploding in the yard, and everyone's eyes fell on Xu Damao, weird? Sympathize? Uncanny? There is anything else, Xu Qiang can't understand.
Xu Damao only felt that a muffled thunder suddenly exploded next to his ear, making his whole person dizzy, his body was shaky, and his face was as white as rubbing paper.
Xu Qiang didn't look at him, but instead looked at Huang Ercai and the others, and asked with a smile: "Uncle Huang, isn't your daughter Huang Xiaoya a yellow flower girl, where did the child in her belly come from?" ”
Huang Ercai heard this, his face was almost as black as the bottom of the pot, looking at the certificate in his hand, it was the biggest guarantee for his daughter to marry into the city at the last moment, but at this moment it was like a post urging the prince of Yama, and he only felt hot for a while.
All the eyes followed Xu Qiang's words, and then looked at Huang Xiaoya in unison, especially the big men, looking Huang Xiaoya up and down, the eyes were hot, Huang Xiaoya felt uncomfortable up and down, just like being stripped naked and thrown in the crowd.
