Chapter 10: Falling Ill
In the next few days, Li Laohan fed Erlang much more carefully.
To his surprise, it was Qin Liu who fell first.
On this day, according to the previous time, Qin Liu should go out of the house for breakfast, and after handing over Erlang to him, he went out to the dumpling shop to be busy.
But the door of the West House never opened, but there was Erlang's babbling voice, but Qin Liu's soft voice could not be heard to comfort Erlang.
Li Laohan asked Da Lang to knock on the door, only to hear Qin Liu's vague response, but he didn't open the door for a long time.
Li Laohan was not at ease, but still smashed the door open.
Erlang on the kang crawled around, leaning on the wall to learn to walk, and he was having a lot of fun, but Qin Liu was lying still, his face flushed, covered with a thick quilt but still shivering.
Li Laohan was shocked in his heart: This is a swing!
From person to person, one out of three people will die!
After thinking for a while, Li Laohan made up his mind: "Da Lang, watch the door carefully, if my brother is hungry, there is cooked porridge on the stove, you scoop a bowl and feed it to Erlang!" “
Li Laohan grabbed the two small benches with his hands, moved his body with difficulty, and walked outside the house.
Da Lang was a little flustered: "Grandpa, where are you going?" “
"Your mother is sick, I have to ask a doctor!"
Da Lang is too young, and he may be abducted by the flower child when he goes out, so he still has to go to the doctor in person!
As soon as Li Laohan turned out of the courtyard door, he saw Ma Yue running over at the end of the road: "Uncle, why did you come out?" What about my sister-in-law? ”
Old Man Li's dark face wrinkled his facial features together: "She's sick,!" Second nephew Ma, hurry, go and help me get a doctor! ”
Ma Yue was suspicious, and went to the Li family to inspect it. Qin Liu, who was still sleeping on the kang, was flushed and his forehead was hot.
Ma Yue didn't stay long, and ran away like a smoke.
As soon as Li Laohan relied on two small benches to move back to the house, he saw Ma Yue carrying a medical kit in one hand and Dr. Qian in the town in the other hand into the courtyard in a hurry.
Dr. Qian is a Sven man in his forties, and he is very disdainful of Ma Yue's behavior of almost dragging him over, his eyes are disdainful, and his mouth keeps complaining: "Presumptuous! Let go, you stinky boy, it's really insulting! ”
Ma Yue dragged Dr. Qian into the West House, only then did he let go of Dr. Qian, and apologized while making a gesture: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Master Qian, you don't remember the villain, please take a look at the patient, it's really a ...... delay."
Seeing that Ma Yue's apology was sincere, Dr. Qian was full of eagerness, and there were beads of sweat the size of beans on his head, so he had to suppress his anger and carefully show Qin Liu to Wen Wangche.
"Although this little lady is overworked, the invasion of cold evil, the cause of high fever is the" cradle carbuncle ", taking decoction is one thing, the key is to dredge the induration in time, if the dredging is not timely, suppuration, the consequences will be serious!"
Ma Yue's eyes widened, and he didn't understand Dr. Qian's words at all.
Doctor Qian glared back, clasped his hands weakly, and grabbed his chest: "This is it!" Empty the stagnant milk as soon as possible to avoid suppuration! ”
Ma Yue finally understood what Dr. Qian meant, and the young man's wheat-colored face was swollen and red, and he couldn't say a word.
Dr. Qian wrote down the prescription and asked him to grab the medicine and boil it for the patient to take as soon as possible, and also emphasized the importance of breastfeeding.
Ma Yue's face turned red, he didn't dare to look at Qin Liu, who was still asleep on the kang, and went to grab the medicine like a gust of wind.
After a while, Aunt Ma trotted all the way to Li's house, carrying a few pairs of medicines in her hands. She handed the medicine to Li Laohan, asked him to boil it, and closed the door when she entered the Westinghouse.
The room soon resounded with Qin Liu's cry of pain and Aunt Ma's voice of relief.
After dark, Sister Ma Feng and Ma Ang came to Li's house, and when they entered the courtyard, they happened to watch Aunt Ma go out with Erlang who was babbling and talking. Aunt Ma was scolding Erlang with a pampering face: "You stinky boy, it's not that you don't eat well, and your mother has a serious illness!" ”
Erlang clapped his hands milkily and said, "Big! ”
Sister Ma Feng burst out laughing.
Ma Ang scanned the lighted window of the Westinghouse with a serious face, and asked Aunt Ma, "Mother, is there anything wrong?" There was a hint of nervousness in his voice.
Aunt Ma sighed, turned around and looked at the window of the Westinghouse and said, "It's really not easy!" ”
Aunt Ma's mother and son helped Li Laohan to rest the two children and Qin Liu'an before leaving.
On the way home, Sister Ma Feng looked at her silent mother and eldest brother, and mentioned thoughtlessly: "Today, the second girl of the Lei family came to talk to me in the shop." ”
Seeing that the two of them were speechless, she became a little bolder and continued: "It is said that Master Lei wants to marry her to Xuanfu and make a small family for a big family. She cried and said no. She also said that her sister owes our family a favor, and she came to repay ......"
Mr. Lei is a wealthy family in the town, and his ancestors have lived here for generations, and his family was originally wealthy. Last year, the Tartars robbed his house, killed Master Lei's wife, kidnapped several of his concubines, and set fire to the Lei family's house.
The eldest girl of the Lei family married into the Xuan Mansion, and Master Lei took his son and daughter to the eldest girl's in-law's house as a guest, but escaped the catastrophe.
Aunt Ma glanced at Ma Ang, who was silent, sighed and said, "The marriage between the eldest girl of the Lei family and you was originally decided by the old lady of the Lei family who was grateful to your father for saving his life.
It's just that your father offended the commander back then and sold all his belongings to get together the money for the military horses that were fined. The old lady of the Lei family and your father have passed away, and our family is in decline, and it is reasonable for the Lei family to look down on it.
Now that our family has opened a shop, everyone in the town can see that although it is not rich, it can be regarded as a worry-free food and clothing.
The second girl of the Lei family has the idea of returning the favor, which is also human nature. What do you mean, Boss?
You're twenty-two years old, and it's time for you to start a family. ”
Ma Ang said in a low voice: "Our military households have always been inferior. Now that I have just been appreciated by Lord Zheng, but I haven't become an official yet, how can I get that blessing to marry the young lady of the Lei family? ”
Sister Ma Feng pouted and complained: "Then what do you think is suitable for you?" "By the way, I kicked a stone on the road into a small ditch on the side of the road.
There were also a few little sisters who came to Sister Ma Feng to bite their ears before, and it was her eldest brother Ma Ang who was talking about it. Sister Ma Feng is a clever person, where can you not see what they mean?
It's just that seeing that their family has opened a shop in the past few months, and their business is booming, and their lives are a lot more comfortable, they want to recommend themselves to get married.
Sister Ma Feng and her eldest brother have mentioned one or two times, but even she herself can't look down on those little sisters who hate the poor and love the rich, where is she willing to let them marry in and be her sister-in-law? After her father's death, when the family was so poor that they couldn't open the pot, the little sisters all cut off contact with her, and when they met her on the road, they should pretend not to know her, for fear that she would mention the matter of borrowing money.
However, even the young lady of the Lei family in the town fell in love with the eldest brother, and Sister Feng still felt a little flattered. Miss Lei is an unattainable figure in Shabaozi Town. If it weren't for the disaster suffered by the Lei family last year, and now they need to have more contact with the guard, where would they be able to look down on her eldest brother?
