Chapter 14: The Sensible Is Distressing (Ask for Follow-up)
"These two kids are really good..."
Pei Xueyan asked with a smile: "I just listened to what you mean, do you want to make a living for their brothers and sisters?" ”
"Yes."
Liu Shen nodded and said, "Yuan Xiaofei's kid is not bad in nature, and he is also a clever person, I promised to help him make a living." ”
"Introduce him to the docks?"
"Not bad."
"Have you ever wondered..."
Pei Xueyan pondered for a while and asked, "His small body, can he bear the hardships you once suffered?" The kind of place on the dock is not suitable for their brother and sister to live? ”
“……”
Liu Shen was silent, because what Pei Xueyan said was exactly what he was thinking about.
Seeing this, Pei Xueyan took a sip of tea, and joked with a smile: "It seems that you should have thought about these problems." ”
"I thought about it..."
Liu Shen sighed, arched his hand and said, "But I can't think of any good way for a while, I don't know what the young grandmother thinks?" ”
"It's not a high opinion..."
Pei Xueyan put down the teacup in her hand and asked, "Aren't you going to make a living for them?" How about this Tongda Hall? ”
“……”
Liu Shen was stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't understand what she meant, or he understood, but he couldn't believe it.
"As you just saw."
Pei Xueyan looked around and said, "When this Tongdatang is busy, there will be not enough manpower, and I am preparing to ask the shopkeeper here to find a few more apprentices." ”
She said in a pause, and said with a narrow smile on her face: "Then Yuan Xiaofei and Xiao Yuhong don't look stupid, they not only have food, housing and monthly money to be apprentices in Tongda Hall, but also learn some crafts, it shouldn't be considered to bury their brothers and sisters, right?" ”
"It's... Is it appropriate..."
Liu Shen was shocked by this sudden kindness.
Being an apprentice in Tongdatang is a job that ordinary people can only get by relying on relationships and giving gifts, but it is much better than being a coolie at the dock...
"What's inappropriate?"
Pei Xueyan's thin lips took a sip of tea and said, "Tongdatang is one of the industries of the Song family, and I am the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Song family, but it is just a matter of one sentence." ”
“……”
Liu Shen's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he saw a dazzling brilliance called 'rich woman' in her...
He took a long sigh of relief, got up and arched his hand, and said, "Then I will thank the young grandmother for their brother and sister first!" ”
"You're welcome."
Pei Xueyan saw him admit his feelings, and the corners of her lips rose slightly, but she pretended to be ignorant and asked: "By the way, among the few people who went to the Song family ancestral hall to carry the Bodhisattva statue last time, is there anyone who can do arithmetic?" ”
"Arithmetic?"
Liu Shen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked, "But I don't know why the young grandmother asked this?" ”
"I'm just curious."
Pei Xueyan explained: "After the Bodhisattva statue in the ancestral hall was carried away, I accidentally saw an extremely advanced arithmetic on the ground, so I was a little curious about who wrote such advanced arithmetic. ”
“……”
Liu Shen couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he heard her talk about the arithmetic on the ground of the Song family ancestral hall, and said curtly: "That arithmetic is not profound." ”
"That's not that profound?"
Pei Xueyan pretended to be surprised and said: "I asked myself if I knew some arithmetic, and the accounts of the Song family's properties could also be checked, but when I looked at the arithmetic, I couldn't understand it, so I was curious." ”
"I'm ashamed."
Liu Shen arched his hand and explained: "The arithmetic is actually written by me to calculate the weight of the stone statue, but I just used some symbols that only I can understand, and it is not really profound. ”
"You wrote the arithmetic?"
Pei Xueyan covered her mouth when she heard this, and looked very excited and asked, "Then can you teach me arithmetic?" ”
"This ......"
Liu Shen saw that the dignified and generous young grandmother of the Song family in front of her actually asked a little dock porter to teach her arithmetic, and she was a little complacent and a little funny at the same time.
He said with a sneer: "I'm just a laborer on the dock, and the young grandmother's intelligence is ten times higher than mine, how can I teach the young grandmother arithmetic?" ”
Pei Xueyan pursed her lips when she heard this, and muttered with some taste in her expression: "A dock worker who knows arithmetic and understands poetry?" ”
“……”
Liu Shen saw that she showed a little woman's posture that was diametrically opposed to Fang Cai's dignified generosity, and inexplicably felt that this young grandmother of the Song family had a cute contrast...
It was lovely.
At this moment, a small servant knocked on the door and came in to pass the word: "Young grandmother, Dr. Zhang wants to meet this guest officer." ”
When Liu Shen heard this, he also knew that this was the doctor's diagnosis and treatment plan, and he wanted to meet his 'parent', so he got up and resigned.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Yu Hong is still young, I have to go and see what the situation is."
"It's okay left and right, I'll go check it out too."
"There's a young grandmother."
Pei Xueyan saw Liu Shen follow the little guy out of the door, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and also got up and followed them out.
In the outer hall consultation room.
Xiao Yuhong took off her shoes and socks and sat aside, revealing the sloped foot, while Dr. Zhang gently pressed the bulge at her calf with his fingers, and his brows were tightly locked.
Yuan Xiaofei on the side nervously grabbed the corner of his clothes, and only when he saw Liu Shen come in did he breathe a sigh of relief: "Brother Shen." ”
"Don't worry."
Liu Shen comforted him, and when he saw the old doctor's posture, his heart was also abrupt, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Doctor Zhang, can this leg disease of my sister be diagnosed and treated?" ”
"Can be can..."
Doctor Zhang wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a long time before sighing and said: "Sister Ling's leg was fractured in the early years, and it has not been treated, so it will grow naturally, and the bone has grown out of place. Nowadays, if you want to diagnose and treat, you need to break the misaligned bone of the leg, and then grow it again after connecting the bone, which is extremely painful and takes a long time to recover. ”
“……”
The people present all sighed when they heard this, after all, the long misaligned bones were broken and regregated, and the process felt numb just by listening to it.
Liu Shen looked at Xiao Yuhong, who was only ten years old, and couldn't bear it, and asked, "Doctor Zhang, is there any other way to diagnose and treat it?" ”
"That's the only way to do it."
Doctor Zhang shook his head and said: "It's not child's play that the bones are long and misplaced, Ling Mei is young, and the bones are not fully developed, so it can be diagnosed and cured with this method; If an adult is like her, it will not help if she is afraid of breaking the bones and reconnecting them. ”
“……”
Liu Shen's breath stagnated, looking at Yuan Xiaofei who was lowering his head and clutching the corners of his clothes, and looking at Xiao Yuhong, who was sitting on the couch and feeling uneasy, his heart was inexplicably heavy.
He sat next to Xiao Yuhong, rubbed her head and asked, "Sister Hong, are you afraid of pain?" ”
"I'm not afraid of pain."
The little girl shook her head, bit the corner of her lip and said timidly: "But the doctor said that the recovery time is very long, Brother Shen, or... Or forget it. ”
She was only six years old when she was abandoned by her relatives, but she had already remembered it at the age of six, so she was extremely sensitive in her heart.
She is not afraid of pain, but she is afraid of causing trouble to others, afraid of burdening others because she spends more money, and she is even more afraid of being abandoned as a burden again... I'm scared...
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Liu Shen looked at the sensible distressed little girl, and said, "I told you when I came, since I brought you here, you are not allowed to think about the silver, you know?" ”
“……”
Xiao Yuhong looked at him and nodded obediently.
Liu Shen was also looking at her and asked, "Tell Brother Shen, do you want to make this leg better?" ”
"I want to..."
The little girl nodded timidly.
"Just think about it!"
Liu Shen grinned and asked, "The doctor said, your leg can be cured!" But to break a bone, it can be very painful and painful! Tell Brother Shen, are you afraid of pain!? ”
The little girl gritted her teeth and replied, "Don't be afraid!" ”
"Then cure it!"
