11 Chapter 11
Today's division of labor and cooperation, it is faster than last time, the sun has not yet set, Ruan Yimian has made fifty pieces of cotton rouge, and eighty sheets have been soaked, but they have not completely dried.
After moving all the rouge to his brother's house, Ruan Yimian went to the stove room to help.
Today, I want to invite the second uncle's family to dinner, Lu Caimei is in charge of the kitchen, and Ruan Yimian helps to help.
In the morning, when I asked someone to buy oiled paper, I asked the man to buy a piece of meat and come back.
Cao Chunfeng and her family sell meat in the village, and the Ruan family has such a stiff relationship with her now that they have to go to the town to buy meat.
Second Uncle Ruan's family helped many times, and Ruan Yimian made money to thank them this time, so naturally she had to come up with some good dishes. Not only did I buy meat, but I also used two large bowls of soybeans to go to Aunt Du's house in the village to exchange for a bowl of tofu and came back.
Lu Caimei made a dish of stewed pork with fresh bamboo shoots, a dish of sauerkraut and tofu soup, a dish of scrambled eggs with toon, a dish of cold bracken, and steamed sweet potato and chestnut rice.
When the meal was almost ready, Ruan Dexian also came back from the field, he put down the hoe in his hand, washed his hands again, and went to Ruan Deming's house and invited them over for dinner.
Lu Caimei's cooking skills are not bad, today's ingredients are good, and everyone is very satisfied with one meal. Everyone ate so well that there was no soup left.
When talking about today's events on the mountain during dinner, Yu Peilan and Lu Caimei scolded Cao Chunfeng with the same hatred.
It was getting late, and after eating, Yu Peilan and the others didn't stay long, and sat down for a while before going back.
After a tired day, Ruan Yimian also rested early.
*
Early the next morning, Ruan Yimian was woken up by movement outside. As soon as the sky was dark, there was a lot of noise outside, it seemed that many people were talking, some were crying, some were laughing, and they couldn't hear what they were talking from a distance, but they could only feel the excitement of those people.
Ruan Yimian was a little tired yesterday, and Lu Caimei asked him not to get up to make breakfast today, but he still couldn't sleep lazy.
Lu Caimei went out to investigate, only to find out that it was someone who went to the border to join the army who came back.
"I finally got my son back, everyone was very excited, crying and laughing, your Aunt Zhang is such a calm person, and she has been crying for a long time today with your brother Qingshan!"
Lu Caimei turned her words around, and said to her son: "The rest of the people are back, only your eldest brother Huo has not arrived yet, I heard your brother Qingshan say that there is something delayed in the county, and I don't know what the matter is, how many days will it be delayed?" ”
It stands to reason that Huo Aowu will come back in more than a month! Ruan Yimian was mentally prepared, and he didn't feel surprised, so he only concentrated on being his rouge.
Unexpectedly, within a month's wait, Huo Aowu arrived at Shanliu Village on the second day.
Ruan Yimian was doing embroidery work in the house at noon, and heard her mother shouting outside: "Brother Mian'er, come out quickly, your brother is back!" ”
He was still a little puzzled, his brother would come back every ten days, why did he call him out this time? When he arrived at the hall, there was one person sitting in the room, except for Ruan Yiwen and his father.
The man was extremely tall, dressed in a dark gray skit, and the strong muscles on his body could be seen. Sitting on a chair at this time, it is also imposing. He has a handsome face, deep eyebrows and eyes, and a long scar on the left side of his face, which adds a bit of fierceness to his already cold and hard face.
Ruan Yimian quietly looked at it several times before he recognized it, who was this person not Huo Aowu?
Huo Aowu was talking to Ruan Yiwen when he felt a gaze staring at him, his mind moved, and when he looked up, he saw that the owner of the sight looked away timidly.
"Brother Mian." Huo Aowu's voice was low.
"Brother Huo, you're back."
Huo Aowu came back this time, and there was a great change from before, the original youthful childishness is now gone. He had an extra scar on his face, and his eyes were full of oppression, Ruan Yimian felt very strange, and a little uncomfortable, and his voice was a little lower.
"Brother Mian'er, thank you Brother Huo! When he comes back this time, he has found a doctor who is good at treating your disease, and maybe you will soon be healthy and become like a normal person! Ruan Yiwen said excitedly to his younger brother with a happy face.
Ruan Yimian was taken aback, this had never happened in her previous life! Although he was a little confused, after coming back to his senses, he still thanked politely: "Thank you, Brother Huo." ”
He was so polite, Huo Aowu unconsciously twisted his eyebrows, and his gaze was a little deeper.
"Why is this kid so calm, is he happy and stupid?" Lu Caimei smiled and pulled her youngest son to sit down beside her.
Huo Aowu glanced up at Ruan Yimian again: "You're welcome, whether I can cure you or not has to be known by the doctor himself." ”
"What are you talking to my brother so tightly, didn't Dr. Xu say it? People with the same disease as Brother Mian'er have not been cured under his hands! As soon as Ruan Yiwen said this, the smiles on Lu Caimei and Ruan Dexian's faces became a little more obvious.
Listening to what he meant, it seemed that he had already visited the doctor with Huo Aowu.
At this time, Ruan Dexian and his family did not see any surprise on their faces, and it is estimated that Ruan Yiwen had explained it in advance.
Afraid that his father and mother would work hard to raise money and be exhausted, Ruan Yimian didn't tell them about a doctor in his previous life who almost cured him. The doctor's medical skills were very good, but the consultation fee was also very expensive, Ruan Yimian really didn't want to increase the burden on his father and mother anymore, so he planned to wait until he sold rouge and saved enough money, and then told his father and mother.
I didn't expect such a change in this life, I don't know if the doctor Xu found by Huo Aowu is the same as the doctor Xu in the previous life, is it a person?
"Brother Huo, I don't know where that doctor is now, can our family afford his consultation fee?" Although she was a little embarrassed to ask for the consultation as soon as she opened her mouth, Ruan Yimian still asked the question in her heart.
Being looked at by him, Huo Aowu seemed a little uncomfortable, he put his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly, before he was relieved: "That doctor is from Nanyuan Mansion City, but he has been in Wuyang County for the past few days. You don't have to worry about the money, I came back this time with some silver, and it should be enough to help you heal. ”
Brother Huo avenged him in his last life, and in this life, he offered to use the money he had earned for four years in the army to help him seek medical treatment, Ruan Yimian looked at Huo Aowu with gratitude on his face, and secretly sighed in his heart, how could there be such a good person as Brother Huo in this world?
Although his face is cold, Brother Huo is still the same as when he was a child.
After a while, Ruan Yimian's rustiness and discomfort faded a little.
If it was Ruan Yimian in the previous life, he would definitely be embarrassed to accept his help, but this time, Ruan Yimian hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "Brother Huo, thank you, I will return the consultation fee to you as soon as possible." ”
It's not worth worrying about my parents for my ridiculous self-esteem, it's really not worth it, it's the right thing to recover my health as soon as possible and improve the family's predicament as soon as possible.
This doctor is also surnamed Xu, and he is also a person from Nanyuan Fucheng, and it just so happens that he is in Wuyang County these days, and there is a chance that he is the doctor Xu in the previous life. If he hadn't been forced to stop taking medicine in his previous life, his illness should have been completely cured, and this Dr. Xu is indeed capable of recovering himself as before.
After tasting the taste of health in her dream, Ruan Yimian became more and more tired of her useless body. Since he had the opportunity to heal himself in advance, he wanted to fight for it, but now he didn't know when he would be able to pay off what he owed to Brother Huo.
Huo Aowu has been away for four years, and as soon as he came back, he took the initiative to help Ruan Yimian find a doctor, and also offered to help pay the consultation fee in advance, not only Ruan Yimian himself, but his father and mother were also very moved.
"There are still five taels of silver at home, and I will bring them to the county tomorrow, if it is enough, it is naturally the best, if it is not enough, then ask Aowu to help pay it!" Ruan Dexian thanked Huo Aowu with a sincere face: "What Aowu did for our Ruan family, Uncle Ruan will remember it for the rest of his life, if you don't dislike it, the Ruan family will also be your family in the future." ”
Lu Caimei also thanked Huo Aowu for her kindness: "Aowu, thank you so much this time, if there is any aunt who can help you in the future, just say it, don't be polite to the aunt." Your house hasn't been inhabited for a few years, and it is estimated that you can't live in it, so you can live in our house first, squeeze in with your Yiwen brother, and just eat at our house, and you don't have to run back and forth. In two days, your Uncle Ruan will finish the work in the field, and we will help you clean up the house together. ”
Ruan Yiwen was not so polite, but he also said with a straight face: "Don't thank you for your kindness, in the future, wherever you can use me, you can just speak." ”
Seeing his father and brother solemnly thank Huo Aowu for him, Ruan Yimian's eyes turned red unconsciously, he quietly lowered his head and wiped his tears with his sleeve, but he didn't notice Huo Aowu's instant panic.
Huo Aowu secretly glanced at the little brother on the side, and when he saw that no one was crying anymore, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his hand clenched into a fist relaxed.
*
Let Huo Aowu's father and mother die early, and the young man who has nothing to rely on advances money to help their son treat his illness, Ruan Dexian and Lu Caimei are a little embarrassed in their hearts, but there is really no other way.
Their family doesn't have any rich relatives, if Second Uncle Ruan borrows it, it is estimated that he can borrow a little, but Ruan Yiquan and Ruan Deming earn hard-earned money, and they have helped many times over the years, and they can be regarded as benevolent and righteous to Ruan Yimian's family.
Ruan Deming didn't have any other skills, he could only weave bamboo, and when he was not working, he would weave some small objects for Ruan Yiquan to take out to sell, and he couldn't make much money. Ruan Yiquan earns more, but every time he goes to business, he has to push a heavy cart back and forth to various villages and towns, which is very hard. He has been saving money to buy cattle to make ox carts, but he hasn't saved enough so far, because this matter has also delayed his marriage, at this stall, how embarrassed is Ruan Dexian to open up to their family?
Lu Caimei's relatives also have their own poor methods, and the conditions are not much better than the Ruan family, and they can't help much.
Thinking about it, only Huo Aowu can help them.
