Chapter 4: Changes in Mood
In fact, Ping An is not seriously ill, but he has lost too much blood, which Ping An knows better than anyone else, but he is no match for his attending doctor, who is a stubborn and stubborn old Chinese medicine doctor, and said with a strange face that he has a serious loss of energy, and scares people to say that if it is not treated well, it will have a great impact on life in the future.
"What is the essence?" asked the old Chinese medicine doctor who had taken his temperature curiously.
The old Chinese medicine doctor looked at him with strange eyes, and then said slowly: "Essence, it's kidney loss!"
"Kidney deficiency?"
After a moment of silence, I immediately became unhappy, thinking that I am an eleven or twelve-year-old child, and my kidney is missing.
"You're really kidney-deficient. The old Chinese medicine doctor stubbornly said: "I really didn't lie to you, you are a kidney loss." ”
“......”
Peace is embarrassed, the conscience of heaven and earth, I definitely didn't shoot with the girl, I am a good child.
For this old man who couldn't go home in his old age, Ping An naturally looked at him unhappy. Since this day, Ping An has never given him a good face, and has caused him a lot of trouble several times, such as secretly pinching the pulse on his arm when he is calling his pulse, inserting the thermometer into the quilt when taking his temperature, and only half of it when taking medicine......
"Little ghost, you're really consuming it with me. The old Chinese medicine doctor said with a smile, smiling like an old fox.
"You go away!"
Ping'an directly rewarded him with a white eye, such a nasty old man, cursed him for kidney deficiency, and prescribed him bitter and astringent medicine, alas, it is better to be a nurse sister, her voice is good, and her smile is so good.
In the past 20 days in the hospital, in addition to fighting wits and courage with the old Chinese medicine doctor at regular intervals every day, Ping An's biggest interest is to hide alone in the garden under the inpatient building to play.
I don't know if it's the vitality inside the golden gourd, Ping An suddenly became interested in plants and trees.
For many days in a row, he liked to stay in the yard under a few evergreen trees.
Looking at their branches and leaves, I became familiar with their breath, and I also ate a few leaves directly to feel their taste carefully.
It is faint, astringent, and not as delicious as the leaves of Xiangguizi, but these leaves seem to contain a very faint breath.
This breath seems to have spirituality, although it is not as pure and strong as the breath fed to him after the golden gourd devoured the golden beans, but it also made Ping An feel happy and energetic in his body.
After the change of mood, it is not only the peaceful body that has changed, but also his brain, his thinking, the way he sees things and thinks about things, and he seems to be more like an adult.
But Ping An doesn't like to introduce that breath into his head now, because it is too painful to do so, although it will make him like a real adult, become sensible, and filial to his mother, but it is accompanied by all kinds of messy thoughts.
For example, once, when he saw a nurse sister who was really, really beautiful and beautiful, some messy thoughts popped up in his head, and he couldn't help but say something like this:
"Sister, your face is so good-looking, your skin is good, your eyes are so big, the nurses and aunts in the whole hospital are not as beautiful as you, if anyone can marry your sister, it will be a blessing for a lifetime. ”
"Little ghost, your mouth is so sweet. ”
Everyone has a love for beauty, not to mention a beautiful woman, the beautiful nurse smiled and said: "When you grow up, my sister will give you a girl who is more beautiful than my sister as a daughter-in-law." ”
"But I like you, sister!" Ping'an looked innocent, but said very decisively: "Are you okay to be my daughter-in-law?"
The beautiful nurse's face immediately looked like an apple, and she slapped him on the head hard, and scolded with a smile: "Just your age, a little ghost of this height also wants to marry me as a daughter-in-law, and you are not qualified to eat for a few more years." ”
"Sister, height is not distance, age is not a problem. ”
Ping An was like being beaten with chicken blood, he didn't pay attention to the stunned expressions of other patients and family members in the ward, and he said excitedly: "It's said in the movie, as long as the two are happy, everything is a floating cloud, you dislike me now, we can get along for a few years first, and by the way, we can also cultivate deep feelings and add mutual understanding, so that the marriage can be happy." ”
"Yes, girl, this little devil is right, you should deal with him for a few years. A patient's aunt said with a smile.
Then a room full of people cheered for Ping An in laughter, and almost didn't say "Strong, my boy too".
The beautiful face of the beautiful nurse turned red into a strawberry in the spring in an instant, and after a moment of shock, she hid her face and walked away, if it weren't for Ping'an's young age, she would have to report to the dean that she had been rooked by the patient.
Peace, gave the room full of people a roll of eyes, an expression that scared my daughter-in-law away.
Another time, Ping An saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in the ward, who had a temper tantrum with his sick mother, and his mother was so angry that he fainted on the spot. ”
Yuan Xiaoyi listened to it and looked at him with a strange expression, which was strange for several days.
Therefore, after experiencing these painful lessons, Ping An easily did not dare to introduce that mysterious breath into his brain.
Because until now, as soon as that beautiful nurse enters the ward, or passes by, the patient in the room will smile and say, "Hey, Ping'an, your daughter-in-law is here." ”
It's numb, it's a shame.
Ping An just wants to find a crack in the ground to get into.
However, Ping An has an instinct that if the golden gourd gives him a few more rays of vitality, he will definitely become smarter.
So his thirst for money and golden beans became stronger and stronger.
Finally, after the Lantern Festival, the old Chinese medicine doctor didn't know whether he was defeated by Ping'an's eccentric spirits, or was afraid that Ping'an would kidnap the beautiful female nurse in their hospital, so he waved his hand and approved him to get out of the hospital.
"Peace. ”
At noon the day before he was discharged from the hospital, Yuan Xiaoyi took his hand and said with a smile: "What do you want to eat today, I will take you down to the restaurant to eat." ”
What?
Ping An blinked, unable to believe that what his mother said was true.
You must know that he has been hospitalized for more than 20 days, but he has spent a lot of money in the family, and almost exhausted Yuan Xiaoyi's savings in the past ten years, even if his aunt Pingye has contributed some of it, but from his mother's sad face day by day, Ping An knows that she has no money.
Moreover, there are more than ten days, and his tuition fees are also a big burden for Yuan Xiaoyi.
These peace of mind are like mirrors, but I didn't expect my mother to take him to the restaurant, and I didn't think it was fake.
He often heard the second brother Chen, who loves to brag and show off, say that the dishes in the restaurant are ten times better than those at home, and there are all kinds of tricks, fish, meat, shrimp, fried belly flowers, and saliva is about to flow out.
"Let's go to dinner. ”
When Ping An sighed that he was not determined and longed for restaurant food, Yuan Xiaoyi took Ping An's men downstairs and found a decent restaurant near the hospital.
Restaurants in '97 are almost all near hospitals and stations, which are affordable and sufficient, and are the first choice of many people who enter the city, while the restaurants and hotels that are a little more high-end are not affordable for ordinary people.
When Ping An looked at the decoration of the restaurant like a curious baby, and played with the toothpicks, tissues, and disposable chopsticks on the table, Yuan Xiaoyi had already ordered the dishes.
A stir-fried pork belly with onions, a peanut and pork belly flower, and a tomato egg drop soup will be served soon.
"Mom, this pork belly flower is so delicious, but it's a pity that it's a little old, I can't chew it, you eat more." ”
Ping'an saw that his mother didn't move much meat, so he tightly sandwiched the pork belly on the plate to his mother.
After the baptism of the golden gourd's vitality these days, even if it doesn't introduce that breath into the brain, Ping An is sensible and knows how to find all kinds of reasons to care about his mother.
This move gained a happy smile from Yuan Xiaoyi, and he giggled even happier.
"Boss, why did your pot meat go up by a dollar? And this old duck soup and sweet bamboo fried meat...... Why has the price gone up?"
"Brother, there's no way, now the pigs have risen to two dollars and five cents, and the chickens, ducks and fish have risen with it, and I also want to sell it cheaper, but everyone depends on this restaurant to eat." ”
"But this price is too outrageous, right? I remember that before the Chinese New Year, the price of meat was only nine or six yuan a piece, and you could buy a big fat chicken. As soon as this year is over, it will be so expensive?"
"I still remember a few years ago, I could cut two and a half catties of meat for one dollar, and I could buy ten catties of rice?" another guest quipped, life was too boring and he had to find something to talk about.
"By the way, this price is the same every year, and it rises in a fast word. ”
"But you don't want to think about how much wages were a few years ago, and how much are they now? It's not that prices are rising, but that our incomes are rising. ”
The sensitive-eared peace listened to the arguments between the customer and the boss while enjoying the meal of the restaurant for the first time in his life.
The pork belly is so delicious, fat but not oily, fragrant and chewy, how good it would be if you eat it every day!
"Mom, how much is a pound of pigs in my town. An Ping asked for no reason.
The mother replied casually, "It seems to be nine to two yuan a catty?"
A piece of nine cents a pound.
The head, which had been destroyed by money for more than 20 days, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and Ping An immediately quietly calculated an account in his heart: "The pork in the county town is two yuan and five cents a catty, and the one in the town is two yuan, and one pound is a difference of five cents, ten catties and five yuan, and a hundred catties and fifty yuan, what if it is a thousand catties?"
Oh my God, it's five hundred dollars!
Ping An was excited, and his little heart beat faster in his chest.
Five hundred yuan, almost half of all the expenses he spent on hospitalization this time, and Yuan Xiaoyi has saved more than ten years without a few five hundred yuan.
Ping An seemed to see a great prospect of making a lot of money, and sat there excitedly with a giggle.
Moreover, Ping An has an intuition that as long as he has money and buys more golden beans, the golden gourd will give him more vitality and bring more changes to his body.
He already liked the feeling brought to him by the golden gourd, and there seemed to be a voice urging him in his heart, money, money, gold, gold...... Therefore, for the sake of money, for gold, and for himself and his mother, Ping An made up his mind to help his mother do this business, and that mysterious aura had been quietly introduced into his head.
