Sacrificing oneself for others

Dr. Zeng was moved by the brothers' filial piety.

Not only did he prescribe a medicine for Mr. Zhao to take care of his health, but he also charged them three copper coins less, which was equivalent to erasing the change. He tearfully charged them two coins, which was almost as much as Ji Huai's medicine.

Money.

Cheng Lin's pockets were empty, so he consciously stepped aside.

Doctor Zeng looked at Cheng Sanlang's complex and ugly expression with a smile, and said: "I accept credit here, but I have to issue an IOU."

Hearing this, Cheng Sanlang immediately cheered up: "Second brother, come..."

"It's not like he bought this medicine for consumption," Dr. Zeng waved his hand casually, turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, Erlang, Brother Huai said earlier that he had something to tell you, and he is in the room opposite."

Cheng Lin was stunned: "Brother Huai?"

Cheng Lin scratched his head, not doubting his presence, and walked directly towards the opposite room, leaving only Cheng Sanlang standing there with two bags of medicine.

He could only force a smile and say: "I'm sorry, Doctor Zeng, I went out in a hurry this time and didn't bring any money. Can you please give me some mercy and wait until I get home to get the money?"

Dr. Zeng hummed and said calmly: "My rule is to hand over the money in one hand and take the medicine in the other."

"Either you wait until you get the money and take the medicine back, or you can write the IOU now and take the medicine away. Oh, I remember you went to school, Sanlang, right? Then you should be able to write, right?"

Cheng Sanlang subconsciously said: "Of course, I am the only one in the family who can read."

Doctor Zeng looked at him with a half-smile.

Facing this man's eyes, which were so deep that he seemed to be able to see through people, his throat couldn't help but roll up. He threw down the two packets of medicine almost in despair, said he would come back later, and hurriedly turned around and left.

Doctor Zeng withdrew his gaze calmly, hummed a tune and began to dispense the medicine.

Who in Xiaohe Village doesn't know about the Cheng family. In order to support Cheng Sanlang's education, the Cheng family deceived and sold Cheng Erlang to a landlord's house as a servant. As a result, Erlang ran out cleverly and was almost beaten by Old Man Cheng and the others.

Half dead.

From that day on, the Cheng family began to treat Erlang as a beast.

He had to do all the work in the fields, work hard like cattle, chop wood and carry water at home, and even the betrothal gift for his younger brother's marriage was all earned by him... Except for children, which adult wouldn't do these things?

Know?

Such people are both filial and stupid.

But fortunately, it is not hopeless.

…

The next day.

Cheng Miaomiao woke up energetically early in the morning.

After eating and drinking, she happily led Ye Ning to the next door to tell Ji Huai to go up the mountain. She pulled the door of the courtyard with her two little hands and looked in intently. Xiao Cai raised her head proudly: "Giggle!"

Ever since they picked up Xiao Cai, their secret code has become a rooster crow!

Three rooster crows, and she is here!

Unexpectedly, when Ji Huai came out, he found that Dr. Zeng and Zeng Ziji had also followed him. Is Xiaocai so powerful now?

Cheng Miaomiao opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Doctor Zeng was getting ready to go with a backpack on his back and a shirt suitable for going up the mountain. When he saw her look like this, he couldn't help but snorted and said, "Why, you didn't expect me to go out too?"

Cheng Miaomiao nodded honestly.

It has been so long since she moved here that she has never seen him go out.

Ye Ning rubbed her daughter's little head in a funny way and explained: "Being a doctor also requires you to go to the mountains frequently to collect medicines."

It's just that the past few days were busy with farming. At this time of year, there are always people accidentally injured due to improper use of the sickle, or suffering from heatstroke. There were many people seeking medicine and treatment, so Dr. Zeng simply didn't go out and stayed at home to see the doctor.

Cheng Miaomiao immediately put his hands on his hands and praised: "Good man! What a great doctor!"

Dr. Zeng: “…” Such a big illiterate.

After she finished speaking, she felt that these two words sounded a bit weak and not sincere at all, so she quickly asked her junior brother for advice: "Brother Ziji, are there any other words that I can praise you with?"

Zeng Ziji glanced at his uncle and said slowly: "Hang the pot to help the world, help the world and save people, help the world and improve the times."

Cheng Miaomiao immediately copied it and repeated it: "You, Jishi, are awesome!"

"..."

Dr. Zeng’s forehead twitched slightly.

Go back and give her more homework when you go back!

Ji Huai skillfully changed her small backpack to be carried on his own.

He stared at the coquettish ugly bird next to her leg for a moment, then looked away and asked, "Do you want to take Xiao Cai with you?"

Cheng Miaomiao stretched out her hand to hold him and whispered: "Yes, it said it would take us to find its tribe."

Ji Huai: "?"

His eyes fell on it again and he praised: "It's really self-sacrifice for others."

Hearing the compliment in his words, Xiao Cai immediately raised her head proudly, shook her cockscomb, and walked more and more majestically.

It took the group half an hour to reach Xiaohuai Mountain.

The medicinal materials that Dr. Zeng was looking for today grew on the cliffs and would be dangerous nearby, so he entrusted his nephew to Ye Ning, while he waved his hand and left without looking back.

In the past, every time he went to the mountains to dig for medicinal materials, he would leave Zeng Ziji alone at home. He was always obedient, neither making trouble nor crying, and would not say anything about wanting to go to the mountains with him.

I would only nervously check whether he was injured over and over again after he came back.

This is why Dr. Zeng decided to take him out this time.

I want him to spend more time playing with his friends.

The most important thing is that from the fact that Ye Ning took a bunch of children up the mountain many times and came back safe and sound, it can be seen that she is really good at raising children, and he is very relieved to leave Zi Ji to her.

Ye Ning circled a flat and safe place as usual.

Looking at the three children in front of her, Zeng Ziji went up the mountain for the first time. Ji Huai lost his memory. The only one who was familiar with the mountain was the youngest Miaomiao. She was really worried about leaving them here.

"How about you guys go with me?"

"No!" Cheng Miaomiao shook her head like a rattle, patted her chest and promised, "I will definitely take good care of them! And we also have Xiaocai, who can take us to pick up eggs!"

"..."

Ye Ning was silent, and finally left with a trace of worry.

When her back disappeared, Cheng Miaomiao immediately cheered up and shouted: "Xiao Cai, rush!"

Xiao Cai shook her colorful cockscomb, and pointed to the left direction with her wings. The three of them followed her and headed there recklessly, and discovered a small bush of wolfberry along the way.

Small red wolfberry berries hang on the branches, hidden under the green leaves. You can't find them unless you look carefully.

It was Zeng Ziji who recognized it first with his sharp eyes.

He slowly introduced the pharmacology related to wolfberry, emphasizing that wolfberry is full of treasures and can be used as medicine: the leaves of wolfberry collected in spring are called Tianjingcao; the flowers collected in summer are called Changshengcao; the seeds collected in autumn are called Changshengcao.

It is wolfberry; the roots collected in winter are called Digupi.

Especially wolfberry, nourishing and improving eyesight.

All in all, good stuff.

Cheng Miaomiao groaned, her eyes shining brightly.

He quickly included the wolfberries in the illustrated book, then dug out all the roots of the small bush and put it into the basket. He raised his chin and said proudly: "I will plant the wolfberries in the backyard when I get back, and I will ensure that the planting will survive!"

"From today on, all your wolfberry fruits will be taken care of by me!"
