Chapter 7 The Barefoot Doctor
Chapter 7 Barefoot Doctor
Zhu Hanyan wears a white coat and a dark blue Mao suit underneath. The neat and meticulous collar can give a glimpse of his rigorous character. The dignified-faced woman next to him is carrying a medicine box, which is his wife Chen Yuzhi. Yuzhi is a BJ person. Back then
A student who jumped in line and settled down with Dr. Zhu. The two stayed together in a foreign land and eventually got married.
"Where is Yueshan?" Dr. Zhu said hello and saw the Poria cocos on the table. He opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it. He took a few steps over excitedly and said, "What a big Poria cocos!"
He circled around the Poria cocos, touching and looking at it, and couldn't stop the smile on his face.
"I have been in Yunlai Village for nearly 20 years, and this is the first time I have seen wild Poria cocos that is so big and of such good quality!" He turned to Yue Shan and asked, "Why, you found it? I asked you, why did you think of digging it?
From pine tree roots? Hahaha, you’re so lucky.”
"Dad, Lingmei dug it up." Junxiao hurriedly explained for the Xiao family.
"Lingmei?" Dr. Zhu's eyes lit up. How beautiful is this girl? He couldn't help but sigh, "That's why you have to study. After reading, you will know more and have more opportunities."
Hearing this, Ling Mei nodded with sadness.
Seeing this, Chen Yuzhi went to the house to make a few cups of tea and came out: "Are you tired from coming down the mountain? Amei, drink tea." She looked at Lingmei's beautiful face and thought to herself, Lingmei has not grown up yet.
I don't know how beautiful such a face will be in a few years. I don't know which boy in the village is so lucky to pick this flower. She caught a glimpse of her son's eyes glued to Lingmei, and her smile faded.
Doctor Zhu took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Since you sent Poria cocos to my house, I won't be polite to you. This wild Poria cocos is indeed precious, but it is not as precious as ginseng and Shouwu.
"
Ling Mei Xiao's father nodded in agreement.
Doctor Zhu felt relieved and continued: "I won't lose you. Poria cocos of this size are indeed rare. The current price on the market ranges from 20 to 30 per kilogram depending on the quality."
Father Xiao immediately said: "Thanks to Dr. Zhu for taking care of our village, just think it's cheaper."
Dr. Zhu's smile grew wider: "I can't let you suffer. You have three children who want to study."
The final price was 26 yuan per pound, and six pounds of Poria cocos sold for 156 yuan.
Taking the money, Father Xiao and Ling Mei went back happily.
After walking a few steps, Junxiao caught up with a small paper bag and handed it to Lingmei: "I prepared my own wolfberry tea. You can make a cup of it when you are tired from studying at night. It will clear your eyesight."
Father Xiao turned his head, feeling sour in his heart.
Mei thanked her slightly awkwardly and walked away quickly.
Father Xiao muttered from behind: Humph, you are so high-spirited! Our Lingmei doesn’t even look down on you.
After returning home, Xiao's father gave Luo Guixiang's money to keep.
Luo Guixiang was so happy that her voice softened a bit when she saw Ling Mei: "I will buy meat early tomorrow morning and buy two more mackerels to make fish balls."
Ling Yun clapped her hands and shouted: "Okay, there are meats to eat and fish balls to eat."
Lingmei is also looking forward to Luo Guixiang's cooking skills.
Only Ling Hui looked at his sister suspiciously: "Did you find the Poria?"
Lingmei glanced at her compatriot brother and said calmly: "Yes." Without waiting for him to ask, she continued, "There is a topography introduction in the school, and the picture of Poria cocos is hanging in the school library."
Ling Hui was silent. Even if he knew what Poria cocos looked like and where it grew, it was Ling Mei's luck that he could actually find Poria cocos.
Fortunately, with this money, the siblings don't have to worry about the tuition fees for the new year. His mother had told him long ago that after Lingmei drops out of school and gets engaged, the tuition fees and betrothal gifts saved will be enough for her to go to college.
Early the next morning, Lingmei went to the vegetable field to cultivate fresh vegetables as usual and came back, washed them and put them beside the stove. After finishing her work, she returned to the main room and for the first time saw a bowl of noodle paste with a lot of ingredients on the dining table.
, fried dough sticks, shrimp, tofu, and half an egg, full of aroma.
Ling Hui and Ling Yun ate deliciously.
Her mother smiled and said, "You can eat it while it's hot. I'll help you prepare lunch."
Ling Mei secretly laughed: Luo Guixiang is an easy woman to get along with. As long as she can make enough money, she will not be stingy or make things difficult for others.
The noodle paste was delicious and delicious. Lingmei felt full and warm, so she went to school with her food box.
Luxu Town is three kilometers away from Yunlai Village. It is not too far, but walking back and forth on foot every day, the road conditions are bad and tiring enough. It is not easy for the original owner to be able to support it for so long.
Lingmei finally walked to the road leading to the town outside the village, and the bicycle bell rang behind her.
"Lingmei."
When Ling Mei heard the sound, she turned around and saw an almost dreamlike picture in front of her eyes.
At the beginning of the red sun, in the morning glow of the sky, there was a handsome and lovely boy wearing a white shirt, with flying black hair, riding a bicycle, and landed in front of her like a sun god.
"What are you doing, Lingmei?"
Zhu Junxiao patted her head gently: "Get in the car quickly."
Get on, get in the car?
Lingmei searched her memory and then remembered that since she went to junior high school in the town, Zhu Junxiao would wait for her on the road outside the village no matter the wind or rain. This lasted for nearly three years.
No wonder the original owner calls him Brother Junxiao, he is really a good brother to his childhood sweethearts.
She was not pretentious. She sat in the back seat of the car and held the clothes around Junxiao's waist tightly. Mei secretly felt sad for the original owner and the boy. The cruelest thing in the world is that people who love each other are separated by yin and yang. Fortunately, evil will be punished.
, you two can be considered as having a great revenge.
Zhu Junxiao happily sang a good example of learning, and rode jingling all the way to school. Then he told Ling Mei like an old mother: "Listen carefully in class, and I will pick you up after class. If you don't understand anything, you can sort it out and ask.
I."
Ling Mei nodded: "Okay."
The classmates passing by greeted her: "Xiao Lingmei, your brother is so kind. He sends you to school every day."
Ling Mei entered the school with her classmates with a smile on her face: "Yes."
Lingmei was afraid that her classmates would gossip and claimed that Junxiao was her cousin in the village.
Xianyun Junior High School is not big. It was rebuilt from an abandoned cotton factory before liberation. It has a playground, a basketball court, and a canteen. The school does not have a canteen to provide lunch, but it provides a hot meal service. The students brought it in the morning.
The lunch boxes are placed on a shelf outside the cafeteria. At noon, the cafeteria chef puts the steamed lunch boxes back on the shelf for students to pick up.
In this era of material poverty, everyone's lunch boxes are almost identical rectangular boxes made of aluminum leather, so it is essential that everyone engraved their names on the lids of the boxes. Father Xiao was ingenious and used the word "Xiao" on his daughter's box lids.
The knife carved a plum blossom with stamens. On the son's lunch box, there was a small sun shining brightly.
Ling Hui disliked his father's creativity very much, so he added the name next to the sun. Ling Mei only felt that her father was ingenious and liked the plum blossom very much.
Entering the classroom, her deskmate Tang Xiaoqin waved to her vigorously: "Lingmei, come on, please help me. I thought about this question for an hour last night and couldn't figure it out!"
