Chapter 138: Worth It
"I wonder where the doctor studied?" After Chen Xiuyan's follow-up consultation, the patient spoke.
Chen Xiuyan raised her head to meet the other person's eyes, smiled and asked, "Is this important?"
The man raised his lips in surprise, "It's not important, it's just the line on the chest?"
"The skin injury will be removed in five days," Chen Xiuyan replied.
"Then I'll ask the doctor to come again then."
"It's okay." Chen Xiuyan responded, "This is medicine for five days, twice a day. Dissolve it with water and drink it after meals."
The guard leader listened carefully and put away the small medicine bag.
"Pang Yi, pay for the consultation." As soon as the man finished speaking, the leader of the guard put away the medical bag and brought two cube boxes over.
"One contains the medical fee, and the other is a congratulatory gift." The man explained, "Tao Taifu's disciples can also be called senior brothers."
Chen Xiuyan looked at Mr. Tao, Mr. Tao nodded, and Chen Xiuyan accepted it with peace of mind.
"Pang Yi, it's great to send this person home."
Mr. Tao and Granny Su stayed behind and did not follow him back. Only Luo Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan returned home. When family members asked about it, they said that the patient was an old acquaintance of Mr. Tao and that Granny Su stayed to help make medicinal meals.
Chen Xiuyan returned to her room, opened the box, found a stack of banknotes, and counted a total of three thousand taels. The other box was double-layered, with a piece of mutton-fat jade on the top and a set of jade nuggets on the bottom.
The other party was so thoughtful that in addition to Luo Wenqian, he also prepared congratulatory gifts for himself.
Although I had to go out for treatment on New Year's Eve, it was well worth it.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was now the time when the children came to pay New Year greetings. Chen Xiuyan put away her things, changed her clothes, and went to the main room.
Luo Wense took out the pastries, dried fruits, candied fruits and other snacks that she had prepared early, and placed them on the Eight Immortals table. There were also many red paper envelopes, each containing a penny, which were red envelopes prepared for the children.
The door was open, and people came to pay New Year greetings one after another. Luo Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan sat at the main seats and received them one by one. Then they shared some food and red envelopes. The children left happily and went to the next house.
When the neighbors were almost here, Chen Xiuyan started giving out lucky money to her family members.
The four nieces and nephews all received two taels of silver. Even Luo Wense received five taels of silver as a new year's gift. She was a little dazed holding the big red envelope.
"I, how can I accept this at such an old age?" Luo Wense blushed slightly.
"Second sister, don't worry, everyone in our family has something." Chen Xiuyan took out her own. Hers was given to her by Luo Wenqian, and the one in Luo Wenqian's hand was given by her.
Luo Wense accepted it with a smile.
After that, Chen Xiuyan also gave New Year's money to the two brothers Qian Dongliang and the sisters Huahe and Huaxi, one tael of silver each.
Last night, Chen Xiuyan and others did not eat the pot at home. Luo Wense put away some of the ingredients at that time, so he cooked a pot for dinner today. The ingredients in the pot were eaten closely by Luo Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan, and the rest
people eat dumplings.
Mrs. Yuan, Zhuang Ya and Luo Ni'er were also having dinner at Luo's house. Seeing that Chen Xiuyan was back but Granny Su was not, Chen Xiuyan explained and Mrs. Yuan nodded without asking any more questions.
"Aunt Yuan, when Mr. Tao and Granny Su come back, let's have another good meal." Chen Xiuyan invited, and Mrs. Yuan readily agreed.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the day when a married woman returns to her parents' home, Chen Xiuyan should return to Chenjiacun. But today, Luo Wenjin's family is coming, and she has no parents-in-law. As the hostess, Chen Xiuyan cannot leave.
The Chen family knew about the situation of the Luo family. When Chen Xiuyan went to give New Year's gifts, Mrs. Liu asked her to return to her parents' home on the third day of the new year or at a convenient time, so today Chen Xiuyan stayed at home to prepare meals for her eldest sister and her family.
There was a lot of poultry butchered, and Chen Xiuyan had already thought of the dishes, including mutton and radish soup, stir-fried duck, braised pork, braised pork head, braised pork ribs, scrambled eggs with chives, kelp and tofu pot, vinegared cabbage, and stir-fried bean sprouts.
Luo Wenjin and his family arrived at Luojiatang at about the same time. The four of them came here. Luo Wenjin’s husband’s husband’s family ran a grocery store, but her husband, Zhu Shanfang, had his own livelihood and found a job as a police officer in the county government. He also worked on his own.
Excellent, this time with Luo Wenqian's success, Zhu Shanfang became the head of the police team a year ago.
Zhu Shanfang is a tall and strong man, about the same height as Luo Wenqian, but much stronger than him. He is as big as a hill. He has the kind of temperament that doesn't talk much, but has liveliness in his eyes.
The two sons of Zhu Shanfang and Luo Wenjin, the older one is eleven years old and the younger one is eight years old, but they are much taller than their peers. Luo Mingchu and Luo Mingnian look thin compared to the two of them. The two children are young but have nimble hands and feet and are well-behaved.
He is very kind and will go up to help whenever he sees someone busy.
Chen Xiuyan liked the two children very much. When she gave the new year's money to her children, she gave them two silver ingots worth one tael each. After the two children received them and thanked them, they felt the weight was too much and immediately gave them to their mother.
.
Luo Wenjin found Chen Xiuyan and was about to go back, but when she finally left the house, she had an extra red envelope in her hand, which was given to her by Chen Xiuyan, worth five taels of silver.
Of course Luo Wenjin didn't want to accept it, but Chen Xiuyan was very determined, and her sister Luo Wense also had it. Anyway, in the end she took the thick red envelope and smiled happily without forgetting to take credit for her family in front of her husband.
Although Zhu Shanfang was not good at words, he could see things clearly. This was why he never objected whenever his wife bought good things or gave some money to her mother's family. Luo Wenqian had a future, and his family would always rely on his in-laws' family more in the future.
After Luo Wenjin was defeated, he began to worry about Luo Wense's future, and finally took his sister to the room.
"Do you know about the Gao family's move?" Luo Wenjin asked.
"Well, Xiuyan knows and told me about it." Luo Wense nodded.
"Then what do you think, do you want to get married again?" Luo Wenjin asked with concern, "Not too many people come to my house these days to ask me about you. I am spoiled for choice."
"It's all for my little brother." Luo Wense snorted.
"I don't know, so I rejected them all. I'm just a neighbor or someone who knows some background, so I don't stand out." Luo Wenjin said dissatisfied, "Now everyone suspects that the ones who can't have children are the Gao family and those who have never been married.
There are a lot of relatives."
"Didn't I tell you that he has palms and eyes?" Luo Wense had no idea and directly blocked Luo Wenjin's mouth with Luo Wenqian.
"Of course I know, haven't I even agreed?" Luo Wenjin finished his question and looked Luo Wense up and down, "Why do I feel that you and Li Hou have gained some weight and look better?
He seems to be younger too.”
"Xiuyan's cooking skills are very good. It's a bit difficult not to gain weight." Luo Wense said with a smile.
"You still ask your siblings to cook for you?" Luo Wenjin was shocked, "You should do more work at your parents' house."
Luo Wense rolled his eyes, and after listening to a lot of her nagging, he felt helpless and kind.
