Chapter Nineteen Visiting the Grandpa
Lingsu found paper and pen and came out to write the prescription: "I looked at the previous prescription and found that there were some problems that were not suitable for his current symptoms, so it was not cured. If the prescription is not adjusted, it will be really delayed."
Seeing her say this, Gong Yumingxi was startled: "Is there any hindrance? Can you keep an eye on it?"
Lingsu shook his head: "It's not that it can't be recuperated, it just takes some effort and maintenance. It's because he lost his health when he was young. In addition, he is an Orion and has been injured many times, but he can't.
Take good care of yourself. After my grandpa passed away, the medicine he took for the past two or three years was not very suitable for the symptoms. Didn't this make things worse? Fortunately, my grandpa helped me with the treatment in the past few years and laid a foundation, so that I can persist until now. Otherwise...
.... Taking medicine alone is not enough. I will prescribe some medicine for you to take first, and then supplement it with acupuncture. As long as you don't do anything serious, it won't be a problem to live for more than ten years."
Grandpa Zuo is also fifty years old. He will live for another ten years or so and will be nearly seventy.
Seventy years of life are rare in ancient times. To put it harshly, dying in your seventies can be regarded as a joy or mourning in this era.
Gong Yumingxi felt relieved: "That will work. If this continues, your Uncle Lu will be dragged down and it will be difficult to start a family."
Hunting is a life-threatening business, and it is difficult to find a wife. With his family's current conditions, if things continue like this, Uncle Lu will really not be able to find a wife.
In fact, Uncle Lu is tall, has big eyebrows and straight eyes, and has a very upright appearance. He can be considered a handsome young man. As long as the family conditions are decent, he will not be a bachelor in his twenties.
The grandma of the Zuo family was so worried about his marriage.
Lingsu smiled and said: "I will prescribe ten days of medicine first. Except for one or two medicinal materials that are slightly more expensive, the others are also cheap. Later I will go up the mountain to find some medicinal materials and come back. It won't cost much. I will prescribe another one."
With the prescription of herbal medicine, the old man will take care of him this winter and he will be fine in the spring. From now on, he will have to give birth to children and raise them, so there won’t be any big problems."
In fact, using some precious medicinal materials can help heal the disease faster. But aren’t conditions prohibiting it?
By the time the chicken soup was ironed, it had already been almost an hour, and the sky was completely dark. The lights were lit in the house, and the family made noodles and ate them. After boiling water and washing up, they turned off the lights and went to sleep.
The next day was still a sunny day.
Because the second brother was going to the county town with Uncle Lu, Lingsu was afraid that he would be hungry on the way, so he spread out egg and scallion pancakes for him and boiled a few eggs for him to take with him.
After breakfast, it was getting brighter, so Lingsu said: "Mom, I'm going to go up the mountain to find some herbs. I'm afraid I won't be back at noon. You can just eat lunch by yourself."
Gong Yumingxi was worried: "You can't do it alone. Why don't you ask your second brother to accompany you?"
"No need, I can do it myself. I won't go into the mountains, I will just wander around the outside. They are all ordinary medicinal materials, not difficult to find."
Gongyu Mingxi thought that she was a martial artist in her previous life, and she practiced Wuqianxi with her grandfather for several years in the past few years. She was not afraid of not going into the mountains or encountering ferocious beasts. He told her to be careful and asked her to bring some boiled food.
Egg, then let her go out.
When Lingsu went out with the hoe and sickle and the bean sprouts on his back, Gongyu Mingxi and Lingyu mother and daughter continued to make cotton clothes, while Qixun drew the unfinished drawing of the spinning wheel yesterday. While she finished the component drawings one by one,
After the painting was done, it was already noon and it was time to make lunch.
Seeing that both her mother and sister Lin were busy, Qi Xun went to make lunch by herself.
Yesterday's chicken soup was still there. She couldn't roll noodles, but she could make gnocchi soup. So she went to the vegetable field, picked up a handful of spinach and a piece of green garlic, took it to the well, washed it, and returned to the kitchen. "Mr.
Heat the chicken soup, and while the soup is boiling, stir in the noodles.
With just a stick of incense, the chicken soup, spinach and gnocchi were ready. I took out the bowl, sprinkled some green garlic on it, brought it to the house on a wooden plate, and greeted her mother and sister for lunch.
After lunch, Qixun washed the dishes, rinsed the pot, and boiled another pot of water. Then he said to Gong Yumingxi: "Mom, I'll take a chicken to the village and exchange it for some soybeans and mung beans. Let's order some in the evening."
Eat tofu and soak two pounds of bean sprouts."
A chicken can be sold for about thirty cents, which is enough to buy six or seven kilograms of soybeans.
Gong Yumingxi waved her hand to go.
In fact, the mud on the road has not dried yet. Fortunately, she doesn't have to worry about her shabby shoes. She didn't go to other people's houses. She went to her great-uncle's house. In addition to the chickens she carried, she also brought out the fresh chickens brought out by her second brother.
I packed about two kilograms of red dates and persimmons and took them with me to visit my great-uncle.
My great-uncle is already in his seventies, and he is still in good health. However, the weather has been bad recently, and his legs have been broken, so he has been lying in bed for the past two days.
Seeing that Qixun had brought him big red dates, the old man was in a very good mood. He asked her about the situation at home, and then said: "Jujubes are out of the market this season, but such big jujubes are rare. Where can you find them?"
Qixun smiled and said: "Second brother and mother Qian'er went to the town and happened to meet someone selling it. Seeing that the price was not expensive, I bought some. Fresh fruits are not common this season. Mother asked me to bring sweet fruits to you, great-grandfather.
You know, dates are fine. Persimmons are cold, so you can only eat one per day."
The old man who said that laughed loudly: "I'm sorry for you, the younger generation. Your mother is the most filial. Cheng, I don't eat too much. Now that the family is in trouble, don't worry about me, an old man. Just live your life well."
It’s done.”
Qixun smiled and said, "Don't worry about us. The eldest grandfather and the second grandfather sent my family a lot of food, so we can't starve. Moreover, the second brother went to the mountains with uncle Zuo's family yesterday and hunted a lot of prey, which can be sold.
It's a lot of money. My second brother told me yesterday that your old cold leg has broken down again, and I want to come back with a wolf skin and make a mattress for you, so that you can have a comfortable winter."
These words actually startled the old man.
"I don't dare. I'll just pay back the pheasants and rabbits. I don't dare touch those beasts and insects. Tell him not to worry about me. I'm in good health."
Qixun did not defend himself, and only said: "My mother said that the third sister's medical skills can be regarded as inherited from my grandfather, and now she is considered to be a master, and she can become a doctor. She went into the mountains today to help the Zuo family's grandfather to collect medicine, and tomorrow I will let you
She comes here to show you."
The old man just said not to worry about him, and asked Qixun if her father had written back. He had been gone for more than half a month.
Qi Xun smiled and said, "I don't have the letter. When I get the letter, I will come over and tell you."
After chatting with the old man for a while, Qixun said goodbye.
The aunt gave her the changed soybeans, and she carried them seven times, fearing that they might not weigh more than ten kilograms. There were also several kilograms of mung beans, so she hurriedly said: "Auntie, this is too much."
The eldest aunt, Mrs. Guo, was a straightforward and enthusiastic woman. She smiled and said, "It's okay to leave it at home. Just take it. It's not worth much."
The extra three or four kilograms is still more than ten cents.
However, Qi Xun was not polite. He thought about making tofu and sprouting bean sprouts, so he just sent some over.
She has no intention of selling it. One pound of soybeans can produce three pounds of tofu, and her family cannot eat that much.
Furthermore, it is impossible for her family to do this tofu business. Making tofu is a hard business, and her family has no labor.
However, for the three sons of the eldest uncle’s family, the eldest uncle is working as a bookkeeper in the town, so there is no need to worry about it. The third and fourth uncles can only go to the town to work part-time. Not to mention the hard work, they can’t make much money. In the future, they will turn to the tofu business.
It would work for my two cousins.
The benefits given to the eldest grandfather's family must be considered by the second grandfather's family. Both of them are blood relatives, and a bowl of water must be leveled to make this relationship last forever.
But my second uncle’s uncle, Uncle Wu, worked as a teacher in the county town. There were only two old men and grandsons in the family, so he had to think carefully about what he wanted to do to make money.
