Chapter 14 Sending charcoal in the snow, going to the town to see a doctor
Gu Erniu was so angry that he slapped the table, and took over the conversation and said, "On the contrary, you are not lucky or something, it's simply hateful! I said that their family never comes to the door, so why did he suddenly care about his elder sister's marriage so kindly!"
Dong Chenghu's face was not good either. Zhao looked at Dong Chenghu and smiled and said, "But a fool is lucky. Although Shui Xiu was plotted, she married the right person."
When Dong Chenghu heard this, his face cleared a little, and he was a little excited.
Gu Erniu also reacted at this moment and immediately apologized to Dong Chenghu, "Brother-in-law, don't take what I say to you. I'm just talking quickly for a while. You and my elder sister are perfect matches..."
Gu Shuixiu was speechless and didn't look at the idle. She moved out the big basket from the side and removed the weeds on it. She first took out two pheasants, then took out the cloth, and finally a bag of broken rice.
"Mom, please deal with these two chickens and make up for everyone. These cloths can make a few clothes. Your clothes are so worn out, so it's time to change them. I'll buy a little more in the town tomorrow, and only these are left at home. In addition, these are ten kilograms of broken rice, making porridge is the most suitable. You can cook a little for your father every day."
Zhao looked at the table with his eyes wide open, and then said, "These things are too expensive. You are going to empty the Dong family! No, you can take all these cloths back. As for this chicken, you will sell it to the town tomorrow. Since the broken rice is for your father to replenish your body, I will leave it behind."
Gu Shuixiu was amused and cried, so she immediately asked Gu Erniu to take all the things in and advised him earnestly: "Mom, we really don't lack this thing. If you don't believe me, please ask Cheng Hu. If I really emptied the Dong family, he would not agree!"
Dong Chenghu quickly confessed, "Min is Shuixiu, I have no objection to how she wants to use it."
Gu Shuixiu's face turned red and she looked at Dong Chenghu with anger.
Zhao could see clearly that Dong Chenghu seemed to be pinched by her daughter. She was happy for Gu Shuixiu, so she half-swered and took the things away.
After a while, Gu Daniu rented the donkey cart back, "Mom, sister, I spent ten cents to rent it for a day."
Gu Shuixiu nodded, wondering if he wanted to buy a donkey cart for the Gu family, it would be convenient to go to the town in the future. After all, the Gu family is different from them. They can go to Linhai County by water, but the Gu family can only go to Panlong Town.
Zhao was happy at this moment. Although he was reluctant to leave, there was really nothing good at home to entertain people. He immediately took two chickens to the kitchen, intending to kill them. One was stewed to replenish Gu Mingde's body, and the other was used to entertain Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu.
Gu Shuixiu took advantage of Zhao's entry into the kitchen and secretly stuffed two taels of silver to Gu Daniu and whispered: "Daniu, wait until you find some time to walk out and return the two taels of silver to the doctor. No one will be able to walk around in the village now, and no one will see it. Let's pay back the money quietly."
Gu Daniu hesitated whether he should take the money, but he heard Dong Chenghu say, "Listen to your sister, go and go back quickly, don't let your mother-in-law know, wait until we leave. If you feel sorry for your sister, just be filial to you in the future."
Gu Daniu nodded heavily and responded quietly, leaving the door quietly, disappearing into the night.
When Zhao made delicious food, Gu Daniu also came back.
The family had dinner warmly, and Dong Chenghu and Gu Shuixiu went back to her room together.
Before dawn the next day, the Gu family had already gotten up, and Dong Chenghu drove the car, Zhao and Gu Shuixiu took care of Gu Mingde in the car, Gu Daniu and Gu Erniu stayed at home to work, so as not to run away, causing discussion among the villagers.
As soon as the four of them arrived in the town, they immediately went to find out where the clinic was located.
There is only one clinic in Panlong Town, you can tell where it is just by asking.
When Gu Shuixiu and his friends arrived, there was no one in the clinic. The young man was grinding the powder when he suddenly heard a pleasant woman's voice. He looked up and saw that it was a pretty little lady. He asked calmly: "Do you want to see a doctor or get medicine?"
"see a doctor."
"patient?"
Gu Shuixiu asked Dong Chenghu to carry Gu Mingde over, "The patient is my father, and he has been in a coma."
The guy looked at it, went up to take his pulse, arranged a bed for Gu Mingde, and then went into the backyard.
Soon, an old man with a white beard in a white robe walked out of it. His voice was a little hoarse, but his eyes were particularly clear and wise.
"Is this the patient?"
The guy nodded.
The old man immediately sat down to take Gu Mingde's pulse. Zhao was nervous, afraid that the doctor would say Gu Mingde was helpless.
The doctor took the pulse for a long time, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned, which made Gu Shuixiu feel worried.
It took me a long time to hear the doctor say, "The patient is lying on a long time, resulting in blood circulation, blockage of meridians, and bleeding in the brain. Fortunately, he is sent in time. If he is a few days later, it will be too late.
I first gave him a few injections, first evacuate the blood clots in his brain, so that people could wake up. I must come over for three consecutive days to see if I should continue to apply the injection according to the situation. However, this person has not been active for a long time, and some of his functions on his body have shrunk, and he still needs long-term conditioning. I will prescribe side medicine later, take it first, and come for a follow-up visit after a month."
Zhao was confused and didn't understand what the doctor meant. But she understood a few points. Gu Mingde had to come to see a doctor for three consecutive days and take medicine. He had to come again in a month. How much would that cost!
Zhao asked tremblingly, "Doctor, how much money do these cost?"
The old man looked at Zhao, then looked at the calm Gu Shuixiu and the glad Dong Chenghu, and said slowly: "Acupuncture is five hundred times at a time, one and a half for three consecutive days, and the dosage for one month is about one and a half, and the total is three or two silver."
Zhao took a breath when he heard this. They had owed the doctor two taels of silver in the village over the years, but they had to pay three taels of silver for one visit to the town for a while.
Zhao only felt darkness in front of him and almost fell.
Gu Shuixiu quickly supported Zhao and whispered to the doctor: "Doctor, just treat the doctor. You can use whatever medicine you need. I will pay the medical expenses."
The doctor did not delay hearing this and immediately started to perform acupuncture. Zhao and his men watched from the side and dared not speak.
After the doctor gave the acupuncture, Gu Shuixiu immediately settled the money.
After leaving the clinic, Gu Shui Xiucai said, "Mom, let's find an inn to stay for two days first. After my father finished the needle, he will return to Caozi Village. As for this donkey cart, let Cheng Hu go back first. You can go back first. We will take him back after my father's treatment."
Zhao was a little hesitant. After all, Gu Shuixiu was already married, and paying money and efforts made Zhao very sad. He asked them to serve Gu Mingde now. Zhao felt unhappy no matter how he said that.
Dong Chenghu saw Zhao's concerns and immediately said, "Let me do this, mother-in-law, I'll take you back first, and then bring Erniu to take care of my father-in-law. Is this how?"
