Mr. Nie was surrounded by a group of villagers. He didn't even see Gu Nan coming in. However, the village chief who was sitting next to him basking in the sun waved enthusiastically when he saw Gu Nan coming in.
"Is this a free clinic today? Are there so many people?"
The village chief said with a smile, "People in our village are usually reluctant to go to the hospital for medical treatment. They tolerate even minor illnesses and disasters. Why don't the doctors in the city come? They all want to take this opportunity to let the old doctor give him a visit."
Look, those who are sick come to see a doctor themselves, and those who are not sick call their sick relatives over to see a doctor, and patients from other villages come."
What the village chief said was like a tongue twister, but Gu Nan still understood what he meant.
Rural people are like this, frugal and enthusiastic.
"Where is my master?" Gu Nan asked the village chief.
The village chief glanced at the main room and said, "I was sent by Mr. Nie to get medicine for the patient."
Regarding this, the village chief looked gloating, "Finally someone can cure him."
Just now, Nie Yun's face turned into ashes, but he still obeyed and went into the house to grab medicine.
When Gu Nan heard this, she also had a smile on her face. She put the ribs, vegetables and steamed buns she was carrying into the kitchen.
Coming out of the kitchen, she took out two packs of Hardman cigarettes from her pocket and gave them to the village chief.
Nie Yun does not smoke, but the village chief smokes cigarettes all the year round.
The village chief saw the unopened cigarette box in her hand and looked at her suspiciously, "Girl, what are you doing?"
Gu Nan smiled and explained, "My father-in-law bought this for you. He hopes that you can make another trip to Jiang Dajia. My father-in-law said that he wants a gift of three thousand, and the Lu family is willing to pay it."
As soon as Gu Nan said this, the village chief looked strange, "What did you say? Are you willing to pay a gift of three thousand?"
Isn’t this a case of being taken advantage of?
The villagers waiting for medical treatment heard the village chief's voice and looked over.
"Uncle, let's go inside and chat."
After entering the house, Gu Nan explained, "My husband's family and my brother-in-law are very satisfied with Jiang Ping. They don't want to break up a beautiful couple because of the bride price, so we can only compromise."
The village chief sighed. As a parent, he understood the painstaking efforts of being a parent.
It is not easy to propose a marriage to a child. They ask for a huge amount of betrothal gift. If you agree, you will have to sell iron and debt and you will be in debt. If you don't agree, your son will have no partner.
Especially when three or four sons are born in the village, it really kills the parents.
When there was no guaranteed household income, families with more sons had more labor, more work points, and a prosperous life.
After the household responsibility system, families with more sons will not have an advantage at all.
Especially in recent years, there have been more and more bachelors in the village, and the price of bride price has increased seriously, which makes him, the village chief, very sad.
The village chief looked at Gu Nan and said excitedly, "Girl, let me tell you something. I tried a trick on Jiang Dahai last night, but he let go."
Gu Nan looked happy when he heard this, "Really?"
The village chief nodded firmly, "Of course it is true. He promised to give her a bride price of one thousand and two thousand dollars, just like other girls in the village."
"Uncle, how is this possible? Why did Jiang Dahai suddenly change his gender? So much loss all of a sudden?"
Based on her knowledge from traveling across rivers and seas, if he catches this sheep of the Lu family, he will definitely kill it until it loses its hair.
Nie Yun, who was grabbing medicine in front of the Chinese medicine cabinet, gave an accurate answer to Gu Nan's doubts.
"People want to play the long game and catch big fish."
Lice on a bald man's head is obvious.
Gu Nan, "!!!"
Nie Yun looked at her like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and Gu Nan understood immediately.
Oh my god, Jiang Daida is not stupid at all.
He shamelessly approached her to get married, but she ignored him. Was he trying to use roundabout tactics to get in touch with her through marriage?
.
"Master, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will never be that big fish."
Gu Nan was not worried about this problem at all. It was Jiang Ping who Xu Zheng married, and she wanted to take advantage of Xu Zheng's marriage.
At this moment, she just wanted to say something to Jiang Dahai, don't bother me.
As soon as she said this, Nie Yun's expression relaxed a little.
In any case, it was a good thing that the village chief allowed Jiang Daaba to reduce the bride price. She thanked her sincerely, "Uncle, thank you."
"You're welcome. Jiang Dahai must be anxious today. I asked him to wait for the news until I come back from Jinshui Village. If he comes to see me later, we will be more assertive and subdue him once, so that he won't go back on his promise again.
What a mess."
"Okay."
Nie Yun called her impatiently, "Come and get the medicine."
"Master, aren't you arresting me?"
"You said it, I am the master."
Nie Yun put down the small steel scale, and Gu Nan could only go over and get medicine for the big guy.
Nie Yun came out of the main room and looked at the old man sitting in the sun. He had not stopped since lunch and looked at the old man of no less than ten villagers. After all, he still felt a little sorry for him. He opened the air vent cover of the briquette stove and waited for the fire to be strong.
The tea was brought to him.
A piece of rock sugar was specially placed inside.
When Mr. Nie was seeing a doctor, his expression was extremely serious and he didn't even bother to drink water.
Very responsible for patients.
Especially when dealing with villagers in these remote mountainous areas, he made as clear a diagnosis as possible, treated those who were sick, and treated those who were not sick for physical examination.
Nie Yun's family has a blood pressure measuring instrument, which was issued by the health center, but it may have been used for a long time, and the measurement is often inaccurate.
Mr. Nie planned to spend his own money and asked Gu Nan to go to the county town to buy a blood pressure measuring machine, as well as some medicines that Nie Yun's family did not have. He made a list.
Then I asked Gu Nan to go shopping. Tomorrow, I will measure the blood pressure of all the middle-aged and elderly people in the village, and conduct physical examinations using a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
The villagers who did not need acupuncture took the medicine and left. Several patients who needed acupuncture waited aside, waiting for Mr. Nie to read to others before giving them acupuncture.
Gu Nan actually wanted to share the burden with Mr. Nie. She wanted to say that her acupuncture skills were even better than Mr. Nie's.
However, if she said this, the villagers would just think she was joking.
He will also despise her.
Everyone knows the old doctor from the city.
After all the medicine was taken, Mr. Nie was giving the patient acupuncture.
Gu Nan went to the kitchen and stewed the ribs on the honeycomb briquette stove.
Then he came out to attack Mr. Nie.
By the time the last patient was sent away, the meaty aroma of the ribs had already begun to dissipate.
"Grandpa, come in and take a rest. You are very tired today."
The sun in early winter is warm for a while. At three or four o'clock, the sun has lost much power, and the yard has begun to become cold.
Mr. Nie looked tired, but he was in good spirits. He hadn't treated a patient like this for a long time.
Tired and happy.
Mr. Nie went into the house and got on the kang, lying down to rest.
Gu Nan went to the kitchen.
At this moment, Jiang Dahai entered Nie Yun's yard with a roar.
It is said that evil cannot prevail against good. Every time Jiang Dahai came to Nie Yun's house, he would sneakily poke his head at the door first.
At this moment, as soon as he poked his head in, he heard the village chief's voice.
So, walk in quickly.
He sniffed and saw Gu Nan coming out of the kitchen. He smiled cheekily and greeted her, "Nan Nan, where are you cooking the meat?"
