The son of the Xiao family is naturally happy when outsiders praise his grandmother.
Xiao Zhonglu's face was red and he couldn't hide his blush. As for Xiao Zhongli, he just chatted with him at first, but now he became enthusiastic towards the person speaking.
The lines of Xiao Zhongli's facial features are a bit cold. When he has a straight face, he gives people the illusion of being serious and angry for no reason. Now he calms down, like a melting iceberg, blending into the warmth and coldness of the world, making those who look at him look at him.
The man was stunned for a moment.
Xiao Zhongli touched his face and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"
The man struggled for a long time before he found the words to describe it and said: "You must be very filial to your grandmother."
"How to say?"
The man scratched his head, "I'm not afraid of offending anyone when I say this. When you talked to me just now, you looked enthusiastic, but you just have that kind of..."
Xiao Zhonglu: "Rejecting people thousands of miles away?"
Man: "Yes, yes, that's how it feels."
Alienation, indifference.
It was as if no one could get into this guy's eyes. Only when he was talking to his brother did he smell like a human being. The rest of the time, he and other long-term workers felt very reserved.
The man quickly added: "But when it comes to your grandmother, it's Doctor Tang. Especially when I said something nice about Doctor Tang, you became warmer. From this look, Doctor Tang must be very respected by you."
Xiao Zhongli didn't expect that his thoughts could be seen through so easily...
When he was at Qian's house, he had a gloomy mind. It was only when he came to Xiao's house that he changed his mind, but he still showed no emotion or anger. Logically speaking, if someone exposes him, he should be angry and angry. If he doesn't like this person, he will even say rude words.
, to make people unable to stand down, so that they can cover up the facts.
But he didn't resent it.
He doesn't resent others thinking he respects his grandmother.
Obviously, when he was in the Qian family, Xiao Yuechun protected him, and he also cared about Xiao Yuechun. However, when the Qian family knew about his weaknesses, they began to operate on Xiao Yuechun, torturing him physically and mentally, causing him to learn to hide his weaknesses and treat those he cared about.
People are indifferent. They never expose their shortcomings externally. Only by hiding them deeply will they not be easily hurt.
Yes, that's right.
But the one who praised him was none other than his grandmother.
The grandmother who even gave up on him, but still protected him; the grandmother who led the family to escape from danger many times on the road of exile and came to the border; the grandmother who knew that there was a gap in his heart, would rather treat him coldly, and would rather "learn from each other"
The son should also be given to him silently, a grandmother who can give an explanation to the whole family.
No, his grandmother is not his weakness, but his strong mountain and his lifelong support.
If I had to define weakness, it would be him, not my grandmother.
Arriving at Qixiang Village, shopkeeper Chu counted the number of people and saw the strange thing removed from brother Xiao Zhonglu's neck, so he asked, "What is this?"
Xiao Zhongli: "It's a neck pillow. It was designed by my grandmother. I heard that my eldest brother and I were napping on the carriage. This specially designed pillow can be used to sleep on one's back against the wall of the carriage, which is good for the cervical spine."
Shopkeeper Chu was stunned for a while, not knowing what he was thinking. Finally he said: "Can I take a look?"
"Of course." Xiao Zhongli handed it over generously.
Shopkeeper Chu looked around, not casually, but very carefully. When he was done, he squeezed it a little harder and said, "What's inside?"
"cotton."
"Did your grandmother design this neck pillow? Can it be widely circulated?"
Xiao Zhongli and Xiao Zhonglu looked at each other and said, "I have to go back and ask my grandmother."
Therefore, on the next day, shopkeeper Chu did not follow him to Qixiang Village, so Tang Zangyue came to the grain store in person.
Shopkeeper Chu was fiddling with his abacus. When he heard the movement, he greeted him warmly, "Sir, just take a look?"
"I'm here to see you, Shopkeeper Chu."
"Looking for me? Who are you?"
Tang Zangyue: "I am Brother Lu and Brother Li's grandmother."
"Oh oh oh, it turns out it's you. I didn't know why you came..."
Tang Zangyue: "You asked my brother whether neck pillows can be widely circulated? Does Shopkeeper Chu have an opinion?"
Shopkeeper Chu pondered for a moment and said: "To be honest with you, Madam, the business of my family's grain store is not only done in Bianguan Town, but also transported to other counties. The fatigue of the past few days has indeed had a great impact on the cervical spine. Although I don't need it now.
I personally went to other counties, and I still have my sons and slaves, but I don’t want them to end up with this uncomfortable disease like me."
Tang Zangyue: "Cervical spondylosis? But I often feel dizzy? Things shake?"
"Yes, yes, it's this disease. Dr. Xue in the town has seen it for me. I've also seen doctors in other counties. I even asked the apprentice of the imperial doctor in the capital. It's difficult to cure..."
"Let me help you take a look?"
Shopkeeper Chu was stunned for a long time, unable to move from what the other party said about the neck pillow to the consultation.
After a while, shopkeeper Chu patted his forehead and said: "Look at my memory. I heard that you also have medical skills? My brain has not turned around, it has not turned around, you can do whatever you want."
They didn't even say they'd give him any money, and besides, it really hurt his cervical vertebra. Wasn't he just ruining his reputation?
That's why Shopkeeper Chu allowed Tang Zangyue to do whatever he wanted, and he was very relaxed.
Tang Zangyue nodded slightly: "Please sit down, Shopkeeper Chu, so that I can help Shopkeeper Chu take a look at the condition of the back of his neck."
After the autumn harvest, there were more people walking on the street than usual, and some people gathered around the door of the grain store to watch this strange scene.
There are more and more people.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Isn't this the shopkeeper Chu of Liangpu? What happened?"
"Who's behind him?"
"It seems to be Dr. Tang from Jiuli Village."
"you know?"
"Of course. I sprained a few days ago, and I happened to run out of medicinal wine at home. It would take some time to go to town to find Dr. Xue, so I asked Dr. Tang for help. Unexpectedly, he straightened my sprained foot directly! He straightened my sprained foot immediately!
It doesn’t hurt anymore! Do you think it’s magical? Afterwards, I still wanted to go to the fields to work. Doctor Tang told me not to do heavy work in the past few days. The sprain only looked better on the surface, and my muscles and bones still needed to be nourished.
Today I came to the town to buy medicinal wine from Dr.
Don’t you think you have this ability!”
"so smart?"
"Can I still trick you?"
"Look, Doctor Tang seems to be... pressing the back of Shopkeeper Chu's neck?"
"I've heard that shopkeeper Chu often staggers when looking at things, and sometimes he can't stand still. I went to see Dr. Xue and he said it was a problem with his cervical spine? There's no guarantee that it will be cured, but it can only be slowed down?"
"Is it possible that Doctor Tang has some idea?"
"? Need an acupuncture? Prick the back of the neck?"
Suddenly, someone felt a chill running down their spine.
But shopkeeper Chu Chu of the grain shop enjoyed it very much.
Simply speaking, this massage technique is very beneficial, not only relieving the heavy pain, but as soon as the needle was inserted, shopkeeper Chu Chu let out a strong breath.
A moment.
Tang Zangyue collected the needle bag and said, "Okay, Shopkeeper Chu, you can move around."
Activities? How to do activities?
His neck has not been able to move freely for a long time. If the arc is too large or the force is too strong, it cannot turn back. He has to go to Dr. Xue for help.
To be honest, even though his senses are very good now, he doesn't dare to act rashly.
