Not long after, Chen Shougong and a professor from the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine also came to Tianjin Hall. They were very surprised to see that there were almost no patients in Tianjin Hall. Normally, there would be a long queue at Tianjin Hall at this time.
After asking, I found out that the Dragon Medical Hall across the street not only advertised free medical treatment for imperial medical disciples, but also that those who went to the Dragon Medical Hall for medical treatment could also receive free eggs. Therefore, except for some people who had made an appointment at Tianjin Hall,
Except for the patients, all other patients chose to go to Long Medical Hall.
However, these few people were free. After treating a few patients, Chen Shougong took Xiao He and talked about some of the medical problems he encountered.
An hour passed like this, and suddenly Xiao's mother walked up to Xiao He.
During this time, Xiao's mother also stayed in the hospital and helped with some chores. At this time, Xiao's mother said with a happy face: "Xiaohe, you are not very busy today. Come out with me later! Your cousin
I came to Jincheng with my cousin."
"Ah! Which cousin?" Xiao He was very confused. Although he knew that there were many relatives on his mother's side in Zhongzhou, they had almost no contact in these years. Why did they suddenly come to Jincheng?
"This is the cousin who stayed with us when you accompanied me to Zhongzhou when you were eight years old!" Xiao's mother continued.
Hearing what his mother said, Xiao He had some memories. Back then, he and his mother went to Zhongzhou to celebrate his grandfather's birthday. The entire Xiao family didn't want to see them. Only a cousin from the Xiao family stayed at home.
One night.
However, he had a very bad impression of this cousin. When his uncle brought them home, he and his mother were often ridiculed by this cousin.
But he knew that his mother valued the few family ties very much, so he did not refuse, "Okay! Mom, I will go with you later!"
I hope this cousin will change! Otherwise, he will never tolerate the bullying of his mother like he did when he was a child.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, Xiao He left Tianjin Hall with his mother and went to a big hotel where he had agreed with his aunt.
At this time, in a private room of the hotel, a middle-aged woman who looked good but wore heavy makeup was applying makeup in front of the mirror. She was Xiao He's cousin Shen Cui'e.
Next to Shen Cui'e is sitting a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old. He has blue hair and silver earrings on his ears. He looks lively. This is Shen Cui'e's son Xiao Qiang, who is a few years younger than Xiao He.
Years old, I just entered college this year.
Xiao Qiang said while playing a mobile game: "Mom, didn't you say that mother and son are very poor? If we come to such a high-end restaurant, will they be able to pay the bill in a while?"
Shen Cui'e said nonchalantly: "So what if you can't afford it? Aren't there so many online loans now? If you can't afford it, let them take out a loan! Anyway, they themselves said they wanted to treat us, so we can't treat ourselves badly."
"Xiaoqiang, remember, you can order whatever you want to eat later, but don't save money for them. They owe this to our family."
"Okay, Mom, I won't be polite to them."
At this moment, the door of the box was pushed open, and Xiao's mother and Xiao He walked into the box one after another. The conversation between Shen Cui'e and her son just now was naturally heard by Xiao He, so he looked at the two
People's eyes are very cold.
On the contrary, Mrs. Xiao was very enthusiastic. As soon as she entered the door, she immediately said with a smile on her face: "Cui'e, Xiaoqiang, you are all here! Are you tired from the road?"
However, Xiao Qiang was still playing with his mobile phone with his head down, without even looking at Xiao's mother.
Shen Cui'e turned her head and glanced at Xiao He and her son, but her eyes were extremely contemptuous, and her expression showed a condescension like looking at poor relatives in the countryside.
She said calmly: "It's okay! Let's sit down and order! We are all starving." After that, she called the waiter, picked up the menu on one side, and the mother and son started sketching the pictures directly.
The mother and son of the river stood aside.
Seeing his mother's hot face touching someone's cold ass, Xiao He was about to get angry, but Xiao's mother, who knew her son well, pulled her aside and sat down, and kept winking at her son. Xiao He could only sigh helplessly in his heart. He just wanted to eat early now.
After dinner, I took my mother and left.
While waiting for the food, Shen Cui'e glanced at Xiao's mother and said coquettishly: "His third aunt, I remember that when Xiao He went to college, Wen Tao gave your family a red envelope of two thousand yuan. Now that Xiaoqiang is admitted to college, what's going on with your family?"
You have to express your feelings!"
"Although I know that life is not easy for you orphans and widowed mothers, this is a kind of etiquette after all. You can't just think about getting in and not thinking about getting out!"
Xiao He's eyes were opened. He had seen people forcing red envelopes on people, and he had also seen people pretending not to accept the red envelopes but accepting them calmly. But this kind of people asking for red envelopes in front of the owner, as if they were debt collection, he
I haven't really seen it yet.
"Yes, yes!" Mother Xiao replied, taking out a thick red envelope from her pocket.
Xiao He glanced at the red envelope and estimated it was at least 10,000 yuan. He couldn't help but shake his head. It wasn't that he felt sorry for the money, but he felt that his mother was too kind! He was usually reluctant to spend money, but he was not stingy with his relatives.
Seeing Xiao's mother take out the red envelope, Xiao Qiang looked directly at Xiao's mother, and then quickly took the red envelope without even saying thank you.
It seems that in his opinion, this is what Xiao's mother should do.
Shen Cui'e was also secretly surprised when she saw Xiao's mother giving out a big red envelope. She had never expected that this poor relative selling fruit would be so generous. At this moment, she suddenly seemed to remember something.
"His third aunt! When I came here this time, I also brought you a gift."
As she spoke, Shen Cui'e took out a long and exquisite packaging box from the chair next to her, and she opened it in front of several people.
I saw an ivory carving lying quietly inside the packaging box. On the white jade-like ivory, eight lifelike horses were carved, which was simple, smart and full of classical charm.
Xiao He was slightly surprised when he saw this. This thing seemed to be worth hundreds of thousands! Is this mean cousin really willing to give it to his mother?
Xiao's mother was also shocked, and she quickly waved her hand and said: "Cui'e, we are all a family, you don't need to give me such a good gift." Xiao's mother was originally from a big family, so she could naturally see how precious this tooth carving was.
Shen Cui'e rolled her eyes at Xiao's mother and said jokingly: "His second aunt, you misunderstood. This tooth carving is not for you. What I want to give you is this pendant."
After that, Shen Cui'e took out a white pendant the size of a little finger from next to the ivory carving. This pendant was also carved from ivory, but it was made from a very small scrap. It was a gift from the store when she bought the ivory carving.
Xiao He could no longer restrain himself when he saw this scene. This thing can be seen everywhere on street stalls and can be bought for just a few dozen yuan, so he said angrily: "Auntie, what do you mean?"
In fact, he doesn't care about the quality of the gift, but what he cares about is Shen Cui'e's behavior. Either you don't give someone a gift, but if you give it to someone, you have to use snacks. In Xiao He's opinion, this is humiliating his mother.
Shen Cui'e said angrily: "What's wrong? This ivory pendant I gave to your mother is already very good. Why don't you still want my ivory carving? Are you worthy of this ivory carving? It's so heartless that snakes swallow elephants!"
Xiao He's face turned cold and his voice was stern: "Why are we not worthy? Is this ivory carving still like some people, looking down on others and dividing them into three, six or nine grades?"
