Chapter 51 You Are My Aunt
Lu Baichuan suddenly couldn't sit still. He was not just for Tuanxia, he just had a meal, but when the sister-in-law looked at him just now, he felt that she must have misunderstood.
The gaze made him a little unbearable, so he quickly finished the remaining noodles and said goodbye to An Xia with a little hasty.
An Xia had a meal, washed the dishes, and went to Aunt Ma's house.
"Xia Xia, why did Mr. Lu eat at your house? Does he like you? I think he is good and suitable for you. You are eighteen years old. Have you considered finding a boyfriend? Although Mr. Lu looks serious, he is good to you and to his aunt, and he is a responsible man."
An Xia was so amused that Aunt Ma’s thinking jumped too fast, and she had to talk about marriage after having a meal.
"Aunt Ma, it's already past meal orders when he sent me back. I can't even give it to others. Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense. What if Mr. Lu doesn't come? Xia Xia, you are also a girl. None of your aunts are worried about you. My aunt is old and in poor health. You can only plan the marriage by yourself.
You are just as old as a flower. If you don’t look for it now, you will be picked up by someone. That Mr. Lu is not young. If he doesn’t have a girlfriend, that’s a good choice. If you are so destined to be with him, it’s great that he will love others when he is older.”
As Aunt Ma said, she found that An Xia's eyes were a little flustered and her cheeks became pink. She thought that An Xia was also interested in Lu Baichuan, but everyone in the big girl's house was ashamed of that. There was no reason for this kind of thing to be mentioned by herself.
She seemed to understand something and patted An Xia's back of her hand, "Xia Xia, don't worry, although I am not your dear aunt, I have always treated you as a girl. If you really like Mr. Lu, I will ask him if you find an opportunity."
"No, aunt, don't!"
An Xia hurriedly stopped him and gradually woke up from his dizzy state. "Aunt, I'm still young, and I don't know if Lu Baichuan has a girlfriend. Now I'll take good care of my grandmother first and talk about what happened in the future."
Aunt Ma also knew that such a thing was too urgent, but a good man had to make a decision early. She just thought An Xia was shy, but she made up her mind to find an opportunity to get into a trap for Lu Baichuan first, and see if he had a girlfriend. If he didn't figure it out, it would be better to bring An Xia rashly.
The girl's reputation is like the flawless jade, which cannot tolerate any flaws.
After this incident, Aunt Ma told An Xia about her sister-in-law's desire to see a Chinese medicine doctor.
When An Xia heard this, she thought it was awful. She looked at Aunt Ma's face carefully. Sure enough, the color of the complexion is not a little stronger than makeup. No matter how white the makeup is, it is pink and white, and lacks the luster of the skin. However, although Aunt Ma's skin is not that white, it can remove freckles, which is at least two degrees whiter than before. It also shows that it is red and white tender from the bottom, and the wrinkles on her face have become much lighter. It can be said that she is ten years younger.
An Xiasi took a moment, raised her head and said, "Aunt Ma, I'm not invisible. Your face is actually not cured by traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who walk around the world. I'm all the medicines you apply and the medicines you take."
Aunt Ma's eyes gradually widened, even half-opening her mouth, unable to believe her ears.
"Xia, Xiaxia, you... can see a doctor? Why don't I know, who did you learn Chinese medicine from? How could this be possible? Why didn't I know about this? There are such a powerful Chinese medicine doctor nearby, why haven't I heard of it at all?"
Another series of questions, An Xia smiled in entanglement. As expected, she told a lie and wanted countless lies to fulfill them. She really made a mistake.
"Aunt Ma, my master is gone. Before I finished learning, he did not allow me to practice medicine. I accidentally broke the example and had violated my promise. The Ice-Qing Jade Skin Paste you used was also configured by my master. The medicinal materials are so expensive and the configuration is very troublesome. So please keep it confidential. Don't tell anyone, otherwise you will ask me for Ice-Qing Jade Skin Paste, and I don't have it. And before I don't have the ability to see a doctor thoroughly, try to keep it as low-key as possible. Master is afraid that I will get into trouble, so he came to our side in vain and is already incognito. This involves complexity. If someone knows, it may be dangerous."
An Xia fooled her and was stunned for Aunt Ma, but when she heard An Xia say that there was danger, her heart immediately became nervous and said, "I didn't tell them the truth. I just said I went to the Chinese medicine hospital for treatment. Xia Xia will not cause you any trouble."
"It's okay now, but whoever asks you in the future will say that. Aunt Ma, please remember."
"Yeah." Aunt Ma nodded desperately, as if the harder she tried, the more she could express her inner firmness.
"Xia Xia, it was you who cured my face. I am so happy. I have never been as happy as I am now. Since my face has been cured, all the aggrievances in the first half of my life have disappeared. Please let me thank you."
Aunt Ma hugged An Xia, and as she spoke, tears fell down and her voice choked. Her face could be said to be her whole life's heart disease. She had been ugly for decades. Unexpectedly, she would have cured it one day because she looked pocky, and no one had ever praised her for being good-looking. Even her husband refused to look at her directly. Sometimes she even quarreled and always talked about the pocky scribble on her face, always saying that if she hadn't seen her virtuously, why would she find a numb-faced woman like this so heartbreaking.
Since her face has healed, Aunt Ma has never felt that the air is so fresh in her life, and she is so comfortable and happy to walk with her head raised and her chest.
"Aunt Ma, I have wanted to treat you for a long time, but I have never been able to match Bingqing Jade Skin Ointment. The medicine needed for that plaster is too difficult to find."
An Xia comforted Aunt Ma a few words, and soon Aunt Ma ran to her house again and took out an iron box from under the big wooden wardrobe. After opening it, there was a stack of fifty yuan bills inside. She first took two fifty yuan from the box, but she was a little confused. After a moment, she gritted her teeth and took two fifty yuan again. The money in the box instantly decreased by half.
"Xia Xia, you can take this."
An Xia looked down and saw that Aunt Ma was stuffing money into her hand, so she immediately pushed it out.
"Xia Xia, my aunt's family doesn't have much money, and the family has too much burden, but this is my aunt's wish. When your grandmother comes out, she will buy her some food to nourish her body."
"Aunt!" An Xia was annoyed and pushed the money back to Aunt Ma.
"Auntie, your family is not in good condition, how can I ask for your money? I have always treated you as my dear aunt. I should pay for the treatment. If you ask me to collect money, isn't this a slap in the face? I, An Xia, is not the kind of person who has no conscience. From childhood to adulthood, except grandparents, you treat me the best. If you take your money, I will be no longer a human."
Seeing An Xia say this, Aunt Ma had to collect the money. When she was about to send An Xia away, she at least brought two salted fish to An Xia and asked her to go back and eat slowly.
From then on, someone asked Aunt Ma how to cure her face. Aunt Ma explained that she went to the Chinese medicine hospital for treatment and kept the secret in her heart firmly.
