Old Mrs. Jiang had seen the house written by Tian Shao and returned it to her after making sure it was OK: "The medicines above are all commonly available in the market. You can just go home and grab them."
Tian Shao nodded in agreement.
Old Mrs. Jiang added: "Xiaotian, if conditions permit, it is best to come back for a follow-up consultation in three months, so that I can adjust the prescription for you."
"Okay." This was a major matter related to her health, and she had to create conditions even if she didn't have the conditions. Besides, maybe her novel will be published in three months, and she wouldn't need to use the excuse of seeing a doctor to ask for leave by then.
Already.
Li Aihua struggled for a moment and asked tentatively: "Grandma Jiang, my lower abdomen has been bloated recently. Can you check it for me?"
One sheep was herded, two sheep were herded, and Mrs. Jiang never refused. This pulse diagnosis took less than three minutes, which was very fast.
Mrs. Jiang smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with your health. It's just that you are not feeling well because you have been depressed recently. I will prescribe a prescription for you to take for seven days."
What happened to Yan Yaozong left a knot in her throat and she lost all face. No matter how free and easy she spoke, it still left a scar. Especially when she thought about those things in the dead of night, she felt regretful.
Tian Shao consciously took out a pen and paper.
Mrs. Jiang looked at the prescription to make sure there were no typos, and said with a smile: "Little girl, your handwriting is good."
Tian Shao humbly accepted the compliment, then took ten yuan and five kilograms of food stamps and put them on the table: "Grandma Jiang, this is my medical fee. The money is not much, so I hope you won't shirk it."
Li Aihua also quickly took out the same amount of money and put it on the table.
Old Mrs. Jiang received a pound of food stamps from each person: "Take the rest back. If you are really grateful, don't tell anyone about me living here."
Tian Shao took all the money back but left the food stamps on the table: "Grandma, don't worry, Sister Aihua and I will never say a word. If I violate my oath, I will never be able to get married in this life."
Li Aihua also said: "If I say one word, I will never be able to get married in this life."
Although Old Mrs. Jiang didn't believe this, the actions of the two people obviously made her feel comfortable, and the smile on her face was a little more: "As long as you have this intention, take everything back!"
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Grandma, my family is in the countryside, and it is easier to exchange for money when we don't have enough food. Besides, in addition to working as an accountant in a textile factory, I also contribute articles to make money. Grandma, please be sure to accept these food stamps."
Li Aihua then echoed: "Grandma Jiang, four of our five members have jobs, so we have a relatively comfortable life. Just take the money and food stamps! If you don't take them, Xiao Shao and I will feel uneasy."
Mrs. Jiang hesitated for a moment, but still kept all the food stamps. As for the money, she didn't ask for it: "It's getting late, you should go back quickly!"
Tian Shao looked at his watch and saw that it was almost four o'clock. The two of them hurried to catch the bus. It got dark earlier in winter, and it was already dark by the time they arrived at the door of the machinery factory.
When they got off the bus, a figure came towards them.
Tian Shao's eyes were sharper, and he felt embarrassed when he saw the person coming: "Uncle..."
Li Aihua was a little surprised: "Second uncle, why are you here?"
Li Yuan scolded Li Aihua: "You are so old, why are you so ignorant? There are so many things to do and you have to call me when you get home late! You don't come back, and you don't have a phone call. I don't know that your aunt and I are worried.
ah?"
Tian Shao quickly apologized.
Li Aihua also felt that he was inconsiderate and also apologized.
Li Yuanyuan and the others admitted their mistake and lost some of their anger, but still said: "Forget it this time, we can't do this again next time. Okay, go back quickly, your aunt has cooked a table of dishes and is waiting for you two."
The two of them became more and more embarrassed, and when they entered the door, they hurriedly apologized to Aunt Li.
Aunt Li looked at the two of them and saw that they didn't look strange and didn't ask any questions. She smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that you guys came back. I've just prepared the dishes. You guys should go wash your hands and eat."
Seeing the two of them going to the bathroom, Aunt Li knocked on her daughter's door again.
After Tian Shao washed his hands and returned to the living room, he saw a girl sitting at the dining table. The girl had an oval face, a pair of big watery eyes, a high straight nose, and her skin was as flawless and crystal clear as white jade.
Li Aihua smiled and said: "Hongxing, let me introduce to you, this is my friend Tian Shao."
When Li Hongxing saw the two of them, he stood up and said with a smile: "Hello, sister Tian Shao, welcome to my home. My dad just told me about you and I admire you very much."
Such a hard-working and persevering girl deserves admiration and respect.
Tian Shao was a little embarrassed and said: "Sister Hongxing, you have given me the award."
Li Yuan brought a bottle of Maotai over and explained in Aunt Li's reproachful eyes: "With such a big table of dishes, I'm sorry for your hard work if you don't drink some wine."
Tian Shao pursed his lips and smiled. It seemed that Uncle Li was also a good man who loved his wife.
Aunt Li couldn't speak to him in front of the guests, but she put away the wine after Li Yuan poured her a glass of wine.
This meal consists of five dishes and one soup, namely spicy chicken, braised lion head, stir-fried pork with chili, stir-fried bean sprouts, mapo tofu, and finally a three-fresh soup.
Tian Shao said: "Auntie, you have to cook so many dishes when you have to go to work. It's really hard on you."
Li Hongxing immediately dismissed the situation, pointed to the three hard dishes on the table and said: "These three are brought back from the canteen. The two vegetarian dishes and the soup were made by my mother."
Aunt Li glanced at her daughter. She had never seen such a deceitful child: "You damn girl, I can't stop your mouth with so many dishes. If you think Mom's cooking skills are not good, can you not eat it?"
"
Li Hongxing hummed and said, "If I don't come back to eat, will you and dad scold me again?"
Saying this in front of outsiders, Aunt Li was a little embarrassed to get off the stage: "Xiao Shao, I'm going to make you laugh!"
Tian Shao smiled and said: "No, no, I often talk back to my mother at home. Sometimes my mother is so angry that she says she must have owed me money in her previous life, and she will repay it in this life. But she scolds me fiercely at home and turns around.
Just show off to the people in the village that I am filial and considerate, and you will rely on me when you get old."
Not only did Aunt Li feel comfortable hearing this, but Li Hongxing was also happy.
Li Aihua was surprised and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to talk back to your mother?"
Tian Shao said with a smile: "My family used to be so poor that my mother wanted to break a penny in half and spend it, so every time she saw me buying something, she felt like I was wasting money and wanted to scold me. But all I bought was food.
I used to talk back because I felt wronged when I was scolded. In fact, no one was wrong, it’s just that my mother and I have different ideas.”
Aunt Li didn't agree with this and said, "You have to buy things that are useful, but buying flashy things is a complete waste of money."
Li Hongxing didn't say anything, just looked at Tian Shao.
Tian Shao shook his head and said: "Auntie, my mother almost fell out with me to buy this watch. She told her that buying a watch is a complete waste of money, but for me, having it can help me plan my time better."
This is actually the difference in thinking, values and life attitudes between the two generations. According to modern terms, it is the generation gap.
Li Yuanyuan, Aunt Li wanted to say more, and changed the subject with a smile: "Shuyi, let the children eat quickly, the vegetables will be cold if you don't eat them."
