Of course, Li Donglai couldn't let this patient, who paid a full ten yuan for consultation, be left alone.
He shouted to the onlookers, "The secret recipe passed down from our ancestors will never be leaked."
Then he took Gu Shen to the eaves of the hotel, rubbed off the black grease on the steps with his feet, and whispered: "Guizhi, Duhuo, white wine, eggs..."
These various herbs/ingredients made Gu Shen, who was already convinced, widen his eyes again, "Are you a doctor or a cook?"
Faced with doubts, Li Donglai skillfully explained the truth, "Young man, you don't understand. This is called the origin of food and medicine.
"Huangdi Neijing Taisu" records that what is taken on an empty stomach is food, and what is taken by patients is medicine."
After saying that, he quickly walked out of the pigeon market before Gu Shen could react.
I have received the consultation fee and the points, so there is no need to bother with him anymore.
Gu Shen was still thinking about the white wine eggs. When he raised his head, Li Donglai had disappeared.
Did he just call me young man?
I'm crazy...
...
Returning to the courtyard, Li Donglai carefully glanced into the back room and saw that his little sister was still sleeping soundly.
It was dawn soon, and he no longer felt sleepy. He turned on the coal stove and cooked corn noodle porridge.
When the porridge started to boil, Li Xiaomei ran out after smelling the smell, "Brother, today's porridge didn't boil!"
Li Donglai:...
After a sip of stick noodle porridge and a bite of sour radish strips, the two brothers and sisters were delighted.
Li Xiaomei: "Brother, I heard from the children in the compound that the wild boy from the Jia family had his foot caught in a mousetrap!"
Li Donglai: "Don't call others wild children. His name is Jia Gen, and he might be your classmate."
Li Xiaomei: "Okay, Jia Gong, that wild boy, has his foot broken?"
Li Donglai:...
After dinner, Li Donglai hurried to the steel rolling mill hospital and asked Master Ding for a half-day leave.
Then, he returned to the courtyard and put Li Xiaomei into a black and blue shirt made of recycled cloth.
Recycled cloth is a coarse cloth made from waste cloth strips re-woven in garment factories. It is strong and wear-resistant and does not require cloth stamps. It is very popular among ordinary people.
"Brother, how are you?" Li Xiaomei put on her new clothes for the first time, her face flushed with excitement.
Li Donglai looked up and down. He was wearing a blue shirt with black pants, and shoes with 100-layer soles on his feet. A small schoolbag made of rag strips was slung across the back of his buttocks.
Yeah, a complete elementary school student.
"Let's go, pupil, go to school!"
In the early morning, the bright rising sun coats everything with a light golden color,
The brother and sister shouted slogans and walked to Five Star Primary School.
It was not yet school time, and the primary school students were playing in the yard.
Boys push hoops, girls catch sheep crutches, and the noisy air is filled with an atmosphere of innocence.
Under the guidance of Yan Bugui, the brother and sister found the principal of the primary school.
The principal is a thin old man who always has a smile on his face and speaks in a leisurely manner. He is a good old man.
The good principal received the extra money, tuition fees, textbook fees, and homework fees, and quickly completed the admission procedures.
"Comrade Li Donglai, considering that your sister has not received preschool education, I specially assigned her to class one and class two."
"Teacher Ran, the head teacher of Class 1 and Class 2, is an outstanding teacher in our district. Her teaching level is very high. She will definitely help Xiaomei Li adapt to primary school life as soon as possible."
Faced with the principal's kindness, Li Donglai certainly couldn't refuse.
After thanking her repeatedly, he led Li Xiaomei to Teacher Ran's office.
Teacher Ran's full name is Ran Qiuye, and she is a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old.
He has deep facial features, a high bridge of nose, fair skin, and a black strip hanging straight down from his waist.
Not even that baggy blue and black top could cover up the light of the car lights.
Li Xiaomei muttered, it would be great if Teacher Ran could be my sister-in-law.
Ran Qiuye was leaning over the table writing lesson plans when he heard a knock on the door and raised his head.
A tall and handsome young man stood outside the door with a little girl.
Ran Qiuye thought of what Teacher Yan had inquired about two days ago and subconsciously asked, "Comrade, your daughter wants to enter school."
Li Donglai was about to answer but was overtaken by Li Xiaomei, "Brother, it's brother!"
She ran up to Ran Qiuye and raised her little face, "Teacher, my brother is a doctor. He is very capable. He can catch rabbits in winter and mice in autumn."
Ran Qiuye's beautiful eyebrows were knitted into knots, and she didn't associate rabbits and mice with great ability.
She looked at the cute little sister Li and smiled, "Yes, your brother is very capable. What is your name?"
"Li Xiaomei, Muzi Li, little sister's sister." Li Xiaomei tilted her head to show off her knowledge. She wanted to leave a good impression on this beautiful teacher.
Li Xiaomei's initiative made Li Donglai smile bitterly. When this little guy saw a girl of about the same age, he wanted to take her home to be his sister-in-law.
Last time, I met Cuihua from the next door village who came to see a doctor at the medical station.
She was so excited that she ran up and down, singing to others, and pouring boiling water.
Until she heard that Cuihua had a happy pulse, Li Xiaomei suddenly drooped her face and stood aside without saying a word.
Cuihua thought she had offended the barefoot doctor's sister, so she later brought half a catty of peanuts as an apology.
Hey, don’t tell me, that half a pound of peanuts is really delicious.
Ran Qiuye seems to like Li Xiaomei a little, her eyes are smiling like crescent moons:
"Student Li Xiaomei, class is about to start now.
You enter the class with the teacher and introduce yourself to the classmates.
OK?"
"Okay!" When Li Xiaomei heard that she could stand on the podium, she was so happy that she didn't even bother to introduce her brother. She took Ran Qiuye's hand and wanted to go out.
Ran Qiuye turned her head and looked at the young man who had not said a few words, "Comrade, I haven't asked you for your name yet."
"Li Donglai, come from the east, come from the east." Li Donglai smiled heartily.
This guy is really interesting.
Ran Qiuye wanted to say a few more words, but was pulled away by Li Xiaomei, "Teacher, hurry up, class is about to begin."
Li Donglai:...
Li Donglai, who was stabbed by his younger sister without hesitation, was still a little worried.
He moved closer to the window and looked into the classroom.
The small classroom was crowded with little heads, and Li Xiaomei was standing on the podium to give an introduction.
The blackboard is made of cement and lampshade oil mixed together and applied to the wall.
The classroom is paved with blue bricks, and the tables are long, crooked wooden tables.
Students also have a variety of chairs, including chairs and stools.
In the back row, there was a primary school student with a runny nose squatting on a stone.
...
Li Donglai suddenly slapped his head, "Oh no, I forgot to bring a chair for my little sister."
Forget it, let her stand for the whole day!
...
Tuanjiehu Hospital, Department of Cardiology.
Professor Du Zhongkui looked at the report card and frowned, "Xiao Shen, you just said that the young man could tell you had signs of a stroke just by looking at you twice?"
Gu Shen scratched the back of his head: "Uncle Du, it seems that whether I am really sick is more important, right?"
In Pigeon Market, Gu Shen was frightened by the talkative doctor.
It's not that he's afraid of death.
Born into the Gu family, Gu Shen was already prepared to sacrifice his life for the country.
However, he is just a small food station manager now.
Even if the illness occurs suddenly at work, the obituary will only read:
Comrade Gu Shen died in the line of duty on his way to purchase big fat pigs for the country.
