Chapter 13 Ginseng is about the size of my fingernail
Wang Kaifu sighed, "I've had enough of this old bone. I might as well die early. Don't waste any more money on me. I don't want to be a burden to you."
"Dad, what are you talking about! You are not a burden to us." Wang Yanmei said with red eyes and a reproachful tone.
Xu Qingzhi patted the back of his grandfather's hand and said softly: "Stop saying bad words. Don't worry about money. Just take good care of your health."
Hearing what Xu Qingzhi said, Wang Jinlan suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, Dad, we have a big star like Qingzhi in our family. If we have to worry about money, you can just rest in peace and recuperate. Qingzhi is really a filial person."
Granddaughter."
Wang Yanmei frowned.
When it comes to providing money to take care of the father, it is naturally the responsibility of the children, and it cannot fall on a granddaughter.
Over the years, Wang Yanmei has always tried her best to collect whatever money Wang Jinlan asked her to give. Even if it was not even 800,000, it would cost as much as 500,000.
She didn't think anything was wrong at first, but now she felt something wasn't right.
Wang Yanmei said bluntly: "If I want to say that Qingzhi is a filial granddaughter, does Linlin, the granddaughter, also have to show her respect?"
When Wang Jinlan heard this, she sighed, "Sister, Linlin is a loser. She got married the year before last and gave birth to a child this year. She doesn't have much money, and I can't bear to ask her for money."
Wang Yanmei knows that she shouldn't care about it. After all, he is her father, but she feels uncomfortable hearing these words.
Wang Kaifu also knew how to carry things, and he said with a straight face, "You two are idle at home every day, either playing cards or doing nothing. You go out to make money."
Wang Jinlan was unhappy, "Dad, aren't Hongwei and I doing this to take care of you?"
Just as they were about to start a quarrel, someone came.
Xu Qingzhi's grandmother, Chen Xiaoqing, walked in with a lunch box and said in a loud voice: "Why are you so noisy? I can hear you and your daughter quarreling from a distance. The nurse will have to remind you to keep your voice down later."
Behind him were several women, three of my grandmother’s seven sisters.
When Xu Qingzhi saw them, they called people one after another: "Grandma, third aunt, fourth aunt, fifth aunt."
"Qingzhi, you are back."
"You know you are a big star, you are beautiful again."
"Qingzhi, what kind of powder are you applying? Your skin is so white, it looks like it's glowing."
"I didn't apply powder." Xu Qingzhi said with a smile, feeling that such a complimentary occasion was so embarrassing that it made people dig their toes on the ground.
Fortunately, after a while, grandma and aunts remembered grandpa who had not eaten yet, so they quickly placed the lunch box on the small cabinet next to the hospital bed and opened the lunch box.
Wang Jinlan helped to roll up the hospital bed and set up a small table.
As soon as the food was placed on the table, Wang Kaifu's weak face became even weaker, and he asked in confusion: "Why are these dishes again?"
On the small table, I saw a bowl of white porridge, a bowl of cabbage, and a bowl of tofu.
"Hey, you old man is still picky about food. If you don't like to eat, I won't do it next time. You will just eat air." Chen Xiaoqing did not tolerate him.
Xu Qingzhi asked: "Grandpa just had surgery, can he eat these meals immediately?"
"It's not an important operation, it's just that the calf was swollen. The doctor made an incision and cleaned it." Grandma replied.
Wang Yanmei's expression changed. Looking at Wang Jinlan, Wang Jinlan lowered her head with guilt.
Xu Qingzhi raised her eyebrows, but she heard clearly that this aunt asked for thirty thousand.
Wang Yanmei didn't say a word, and Xu Qingzhi naturally didn't bother to expose it.
Xu Qingzhi remembered the purpose of coming this time and reminded: "Mom, ginseng water."
"Oh, yes, yes." Wang Yanmei suddenly remembered that she was holding something in her hand. She put it on the table and unscrewed it while saying, "Dad, this is the ginseng Qingzhi brought back from Zhoucheng. I told you to supplement it."
Make up. I’ve boiled it into soup, you can drink it and see.”
When the third aunt heard this, she quickly praised: "Qing Zhi is really filial, and even bought ginseng specially."
Zhou Hongwei looked over and laughed out loud, "This ginseng is about the same size as my fingernail, hahaha..."
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"It's better than some people buying nothing." Wang Kaifu defended forcefully. His hands were weak, so he asked the old woman to put the drinking straw into the ginseng water, thinking of drinking some ginseng water to moisten her throat.<
/p>
When the ginseng water enters the throat, a faint sweetness immediately slides down the throat. After two or three seconds, there is still a sweet ginseng flavor in the mouth.
Wang Kaifu worked with Chinese medicine when he was young, and he could tell whether something was good or not as soon as he tasted it.
Everyone looked at it, thinking that Wang Kaifu was just taking a few sips out of consideration for Xu Qingzhi's face, but he didn't want to take a sip, so he took several sips in succession.
I drank the ginseng water to the bottom!
Chen Xiaoqing was surprised and said: "Old man, don't just drink ginseng water, water will not make you full."
After Wang Kaifu finished drinking, he felt like he was a little more energetic.
He looked at Xu Qingzhi and asked directly: "This ginseng... isn't cheap?"
