After hearing what Cheng Xue said, Mr. Du frowned in disbelief.
He has always been in good health and rarely gets sick. How could he be so serious? He couldn't be tricking him!
Thinking of this, Mr. Du grinned and said:
"Girl, are you kidding me? Is it really that serious? My health has been very good these years."
"I lied to you, do you have any candy? If you don't believe me, go to Shengrentang and take a pulse when you feel stable."
Cheng Xue tightened her needles as she spoke, with a look like "I didn't lie to you."
In this way, Mr. Du sighed and murmured to himself:
"I'd rather you were lying to me! What should I pay attention to in the future? I can't die now, and my grandson hasn't gotten married yet."
"Hey, now that you know how to cherish your life, what have you done?" Cheng Xue shook her head helplessly.
She has seen many such old men, especially those who have endured hardship and refuse to accept old age. For example, her grandpa. If grandpa hadn't been so tough, it wouldn't have reached the point of no return.
"You, please be careful not to be angry or tired from now on, stay less vigilant, and eat more..."
I explained in detail what he needed to pay attention to. The old man was also very serious this time and kept it in his heart.
"...That's pretty much it. You are no longer young, and you cannot accept old age."
"Okay, okay, I'll serve you, I'll serve you! Thank you, girl, can I sit up now?"
The old man's mentality was not bad. Cheng Xue smiled and helped him up, and warned:
"We are all living here during this period. If you feel uncomfortable, just ask Pingren to call me at home. When the child's father has finished his scientific examination and has the results, we will return to the village. What do you want to have then?
If you feel uncomfortable, don't be brave. Ask Pingren to take you to Shengrentang for medical treatment. You are the backbone of your child, so nothing will happen to you!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, I've written it all down and don't dare to do anything wrong again." The old man was really scared this time.
Seeing that Du Pingren hadn't come back yet, Cheng Xue asked Li Heng and Yan Yixin to stay here while she went home to write down the prescription. Fortunately, she discovered it in time. If she pays more attention in the future, it shouldn't be a big problem.
After leaving Du's house, she happened to meet the Zhang family's daughter-in-law next door. Cheng Xue returned to the hospital without saying a word. When she closed the door to the courtyard, she heard a low voice saying, "You are so arrogant," and then she smiled and replied loudly, "You are so arrogant." The woman outside the door was so angry that she grinded her teeth, while she hummed a little tune and felt happy.
Inside the house, Li Yue was sitting in the outer room washing clothes.
"Oh my dear, you don't need to do this. Mother can just wash it off."
They are all clothes for her, Li Hui, and the two little ones. Yan Yixin and the three of them wash their clothes themselves.
"It's okay, Mom. I'm not tired of doing laundry. There are only a few pieces left. My dad and the others are still next door?"
"Your father is not here, and has gone to chase Pingren. I asked Brother Xin and Tiedan to stay with the old man next door to avoid anything else. Mom enters the room and writes the prescription first, so don't be tired."
"Oh mother, I'm not made of paper, how can I be tired."
Cheng Xue smiled and went into the house to write down the prescription. When she took it to the next door, Du Pingren hadn't come back yet.
"Uncle, how about I help you get some medicine?"
"No need, I've already caused you a lot of trouble. Let him go when Pingren comes back."
"It's okay, uncle, grab the medicine as soon as possible and you can take it as soon as possible. If you take it early, you'll be better soon."
After hearing this, Mr. Du stopped insisting, took out a piece of silver and handed it to her, and asked:
"Is it enough?"
“If you don’t use it, it’s not an expensive medicine.”
"Then take it. If you don't spend it all, you can bring back any leftovers." Mr. Du did not search.
Don’t be suspicious when you employ people, and don’t use people when you are suspicious.
"Auntie, let me go with you."
Normally when she went shopping on the street, either he or Li Yue or Li Heng would accompany her. Cheng Xue did not refuse, nodded and took him out.
They all agreed that after Li Hui finished his science examination, they would go over there to inventory his things, and then deposit some of them into the bank and take some of them back to the village for planting vegetables.
The two walked through three streets and finally arrived at Shengrentang. Because of the last time they stocked up on medicine, all the medicine boys here knew her.
There was almost no time wasted in paying the money and grabbing the medicine. But when she was about to leave, she realized that something was wrong with Yan Yixin. Looking in the direction of his gaze, there was nothing else but pedestrians coming and going.
"What's up, Brother Xin, what are you looking at?"
Yan Yixin came back to her senses, shook her head and said "no", took the medicine in her hand, and walked forward.
There are two states when you follow me. What is the situation?
On the way back, neither of them spoke. When they were almost home, they saw Li Hui and Du Pingren walking in front.
Cheng Xue called them to stop, walked over, handed the medicine to the child, and said:
"When you get home, give your grandpa some medicine. Take it twice in the morning and evening. Take it for seven days and see. This is the remaining money, so take it. Don't get angry with your grandpa, he just won't accept it. Auntie will help you scare him.
Yes, as long as you pay careful attention in the future, your grandpa will definitely be fine."
Du Pingren took the medicine and money, bowed solemnly, and turned around to go home without saying a word.
What's going on? Why is something wrong with this kid? He came in a group!
Li Hui and others walked away and whispered:
"I'm under a lot of pressure. I just went to the academy to find the mountain director to sign up. Just like Wang Sen, I'm preparing for a seamless transition."
What?!
"Is it possible? I have to rush to sign up now? Have you asked the mountain leader? Is he strong enough?"
"The strength is there, but the enthusiasm is not enough. Let's see how many positions can be made available in this year's annual exam. If you are lucky, maybe you can succeed."
That means gambling is a big deal! I was forced to do so by my own grandfather, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to show off my strength.
Cheng Xue curled her lips, gestured with her eyes, and then went to Du's house to call Li Heng. She was not sure that she could ask Yan Yixin's inner thoughts, so she might as well let him do it.
After all, the children respect him very much!
As soon as she walked away, Yan Yixin looked up at Li Hui and said:
"Uncle, I saw Wen Tian. He is back. He actually has the nerve to come back. He..."
"Don't worry, who is this person you are talking about?"
"My father saved a man from Jianghu last year. He promised my father to protect my family for five years, but he broke his promise."
"When did you leave?"
"Two months before the accident, my father recovered from his injuries and left without saying goodbye." Yan Yixin gritted his teeth with hatred and clenched his fists, "He lied. If he didn't leave, nothing would happen to my father. In order to save him
, my dad spent a lot of money, he...he was ungrateful."
Li Hui understands his anger, but now that this Jianghu man is back, he will most likely fulfill his promise. He left without saying goodbye, probably because he had something to do.
"Then did he see you?"
"I saw it." Yan Yixin nodded, "But he disappeared after Auntie spoke."
Li Hui said "hmm", put his hand on his shoulder, and walked home.
If my guess is correct, this person will appear again. As for when... I don't know. It might be tonight, it might be tomorrow night, or it might be many nights later...
