"Mom, I want my sister to stay with me at home, okay?" Zhushan obviously heard that Zhuqing was going to Doctor Qian's house, and he raised his face and acted coquettishly towards Mrs. Wang.
"Sister can't accompany you. Sister has to work at Dr. Qian's house to pay for your consultation fee!" Zhu Qing said to him as he stood up.
"Sister, I'm the only one at home today. Can you come back early?" Zhushan looked disappointed when Zhuqing said this, and lowered his request.
"Okay, just take your medicine at home, take some rest, and get well soon. My sister will take you out to play." Seeing him like this, Zhu Qing comforted him softly.
"Well, I will definitely take medicine and never get sick again! This will save my sister from going out to work!" Zhushan was so sensible that it made people feel sad.
Mrs. Wang felt very uncomfortable as she listened to the conversation between her children. She turned her head away and quietly rubbed her sore eyes. If the family had not been able to do anything about it, she would naturally not be willing to let her daughter work as a helper at such a young age.
But if you make a promise, you can't break your promise.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was tense, Zhu Qing said with a smile: "It's okay, my sister goes to work at Doctor Qian's house, and his house provides a meal. Maybe you can get some good food! Don't worry, I will definitely come back early.
of!"
Looking at his smiling sister, Zhushan's mood was soothed.
"Okay, sister, go early and come back early!" Zhushan nodded.
So Zhu Qing quickly got dressed, drank a large bowl of potato porridge that was so thin that you could see a person's figure in it, picked up two warm corn cakes, and went out.
Last time when she was in a hurry to see a doctor for Zhushan, she didn't pay attention to the plants in the fields. This time when she went out, she paid careful attention and found many of the most common Chinese herbal medicines growing in the wild fields beside the road.
It's just that they grow together with many wild flowers and grasses, so you really can't find them if you don't pay attention.
Plantain, raspberry, wolfberry, mugwort, nux vomica, wild honeysuckle, thistle, after paying a little attention, Zhuqing found that there are quite a lot of species.
It's just that they are all wild and no one cares for them, so they are not particularly lush. And the people around them may not understand them, so no one has picked these wild medicinal materials.
Now they have become money in Zhuqing's eyes. As she walked, she thought in her mind that when she came back in the evening, she would pick some selectively.
Although she is not particularly proficient in the preparation of Chinese medicinal materials, when she was working in the hospital, she had a good relationship with the old aunt who worked in the hospital pharmacy and learned many essentials of medicinal materials from her. So Zhuqing is confident that she can still do it.
Processing some simple medicinal materials.
At that time, this can bring some income to the family first.
Zhu Qing was planning in her head and walked without stopping for nearly an hour, and finally arrived at Doctor Qian's house.
When she came back last night, Dr. Qian was very kind to her. After carefully asking her about the method of treating Mrs. Zhou, he negotiated with her about her coming to his house to help. As for the people who start and finish work every day,
Doctor Qian did not set strict limits on time.
In fact, when he agreed to help Zhuqing, it was just to show disgrace to the Zhou family.
Now Zhu Qing has another level of relationship with the Zhou family. He helps Zhu Qing, which is actually a disguised show of goodwill to the Zhou family.
So if Zhuqing hadn't insisted on going to work at his house to pay for the medical treatment, he would have done everything he could to help Zhuqing.
Zhu Qing gently knocked on the red door. This time, the fat man who came out of the door was not the fat man who behaved evilly yesterday, and no dog barking was heard.
"You are..." A tall, thin woman opened the door for her. When she saw Zhu Qing, she looked surprised.
"My surname is Sun, and I'm here to help. I made an agreement with Doctor Qian yesterday." Zhu Qing introduced himself to her calmly.
"Oh, Miss Sun! Our boss told us when he left. Come in!" A look of surprise appeared on the tall woman's face.
"My surname is Gao. From now on, you will call me Sister-in-law Gao. I am responsible for the chores at home. You are still young, so tell me what you can do first, so that I can assign work to you." It is different from the fat man who was difficult to talk to yesterday.
, Gao’s sister-in-law seems to be much easier to talk to.
Zhuqing thought for a while and then said: "I can do laundry, cooking, making fire, and chopping firewood..."
"I have a cook at home for cooking, and someone for washing clothes. I don't think you have ever seen those silk and satin clothes. It's not practical for you to wash them. Don't damage them. As for chopping firewood, you don't have much energy as a girl. You can chop wood."
The number is limited. Forget it, I think you should go to the backyard pharmacy and help light the fire and look after the stove!" When Gao Sao opened her mouth, although her words were a bit sincere and she made it clear that she looked down on Zhu Qing, she still chose to do so.
Right in the middle of Zhuqing's arms.
Someone really wanted to give her a pillow if she wanted to fall asleep! She came to Dr. Qian’s house because she wanted to find an excuse to cover up her medical skills!
Now that she went to the pharmacy, didn't she have an excuse to learn about medicinal materials?
"Thank you, Mrs. Gao!" Zhu Qing looked grateful to her.
Sister-in-law Gao smiled at her and said, "Then it's settled!"
Then she waved to a boy chopping firewood in the yard: "Tiedan, take her to the backyard pharmacy and tell her to light the fire!"
The boy named Tiedan put down the ax in his hand and walked over to her expressionlessly: "Follow me!"
Zhuqing then followed him and walked along the corridor beside the yard to the backyard.
As Zhuqing walked, he observed the situation of Doctor Qian's house. He found that although his house was not as wealthy as the Zhou family, it was still decent. After walking through the third courtyard, he arrived at a surprisingly large backyard.
"You're new here, right? Why are you willing to light the fire? It's not a good job in such a hot day!" Tiedan led her until they reached a place where no one was around, and then suddenly spoke.
Zhuqing was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the child was talking to him.
It's midsummer now, and lighting a fire is really not a good job.
It's just that she has decided to come to Qian's house to help, but it's not up to her to decide what to do. And she feels that being able to enter the pharmacy will be a good thing for her.
But this kid clearly had good intentions, and Zhu Qing didn't want to let him down.
So she explained softly: "Well, my sister-in-law said I can only help light the fire. She doesn't trust me to do the rest. Besides, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well."
Tiedan looked angrily: "This woman knows how to bully people! If she doesn't light the fire, can't she still let you clean the yard and water the garden? Really, she is clearly bullying you as a newcomer."
Seeing his indignant look, Zhu Qing didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she had to talk to him.
"Medicine garden? What medicine garden? What's in it? Is it fun?" Zhu Qing deliberately looked confused and curious.
"Doctor Qian planted some medicines himself, and the medicine garden is where he grows the medicines!" Tiedan explained to her, taking her walking in the backyard.
As they walked, Tiedan pointed out the situation in the yard to her. As a result, Zhuqing had a deeper understanding of Doctor Qian.
"You mean, the medicinal materials grown in Doctor Qian's own medicine garden are also sold in the medicine shop?" If medicinal materials can be grown, Zhuqing feels that he has a new way to get rich.
"Yes, Doctor Qian's family has opened the largest medicinal shop in the town! When these medicines grow, shouldn't they be sold in his own medicinal shop?" Tiedan replied.
