After that, the two parties had another detailed discussion. Nan Shuwen asked Bai Shengming to come early in the morning to study and go back in the afternoon. If he wanted to have lunch, he had to bring his own.
"My family situation is limited and I cannot take care of the food." Nan Shuwen said generously.
"Brother Erlang, I, bring food every day, including a meal for my husband and your family." Bai Banxia said, since he has to bring food, there is no reason for Brother Erlang to eat it himself.
Nan Shuwen felt a little embarrassed this time, "Don't bother me."
"Yes." Bai Banxia said, "Also, how about giving Mr. three taels of silver every month?"
Nan Shuwen glanced at her quickly. People in the country gave her three taels a month, which was already very generous.
But buying books, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones for future generations is a big expense, and the family may be very difficult.
"You don't need that much, just two taels," he said.
Bai Banxia admired this gentleman even more in his heart. He was smart and adaptable but also willing to consider others.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Nan." She solemnly saluted Nan Shuwen. She didn't know how to be polite, so it would be more practical to help Mrs. Nan see a doctor and send some medicine.
Bai Shengming also saluted Mr. Nan, served him tea, and officially became his master. He also agreed to come to study early tomorrow morning, rain or shine.
The matter was settled, and Bai Banxia was greatly relieved. Because it was a last-minute idea, she was really afraid that she would not be able to help Erlang find a good master, which would lead to Erlang's progress being too slow and affecting his self-confidence.
Although it hasn't started yet, she feels that half of it has been accomplished. As for the other half, it depends on Brother Erlang's own efforts.
"I heard that your wife is sick in bed, why don't you let me diagnose and treat her?" Bai Banxia asked.
Doctor Xu hurriedly said: "Yes, since Banxia is here, let's show it to Mrs. Nan. Mr. Nan, don't think that our Banxia is young, but her medical skills are better than mine. Her master is a hidden miracle doctor."
, maybe your wife’s health can improve.”
Mr. Nan was a little surprised. He had been in contact with Dr. Xu for several years. Dr. Xu always spoke strictly and rarely praised others.
Previously, there was a family in Nanling Village who wanted to send their child to study medicine with Dr. Xu, but Dr. Xu refused because he thought he was not qualified enough. People in the village said that Dr. Xu was too visionary, so how come the attitude of this girl from the Bai family was completely different?
"Then I'll trouble Miss Bai." Nan Shuwen saluted respectfully.
He no longer had high hopes for his wife's condition. She was in serious physical condition and suffered from heart problems.
Originally, my wife was not in good health. After giving birth to her eldest son, she took four years to raise her before she became pregnant again with her daughter. Unexpectedly, the childbirth also caused the root cause of the disease. After three years of raising her, she got slightly better. I didn’t want that to happen to my daughter again...
Nan Shuwen recovered his thoughts and saw that Bai Banxia had entered the room, whispered a few words to her wife, and began to feel her pulse.
While taking her pulse, Bai Banxia asked the miracle doctor system to conduct a full-body examination. As expected, Mrs. Nan's physical condition was extremely poor. On the one hand, she suffered from confinement disease, and on the other hand, she seemed to have poor diet and sleep, and was severely malnourished.
"Ma'am, are you not sleeping well? Are you not eating well either?" she asked softly.
Mrs. Nan's eyebrows knitted together, "I'm not in good spirits, but I can't sleep well at night, and I don't have the appetite to eat."
"Madam's confinement disease can be cured slowly, but the stagnation in the heart, eating and sleeping poorly will only make her body worse and worse. Heart diseases still need heart medicine." Bai Banxia's next words are for
Mr. Nan who was standing at the door listened.
Mr. Nan's brows were furrowed and Mrs. Nan lowered her eyes, but they didn't mean to say more. Bai Banxia couldn't say more.
When you meet for the first time, you can't expect others to tell you everything. Besides, she is most afraid of medical treatment, which is not her area of expertise.
"When I go back and prepare the medicine, let me, Brother Erlang, bring it with me tomorrow," Bai Banxia said.
"Thank you so much, Miss Bai." Mrs. Nan stood up and thanked her. Bai Banxia helped her lie down before saying goodbye and leaving.
On the way back, Bai Banxia asked Dr. Xu about the situation of the Nan family. Dr. Xu shook his head and said: "I heard that Mrs. Nan gave birth to a daughter a few years ago. It was a good idea to have both children, but the daughter disappeared for some reason.
, I guess it’s something I’m worried about.”
Dr. Xu sighed, "Children in the countryside have a low life, and they often die young, which is a helpless thing. The weather has been good these few years, but if there is a disaster, it will be difficult for adults to survive, let alone children."
He didn't go into details, but Bai Banxia guessed that he was going to talk about "exchanging children and eating them" in the great disaster decades ago. No one wanted to talk about this kind of unethical thing, and the old man of the Bai family just mentioned it.
Say that.
If it were the elder brother of the Bai family, Erlang and the others would definitely be surprised and even disbelieving when they heard this, but Bai Banxia was not surprised.
As a modern soul, she has read a lot of ancient documents and also seen things like "changing children and eating them". She can only say that in the face of natural disasters, human beings are incomparably insignificant and must have awe of nature.
Heart.
After returning to the village, Dr. Xu said goodbye and said he wanted to go home first. Bai Banxia wanted to invite him to his home for dinner. He was running around helping, so why should he treat him to a meal?
Doctor Xu said with a smile: "Let's talk in a few days. Today is my grandson's birthday. I will go back and have dinner with him."
"That's really embarrassing." Bai Banxia was very ashamed. She would have known better not to bring Dr. Xu with her. She would have just asked Dr. Xu to tell her the address.
Doctor Xu waved his hand, "Let's not talk about these lies, I will go back first."
Looking at Dr. Xu's back, Bai Banxia thought about sending some food to the Xu family later. She remembered that Dr. Xu's tough little grandson liked to eat her pancakes and fruits, and she had to find Dr. Xu to give Mrs. Nan
Grab some medicine.
The three of them returned home and told their family about their apprenticeship. When they heard that their husband would be given two taels of silver every month, Mrs. Li's brows knitted together.
Two taels of silver was not a small amount. She quickly glanced at Zhang Lingzhi, a little worried that her three younger siblings would be unhappy.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingzhi had a happy face and said happily: "It is a fate arranged by God. Erlang found a good husband so quickly. This is a good sign. I will definitely do it when I watch Erlang study!"
Li's eyes were sore. She never said it before, but in her heart she disliked the third child's family. But as the eldest sister-in-law, she couldn't say anything.
The third brother and sister are carefree and good at eating. In the past, she would be a little unhappy when she saw her third brother and sister eating an extra nest. She felt that it was all dug out by her husband and son in the fields.
She was not happy because they had just one extra nest, but how much money would her son cost them in the future? Her expression didn't change at all.
She felt that Zhang Lingzhi was careless and brainless, but now she realized that he was truly open-minded and open-minded. Who else could do this?
Mrs. Li was so ashamed that she really wanted to slap herself in the face. She used to show shame to the third family and her family. She really had no face to face them!
As she was thinking about it, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and she simply covered her face and ran to the backyard.
The old man in the room was asking about Bai Shengming's situation. Bai Tian also happily said words of encouragement to him, but was stunned by Li's crying.
"Sister-in-law, what's going on?" Zhang Lingzhi was a little worried and muttered in a low voice.
Bai Tian tugged at the corner of her clothes to signal her to stop talking nonsense.
"My mother must be so happy." Bai Shengming said with red eyes.
Bai Banxia thought for a while and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll go see my aunt."
