Chapter 46 Li's Eye
After taking the two pairs of medicine, Ye's body improved slightly, and his mental head also grew. His lips and cheeks were more bloody than before. After a while, he could get up and sit against the quilt for a while.
Xu Laosan and Xing'er did not mention the illness, let alone how much it would cost to catch the medicine. Otherwise, according to Ye's nature, they would be scared to death if they had nothing to do.
Before, Xu Laosi only caught three pairs of medicine and came back, so he took two pairs of medicine. Xu Laosan asked the doctor to diagnose his pulse again. After slightly adjusting the prescription, he had to go to the city to catch the medicine again.
Xu Xinger is worried about Ye's body, but she doesn't want to give up the opportunity to go to the city to see things. After all, she has been here for so long and has been spinning in the mountain nest. She doesn't know what it looks like outside. She is over the way to do anything.
She couldn't sleep over and over the night before. She didn't know whether she should make this request or not. She couldn't lift her spirits after getting up in the morning. She either dropped her spoon or dropped her chopsticks when cooking breakfast.
Ye saw her mind and said, "If you want to go to the city with your father, I can support the family."
When Xu Xinger saw that she was broken, she no longer continued to struggle. This time, Ye's illness made her feel more and more that it was impossible not to have money in her hand, so it became a top priority to go to the city as soon as possible, but in any case, she could not leave Ye herself at home.
She accelerated her time to make breakfast. She didn't have time to eat. She untied her apron and went straight to the old house, intending to ask Xu Lingzi to accompany Ye and take care of the children by the way.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard the noise inside. Lao Xu's voice was the loudest, so that the floating soil on the beam fell straight down.
"Isn't she willing to go back to her mother's house and let her live there and want me to pick her up? What's your dream?"
"Dad, mother is a face-loving person. After so many years, don't you know what kind of person your mother is?" Xu Lingzi persuaded, "What can you do if you lay a step for her down? Otherwise, how can she raise her head in front of her mother, uncle and aunt?"
"She wants face, and I want face too!" Old Xu snorted angrily, and his voice was getting louder and louder, "Besides, I didn't drive her away. Why should I pick her up?" I tell you, whoever likes to go, don't mention it in front of me again!"
Old Xu said that he didn't eat breakfast and threw his hand directly into the room.
Xu Lingzi had no choice but to turn her head and say to Xu Laoer, "Second brother, since my mother is asking someone to bring you a letter back, you can go to your uncle's house and pick her up."
Xu Laoer came here for breakfast, but he didn't expect that he was meeting a person from Batang Village to deliver a message and said that he would give it to him. He can't read a few big words, and he can't read a few letters, so he can only find Xu Laosi to read them.
At this time, after listening to Xu Lingzi's words, I scratched my ears and cheeks for a long time before finally saying the whole sentence, "Because of my gambling, my father is already generous. If I go to pick up my mother again, my father will not be able to slap me..."
"Second brother, you can't be so conscienceless!" Xu Lingzi heard the words and said angrily, "My mother quarreled with my father to pay off your gambling debts. Now I also ask you to pick it up. What are you talking about? Fortunately, my mother still loves you so much."
"Little sister, you also know Dad's temper. If he doesn't go, he will definitely not go. If you are not afraid of Dad beating you, then you can pick him up. Why do you push him on me?" Xu Laoer said shamelessly.
"My sister-in-law has something to do today, so she can't leave." Xu Xinger listened outside for a long time, and then stepped into the house.
"She is idle at home every day. What can she do?" Xu Laoer curled his lips and said disdainfully.
"My father and I went to the city to get medicine for my mother. There is no one at home to take care of me, and I have to trouble my sister-in-law again." Xu Xinger also ignored Xu's second brother and said directly to Xu Lingzi.
"They are all a family. If you say it's not troublesome, the older your child is, the more outland you are." Hearing this, Xu Lingzi put down the rag in her hand, washed her hands and said, "I'll go with you."
Xu Laoer was hung aside, rolled his eyes, spat at the ground, went to the table and grabbed a few steamed buns in one hand, and muttered as he walked home, "It's better for you don't eat. I'll take it home."
Li was angry about Xu Laoer's gambling these two days, and he didn't look good to him. He only cooked three meals a day with his children and sent him back to his old house.
She was holding her soles in the room and planned to make the autumn shoes in advance. Hearing the sound and seeing that Xu Laoer came back, she turned her back to the door and threw them at the back of his head.
Xu Laoer went over with a steamed bun like a treasure, grabbed one in front of Li, and said with a smile, "Yingzi, have you had breakfast yet? I'll heat you up if you don't eat it."
Li turned his head and saw four steamed buns in his hand. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where did it come from?"
"I took it from the old house. Today, my father quarreled with Lingzi. Both of them were so popular that they didn't have breakfast. I'm afraid that you would not be willing to eat well in the morning, so I quickly brought it back to you." Xu Laoer kept flattering him.
"Cut!" Li's mouth was disdainful, but her hand still took the steamed bread, took a bite, and said vaguely, "I have already said that your mother is the best at searching. Look, when she returned to her mother's house, the food at home has got better."
"My mother is not trying to save money. If it hadn't been for my mother's usual diligence and thrift, who would have paid me back for me this time!" Xu Laoer went up, nibbled the steamed bun with Li's hand and said with a hippie smile, "I swear that I will definitely not touch the cards in the future. Just forgive me this time. Anyway, we didn't pay back the money. My mother saved those money, and I don't know who will spend it for in the future."
"That's reasonable." Li didn't move his nest. Instead, he leaned on Xu Laoer and rolled his eyes and said, "Now there are more important things to discuss with you. I don't bother to care about the previous events. Please tighten my skin in the future and don't let me know that you go out to gamble."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't dare." Seeing that Li finally relaxed, Xu Laoer rubbed his hands happily and asked, "What did you want to say just now?"
"What's wrong with Xing'er Niang?" Li rubbed the needle on his hair a few times, inserted it into the soles, pushed more than half of it against the top needle, and then picked up the needle clip to clip the needle out. "Lao San didn't say anything wrong. I thought about what he looked like when he came that day. It didn't look like a small problem. There were many people in her family, and now there was an extra medicine jar, which is even more bottomless hole."
"What do you care so much about?" Xu Laoer didn't understand Li's meaning and said it seriously.
"You son of a year!" Li stretched out his hand and pushed Xu Laoer away. "Now that we haven't separated, the three families don't want us to pay for it."
Xi Laoer thought about it and got up and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it!"
"Did Lao San say that he was going to split up that day?" Li was so angry that day that she didn't pay much attention to the situation around her. Now she frowned and recalled carefully, "I seem to hear it. Have you thought about it?"
"I also remember saying it..." Xu Laoer scratched his head and said.
Li suddenly came to his senses. He threw all the insoles in his hand into the needle, put on his shoes on the lower kang and went out.
"What are you going to do?" Xu Laoer tilted on the kang and shouted,
"I'll go to the third house to have a look." Li wiped his hair, pulled his clothes, and kept running straight to Xu Xinger's house.
"Sister-in-law, are you feeling better?" After entering the house, Li said hypocritically, "I've been angry with your second brother these days and ignored him. I didn't even go out. I didn't even know that you were sick. As soon as I heard about it, I came to see you quickly."
Ye was half leaning against the piled mountain, and his face was still a little pale, but at least he was a little more bloody than the previous two days. After listening to Li's words, he thought she apologized for being frightened and fell ill, and said shyly, "Actually, it's not a big deal. The doctor said that it was insufficient qi and blood. It should be the previous one. What's wrong with giving birth to chestnuts.
Li's eyes swirled around the room. Hearing this, he asked, "What medicine are you taking now? My mother's brother often goes up to collect medicine. If there is anything that can be used, please squeak.
"Second sister-in-law is too polite. In fact, I don't know what kind of medicine I take." Ye was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm not feeling well these days, and I can't work on the ground. Xing's medicine and cooking are all made by Xing'er. The prescription also asked your third brother to take it away to get medicine. However, this medicine really works. After taking two pairs, people feel a lot of energy!"
"As long as it works." Li said perfunctorily, "Remember to pour the boiled medicine residue on the road and let the passers-by step on the sick to take away, and people will be better faster."
"Xing'er said that it was not good, so she threw it at the foot of the back mountain." Ye mentioned his daughter and suddenly smiled, "Although Xing'er's child is short-tempered sometimes, his heart is actually very good."
Li curled his lips slightly disdainfully, but didn't say anything. He circled for a long time, and then asked where the family came from for money to catch medicine and so on.
Xu Lingzi came back from the river with a laundry basin. When she entered the door, she heard Li's voice and frowned slightly, but still said, "Second sister-in-law is coming."
"Well, come and have a look. I'm going back. There's still a lot of work at home!" Li said and got up, "You can take good care of yourself. I'll go first."
Xu Lingzi looked at Li's back and said suspiciously, "What's wrong with the second sister-in-law today? It's like a different person..." Before the words fell, Li Zi burst into tears. She quickly put down the things in her hand and picked up the child to coax her.
Li came out of Xu Xinger's house, went straight to the foot of the mountain, and looked around. Sure enough, he saw some drug residue piled up under a big tree. Looking at the color and dryness, it should be Ye's medicine.
She looked at no one around, pulled a few big leaves, wrapped the medicine residue and took it home.
