Chapter 170 The first dose of medicine
Wan Haisheng was stunned, then waved his hands repeatedly and defended: "I didn't mean that. Ajing, if you have your own career outside, how could I blame you? Your parents didn't blame you, and the people in our village didn't blame you. What I want to say is not this, but..., but..."
"But what? If you don't say I'll leave!" Du Jingyi stomped her feet in anger. She was still hungry. You actually swallowed it back when you said something, why did you look like a shy little girl? When she thought of being shy, she suddenly had a bad premonition. Could it be that..., Wan Haisheng..., isn't she trying to confess to herself?
Her premonition was really effective, but Wan Haisheng thought that the opportunity would not be missed and that he would never come again. Although the time was not good and his mother was seriously ill, Chen Weiche gave him stimulation and pressure. And next time Ajing came back, he didn't know when. He didn't want to endure this torture anymore. He planned to ask clearly, and finally plucked up the courage and said, "Ajing, I, I, I actually..., I like you very much..."
"What did you say? I didn't hear it!" Du Jingyi frowned slightly. The other party's voice was too small, like a mosquito. You are still a strong boy. How could you compare to my brother Wei Che, and your voice is loud!
"Ah!...I mean...I mean...I mean...I mean...Is that boy your boyfriend just now?" Wan Haisheng dared to say it again. He stuttered for a few moments, and had an idea and asked another question. This question was also something he was very concerned about, which was equivalent to indirect attacks.
Du Jingyi laughed and said, "I thought you were asking something! It turned out to be this! But when did you become so gossipy? Hehe, I won't tell you! Okay, I'm going to cook, and I'm starving to death!"
This is a girl’s private matter, how can you tell me, a big man? Du Jingyi turned her head and left, leaving Wan Haisheng alone and stayed foolishly, murmured: “Don’t tell me? That’s the default?”
A trace of misery suddenly arose in his heart, and then he became disgusted and walked out in dismay. When he reached the door of the yard, such a large broom was blown down by the wind and crossed the ground. He didn't see it. He was tripped, staggered, and almost fell down.
……………………
At the same time, Chen Weiche started to make a fire in the kitchen. He finally knew why Du Jingyi's father called the kitchen "Burning House" because it was a fire-burning house. There was no gas, no natural gas, and even no honeycomb coal. There was only a bit of soil. He had only seen it in TV series that reflected rural life before, and threw firewood into the sauna to burn.
However, this kind of slut is different from outdoor barbecue. It has a certain difficulty. Chen Weiche has never used it before. He tried to light a fire, but it couldn't burn it. Thinking of the oxygen that could help burn, he came over and blew it in a sudden breath. As a result, thick smoke rolled out, causing him to choke and tears flow out, and he coughed non-stop.
Just at this moment, Du Jingyi came over and saw his embarrassing look. She couldn't help but say "Pu" and covered her mouth and chuckled, and walked over and said, "The eldest young master is the eldest young master. Let me, the little maid, serve you!"
Chen Weiche coughed, stepped back, and said while coughing, "I choked to death! I just don't have any experience. When I use it, this will not happen! I should have blown it gently just now."
This guy was just trying to save face. Du Jingyi smiled and drove him away. She squatted in Chen Weiche's position just now, then picked up the tongs and fiddled in. She didn't see how she blew hard. She just plucked it gently, then slapped it in with her hand, and then she "don't" it, and the bright flames burned.
"You are still great!" Chen Weiche praised with a thumbs up, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Of course, I have been diligent since I was a child and do a lot of housework!" Du Jingyi looked at him and couldn't help laughing. Chen Weiche was inexplicably surprised. Du Jingyi pointed to his forehead. Chen Weiche touched again and looked at his hands, then she realized that there was black and gray on his hands. She just wiped her forehead and now she has turned into a flower-faced cat.
Du Jingyi put rice into the pot, feeling that Chen Weiche had added less water, so she added some water, and told Chen Weiche to watch the fire. Then she ran to the well to make a bucket of water for Chen Weiche, took another washbasin, and asked Chen Weiche to wash her face first. They brought all the towels and toothbrushes and used them on the train.
The well water was very clear and cool. Chen Weiche asked if he could drink it. Du Jingyi nodded and said, "The well in my house is connected to the mountain springs in the mountains, which is equivalent to an artificial spring."
Chen Weiche scooped up a spoonful, gulped and drank it, and it was indeed very sweet. Du Jingyi also took a few sips, then Chen Weiche washed her face, and Du Jingyi went to cook porridge.
After cooking the porridge, I put it in an enamel basin, and immediately fried a side dish, and a plate of pickled radish, which was crispy. The two of them didn't eat it in the kitchen because it was too stuffy, so they moved the table to the yard. It was dark now, but the moonlight was very good, and the breeze was blowing on the face. In addition to some mosquitoes, it was quite romantic.
However, since Du Jingyi laughed in the kitchen, she has been expressionless when eating and has not spoken much. Chen Weiche knew that she felt uncomfortable and could not really let go. She occasionally forced a smile to cheer herself up and make herself optimistic and strong. She immediately comforted her and said, "Jingyi, I just thought about a prescription and I will give it to your mother to try it in the evening. Maybe it will work!"
"Oh? Is it true?" Du Jingyi immediately put down her chopsticks happily, then looked at the sky and said, "It's a pity that it's late tonight. Where can we get medicine? Others have closed the door long ago when we get to the town."
Chen Weiche said: "It's okay, I brought some medicinal herbs, and my prescription is just enough."
"Ajing, you're just having dinner?" While eating, a kind voice came from outside the door. Chen Weiche and Du Jingyi turned their heads to see, and saw a gray-haired old lady.
"Grandma Xiao, why are you here?" Du Jingyi quickly stood up and went to support the old man. This man was Du Jingyi's youngest sister-in-law, equivalent to Du Jingyi's grandparents, and he was of a very high generation in the village. However, Du Jingyi's grandparents had long passed away. The husband of this youngest grandparents, Du Jingyi's youngest grandfather, also passed away.
The old man was in his eighties, leaning on a cane and carrying a basket of eggs, trembling when walking. When he saw Du Jingyi, he was very happy. He held her hand, looked left and right, and said as he walked: "I heard that when you came back, I took a few eggs to eat for you! These were all saved by Grandma Yao this month, and they were very fresh. Haha, our Ajing became more and more handsome!"
"Mother-in-law, you are too rewarding!" Du Jingyi was still a little happy when she heard others praise her for her beauty.
Then, the youngest mother-in-law walked in, she looked presbyopic and approached, and saw Chen Weiche's appearance clearly, and said, "I thought it was that boy Haisheng. It turned out that no, this young man is... Oh, Ajing, is it the boyfriend you brought back?"
Although the old lady is old, she also knows that she is fashionable and free love now, and has long been nagging, asking Du Jingyi to find a handsome guy from the city in the future. Now when she sees Chen Weiche, she thinks that this guy is tall and burly and has a good appearance. Her eyes lit up. She is quite satisfied and happy for Du Jingyi!
Du Jingyi was a little shy and said angrily: "Grandma Young~, he is just my colleague, okay, I'll come back with me this time, and I'll show my mother the disease."
Chen Weiche also stood up, greeted the old lady with a smile, and said, "Hello, Grandma Xiao, you can sit here." Then he quickly gave up his chair to the other party.
The youngest mother-in-law was not polite. In her opinion, this was her grandson-in-law who was filial to her. She immediately sat down with a smile and had a better impression of Chen Weiche. She thought to herself that this young man was polite and stood up to give up his seat to the old woman. She immediately pulled Du Jingyi's hand and said with a smile: "You girl, I'll bring you back when you come back. We are all happy for you. Why are you shy! They are all big girls, like the Lanlan in Gejiatai, the neighboring village, who is the same age as you, and they have two children, and the youngest one has gone to kindergarten! She used to be a primary school classmate with you? She came here two days ago and asked you how you are doing and whether you have found a boyfriend, haha."
"Grandma Young~" Du Jingyi was too embarrassed to defend herself and was too lazy to defend herself. Chen Weiche smiled and couldn't explain, otherwise she would be embarrassed. She immediately smiled and talked to her side.
Grandma Xiao was very concerned about Chen Weiche and started to inquire. She just asked questions such as "Young man, how old are you this year?" "Where is the family?" "How did you know us Ajing?" When asked by the elders, Chen Weiche naturally didn't answer. She immediately asked what she asked and answered. However, when it came to her own life experience, she said randomly, saying that it was an ordinary family in the city. If she told her real family background, it would be bad if she scared others.
While talking, after a while, many neighbors and Du Jingyi's immediate family members rushed over after hearing the news, and they were all carrying things, such as eggs, vegetables, corn, sweet potatoes, etc. Someone also caught an old hen from his home. The third aunt I had seen before was also among them, and brought a live fish, saying that Ajing's uncle caught it in the afternoon, so she specially asked her to send it.
These things are naturally for Du Jingyi to eat. Because her mother was sick, the land at her home was also deserted and many things were not planted.
In the past, these close neighbors often helped Du Jingyi's family. Now that she has returned, everyone has made this excuse and sent things over again. Because after giving them too many times, Du Jingyi's father Du Zhongkun could not hide his face. But now, Du Jingyi has come back and has brought things to Du Jingyi for food, so Du Zhongkun is not easy to refuse.
Du Jingyi was quite moved and cried loudly.
"Girl, don't cry. Even if your mother is gone, there will be aunts, second mothers, third mothers, fourth aunts, fifth aunts, sixth aunts..."
"That's right, Ajing, my aunt, the difficulties are only temporary. Maybe your condition will improve if you are lucky, and your condition will improve?"
"Well, I hope that's the case!" Du Jingyi still had confidence in Chen Weiche.
Then, everyone asked Chen Weiche again. After all, Du Jingyi suddenly brought a handsome guy back, and everyone couldn't think of it or not.
Before Du Jingyi could introduce her, the youngest mother-in-law was the first to shout: "This young man is A Jing's boyfriend, a handsome talent. I think he is a match with us A Jing, a pair of people made of heaven and earth. According to my old man's opinion, it is better to let them get married as soon as possible and also give her mother a happy life!"
Journey to the countryside is a superstitious custom that has been passed down for thousands of years. When someone in the family is critically ill, he or she attempts to get rid of the disease by doing weddings in order to make the crisis safe: he or she (or his or her son, brother, and daughter) should be married and the disease will be cured.
"Grandma Young~ What era is this? It's still a joyful thing. It's not scientific at all! Besides, he is not my boyfriend, but my colleague, okay!" Du Jingyi defended her, but her face turned red and her eyes flashed with shyness and joy. I wonder, does that girl don't like others to say that her sweetheart is her husband or boyfriend? She also asks them to get married soon!
Grandma Yao waved her hand and said, "No matter whether it is scientific or not, I don't understand science. I only know that this is a custom passed down from old people, and sometimes it really works! I will listen to my old man's affairs, and I will tell your father back."
The people around him also started to cheer and said, "Ajing, why are you afraid of being ashamed? You have brought everyone back!"
"That's right, it's already a big girl, and you can start a family and start a career!"
"And this young man is really good. He came all the way to visit Du Jingyi's mother."
"Indeed, he is handsome and polite, and he is also a doctor in a big hospital!"
"Doctors are good, with high salary and high social status, and promising!"
"A Jing is handsome and a nurse in a big hospital. How can anyone in this village be worthy of her? This young man is different. He is from the same unit as A Jing. It will be convenient for him to take care of each other in the future!"
"Oh, Ajing finally found a good husband. We are happy for you too!"
"Haha, hurry up and prepare for the wedding bar!"
...
Du Jingyi was so embarrassed that she smiled and said, "I haven't even made a single sign of her eight characters yet, and I'm not ready either."
Grandma Yao said, "Yes, they just came back and hadn't eaten yet. We are here and they can't eat well. Everyone should let the couple drink porridge together and cultivate their feelings. We won't disturb them!"
"Yeah, don't disturb these two little bitches of the world! Ajing, go to Aunt San's house to play tomorrow!"
"Ajing, remember that I left a lot of fruits for you by my second mother's house. I couldn't take them today, but I didn't bring them here. I'll give them to you tomorrow!" The fruits were all grown by their own family, picked and eaten now, very fresh and pollution-free. Since they were eaten at home, they basically didn't use pesticides and could not be bought in the city.
"Yeah, OK, go whenever you have time!" Du Jingyi waved her hand with a smile, finally sent away these elders, and then continued to drink porridge with Chen Weiche.
However, she was a little afraid to look at Chen Weiche, lowered her head and drank the porridge, and said quietly: "Brother, don't mind, this is how people in the countryside are. They have no malicious intentions!"
"I know." Chen Weiche smiled.
"Why are you laughing at?" Du Jingyi gave him a blank look and said angrily.
"Nothing, nothing, drink porridge!"
……………………
After the two of them finished drinking the porridge, Chen Weiche went to the kitchen to prepare medicine and boil medicine. Du Jingyi and her family had a clay pot that could be used to boil Chinese medicine. This jar was originally used to simmer soup, but now he can't care about so much, so Du Jingyi asked him to use this jar.
Then, Du Jingyi went to clean the room. She didn't need to clean her own room. She was always very tidy. No one came in to live in it. She just cleaned it a little and then put on a clean sheet and quilt cover. As for Chen Weiche, she had to complain that he had to sleep in the woodshed room. However, Du Jingyi was skillful and even the woodshed room became very warm after careful arrangement. Du Jingyi also prepared a white mosquito net for him. There were many mosquitoes in the mountains, so it would not work without a mosquito net.
Chen Weiche carefully prepared medicine in the kitchen. It was a formula studied by a senior doctor. It was 6 grams of Bupleurum, 6 grams of Magnolia officinalis, 6 grams of Tangerine peel, 10 grams of Angelica sinensis, 15 grams of Poria cocos, 10 grams of fried white peony, 10 grams of rose, 10 grams of Atractylodes macrocephala, 10 grams of Atractylodes macrocephala, 10 grams of Dried Rehmannia glutinosa, 12 grams of Mint, 12 grams of Astragalus, 12 grams of Codonopsis pilosula, 12 grams of Ophiopogon japonicus, 10 grams of jujube kernel, 6 grams of Yuanzhi, 6 grams of roasted licorice, 6 grams of Guangmuxiang, and 6 grams of Schisandra chinensis.
Chen Weiche prepared the medicinal materials and soaked them in cold water for half an hour before starting to boil them in a clay pot. He fryed them over high heat, then simmered them over low heat. After about half an hour, he took out another medium-grade Yuanqi Pill, picked up the rice grains a little larger, threw them in, stirred them for a while, continued to steam them on low heat for ten minutes, and then turned off the heat.
It’s not that Chen Weiche is reluctant to let go of the Yuanqi Pill, but that Du Jingyi’s mother is extremely weak, and if she releases too much, she will be weak and not be replenished, which will be harmful to the body.
When Chen Weiche came in and said that the Chinese medicine had been boiled, Du Jingyi and her whole family were present, very nervous, especially Du Jingyi. She had the highest hope for Chen Weiche, so she was naturally nervous.
"It's okay, try it first. If the effect is not good, I will study other prescriptions. At least, I can prevent my aunt from being in danger of life in a short period of time!" Chen Weiche said. With his medical methods, even if it cannot be cured, it is easier to extend your life by one or two months.
However, before Du Jingyi's mother woke up, Chen Weiche did not pour the medicine, so as not to pour it out and become cold. After waiting for about half an hour, Du Jingyi's mother moaned and opened her eyes. Even though there were three sleeping pills, she couldn't let her rest for eight hours. After only more than five hours, she woke up again. What is a disease? This is a disease, which can kill people!
Du Jingyi's mother wanted to urinate. This time, Du Jingyi personally served her mother to untie her pants and held a spittoon to pick it up. The old man was terminally ill and naturally lost the ability to take care of himself. This kind of thing was inevitably dirty and smelly, but Du Jingyi didn't frown, and she was just heartache.
Chapter completed!
