In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
Zhou's mother was puzzled, "Why should I go back?"
"My second sister is pregnant with twins. Is it okay if you don't go back to take care of her?"
Mother Zhou smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll go back tomorrow morning."
What was originally a joyful thing was diluted a lot by this incident.
Doctor Cao remained silent after drinking the tea. When the police asked him about the patient's injuries, he only said that they were knife scratches.
Dad dragged his eldest uncle away, and Zhou wanted to ask his mother to buy some medicinal wine and come back to rub his third brother's back.
Mother Zhou then remembered her youngest son, "Is your third brother okay?"
"It's okay, just a lot of bruises on my back. Doctor Cao checked it out."
"Oh! I'll go buy some medicinal wine right now."
Zhou wanted to put the blind lady down and said, "You should rest for a while! We will take good care of Brother Chao."
Zhao Hedi lay down with all her strength, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
"What are you talking about? You all belong to me. If anything goes wrong, I will take responsibility."
Zhao Hedi's eyes reddened slightly as she smiled and said, "Yes, you have to be responsible for everything we do."
Zhou Xiang nodded seriously, "That's right, go to sleep! I'm going out."
"good!"
Zhou Xiang closed the door gently and told Brother Chao to rest assured before returning to the main room and sitting down in front of Doctor Cao.
"How is it? Is this tea delicious?"
Doctor Cao picked up the teacup and took another sip before saying, "You used this to nourish that person, right?"
Zhou Xiang gave him a thumbs up, "Yes, without this, I wouldn't dare to do anything rash. I would definitely send him to the hospital for nutritional injections."
"What's this?"
Zhou Xiang smiled mysteriously, "Good stuff!"
Doctor Cao stopped asking. "Secret recipe! Secret recipe! It must be kept secret!"
"Can you write me a recipe based on this? Something very close to this kind of health recipe? I'll give you a small bag of dried fruit in exchange. Dried fruit is that good stuff!"
Doctor Cao thought for a moment and said, "I don't have a successor, and I don't want or have the energy to find one. I can write down all my secret recipes for you, but I want you to provide them to me for a long time."
Zhou Xiang shook his head. "Impossible. What do I need the secret recipe for? Besides, it's hard to get. I only get a small amount every year."
"Keep the secret recipe. You might need it someday. Just like the little secret recipe for bruises and sprains next door you mentioned before, I have it all. I'll just take three bags, okay?"
Zhou thought about it and kept the secret recipe, thinking it might be useful someday. "Okay! You have to write down everything you know, even the ones about women's beauty and skincare. Only then can you make money from this."
"Money-grubber! Okay! I'll write it all down for you."
The two reached an agreement, and Zhou Xiangcai explained to him the grievances between the blind aunt and the uncle, as well as Brother Chao's experience.
Doctor Cao sighed, "Greed, anger, ignorance, resentment, and hatred all come together in your great uncle. How could he not be crazy?"
Zhou Xiang snorted coldly, "Humph! Don't you even consider whether he deserves it? Don't you even consider whether he has the fate? His ambition is as high as the sky!"
Doctor Cao nodded at her and said, "You are too extreme."
"Genetics!"
"Hey! You girl, is it down to genetics?"
"Yes, all my shortcomings are inherited."
Zhou's mother had just come into the house with some medicinal wine. Upon hearing this, she slapped him, "You're still right? Instead of correcting your shortcomings, you're blaming it on genetics?"
Before Zhou Xiang could dodge, he received a hard slap on the shoulder. "Doctor Cao, look, am I right? My violence is inherited from my mother's family."
Zhou's mother wanted to hit him, but Zhou Xiang had already jumped away.
Doctor Cao laughed out loud. Zhou thought, sometimes serious, sometimes naughty, sometimes mature, sometimes childish. You never know what she will look like the next moment!
He came to the rescue of the mother and daughter, saying, "Alright, go rub the medicated wine on Zhou Hua! Rub it vigorously on your palms to warm it up, then rub it on his back."
"Good! I forgot about being mad at this girl."
Seeing his mother enter the west room, Zhou Xiang came back from behind Doctor Cao and sat down. "Sleep here tonight. I'll make you some millet porridge and steamed egg custard. I guarantee you won't regret it. Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to see the patient who needs treatment for his leg."
Doctor Cao nodded. He was old and felt tired at the slightest thing. If it weren't for the tea, he would have gone to bed.
"Okay! But first, I want to take a bag of dried fruit."
Zhou Xiang extended his hand and said, "Pay with one hand and receive the goods with the other. Write down the health recipe first, and I will give you a bag immediately."
"Okay! Get some paper and pen."
"Fountain pen? Writing brush?"
"Anything works!"
"Then the pen." The brush is in the west room, so she won't go in now!
He took out his pen and notebook and handed them to Dr. Cao, "Write!"
Doctor Cao picked up his pen and wrote out a prescription in a few strokes.
Zhou Xiang took a look and found that they were indeed for health care. He entered the east room and found that the blind lady had fallen asleep. The prescription was put into the space, and a small bag of dried fruits appeared in his hand.
Doctor Cao looked at the sealed plastic bag in front of him, which was about the size of a sugar packet, and then looked at Zhou Xiang. "Is this a bag?"
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yes! A bag."
Doctor Cao finally understood why Zhou's mother wanted to slap her. "No, I thought you were talking about the cloth bag."
"A cloth bag is like a vegetable basket. You can put anything in it. How dirty! For food, you have to use this bag. It's hygienic and safe!"
"No, this bag must be doubled!"
"Okay, okay! Don't be angry, don't be angry, double the anger! Take good care of your health, the people of our town all hope that you live a long life!"
Doctor Cao was both angry and amused. "Then the people of your town must be supplied with dried fruits."
"You know this is a good thing, but you have to remember not to give it to others casually. If I don't give you so much, you can only stare at me helplessly."
"Of course. I finally got this good thing from you, so I must savor it slowly."
Doctor Cao certainly understood what Zhou Xiang meant. Everyone wants good things, but he couldn't cause trouble for her.
Zhou Quan chartered a car, sent Zhou Yiwen back to Zhoujia Village, and told him all his evil deeds.
"Uncle, don't tell me Xiangxiang is angry, I'm angry too! Not only did he go to school to look for Xiangxiang, he also went door to door to ask where Zhou Xiangxiang lives. What did he want to do? To help Xiangxiang become famous? Does Xiangxiang need this kind of fame?
Think about it, she has her own ideas and plans. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being fat. Doesn't he understand? Has he thought about us?
He lives in his own world, and everyone has to revolve around him.
Xiang Xiang said, this is the last time. If anyone goes to the county to embarrass her again, she will cut off all contact with this side. "
The two old men were furious. These people were too disappointing. The eldest grandfather said, "Second brother, go call someone and take him back to his own yard. Send someone to watch him 24 hours a day. Don't let him leave the yard. Eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the yard. He is a walking corpse, nothing!"
"Alright! Take turns watching him. If he dares to run away, tie him up. Not only will it be useless, it will only cause more trouble!"
Second Grandpa stood up and went to look for someone.
