Uncle Ming had just returned home from work, and before he reached the door of his house, he heard bursts of laughter coming from the straw hut.
The originally exhausted body was instantly healed.
Is there anything more important than the happiness of your wife and daughter?
Ming Xiaojiang saw his father coming back out of the corner of his eye and quickly stood up to greet him.
"Dad, the water is ready, wash your hands and have dinner. Sister Le Yao will prepare dinner for us today."
"Le Yao is here? Did your mom get our eggs for your sister Le Yao to eat?"
"Oh, Dad, wash your hands quickly and you'll know when you get in."
Outside, Ming Xiaojiang didn't say much. Uncle Ming quickly washed his hands. As soon as he stepped into his house, he smelled the aroma of meat.
"This is..."
"Dad, this is what Sister Le Yao brought back with the dog this morning. Is the dog powerful?"
Ming Xiaoxue also came forward, ready to find an ally for her dog-raising cause.
“Great, great.”
"Then can we raise one at home?"
“….”
He knew that his little daughter would not ask this question for no reason. It turned out that she was waiting for him here.
Ming Leyao saw that Fourth Uncle Ming was a little hesitant. On the one hand, he wanted to satisfy his daughter's request, but on the other hand, he thought that it was difficult for his own family to get food, let alone another dog?
"Xiaoxue, this dog is different from other dogs. I heard from the older generation that the dog you sent me before was the offspring of a wolf. It has some wildness in it, and you may not be able to find the same one even if you look for it. If you really like it, you can come to my house when you have nothing to do and help me look after it and feed it. Just stay with your sister, okay?"
"Really? Sister Leyao, can I go too?"
"Why can't you go? You can go if you want, but you can't go alone. You need someone to accompany you, okay?"
"Yeah, I know."
Seeing that his daughter was coaxed, Uncle Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
Uncle Ming came back, and everyone prepared to eat. Auntie Si wanted to steam eggs for Ming Leyao, but she refused, saying...
There are too many dishes to finish.
During this meal, several people ate until their bellies were full, and finally they all collapsed on the stools, and no one wanted to get up.
"Wow, I haven't felt my stomach full in a long time."
"Yeah..it feels good."
Uncle Ming and Aunt Ming looked at each other and smiled, feeling particularly satisfied.
This warmth did not last long, and was suddenly interrupted by an anxious and panicked old voice.
"Lao He? Lao He, what's wrong with you? Lao Meng, come and take a look."
"Oh no, Lao He is having trouble breathing, hurry...quickly go find someone to help."
"Looking for someone to help...Looking for someone to help...Looking for..."
After a few seconds, messy footsteps were heard in front of Uncle Ming's door, but there was no knock on the door.
Ming Leyao knew that the person at the door had not left, so she guessed he was struggling over whether to knock on the door.
When she tried to get up, there was someone who was faster than her.
He ran to the door, opened it, and asked in a deep voice, "Uncle Li? What happened? Huh?"
"Comrade Mingzhong, you... Lao He... Lao He is dying, you..."
Fourth Uncle Ming was standing at the door, blocking the view of the inside of the house, but Ming Leyao was sitting in a position where she could see through a small gap the skinny old man with sunken cheeks and gray hair at the door. Tears flowed from his cloudy eyes, passing through the grooves on his face and falling on his cheeks.
His helplessness, panic and despair deeply infected Ming Leyao.
At this time, Fourth Uncle Ming turned around and said, "Wife, go to the front and help watch the wind. Xiao Jiang, go to your sister Le Yao's house and bring the dog over. Xiao Xue, quickly boil some water and steam the egg cake."
Aunt Ming nodded palely, stumbled out of the door, and stood not far away, looking a little flustered.
On the contrary, Ming Xiaojiang and Ming Xiaoxue behaved very naturally, and quickly followed their father's instructions.
"Le Yao, can...can you help me take a look? If you don't want to, it's okay, Fourth Uncle is trying to find a way."
"Uncle Four, let's go."
Ming Leyao didn't know how Fourth Uncle Ming got in touch with the old people who were sent down to the cowshed next door, but she also knew that if they were discovered, she and Fourth Uncle Ming would not have a good ending.
In some matters, Ming Leyao could calmly analyze the pros and cons and choose the side that was beneficial to her, but in this matter, she felt that she should follow her heart and take a risk.
The two people walked to the cowshed and were hit by the stench of cow dung. At first, Ming Leyao was a little bit unacceptable, but after smelling it for a while, she just... accepted it.
This cowshed is even more dilapidated than Uncle Ming's. Not only is it leaky everywhere, but the roof is about to collapse.
There was only a double bed inside, three of its four legs were broken, and it was propped up with bricks underneath.
The only complete piece of furniture in the room is probably the washbasin rack.
"Uncle Meng, how is Uncle He?"
"I don't have any medicine on hand, I'm afraid...I'm afraid I can't save him."
"Let me take a look."
Ming Leyao entered the room without saying anything. She walked straight to the bedside, nodded to Mr. Meng, then stretched out her hand and took the old man's pulse in a very standard posture.
When Mr. Meng saw her actions, his eyes widened in shock.
The corners of his mouth trembled, he wanted to say something, but felt that there was nothing to say.
Through his pulse, Ming Leyao knew what was wrong with Mr. He: his heart was stagnated with fire, poor blood flow, and various body dysfunctions caused by malnutrition.
Easy to cure.
He calmly took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, took out a round pill, and fed it directly into Mr. He's mouth.
"This... doesn't require drinking water?"
"Need not."
Mr. Meng looked at his old friend swallowing in bed with some doubt about his life...
Then, the delicate and soft little girl in front of him took out a cloth bag handsomely, opened it with a wave of her big hand, and pulled out several long, shiny needles in a few strokes.
And pierced my old friend with dizziness...
Before he could figure out what was going on, Ming Leyao was already sitting beside him calmly.
"The old man will wake up soon."
"Wake up...wake up?"
"You said...you said Lao He will really wake up?"
"right."
Simple and concise, powerful and sonorous.
Mr. Meng continues to doubt his life..
He devoted his entire life to Chinese medicine, but today his three views were overturned one after another.
Can the medicine be swallowed without water?
It was obvious that Lao He was at the end of his rope, so how could he still wake up?
Of course, he wasn't cursing his old friend, he was just curious...
Very curious...
Inside the house, no one dared to speak, and they waited quietly for Lao He to wake up.
Outside...
It's much more lively than inside the house.
Ming Xiaojiang went to Ming Leyao's house to take the dog. He ran back and forth very quickly in less than ten minutes.
He handed the dog to his mother and lay down on the ground, panting.
"Are you okay, Xiao Jiang?"
Aunt Ming squatted down worriedly and wanted to help her daughter up.
