Chapter 130
Secretary Song went to the kitchen first, and after making sure that he didn't need to help, he went out and found Lao Jia, who was still hoeing the soil in the field, and asked her to follow him back first.
Lao Chu and the others nearby heard this and became a little uneasy: "Secretary, has something happened?"
They are all the same people. If something happens to Lao Jia, they can't escape.
"Don't worry, it's okay." Seeing that there was no one around, Secretary Song whispered, "Someone wants Lao Jia to see a doctor. Since there are few people around now, let Lao Jia check their pulse."
Then he comforted Lao Jia: "Don't worry, it's just an old problem of waist and leg pain. Even if you can't cure their illness, it's not a big deal. They are all acquaintances, and they won't catch them."
After hearing this, Lao Jia relaxed: "Okay, let's go."
She believed that Secretary Song would not harm her, and if she could help someone, he would give her some money in private.
This way, he wouldn't have to be supported by Wu Xiu and Chu Hong all the time.
After returning home, Secretary Song took the three members of the He family to the back and asked Lao Jia to take the pulse of the old couple of the He family.
The old couple in the He family both had chronic illnesses that they contracted when they were young. After Old Jia took their pulses, he had an idea of what was going on. He carefully explained the cause of their illness to them, and then told them how to recuperate.
Seeing that what she said was all right, Grandpa He admired her very much and nodded repeatedly: "Then can you please prescribe a prescription for us?"
Doctor Jia was afraid that they would have too high expectations, so he said something ugly up front: "I can prescribe the prescription, but it will take three months to be effective. Are you sure you want to prescribe it?"
Even Dr. Jia himself admitted that Chinese medicine is not easy to swallow and takes time to boil, so it is indeed not as convenient as Western medicine.
Grandma He nodded: "I need to prescribe Chinese medicine. When should we come for a follow-up visit?"
Lao Jia found the notebook and pencil Wu Xiu had given him and began to write a prescription: "Come back for a follow-up visit in a month."
Seeing that everything was going well here, Secretary Song went back first.
So as to avoid being seen coming in and out here.
On the surface, their family rarely has any contact with people like Lao Chu.
He Zhigang looked around the low house and the simple and dilapidated home inside, and didn't quite believe in this Chinese medicine doctor.
He also believes in Western medicine more. Moreover, traditional Chinese medicine is in a bad situation now and is looked upon as a fraud.
But seeing that his grandparents believed it, he didn't want to expose it, so he thought about going back to tell his parents and asking them to persuade his grandparents.
After Grandpa He and Grandma He received their respective prescriptions, Grandma He took out a handkerchief with money in it from her pocket and put it on the small table: "This is a little gift from us."
Lao Jia did not refuse: "Thank you very much, take care, I won't see you off."
When they returned to the He family, it was already past ten o'clock and the fragrance was even stronger.
Grandma He asked the grandfather and grandson to find a place to stay, and she followed Chu Dan to see Chu Hong.
Chu Hong is reading a book in the room.
Don't get me wrong, she is reading a serious book.
Because today she just remembered that she also had to say a few words at the wedding.
In order to avoid saying something wrong, I can only look at the book sent down from above.
Nowadays, it is no longer popular for people to wear red and green when getting married. They follow the local customs. They also bought green cloth and made two sets of clothes.
To be honest, it’s still a bit cold to wear it now.
Seeing Grandma He come in, Chu Hong also put down her book, stood up and greeted her: "Grandma He, please take a seat."
Seeing how calm and composed she was, Grandma He felt a little impressed. The bride wasn't shy at all on the wedding day, and thinking that she was looking for a son-in-law, she didn't ask too many questions. She just praised her beauty and made some small talk.
Time passed quickly. When the sound of gongs came from afar, Chu Dan stood up nervously: "Sister, Gu Zhiqing should be here soon, right? Are you ready too?"
As agreed before, they would leave work half an hour earlier and come here on their bikes.
Therefore, they used Chu Hong's bicycle, the team's public bicycle, and borrowed bicycles from the Li family and Lingzhong Village. Gu Ci and his friends would all ride over later.
Chu Hong originally thought that she had been able to remain calm, but when she heard these words, she felt her heart beating a little faster.
"I see." Chu Hong stood up and walked out: "Shall we go out first?"
The villagers who came to the banquet also arrived one after another, and Grandpa Song and his two sons asked everyone to take a seat.
He Zhigang and his two grandchildren were also arranged to sit at the same table with the male educated youth from the village.
Soon, four 28-bar bicycles rode in from outside. Someone lit firecrackers. After a crackling sound, Gu Ci, dressed in green clothes, got off the bicycle in high spirits.
He first greeted the Song family politely: "Hello, Grandpa, Grandma."
Grandpa Song and Grandma Song also agreed with a smile and handed him a red paper bag, which was a gift for meeting him and also a fee for changing his words.
Gu Ci took it with both hands, thanked him with a smile, and called Secretary Song again: "Dad, Mom."
"Big sister, little sister."
Finally, he looked at Chu Hong, who was also wearing green work clothes and looked very energetic, and called out with a red face, "Chu Hong."
Chu Hong didn't know what to say and looked at Secretary Song helplessly.
Secretary Song said a lot of words, which were nothing more than saying that Gu Ci would stay in the Song family from now on, and would grow up with Chu Hong and was also a part of Lingxia Village.
The subsequent wedding process is that the newlyweds bow to the statue of the great man and then bow to their elders, and the newlyweds have completed the ceremony.
Compared to previous weddings, it is indeed very simple.
However, the villagers who were watching also cheered and made it seem quite lively.
Next comes the part that everyone is looking forward to the most: taking the seat.
The first things that came up were a plate of melon seeds, a plate of peanuts, a plate of wedding candies, and a plate of red dates.
He Zhi had just picked up two peanuts to eat, and the next moment he saw the educated youth sitting at the same table had quickly grabbed some and put them in their pockets.
Liu Jianhua, the leader of the male educated youth from Lingxia Village, saw the wide-eyed expressions of the three members of the He family and smiled awkwardly: "These dried fruits were originally meant for us to take away. We have to take the plates back to serve the dishes later."
"Oh, I see. It's the same custom." He Zhigang glanced at other tables and found that their plates were empty in an instant.
He was a little worried. When the food was served, would he be able to grab some?
Next came stewed radish with bacon, braised large intestine, stir-fried pork liver, braised mixed fish, braised pork tripe, and stir-fried sweet potato noodles with shredded pork and vegetables.
He Zhigang found that his previous worries were in vain. The portion of each dish was very large. What surprised him even more was that the offal tasted very good.
He took his first bite very carefully, fearing that it would taste strange.
After finishing eating, he quickly picked up another piece with chopsticks.
The educated youths were all very satisfied with the meal and whispered: "We didn't expect the meal to be so good. The money we spent on gifts is well spent."
They haven't eaten meat for a long time.
When they heard that Secretary Song's second daughter was getting married, even though they were heartbroken and worried that Secretary Song would make things difficult for them, they still deducted two yuan, wrapped it in red paper and sent it over.
