Chapter 10: Resolving the Urgent Problem
Sitting in space is also sitting.
Bored to death.
Tianbao looked far away and his gaze fell on the opposite side across the stream.
It was a vast field.
It was the same as she saw the last time she came in, nothing had changed.
Green plants grow all over the fertile black soil. At first, Tianbao thought it was a vegetable garden, but now it doesn’t look like that anymore.
She didn't recognize any of those dishes.
The rolling hills at the innermost part of the vegetable garden were still shrouded in clouds and mist, half-hidden, revealing a sense of danger and mystery.
This place is so big, like a small village.
But there are no houses here, only land and mountains.
Tianbao sighed softly, frowned like a little adult, and looked quite distressed.
What's the point of giving her such a large space? She knows that the pear fruit next to it is edible, but she doesn't know what the other things are for.
If the bad guys knew that she had such a strange and magical thing, she would be studied again.
It's really boring.
Standing up and patting his butt, Tianbao waded across the stream barefoot, stepped on the black soil on the other side, and walked to the vegetable garden to take a closer look.
He watched and shook his head.
The strange-shaped red mushrooms. She knew that colored mushrooms were poisonous and could not be eaten.
The vine with purple flowers was a weed. In any case, none of the edible vegetables she had seen looked like this.
White lotus? Not edible.
Little red fruit? It looks pretty, let it continue to grow.
…
After strolling around, Tianbao didn't find any edible vegetables and was visibly disappointed.
She wanted to help her family, and she did her best.
This space is so useless.
As for walking up the mountain, Tianbao didn't even think about it.
It’s too far and too high for Tianbao to climb.
Before leaving the space, Tianbao returned to the pear tree and hugged the thick old trunk with a sympathetic hug.
"You are the only one who is useful. Thank you, Lao Li."
There was no wind in the air, but the shadows of the trees moved automatically, and the branches and leaves swayed with a rustling sound, as if responding to the baby.
…
The doctor was invited.
After examining Old Man Su's injury, he put a simple bandage on his leg and wrote a prescription for the Su family to get the medicine from the pharmacy in town.
"It's a broken bone. You need to take good care of it. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Don't move around during this time."
"I don't have all the herbs here. Some of them need to be bought at the pharmacy in town. You can just follow the prescription."
The Su family members all looked serious, memorizing every word the doctor said. "Doctor Shi, if there is anything else we need to pay attention to, please tell us so that we can remember it well!"
Doctor Shi smiled upon hearing this and said, "Don't be too nervous. Fortunately, the injured person has no other injuries except for a broken bone. Just change the dressing and bandage the wound on time, and lie down in bed to avoid moving around and affecting the reunion of the bones."
The Su family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the doctor packing up his medicine box and preparing to leave, Su Da and Su Er both stepped forward, each took something out of their pockets and handed it to him, saying in unison, "Doctor Shi, our family is poor. Do you think it's okay to use this to pay the consultation fee?"
But in the hands of the two brothers, one palm held a thin silver earring, and the other palm held a silver hairpin with flowers.
Su Da and Su Er looked at each other, "..."
Old Lady Su paused before she could even take out the copper coin. "..."
She is a mother of two idiots, how could she not recognize what they have in their hands?
These were the dowries brought by her two daughters-in-law when they married into the family. No matter how difficult life was in the past, she had never thought about taking the dowries from her daughters-in-law.
I'm afraid that her daughter-in-law knew that she was short of money, so she took out some money to help the family out of financial difficulties.
They are all home-oriented children.
Doctor Shi was also stunned when he saw the two items, then waved his hand and smiled, "We are just fellow villagers. I came here only to prescribe some medicine, so the consultation fee is for nothing."
In the same village, everyone knows the situation of each family.
But a family as friendly and harmonious as the Su family is rare everywhere.
Waiving the consultation fee once is like making a good deed.
Doctor Shi held the medicine box, refused the Su family's offer to pay the medical fee, and walked into the night wind and snow with a smile.
Old Mrs. Su thought about it and finally didn't chase after him.
It's not that she's greedy for this little advantage. Her husband's leg needs medicine, which will cost another sum of money, and the family is already stretched to the limit.
"When times get easier, I'll return the favor."
Su Da and Su Er nodded, and each handed the things in their hands to my mother. "Mom, take this for now. It will get you through this period. We have to heal Dad's leg first. We can talk about the other things later."
Mrs. Su was silent for a moment, then hummed, "From now on, mother will treat Yuelan and Daxiang as her own daughters."
Su Er curled his lips, "Don't you always treat me like your daughter? Mother, if you hadn't said this, I would have almost forgotten that I am the biological daughter."
Xiaobao has very sensitive ears and can hear clearly the conversation in her grandparents' room without having to listen intentionally.
As soon as these words fell, the deliberately weird wail of the second uncle was heard.
Second uncle was beaten by grandma again.
However, the uncomfortable atmosphere in the air also quietly dissipated because the second uncle was beaten.
Liu Yuelan naturally heard the ghostly cries of her brother-in-law, who was deliberately trying to make her mother-in-law happy. She lowered her voice and said to her daughter in her arms, "Your father must have handed your grandma a broom."
Xiaobao pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a while, his pink little mouth curled up to the sides.
She knew.
Last night, when the pears were harvested, my second uncle handed a stick to grandma.
Dad will hand the broom to grandma today.
Dad is taking revenge.
Liu Yuelan looked at the pure smile on her daughter's face and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, my sweet baby can smile!"
Tianbao paused, "???"
She smiled?
Mom was talking nonsense, she didn't laugh.
In order to make sure that she was not laughing and to prevent her mother from making fun of her any further, Tianbao waved her little fist.
In the dim and cramped little room, pears began to roll all over the floor again.
Liu Yuelan watched as more and more pears rolled on the ground, and her smile gradually froze.
Tianbao was satisfied and stopped.
There were so many pears on the ground that anyone who wanted to come in had no place to step.
Su Da and Su Er took baskets to pick up the trash, and finally picked up two full baskets.
Old Mrs. Su looked at the large basket of pears piled high, and her heart trembled. What a blessing for her sweet baby! How many of them would be lost!
Except for Old Man Su who was lying in bed and unable to get out of bed, the other adults in the Su family gathered around the basket, all staring at each other.
With two large baskets, even if they ate three meals a day, it would take them more than ten days to eat.
Finally, Old Lady Su gritted her teeth and made the decision, "Let's go to the town and sell these pears. Get the old man's medicine back first!"
Things have their priorities and there is nothing we can do given the situation at home.
The two baskets of pears sent by my granddaughter just solved the urgent problem.
After making the decision, Mrs. Su walked into the room and gently held her sleeping granddaughter in her arms, saying with love and pity, "My dear, you remember what your mother said yesterday."
The sleeping baby didn't respond, just smacked his lips and slept soundly.
Yesterday, Liu Yuelan joked that the pears could be exchanged for silver at the market, which could be used to buy rice and flour for her family.
The adult topic was quickly brought to light.
But Tianbao took these words to heart.
