Chapter 1080: Backing (Thanks to the book friend "Autumn" for the reward)
Old Zhou, not caring that it was still autumn, walked around the village in full dress, sweating profusely. Then, returning home, he called out, "Fourth Brother, your wife has given birth. When are you planning on going to the capital?"
He missed Manbao. Even if he couldn't go to the capital to see his daughter, he could let the fourth son go and see her.
Zhou Silang came out holding his second son, shaking him to sleep, and replied, "Dad, it's still early. The grain has just been stored in the warehouse. The privet fruit, ginger, and old ginger have all been collected."
He said, "There's a lot of old and fresh ginger in the village this year. Since we're going to the capital, I figured I'd grab some on the way. Didn't Wulang say that everything is expensive over there? If everything is expensive, then ginger and yams must be expensive too. This trip won't be expensive if we don't leave empty-handed."
"How dare you carry so much stuff on the road by yourself? We are so far away from the capital." Old Zhou said, "You can be robbed even within a day of traveling to Yizhou City."
Zhou Silang: "...Who said I went there alone?"
Old Zhou said worriedly, "If your third brother and the others go too, the travel expenses will be too high."
Zhou Silang: "...Dad, I have friends, and I left with them."
"What friends?"
"There are a few people from Yizhou City called Sanzi. They don't have any land, so they basically do hard labor and beg. After I hired them last time, they did a few jobs for me. They are quite skillful. I have agreed with them that they will go to the capital with me, and I will cover their food and accommodation along the way. Once they arrive in the capital, they can find work on their own."
Zhou Silang said, "Aren't there a lot of people in the capital? Even if they were to beg for money, it would be more than what we could get in Yizhou City."
Seeing his father frown, he immediately said, "This idea was proposed by Manbao."
Old Zhou opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word. After a while, he closed it and muttered, "Really? It's enough to sell the goods to Yizhou City. Why bother with that much effort? The capital is so far away..."
When Qian and Feng came back from the vegetable garden, they heard him mumbling and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Old Zhou muttered, "Nothing much, I just feel that it would cost a lot for the fourth child to go to the capital. Do we have any money left at home?"
He said worriedly, "The wheat seeds from the last crop this year will be hard to sell. When Lao Wu and his family went to the capital, they took all the money with them..."
Qian said indifferently, "Although the earnings are less, it's still enough for them to get on the road. When the weather gets cold, the family can give them some more dry food and meat strips so they can cook on the road. They won't starve."
"Once we get to the capital, money won't be a problem. Restaurants are open everywhere, so we won't go hungry."
Old Zhou timidly stopped discussing the topic and asked, "What should we bring for Manbao?"
"The new clothes have been taken to the capital by Madam Liu. When the fourth son arrives, ask the eldest son's wife to make some delicious food for him. Doesn't she like jar meat and jar fish? Make some for him when the time comes."
Seeing that he was silent and depressed, Qian softened her tone and said, "Don't worry, our Manbao is not the kind of person who would treat herself badly. She has been the best eater in the family since she was little. In the past few years, she basically bought all the meat in the family. No one would go hungry, and she would never starve."
Old Zhou said, "I'm just worried about whether she can see the emperor this time. If she can't, what will happen to this child who won't turn back until she hits the wall?"
Qian: "I'm not afraid of her hitting the wall, I'm just afraid that the wall is too hard and she'll hit her head off."
Old Zhou opened his mouth wide.
"So what's the point of being surprised right now? You can't go to the capital to help her. If you have this time, you might as well be piling up more manure to cultivate the fields and plant winter wheat. You can also grow more food at home and earn more money so that you can help the child when she needs it."
Old Zhou quietly went back to the house and changed his clothes, then dragged Zhou Silang, who was interacting with his son, out and took him to the compost bin.
Zhou Silang had a worried look on his face. He had to go back to work after just two days of rest.
Xiao Shao sent Man Bao back to Chang Qing Lane. Man Bao took a pen and paper from the medicine box and wrote a prescription for him, saying, "This is a recipe for an ointment. Take it back to the shopkeeper Zheng and ask him if he can make it."
Xiao Shao took the prescription, took a look at it, folded it, put it in her arms and agreed.
Manbao happily went home carrying the backpack and holding the medicine box.
Daji met her at the door, took the medicine box from her hand and said, "Miss Man, if you need to go out for medical treatment in the future, I will take you there."
"No, there's a car in the pharmacy."
Daji insisted, "Since the young master and the others are all in school right now, I'll pick you up. Even if it's late for you, Liu Gui will go pick them up too. It won't be a bother."
Seeing that he insisted, Manbao nodded and said, "Okay, I have to go to the Duke of Su's mansion for a consultation tomorrow afternoon."
Daji agreed.
Manbao did not go to the study to read, but returned to his room, took out the medical record and wrote down Mrs. Cheng's case. Then he took out a piece of white paper, spread it out, and began to write her treatment plan.
She has many problems, and it should be said that many women who have given birth have these problems to a greater or lesser extent.
These problems can be big or small, but they do not seem to be very serious among the patients who see the doctor now. Manbao feels that she can cure them, but when she really picks up the pen to write, she finds that there are many points she doesn't know how to deal with.
For example, she knew she needed exercise to help, but the movements were...
Manbao scratched his head and could only write a rough outline for the time being. Then he went into the system to find Teacher Mo and sent him an email to discuss it.
It just so happened that Teacher Mo was free in the afternoon and he was online.
It was another fertility issue. Teacher Mo was looking up information, asking for help from some colleagues, and talking to Manbao at the same time. "You have so many cases related to childbirth. We don't have such a situation here, so I can't give you a perfect treatment plan right now."
Manbao expressed his understanding. "I've only seen it in books. I remember seeing a book about postpartum correction written by an ancient person in the encyclopedia. Oh, no, it was your ancient people, my descendants."
Teacher Mo, who knew her real age: ...
He rubbed his forehead and said, "Manbao, don't talk like that. To you, I don't think you are my ancestor."
The teacher and student studied for a long time. Teacher Mo summarized the opinions of his colleagues and combined them with the information they found. They finally came up with a decent plan.
Manbao asked Teacher Mo to check the plan. After dinner, she didn't have time to talk to Bai Shan and the others. She went straight back to the room to learn the correct posture from the video that Teacher Mo found. After all, she was going to teach someone tomorrow.
See you tomorrow
