Zhao Fengqiao seemed to be hesitant to speak, wanting to open her mouth but not knowing how to say it.
If there was one thing that worries her most, it would definitely be the medical expenses.
Finally, I mustered up the courage to ask. No matter what, since they came with their children, they had to make a decision.
"Xiaoxue, your aunt has never been to school and doesn't understand these things. Just tell her directly, how much does it cost to cure Xiaoyang's illness?
How long will the treatment take? You know our home isn't close to here, and we can't run dozens of kilometers every day to bring him here. Can you prescribe some medicine so we can boil it for him when we get home?
This is indeed a problem. If you want long-term treatment, you can't run back and forth for dozens of miles all day long.
Otherwise, we can only let the lamb stay here and wait until the disease stabilizes, at least it won't break out every now and then before going back.
The lamb's condition is not particularly serious, and it only occurs once every few months.
But it is also difficult to guarantee whether the disease will become more and more serious, from occurring once every few months to once every two months, once a month, or even twice a month.
You can let the lamb stay and go home after it settles down.
Anyway, a child can't do much work at home.
"Aunt, why don't you leave the lamb here for a while? You can go back when he gets better."
Not to mention Zhao Fengqiao, even Daqing and Zhao Dingxiang were a little hesitant.
It’s not that I’m worried about the lamb being here, but I’m worried that the lamb will cause trouble for Jiang Mengxue if it stays.
As long as the lamb is not sick at home, it is a normal person and does not need anyone to take care of it.
Whether it is washing clothes or cooking, you can do it.
"Xiaoxue, will it cause you any trouble if the lamb lives here?"
Zhao Fengqiao was tempted, as long as the lamb's illness could be cured.
"No trouble, I'll give the lamb acupuncture today and take the medicine first.
You also need to pay attention to your diet; there are many things you can’t eat.”
The lamb was coaxed into sitting on the chair and couldn't move. The acupuncture points were all on the head, so there was no need to take off clothes.
There is a stove at the door. You can put the medicine on it and boil it first. You can drink it after the acupuncture is finished.
Several adults looked at the lamb's head which was covered with dense needles. Zhao Dingxiang couldn't help but turn her head away and dared not look.
Thinking that her son would have to have frequent injections and take medicine in the future, she felt sorry for him.
If she had been more careful and taken the lamb to the hospital earlier, would the condition have been better and she wouldn't have to suffer so much?
Acupuncture needles are disinfected and then coated with a layer of medicine to help better recovery.
Anyway, as long as it can cure the disease, don’t be stingy in using the golden finger.
It was removed in about half an hour and the lamb didn't feel any pain.
The Chinese medicine boiled outside was brought to Xiaoyang. He seemed to be used to it. He picked it up and drank it with a gulp.
Jiang Mengxue thought it would take some coaxing before he could drink, but she didn't expect it to be so easy.
At noon, Li Xiuying came over and asked them to go back for lunch.
Zhao Fengqiao felt very embarrassed. She had already troubled others and now she still had to go to eat. Fortunately, they had brought some food before they came.
"Hey, big sister, I'm really sorry to bother you. These are the chestnuts and pine nuts we picked on the mountain ourselves. Please don't be disgusted."
They spent a long time picking at home and found that all the fruits they picked were big and plump, without a single bad one.
Li Cuiying knew at a glance that they had put their heart into it.
"Don't be polite, big sister. We are all family. The food is ready. Let's go back and talk while we eat.
This is the lamb, right? He's so obedient, he can drink such bitter medicine in one breath, he's really amazing."
Jiang Mengxue also mentioned the matter of the lamb to Li Cuiying.
Li Cuiying called her a poor child who had to suffer so much at such a young age.
Zhao Fengqiao and the others also brought their own dry food.
Steamed bread made in advance the day before.
They had originally planned to rush back after watching the show in the morning, and each of them took two steamed buns with them to eat on the way.
At home, Li Cuiying made dumplings and cooked a few meat dishes.
But there is no fresh meat now, all is sun-dried meat.
There is also jar meat, which is very fragrant when stir-fried with cabbage, and cabbage and pork stewed with vermicelli.
The flour used to make dumplings is two-grain flour. It’s not that there is no pure white flour at home, but when there is a shortage of food, it is not a good idea to use white flour.
Looking at the food on the table, Zhao Fengqiao seemed a little panicked.
It’s not that I haven’t eaten delicious food before, but I’ve never seen so many delicious things on a table.
Especially when you need help from others, you will appear more panicked.
Jiang Mengxue saw that they were uncomfortable, so she could only go forward and arrange for them to sit down. She served each of them a large bowl of dumplings and placed a bowl of dumpling soup on the side.
"Aunt, Brother Daqing, and Sister-in-law, please don't be polite. Come and eat the lamb."
When they came, they only thought they would cook two dishes. Anyway, they brought their own steamed buns, so they didn't have to eat other people's food.
But the food before them made them unable to even take out the coarse grain steamed bread in their bags.
But let’s do the things at hand first. I really can’t offer the steamed bread anymore. I’ll make up for it next time I come.
We ate and chatted about family matters at the table.
Li Cuiying didn't keep talking about Xiaoyang's illness. It was enough for her to know it herself. There was no need to keep talking about it.
Instead, they talked about Zhao Dingxiang. Unexpectedly, she and Zhao Fengqiao were from the same village.
He can be considered a distant relative of Zhao Fengqiao, and they are also a family going back several generations.
So Zhao Dingxiang was also raised by Zhao Fengqiao since she was a child.
Zhao Fengqiao also has a good relationship with Zhao Dingxiang's mother.
So when she brought up this matter when she returned to her parents' home, Zhao Dingxiang's mother agreed after a brief consideration.
Compared to those families that she was not familiar with, marrying into Zhao Fengqiao's family as a daughter-in-law was obviously a good choice.
With such a mother-in-law around, there is no need to worry about Zhao Dingxiang having a bad life.
This was indeed the case after they got married. Zhao Dingxiang and Daqing got along very well. They called each other cousins before they got married, so naturally they rarely had conflicts after they got married.
The brothers and sisters who came in later were all honest people. Small frictions were inevitable when they got along with each other, but they were not a big deal. Moreover, they were not the kind of people who liked to care about things, so Zhao Fengqiao never worried about these things.
It is precisely because of the harmony in the family that they are reluctant to split up because of the lamb.
After dinner they prepared to go home.
This time I didn't expect the lamb to stay here, so I didn't bring his food.
So Zhao Fengqiao wanted to go back early and ask Daqing to send food over, otherwise it would not be a good thing to keep eating the food from her niece's house.
The days are short in winter, and Jiang Mengxue didn't want them to travel at night, so she didn't stay long.
Before leaving, Zhao Fengqiao went to the toilet and took out a handkerchief bag from the small pocket specially sewn on her trousers, which contained thirty yuan.
This was the money she was going to use to take the lamb to the doctor.
Although I don’t know how much Jiang Mengxue’s medical treatment will cost, I know it won’t be cheap.
I also need acupuncture and medicine. I don’t know if thirty yuan is enough.
