Zhang Lianfeng coughs every night. It is not a symptom caused by tuberculosis, but a respiratory disease.
Xiaobao went to the city hospital to get western medicine for him, and also boiled some Chinese medicine to regulate his body. His condition improved a lot.
On the contrary, Duan Zhian's father suffered from rheumatism and his condition was more serious. Xiaobao had to give him acupuncture and fumigate him with Chinese medicine.
However, ever since Xiaobao helped Duan Zhian's father with his treatment, Duan Zhian's slight hostility towards him completely disappeared.
And I don't know if he noticed something, but he actually gave Xiaobao opportunities to spend more time with his second grandfather.
Just like today, Xiaobao was going up the mountain to collect herbs, and Zhang Lianfeng was assigned to go with him.
Before going up the mountain, the two men didn't speak to each other. Once they got to the mountain, Xiaobao immediately took off his disguise.
"Second Grandpa, are you tired? Why don't we take a break?"
The place Xiaobao chose to rest was not only secluded, but also allowed him to be the first to know if there was any movement around him, so he was not worried about being discovered at all.
Zhang Lianfeng did not refuse, and the two of them leaned against a big tree and rested for a while.
After he had rested well, Xiaobao asked about his physical condition again, "Have the symptoms of your night coughing subsided?"
Zhang Lianfeng: "I feel much better now. Fortunately, I have you. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do with my old bones!"
"As long as you're healthy, everything will be fine! I've also checked the health of the other grandparents, and they don't have any major problems, just some malnutrition!"
Those who lived in the same cowshed with Zhang Lianfeng were all elderly people who had been sent down from the countryside. They were all intellectuals, and one of them was even a big professor from the capital.
Xiaobao didn't dare to reveal his identity, so he didn't dare to ask too many questions.
"Well, malnutrition is definitely a problem. Not to mention that we don't have enough food and accommodation, even among the people in this brigade, how many of them have a good life?"
The Qiangouzi Brigade has fewer people than other brigades, and most of those who need to undergo labor reform are assigned here. These people are either too old, like Zhang Lianfeng and others, and have limited physical strength and cannot do heavy work.
Or they are some lazy people who don't work before labor reform, and they give up even more during labor reform.
Xiaobao: "Leave this to me. I'll bring you some food tonight!"
Zhou Yu had just arrived at the brigade and did not dare to bring food to Zhang Lianfeng openly.
However, she did send it a few times, but unfortunately it was mainly dry food and not very nutritious.
"Forget it. We won't starve to death. At least we have something to eat for every meal. You are living in the accountant's house now. If you are discovered, it will be troublesome!" Zhang Lianfeng said.
Xiaobao: "Second Grandpa, I don't think Comrade Duan Zhian is a bad person. He may have guessed that there is something unusual between us."
Zhang Lianfeng showed a surprised expression, "How could it be?"
"Don't forget, it was he who arranged for the captain to arrange for you and me to go herb picking together this time. Otherwise, how could we have such a long period of time together alone?"
Zhang Lianfeng understood it immediately. In the past, whenever he went out, he would be followed by militiamen. But now he could be so free. He really didn't believe that there was no one to arrange it.
"There's another thing, also about him." Xiaobao said.
"What's up?"
"He seems to be interested in Xiaoyu."
