Doctor Gao is the only doctor who runs a pharmacy in the village. Villagers will go to him for help with minor illnesses. Although his medical skills are not very sophisticated, he can treat minor illnesses.
It was the middle of the night, and Doctor Gao had already gone to bed. Zheng Xinwei knocked on the door for a long time before there was a movement inside. Doctor Gao ran out in his pajamas, "Zheng Xinwei? What happened in the middle of the night?"
"Uncle Gao, my aunt is sick and in great pain. Please go over and take a look at her." Zheng Xinwei said breathlessly.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll go get the medicine box." As he spoke, Doctor Gao had already turned and gone into the house. In the blink of an eye, he put on his clothes, slung the medicine box across his shoulder, and followed him trotting all the way to the Zheng family.
Cuihua had cleaned up the disgusting food that had been vomited on the ground. Zheng Xinyue brought hot water over and poured it into the basin. Zheng Xinyi reached out to wash the towel and wiped the sweat off her face.
"Uncle Gao is here." Zheng Xinwei called out.
Zheng Shaochun quickly stood up to greet him: "Lao Gao, I'm so sorry to bother you so late."
"What are you talking about?" As Dr. Gao spoke, he had already put down his medicine box and started treating the patient.
Zheng Xinyi glanced at the hesitant Dr. Gao and reminded him, "Auntie ate a lot of melon seeds today. She ate up a whole bag of melon seeds."
After her reminder, Dr. Gao, who was still a little skeptical, immediately made a diagnosis: "Old Zheng, your sister has overeaten. I will prescribe her some medicine to strengthen her stomach and help digestion."
As he spoke, he had already written a prescription. Zheng Shaochun handed the medicine to Cuihua and said, "Hurry up and give it to Shaoyun. I'll go see Doctor Gao off."
"Xinyi, bring me a glass of water." Cuihua fed the medicine into Shaoyun's mouth with her own hands.
Zheng Shaoyun was really scared and grabbed Cuihua's hand: "Sister-in-law, what did Doctor Gao say? I'm not seriously ill, am I?"
"Shaoyun, don't worry. Doctor Gao said you just ate too many melon seeds and ate too many rice pods. Just take the medicine and have a good sleep and you'll be fine." Cuihua responded in detail. After hearing this, Zheng Shaoyun's frightened heart finally felt relieved. He took the medicine obediently and fell asleep in a short while.
Cuihua started yawning in the late night. Zheng Xinyi glanced at the family who were waiting there listlessly and yawned herself. "Dad, Mom, I think Auntie has fallen asleep. I guess she's fine. Why don't we all go back to the house and rest?"
Zheng Shaochun glanced at Zheng Shaoyun and took a puff of his pipe: "Okay, everyone, go home!"
Zheng Shaoyun's illness had caused great hardship to the Zheng family. The Zheng family, who had been busy for almost half the night, yawned continuously and looked listless. However, after what happened last night, Zheng Shaoyun's pride had been killed. Early this morning, while everyone was having breakfast, she brought a large package and placed it in front of Zheng Shaochun and Cuihua: "Xinyi's wedding date is approaching, and we, the Zheng family, can't be too vague. Take these melon seeds to entertain the guests."
Cuihua glanced at Zheng Shaochun and said, "These melon seeds must be worth quite a bit of money, right?"
"No." Zheng Shaoyun blurted out.
Zheng Shaochun put down the pipe in his hand and said seriously: "Shaoyun, I'm not saying anything as your elder brother, but you're not a child anymore. It's time for you to learn to be independent. After Xinyi's wedding, you should find a job as soon as possible. At least you have to learn to support yourself. If you eat and eat all day and are lazy, who can take care of you for the rest of your life?"
Zheng Shaoyun curled his lips, feeling reluctant, but he didn't dare to talk back to Zheng Shaochun.
