Chapter 89 Sending Medicine to Parents
After eating a big bowl of hot noodles, Gao Mingcheng and Gao Zhuang felt extremely satisfied.
After Gao Mingcheng put down the bowl, he said, "I'll go to my house and take a look."
When children come back from a long journey, they will definitely go back to their parents' home to visit. Even if the family has not been separated, they will still visit and report that they are safe, not to mention that they have not been separated.
He took the things he had prepared and returned to his home, which was only a minute or two away.
The yard door was not closed yet, the lights were on inside, and voices could be heard coming from inside.
"You too, you actually fought with others for a few tea seeds and even fell down!" Gao Yuanjian scolded, his tone filled with anger.
"Is it my fault? I was the one who saw the tea tree, but Gao Fuqiang's mother insisted on coming over to pick it up. I refused. I didn't expect that she would push me! If she hadn't pushed me, would I have fallen and got hurt?" Luo Xiaohua grumbled loudly in dissatisfaction, and called her eldest son to find trouble with Gao Fuqiang and ask Gao Fuqiang's family for money for medicine.
Gao Yuanjian refused to let his eldest son go, and scolded him, "Aren't you ashamed? The tree is public property. Why can you pick the trees but she can't?"
"Why not? Last time when I picked gardenias, she protected a patch of gardenia trees and wouldn't let me pick them! If she hadn't done that first, would I have been able to do this?" Luo Xiaohua was also very angry.
Gao Fuqiang's family was too domineering and even bullied her.
She also gave birth to many sons. Does that mean Luo Xiaohua is afraid of her?
Gao Mingcheng just heard all this when he walked in. His mother had fallen and was injured, so she couldn't move. She was sitting on a chair with her right trouser leg rolled up high, exposing her calf, which was swollen and blue, and there was a bleeding wound.
There was a thick layer of soot on the wound.
The ash on the bottom of the pot is also called Baicao Frost. It is the black ash scraped off from the bottom of a large iron pot. After the large iron pot has been used for a while, black ash will stick to the bottom of the pot. If it is not scraped off, the black ash will be too thick and will affect cooking.
The scraped ashes from the bottom of the pot will not be thrown away casually, but will be put into special containers so that they can be used when necessary.
Pot bottom ash has a wide range of uses, it can stop bleeding, eliminate accumulation, clear toxins and relieve heat.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back." Gao Mingcheng walked into the kitchen. Their kitchen was rather simple and there were no extra stools, so he stood.
"Ming Cheng is back." Gao Yuan was actually happy to see the second brother coming back.
Although the family didn't like the second child before, he has made visibly great progress now. He is also the first person in the family to travel far away, so his return has attracted the attention of the whole family.
"Second brother, you're back? What's it like outside? How much money did you make this trip?" The third brother Gao Mingwan immediately came to Gao Mingcheng excitedly and asked with interest.
Gao Mingcheng didn't rush to answer, but said: "I bought some anti-inflammatory drugs. I'll bring a pack for mom. We can talk later."
He put the bag in his hand on the table and turned to walk out.
Although pot ash can stop bleeding, the wound will heal faster if you take some anti-inflammatory drugs.
If there is no medicine, it would be fine. But if there is, it would be wrong not to give it to his mother.
"What is this?" Gao Mingwan curiously opened the bag that Gao Mingcheng placed on the table.
The bag contained two things that looked like tree roots and a small bag of small red dried fruits.
The small dried fruit smelled sweet and looked edible, so Gao Mingwan couldn't help but eat one, but was slapped on the hand by Gao Yuanjian.
"What are you eating? You don't even know what it is, and you're eating it!" Gao Yuanjian scolded, and then said: "These should also be medicinal herbs, don't touch them."
"Hey." Gao Ming, who had been beaten, responded aggrievedly, but turned around and said to his elder brother: "It's sweet!"
The two houses were close and Gao Mingcheng walked fast, so he returned quickly with a box of amoxicillin in his hand.
"Mom, this is anti-inflammatory medicine, take two pills." Gao Mingcheng handed the medicine to his mother.
His mother took it first, and then kept mumbling: "This medicine costs a lot of money, why take it? My wound will heal in a few days."
Gao Mingcheng didn't say anything. Anyway, the medicine had been given to him, and whether his mother took it or not was her business.
Gao Yuanjian glared at Luo Xiaohua and said, "Your leg was cut by a branch, and your son kindly gave you medicine, but you didn't take it? If you don't want to take it, give it back!"
Amoxicillin was not introduced into China until this year, so the price is expensive. Huang Dazhi had more than a dozen wounds on his body before, but he only gave him one box of medicine.
Although Gao Yuanjian and his team didn't know the exact price of amoxicillin, they could tell from the packaging that it was Western medicine, and Western medicine meant it was expensive.
Luo Xiaohua clenched the medicine tightly, unwilling to give it back, and said, "Who said I won't take it? I'll take it, I'll take it!"
At this time, Gao Mingwan could no longer hold back, and pulled Gao Mingcheng to ask what was in the cloth bag.
Gao Mingcheng introduced: "These two are ginseng, which can be used to make wine or stew chicken to nourish the body. These are wolfberries, which can be soaked in water or eaten directly. You can also put some when stewing chicken or meat."
Ginseng and wolfberry are things they don't have here. Before this, Gao Yuanjian and others had never seen them before.
But I have heard of it. Ginseng is very famous, and some stories about it have been passed down for a long time.
"Ginseng!" Gao Mingwan's voice suddenly became louder, and the others stared at the two ginsengs with fiery eyes.
Gao Yuanjian's face flushed with excitement. He reached out to touch it, but just as he touched it, he retracted his hand.
"Is this ginseng? The ginseng that can prolong life?" he said tremblingly.
Everyone gathered around, even Huang Su'e and Gao Shufang, who were in charge of cooking and lighting the fire, came over.
Because Luo Xiaohua fell and injured himself, they haven’t had dinner yet.
Gao Mingcheng smiled slightly and said, "It's not as exaggerated as extending life, but it is quite nourishing. This is ginseng from Changbai Mountain. It is the best ginseng."
Gao Yuanjian was too excited to touch it, but Gao Mingwan took it directly, shouting, "Bring me the kerosene lamp!"
Then he said, "Dad, can you run an electric wire to the house and buy a light bulb? It's inconvenient without a light bulb. I can't see clearly!"
Gao Yuanjian also excitedly reached out to hit him, shouting hastily: "Put it down, put it down, don't take it, don't break it!"
Gao Mingwan refused and just dodged it, looking at the ginseng carefully with his elder brother.
Goji berries are not that famous, so no one paid much attention to them. Only Huang Su'e was a little interested and asked, "What good does eating goji berries do to the body?"
She was a pregnant woman and was very concerned about supplements. Her parents bought her a pound of brown sugar and a pound of red dates to nourish her body.
In her opinion, since brown sugar and red dates are both red, then wolfberries are also red, so she should be able to eat them.
Gao Mingcheng saw her intention, but also said: "Goji berries can nourish the liver and kidneys, improve eyesight and blood, and enhance people's immunity. Sister-in-law can eat it, but pregnant women should eat less ginseng."
After getting the answer, Huang Su'e immediately looked at Luo Xiaohua.
Luo Xiaohua treated her very well and was willing to give her the good things at home.
Seeing her look, Luo Xiaohua instinctively said, "Oh, if you can't eat ginseng, then eat more wolfberries!"
I also asked Gao Mingcheng how much the ginseng and wolfberry cost respectively.
Gao Mingcheng didn't say it directly, but said: "Most of the money I made on this trip is here."
