Chapter 325
"Old man, I don't need to look closely to know that you are very hot."
Tang Wan felt helpless. This old man was really stubborn.
Staring at Xiaodong's concerned face, she persuaded him with both emotion and reason.
"This child is also very filial. He followed me all the way and brought me back to you for medical treatment.
Old man, if you delay this and die, how will the child survive alone?"
Tang Wan was telling the truth. Xiaodong burst into tears when he heard it, "Grandma, don't leave me!
I only have you, grandma, I can't live without you!"
Although Xiaodong is still young, he has already experienced many separations and deaths.
He knows that when a person dies, he is truly gone.
Xiaodong's grandmother looked at her grandson with tears on his face and gently wiped his tears with her old hands.
"Xiaodong, if grandma is gone one day, you must live well."
She is an old woman and really doesn't want to be a burden to Xiaodong.
But the child is so young. What will Xiaodong do if she really dies?
Thinking of this, Xiaodong's grandmother's eyes flashed with a strong desire to survive, and she suddenly looked at Tang Wan.
"Doctor Xiao Tang, are the medicines expensive?"
At that time, her daughter-in-law spent a lot of money but failed to keep the baby, so Xiaodong's grandmother gave up and dared not see a doctor.
"Don't worry, it's not expensive."
Tang Wan sighed. All people in the world suffer. Her life wasn't that good either, but she felt sorry for those who were worse off.
I gently placed my fingertips on Xiaodong's grandmother's pulse. It was a little weak and she had many hidden illnesses.
In fact, Xiaodong’s grandmother is not very old, at most in her fifties, after all, people of this generation get married and leave.
But because he was too tired, he looked old, like a man in his sixties or seventies.
"Take the antipyretic medicine."
Tang Wan opened the medical kit and poured out a fever-reducing pill, then asked Xiaodong to pour her a glass of water.
Xiaodong's grandmother drank the medicine with water, her eyes filled with worry.
Ultimately, it’s the worry of not being able to afford the medical bills.
"It's not a serious illness. Just take the medicine and it will be fine."
Tang Wan took out two more antipyretic pills from the medical box and carefully handed them to Xiaodong.
"If your grandma still has a fever at night, you can feed her this. As for the others, once her cold is gone, her body will gradually get better."
Tang Wan did not lie to Xiaodong. Xiaodong's grandmother was in good health, otherwise she would not have survived the fever for so long.
Minor ailments are not fatal, and your body will slowly recover after you get over the cold.
"Thank you, Dr. Xiao Tang!"
Xiaodong excitedly put away the medicine, and Xiaodong's grandmother thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, Doctor Xiao Tang.
How much is this medicine? "
She coughed lightly and said to Xiaodong, "Xiaodong, go and take out my bag."
Of course, she was talking about the bag where she usually kept her money. Xiaodong knew it, so he didn't care about Tang Wan and climbed directly into the shabby closet.
Then he took out a worn-out bag and handed it to grandma.
Xiaodong's grandmother opened the cloth bag with slight trembling, and Tang Wan saw that there were only a few cents inside.
This family doesn't have much spare money, they are extremely poor, no wonder she is reluctant to see a doctor.
"It's just three pills. Not expensive. Just give me three cents."
Tang Wan took three cents. She made the medicine herself. It didn't cost her any money, just time and effort.
Three cents is not much, but Xiaodong's grandmother burst into tears of gratitude, "Thank you, Dr. Xiao Tang!"
"Thank you!"
Xiaodong is not stupid. He can tell from his grandmother's expression that the medicine is very cheap.
It’s cheaper than the medicine he used to buy in town. His mother used to spend a lot of money on medicine.
"You are welcome."
Tang Wan rubbed Xiaodong's dry hair and said, "If you feel unwell, let Xiaodong come to me.
I am the doctor of your brigade. It is very convenient to see me."
"Okay, Xiaodong, you see Doctor Xiao Tang off."
Grandma Xiaodong silently remembered Tang Wan's kindness. She was now feeling weak all over and had no strength left.
Otherwise I would definitely send her off in person.
When she gets better, she will definitely thank Dr. Xiao Tang very much.
After leaving the thatched cottage, Tang Wan found that the weather outside had become gloomy. If she didn't go back, Song Jiuyuan would probably worry again.
"Xiaodong, don't send me off. Go back and take care of your grandma."
"Little Doctor Tang."
Xiaodong's eyes were filled with gratitude. "When I grow up and make money, I will definitely repay you for your kindness."
"It's not a favor. I was paid for treating your grandma."
Tang Wan was a little amused and confused, but she didn't expect Xiaodong didn't go home and kept following her.
When they were about to go down the mountain, Tang Wan turned her head and looked at him, "Don't send me off. It's not safe for a child like you to be in the mountains."
She naturally took the Bupleurum chinense under her feet and put it into the backpack. It was purely a habitual action.
Xiaodong originally wanted to see Tang Wan off again, but since Doctor Tang said so, he had no choice but to do so.
Just staring at the Bupleurum in Tang Wan's hand, he suddenly spoke.
"Sister Tang, are those herbs in your hand?"
He suddenly changed his tone and called her sister. Tang Wan was still a little uncomfortable with it, so she explained with a smile.
"Yes, this can cure diseases. You can call me auntie. I have brothers and sisters at home."
Perhaps because she was already a mother, Tang Wan felt both happy and ashamed to be called "sister".
"Okay, Aunt Tang!"
Xiaodong finally turned around and went back without following Tang Wan. Tang Wan breathed a sigh of relief and went down the mountain.
Afraid that Wang Dani and Lu Huaijing might worry, she suppressed her urge to collect herbs along the way, and came back with a relatively good harvest.
Lu Huaijing had just arrived home. He and Wang Dani were each holding a child. Seeing this, Tang Wan went straight to the kitchen.
While the two were busy, Tang Wan directly took a big hen from the Space Mall and started chopping it up.
Wang Dani just thought that Tang Wan was cooking and didn't think much about it, but she didn't expect that Tang Wan released the hen.
Then I added most of the ginseng from yesterday and stewed it directly in the casserole.
Because it is an old hen, it needs to be stewed for a longer time to make it soft.
So Tang Wan was not in a hurry at all, and took some pig ears from the space to make a cold dish.
Finally, I washed the vegetables and finished.
Wang Dani was feeding milk to Xiaoheng. She smelled the fragrance in the air and asked Lu Huaijing in confusion.
"Why do I smell chicken? I don't have any chicken at home."
She only had three chickens, and that was all the number of chickens her family could support.
The chicken kept laying eggs and Wang Dani was reluctant to kill it.
"It seems so."
Lu Huaijing seemed to smell it as well, and thinking of her daughter-in-law's determined look last night, she had some guess in her mind.
"Mom, Wanwan cooks. No matter what she cooks, we just eat it."
"You tell me."
Wang Dani rolled her eyes at her son and continued to coax her grandson. After his fall asleep, she washed their diapers and clothes.
Although Tang Wan brought back some wet diapers from time to time, Wang Dani was still reluctant to use them.
Tang Wan only uses it at night when she is at home. Usually it is not wet with diapers, and she washes it very diligently.
This also gave Tang Wan time to stew the chicken.
