Chapter 327
Maybe Tang Wan looked for too long, Xiaodong was a little nervous, he was worried that his skills were not good enough.
"Thank you, Xiaodong, you did a great job!"
Tang Wan stared at the herbs in the basket and suddenly had an idea. She took Xiaodong into the small courtyard.
Then he poured out the herbs inside, went into the house and took two eggs from the empty space.
"Xiaodong, I'm not asking for your herbs for nothing. If you see herbs in the future, you can pick them and give them to me. I'll exchange them with you."
She didn't say buy, after all, you can't buy and sell freely these days.
But barter is more conservative.
Besides, Xiaodong is so poor that even if the captain and the others knew, they would turn a blind eye.
"No, Aunt Tang, I can't have your eggs."
Xiaodong waved his hands quickly. He originally wanted to repay Dr. Xiao Tang, so how could he just accept her things casually.
"If you don't accept it, don't send me herbs in the future."
Tang Wan had a stern face. She really needed the herbs urgently, and she didn't want the underage people to work for her for free.
Seeing that she was serious, Xiaodong took the egg embarrassedly.
"Then I'll keep them. Aunt Tang, I don't know about herbs. Can you teach me which ones I can pick?"
He wanted to help Tang Wan as much as he could.
"OK."
Tang Wan took out several kinds of herbs that she had picked in the morning from her backpack and explained them to Xiaodong one by one.
He then told him how to pick the fruits, and finally warned him, "Don't go to dangerous places to pick them.
Herbs are not as important as human life, you know that? "
"I understand. Thank you, Aunt Tang."
Xiaodong happily left the clinic holding the egg, and happened to meet Shitou who was playing nearby.
Since the child was injured, Shitou has been without a playmate. Seeing Xiaodong, he casually asked:
"Are you familiar with Dr. Xiao Tang?"
“Not familiar.”
Xiaodong stepped back defensively. "She treated my grandma yesterday. I came here to thank her."
"oh."
Shitou did not ask any further questions, as he had just seen Dr. Xiao Tang return the eggs to Xiaodong.
Xiaodong is so lucky.
Hello, Doctor Xiao Tang too!
Tang Wan had no idea that someone had seen her giving the eggs, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care.
After all, she didn't give much, just two eggs.
She hurriedly prepared all the herbs she had picked today. It wasn't often that people in the team got sick.
Not everyone can see a doctor when they are sick. After all, people don't trust them that much.
But Tang Wan didn't care about these. She went to work every day to get everything ready.
This will help us avoid being in a rush when the health center becomes busy in the future.
As the weather gets colder, more people will catch colds during the change of seasons.
At noon, Tang Wan cooked a bowl of noodles in the bathroom. She had been there for such a long time and had hardly cooked.
You can't let others think that she doesn't eat much.
Tang Wan was washing dishes after finishing her noodles when she vaguely heard footsteps in the yard.
She came out of the main room out of curiosity and saw Zhang Xiaoju holding her belly and looking at her angrily.
"What's up?"
Tang Wan was not stupid, so she could naturally see that she was looking for trouble.
However, the other party is a pregnant woman, and Tang Wan cannot take the initiative to give others something to talk about.
"Doctor Xiao Tang, I thought you were a nice guy, but I didn't expect you to be the same gossipy woman in the brigade."
Zhang Xiaoju was very angry. In just a few days, everyone in the team knew that she, a pregnant woman, was sick.
There were even rumors that she would die in childbirth like the damned woman before her husband.
She was angry and sad after hearing this, so she rushed to question Tang Wan.
"What do you mean?"
Tang Wan frowned, "Please explain your words more clearly."
She doesn't like being misunderstood.
"You and my family are the only ones who know about my illness, but now everyone in the team is spreading rumors that I'm sick!
Some even said that I was too sick to give birth and cursed me for having a difficult delivery!"
Zhang Xiaoju was very angry. She believed that her family members would not be so bored as to go out and talk nonsense.
Thinking back to what Deng Xiaomei had said before, she was certain that Tang Wan had gone out and talked nonsense.
"Believe it or not, I have never told anyone about your illness, except your family."
Tang Wan still has this professional ethics, and this is not her first time as a doctor.
Zhang Xiaoju didn't believe it. "I met Deng Xiaomei at your door last time. She said it was you who said it."
“She did ask me, but I didn’t say it.”
Tang Wan frowned, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not, anyway I didn't say it.
And your disease won't be fatal if it's well controlled. If you take good care of yourself, your child will be fine."
She immediately thought that Deng Xiaomei might have done this on purpose.
Just because she wouldn't show her the gender of her child?
For a moment, Tang Wan was filled with disgust towards Deng Xiaomei. This person was really annoying.
"You really didn't say that?"
Zhang Xiaoju was still a little suspicious. She always thought that Tang Wan was taking revenge on her because she didn't ask her to see a doctor.
"No."
Tang Wan shrugged, "We have no grudges against each other. I just joined your team. Is it worth it for me to offend your parents?"
This is the truth. After all, Zhang Xiaoju's parents-in-law are the people with the most say in Huzhuang Brigade.
Zhang Xiaoju fell silent after hearing this, and then said hesitantly, "But last time I went to the hospital for a checkup, I got the medicine directly from there."
"What does this have to do with me?"
Tang Wan was a little speechless, "I told you last time when Aunt Hu came that I don't have any medicine for your illness yet.
Even if you come back to see me, you still have to go to the hospital to get medicine. Is it worth it?"
Does she look like an unscrupulous doctor who is confused?
Every word Tang Wan said made sense, and now Zhang Xiaoju became the confused person.
Suddenly, she thought of Deng Xiaomei's character.
This person often talks nonsense in the team, maybe she is the one who is talking nonsense!
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoju said to Tang Wan apologetically: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you.
But I will find out the truth, and if it has anything to do with you, I will still come to you."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left without giving Tang Wan a chance to react. Tang Wan just shook her head helplessly.
I didn't take it seriously.
After all, it was someone else's team, and adhering to the principle of less trouble is worse than more, Tang Wan continued to fiddle with her medicinal herbs.
In the afternoon, Xiaodong happily brought back a basket of herbs. "Aunt Tang, I picked them all according to your instructions."
"Why are you collecting herbs again?"
Tang Wan was a little surprised. This child is really diligent.
"I just have nothing to do."
Xiaodong chuckled. It was no longer the busy farming season and his family didn't raise pigs or anything.
Normally at this time he would be collecting firewood in the mountains to prepare for the winter, so he had plenty of time.
"Let me see."
Tang Wan carefully examined the quality of the herbs and fell to the ground with great joy.
She was just about to go into the house to get something when Xiaodong ran away with a backpack on his back.
"Aunt Tang, my grandmother said that I made a lot of money by exchanging an egg for a basket of herbs.
You go ahead, I still have to go collect firewood, bye!"
He ran away without giving Tang Wan a chance to get anything, which made Tang Wan very helpless.
This child is honest.
