Chapter 447
"Mom, I learned from a teacher."
Hu Xiaocao was a little angry. She didn't expect her mother to come to her house without permission.
It's already a blessing for her to be able to learn things from Teacher Tang, why does she want to cause trouble!
"I am talking to Doctor Tang, you have no right to speak."
Xiaocao's mother pushed Hu Xiaocao away and looked at Tang Wan with excitement.
"Mother Xiaocao, if you feel that I am hindering your family's affairs, then take Xiaocao away."
Tang Wan's expression was slightly indifferent, not because she looked down on Xiaocao, but she valued Xiaocao more in front of Hu Xiaocao's mother.
I'm afraid this little girl will become even more aggressive.
Sure enough, Tang Wan's indifferent look stunned Xiaocao's mother, and she glared at Hu Xiaocao fiercely.
This is a useless thing!
"Then my little grass helps you collect herbs every day."
"Mother Xiaocao, I am not charging tuition fees because of the brigade's respect.
Have you ever seen an apprentice pay his salary when he learns from a master? "
Tang Wan was extremely speechless. She had never seen such a weirdo like Xiao Cao Niang.
"mother."
Hu Xiaocao felt extremely embarrassed, but she didn't blame the teacher.
It’s all her mother’s fault!
"If you don't let me learn, then I won't learn. Please don't make things difficult for the teacher."
She added sadly, "Then I will never be able to teach my brother again.
I can’t listen to Grandpa and ask for more gifts, but I will try my best to do the housework.”
Her lost look startled Xiao Cao Niang slightly, and she was surprised by Tang Wan's indifferent attitude.
She finally understood that Hu Xiaocao was dispensable.
"So what..."
Hu Xiaocao's mother was a little unwilling to accept it. She looked at Tang Wan eagerly and said deliberately:
"I heard you said you made a lot of heatstroke medicine. Your grandfather has been very stuffy these past two days. I'm afraid he has heatstroke."
"The teacher made some Huoxiang pills, 50 cents a serving, and I felt almost numb after eating them."
Hu Xiaocao spoke up in front of Tang Wan because she didn't want her mother to take advantage of her.
Her teacher is very good and kind.
“Fifty cents?!!!”
Hu Xiaocao's mother raised her voice, obviously a little bit unbelievable, and she muttered.
"We are all family, why do you still ask for money?"
“The health center is a public one.”
Hu Zi reminded quietly that he also couldn't stand Hu Xiaocao's mother. If her mother wasn't so harsh, Xiaocao would definitely be able to study with the teacher all day like them.
"Do you want it?"
Tang Wan raised her eyelids indifferently, walked towards the medicine cabinet, and fiddled with the abacus on the table with her fingertips.
"never mind."
When Hu Xiaocao's mother thought about paying, her expression changed immediately, "Her grandfather just feels a little uncomfortable.
I'll go back and ask him. There's no rush. Maybe he'll be fine after a rest."
After saying that, she ran away, as if she was afraid that Tang Wan would ask her for money.
Hu Xiaocao then said to Tang Wan apologetically, "I'm sorry, teacher, I made things difficult for you."
"You didn't do anything wrong, so you don't have to apologize."
Tang Wan continued to prepare the herbs in her hand, and did not forget to say to Hu Xiaocao: "The more I show that I care about you, the more your mother will push her.
So you are not angry when I said that just now, right? "
Hu Xiaocao's family is complicated, and Tang Wan is also worried that she is too sensitive and might overthink things.
Hu Xiaocao shook her head repeatedly, "I know the teacher is doing this for my own good, so of course I won't be angry.
Even if what the teacher said is true, I won’t be angry. My mother did something wrong.”
"Okay, study hard."
Tang Wan patted Hu Xiaocao's shoulder helplessly. The only way for her to escape from a family like this was through her own efforts.
“Don’t fall behind in your cultural studies.”
The college entrance examination will be resumed soon, and they have to rely on knowledge to leave these small villages.
"Okay, teacher."
Hu Xiaocao became more and more attentive and even read and took notes while eating.
At night, when everyone in the family was asleep, she was still in the dark recalling what she had learned during the day.
Tang Wan saw all of this and naturally taught them more attentively.
Early that morning, Tang Wan took Hu Zi, Dong Zi and the other two to pick medicinal herbs in the mountains.
"It's hot, pick some honeysuckle and make tea."
Tang Wan did have a lot of chrysanthemums and honeysuckle at home, but there weren't many left in the clinic.
Tang Wan thought about picking some and putting them in the clinic so that people who came could have some to drink.
"good."
Huzi, Dongzi and the other two were very obedient. They squatted down and started picking honeysuckle.
When the three of them were busy, Tang Wan vaguely heard footsteps and turned around to see Xiao Cao Niang.
Being caught by Tang Wan, Xiaocao's mother felt a little embarrassed, and Xiaocao looked at her in confusion.
"Mom, why did you get up so early today?"
It’s no wonder that Hu Xiaocao is curious, her mother is the laziest woman in the family.
She and her grandmother do all the housework, and they are usually the ones who go to bed the latest.
No matter how hard she tries to make her grandmother behave herself, she can't do anything to her mother.
"You are busy, so I want to go to the mountains to get some wild vegetables to eat."
This is not like Hu Xiaocao's mother, but Xiaocao has been busy lately, so everyone can understand why she did this.
"oh."
Hu Xiaocao nodded and stretched her neck to look at them.
"What are you picking?"
"Honeysuckle."
Hu Xiaocao frankly said that he knew almost everyone in the Honeysuckle Brigade, so there was nothing strange about it.
“Oh, is this also a herbal medicine?”
Hu Xiaocao's mother looked puzzled, and Tang Wan smiled and explained, "Honeysuckle has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and evacuating wind-heat."
"Master, five-fingered peach!"
At this moment Dongzi suddenly cried out in surprise, even though it was not yet completely light.
But Tang Wan walked over quickly and saw quite a few five-fingered peaches.
"Well, we are lucky. Don't go home for lunch. Let's eat in the hospital.
This thing can strengthen the spleen and lungs, promote qi and remove dampness, and beautify the skin. "
"The medical book says you can make pork rib soup."
Dongzi was also very excited, and even wanted to pick more and ask the master for some later.
He took it back and made some soup for his grandmother.
The four of them went to pick five-fingered peaches excitedly and did not notice the excited look in Hu Xiaocao's mother's eyes.
She stretched her neck to look for a few times, then picked some honeysuckle and left.
"It's a lot, Master. Can I have some to make soup for my family?"
Dongzi has never been such a tactless person, and he really gained a lot this time.
Tang Wan smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's make some soup at noon, and after the rest is prepared, we can share it among the four of us."
She was very generous and this thing was not precious, so Tang Wan quietly picked some and put them into the space.
Therefore, there are seeds in the space medicine field, and there will be no shortage of them in the future.
This morning the four of us returned with a full load. On the way back to the brigade, the members had already gotten up early to go to work.
Seeing the honeysuckle and five-fingered peach in their backpacks, Aunt Hu said:
"This honeysuckle is pretty good. I'll pick some and dry them to make tea later."
"Of course, there are a lot of them in the mountains right now."
Tang Wan greeted Aunt Hu with a smile, saying that there were plenty of honeysuckle in the mountains and they were not treasures at all.
Every household picks some to dry in the summer.
