When Zhao Wu returned home, he carried his mother Liu Guiying on his back and headed for Xiachuan Village without saying a word.
Seeing his brother in a hurry, his younger brother Zhao Wen didn't understand why and hurried to catch up.
Lan Guoer and Tang's mother were in the yard, packing game to take back to Kyoto.
The wild boar meat from the previous year was made into smoked meat by Tang's mother, which was convenient for storage and carrying. Zhang Xiaocui sent the wild mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms that Lan Guoer liked to eat, as well as a lot of wild walnuts and chestnuts.
"This third wife is really grateful! She's remembering the kindness you showed her by giving her the prescription! Look how cleanly she's picked these mushrooms and wood ears, and they're big enough. You can tell she put a lot of thought into it."
Tang's mother was muttering to herself as she packed the bags.
"Third sister-in-law is really thoughtful!" Lan Guoer replied, "She also embroidered two small bellybands for each of Xiao Ling and the other two. I think they will be perfect to wear when the weather gets warmer."
Although the three children had enough clothes to wear, Lan Guoer was still very touched by Zhang Xiaocui's kindness.
Unlike some people who think that if you live a good life, you should give back, no matter how much you give, it is what you deserve!
As the weak, they open their hands and ask you for anything as if you owe them something, and they may even feel resentful if their demands are not met.
"It's good that she has this intention! If you two sisters-in-law get along well, it will make me and the old man feel comfortable too!" Tang's mother sighed.
"It's just that the eldest and second eldest are a bit too cunning, and they don't use their talents properly. It's really annoying to watch them!"
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law are not bad either!" Lan Guoer didn't want Tang's mother to be unhappy, so she praised her.
"Before we returned to the village, my second sister-in-law cleaned our house! Everywhere was spotlessly clean and tidy. You could tell she put a lot of effort into it!"
"Don't bother giving them any face. You're the one who makes all that money, so isn't it their duty to put in the effort?"
Tang's mother thought to herself, how could she not know the personalities of the daughters-in-law in the family?
This daughter-in-law is just too kind-hearted! She doesn't care about herself at all and spreads all the benefits to others.
"Is anyone here? Is this the Tang family?"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Here I am! Who is it?" Tang's mother wiped her hands on her apron and got up to open the door.
Zhao Wu saw the door open, wiped the sweat off his face, and showed a row of big white teeth.
"Auntie, is this the Tang family? Is there a doctor from Kyoto?"
"Who are you?"
Tang's mother looked surprised and glanced at the woman Zhao Wu was carrying on his back. The woman looked pale and very weak.
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law!"
Seeing Tang's mother's suspicious face, Liu Guiying pulled the corners of her lips awkwardly on Zhao Wu's back and raised a weak smile.
"It's all because of this kid being so reckless! I don't know where he heard that you have a doctor from Beijing, so he rashly carried me here! Cough! Cough!"
Liu Guiying coughed a few times and continued, "It's New Year's Day. If I disturbed you, I'll go back and deal with him. Please don't bother with him."
"Mother! Don't worry! My benefactor won't lie to me. We will definitely find the doctor from Kyoto!"
Zhao Wu turned around and comforted Liu Guiying, then turned back to look at Tang's mother expectantly and asked again,
"Auntie, is there a doctor from Kyoto here?"
Tang's mother now understood their intentions, but she was still curious and asked, "Who is the benefactor you are talking about...?"
Old Man Tang and his mother had never boasted in the village about Lan Guoer's medical skills, and the benefactor mentioned by the young man made his mother even more confused.
"At once......"
As soon as Zhao Wu opened his mouth, he realized that he didn't know how to address his benefactor!
He bit his lower lip in frustration, then suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up.
"Although Zhao Wu didn't have time to ask for the benefactor's name, he looked to be in his thirties, and he had three little kids with him. They looked like they came out of a New Year picture! Auntie, have you seen them?"
Mother Tang was unable to react for a moment to the benefactor who was in his thirties!
But the three dolls from the New Year pictures can still be identified as Tang's mothers.
"You're talking about my triplets, right?"
Speaking of triplets, Tang's mother couldn't help but smile, "Did they ask you to come to my house to see a doctor?"
"Yes, yes!" Zhao Wu felt that he had found the right door, and his face was full of excitement.
"Those two boys look almost identical, and the girl is just as pretty! I was wondering, are they triplets?"
Zhao Wu's praise for the triplets touched Tang's mother's heart! Tang's mother made way for the door, her smile growing wider.
"Since my little grandson asked you to come here, then come on in! You've definitely found the wrong door!"
Several people followed Tang's mother into the inner room.
Lan Guoer overheard the conversation at the door in the yard and knew that they were seeking medical treatment. She washed her hands and followed them in.
Zhao Wu helped Liu Guiying sit down by the kang, and Lan Guoer also came in with an acupuncture bag.
She looked at Liu Guiying and asked, "How long have you been coughing? Have you ever coughed up blood?"
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, smell, questioning and palpation. Lan Guoer had already figured out most of what was going on from Liu Guiying's face.
"You...you are the doctor from Kyoto?"
From Lan Guoer's question, Zhao Wu roughly guessed Lan Guoer's identity, but he didn't expect that the doctor from Kyoto would be so young.
"Why, you don't believe it?"
Seeing his silly look, carrying his mother all the way here and sweating profusely in the middle of winter, Lan Guoer developed a bit of good impression of him.
With a smile on her face, she reached out and touched Li Guiying's pulse.
Zhao Wu blinked and shook his head quickly! Since his benefactor had asked him to come here, he would naturally not lie to him!
But he couldn't help but wonder, this...this doctor is too young! He looks about the same age as him, and yet he's already a doctor at a major hospital in Kyoto?
Zhao Wu felt that everything he saw today was incredible!
There are incredibly beautiful little babies, triplets at that!
And this doctor from Kyoto is so young and good-looking! Fairies only look like this, right?
Could it be that this benefactor's family are all reincarnations of living Bodhisattvas?
After taking Liu Guiying's pulse, Lan Guoer asked her a few questions and said, "Your pneumonia is caused by a cold, but there's nothing else seriously wrong with you."
"What? Pneumonia?"
Hearing the word "pneumonia", Zhao Wu's body softened and he fell to the ground! As for Lan Guoer's subsequent words, he hardly heard a word.
Seeing how nervous he was, Lan Guoer realized that she had spoken too hastily!
In this era, medical conditions are insufficient and the mortality rate of pneumonia is still very high. Looking at Zhao Wu's appearance, he obviously knows how difficult pneumonia is to cure.
"Mom, please don't die! Xiaowen and my brother already have no father, so they can't live without a mother!"
At this time, Zhao Wen, the timid little boy who had been following behind Zhao Wu, probably understood something and started to cry.
