Chapter 467 Medical Book
After that, no one came to talk about this matter.
Gu Cheng came back very early today. Before it got dark, he led the villagers down the mountain.
I only brought home a pheasant, nothing else.
Liu Yinyin asked casually, "How was your harvest today?"
Gu Cheng wiped his face and said, "We hunted a few pheasants and hares. We were lucky enough to encounter a silly roe deer."
"I'll take a pheasant, and they can share the rest of the game."
Thinking that Yinyin didn’t like roe deer meat, Gu Cheng didn’t order it.
It was good enough to get a pheasant. Liu Yinyin said nothing more: "We don't have to go to the mountain tomorrow, right?"
"No, I'll take you to see Doctor Zhang tomorrow?" Gu Cheng asked.
The two had already agreed to go to Zhangjiatun to ask Doctor Zhang to prescribe some Chinese medicine to help Liu Yinyin regulate her body.
"Let's go tomorrow afternoon." Liu Yinyin muttered, "There's a big market in the village this morning, I want to go and take a look."
After staying at home taking care of the children for a few days, Liu Yinyin really wanted to go out for a walk.
Gu Cheng nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll take care of the kids at home tomorrow."
It was difficult to take the three children with them, so only one person could stay at home to look after them.
Liujia Village is quite far from home, and gathering here is a big event, so early the next morning, Liu Mingyuan pulled a cart to Liu Yinyin's house to help load things.
Jiang Cuihua also went with them.
The Liu family is small now, and they have to frequently send supplies to the brothers and sisters on the island. They can't store anything at home, not even dried vegetables.
Fortunately, a batch of food rations was distributed to the village yesterday evening.
The family is not without means now, unlike before. This time Jiang Cuihua brought some coarse grains to the market, hoping to exchange them for fine grains.
Huang Xiaoyue is about to give birth, so I need to buy some food to nourish her during the confinement period.
People coming and going on the road are all going to their hometowns.
Going to the gathering should have been a happy thing, but Jiang Cuihua's face looked a little gloomy.
"You don't know, your second uncle came to see your father last night and complained a lot. He also said that your father is rich now, but he doesn't know how to support his brothers and sisters."
Liu Yinyin: “…”
Jiang Cuihua was speechless as she thought: "Your father is only rich after a few days of eating."
Life is better now than before, but everyone in the family works very hard, and money doesn’t come easily.
Liu Yinyin sighed: "Second Aunt came to me yesterday and told me that she wanted to send Xiaoman to the army to serve, but I didn't agree."
"I can't agree to this." Jiang Cuihua said unhappily, "Who in the village doesn't want their children to join the army? If we start talking about this, there will be no end to it."
Jiang Cuihua could understand other people's feelings, but Gu Chengzhen couldn't arrange for so many people to serve in the army.
It's wrong to help any of them, so just don't help them at all.
As they were almost at the market, Liu Yinyin changed the subject and said, "Mom, the village market seems to be more lively than before..."
From a distance, you can see the market is crowded with people.
Liu Yinyin had attended the market in the countryside before, but it was not as large as it is now.
"That's right." Jiang Cuihua said with a smile, "The harvest has been good in the past two years, and the people have demand. The market is naturally bustling. Now there are all kinds of things for sale. It's not much worse than the market on the island."
Liu Yinyin looked around and saw all kinds of people at the market, people selling snacks, people selling food, people selling handicrafts, people selling fruits and vegetables...
There are even chicken and pork sellers.
Liu Yinyin was dazzled by what she saw. She had a hamster personality and wanted to buy everything she saw.
Jiang Cuihua knew her daughter's temper, so she pulled her aside and said, "You will be joining the army in a few days. If you buy too much, you won't be able to take it with you. Don't waste money."
Liu Yinyin said, "Oh," and said, "Mom, Gu Cheng is going to take me to Zhangjiatun to see Doctor Zhang this afternoon. Should I buy something for him?"
Both Liu Laifu and Liu Yinyin received great help from Dr. Zhang.
Buy him something as a thank you gift.
"Buy it? We should buy it." Jiang Cuihua agreed. In her eyes, Dr. Zhang was the family's savior.
Liu Yinyin bought an old hen and two pounds of pork, and went back home to get two packs of snacks.
Giving away four things is enough.
In addition to the gifts for Dr. Zhang, Liu Yinyin also bought a lot of things for herself.
Two spare ribs, a grass carp, and two pieces of tofu.
A packet of maltose, a packet of lotus root starch, and a packet of sweet potato vermicelli.
Two pieces of cloth, two pairs of cloth shoes, and some wild nuts, such as chestnuts, pine nuts, walnuts, etc. These things are durable, so Liu Yinyin bought them as soon as she saw them.
She wanted to buy more, but unfortunately, as Jiang Cuihua said just now, she had to join the army soon.
It’s hard to take away if you buy too much.
Liu Yinyin brought two bags of cornmeal to the market to exchange for things. After walking around and buying this and that, the cornmeal was almost gone.
Jiang Cuihua was more practical. She exchanged some fine grains for food, and the rest were oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, needle and thread, etc., which were all necessities for the household.
Finally, Liu Yinyin bought eight glutinous rice balls, and she, Jiang Cuihua, and Liu Mingyuan each ate one.
Take the rest home and feed it to the children.
After rushing home from the gathering, Liu Yinyin made sweet and sour pork ribs, braised fish, and stir-fried vegetables for lunch.
The staple food is white rice.
After dinner, they entrusted the children to Jiang Cuihua's care.
Liu Yinyin and Gu Cheng rode bicycles to Zhangjiatun.
After not seeing each other for two years, Doctor Zhang looked almost the same as before. Liu Yinyin admired him quite a lot.
No matter when, the body is more important than anything else.
"Here they are." Doctor Zhang was not surprised at all to see the couple.
Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Doctor Zhang, I am sorry to bother you again."
Doctor Zhang asked directly: "What's wrong with you?"
Liu Yinyin told him about the sequelae of her childbirth.
"Doctor Zhang, I'd like to drink some Chinese medicine, can it help me get better?"
People who give birth to children will have some sequelae to a certain extent. Liu Yinyin's situation is not special.
However, it is rare for ordinary women to take Chinese medicine for this reason.
Doctor Zhang told her honestly: "In a case like yours, it will take a long time to recover. Chinese medicine will be effective, but it cannot cure it."
Traditional Chinese medicine is not a panacea. Some difficult and complicated diseases require time to cure.
Liu Yinyin was quite disappointed, but also understood.
"Doctor Zhang, please prescribe some Chinese medicine for me. I'll drink it first..."
After saying that, Liu Yinyin glanced at the medical books on the shelf next to her and asked tentatively, "Doctor Zhang, are you selling these books?"
It would be boring for her to take care of the children at home, so she might as well read some medical books and learn some knowledge. She can't treat patients.
It can also help your family members recuperate.
Especially Gu Cheng, he had a lot of injuries from the hard training in his home army.
