In the evening, when Li Mingqing arrived at the village entrance, he saw his wife and Zhao Hongbin and his wife sitting under a willow tree.
"Brother, you are finally back."
"You won't be here at three or four o'clock, will you?"
"That's right. I can't stay at home. Fortunately, it's the slack season now. In a few days I'll be busy as hell."
Hearing this, Li Mingqing rolled his eyes at him and said, "Didn't I tell you to come back after five o'clock?"
"I'm afraid you'll get off work early, so come early and leave early."
"Well, worrying about something can lead to confusion. Forget it, let's go. By the way, wife, you and your sister-in-law should go home and wait for news."
Li Xiaolan said, "I'll leave my brother to you."
"Let's go and see first. If that doesn't work, we can only go to a big hospital."
Zhao Hongbin comforted her, "Xiaolan, go back with your sister-in-law first, we will be back soon."
It took them twenty minutes to get there.
Li Mingqing almost didn't recognize the old couple when he saw them. They had aged a lot in just a few months.
It seems that it is caused by worrying about Li Xiaoqiang's health.
"Oh, I heard from Hongbin that you are an amazing doctor. Go check on my Xiaoqiang. He is still so young. If he goes blind, how will he live in the future?"
"Mom, let Mingqing take a look at Xiaoqiang's injuries first."
Only then did Xiaolan's mother stop crying and took them into the side room to check on Li Xiaoqiang's injuries.
Li Mingqing said, "Put your hand out so I can feel your pulse."
Li Xiaoqiang stretched out his hand, which still had wounds from being scratched by thorns when he fell from the mountain a few days ago.
The old couple held hands tightly and were extremely nervous.
"I fell down the mountain and hit my head. There's a blood clot in my head. Fortunately, the clot is small. I should be able to recover after seven days of acupuncture."
Li Xiaoqiang breathed a sigh of relief and then comforted the old couple.
"Mom, Dad, don't worry, it can be cured."
"Luckily, he recovered. When he came back from the mountain, he didn't seem to have suffered any serious injuries, just a few scratches. We thought he was fine. But who would have thought that he would be blind the next morning? We were worried sick for the past two days."
"Old woman, stop crying and making fun of yourself. This can be cured."
"When I came to my house to get engaged, I knew Comrade Li was no ordinary person. He must stay at home for dinner tonight."
Seeing the old couple so excited, Li Mingqing said, "Hongbin, take the old man out first."
After they left, Li Mingqing took out silver needles and started acupuncture.
"It will be a little painful at first, just bear with it."
"fine."
Li Xiaoqiang thought that this little pain was nothing, as long as he could see the light again, everything would be fine.
Half an hour later.
A small amount of dark red blood flowed from Li Mingqing's nose and ears.
He wiped the blood away with a tissue soaked in alcohol.
Otherwise, when the old couple comes in later, they might be scared to death.
"How does it feel?"
"It's pretty good, except that the needles hurt a little at first, but then I didn't feel anything."
"Okay, take a good rest. I'll come back tomorrow afternoon to give you acupuncture."
As soon as they heard the door open, three people immediately surrounded them.
"How is my son?"
"Don't worry, Auntie. The acupuncture process went very smoothly. I'll come back tomorrow afternoon."
Xiaolan's mother came into the room and saw Li Xiaoqiang sitting there and started wiping her tears.
"Mom, don't cry. Brother-in-law and Brother Li will have dinner here," said Li Xiaoqiang.
"That's right, I'll go cook now."
Li Mingqing hurriedly stopped Xiao Lanniang who was turning around to leave.
"Auntie, I won't stay for dinner. I have something to do at home. Let's talk later."
Zhao Hongbin also said, "Mom, don't bother. I'll go back and tell Xiaolan the good news so she won't worry."
Old man Li caught a big hen and wanted to tie it to the handlebars of his bicycle.
"Hens need a lot of food, Comrade Li. This hen may be small, but it has a lot of meat on it."
"Sir, no, no, no."
Li Mingqing winked at Zhao Hongbin while speaking, and he immediately understood.
"Dad, there are only two chickens at home. Besides, there is no shortage of chickens at home during Qingming Festival."
"One thing is one thing, if there's no shortage of chickens at home, you can just kill them and have some soup."
In the time it took to say these two sentences, Li Mingqing untied the cloth rope tied to the chicken's legs, and the hen flapped its wings twice and ran away.
"You kid."
The old couple sent Li Mingqing and Zhao Hongbin to the village entrance.
The old woman who had just returned from work said, "Xiao Lan's mother, this young man is from Lijia Village, right? I saw him when Xiao Lan got engaged last time."
"Yes, he is a good brother of my son-in-law Zhao Hongbin."
"Are you married?"
"The wife is already showing her pregnancy."
"What a pity! My daughter is the most beautiful girl in the village, and she's a perfect match for this guy."
Zhao Hongbin looked at Li Mingqing with a suppressed smile.
Just because he rides a bicycle, all the families with daughters in the village want to become his relative.
Li Mingqing kicked him hard.
He was extremely worried on the way here, but after knowing that he could be cured, Zhao Hongbin no longer had one worry on his mind and started teasing him.
Li family’s new house.
"Jiaxue, do you think my little brother will be okay?"
"Don't worry, you're healthy. Brother Mingqing's medical skills are top-notch. Don't worry."
"My parents are old. If my brother can't get better, forget about getting married. I'm afraid I'll still need my parents to take care of me in the future."
"Xiaolan, I guess they will be back soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the door opening.
Zhao Xiaolan ran out and asked, "Hongbin, how is my brother?"
"Ming Qing said it would be back to normal in a week."
"That's so kind! I don't know how to thank you enough. How much is the medical bill?"
"One cent each time, seven acupuncture sessions a week, that's seven cents."
Li Xiaolan and Zhao Hongbin were stunned when they heard this. How could it be so cheap?
"What's the matter? Do you think it's too much?"
"You are truly my brother, but you can't suffer any loss just because I am your brother. You should take what you deserve."
"It only costs seventy cents."
"From what you said, I think my father-in-law's old hen should be slaughtered and brought back to you."
Zhao Hongbin and Li Xiaolan left after they had resolved their concerns.
"Wife, you can rest assured now, I will take you back to visit your parents tomorrow."
"Thank you."
"There's no need for us husband and wife to say such polite things."
If a daughter-in-law gets involved in her parents' affairs, it would definitely be unacceptable in other families.
The Zhao family really treated her as a family member.
Zhao Xiaolan felt that such ordinary days were particularly warm, no different from before she got married.
