Chapter 610: Xiaoyao Water, Drink It and You Will Be Happy
It was an old-style brick courtyard with an unknown large tree in the backyard that blocked half the sky.
Lin Yiyi is naturally good at saying flattering things, and she brought the hustle and bustle and prosperity of Hong Kong city to life.
Considering that the old Chinese doctor was blind, she used many descriptive words with odor or edible foods when she spoke.
The fragrance of flowers, plants, and salted fish and multi-grain steamed bread feels like mint leaves in your mouth.
The buildings in the city are as densely packed as corn kernels.
…
The old Chinese doctor listened to her with a smile and understood the young comrade's good intentions. He had been staying in this small and cramped place for too long.
Life out there is indeed fascinating.
The guy who tricked him into opening a pharmacy in Hong Kong City seemed not to be completely deceiving the old man.
"Little comrade, you are so good at talking. No wonder that kid is willing to do anything you coax him into doing."
Lin Yiyi didn't expect to have an unexpected gain, so she moved the stool forward, not afraid of the sun, and asked curiously.
"What is it that you would do for me? Could you tell me?"
"The year before last or last year... let me think."
The old Chinese doctor stretched out his hand and calculated, counting in his mouth, "It seems to be July or August of 1976. He asked me to make him a dose of Xiaoyao water."
Lin Yiyi was a little confused by what he said, "What is Xiaoyao Water?"
“As the name suggests, when a man drinks, life is just a leisurely one.
That stuff is not easy to make. It takes half a year of boiling and distilling to get a small amount. "
“…” Is there anything good that can make you happy after drinking it?
Lin Yiyi was confused, and obviously even more bewildered, "What does this do?"
"If you want to know, go back and ask him. There is no one in the world as stupid as him to do these things behind the scenes."
The rocking chair began to rock slowly again. The old Chinese doctor stroked his beard and told riddles with a smile.
"Young comrade, you must cherish the people around you."
Lin Yiyi came here with a lot of questions in her mind, and left with a lot of questions in her mind in the end.
The man didn't come back at noon and there was no one to ask.
After lunch, Lin Yiyi asked her sister-in-law for Ma Dongmei's school phone number.
Prepare to ask her about her recent situation.
The afternoon sun brought the breath of early summer. Ma Dongmei was reading in the dormitory. She was a little surprised to hear someone downstairs calling for her to answer the phone, because normally no one would contact her.
Ma Dongmei went downstairs and quickly answered the phone. "Hello, comrade, who are you? What can I do for you?"
"Dongmei, it's me, Lin Yiyi. I'm back in Ze County. How have you been lately?"
Ma Dongmei was overjoyed. "I'm fine, Yiyi, how about you? How long will you stay?"
Is there something that brought you back suddenly?"
"Nothing else, I just came back to see the old Chinese doctor. I should be leaving in a few days. Don't mention my return to the Zhao family."
"Don't worry, I won't tell you."
Ma Dongmei knew that Lin Yiyi was in poor health, and she was also present when she fell into a coma during the Chinese New Year two years ago.
"Are you doing okay in the south? Are you used to it? Have you finished eating the pickles I packed for you?
How are the twins and the second brother?"
Hearing her asking so many questions in one breath, Lin Yiyi answered them one by one with a smile.
"They are all very good, especially the twins who are very naughty and not as obedient as Donkey and Gou.
The pickles and spicy cabbage were eaten up long ago, and my parents-in-law also liked them very much.
The person who makes pickles must be a good girl with good hands. "
Ma Dongmei burst out laughing. The leek pickles were made by her, and the kimchi was made by her mother-in-law Wang Caihong.
She is still so good at talking, and she can make people happy.
“It will be fine when the twins are a little older, boys are always naughty.
I feel relieved to hear you say that you are doing well. If I had not been absent from vacation, I would definitely come to see you."
“If I had known you were coming back, I should have made more leek pickles in the winter. How about I tell you how to make it?
You can try to do it yourself when you get to the south."
Lin Yiyi agreed with a smile and talked to Ma Dongmei about some other things.
Ask her about her situation outside without leaving any trace.
Consider that answering the phone costs money, and if you answer it for too long it will cost you several days’ worth of food.
So I hung up the phone after only five minutes.
Considering the sensitivity of her identity, Lin Yiyi went straight back to Lihua Lane after making the call.
Also chatting with sister-in-law Tian Meiling.
When Tian Meiling gave birth to Xiaoni, Zhao Jun was in so much pain that his eyes felt like they were the apples of his eyes. At the same time, the family of the village secretary was in turmoil. The female educated youth who married the secretary's son, Zhao Shuwen, gave birth to two daughters in succession and was urged to have a third child.
If it were still a daughter, even the best in-laws would start to have complaints.
As she was talking, she mentioned Auntie Sun who used to help take care of the children. "Her daughter-in-law gave birth to a boy, and now the couple is getting along very well. Auntie Sun is being disliked instead."
"They say daughters are extroverts, and sons are just as extroverted."
As we talked and laughed, it quickly became dark.
After dinner, Lin Yiyi washed up and sat at the desk waiting for the man to come back. It was not until after eight o'clock in the evening that there was a noise at the gate of the courtyard.
After dealing with those boxes of things, Zhong Jiasheng went to the old Chinese doctor's house to act as a lobbyist.
It took a lot of persuasion to convince the person.
Otherwise, his trip to Lai Ze County would be in vain if he arranged for the trustee to follow him.
"Have you eaten? There's still hot food in the pot."
Before the man answered her, the rumbling of his stomach gave her an answer. Lin Yiyi covered her mouth and giggled, then stood up and hugged his narrow waist.
"Just sit down and rest for a while. I'll bring you food. It'll only be a few minutes."
Fearing that he was hungry, she deliberately added a time.
There was a light in Zhong Jiasheng's dark eyes. He looked down at her and then hummed softly.
"I'm not hungry, take your time."
All the hard work he had endured outside disappeared the moment she took the initiative to hug him.
Dinner consisted of corn buns, mixed wild vegetables, spicy cabbage and braised hairtail. Lin Yiyi was afraid that he would feel stomach upset, so she made him an egg drop soup.
By the time she brought the food to the table, half a cup of water in the enamel jug had been drunk up.
You are so hungry but you still say you are not hungry.
She didn't rush to ask questions, but gently helped him remove the bones of the hairtail fish so that Zhong Jiasheng could eat it with the steamed bun.
"We didn't leave much for dinner. Eating too much will make it difficult to digest. Chew twice more before swallowing."
I don’t know what happened, but when the man returned to Ze County, his eating speed became the same as before.
Zhong Jiasheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her, his tone more intimate, "You little nagging."
Although he said that he disliked her nagging, his movements obviously slowed down.
After eating and washing up, the two lay back on the bed and cuddled together affectionately.
Chat content half an hour before going to bed.
Most of the time, they were about making progress together or discussing things, but there were also times when they shared interesting stories with each other.
After talking for a while, Lin Yiyi finally asked the question that had been lingering in her heart, "Cousin, I want to ask you something, what is Xiaoyao Water?"
“…”
Since he went to the old Chinese doctor's place to lobby in the evening, he knew that Lin Yiyi had been there in the morning.
Hearing her ask this now, it was not surprising. The old Chinese doctor is a person who loves to join in the fun and is eager to create chaos.
"A medicine to strengthen the body."
Zhong Jiasheng didn't tell the truth. He just rubbed her little finger with his fingertips. He didn't drink the medicine either. It didn't matter whether he said anything or not.
An old Chinese doctor said that drinking it will have a sterilization effect. Put it in a small brown bottle and keep it away from light and moisture.
But who knows whether drinking it will lead to death or sterilization?
Later, when he was hospitalized due to injuries caused by a car explosion in Hong Kong, Zhong Jiasheng took out the medicine and let the hospital test it to see its efficacy before giving it to Yang Yuhao.
After all, it took me two months' salary to get the Xiaoyao Water.
Lin Yiyi was not stupid and could tell the difference between truth and lies. She sat up straight and met his eyes.
"Don't try to lie to me. It's definitely not a medicine to strengthen your body. You promised not to lie to me."
"..." He said he would not lie, but there were some things he would never let her know.
Zhong Jiasheng frowned and blamed the white-bearded old man for being too talkative.
Seeing that his darling was not going to let it go, he had no choice but to tell the truth.
"A drug that will make men sterile if they drink it."
"!!!" God! Has he loved her to this extent?
Lin Yiyi's pupils suddenly shrank, her lips slightly opened, and her eyes and eyebrows showed shock and fear.
Zhong Jiasheng secretly took sterilization medicine without her knowledge? Is he in love?
After a moment of panic, she started to pull down his crotch.
She wanted to see if there was any difference after drinking Xiaoyao Water, but then she remembered that he hadn't let her touch him for a while.
Does the medicine work gradually like a course of treatment, or does it work all at once?
