Chapter 52 Giving Gifts Without Prompt
Lu Qingqing: "..."
Dad really loved Mom so much!
She remembered that a few years ago, many people had arranged marriages for her father, and many widows were interested in him. There was even a young woman who insisted on marrying him.
However, the father didn't want to, and the original owner even scolded people away, so no one dared to come to the door after that.
Lu Qingqing felt a pang of sadness again.
These past years have really been tough on Dad.
She ran back into the house, opened the box again, and flipped through the books. Except for two medical books, which Lu Qingqing had already finished reading, she hadn't had time to read the others yet.
I won't let my father see those storybooks anymore. After searching around, I actually found another booklet without a title.
Those were some miscellaneous things her mother had recorded, somewhat like a diary.
Today you learn to cook and burn down the kitchen; tomorrow you tease the little carpenter and he cuts his hand, and so on.
So Lu Qingqing delivered the book to her father.
"Father, this isn't a medical book either. Mother just wrote it randomly. Here, take it."
Old Man Lu rubbed his hands on his clothes before carefully taking the bag.
"My father and mother have such a good relationship," Feng Xiaowan couldn't help but sigh.
You can tell just by how much Dad cherishes Mom's belongings.
Many men, once their wives die, will clean up all their belongings and then immediately marry a new wife.
In less than six months, they can completely forget about old friends.
Father, however, always remembered his mother-in-law, and even after eight years, he still kept her clothes and belongings.
Even though she doted on her younger sister so much, she was still beaten up when her younger sister stole her mother-in-law's headdress.
Feng Xiaowan felt a pang of sadness for her deceased mother-in-law. If she were still alive, she would be such a happy woman.
Why did it disappear so early!
Hearing her muttering to herself, Lu Feng looked at her.
Their eyes met, and a unique charm seemed to spread between them.
Both of them lowered their heads at the same time, and blushes crept up their ears.
"Brother, what are you doing! This grass is all about the roots! Why are you keeping the grass and throwing away the roots?" Lu Yun shouted.
"Oh, I misremembered, I misremembered."
...
Lu Qingqing began preparing the blood transfusion supplies.
The earliest blood transfusion experiment was conducted by the Englishman Lowell.
He connected the vein of a dog that was dying from blood loss to the vein of another healthy dog using a goose quill tube, and the dog that had lost too much blood miraculously recovered.
Therefore, goose feather tubes need to be prepared.
Next is determining the blood type.
When blood of different types is mixed, a red blood cell agglutination reaction occurs, and the coagulated red blood cells block blood vessels, causing circulatory disorders.
These are fine particles that are visible to the naked eye as sediment.
Those with the same blood type can fuse.
She needs to try it several times to make sure it works perfectly.
In addition, there are anti-infection drugs.
Lu Qingqing first used her own blood and that of her family members to conduct experiments.
After the procedure, it was discovered that Old Man Lu and Lu Feng had the same blood type, while she and Lu Yun had the same blood type.
“Everyone else uses water to test blood kinship, but why did you mix two drops of blood together? Wouldn’t they both mix that way?” Lu Yun asked.
"Using plain water is incorrect and inaccurate."
Lu Qingqing looked at Lu Yun with an indescribable expression.
"Second brother, I've discovered..."
"What are you doing?"
“Your blood is different from ours, you seem to be… not our biological child.”
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Lu Yun exploded, "You dare to say anything! Haven't you looked in the mirror? Our eyes, our noses... Oh, okay, I get it, don't try to fool me again!"
"Why are you yelling at my daughter!" Old Man Lu slapped him on the back of the head.
"Lu Yun, now that your sister has found out, I won't hide it from you anymore!"
suck--
Lu Yun gasped.
His eyes widened in fright.
"Father, what do you mean?"
“You were adopted. Back then… you were only two years old. You were lying by the roadside, so hungry that you were fighting with dung beetles for dung balls. Your mother saw that you looked somewhat like Qingqing, so she said that since we didn’t need any more food, we might as well raise you together…”
Is it really that bad?
They're even fighting with dung beetles for dung balls.
It's better to just eat shit! At least that would be fresh.
Old Man Lu sighed, "Second son, don't be sad. As long as you don't leave, we're still family."
How could he not be upset!
How could I not feel terrible!
He wasn't his parents' biological son.
The older brother isn't a blood brother, and the younger sister isn't a blood sister. How could this be?!
"Little sister, you've made a mistake, you must have made a mistake. Give me another injection, check again!" Lu Yun's eyes were red.
Lu Qingqing was a little confused. "Huh? Shall I try again?"
Really?
She was just joking.
"Hehehehe..." Old Man Lu suddenly laughed.
This looks like schadenfreude after a successful prank.
"Father, you're lying to me!" Lu Yun shouted.
"Who told you to peek at me practicing calligraphy! If you ever act sneakily again, you're sleeping in the yard!"
"You scared me to death! I thought my second brother wasn't really my second brother." Lu Feng patted his chest.
Lu Yun left in anger.
He was terrified!
That hateful father of his actually conspired with Lu Qingqing to deceive him.
He was terrified...
Lu Qingqing really didn't expect that her father would become more and more eccentric, and the worried and gloomy image of the past could no longer be found.
In the evening, Sixi returned with seven or eight friends, carrying three baskets of herbs.
Si Xi was in high spirits.
He directed the sorting and spreading of various herbs out in the yard.
He's practically the boss.
"Auntie, which kinds of herbs should we collect tomorrow?"
"Let's stop picking now, let's finish processing what's in the yard first."
"Oh," Si Xi replied, then turned to the children and said, "You don't need to come up the mountain with me tomorrow, I need the gunpowder."
The children responded in unison, and two of them gathered around Lu Qingqing.
"Aunt, this is what my mother asked me to give you."
A child handed Lu Qingqing a handful of dried red dates wrapped in a handkerchief.
The other person was holding two small green pears.
Lu Qingqing glanced at Si Xi, smiled, and accepted the things from the two of them.
"Why did you give my aunt these things?" Sixi asked.
He should be happy that someone gave his aunt something.
But for some reason, this scene made him very uncomfortable.
"Oh, Sixi, our aunt can heal the sick and save lives, of course we admire her! What's wrong with giving her a little something?"
Yeah?
Si Xi looked at the two of them.
These two people had given him gifts, but he refused them. They've been very diligent in gathering herbs these past two days, and we get along quite well with them.
Si Xi pursed her lips. "It's getting late, you should go!"
"Okay, Sixi, let's go up the mountain together another day."
"Wait a minute," Lu Qingqing called to the children.
"Thank you for helping to gather herbs. I can't let you work for nothing. Each of you who gathers herbs will receive two coins."
Lu Qingqing took out a copper coin to split the money.
The children all waved their hands, but the gift was still stuffed into their hands.
After all, he's just a child; how could he not be happy to receive two coins?
After thanking Lu Qingqing, they ran home.
Si Xi was the last to leave. When she came back, her excitement had faded, and she had a furrowed brow, as if she was troubled by something.
Halfway there, he saw Wang Jincai waiting for him by the roadside.
"Sixi, let me tell you, don't let Gou Dan and Mu Tou come with you to collect herbs anymore!" Wang Jincai said angrily.
"Why?"
"Those two rascals are so dishonest. They gave your aunt something without even asking, making us feel so embarrassed by coming empty-handed!"
