Mu family's little lucky girl

Chapter 30 Doctor Liu Seeing a Doctor

When Chen Xiao returned home, he put his things in the room, greeted Mrs. Zhang and was about to go to Mu Li's house. He was afraid that he would need help later, and Mu Qing was not at home, so he could help.

Mrs. Zhang saw that her son came back from the fair with nothing in his hands. She thought that Chen Xiao had put all his things in the kitchen, but when she got to the kitchen, she found that it was still the same as before, with nothing in it.

She wondered, "What about the vegetables and seasonings you bought?"

I have rice and noodles at home, and a small bottle of rapeseed oil. I don’t need to buy these, but I don’t have any vegetables and seasonings.

Chen Xiao was stunned, "This... I didn't buy any of these."

Now Mrs. Zhang was stunned, "Then what did you buy?"

"……Paper."

Mrs. Zhang stared at her son for a long while, as if she didn't expect this to happen, she sighed and said, "If you forget it, just forget it. Just wait for the big market to buy it in two days' time."

Chen Xiao said "Oh", feeling a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Zhang saw him as if he was about to go out, and then she reacted, and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go to Uncle Mu's house. Uncle Mu sprained his ankle when he came back. His aunt is alone at home now. I'm afraid I need help when the time comes, so I want to lend a helping hand."

"I'm going." Mrs. Zhang nodded, "Wait for me to go there with you."

Mrs. Lin helped Mrs. Mu onto the bed, Mrs. Mu leaned against the head of the bed and half sat down, carefully placed the sprained leg on the bed, and said to Mrs. Lin with a smile: "Mother, I'm so hungry. Goo, hurry up and bring me some breakfast to fill my stomach."

Seeing her husband's playful smile and the mood to joke with her, Lin's heart finally eased, she smiled lightly and said, "Just wait."

As soon as Mrs. Lin left the house, she saw Mrs. Zhang and Chen Xiao coming.

"Sister Lin, I heard from Ah Heng that brother Mu has sprained his ankle, so I'll come over and have a look."

Mrs. Lin walked towards Mrs. Zhang with a faint smile: "It's okay, Ah Li has gone to invite Dr. Liu, and he will be back in a while. I'll go to the kitchen to serve Lao Mu a bowl of porridge. You two hurry up and sit in the room." In a moment, the sun is high, don't bask in the sun."

Mrs. Lin was not present, and Mrs. Zhang was not allowed to go in, for fear of being seen gossiping, she handed the things in her hand to Chen Xiao, and let him go in to chat with Old Man Mu for a while, while she followed to the kitchen.

Mrs. Lin served two bowls of porridge, one for old man Mu, one for Chen Xiao, and there was one bowl left in the pot for Mu Li.

Before going to bed last night, Mu Li specifically told her to cook mulberry porridge in the morning, and saved it for her to drink when she came back from the market.

As soon as Lin entered the room with a bowl of porridge, she saw pastries wrapped in exquisite gift boxes on the table. As soon as she put the bowl on the table, she took the pastry box and stuffed it into Zhang's arms, "What did you do yesterday?" We haven't started eating the cakes that Ah Heng sent over, why did they send them over again today, take them back quickly."

Mrs. Zhang shoved with a smile: "This is not something expensive. Brother Mu's foot is injured. Let me come and see him, can't he be empty-handed?"

"That doesn't work, how can you keep asking for your things?" Lin said that he would not ask for anything more.

Last time I sent a box of pastries that looked very expensive at first glance, and today I sent another box of expensive pastries, Lin always felt that he was taking advantage of others.

After all, a bowl of miscellaneous noodles is not worth a few dollars.

"Yesterday you brought us food again, and this morning you let me eat at your house again, and now Ah Heng is eating at your house again, we mother and I can't just eat your food, can we?"

"I still feel that there are too few things to send."

Lin said with a smile: "My simple tea and light food are worth a few silver, so don't beat me up."

Zhang said: "Sister Lin, I'm not happy if you say that. How can such a precious friendship be compared with these things."

Old man Mu watched helplessly as his mother-in-law forgot all about the porridge for him, and turned down the porridge in favor of going back and forth with Mrs. Lin. It was a pity that his porridge was left on the table and no one cared about it.

His stomach was already protesting with hunger.

Chen Xiao silently brought the bowl to old man Mu, who looked at him gratefully.

The old man Mu just took a sip when he heard the sound of quick and quick footsteps from outside, and then Mu Qing rushed in with panic on his face, "Father, what's wrong with you? Why don't you just go out and catch the market when you come back?" Is it like this?"

Old man Mu's face was a little awkward, he didn't want to mention this matter again, and said: "It's nothing serious, look at how flustered you are, you are not stable at all."

Mu Qing looked at old man Mu, and then at Mrs. Lin who had a calm face, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

If his father's injury was really serious, his mother would have cried and her eyes were red by now, it seems that it is really not serious.

Old Man Mu looked at Mu Qing, who was sweating profusely, and asked, "What have you been doing?"

Mu Qing poured herself a bowl of herbal tea, drank it, put the bowl on the table, wiped her mouth and said: "I went to open up wasteland, didn't I hear that you hurt your leg and ran back quickly."

He ran all the way home from the mountain, but he was exhausted.

At this time, Mu Li led Dr. Liu to come.

Mrs. Lin hurriedly led Dr. Liu forward and said, "Doctor Liu, please show me quickly, is this serious?"

Seeing Doctor Liu coming, old man Mu hurriedly handed the bowl to Chen Xiao, just like a student seeing Mr., adjusted his posture, sat on the head of the bed in a well-behaved manner, and Chen Xiao didn't leave after taking the bowl. So respectfully standing on the side of the bed.

Dr. Liu put the broken medicine box that had been used for many years on the table, walked towards old man Mu, and Mu Li, Mu Qing, and Mrs. Zhang all surrounded him.

Mu Li, Mu Qing and Mrs. Zhang all surrounded her.

Dr. Liu carefully looked at Old Man Mu's ankle, and then pinched it with his hands. The whole process was solemn, and everyone was so frightened that they dared not relax.

"It's nothing serious, and I didn't hurt my bones or tendons. Just stay at home for a few days and don't move around."

Dr. Liu opened the medicine box while talking, and took out a small white porcelain bottle from it. Seeing this, Mu Qing bent down to take it.

"This is the ointment I made myself for treating bruises. I apply it in the morning and evening. Each time I massage until it gets hot, it will be easier for the drug to absorb. If you keep applying it for a few days, you will be fine."

Lin quickly thanked, "Thank you, Doctor Liu."

"How much is this bottle of ointment?"

Mu Li took a step forward, stood between her mother and Dr. Liu, lowered her head and took out a money bag from her waist, took out a handful of copper coins from it, and waited for Dr. Liu's next words.

He has been a doctor for so many years, and he has never thought of using his medical skills to make money, but he also wants to survive and live, saying that he doesn't want money, those are all false.

So every time a doctor sees someone, Dr. Liu will charge a fee for herbal medicines. After settling down in Ping'an Village, Dr. Liu has always abided by the rules he set at the beginning.

However, his bottle of ointment is worth five cents just for the herbal medicine, but Mu Li's home is really too embarrassing.

"Just give me two pennies." Doctor Liu said with a light smile.

Everyone present could see that Dr. Liu wanted to save money for Mu Li's family. Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Mu's eyes felt hot, and their throats felt tight.

The old man Mu forced himself to be calm and said: "Doctor Liu, you can pay as much money as you want. It is the most affordable to see a doctor here. If you keep the price down, how can you live?"

"Yes, Doctor Liu, you can take as much as you want. You said that you don't make money and lose money when you see a doctor in our village. How dare we ask you to lower the price." Lin echoed.

Seeing that they insisted on giving it, Dr. Liu did not refuse.

"Then give me three Wen."

However, Doctor Liu still didn't ask for too much money.

The two parties didn't have much money, so they talked about how much money they gave. Mu Li counted three copper coins and handed them to Doctor Liu.
