The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, light snow fell.

Today, Li Sanniang didn't get up even after the fifth watch. Today was a special day. Li Sanniang had already asked for leave from the Imperial Medical Office, so she was not required to be on duty today.

Lu Zhuer is already ten years old and has long stopped sleeping in the same bed as Li Sanniang.

After all, it was a routine that she had long been accustomed to. Even if Li Sanniang wanted to close her eyes and sleep for a while, she couldn't fall asleep.

In this way, Li Sanniang took advantage of the situation. After she was fully dressed, as soon as she opened the door, a wave of cold air rushed into the house from outside.

The cold air breathed into the nose, so cold that it made people want to shiver.

Before daylight, the first thing Li Sanniang saw was Qiuxiang boxing in the large yard of her new home, and the second thing she saw was the layer of white on the ground.

Li Sanniang stood under the corridor and watched for a while. When Qiuxiang finished her boxing, she quickly called to Qiuxiang and said, "I told you to get an indoor practice room for you, so you don't have to get cold in this snowy morning. "

Qiuxiang knew that Li Sanniang felt sorry for her. She raised her hand to wipe the sweat beads from her temples, turned her head and smiled flatteringly at Li Sanniang.

After all these years, how come Qiuxiang doesn't know Li Sanniang's weakness?

Facing Qiuxiang's smile, how could Li Sanniang have the heart to talk about her again?

"Go and wipe it quickly, don't catch the cold."

"Hey!"

Li Sanniang watched Qiuxiang go to the kitchen, then turned back to the door of the next door and knocked twice. She called softly: "My eldest baby, baby Zhu'er, are you awake?"

Okay, I have to go out for a long time today. "

Lu Zhuer was a good-tempered person, so Li Sanniang just called her once and she answered.

After the three of them had packed up and one of them ate a steamed pancake with fried chicken and vegetarian stuffing, Lao Shi also knocked on the door outside.

"Sister-in-law, it's me, I'm here."

"Hey, here, I left this specially for you. Eat it on the way."

Lao Shi did not refuse, took the oil paper bag handed over by the third lady and put it into his arms.

"Auntie, I want to watch Jing'er from the carriage with Uncle Ten."

Li Sanniang always responded to Lu Zhuer's words. She did not stop her because of the cold wind outside. Instead, she put the cloak she had brought out early to cover her body.

Leaving the alley and heading towards the street with a gentle clatter of horse hooves, Li Sanniang slightly raised the curtains and looked at the street scene outside.

The weather with light snow did not stop Chang'an people who got up early from starting their busy day.

Steaming steam wafted out from the entrances of every breakfast shop. The peppery mutton soup cakes were really hot on a morning like this.

Li Sanniang could see how delicious the food at this shop was when she saw the queues forming outside the Zhouji Mutton Soup Shop.

While waiting in line at Anhua Gate to leave the city, Li Sanniang specially invited Lao Shi to buy a hot sweet pear soup drink from a roadside tea stall.

"Auntie, let's buy another pot and take it with us. Uncle Fang must also like this sweet soup."

When Li Sanniang heard what Lu Zhu'er said, she was stunned for a few breaths before she realized, "Hey, you're right.

Your uncle Fang ate so much bitter medicine soup, didn't he just want to drink this sweet soup? "

Turning her head, Li Sanniang raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, turned around and said to Lao Shi outside: "Old Shi, could you please go buy another pot and we'll take it with us."

Chang'an City has been very lively in the past few years. Even if they leave the city on this official road, the howling cold wind does not stop the caravan from moving.

The carriage that Li Sanniang and the others were riding in followed the convoy out of the city, and faced a large caravan with dozens of camels carrying goods. Luzhu'er was wearing a cloak and sitting on the shaft of the carriage, looking curiously at the two-humped camel with a thick coat, and the Western Hu man sitting between the two humps of the camel, with a different face, curly hair, and bright colors. The costumes are very interesting.

After passing the caravan waiting to enter the city, Luzhu'er approached Lao Shi and whispered to him: "Uncle Shi, they really smell bad. I'm afraid they didn't take a shower after walking on the road. "

As soon as we got to the official road in the outer three cities, the flow of people, carriages and horses suddenly decreased a lot, but there were always three or five carriages passing by Li Sanniang's carriage.

After walking for about an hour, after the snowflakes in the sky turned from light snowflakes to big snow flakes, Li Sanniang and the others finally arrived at today's destination.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of a farmer's yard. Duoshou, wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, had been waiting here for a long time. He already had a layer of white on his body.

"Why don't you wait early?

It's cold today, don't freeze. "

Duoshou bowed to Li Sanniang before replying with a smile: "Sanniang, it's okay, I didn't wait long."

Qiuxiang handed over a basket, and Duoshou quickly took it: "I missed Sanniang's things again, thank you Sanniang."

Li Sanniang smiled, then held another basket and said to Duoshou, "Let's go and see your master."

Li Sanniang held the basket in her right hand and held Luzhu'er in her left hand. Qiuxiang stood aside and held an oil-paper umbrella for Li Sanniang. Lao Shi followed everyone silently.

I followed Duoshou all the way up the mountain, and climbed for more than a quarter of an hour before reaching the halfway point.

We arrived at the place after turning in the southeast direction halfway up the mountain.

"Third Lady, please talk to Lord Lin. I'll wait at the intersection."

Li Sanniang looked at the clean tomb with only a patch of white snow and knew that Duoshou must have been cleaning it every now and then.

I don't know if it was a real act of heaven and earth or a coincidence, but the snow that had been falling all the way stopped as soon as Li Sanniang took the incense to light it.

"Auntie, Uncle Fang knows that we are here to see him!"

Li Sanniang smiled at Lu Zhuer and said nothing more.

Li Sanniang took Luzhu'er to burn incense on Fang Chengxian's tombstone, placed four tributes, and added the pot of sweet pear soup that was still warm at this moment.

The year Lu Zhuer just celebrated her seventh birthday, Fang Chengxian left this world forever a few days later.

In fact, Li Sanniang, Li's father and even Dr. Liang had long known that such a day would come. Fang Chengxian's condition was already not very good that year.

By the middle of that year, he could no longer get out of bed.

Li Sanniang and the others discussed whether they should take a gamble and fight fire with fire to gain a chance of survival. In the end, Fang Chengxian took the initiative to give up the idea.

Fang Cheng, who was so thin that there was only a handful of bones left, first said to Li Sanniang: "Sanniang, don't force me, this is it.

I have not been short-changed in my life. I have Jingzhen and a close friend like you. I am fortunate to have met doctors with superb medical skills like you, Dr. Liang and Dr. Li, who have helped me live longer for so many years.

I am content, really content.

Sanniang, I'm tired, that's it. "

============================

The length of life is limited. May we all live a wonderful and profound life in our limited life.

Death is not terrible, what is terrible is before death.

However, birth, old age, illness and death are something everyone has to experience. We cannot control death, so we must live a good life seriously and spend every day well while we are alive.
