Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 43
There were no doctors in the compound, and no one who studied medicine. Xu Qing knew how to set bones, which was considered a rare thing.

Although bone setting is not often used, it is a very practical skill that can always be of great use at critical moments.

Liu Haizhong is several dozen years old. In terms of life experience and social experience, I don’t know how much more than Xu Qing. However, he knows nothing about bone setting.

Of course, when Liu Haizhong was young, he had seen barefoot traveling doctors on the roadside helping people set bones, but he didn't know how to do it. In addition, he had never learned anything from him. He only knew that setting bones was something that ordinary people couldn't do. I was envious in my heart, and I always thought it was amazing.

Now I heard Xu Damao say that Xu Qing helped Yan Jiekuang connect his dislocated arm today, Liu Haizhong, the second uncle in charge of the compound, looked at Xu Qing, secretly a little shocked.

After all, he himself can't do it. As for his two sons, although Xu Qing is younger, they have not improved much in their studies and have not shown extraordinary talents in other aspects. Apart from being rebellious and making people worry, they are just Even writing is unsatisfactory.

If the handwriting was more beautiful, Liu Haizhong would still be able to tolerate their poor reading. At least he had something to show, so that he, a father, could look good in front of everyone in the courtyard.

Unfortunately, the handwriting of the two sons is worse than the other, which is really unacceptable.

Compared with Xu Qing's handwriting, it's almost like a dog crawling.

In the past, Xu Qing would help everyone in the backyard to write Spring Festival couplets every New Year's Eve.

What's more, Yan Bugui, the third eldest teacher in the front yard, and Yi Zhonghai, the first eldest son of the middle yard, both admired Xu Qing's handwriting.

Even the second aunt who is even more ignorant can understand that Xu Qing is not a big person, but he is very capable!

Liu Haizhong had always thought that Xu Qing was good at studying and writing, but he never thought. Today he learned that he could also help people set bones, and his heart suddenly ached.

When Xu Qing's parents were here, he felt that he was a head shorter than the Xu family in terms of educating their children. At this moment, Liu Haizhong felt that he was not only a head short, but at least two lengths shorter.

However, thinking that Xu Qing belonged to his own backyard, and there was no boy in the middle and front yards who could compare with him, his aching heart felt a little better in a second, and he secretly felt proud.

At this moment, the third uncle in the front yard, Yan Bugui, came to the backyard with a small bag of tea in his hand. He saw Xu Qing, Xu Damao, Liu Haizhong, and the second aunt standing in the yard.

Yan Bugui first thanked Xu Damao once more, then chatted with Liu Haizhong and the second aunt for a while, and then entered Xu Qing's room.

If it weren't for Xu Qing today, his youngest son Yan Jiekuang would have suffered many more crimes.

Yan Bugui came here specifically to thank Xu Qing, and the tea in his hand was specially given to him.

Xu Qing didn't understand Yan Bugui's purpose at first. After entering the room, he picked up the thermos and poured hot water into an enamel teapot.

Yan Bugui glanced at the three little ones who were sitting on the kang obediently reading comic books together, reached out and took out a cigarette from his body, and offered one to Xu Qing.

This move may seem like nothing, but Yan Bugui handed people cigarettes. Except for the first uncle, the second uncle, and the elderly people in the courtyard, like Silly Zhu, Xu Damao had never received this kind of treatment.

After all, Yan Bugui was of higher seniority, but today, he handed Xu Qing cigarettes.

Xu Qing hurriedly reached out and took it, knowing that the third uncle Yan Bugui was thanking himself for what happened this afternoon.

When Yan Bugui saw Xu Qing taking the cigarette, he looked at the tea leaves on the table and said:

"Xu Qing, the third uncle's house doesn't have any good stuff. I bought some high broken pieces some time ago. I brought some for you today. Don't dislike it."

Hearing what the third master said, Xu Qing hastily declined.

"Third uncle, you are seeing an outsider now. We are all from the same courtyard, so there is no need to help each other. Besides, I just helped Xie Kuang's dislocated arm. It's not a big deal. This tea, San You should take it back, sir."

It's not that Xu Qing doesn't like it. In these years, Gao Sui is not considered a high-quality tea. In this era of tight economy and lack of supplies, most people's homes use Gao Sui to entertain guests.

It's just that Xu Qing didn't feel that there was any need to accept this thing after what he did today.

If something happens to someone in the courtyard, as a neighbor, you should help, no matter who needs it.

Seeing that Xu Qing refused to accept it, Yan Bugui smoked and said, "Boy, I brought all the three uncles for you. You can quickly put them away."

Seeing this, Xu Qing couldn't refuse anymore, so he had no choice but to nod and accept.

This little thing is not expensive, and it is not worth a lot of money, but what is important is the friendship between neighbors.

In the past three years of famine, everyone's life is difficult. Although Yan Bugui is a teacher and has worked for decades, his salary is much higher than Xu Qing's, but there are many people in his family, and his life is not rich.

Especially in the past few years due to the famine, Yan Bugui had almost wiped out all the money he had accumulated. In addition, his two sons were injured today and going to the hospital for medical treatment was another huge expense.

Even if Yan Bugui spends his days searching, he can't bear to go to the hospital.

Yan Bugui came over, and Xu Qing took the opportunity to ask Yan Jiekuang's injury in detail.

Yanbu Gui sighed and puffed on the smoke: "Oh, the child was unlucky and fell down for some reason. Even though I and Aunt Qian were watching carefully, and the eldest mother was also in front of me, but he still didn't do it. this kind of thing.

The doctor said that during this period of time, he could not move his right hand much and needed to rest. He was put on a bamboo board and tied with a bandage. He was afraid that he would not be able to go to school. Fortunately, the winter vacation was approaching, so it would not delay his studies too much, which is what people have to suffer. Some.I probably won’t be able to take the final exam either. "

The three little ones were reading comic strips on the kang. When they saw the third uncle Yan Bugui talking about Yan Jiekuang's condition, they all pricked up their ears, put down the comic strips in their hands, and listened quietly on the kang.

Xu Qing was smoking a cigarette, sitting beside Yan Bugui, and listening quietly at this moment.

Such a bad thing happened. It's the end of the year and it's winter again. It's inevitable for people to suffer.

Fractures are not easy to heal, and the only way to recover from a one-hundred-day injury is to take a good rest.

After Yan Bugui finished talking about Yan Jiekuang's injury, he sat for a while, then got up and left, not daring to stay longer, because firstly, it was too late, and secondly, the two injured sons in the room needed to be taken care of.

Although Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiedi and the three aunts were all there, Yan Bugui was naturally worried about his son being injured as a father.

Xu Qing got up and walked outside the house together, sending Yan Bugui out.

In the courtyard outside the house, the night was dark without a trace of starlight. It seemed that the day was about to change again.

The chill was so strong at night that the whole courtyard was so cold that there was no sound at all.

Xu Qing exhaled and saw Yan Bugui walking out of the backyard, then turned around and entered the house.

But not long after Xu Qing sent Yan Bugui away, when the three little ones got off the kang to wash their feet and were about to go to bed, they suddenly heard fierce quarrels coming from the middle courtyard.
