Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhang, who has always been in good health, said that she fell down, but it reminded him of Song Chunhua, who always said that she was sick, uncomfortable here, and unhappy there.

With such a comparison, Song Chongjin respected Mrs. Zhang more and more.

After Wang Yongzhu came out, the doctor and the medicine boy had already gone back to the house to rest, and Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Ding had already cleaned up the stove house and were waiting for the master's orders in the courtyard.

Seeing Wang Yongzhu come out, he was busy saluting.

Wang Yongzhu waved his hand: "You two don't have to be so polite!" I was negligent in the past, and I didn't arrange a place for you to stay, because the two of you were in a hurry to come to my house, and they didn't prepare. There is only one empty room, which has not been cleaned for some days, and as for the bedding, I will bring it out to you later. Stay for one night and see what you lack, and then buy it tomorrow. ”

Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Ding saw that the room pointed out by Wang Yongzhu was directly opposite the side room where the doctor lived, with a courtyard in the middle.

Knowing that this was the master's house to avoid suspicion for them, they thanked them and took a broom and rag to clean the house.

The house had not been inhabited for many days, it was empty, and a layer of floating ash had fallen, and it was just wiped clean.

There are also no more furnishings, that is, a kang, and a table, a cabinet, plus two stools and a washstand.

There are also two wooden basins resting on the shelves.

It's only a little tidy up to live in, and the room is not small, better than their own rooms, and the two of them are no longer satisfied.

After a while, Wang Yongzhu found two half-new futons and sent them over, and also prepared a handkerchief intimately.

The two mothers-in-law hurriedly took it over, laid it neatly, and the house suddenly became popular.

"Mrs. Wang, after making breakfast tomorrow, I miss home, take two changes of clothes, and a few things to take advantage of, and take two hours off, so as not to delay the noon meal." Mrs. Ding took the opportunity to say.

Wang Yongzhu naturally didn't agree: "Okay, tomorrow morning, you will finish your own things, and if you want to go home to get things, go back!" ”

After speaking, he told the two to rest early, turned around and went back.

The two mothers-in-law waited for Wang Yongzhu to leave, and finally let go of their hearts that had been nervous for a long time, brought water to wash up, and climbed onto the kang.

Blowing out the light, in the dark, I don't know who opened his mouth first: "I think this master is very kind." ”

"Yes, Mrs. Wang is a kind-faced person at first glance, and she is also generous and kind, and I have helped many people, so it is rare for such a kind master to be——"

……

The two mothers-in-law had their own thoughts in their hearts and went to sleep.

Wang Yongzhu had to accompany Mrs. Zhang to keep vigil at night, and Song Chongjin could only keep the empty room alone.

Everyone was asleep, and the light in his room was not extinguished, and it was on for most of the night.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Zhang slept all night without fever, and woke up early, looking very good.

The sallow face finally had a little blood.

After breakfast, the doctor checked the pulse again, and then touched his beard and said, "I didn't have a fever last night, and the old man's illness is fine." Today, let the elderly go to the yard to bask in the sun, and eat light food these days, just don't get oily meat. After seven days, you can eat some eggs, and in a few days, you can boil some chicken soup and fish soup or something, and I will prescribe a prescription for medicinal food, and eat it for two months in a row, and it will be okay. ”

Wang Yongzhu was busy in his heart.

Song Chongjin also put his mind at ease, thinking about grabbing medicine for Mrs. Zhang.

But the doctor smiled: "Why do you need to go to Xiucaigong in person for such a trivial matter, my boy is idle and has nothing to do, just let him run his legs." ”

Saying that, he called the medicine boy, wrote a prescription for medicinal food, and gave it to him to replace the prescription, and asked him to grab the medicine.

Song Chongjin took out the chair in the hall and put it under the porch, and intimately spread a futon on the chair, and Wang Yongzhu helped Mrs. Zhang out and sat under the porch.

Everything was arranged, and Song Chongjin held the scroll and hurried to the academy.

After the two mothers-in-law finished their work, they came to take leave again and went out.

The doctor here also began to pack up the medicine box, and now Mrs. Zhang is no longer in trouble, she only needs to take medicine, and he naturally wants to go back to the medicine hall.

waited for the medicine boy to catch the medicine back, and taught Wang Yongzhu how to boil the medicine and how to make the medicine in person, and then he received a heavy purse and happily took the medicine boy back.

Mrs. Zhang felt distressed when she saw it: "I spent a lot of money on this disease, right?" That purse, to say the least, also gave five taels of silver, right? You ruined girl, how can you do this? It's just a fever, boil a bowl of ginger soup, cover it with a quilt, and sweat all over it! You want to find a doctor to see, that's all, I hired two mothers-in-law, this is all money! ”

Wang Yongzhu grabbed Mrs. Zhang's hand, squatted at her feet, and rested her head on Mrs. Zhang's lap: "Mother, you just need to be good, what is it to hire two mothers-in-law, as long as you are willing, my daughter will buy you two girls to serve you!" ”

Mrs. Zhang patted Wang Yongzhu, her tone was disgusted, but her eyes were with a satisfied smile: "I said it again!" Is it easy for you to make money? How can you throw money on it like this? Others don't know, but my mother doesn't know? They all look at your easy way to make money, and I don't know how difficult it is for you to deal with those men outside from a girl's family! ”

"I'm your mother, can I bear to spend the hard-earned money earned by my daughter? Is that mother or a person? But you have to take care of me every day, and you have to worry about it at home and abroad, so I should really buy you a girl to serve you! My mother is an old woman, who do you want to serve? ”

Wang Yongzhu naturally didn't listen, only smiled and didn't speak.

Mrs. Zhang had no choice, knowing that her daughter, she had always had a big idea, so she had to give up.

At noon, the two mothers-in-law came back early, carrying a few burdens, especially Mrs. Ding, carrying a package behind her back and a jar in front of her.

Seeing that Wang Yongzhu and Mrs. Zhang were curious, they hurriedly explained: "This is a jar of pickled cucumbers, cowpeas and radishes that I soaked myself, I was thinking about this patient after the fever, they all have no taste in the mouth, this kimchi is sour and spicy, just appetizing, so I brought a jar to ......."

Speaking of the future, there was a little uneasiness.

As soon as Mrs. Zhang heard the sour and spicy, she couldn't help but secrete saliva: "Originally, I didn't have much appetite, but when I heard you say this, I couldn't help it, get some and I'll taste it." ”

Mrs. Ding's expression was relieved, and she hurriedly put down her burden, ran to the stove house, took clean chopsticks and bowls, fished out a few pieces, and sent them to Mrs. Zhang.

The pickled cucumber, cowpea and radish are placed in a bowl, white and green, accompanied by two small red and red peppers, a sour and spicy breath, straight to the nose.
