The next day, as soon as Zhang Shaofei returned home from Guanghu, he told his mother why he had been away from home for the past two days. Seeing that his mother's face looked much better than before entering the house, he opened the gift bag and wanted to take out a set for her mother. Dear, I can make her happy and happy.
Zhang Shaofei opened the gift bag and found an extra set.
It turned out that after Li Meiyu saw Zhang Shaofei going out that day, she secretly put another set of gift bags in case he needed it.
Zhang Shaofei looked at the sets of rouges, smiled, and said to himself: Could it be that Sister Yu saw my thoughts that day?
Zhang Shaofei took out a set from the gift bag and presented it to his mother with both hands.
Wang Shaoxiang took one look at it and said angrily: "I'm already ten years old, what are you doing with this? It's a waste of money! Go give it to Alan."
Zhang Shaofei explained hesitantly: "That day, when I... went to Guanghu, I originally wanted to buy a box for her. But the boss lady reminded me, 'Take it and give it to the people you love and the people who love you. '. At that time, I thought that my mother-in-law was the one who loved me the most, so I bought two boxes."
When Wang Shaoxiang heard what Zhang Shaofei said, he covered his mouth and snickered with a "chi" sound.
Zhang Shaofei saw a smile on his mother's face, so he handed over the box of rouge and gouache at the right moment.
Wang Shaoxiang took the box of rouge and gouache, opened it on the tip of his nose, smelled it, and praised repeatedly: "It's really a good product for beauty and skin care..."
Zhang Shaofei saw his mother admiring her heartily and admiringly, so he said, "Mom, I sent this box to Sister Alan."
Wang Shaoxiang waved his hand, "Go ahead." He was still immersed in the box of rouge and gouache.
Zhang Shaofei took a set of rouge and gouache and headed straight towards Houliang Village.
It happened that Lu Huilan's father and mother were not at home at this time.
When Lu Huilan saw Zhang Shaofei, she came in with a bag of gifts and walked forward as if she were reunited after a long separation: "Brother A Fei, you miss me so much."
Zhang Shaofei put down the bag of gifts and said, "I went to Guanghu for a few days and bought a set of rouge and gouache for you." Zhang Shaofei said as he handed the set of rouge and gouache to Lu Huilan.
When Lu Huilan saw the beautifully packaged set of rouge gouache, she took it as if she had found a treasure, unscrewed the lid and smelled it, and said, "It smells so good!"
Zhang Shaofei was about to imitate the scene he saw in the cornfield that day. He was about to apply rouge to Lu Huilan with his fingers, but unexpectedly, footsteps came from outside.
Zhang Shaofei hurriedly retracted his hand and walked away from Lu Huilan, as if he had done something wrong, his heart was beating "quickly".
Zhang Shaofei was in shock when he saw Lu Huilan's mother coming in from outside.
As soon as Zhang Shaofei saw it, he hurried forward to greet him and said tremblingly: "Hello... aunt!"
When Lu Huilan's mother saw it was Zhang Shaofei coming, she walked over and said gratefully: "It's Ah Fei here."
Zhang Shaofei said respectfully: "Yes, aunt, I'm here to visit you."
Lu Huilan's mother said happily: "Okay! Come and visit often when you have time. How is your mother-in-law lately?"
"Okay. My mother wants me to say hello to you on her behalf!"
After some exchanges of greetings, Lu Huilan and her mother changed the topic and turned to the last time Zhang Shaofei got rid of the "water monster". "A Fei, that night, when the 'water monster' jumped up to the water to eat the big duck, Alan saw that you were also on the boat on the river, and he was so frightened that he fainted..."
Lu Huilan interrupted her mother and said, "Mom, it's been so long, why are you still bringing this up?"
"Okay, okay, okay, grandma, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's talk about the twenty taels of silver reward. Fei, this is your duty. Why don't you just give Lu Huilan a share?" Lu Huilan's mother looked at it. Zhang Shaofei asked puzzledly.
Zhang Shaofei smiled and repeated his mother-in-law's words to Lu Huilan's mother, and then said: "If Alan girl hadn't said about the 'water monster' eating people that day, how would I have gotten so many silver rewards! This is what Alan girl deserves." Auntie, please don’t refuse.”
"Then, Auntie will treat it as a betrothal gift." Lu Huilan's mother said with a happy smile.
When Zhang Shaofei and Lu Huilan heard this, their faces immediately turned red. Lu Huilan quickly interrupted her mother, "Mom, what are you talking about?"
Zhang Shaofei also said embarrassedly: "Aunt, our Lu family should ask a matchmaker to bring the betrothal gift!"
Besides, Lu Huilan and her father, Lu Xueru, were teaching the Book of Songs to his disciples in the school. One student's parents came to report to him: "The young man who got rid of the 'water monster' last time, Zhang Shaofei, came to visit him, and now he is at home."
After hearing this, Lu Xueru said to his disciples: "You should review by yourself first, and come back as soon as you go, sir." After that, he hurried out of the school and hurried home. Unexpectedly, when he was about to get home, he accidentally kicked a big stone on the side of the road, fell down and fainted.
Neighbor Li Erniu saw Lu Xueru fall on the road, and immediately walked over and carried Lu Xueru back to his home.
Zhang Shaofei and Lu Huilan's mother were chatting about the betrothal gift in the room when they suddenly saw Li Erniu coming back carrying Lu Xueru on his back and hurriedly stepped forward.
Zhang Shaofei went up to help Lu Xueru lie down on the wooden sofa in the hall, and asked Lu Huilan to quickly get a pillow to prop up her father's head.
Zhang Shaofei saw Lu Xueru lying on the sofa unconscious, so he went up and held down his philtrum, forehead and other parts to carry out manual rescue.
Lu Xueru's brain was constantly stimulated, and he woke up soon. He opened his eyes and saw Zhang Shaofei beside him, saying intermittently: "Ah... Fei, old... old... husband... has been... disrespected... of his etiquette..."
Seeing that Lu Xueru finally woke up, Zhang Shaofei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Uncle, don't talk yet and have a good rest."
Lu Xueru showed a smile on his face and moved his head. He was about to say "Okay", but when he saw his mouth wide open, he couldn't say a word... Lu Huilan and her mother were so anxious that they surrounded him. , feeding him freshly brewed ginger tea, and rubbing wind oil on him...
Zhang Shaofei judged based on experience that Lu Xueru's condition may be serious and he must be sent to a hospital immediately. Otherwise, the effect will be unimaginable.
With the help of Li Erniu and other neighbors, they hired a carriage and sent Lu Xueru to a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Taichengwei.
After some rescue efforts by the imperial doctor, Lu Xueru was finally brought back from the brink of death. But I can’t walk around yet.
A few days later, the imperial doctor said to Lu Huilan's mother: "Your husband can be discharged from the hospital, but it may be a bit difficult to return to walking as freely as before. You need to take your time. Unless you can find these medicines to take, a miracle will happen." Appear."
Lu Huilan's mother hurriedly asked: "Physician, which medicines are they?"
The imperial doctor wrote the names of Ganoderma lucidum, Shihuo, Plantain and other medicines on the prescription paper. He handed it to Lu Huilan's mother, pointed to the names of the medicines written on it and said: "Shihuo, Plantain, etc." Raw herbs grow on the cliffs of deep mountains and are difficult to pick. Ganoderma lucidum grows on the top of the vast Kunlun Mountains and is even more difficult than climbing to the sky."
Zhang Shaofei was listening and couldn't help but ask: "Physician Tai, besides the places you just mentioned, are there any other places where I can buy it?"
"Can I buy it elsewhere?" Zhang Shaofei's words reminded the imperial doctor. I saw him touching his brain with his hand, looking at Zhang Shaofei sheepishly and saying, "This little brother reminded me. Some time ago, I heard my senior brother once said that in the west of the big provincial city hundreds of kilometers away, Hai, there is a Ganoderma lucidum pharmacy that sells this medicine." When the imperial doctor said this, he seemed very embarrassed, and turned to Zhang Shaofei and said, "The journey is so far away, how can you get there?"
Zhang Shaofei stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Anyway, let's first thank the doctor for guiding us on the road to recovery."
Lu Huilan and her mother also came forward and said in unison: "Thank you, doctor."
The imperial doctor said: "Doctors have a parent-like heart. You are welcome. I hope you can find a good medicine as soon as possible. The medicine will cure the disease and the patient will recover soon. Go and go through the discharge procedures."
Zhang Shaofei accompanied Lu Huilan and her mother to escort Lu Xueru back home. After settling in, he stood up and said goodbye: "Uncle and aunt, I'm going back. I'll go to Yunwu Mountain to collect herbs tomorrow morning. I know there may be stone work, These are some raw herbs like plantain.”
The old Xueru couple looked at Zhang Shaofei gratefully and nodded.
Lu Huilan said: "Brother A Fei, I will go with you tomorrow."
"Alan sister, the mountains are high and the roads are steep there. You should stay at home and take care of your father. I can go there." Zhang Shaofei turned to Lu Xueru and his wife again, "Don't worry, uncle and aunt, I will collect the medicine and bring it tomorrow."
After Zhang Shaofei finished speaking, he walked out of the gate and left Houliang Village.
Zhang Shaofei returned home and told Wang Shaoxiang about the matter.
After Wang Shaoxiang heard this, he sighed and asked Zhang Shaofei to go to bed early after dinner so that he could be energetic and go to the mountains to collect herbs the next morning.
…
Before the fifth watch of the next day, Wang Shaoxiang got up and woke up Zhang Shaofei after making breakfast.
After Zhang Shaofei got up and had breakfast, he set out on the road through the morning dew and facing the morning star on the eastern horizon.
Nearing the foot of Yunwu Mountain, Zhang Shaofei saw a figure standing there at the foot of the mountain through the morning mist, as if waiting for someone.
"Brother A Fei, I'm here!" Before Zhang Shaofei could get closer, he heard Lu Huilan's clear female voice coming from the foot of the mountain.
"Ah, Sister Alan, why are you here so early in the morning?" Zhang Shaofei asked knowingly.
"Waiting for you! My father and my mother said that you were worried about going into the mountains alone to collect herbs. They asked me to go with you so that you could be taken care of." Lu Huilan looked at Zhang Shaofei and explained enthusiastically, for fear that at this time Zhang Shaofei seemed to want her to go back.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhang Shaofei said happily: "Okay! Your parents are still thoughtful, I can't ask for it!"
When Lu Huilan saw that Zhang Shaofei agreed, she walked up happily. She looked around and saw no one else. She took Zhang Shaofei's hand and said coquettishly, "I knew you were telling the truth. Brother Afei, am I right?"
Zhang Shaofei blushed and joked: "Yes, yes, yes, Sister Alan is so smart, you can even see through a pig cage..."
