Zhou Changcun walked silently towards the Qianhe River carrying a basin of clothes that his second uncle had changed, and Chen Hongxia also came back carrying a basket full of corn husks.
Yao Jingping hurried back to his second uncle's room to check on his condition.
Chen Hongxia wrapped a salt water bottle filled with boiling hot water in a towel and stuffed it into her second uncle's arms to keep warm.
"Sister-in-law, why did my second uncle suddenly become like this? It is said that good people are not rewarded, and this really comes true! My second uncle has been timid and afraid of getting into trouble all his life, and he has never quarreled over trivial matters like those in the village. But like this..."
Sad tears welled up in her eyes.
She was really sad. She and her second uncle had both suffered from Wang Guihua's misfortune, so they were invisibly on the same team as her second uncle.
Yao Jingping reassured her not to worry, it will get better.
Chen Hongxia washed the corn silk that she found and put it in a teapot to soak. Then she walked to the pot house and found two boxes of matches from the bellows.
She took off the fire-wiping side of the matchbox and gently placed it on her second uncle's scratched forehead and cheeks. Chen Hongxia pressed a little bit of gray wadding from her pocket on the broken skin on her nose. The bleeding will also stop.
"What happened, what happened, Yongshan, what happened to you?"
Zhou Yongfu, wearing a cotton-padded jacket and a dog-fur cotton hat with two ears, ran in and looked anxiously at the hunchback lying on the kang.
"Tell me about you. Why did you fall over the threshold at such an old age? Tell me about you! If it hadn't been for Jing Jing, your life would have been almost gone!"
"Tranquility, Yongshan, there's no big problem, right?"
Ever since Yao Jingping saved Zhou Changsheng's life last time, everyone knew that she was really good at it. Now that she has saved Zhou Yongshan, who has stepped into the Palace of Hell, Zhou Yongfu has no doubts about her medical skills.
"Well, I have to give my second uncle an injection. It shouldn't be a big problem."
"Tranquility, can you still give injections?"
Zhou Yongfu looked surprised.
Even Hu Caiyun, the health worker at the forestry farm, doesn't have this ability.
"Ouch, I almost forgot something big!"
Zhou Yongfu slapped his thigh, took out a dry tobacco bag from his waist, took out a handful of broken tobacco leaves, pressed it into the pot, took two strong puffs, and spoke to Yao Jingping eagerly.
"I just came back from the forest farm. It turns out that the health worker at the forest farm was beaten by Zhou Chang'e. She still can't get up! I heard that she even lost the medical kit! The farm manager was so angry about this! There were ten people around the forest farm. There are hundreds of people in several villages, and there is one person who has a headache and fever and can only hold on, and everyone has opinions!"
"I told the director that Zhiyuan's daughter-in-law is very capable. She saved Zhou Changsheng's life in a matter of seconds, and even saw that there was something wrong with Zhou Chang'e at a glance. This ability is not just for bragging. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. , why not let Zhiyuan’s wife come to the forest farm health center to work as a health worker!”
"Twenty yuan a month, paid on time every month, and benefits during holidays. This is a good job, and it's perfect for you to join!"
"Well, thank you, uncle! I'll go! But with my second uncle's situation recently, I can't go to the forest farm for the time being. I have to ask my second uncle to tell the farm director. If you are in a hurry to see a doctor, just come to me at home!" "
This is a rare job opportunity!
Twenty yuan a month is paid, and more importantly, I can go to and from get off work with Zhou Zhiyuan every day!
But the most important thing at the moment is taking care of my second uncle, so I can only postpone this matter later.
After going to work, if there is work in private, she will naturally have to take it. Compared with earning 20 yuan a month, she still likes the feeling of making 60 yuan a day!
In the village, people are no more nervous than in the city. Naturally, they are not as generous as Wang Xiaolan and Liu Wenbin. However, they can earn one or two yuan a day, and they can add up to a lot.
Yao Jingping was extremely happy in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.
But Chen Hongxia, who was standing aside, rubbed her hands happily and kept saying, "Go, you must go!" She and Zhou Changcun can take care of her second uncle.
"Okay, it's settled! I'll say hello to the director later!"
While talking, Zhou Zhiyuan also came back, carrying a pack of fresh red hawthorns and a pack of silver needles.
He said that he couldn't find any other traditional Chinese medicine. He met an old man selling candied haws and spent two yuan to buy some hawthorns.
Asking him to slice a few hawthorns and boil them in water, she jumped onto the kang with a silver needle.
Zhou Yongfu, who originally planned to go back after talking about the matter, didn't leave. He opened his eyes wide and watched Yao Jingping perform the injection.
After boiling a pack of silver needles with boiling hot water, he picked it up and placed it on the lid of the aluminum box to cool down. Yao Jingjing took the silver needles and inserted them into his second uncle's acupuncture points such as Touwei, Yinbai, Yintang, and Tongzi. Silver needle.
After inserting the needle, gently hold the silver needle with the thumb and index finger of your right hand and turn it left and right.
At first, the silver needle pierced the second uncle's head as if it were pierced into wood. The second uncle had his eyes closed and showed no reaction.
About five minutes later, some black blood emerged from the place where the needle was inserted. After Yao Jingping squeezed out the black blood, the second uncle couldn't help but moan as if he felt pain.
"Ouch, ouch..."
"Second uncle, second uncle, can you speak? Can you speak?"
Zhou Zhiyuan, Yao Jingping, Chen Hongxia, Zhou Yongfu and others asked in surprise.
"Zhiyuan, last night, I was scared to death. I had a nightmare all night. I just watched a long-haired woman in red dress crawling directly into my bed. Oh, mother, she is still a Shameless..."
ah?
Yao Jingping and Zhou Zhiyuan's pupils couldn't help but tremble.
How could there be such a coincidence!
Zhou Yongfu, who didn't know what was going on, couldn't help laughing.
"Zhou Yongshan, Zhou Yongshan, you have become a hunchback since you were eighteen years old. You don't even have a matchmaker to come to your door to tell you about a wife. You have been a bachelor all your life. Why do you suddenly think of your wife? You said you guarded two If a niece-in-law and a nephew say these stupid things, you are not afraid of being laughed at..."
Zhou Yongfu laughed so hard that he coughed.
"Okay, did you go to the county hospital and saw that the mother-in-law outside was very handsome, and you are greedy for a wife? Greedy is also greedy. Your back is hunched into a mountain, and the loess is buried up to your neck. Even Wang Guihua is like that They all look down on you! Stop trying to beat your wife, take good care of your health, and don’t drag Zhiyuan and his wife down!"
Being able to speak and covet his wife means that there is nothing wrong with him. Zhou Yongfu was thinking about telling the director of the forestry farm about Yao Jingping's work, so he gave Yao Jingping and Zhou Zhiyuan a few words and left.
"Second uncle, please have a good rest. I'll go home and cook for the two children first..."
"Sister-in-law, you can go to the health worker's job at the forest farm when you need to. Anyway, there's nothing much to do in the winter. Changcun and I can just take care of the second uncle. I'll deliver three meals a day. Sister-in-law can come over and help check when she's free. Just check Uncle Er’s health!”
Chen Hongxia missed her two children at home and hurriedly gave Yao Jingping instructions before leaving.
As soon as Chen Hongxia left, only Zhou Zhiyuan and his wife were left in the room. The second uncle, with the matchbox leather on his face, couldn't lie down anymore. He held Zhou Zhiyuan's hand and struggled to get up.
"Zhiyuan, it's really not what Zhou Yongfu said. How can I covet a wife? I have been a bachelor all my life. When I was young, I didn't want a wife. At this age, I want a wife. Am I still a human being? I really saw the red dress. This woman, with her hair hanging down to her waist, kept burrowing into my bed. At first I thought it was a dream, and I thought it would be fine if I woke up, but when I closed my eyes, she came again..."
"No, it's not a dream, it's a real person!"
Zhou Yongshan was so frightened that he looked around when he said this. Suddenly he seemed to see something, screamed out, grabbed the quilt and covered his head!
