When Cao Tongguang saw this, he sighed and explained to his brother.
"Ayao was seriously ill when he was a child and had an ear disease. His family was poor at the time and delayed treatment. When he grew up, he wanted to see a doctor, but they said there was no hope of cure. This is how it will be in this life..."
The Lin family was very sad when they heard this. It was a pity that such a strong and young man had to delay his marriage due to hearing impairment.
"Mom, why don't you give it a try?"
Mrs. Zheng lowered her voice and did not directly tell Mrs. Lin's medical skills in front of the two Cao brothers. First, she was afraid that the Cao family's expectations would be too high and their hopes would be disappointed in the end, which would be a bigger blow. Secondly, they had just arrived in a new place. , Mrs. Lin has never expressed her intention to return to employment, and her family cannot put too much pressure on her.
She also saw that the Cao brothers were honest and willing to help the Lin family repair the walls even though they were not relatives. For such a simple and kind-hearted family, she naturally hoped that the Cao brothers could live a better life.
Mrs. Lin hesitated and said nothing. When she first studied medicine, most of the medical skills taught to her by her master were related to gynecological diseases, so that when women seek medical consultation, they would not delay their illness due to concerns about the difference between men and women. .
Diseases related to the five senses are always more troublesome to treat than ordinary diseases. She knows some, but she is not much better than other doctors. Since it is said that it is difficult to cure, the results of her examination should not be too different.
Just when she was about to shake her head and refuse, the granddaughter in her arms suddenly became excited, grabbed the hem of her clothes and swayed her. She raised her head in a hurry and said "Ahhhh" at Cao Ayao's back.
Lin Laosan thought his daughter was calling him, so he threw away his shovel and trotted over.
"Ah Bao, do you want daddy to lift you up?"
Mrs. Lin glared at him. Her third son was a daughter-slave. He would hug his granddaughter every chance he got. A Bao smiling face at her would make him happy for a long time.
"She's not calling you, she's calling that young man!"
Mrs. Lin usually spends the longest time in contact with her granddaughter. Now she knows whether to poop or drink milk when she sticks her butt out. A Bao shouted excitedly just now. It is obvious that he heard about A Yao's illness and became interested.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Xiangyun clapped his hands, laughed out loud, and looked happy.
Lin Laosan was not happy anymore. He looked at Cao's younger brother with a more complaining look in his eyes, and went back to making peace with his head dejectedly.
Mrs. Zheng laughed out loud, and after receiving Mrs. Lin's words, she called the Cao brothers to come forward.
Only then did Cao Tongguang know that the newly arrived Lin family members were Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons, and even the old lady who looked the sickest was a Xinglin doctor.
Mrs. Lin was willing to help with medical treatment, and the Cao brothers had no reason to refuse. They were grateful and grateful. Even if Mrs. Lin said that she was just trying her best, it also brought great hope to Cao Tongguang.
After some inquiring, they asked about some prescriptions they had taken in the past. As expected, the doctor the Cao family had previously found had the same diagnosis as Mrs. Lin. Ayao's ear disease had been delayed for too long, and it was indeed difficult to cure. .
Just as she was thinking about how to comfort the Cao brothers, Xiangyun took the opportunity to kick her legs and kick off the outer layer of her coat, attracting grandma's attention.
As soon as Mrs. Lin touched her granddaughter's clean panties, she knew that her little head was thinking about something again.
"Abao, do you want to help the Cao brothers?"
Mrs. Lin took advantage of the opportunity to coax her granddaughter and asked softly in her ear.
"Ah." Xiangyun only responded with a single syllable.
Mrs. Lin's heart became nervous and she continued, "Really? What method have you come up with again? This disease is not easy to cure!"
This time Xiangyun waved his little arms more vigorously and responded twice in succession.
After receiving a positive reply, Old Mrs. Lin immediately strengthened her confidence and replied to the two Cao brothers.
"Although the disease is intractable, it is not at the point of despair. When my family settles down in the past few days, we will study a treatment method. Maybe your brother will be lucky and one day his five senses will be connected, and the disease will be cured."
"Really? Thank you, aunt! Thank you, aunt!"
Cao Tongguang excitedly hugged his younger brother's shoulders and conveyed Mrs. Lin's words to him with skillful gestures.
The young man was not as excited as his elder brother. He just smiled without any extra expression. It was easy to see from his slumped expression that he had given up hope for a cure.
With the help of the two Cao brothers, the outer wall courtyard quickly took on a new look.
A professional person does professional things. Cao Tongguang has obviously inherited his father's good skills in masonry work. There is no burr on the wall plastered with mud, and it is as smooth and smooth as freshly washed paper.
In order to thank the two brothers for their help, the Lin family warmly invited them to stay for dinner at dinner time.
Mr. Lin and Mrs. Zhang, who had gone out to buy supplies, also came back with their bullock carts. A cart full of goods was neatly stacked everywhere.
Zheng put on her apron and started to boil the newly purchased iron pot. She wiped the body of the pot with hot water and dried the water over low heat. Then she rolled a piece of fat just cut from the pork belly into the pot and spread the secreted fat evenly on it. Everywhere, the kitchen is filled with aroma.
Mrs. Zhang went into the kitchen to help her, and Zhao Ruoxia was responsible for burning firewood. After a while, she excused herself to go to the toilet, but no one was there. She only called Tianci to take over her job.
Since we are entertaining guests, the food cannot be shabby. Even if the ingredients at home are limited, Zheng still cooks a table of meals in various ways.
The only big dish was the two-pound pork belly that Mr. Lin bought. It was cut into two parts, half of which was cut into thin slices and made into red oil and garlic paste; the other half was cut into chunks to make a cabbage-stewed pork belly. .
The vegetables are wild vegetables dug by Tianci in the back mountain during the day, there is also a fried egg with green onions, a dessert of shredded sweet potatoes, and the staple food is white flour pancakes steamed in a basket.
Adults and children gathered around the table, and it was very lively. Boss Lin took out his private collection of rice wine and generously poured two large bowls for the Cao brothers.
The Cao brothers were a little reserved at first and couldn't resist the Lin family's enthusiasm. In the end, they finally put down their bowls and chopsticks after eating until their bellies were full, which made them both very embarrassed.
After the meal, Cao Ayao insisted on helping clear the table, wash the dishes and clean the kitchen. He was so diligent that he couldn't stop him.
Mrs. Zheng couldn't help laughing when she saw the young man working hard.
At this time, Lin Laosan came in with a box of fruit wrapped in oil paper: "Mr. Zhu, when you return the shovel to Aunt Zhuang next door, take this snack with you. You have been troublesome for the past two days, so you have to show some appreciation. "
Mrs. Zheng sighed, went to the yard, picked up the shovel, and headed to Aunt Zhuang's house.
However, Zhao Ruoxia shouted and asked her where to put the mugwort leaves she bought today. Mrs. Lin was in a hurry to use them.
It’s not like she leaves, it’s not like she stays.
At this time, Ayao, who had been silent all this time, took the thing in her hand and pointed in the direction of the banker's courtyard.
"I'll help you and send it there."
It was rare for the young man to speak, and Mrs. Zheng was stunned for a moment. Thinking that it was Aunt Zhuang who came here to find the Cao family today, she nodded immediately. Maybe she felt it was not enough, so she raised her voice again.
"Sorry to trouble you, Ayao, thank you!"
The young man nodded. He understood what Zheng meant. Over the years, although he had ear problems, he had learned lip reading. As long as he was face to face, he could basically communicate with people without any problem.
The moon climbed up to the treetops, and the boy's figure gradually disappeared outside the small courtyard.
The night hides the hidden love between young men and women, but silently brews a terrifying danger...
