"He said he had something to wear." Qiao Nianyao took his cotton-padded coat and touched it, frowning a little, "This cotton-padded coat is not thick enough."
The cotton inside is a bit stiff.
"Fortunately, I've always dressed like this." The little old man said nonchalantly.
He had already put on the sweater. The warm and fitting sweater made the little old man have a smile on his face, "It's really good!"
"Where are the cotton quilts at home? Are they warm?" Qiao Nianyao gave him the cotton coat.
"It's warm. I just changed it the year before last." The little old man put on his cotton coat. With this warmth, he didn't have to worry about this winter at all.
"How many pounds?"
"It's six pounds, and I also hid a Yubaozi under the quilt. No matter how cold it is outside, it won't freeze me. Don't worry."
The little old man felt warm in his heart.
After the master left, no one asked him whether it was cold in winter.
Now that he has a little apprentice, he is knitting sweaters for him and making delicious food for him. The little old man wants to go to his master's grave to chat with him.
Because it was not too early, the little old man was about to go back, and he didn't get anything else for him. He didn't eat much of the brown sugar that he brought before, so Qiao Nianyao got ten boiled salted eggs.
It goes perfectly with porridge.
The little old man also liked to eat it, so he put it in the medicine box and took it away.
"Mr. Ma, why are you going back now?"
The eldest sister-in-law of the Yang family, who had teased Qiao Nianyao earlier, just came out to pour water. She saw old man Ma when he came just now, and didn't expect to leave now.
"His wife had to stay with me for a meal before she let me go." Old Man Ma said in a good mood.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Yang family immediately said: "I want you to heal Song Qingfeng's leg."
Old Man Ma glanced at her and frowned slightly when he heard that the neighbor's sister-in-law's words were adding insult to injury, but he left without saying anything.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Yang family couldn't bear it any longer. After finishing her work, she went out to chat with people from the east to the west.
Of course, let’s talk about it.
"I haven't given up yet. I think Song Qingfeng's legs can get better, so I ask Mr. Ma to come over every now and then to check!" She gloated.
"Can it be cured?" the sister-in-law couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't this nonsense? The military hospital can't cure it, but a half-baked barefoot doctor like Mr. Ma can cure it?" Sister-in-law Yang snorted.
"That's not what you said. Mr. Ma is also capable. Last year, my mother-in-law couldn't even get her feet off the ground. She took two injections in a mule cart and asked a female doctor to apply medicinal wine. She only went there three times. , last winter was much better!" said the sister-in-law next to me.
"Mr. Ma is really capable. My father also likes to use his medicinal wine. Every year when Lao Han's legs are broken, nothing can be done without Ma's medicinal wine, otherwise it will be a torment!" Another sister-in-law also said.
"..."
As soon as Sister-in-law Yang said that Mr. Ma was a half-baked barefoot doctor, the two gossiping sisters-in-law refuted that she was really capable and had a very good reputation.
Not only does it cost nothing to see him, but the key is that it works!
As for so-and-so’s problem, he sent him back to dig some grass and boil water to drink. After drinking it for a few days, he was cured!
Can this be said to be incompetent?
Sister-in-law Yang curled her lips, "Then no matter how good your medical skills are, can you still cure Song Qingfeng?"
At this time Wu Meilan came, "What are you talking about? It's so lively."
As soon as Sister-in-law Yang saw her, she immediately asked her to come over and sit down, "Let's talk about your cousin's sister-in-law. Every now and then she invites Mr. Ma to come over and show her man's legs, and she hopes to get better!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Meilan curled her lips secretly and said, "It would be great if it could get better!"
Sister-in-law Yang asked about the beating of Zhou Xiaoshan earlier, "Brother Xiaoshan, isn't this kind-hearted? I also think this is a good thing. I have to live on the kang from now on, and there is a man who is willing to come and work as a labor force. This is something you can’t even ask for, so why don’t you agree?”
Wu Meilan got very angry when she talked about this, and her tone of voice was also very serious, "Xiaoshan and I are really going to be unjustly accused of this matter. We really want to make a good relationship for them. There is no man in the family to support us. These days But how can we survive? Yes, Qingfeng has retirement pay."
Hearing this, Sister-in-law Yang quickly asked: "How much is the retirement payment?"
Several others also flashed curious eyes.
"We don't know the exact amount, but after spending so much money to marry a wife, it is estimated that there will not be much left, and even if there is still a lot, how long will it take to get out? Qingfeng will have to rely on that money in the future, and He still has a child to feed, and his wife will be pregnant and give birth to a child by then, so she won’t be able to do any work, and she will have to sit around and have nothing to do. And she has to be busy all the time, this tough guy can’t stand it, right?!"
"It's really not that we have bad intentions. In our hometown, a man is needed to support the family! Otherwise, we will be like our aunt, who left without even enjoying the blessings at such a young age. Got it!"
"But if there is a man in the family as a strong labor force, all these problems will be solved!"
"The two of us had the same plan for them, but in the end we did bad things with good intentions, but it was our fault. Many people said behind our backs that we were afraid of being asked to come to our house. Dou E was not as unjust as us!"
"..."
Wu Meilan vomited her bitterness.
Those who can get together to say that the East is better than the West and the West is short must be from the same group.
Sister-in-law Yang agreed, "I think you can see clearly. Song Qingfeng's legs are disabled. How much trouble will this cause in the future? There is no man in the family. What's the big deal? You live in the village and you can still run away? I’m afraid I’m just counting on you to disagree?!”
Wu Meilan gave a smile that was even uglier than crying, "We are all relatives, so we should help each other if we need anything."
A sister-in-law next to me also thought, "I guess I just want to rely on you. Otherwise, how could I refuse such a good thing? It's a coincidence to have your second aunt's cousin come over! If something like that hadn't happened to him, how would it have happened otherwise?" Can you get it? Besides, these are cousins, and the meat rots in the pot, so they can’t benefit outsiders!"
"That's right." Another sister-in-law also felt the same way.
Seeing that everyone knew the couple's plan, Wu Meilan complained: "Speaking of which, we old cousins really have nothing to say. When Xiaoshan came to talk, he immediately agreed to Xiaoshan and said that he was willing to wait. , if my cousin wants to change his mind, just go over and tell him, he is still willing to come over to support the old Song family, is willing to come over to help his cousin raise children, and help the old Song family continue the family line! For this relative, I I thought there was nothing more to say, but my mother-in-law beat Xiao Shan severely. My sister-in-law looked at me now and didn’t even say hello! You think, are we messing with someone? We are obviously the ones who are messing with someone. So kind!”
It's just a matter of telling Song Qingfeng and Qiao Nianyao that they don't know what is good or bad.
