LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 24 Not sure
Weaving a coir raincoat is not an easy task, so a good coir raincoat can last a lifetime.
Those with poor family conditions simply cannot afford to buy raincoats.
Mr. Su had one thing before. A few years ago, when the old man was hunting in the mountains, he met a man who was almost hungry, so he gave him half a piece of pancake.
The man had no money, so he gave the old man the raincoat he was wearing as a thank you gift.
Before the old man left, he gave the raincoat to Su Tieniu.
After Mrs. Wang got married, she had always regarded it as a family heirloom and left it to Su Dagui.
When Su Tiezhu went to borrow it from Wang, Wang found a reason and refused.
Looking at the rain outside, fortunately, it's not raining very hard now.
Su Tiezhu ran to the fence behind the house, cut off two banana leaves, put them on his head and went out.
People in the village are reluctant to go to the doctor for ordinary aches and pains. Those who can find a doctor for treatment are more serious ones.
The old doctor, who usually had nothing to do except go up the mountain to collect some medicine, did not expect that someone would call him for a consultation on such a rainy day.
I hurriedly put some herbs to reduce fever and heal injuries in the medicine basket, and then carried the medicine basket on my back.
Holding a worn-out oil-paper umbrella, he followed behind Su Tiezhu.
Before the old doctor put the herbs into the medicine basket, Su Tiezhu told the old doctor what he knew about the general situation of Li Qingluo and his daughter.
As soon as he arrived at Su's house, the old doctor went directly into Li Qingluo's room to see the mother and daughter.
Everyone was afraid that the mother and daughter would contract a disease that could be transmitted from person to person as Wang said, so they all stood far apart, as if they were hiding from the plague.
The old man entered the house and gently closed the door, leaving a crack as wide as a palm. Anyone standing outside the house and looking this way could see what was going on inside.
Everyone saw that after the old doctor entered the room, he walked to the bed and took a look. Then he bent down and stood by the bed and stretched out his hands to check the pulses of the two people lying on the bed.
After a while, the person got up and walked out of the house, and even helped close the door thoughtfully.
What is the situation of Li Qingluo, mother and daughter in the house? People standing far away could not see clearly.
"How's it going?" Seeing the old man coming out, the old lady stepped forward and asked with a very concerned look.
"Both of them have such serious injuries. They are prone to fever. They were rained all day yesterday. How can they not be seriously ill? They are all confused by the fever." The old doctor said.
"Then... can their disease be passed on from person to person?" Mrs. Wang rushed to ask, "When you weren't here just now, you were coughing very badly."
If it were in the past, what Wang wanted to hear most from the old man would definitely be spread like this. But now, she is afraid of hearing such words.
As long as she thinks about Li Qingluo coughing in her face that morning, she will grit her teeth with hatred.
"I'm not sure. After all, my medical skills are only enough to make a living. It's okay to prescribe them a fever-lowering medicine.
If you are worried, you should eat these meals separately from now on, and try not to get close to the patient as much as possible when you have nothing to do, that is..."
Hearing what the old doctor said, everyone who was standing far away from Li Qingluo's room immediately took a few steps back.
The old doctor seemed unable to see it, and looked embarrassed: "That injury...I don't have any good medicine? When the weather gets better, you still have to go to the town.
It would be best to ask the doctor at the medicine shop to take a look, especially your injured hand. I just looked at it and it seems that the bone is injured. "
Even if there is no good medicine, you have to pay for it. The old lady was afraid that the old doctor would prescribe too many medicines, so she hurriedly said before the old doctor could prescribe the medicine:
"That's it. Let's go to town to check on this injury. Doctor, just prescribe two sets of antipyretic medicine."
The old doctor nodded and didn't say much. Mrs. Su was notoriously picky in the village.
After prescribing the medicine and charging another thirty coins, the old doctor left the Su family.
However, when the old man returned home and put down the medicine basket, he suddenly woke up.
He remembered that he went to see the Su family, but...
He frowned, why did he only remember the scene when he entered the house and not everything else after that?
I quickly brought the medicine basket and took inventory of the medicinal materials. There was no antipyretic medicine.
He reached into his sleeve pocket again and took out thirty copper coins.
He stroked his beard and tried to recall, but he couldn't think of anything.
He shook his head, was he really old? So, this brain is not working well?
The old man stretched his neck and shouted to his wife, who was sitting in the house and mending her clothes: "Old lady, didn't Ermao pick up some walnuts from the mountains a few days ago? Make me some walnut paste tonight."
The Su family's side.
"Mom, what should we do? What I heard from the old doctor means that the illness of the third brother and sister will be passed on from person to person."
Mrs. Wang became nervous: "I don't know when it will be better? Anyway, we won't allow mother and daughter to sit at the same table with us for dinner in the future."
"It doesn't matter if they are at different tables. I heard that eating the same bowl can also spread the disease." Qian was also afraid.
Su Qiumei knew that Li Qingluo, mother and daughter, had fever caused by wound inflammation at most.
Also, he just caught a cold due to being caught in the rain. It was definitely not as exaggerated as what Wang and Qian said.
However, it is true that colds are contagious. In modern times, colds are just a minor ailment.
But in ancient times, in such poor rural areas, catching a cold was a serious problem.
So, she sat quietly next to the old lady and said nothing.
"When things are bad, just don't let them leave the house. I guess we won't dare to eat if they go to cook. From now on, it will be your turn to cook."
What's so hard about this? The old lady arranged the work again.
"Mom, I'm weak, can I leave it to my sister-in-law to deliver food to them?" Ms. Wang said immediately.
"Second brother and sister, what are you talking about? Your body is called weak, what do we call this kind of us? I think even if a bear comes, it may not be able to beat you, right?"
Who is not afraid of death and who is not afraid of illness? Wang clearly looks like a bear, but he still has the nerve to say that he is weak? Qian immediately responded.
"If you don't want to go, why don't you let me, an old woman, go? Whoever's turn it is to cook will be the one to deliver it?"
Both Wang and Qian turned their faces to the side, as if they didn't want to give it away.
"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, just bringing a meal will not spread the disease. You can leave the meal at the door and walk away. Just wait for them to open the door and get it."
When the two of them heard what Su Qiumei said, their eyes lit up, that's right, why didn't they think of it, and then they settled on it.
"Mom, I can't always let me do the daily tasks of collecting firewood, carrying water and doing laundry for my three younger siblings."
"Okay, until the third daughter-in-law and the others get better, you two will take turns doing their work."
